Aerosoft HUEY X 1.00 manual THE BELL UH-1H (UH-1D) / BELL 205A-1 The Bell UH 1(Bell 205) is without a doubt one of the most famous helicopters. The first versions where produced in 1956 and it is still manufactured today. Bell named it UH-1 Iroquois but it became better known under the Huey nickname. Without a doubt the Vietnam War played an important role in the development and fame of the aircraft. For the first time infantry were highly mobile and could operate anywhere in the range of the Huey.

Aerosoft HUEY X 1.00 manual INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL This product uses the Aerosoft Installer and Launcher combination. That means that you will have to activate the product online after installing it. This is very simple -- however, if you need assistance check Appendix A where it is explained step-by-step. After installing it can help to defragment your hard disk (unless it is a SSD drive that should not be defragmented).

Aerosoft HUEY X 1.00 manual   Retreating blade stall Control effectiveness depending on hydraulics pressure The Huey has been tested by four pilots who in total have thousands of hours at the controls of this helicopter. They assure us the behavior in flight is very accurate. Please note that vortex ring state (VRS) is NOT included because the Huey does not suffer from this dangerous condition.

Aerosoft HUEY X 1.00 manual FLYING THE HUEY As helicopters go the Huey is one of the easiest to fly. It is very stable and not as nervous on controls as many other helicopters. As the helicopter has been manufactured for many decades and has been improved as time went on all the nasty behavior has been corrected. It is very predictable in all conditions. To get acquainted with the Huey we advise you to position the helicopter on a wide long runway in perfect weather conditions (no wind) with full tanks.

Aerosoft HUEY X 1.00 manual SYSTEMS The UH-1 has simple systems compared to modern helicopters. This makes it easy to maintain and highly reliable. CAUTION SYSTEM The caution panel will have lit sections when systems are not working correctly. This can be because they are not switched on (for example when the engine is not running) or because there is a failure. Any lit indication will also illuminate the MASTER CAUTION light.

Aerosoft HUEY X 1.00 manual LIGHTING The internal lighting system consists of overhead dome lights that can be white or green and panel lighting in green. In flight only the panel lights are used. Note that the white dome lights are useful if you find the whole cockpit too dark, even during daylight hours. Do note that like many military cockpit the Huey panels are dark and offer little contrast.

Aerosoft HUEY X 1.00 manual ENGINE AND POWER TRAIN SYSTEMS The 1,400 shp Lycoming T-53-L-13 turboshaft engine is made up with a 5-stage axial compressor and a 1-stage centrifugal compressor. Although it is not a modern engine it is light, powerful and highly reliable. In many UH-1H’s it is limited to a lower maximum power output to reduce wear on the other components. The engine is connected by the main drive shaft to the transmission.

Aerosoft HUEY X 1.00 manual GYRO The C-2G compass panel allows you to put the gyro in DG and MAG mode and the aligning of the gyro compass. The system is normally in MAG mode where the compass corrects the drift of the gyro. The DG mode is only available as backup.
