SU567 Moscow - Pyongyang with Tu-154B2

[Neuhaus 1]

Forgot to mention the boosters. I had them on too, if you mean the three switches on the front pedestal. What warning lights?

Yes, those things... They activate the flight controls for all three hydraulic systems.

 

Does the siren come on when you advanced throttles to takeoff thrust?

 

If the plane is not properly configured for take off, you will see a flashing red light on the top of your main panel to the left.

Great read, nice pics and a well written documentary of the journey.

 

Respect!

Yes the flashing red light came on when the battery was connected to the electrical bus and never went away. I got the take-off warning siren, but silenced it since I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Reading the manual, there looks to be some sort of bank angle limiter that's also supposed to be placed at 10 degrees, is that correct or did I misunderstand the manual? I know that the nosewheel has to be limited to 10 degrees movement on take-off.

It is normal, indicator not ready for take off flashing light will always be there unless correctly configured.Bank angle limiter I have not heard of, it can be set on the NVU pedestal but not needed unless you use such systrem. I'm not sure if it works in conjuction with I-21 Inertial Navigation system but can check in the RLE.

 

Nosewheel must be limited, yes. I assume with bank angle you mean the stabilizer with forward, center and backward zone that must be set on takeoff? However, that one doesn't have anything to do with the warning siren and the Tu-154 won't detect wrong settings on stabilizator, you're on your own.

 

Go to hosthenpost.org and upload screenshots of main panel, flight engineer panel and pedestal, also overhead if possible, to identify the errors.
