AST-300

[Mark Kolber]

Anyone know of an online source for an AST-300 manual or checklist?

I'd be amazed if you could find one online, Mark. I had the technical stuff
for my AST-300...schematics, voltage readings, test data, etc. but I paid
six figures for it. Insofar as a checklist is concerned, once I turned it on
it became pretty much what I wanted it to be...a Seminole or a single with
about 300 hp and controllable prop(s). Single engine pilots treated both
throttle/prop/mixture knobs as one, and twin pilots had to deal with them
individually depending on how satanic I felt on a given day.

There are/have been many versions of the AST-300 over the years and up to
the present, ranging from an original analog system without even a visual
display up to the current digital version which can be equipped as a
full-motion simulator with projected visuals and electronic HSI... so the
manual or checklist would have to take into account the age of the AST-300
system and any modifications installed by the former owner(s).

Thanks Bob and Richard. I had a feeling. I haven't used one as an
instructor and figured it's about time to get an instructor
orientation. I was trying to see if there was some prep material.

A checklist in a SIMULATOR? C'mon, a checklist has no place in an
airplane, and certainly has no place in a simulator. Head down time in
the cockpit is not a positive thing, no matter how you look at it.

Have you looked at the latest FAA PTS? Thought not!

Don't feed the troll.

Yes, I am familiar with the PTS.
During my ATP checkride, I used a checklist after my flowcheck. I use
a checklist during 299 rides, etc. after the flowcheck but in the real
world, I don't use a checklist.

<Groan> Not another argument over whether checklists are good or bad. Why
not something simple like slips with flaps?
