Ka-50 BS2 questions

[Vinny002]

Hi, guys!

 

On the Ka-50 BS2, the main artificial horizon is not working. Is there a switch somewhere in the cockpit to turn on the main artificial horizon. I turned on the gyro/mag/manual heading switch but the main articial horizon won't turn on. Please see attached. Thanks!

 

Cheers,

Vincent

You may want to check if you have turned on these systems: EKRAN/HYDRAULICS POWER, ABRIS POWER, STANDBY ATTITUDE INDICATOR (SAI), K-041 SHKVAL POWER... Or you can check this amazing checklist by SDeath here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=35571&highlight=Black+Shark+Checklist I recommend you using it so that you don't forget anything and be able to make proper operations. I hope this helps!

EDIT: You might wanna use the „Print Screen“ function instead of taking pictures of your screen next time :D

As your shkvall is switched off on your screen, i think you forgot the K-041.

So maybe you also forgot something else listed above ;)

The "Navigation System Power" Switch on the right wall panel, and "K-041 Shval/Nav power" on the left knee panel are synonymous where NAV Power is concerned. I've used both and have never noticed a difference in the NAV systems if I use one switch before the other during startup. The "Navigation System Power" is the first thing I turn on after Radios, Fire Ext., Ejection, INU Power... since it's conveniently located to those switch clusters. I also 'imagine' that my Shkval shouldn't be powered up until after INU Alignment... but I don't know if that's the case. Take notice, for what it's worth, that the auto startup sequence uses the K-041 power instead of the Navigation System Power (which is left off).

 

I'd encourage reading the manual all the way through. The KA-50 can be click learned.. after much toil. but why, when it only takes a day or two of light reading to read through the manual to make it a 'subconscious foundation for future reference', as is the goal of tech manuals.

 

KA50 Manual 6-17:

To operate the HSI, electrical power will need to be enabled and the either the "K-041" or "Navigation System" switch must be set to ON. The HSI will operate after INU alignment is complete.
