- | ==== Flight Preparation ==== | ||
- | |||
- | After setting up the tutorial route from San Diego to Los Angeles select the Bombardier Dash 8Q-400 (short Q400) in the fresh green or colorful celebration Horizon livery and use the location dialog to place the aircraft in San Diego on the ramp (white aircraft symbol). | ||
- | |||
- | In the control settings in the Autopilot section we need to assign a key/button to the TOGA button ("Take off / go around mode" | ||
- | |||
- | Move the throttle to idle and if you have your condition levers assigned, move them all the way forward now. Then press " | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Introduction To The Flightdeck ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Take your time and look around the Cockpit for a bit. Directly in front of the pilot two monitors can be found. The left one is the primary flight display (PFD) and the right one is the navigation display (ND). | ||
- | |||
- | The PFD displays, left to right, the current airspeed, the attitude, the altitude and the vertical speed. In the lower half of the display you find the horizontal situation indicator (HSI) | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Engine Start ==== | ||
- | |||
- | You can skip this part if you don't want to do this, the engines should already be running at this point But if you want to start the engines for yourself go ahead and move your condition levers all the way down to FUEL OFF. | ||
