CRJ700 Startup Video Transcript

Flight Simulator does not include start up procedures for any of the airliners,
but we’ve developed a checklist that can help you tremendously.

We’re using a Desktop Airliner Cockpit enclosure, the CRJ checklist, and the
default CRJ700.

Start with a cold and dark cockpit.

Verify Parking Brake on and throttle at idle.

Switch to virtual cockpit to verify the landing gear handle is down.

Generator 1 and 2 off.

Battery Master switch on.  

Panel lights on if required.

Avionics Master on.

Click the EICAS to the Fuel page, and request fuel if needed.

APU on, APU generator on

Click to the Flight Controls page on the EICAS

And check the ailerons

Check the elevator

And also check the rudder

This page shows the flap position.  Check that the flaps are up

Check that the spoilers are retracted

Select the engine gauges on the EICAS

Anti-ice switches off

Passenger signs on

Open the ATC window and check ATIS

It’s a good idea to write down the information

Press the “altitude set” button for the current altimeter setting.

Contact clearance delivery and write down your clearance

Assuming our simulated passengers are on board, we’re ready to close the
door

Release the parking brake and start the pushback.  We need to see behind the
airplane, so select an outside view.

When you’re in position, re-set the brake

Open the fuel valves.  You would expect this display is showing open fuel
valves, but actually its not.  

Press the Fuel Flow button to open the valves

And you should see this.  I think this is actually an error in the Flight Simulator
program.

Click the Master Ignition

Engine 1 starter switch on, check that N1 is increasing as N2 increases.  
Check the oil temperature and pressure.

Turn off the Engine 1 starter, and turn on the Engine 2 starter

And again check N1 and N2, oil temperature and pressure, and fuel flow.

Turn on the generators.

Turn off the Master Ignition.

APU generator off  APU off.  It takes a moment for the APU to spool down.

Switch on lights and anti-ice depending on the weather.

We’re trimming a little nose up because we’re almost at our maximum weight
today.

Turn on the Flight Director

Select Heading Hold

And Heading Bug.  Use your increase/decrease selection event to set the
departure heading of 230.

Select Altitude Hold

Then Altitude Bug.

Set the departure altitude to 13,000 feet.

Check transponder is set

And release the brakes.  Request clearance to taxi.

Start rolling, then perform a brake check.

Ok, break’s over, let’s get back to work.
