Boeing 767 flight deck internal electrical, hydraulics and engine start procedure

The following tutorial gives an overview of the basics of starting up a simulated test platform FS9 Boeing 767-300ER with GE CF6-80C2 engines from the cold and dark. We'll follow the checklists but will assume the aircraft is operating at peak with no faults. In addition the FMC and all other flight management systems would have been programmed and checked before engine start. To the pilot this aspect of flight is very technical and deserves careful consideration to the design of the aircraft model. Basic knowledge of the very complex aircraft systems, in this case the 767-300 is crucial to a good flight. So, we came up with a flight deck/engine start procedure that you can follow through with. Theses steps are meant to be performed in a matter of seconds and minutes - there's no time or power to waste! Let's begin...

1.) Deselct Electrical Ext. power

2.) Batt On - ( fig 1 )

a.) APU start (if desired) toggle

3.) Toggle STBY POWER to Auto - ( fig 2 )



4.) APU GEN BR press ( fig 3 )

5.) BUS TIE press - ( fig 3 )

6.) Utility BUS L/R press - ( fig 3 )

7.) L/R GEN CONT press - ( fig 3 )



8.) HYD PUMP L ENG press (fig 4)

9.) HYD PUMP R ENG press (fig 4)

10.) 1-ELEC-2 press (fig 4)



11.) Toggle DEMAND to ON-ON-ON (fig 4)

12.) Toggle APU SELECTOR to START - run indicator

13.) Wait 10-15 secs - systems will power on(fig 5)

14.) Toggle the HYD PUMPS/ELEC AUTO-AUTO-AUTO ( fig 6)

15.) L ENG Primary ( fig 6)

16.) RECIRC AIR FAN L/R press

a.) AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM set - note it was on auto from the beginning(passenger comfort)

17.) TRIM AIR press (fig 7)

18.) PRESSURE L/R ENG and center press(fig 7)

19.) ENGINE L press (fig 8)

20.) FUEL PUMPS L press (fig 8) if left or both engine start the ALL

a.) ENG START switch to 1 (fig 9)

21.) Toggle L ENG AUTO GND (fig 9)



20.) AT 20% set fuel RUN(fig 10)


21.) L ENG start verify N2 increasing N1

22.) Repeat procedure for R ENG (fig 11)



23.) R ENG Start verify N2 increasing N1



24.) L/R PACK AUTO(fig10)

25.) WING/ENGINE ANTI-ICE press(fig 14)

26.) YAW DAMPER L/R press

26.) COLLISION STROBE/TAXI/LL press

27.) APU SELECTOR (if desired) - run (fig 14)

Now you should have both engines running with no warnings. Notice above we are introduced to the takeoff portion of the Flight Management Computer. The procedure for the FMC would have been completed before engine start. Essentially when you start burning fuel you will be ready to roll.
