The A.49 Airway is a fictional airliner, based heavily off the Boeing 737 and DC-10, but smaller. She seats 472 passengers and maximum of 9 crew personnel, including flight operations and passenger services.

Flap (VTOL) position effects:
Neutral thru half down = lift / medium to light drag
Half down thru full down = no lift / heavy drag (speed brakes)

AG 1 - Spool turbine fans (should take 5 - 10 seconds)
AG 2 - Initiate thrust (actual jets)
AG 3 - Navigation lights
AG 4 - Anti-collision lights
AG 5 - Runway taxi lights
AG 6 - Landing lights
AG 7 - Reverse thrust

For take-off, activate anti-collision lights, and spool up turbine fans. Set flaps to one-quarter down, and activate thrust ignition. Throttle to full and rotate at 215mph.

For landing, assuming near-full tank of fuel, flaps to half down and trim to full down. Activate landing lights, throttle between 55% and 60%. Her landing gear can take hard-landings, but she can easily bounce back; soft landings are recommended. Upon touchdown, flaps to full down to create more drag and pitch up to keep her nose on the ground. Activate reverse thrust for a quicker stop.

    Whoa. I see that you’re definitely improving your plane building skills much more quickly than I expected you to. And I love it. 😁
