Introduction

Meet the aircraft

The MU-2 first flew in 1963 and became a major postwar Japanese civil-aircraft programme. Two turboprops power its compact high-wing airframe, built in short- and long-fuselage versions.

Discovering the feel of a long-body MU-2

Flying with owner Jim Burton, Bedell found that the MU-2 rewarded the sort of disciplined handling he associated with jets. Properly balanced power and trim produced a steady aircraft, and its behaviour in turbulence made a favourable impression. Sitting close to the ground made the brisk takeoff feel particularly lively.

An illustrated guide to the MU-2 cockpit

The MU-2's centre console carries an autopilot panel below the trim lever. The guide describes separate heading, localiser-capture, glideslope and altitude-hold modes. Selecting ALT holds the current altitude; a separate turn control commands bank, while the vertical-speed selector provides climb or descent control.

HOW IT CAME TO BE

History & design

A wing designed around two different jobs

The MU-2 combines a relatively small wing for fast cruising with full-span Fowler flaps for slower flight. Those flaps occupy the space normally used by ailerons, so spoilers provide roll control. Pilot accounts cover both short- and long-body versions, identified with each account.

Discovering the feel of a long-body MU-2

Peter A. Bedell

Flying with owner Jim Burton, Bedell found that the MU-2 rewarded the sort of disciplined handling he associated with jets. Properly balanced power and trim produced a steady aircraft, and its behaviour in turbulence made a favourable impression. Sitting close to the ground made the brisk takeoff feel particularly lively.

The same low viewpoint took some getting used to on landing, where it encouraged the impression that a flare was needed earlier than it really was. Bedell distinguished this long-body aircraft from shorter MU-2s, whose landing-gear geometry could give them a different feel. Burton used the aircraft for business trips from Virginia, and his detailed knowledge of its systems was part of the experience of learning to appreciate it.

Crossing the Atlantic as the world began closing

Ron Renz

Renz’s delivery route led through Maine, Labrador, Greenland, Iceland and Scotland before reaching Germany. A clear arrival through a Greenland fjord became one of his most beautiful flights. Elsewhere, the practical work was less picturesque: covers protected the aircraft during a stormy overnight stop without hangar space.

In Iceland, a flap problem threatened the schedule. Renz was also a mechanic, and borrowed tools and telephone help from an MU-2 service centre got the aircraft moving again after a half-day delay. News of pandemic restrictions followed him across the route. After delivering the Marquise, he shortened his visit and caught the last nonstop United flight from Berlin to Newark before that service stopped.

Making a familiar journey in a different kind of twin

Paul M. Connolly

Connolly compared his Solitaire with the Cessna 340 he had previously owned through a journey he knew well: New Hampshire to Florida. The MU-2 shortened the trip substantially. Although its hourly costs were higher in his figures, the shorter travelling time made the overall comparison much closer than that single number suggested.

He was equally pleased with the reliability he had experienced so far, while describing the inspections and repairs that had actually been needed. His enthusiasm came with a strong commitment to staying familiar with the aircraft. He reported flying it at least weekly and returning for recurrent training several times in a year. Ownership, for him, included both the enjoyment of travelling and the effort of remaining current.

Owner comments reproduced by AVweb in February 2001. Connolly describes a 1981 Solitaire bought in December 1994 and its first 183 hours in his ownership; this is a historical ownership report.

Aircraft and simulator scope

  • TOGA MU-2 Marquise 5-blade GNS · TOGA Simulations · X-Plane 12 · Add-on starting point

The simulator model and controls

The MU-2 first flew in 1963 and became a major postwar Japanese civil-aircraft programme. Two turboprops power its compact high-wing airframe, built in short- and long-fuselage versions.

This profile selects TOGA MU-2 Marquise 5-blade GNS for X-Plane 12.

How this profile feels

The spoiler-based lateral system motivates its own axis balance. Spring resistance builds with the selected airspeed response. A separate aerodynamic term adds speed-dependent control load.

Electric trim ailerons and mechanical elevator trim are separate from AP pitch attitude. Valid trim provides the configured pressure relief. Autopilot following is off.

Controls and trim

The MU-2 uses mechanically commanded roll spoilers and separate electrically trimmed ailerons. Elevator trim is mechanical. The autopilot’s TCS releases servos and its pitch wheel commands attitude, distinct from the elevator trim control.

The selected implementation

TOGA separates four/five-blade propellers and OEM/GNS/G600 panels; G600 requires its own display package and retains the SPZ500.

About the values

The gains are normalized profile settings. They describe the chosen effect balance; hand force depends on the device and its output limits. IAS references are tuning values rather than operating limits. Physical acceptance of this revision remains pending.

Documentary review and sources

These decisions describe the documentary basis and remaining gaps for this revision. Aircraft documentation and a starting setting describe different kinds of evidence.

Starting settings and their rationale

These configured values are starting estimates. The explanations describe what each setting controls; physical validation appears separately below.

Estimated starting settings · revision 1
SettingStarting valueWhat it controls and why
Spring strengthStarting value0.72 What it controls and whyThe spoiler-based lateral system motivates its own axis balance. The baseline spring is 0.72. Its low-speed blend reaches baseline strength at 100 KIAS.
Master force gainStarting value0.85 What it controls and whyScales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.
Profile force gainStarting value0.64 What it controls and whyThe aerodynamic-load gain is 0.64 with an indicated-speed reference of 220 KIAS. This supplies speed-dependent loading alongside the spring.
Force tuning speed/referenceStarting value220 ktWhat it controls and whySets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.
Spring response reference speedStarting value100 ktWhat it controls and whySets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.
Aileron force scaleStarting value0.85 What it controls and whyRoll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 0.85 and 1, respectively. They set the aerodynamic axis balance. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.
Elevator force scaleStarting value1 What it controls and whyScales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.
Trim feelStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyRetained for compatibility and group membership. Trim relief, rather than this flag, controls centre movement.
Trim reliefStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyAllows trim relief with supported control law and valid telemetry. Axis authorities set its amount.
Autopilot followStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyAutopilot following is off; the configured spring and load retain the hardware feel.
Autopilot neutral holdStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyPermits centering hold during a supported AP state, separate from following a moving target.
Output force limitStarting value0.55 What it controls and whyCaps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.
All 44 starting settings and their rationale

The settings define the profile’s effect balance. Device output limits affect physical hand force.

Estimated starting settings · revision 1
SettingStarting valueWhat it controls and why
Spring strengthStarting value0.72 What it controls and whyThe spoiler-based lateral system motivates its own axis balance. The baseline spring is 0.72. Its low-speed blend reaches baseline strength at 100 KIAS.
Spring deadbandStarting value0.05 What it controls and whySets travel around the centre before the baseline spring resists. Smaller values engage it sooner.
Profile force gainStarting value0.64 What it controls and whyThe aerodynamic-load gain is 0.64 with an indicated-speed reference of 220 KIAS. This supplies speed-dependent loading alongside the spring.
Master force gainStarting value0.85 What it controls and whyScales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.
QBlend EnabledStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyAllows baseline spring strength to rise with indicated airspeed where the control law permits it.
QSpring Minimum FactorStarting value0.55 What it controls and whySets low-speed spring strength as a fraction of baseline when blending is enabled. One keeps full strength.
QSpring Start KnotsStarting value25 ktWhat it controls and whySets the IAS where the low-speed spring blend starts rising. This is a feel threshold, not a flight limit.
Spring response reference speedStarting value100 ktWhat it controls and whySets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.
Force tuning speed/referenceStarting value220 ktWhat it controls and whySets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.
Airspeed spring stiffening gainStarting value0.1 What it controls and whyThe high-speed spring-stiffening gain is 0.1. It strengthens the permitted spring response above 100 KIAS, with the squared-speed ratio capped at 5.
Airspeed spring stiffening limitStarting value5 What it controls and whyLimits the squared airspeed ratio used for high-speed spring stiffening; it is not a device-force cap.
Aileron force scaleStarting value0.85 What it controls and whyRoll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 0.85 and 1, respectively. They set the aerodynamic axis balance. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.
Elevator force scaleStarting value1 What it controls and whyScales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.

Trim reliefStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyAllows trim relief with supported control law and valid telemetry. Axis authorities set its amount.
Elevator AuthorityStarting value0.25 What it controls and whyElectric trim ailerons and mechanical elevator trim are separate from AP pitch attitude. Pitch authority 0.25 provides load relief and permitted centre movement; roll authority is 0.1.
Aileron AuthorityStarting value0.1 What it controls and whyScales supported roll-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes roll response.
Force Trim EnabledStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyEnables local force trim, separate from aircraft-owned trim and add-on integration qualification.
GLoad EnabledStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyAllows load-factor changes to modify permitted spring laws. Passive fly-by-wire feel can suppress it.
Rate Damping EnabledStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyEnables rate damping with the configured coefficients and control law.
Autopilot followStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyAutopilot following is off; the configured spring and load retain the hardware feel.
Autopilot follow authorityStarting value0.1 What it controls and whySets admitted AP-follow gain, not a percentage of travel. Runtime ownership and input limits still apply.
Autopilot neutral holdStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyPermits centering hold during a supported AP state, separate from following a moving target.
Autopilot neutral hold strengthStarting value0.6 What it controls and whySets admitted AP neutral-hold strength; inactive while neutral hold is disabled.
EnabledStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyEnables aerodynamic cues; each still needs nonzero strength and its simulator conditions.
GainStarting value0.25 What it controls and whySets stall-buffet strength. Zero removes the cue without changing simulator stalls or warnings.
GainStarting value0 What it controls and whySets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.
GainStarting value0 What it controls and whySets flap buffet at the configured position and speed gates. Flap movement texture is separate.
Maximum flap indexStarting value3 What it controls and whySets the final flap index for detent normalization. UP plus three detents uses maximum index3.
Minimum flap indexStarting value2 What it controls and whySets the first flap detent that admits buffet; this is a handle index, not degrees.
GainStarting value0.055 What it controls and whySets gear aerodynamic buffet; movement and ground-contact cues are separate.
Shaker EnabledStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyPermits shaker at supported warning conditions; the switch does not establish aircraft equipment.
Stick shaker amplitudeStarting value0.5 What it controls and whySets triggered shaker strength; inactive while the shaker feature is disabled.
EnabledStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyEnables ground effects; each still needs its own strength and contact or motion telemetry.
GainStarting value0.24 What it controls and whySets rolling texture strength, modified by speed, surface and undercarriage configuration.
GainStarting value0.18 What it controls and whySets gear-bump texture during ground motion, separate from touchdown impact.
GainStarting value0.4 What it controls and whySets landing-impact strength; landing telemetry and response shape determine the pulse.
GainStarting value0.14 What it controls and whySets reverse-thrust vibration with valid reverser and engine conditions. Zero removes the cue.
EnabledStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyEnables engine cues with nonzero settings and valid running-engine telemetry.
GainStarting value0.07 What it controls and whySets estimated engine vibration using configured telemetry and response, not measured cockpit vibration.
EnabledStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyEnables accessory cues with configured strengths and observed accessory movement.
GainStarting value0.055 What it controls and whySets texture from observed flap movement; a command without movement does not establish the cue.
GainStarting value0.06 What it controls and whySets texture from observed gear movement, separate from aerodynamic and touchdown effects.
Limits and open questions
  • Force amplitudes, damping and response curves are editable estimates, not measured hand forces. Installed and physical checks remain deferred.
  • No custom servo target, failure, control-lock or maintenance-state interface is inferred. AP follow and neutral hold are off; the simulator retains aircraft control authority.
  • GNS430/530 panel with documented GPSS converter; optional RealityXP fit is not a new force model.
  • Roll-spoiler hinge forces and independent left/right trim-aileron failures are not separately modelled; ordinary aileron-surface follow and generic speedbrake effects are disabled.
  • Pulsed/delayed flaps use actual motion only. Sustained actual-only flap cues require a separately versioned policy; missing surface telemetry cannot be replaced with a claimed actuator state.
  • Old overview prose discusses a future XP12 port, but current publisher and version2.1 notes confirm XP12 release. Linked2.2 notes return404; no2.2 release inferred.
  • Overview table repeats MU2B60_4B_GNS.acf for the 5-blade GNS row; the described 5B naming convention is used provisionally. Matching needs explicit developer and variant or a saved aircraft-default binding.

Physical validation

No physical force validation is recorded in this public catalogue for this revision. Documentary review and software checks do not establish how a particular device feels.
