The FO will turn off the APU bleed after making this call.
After starting the first engine (usually the left engine is started first), advance the Thrust Lever on the operating engine to 5% above idle or until you get a minimum of 25psi duct pressure.
Accomplish a normal engine start.
ENGINE GROUND PNEUMATIC START:
The APU must be shutdown and Air Start connected.
Duct pressure - minimum 25 psi, less 1 per 1000 feet of pressure altitude.
Accomplish a normal engine start.

VOICE CONTROL ONLY:
Prior to taking off, speak: THIS WILL BE A TOUCH AND GO
That commands puts FS2Crew into touch and go mode.
Ensure the FMC is completed in full.
Unlike other FS2Crew versions, there is no need select Touch and Go's on the Approach Brief page for the Approach Type.
Rotate smoothly to approximately 15 degrees pitch and climb and Vref + 15 to 25 to 1500 feet.
Only retract the flaps to 5. Calling for Flaps 5 is the trigger for the FO to run his After Takeoff flow.
If you took off with Flaps 5, you will need to manually advance the mode using the arrow buttons on the Main Panel.
We recommend taking off with Flaps 15.
Turn cross wind, then run the After Takeoff Checklist.
Enter VREF in the FMC, then run the Descent Checklist.
For the Minimums challenge, speak "SET AND CHECKED".
Passing the threshold abeam the runway, run the Approach Checklist.
Flaps 20 and gear down before turning base.
Descent to about 700 feet on base with the landing flaps and Landing Checklist completed.
Ensure the landing flaps are set prior to calling for the Landing Checklist.
After touching down, the FO will set Flaps 20 and call rotate at Vref.
To make a full stop landing or cancel Touch and Go mode, speak: THIS WILL BE A FULL STOP.

GPU and AIR CONDITIONING AT THE ARRIVAL GATE:
In the CFG options, select if you want the GPU and Air Conditioning Cart to automatically connect at the gate.
When you arrive at the gate, set the parking brake and shut down the right engine only.
A few moments later, the ground crew will automatically set the chocks and GPU (and AC) if selected in the CFG Options.
When the external power is connected, there is no signal from the ground crew. (That will come when Ultimate Ground Crew X is released.)
When the external power AVAIL light illuminates on the Overhead Panel, press it to bring the GPU on-line.
Once external power is fully connected to the aircraft, shutdown the left engine.
If you do not want the GPU or AC to connect automatically, you can still use the standard voice commands to connect these two items.
