December 17, 20214 yr Hi, unfortunately I have huge problems with the checklist for the 737 NGXu. Example given... _____________________________________________________________________________ PREFLIGHT [ ] Oxygen -- Tested [ ] Navigation transfer and display switches -- NORMAL [ ] display switches -- AUTO [ ] Window heat -- ON [ ] Pressurization mode selector -- AUTO [ ] Flight instruments -- checked [ ] Parking brake -- on [ ] Engine start levers -- CUTOFF It is nearly impossible to just answer "Normal" for "Navigation transfer and display switches". Nothing happens, The FO does not react until I say "skip". Do I need to train my voice because he does not understand the word "normal"? I did the normal voice training and hes understanding me fine in the plane when giving commands. The same for [ ] Pressurization mode selector -- AUTO. He does not understand the word "Auto" from me. Do I have to go through the voice training even more or am I doing somehting wrong? Another question. Actually I would like to change the checklist a bit. Can I e.g. just write [ ] GPS -- SET NAV How will that work? Does MCE actually know that it needs to check the GPS roiary knob then? Where can I see the supported commands that MCE can really control/check for the checklist? Thanks! Best regards Andi

Do not edit files in \Multi Crew Experience\Chacklists\ folder. Rathat copy one of them (the closest to yours) to \My Documents\ folder, then edit it using Notepad only, NOT Notepad++ or other sophisticated programs that add invisible characters possibly causing Fo not to see the end of the line. In general, It's not a good idea to put 2 different items on the same line as it could be confusing to him. FO will typically look at specific keywords in the left part of the checklist line. If they do make sense to him, he'll ensure they are set as per checklist. For others like GPS, he'll just want you to say the expected answer. Expected answers can be flexible. For instance, if reply says "as required", if you reply "On", he'll ensure it is ON and vice versa. Also "checked", "verified" and other variations are interchangeable. Use our dedicated speech trainer Start->Multi Crew EXperience->Speech training. Cick the <Edit> button to open a text file. Type whatever words you're struggling with and save the file. un custom training and you can train your speech profile to better recognize them. Also, going through the ATC specific training is highly recommended. You get to spell numbers which are used a lot for things like dialling MCP or adios. EDIT: To be able to perform speech training on non-English editions of Windows, you need to temporarily switch regional settings to English-US, perform training, then switch back to whjatever region you were on. This is enforced by Windows. In this case you'd be training the English US speech engine, not the other speech engine that could be associated with your language tailored edition. For instance, Germ,an Windows would have a German speech engine which can only be trained when the user set egional settings to Germany.
