The indicator rod 15,11 shows full main gear extension when the white band at Its base becomes vi si bl e. While only the red portIon of the rod shows, the gear Is In an unsafe condition. Th e Indicator rod 15,1) Is attached to the rotating

undercarriage retraction After attelnlng the required minimum altitude, retract the undercerrlage by flipping up the red sa f e I y cover over the 'Eln' button and depressing that button. This causes the locking hooks to open and the electrical drive motors to start raising the gear. In the last portion of the retraction CYCle, the shock strut spurs come In contact with the lock_ Ing unit hooks which ore then forced up and locked In place; securing the undercarriage and simulten_ eo us I y swItching off the electrical motors. This pas I t I on Is Indicated by the Illumination of the red lights on the undercarriage Indicator unit. In addition to the electrical monitoring of the gear posItion there Is also mechanIcal monlloring, In the form of en Indicator rod {5,'1 for each slrut. The top of the rod Is flush with the wing upper surface when the gear Is retrected.

In flight, the operetlon of the engine Is governed by a control unit. This unit regulates boost pressure, engine RPM, fuel mixture, Ignition_timing adjustment, and the supercharger switchover control; the pilot need only operate the throttle lever. The contro I unit 15 attached to the right side of the eccessory casing. Special pressure and dreln pump s are fitted t o circulate the system's hydreulic fluid. This 011 Is housed In the engine mount Ing ri ng.

For more

dettllls on this system see Po!Irt 7 'Engine operetlon

end fuel supply system'. A newer method of Increeslng the emergency speed of the fighter hos been to Insert a pI lot opereted stop cock In the pressure [Ine of the boost reguletor.

lnflight blade pitch adjustml!nt Is normally au to_ ma tic (dependent on RPM), being controlled hydrau_ Ilcelly from the control unit. The pitch ctln also be adjusted menlJally, eg. when the automatic pitch control falls, and on thl! ground. To change from hydraulic (autometlc) to electrlcel Imenuall pitch edJustment, move the pitch contro I switch on the left Instrument console to the 'MemuaJl position. The propeller pitch can then be adjusted by depression of the appropriate si de 0 f the thumb switch on the throttle lever, this switch hos two settlngsl 'RPM Increase' and 'RPM decrease'. When rei e as ed, the switch rl!turns to the neutrel 'Off' position. The pitch control unit, with ettached swltchover motor end RPM governor, Is built onto the forwerd left sldl! of the engine. Propeller pitch Is monitor_ ed mechanically by an Indicetor on the euxl I i ery Instrument panel right side.

The hinged flap, which is open at the top, has tw o spring_loaded studs 113,41 which are inserted In t 0 motchlng holes In the !mTIUnltlon lead_In section. A cat c 1'1 (13,51, riveted to the bottom of the flap, prevents tmnunltlon belt movement when the flap is open. The l!I1'II1unltlon lead_In section (14,11 Is riveted to o br ec ke 1 114,21 which also secures the cartridge casing ejection chute 114,31. The bracket is attached to Centre rib 7. The casing ejection chute hos a spring steel barrier (14,41 which prevents the return of ejected casings to the weapon, thus avoiding the possibility of a firing stoppage. The casings ore expelled I nto the eree between Centre ribs 6 and 7J from there they are removed through a hand hole In the wing lower skin. Addltlonel sheet metal Is fitted tlround the area to prevent structural damage by the e j e c t e d casings.

This facilitates both f lying In bad weather conditions and penetration of con t I nuous cloud cover. The sol e control device provided for the pilot is the turn switch IV601 mounted on the control column. The swl tch comprises both a blpoler tumbler swl tch to engage end dlsengege the eutometlc pilot system, end e five position rete_of_turn switch which c om_ prl ses a centre 'null' pOSition end two t urn rete positions each to right end left. These turn rat e positions permit the Initletlon of 0 turn at either of two predetermined turning rotes, 1C1 /sec or ~/sec.

After the pIlot moves the fur-n switch to contact 1 or 2, the co U,.. 5 e motor will change the CotTll8SS

The dampl ng circuit is fltt@d wl th a matching c i r c u i t In which the voltage gen@reted by a divergence from horizontal flight Is matched by en equel and opposlh voltage g@nerated by the circuit. The oscllletlng transformer has en IIC frequency of 50Hz __ Input to one of the coils In both the position Integral Ion unit and the steering unit, so that slight vibrations will not, through slippage or jamming, cause seizure. The dsnplng reguletor IK141 Includes en air Intake pipe In which the movement of the shaft operates en e I e c t r Ice I trensmlsslon line which relates the deflection of the rudder to the elrcreft speed. Thus at greeter speeds the required rudder def lectlon Is less then at lower speeds. As only en everege course

Is maintained by the steering un I t , small deviations from the required course cause only very weak currents which will not result In operetlon of the steering unit. The I eonard transformer IK101 Is till DC_DC transformer, end Is excited by the steering contro I current produced by the steering reley. The current Is then pessed to the armeture of the DC motor In the rudder drive {K161. The rudder d r 1 v e also contelns en e I @ct r I ca 1 coupling, opereted from the eutometlc pi lot @ngaglng swItch IV60l, wh I c h connects the geer drive to the rudder ae t u a tin 9 lever. Wh@n the rudder drive is dlsengeged, however, the rudder Is relees@d.

Within the Impedence casing IK41 Is located an 8dJusteble resistor to control the edjustment re t e of the actuetlng spindle on the course molor IK121. Addltlonelly, two releys ere provided, which When the autometic pilot Is uncoupled Idisengeg@dl, ceuse e weekenlng In the field of the course motor IK12J, thus perm I t I I n 9 e higher adjustment rete of the ac t u a tin 9 spindle end thereby the compass cours@ indicator.

..2.:;...____

Design modifications The Fw 190 A-8 is the latest production version of the Fw 190 series and include5 a number of changes in armament, navigation equipment, range capabilities, etc. designed to meet the demands of modern air warfare. These modifications include: Fuselage auxiliary tank; Based- on the requirement to increase aircraft range without degrading its aerodynamic efficiency, provision has been made for the mounting of a protected fuel tank within the rear fuselage. After August - September 1944 all A-8 aircraft will be delivered with the auxiliary tank fitted. If required, instead of the 115 Ltr (25.3 gal) fuel tank, an unprotected Methanol-water (MW 50) tank of either 115 Ltr (25.3 gal) or 140 Ltr (30.8 gal) capacity, or a GM 1 tank of 85 Ltr

(18.7 gal) capacity, can be installed. At the present time, however, it is planned that the standard A-8 will be produced only with the auxiliary fuel tank. Radio compartment: Fitting of the auxiliary fuel tank has required the relocation of the Fu G 16 radio installation from Bulkhead 8 to the area behind the pilot's seat. An access door built into the fuselage right side provides easy access to the compartment. Fu G 16 ZY: Fu G 16 Z'f radio equipment will be installed in place of the earlier Fu G 16 Z. This set is like the Fu G 16 Z, but has, in addition, the E-type range measuring circuitry. In the interim, Fu G 16 ZE is being fitted; it is eqUivalent to the Fu G 16 zy except for its lack of homing

capability . Forward placement of ETC SOl: Fitting of the additional fu s elage tank has necessitated shifting the ETC 501 (Part no. 8-190 . 861) forward about 200 mm (7.9 in). Starting with the Fw 190 A-8 series, only the forward mounted ETC 501 (Part no. 8-190.8861) is to be installed. This will be replaced, at a later date, by the aerodynamically and functionally superior ETC 504. Vertical speed indicator: To improve flight monitoring, a Vertical Speed Indicator will be built into the centre of the main instrument panel . Camera installation: Starting in June 1944, provision will be made for the installation of a BSK 16 gun camera (Part no. 8-190 . 8061). The gun camera provides confirmation of gunnery results. powerplant: Commencing in July 1944, the BMW 801 02 (F 600) will be replaced by the B楼.W 801 TU. This engine i s an intermediate step between the BEW 801 D2 (F 600) and the later, more powerful, BMW 801 T5 or TH. Oue to delays encountered in readying the BMW 801 F fOT s ervice, the

BMW 801 D wil l, as a temporary measure, be fitted with certain drive components of the BMW 801 TS/TH; in addition, it will also receive t he heavier 10 mm/6 mm annoured nose rings . The BMW 801 TU will be delivered as a complete replacement unit; it is fully interchangeable with the BMW 801 D2 (F 600) . Wit h the TS/ TH engine installed, the Fw 190 A-8 is redesignated Fw 190 A-9. Increas ed emergency power: Commencing in July 1944, all Fw 190 A-8 aircraft will be fitted with the 'emergency power unit'. By overriding the supercharger boost re gulator, this system increases the boost p res sure , on takeoff and emergency power, at the low supercharger setting, from 1,42 ata to 1,58 ata ," and at the high supercharger setting, from 1,42 ata to 1,65 ata. The res ulting increas e in maximum horizontal speed is about 22 km/h (13.6 mph) at the low setting, and about 25 km/h (15.5 mph) at the high setting. Due to the danger of engine overheating, thi s system must not be us ed for more than 10 minutes at a time.

The fitting of a GMl unit in place o f t he additio nal f us el a ge f uel t ank is bas ically feasible; but, in the Fw 190 A-8 series is not no rmally done. It can be used at altitudes above 8 km (26, 250 ft) and s p eed increas e of about 58 km/ h (36. 0 mph ) at climb and combat gives po·.... e r. Gm ins tallation :
