  • A Qualified Flying Instructor who spent 5 years flying from RAF Linton-on-Ouse takes you on a typical low level sortie around the North York Moors. Using the incredible realism of Microsoft Flight Sim (including many enhancements) and substituting the Tucano for a PC-21: you'll get a feeling for local landmarks; low level techniques; diverting to Teeside International as well as finding RAF Topcliffe and the Topcliffe-Linton transit. Lots to cover, I hope you enjoy!

That brought back a lot of memories ... flying from Linton, aeros over Malton (indeed my location of choice, or over Flamingoland if Malton was busy), run in past Easingwold to name but a few. Also a lot of big changes, particularly with the aircraft. The PC-21 looks like a beautiful little beast to fly, and a world away from the old JP3. I remember it being rather more sparse, avionics-wise, but still a lot of fun.

    RE: "Birds like water and airplanes don't like birds." We were staying onboard NAS Pensacola (Old Bronson Field, Blue Angel Recreation Park) and as a Dallas firefighter, I visited the crash house at Sherman Field. One of the buds scooped me up and we drove the field. It was part tour and part FOD policing.
    I don't know how he saw it, but my colleague spotted a .45 ACP casing. He stopped and picked it up. He then explained that the deer were a problem on the field (they were all over BAP where we were staying). He asked if I heard gun shots at night and I hadn't. He explained that there were watches where the personnel would patrol and fire a blank every time they saw a deer to chase it off.
    The impetus was a night recovery evolution and one of the last T-6As with a student and instructor had touched down and were past the commitment point when their landing lights illuminated a big doe on the runway. There was no avoiding and I asked him how the aviators were. He said, "Well, we totaled a deer, T-6 and two flight suits. But they were otherwise okay." The "..two flight suits." Made me nearly choke on my coffee. 😂

    I picked up the PC-21 a couple of days ago - well, it's yet another MSFS aircraft that has no mass :( you move the stick, something happens immediately, you stop moving the stick, things stop happening immediately, you hit some minor turbulence & it moves around instantly ( the JF aircraft do this too ) - not really any sense of mass in motion. Otherwise aside from the cockpit texturing needing some depth & a little wear, it's a pretty nice plane.
    It's not actually set up as a turboprop though, is it? there's no prop or torque effects, and when I got it into a rather vicious flat spin there was no prop wash over the rudder to help get out of it. ( I think I eventually put the flaps out, ruddered into it & pulled back, and somehow that turned it into a diving roll oO ).
    JF Hawk has an update imminently, apparently.
    Great vid! did you ever use the rudder at low level:? I'm aware of the easing the stick approach to dropping the nose in a turn, but sometimes that isn't always the best idea!

    • @cgaviator
      @cgaviator  Рік тому +2

      To put a couple of issues to rest, turboprops like this are powerful yet still relatively light. A combination of straight wings and decent ailerons will have it rolling instantly with stick input. As for the torque effect, I did question this but then I learnt about TAD. It is a system that provides rudder inout to automatically offset torque effect. This way it has more fast jet like handling. Alien to me and my Tucano days but clever. In the Tucano at low level rudder wasn’t really required at the high speeds so long as you’re in trim. Finally, the rudder effectiveness is a bug that hopefully they’ll fix by using proper CFD rather than a standard flight dynamics option. The rudder yaws the aircraft but has little effect on direction. They accepted this issue as the rudder isn’t really used for much other than stall turns. But it also means no change in handling with TAD switched off. I’m on the Hawk testing team so I’ll check back in about updates. But I think they’re waiting for more options in the MSFS CFD. Hope that answers a lot of the questions? Happy simming

    A very good and interesting video! My problem is I can not get the ILS to work. I tune in the frequency also in the fmc then I go to nav 1 (turned in to green not magneta as in your video) but I don't see a glideslope and localizer. The needle does't turn. Coul you help me? Thank-you !

      I’m not sure to be honest. Just ensure it’s the correct frequency. Try a different approach perhaps, different airfield.

    Chris, I bought the Iris Texan 11 having watched your PFL video in it. I have just enjoyed this video. Linton on Ouse was my first controlling tour 1986 to 1987. Tucson was introduced while I was there. JP my 3 and Mk 5 I really liked the Mk3. I digress, my version of the Texan doesn’t have the rear mirrors on the combing / glare shield around the instrument panel it has them mounted on the canopy frame, also I don’t have an FMC, do I have a different version? Or is there a mod or different selection to make? Thanks again, I am loving your videos and slowly will work through them. Is there a planning module setup video for the Texan? I have just seen, I bought the Texan, should have gone for the PC 21, I will have to now get the PC 21!

    Hi can I just ask - why did you fly upside down to decend? Couldn’t you have just pushed the stick forwards?

    • @cgaviator
      @cgaviator  Рік тому

      You can do that but fighter pilots generally prefer to keep positive g on the jet for a few reasons. The oil system needs positive g to circulate the oil around the engine and keep the propellor pitch control full (the latter was an issue for Tucano). It also provides visibility under the aircraft if descending quickly. The human body is better at dealing with positive g over negative. And lastly because it’s fun! 😂 Sometimes in the sim I’m overly aggressive and if I’m inverted at low level then technically that’s illegal. If gentle flying at altitude, or IMC, then pushing is preferred. Hope that answers your question?
