SimCheck Airbus A300B4-200 Aerosoft GmbH 2010 8 INTRODUCTION This Quickstart manual contains need-to-know information about the SimCheck A300B4-200 implementation and will get experienced sim-pilots up and flying quickly. If you want to dig further into the complete manual and check lists, then please read the “normal procedures” manual or do the tutorial flight, and check out the panel orientation manual, which are also included in the SimCheck A300B4-200 package. 9 STARTING THE AIRCRAFT FOR THE FIRST TIME Before you start-up FSX make sure you have the most recent version of FSUIPC installed (the panel has been tested with version 4.581). The panel will not run properly without it! To download FSUIPC go to http://www.schiratti.com/dowson, note that you do NOT need to buy a license for FSUIPC for the panel to work properly! After installing FSUIPC, start-up FSX. Load a flight using one of the default FSX aircraft (preferably the C172) and make sure the avionics and master switch are turned on. Then switch to the SimCheck A300B4-200. Now save the flight and use this saved situation next time you want to load the SimCheck A300B4-200. The SimCheck A300 is a complicated simulation and FSX doesn’t always like complicated add-ons. To avoid any problems during loading we strongly advice to first load the default Cessna 172 after starting up FSX and then load the SimCheck A300. SimCheck Airbus A300B4-200 Aerosoft GmbH 2010 10 2D PANEL OVERVIEW AND LIMITATIONS We have tried to make this panel as real as it gets, some (but not many) compromises had to be made however to make the panel usable for single pilot operations. All the systems have been simulated but some parts of the Flight Engineer (F/E) panel where not recreated. Note: This panel does not work properly with FSX Shared Cockpit. In order to get so many gauges and systems integrated into the panel we have created 9 sub-panels, all the sub-panels can be reached with the panel switcher that is located in the top left corner of the 2D panel. If the panel switcher is hidden behind the menu bar, the press and hold the <alt-gr> button for a few seconds this will hide the FSX menu bar. Pressing <alt-gr> again will reload the menu bar. Note: In some non-English version of FSX pressing the <alt> key will also work. Figure 1: Panel-switcher The following key-shortcuts can be used: Shift-1 or 1: main captains panel Shift-2 or 2: FO panel Shift-3 or 3: hydraulics, brake temperature gauge and F/E engine instruments Shift-4 or 4: electrics panel Shift-5 or 5: overhead panel Shift-6 or 6: throttle quadrant Shift-7 or 7: fuel panel (with fuel dump), APU control panel and pitot heat switches Shift-8 or 8: pneumatics panel with packs controls, cabin pressurization system and temperature control Shift-9 or 9: communications panel Extra window: re-fuel/de-fuel gauge 11 FLIGHT PREPARATION Before every flight you have to make sure you have enough fuel on board! To calculate the correct flight time, fuel needed and optimum flight level, the SimCheck A300B4-200 package includes the A300B4-configurator. A few things to keep in mind when loading fuel into the SimCheck A300B4-200: fuel must be loaded from outside to inside. So first the outer • tanks (external 1 and 2), then the main wing tanks and finally the centre tank (will be done automatically with the fuel loader) the first hour of the flight (including the climb) will consume • approximately 19 000 lbs of fuel, the following hours, fuel consumption will be around 14 000 lbs. So for a 2 hour flight, with 30 minute diversion time, 30 minutes holding fuel and 15 minutes contingency fuel you will need to load: 1x 19000 lbs 2,25x 14000 lbs = 50500 lbs Treibstoff This is a slight exaggeration of the fuel consumption because during descent less fuel will be used. Better to have some extra fuel onboard however than to be a few pounds short! normal cruising speed for the A300 is M.78 or approximately • 450kts TAS if you can, use a flight planner that takes the current weather • into account. Upper winds can have a very significant effect on the time of the flight and you shouldn’t simply extrapolate the ground distance to time of flight For more information about using the “A300B4 Configurator”, please read the manual that is included with the installation. SimCheck Airbus A300B4-200 Aerosoft GmbH 2010 12 LOADING FUEL Re-fuelling and de-fuelling can be done directly from the panel or by calling a fuel truck. Re/de-fuelling can only be performed: while on the ground with the engines switched off ! On the main fuel panel (shift-7) click on the REFUEL/DEFUEL zone to open or close the refuel gauge. Power up the re/de-fuel gauge with the ON/OFF switch. Figure 2: Fuel-loader The yellow number (2) shows the current amount of fuel in all tanks, the red number (1) is the requested amount. You can increase/decrease the requested amount by right/left clicking the left or right section of the red number. Once the desired amount has been set, select fast or slow to set the speed at which the fuelling is done and press “START”. Norm loading more or less reflects loading speed as one would encounter in real life, Fast loading is double the normal speed. The fuel will now be added or drained using the optimal filling process (outside tanks first), this can take some time as a lot of fuel needs to be drained or added ! 13 ESTABLISHING ELECTRICAL POWER AND PNEUMATIC (FOR ENGINE START) There are a number of ways to establish electrical power and air without actually starting the engines: DC power can be provided by the batteries; AC by using the • DC/AC inverters. Battery power alone will give you approximately 30 minutes of power. No pneumatic pressure will be available though: You need an air source for that external power and air• APU power and bleed air • External power and air Using the batteries is pretty straightforward so let’s skip that and look at how you can connect external power and air. Note: To be able to connect external power the aircraft has to be on the ground. Open the set-up subpanel and click on the button next to • “GROUND MENU” Figure 3: Set-up main menu Click on the button next to CONN.EXT.PWR/AIR to connect both • external power (electrics) and air and close the set-up panel SimCheck Airbus A300B4-200 Aerosoft GmbH 2010 14 Figure 4: Connect external power and air In der Außensicht ist die GPU jetzt zu sehen. Now open the electrics panel and turn on the external power • switch, note that the EXT PWR AVAILBLE light should be on, the EXT PWR ON light will only come one after external power is established. Engine and APU power take precedence over external power so when either of these is available the EXT PWR ON will not come on. Figure 5: External power switch 15 APU Power To start the APU you need: Electrical power (can be provided by the batteries) and fuel in the left wing tanks or the right wing tanks but then you have to make sure that fuel is cross fed from the right tanks to the left tanks. Open the fuel panel (<Shift-7>), on the top right hand side you • see the APU panel. Figure 6: APU section on fuel panel To start the APU, first move the MASTER SWITCH to the ON • position Next press the START button. The button will light up bright • blue and the APU start-up sequence will be completed automatically SimCheck Airbus A300B4-200 Aerosoft GmbH 2010 16 Figure 7: APU start sequence Once the APU is up and running, close the fuel panel and open • the electrics panel (<Shift-4>) Turn on the electrical power from the APU by moving the • switch to the ON position 17 Figure 8: Connect the APU generator On the bleed panel (<Shift-8>) make sure the APU bleed air • switch is in the AUTO or OPEN position SimCheck Airbus A300B4-200 Aerosoft GmbH 2010 18 Figure 9: APU bleed switch in „AUTO“ Once electrical power and bleed air are available you can start • the engines (see below). If you have many electrical users on, you might get a generator overload error, to avoid this turn the load shed switch to SHED 19 SPEED BUGS Once the fuel and cargo or passengers are loaded you can either enter the current gross weight manually or via a hidden click zone into the gross weight gauge. Bild 10: Gross Weight Gauge mit verborgenem Klickspot Once the correct weight has been loaded into the gauge, a second hidden click zone can be pressed to automatically calculate and set the V-bugs on the airspeed indicator (ASI). Bild 11: Verborgener Klickspot um die Speed Bugs zu setzen Clicking this hidden zone while on the ground will set the V-bugs to the following speeds: SimCheck Airbus A300B4-200 Aerosoft GmbH 2010 20 White: V1 • Speed up to which the pilot can decide to abort the take-off following critical failure (e.g. engine fire): Either to continue the take-off run within the limits of available takeoff runway length, or to stop the aircraft within the limits of available runway length. After V1 the pilot has to continue with the takeoff. Note: The gauge makes the calculations based on a 8500 feet runway. Orange speed bug: V2 • Takeoff safety speed reached before the altitude of 35 feet with one engine failed Green: V3 • Equal to 1.2x Vs (stall speed) with slats extended/flaps 0°. It is the minimum speed at which the flaps may be raised to 0° during the level acceleration at safety height after an engine failure after V1 Yellow: V4 • Equal to 1.25x Vs of slats 0°/flaps 0°. It is the minimum speed at which the slats may be retracted to 0° in the same situation as V3 on one engine Red: VFTO • Final take-off speed to be reached on one engine at the end of the level acceleration and allowing best climb. On the A300B4 this is equal to 1.45x Vs in clean configuration. De facto this should be used as the minimum clean speed when requested by ATC When airborne, clicking the hidden click zone on the ASI will set the bugs to the following speeds: Red: VFTO• Yellow: V4• Green: V3• Orange: not set automatically, has to be set via the auto-• throttle speed window White: Vapp (approach speed). Minimum landing speed using • in full flaps/slats configuration and in zero-wind conditions 21 You can also manually drag the speed bugs to the desired position. To do so, left click on the location of the speed bug you want to drag and move the bug while pressing down the left mouse button. Figure 12: Click and drag speedbugs MAXIMUM SPEEDS The A300 is quite sensitive to overspeed situations with flaps extended. Maximum slat speed: 250 kts• Maximum speed flap 8: 215 kts• Maximum speed flap 15: 200 kts• Maximum speed flap 25: 180 kts• Overspeed will result in a clacker sound warning.• SimCheck Airbus A300B4-200 Aerosoft GmbH 2010 22 PARKING BRAKES The parking brakes in the A300B4-200 are fed by a subsystem of the YELLOW hydraulic system. The yellow system is pressurized by the right engine (engine number 2) and a minimum pressure is required before the parking brakes will work. Off course it wouldn’t make sense if you had to start the engines before the parking brakes could be set, therefore an AC driven electrical pump was installed to pressurize the brake accumulator (the same system is used in many aircraft like the Bae146). Figure 13: Yellow accu pressure indicator and button If the Yellow accu pressure is below 1500 psi, establish AC power and keep the ELEC PUMP push button depressed until the pressure reaches about 3000 psi. In the actual aircraft this should give you approximately 10 hours of parking brake action. In the panel I have reduced this to about 1 hour. The yellow accu pressure is passed from one flight to the next so when you save a flight and come back your aircraft a few days later the yellow accu pressure will be where it was at the end of the last session. 23 ENGINE START Once all the pre-start preparations have been finished (load cargo/PAX, fuel, created a flight plan, programmed the INS, etc…) and you have received start-up clearance, you can start the engines ! Open the overhead panel (shift-5), the engine start gauge is located more or less in the middle of the panel Move the ENG START rotating switch to start system A or B. Moving the ARM switch to ARM will initiate the start sequence. This will automatically close the packs valves and the start pushbuttons are lit for about 3 seconds. Once the start lights are extinguished they can be pressed. We will start engine 2 first because this will provide pressure to the yellow hydraulic system (parking brake again), make sure the cross bleed rotating switch on the air bleed panel is set to any setting but CLOSED. Pressing the start button will admit air to the starter by the start valve. At approximately 20% N2 (main panel), open the fuel supply to the respective engine (pedestal panel Shift-6) and engine start will be completed. Opening fuel at 20% should result in a smooth engine start. The starter will automatically close at 45% N2. Now engine 1 can be started using the same procedure. In fact the APU or the external air source can now be turned off as bleed air can be used from engine 2 for starting engine 1. SimCheck Airbus A300B4-200 Aerosoft GmbH 2010 24 MAXIMUM AND OPTIMUM CRUISE LEVEL The “Status” page of the set-up panel shows the optimum and maximum cruising level for the current gross weight and selected Mach cruising speed. Figure 14: Set-up panel „Status“ page The top line of the status page shows the current gross weight (in pounds), the optimum and maximum cruising levels for either M.78, M.80 and M.82 cruising speed, the current hydraulic fluid levels for the Green, the Blue and the Yellow system and the present cabin altitude. 25 Autoflight System: Autopilot and Autothrottle Figure 15: Automatic flight control system Finally a word on the autoflight system. This system is somewhat different from the standard Boeing and Airbus autopilots that you are probably used to. The A300 has 2 autopilots (AP) and two flight directors (FD’s). In fact the FD’s are the primary instruments that provide information to the autopilots. The active autopilot mode can only be read from the failure and performance indicator (FPI). Figure 16: FPI GENERAL The AP cannot be engaged while on the ground, the FD’s can be however, and the FD bars will already show on the ground. Since the AP uses electricity, the automatic pitch trim system, the yaw dampers and the hydraulic systems, you have to make sure all of these are available (at least 1 yaw damper and 1 pitch trim needs to be engaged) before you can engage the AP. To engage the auto-throttle (A/T) for take-off, the N1 computer has to be selected to Take Off (TO) or Flex Take Off (FLX TO) mode. SimCheck Airbus A300B4-200 Aerosoft GmbH 2010 26 Figure 17: N1 Computer with TO and FLX TO mode selected On the ground only N1 A/T mode is available, once airborne both N1 and Speed mode are available. Note: The Master warning panel includes a hidden click zone to turn off the THR OFF warning lights. Figure 18: Click zone to turn off THR OFF warning 27 HIDDEN CLICK ZONES ON AFCS PANEL The autopilot can be controlled by the mouse and each settings can be changed by clicking either the left or the right mouse button changing the selected field by either +/- 1/100 or +/- 10/1000.
