Captain Sim 'Legendary C-130' - Flight Tutorial - e-HAF

FS Station – www.fsstation.com- In the Horizontal Situation Indicator, Radar Altimeter and Barometric Altimeter (pilot's panel or copilot's panel - L or R icon):1. Turn the COURSE SET knob until the course selector window reads 2462. Turn the HEADING SET knob until the heading bug is pointing to the active runway's heading3. Rotate the Radar Altimeter knob to put it into operationThe radar altimeter measures your height. It is very useful for ILS approaches, as the decision height is given in "feetabove ground level".4. Ensure the Barometric Altimeter is properly configured with the local altimeter setting by rotating its small knob.Having the local altimeter setting correctly configured avoids altitude indication errors.- In the flap control system (flap icon):1. Set the flaps to 50%Fifty percent is the normal take-off flap position. All normal take-offs are made with this flap setting.Taxi--- RUN THE BEFORE TAXI CHECKLIST ---With the engines started and the instruments configured, we finally have permission to leave the stand and taxi to theactive runway! However, we still need to configure a few systems before and during taxi. Because of the wind direction,I'll be taxiing to the runway 7.- In the hydraulics system (R1 icon):1. Brakes - NORMAL / ANTI-SKID ONSince all engines are started and we have utility hydraulic pressure, change the brake system to normal and turn anti-skidon. Check if they are working properly.Before taxi, a good practice is to downshift the outboard engines to low speed ground idle, just like we did before enginestart. They reduce the engine's wear and also reduce the total power of the aircraft, allowing us to taxi at lower speeds.The engines will be automatically upshifted when takeoff power is applied.It is finally to taxi! If the aircraft is parked in a position that requires pushback, use reverse thrust to move the aircraftbackwards. Yes, reverse thrust... you won't need a pushback cart, since the engines are powerful enough to even allowparallel parking! Once you get far enough, use forward thrust to start taxiing to the active runway. There is nothing muchto say about taxiing... just follow your assigned taxiways, maintain a fair speed and try not to use the brakes very often.There are, however, many items that need to be checked or configured while taxiing.FS Station – www.fsstation.comPage 9 of 20
