Anything that you are not familiar with is going to look complicated until you actually study the ins and outs of how it works and how to operate it, nothing is truly difficult.

After hundreds of hours in 737 it becomes familiar, but that sure is a busy process

[@GodzilarOG7337]

Flow and checklists are a little bit strange compared to what I am used too. Also keep in mind the flight deck safety inspection and preliminary flight deck procedures requires you to OVHT/FIRE test the APU before turning it on.

[@justing42]

Nobody does that…ever

[@pedrochicon8542]

@@justing42 Yet it must be done, that's why it's a safety check. How you're gonna know if the APU's fire detection is working if you did not tested them? A better question yet: how you gonna know the APU is on fire if the system is off/fault and you didn't checked it? And for people who don't give a F* to safety procedures (that also cannot call themselves a real pilot) ... If the airline company learns that you're skipping safety procedures you can be dismissed with just cause.

[@christophervenn7915]

Never checked fire bottle squib lights, also keep hand on fuel start switch in case of hot starts or other problems

[@PaulCareyaviation]

Always set the parking brake before starting engines. Never take your hand away from the start levers when starting an engine. Before engine start, select either left or right igniters.

[@speedbird9313]

And fire tests🤷🏻‍♂️

[@justing42]

The igniters switch automatically every start

As a ramp agent engine start is performed while doing the push back. After pushback set parking brake to remove tow bar.

[@tomg6284]

Always, hot starts happen and it can cost big $$$$$$..

[@DigitalAndInnovation]

I never knew / realized some of the knobs had actuators to automatically shut off. That's pretty cool- better than some indicator light that you could miss- that audible click and then the position of the actual nob really clearly indicates its status!

[@Micg51]

Not sure if it does this on the 737, but the E170/190 automatically clicks off the autobrakes from RTO to off once weight off wheels on takeoff

On the 737, only the ENG Start has it, I believe

Hydrualic pressure is not checked per say, it will give an announciation if the pressure is low.

[@GodzilarOG7337]

Yes the stinger needs to be yanked out during normal engine start however the parking brake doesn't always need to be set. As a matter of fact if your not on a remote stand you would start 2 and 1 in sequence during the pushback. Hydraulics are checked during the safety inspection and preliminary F/D procedure and those values are usually written in the tech log.

Could be their transition altitude on the departure plate...... which is unlikely. It’s more reasonable to assume that was the last setting from the previous flight.

Can you please review for yourself how the IRS works!

Well on X-plane 11 Zebo the IRS has to be on off then on align. Then setup the FMC and place IRS location in scratch pad then go to IRS knob and move switches to NAV. Then select the boxes to place location in. If not, than you will get a buzzing sound. Also selecting the yaw switch too early will disengage it and you will have to reset it.

[@piotrkuler2474]

nope You put then to nav straight away, you can put cords, at whavmtever Point. Buzzing sound just means that battery is on discharge.

[@AudioNaut93]

I work heavy maintenance on 737’s and I know for a fact they didn’t even do the apu startup procedure correctly for example 1. You’re supposed to do the engine/apu fire control panel test before you start it, 2. You’re supposed to put one of the apu generator switches online before you start so that you get an indication on the overhead electrical panel for Hz & voltage so that you know the startup was satisfactory and 3, you shouldn’t turn the recirc fans & packs on before you supply bleed air from the apu like c’mon guys. Clearly your checklists and procedures are drastically different from ours.
