Take off config alarm

Recommended Posts

What items trigger this alarm? I seem to have brakes, flaps, trim, lights and a range of other things set but this alarm still goes off. I take off anyway and the alarm ceases and things return to normal. Is there a quick way of finding out what item hasn't been set correctly for TO?Bruce

Actually the AUTOBRAKE is not part of the takeoff configuration warning system. Here are all the items that will give you an alarm:

Thanks guysHaven't flown the 737NG for a while been off trying to get my head around turboprops, there are now so many excellent 3rd part aircraft available that it is hard to remain up to speed on all of them.Bruce

Flap 5 is the usual setting. Flap 1 or 15 are very rare.John

I was told on a previous post about this issue that once you upgraded to the 800/900, the spoilers must be controlled with the mouse and would not work with the '/', a 'feature' I personally find more like a downgrade than an upgrade. Can the 800/900 spoliers be configured to work with the '/' like the 600/700 and all other FSim aircraft?Kerke

John,For a light to medium weight -600 or -700 on a "normal" runway and during "normal" weather I would consider flaps 1 the usual setting! But for the 800 or 900 you are correct.Sidenote. The NG series is approved for TO flaps 1, 5, 10, 15 and 25.Hope it helps,
