History and Overview

In the late 1960’s, the airline industry wanted a bigger aircraft for Coast-to-Coast

service in the USA. A request from American Airlines for an aircraft in a 250-passenger version gave birth to a new project for the civilian market. The aircraftshould have sufficient range to fly routes like Chicago to Los Angeles nonstop.

Soon it became evident that both McDonnell Douglas and Lockheed wereworking on very similar prototypes. The competition between the two would bevery sharp! Earlier, Boeing launched the Boeing 747 jumbo-jet and this giant

aircraft became an immediate sales success.

Both Lockheed and McDonnell Douglas wanted to see their aircraft in the air firstand McDonnell Douglas won that battle when their DC-10 flew in August 1970.Not far behind, the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar took to the skies in late November

1970.

First flown on November 16, 1970, the twin-aisle Lockheed TriStar wasconsidered a technological marvel for its day, featuring low noise emissions,

improved reliability and efficient operation. Although the TriStar's designschedule closely followed that of its fierce competitor, the DC-10, McDonnell

Douglas beat Lockheed to market by a year due to delays in power plantdevelopment. Rolls-Royce, the maker of the TriStar's RB211 turbofan engines,had filed for bankruptcy, halting the Lockheed L-1011 final assembly. The British

government did not approve the large state subsidy used to restart Rolls-Royceoperations until the U.S. government had guaranteed the Lockheed loans

previously provided to Rolls for the extensive engine contract. The first LockheedTriStar was finally delivered to Eastern Airlines on April 26, 1972.

After one year of service, no less than 110 aircraft had been ordered. And

Lockheed was very pleased to see high-prestige airlines such as British Airways, All Nippon, Cathay Pacific, Air Canada and Delta Air Lines placing orders for theLockheed TriStar. This was of course important for Lockheed's reputation as an

aircraft manufacturer, but it also represented a breakthrough. Until this pointalmost three-quarters of the L-1011’s ordered came from American customers.This fact worried Lockheed a bit, as they knew that the TriStar had to win

customers around the whole globe to become a sales success.

A longer-range variant of the standard-length L-1011 was developed in the late1970’s. Designated the Lockheed L-1011-500, the fuselage length was shortenedby 14 feet to accommodate higher fuel loads.

The Lockheed L-1011 inaugurated Delta's first transoceanic flight, Atlanta toLondon-Gatwick, on April 30, 1978, followed by its first transpacific service,

7/21/2019 L 1011 Manual

Atlanta to Portland to Tokyo, on March 2, 1987. Other notable inaugurationsflown by Delta L-1011’s include Dallas Fort Worth to Honolulu, December 14,

1984; Atlanta to Honolulu, June 1, 1985; Portland to Seoul, December 15, 1987;Portland to Taipei, July 1, 1988 and Portland to Bangkok, December 15, 1989.Delta took delivery of its last new L-1011, N741DA in May of 1983 and this was

the airline's 44th TriStar acquired new from the manufacturer. In addition tothese new aircraft, Delta acquired a number of L-1011’s from Pan Am, Unitedand Eastern between 1984 and 1991. N726DA was lost in a weather-related

accident while approaching Dallas Fort Worth on August 2, 1985.

However, in the mid-1990’s, Delta realized that they needed a large fleet of newwide-bodies to start replacing their fleet of over 50 aging Tri-Star’s. Large orders

were placed for Boeing 767’s to replace them on the transatlantic routes andMcDonnell Douglas MD-11s to replace them on the transpacific routes. The firstformal retirement of the TriStar came in July 1996, when N789DL was retired to

the Mojave Desert. Since then, the fleet had gradually been reduced, and Delta'slast transoceanic L-1011 flight was on November 30, 1998, from Vienna to

Atlanta as DL147. By spring of 2000, the fleet had shrunk to 24. As more Boeing767’s were delivered and the new Boeing 777 introduced, the Lockheed L-1011rapidly gave up its places to these more modern jetliners of today. There wereonly 15 remaining as of January 2001. The last L-1011-500 revenue flight wasoperated by N755DL on January 8, 2001, as DL1886 from Los Angeles to Atlanta.By that time, a substantial number of the mass-transit Boeing 767-400ER’s werebeing delivered, and the L-1011 retirement pace averaged an amazing two to

three aircraft per month. The L-1011 gave up being the backbone of Delta's

Hawaiian services on March 31, 2001 when DL16 departed from Honolulu toDallas Fort Worth at 18:25HST. For the record, the last flights from the last

served cities were; Los Angeles on June 30 with DL1886 to Atlanta, Dallas Ft.Worth on July 8 with DL476 to Ft. Lauderdale, Ft. Lauderdale on July 9 withDL1494 to Atlanta, West Palm Beach on July 30 with DL1958 to Atlanta.

July 31, 2001 was a sad day in aviation history and a sad day at Delta. The

Lockheed TriStar was the airplane that made Delta grow from a domestic airlineto a truly global carrier. The graceful, powerful Lockheed L-1011 served Deltacustomers by the millions, setting milestones along the way, during its tenure

from 1973 to 2001. Her stylish tail and S-Duct with the famous "Widget" wasseen at a total of 79 domestic and international cities. She helped Delta becomethe carrier it is today by giving them international aspirations and then fulfilling

those dreams. She served with dignity and grace, but also with remarkablesafety. She really is a “grand old lady” and let us all wish her well in her

retirement.

Rolls-Royce RB211The Rolls-Royce RB211 almost bankrupted its manufacturer during the 1970’s,but has emerged as a durable and reliable turbofan engine that has expanded

beyond the Lockheed L-1011 to power the Boeing 757, 767 and 747 aircraft. TheRB211 family is unusual in that it is a three-shaft engine with three compressorstages and three turbine stages. On the flight deck, pilots will see gauges for N1,N2 and N3 speeds. The result of this unusual layout is an engine much shorter

and squatter than a typical Pratt & Whitney or General Electric designs. It is easyto spot RB211-equipped Boeing 747’s

based on their “stubby” engineappearance.

The RB211-22B powered the original

Series 1 L-1011 and was rated at 42,000lbs of thrust. Later (Series 250 and 500)

L-1011 models used the RB211-524B4series, which produced 50,000 lbs of

thrust. Later variants (as displayed in the table below) have been used to power

the Boeing 747-400, reaching a peak of 60,600 lbs thrust.

The RB211 family has also been the foundation for the successful “Trent” engine

line, which powers the Boeing 777.

Flying the LOCKHEED L-1011-100 - Tutorial

For this tutorial, we will be flying from Orlando International Airport (KMCO) to Atlanta Hartsfield (KATL). Birmingham (KBHM) as our alternate. Our cruise

altitude will be at FL350. Our route of flight will be MCCOY NINE DEPARTURE(MCOY9.ORL) with the SINCA FIVE ARRIVAL (SINCA.SINCA5). We will land onRwy 27L in Atlanta. Waypoints we will use along the route are ORL GUANO CRG

RDNEK CHESN BAXLY DBN RIPPI SINCA CANUK HUSKY YABBA DEZEE DOOOH ANVAL DEPOT ATL. We will takeoff on Rwy 36R. You can start at any Gate.

Before starting the flight make sure you have all the charts you may need for theflight. Normally you will need the airport diagram for each airport, the Standard

Instrument Departure (SID) chart if you are flying a SID and the relevantapproach plates, at least one for your departure airport and at least one for eachrunway at your destination and alternate airports. This will ensure you haveflexibility upon arrive in the event a runway is closed or the weather has changeddramatically.

For the purposes of this tutorial, we will assume there is no active Air Traffic

Control (ATC). Start Flight Simulator and choose the ‘Create a Flight’ option.Select the Lockheed L-1011-100 and click the OK button. Next select the Fuel

and Payload button to open the configuration window. Check the payloadconfiguration with the standard configuration chart in the chart section.

For fuel, you need to use the Fuel planner located in this manual. A flight fromOrlando to Atlanta, 1.4 hrs @ 405mi, would take approximately 43,177 lbs of

fuel. Load 10,194 lbs in the Left and Right tanks and 22,789 lbs in the Center

tank. Click okay. Make note of the Gross Weight. We will need it for later. Selectthe “Flight Planner” and plug in the above listed waypoints. Select the airport

(KMCO) and Gate location. For our purpose here, we’ll use the Flight Simulator’sdefault weather. Select “Clear Day”. Once every thing is set, click the ‘Fly Now’button to load the simulator.

Using the checklist found later in this manual, perform the At Gate – BeforeEngine Start checklist to ensure the aircraft and cockpit are properly configured

and all aircraft systems are working. Now, using the Engine Start and WhenCleared to Start checklist, start the engines. Complete the When Cleared to

Start checklist and After Engine Start checklist items.

Maximum taxi speed straight ahead is 25 knots and 10-12 knots in a turn. There

is no Ground Speed indicator in the DVA L1011, so use the GPS for groundspeed. If speed does creep toward the upper limits, tap the toe brakes to slowthe aircraft. Turning at speeds above the 12-15 knot is difficult. The L-1011 is aheavy aircraft and tends to travel straight when nose wheel is turned to make asharp turn at speeds above the 12-15 knot limit. The aircraft will continuestraight ahead until it is slowed down. Follow the checklist closely and you will

not have any problems.

When ready to taxi, taxi to Rwy 36R. Complete all the Taxi checklist items. With

the noted Gross Weight, use the Takeoff Reference Speed chart to set the SpeedBugs on the A/S indicator. VHF NAV 1 should have ORL 112.20 selected andCourse should be 355 on the A/P panel. Altitude should be 35000 and selected,

IAS select to 250 kts. Set Vertical Speed to 2600 FPM climb. Dial in 360 in the

HDG window. Select CRG VOR 114.5 into NAV 2 window.

Once at the runway hold line, execute the Before Takeoff and the Takeoff -Cleared or Taxi into Position & Hold checklist items. Once in position, hold

the brakes and advance the throttles to about 80% N1 position. Allow theengines to stabilize briefly, then release brakes and apply 96% N1. Use rudder to

track the runway centerline. When the airspeed reaches Vr of 140 knots, gently

pull back on the controls to raise the nose to a 10° nose up attitude. Hold thisattitude and allow the aircraft to fly off the runway. Once a positive rate isestablished and when about 100 feet AGL above the runway, raise the landing

gear. Takeoff flying runway heading

As the airspeed accelerates thru 160 knots raise the flaps to 4 deg. At 200kts

raise flaps 0. Adjust pitch to maintain a 2600 FPM climb and allow airspeed toincrease. As airspeed approaches 230 knots, adjust power to 93% N1 andachieve a 2400 FPM climb at 250 knots. Maintain these conditions as you climb

though 10,000ft.

7/21/2019 L 1011 Manual



15

As you continue your climb to your cruise altitude, continue to monitor airspeedand rate of climb. As altitude increase above 1000 feet AGL, select A/T on A/P

panel. At 3000 feet AGL, select A/P and HDG. Select V/S of 2400. Whenapproaching ORL VOR, select NAV, continue with checklist to FL350. A/P shouldnow be flying the A/C on route. At 10,000ft MSL, set V/S to 2200 FPM. Set speed

to 310kts. At 18,000ft set Alt 29.92. At FL200, set V/S to 1800 FPM and selectMACH .82. At FL270, set VS to 1200 FPM.

When reaching GUANO, set NAV 1 to CRG (114.50) and course and HDG to 358.Select 113.10 in NAV 2.

At 10 DME on the HSI, change course knob to 336. At 85 DME change NAV 1 toDBN 113.10 and NAV 2 to 116.90.

At DBN, start your descent. Select 12000’ in the ALT window and descend at -2400 FPM to reach CANUK at the required ALT of 12,000’. Deselect Mach andselect IAS Hold. Set IAS to 300 kts. As you get closer to CANUK, adjust Rate ofDescent accordingly. Use Speed brake to control speed.

Review the DESCENT checklist.

At DBN VOR, set NAV 1 to 116.90 and Course to 309.

Upon reaching CANUK, set ALT to 7000’ and V/S to -1200 FPM. Set speed to230 kts. A/C should turn at HUSKY and be around 7000’ when turning inbound at

YABBA. Use Speed Brakes to help slow down. Don’t forget to set them back in

when speed reached.

Approaching YABBA, enter the ILS freq of 108.5 into NAV 1. Set course and HDBknob to 272. Select 4000’ in the ALT window and V/S of -900, set speed to

180kts. Drop flaps to 10 deg. At 200 kts, drop flaps to 18 deg.

At DEZZE you can now select APR on A/P panel. At 180 kts drop flaps to 22 deg.

At DOOOH, Drop the gear and continue slowing to approach speed of 140 kts. At160 kts set flaps to 27 deg. At 150 kts set flaps to 33 deg. At any time now youcan turn OFF the A/P and A/T and silence the warning by clicking the RED

BUTTON on the AFCS WARNING Panel. Now fly the Pitch/Bank steering bars on

the ADI. Monitor the HSI CDI for course corrections.

Go thru the APPROACH and LANDING checklists.

Hold 140 KIAS and a descent rate of 600-800 FPM all the way to the runway.

Don’t try to flare too much because this airplane will float for a long distance.Maintain a steady descent all the way to the runway. At 50 feet AGL, throttle

back to IDLE. Pull a nice and easy flare. This is where practice is required to get just the right flare.

Once the nose wheel is on the runway, apply full reverse thrust (Press and holdF2) and apply the brakes. Select Spoilers full out. When slowing thru 80 KIAS,

disengage the reverse thrust. Bring Spoilers in. Slow to taxi speed and turn offthe runway.

Stop on the taxiway and complete the After Landing - (when Clear of theRunway) checklist. When complete, taxi to the gate and perform the

Shutdown checklist. Log the PIREP on ACARS.

The minimum Fuel Required per Tank 1, 2 and 3 is 1,200lbs If you fly internationally,

you will need to add an international fuel reserve. For the L-1011-100, the InternationalFuel Reserve can be calculated by started with 8,000 lbs base fuel, then add minutes offlight x 25 lbs fuel

Example: A 425 minute flight would be 425 x 25 = 10,625+8,000 lbs = 18,625 Int’lReservesNote: this is not a “per engine” calculation – it includes all engines
