After entering the aircraft, the first officer prepares the cockpit for flight. There are five important items that must be checked before every flight. As a reminder of these five items, we use the acronym Space, which stands for safety, power accessory panel, circuit breakers, emergency equipment and everything else. We'll begin with the safety items. These are items that ensure electrical redundancy or large parts of the aircraft that can move or change position if hydraulic power is applied, beginning with the overhead panel in the lower portions of Sections one and to ensure the battery is on the standby power selector is set to auto and all three hydraulic pump switches are off. Then verify the landing gear lever is down and the alternate flap selector is said to norm. The P in space stands for power. There are two ways to establish electrical power to the aircraft on the lower portion of Section two on the overhead panel. If available, you can select external power. If external power isn't available, you can start the auxiliary power unit or a P U. When you start the AP, you you will see a momentary fault light followed by run run. This is the normal startup sequence for the A P U. The A in space stands for accessory panel. This panel is located directly behind the first officer's seat beginning at the top of the center section. Set the flight recorder switched to norm. Set the service Inter phone switch to Off or P R M. If equipped, Moving to the lower section of the center panel the reserve brakes and steering reset Disable switch guard should be closed and the i s Ln light extinguished. Lastly, near the bottom of Section one, the EEC maintenance power switch should be said to normal. The sea in space stands for two things. Circuit breakers and cargo access door check to see all circuit breakers in both the overhead and side panels are in and the cargo access door is closed. The cargo access door location and operation will be discussed in more detail with euro instructor on the aircraft, the E in space stands for emergency equipment and everything else. Although we verbalized this step, we're not able to check these items in the V, P. T or simulators because they're not equipped. However, once you begin flying the specifics of what to check during your cockpit. Preparation will be covered by your O E. Instructor. This concludes the review of cockpit preparation. As you study this process, remember the acronym Space Safety, Power Accessory Panel, circuit breakers, emergency equipment and everything else. Now that the space check is complete, you're ready to begin your flows to set up the cockpit for flight. The next video, we'll discuss how this is done.
