Crucial element missed (or not obvious):  Who did the tutorial?  Somebody or "Simviation Support Staff"?

:)

Heck, it looks like even I can understand it!

Hi, Don't take off with Autopilot.

Take off manually, 180kts should be a good speed to rotate (take off) - gentle & steady climb making sure your speed doesn't drop off (it shouldn't in a 737)

Set autopilot when you are established in a good climb pattern after flaps up. 8000ft wouldn't be a bad time to set AP.

Hope this helps.

Sorry Pete, I didn't check the date, and navigation to me is if you're not sure where you are then pop down and read the road signs!
