Requirements
The Plane was built and tested with X-Plane 10.51. Compatibility with earlier or later versions of X-Plane cannot be guaranteed.

General Description
The L-29 is a military trainer aircraft. It was manufactured by Aero Vodochody. It made its first flight in 1959 and was produced from 1963 to 1974. Ca. 3500
aircraft were built. The aircraft was used mainly in the air forces of the Warsaw Pact. Today the plane is still used by civilian operators for show and race
purposes.

There are four versions of the plane. You can select them via “Open aircraft” from the menu and afterwards selecting the 29 or 29R file in the folder.

The package contains ten liveries, equal for the four versions. You can switch them (also directly in flight) by using the following menu option in X-Plane:

Technical Data (of the original L-29, X-Plane version values may vary slightly)
This package contains two versions of the L-29, one standard version and one race version. The race version is using a stronger engine. The main
difference between the versions are the nose section and the used engine.

Rear Cockpit
Front and back cockpit are modeled for the L-29. You can reach the rear cockpit by moving backwards in the 3d-cockpit. There are keys in the X-Plane
options assigned for that purpose. You could also assign those movements to certain joystick buttons. You can find the options by following using the
following menu:

If you click a joystick button while on the following screen, the number of the button will be displayed and you can choose any action that you want to
assign to this button:
You could e.g. assign the forward and backward movement within the cockpit:

In tab “Keys” you can search for the command and the key that is assigned to it:

The layout in the rear cockpit is different but functionality and instrumentation are similar to the front cockpit.

There is a new functionality in X-Plane (10.10) now that allows you to store certain views. You press CTRL + a numpad number key and afterwards you can
jump back to this position again by pressing the number key on the numpad.

Weapons
Basic weapons have been implemented, using the related X-Plane functionality.
You can load those weapons by:

– going to „Weight and Fuel“ in the Aircraft menu:

– you go to Ordnance

– Click on one of the weapon stations (Button “Ready..” in the picture above)
– select a load from your L-29/ weapons folder

(C) ML 2018 MLAeroDG L-29

 – do the same for the other station
– if you dropped/ used your load, you can quickly reload it by pressing the green button

(C) ML 2018 MLAeroDG L-29

Checklists and procedures
If you want to simulate the whole startup procedure you will need to create a situation in X-Plane, having all systems/ switches set to off, and afterwards
load this situation again. You can do both using the following menu options:

Engine/ System Startup After Startup

– brakes check – NAV light on
– set parking brake – Strobe light on
– flight controls check working as expected – Inverter on
– battery switch on – Avionics on
– Volts/ Amps check – All radio equipment on
– external power → connect, verify indication – Cabin lights as required
– ENG switch on – Taxi light on
– generator switch on
– C + W panel check and do test, all lights working
– fuel shut off at off position
– throttle idle
– press ground start button
– at >15% N1 RPM open fuel shut off
– verify EGT within limits
– fuel/ oil pressure rising
– idle RPM within limits
– external power, disconnect
– generator warning not indicated

Pre Take off Take off

– set wheel brakes – release wheel brakes
– taxi light on – throttle to max
– trim at 2° aft – check engine indications
– speedbrakes in – rotate at ca. 76 kt

(C) ML 2018 MLAeroDG L-29

 – flaps at T/O position (15°) – lift off at ca. 97 kt
– check fuel – Gear up at 50 ft/ 15 m
– check engine indications – climb at Vx until the safety altitude
– canopy locked – at the safety altitude retract the flaps and accelerate to ca. 200 kt for
– check Hydraulics pressure the climb ( it climbs with a much better climb rate at 200 kt compared
– verify no indications on C + W panel to e.g. 150 kt or 270 kt.
– flight controls working as expected
– cockpit pressurization working With the R-Version everything will happen much faster and you need to
– align heading pointer with runway direction quickly retract gear and flaps to avoid damaging them.
– pitot heat activate as required

– After Takeoff Descent

– landing gear, confirm up – check fuel
– flaps, confirm up – check engine instruments
– reduce RPM to 97% – check C+W panel
– set elevator trim – set throttle for descent (ca. 56 %)
– check engine instruments – use speed brakes, if required
– check C + W panel for warnings – set QNH at transition level
– landing light off
– taxi light off
set Std. Pressure on altimeter when passing transition altitude

Landing Go-around
– landing light on – set max. throttle
– taxi light on – speedbrakes in
– speed below 150 kt – as soon as climb established, flaps 15°
– landing gear down – gear up
– reduce to 140 kt – engine instruments check
– set flaps to 30° – C+W panel check
– check flap and gear indications – after reaching safety altitude, flaps up
– reduce speed to ca. 100 kt
– throttle as required (not below 56% in standard version, to be
prepared for go-around)

After Landing Engine shutdown

(C) ML 2018 MLAeroDG L-29

 – trim to neutral
– speedbrakes in
– pitot heat off – parking brake set
– flaps up – canopy open
– pressurization off – throttle idle
– fuel shutoff
– landing/ taxi light as required
– lights off
– inverter off
– ENG switch off
– GEN off
– BAT off

Emergencies
X-Plane allows you to simulate a large number of failures randomly or by selecting e.g. an altitude where a certain system should fail. You can find this
failure setup under:

Emergency – Engine Fire on ground Engine fire during takeoff

– throttle idle – Abort
– fuel shutoff close – Throttle idle
– ENG switch off – fuel shutoff close
– fire extinguisher activate – press fire ext button
– all electrical switches to off

(C) ML 2018 MLAeroDG L-29

 – exit plane

Engine fire during takeoff, take off continued Airstart

– max. throttle – throttle idle
– isolation valve switch on – fuel shutoff closed
– landing gear up – all non essential electrical equipment off
– fire ext. button – descent below 20000 ft
– land ASAP – airspeed above 140 kt
– RPM min 10- 15 %
– all requ. Elec. Switches on
– airstart switch activate
– fuel shutoff open
– airstart switch off, if successful

Engine fire during flight Emergency Descent

– throttle idle – throttle idle
– fuel shutoff closed – speed brakes out
– eng switch off – pitch attitude 25° dive
– press fire ext. – deicing on
– speed close to Vne

Flap/ Gear failure Belly landing

– speed within gear/ flap down limits – burn excess fuel
– select required gear/ flap setting – throttle idle
– use emergency flap/ gear extension – fuel shutoff closed
– confirm flap/ gear down – all electrical switches off
