N37ST. My personal wishlist concerning the appearance: Starting the engines of the Twin Otter can be done in two different ways: First, using the Autostart button, which is absolutely NOT recommended because it's extremely unrealistic! This plane is nimble and can operate in adverse conditions. The Aircraft Fuel Locking Cap provides an adequate locking method for improved security to the Aircraft by reducing the risk of deliberate fuel contamination. Aux battery bus: Uses a auxiliary 3.6 ampere-hour battery to support the starter motors when starting the engines. It feeds the DC voltmeter, hydraulic pump, prop auto-feather system, fire detection system, primary boost pumps (forward and rear), "R GEN FAIL" caution light, Right 28V DC bus: Is driven by right engine's generator. To keep the STOL abilities of the Otter, the DHC-6 got two powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 turboprop engines with 410 kW produced by each turbine in the first version, the DHC-6-100. (The pitot tubes are approximately at eye level in front of the left and right cockpit doors), Check the nose gear (wheel, damper, taxi lamp) for damage and tire pressure, Remove the engine cover, or you won't be able to start the engines, Check the wing, landing light, aileron and flaps for damage, Check the gear for damage and tire pressure, Ensure that the parking brake is set, the throttle levers are in idle position, propeller levers are on feather position and fuel condition levers are in cutoff position, Switch on the battery master and select BATTERY as power source (Captain's overhead panel), Switch on the cabin lights and the instrument lighting, Check that the voltage is above 18 V; normally it's around 24 V (above the radio sack), Make sure that there is enough fuel in the tanks for the flight you've planned, Switch on the "FASTEN SEATBELT" and the "NO SMOKING" sign, Switch on the beacon (center overhead panel), If you do not start up on asphalt, you must switch on the intake deflectors. F-OHJF. Ferry tanks are full. The customer asked us to produce a collapsible tank for fuel transport, that could fit inside an aircraft. . 1988 the production of the DHC-6-300 ended. Pneumatic/Bleed Air: Operates heating and de-icing system and intake deflectors 6. All 5 ferry tanks could be gravity fed into either the aircraft's forward or aft fuel tanks.

While the forward tank has a capacity of 1235 lbs the rear tank can contain up to 1341 lbs of fuel. Floor loading is 200 lbs. The engines use a single line fuel delivery system that feeds 14 nozzles from the same manifold. Three of these, effects, fonts and simobjects, are quite clear what category it belongs to in teh add component. Viking responded by hosting a “Twin Otter Operators Forum” to see what the operators wanted, followed it up with market research, and officially launched the Series 400 in 2007. now gravity kicks in & wants to equilize the fuel levels. All instrument panel annunciators and post lights are replaced with high reliability LEDs. Twin Otter Series 400: proposed development to meet US FAR 36 noise regulations. The Apex system is optimized for single-pilot operation, and seemed well suited to the Twin Otter. The G950 system transforms the Legacy Twin Otter Series 100, 200 and 300 aircraft into a modern aircraft with a Crew alerting system displayed on each PFD replacing the antiquated Master Caution panel. Winner of the James C. Floyd award for outstanding contributions to Canadian aerospace, Viking celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2020. Right after touch down press the Del key and apply full throttle. The De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter was produced in three variants, the Series 100 (two 550 shp PT6A-20), Series 200 (with lengthened nose and additional baggage capacity) and the Series 300 (two 620 shp PT6A-27A engines). The electrical system is fed by an 40 ampere-hour battery and two engine-driven generators (which operate as starter-motors when starting the engine). the aircraft to create space for two 925 litre fuel tanks, which were attached to the floor rails in the cabin and connected to the main fuel system. The de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, currently marketed as the Viking Air DHC-6 Twin Otter, ... deletion of the AC electrical system, deletion of the beta backup system, modernization of the electrical and lighting systems, and use of composites for nonload-bearing structures such as doors. The left pitot system feeds the pilot's ASI and the right pitot system feeds the copilot's ASI with dynamic pressure. With the engines mounted significantly above the fuel tanks the engines cannot bes supplied with fuel by gravity and hence the system has to rely completely on the fuel pumps. It has a cruise speed of 150 knots, a service ceiling of 25,000 feet and a range of 700 miles. The inverters are selected alternatively by the inverter switch located on the overhead panel. Normal servicing and adjustment accomplished without cap removal. Only with throttles in idle position, Increase/decrease propeller pitch on selected engine(s), Move walker forward/backward/left/right. FUEL SYSTEM The Twin Otter has a simple and reliable fuel system but with the tanks low in the airframe and the engines mounted high it is fully depended on booster pumps. by doing so the aft fuel tank is either rotated down & tilted aft or is rotated up & tilted forward. The very simple pneumatic system of the Twin Otter is only used to provide hot air for the heating and the de-icing system. Alternative DME, because the current one has some issues with the visibility of the digits, Electrical system: More detailed simulation of the various buses, external power, Bus Tie, circuit breakers, Animation and implementation of Nose wheel steering bar and trim tabs, Proper animation of the Oil temperature gauges and propeller spin, Maybe tweaking the FDM to better reaction to aileron input, Variable interior: Different cockpit layouts (e.g. The filming across SA took 63 … DHC-6 Twin Otter (25 size EP - scale warbird)The De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, currently marketed as the Viking Air DHC-6 Twin Otter, is a Canadian 19-passenger STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) utility aircraft developed by de Havilland Canada and currently produced by Viking Air.
