It has little levers below the throttles that they call 'Condition Levers' but they're really more fuel on/off switches. There's a 'Fuel Cutoff' position, a 'Start' position and a 'Run' position if I remember correctly. Once they're in 'Run' you don't touch them until you're ready to shut down the engine.
This turboprop flies like a jet. You just push forward to go faster and pull them back to go slower. Very simple.

Here's a link for to a site that has a lot of info and profiles for ya. Most of there stuff is very close to Simuflite/Flight Safety materials. Most importantly follow whatever your instructors are teaching you. Like others have said....not too many of them running around the states. The only ones I've seen are two own by Joe Gibbs Racing for shuttling support personnel for race day.

The only things they kept original are the flimsy cup holders and non-too-effective chart holders... go figure

The cockpits of all of our airplanes were really clean. It was a point of pride among the pilots to take 30 seconds when you got into an airplane to just wipe down their area. If everyone does that, they stay clean.
There is no such mentality in the US, where the cockpits of most airplanes are filthy. I find this unfortunate, to say the least.
As everyone knows, practically everything in Switzerland is clean. The airplanes are no exception.

We had no ACARS in the airplanes and so no way to communicate with the company. Remember, this was 10+ years ago and cell phones, while everywhere, were still not quite as ubiquitous as they are today. And people didn't want to use their own phones. So the company put these Nokia cell phones in the airplane. I don't know if they had an plan that allowed them to only call the company or not, but theft was not an issue.
The batteries were changed out daily as part of the daily MX check when the mechanics would come by to do what they do.
It was a good way to keep in touch with the company. Forward thinking. Proactive thinking. Unlike many US companies.....
