Controlling the Auto mode
As mentioned in the topic covering checklist modes, you can control
how the checklists will be timed in the Auto mode. The timing
settings are available only when you have selected the Auto option.
The table below summarizes how and when the various checklists
are started in the Auto mode.

Ctrl-Space.
Before Pushback You must manually start the checklist by hitting

Before takeoff The checklist is run after the aircraft has stopped
after taxiing. Specify a time delay in seconds.
After takeoff The checklist is run after a given altitude or after a
given time delay, depending on which of the two
occurred last.
As an example, assume that you enter an altitude
of 3000 ft and a time delay of 60 seconds. If you
reach 3000 ft in 30 seconds, you must wait
another 30 seconds for the checklist to start.
However, if you reach 3000 ft in 90 seconds, the
checklist will start as soon as this altitude is reached.

a given altitude.
