In-cockpit landing, breaking through vortex ring


Recommended Posts

I thought this might be interesting for you all to see - a clip filmed within the cockpit, focusing on the pilot during landing.

... and we hear parking brake sound very loudly.

Hmm. May be I selected wrong word. Isn't it like a hydraulic sound that we hear right after squeezing the lever?

Hello guys,

 

and we hear parking brake sound very loudly.

 

Devrim at 9:26 we can hear the "wheel brake" and at 9:28 we can see the pilote press the button for the "parking brake" but I can't hear the sound, no ?

 

But I found this video very awesome, a real tutorial...

 

Thanks for this great video.

Because (in my opinion) by squeezing brake, he has already increased the hydraulic pressure. After that he has just pressed button, that's it. The hydraulics are still in high pressure.

Nice vid indeed... only there was no vortex ring, the landing was done correctly. The turbulence you see is exiting ETL, not VRS.

 

Thanks for the correction. :)

Nice video, good to see the MI-8 shake in transition.

I miss the loud hydraulic brake.

HP G2 Reverb, Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate as standard. OpenXR user, Open XR tool kit disabled. Open XR was a massive upgrade for me.

DCS: Pixel Density 1.0, Forced IPD at 55 (perceived world size), 0 X MSAA, 0 X SSAA. My real IPD is 64.5mm. Prescription VROptition lenses installed. VR Driver system: I9-9900KS 5Ghz CPU. XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC at the mo. MT user  (2 - 5 fps gain). DCS run at 60Hz.

Vaicom user. Thrustmaster warthog user. MFG pedals with damper upgrade.... and what an upgrade! Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height with brail enhancements to ensure 100% button activation in VR.. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound.... you know when you are dropping into VRS with this bad boy.

Guys, I may be wrong, but that parking brake on the Mi-8 isn't air operated? At least that sound cannot be heard on hydraulic systems AFAIK. Like a big truck, (well older one), whose brake system is air operated and not fluid (hydraulic) like in a car. So in case it is hydraulic, we shouldn't hear anything at all. If it is air operated, well it depends how far the buffer tank is located from the cockpit but it definitely should have a distinguishable sound like what we had... But then we should have the air compressor sound aswell, if it is not far from the cockpit :)

2-7 Landing Gear

 

The landing gear system is a tricycle configuration consisting of two non-retractable main landing gear (M/L/G) and a nose landing gear (N/L/G). A fixed tail strut is mounted at the base of the vertical stabilizer to prevent the tail rotor from striking the ground during takeoff and landing. The nose and main gear, and the tail strut have hydraulic/nitrogen shock struts to absorb normal and high impact landings. The main gear wheels are equipped with pneumatic disc brakes. The brakes are applied by squeezing the brake lever on the pilot’s cyclic stick.

The brakes are disengaged by releasing the brake lever. A retainer holds the lever in the engaged position for parking. Pressure in the main brake line is indicated on the MA-60 BRAKE PRESSURE gauge on the pilot’s left side console. When the brakes are applied, the pressure should be 30 to 36 kgf/cm2.

Pressure reading on the gauge should be zero when the brakes are released.

Google "TSMO-Dash-10-(TM-1-1520-Mi-17-10,-Apr-07).pdf", you can find official manual.

Everything is possible except skiing through revolving doors.

Those are pneumatic brakes. ;)

I'm also doing rotor tracking so I got about an hour of stick time today. It's fun, but after a while I just get sick of it. (rotor smoothing, not flying)

 

EDIT: I'm just glad I have something substantive to offer. I was initially "hired" by Wags to help test the upcoming AH-64A module....but everything was subject to change then, too....and it did.
