2.Flight Lectures

To develop a basic knowledge of flying !
Did you hear lectures and boring?
Our aim is realistic flight simulator utilizing excellent "COMPUTER PILOT" is to become.
The shooting does not enjoy the game. So, this basic knowledge is very important. Please be sure to remember.

2.1."Pilot" and "maneuver"


Driving shaft 2 (XY axis), so as the actual operation will operate off the handle only the handlebars.
However, if the height of the plane (Z axis) axis that joined the three-axis (XYZ axis) direction and the operation becomes complicated.
A car "handle" one position (left, right go straight), but is determined to fly the "aileron", "Lift", "ladder" up and down by moving the three axes of left and right, make straight. "Fig-2.1" in "position" and "role"'ll see.
fig-2.1
Aileron and elevator, the operation control stick.
To move the control stick back and forth(Up and down the elevator) "pitch operation" is called.Rise, falling this can only "pitch operation".
Called a rolling(bank) operation to move the cntrol stick left and right(Aileron moves up and down*1).
he axis of rotation to the horizontal centerline of aircraft was operated in the direction control stick.
(Aileron operation alone, can not change direction as the car)
Also feet of the cockpit (if you have rudder control stick integrated twist direction) is attached to the rudder. By stepping to the left or right yaw (skid, slip), and turns around an axis perpendicular to the center line of aircraft operated.
(This is a unique aircraft, the yaw correction slip swivel adjustment, and use of the crosswind correction)
In summary the aircraft aileron, rudder, elevator use roll, pitch and yaw control is always (operations) to normal flight, climbing, descending and turning.
The car simply turning the handle to change direction (turn), but, the aircraft aileron, rudder turn be combined to operate the elevator (turn) is not. Please remember this well.
Also three elements of "manipulation" and "maneuver" Please repeat until the practice are integrated. Much higher power to improve your flying skills.
As an aside, when a 90 ° roll the rudder and elevator roles are reversed.
*1: Aileron aileron movement was defeated in the aileron control stick will move to the other side does the rise down contradictory.
Rotation will rotate the stick side to beat.

2.2.Flight instrument


There are many flight instruments as represented by the jet. Are you an amateur no clue what they are happening.
Operation of the airplane so, management will probably force something. In fact, the jet pilots must be able to understand this action of course.
But "Computer Pilot" when it comes to talking to the flight instruments as the minimum is different.
This chapter describes the instrument's minimum needs to fly.
The important point is "Direction", "attitude", "high", "speed" of the four elements.
Always check these four elements, if management "Excellent COMPUTER PILOT" as you acquire the basic. The-art aircraft, the radar, GPS, even if you know how to use it comes with electronic instruments(The hardship ... but this), such as more accurately, and automatically get to maneuver.
However, the school is "the basic operation of the flight," "Principles of Flight," to understand the study deliberately analog instrument.
(Cessna, if you fly enough during World War II fighter plane)

[Know the direction: direction indicator (compass / directional gyro)]
This instrument is an important indicator to know which direction the aircraft is flying now.Perspective, please remember to read well.
(The current plane is mostly GPS)
Heading Indicator
写真 Heading Indicator (aka: the compass) is 0 to 360deg in the direction.(The unit is universal)
(This example is a mechanism that turns the compass is fixed and the aircraft symbol in the middle)
"North 0 deg (360 deg)" "90 deg East" "180 deg South" "270 deg West"
fig-2.2.1
写真 During takeoff, the runway must be "runway" direction and "turning point" cruise time between points in the direction of the habit, please make sure you note.
You can always return Tadore vice versa. Also, watch the flight direction as to how to call the 12 o'clock position by far if fig-2.2.2 is sometimes called on all sides to resemble that of clock time.
This was a quick way to tell the location of wingman crew enemy fighter aircraft.
Enemy at 4:00! And say, indicates that the enemy aircraft approaching from the right rear of the direction of travel.
fig-2.2.2


[Position to know: turn indicator and artificial horizon]
 
This indicator lets you know the attitude of the airplane to the ground.
Attetude Indicator
写真 Artificial horizon is said to be white in the middle shows the plane W-shaped air shows in different colors and ground down from the horizontal line. Lean to match the current position of this view. While checking the steer this position at all times. Will be able to fly without looking at the outside will be able to maintain their posture while watching this instrument. In the clouds, flying at night will be a strong ally.
fig-2.2.3
Turn Coordinator
写真 The instrument's when the plane literally turn.
The plane takes a turn toward the bank angle sure to roll when turning.
When no slip harmonious bank angle and speed of (the slip) or skid (slip out) occurs.
In the tube right at the black circles (R) or left (L) Moves.
Knows that it does not turn in harmony.
Because of this slippage is monitored in turn can lead to stall, it must be fixed. Modification done in ladder.
fig-2.2.4

[Know the speed: Airspeed]

The altimeter should be careful is that it's the altitude above sea level.
Thus, when landing you need to consider the altitude of the airport.
(Aircraft equipped with radar can also measure the actual distance to the ground.)
Altin Indicator
写真 If the fig-2.2.5 analog barometric altimeter, such as rises in clockwise and counterclockwise in the fall.
In one rotation short needle 1000ft altitude display unit, a long needle that / 10 (100ft) and.
Units are ft (feet) represented by.
1ft = 0.3m (1 of about / 3)
Example.
Altitude 9900ft = 3000m (0.3 multiplied)
Altitude 2000m = 6600ft (3.3 multiplied)
fig-2.2.5

[Know the speed: Airspeed]

Because the plane is flying through the air, measure the speed of air flowing around it.
The ground is moving at the speed of the car as you.
The plane can fly without the wind always rises in the fall because the ground speed can not be depended on.
Airspeed Meter
写真 The principle of velocity measurement using a Pitot tube differential pressure normal.
Altitude (atmospheric pressure) must be adjusted by the error will be appeared.
The unit is currently kt (knots) are unified.

The "instrument" shape "features", "How to Display" is the model of each aircraft varies by age at all.
Please keep a closer look at pre-selected aircraft.

2.4.Selection of training aircraft

When selecting a point of the training aircraft, single engine (reciprocating) is recommended.
You will also notice the sudden urge to fly a jet, you should choose the first reciprocating aircraft can fly easier.
Because
・ It is simple instruments, (minimum).
・ I can feel the slow flight maneuver.
We recommend a typical software trainer.
Private aircraft aircraft training system "Microsoft Flight Simuretoer X" or "X-Plan" is selected from recommended.
Models of the aircraft "Cessna 172 Skyhawk (USA)" is recommended.
If you start the simulator from Combat Systems "UBISoft IL2 1946" or "Micorosoft Combat Flight Simuretoer 3" is recommended for the training aircraft.
The selection will be from the Second World War aircraft reciprocating Any Suppitofaia (UK) has empty body stability is easy to ride.
However, with the plane 60 years ago that said, the Cessna is a monster three times more horsepower too fast.Please be prepared to ride.
