TUTORIAL #2
For Simulator Use Only DO NOT DUPLICATE 27FEB15 RTM
BEFORE TAXI PROCEDURE
Now that the engines are running and stabilized, we need to reconfigure a
few items.
On the lower overhead electrical panel, turn the GENERATOR 1
and 2 switches to ON.
This transfers electrical power from the APU generators to the
engine driven generators.
Turn the probe heat switches at the right top of the lower
overhead on.
We won’t need wing or engine anti-ice today (unless you’re using
weather and you do), so we’ll leave these off.
Place both PACK switches back in AUTO.
Place the ISOLATION VALVE switch in AUTO.
Turn the APU BLEED switch off.
Turn the APU start switch OFF.
Place the engine start switches in the CONT. position.
Verify both engine start levers are in IDLE (up).
Set takeoff flaps – in our case this is Flaps 1.
Check the motion/travel of the flight controls – you can use the
SYS MFD button to show the flight control position on the lower
engine DU to do this.
The PMDG House Livery is equipped with this option, however
not every airline livery is. In that case you’ll just be relying on the
feel and range of motion in the yoke and pedals.
You want to move the yoke in all directions through its full range
of travel. The same applies to the rudder pedals.
Press the SYS button again to blank out the lower engine DU.
