 * Vertical rudders and Horizontal elevators are fixed in an inline position to prepare the water entry.
 * Roll rudders start steering by the anti-rolling controller.

 * 3) Propel engine starts cool idling while running. (Engine starts rotating with high-pressure air only.)
 * 4) Brakes on horizontal rudders (or elevators) are released. Depth meter starts working.
 * Water pressure after the entry downs a plate to start firing combustion chamber of the engine.
