- | 2. Decide your cruise altitude | + | 2. **set the aircraft onto the runway;** this will set the cruise altitude |
- | 3. Once you are in the cockpit, dial in your **desired cruise altitude**. Make sure the other two windows are dashed | + | 3. Advance thrust to **TOGA** or **FLX** and lift off |
- | 4. During take-off select | + | 4. After a couple of seconds after lift off **engage autopilot** |
- | 5. Once **LVR CLB** appears in the PFD, retard | + | 5. when **LVR CLB** flashes on the PFD move the thrust levers down to **CLB detent** |
- | 6. **Enable AP1** at your convenience and watch the aircraft fly its trajectory. Without ATC or dynamic weather there won't be many reasons to make altitude changes or any other autopilot inputs for that matter. | + | 6. as speed increases above -S speed **retract the flaps** |
- | Note the blue and white arrows on your navigation display. Those indicate your predicted top of climb and top of descent points. The later indicates where we should start our descent. | + | |

- | 8. Monitor | + | 8. when ILS is received and you're flight plan is about to make the last turn: press the **APPR** button to arm the ILS localizer and glide slope. **Engage second autopilot** |
- | 9. Push the **LS** button once you are close to your destination to display glideslope and localizer on your PFD. | + | 9. set **flaps 1** and monitor speed. increase flaps when you are below the **amber =** on the speed scale |
- | Once the glideslope diamond on your altitude band gets close to your actual altitude you can activate | + | |
- | 10. Land; deploy flaps and gear as speed decreases, arm the spoilers by moving | + | 10. **gear down** at about 2000ft radar altitude |
