    4. Slats and flaps both, on a wing that behaves beautifully when it is configured and firmly otherwise.

  4. AIRBRAKESRETRACTED
  5. FUEL PUMPS / TRANSFERSET

    6. Feeding three engines from a tank system built in the seventies means the transfer sequence matters. Know which tank is feeding what.

Engine Start Flow · from memory

  1. AREACLEAR
  2. ENGINE 2 (CENTRE)STARTED FIRST

    3. The centre engine breathes through an S-duct from the fin root. It starts and accelerates a little differently from the pods — expect it rather than being surprised by it.

    12. Three engines means an engine failure costs you a third of the thrust, not half. The numbers are kinder than a twin's — the drill still has to be flown.
