CERTIFICATION
The majority of ex-military aircraft do not have a standard CofA as
they are not normally tested to civilian standards. We have the aircraft
certified in the LIMITED category, which enables us to be issued with
a Limited CofA. Such a CofA does not allow all the uses of a standard
CofA, but the restrictions are not onerous.
MAINTENANCE
There are no special requirements for maintenance of the Nanchang other
than an inspection every 100 hours of operations or 12 months. The aircraft
is relatively simple to maintain and can be done by any LAME that is familiar
with radial engined aircraft
LICENCE
REQUIREMENTS
The Nanchang has no special licence requirements other than a normal PPL
licence with a constant speed and retractable undercarriage endorsement.
It is a delight to fly, being both agile and forgiving. The trailing link
undercarriage soaks up a lot of punishment if called upon to do so. The
Nanchang is fully aerobatic and cleared to carry out all of the maneuvers
listed in the PLAAF Pilot Handling Notes The excellent power to weight
ratio allows aerobatics to be carried out without a loss of height in
the hands of a competent pilot.
Of
interest is that the Nanchang CJ-6 is used by the PLAAF as a basic ab-initio
and advanced trainer as they have no intermediate trainer. The Chinese
pilot graduating from the CJ-6 course next steps into the JJ-5, or MiG15
equivalent. Such is the versatility of the CJ-6 in the training role.
