March 2, 200422 yr Hi again, Another day and another question for the 1900 and king air experts who have been so helpful. I've noticed with the PMDG1900 (and the default king air for that matter) that when the approach flaps are deployed, the aircraft has a tendency to pitch up rather forcefully. In order to counteract this tendency, I use a combination of forward yoke pressure with nose down trim until the plane stabilises. I have flown on the 1900 in real life, and I can't recall the nose pitching up so forcefully when the approach flaps are deployed (maybe it's not that noticeable as a passenger). I was wondering, though, if this a realistic representation of what happens in real life, and is there a preferred method of dealing with this if it is the case?Thanks for any responseJ.C. (MYNN)
March 2, 200422 yr This will result in almost any airplane if you deploy the flaps prior to the proper speed, either bottom of the white arc or no usually no more than 10kts faster than the bottom of the white arc. Speed is key. By deploying the flaps when moving fast, you're rapidly increasing the wing surface creating more lift.
March 2, 200422 yr Hi Dan, The flaps are being deployed as per the recommended maximum placard speeds, i.e. 188Knts (flaps 17) and 143Knts(flaps 35). J.C. (MYNN)
March 2, 200422 yr Ahhhhh......I would suggest posting over in the pmdg forum. I've noticed a little balloning but I just pull out a little more power to help calm it.
