Captains preflight

Featured Replies

Hi, I was looking at the captains preflight flows from FS2crew and there couple items I'm wondering where they are. The first one is "Gyro Caging control" it says to call then release. Guess how do I test the oxygen? Look in the FCOM, but I could not find anything on it, it was probably there but I just didn't see it.

I think that is releasing the gyro on the standby attitude indicator (if you have the standby instruments installed (not the digital standby instrument) on the center instrument panel.

The oxygen mask is next to the captain's left knee. The container says "EROS". Press the test button to the left of the oxygen hose. You should hear a momentary flow of oxygen accompanied by a yellow X in the upper left corner. Now press the EMERGENCY/TEST button right below the oxygen hose and then press and hold the test button. You should hear a continuous sound of oxygen.

I don't see an  oxygen mask?

It's stowed in a box on the side console, below the steering tiller and by the front left corner of the seat cushion. The test button, flow indicator and mask release handles are visible.

Do you mean the red things? Because when I click the clickable red area in the tan colored square just behind the tiller I'm not hearing any air?

The standby gyro needs to be "erected." You pull the knob to erect the gyro, and then you release the knob.

To the left of the red handles is a white arrow. That's where the test switch is.
