Reference speeds
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.
| |
|---|
| Stall speed (full flaps) | 60 kts |
| Stall speed (no flaps) | 72 kts |
| Rotation speed | 110 kts |
| Initial climb speed | 130 kts |
| Approach speed | 110 kts |
| Best glide speed (no flaps) | 110 kts |
| Maximum speed in turbulent air (VNO) | 250 kts |
| Maximum (full) flaps extended | 130 kts |
| Never exceed speed (VNE) | 281 kts |
| Maneuvering speed (VA) | 190 kts |
Checklists
We propose in this section detailed checklists, close to the ones used during real aircraft operation.
In addition to this manual, you can find simplified in-game checklists, with essential steps, dynamic validation and cameras management to help you complete each step.

Startup & shutdown
The Transall is normally operated by four crew members at least.
However, you can totally operate our aircraft by yourself in the simulator, thanks to procedures detailed in this section.
A quick tutorial video shows how to start and stop the aircraft.
