This manual contains the information needed by the pilot to operate the trainer. The proce- dures presented are the result of ALSIM’s knowledge and experience up to the date of issue of the manual or its latest revision. The manual is not intended to be a guide for basic flight instruction or a training manual.
UNITS OF MEASUREMENT UNITS OF MEASUREMENT Again, this is not a complete units conversion table, but only a list of those units used in ALSIM Flight Manuals. All figures are rounded to the third digit after the decimal point. 0-7-1 Speed 1 Knot = 1 nautical mile per hour = 1.852 km/h...

Limitations AL250 Flight Manual GENERAL GENERAL This section provides the operating limitations and instrument markings for the AL250 BPG9 flight model. AIRSPEED LIMITATIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION (IAS) 1-2-1 TWO ENGINES OPERATING — never exceed speed ............202 kt —...
Maximum take-o weight ............3800 lbs CENTRE OF GRAVITY LIMITS The centre of gravity of the ALSIM AL250 is variable within a range of 0% to 100% (0% is maximum forward CG and 100% is maximum aft CG).
AUTOMATIC PILOT 1-11 AUTOMATIC PILOT The AL250 is equipped with an ALSIM autopilot. • During autopilot operation, the pilot must be seated at the controls. • The autopilot must be disabled for take-o , landing, and in approach below 200 ft AGL.

AVIONICS 6-7-2 ALSIM ALA-500 The Alsim ALA-500 is an integrated GPS/NAV/COM/ADF/XPDR device, providing these features through a simple, user-friendly interface, helping the instructor to focus on the essence of pilot training. The ALA-500 has been designed to reduce the complexity and time consuming use of existing devices.

Available as an option, is an original Garmin GTN 650. The Garmin GTN 650 connects to the autopilot, but all information regarding the aircraft position and speed are received from ALSIM’s flight model program. Therefore the GNS displays the current aircraft position at the same position as shown on the Instructor Station map.
6-7-4 Figure 6.40: ALSIM ADF The Alsim ADF consists of a digital display, one push button, a rotary OFF/ON switch, a volume control and a double encoder for frequency selection. Push the Tune button to select between ADF, ANT or BFO and turn the Tune knob to the desired frequency.
NAV/COM 2 Figure 6.41: ALSIM NAV/COM 2 The ALSIM NAV/COM 2 combines a VHF communications transceiver (COM 2) with 200 channel VOR, Localizer and Glideslope receivers (NAV 2). The COM 2 radio operates across the aviation voice band, in 8.33 kHz steps, from 118.000 to 136.975 MHz.
Communication between pilot(s) and/or instructor functions as in an aircraft, commu- nication with air tra c control needs to be simulated with the flight instructor playing the ATC role. For details of how ALSIM software supports this simulation, please refer to the Instructor’s Manual.
