Page 2 MV MD530F ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL Welcome to the MV MD530F Helicopter. We have strived to make this one the best simulation that we can. We worked hard, studied hard and talked to pilots from around the world. If you should require or need support, please contact mailto:roadburner440@milviz.com?subject=Support forums with your proof of purchase and your requested username.

Before it runs, it will probably ask you to accept running this program. Please click RUN! See pic here:...
Page 4 MV MD530F ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL After you've chosen run, you will then be presented with the ACM: You may pick and choose the items you wish to display on the model, pick the avionics you wish to have and, pick the state of the aircraft.
Page 5 MV MD530F ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL There is also a controls menu selection that you may click. This allows you to use what is called FORCE TRIM. Though this doesn't actually exist in the MD530, there is a similar system that does essentially the same thing. It looks like this: Once you've done all of these, please press SAVE SETUP.
Page 6 MV MD530F ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL 7)As the engine spools up, the pilot rotates the twist grip to maintain between 760-820C TOT (the temp will drop if you don't maintain it with the twist grip because more cooling air is coming into the engine) Engine starts that are allowed to go below 760C are bad for the engine (due to a shift in the flame pattern) and the manual says to abort the start if the temps don't go above 760C.

FIRE The safety of the helicopter occupants is the primary consideration when a fire occurs. Therefore, if airborne, it is imperative that the pilot maintain control of the aircraft and land immediately.
Page 79 MD 500 CSP−HE/HS−1 ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL Emergency and (Models 369HE/HS/HM) Malfunction Procedures Procedures: Aircraft Evacuation A thorough preflight passenger briefing is essential for a quick and safe evacuation of passengers and crew when fire is involved. How to release seat belts, the opening of doors, the proper exiting of the helicopter keeping head and hands low to avoid the main rotor, are all critical to insure the safety of passengers and crew.
