Auto 1 and Auto 2
If you select one of the Auto mode, the checklist will be locked to
the flight phases in FDC. The checklists will be played a short time
after the flight phase has been activated, except for the checklists at
the gate (explained below). When in the Auto modes, the checklists
will be started automatically. However, the execution of the checklist
differs between the two. If you use Auto 1 the checklists will play
automatically. The only interaction you have to do is to resume the
checklist again (by hitting Ctrl-Spacebar) when you have received a
negative checklist response. If you use Auto 2 the checklist will stop
after each checklist is made. You will then have the chance to check
the item, and correct it. When you’re happy with the item, you hit
Spacebar to hear FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 call out the response, and
then make the next checklist call. Thus, FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 will
automatically progress through the checklist if you select the Auto 1
mode, while you must manually progress through it if you select the
Auto 2 mode.
As mentioned above, you must manually control the checklists at the
gate. Before you start, you should start the crew briefing by hitting
Ctrl-Space. The captain will instruct the cockpit crew of how to
respond to failures during takeoff. The first checklist is the Pre-start
checklist, and you start it by hitting Ctrl-Space once again. If you
receive a negative response, you must correct the item, and then hit
Ctrl- Space to recall the item once again. Once the Pre-start checklist
is complete, you can advance through the Before push-back and
Before start-up checklists in the same way. The rest of the checklists
will be timed according to the parameters entered in the Select
Aircraft Panel in FDC Live Cockpit! 2011, starting with the After
start-up checklist, which will be started when the specified time
interval has elapsed after you have started your engines.
Note! You can start the next checklist by hitting Ctrl-Spacebar and
restart the last checklist by hitting Ctrl-Shift-Spacebar. When a
checklist is played, it will not be be played again (even when the
triggering condition is met).
