This checklist is a comprehensive Normal Procedures checklist for the PMDG 777-300ER, sourcing information from PMDG, the manufacturer, and a range of respected written and video sources. Also included is a flight planning procedure using SimBrief, and select Non-Normal procedures.
Why the colours?
The aim of this Graphical Checklist, is to provide complete procedural detail, in a way that is highly accessible. There appears to be a gap between multichapter tutorial guides, and simplified procedural checklists that lack detail. This not only consolidates all the information in those larger tutorial guides into 8 pages (6 for Normal Procedures), but it presents it in a way that even a first-time pilot, can follow along, and know where to look in the cockpit to complete each step.
How does it work?
There are 11 main colours, each colour serves two purposes - it signifies a location in the cockpit, and it represents an action.
1) Location - by colour coding different parts of the cockpit, it leads you to the general location of a switch, rotary, button or screen. Our brains also appreciate the visual cues, and you will find yourself moving more quickly through a checklist by recognising the flow.
2) Action - In most situations, only actions are colour-coded, whilst checks are left uncoloured. This helps you pick out the critical steps where you need to make a change to a switch, rotary, or button. It also allows those of you who want the simplicity of a short checklist, to skip over the checks, and only complete the critical actions to get you airborne. Then when you want more detail, its there for you to read.
Despite efforts to find errors, there may be errors present, so please report anything you feel is incorrect or out of place. Keep in mind some airlines, and indeed some video producers who are pilots, follow the procedures of a specific airline, so the order of procedures may vary. I have tried to balance all of these sources to provide a comprehensive and sensible set of procedures.
I am not a pilot, so I must give special thanks to all of the following sources for their effort in producing some truly excellent resources that I have had the pleasure of reading and incoperating into this checklist. If any author is unhappy with my usage or referencing of their work, please let me know.
