Default Looking for official procedures for flying a small aircraft (PC-6 Porter)

Hi all,

I'm looking for a complete, exact, correct checklist which shows me when
everything has to be done from pre-start to securing the aircraft. If
possible a checklist for the Pilatus PC-6 Porter B2-H2 (land AND amphibian,
with a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-27 engine, specs. No. 583, and a Hartzell
Propeller, hub model HC-B3TN-3D and blade model T-10178 C). But another
checklist for a similar aircraft (turboprop!) would be nice too. Because I
also have general questions.

Simple questions like: when do you put the lights on (beacon, strobe,
landing, taxi) and off? But also more Porter specific things like when do
you use the Fuel Booster (only at start-up or also during take off and
landing? And if so, when exactly do you turn it on or off?)

I am not a pilot (otherwise I guess I would have known this all)!!! I'm a
flightsim nut who likes to get things as real as possible... I'm hoping
someone here can give me the info or direct me to a site which contains this
info. And no, I haven't found this info on the official Pilatus sites or
ANYWHERE else... So I'm really hoping someone here, maybe a REAL Porter
pilot, can help me! (Or maybe someone can tell me another Usenet group where
this question also could be asked, in case I'm in the wrong place...)

Cya!
