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.

Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirante ↗Research-based aircraft background

Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirante

The Bandeirante's controls are cable-operated, with trim tabs on three axes. NextGen's July 2026 manual describes these mechanisms alongside the cockpit and autopilot equipment of its native MSFS 2024 generation.

The earlier EMB-110 package contains P, P1 and P1K aircraft with modernised navigation choices. V2 is a separate MSFS 2024 product, with P, P1 passenger, P1 cargo and P2 configurations and its own custom interfaces.

Flight planning has a separate entry page

The navigation unit provides a flight-planning page for airport entries, alongside radio-navigation tuning. The manual distinguishes storing a plan in that page from entering VOR, TACAN or ADF information.

Accessible systems with a documented autopilot scope

DC Designs describes an accessible A-10C implementation and identifies its trim and autopilot controls. The guide states that the autopilot does not provide NAV-coupled operation.

Different control axes use different feel mechanisms

Just Flight's F28 guide describes spring feel and datum-shift trim for roll and yaw, with a different arrangement for the elevator. Hydraulic failures also have distinct effects depending on the system involved. The stick shaker disengages the autopilot's pitch channel in the documented design, connecting stall warning with flight-guidance behaviour.

Switch between the package’s panel arrangements

The manual describes a period-inspired standard panel, an alternate arrangement with a Sperry autopilot, and a modern configuration with GNS530 and GNS430 navigation. A knob beside the chronometer changes the panel. The standard arrangement also includes navigation aids beyond the earliest historical installation.
