Here you’ll find the manual for the NAMC YS-11. YS11_MSFS_Manual v1.0.7.pdf

The YS-11 is equipped with 2x COM radios, 2x NAV receivers and 2x ADF Receivers. All of these can be tuned via controls found on the forward section of the Centre Pedestal (4) Forward Pedestal Radios ADF Frequency and Selector Knobs ADF Power Switch NAV Frequency and Selector Knobs NAV Power Switch NAV Ident Volume Knob COM Power Switch COM Frequency Selector Knobs WT GNS430 GPS If you are using the WT GNS430 GPS, the radio controls on the GPS are tied to COM3 / NAV3 only. Please use the radios on the pedestal only for communication / navigation. RADIOS - ELECTRICAL POWER To o…

The following section is intended to supplement the Simplified Procedures or in-simulator Checklist. General operating guidelines are provided along with speeds and power settings to be applied per flight phase. Engine Start Ensure the Low Stop Lever is in the Ground position. Engine 2 is started first, followed by Engine 1. Engine 2 HPC lever: ON. Starter and Ignition panel: Engine Select No. 2. Starter Master: Start. Starter Push Button: Push and hold for 4 seconds, the button should remain in. When the RPM reaches 1200 to 1500 RPM: Engine 2 HPC lever to HSWL position. Repeat the procedure for Engine 1. Af…

The YS-11 is equipped with a dual-needle Radio Magnetic Indicator (RMI) on each side of the cockpit that is used as both a bearing and heading indicator. RMI - Bearing Indicator The two needles always indicate magnetic bearing to the selected beacon (VOR or NDB) provided there is an active signal. The tail of the needle indicates the reciprocal bearing. You can configure the needles in a various number of ways using the Selector Knob positions as follows: Position #1 - The thin needle (single line) points to VOR1. The thick needle (double line) points to VOR2. Position #2 - The thin needle (single line) points to VOR1. The thic…

An abbreviated method is provided to calculate the fuel required for your flight. Note that the values mentioned below are for total fuel required for both engines assuming Maximum Take Off Weight. An example calculation is provided for reference. Taxi Fuel 30 lbs / minute. Take Off Fuel 200 lbs required until reaching 1,000 ft. Climb Fuel 2,800 lbs per hour at a climb speed of 150 KIAS, approximately 1,000 FPM. Equivalent True Airspeed for 150 kt Indicated Airspeed: Altitude (ft) IAS (kt) TAS (kt) 20,000 150 …

The YS-11 is equipped with the Brittain B-5C, three-axis Automatic Flight Control System—a robust, low-power autopilot designed to enhance stability and reduce pilot workload across roll, pitch, and yaw axes. The B-5C integrates seamlessly with the aircraft’s navigation system to provide smooth course tracking and altitude hold. Its simplicity, reliability, and minimal electrical draw make it especially well-suited for regional turboprops like the NAMC YS-11, where operational efficiency and mechanical resilience are paramount.
