The low gear speed surprises me. Both my Aztec and my Comanche have gear speeds of 150 mph (130 kts). The gear door structure of the Comanche seem substantially flimsier than that of the CJ. OTOH, I don't have anything to measure against. -- Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza, Suite 201 brian@lloyd.com St. Thomas, VI 00802 +1.340.998.9447 - voice +1.360.838.9669 - fax

    Subject: Re: gear and flap speeds for CJ6A
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Mike McCoy" <mike@aircraftsales.com> OK, OK! I'll answer this (and probably be sorry that I did). First of all, I don't know anything about these "knots". Commie airplanes use kilometers per hour! Fred was told by the Chi-com military that the max gear speed was 250 kilometers per hour and the maximum flap speed was 200 kilometers per hour. In a normal pattern, I put the gear down at 220 kilometers per hour and the flaps down at 170 kilometers per hour. In reality, even these numbers are conservative. I have occasionally had a gear come out inadvertently (due to adjustment issues, lock problems, etc) during test flying at speeds well in excess of 300 kilometers per hour and at nearly 6 G's. (At Yakity Yaks, we test fly all of our airplanes through their entire G-range, speed range, and aerobatic maneuver list prior to the customer receiving the airplane). Anyway, even though a gear has come out at these extreme speeds and g-forces, I have never seen any damage what-so-ever to the gear, gear doors, or any other structure. In addition, I certainly would not pretend that the numbers for the CJ6A are the same as the T-34 (or any other airplane). These are 2 completely different airplanes. I am very surprised that the "designer" of the airplane can't come up with better information than to say that the CJ6A has similar numbers to an American airplane that he may or may not be familiar with. As for the "CJ flight manual", it's full of garbage as far as I can tell. I can't verify its origin and I don't believe that much of the information contained in it is accurate. On another subject, I am continually surprised by the lack of concern for safety by the frequent typers on this list. If you were actually concerned for your fellow pilots, then you'd be putting peer pressure on the weaker pilots to be safe instead of facilitating their dangerous behavior. You will note that I predicted the recent accident that was posted on the Yak List. In addition, I know that at least one very prominent checkpilot of the YPA contacted this individual in the past to express his concern for this pilot's behavior. This accident was entirely predictable and more needless accidents will surely follow UNLESS we get serious about safety. Also, the frequent typers on this list do NOT represent the majority of the CJ community. I receive frequent e-mails and phone calls from the silent majority who express shock at the lack of safety and discipline by the few. The majority of CJ owners are good pilots with an excellent safety record. The few weak sticks in our community make us all look bad. You will be seeing this in your insurance premiums in the future. I received an e-mail from a CJ pilot a few days ago who has had his insurance go from $2,400 per year (high hull value) to $4,800 per year. He has a perfect safety record and AIG is his underwriter. If AIG is doubling the insurance premiums, then maybe yours will be next. Mike (a few bad apples will ruin it for everyone) McCoy Mike McCoy

    Subject: One less Sukhoi
    --> Yak-List message posted by: cjpilot710@aol.com I watch a man die on Saturday. He had maybe 2 seconds to realize he was about to hit the ground. Myself and a bunch of other flyers feared it was coming sooner than that. I had watched him doing two performances during this show. They looked flawless and safe and I believe he was wavered to the lowest level. At least his routine took him down to 100'. In the end it didn't really have to be. This was pickup performance, something thought up an hour or two before. Something different. Does that ring a bell? There was one of those jet power funny cars. Zero to 350 mph in 3 seconds. They decided they were going to race. The Sukhoi started a speed run with the car sitting on the runway ready to light off as the plane came abeam of him. However the engine on the car didn't light off and the Sukhoi sped passed. The pilot seeing this pulled up in what looked like an oblique Immelman. As he got to the 180, the funny car's engine cut in. For some reason I had not taken my eyes off the airplane. I could tell the moment the pilot saw the car go, he rolled steeper and pulled harder. After about a 45 degree change in heading, the airplane's nose is maybe 30 degrees off the vertical down and in a 60 degree bank. He is about 150 feet in the air. I do believe at that point, he was a dead man. He continues pull though. The airplane was changing attitude at a rate that seem like it would make it, but I could see that it's actual arch was much wider and would hit the ground. About 30 feet in the air, the pilot must have saw it coming and pulled harder and hit an accelerated stall, because the rate of pitch change stopped. The airplane's attitude when he hit was slight left bank (<20 degrees) and nose down about 10 degrees. It just stopped dead. From point of impact to wreckage was 5 feet. No fire, just a big chuck of muck from where he hit, flung 30 to 40 feet ahead of him. The engine had broke off and gone under the airplane. This was high time guy folks. A professional. And from what I saw of him and his friends, a nice person. If this scares some of you, that's good. I considered this guy "good" and it has scared me, because I know what he was trying to do. Save the act for the crowed. Running scared is how the human race has survived.

    Subject: One less Sukhoi (Interavia SP-95)
    --> Yak-List message posted by: Mark Schrick <schrick@pacbell.net> Jim, Thank you for the report. We all should remember that this is a serious hobby and we should all look out for each other. The aircraft was a 1995 Interavia SP-95 or known as a E-3 later. It did have the M-14P (360 HP) engine and was stressed to +12/-9 G's and 5 spars. What happened here was not the aircraft. Be safe out there.

    Subject: Re: gear and flap speeds for CJ6A
    --> Yak-List message posted by: Michael Di Marco <mgdimarco@yahoo.com> I personally use 200 and 170 (150 preferred) kpc for gear and flap respectively. One suggested comparisons on other aircraft and there relative door size/structure. That is one of the factors that goes into gear speeds. Attach structure, motive force available and airstream changes over flight controls are others. Extended speeds can be higher than extension or retraction speeds. Retraction and extension speeds can differ as well. The best source is those who originally designed and flew the airplane.....the Chicoms. Maybe someone over there can verify the information exchanged here. Mike Di Marco China Blue ---------------------------------

    --> Yak-List message posted by: Mark Schrick <schrick@pacbell.net> Alan, The only person I would call that is an OWNER / PILOT of a very nice YAK 52 and YPA member is Tom Johnson of Cannon Aviation Insurance. Call him, you will get the straight scoop and NO BS. Tom Johnson 1983 Yak 52, N524TJ Senior Account Executive Cannon Aviation Insurance Tel: 800-851-2997 Fax: 480-951-1455 Cell: 602-628-2701 I also read this morning about HIGH INSURANCE. Please before we get into raised prices and higher rates we need to know all the facts. I have seen people that own a A36 Bonanza then place their Yak on the SPAM CAN insurance policy. This gives you a much higher rate. Cannon Aviation is set up for WARBIRDS and gives the opportunity to provide discounts if you continue to take training, attend YPA events, ALL REDSTAR, FAST, ect....... My insurance on all three of my planes are respectable price wise with advise in advance of my renewal with Tom Johnson on what is needed to lower my insurance or better position myself for lower premiums. I am not saying everyone can get lower rates (time, time in type, experience, training...)but what I am saying is do not wait until the last minute to shop and be proactive in your questions and your training. Good luck and be safe out there.............

And real pilots are smart enough to use any instrument indication and are able to move between them. I have had to accommodate kph, kts, and mph in various CJ6As I have flown. I try to get them to stick with kts or kph. Since everything else in the US is calibrated in kts, including ATC, it seems pretty reasonable to use that here. > Fred was told by the Chi-com military that the max gear speed was 250 > kilometers per hour 135 kts > and the maximum flap speed was 200 kilometers per hour. 108 kts > In a normal pattern, I put the gear down at 220 kilometers per hour and the > flaps down at 170 kilometers per hour.

They certainly seem so although I have seen some cracking on the edges of the gear doors but I have attributed that to the flexing when the doors close against the wing skin. > In addition, I certainly would not pretend that the numbers for the CJ6A are > the same as the T-34 (or any other airplane).

Ah, but he is the designer. He is as close to an oracle as we are likely to get. Now you have in the past taken people to task for "making things up" and you have made a point of adhering to the chinese "standards". What is more "standard" than the word of the aircraft designer? > As for the "CJ flight manual", it's full of garbage as far as I can > tell.

Again, how do we pick and choose our oracles? Or are you now saying that we can evaluate things and accept or deny based on our own experiences and our own evaluation of the aircraft? Seems to me you took me to task for that in the past. Unfortunately we can't have it both ways, i.e. adherence to the Chinese standards or figuring it out for ourselves. > On another subject, I am continually surprised by the lack of concern for > safety by the frequent typers on this list.

I am not aware of a single person on this list who disregards safety or facilitates anyone's "dangerous behavior." Everyone I know is interested in safety and safe flying. To suggest oterwise does us all a disservice. -- Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza, Suite 201 brian@lloyd.com St. Thomas, VI 00802 +1.340.998.9447 - voice +1.360.838.9669 - fax

I have one that Doug Sapp obtained from the Military Publishing House of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and is entitled "Type-6 Primary Trainer", "Pilot's Flight Manual". It has 155 pages with 6 Chapters: 1. Traffic Pattern Flight 2. Aerobatic Flight 3. Formation Flight 4. Hooded Flight 5. Pilot Navigation 6. Emergency Procedures. Does Yakity Yaks offer a different publication? Craig Payne > > Mike McCoy wrote: > > > As for the "CJ flight manual", it's full of garbage as far as I can > > tell.

    Subject: Believe it or not...
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Drew Blahnick" <Drew@allredstar.com> Folks, This ATC conversation occured last Thursday near Fresno while I flew formation in my CJ with Barry in his twin commander heading to Castle for our site survey and meeting with the suits, I kid you not with this. The controller was assisting us in our in-trail BVR rejoin as I had departed 20 minutes ahead of Barry, all I can say is this guy must be reading Sport Aviation or one of the other rags we've ended up in; ATC: Yak 56TR say destination Castle, Mike-Echo-Romeo ATC: Hey, you guys heading to the Oshkosh of the west? long pause... Barry: You wouldn't mean the Red Star event in May would you? ATC: Yea thats it... So on tac freq we decided to shore up a pattern controller position we needed, so we came back on and invited him to attend and help out... I kid you not, the power of participation... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ACM: For the left coasters, I spoke with Harry Hirshman who is heading up the ACM clinic and we are recruiting several military instructors, the goal being to insure if you sign up for this block, we will have staffing to accomodate you. The course is a min of two rides, concentrating on safety and standardized procedures, along with Tactical Formation. Aerobatics: We have a well known aerobatics school coming out from Livermore, Attitude Aviation, as well as other guest help. One of the owners of the school will be giving a briefing and will have instructors available for flight instruction. YPA FAST Clinic: Returns as always. As with other flying blocks, we will have those big white grease boards for flight scheduling this year... Flight Safety: We have Allen Silvers returning and he still plans to bailout of a CJ as long as the FAA and Airfield mgmnt can handle it. Flight Suits Inc. is considering attending to speak on, you guessed it, flight suits and helmets. Maintenaince: Vladimir on airframe and engines, Jack Flagler on dynamic prop balancing and crankshaft vibration testing, American Propeller on anything MT, Steve Kalmer on jet engines/airframe and jet transition training... Hotels and cars: As Tony Soprano says, "Fugget-a-bout-it", we take care of that and no need to rent a car. Yes, we improved the blanket situation too ;) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ We would like to see as much online registration as possible, I realize we all are glued to the war, and we should be, drop by www.allredstar.com and check out the event, register if you are coming, Barry has posted a 10% savings and T-Shirt to those prepaying before March 31st. Take care all, fly safe! See ya next month... Drew Allen Blahnick All Red Stars Cell310-386-9181 www.allredstar.com "Communism: Lousy Politics - Great Airplanes"
