You have to turn the packs off for engine start, after you get one engine running you can turn the pack on that side and close the isolation valve and start the other engine if you want to.

Haven't tried a manual reversion on the NGX, I will try it later. I did it a bunch of times on the actual sim and it is HARD!

Yup engine bleeds are left on. Dont worry about the Dual bleed light as it will go away after you start up and get configured for taxi. I believe the restriction with that light is to remain at iddle power so you dont back pressure the APU bleed. For us, the emergency light will be off when we show up to the airplane. Everything else as Andrea said.

You dont have to go to High on the #2 pack, Auto is fine. Also, I only start them like this when it is hot out to cool the passengers down. Otherwise I just turn the packs off, start the engines and congure the bleeds and packs on my before taxi flow.

You are correct ^^^

packs off start them up! flaps 5 taxi checks!

That's a tough question because I am passionate about flying. BUT! I would rather make enough money to own my own jet and fly it around than fly it for living.

Personally I always read back full clearance, " Miami One departure Mnate transition As Filed maintain 5000 expect 260 in 10 departure on 25.5 squack 1234". Say "with you" i.e " songbird 1801 with you out of 10 and a half for two six O direct maxim".. i keep the hand offs short and sweet when there is alot of traffic on freq " tower for 1801, seeyaa!"

:(

Yea, like someone said. They were bought from Alaska and the company doesn't want to pay for the training/certification, etc..

We have some but they are deactivated :( They are Alaska -400's

His technique is definitely not correct, you only need to use enough correction to keep the wings level (not full deflection like this guy is using) and you don't do it from a stop, you start rolling into it as you get closer to rotate and after wheels up as you need it. Specially on a heavy jet. On a light single or twin you might have to hold aileron in on the take off roll depending on how strong the crosswind is.

He just has left aileron in which brings the left outboard spoiler up. Nothing wrong he's just correcting for wind, I do it all the time. The spoilers move with the ailerons to help take load off the wing.

Congrats! I recently started flying 737-300's and 400's for an airline..real fun airplanes to fly. Enjoy.I highly recommend this book for studying systems: http://www.cockpitcompanion.com/servlet/the-4/737-Combo-Cockpit-Companion/Detail

The standard procedure on the 737 is Packs on for take off. I haven't had to do a packs off T/O for performance yet.

I don't even remember what color the lights are on the -400 I fly for living...

Same as a -400, what he said^^

Thanks alot, will do.

Little problem over here. Everything works great except for I have a blank HUD, I flip is down and there isn't anything on the display. I can see through it, just no data. Any ideas? Btw, the NGX is AMAZING! Love this thing, I am addicted!
