Starting the Constellation's engines:

Engage the magnetos for the engines you wish to start by setting the
switches above the pilot seat to "Both". From the engineer's station,
locate the "MJB No. 1" panel to the upper left. Turn on the ship's
battery or ground cart battery. Turn on all generator switches. Below
that panel, find the "MJB No. 2" panel. Turn the "Engine Starter Select"
switch to the engine you want to start. Press "Start" and watch your
gauges for the engine to catch. Repeat for all 4 engines.

________________________Procedures_________________________
Takeoff :
Open cowl flaps 100%.
flaps 60%.
56.5 inHg, 2900 RPM.  Note: this is not full throttle!
120 KIAS (light load) or 130 KIAS (full load): rotate
165 KIAS: gear up
184 KIAS: flaps up

Climb :
48.0 inHg, 2600 RPM.  Note: this is not full throttle!
Cowl flaps 60%
Maintain 190 KIAS.
Above 3600 ft, lean mixture gradually to keep BMEP as high as possible.
Open throttle gradually to maintain 48 inHg.
Watch cylinder head temperature; open cowl flaps as necessary.

When throttle is wide open and manifold pressure drops below 48 inHg
(approximately 9000 ft), reduce throttle and engage supercharger high speed
then adjust throttle to keep 48 inHg.

Cruise :
223 KIAS at 20000 ft, 218 KIAS at 21000 ft
45 inHg, 2300 RPM.  With throttle wide open, adjust RPM to control speed.
Reduce RPM further as your ship becomes lighter.
Close cowl flaps.

Descent :
max pitch, 48.0 inHg or less as necessary.
Gradually enrich mixture to keep BMEP maximized.
Engage supercharger low speed below 9000 ft.

Approach :
184 KIAS: flaps 60%
165 KIAS: gear down
161 KIAS: flaps 66%
154 KIAS: flaps 80%
148 KIAS: flaps 100%

Landing :
maintain 120 kt (landing load);
touch down 110 kt (landing load), 100 kt (empty load).

________________________Emergency_________________________
Put out fire :
At Engineer View:

Mixture  lever for this engine down
Throttle lever for this engine down

Restart after fire :
Magnetos for this engine to both
Mixture max. (or same as others)
Throttle max. (or same as others)
Starter switch to the engine no....
and restart with S or starter button
