The foundation of this TBM 930 checklist are two fold:

1. Taxi-Fly-Taxi

Instead of starting at the end of a runway, virtual Air Traffic Controllers like VATSIM, PilotEdge, Boston Virtual ARTCC and even Pilot2ATC prefer ramp starts. Not a fan of cold and dark starts or shutdowns this checklist minimizes those aspects of MSFS with the help of  Pilot2ATC.

2. The Pilot2ATC Copilot

Interspersed with the progression of checklists are timely Pilot2ATC starter phrases to begin a virtual ATC exchange. It is my recommendation to have the Pilot2ATC copilot “Responds To Radio” calls and “Change Frequencies” until you are familiar with the specific phraseology Pilot2ATC expects (Config/Speech/Copilot Options/). At any time when you are comfortable adding to the frenetic workload of this high-performance aircraft, you can turn off either or both options. Of course, you can ignore the Pilot2ATC starter phrases completely and just use the checklist!

There are two sets of files.  The first uses my call sign as an example and the second has blanks to write in your call sign. Anywhere I have included “TBM _____” I have found using that just using the last three unreliable. The PDF files can be printed, folded along the lines and taped to the bezel of your monitor. If you fly VR or want the checklist available from the toolbar I included JPG files to work with eBag (Electronic Flight Bag) also works in VR (  https://flightsim.to/file/9001/ebag-electronic-flight-bag-also-works-in-vr ).

Take care, be safe
