It’s time to contact Okecie Clearance and ask for the IFR Clearance.
Flight permission akcnowledgement.
The controller instructs us to fly runway heading (329 degrees), climb to 8000 feet and set our transponder to 1634 (this will be done automatically on our radio panel). We should select “Read back IFR clearance” and then contact Okecie Ground (as soon as we are ready to taxi).
Before we do it though, we should switch on the taxi lights, set the autopilot course and heading to 328, set the altitude to 8000 feet, speed to 160 knots and lower flaps to 5 degrees (on various websites you can find many operating manuals and checklists for many aircraft, there you’ll find recommended flap configurations for both takeoffs and landings).
Now we contact Okecie Ground and receive instructions to taxi to runway 33 (and holding before entering it) via taxiways: A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, H2, B6, B7, B8. We should push back the aircraft using the Shift + P keys (brakes must be released prior to the pushback). When our aircraft is pushed by approximately one length, we stop the pushback pressing the Shift + P keys again.
Taxi instructions.
Well, but how to find those taxiways? If you don’t feel like searching for airport charts (because you want to go right away!), we can use the Progressive Taxi aid and follow the taxiing line overlain on the ground.
Taxiing to the runway.
Note the aircraft should not taxi too fast (idle rolling is usually enough).
