Douglas A4 Skyhawk FS2004

Jean-Pierre Langer's Douglas A-4 Skyhawk wears a grey Argentine Air Force livery. This FS2004 version uses a conventional 2D instrument panel, with no virtual cockpit. It is listed under manufacturer McDonnell Douglas in the simulator.

Handling this model

The aircraft is highly manoeuvrable but sensitive to control inputs and trim. Set the trim before take-off, then make measured corrections. On landing, pay particular attention to pitch and bank to avoid striking a wing on the runway.

• Maximum speed listed for this add-on: 440 KIAS.
• Recommended landing speed for this add-on: 100 KIAS with full flaps.

The real Skyhawk is a lightweight attack aircraft originally designed for American carrier operations. This package's livery reflects its later Argentine service; the handling figures above apply to the FS2004 model.
