Overhead System Configuration Flow

  • Check ENG MASTER 1 & 2 are completely OFF on the lower pedestal.
  • Verify LANDING GEAR LEVER is safely down and locked DOWN.
  • Turn BAT 1 & BAT 2 push buttons to ON. Verify indicator voltage reads > 25.5V.
  • Look for green EXT PWR AVAIL light. Click it to route ground power into aircraft ON / ON LIGHT.
  • Switch all three ADIRS rotary knobs (1, 2, and 3) from OFF to NAV. Wait for the amber alignment indicators to stabilize.

Phase 4: Taxi & Takeoff Prep

Taxiing and Takeoff Configuration Flow

  • Deploy your FLAPS handle to the target position designated by performance sheets (usually Flaps 1 or 2).
  • Manually dial the mechanical wheel to set the aircraft's THS Pitch Trim target angle.
  • Perform full manual sweeping arcs to execute the flight deck Flight Controls Cross-Check.
  • Turn the NOSE LIGHT to TAXI. Switch your runway turnoffs to on.
  • Press the T.O. CONFIG push-button on the center panel to confirm electronic verification states.

Phase 6: Arrival, Approach, & Cold Shutdown

Arrival Configurations to Cold State Flow

  • Input local airport weather data into the MCDU PERF APPR page before hitting descent checkpoints.
  • Set your barometric scales back to local matching QNH values when clearing transition heights.
  • After landing and vacating active lines, clean the wing layout by setting Flaps to 0.
  • Fire up the APU Master & Start systems to ensure standalone electrical supply lines are ready at the gate.
  • Once parked at the gate with ground or APU feeds locked, toggle ENG MASTER 1 & 2 down to OFF.
