Avro Vulcan B.2 Strategic Bomber

The Avro Vulcan is a jet-powered tailless delta wing high-altitude strategic bomber, operated by the Royal Air Force between 1956 and 1984. This iconic aircraft was the backbone of the United Kingdom's Nuclear deterrent during much of the Cold War, and was also used operationally in the Falklands War as part of Operation Black Buck.

This version is painted in the display camouflage of Vulcan XL426, now based at Southend Airport in the UK. I am intending to create other camouflage patterns and tail numbers as well.

Let me know your thoughts and any problems you find. Thanks!

Startup
[1] Ensure flight deck door is closed.
[2] Turn on 'Battery' switch. (To right of AEO seat)
[3] Turn on 'Flight Deck Lights' switch if required.
[4] If not starting AAPP, go to step 5. Otherwise, turn on 'AAPP Fuel Switch' and 'AAPP Master Switch'. Allow AAPP to start and ensure 'AAPP Generator Off' light extinguishes after startup.
[5] Ensure 'Parking Brake' is set on. (Default off)
[6] Turn on 'Rotating Beacon' and 'Navigation' lights. Turn on 'Instrument' lights if required.
[7] Turn on 'Bomb Doors' switch and ensure 'Bomb Doors Open' light extinguishes once closed.
[8] Turn on 'LH' and 'RH Fuel Pumps' switches and ensure 'Low Fuel Pressure Warning' lights extinguish.
[9] Ensure throttle is set to ~5% then press each engine 'Push to Start' button in turn, allowing the engines to spool, ignite and stabilise. Note you do not have to hold the button while the engine starts.
[10] Turn on 'No.1' and 'No.2 Alternator' switches. (To right of AEO seat) Ensure warning lights extinguish.
[11] If AAPP is running, turn off 'AAPP Fuel Switch' and 'AAPP Master Switch'.
[12] Turn on the 'Powered Flying Control Units' switch and ensure the 'PFCUs Off Warning' light extinguishes.
[13] Turn on the 'Nose Wheel Steering' switch and ensure the 'Nose Wheel Steering Off' light extinguishes.

Taxi
[1] Turn on 'Taxi/Landing Lights' switch.
[2] Release parking brake and ensure 'Parking Brake Set' light extinguishes.
[3] Ensure all red and amber warning lights are extinguished.
[4] Use small throttle movements and nose wheel steering to taxi for takeoff. (~15% throttle works well)

Takeoff
[1] Line up correctly on runway.
[2] Increase throttle to 100% and use small rudder movements to keep aircraft on runway centre-line.
[3] Aircraft will lift off by itself at correct speed. Once airborne, retract gear and ensure 'Gear Position Indicator' light extinguishes after a few seconds.
[4] Turn off 'Nose Wheel Steering' switch and ensure the 'Nose Wheel Steering Off' light illuminates.
[5] Turn off 'Taxi/Landing Lights' switch.

Landing
Reverse of 'Takeoff' procedure. Try to be gentle as the landing gear does like to break... Good luck!
