Full Cold Start Kneeboard Checklist for F-16C Block 50 including procedures and tests in order from PRE-START to LANDING.
Full Cold Start Kneeboard Checklist for F-16C Block 50 including procedures and tests in order fr om PRE-START to LANDING.
This is my attempt at the most realistic full cold start checklist for the Viper, both in terms of procedures and appareance, as I gave it a cheap paper photocopy look.
This checklist was also meant to be compatible with the new Viper Pilot Model Kneeboard without cropping for seeing it in 3D, but can of course also be used with the Kneeboard menu as per usual.
It contains all necessary and unnecessary procedures as executed by real USAF pilots adapting only what's not doable in DCS as of now, so you might see some INOP stickers here and there.
My estimated time for completion is ~20 min, but can be a bit longer if you're not familiar with the procedures, it is NOT an easy checklist, so plan accordingly.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

It also includes a PDF file in case you want to use it in a different way.
Please keep in mind this checklist is based mostly on Minky7's F16C Checklist, which itself is also based on Chuck's Guides. This checklist is also based on Fisadev's video going over the procedures in DCS. It is also heavily based on Carbon's video going over the procedures, he's an IRL Crew Chief with tons of experience's on this airframe. It is also based on the publicly available USAF F-16 CD Flight Manual. On top of that I also contribuited to the list wh ere I could.
