IMPORTANT FMS SETUP

ENGLISH ATIS & ATC Clearance (IFR) AS REQ
This checklist is designed for a efficient operation flow for one pilot, but I tried to keep
it as close as possible to the real procedures. The procedures are intentionally
simplified in some regards, to make this guide accessible for beginners. STATUS PAGE (If Page not STATUS then IDX → STATUS)
Making these checklists has become very time consuming for me. So if you really - verify Data → POS INIT
like them, please consider a donation via flightsim.to (even the smallest donation POSITION INIT PAGE (POS INIT 1/2)
would be helpfull. Many Thanks.
→ POS INIT → SET POS (LSK4R)
DEUTSCH → FPLN
Die Checkliste ist für einen effizienten Bedienungs Flow für einen Piloten gemacht, FPLN PAGE (ACT FPLN 1/1)
aber ich versuche immer so dicht wie möglich an den realen Prozeduren zu bleiben.
Die Prozeduren sind teilweise absichtlich vereinfacht, um es zugänglicher für
- enter Origin & Destination → EXEC
Anfänger zu machen. → PERF INIT
Das Erstellen dieser Checklisten ist für mich zu einer sehr zeitaufwendigen Sache PERF INIT PAGE
geworden. Falls du die Checklisten wirklich magst, ziehe bitte eine Spende via - enter CRZ ALT & PASS & CARGO → EXEC
flightsim.to in Betracht (selbst die kleinste Spende hilft weiter). Vielen Dank.
