AIRCAM AIRCAM · Model Guide
Overview
AIRCAM AIRCAM is a piston-powered, two-engine aircraft with a front and a rear seat. The supplied checklists cover a 912iS-engined version with lane switches and an amphibious version on Clamar 2180 floats. No registry specs were supplied, so this guide uses only checklist data.
- Two checklists were supplied: one for the AirCam 912iS and one for the AirCam on Clamar 2180 amphibious floats.
- Lift-off is at 43 mph IAS and normal climb is 60 mph IAS in both checklists.
- Exhaust systems have 8 springs per engine. All 8 must be intact and safety wired before flight.
- The amphibious version has a retractable gear system with indicator lights. Gear position decides whether a land or water landing is safe.

What speeds should I expect on the AIRCAM AIRCAM?
For the AIRCAM AIRCAM, the checklists give lift-off at 43 mph IAS and normal climb at 60 mph IAS. Normal land approach is 60-65 mph, and short-field approach is 50-55 mph (float checklist).
How does the AIRCAM AIRCAM handle an engine failure?
For the AIRCAM AIRCAM, the 912iS checklist gives Vmc 43 mph, minimum single-engine speed 50 mph and best single-engine climb 55 mph with 5 degrees of flap. It teaches holding 55-60 mph and banking 5 degrees into the good engine.
What fluids does the AIRCAM AIRCAM checklist specify?
The AIRCAM AIRCAM checklists call for Aeroshell SPORT PLUS 4 oil. The float checklist specifies a 50/50 mix of Dexcool and distilled water for coolant. Burp the engine before adding oil, and add only small amounts before rechecking.
What fuel level is required before takeoff in the AIRCAM AIRCAM?
The AIRCAM AIRCAM land checklists call for both tanks at 1/3 minimum. The float water-takeoff checklist calls for 1/4 minimum. With 1/8 or less in either tank, avoid steep descents.

Engine and start-up differences
The 912iS checklist uses Lane A and Lane B switches, an engine monitor display and start-power switches. It specifies oil pressure of 29-73 psi and a run-up at 4,000 RPM. The float checklist uses ignition switches, auxiliary fuel pumps and a run-up at 3,800 RPM. Both limit starter cranking to 10 seconds at a time.
What to inspect when buying
Look for propeller blade damage, especially leading edges. Check exhaust for cracks and leaks, all 8 springs per engine and their safety wire, and fluid leaks under each engine. Check radiators, hoses, air filters, wing-root gap seals, trim tab hinges and pushrods, and stabilizer cables. Confirm battery voltage is above 12V.
Float and amphibious points
On the floats, check rigging and make sure all compartments are free of water. Check the gear and tires: mains should be 50-55 psi and nose wheels 30 psi. Sump four fuel drain points. Water operations use gear up and flaps at 25 degrees, with a minimum water depth of 12 inches for landing.

Safety notes
- Do not attempt a water landing if one or more gear may be down. If unsure the gear is locked, touch down at the lowest possible speed with full flaps.
- Engine failure: both throttles full forward, hold 55-60 mph IAS, bank 5 degrees into the good engine. Shut down the bad engine if RPM stays below 2,000.
- Oil pressure: the 912iS must show minimum pressure within 10 seconds of start-up. The float version must show it within 5 seconds. Otherwise shut down the engine.
