Gyro compass
The Gyro compass installed in the Yak 52 is a slaved gyro with latitude compensation. It may be operated in a slaved or free mode. To operate the unit in FREE mode, set the SLAVE/FREE switch to FREE and adjust the heading indicator with the ADJUST switch. To more quickly set the heading, use the 0 deg. / 300 deg. switch to set the compass to those headings.
To use the Gyro in slaved mode, in which it will automatically align its self to an internal magnetic compass, set the switch to SLAVE (forward), set the North/south switch to NORTH (forward) for northern hemisphere and using the large tuning knob in the center of the panel, set your approximate latitude in the latitude window. The unit will now automatically compensate for compass errors and the instrument face will indicate your exact magnetic heading. The most usual way to operate the gyro-compass is with all four switches in the forward or spring-loaded positions. 4 21
Radio compass
The radio compass installed in the Yak 52 allows the selection of 8 stations whose frequency is determined in the electronics box installed behind the seat of the rear cockpit. Eight channels may be selected from the cockpit. Select channels 1 to 4 by means of the large knob mounted at the forward end of the control panel. To select the second four channels, the switch mounted on the top left of the instrument panel coaming should be moved to the second position. The channel selector knob will now allow the selection of channels 5 to 8.
The TEST switch causes the instrument pointer to rotate around the dial. The ADF/Antenna switch selects normal Radio compass operation (ADF) or audio only (Antenna) The Voice/Ident switch selects the Morse code ident from the NDB or its voice transmission. Information on how to set the frequencies of the eight stations is to be found in the separate paper: YAK52 ADF programming.
Intercom/Audio Panel
The intercom unit enables communications between the two cockpits. It is not voice activated but rather uses the lower of the two buttons on the side of the throttle control. The intercom has two channels selected by the lower left switch on the control panel.

Either may be used and there is no difference between them, they simply provide some redundancy.
The Blower Outlet Pressure (boost) is always confusing. What they mean by surplus is that pressure OVER standard atmospheric pressure, which at sea level on a standard day is 760 mmHg (29.92 of Hg). So add 125 mm (the max SURPLUS) to the 760 = 885 mmHG. The minus 15 would be 870 mmHg. Therefore the manifold pressure at max takeoff power or 2900 RPM will be between 885 and 870 mmHg as read on your manifold pressure gauge on a standard day at sea level. Converting 885 to 870 mmHg at sea level on a standard day (29.92 Hg) = 34.95 inches to 34.35 inches of Hg. Thus the Blower (boost) increases the manifold pressure over standard atmospheric pressure at this power setting approximately 5 inches of Hg. Now lets look at Nominal 2. Same thing applies as above, but the fuel consumption is 265 * .0022045 = .5842 * 240HP = 140.2 pounds/hour / 6 = 23.37 to 26.54 gallons per hour. The Blower boost is 760 +75 or 835 mmHg to 820 mmHg (-15). You can do the conversion to inches. At the Cruise I power setting is where you can expect to achieve your best speed and fuel economy. The .75 of Nominal 2 (240 HP) = 180 HP at 64% RPM. Fuel consumption at this rating is 210 to 230 grams/hp/hour or 13.88 to 15.21 gallons per hour. Thats with a manifold pressure setting of 735 +/- 15 absolute or 720-750 mmHg. So, as a veteran WWII B17 Bomber pilot told me a long time ago, to get the best cruise speed with the best fuel economy, run the engine oversquare or make the engine turn the prop and not the prop turn the engine. i.e.: Lower rpm (in this case 64%) and higher manifold pressure (720 to 750 mmHg). In cruise flight, try setting the power to 65% and 70mmHg. I think you will be quite pleased with the results. Unfortunately, this is not a perfect world, nor is our own individual airplanes. There are many other factors which will affect power and fuel consumption. But as a baseline, this is as good as it gets.
Radio
The 720 channel radio is operated from the control panel on the lower right section of the instrument panel. The frequency required is selected in the usual way, from two rotary knobs. The selected frequency appears in the window between the two knobs. The other controls are a rotary volume control and the squelch control which may be set for high (down) or low (up) sensitivity. For transmission, a push to talk switch is provided on the upper part of the throttle control.

To convert grams per horsepower/hour, first convert grams to pounds/HP (1 gram = .0022046 pounds). Thus 285 grams * .0022046 = .628311 pounds * 360HP = 226.2 pounds/hour / 6 pounds per gallon = 37.7 gallons per hour. 315 grams * .0022046 = .694449 pounds * 360HP = 250.0 pounds/hour /6 pounds per gallon = 41.7 gallons per hour. 18

Leave the pump in the OUT position. Switch ON: Master switch Generator Ignition Engine Instruments Landing Gear lights Lift the guard flap and press the starter button As the engine turns, turn the MAG switch to "1+2" When the engine fires, push the primer in to further prime the cylinders. Lock it when the engine is running Increase power slowly to 40 % rpm Check engine instruments for correct indications, especially oil pressure
Engine roughness
Reduce power, establish and trim for best glide speed (93 Kts / 172KPH). If the roughness stops, carefully increase power so as to establish level flight. If the roughness continues, increase rpm to 72% to clear the spark plugs.
To turn the aircraft on the ground, apply rudder pedal in the direction you wish to turn and squeeze the brake lever. This action diverts air pressure to the side towards which you have applied the rudder and causes the aircraft to turn in that direction. To stop the turn, apply opposite rudder and brakes.

Before entering the cockpit Check the following items in the FRONT cockpit:
Ensure no loose objects in the cockpit Check seat for damage Check condition of seat belts Check MAG switches to '0' Check starter button is covered by guard Check all switches OFF Check landing gear selector in DOWN position and latch engaged Set brakes ON Set main air supply to ON position (Fully counter clockwise)
If the roughness still persists, experiment with the power setting in order to find a combination of manifold pressure and rpm that minimizes the vibration and land as soon as possible.
Propeller Over-speed
If the maximum permitted rpm is exceeded during takeoff, reduce rpm by means of the propeller control and continue the takeoff.
In-flight fire
Activate the fuel cut-off (Move rearwards) Establish and trim for the best glide speed (95 Kts / 109KPH) Side-slip if necessary, to help blow the flames away from the cockpit Perform an emergency landing If the fire continues unabated, bail out immediately. NOTE ** DO NOT INCREASE SPEED. It can considerably intensify the fire.
Cold Start
Double check air supply is ON (Or you will have no brakes!) Set cooling controls fully forward Set prop to MAX RPM (Full forward) Set throttle to 1/3 open position Set fuel valve to OPEN (full forward) Set CARB HEAT to HOT (Full rearward position) if temperature is below freezing, otherwise fully forward Turn MAGS OFF ('0') Ensure that master switch is OFF (center position) and ignition switch is OFF (Down) Ground crew must pull propeller through at least 12 blades

CHECKLISTS
Preflight
If the aircraft has not been flown in a week or more, the following extra procedures must be followed:
Remove the lowest two spark plugs and clean. Remove the drain plugs in the three lowest inlet manifold tubes and allow any collected oil to drain.
Then: Inspect the ground around the prop for loose items, gravel etc. Check Propeller for nicks Check cowl flaps (louvers) for correct operation Ensure oil radiator cover is removed Check landing gear struts. Should be about 4 or 5 inches extended Check fuselage for damage Check ground for oil leaks Check cowl latches are secure Check main landing gear security - tires - latch & indicator Check flaps Drain fuel system Check rear fuselage for loose rivets and antennas Check control surfaces for freedom of movement Check cockpits for loose items Check canopy for cleanliness and cracks Check ailerons for freedom of movement Remove pitot cover & check static ports Check stall warning system (If fitted) Visually check fuel level Visually check oil level. MAX LEVEL: Normal flight 16 liters Aerobatic flight 10 liters MINIMUM level: 8 liters
If you have to bail out from upright flight: Release the seat belt Lift the parachute out of the seat pan Stand up in the seat Roll out of the aircraft, head down in a somersault position If both seats are occupied, the front seat occupant should leave the aircraft first.
