With the addition of
the FSFlyingSchool Baron 58 Detail Pack, your instructor will be looking at your
aircraft and your performance in it in a lot more detail.
The FSFlyingSchool
Baron 58 Detail Pack will engage when any aircraft is flown with that name in
its aircraft folder name in X-Plane.
If
using the Carenado Baron 58 then version 3.2 or higher of that aircraft should
be flown.
Mr Smith is the Baron 58 instructor - he is the one with expert
knowledge of this aircraft!
The following is a
list of different stages of flight in which events will cause your instructor to
talk to you, with specific reference to the Baron 58 you are
flying...
Starting and
Takeoff
Shortly after
flight starts on ground with master battery on
Estimate of current
fuel as a percentage of full.
Engine start
attempted and throttle not correctly set
Advice that throttle
should be open about 1/2 inch when starting.
Engine start
attempted and parking brake not set
Warning that parking
brake must be set when starting an engine.
Engine start
attempted with master battery switch off
Advice that the master
battery switch must be on when starting an engine.
Engine start
attempted with its alternator off
Advice that the
engine's alternator should be on before stating an
engine.
Shortly after
moving in taxi mode
Advice on which
instruments and systems should be checked during
taxiing.
In takeoff
mode with flaps lowered
Warning that you have
flaps down and that you must raise them to be correctly configured for take
off.
In takeoff
mode and on ground with autopilot on
Warning that autopilot
must be off during takeoff.
Shortly after
beginning takeoff
Advice to move
throttles smoothly up to full.
Shortly after
beginning takeoff
Advice that the nose
wheel can be lifted at 90 KIAS.
Shortly after
takeoff
Reminder that this
aircraft's 'vX' (Best Angle of Climb Speed) is 92 KIAS at sea level. Use this
speed to clear runway obstacles or to lift off from a soft field
quickly.
Shortly after
takeoff
Reminder that this
aircraft's 'vY' (Best Rate of Climb Speed) is 105 KIAS at sea level. Use this
speed to climb after takeoff in normal operations.
Shortly after
takeoff
Reminder that in this
aircraft you should normally turn with a 20 degree bank and when doing so you
will want to rollout about 20 degrees before your desired
heading.
Shortly after
takeoff
Advice that if you
encounter heavy turbulence you need to be at or below manoeuvring speed ('vA')
and to remember that this will decrease as you burn fuel.
Shortly after
takeoff
Advice to use right
rudder to correct for any unwanted yawing to the left caused by P factor and
torque.
Shortly after
takeoff
Advice in cruise climb
to set 25 inches manifold pressure and 2500 RPM.
Entering
cruise mode
Advice on manifold
pressure and RPM settings.
Descent and
Landing
Descending
and below maximum flap speed while landing
Advice that once below
152 KIAS the pilot may use 15 degrees of flaps.
Advice that once below
122 KIAS the pilot may use more than 15 degrees (15 or 30 degrees) of
flaps.
Descending
and decelerating to maximum flap speed while
landing
Advice that once below
152 KIAS the pilot may use 15 degrees of flaps.
Descent to
around 1000 feet AGL while landing with autopilot
on
Warning to disengage
the autopilot below 1000 feet during an approach in this
aircraft.
Descent to
around 600 feet AGL while landing
Advice to use pitch to
control airspeed and power to control rate of descent during approach and
landing.
Descent to
around 500 feet AGL while landing
Advice that you
typically want to land with full flaps and 85 knots IAS.
Descent to
around 400 feet AGL while landing
Reminder to flare at
about 10 to 15 feet above the runway and to lift the nose to land on your main
gear first, lower the nose wheel gently and use minimum braking
required.
Descent to
around 300 feet AGL while landing
Reminder that at about
10 to 15 feet above the runway you should reduce power to idle and
flare.
Shut
Down
Flaps not
fully retracted
Reminder to get flaps
up.
Mixture
controls not cutoff
Reminder to cut off
the mixture controls.
Avionics
master on
Advice to turn OFF
avionics master.
Magneto
switches not off
Reminder to turn
counterclockwise to OFF.
Alternators
not off
Advice to turn
alternators OFF.
Master
battery on
Advice to turn OFF
master battery.
General Warnings and
Advice
Avionics
master switch off and engine running or airborne
Advice that normal
operation requires the avionics master switch on.
Alternator
off and engine running and master battery on
Advice that normal
operation requires the alternator on.
Loss of
engine while airborne
Advice that the best
glide speed in this aircraft is 115 KIAS.
Loss of
engine while taking off
Reminder that this
aircraft's 'vXSE' (Best Angle of Climb Speed - Single Engine) is 100 KIAS at sea
level. Use this speed to clear runway obstacles or to lift off from a soft field
quickly.
Loss of
engine while taking off
Reminder that this
aircraft's 'vYSE' (Best Rate of Climb Speed - Single Engine) is 101 KIAS at sea
level. Use this speed to climb after takeoff from a normal field without
obstacles.
Shortly after
an engine has started
Reminder to check the
oil pressure.
Speed
approaching vNO
Reminder that you need
smooth air to fly into the yellow arc on your ASI, above 195 KIAS which is 'vNO'
(Maximum Structural Cruising Speed) for this aircraft. Note: our research found
that 195 KIAS is the correct speed regardless of what is shown on the ASI of
some simulated aircraft.
Speed
approaching vNE
Warning that you are
close to exceeding 223 KIAS which is 'vNE' (Never Exceed Speed) for this
aircraft.
Decreasing
speed approaching vSO
Warning that stall
speed with full flaps is 75 KIAS which is 'vSO' (Stalling Speed in Landing
Configuration) for this aircraft.
Decreasing
speed approaching vS
Warning that stall
speed with flaps up is 84 KIAS which is 'vS' (Stalling Speed with Flaps Up) for
this aircraft.
Left or right
fuel level is low
Warning that one or
both fuel tanks are getting low and you may wish to consider your refueling
options.
Flaps down
and flying too fast for any flaps
Advice that once below
152 KIAS the pilot may use 15 degrees of flaps.
Flaps down
and flying too fast for that particular flaps
setting
Advice that once below
122 KIAS the pilot may use more than 15 degrees (30 degrees) of
flaps.
Master
battery switched on
Estimate of current
fuel as a percentage of full.
Master
battery on and fuel level getting low
Estimate of current
fuel as a percentage of full as fuel falls below 50%, 25%, 10%, 5% and
3%.
Pitot heat
off and not taxiing and OAT below 4 degrees C
Reminder to use pitot
heat when OAT (outside air temperature) is below 4 degrees
C.
Pitot heat on
and taxiing or OAT not below 4 degrees C
Reminder to turn off
pitot heat when taxiing or when OAT (outside air temperature) is at or above 4
degrees C.
Yaw damper
not engaged in flight and neither taking off nor
landing
Reminder to turn on
yaw damper
Yaw damper
engaged on ground or during take off or landing
Reminder to turn off
