This document provides a normal operation checklist for an X-Plane simulation, outlining the preflight, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, approach, landing, and engine shutdown procedures. Key steps include checking fluids, controls, and instruments before engine start; verifying the FADEC system functions properly; following procedures for taxi, takeoff, and climbing to the desired altitude; monitoring engine parameters and fuel during cruise; setting flaps and slowing for the approach and landing; and securing the aircraft after shutting down the engine. Safety warnings are provided throughout regarding system checks and operating limits.
