Normal Checklist



RED TEXT = TRIGGER VOICE PHRASE

BLUE TEXT = SILENT CHECKLIST READ BY CAPTAIN (THAT'S YOU!)

Notes: 

1. If you get stuck, use the speech phrase 'SET AND CHECKED' to skip to the next item.

2.  For the Checklist to function, the displayed mode in the FS2Crew Main Panel must match the Checklist you are trying to call.
For example, to call for the After Start Checklist, the displayed mode in the FS2Crew Main Panel must display "AFTER START".

3. You must use the exact syntax.

4. The following checklists are read silently by the FO/PM:  CLIMB and AFTER LANDING.  

5. The FLIGHT DECK POWER UP and SECURING checklists are read silently by you (the Captain).

6. Certain checklist items need to be responded to using specific values, such as those marked by 'AS REQ'D'.  The allowed syntax for such items are marked in square brackets.  XX refers to the specific numeric value of the item in question, such as a fuel weight.

7. Abbreviations:
 
-C = Captain.
-F = FO.
-PF = Pilot Flying.
-PM = Pilot Monitoring.
-CR = Crew members.
