Hi!
I'm a retired commercial pilot and since my retirement after 12,500 hrs of flight, I began modeling FS airplanes.
A lot of time was invested in models and FDE's to get apearance & performance very close to real. The intention is when you fly these models it would be like the real plane.
Comments and suggestions are welcome. Any doubt, e-mail to narcizo@linhalivre.net and I will sure reply.

Thanks to:
- Denis da Silva who was my consultant when I began with FSDS.

Sound suggested new172sn.zip in http://www.fsdome.com/sounds.htm

How to fly this model:

TAKE-OFF:
- Full throttle and wait 70 kt (IAS) and than pull the stick gently to acquire a 10 degrees climb attitude;
- set throttle to 2,300 rpm and maintain 90 kt - climb at 500 fpm.

CRUISE:
- 100 kt IAS at 5,000 ft, rpm=2,200.

LANDING:
- Decrease throttle to 1,300 rpm and set speed in 75 kt. This configuration will result in a vertical speed around -500 fpm.
- Flaps is fully operate in white range of velocimeter without structural stress. Each step of flap needs adjust rpm to keep speed.
- With crossed wind, set throttle to 1,500 rpm and maintain speed in 80 kt. Do not use full flap.
- Avoid touchdown with a VSI > 200 fpm.

Please send your comments to narcizo@linhalivre.net and know my others models.
I know my english stinks. So save comments about.
Thanks for use my model.

REPAINTS:
You are welcome to repaint to this model as long as they remain freeware.

PANEL:
The V.C. panel is not like in the original airplane. Actually, I remember, the real is very poor. My option was put the gauges arrangemment of c172 in it.
So, be my guest to rebuild the panel and distribute it.
