ALL INFORMATION INTENDED FOR FLIGHT SIMULATION ONLY
Navigation Display ...........................................................................ND
All performance data, aircraft limitations and procedures on these checklists
Outboard Display Unit................................................................... ODU were extracted from documents available on the Internet, observing the
Primary Flight Display ....................................................................PFD following priority:
Upper Display Unit ........................................................................ UDU 1. Manuals, tutorials, and data from the flight simulator/aircraft developer,
Mandatory action. 2. Tutorials and tips from the flight simulation community, and

Action required. 3. Actual aircraft operating manuals, in the absence of previous references.
Whenever possible, I sought to bring the procedures presented here as
Not modelled/simulated.
closely as possible to those of the real aircraft. However, this document is for
FMC configuration.
flight simulation use only.
Zibo EFB and/or X-Plane configuration.
Items were marked as follows:
Radio communication. "Mandatory action": The action must be performed to be able to carry out the flight.
Otherwise, the aircraft may malfunction or not function at all.
COCKPIT LAYOUT "Action required": The action is required and simulated in the flight simulator. For a
complete simulation experience, it is recommended to perform it.
"Not modeled/simulated": The action is performed on a real aircraft but is not
simulated in the flight simulator.
"FMC Configuration": Refers to steps required to configure the FMC for instrument
flight. Mandatory for IFR flight.
For each item on the checklist, the location of the switch or button that must
be activated is placed next to it.
This checklist was prepared for a complete IFR flight, from gate to gate, using
the autopilot and flight management system features.
The intention of this list is to be much more than a checklist, which is much
shorter, and much less than a guide, which is much more comprehensive. It's useful
for me. I hope it will be useful for you.
