Guide – Checklist & Procedures for MS Flight Simulator by JayDee v1.33.5

IMPORTANT NORMAL PROCEDURES (SIMPLIFIED)

ENGLISH
This checklist is designed for a efficient operation flow for one pilot, but I tried to keep PREFLIGHT & COCKPIT PREPERATION
it as close as possible to the real procedures. The procedures are intentionally
simplified in some regards, to make this guide accessible for beginners. Fuel/Load-Toolbar Panel SET
Making these checklists has become very time consuming for me. So if you really EFB Options / Throttle Calibration SET
like them, please consider a donation via flightsim.to (even the smallest donation
would be helpfull. Many Thanks. EFB Ground Power / Doors / Chocks SET AS DESIRED

DEUTSCH SAFETY CHECK

Die Checkliste ist für einen effizienten Bedienungs Flow für einen Piloten gemacht,
aber ich versuche immer so dicht wie möglich an den realen Prozeduren zu bleiben.
Battery (OHP) ON
Die Prozeduren sind teilweise absichtlich vereinfacht, um es zugänglicher für Wipers (OHP) BOTH OFF
Anfänger zu machen. **Circuit Breaker Panels (OHP) CHECK
Das Erstellen dieser Checklisten ist für mich zu einer sehr zeitaufwendigen Sache Propeller Brake (OHP) OFF
geworden. Falls du die Checklisten wirklich magst, ziehe bitte eine Spende via
flightsim.to in Betracht (selbst die kleinste Spende hilft weiter). Vielen Dank. EEC & ATPCS (MP) all 3 ON
