joojoo Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Hello to all I would like to ask about the appropriate way to takeoff from tarawa. I have read the guide but still I cannot takeoff. I try the rolling takeoff. Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroReady Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 What is your takeoff weight? Is the Tarawa steaming into the wind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joojoo Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 I have tried different choices of weight, the only thing that I know is that I cannot perform a vertical takeoff if the aircraft is above 20.000 lbs. To be honest I have not checked if the ship is steaming into the wind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroReady Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Are you setting nozzle stop to 60 and slamming the nozzles back to 60 degrees at the end of the ship? Are te nozzles at 0 on the takeoff roll so you are going as fast as possible? What happens do you just fall off the deck, do you stall, do you lose control?

mvsgas Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Start with not weapons until it becomes easy and gradually add weight. Creating a mission in winter months with cold tempt will help Once ready, all system check and good, set the nozzles to 25°, set nozzle stop to 60°. Flaps to VTOL, water switch to TO. Set throttle to maximum RPM (all the way forward), just before reaching the end of the deck, set nozzle to stop (60° previously set) and slowly transition to jetborn flight. Raise landing gear, slowly raising nozzle as you get more speed, at ~160 knots flap to auto. Once airborne lower RPM below 103% and water switch to off. Edited December 10, 2018 by mvsgas To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

joojoo Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 I'm sorry for the delay I usually stall at the end of the deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_1stVFW Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Sounds like you're not putting your flaps into STOL Mode.

Eviscerador Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Flaps into STOL mode. Water switch in TO position. Nozzle stop lever to 60º. Nozzles to 0º Trim to -2º Brakes on, accelerate to 100 % RPM Release brakes and stay on the centerline. When you reach the end of the deck, adjust the nozzles to 60 and very gently adjust the plane pitch to keep flying straight. Gear up, move nozzles slowly from 60 to 0 keeping the flying vector just above the horizon. Once you are over 200 knots set the flaps to auto and nozzles to 0º You are flying! Oh I forgot, once you are flying, move the water switch to off. You will need the rest of the water to land. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
