Austrian virtual Fokker Checklist Description 1

REV 14.03.2014 FOR FLIGHT SIMULATOR ONLY! © Dietmar Walch

Fokker 70 & 100

Checklist Description

Austrian virtual operated by Tyrolean

Issue 1



0.1 General information to use the “Austrian virtual Fokker Checklist”.

This checklist is a combination of the real world checklist and simulation requirements. Not

required items for flight simulation are cancelled. The main purpose of the checklist

description is to establish and explain the action or action to be taken in connection with

each item on the Fokker checklist. It´s not a “to do list”! Depending on different start up user

settings, refer to the DA Fokker AOM for correct system operation. Therefore the “power-

up” procedure is not part of the checklist. The “Austrian virtual Fokker Checklist” should be

used for flight simulation only!

0.2 Perform following scan flow to check the cockpit systems:

1. DA Fokker Side panel (Door & Ext. Power connection)

2. Overhead Panel (from left lower to right upper side)

3. Glareshield Panel (from left to right)

4. Main Instrument Panel (from left to right)
