1. Launch your Microsoft Flight Simulator.
   
2. If you are using FS9 (FS2004), then select CREATE A FLIGHT (skip this step with FSX).
3. IMPORTANT: DO NOT SELECT Flight Planner; (we want to keep things simple)
   
4. Press Selected aircraft in your simulator and load the Cessna 172SP aircraft.
   
5. Press Selected location and choose Seattle - Tacoma Intl - 34R.
   
6. Set up the rest of your flight options and then press Fly Now.
   
7. After the scenery is loaded and the aircraft appears, minimize your simulator.
8. Click HERE, then press Run to launch the It's Your Plane application.
9. Michelle introduces herself, identifies your chosen aircraft and says, "Captain, It's Your Plane... we're ready to go." She then indicates that the origination and destination airports have not been defined and explains how to load a flight. Since we don't need a loaded flight at this time, simply ignore her suggestion.
   
10. Now let's manipulate the aircraft and its settings with Voice Commands.
    
    

1. Say, "Restart Cold and Dark" and Michelle resets both the aircraft and IYP.
   
2. Wait for the aircraft to be fully reset, and then say, "Close doors"
   
3. Now say, "Battery Master Switch On". Michelle will flip the switch.
   
4. How about, "Master Alternator Switch On"?
   
5. OK, "Landing Lights On" and see what happens.
   
6. If you are using FS9 (FS2004) say, "Beacon and Strobe Lights On". If you're using FSX, say, "Strobe Lights On", followed by, "Beacon Light On".
   
7. Try this ... "Make the heading zero niner zero" and watch the "Bug".
   
8. Say, "Bring up the radio stack".
   
9. OK... "Turn the Avionics On".
   
10. Great ! Now say, "Climb and Maintain three thousand, five hundred".
    Note that a Vertical Speed of 700 feet/min is automatically loaded.
    
11. Try this ... "Set the Vertical Rate of Climb to five hundred". . . see !
    
12. Let's change the Com1 Frequency ... "Set Com1 to One Two Three Point Five".
    
13. How about ... "Set Nav2 Standby to One One Three Decimal Five".
    
14. And, "Exchange Nav2".
    
15. How about this? "Squawk Four Five Six Seven".
    
16. We're done with the Radio Stack, so say, "Get rid of the radio stack".
    
17. Say, "Fuel Pump On".
    
18. Now say, "Set the Engine Mixture to Rich".
    
19. Wann'a have some fun? "Start Engine".
    
20. "Fuel Pump Off".
    
21. We'll need to set the flaps! Say, "Flaps ten".
    
22. "Navigation Lights On"".
    
23. OK... Say, "Parking Brakes Off".
    
24. Manually set the Pitch to the T/O position.
    
25. Terrific!   Now go to full throttle and let's get out of here!
    Once we reach about 300 feet AGL (approx. 800 feet), say, "Flaps up".
    
26. Try this command, "Airspeed one zero zero", or "Airspeed one hundred"
27. Say, "Auto-Pilot On" and the aircraft turns to the preset heading of 90 degrees, assumes and maintains a Vertical Rate of Climb of 500 feet/min and climbs to 3,500 feet.
    
    

1. Since in this case, we chose not to create a Flight Plan, Michelle has no idea where we are going or where we want to land; we need to tell her. Do so by saying, "Make the destination airport Kilo Sierra Echo Alpha". Michelle responds with, "The destination airport is KSEA" and specifies your distance from the airport.
   
2. Now say, "Load the ILS Approach Frequency for Runway Three Four Right". Michelle responds with, "Nav1 set to the ILS Approach Frequency of 110.3 for runway 34 Right". She will then give you the actual bearing for runway 34 Right... "Make the course 343." You simply say, "Make the course 343", and you'll see that the course will be set. Incidentally, since we are so close to the KSEA airport, Michelle may tell you that the Localiser and Glideslope are Alive!
3. Let's head down-wind. Say, "Turn right Heading One Six Zero".
4. Now, let's descend to 2,200 feet at a slow rate of 300 feet/min. Say, "Descend and Maintain Two Thousand Two Hundred", followed by, "Set the Rate of Descent to Three Hundred".
5. Once you've settled in at 2,200 feet, say, "Airspeed one one zero".
6. Perfect. Now, we need to be approximately 20 miles south of the airport before we turn onto Base.
7. Say, "Look right", "Look front right", "Look Front".
8. But, where are we... actually? Say, "Get the Flight Data". Michelle reports your distance from the airport.  
9. Say, "Bring up the GPS".
10. Repeat (every minute or so), "Get the Flight Data" until you are 20 miles from the airport.
11. OK, when you're ready to turn onto Base. Say, "Turn right heading Two Five Zero".
12. Say, "Get rid of the GPS".
13. We'll need to know when to set the heading to 310 (30 degrees from Final) in order to intersect the Localiser. So, say, "Set the ADF to Two, Two, Four Decimal Zero.".
14. Manually set the ADF HDG Select Knob to 250... our current heading.
15. When the ADF is pointing to 330 degrees, say, "Turn right heading three one zero".

1. Soon after we turn right to 310, we begin our Approach and Landing procedures.
2. At about 17 miles out, say, "Airspeed Eight Zero".
3. Once the Airspeed drops below 90 knots, say, "Flaps 10".
4. Once Michelle settles the aircraft at an Airspeed of around 80 knots, say, "Flaps 20".
5. Now say, "Select ILS Approach" and Michelle confirms the action.
6. Once Michelle recognises the Localiser and turns the aircraft towards Final. Say, "Flaps 30".
7. After the Glideslope is captured, say, "Airspeed Seven Five".
8. We follow the Glideslope. At about 500 feet AGL (approx. 900 feet), say, "Auto-Pilot Off", and click the Brake Switch. Michelle says, "Captain, I am no longer controlling the airspeed", so... Wake Up !
9. Once you're over the runway, kill the power and pull the nose up!
10. After you have cleared the runway, say, "Taxi Lights On", "Landing Lights Off", "Flaps Up", followed by, "Maintain Taxi Speed" and Michelle will... as usual... do her thing!

Cockpit Voice Recorder Transcription
Great!   Now minimise your simulator and look in the folder called IYPLogs. It's located off the root folder of your simulator. In there you will find a Cockpit Voice Recorder Transcription file. It will be named in the format of...

YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.htm

OK... let's do the same filght, only this time we will let Michelle help you with the approach and landing.

Let Michelle Assist You In Landing The Aircraft

We'll ask you to repeat all of the steps in Getting Airborne (1-27), and Let's Go Home (1-15) above.

1. Soon after we turn right to 310, we begin our Approach and Landing procedures.
2. You say, "Approach and Landing Checklist".
3. Michelle will ask, "Captain, do you want me to go through the approach and landing checklists and assist you with the landing?"
4. You respond with, "Affirmative", or "Yes please".
5. Michelle will say, "Roger. I will perform the approach and landing checklists as requested."
6. Michelle will then ask, "Are the passenger seat belts adjusted and locked?"
7. You respond with, "Affirmative", or "Checked".
8. Then Michelle will ask, "Is the fuel selector set to both?"
9. You respond with, "Affirmative", or "Checked".
10. Next she'll prompt with, "Check engine instruments."
11. You respond with, "Checked".
12. Then she'll ask, "Magnetos switch set to both?"
13. You respond with, "Affirmative", or "Checked".
14. Michelle will state that she's setting the airspeed to 85 knots.
15. Once the airspeed drops below 90 knots, Michelle will automatically set the Flaps to 10 Degrees.
16. Michelle will then set the Airspeed to 80 knots.
17. Once the airspeed drops below 85 knots, she'll automatically set the Flaps to 20 degrees.
18. As soon as the aircraft intersects the Localizer, Michelle will say, "Switching to ILS Approach Mode" and turn on the Auto-Pilot APR switch.
19. She'll then say, "Locked on the Localizer" and automatically turn the aircraft onto final approach.
20. Once the Glideslope has been intersected, Michelle will say, "We've captured the Glideslope" and begin to follow the glideslope towards the runway.
21. At this point, she'll lower the Flaps to 30 degrees and reduce the Airspeed to 75 knots.
22. Michelle will call out, "One Thousand", "Five Hundred", "Four Hundred", "Three Hundred", "Minimums", "Two Hundred".
23. Michelle will turn off the Auto-Pilot below 150 feet and say, "Auto-Pilot Off".
24. Next, you'll hear her say, "One Hundred" followed by, "Captain, I am no longer controlling the airspeed."
25. She'll continue to call out... "Fifty", "Forty","Thirty","Twenty","Retard", until touchdown.
26. Once you're over the runway, kill the power and nose-up for a PERFECT LANDING!
27. After you have slowed, Michelle will say, "The approach and landing checklists have been completed."
28. She'll then pull up the Flaps automatically.
