Black Square Piston Duke pack - for CTC Aircraft Maintenance

Load the Black Square B60 Duke or Grand Duke and CTC Aircraft Maintenance recognises it from the sim's aircraft title, picks the variant and opens an airframe with everything the app does: tech log and MEL, part wear, scheduled inspections, stores, documents and the maintenance desk.

- Two variants: the B60 Duke and the Grand Duke, each with its own fuel load, weights and landing distance.

- Piston engine maintenance for the Lycoming TIO-541: magnetos, spark plugs, six cylinders per engine, turbocharger and wastegate, cowl flaps, oil cooler, propeller and governor, unfeathering accumulator, alternators, vacuum pumps, combustion heater and de-ice boots, all as parts that wear with how you fly.

- Piston limits from the manual: overboost above 41.5 inHg, overspeed above 2,900 rpm, CHT, TIT and oil temperature limits, and shock cooling faster than 60 °F a minute. Each is written up and wears the engine.

- Black Square's own engine health: the pack reads the Duke's engine condition, plug fouling, CHT, TIT, oil temperature and pressure, manifold pressure and shock cooling straight from the aircraft, and the app's engine wear follows it.

- In the aircraft: an engine that wears out can fail in the Duke, and repairing it in the app repairs it in the Duke too. Worn plugs foul the engine in the sim. Electrical circuits (fuel pumps, starters, cowl flaps, de-ice, heat, lights, radios, gear and flap motors) can fail through Black Square's own failure system: about 40 parts in all can fail in the Duke.

- GA inspections: 50-hour oil and filter, 100-hour inspection and annual inspection, with GA part lives and prices (an overhauled TIO-541 exchange, props, magnetos, plugs).

- A Duke-specific MEL: fuel boost pumps, brakes, pitot heat, trim, flaps, pressurisation and more, worded for a light twin.

- Tablet pages for a piston twin: a Duke top view, a TIO-541 engine drawing, RPM / manifold pressure / CHT / TIT / fuel flow gauges and trends with the real redlines, and no APU or hydraulic panels.

SimConnect only, like every ClearedToCode product. Black Square's tablet owns some failures (magnetos, alternators, turbocharger, governor, heater) and rewrites them every 10 seconds, so the pack keeps those in the tech log instead of fighting the tablet. The tablet's own failures and settings are never touched.

- Pack version 0.1.0, an early release. Until a short ground check confirms the writes, the pack only reads from the aircraft: failures are written up in the tech log and shown as pending instead of being set in the Duke. A pack update switches them on.

- Weights, speeds, flaps and engine limits come from Black Square's files and manual. Part lives, check intervals and prices are estimates, marked "estimated" in the app.

1. Buy and download `CTC-pistonduke-Pack-bksq-0.1.0.amm` from clearedtocode.com.

2. In CTC Aircraft Maintenance open Tools › Aircraft packs, press Install .amm and pick the file. The app checks the pack's signature and lists it.

3. Load the B60 Duke or Grand Duke. The app matches it and opens the airframe, or lets you start it as a used aircraft.
