Every phase for the Boeing 757, as flown in a flight simulator — panel scans marked as flows, read-and-respond cards marked as checklists. Open the interactive version to tick lines off, fill in your speeds and keep your place between sessions.
-200 — The classic. Thrust-to-weight is famously generous — expect to level off early and watch the speed on a light departure.
-200F — Freighter — main deck cargo door, no cabin items; brief the loadmaster instead of the cabin crew.
-300 — Stretched by 7 m. Tail strike is the thing to watch: rotate no faster than 2°/s.

A freighter's CG range is wider than the passenger version's and the load is not self-loading. Check the trim setting against the load sheet, not against habit.
