Bulldog Manuals?
Dear All,
If anyone can help with this, I'd be very grateful indeed...
Essentially, I’m looking to get hold of the RAF Bulldog Student Study Guide and Instructor Guides again if possible. I’m an ex-UAS student (MASUAS ’98-’01) and have decided that the time is now right to get back into a Bulldog, having flown nothing but an airliner for the last 15 years! I’d really like to peruse the manuals again to get ahead of the game before my first trip… All my manuals were necessarily handed back on leaving MASUAS unfortunately.
Can anyone help? All previous leads from a search on the forum seem to have expired unfortunately. I fully appreciate that some may rather not share; obviously no problem in that case!
Thanks for your time.
Kind regards,
Cuban_8.

Interesting checklist, but not the standard CFS one.
Whare did that originate? I'm surprised there was more than one checklist for a single mark aeroplane - was it a special for UAS or Air cadets? I see it mentions headset which says it wasn't for normal military use.

Cuban_8, your welcome, I was ground trade but saw this and enjoy searching the internet for information, both for work and leisure, however I have currently failed to find your instructor guides so far.
Noflynomore: as above, so sorry I am unable to answer your questions.

I have PDFs of the POH and study guide, also a reputable organisation's in-house checklist and a personal reminder card of key details.
My PPrune message box is full and I have given up on trying to keep space in it - email, I say again, email me a valid email address and I'll send you copies. Either through PPrune, or boffin at engineer dot com will reach me. Yes, the Bulldog is as much fun as you remember it was

Ah, MASUAS, quite simply the best of the UASs. Great QFIs (Rod N, Keith H, Ron C, Bob G, Graham T, Dave D, Rick H, Mike C, ) 3 runways, almost unlimited flying, Beach, Southport, friendly O- Mess, and that Meteor we used to sit on that is now flying again!!! Well it was the 80s, but what wonderful happy days!!!!
Hope this isn't too late -

I think I have all the documents you are looking for back at home. But I am down route for some time so PM me if you do not find what you are looking for and I will try and scan them when I return to blighty.

All,
Thank you everyone for all your help, I'm very grateful. All of the manuals I'm after seem to be out there and PMs have been sent to the relevant people...
One step closer to doing some proper aviating again!

Starting a Bulldog - Question
Hi all:
I was lucky enough to fly a Bulldog out of Prescott, AZ (N632BD) a few years ago. When starting we used Mag Setting BOTH. I see on here that it should have been LEFT only.
Silly (?) question: Why should you only start with a Left Mag setting?
Tim.

Tim.
It takes an almost constant time for the flame front to propagate so if the engine is turning slowly the spark needs to occur later than when it's turning fast. One mag has an impulse coupling which delays the ignition timing at cranking RPM. Many (most?) piston-engined aircraft use the same system. If there are separate switches the check list will tell you which to use for start; if you have a key switch the selection is done inside the switch in the start position.
Many years ago I hand swung an aircraft not knowing that the chap in the cockpit had selected both, the engine fired backwards and I received two broken fingers (A rude word was uttered) :-(

Haaa! I'll bet you used a nasty word!!! Thanks for the info.
I once saw a guy trying to swing a Seneca at Leicester East - He had flattened the battery somehow. He received a nasty gash on the head and got a ride in an ambulance for his efforts. Tim.

Provided the correct techniques are used, hand swinging is OK on the smaller engines with 2-bladed props that are at a safe height and have the props fitted so compression occurs at a convenient prop position. I would not try on a Seneca.
So what's wrong with the technique in this picture?:
