Status update: Ready for Pushback

[ThomasKaira]

Well, I think I've got the ideas behind this plane down now. I can effectively set up AC, I know how to get electrical power to the airplane, I can start the engines, I know how to work the autopilot.

Now, I just need to get the autoflight routines and FFRATS tecniques fine-tuned, and I'll be flying this bird for quite a while.

My first flight is already underway: Toronto to Mexico City (My very first flight to Mexico, BTW).  I'm lovin' this airplane.

Here's to a good landing. [smiley=beer.gif]

Good job!

Oh yes, and fuel management and all those other bells and whistles are working like a charm.

This flight's main purpose is to orientate me to the more complex method of autoflight on this plane, I'm happy that I managed to get to altitude OK, and that the FFRATS is working as intended.

All in all, much easier to learn then those Russian jets.
