Would someone with DC-3 experience please advise the SOPs (Prop RPMs, MAP Power settings, speeds and flap settings) for take-off, climb, downwind, base and finals, and landing for a visual circuit. Also, for a precision approach / missed approach.
Needed so we can fly the FS 2000 Simulator with realism.
In anticipation, many thanks!

Abgo:

The following should be what you want.

Take off: 2700 R.P.M. 48 inches M.P.

Climb: 2300 R.P.M. 35 inches M.P.

climb: 95 knots

Down wind: 2050 R.P.M. 27 INCHES M.P.

130 knots

Final: 2050 R.P.M. 18 Inches M.P.

95 Knots

Flaps As desired, recommend half then full

Close throttles before flare and props full foward.

That is close enough for a start.

:) The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no. :)
