Once the Falcon is unpacked you will be introduced with:

The aircraft itself (Falcon 7x ver.)

A LITE version which is a plane without the kelly GPS

The aircraft HUD (Falcon 7x HUD ver.)

Flight Manual

Flight Checklist

Aircraft CPAT

Some quick stats and tips:

Take of speed: 120 Kts

Climb speed: 170-200 Kts

Cruise speed: 200-220 Kts

Landing speed: 115-130 Kts

think of your pitch as your airspeed control and your throttle as your altitude control.

If you'd like to climb, throttle to 100% then pull back on your controls to maintain 200 kts. you'll find that the plane will climb however, the rate or speed that you climb will depend on your pitch. 

the same applies for decent. 

Compensate for drag when extending flaps and gear. the plane WILL slow down substantially. its not uncommon to push to 80% throttle to keep the aircraft level in a dirty configuration (flaps and gear down)

This plane is capable of going fast. like. really fast! but just because you can doesnt mean that you should! watch your airspeed at all times and maintain a safe cruise speed. Use the autopitch hold (on by default) for steady, slow flights!

Send Kyo Cipher (kev barony) a message if you still need assistance!

THE HUD

The Hud

Lets start fresh, First off the HUD! While sitting in the aircraft pilots seat, say "HUD" in order to receive the pilot hude. note that we will be going in order for operation as if we were following the checklist for the sake of simplicity. If you JUST need the checklist and nothing else, feel free to skip ahead

Falcon 7x Hud.png

There is alot to play around with here but we are going to break down everything and explain how it all works.

Hudbreakdown2.png

The bottom most point are toggles to bring up different sub menu's with the green arrow signifying that the sub menu is being displayed

Power Panel: Hosts the GPU, APU, Quick start and Battery Buttons

Engines Panel: Hosts the starter switches for engines one, two and three

Lighting Panel: Hosts the lights both internal and external for the aircraft

Systems Panel: Hosts the Hud, AutoPilot, Throttle and GPS display's 

Camera Panel: Hosts all possible camera angles

Aircraft Settings: Hosts general aircraft functions and settings

Sensitivity Panel: hosts the Sensitivity and Trim controls

hudbreakdown4.png

Next, we have

The HUD: All the flight information you'll ever need

AutoPilot Panel: So you can let the plane fly itself

Throttle Panel: Hosting the Gear, Parking break, Tug, Reverse Thrust, Flaps and spoilers

GPS Panel: Kelly's GPS system

POWER

Power
Powerfinal.png

So now lets go over individual functions starting with the POWER panel

There is a flow for each panel, in this case we start from bottom to top

Batt: Toggles battery power which allows aircraft systems and panels to come alive.

Q/Start: This is your quick start/stop function. The falcon is capable of doing the start up sequence for you leaving you ready to taxi immediately. This also functions as a quick stop, shutting down engines for you. This button is optional. If you'd like to perform the startup yourself, skip over this button

APU: This is your auxiliary power unit. This is essentially a power generator built into the aircraft that also provides bleed air to start your aircraft. Without this, the engines cannot start.

Rez GPU: GPU=Ground Power Unit. Don't want to wait for your APU to spool up? This will rez a power generator that works much like the APU but externally. With this you can also start the engines since it provides its own bleed air.

ENGINES

Engines
Engines1.png

Next up, the ENGINE panel. Here you will be able to start your engines. So long as your battery and your APU or GPU is on you will be able to click in here

Eng 1: Will start your left engine

Eng 2: Will start your center engine and ptu (power transfer unit: A system that transfers hydraulic power from one system to another in the event of a failure)

Eng 3: Will start your right engine

You do not have to wait for any one engine to start before starting the other 

Lighting

Lighting
Lighting1.png

Now lets talk about other pilots seeing you... The LIGHTING panel! If you want to learn more about aircraft lighting, reference: 14 CRF Section 91.209 There you will see what the FAA rules for the united states are for aircraft lighting, however! listed in the above image is just a basic idea of how it works. These lights are meant for other pilots and have their purposes as such. Follow it as you see fit or don't. This is only second life after all.

Beacon: This turns on your beacon strobes. This light comes on when your battery comes on letting others around you know that your aircraft is active.

Nav: These are the Red (left wing) Green (Right wing) and White (Rear of aircraft) lights that are designed to let others know what direction you are facing in relation to them. 

Strobe: These flashing strobes on the wingtip and rear are just that, strobe lights to help others find and see you.

Taxi: This serves two purposes. To help you as the pilot see in front of you on the ground and to let others around you know that you are intending to or are already performing ground operations

Landing Lights: Once you're on the runway with the intention (and clearance) to take off, turn on your landing lights to let everyone else know. once in the air they are recommended to stay on until at or above 10,000 feet (in SL id like to consider that to be 100 meters but your preferences may be different.) use the solid lights for night operations to help you see. and the strobing lights as a means to be easily seen by others during the day while taking off, landing or flying below cruise

Panel Lights: These illuminate just the panel to help see your instruments during night ops

Cockpit Lights: This is a dome light that illuminates all of the cockpit

Passenger Lights: This lights up the entire passenger cabin

SYSTEMS

HUD

Systems hud
Hud.png

Now that our engines are on, our lights are good, its time to get flying! So we Click the SYSTEMS panel and we are going to need our HUD for reference while flying!

VERY BASICALLY this is how it all works

Airplane Wings: That is you. those are your wings and the orientation the are in reference to the HORIZON

Horizon: The earths horizon. Down is the ground, Up is the sky. You will see the exact pitch in degrees your aircraft is in along with bank angle, especially useful when flying in IFR conditions

Flight Path Vector indicator: The airplane wings are where you are. the flight path vector indicator is where you are going to be if you do not add any control input. 

Airspeed: This is how fast you are going in knots

Altitude: This is how high you are off the ground from sea level

Vertical speed indicator: This tells you if you are climbing or descending and at what rate.

Compass: This displays aircraft heading.

AUTOPILOT

AutoPilot
autopilot1.png

So at this point we would be airborne, starting our procedures en route to our destination. We can make our lives easier by letting the aircraft fly for us! 

In order to do this you must first set perimeters.

What heading do you want the aircraft to fly? Set that manually using the up or down arrows directly under "HDG" or use the compass window by simply clicking on the heading you want to go.

What speed do you want to fly? Set the airspeed you want the aircraft to hold using the arrows here.

What altitude do you want to fly? Set the altitude you want the aircraft to reach and maintain using the arrows here.

Next, Click on Hdg, Spd or altitude depending on which perimeters you want the aircraft to hold. 

After that, click AP. This will activate autopilot! Let go of the controls and let the plane fly. You can adjust heading, speed and altitude in real time and the plane will adjust for you. 

When its time to take control again, simply press AP again and press SPD to turn off auto throttle.

AutoPilot Chat commands and instructions Simplified:

Set airspeed: "Spd ###"

example:

Spd190

this will set your speed hold to 190Kts

Set altitude: "Alt####"

example:

alt300

this will set your altitude hold to 300

Set your heading: "hdg###"

example:

hdg270

this will set your heading hold to 270

THE PLANE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU ACTIVATE AUTOPILOT SYSTEMS AS FOLLOWS:

"ah" Will activate altitude hold

"hh" Will activate heading hold

"ap" Will activate autopilot master. SO LONG AS Altitude hold and Heading hold are active and you turn on the autopilot master, the plane WILL fly itself from here on out.

"apt" will activate autothrottle which is independent from autopilot! this will stay on regardless if ap master if on or off and will maintain set airspeed

THROTTLE

Throttle
ThrottlesHUd.png

We need to lift our gear! we need to release the parking break! what do we do!

All motion controls are left in the THROTTLE Panel

From top to bottom:

Landing Gear button: Lifts and drops your gear

Parking Break: Set when stopped preventing the aircraft from moving 

Tug Bot: This is your pushback tool. This will Rez the TUG BOT as shown above. once rezzed, Click on the TUG BOT. You will get a menu as shown above. Select START, Release your parking brake and then select Auto Pushback which will push your plane back for you, or use the arrow keys to control the tug yourself. Once done, click the tug bot again, select stop, then delete.

Reverse Thrust: this manually enables reverse thrust on touchdown if it hasn't automatically engaged. Some of you may use it as a way to back your aircraft up and while the falcon is simply not capable of providing reverse thrust in real life, we did give you the ability to do so here on sl. 

Throttles: You have three engines therefor you get three levers. Use PGUP or PGDN in order to adjust throttles together, however if for whatever reason you want to control an engine individually simply click over the desired setting for the desired lever

AirBrakes: Manually deploy's airbrakes. Note that on the falcon they spoil the air over the wing causing a loss in lift. They should also extend automatically on touch down.

Flaps: Set your flaps using this lever. simply click down over the setting you'd like.

SHERGOOD GPS

Shergoo GPS
GPS 1.png

Alright so now we get to navigating our grid. This portion will cover the instruments both inside the aircraft and on the hud since they are exactly the same. You will be greeted with the window on the left. Click on the ACTIVATE button to get the shergood gps online.

GPS 2.png

You'll be greeted with this screen. Where going to break this all down best we can but, in summery. Red airplanes are other aircraft. Yours is green. 

Airports are the blue circles with the white lines through them

and navigation points are triangles.

Click here for the live GPS radar page.

Starting front top to bottom, Left to right:

IDENT: Means it is currently making your radar blip enhanced

XPDR 1200 ALT: this is your current transponder setting: 1200 alt: Alt is altitude encoding

So others can see your location AND altitude

XPDR: Allows you to set your transponder code

FPL: Allows you to set up a flight plan

Des: Allows you to set up your "Designation": Flight number, Plane type (name) etc.

 

Back: Jumps back to the main window

VFR: Snaps to 1200

0-9: lets you select your code

CRL: Clears the selection

No alt: Makes it so your transponder just shows position no altitude

Alt: makes it so your transponder shows both your position and altitude

Overlays come as pretty self-explanatory

Checking an options allows you to show statuses on the GPS windows

GPS 6.png

Flight designation allows you to set your aircraft:

Type: Type of model

Tail#: your N number as it appears on your tail

Flight #: for role-play and airline flights

And your pilot

GPS9.png
GPS7.png
GPS8.png

This is your flight plan window

Simply it already sets your point of origin

You are to set your destination and waypoints if you’d like then hit activate to make it active.

When you arrive at your destination, close your flight plan so it resets

As a flight plan is set you will get your Ground speed, Distance to target

And estimated time till arrival

POPUP menu brings up aircraft settings (Discussed below)

LOCK SEATS menu makes it so that people cannot sit on the aircraft unless they have done so before setting a lock

AUTO TRIM The aircraft has a fly-by-wire system built in helping maintain a pitch. If you'd like to turn that system off you would click there

SAFE MODE: If you do not want ground or water crashing effects you can turn this on otherwise turn it off for the crash effects

FUEL SYSTEM: Airplanes burn fuel! You want that to be simulated? turn this on! you'll get fuel quantity on the right of the menu

HOVER TEXT: Brings up hover text on the rear of the aircraft so that you don't need to wear a hud for flight

GUEST MODE: Allows anyone to sit and fly the aircraft from the pilots seat

REPAIR PLANE: did you crash? Well. simply click this button. it should fix your airplane leaving it ready to fly again

SETTINGS2.png

POPUP MENU:

Edit On: If you would like to modify your aircraft and add or remove mesh from it this button will set all the scripts to NOT RUNNING. That way you can make the modifications you want without the aircraft destroying your hard work when you try to fly it!

When you finish editing your aircraft, click it again to activate scripts once more.

TAIL NUMBER: Set your tail number to whatever you want! You're limited to 0-9 and A-Z

OPTIMIZE: Kelly's GPS is a little hard on sim crossing at times. Click this button to have the option to remove kelly's scripts from your aircraft. You should have gotten that option upon first rez too

CANCEL: closes the popup

PAINTS: Change between 6 different liveries

DISPLAY MODE: The scripts are turned off in order to leave the aircraft parked without introducing lag to the sim

TOGGLE SHADOW: This plane comes with a dynamic shadow that actually sticks to the ground rather than being stuck to the airplane and looking weird! click here to toggle it

Settings3.png

SEAT LOCK MENU

COPILOT: Makes it so no one can sit in the copilots seat. Cabin seats are left unaffected

ALL CABIN: Makes it so no one can sit in the passenger seats. COPILOT SEAT is left unaffected

TCAS/SENSITIVITY 

Tcas sens
TRIMTCAS.png

Next we get the far right mini panel.

TCAS: Is your traffic collision avoidance system which tells you if you are about to crash into another airplane

TRIM/SENSITIVITY:

Your trim allows you to hold back pressure on a particular input. with the controls arrows on the left you can trim your aircraft to pitch, roll and yaw. 

PITCH TRIM: Green numbers mean you are trimming down, Blue means you are trimming up

ROLL TRIM & YAW TRIM : Red numbers mean you are trimming left, Green means you are trimming right (Wing tip lights)

SENSITIVITY: Unfortunately SL does not support joysticks but if you want to control how much of an input you give, adjust your sensitivity. Higher sens. is a snappier feeling, lower is more sluggish.

Weather

Weather
Weather 2.png

Lastly, We have our weather button. Flying with realistic physics is fun and all but there's just one thing missing... Lets throw a thunderstorm in the mix!

On the hud, if you click this button you will be greeted with the Weather Popup window.

Weather 3.png

So from left to right, top to bottom

SL WIND: Set the preset to just Secondlife wind speed and direction.

CUSTOM: Here you can set your own turbulence, wind speed and direction with no limitations (Have fun!)

Cancel: Simply closes this window

Wx ON: This is the master switch for this system. Turn this on to get weather effects on the aircraft physics

Wx OFF: This turns off the weather effects

Weather Presets: This has a list of preset weather conditions from clear skies to thunderstorms. an easy setup.

THE COCKPIT

The cockpit
Screenshot_1.jpg

Welcome to your new office, let me show you around. Very basically the Pilot or Captain is sitting on the left with priorities given to that avatar. The Copilot or First Officer 

sits on the right. They do not have the direct ability to fly the airplane until the pilot gives them controls. However, they CAN manage systems. Toggle engines, lights, ect.

THE OVERHEAD PANEL

Overhead
Screenshot_2.jpg

The Falcon 7x is almost completely computer controlled. Sure Fly-by-wire takes care of the flying but the advanced computers of the falcon take care of generators, hydraulics

EVERYTHING! Thats great for your as a pilot becouse just as in real life the checklist to start is very simple:

 

BATTERY: ON (Click the red battery switches)

 

APU: ON (Click on APU Master)

 

Lights: Refer to the LIGHTING sub section of HUD above for more information or the checklist down bellow

 

All other systems are handled automatically which leaves you as the pilot without the responsibility. You do get fire suppression control in-case an engine catches fire

(Manually triggered) 

THE CENTER PANEL

Center
Screenshot_4.jpg

Next after the battery and APU we make our way down to the center console.

The fuel flow switches control just that. However when flipping them on the Aircraft automatically starts the start up procedure.

After that all three engines should be running and you should be ready to go! 

Airbrakes, Flaps and trim controls are lower and your throttles are there to show you roughly your power setting.

THE MFD

MFD
Screenshot_5.jpg

The MFD is what you're going to be staring at most of the time aside from the hud. In the Image I have listed some of the common functions of the display This display

will also host your AUTOPILOT settings in PURPLE

AUTOPILOT PANEL

Autopanel
Screenshot_3.jpg

The same functions found on the HUD can be found here on the autopilot panel. Buttons can be clicked in the cockpit like the battery and apu can

AutoPilot Chat commands and instructions:

Set airspeed: "Spd ###"

example:

Spd190

this will set your speed hold to 190Kts

Set altitude: "Alt####"

example:

alt300

this will set your altitude hold to 300

Set your heading: "hdg###"

example:

hdg270

this will set your heading hold to 270

THE PLANE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU ACTIVATE AUTOPILOT SYSTEMS AS FOLLOWS:

"ah" Will activate altitude hold

"hh" Will activate heading hold

"ap" Will activate autopilot master. SO LONG AS Altitude hold and Heading hold are active and you turn on the autopilot master, the plane WILL fly itself from here on out.

"apt" will activate autothrottle which is independent from autopilot! this will stay on regardless if ap master if on or off and will maintain set airspeed

THE FMS
