Pilot’s Manual DCS [Yak - 52] Dear pilots! We thank you for your purchase of the DCS: Yak-52 module. This module is a simulator of one of the most popular training aircraft in the USSR and post-Soviet states. This module is our first foray into the world of training aircraft; as it is in real life, fledgling pilots will be able to begin their journey to the skies in a craft that is simple and easy to maneuver, while seasoned veterans will have at their disposal an elegant and beautiful aircraft for use in sports and aerobatic performances in the skies of DCS. Like all the DCS modules that came before it, the Yak-52 is a thoroughly reproduced model of the aircraft: including the exterior, cabins, mechanical/electrical systems, and aerodynamic characteristics. Pilots and experts of the "Первый полет" (First Flight) flying club were involved in the development of this module, which made it possible to actively use real aircraft, as well as the invaluable experience of people who have worked with the craft, in our work. This has allowed us to create one of the most accurate virtual realizations of the Yak-52 in history. The Yak-52's two-seat cockpit layout will also allow for online training sessions in the same aircraft between experienced pilots and their apprentices. The module supports all the basic functionality of both cabins, with real differences and locks, both for the trainee pilot and their instructor. We wish you clear skies ahead. The DCS: Yak-52 Development Team. 2 FOREWORD [Yak - 52] DCS TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD ................................................................................................................................................ 12 YAK-52: THE CUTTING EDGE IN TRAINING AVIATION ................................................................................................ 12 AIRCRAFT DESIGN ...................................................................................................................................... 15 GENERAL INFORMATION ..................................................................................................................................... 15 AIRFRAME CONSTRUCTION ........................................................................................................................ 18 FUSELAGE ........................................................................................................................................................ 18 COCKPIT AND CANOPY ........................................................................................................................................ 19 Canopy Cover ........................................................................................................................................... 19 Pilot Seating ............................................................................................................................................. 20 WINGS ............................................................................................................................................................ 20 Wing Framework ...................................................................................................................................... 20 Ailerons .................................................................................................................................................... 21 Landing Flaps ........................................................................................................................................... 21 TAIL ................................................................................................................................................................ 21 Tailfin ....................................................................................................................................................... 21 Rudder ...................................................................................................................................................... 21 Stabilizers ................................................................................................................................................. 22 Elevators .................................................................................................................................................. 22 CONTROL SYSTEMS ............................................................................................................................................ 22 Elevator Control ....................................................................................................................................... 23 Aileron Control ......................................................................................................................................... 24 Control Stick and Control Shaft ................................................................................................................ 24 Rudder control ......................................................................................................................................... 24 Front cabin pedals .................................................................................................................................... 25 Rear cabin pedals ..................................................................................................................................... 26 Elevator trimmer control .......................................................................................................................... 26 Landing flap control ................................................................................................................................. 26 TAKEOFF AND LANDING GEAR .............................................................................................................................. 27 EAGLE DYNAMICS 3 DCS [Yak -
