This summary covers the essential procedures from the tutorial. It details how to bring the Hornet from a "cold and dark" state to active flight. 1. Preflight and Initial Power
: Use Nose Wheel Steering (NWS) to navigate to the runway.
: Ensure the Oxygen (OBOGS) is on, the Ejection Seat is armed, and the Parking Brake is released.
: Set the battery switch to ON (Right Console).
: Repeat the process by moving the crank switch to LEFT and advancing the left throttle to IDLE at 25% RPM. 3. Systems Initialization
: Rotate the INS knob to GROUND (or CV if on a carrier). For faster alignment, select Stored Heading on the HSI page.
