IPAS | ||
---|---|---|
(AH-64D Apache) Integrated Pressurized Air System The IPAS provides pressurized air to aircraft pneumatic systems. Bleed air is drawn from two ports: a high-pressure port is exclusively used to pressurize the hydraulic systems, and a low-pressure port is used by all other consumers. Low-pressure air is used by the engine air turbine starters, fuel boost and transfer pumps, anti-ice system, ice detection probe, nitrogen inerting unit, vapor cycle cooling system, and environmental control system. IPAS bleed air can be provided by one or both engines, the APU, or an external source such as an AGPU. | ||

The K-041 "Rubikon" is the control, navigation and target system of the KA-50. It consists of an integrated computer system with five subunits (combat, navigation, data display, target identification and weapon control). When the K-041 is switched on, the Shkval display is also powered up. Further Information: KA-50 Black Shark Basic Course (DCS) / Cockpit Instruction / Cockpit Overview / LP | ||

Lookout, Attitude, Instruments A method of maintaining a good Lookout whilst ensuring the aircraft maintain the desired altitude, heading and speed. LOOKOUT - This is completed in two stages, beginning with the Right hemisphere. Look as deep into your 5 o’clock as you can and scan fully up and down whilst progressing you Lookout back to the ahead. ATTITUDE - Whilst looking ahead assess you aircraft‘s attitude to the horizon. Ensure it remain where you desired. INSTRUMENTS - Check that this attitude is maintain your chosen flight path by checking the instruments:

Max Drift | ||
---|---|---|
Max Drift A method of assessing the effect of wind on the aircraft drift from track. MAX DRIFT - The maximum drift an aircraft will suffer from a wind directly abeam the flight path. This is estimated by taking the windspeed and dividing it by the aircraft’s speed in nm / minute. E.g. An aircraft flying at 240 kts is covering 4 nm / minute. With a wind from directly abeam with a speed of 20 kts the aircraft will suffer a drift of 5˚. 20 / 4 = 5 See also: Clock Code | ||
