4.2/5 (78)

===IMPORTANT INFO FOR XBOX USERS=== October 10th version 1.1.4 texture memory size optimized for PC/Xbox performance by 50-70%.

Welcome to Flysimware's Sierra C24R for Microsoft Flight simulator. Flysimware and 3DReach has modeled this vintage aircraft with extreme realism. With help from a friend who owns this aircraft we were able to get laser scans for modeling an exact replica, images for small details and textures and documentation for flight dynamics and other specifications.

The Sierra C24R is great for short hops with a ceiling of 14K feet. With six panels (3-G3X GLASS PANELS & 3-G5 ANALOG PANELS) you have many choices to choose from to fit your needs as a pilot. All the panels use the working title autopilot integration except for the G5 TDS GTN750Xi panel. This is a must have GA aircraft for your private hangar for many many years!

NOTE: Please contact us with product issues before you use the MarketPlace rating. Also if you already rated you can update your current rating with a new rating. NOTE: Xbox users will only be able to load our GNS530 and GTN750 from PMS50 panels. The GTN750Xi from TDS will not work due to limitations!

The C24R Sierra is a single-engine light airplane with retractable landing gear developed and manufactured by American aircraft producer Beechcraft. The low-wing model can seat up to six, including pilot. It was developed to be trainer and a reliable personal cruiser with improved performance over previous models in its lineage.

The C24R Sierra is one of several members of Beechcraft’s Musketeer family. The lineage was born in 1963 with the introduction of the Model 23 Musketeer. The Model 23 was Beech’s initiative to produce an entry-level airplane for personal use as well as for a wide spectrum of training purposes. Several members of the Musketeer line debuted in the following years, including the Super Musketeer and the Sundowner. The C model of the 24R Sierra was certified for operation in 1976.

The Musketeer C24R Sierra is a comfortable cross-country aircraft due to its wide cabin, pilot side door, and extended large rear / cargo door. It features retractable tricycle landing gear (which folds away from the fuselage), a powerful 200-horsepower engine, and constant speed propeller. It is an excellent platform for Complex Endorsement training.

One of the attributes pilots of the aircraft frequently note is its great cockpit visibility. This is due to the location of the wing aft of the aircraft’s front seats and a nose-down level flight, granting exceptional field of view. The Beechcraft Musketeer C24R Sierra measures 25 feet, 9 inches in length, stands 8 feet, 3 inches tall, and has a wingspan of 32 feet, 10 inches.

It is powered by a Lycoming IO-360-A1B6 4-cylinder engine that generates up to 200 horsepower. The engine drives a 3-blade, constant-speed propeller that was given a supplemental type certificate for the aircraft. C24R Sierra has a range of 745 miles, a service ceiling of 15,385 feet above sea level, and it climbs at 927 feet per minute.

It cruises at 166 miles per hour and has a do-not-exceed speed of 193 mph. Flight planning allows a higher speed cruise of 135-140 KTAS with 75% power, an economy setting of 125 KTAS with 65% power, or an endurance setting of 115 KTAS with 55% power.
