You can use the right knob to switch between two modes: - Gyrocompass (D mode): Connected to the aircraft gyroscope, you will get a smooth rotation but you will need to recalibrate it frequently, like any gyrocompass. - Magnetic compass (Cm mode): Indicating the magnetic heading, recalibration is not needed but display can become jerky, especially when aircraft is turning. With the left knob, you can: - Recalibrate the instrument (only if D mode is selected). - Set heading bug (can be used to conserve a reference heading). A switch allows to manage gyrocompass supply: 8 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly Attitude indicator Attitude indicator fitted into the Magister is a classical one. The only setting available is the bars position change. This instrument will indicate pitch angle between 0 and 80 degrees and bank angle with a graduation each 10 degrees between 0 and 60 degrees. A switch allows to manage attitude gyroscope supply: 3\ AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS 3.1\ Flight controls Although flight controls do not have big specificities compared to other aircrafts, butterfly tail imposes a special operation. Both pitch input from the stick and yaw input from the rudder are combined to create the ruddervator movement. However, this is transparent for the user and will use the flight stick as you would do on any other plane. 9 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly Servo assistance Aileron movement is assisted by servo, supplied by the hydraulic circuit. It can be disconnected by the pilot. As it is only an assistance aiming at easing aileron motion, servo effect has not been implemented in our aircraft. A light will be visible when servo is disconnected. 3.2\ Canopy and pressurization Pilot and copilot canopies can be handled separately. You can lock and unlock canopy from the handle. A red light will be visible as soon as one of the canopies is not locked. To open or close the canopy, you have to click on its left arm. 10 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly Cabin pressurization and air conditioning is functional as soon as canopy is locked. A multi-position switch allows to choose air conditioning type: - Closed (no air conditioning). - Pressurization (temperature selection on three positions). - Defrost (temperature selection on three positions). Current selected temperature can be seen on the gauge. When defrost is selected, air is directed upon the windshield. In addition, defrost handle on the main panel allows to spurt alcohol on the front glass to help defrosting (action is not simulated). 3.3\ Electrical system Electric supply is provided in flight, thanks to a generator, rated 28.5V, connected to the left engine. A converter allows to feed gyroscopes. 11 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly Lights The Fouga is fully capable of night flying, and each light has been reproduced in the game. In the exterior, you will find a landing light and navigation lights. Navigation lights can be set on three positions: - OFF - FIXED - FLASHING, where lights will blink approximately one time per second. As we have to manage three distinct position, keyboard input cannot be taken into account. You need to use the switch on the left console to turn on or off the navigation lights. In the interior, you will find for pilot and copilot: - Console lights (white). - UV lights (front panel lights set by potentiometer). - Emergency lights (red console lights set by potentiometer). - Radio light (backlight for radio panels). 12 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly Pilot also has a compass light: 3.4\ Fuel system The Fouga has three fuel tanks: 1. One fuselage tank (divided in two parts) containing 730 liters. 2. One tank on left wing tip (125 liters). 3. One tank on right wing tip (125 liters). On some versions, bigger tip tanks (each 230 liters) can be installed. They are not implemented in our version yet. In addition to those tanks, there is a back flying accumulator (11 liters) allowing to feed the engines when the aircraft is flying inverted. After approximately 30 seconds, engines will lose power and you will need to bounce back to resume fuel supply. A low-pressure electric fuel pump is connected to the main electric circuit, allowing to feed high- pressure pumps and the back flying accumulator. When fuel pressure goes below 350 millibars (too low to fill back flying accumulator) a red light will glow on the left of the panel: 3.5\ Hydraulic system The Fouga is fitted with two hydraulic circuits, one NORMAL circuit and an EMERGENCY circuit. A pump connected to the left engine allows to maintain a 250 bars pressure into the circuit. 13 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly The following systems are connected to the hydraulic circuit: - Landing gear. - Flaps. - Brakes. - Spoilers. - Aileron servo. EMERGENCY circuit is supplied thanks to the handle on the right of the pilot. Landing gear Equipped with a tricycle landing gear, the movement is managed with the red handle on the left of the main panel. Nose gear has a free movement and is not connected to the rudder pedals. During taxi, turns are done using differential braking. As differential braking can be achieved with specific hardware only (rudder pedals with brakes), we chose to connect front wheel to the rudder to facilitate ground manoeuvres. 14 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly A gauge with several bulbs allows to control landing gear state: - 3 red bulbs are turned on when landing gear is not locked (not fully open or not fully retracted). - Two sets of 3 green bulbs are turned on when landing gear is expanded and locked. A light above main panel will blink when one of the engines is below 15,000 RPM and the landing gear is not down. Flaps The CM.170 has trailing edge flaps, composed by two elements per wing. Thanks to the switch on the left console, flaps can be set on any position between 0 and 40 degrees. You can still assign pre-assign takeoff (15 degrees) and landing (40 degrees) positions to any of your joystick button to facilitate its use. Spoilers The aircraft has six plates per wing, each of them can rotate between 0 and 90 degrees. 15 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly Spoiler switch is present on the right side of the throttle, for both pilot and copilot. Like flaps, it is a three positions switch. 3.6\ Oxygen Oxygen bottles are located behind the pilot seat. With a 2000 litres capacity (initial pressure of 150 bars), system can be opened or closed from a valve on the right of the pilot. Both pilot and copilot have an oxygen regulator with: - Needle showing the remaining oxygen in the circuit. - Blinker which should do a complete movement for each breathing in and breathing out of the pilot/copilot. - Bulb which will light up when oxygen pressure drops below 25 bars. - Switch (N – 100%) to provide pure oxygen. - Switch (N – Secours) used in case of emergency to provide pure oxygen in overpressure (50 mbar). Pure oxygen is automatically supplied above 34,000 ft. 16 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly Autonomy will depend on the cabin altitude, and can be read in the following table: Cabin altitude (ft) Autonomy for two pilots (hours) 30,000 N 5.2 3.9 2.6 1.3 100 % 5.2 3.9 2.6 1.3 25,000 N 5.2 3.9 2.6 1.3 100 % 4 3 2 1 20,000 N 5.2 3.9 2.6 1.3 100 % 3.2 2.4 1.6 0.8 15,000 N 5.2 3.9 2.6 1.3 100 % 2.5 1.8 1.2 0.6 10,000 N 5.2 3.9 2.6 1.3 100 % 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 N 7 5.2 3.5 1.7 100 % 1.4 1 0.7 0.3 Oxygen quantity 2000 L (1) 1500 L (3/4) 1000 L (1/2) 500 L (1/4) 3.7\ Radio The right console is dedicated to everything related to the radios: - UHF panel (COM 1). - Radio compass (ADF) panel. - Sound mixing panel (intercom). - VOR panel (NAV 1). Sound mixing panel is inoperative as COM and NAV volumes are already adjustable from UHF and VOR panels. UHF panel Originally, UHF box has pre-registered frequencies that can be set before flight and selected with the 20 positions wheel. In order to be usable in the simulator, you can select any COM frequency from the central wheel. Left knob allows to turn on/off UHF (HOM position is inoperative). Right knob allows to set COM 1 volume. 17 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly Radio compass In the CM.170, radio compass panel has plenty of knobs and switches used to connect manually to a station. This complex operation is not needed to connect to modern NDB transmitters, and thus was not simulated in our aircraft. You can simply use the top left knob in order to change ADF frequency. ADF indicator will point to station direction. 18 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly VOR panel This panel allows to select NAV frequency, thanks to two knobs. The course deviation indicator shows deviation from the radial that can be set with OBS knob. The CM.170 is not equipped with ILS. 4\ ELECTRONIC FLIGHT BAG To help managing all actions related to the aircraft, an EFB has been implemented. It can be opened and closed thanks to a cockpit button. 19 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly When opened, screen brightness can be set from the top bar. EFB can be closed with a click on its left border. It can be moved on the seat with a click on its right border. 4.1\ Aircraft menu Aircraft state You can put here the aircraft in “cold and dark” mode. Engines will be switched off, systems will be off and ground protections will be put in the aircraft exterior. Copilot and front antennas can be hidden. You can also open and close pilot and copilot canopy from here. Hydraulics This menu allows to trigger hydraulic failure (main circuit), as this type of failure is not natively supported by MSFS. You will see main hydraulic pressure drops, which will let you practice emergency procedures in case of hydraulic failure, to maneuver landing gear and spoilers. 20 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly Smoke system Here, you can turn the smoke system on (which can also be done with the switch on the main panel), and choose between five different colours. Black smoke coming from the engine at high power can be disabled. Oxygen This menu shows oxygen valve state, in addition to the remaining quantity. You can refill the circuit as needed. 4.2\ Radio menu If tooltips are disabled in your parameters, you may not see COM and ADF frequencies when setting them from the knobs. This menu shows all active frequencies, with current volume for COM and NAV. 21 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly 4.3\ Map menu This menu consists of a map showing current aircraft position. Different controls on the right part allow to interact with the map: - Zoom buttons. - Button to stop auto centering to aircraft position. - Trajectory button to show or hide aircraft path. 4.4\ Weapons menu From version 1.1, you can install various weapons on the aircraft from this EFB menu. Those weapons are static and cannot be jettisoned. If you downloaded the Fouga from Microsoft Marketplace, this menu will be empty as Microsoft policy does not allow to sell aircrafts having external weapons. In this case, please download the patch on our website to install weapons manager on your EFB. Unfortunately, XBox users cannot install any add-on manually, and hence cannot benefit from weapons management. We hope this could be solved in the future. 22 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly Once patch is installed, you will get the following view with several buttons to display or hide the weapons: The Fouga was equipped with the following armament: Ammunition Caliber Type Quantity Launch equipment Hard points Machine guns 7.5 mm 2 x 150 2 MAC 52 Rockets 68 mm SNEB 2 X 6 ALKAN LB 52 & MATRA LR 122 1 & 4 120 mm T 10 2 x 2 MATRA LR 20 2 & 3 Bombs 50 kg EG 61 C 2 x 1 ALKAN LB 52 1 & 4 50 kg F 1 2 x 1 ALKAN LB 52 1 & 4 23 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly 5\ NORMAL PROCEDURES 5.1\ Reference speeds General Stall speed (full flaps) 78 kts Stall speed (no flaps) 87 kts Rotation speed 90 kts Initial climb speed 120 kts Final approach speed 110 kts Maximum speed in turbulent air (VNO) 250 kts Maximum gear extended 215 kts Maximum speed 400 kts Never exceed speed (VNE) 450 kts Recommended for aerobatics Loop 280 kts Roll 260 kts Cuban Eight 280 kts 5.2\ Checklists In addition to this manual, you can find in-game interactive checklists, with dynamic validation and cameras management to help you complete each step. STARTING ENGINE Battery ON For each engine: Throttle 0 % Fuel valve CLOSED Starter ON Wait for 1000 RPM Ignition ON Fuel valve OPENED Wait for 4000 RPM Ignition OFF Starter OFF Oil pressure 1 bar Alternator ON Voltage 28.5 V Order of actions is very important for engines. Once starter is running, depressing the button on the fuel handle will initiates ignition, and pushing the handle will cause fuel to flow through the combined injection spark plugs into the combustion chamber. At this moment, nozzle temperature should increase by approximately 100 degrees Celsius within ten seconds. Ignition button must be released immediately to avoid damaging the engine. 24 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly BEFORE TAXI Canopy CLOSED Radio (UFH) ON Attitude indicator gyro ON Gyrocompass gyro ON Hydraulic pressure OK Aileron servo ON Spoilers RETRACTED BEFORE TAKEOFF Flaps 15 degrees Canopy LOCKED Oxygen 100 % Trim NEUTRAL Pitot heat ON AFTER TAKEOFF Landing gear UP Flaps RETRACTED Oxygen NORMAL BEFORE LANDING Landing gear DOWN Hydraulic pressure OK Landing lights ON Flaps 40 degrees AFTER LANDING Trim NEUTRAL Spoilers RETRACTED Flaps RETRACTED 25 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly SHUTDOWN Oxygen 100 % Pitot heat OFF Attitude indicator gyro OFF Gyrocompass gyro OFF Aileron servo OFF Fuel valve (both) CLOSED Battery OFF 6\ EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 6.1\ Hydraulic failure In case of hydraulic failure, you will need to use the emergency circuit to maneuver landing gear and spoilers. In the real aircraft, brakes also need to be operated with the emergency hydraulic handle. This has not been reproduced because of the difficulty to give a precise input to the hydraulic handle while ground rolling. Landing gear Follow this procedure to extend the landing gear in case of hydraulic failure: 1. Lower landing gear handle. 2. Click on the button to use secondary hydraulic circuit. 3. Use manual pump to lower the landing gear. 26 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly 4. Stop pumping once the three landing gear lights are green. It is not possible to retract the landing gear using emergency circuit. Spoilers To extend or retract spoilers using secondary circuit, you simply need to set the three-positions switch as wanted. Then, just use the manual hydraulic handle. 6.2\ Fuel dump In case of emergency, tip tanks can be emptied with a fuel dump system. 27 Fouga Magister CM.170 – Flight Manual – Rev.4 AzurPoly To begin the fuel dumping, use the switch on the right console. A red light indicates the ongoing motion of the dumping valve (lasting only some seconds). Once draining is in progress, you may wait for approximately 3-4 minutes to jettison the tank completely. Dumping can be stopped at any time using the switch.
