Introduction
Welcome!

We are very excited to introduce you to the MilViz

PC-6 Porter. An extremely exciting aircraft to fly, it’s
safe to say that if the Porter doesn’t scratch your
cravings for a capable, high performance, STOL tur-
boprop, nothing will!

This User Guide is designed to help you get started

with your new Porter. It contains useful information
about the equipment, operating procedures, and
performance of the PC-6, as well as instructions for
installation and updating.
We recommend that you take a bit of time to read
through this guide and to refer to it as needed.

Our interest in your flying pleasure has not ceased

with your purchase of the MilViz PC-6 Porter. World-
wide, the Military Visualizations staff stands ready
to assist and serve. For technical support, please

An important characteristic of the

PT6A-27 engine is the physical discon-

power generator turbines. The power
turbine (and by extension the propel-
ler) can spin freely from the gas gener-
ator section. This is why the PT6A-27
is referred to as a free turbine.

Simulator Configuration
All MilViz aircraft are developed with an overall goal of replicating a realistic level
of accuracy in regards to operation and flight response. To this end, development
and testing are generally carried out using the highest realism settings available
within the simulator.

Overall, the realism settings within MSFS exist in order to make certain aspects of
simulated flying less of a burden if viewed as such by a user, as well as to remove
some of the tasks which are necessary in real life to ensure a safe and proper flight.
Our intent is not to discourage such use, but only to ensure that the user has the
means to enjoy the aircraft to the level at which it was designed.

Operating Instructions - Jettisoning Doors
The ability of the doors to be jettisoned has also
been included in our simulation of the PC-6 Porter.

In the real aircraft, this is not meant to be done in

flight outside of an emergency situation. However,
the doors can also be removed prior to a flight if de-
sired. Of course, in our simulation, the doors can be
removed at anytime.

To successfully jettison or remove a door, follow

these steps:

1) Pull down on the red lever to disengage the hinge

pin on the outside of the aircraft.

2) Move the door latch lever aft to the ‘Open’ posi-

tion.

3) Push on the door using the push / pull handle on

the door frame.

These steps may be repeated for the right hand door.

To bring the doors back once jettisoned or removed,

there is a button on the ‘Configuration’ page of the
tablet that will be active once one or both doors are
removed. Clicking this button will replace the door.

Note that when the tablet is used to return the doors,

they will still need to be fully closed by pulling on the
push / pull handle and moving the door latch lever
forward to the ‘Closed’ position.

Current NOTAM’s - Important Information For All Pilots

Important: Recommended settings for ‘Aircraft Stress Damage’ and ‘Engine Stress Damage’ is
DISABLED. Settings are found in the ‘Assistance Options’ window, under ‘Failures And Damage’.
If these settings are left at ENABLED, certain behaviors will NOT be as intended. This includes
being able to open the storm window and trap doors while in flight. Doing so with these settings
enabled will make the simulator think you have over-stressed the airframe!!

Important: The idle control lever incorporates a safety catch to prevent the lever from inadver-
tently being moved to the cutoff position. Operation of the safety catch is performed with the
mouse by left clicking on the red safety catch. This is only needed when using the mouse to
control the lever; it will automatically open when used with a hardware axis.

Important: It is recommended NOT to have any hardware axis mapped to the spoiler function in
the simulator. This may cause the beta emulation in the PC-6 to function improperly.

Important: The PC-6 is designed to be used with either the default G1000 that comes standard
with MSFS OR the G1000 NXi by Working Title. Use of any other avionics unit or ‘mod’ is not sup-
ported at this time. Use of any other avionics units may hinder the functionality of the aircraft.

Important: For users of the FSUIPC utility, please ensure that the ‘Magic Battery’ setting is dis-
abled. Having this enabled can result in a low voltage state being reported in the PC-6, along
with the resulting inability to start the aircraft.

MINED.
Emergency Procedures

Air Start

>> An engine flame-out will be noticed by an indicated drop in ITT, torque pressure, Ng and
Np. The recommended air start technique is to initiate the Immediate Relight procedure
immediately after the flame-out occurs, always assuming the flame-out was not the
result of an engine malfunction and the aircraft’s altitude does not allow to perform a
Normal Relight Procedure. If the Ng is less than 46%, a Normal Relight should be initi-
ated. The relight envelope for successful air starts covers all operational altitudes and
airspeeds. Above 20,000 ft starting temperatures may tend to be high.
