Topcat

Topcat is a program for calculating the Take-Off and Landingprestaties.

This program provides you with Load Sheets, Payload, Fuelload, Take-Off and Landing performance analysis, Individual Runway Tables including V1, VR and V2, optimum thrust and flaps configurations, de-rated and assumed/flex temperatures and stop margins.

Different weerservers (ASE, IVAO , etc.) you can pair it with Topcat.

This tool is for those who are a little deeper like to take in the matter how you, like in the real vliegwereld, according to the rules of the art, safer and more efficient takeoff and landing.

So something for the simmers that want more ...

Landing lights toggle switch caps

The " landing lights toggle switch caps that I have ordered GLB Flight Products have arrived.

The caps that are on their website are only suitable for switch shafts are of max 3 mm. A little too small for my landingswitchen because they are from the top 5 mm and bottom 4 mm. Without additional price increase Geremy Britton of GLB Flight Products, custom-made shafts made that will fit on my landingswitchen.

A set consists of 4 caps. The shaft is made from aluminium and the top part with the 3 scoops out of plastic. They are nicely made but the paint was a little more sophisticated, be done.

  • White caps on the rockers (not in stock);
  • Black aluminum decals (not in stock);

Throughout the story of the OVH with a pack of photos is found on the following pages :
