The systems panel holds the switches you use before and after a flight. Open it with the **Systems** tile on the right of the cockpit screen.

| Section | Switches |
| --- | --- |
| **Misc** | Auto Start, Flight Plan, Auto Brakes |
| **Interface** | Head-Up Display, Flight Path Vector, Flight Data (Infinite Flight's on-screen overlays) |
| **Electrical** | Main Battery, Auxiliary Power (APU), External Power |
| **Lights** | Navigation, Strobe, Landing, Beacon and Panel lights |
| **Passengers** | Seat Belt Sign, No Smoking Sign |
| **Engines** | Each engine on or off, Fuel Dump |
| **Actions** | Captain Window, Copilot Window |

Switches the current aircraft does not have are hidden automatically, so the panel looks different from one aircraft to the next.

## Starting the engines

The quickest way is **Auto Start**: SkyYoke asks Infinite Flight to start every engine in order. To start engines one at a time, use the **Engine** switches.

A typical cold-and-dark start: Main Battery on, External Power or APU on, Beacon Light on, then Auto Start.

> **Do it by voice**
Say "APU on, beacon on" with the [AI Voice Commander](https://ifkits.com/wiki/ai-voice-commander/) [Pro].
