TUTORIAL REQUIREMENTS:

• FS2Crew for the Aerosoft CRJ available at https://www.fs2crew.com/


• If using Voice Control, a microphone. If not using Voice Control, you can use Button Control.
• For information on setting up Voice Control, please consult the FS2Crew Main OPS Manual.
Note that unlike some older version of FS2Crew, your speech recognizer can be set to ENGLISH
either US, UK, AU, Canada, or India. You are not limited to ENGLISH US.

TUTORIAL NOTES:
• You are the Captain and the Pilot Flying.
• The computer simulates the role of the First Officer and Pilot Monitoring.
• Your commands (spoken if using Voice Control), are marked in RED TEXT.
• If using Button Control, using the Main and Secondary Button (See the Main OPS Manual) to
action the commands described in this tutorial.
• If using VOICE CONTROL, for many of the actions/checklists to work, the MODE on the FS2Crew
Main Panel must match the action/checklist you are verbalizing. You cannot, for example, call
for the DESCENT CHECK while the mode indicates ORIGINATING CHECK.
• Additional voice commands are listed at the bottom of this tutorial.
• If you get stuck on a voice checklist response not being detected, speak: “SET AND CHECKED”
• If you require support, please visit the FS2Crew Support Forum at Avsim.com
• All lights are controlled by you (the Captain) since they are on the left side of the cockpit.
• Since the CRJ already has built in Cabin PAs, FS2Crew did not add Cabin PAs to the simulation.

HOW TO OPEN THE FS2CREW MAIN
PANEL:
• Assign a key to AUTOFEATHER ARM/OFF in the FS CONTROLS ASSIGNMENTS menu. We
suggest using the “N” key.

BUTTON ASSIGNMENTS AT A GLANCE:


• The following key assignments are made in the FS Controls Menu. Note that Voice and Button
share the same key assignments. That is not a mistake in the manual.

Open FS2Crew Main Panel: AUTOFEATHER ARM/OFF (Recommended key: “N”)

VOICE CONTROL:

Soft Mute: PROPELLER SYNC (ON/OFF) (Recommended key: “C”)

Hard Mute: ALTERNATE STATIC SOURCE (ON/OFF) (Recommended key: “V”)

BUTTON CONTROL:

Main Button: ALTERNATE STATIC SOURCE (ON/OFF) (Recommended key: “C”)


Secondary Button: PROPELLER SYNC (ON/OFF) (Recommended key: “V”)

SETTING UP THE CRJ AIRCRAFT:


• It is recommended you disable the built in FA sounds in the CRJ to avoid conflicts with the
FS2Crew FA. Be sure to ‘SAVE’ your settings. If you want to use Cabin Announcements, enable
the CRJ’s built-in cabin announcements. To avoid redundancy, FS2Crew does not use its own
cabin PA’s in this version.

Aerosoft CRJ V1.0 FS2Crew.com 2


• Your Barometer Units should be Synchronized. Also, FS2Crew uses Mbar’s or InHG for altimeter
setting audio based on your associated selection in the EFB as shown below:

PHASE: PREFLIGHT EVENTS RUNNING


MODE: ORIGINATING CHECK

Note: Running the Pre-Flight Events is OPTIONAL. You can start the Pre-Flight events routine via the PF
page on the SECONDARY FS2Crew Panel.

The Time remaining counter starts at 35 minutes.

We will assume the aircraft is COLD AND DARK.

Note: If you want to use the IRS, you should set them to align during the originating flow after the
aircraft powers up.

TIME REMAINING:

• +35 Minutes before Departure: The FO will drop his/her bags in the cockpit and head outside to
do the walkaround. The Captain (that is you!) performs the SAFETY CHECK FLOW if the aircraft
is cold and dark, and then silently reads the SAFETY CHECKLIST. If the aircraft is already
powered, you can skip this procedure.

CAPT ACTIONS:

• Command: “GEAR UP”.


• As desired, command: “SPEED MODE HEADING MODE”, or “SPEED MODE NAV MODE” if flying a
RNAV departure.
• If you want the autopilot on, command: “AUTOPILOT ON”. If you are using Button Control and
you do not want to engage the autopilot, use the arrow button on the Main Panel to skip over
this command.
• At 1000 AGL, command: “CLIMB SEQUENCE”. The FO will retract the flaps on schedule by
himself. The FO will select Flaps 8 passing through V2 + 12, V2 + 20 for Flaps 1, and VFTO -15 for
flaps 0. Important point: You do not manually command the FO to retract each notch of flap.
He will do it by himself uncommanded. THIS IS DIFFERENT from other FS2Crew’s and most
other airlines, but it’s the way this airline does it in an effort to help keep the cockpit quiet so
ATC calls aren’t missed. Once the flaps are at 0, the FO will announce: “FLAPS UP”.

Aerosoft CRJ V1.0 FS2Crew.com 16


Note: If for some reason you ever get stuck in CLIMB SEQUENCE (mostly likely due to having
hardware assigned to your flaps), click the Down Arow icon on the FS2Crew Main Panel to
manually advance to the next level.
• At 1500 AGL, command: “AFTER TAKEOFF CHECK”. The FO will silently perform the After
Takeoff flow and checklist. The FS2Crew Mode will then change to ‘Cruise’.

• FO’S AFTER TAKEOFF FLOW:

▪ Cross flow: Auto


▪ APU: Verify Off
▪ Ignition: Off
▪ Landing Gear: Verify Up
▪ Flaps: Up
▪ Thrust Reversers: Off

PHASE: CLIMB AND CRUISE


MODE: CRUISE

CAPT ACTIONS:

• Set exterior lights as desired.


• The airline we modelled does not model a callout when passing the Transition Altitude. They
perform the altimeter change silently.
• If making a change in the FMS that requires pressing the EXEC button, speak: “CONFIRM”. The
FO will reply “CONFIRMED”. Then you can hit EXEC.
• Command: “ARE YOU READY FOR THE APPROACH BRIEF?” Complete the brief by speaking:
“ANY QUESTIONS?” If desired, you can also run the Approach Briefing on the APPROACH BRIEF
screen on the FS2CREW SECONDARY PANEL. This action also triggers FS2Crew to advance to the
next mode: DESCENT CHECK.
• Do NOT forget to run the approach brief because it puts FS2Crew into DESCENT MODE. You will
see flashing DM text on the FS2Crew main panel. This mode is required for many descent
actions to trigger.

Aerosoft CRJ V1.0 FS2Crew.com 17


PHASE: DESCENT
MODE: DESCENT CHECK

FO ACTIONS:

The FO will perform his/her Descent Check flow at 18,000 feet. Note that at the airline we modeled,
there is no approach checklist, and no specific Transition Level callouts. The Altimeter transition is done
silently. FS2Crew MUST be in Descent Mode for this flow to trigger (do not forget to run the Approach
Briefing as it is the trigger).

• FO’S DESCENT CHECK FLOW AT 18,000

▪ Seatbelt Sign: On
▪ Thrust Reversers: Armed

CAPT ACTIONS:

• Set exterior lights as desired.


• Set your altimeter to local pressure when passing the Transition Level. There is no callout for
this procedure. FS2Crew will not update the FO’s altimeters, so ensure your altimeters are set to
automatically sync.
• After the FO has completed his descent flow, and when ready, command: “DESCENT CHECK”. If
you are flying in Europe and you want to delay the Descent Check until you have crossed the
Transition Level, that is no problem.

• Make the following commands as desired: “FLAPS 1”, “FLAPS 8”, “FLAPS 20”, “GEAR DOWN”,
“FLAPS 30” and “FLAPS 45”.
• The FO will press the CHIME button prior to selecting gear down.
• The final landing flap is always Flaps 45, unless you are flying a single-engine approach, in which
case you would use Flaps 20 as your final landing flap.
• The FO will initiate the BEFORE LANDING CHECK by himself after the final landing flap has been
selected. You do NOT call for the checklist. This is different from other FS2Crew’s and what you
may be expecting, but it is the way this airline does it.
