Hi,
Running the Apollo 15 scenario, and just achieved orbit. The PAMFD Post Orbital Insertion checklist instructs you to turn off the CM RCS PRPLNT 1 & 2, and check both talkbacks barberpoled (I don't see this step in the Apollo 15 or AOH checklists). Later we run the CM RCS Monitoring Checklist, and we have to turn them back on. On previous flights that I've run (A8 and A11) I think these switches were off throughout the flight until prior to reentry, but I don't see yet where they get turned off. Did I miss a step?
And, in this scenario I guess I'm also MCC and have to generate the SV's and PADs manually. I grabbed the first SV using the PAMFD SV function, and it seemed to uplink OK. For the TLI PAD I'm using the RTCC MFD. and that looks OK. What about the T+90 and TLI+4 Abort PADs? I'm not seeing a way to generate those (and fingers crossed they won't be needed anyway). Any other tips or advice on how to be my own MCC?
Thanks.
