How to Fly the B727

[Lluis del Cerro]

Hi,

I am trying to fly as correctly as possible the B727-200 Adv and have had no problems (as always) installing the wonderful HJG aircraft. Our VA (Catalonian Airlines - http://www.catalonian-airlines.cat) has the DC85 and the B463 in our fleet with very good manuals on how to use the panels and fly the aircraft. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find in the HJG website any manual on how to properly fly this aircraft (technical data, performances, take off power depending on aircraft load, etc.). Could anyone help me to find any manual on this?

Thanks in advance,

Lluís

We don't offer any realworld manuals/data regarding flying these aircraft .... BUT .... if you go to our "ABOUT HJG AIRCRAFT" forum page .... then dentify the thread entitled "B727 PANEL INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES" .... at the end of this thread I have compiled a basic flying guide for each of our B727 aircraft types. Our performances are indeed very vlose to th official numbers .... whilst also bearing in mind certain limitations of the M$ host program.

Also .... if you search "MATT ZAGOREN" on FS.COM .... then sift through all the targets (only a few pages) .... then you should find B727 PERFORMANCE & LIMITATIONS data which Matt has compiled exppecially for FS use .... though probably not for our aircraft modelling specifically.

FYI .... Matt has also compiled similar Performance & Limitations data for quite a number of FS aircraft .... including B707, DC8, and DC9 .... all of which HJG represents.

Good evening,

Thank you very much Mark C. That was exactly what I was looking for.

I've used Matt Zagoren's documentation before, but I did not remember the web page. By the way, his web page is:

Cheers,

You might want to check this site:

It has a pretty good systems description and notes about operations in general.
