Every phase for the Fokker 70 / 100, 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.
F100 — The original of the pair, Tay 620 or 650. One of the first narrowbodies with a glass cockpit.
F70 — The F100 shortened by about 5 m. Same cockpit, same flows, livelier on a light load.

Fokker calls the ground spoilers lift dumpers. They arm for takeoff and landing, and the handle is where the muscle memory of another type will not look.

The Tay is a two-shaft turbofan and starts briskly. Watch ITT rather than EGT — the Fokker labels it differently from the American types.
