He loaded the flight pan into the box and acted as ATC. We called for departure, received clearance, and transferred to EWR tower. After briefing the EWR 5 departure and completing the before-takeoff checklist, we ensured the TO/GO mode was set, with LNAV and ALT modes queued. The simulator switched to LNAV mode at 500 feet and ALT mode within 300 feet of the target altitude, which in our case was 4000 feet. We followed the SOP callouts, but since we were hand-flying and had a low level-off, we added a few small adjustments to make things easier.
