Normal flight sequence

Use the installed FSS normal checklist for the exact switch sequence.

Power and setup. Establish electrical power, prepare the cockpit and check the displays. Set radios, barometric reference and initial altitude. Load and verify the route and performance as described on the previous page.

Before start. Check the clearance, doors and ground equipment. Set the beacon and seat-belt signs as appropriate. Follow the FSS start procedure and monitor engine indications throughout.

After start. Verify electrical power transfer and required pumps, configure flaps and trim, and check flight controls. Set up the guidance for the departure and read the FMA. Before moving, check the taxi route and brakes.

Use the FSS T/O CONFIG check and resolve any warning. Check the actual flap position and trim indication against the planned settings. The green band does not replace the calculated trim setting.

Taxi at a speed appropriate to the surface and turn. FSS calls for at least two minutes at or near idle before high thrust; taxi time at or near idle counts toward this warm-up. FSS procedure guide ^[9].
