PA46 Piper Malibu Before Starting Engine Checklist

[Emilio_G 0]

The first in my series of posts about the checklists in hopes of filling in all the gaps that Carenado left off. First of all I don't really see what is the point of putting a checklist with items that are either inoperable or just not applicable to the simulation. I also noticed that some hotspot switches have a function different from what the panel label (in the VC) actually says.

 

So, for the list, those items with [X] I got covered, those with [?] I am unsure where to find them and those with [  ] are those that I believe do not apply to the simulated aircraft. Please correct me if I am mistaken please! I want to make a true checklist for this wonderful plane!

 

[  ] Pre Flight Check according AFM (what is AFM?)

[?] Door Pins (somebody said they should be green inside the door but I do not see them)

[  ] Seat Belts

[X] Parking Brake

[X] Gear Lever

[?] Emergency Gear Knob

[  ] Circuit Breakers

[X] ELT

[X] All Electrical Switches (I guess only those on the overhead)

[?] Radio Master Switch (tooltip says "Master Avionics")

[X] Alternate Static Source (I think underneath the main panel, Alt. Switch)

[  ] Cabin Altitude Selector (inoperable)

[X] Cabin Altitude Rate Control (dummy switch)

[?] Cabin Pressurization Control

[X] Cabin Dump Switch (overhead switches)

[?] Oxygen Pressure Gage

[  ] Oxygen masks

[?] Ground Clearance Switch

[X] ATIS (tune radio - IVAO/VATSIM)

[X] Startup Clearance (IVAO/VATSIM)
