Raffi75

Is there anything known or has anything moved on this topic?

When communicating with ATC, selecting message F1 switches the radio station selector from R-863 (UK1) to NF (UK2). Is it just me or has anyone else encountered this?

Ok. I didn't understand your statement in the previous post. The translation is faulty. English is not my language. It translated cartridge as "nabój" (ammunition), not a "kaseta z flarami" cartridge (flare cassette).

I don't know what you're talking about. What cartridges, what switching? HappyVoo asked, if I understood correctly, to add the use of ASO from the pilot's cockpit. I was looking for this myself once, because it's not clearly named in the settings. Now I have no problem with it. I start the helicopter and use it when I need it. The only thing I ask Petrovitch to do is set the sequence or set from which side the ASO should shoot. Why complicate things. ps. One more small detail, ASO-2W is started electrically, 27V.

In the options you'll find it as Launch Countermeasures (left side panel). By default it seems to be assigned to insert/delete.

Yes. I turn off YAW before takeoff (I do the same in Mi-8), I only turn it on when I have a set flight course and I know it will be a longer route. 1 - To fly straight, you have to counteract the drag pedals slightly, so that the ball (turn & slip indicator) is in the middle. Otherwise, you will fly with a slight traverse.

You set the helicopter position you need, press the trimmer. You can make minor corrections using the mushroom on the stick (trimming). With the trimmer on, you can still use the control stick. If you want the new position to be remembered, press the trimmer again. The second function, as the name suggests, is used to set the trimmer to a neutral position. Generally, the trimmer (button) was used on long flight routes so that the pilot would not get tired. During takeoff or landing, or for minor corrections during maneuvers, the mushroom on the stick is used.

I have several instructions/documents I look at when I have any doubts. I will also gladly know your work.

I will only add that during flight along the route at cruising speed (260 km/h), the helicopter is tilted from about -5° to even -10°, which also causes a change in the wing pitch. A few paragraphs earlier in the same instructions, we have it stated that the wing relieves the main rotor by 21-23% at the inlet at cruising speed and the maximum permissible speed.

Amazing. After two years. Data for Mi-24D, where there is no division into left and right wing: -Wing angle relative to the horizontal fuselage mounting: 19°. -Transverse V of the wing: 12°. Below is the table: Dependence of lift (Cz sk) and drag (Cx sk) coefficients on the angle of attack (α sk). Document: Mi-24A and Mi-24D helicopter, Practical aerodynamics.

My Polish pilots will now be complete. I changed the notepad to make it more useful and the watch face to one used in the Polish army. Regards

Hello again. I decided to go a step further. I'm still wondering if it's possible to edit faces in the cockpit view? Regards

Honestly, I didn't know where to add this. Since it's the Mi-24 crew, I decided to post it in this thread. 49th Combat Helicopter Regiment, circa 2005. 49th Air Base, present.

I found a photo I took in 2009.

AI cooperation in the crew would be something.

What sense would that make?

I have similar feelings. Especially when it comes to soviet equipment. Analog cockpits are very atmospheric. In glass cockpits I feel uneasy and get a little lost. ps. The first improvement of navigation information in the Mi-24 for the pilot in Poland was the assembly of GPS Garmin GNC. The cartographer was left in place.

I am pleasantly surprised. 6500m AI-9W cannot be started, 5000m the same. Only at 4200m I could start the engine.

The instructions for the AI-9W state: „The uninterrupted operating time of the engine in the generator mode /power supply of the on-board electrical installation with direct current of no more than 3kW/ should be ...... no more than 30 min, after which the engine must be switched off and cooled down in no less than 15 min." It follows from this that the engine's operating limit is the temperature it reaches during operation. I also found an interesting entry that will have to be checked in the DCS. „Maximum operating altitude of the engine in the air and on the ground /starting the AI-9W engine, receiving air needed to start the helicopter's main engines or work in the generator mode/...... 4000 m."
