Pre Start

The Pre Start section outlines essential checks and preparations before engine start. Key items include ensuring documents are onboard, completing the takeoff briefing, confirming the gear lever is down, and turning on battery power. Pilots must also check circuit breakers, fuel boost switches, and ignition settings, among other items.

Startup

During the Startup phase, pilots must ensure doors and windows are closed, the seatbelt sign is on, and anti-ice systems are activated as required. The checklist includes specific engine start procedures for both the left and right engines, including monitoring N2 and N1 percentages and verifying ignition settings.

Pre Takeoff

The Pre Takeoff section includes checks such as turning on taxi lights, activating pitot heat, and setting flaps as required. It emphasizes the importance of confirming bleed air settings and ensuring the trim is set for takeoff.

After Takeoff

After Takeoff procedures include retracting the gear, engaging the autopilot, and ensuring climb power is set. Pilots must also monitor oil pressure and fuel boost switches during this phase.

Shutdown

The Shutdown section details the steps for safely shutting down the aircraft after landing. This includes setting the parking brake, turning off the engines, and ensuring all systems are powered down correctly.

Safety notes

  • Ensure all pre-flight checks are completed before engine start.
  • Monitor engine parameters closely during startup and takeoff phases.
