📄️ Introduction
The Transall C-160 is a military transport aircraft, produced as a joint venture between France and Germany.
📄️ General description
You will find in this section the different parts of the cockpit with their respective functionalities.
📄️ Engines and auxiliary power
The aircraft is powered by two Rolls Royce “Tyne 22” turboprop engines, providing maximum 5,665 HP (ISA conditions) with 510 kilograms of residual thrust.
📄️ Electrical
Electrical installation consists of:
📄️ Fuel system
First Transall versions used to carry only two tanks per wing, which limited the range for long flights with little payload.
📄️ Hydraulics & controls
A lot of equipment of the aircraft relies on hydraulic power: landing gear, flaps, spoilers, ramp, propeller brake, nose wheel steering, wheel brakes.
📄️ Other systems
Both cockpit and cargo bay are pressurized, thanks to one compressor linked to each engine.
📄️ Avionics
Our Transall is based on the C160R version, which has more complex avionics compared to previous versions, including screens instead of gauges.
📄️ Electronic flight bag
To help managing all actions related to the aircraft, an EFB has been implemented, similarly to all our other aircraft.
📄️ Procedures
Please note that aircraft weight has a big impact on some reference speeds like stall speed. You may check performance section to compute more precise values depending on flight conditions.
📄️ Performance
To keep a safety margin at any moment of the flight with stall speed, a specific speed called “reference speed” must be respected at any time.
📄️ Controls assignments
In addition to default control assignments, our aircraft is using custom variables and events to manage all its systems.
📄️ MSFS 2024 specific
You will find in the section everything specific to the Transall for MSFS 2024 (native add-on).
