GENERAL SYSTEM NOTES
This section details notes and warnings that apply to the systems of the aircraft as simulated.
Care shall be taken to avoid unsafe operation.
7.4.1.
Fuel system
The fuel system includes:
-
Two Wing Tip Tanks (capacity: 72 litres each)
-
Two Main Wing Tanks (capacity: 137 litres each)
-
One Fuselage Collector Tank (capacity: ~ 1 litre)
Fuel is gravity fed to the collector tank, from the main wing tanks. The tip tanks are
interconnected with the main wing tanks
-
Engines feed ONLY from the collector tank
-
Always refuel the main tanks first. If more fuel is needed, fuel the tip tanks.
-
The collector tank is equipped with valves for inverted flight.
Inverted flight is
limited to 30s to avoid collector tank exhaustion and engine fuel starvation.
7.4.2.
Heating system
Windshield frosting is simulated. Operate the Windshield Defrost lever as required.
7.4.3.
Flight Controls
In this aircraft, airbrakes provide positive lift. They shall be deployed for landing.
-
Airbrakes down and flaps up is not a normal approach configuration.
Elevator Trim requires setting before take-off:
-
Set elevator trim 25% UP with 2 occupants
-
Set elevator trim 12% UP with 1 occupant
7.4.4.
Weight and Balance
Pilot and Co-pilot models will display in accordance to the weight and balance as entered in
Flight Simulator:
Weight (lbs)
Model Displayed
0 to 80
Empty seat
80 to 137
Female
137 upwards
Male
Setting unrealistic values will result in inability to trim the aircraft, and possible pitch
instability / elevator authority saturation.
7.4.5.
Conditions at Simulation start-up.
When starting a flight from the gate/parking, the aircraft will be “Cold & Dark”, fully shut
down.
When starting inflight, the aircraft is set-up for safe continuation of flight.
