REL Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Hey ED guys Can you guys make the ladder extended when first entering the cockpit? That way we will have to remember to ask the chief to close it before taxi so we can fully use this feature! Thanks :thumbup:
Frostiken Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) Because that's not realistic. The process is as follows - - External -21 covers are removed. - Cockpit is prepared, all pins removed and stowed. - Aircrew arrives, checks forms, performs walkaround check. - Aircrew in seat, crew chief delivers helmet and bags. - Crew chiefs may help pilot strap in, but waits for 'okay' from pilot. - Canopy strut removed, if applicable. - Ladders stowed. Grounding cord removed. - Aircraft powerup and preflight checks. - Ground communications terminated, crew chief waits in front of jet. - Chocks out, crew chief directs you to taxiway. - Aircraft taxis to EOR. - Arming pins removed at EOR and final check. (except for last week when EOR missed a gear pin that was left in... :D That was a quick flight abort!) You really wouldn't have to tell the crew chief to stow the ladder because he'd do it on his own once he's done with you in the cockpit. Edited December 12, 2011 by Frostiken [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
