IMHO, Training Start Up mission is not quite complete.

There are few details that are skipped during start up training mission, that should be there.

1.Selecting power source for Altimeter to ELEC and dialing in QFE. Altimeter is completely skipped. Yet it is an important instrument and should be covered by start procedure.

2. Anti-Collision , wing, and fuselage lighting settings should be part of start up and shut down procedure.

3. MIDS setting is not covered.

4. IFF panel is not covered.

5. KY-58 krypto-radio is not covered. Turn ON or leave OFF ?

6 Left side panel UHF radio is not covered.  In A-10C & CII UHF radio setup is part of start up.

7. Left Front panel Stores Config Cat 1 or Cat III switch is not covered. 

6. Although its obvious, "Arming Ejection Seat" lever should be one of start items. Probably last before taxi.

8. The enigmatic Max Power switch is not covered.

9. Left side Communications vol and settings dials should be covered, even if they are obvious.

10. Brake channels and Parking/Skid Brake switches are not covered.

I think this is meant to be posted in the F-16 forum section?

Def F-16, not 18, lol... and more than a few of these are parts of the F-16 which aren't finished yet. Still EA,

True. But my list of missing instruction steps are all on currently implemented features.

Most obvious is skipping of QFE altimeter setting.

@BIGNEWYor @NineLine - you want to slide this thread on over to the Viper forum, it's in the wrong place and probably not getting the OP the proper feedback from targeting pilot audience.
