Falcon 4:AF Checklist

[Specter]

Rudel,

Here's a webpage I found that has pretty good checklist downloads for F4.

If you can tell me where the engine fails to start I can help you. After a quick look the only thing that caught my eye was Step 3 of the engine start. When it says advance to IDLE it really means put the throttle lever at about 50%. After you hit the idle detent (where your pinkie would be on the throttle) then you pull the throttle all the way back.

After download a ramp start guide, i finally got the engine to start up properly. What i was doing wrong is i was not setting the ELEC MAIN PWR switch to on( i had to click on it twice to get it working properly).

Now that i got that working, i need a guide on how to taxi, takeoff and land properly.( do you have any?.

The main Check Lists Volume on the site I put in the first post has all that information.

What I do for landing is put the velocity indicator on the threshold and play with the throttle till I get a 3 deg glide slope and and 12ish AoA. Glide slope is where the vel indicator is in relation to the pitch ladder. AoA is another ladder on the left hand side of the HUD. Don't worry so much about airspeed, if you maintain glide slope and AoA it will take care of it.

Right before touch down I flare by pulling the vel indicator on the opposite threshold and let the jet settle. The landings are kind of canned so if you don't hit the Angle of Attack and sink rate, you break your jet.
