Hovercontrol 412 Personal Edition - Non-Commercial Entertainment Use Only PILOT CHECKLISTS Saving a Working Flight Prestart Engine Start Engine 1 Start Engine 2 Start Post Start Before Take-Off   Engine Shutdown Visit Hovercontrol.com for more information. SAVING A WORKING FLIGHT Return To Main List The Hovercontrol 412 is not like other default helicopters in flight simulator. If you wish to create and save your own flight in flight simulator from scratch, it is most important that you start with the following steps. You can also begin by using one of the included Hovercontrol 412 pre-saved flights which can be found in the Hovercontrol category of your saved flights option under Flights->Select Flight->Choose a Category->Hovercontrol. After choosing one of the included flights, aircraft location can be changed, and the flight can be re-saved with the name of your choice. FAILURE TO START WITH A WORKING FLIGHT WILL LEAD TO PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE GENERATOR SWITCHES NOT REACTING TO YOUR INPUTS Steps for saving your own working flight from scratch. 1. Flights->Select a Flight->Choose a Category->Other->Meigs Field 2. Let this default Meigs/Cessna Flight Load 3. Confirm that the Cessna is RUNNING (should be by default) 4. Aircraft->Select Aircraft->Select Any Hovercontrol 412 Model 5. Wait for Flight Simulator to load the 412 aircraft. 6. Once Hovercontrol 412 Loads, Engines will be spinning up/running. 7. Next, you can shut down the 412, or move it to another airport. 8. Save Your Flight. Flights->Save Flight 9. Your flight will be in the "My Saved Flights" Category for future use. After loading a flight that uses the Hovercontrol 412 (one that you save using the steps above, or one that was included). It is important not to assume that any systems are ON or OFF. It is highly recommended that you familiarize yourself with the included checklists and use them before operating this aircraft to ensure that the aircraft systems, fuel, and engine settings are as they should be before and during flight. Failure to do so could lead to unexpected aircraft system behavior or failure.
