Ansett Australia
----------------
Ansett Australia is based at Melbourne International Airport and
operates both domestic and international routes throughout
Australasia. They also have a very good looking web site at
http://www.ansett.com.au, check it out.
BAe146
------
The BAe146 started life in the early 1970's as a project of
Hawker Siddeley Aviation to produce a short range, quiet airliner
as a replacement for the existing turboprop designs. The oil crisis
and economic recession of the mid 70's resulted in the project
being put on hold until 1978 by which time HS was part of the newly
created British Aerospace. Initially there were two versions, the
100 seating 72-82 pax and the 200 seating 85-100, both were
certified in 1983. By 1987 the stretched 300 series was available.
Although the aircraft is powered by 4 turbofans it has proved to be
more fuel efficent than many of its competitors and one of the
quietest jets available. This has made it a popular choice for
regional airlines, particularly in the USA, where noise limits
restrict access to many smaller airports. The aircraft also has
good STOL capabilities opening up airports previously only available
to turboprops.

Flying the BAe146
-----------------
The settings shown here are based on the descriptions in the book
'BAe146 in Europe' by Leo Marriott published by Ian Allan. Although
it deals with a 100 series and the autopilot on the real aircraft is
far more sophisticated than that of FS I have attempted to use the n1
values given as near as possible. These values were noted using the
aircraft with a full fuel load, the n1 readings were taken using Max
Spoerri's MD81 panel.
Take off:
Unless it's a short or high runway you don't need full throttle.
About 85% n1 with 2 notches of flap. Rotate at 140kts. Gear up on
positive climb and flaps up as the speed passes 170kts. Push the nose
down gently to maintain and initial climb rate of 2000fpm.
Climb:
Set the required altitude on the autopilot to climb at 1800fpm.
While under 10,000' a throttle setting of 70% n1 will keep the speed
under 250kts. Above 10,000' increase to 80% n1 to build up the speed to
280-290kts. As the climb continues you will need to increase the throttle
to maintain 280kts. The service ceiling is 31,000' and will take about
20 minutes to get there from sea level.
Cruise:
Level off and keep the throttle at 95% just to build up to cruise speed.
83-85% n1 gives a cruise of 377kts and it will get up to 414kts with just
a bit more power.
Descent:
Above 10,000' reduce throttle to 60% n1 and using autopilot at 1500fpm it will
slow down to about 350kts. Below 10,000 reducing throttle to 35-40% n1 will get
it under 250kts (just).
It takes a while to reduce speed so either level off just above 10,000' to let
the speed bleed off or put the airbrakes on briefly ('/').
Holding/Approach Pattern:
Adjust the throttle to maintain 230-240kts.
Landing:
Gradually add flap to reduce speed and if needed put the airbrakes on. Aim to
cross the runway threshold at 120kts.
I would appreciate any comments you have about these notes. I am not a pilot
so my flying technique is based on reading about the subject and experimenting
with FS. Any suggestions for improvement will be gratefully received.
