| - | ==== 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. | ||

| - | We have now reached the takeoff configuration. When you set the aircraft onto the runway using the location dialog in the main menu almost all the steps above will be completed already. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Takeoff ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Advance your throttle levers fully forward to set the pre-selected takeoff power. Maintain the aircraft on the center line using the rudder. When the airspeed on the PFD reaches VR easy the nose up gently and rotate with about 3° of pitch rate. Positive rate - Gear up! | ||
| - | Fly a speed about 10kts above V2 and engage the autopilot if desired. The autopilot will switch to PITCH HOLD mode which can be controlled with the vertical wheel in the center of the autopilot panel if necessary. Scrolling with the mousewheel will lower the nose and allow speed to increase or increase the pitch attitude and slow the aircraft down. Monitor the indicated speed and correct the selected pitch as necessary. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== After Takeoff ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | In the initial climb phase up to about 1000ft there isn't much to do if the autopilot is flying. Use the rudder trim to reduce the slip angle as indicated on the PFD at the top of the attitude indicator. | ||
| - | |||
| - | At 1000ft above the airport press the " | ||
| - | |||
| - | When reaching the MDA (1500ft above airport) press the " | ||

| - | ==== Climb ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Above transition altitude (18,000ft in USA, about 5,000ft in Europe) push the BARO SET knob left of the PFD. This will set the pressure to 1013 hPa or 29.92 InHg (which at the current development state it already is). In this tutorial this won't be necessary as we are flying in the USA but stay below the 18 thousand feet anyway. | ||
