Captain Sim 737 Start Up and Flight Tutorial
Greetings all, I decided to make a flight tutorial that would be easy for beginners to understand! I would love some input form the community! I am not very experienced in flying airliners, so any input/suggestions/advice for this tutorial would be greatly appreciated. I am combing through the 737-200 flight manual to find all necessary tasks to put into this tutorial. Please respond if I have missed a step or have done something out of order. I will number the steps, so if you find an error or have a suggestion please note the step number that I should revise or add another step. I will continually edit/update this tutorial, so after people make suggestions, I will keep it up to date. I will put the final version into a nice layout. I will also add pictures to the final version. Cold and Dark Startup To get the 737-200 in a cold and dark setting, load the default Cessna 172. Pull the mixture control fully out, turn the magneto switch to the off position, switch off the Avionics Master switch, Turn off the Alternator Switch, then turn off the Battery Switch. Now load the Captain Sim 737-200 and it will be in the cold and dark state. Preflight 1. Battery Switch- ON 2. Avionics Master Switch -ON (behind co-pilot seat) 3. Yaw Damper Switch ON 4.
