Flying Tips
===========

* Before take-off check the elevator trim. Five or six clicks of nose up trim is advisable for take-off.

* Use two notches of flap ( 6º ) for heavy take-offs. Rotate (raise the nose) at 120 kts.

* The autopilot on this model is not suitable for autothrottle take-offs.
Set auto speed hold to 250kts before take-off but do not arm the autothrottle. Use 90-100% power for take-off when heavily loaded. Throttle back when established in the climb out, then arm and activate autothrottle and autopilot.

* In the VC ... To move to the Jump Seat or First Officer position... Keep pressing CTRL-SHIFT ENTER

The Spacebar will bring you back to the Default eye point position.
