Cold Weather Procedures
FS2Crew for the PMDG 737 NGX 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, and then selecting the takeoff flaps just prior to running the
'Before Takeoff Checklist'. When calling for the takeoff flaps, wait for the FO to announce that the flaps have been set for takeoff prior to asking for the Before Takeoff Checklist.
To enable cold weather procedures, select “CONTAM – CLD PROC (Y)” in the departure brief.
Note that ’Y’ stands for ‘Yes’.
If you select ‘N’ for ‘No’, the FO will not use cold weather procedures.
Notes:
-
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 only retract them to flaps 15. Once you arrive at the
gate, the engineers would then inspect the flap tracks to ensure they
are clear of snow and slush.
Important: If the flaps are left down, you will need to manually raise them after being cleared by the ground crew to do so.
You will also need to manually shut off the 'ELEC HYD PUMPS' after the flaps have been raised.
