Cold Weather Procedures


FS2Crew for the Aerosoft Airbus models cold weather procedures.  If the route to the runway is heavily contaminated, you may wish to use cold weather procedures.  This entails taxing to the runway with the flaps up to ensure no slush, etc., jams up the flaps.

NOTES:

  1. To enable cold weather procedures, select “CONTAM – CLD PROC (Y)” in the departure brief. 
  2. The FO will not set the takeoff flaps during his After Start flow.
  3. The FO will instead set the takeoff flaps after you call for the BEFORE TAKEOFF CHECKLIST.
  4. If you wish to use cold weather procedures at the arrival airport, select ‘CONTAM – CLD PROC (Y)’ in the 'Approach Brief' section.  When this option is selected, the FO will NOT raise the flaps all the way up during his 'After Landing flow'; instead, he’ll leave them in landing position.  Once you arrive at the gate, the engineers would then inspect the flap tracks to ensure they are clear of snow and slush. 
  5. Important:  If the flaps are left down, you will need to manually raise them after being cleared by the ground crew to do so.
