Each starting position has specific configurations to ensure a smooth transition into your flight. Below are the descriptions of each starting position and what they represent: ## **Parked at Gate or Parking** **Trigger Conditions:** * The aircraft is initially positioned at a gate or parking spot. * The aircraft has not yet moved from its starting position. **Description:** The **Parked at Gate or Parking** phase represents the state of the aircraft when it is positioned at a gate or parking area before any significant movement occurs. It signifies the start of ground operations where the aircraft is stationary and awaiting further procedures such as boarding or pushback. **User Tips:** * This phase confirms that the aircraft has started its journey parked at the gate or parking area. * Ground handling and boarding activities typically occur during this phase. *** ## **Started on Runway** **Trigger Conditions:** * The aircraft starts on a runway, engines running, and ready for takeoff. **Description:** The **Started on Runway** position sets the aircraft on a runway with engines on, ready for an immediate takeoff. This phase is perfect for quick departures without going through ground procedures. **User Tips:** * Ensure your aircraft is configured for takeoff, including flaps and trim settings. * Be ready to initiate takeoff clearance from ATC or self-coordinate for departure. *** ## **Started in Air** **Trigger Conditions:** * The aircraft starts airborne at a designated altitude, engines running, and potentially already in a climb or cruise. **Description:** The **Started in Air** position places the aircraft already airborne, bypassing takeoff and initial climb procedures. This is ideal for mid-flight training, testing specific flight phases, or resuming from a previous session. #### **Special Considerations for In-Air Starts** When starting in the air, the system checks various altitude points: * **Above 400 Feet**: Marks the initial climb stage. * **Above 3000, 5000, 10000, and 18000 Feet**: Each altitude triggers a corresponding flight phase recognition, such as passing certain climb checkpoints or reaching cruising altitude. * **Descent Phases**: If the current session indicates descent, it automatically updates to reflect the correct descent phase. {% hint style="info" %} When starting in the air, the current flight phase is identified up to the cruise phase, provided that a cruising altitude is defined. If no cruising altitude is specified, the aircraft will only display as "Airborne" rather than progressing through the "Climb" phases. {% endhint %} **User Tips:** * Check the Flight Details on the inFlight Status window to ensure the proper cruising altitude is set. {% hint style="info" %} Failure to verify proper cruising altitude may incorrectly trigger cruise phase. {% endhint %} *** ## **Other Ground Positions** **Trigger Conditions:** * The aircraft starts on the ground, not on a runway, with engines either on or off. **Description:** If your aircraft starts on the ground but not on a runway, it will automatically configure based on engine status, similar to the **Pre-Boarding** phase. # Manual Starting Positions In some cases—due to simulator behavior or the layout of a specific airport—the correct starting position may not be automatically detected. Additionally, you may simply prefer to choose a starting point manually. To do this, click the **"More"** button and select your desired **Starting Position** from the list.\ It’s quick and easy.
