***** Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner *****
Operating Manual and Checklists
Operating
Manual
In the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), you can find Aircraft Checklists for
almost
every phase of the flight in the 'Fight Manual Index' page. You can also
view the
'Operating Manual' page which explains different flight maneuvers.
Just in case you feel looking into the EFB (which you could easily do in
EFB view anyway)
during runtime uncomfortable,
I've 'echoed' all the checklists from the EFB out here.
INTRO: Welcome Aboard the Boeing 787-8 Aircraft. These checklists are
based on real
documentation but are still not recommended to be used in real aviation.
For any help or support, send a PM to 'omega95' or 'redneck' on the
Forums.

*APU MASTER CONTROL: To start and run the APU,
first set the APU Master Knob
to START and watch either the fault light, or
the ELEC page on the EICAS screen.
When the fault light goes off or the APU
Indicator says 'STARTED' on the EICAS,
set the starter knob to ON. This should make
the APU Indicator say 'AVAILABLE'
and you can now continue taking power from the
APU Generator now.

Do not exceed 25 knots while taxiing.
You're recommended to either have the airport diagram installed and
opened up
on the EFB or zoom into the full screen navigation display all the way
to help you
navigate around the airport.
If you're planning to use a SID for departure, make sure you have that
installed
in your EFB Database and loaded up in your airport charts page for
reference.

Cruise Notes (not Checklist)
- Every 30 minutes, take a quick look at all
the instrument displays to make sure
- they're properly functioning. In case the
ND, EFB, CDU or FBW malfunctions
- or hangs, hit their respective RESET
buttons on the panel on both sides of
- the touch screen CDUs.
- Check
correct Mach Setting
- Make sure the fly-by-wire is engaged and
bank-limit is set as required.
- Note that the fly-by-wire's flight
envelope protection (alpha and bank) and
- auto-stabilization will be effective only
when the autopilot is turned off.
- This is so that it can't override the
autopilot. Still, you are recommended to keep
- the AP on throughout the flight and use
the Fly-by-wire to help you only
- during manual flight.
- Make sure the route is entered correctly
in the route manager, and the route is valid.
- In case of an error, re-activate the route
and use the 'JUMP TO' function to jump
- to the waypoint.
- Keep checking the fuel quantity against
the Flight Fuel Planner on the EFB to
- make sure you have enough fuel for the
flight.
- Make sure the window, engines and wing
temperatures stay above 0 to prevent
- ice buildup on
them. If they drop below 0, turn on their respective
- anti-icing/window-heating.
- Check hydraulic pumps to make sure they're
functioning properly.
- In case of a hydraulic pump overheat or
fault, turn them off, and turn on
- an alternative pump. Also make sure both
Air-Conditioning packs are on,
- trim air is on and equipment cooling is
turned on.
- You can find the Equipment Temperatures in
the PNEU page on any of the MFDs.
- In case the fuel quantity drops below the
required fuel displayed,
- start preparing for a diversion
to your alternate airport. Also, reduce
- mach speed to 0.75 mach
and if there's a fuel imbalance, enable cross-feed.

Appraoch
Checklist
NOTE: To get the runway's ILS frequency, either
get it from ATIS or go to the EFB,
Airport Information, Enter the Airport ICAO in
the CDU's EFB INPUT page,
go to the Runway Information page on the EFB,
enter the Runway in the
CDU's EFB INPUT page and click on SET
NAV1 next to the ILS frequency
on the EFB to set your NAV1 Radio.
