Thanks Rah,Yeah, this isn't simply a normal flight procedures checklist as it includes some emergency procedures as well as pre-flight and post-flight operations. I did remove some mind you, for example the section on ditching in water, however I decided to leave much of it that is clearly overkill in the sim for those sim tech-weenies out there. . . like me.S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO

What about the Carburetor Suspension System or the Helical Castrated Nut? And on some models you need to worry about Cockpit Body Position Capacitor and the Bird Avoidance Half Shaft.S~TX-FlightRisk Black 7"If my plane is smoking it can mean one thing...I have been hit in one of my ass cheeks and I am cauterizing my wound....."
