"Flight Simulator X" Flight 737 Checklist
Pilots need to check certain things every time before a flight. The Microsoft Flight Simulator software provides one of the more realistic flight simulator experiences, with gamers able to control simulations of many of the major commercial aircraft from around the world. Pre-flight checklists are available for every type of aircraft. The 737 checklist is available online and contains all the essential information to be checked pre-flight.

Pre-Start Checklist
-
The first item you should check is whether the parking brake is "set." The throttle should be "idle" and the fuel flow set to "cutoff." The pilot should ensure that the "Batt Master Switch" is "on" and the panel lights are switched "on," if required. The landing gear lever should be in the "check down" position, with the flaps in the "up" position. You should then check the pilot heat and de-ice controls are set to "off" and that the flight controls are in the "Free and correct" position with the avionic switched "on." The fasten seat belts and no-smoking signs should be switched on and you should check the weather reports, and then turn on the de-ice "check" switch. Following this, you can request clearance. Flip the transponder to standby and turn on the beacon.
Start-Up Checklist
-
You should perform this checklist prior to starting the engines. The thrust levers should be set to "idle" with the engine area registered as "clear." Turn the engine 1 start switch to "Start" and check the "At N2 > 20% Fuel Flow Eng 1" switch is "on." Check that "N1 is increasing as "N2" increases, and check the oil pressure. Repeat this process for engine 2. Check the engine instruments.

Takeoff Checklist
-
During takeoff, smoothly increase the thrust to 60 percent. Release the brakes and increase the V1, the critical engine failure recognition speed, to 150 KIAS, or knots-indicated air speed. The rotation speed --the speed at which the aircraft's nosewheel leaves the ground -- should be 155 KIAS and the nose should have a pitch of 10 degrees up. When off the ground, retract the landing gear; at 1,000 feet, retract the flaps to 1 degree. At 210 KIAS, retract the flaps up.
Climb-Out Checklist
-
During climb-out, use the throttle as required, with a maximum speed of 250 KIAS below 1,000 feet. You can check and activate the autopilot and auto-throttle. The safety belts and no-smoking signs may be switched off, as well as the landing lights. The maximum speed above 1,000 feet is 280 KIAS.
