TUTORIAL #2
For Simulator Use Only DO NOT DUPLICATE 27FEB15 RTM
TAKEOFF PROCEDURE
Turn the LANDING lights ON with a left click on the gang-bar.
Smoothly advance the thrust levers until N1 is around 40% and
allow the engines to stabilize.
Press the TO/GA switch. (Remember the hidden clickspot for this
is below the captain’s MCP COURSE knob)
As the autothrottle brings the engines up, push your physical
throttle all the way forward to avoid any issues with the pots
returning you to idle when the A/T mode goes to ARM and
disconnects the servos.
Note – if you see a yellow master caution that lights but then
clears quickly as you bring the thrust up for takeoff, this is most
likely another quirk of the real plane we’ve modeled. Sometimes
the latching system for the overwing emergency exit doors will fail
to fully catch right away during takeoff. As long as the caution
clears, you’re fine and can continue the takeoff. If it remains
illuminated then you should abort the takeoff prior to V1.
Verify that the engines are stable at the takeoff N1 limit.
At VR, rotate smoothly at around 2-3 degrees per second toward
an initial target of 15 degrees nose up.
