light Profiles are designed as a guideline. Power settings are recommended and subject to change based
upon actual conditions (i.e. aircraft weight, pressure altitude, icing conditions, and temperature). Airspeeds
may be adjusted depending upon ATC specific instructions, traffic flows, high density airports, and other factors.
The following flight profiles work for FlyRights simulator and are offered only as a guideline.
In addition to maintenance inspections and preflight information required by FAR Part 91, a complete, careful
preflight inspection is imperative.
Each airplane has a checklist for the preflight inspection which must be followed. USE THE CHECKLIST.
Pilots should refer to AFM/POH section 10, Safety Information, for detailed safety guidelines.

If windshear is encountered on takeoff and there is sufficient runway remaining to stop, the takeoff should be
rejected. If windshear is encountered at or above V1 or on approach:
When out of the windshear retract gear and flaps on schedule establish a normal climb and advise ATC.
