Hi,Thought I'd keep myself busy while I wait for the PMDG 737NGX, so I decided to work on a new Flow/Checklist. Hopefully this will help all the new PMDG 737NGX pilots that are ready to jump into this beautiful looking lady.

:( Looking forward to it!!

Good work Michael . . . please proceed!I use your checklists for SSM07 that you did and they were well laid out and obviously imformative. Look forward to using them.

Haay that's my cockpit picture! :PWas on EDDF-VHHX with my 8i :PNice stuff you got there :D

Now that is really cool :)Looking forward to it ;)

Nice work. But a 747 on the front? Were only pilots, that'll fill the 737 drivers heads with air quickly! Hehehe. Wouldn't it make sense for a 737 photo on the front? That said, I once found a DC10 checklist in one of our A320s...

You'd be surprised (or perhaps not). About a year or so ago, I was producing some SOP manuals for the Boeing 757/767 for a European airline (who shall remain nameless), and they sent me a picture for the binder cover of the SOP manual for their 757s and 767s that was an Airbus A330, even my wife (who is not a pilot) pointed out that it was an Airbus and not a Boeing when the pic came through on our email. I contacted them and they said: 'oh, it'll be alright, just use that'. Of course I replied that 'no, it wouldn't be alright, your pilots will think they've got the wrong SOP in their cockpit!' and so I sourced pictures of the right aeroplanes to use on the cover and insisted that I use those!You might be interested to know that for some of the publications for that airline that I've produced, when they haven't been able to provide suitable pictures of their aeroplanes, I've actually used screesnhots of FSX aeroplanes in their liveries which I got from the Avsim file library, touched up in Photoshop! So there are one or two real airline SOPs kicking about Europe that have pics of the default FSX Airbus painted up to look like the real thing in them. :( Al

Ha, that's a good one! :( :(

Hi,It will be changed to a 737, I just like that screen shot. :(

Al, thank god someone knows what they're doing with the printing of paperwork! I've flown with many skippers who'd near refuse the aircraft from the engineers if we had the wrong manuals or even if it had a photo of another type on the cover..thankfully ours just carry the company logo and aircraft type along with the manuals title...no need for photos! I'd LOVE to see the manuals with the FSX aircraft on though!! That was actually one of my interview questions when I joined my airline.."You conduct your security search of the flight deck and notice a selection of other types manuals are mixed with yours, what would you do about this?" haha

Fair enough Good work!

WHEN!?!? :( :( :(

Can't really show you pics of the manuals since SOP manuals are sort of confidential because of the security details in them, as I'm sure you know, however, when My Travel were merging with Thomas Cook, which is another airline we've done stuff for, we did use FSX for the aeroplanes that appeared on documents relating to that, and those I can show you. There's an interesting tale surrounding that too...What they originally wanted, was a picture of a My Travel airliner flying toward a Thomas Cook one, supposedly to symbolise the merge. Of course the artwork was done, but I pointed out to them that it probably wasn't a great idea to depict two airliners flying toward one another on a collision course, to which they said 'oh yeah'. So, then they asked me if I had a picture of a My Travel A320 in formation with a Thomas Cook A320! So of course I said: 'And why would I have a picture of that? If you want a picture of that, go and get two of your airliners, fly them out over the Mediterranean and get an aerial shot of them in formation' so they said, 'Oh no, we haven't got the budget for that, can't you do some sort of photo montage of it?' So what I did, was download a paint job of My Travel's livery and one of Thomas Cook's livery from Avsim, and then stuck them on an FSX Airbus, then I took them both up for a fly around, did some screenshots, and merged them together to make it look like they were flying in formation on a nice sunny day.But here are the two FS airliners side views that were on the original version of the artwork where they were 'merging', I think they were the Wilco ones that I used, but I can't really remember for sure, they might have been some other ones:Al

Michael comes through again!I find your SSMS checklists to be great, and look forward to this project as well.Cheers,

I has also flown in SSM with Michael's checklists and all I can say is that it is quality.Looking forward to the NGX checklist. :)

Hi Everyone,I'm currently working on the Go-Around/Missed Approach Procedure, I'm in the home stretch of finishing this thing. I could use a few volunteers to look it over and give some feedback.This is not my usual one page front/back Flow/Checklist, this is a multi page Flow/Checklist with numerous hints/info below the Flow/Checklist item.If your interested in viewing the PDF drop me a PM and I'll send you the download location as soon as its finished.Thanks
