systems. Opening the lower display panel feel free to flick through the diagnostic screens on offer. Here you
will find a range of displays including fuel, electrical, air-conditioning and general aircraft status.
This display screen is of critical importance to the Airbus pilot as it is the primary means of confirming that
the aircraft is operating within normal parameters. Any malfunction of aircraft systems will be highlighted
here in diagrammatic form. Having a brand new Airbus A340 at our disposal you will be pleased to hear
that all is well with this particular aircraft!
Opening up the pedestal with the panel switcher icon the keyboard and screen of the flight management
and guidance system (FMGS) becomes available to us. The FMGS is ‘Airbus speak’ for the onboard
navigation and performance computers. Click on the display area of the unit above the keyboard and a
zoomed pop-up version will open. Press the button marked INIT and in the lower right hand corner of the
display a message tells us to ‘align IRS’. This cryptic pearl of wisdom actually refers to the Inertial
Reference System, a series of laser gyroscopes within the body of the aircraft that monitor the position of
the aircraft as a backup to the global positioning system satellite receivers. Press the button marked 6R
immediately to the right of this message and the alignment system is automatically managed for us. If you
are starting to have palpitations and a sense of great dread of the further complexities of the FMGS, you
have already successfully configured it for flight! All other functions have been completely automated for
you by the simulation. Pressing the F-PLAN button will show our flight plan to Dublin that has been
imported from the flight planner tool. You can scroll through the flight plan using the up and down arrow
buttons on the keypad.

Ensure that the parking brakes are set and that the thrust levers (your joystick throttle control) is set to idle.
Open the overhead panel and switch on the rotating beacon to signal to ground staff that we are on the move.
PARKING BRAKES – SET
THRUST LEVERS – IDLE
BEACON - ON
Request taxi clearance from the Flight Simulator ATC. We can expect to be given a departure from runway
09L or 09R. If that is not the case and we have a cantankerous controller do not worry, it will not affect the
tutorial in any way. The ATC system will always see us safely onto our route of flight.
With taxi clearance received, press the SHIFT-P key combination and release the parking brakes and this
behemoth that is the Airbus A340 will slowly start to be pushed away from the gate. A quick peek in spot
view will show the pushback tug attached to the nose of the aircraft.
PARKING BRAKES – RELEASE
Once you are well clear of the terminal with appropriate manoeuvring room, discontinue the pushback with
a further press of SHIFT-P and re-engage the parking brakes ahead of engine start.
PARKING BRAKES – SET
The time has finally come to start the engines. If you prefer you can automate the engine start process by
simply pressing CTRL-E and our virtual First Officer will start all four engines for us. However, for this
tutorial we will demonstrate a full engine start sequence. Open the pedestal with the panel switcher icon
and turn the rotary engine start switch to the rightmost ‘ignition start position’. Above the rotary knob is the
fuel cut-off switch for each of the four engines. We will start the engines in pairs, so engage the fuel flow
to engines 3 and 4 (the rightmost two switches pushed upwards with the mouse to the on position).
Quickly switch to the overhead panel and on the right of the panel are the four overhead engine start
switches. Press the third and the fourth switch to initiate the engine start sequence.
At this point engines 3 and 4 on the right wing should light and burst into life with a satisfying roar. You can
monitor the engine start data on the lower display screen by opening the lower panel and pressing the ENG
button to display engine diagnostics. Once these two engines have stabilised simply repeat the process
with engines 1 and 2 on the left (or port if you are in a nautical frame of mind) wing.

Moving to the autopilot deck on the main panel glareshield go right ahead and enter V2 into the speed
window. The knob for rotating the digits is directly beneath the window. Moving the mouse to the right of
the knob will display a + symbol signifying that mouse clicks will now increase the speed. For the initial
phase of the flight it is desirable to have V2 in this window as a reference.
The next window to the right is the heading window. With no weather being simulated we can expect ATC
to give us a departure from runway 9L or 9R at London Heathrow so go ahead and dial in the runway
