First look at starting the FSS Boeing 727F from cold and dark in Microsoft Flight Simulator

After spending the last 24 hours learning about the wonderful new Boeing 727 in Microsoft Flight Simulator from FlightSim Studios, here's a first look at starting the Boeing 737F from cold and dark, programming our initial position into the CIV-A INS flight computer, and taking basic control of the aircraft through the heading and climb modes in the autopilot. I will return soon to show far more about navigation.

It's worth pointing out that I am following a FUNCTIONAL procedure to start the 727 from cold and dark - that doesn't include the tests you would expect to succeed. You can obviously embelish the steps I take to include all sorts of test as you want to.

It's also worth noting that I'm still learning too :)

You can download the first draft of the check-list and CIV-A INS calculator spreadsheet from here:
