3 AIRCRAFT DESCRIPTION

3.1 OVERVIEW

The DodoSim 206 FSX is a single-engine gas turbine powered light utility helicopter. It has a two-

bladed “teetering” main rotor head and a two-bladed tail rotor, providing anti-torque and steering control.

The aircraft seats a pilot, (in the front starboard seat), plus four passengers. (One in the front port seat,

three in the back, facing forward.) Behind the rear passenger compartment and accessible externally

from the port side is a lockable baggage compartment.

Pilot Information: It should be noted that when flying with baggage in the compartment or high fuel

load, the aircraft may require ballast to be added to the fore port seat to move the Centre of Gravity

within correct limits.
