September 12, 200619 yr 1. After landing the FO sets the transponder to XPDR, not to STBY. Squawkbox 3 (for VATSIM) only detects the STBY position as STBY so when flying online I have to turn off the transpoder manually.2. Over the Shudown checklist the FO sets all fuel pumps to off, except the FWD and AFT MAIN 3 tanks. They remain on. They may be oversights by me, or bugs. Advise.All the best, --eric Eric Bocaneanu ROvACC Director
September 12, 200619 yr Commercial Member Hi Eric,I'll check STBY and the fuel pumps.The fuel pumps are tricky because the FO is guessing what needs to be turned off (he can't read their actual position).If he makes a mistake, you can correct him... that's why you two pilots to check other :-)Chrs,Bryan B.

September 12, 200619 yr I've noticed that sometimes FO forgets to turn off Landing Lights at 10k on departure, but I just figure he's busy talking on the radio and I turn them off for him :-)Damon
September 12, 200619 yr Commercial Member Hi Damon,He'll never forget.If the FO is not turning off the landing lights, make sure there is nothing intercepting keypresses and make sure the lights were on in the first place (the lights could have been out of sequence).Chrs,Bryan B.
