This website gives you a lot of current information around building your own cockpit ... and this will change the way you fly a simulator!


Boeing 737-800 (FSBUS Modulair) Checklist and Flows

Starting up the Boeing 737 from the the Cold & Dark state can be challenging.
Forgetting to complete one simple step and the entire operation could end up not working and you having to waste your precious time figuring out what you did wrong instead of flying.

Good working knowledge of the Boeing 737-800 is expected, as details of the procedures are very limited!
This 'checklist' is designed to allow people to quickly run through starting the Boeing 737-800 from Cold & Dark, right through to Shutdown & Secure. I know from experience it's to easy to miss items!

You can simply download the Boeing 737 Checklist and make the entire process smoother, quicker and more enjoyable.

Our checklist is complete with proved steps to take you from the pre-flight stage all the way to shutdown.

Look first for all the different parts (panels) of our cockpit.
In this picture you find the in the checklist used locations.
