A realistic checklist to work specifically with the MSFS Beech King Air 350i, recently updated with Sim Update IV, including some points for online flying.
I developed this checklist from scratch as a merge of RL checklists of similar aircrafts I found, RL B350 pilot's expertise (carefully researched through YT videos and forums) and the possibilities that the MSFS B350 has.
Albeit I left out some minor steps that you wouldn't be able to perform in the MSFS King Air 350i anyway, though (yes you, "inop." buttons).
= CHANGELOG =
v1.04
- Corrected some minor (spelling) errors
- Rearranged many engine related points closer to RL procedures, with the new possibilities of MSFS Sim Update IV
v1.03
- Rearranged some points to improve the overall workflow
- Removed some unneccessary points, taking away a bit from realism but improving the overal flight sim experience
- Corrected some line alignment errors in the speeds box
Solid checklist. A couple of things:
1) It'd be nice to have something about checking/adjusting cabin pressurization settings at the various stages of flight
2) From what I've been able to research, it seems that going above the low idle setting is only done in very specific situations ie. flying with AC on, turning on engine generators, on approach for high crosswind landings or when planning to use reverse thrust

I must say I am preferring version 1.02 as it includes a point about the logo lights which might not make a lot of difference but as I am flying on VATSIM it's certainly a good idea to be more visible when taxiing 😊 Also v1.03/1.04 does not recommend anymore to use LOW RPM for taxi which makes the plane a bit too quick too roll and hard to control.

Thank you for your feedback!
It didn't recommend the LOW setting, because the checklist hasn't yet been updated for the latest SU's with the turboprop changes, as I stopped flying MSFS some months ago.
Back then it had to be like that in order to get forward at all. :-(
But I am slowly getting bak into MSFS now, eagerly awaiting the Aerosoft Twotter release. And when I am back and settled in my good old 350 again, I will inspect all the SU changes and adjust the checklist accordingly with a new release!
Stick with the mod and you'll be notified when I update it and release a new checklist! :-)

Otherwise, splendid simple but more thorough checklist.

However I can't help but notice a few things.
1. Why is there no mention of setting flaps before take-off?
2. Would it be possible to include more V speeds? From what I've found V1: 105, Vr: 110, V2: 115. Approach speeds: 150, 130 and 105 (increasing flap setting). Vat 100. Of course there's a difference between a AFM/POH/SOP and a checklist, but since this is sim and there's not AFM/POH it could be a nice addition.
3. When showing target speeds and RPM, it could be nice to include target torque as well. I also have them if you're interested.

I just wanna ask why you remove engine anti-ice voices from the taxi checklists in the updated version?
Can that switch cause some flight sim issues in some cases? Cause i've never noticed any problem during my simulations... just curios about it
