DC-9 Passenger Aircraft

My replica of a DC-9 in a fictional Tropic Regional paint scheme. This plane can be spawned in any normal hanger, and can be started using a GPU or the aircraft's APU.
I tried to make this plane as realistic as possible, but if you have any suggestions tell me in the comments


APU Startup
Because the DC-9 was meant to be used at airports with less equipment, the engines can be started with electricity provided by the aircraft's APU.
1). On the overhead panel, turn on the battery and then turn on the forward fuel pumps.
2). Turn on the APU button. Optionally, you can turn on economy mode for reduced fuel consumption and reduced power output.
3). When the APU Power Available indicator lights up, turn on the APU GEN switch.
4). On the center console, turn on the two fuel cutoffs.
5). On the overhead panel, turn on the two engine buttons.
6). Turn on the engine GEN switches.
7). Throttle up to 6. Once the engines have started, turn off the APU and APU GEN switches.

GPU Startup
Optionally, the plane can be started using a GPU at airports with a more built-up infrastructure. You can use my GPU: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2213915370
1). Open the port on the right side of the plane and connect the GPU to the plane. Make sure to start the GPU first
2). On the overhead panel, turn on GPU power.
3). On the center console, turn on the two fuel cutoffs.
4). On the overhead panel, turn on the two engine buttons.
5). Turn on the engine GEN switches.
6). Once the engines have started, you can turn off GPU power and detach the GPU.

Ground Operations
The DC-9 was made with built-in airstairs that deploy at the front of the plane and in the tail. This plane also has a cargo bay, from which the APU can also be accessed.
This plane has nosewheel steering and push brakes to aid in taxiing. 13 is a good throttle setting for taxiing.

Takeoff
For takeoff, I recommend setting the flaps to 0.5 and throttling up to around 90-100.

Landing
For landing, gradually throttle down to 52 and lower the flaps to full. On final approach, throttle down to 13 and make sure the autobrakes are set.
