PZL-Mielec An-2 ASz-62IR Flight Manual – 1983 Edition with Amendments

Description

PZL-Mielec An-2 ASz-62IR Flight Manual (1983 Edition with Amendments)

This is the factory Flight Manual issued by WSK PZL-Mielec (Sygn. WSK PZL Mielec, Nr An-2/10/85) for the An-2 biplane powered by the ASz-62IR nine-cylinder radial engine. Originally issued November 15, 1970 and reissued as a complemented and revised April 5, 1983 edition, this manual carries the full log of revisions and amendments, with recorded changes running through October 1990 – meaning the document you receive reflects two decades of factory-approved updates layered onto the original text, not a single frozen printing.

Chapters Covered

This An-2 ASz-62IR Flight Manual is organized into seven numbered sections, exactly as issued by PZL-Mielec:

• Section 1-00 General Data
  • 1-00 Airplane Description (general arrangement and basic technical data)
  • 1-10 Airplane Design (fuselage, wings, control surfaces, controls, landing gear, cabins, airplane systems)
  • 1-20 Airplane Equipment (navigational/radio equipment, engine instruments, accessory and additional instruments)
  • 1-30 Power Plant (ASz-62IR design description, basic technical data, operating conditions, engine performance)
  • 1-40 Airplane Ag. Equipment (agricultural equipment description, radio-navigational equipment for the ag. version, main technical data, electro-pneumatic system)
• Section 2-00 Operating Conditions and Limitations (acceptable overloadings, altitude limits, acceptable airspeeds by version, accepted engine speeds, wind limits for take-off/landing/taxiing, prohibited maneuvers)
• Section 3-00 Airplane Performance (airplane speed, climbing time, take-off and landing run distance, range, ceiling)
• Section 4-00 Normal Procedures
  • 4-00 Airplane Operation (preparing for flight, pre-flight inspection, starting and testing the engine, taxiing, take-off with and without flaps, stall, climbing, horizontal flight, descent, landing, go-around, servicing the air heating and fuel systems)
  • 4-00 Check List
  • 4-10 Operating Airplane in Difficult Atmospheric Conditions
  • 4-20 Operating Radio-Navigational Instruments During Flight (radio-station, radio-compass ARK-9, induction compass GIK-1, radio altimeter A-037)
  • 4-40 Ag-Technical Flight Procedure, including air-field preparatory works for ag. flight operations

• Section 5-00 Emergency Situations (engine failure during and after take-off, engine failure and re-starting in flight, emergency landing, engine fire, aircraft fire, fuel and oil system malfunctions, engine temperature conditions, converter failure, damage to controls, flight during storm, bailing out, replacing fuses/bulbs in flight, using the filings signalling filter)
• Section 6-00 Tables and Diagrams (weighing sheet extract, climbing-speed-versus-altitude and maximum-speed-versus-altitude diagrams, take-off/landing nomograms)
• Section 7-00 Supplements (equipment-specific supplements, including operation of the BAKLAN-5 transceiver and other installed radio-navigational equipment)

Together these sections give a pilot or engineering reader the complete operating picture for the An-2 with the ASz-62IR engine: airframe and systems description, engine data, operating limits, published performance figures, normal flight-deck procedures from pre-flight through landing, the full emergency-situations drill, and the reference tables, diagrams and equipment supplements needed to support day-to-day operation across all five listed versions.

Key Technical Data Inside

• ASz-62IR engine: 9-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled, carburetor-type radial with a planetary reduction gear-box and single-speed centrifugal supercharger; four-blade AW-2 metal propeller; dry engine weight 579 kg ±2%
• Full engine power-rating table from take-off power (1000 HP at 2200 r.p.m.) down through rated continuous, 0.9, 0.75, 0.6 and 0.5 rated power settings, each with corresponding manifold pressure, fuel consumption and critical altitude
• Recommended fuel grades (min. octane 91, cross-referenced to USSR, UK and US standards), lubrication oil grades, ignition plug type SD-48ESM
• Acceptable airspeeds (V_pp) tabulated separately for the agricultural version and for the transport/passenger versions, plus stall speed, touch-down speed, diving-flight limit and flap-extension speeds
• Wind limitation tables for take-off, landing and taxiing on normal versus slippery airstrips, by headwind and crosswind component
• Documented performance: maximum speed 234 km/h at sea level (253 km/h at calculated altitude), cruising speed 190 km/h, climb times to 500 m / 1000 m / 2000 m, and take-off weight of 5250 kgf as the performance-section baseline
• Airplane basic dimensions, empty-weight and center-of-gravity tables for the agricultural version with spreader, spraying system, or in transport configuration

Why This An-2 ASz-62IR Manual Matters

This PZL-Mielec An-2 Flight Manual gives owners, pilots and maintenance personnel the manufacturer’s own operating limitations, checklists and emergency drills for the ASz-62IR-powered An-2 – information that determines how the airplane is legally and safely operated across every version it was built in. Because the manual carries the accumulated amendment record through 1990, it reflects factory-approved corrections and additions made well beyond the original 1983 print date, rather than an uncorrected first issue. Having the correct airspeeds, engine limits, wind limits and emergency procedures on hand, matched to your specific An-2 variant, is central to safe and compliant operation of this aircraft. Delivery is an instant PDF download after checkout – no shipping, no waiting. Read it on a laptop, tablet, or phone in the hangar or cockpit, or print any section you need for quick reference.
