Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

I use this site to get flight manuals if needed or look up speeds since I'm downloading anything:

malibu43. The best document that you may find on the net is a US Military Document NAVAIR 00-110 AP3 . I also have the Instructors Guide (2A-1102.IG1) and various bits of training or P3 Gouge. If you cannot find these on the net I will see what I can do to somehow make them available.
The data you need is provided in NAVAIR; configuration and type dependent, i.e is which model - ASW, RECON, MINELAYING, FERRY and was also stores and ordinance load dependent, tricky no one size fits all. How to fly the P-3 is contained in the Instructors Guide (circuits, Instrument approaches etc.).

I MAY be able to get a copy of a pilot's checklist at the Naval Aviation Museum Library. Not sure when I will be down there next, but can ask, when I do. NC
Update:
Although I am sure such a checklist exists, the Naval Aviation Museum Tech Pubs Library does not have one, u fortunately....

I have everything covered but the checklist. They went with the aircraft. I have briefs for all the procedures and including preflight etc. so in a way they follow the checklist but are orientated towards the training captain. You will not find the engine start procedure useful because the one achilles heel of the KBT Orion is the engine starts, mine no matter what recommendation are as flaky as heck, sometimes yes, sometimes no, I just live with CTL+E for that one and hope for a full native FSX model one day but the VC is a problem and always has been, unless, unless somebody else has some suggestions.

Thanks everyone. I created a basic take off and landing aid by pulling some tables out of the flight manual that show weights, flap settings, and take off and landing speeds. It displays a little odd in P3D, so I may manually recreate the tables in a more readable format. I'll post it in this thread if I get a chance.
