Project Tupolev Tu154M Start & Takeoff Tutorial Part 4

This is Part 4 of a 4 part series for flying the Project Tupolev Tu154M Aircraft for Flight Simulator FS2004. Especially designed for pilots who have no knowledge of Russian language or flight operations, and a reasonable understanding of "Western" Boeing style aircraft in Flight Simulator, wishing to fly the Tupolev Tu154 on Vatsim. It is meant as a quick guide to get you flying routes with the aircraft without being frustrated by hours of not being able to operate simple systems like the GPS navigation system, autopilot, and steps through a takeoff from cold and dark, right up to inserting the STAR before decent into your destination. It is not a replacement to the Manual, but can be a bit of a boost to get you in a position to absorb more advanced aspects than simply starting the engines up (which is quite envolved).
I may continue this series with a small rundown on enroute, decent and landing basics.

Part IV

1: Introduction

2: Flaps and Trim setting for takeoff.

3: Autopilot preflight test.

4: Altimeters (Setting QNE/QFE and switching between Feet and Metres on the primary altimeter) and altitude presets.

5: Takeoff

6: Using HBY to fly the SID with the Flight Director.

7: Engaging Autopilot and V mode for climbing at a set speed.

8: rundown on autopilot buttons and their modes.

9: maintaining altitude for cruise etc.

10: Autothrottle use

so can you take off with any plane at any airport

[musicalaviator]

@thejoeymoey123 is that a challenge? or a question about how many airports and aircraft are in Flightsim? :P I'd suspect the ability to get an A380 out of a tiny bush airstrip made of gravel and 30 feet wide may be... not possible.

This is a great video and it has thought me how to fly the flight sim version of the tu154.

[musicalaviator]

Autothrottle is supposed to be only used during approaches,according to manual ;)

[kleinmartenFun]

I done all to start. I came to that point the engines are running and instruments are set. But how do I unlock the throttle controls. Please Help Me.

Thanks ;)

yeah i heard you dont extend the flaps before taxi. Only on the runway.

[musicalaviator]

@Gr3g251 Trim buttons as standard. What you set up in Part 1 for trim. Or Numpad 7/1

Fantastic Tutorials ! Many thanks. PT TU-154 for sure is one of the most advanced and complex FS add-on plane. The great part is that it is free ! Would love to see some ILS approach videos as well !! Cheers
