skwal 9 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I got the A330 and really enjoy the immersion of the checklists, my only annoyance is that it will automatically turn on taxi lights for before taxi checklist and landing lights (and t.o) during before takeoff checklist. Those are not required and real life and only use prior to taxi and prior to take off. If I am doing checklist but I will havent taken off I dont need them on.

We will ask our advisory pilots if this indeed an incorrect procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During day time the lights will be switched on as part of the taxi CL. Regards, Rolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwal 9 Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 Sure, but unless I am given clearance to taxi I dont switch them on. Before taxi checklist is done 99% of the time before you get clearance to taxi (same goes for take off). So its annoying that I have to turn them off, receive clearance to taxi and then turn them back on. I do the taxi, and before I get to the hold short line I go through before taxi checklist. The checklist will turn on my takeoff lights..... I will have to turn them back off and turn on taxi again until I get to hold short line where I turn off all taxi lights until I get clearance for take off .... then I turn on the takeoff lights.

Regards, Rolf Planes only turn on taxi lights when they start the taxi so other planes know that they are taxing, not before taxi and not during before taxi checklist.

We have discussed this with our advisory pilots and they tell us it differs per airline and region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwal 9 Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 Copilot: Turning on landings lights *turns on taxi lights* Captain: Excuse me, did I tell you to do that? *turns off taxi lights* ----short time later Copilot: before Taxi checklist, "lights on" *turns on landings light* Captain: Stop tuning on the lights before we actually get to the runway *turns landing lights off* Captain: Sigh....
