Summary

Fixed a few things that were still referencing 2 engine aircraft. Adjusted the order or a couple of the steps.
Adjusted wording of the checklists to add things like 'selector' and 'pb-sw' to reflect the FCOM nomenclature.

Aligned checks with my current FCOM. Happy to re-edit to align with whatever the target FCOM / Software load is.

Self note: Do we explain anywhere what (if any) the differences between a full alignment and fast alignment is anywhere? - Investigate.

If not we should quickly outline that on this page possibly.

IRL we do a hybrid align where 1 and 2 are full aligned while 3 remains untouched until 1 and 2 have a rough position, that way the load control connection to the aircraft is maintained (the sat Comms knows roughly where it is in the world) and the refuelling status / trim tank levels / CG etc can be worked out between them.

If a full align in the sim takes 7+ minutes, then people will maybe get confused when maps and PFDs start disappearing from view and not coming back before they're ready to taxi.

Can't check right now, is there a "instant align" button on the iPad?

Most of these deletions should be double checked against the SOP document we have as this was the reference (not the FCOM).
We should have some consistency between this guide and the SOP doc.

What's the source for that SOP? It's quite different to what I have. For instance the poor old FO does almost all the work regardless of who is going to be PF. Is there a way to edit the source for that SOP as there are a few things that could be fixed in there as well?

The source is also on the repo:
https://github.com/flybywiresim/docs/tree/multi-aircraft-restructure/src/sop/src%20A380%20Documentation

This has been written a while ago be member who is no longer active. But they had a lot of experience with these things and also wrote the A32NX one. I recommend to only change things that are wrong and need to be fixed. It is not worth to change it completely to match an operator specific version.

Changing too much requires reworking the beginner guide as well.

Should we make a SOP document that is designed for single pilot ops and then build the BG around that, with a more standard SOP / checklists etc in the Advanced Guides?

I don't think we should. We never had an artificial SOP for the sim single pilot situation. And user ignore the PF/PM remarks. On top the bg does not even use them.

Let's discuss on Discord if you want.
