Just found your description for the start up of the 747-8. Would you have an explication for why the FMC does not work here while using the cockpit view which shows this instrument in large, please? I help myself by creating/adjusting an own view of the FMC from a side above. Good day!

Thank you so much!!! Your very practical tutorial brings me back from „desperately trying to learn how to handle the FMC of the 747“ to the joy of the uncomplicated and wonderful flying around with a plane. 😅 A great reminder of what the sim is really for…. Especially with these incredible sceneries. Thanks again. Love it.

I used to fly a ‘98 172R. The worst part of the preflight was checking the fuel drains. The 152 and PA28s have three, one under each wing and under the nose. The 172 had a total of 13, five under each wing and three under the nose. Unless you did them in the same order each time, you’d wonder if you’d done them all.

Worst part as well is not connecting the end correctly and all the fuel flys out all over the hand and arm. Happened a few times to me.

Thanks Jonathan. You should add checking the trim before takeoff because it’s universal to any aircraft.

I used this checklist this morning, and it made flying from KCXW to KLIT a lot easier, even though it's already straightforward.

Another bang on video Jonathan! Thank you so much. I live in Canada (Northern Ontario) but find myself flying all over the UK because of wanting to mimic your flights! My relatives live in and around Newcastle. Maybe I should fly around there sometime soon. Cheers!

When you do a run-up check; you also need to check oil pressure/oil temps/amps/carb heat and finally idle. Just saying.

I may end up adding those tests - it's difficult to strike a balance between things that make a difference in the simulator versus the real world :)

Great content as usual. Quick question: should Standby Battery be switched off after start up?

No - it should be left armed - so it can kick in if required.

When l learnt to fly we always did a low rpm mag check as well. Some years ago now maybe things have changed. But as you say it’s only a sim. I wonder if you could get a mag error if failure’s turned on? Though then you would need a sim mechanic to fix it😂

Some of the more accurate planes might simulate that - the Black Square aircraft are pretty good. The Comanche 250 is good too.

Good idea to make sure parking break is on before starting engine?
@jonbeckett6 ай бұрын
As I said - I didn't do ALL of the checklist - otherwise it would be ten times longer. Fun story - when learning how to start the F-18 in DCS, I once unlocked the throttles before spinning the engines up - and the aircraft backfired and blew itself across the parking area in a cloud of smoke. I only did it once :) Was amazed it was simulated.
