MILVIZ Cessna 310 - Real 310 pilot - step by step tutorial - startup to top-of-climb

[@clarkac1]

Really helpful thanks - love to see the follow up video.

[@flyboy98]

Thanks Andy. I’m having terrible issues with the Sim. Hope to make a video in the real airplane soon.

[@anthonymojica1783]

Yes it was very helpful Jason I also have a 310Q and a simulator with X Plane 11. I started my private pilot with a 310Q I know it was a big jump but I’m still flying with a CFII until I get it down pack this was the best plane option for my mission so why not learn with it from the beginning. I’ve learn and took so much advice from you and Firepilot and 310 you tube channel witch your guys put out awesome videos. Keep up the good work

[@samirzp]

This video is awesome! I look forward for the 2nd part.

[@flyboy98]

Thanks Samir. I’ll try to make the second video soon!

[@oliviera1246]

Many thanks Jason ! thumbs up

[@bernardanderson3758]

This is what I’ve been looking for in a 310 and I’m looking forward to more

[@dazknight9326]

Very informative. Thank you. Use to fly the Cessna 152 nd 172's myself. I love the plane cant wait to fly it.

[@vermin1970]

My favorite plane in MSFS, thanks for the explanations

[@dominicdaziel8556]

Gr8 flight insights bro...

[@delalima]

what i was looking for , thanks

[@aviationchris5091]

thank you, do you have the desc and landing tutorial?

[@flyboy98]

Unfortunately I never made it because I was experiencing a bug with the autopilot in the 310 in MSFS. In a nutshell…at top of descent reduce the manifold pressure to approximately 18 to 19 inches for descent. Leave the prop and mixture alone. When you enter the traffic pattern or join an instrument approach, reduce the manifold pressure to 17.5 inches to maneuver with gear and flaps up. This should give you around 115 knots. When you are abeam the runway (in the pattern), or intersecting the glide path, put the gear down and flaps to 15 degrees (approach). Place the props in high rpm (full forward), slightly enriched the mixture (approximately to number three marked on the quadrant), and run your checklist. Once you have the runway made reduce throttle a bit to maintain blue line and as you cross the threshold you can slowly reduce throttle to idle, round out,and set her down. Hope this helps.

[@bernardanderson3758]

When I get in the 310 this was a helpful tool

[@xenaandzenafromsanbernadin3807]

Thanks for this video. I noticed you kept the throttles firewalled throughout the climb but the Milviz checklist says to throttle back to 24.5in Hg. Is that because of the difference in engines between the Q and R models of the 310?

[@jasonbeall8094]

No it's an engine operating philosophy. See this article by Mike Bucsh...section on the first page 'THROTTLE'. resources.savvyaviation.com/wp-content/uploads/articles_eaa/EAA_2012-10_flying-efficiently.pdf

[@jasonbeall8094]

The actual Pilot's Operating Handbook for the airplane says you can either climb like I do with full throttle and learn to the altitude ranges, or you can reduce Manifold Pressure to top of Green and then lean fuel flow to the 75% power climb mark, which is the blue triangle labeled 75% climb on the fuel flow gauge. Either is acceptable but as I mentioned above the 'modern' guidance is to climb with full throttle, also termed Wide Open Throttle (WOT).

[@glenlivet4me503]

Can you make a video on landing a 310? Can you discuss differences between the real world and MSFS? Seems to be a big debate on how the MSFS Milviz 310R performs as compared to the real airplane... especially in the flare. Your opinion and experience would be greatly appreciated!

[@flyboy98]

I'm planning on it. Unfortunately I am experiencing issues with the HSI and GPS on the MILVIZ 310 so it's stopping me from completing a video. I'm waiting for a patch.

[@quantomic1106]

I like this product but I am unsure how realistic its stall and spin characteristics are. I tried to spin this thing many times but I could never manage to do so. Stalled it with full rudder deflection into the spin but no luck. I've never flown a 310 real world, so I can't speak to that. I however have hundreds of total hours in real life in 172, 182, 206, and M20J. Maybe someone can enlighten me here.

[@flyboy98]

You know i've never tried spinning it. It's not something you'd try in the real airplane. I can say that I orginally bought it to practice engine failure drills and it's NOT realistic in it's single engine handling. The yawing moment on engine failure is way too dramatic. Thanks!

[@quantomic1106]

@@flyboy98 I see. Yeah, I heard that it's very tough to get out of a spin in a 310 especially if you have those main tanks maxed out. I normally do stall checks on payware planes to see if they behave similarly to real life, if so, then you know that the developers did their homework to include that detail into the flight model. Yeah, I noticed that too when I had an engine failure in the sim. I thought the plane was going to do a 180 and then violently swung back and forth. As I said, I've never flown a 310 so thanks for confirming that it's not realistic single-engine behavior.

[@brianb1266]

Thanks Jason. Hope you get a chance to do the 2nd part when you’re getting the 30K of work done IRL

[@maxtech27]

Thanks that was very helpful

[@septabrizi]

fantastic, Thank you

[@Tortentaenzer]

very useful and interesting. thx!

[@mocha2168]

Jason, nice video. Using a home based sim is a great tool for learning and maintaining proficiency. If you don’t mind me asking, what are your system specs ? Your frame rates are really smooth and I’m wondering if my system is dogging it.

[@flyboy98]

Hi Leo, I’m traveling right now and will let you know week after next when I return. It was a home built system and I can’t recall!

[@bro977]

Could you give some guidance on flying the traffic pattern in this aircraft? Thx Lee

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

G,day Jason from Sydney Australia. Are the checklists in the POH of all Cessna planes and the owner just prints them out: laminated card and in the side door pocket? 🌏🇦🇺

[@jasonbeall8094]

Hi John, typically yes. Most of these airplanes are so old that either the owner just prints them out; alternatively there are multiple companies that sell laminated checklists as an aftermarket option. Take care!

[@mitchellloder1032]

Thanks

[@andrewjamez]

This plane might operate accurately but I’ve sensed from the release that it lacks any life to it.

[@flyboy98]

Andrew now that I have flown it some more it's pretty poorly modelled. I'm not a huge fan of it. The single engine behavior is nothing like the real 310.

[@gorillachinchilla1668]

​@flyboy98 That's really disheartening to hear. I've been putting a lot of time into learning this plane in the sim, and now it feels like a bit of a waste. Nevertheless videos such as yours are a fantastic resource - thank you for putting this together.

[@Boradumir]

would the engines start in real life if you don't prime them?
