L1049C Operational Airspeeds

[guestairways]

Hi there folks

Is there any Airspeeds table available for the 1049C? or maybe an equation to obtain the v-speeds? Im using the provided table for the L749... but for obvious reasons it ain't that accurate



Greetings!

Hi,

My Eastern manual provides a single V speed table for the 1049C and 1049G, so if the Super G tables are available use those.

I can't find any at the moment, so here is what my manual states:

Wt......V1.....V2

133K...109....122
130K...106....121
126K...103....120
122K...100....118
118K....97....116
114K....94....114
110K....91....112
106K....88....112

These V1 speeds are with Autofeather operational. The other V speeds are identical to the 1049G speeds, so use those found in that aircraft's kneeboard.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

in our Super Connie simulation based on Manfred Jahn's model, V1 and V2 will be called out at the appropriate airspeeds. I just had a look into my installation and realized that the Super Connie manual is less comprehensive than in later releases. However, it was originally released with a kneeboard checklist that lists V2 as well:

"V2 at the following gross weights in 1000 lbs. is:
90K lbs.- 99 Kts.;
100K lbs.-105 Kts.;
110K lbs.-110 Kts.;
120K lbs.-115 Kts.;
130K lbs.-120 Kts.;
140K lbs.-123 Kts.

Both the L1049 C/D/E and the later 1059G/H originally had the same 3'250 hp power available for take-off, but the DA-3 engines of the 1049G had 100 hp more METO power compared to the C/D/E, allowing an increase of MTOW by 4'500 lbs. Many 1049C were later upgraded to 1049G standard with new engines and a number of other revisions. Some of the 1049H and very few of the 1049G were later fitted with EA-3 engines which had an increase of take-off power to 3'400 hp, which would allow another increase of MTOW - 142'100 lbs in the L-1049H/06.

However, these changes affect only load limits, not V-speeds. V-speeds will be identical at identical weights, regardless whether the aircraft simulated is operated as an 1049C or G.

More details are in the manual supplied with the Super Constellation 1049 G/H FDE 1.2 upgrade.

Best regards,
Volker

Thanks a lot Mr. Boehme & Mr. Gibson! I thought it would have different V-speeds...

If you use USAF numbers for the Lockheed Flying Speed Brake - taxi - 120, takeoff - 120, climb - 120, cruise - 120, decent - 120, approach - 120, land - 120, taxi to ramp - 120.
