THE P-92JS IS CERTIFIED UNDER JAR-VLA
INTERNATIONAL AIRWORTHINESS REGULATIONS.
The P92-JS, the up graded version of the P92-J is a single strut
braced high wing aircraft, and carries a useful load of two occupants
plus luggage and fuel for more than four hours with a Take-Off Weight
of only 1210 Ibs.
This was made possible by accurate engineering and design of the
structure and systems and by the adoption of a light and compact
power unit of modern design.
Since the performance as well as the direct and indirect costs depend
on the weight and power of the machine, a remarkable advantage is
gained in both these areas.
In other words, the P92-JS does the same things and better with
less weight and power than the older generation aircrafts. Therefore:
MAIN FEATURES:
- A welded steel tube framework encloses the cabin, covered with
aluminium panels. This strong structure is highly resistant to the
heavy loads imposed on basic training aircraft and provides good
protection for the crew in case of an emergency landing.
- The all metal wing structure consists of a single spar torsion
box linked with the leading edge assembly.
- The light alloy stressed-skin tail cone supports the empennage.
- The electrically activated flaps, allow stall speeds under 35
Kts. With flaps deployed, a steep approach is possible resulting
in a very short landing distance.
- The ailerons, almost interchangeable with flaps, are very effective,
resulting in an aggressive roll rate.
- The all-moving tailplane provides excellent longitudinal stick-free
stability and control power with the minimum drag.
- The instrument panel is designed to accommodate optional instrumentation
up to an IFR configuration.
- A rocker switch located between the seats, controls the pitch
trim. The position indicator is installed on the instrument panel.
- The wide windshield not interested by any structural element is
carried up over the pilot's head.
- The leading edge tapering near the wing root allows visibility
even in a steep turn.
- The engine is mounted low and the cowling slopes down away from
the windshield, so forward visibility is excellent.
- A rear window completes the 360° vision.
- The 3 ft. 8 in., wide cabin has extra large doors and this feature
together with the side windows make the aircraft seem very spacious.
A large luggage area is located behind the seats. The cabin is provided
of: two adjustable seats; safety belt system; fresh air inlet doors;
cabin heating system; cabin overhead loudspeakers. The particular
shape of the door provides extra elbow room and comfort for the
pilot. The dual control sticks come up forward between the pilot's
legs. The stick grip allows the installation of trim switch and
mike switch.The conventional type dual rudder pedals also control
the nose wheel steering. The brake control lever is located between
the two seats. The parking brake function is obtained through an
hydraulic valve.
- A 73,5 KW (100 hp) ROTAX 912S, four opposed cylinders, four stroke
liquid/air cooled engine and integrated reduction gear (1:2.43)
drives a high efficiency two-bladed propeller with spinner.
- The fuel consumption in cruise condition is below 3,8 US Gal/hr
(14,5 l/h) of automotive gasoline. The TBO spans to 1200 hours.
- The engine firewall is soundproofed. The upper and lower engine
cowlings are quickly removable permitting inspection and easy access
to the engine and its accessories.
- The forward section of each wing at about 1m from the root, incorporates
a 9,3 US Gallons (35 It) capacity fuel tank (bigger tank optional).
Independent fuel flow valves are located on either side of the cockpit
and are easily accessible by the pilot.
- Gravity fuel feed backup if the mechanical pump fails.
- The battery has a capacity of 18Ah.
- A 14 V, 21A generator is an integral part of the engine.
- The spring steel undercarriage legs provides excellent shock absorption
characteristics are trouble free and require no maintenance. To
facilitate inspection, the leg fittings are externally mounted on
the under section of the fuselage.
- The levered suspension nose gear with a rubber shock absorber
has been designed to resist high impact loads during basic training
programs. A special fairing minimizes the nose wheel drag.
