102 Supplemental Sheet for Virus 912 SW tail-wheel edition www.pipistrel.si REV. 0 Aircraft and systems on board Page 53. - Undercarriage The undercarriage is a taildragger type with two main brake-equipped wheels mounted on struts and a free-spinning or rudder-guided tail wheel. distance between main wheels distance between main and tail wheel tire tire pressure: brakes 1,60 m 4,27 m 4,00'' x 6'' (mail wh.), 2,50'' x 4'' (tail wh.) 1,0 - 1,2 kg/cm 2 (main wh.), 0,6 kg/cm 2 (tail wh.) drum or disk type, driven by brake pedals located on both rudder pedals brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4 main wheel axis to tail wheel distance Handling and maintenance 4,25 m page 65. -Undercarriage fist 5 50 daily hours hours main strut, rear fork condition C C SC 100 hours 250 hours 500 hours tail wheel main bolt C R tail wheel mounting bolt check and fasten every 50 landings 1.000 hours 10.000 hours Adjustment of tail wheel steering clutch stiffness To adjust the stiffness of tail wheel stearing clutch you need two allen keys (a.k.a. hex-wrench, inbus-key). On top of the wheel fork you will notice a ring with two tubes welded to each side with hex-bolts inside. First disconnect the springs at the tubes, then use an allen key into each of these tubes to tighten or loosen the screw inside. Thightening or loosing, make sure you apply equal number of screw rotations at both sides. To check if the steering clutch is stiff enough, lift the tail and rotate the fork left and right. At the end reattach both springs to the tubes again. Appendix Page 80. - Aircraft familiarisation Taxi Taxiing with the Virus 912 SW tail-wheel edition is rather simple considering the stearable tail wheel. For sharper turns on the ground you can also use wheel brakes to assist yourself. I would recommend you taxi slow, up to 10 km/s (5 kts). Virus 912 SW tail-wheel edition’s long wings cause quite a bit of inertia if turning too quickly on the ground. Ground loops are virtually unknown to Virus 912 SW tail-wheel edition pilots, but pilots with little or no tail-dragger experience, who attempt to taxi fast (20 - 30 km/h, 10 - 15 kts) are still subject to ground looping. Fortunately, due to the stearable tail wheel, this is not dangerous for aircraft’s structure. You will recognise the beginning of a ground loop by seeing the aircraft rapidly increase its angular velocity while turning on ground. To prevent ground looping simply apply full opposite rudder and both wheel brakes while holding the stick back fully. What makes pilots wonder how they will move around safely is ground visibility. To see forward simply lean your head and press it against the window. This will provide you with straight-forward visibility.
