L-1011 Procedure: Pre-Flight Check - Flight Recorder, Waste Water, Oxygen, Doors

From Eastern Flight Training Manual

Flight Recorder

• Set day, month, flight number, weight, pilot number and leg; then insert the data on the flight recorder by pressing DDI insert button 

Rated EPR Mode Panel

• Set the current runway temperature with the thumbwheel and press TO-1 or TO-2
• Compare this data to the computed data to verify the integrity of the TAT/EPR computer, which may then be used for climb, cruise and go-around.

Humidity Control

• The humidity control is used, as necessary, to remove moisture from the air. Normally ON, except in cold or very dry climates. 

Oxygen Panel

• Confirm the green OXYGEN FLOW light is extinguished and the deployment switch is guarded and safetied. 

Annunciator Panel 

• Check for abnormal indication.

L-1011 Procedure: Preflight Check - Engine Status Panel, Clock and APU

From Lockheed L-1011 

Engine Status Panel

• Airborne Vibration Monitor: With the selector switch in NORM, test the vibration monitor by first latching in the FAN switch and pressing the Test Switch. Then unlatch the FAN switch latch in the TURB switch. This checks Airborne Vibration Monitor (AVM) system and indicators. Indicator pointers should drive to approximately 4 Units. The vibration caution lights (in each indicator) should illuminate at 2 1/2 units, and the ENG/APU STATUS annunciator on the master caution/warning panel should illuminate. Unlatch TURB switch. 
• Check N2 indicators show zero and the overspeed indicators are at 100%.
• Reverser pressure lights should be extinguished. 

Clock

• Set the clock to the correct time.

APU

• Check APU for normal operation. NG and TGT indicators are in the green band when the APU is running. 

L-1011 Procedure: Preflight Check - Fuel System, Fuel Control Amplifier, Fuel Used and Engine Oil Panel

From Lockheed L-1011 Flight Training Manual

Fuel Panel

• Verify refueling is complete and the REFUEL POWER ON switch legend is extinguished. 
• Test the fuel quantity system. Check that fuel quantity indicators and digital readouts drive towards FULL. The 2L and 2R INBD LOW quantity lights illuminate, and FUEL SYSTEM annunciator light on the CAWP is illuminated. 
• Latch in one pump switch on 2L or 2R thank, and open all three cross feed valve. This provides full pressure to all engines in preparation for start. 
• All amber lights should be extinguished, and all tank valve and cross feed valve switchlight flow bars illuminated, as well as one tank pump switch flow bar in 2L or 2R tank. 

Fuel Dump Panel 

• All light are extinguished.

Fuel Control Amplifier

• Switches should be unlatched and guarded and OVRD legend extinguished. 

Engine Fuel Used Panel

• Turn the test knob on each indicator and observe the fuel flow indicators drive to 10,000 pph, and the Fuel Used indicators increase at that rate. Fuel Used indicators are then reset by the Fuel Used Reset switch on the Fuel System panel. 

Engine Oil Panel

• Check all FILER PRESSURE lights extinguished. 
• Test the pressure gauges with the PRESS IND test switch. Oil pressure indicators go to the 9 o'clock position. 
• The (3) three oil temperature gauges should indicate approximately the same, depending on time since engine shutdown. 
• Oil quantity should be adequate for the flight (normally 15 - 20 US quarts)

L-1011 Procedure: Preflight Check - Hydraulic and Electrical Panel

From Lockheed L-1011 Flight Training Manual

Hydraulic Panel 

• Hydraulic Fluid level - minimum 3/4 full. 
• The suction shutoff flow bars illuminated and the engine driven PUMP S/O flow bars illuminated. 
• The only amber lights that should be illuminated are the four engine driven PUMP OUTPUT LO PR lights. 
• Start B3 and C3 electric pumps and PTU's to charge the hydraulic pump accumulators. After that, place the pumps back to off. 

Electrical Panel

• If external power is available, it should be used. If not, use the APU
• IDG temp and power meter should reflect ambient or residual temperature and zero load. 
• With APU power, the only flow bars illuminated will be the APU generator field and generator breaker, and the three (3) bus tie breakers. 
• The only amber lights illuminated will be the three (3) engine driven IDG Disconnect LOW PRESS switches and the Open lights for each generator field and breaker. All other lights will be extinguished. 
• The Essential Power source selector should be in the NORM B3-(G1) position. 
• The Battery Switch is to ON 
• With the DC Meter selector, check all DC sources. Indications will be bus voltage and respective T/R amperage. All amperages should be equal. Battery should be pulse charging. Return selector to the essential transformer rectifier (ESS) position after checks. 
• Place the AC selector to the engine to be started.
