What triggers a through flights?. I tried setting the panel up for short turn and then running the secure aircraft checklist. When i ran PF events the F/O still goes through the first flight of the day flows.

 

In the real world sometimes you receive the aircraft after the last flight crew and we do whats called a receiving aircraft checklist. This is actually just an expanded shutdown checklist. What the departing flight crew does is reset the panel to what it would be on the first flight of the day then hand the plane over to the engineers. The incoming crew runs the receiving aircraft checklist. then starts the normal pref-fight procedures.

 

Why is this not modeled in Fs2crew. If i start a flight at 11am in the morning 8/10 times that aircraft has already flown at least 1-2 legs that day so the full Pre-flight system test items do not have to be done.

 

I guess my question is can we get a receiving aircraft checklist that will trigger the captain to say something along the lines of lets set up for the next sector or next leg? Without having to do an entire flight

 

I'm OCD about these things it just bugs the heck out of me when i start up a flight at 8pm and and the F/O is doing a TCAS and over speed warning test

Hi there,Nope, the reciving aircraft checklist as you call it is not modeled, sorry. It's actually pointless to model it. The reason is whenever a flightcrew changes a full preflight MUST be done, which means the flightcrew must test each system again, no shortcuts. So you being OCD about it makes no Denve,..in the real world it would happen as well.Regards

Ok cool thanks for responding

No Problem, anytime.

 

Also, if you want to do a through flight, after you run the shutdown checklist, skip the securing aircraft checklist with the arrows and then click "run pf".
