FOR AIRCRAFT DEVELOPERS

Research aircraft and systems

Find aircraft background, systems descriptions and manuals for the aircraft you are researching. Each note keeps its source and version context close by.

Simulator manuals describe the developer’s implementation. Aircraft background is research-based; pilot accounts describe an individual’s experience. Coverage here is limited to the selected notes and linked resources, not the full contents of every manual.

Boarding connects the planned load to the aircraft

The boarding page offers instant, fixed-duration and variable-duration loading. Entering new target weights does not itself complete boarding: the fields show progress as the load changes, and editing them afterwards requires another loading cycle.

An older regional jet's flight-control architecture

The 146 manual describes autopilot movement of the control columns and elevator servo tabs, automatic pitch trim and flap-dependent trim speed. It also explains the SYNC function and distinguishes stick shakers from the nose-down stall-identification force.

Thrust control and pressurisation change in the RJ

Just Flight's comparison explains how the RJ's digital engine control, thrust-rating panel and autothrottle work together. Its simulated pressurisation system is fully automatic after the landing altitude is set, whereas the 146 Professional uses a semi-automatic arrangement. Automatic lift-spoiler deployment is another difference described for landing and rejected takeoff.

Vertical guidance remains advisory

RJ Professional models the GNLU-910A flight-management system, including climb, cruise and descent predictions. The comparison booklet explicitly says its VNAV is not coupled to the autopilot. For a non-precision approach, the simulated VNAV APPROACH function uses waypoint altitudes to generate an advisory path indication on the navigation display. The displayed vertical path is advisory.

The RJ is a systems development of the 146

The RJ documentation covers its flight-guidance computers and autoland modes and annunciations. Just Flight also provides a dedicated differences booklet. The booklet compares the RJ and 146 flight decks and systems.

Choose among passenger, cargo and RAF variants

The X-Plane 12 package lists eight configurations, including the 100, 200 and 300 passenger aircraft, QC/QT freighters and RAF CC.Mk2 and C.Mk3. The EFB sets passengers, cargo and fuel for the selected aircraft.

Just Flight lists a custom UFMC, the default X-Plane FMC and optional Reality XP GTN750 compatibility. Its tablet supports AviTab and controls aircraft doors and call-outs. These options describe the X-Plane 12 edition.

BAe 146 / Avro RJ ↗Research-based aircraft background

BAe 146 / Avro RJ

The BAe 146 was developed for short-haul airline service, with -100, -200 and -300 fuselage lengths. Its high wing and T-tail make it readily recognisable. The Avro RJ continued the family with revised engines, avionics and other systems.

The 146 and RJ have different flight-guidance systems and cockpit arrangements. Just Flight documents them in separate manuals and a differences guide.
