Approximate Flight Settings for subLOGIC Airlines Shorts 360

The computer modelling of the Shorts 360 is very simplified, and the aircraft was included primarily to enable you to commute to the smaller airports on subLOGIC Scenery Disks. The Shorts 360 has been specially adapted for this purpose, with high-lift devices for short takeoff and landing capability, and the inclusion of an IRS navigation system navigation system to allow you to navigate to any known co-ordinate system.

Flight Segment	Airspeed	Pitch Attitude	Torque Setting
takeoff	130	10°	3700 ft-lbs

cruise climb	150	7°	3550

cruise	175	0°	3500

descent	190	-5°	3000

final approach descent	120°	-5°	2000
flaps 30°, gear down

The STO and LDG flap settings on the Shorts 360 instrument panel are used specifically for short field operations. Avoid using these settings until you become familiar with the regular flight characteristics of the aircraft, then experiment carefully. You'll find that you will be able to slow the aircraft to an approach speed of 80 knots.
