Project Tupolev Tu154M Startup Tutorial Part 3
This is Part 3 of a 4 part series for flying the Project Tupolev Tu154M Aircraft for Flight Simulator FS2004. Especially designed for pilots who have no knowledge of Russian language or flight operations, and a reasonable understanding of "Western" Boeing style aircraft in Flight Simulator, wishing to fly the Tupolev Tu154 on Vatsim. It is meant as a quick guide to get you flying routes with the aircraft without being frustrated by hours of not being able to operate simple systems like the GPS navigation system, autopilot, and steps through a takeoff from cold and dark, right up to inserting the STAR before decent into your destination. It is not a replacement to the Manual, but can be a bit of a boost to get you in a position to absorb more advanced aspects than simply starting the engines up (which is quite envolved). The next parts will be posted as I create them over the coming weeks. Part III 1: Introduction and Title (Music of 2nd movement of Shostakovich Piano Concerto 1 op35 myself playing my own transcription) 2:Securing the Engine Starter and air bleed 3: Disconnect APU's air bleed in preperation for pressurization running off the engine packs. 4: Switching on the Electricity Generators to Engine power and ensuring voltage from the engine generator. 5: Switching off APU/BCY 6: Connecting Pressurization to Engine powered packs. 7: Setting pressurization up for departure and climb. 8: Turning on Hydraulics 9: Overhead panel, and turning on avionics and instruments. 10: Alligning Gyroscopes 11: tests and autopilot and flight director initialization
