Here is my usual way:
- I go to the departure airport (usually where I landed the previous flight)
- I choose a destination upon plane requirements and range, wished flight time and personal preference.
- If I wish a nice sunset or sunrise during approach, I go to http://www.hia-iha.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/sunrise_adv_f.html to check the daylight time
- I go to http://www.fsdestinations.com/icao.php?mode=full to check what will be probably the landing runway
- Listen the ATIS and look weather at departure for take off runway
- I go to http://www.fsdestinations.com/icao.php?mode=full, get the altitude wind.
- With these indications I can make an acurate flight planning in FSNavigator including departure an approach vectors and make a
correction of cruise speed depending on expected altitude wind.
- I export the flight from FSNAV and load it into the MSFS flight planner
- Switch on battery; connect to ground power or start the APU, check that all electric items has power
- Start FSpassengers
- Ask IFR clearance, prepare the radiosaltitude annouciators, rims, (joystick calibration etc.
- If my plane don't have APU (like my CS B 707) I start the engine 4, switch power to it and disconnect ground power.
- When every body is on board, the door closed, get taxi clearance, push back and start all engines.
