Bryan, just a couple of things that might be improved in this fantastic simulation (well, the second one is not really an "improvement"):

 

-Could it be possible to delay the FO turning off the lower EICAS screen after flight controls check on ground before departure? He always blanks the screen while I am still performing the check. This action could be moved later, say after the before taxi checklist, so that I have all the time to check the flight controls without fearing that the screen will go off...

 

-Does the Australian FO really say "autobrakes"? I am not English mother tongue, but to me it seems more a "weather radar" or similar. Could this callout be re-sampled so that it is more understandable for a non (australian) english speaking person?

 

Thank you!

 

Hi James,

 

1. I'll pass the mic to Damien for that request.

 

2. Autobrakes with an AU accent?   Any one else find Autobrake hard to understand?

nope...

 

But Im an Aussie

You should start checking the flight controls after you call "flaps XX" that should give you ample time i think. What do you do after that ? How much time would you say you'd need after that to complete the check ?

Damien, I start checking the flight controls right after calling for takeoff flaps (and the FO confirms flaps set during my check), then I have maybe 30 seconds? That's too little, I want to do the check carefully, without hurrying. Wouldn't it be a good idea to turn the screen off somewhere during taxi or before takeoff? 

Thank you.
