Pre-Flight Inspection Beechcraft King Air 30

Simulator: FSX

Model: Allied Flight Group

Add-ons:FTX Global BaseFlight Environment X

The Beechcraft King Air 300 is part of a series of twin-turbopaircraft. The King Air family (90, 100, 200 and 300 series) has bin continuous production since 1974, the longest production runany civilian turboprop aircraft in its class. It has outlasted all ofprevious competitors and the only other aircraft in its class is Piaggio Avanti.

The 200 series proved so popular that Beechcraft began work osuccessor, the King Air 300. The B200's airframe was “cleaned uand even more powerful engines (PT6A-60A, rated at 1050 sinstalled in redesigned cowlings, with MTOW increased 14,000 lb (6,300 kg). Deliveries began in 1984. The King Air 3has since been stretched by nearly three feet with two extra cawindows on each side and winglets added to the wingtips to crethe King Air 350.

Within FSE, the King Air 300 is a little faster and much more f

efficient, making it my favortie FSE aircraft. I routinely get 250burning 68 gph (at 20,000 ft) yielding 3.7 mpg. And the Amodel is excellent!

NOTAMs News You Need to Kno

It’s nice to know that my pathetic whinings are being

heard. In a new world’s record this month, we have

TWO articles, neither of which were written by me!

So the challenge remains – if MaxZ (for whom

English is not his native language!) can do it, so can

you. I know you’re out there; let me hear from you.

Not to fear, though. Volume 3 of the Encyclopedia

of FSE Aircraft is included in this issue, so you’ll

still get your monthly Warren fix. And since I never

heard back from either prospective cover artist, I had

to use one of my own shots again.

InIn--flight Entertainmentflight Entertainment Holiday Hum

submitted by mightyma

Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal Aviation Administration, and

the FAA examiner arrived last week for the pre-Christmas flight check.In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the reindeer. Santa got his

logbook out and made sure all his paperwork was in order. He knew they would examine all

his equipment and truly put Santa’s flying skills to the test…

The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He checked the reindeer harnesses, the landing

gear, and Rudolph’s nose. He painstakingly reviewed Santa’s weight and balance calculations

for the sled’s enormous payload.

Finally, they were ready for the checkride. Santa got in and fastened his seatbelt and shoulderharness and checked the compass. Then the examiner hopped in carrying, to Santa’s surprise, a

shotgun.

“What’s that for?!?” asked Santa incredulously.

The examiner winked and said, “I’m not supposed to tell you this ahead of time,” as he leaned

over to whisper in Santa’s ear, “but you’re gonna lose an engine on takeoff.”

How did you find out about FSE?

A member PMed me while I was flying on VATSIM

and told me about it. I was skeptical at first, but once I

joined I was hooked.

How do you enjoy using FSE?

Mostly I fly GA using smaller planes as an independent

charter pilot. The biggest plane I have right now is aCurtiss C-46.

What are your favorite FSE aircraft?

Beech 18.

What’s the story behind your username and avatar?

I’m not very creative, so when I joined the best I could

come with was KingAir, after my favorite aircraft, and

N129DC, the call sign I use on VATSIM. I sometimes

wish I’d just used KingAir, but after 9 nine years, Ithink I’ll leave it alone. My avatar is an interesting

story. At first it was related to the Marine Corps. My

youngest son enlisted in the Marine Corps the summer

before I joined FSE, so while he was in, my avatar was

always Marines-related. Then I developed a friendship

with a man, John Ysker, who owned an FBO on KANE,

the name of which is in the current Avatar, and after

which my groups are named. When John developed

cancer and passed, I began using his website logo as my

avatar in honor and remembrance of him.

Do you have any real-life flying experience?

Not really. A couple of friends have taken me up on

occasion and let me fly for a bit.

Anything else?

My occupation is a full time van driver for a compan

called Rise, Inc. Rise employs special needs adults an

my job is to pick them up at their home, drive them

work, and then pick them up from work and drive the

home. It’s a very fulfilling job, and to get to know the

people has been a real blessing. It’s probably the be

job I’ve had (though the 10 or so years I spent as

programmer comes in a very close second). I’m marri

(have been for 33 years, 34 come January, 2016) to

wonderful woman who has no idea how blessed I am

be her husband. My oldest son is married and works f

Verizon (he’s 30) and my youngest (the former Marin

is 27, married with 4 kids, and works for Feder

Premium. My main hobby, aside from FSE, is the guit

(I have an Alvarez acoustic and a Ibanez mini-sem

hollow electric). I play on the worship team at churc

lead nursing home services, and occasionally bring it my prison ministry to play and lead singing there. I’

also heavily involved in prison ministry, going into th

prison at Fairibault, MN every other weekend to teach

Bible study, and lead weekend Bible seminars 3 times

year.

One Page Plane Pop Quiz Are You a Power Lifte

by Warren Lieuallen (Lieuall

Here is this month’s quiz. Your challenge is to

answer the question before you peek at the hard-to-

read answers at the bottom of the page!

This month’s question is: Rank these planes in order

of their maximum payload (from most to least).

A. Lake Renegade

For extra bragging rights, note your guess as to the

payload (and be correct within 10% – good luck

with this one!).

B. Grumman G-44 Widgeon

Just for laughs, I left the planes the same as last

month. I don’t think any of these are known for their

cargo capacity!

C. Republic Seabee

By the way, looking stuff up in the FSE

Encyclopedia is cheating!

Cleared for TakeoffThe Great Circle Rou

by Maximilian Leitgeb (Max

Surprise, surprise! Today I am here instead of Warren,

to give you a short ground school lesson.

The Orthodrome/Great Circle

Our earth – yes also in the sim – is a geoid, a ball, if

you want so. To fly the shortestdistance possible between A and

B, we have to move along Great

Circles.

“Roger that, but before we go,

what is a great circle?”

A great circle is a circle on the

surface of the earth, whose centre

is the Earth’s centre. All meridians

are Great Circles, as well as the

Equator, but not the parallels of

latitude. Those are just circles,

since they don’t have their centre

in the middle of the earth, but on

the polar axis.

No matter where you are on the globe, a great circle

line is always bent towards to the nearer pole on a

Mercator Projection (lower image), whereas it is a

straight line on a Lambert’s Conic Chart/Gnomonic

Projection (upper image). When flying along a Great

Circle track, you have to constantly change your

heading.

The Loxodrome/Rhumb Line/Small Circle

But there’s another thing that’s quite interesting about

navigation, and maybe a little bit better of an

explanation, why the great circle is truly the shorter

distance: The Rhumb Line.

A Rhumb Line crosses all meridians at the same

angle, which means, you can fly from A to B without

changing your heading (at the cost of a longer trip).

You see, the difference in track

distance is remarkable on longrange operations. The most

extreme cases constitute flights

over the northern and southern

polar regions. On Gnomonic

charts, the Rhumb Line is bent

away from the nearer pole.

When you fly from the

Southern Hemisphere to the

Northern Hemisphere, you get

a GC-track in form of an S-

curve. And in case you fly

directly on the equator, there is

no difference between GC and

RL.

I hope you had an informative read! Maybe you even

learned something new!

Exit RowThoughts on Composite Aircr

by Maximilian Leitgeb (Max

Aircraft made of composite materials are on a

triumphal march and show no signs of stopping.

They started with business jets, moved on to large

airliners and now they have definitely set foot into

general aviation.

When I first had a closer look at those plastic birds, I

was very sceptical. Not only for their looks, but also

the interior and hardware on the inside. I am sure

many of you feel the same about these not-so-cheap

man-toys. But, the GIs changed their mind about the

M-16 when it was introduced as the standard

armament of the grunt in 1967. The implementation

of new everyday items is always accompanied by

many people ranting and talking big about how

things were better in the old days. Sometimes it is

indeed difficult to see a thing’s true potential.

“A portable, use-anywhere-you-wish telephone?

Who in God’s name is going to use this?”

But how did it come so far? Aircraft development is,

the same as any other type of development, most of

all a matter of time, progress and a bunch of brilliant

minds. New technologies, materials and techniques

had to be developed for us to sit in a 747 40000ft

above the big pond, headed for bloody Britain.

Remember when the Airbus 380 came out? It

already had lots and lots of composite materials, this

trend continued with the A350, as well as Boeing’s

787 Screamliner… er… Dreamliner and will surely

go on with future developments.

7/23/2019 FSE 2015-12


December, 2015

One major factor for aircraft design is mass. It has to

be very low, so that the aircraft can carry as much

payload as possible. The military was the first to

recognise this in aviation. But as a great many things

in aviation, the automobile industry had it first. In this

case, the Formula 1. BMW was also a pioneer in the

composites area, especially within the scope of

forming them. A carbon fibre, for example, has verygood tensile strength, much like a rope. But it is very

poor at resisting compression. That’s why you build

houses out of bricks, not ropes. So the key is to make

the fibre stiff, for it to be also able to carry

compression loads, shear and torsion stresses. Here’s

a simple explanation on how to make a carbon fibre

composite part (a GA wingspar for example): First

you need a mold where you pur your magic in.

Ideally, it is a negative of the part you want to create.

Then you place thin layers of carbon fibers in it. Butyou don’t just put them on top of one another. You

place them in a way to get the fibres’ strength in all

directions. Then you put all that in a plastic bag, suck

out the air, inject resin – like epoxide resin – and bake

it for a while. When you take it out, you have an

extremely stiff yet light wingspar that can carry the

same load of an up to eighty percent heavier metal

spar. While my explanation may seem a little bit dull,

this is how CF and GF parts are made. Resourceful

people have come up with this after they realised

there is not much more potential in making metals and

alloys lighter while keeping the same favorable

characteristics.

Back to our world, back to general aviation, away

from the think tanks of Boeing, Airbus or what you

will. Downsizing. malicious gossip has it that the

Americans, with their ever-present flagship-brands

like Cessna, Piper and Beechcraft have neglected

aerodynamics and only achieved performance via big,

bulky engines. Admittedly, there’s some truth to that.

NASA said that the Pipistrel Virus (I wish there was a

decent model for FSX) is the best aircraft in the

world. It competed against the latest 172 and RV-4.And won. With it’s 80hp, four-cylider Rotax 912/914,

and a 60 or 100lt-fuel tank configuration, it had better

range, cruise speed, fuel economy and was by far

cheaper in maintenance and acquisition cost. Other

7/23/2019 FSE 2015-12


samples of non-metal aircraft have also proved that

they don’t need to hide because there’s no rumblin’

and roarin’ weapon under the hood. Pipistrel,

Diamond Aircraft, Aquila, and Cirrus are serious and

successful competitors in the GA market. But what

do they have in common? They started with gliders.

And that’s where superior aerodynamics, low overall

mass and great lift generation come into play. Take a

glider like the HK36 Super Dimona, develop it

further and get a DA/DV-20 Katana with superb

flying characteristics, an affordable trainer and GA-

cruiser.

I myself love the timeless, rugged, good looking

birds with thirsty engines that love so much to be

handled with care. The purpose of this article was not

about changing your mind about the classic rides like

the Bonanza, the Cherokee or the C172, nor was it to

convice you to go green or some unmanly nonsense

like that. It was about giving you a little bit of insight

into modern day aviation, and recommending you to

try a state of the art composite-material built aircraft.

Do it well with your Mattel! And on that bombshell,

I thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts in

this December issue of The FSE Reporter.
