DESCRIPTION
===========
The Manual/Checklist describes all neccessary settings and operations for the "PSS Phoenix Simulation Software Boeing 777-200", starting with a "dark and cold" panel/engine. From Pre Start - Startup - Before Taxi - Taxi - Before Takeoff - Takeoff - Climb Out - Cruise - Descent - Approach - Landing - Taxi To Ramp - Shutdown - Securing Aircraft - to "cold".
I am using MSFS since the beginning and finally I was tired to fly starting with a running engine and ending the flight the same way. So I made my personal checklists to make it for me "As Real As It Gets".
I collected checklists for my preferred aircraft from the software packages, from various internet-pages, from the manufacturer (if already existing) and - of course - with the help of a good friend, who ist flight instructor.
After a long time of testing, I now publish my Manuals/Checklists, thinking that flightsim enthusiasts my have fun using it. Many times I have profited from other people downloading their files ... now it's my turn.
HOW TO PRINT IT
===============
You need Acrobat Reader (should be version 5+), freeware, which is already installed on most computers (it came also with FS2002 on CD nr.1).
Load the file "B-777 PSS.pdf" and in the Print-menu check the 3 boxes "Shrink oversized pages to paper size", "Expand small pages to paper size" and "Auto-rotate and center pages".
Print first the "Odd-pages", change the sequence of the printed pages and put it again in the printer; then print the "Even-pages" and fold the booklet ... I'm sure, you will find out!
HOW TO USE IT
=============
The Manual/Checklist is intended to start with a "dark and cold" panel/engine. If you want to get the maximum from this booklet, you should create an adequate starting situation.
If you are used to start flight simulator with running engines and avionics ready for takeoff, place the aircraft at a gate, or a parking position, use the Manual/Checklist items at its end from "Taxi" until "Shutdown"; then you should have the desired situation; you should also use the "Performance and Panel Setup Window" to setup a "cold and dark cockpit" - "Automatically" ... save it.
!!! Together with the package "Boeing 777-200 Professional" and by downloading several PDF-files from the webpage of PSS there are a lot of manuals and checklists which describe the working of all buttons and gauges and - of course - the philosophy of flying a B-777. These manuals describe all functions of the panel in detail. My manual/checklist does not replace these fine manuals, but it is an easy-to-use addition !!!
