PZL M-15 Belphegor
The PZL M-15 Belphegor was a Polish designed jet-biplane.The aircraft’s unique design was a product of its designed ruggedness, with a focus on utility, rather than beauty. Originally used as an agricultural aircraft, this Belphegor has been modified and adapted for use as a utility aircraft in Stormworks. An all-glass cockpit and advanced digital engine control provide a refreshing and modernized experience over its 1970’s counterpart.
• A glass cockpit, with an artificial horizon and a moving map display.
• Passenger cab with two seats and heating for use in cold climates.
• Fully automated engine systems with push to start control.
• Automatic flap deployment allowing for easy control in the low-speed flight regime.
• Large fuel tanks allowing for a long range.
• Altitude hold system allowing for comfortable long distance flying.
• Extendable fuel hose allowing for easy fuel transfer to and from other vehicles.
• Rear utility bay with various equipment, including a two-way radio, a heater, and an assortment of utility clothing.
W/S – Pitch
A/D – Roll
Left/Right – Yaw
Up/Down – Throttle
1 – Parking brake
Starting
• Enter the cockpit through the pilot door.
• Turn on power by switching the main breaker in the bottom-center of the cockpit.
• Press the engine toggle button on the left control panel.
• Wait for the engine to start.
Flying
• Use your up/down arrow keys to change throttle.
• Use W/S to pitch the aircraft as you accelerate.
• Once off the ground, use altitude hold to keep level.
• If it is not windy, activate the yaw damper for smoother flying.
• The boost pump can be activated on the left panel. Do not use this with altitude hold. The boost pump decreases efficiency and considerably increases speed
• To land, just decrease your throttle until you decelerate to 50-60kts. Add a small amount of power to keep that speed until you touch down.
Other Features
• The passenger cabin has lighting and a heater, these can be activated using switches on the ceiling.
• A switch on the left side of the rear of the aircraft will open the utility bay.
• A two-way radio is built into the utility bay. Use the keypad to input a frequency, and use the button to transmit.
• Flip the toggle switch to activate the rear mounted heater.
• A beacon can be activated using the button on the lower right of the utility panel.
• The utility bay contains a power connector for the transfer of power to and from other vehicles.
• A fuel connector is available under the left tail boom.
• The controls for which are placed under the left wing on the fuel tank.
• The system can pump fuel too and from other vehicles.
