1 Cockpit
The SA Aircrane features over 40 functioning instruments and gauges in the cockpit. This includes a set of primary instruments for the pilot and co-pilot, and a central set of shared gauges displaying engine and aircraft systems state. Three position lighting switches can be indepently controlled for the pilot, copilot and central flight instruments. The aircrane has over 60 functioning switches and rotary dials that control the various systems of the helicopter. The full start, modeled closely from the RL pilot's manual, is described in a 95 element checklist.
A "kPad" mounted on the pilot side of the cockpit includes an App for displaying the helicopter checklists as well as a GPS/transponder App.
2 Aircraft Systems
2.1 Fuel System
The aircrane has three separate fuel tanks: forward, aft and auxilary. Fuel quantity for each tank is separately maintained, and the Kelly fuel system allows you to select which tank to fuel, and he amount of fuel to add to that tank. Fuel system switches control separate pairs of pumps for the front and aft tanks, and a crossfeed switch allows the pilot to feed to an engine from either tank. Auxilary fuel pumps can be used to transfer fuel from auxilary tank to the forward or aft tanks.
2.2 Electrical System
Four separate electrical busses (one DC bus and three AC busses) can be controlled by the pilot, with different systems operating on different buses.
2.3 Hydraulic System
Some helicopter systems operate using one of the four hydraulic systems. Each hydraulic system is powered by different mechanisms and powers different systems in the helicopter.
