Let’s stop at this point. Why am I checking this? I checked if the two pumps of the central hydraulic system (C1 and C2) are off.
I check DEMAND pump selectors – all off. Correct.
I check C1 and C2 PRIMARY pump switches – both are off. As they should. At this moment I can ignore it.Ī little digression – 777 has an automated power management system that decides which systems should be powered first – that is why most of the indicator lights in cockpit stayed dark. Among others – Generator OFF lights came up. I press BATTERY button – it seems like the current flows through systems – some indicators lit up. I take the FCOM and look for Supplementary Procedure (SP) 6.2. That is why Electrical Power Up is a Supplementary procedure (instead of Normal Procedure). It is not the usual situation – pilots normally receive the plane with the power connected and some systems already running. In this case the crew boarded the plane early in the morning, no one was inside since yesterday and everything is turned off. I will show the startup from “cold and dark” state. I will skip FMC programming in this text – FMC will be covered later. If you are looking for a magical “what to click and when” guide – open your checklist. If you instead want to know the value of the PMDG 777 and it’s systems – you may find this text interesting. I would like to focus on why the pilot is pressing buttons – I am interested in the reasons for actions we take flying this plane.

I hate this “clickology” kind of tutorials where someone simply points to what should be clicked and the reader learns nothing but how to get through the process without a clue what he (or she) is actually doing. First, let me explain what this text is not about.
