Flying the CL-415

Install the Bombardier CL-415 into your FS2002 \aircraft folder. If you haven't already done so, follow the instructions on our installation page. Press the 'S' key to see the 2D cockpit; press the 'S' key again to see the 3D cockpit and twice more to see the Hornet from the spot plane view. Here's a quick walk around: Press 'E' to start the engine. Press F8 to see the flaps slowly drop into position. Press F5 to retract the flaps for takeoff. Press the stick forward and back to see the elevator move up and down. Press the stick from side to side to see the rudder and ailerons move. After you take off, press 'G' to see the landing gears fold into the fuselage underneath.   Takeoff Taxi out and set flaps (F7). Give it full throttle and accelerate. Upon reaching 40 knots you'll be on the hump so give it slight forward pressure on the stick to keep there. When you reach 90 knots pull back and you'll be airborne. Climb to your desired cruising altitude and set throttle to cruising speed. Firefighting The usual speed for flying the firefighting circuit is 150 knots. As you approach the drop spot, slow to 105-110 knots. The heat of the fire will cause turbulence. Upon reaching the target, drop the water (I). Accelerate to 150 knots for your next go-around. Landing You can approach at about 120 knots. On short final, drop your flaps to full (F8) and lower your gear (G). Stall speed is about 70 knots. Touch down on the main gear and gently lower the nose gear.
