The following is a list of different stages of flight in which events will cause your instructor to talk to you,
with specific reference to the Twin Otter you are flying.
Cold and Dark
- [On ground with no engines running and parking brake off]
Advice to set parking brake.
- [Shortly after flight starts on ground with D. C. Master on]
Estimate of current fuel as a percentage of full.
- [Shortly after flight starts on ground with D. C. Master on]
Warning that the pilot must wait until Ng stabilizes above 12% before introducing fuel with the fuel
lever when starting an engine or an engine fire will most likely result..
Starting Engines
- [Engine start attempted]
Warning that the pilot must wait until Ng stabilizes above 12% before introducing fuel with the fuel
lever when starting an engine.
- [Engine start attempted and power levers not correctly set]
Advice that power levers should both be at idle when starting the engines.
- [Engine start attempted and propeller levers not correctly set]
Advice that propeller levers should both be either fully forward or fully aft when starting the engines,
according to the preference set by the pilot at the Aircraft Screen of FSFlyingSchool. This allows the
pilot to choose which of the two different methods are used by the aircraft owners he/she is flying
with on that flight.
- [Engine start attempted and parking brake not set]
Warning that parking brake must be set when starting the engines.
Taxi Out
- [Shortly after moving in taxi mode]
Advice on which instruments and systems should be checked during taxiing.
- [Shortly after moving in taxi mode and too little flaps]
Advice to set flaps to 10 or 20 degrees.
- [Shortly after moving in taxi mode and too much flaps]
Advice to set flaps to 10 or 20 degrees.
Take Off
- [Shortly after entering takeoff mode]
Instructor reads off speeds for 'Rotate' and 'v2' based on aircraft gross weight and flaps setting.

Reminder that vY best rate of climb with 2 engines is 103 KIAS. Use this speed to climb after
takeoff in normal operations.
- [Shortly after takeoff]
Reminder that vX best angle of climb with 2 engines is 89 KIAS. Use this speed to climb steeply
after takeoff to clear obstacles.
- [Taking off and an engine lost]
