Pontius T-1 Trainer Airplane

描述
The Pontius T-1 is a (fictional) single-Diesel-engine trainer aircraft that is capable of aerobatics and, due to its exceptional range, can be used for scouting and exploration.

The plane can be flown from either seat, however, the rear seat takes precedence over the front seat, when the rear seat is occupied. There is a key switch in the rear seat to hand off this precedence to the front seat.

The plane can be spawned at the smallest hangars and at gas stations.

The Pontius T-2 is a turboprop version of this plane.

Statistics
  • Crew 2
  • Length 13.75m
  • Wingspan 13.75m
  • Height 5m (with landing gear deployed)
  • Wingarea 33.125m²
  • Dry mass ~2,400kg
  • Wet mass ~3,100kg
  • Cruising speed ~170km/h
  • Top speed ~315km/h
  • Range ~1,100km

Preflight
  1. Ensure main battery is ON (main battery is on by default; to verify, check behind service hatch located on the ventral side towards the rear of the plane; key switch labeled "main battery" needs to be ON)

Be aware
  • The plane is metric. Altimeter is in meters, speeds are in km/h and fuel is in liters.
  • The HUD shows ground speed, not airspeed.
  • The plane's fly-by-wire system will interpret any pitch and yaw inputs as desired rotation speeds. This includes trimming.

Support for physical throttle lever
This plane supports both, controlling the throttle via the keyboard (up/down arrow keys) or via a physical "sticky" throttle lever (e.g. on a flightstick or HOTAS). Please make sure to set the flip switch in the cockpit, to the right of your seat, labeled "resetting throttle", accordingly! If you are using a physical throttle lever mapped to axis 4, turn resetting throttle ON. If you are using keys or buttons or a (resetting) game controller axis to control the throttle, ensure resetting throttle is OFF.

Startup
  1. Avionics ON
  2. Anti-collision lights ON
  3. Turn on other lights at your discretion
  4. Ensure throttle is ZERO
  5. Ensure propeller is clear
  6. Turn engine ON
  7. Close canopy
  8. Release parking brake
  9. Throttle to 20% to taxi

Takeoff
Can take off of small air fields like the one at Dreimor, or with less than half the length of one of the large runways like O'Neill Airbase or Harrison Airbase.
  1. Line up on the runway
  2. Throttle to 100%
  3. Keep your plane on the runway using yaw
  4. Pull up gently as soon as your airspeed is in the green (> 140 km/h)
  5. Set throttle to climb at your discretion (typically 60%-100%, depending on how steep you want to climb)
  6. Retract landing gear
  7. Once you have reached your desired altitude, throttle your aircraft as desired (typically 40%-60% throttle)

Cruise
To fly this plane most efficiently, after reaching your desired altitude, throttle to 40%. The resulting airspeed in level flight should be ~ 170km/h (this may vary depending on wind conditions).

Be aware though, cruising like this does not work in strong winds. 40% throttle will not be enough to maintain a good airspeed in strong tailwinds. You will have to throttle up to 50%, sometimes more, in order to hold altitude under such conditions.

When cruising at 40% throttle, one full tank of fuel should last for almost 7 hours of cruise flight.

Landing
  1. Deploy landing gear
  2. Speed on final approach should be around 160km/h
  3. Attempt to touch down with all three wheels at once, to avoid a nose or tail strike
