MILVIZ Cessna 310 - Real 310 pilot - step by step tutorial - startup to top-of-climb 

Thanks Andy. I’m having terrible issues with the Sim. Hope to make a video in the real airplane soon.

Thanks Samir. I’ll try to make the second video soon!

I'm planning on it. Unfortunately I am experiencing issues with the HSI and GPS on the MILVIZ 310 so it's stopping me from completing a video. I'm waiting for a patch.

No it's an engine operating philosophy. See this article by Mike Bucsh...section on the first page 'THROTTLE'. resources.savvyaviation.com/wp-content/uploads/articles_eaa/EAA_2012-10_flying-efficiently.pdf

The actual Pilot's Operating Handbook for the airplane says you can either climb like I do with full throttle and learn to the altitude ranges, or you can reduce Manifold Pressure to top of Green and then lean fuel flow to the 75% power climb mark, which is the blue triangle labeled 75% climb on the fuel flow gauge. Either is acceptable but as I mentioned above the 'modern' guidance is to climb with full throttle, also termed Wide Open Throttle (WOT).

Hi Leo, I’m traveling right now and will let you know week after next when I return. It was a home built system and I can’t recall!

Unfortunately I never made it because I was experiencing a bug with the autopilot in the 310 in MSFS. In a nutshell…at top of descent reduce the manifold pressure to approximately 18 to 19 inches for descent. Leave the prop and mixture alone. When you enter the traffic pattern or join an instrument approach, reduce the manifold pressure to 17.5 inches to maneuver with gear and flaps up. This should give you around 115 knots. When you are abeam the runway (in the pattern), or intersecting the glide path, put the gear down and flaps to 15 degrees (approach). Place the props in high rpm (full forward), slightly enriched the mixture (approximately to number three marked on the quadrant), and run your checklist. Once you have the runway made reduce throttle a bit to maintain blue line and as you cross the threshold you can slowly reduce throttle to idle, round out,and set her down. Hope this helps.

Hi John, typically yes. Most of these airplanes are so old that either the owner just prints them out; alternatively there are multiple companies that sell laminated checklists as an aftermarket option. Take care!

Andrew now that I have flown it some more it's pretty poorly modelled. I'm not a huge fan of it. The single engine behavior is nothing like the real 310.

​@flyboy98 That's really disheartening to hear. I've been putting a lot of time into learning this plane in the sim, and now it feels like a bit of a waste. Nevertheless videos such as yours are a fantastic resource - thank you for putting this together.

would the engines start in real life if you don't prime them?
