Pilot's Handling Notes for the Fiat G.12T with Fiat A.74 RC42 engines
*********************************************************************
The three 770hp Fiat A.74 RC42 engines drive constant speed airscrews. They have automated mixture controls and manually applied carb heat controls. Superchargers sustain that rated power up to 4200 metres. Each engine can deliver 820hp for up to two minutes for TOGA at sea level. Fiat engines cause swing to the left. The virtual flight engineer will operate the oil cooler shutters and select the appropriate supercharger gear ratio throughout the flight according to the engine RPM demanded, current altitude and the weather. The engine cowl flaps are under pilot control in this simulation.
AUTOMIXTURE - This engine has automixture in real life and in MSFS.
The manifold pressure gauges of this aircraft are calibrated in Kg/Cm^2 abbreviated C.
Maximum fuel load is 7,116lbs of 87 Octane AVGAS. This is loaded by default in FS9 to allow the longest routes flown in real life and to allow tanker missions.
Pre war and wartime design cruise altitude was 4000 metres despite lack of pressurisation or cabin oxygen supply in most military deliveries.
The landing gear is approved for use from unpaved (but not unprepared) surfaces. This aircraft has STOL capability.
