FOREWORD
FLY THE LEGENDARY ARROW!
We thank you for purchasing your copy of the Xtreme Proto-

types CF-105 Arrow add-on aircraft for Microsoft® Flight
Simulator X and Flight Simulator 2004.
This publication contains the necessary information for the

installation and operation of the CF-105 Arrow virtual air-
craft, 3D cockpits and instrument panels.
The Avro Arrow was a revolutionary aircraft and certainly

one of the most advanced of its time. It used computer con-
trol and “fly by wire” and was capable of flying over Mach 2.
In the late 1950s, the Arrow was probably the fastest jet
aircraft in the world. Spot plane view of the Xtreme Prototypes CF-105 Arrow
for Flight Simulator (FSX screenshot).
The Arrow is still a legend years after the Canadian govern-
ment ordered its development to stop and the prototypes destroyed before the aircraft could fulfill its intended role as a
new type of all-weather, high-altitude interceptor against Soviet long-range bombers during the Cold War.
For the Flight Simulation enthusiast, the Xtreme Prototypes CF-105 Arrow is a chance to experience first hand the sheer
performance of an aircraft whose advanced systems, cockpit ergonomics and visibility were quite a challenge for the test
pilots who flew them fifty years ago. Your CF-105 Arrow addon will allow you to fly at high altitudes at twice the speed of
sound, simulate the procedures required during test flights or reconnaissance and interception missions, and even test the
anticipated performance of the mighty Orenda PS-13 “Iroquois” engine that was being installed in the Arrow Mark 2 (RL-
206) at the time the Arrow program was cancelled.
Although this product is a game (and we do not pretend it is one hundred percent historically or technically accurate or
that it truly reproduces all the systems and flight characteristics of the real Arrow interceptor), we tried our best to de-
velop a high quality add-on aircraft that looks and behaves as realistically as possible.
For historical accuracy and in an effort to recreate what it was like to operate the real Avro Arrow, portions of this docu-
ment have been inspired or adapted from the original Arrow “Flight control system pilot’s manual” and from other Avro
aircraft flight manuals of the same era. We also wanted to give this manual a look and feel from the 1950s by using pres-
entation templates similar to those found in the original manuals. All images appearing in this document are actual
screenshots of the Xtreme Prototypes CF-105 Arrow virtual aircraft and panels captured in Microsoft® Flight Simulator X
or Flight Simulator 2004 game environments, except where otherwise noted.
The software and the manual have been designed to evolve with time, according to the feedback we receive from the flight
simulation community and Arrow fans around the world. Please let us know your comments, ideas and suggestions. We
invite you to visit our web site to get more information about this product and other exciting add-on products, available
patches and upgrades, and technical support: http://www.xtremeprototypes.com
For those interested in knowing more about the real Avro Arrow, we have included some interesting Internet links and a
selected bibliography at the end of this manual (see appendices 5 and 6).
We hope you will enjoy the Avro Arrow for Flight Simulator experience as much as we enjoyed developing this product.

cardinal rule that one does not mate a new engine to a

United States were increasingly concerned by the grow- case of the Arrow, it was decided to take the bold step of

ment for an all-weather interceptor aircraft. over 26,000 pounds of thrust.
The development of the Avro Arrow was met with rela-

tive success and new technological breakthroughs were
achieved in the process. Worth mentioning were the thin
shoulder-mounted delta wing with toothed leading edges,
the area-ruled fuselage, the fly-by-wire system with artifi-
cial force feedback, the multi-axis stability augmentation
system, the miniaturized high-pressure hydraulic system
and the flight computer whose vacuum-tube components
required an air-conditioning capacity well capable of cool-
ing a large office building.
The real Avro Arrow. (Canada’s Air Force)
By April of the following year and after months of discus-

sions, proposals and studies with the A.V. Roe Aircraft
Company of Canada (Avro Canada), the RCAF published
specification “AIR-7-3” which calls for a two-man crew,
twin-engined jet aircraft with a cruise speed of Mach 1.5
at FL500 and a maneuverability of 2 g at these flight
conditions. After some thorough researching of the then-
available offerings, it was concluded that such a platform
did not yet exist and would have to be developed entirely

Mach 2 specification. Flight testing concentrated mainly
on fine-tuning the flight computer’s parameters. The RCAF ordered all the Arrow-related documents de-
stroyed by fear of Soviet spies and the five aircraft were
to be sold in a last-minute deal to friendly interests who
would have used them for research purposes, but the cost
and complexities involved proved too much for the Brit-
ish and Canadian prospects and so two months after the
program cancellation, all the Arrows were cut into sad
chunks of scrap metal, later to be sold by the pound.
Along with the cancellation of the program came the pre-

dictable death of Avro Canada and the loss of some
40,000 jobs. Many of the laid-off Avro Canada engineers
(and their Canadian taxpayer-funded knowledge) went to
work for NASA’s space program and various interna-
tional supersonic transport programs including the Con-
corde.

(Mk.1, RL-201, FSX screenshot). a major aerospace player.
In the meantime, the ASTRA weapons fire-control system

was proving far more difficult and costly to develop than
originally planned. Also, there were increasing fears that
the Soviets might not use bombers at all to attack North
America, but rather would do so using long-range rockets.
Sputnik’s first orbital flight in 1957 did nothing to ap-
pease these fears.
These changing defense scenarios prompted authorities

to question the very concept of the manned interceptor.
Worse, the Avro Arrow was to be compatible with the
American Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE)
system which allowed an aircraft’s autopilot to be con-
trolled from the ground according to a ground computer’s
predictions of the enemy’s track. It was only a matter of

While all of the original Arrow aircraft were destroyed,

several replicas have been created over the years. A full-

The approximate gross weight of the airplane (including

full internal load and pilots) was approximately 56,920
pounds. However, this could vary a few hundred pounds,
depending on the engine configuration and on the type of
instrumentation or weapons systems carried.
Gross weight (MTOW): 62,430 lbs.

Empty weight: 43,960 lbs.
LIMITATIONS
Maximum speed: Mach 2.3 at 60,000 feet.

The Xtreme Prototypes CF-105 Arrow Mark 1 for Flight Cruise speed: Mach 0.91 at 36,000 feet.

AIRPLANE See appendix 1 (or the reference tab of the FS aircraft

Kneeboard) for full aircraft reference information.
The Arrow was a two-seat, twin-engine jet aircraft. It
featured a delta wing design that had the advantage of SERIAL NUMBERS
allowing for the wing’s leading edge to remain behind the
shock wave created by the aircraft’s nose when flying at The Royal Canadian Air Force serial numbers for the
supersonic speeds. Avro Arrow airplanes covered by this manual are 25201
to 25205 (Arrow Mk. 1) and 25206 (Arrow Mk. 2). The

was expected to break all speed records when the more
powerful Orenda PS-13 “Iroquois” engines were installed.
Armament was to consist of guided missiles and un-

guided nuclear rockets. Guns were not in the plans as the
aircraft was designed to engage targets at distance rather
than dogfight.
AIRPLANE DIMENSIONS
The overall dimensions of the airplane (in-flight configu-

ration, with gear up) were as follows:
Length: 78 feet.
Span: 50 feet.
Height: 20 feet. The Xtreme Prototypes CF-105 Arrow Mark 2 for Flight

Fuel System
Normal operation of the fuel system requires no special

attention once the engines are running stable.
In case of an engine failure, the engine must be isolated
from the fuel system by closing the high-pressure fuel
valve (clicking on the thrust lever once it is in the IDLE
position).
The CF-105 Arrow, along with other military aircraft,

allows isolation of either left or right fuel tanks by means
of the crossfeed switch. The selected side will feed both
engines through the crossfeed valve.
J4 Compass
Your CF-105 Arrow is equipped with the period-standard

J4 radio compass. The J4 system consists of a control
panel, a remote magnetic indicator (RMI) and the associ-
ated gyroscope and magnetic sensors.
In the default condition, the RMI will not be gyro stabi-

lized and will read magnetic heading. It is the responsi-
bility of the pilot to select the DG position on the J4 con-

NORMAL PROCEDURES
AND CHECK LIST SECTION 6
BEFORE CREATING A FLIGHT
At this time, you can either decide to create a new flight

and immediately take off from the runway or follow the
normal procedures to simulate a true “cold & dark
start” (all engines, lights and systems turned off).
The best option to simulate a cold start is to load one of

the “cold start” saved flights.
LOADING A “COLD START” SAVED FLIGHT
This section contains the complete normal procedures

and check list for the operation of the Xtreme Prototypes
CF-105 Arrow add-on aircraft for Flight Simulator. A
condensed version of these procedures is provided in the
checklist tab of the FS aircraft Kneeboard (F10).
Aircraft reference information is provided in appendix 1.

The same information is also available in the reference
information tab of the FS aircraft Kneeboard (F10).

THE SAVED FLIGHTS
You can load one of the ten saved flights included with
your Arrow add-on package as a “template” for a new
flight. This has the advantage of presetting all Arrow
internal systems and positioning the aircraft ready for
taxi or takeoff on the runway (or already in flight, de-
pending on the mission).
In addition, the “cold start” saved flights (flights 1, 4 and

6) will shut down the engines and turn off all electrical
power to the aircraft. Once a “cold start” saved flight has
been loaded, you can proceed to the NORMAL PROCE-

Appendix 4: TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Aircraft and VC display problems encountered in

Preview option box in FSX display settings must be un-
checked for proper aircraft (and VC) display. The current
version of the software does not support certain DirectX®
10 features. No such display problems have been reported
with DirectX® 9.
The engine is running (and/or the aircraft is mov-

ing by itself on the runway) at the beginning of a
new flight — By default, FSX and FS2004 load previ-
ously saved (or default) flights with the engine of the
aircraft running. To avoid this situation, you can load one
of the many Arrow saved flights included with your add-
on package as a “template” for your flight. This has the
advantage of presetting all Arrow internal systems and

KNOWN ISSUES
Screen becomes white with the “Light bloom” dis-

play option selected in FSX — If the “Light bloom”
option is selected in the FSX display settings, the Arrow
add-on aircraft may not appear in the aircraft preview
window and during flight with the screen becoming all
white. To avoid this problem, unselect the “Light bloom”
option in the FSX display settings page. This might also
improve your frame rate. This is a model-related issue
and cannot be corrected in the current version of the
software (1.0 for FS9 and FSX).
A4-1
Arrow saved flights cannot be found — Arrow saved
flights must not be confused with FSX missions. The Ar-
row saved flights can be loaded from the Free Flight page
in FSX (click on the Load… button) or the upper window
of the Select a Flight page in FS2004. The FSX saved
flights are installed in your “...My documents\Flight
