What do yall do before pushback. NOT push and start just pushback

2

Verify fuel, insert my flight plan, turn on the apu and battery if available.

If i’m flying super realistic, i open APU leave it running for a couple of mins to get air con in. Then open doors (if available). Passenger and Smoking signals on. Let the doors stay open for 25/30 mins. Close doors and insert FPL, i always include SID/STAR in all my routings, i re-check for any silly or sharp waypoints.

Yuh, i let device run and just watch netflix for the time being lmao. But i rarely do these type of flights, only on a long long haul or occasional. Normally i just leave doors open for 5 and do what i said above and i should be airborne within 15 of me spawning in

Right, so these are my routines:

SUPER REALISTIC

  • Master Battery on, APU start
  • Nav lights on
  • No Smoking on
  • Open doors 1L (pax), 4/5R (catering) and cargo
  • Check fuel
  • File my FPL (SID’s and STARs always used)
  • Close cargo and catering doors
  • Request Pushback
  • Close door 1L
  • Beacon lights on
  • Seatbelt sign on
  • Pushback, start engine 2/3&4
  • At the end of pushback, start engine 1/1&2
  • Set flaps
  • Turn off APU
  • Request taxi and then taxi

I wrote this in the exact order that I usually do it, like I request pushback just after I file my FPL and close my cargo and catering doors, and just before closing door 1L and turning on my beacon lights

NOT REALISTIC

  • Auto start, APU off
  • Seatbelt sign and no smoking on
  • Request pushback, and during pushback set flaps
  • TAXI

Cool but i put on beacon from the start and nav lights indicates engine on right?

I enjoy energized flights, so the one routine I stick to before each and every flight and encourage everyone else to try is 4 scoops of G Fuel, no water or mixing, straight down the hatch. It really enhances your mental “thrust”.

I put them on at the same time, just before I start my engines
But you’re probably right, maybe I should put on my beacon from the start

it’s the opposite

nav lights should be on from start and beacon indicates engines are on/aircraft is about to move
