Flying the EA-6B Prowler

Install the EA-6B Prowler to your FSX \SimObjects\Airplanes folder or FS2004 \aircraft folder. If you haven't already done so, follow the instructions on our installation page.

For FSX, press the 'S' key to view the 3D virtual cockpit; press 'A' to cycle to the 2D cockpit. Press 'S' to cycle to the spot plane view.

For FS2004, 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 aircraft from the spot plane view.

Here's a quick walk around:

  • Move the stick forward and back to see elevators move up and down.
  • Move the stick from side to side to see the rudder move side to side.
  • Press '/' to deploy the spoilers.
  • Press Shift + 'E' to see the main door and close
  • In the 3D cockpit view you'll see the stick and pedals move.

Takeoff

Taxi to the runway. You won't need flaps for takeoff.

Apply full throttle.

When you reach about 110 knots, rotate to liftoff.

Build up speed to about 130 knots and climb to assigned altitude.

Landing

Approach speed is about 140 knots.

You'll want to deploy full flaps on final and maintain speed of 120 knots.

Over the numbers you'll be about 100 knots as you touchdown on the main gear.
