INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Training Guide is to prepare the candidate for the
training process. Dynamic Aviations core value is to focus on safety in the
training process. As Pilot in Command you are ultimately responsible for
the safe outcome of each flight you embark on.
It is important to know your airplane well in order to operate it in the most
safe and productive manner. In doing so, you will represent yourself and the
company well by your knowledge and your professional behavior. You will
be the face of the company to our customers and others who you may come
into contact with during your journeys. Flying for Dynamic Aviation will
offer both challenging and rewarding experiences and the goal of our
training department is to prepare you to meet those challenges and enjoy
those rewards in the future.
In preparation for training please have the following items memorized. All
memory items for emergencies, these are all the red highlighted items in the
QRH. The flows for the cockpit preflight, before start, after start, and before
take-off should be memorized at a minimum. Also be familiar with the
limitations section of the POM and have read through the systems
descriptions section. Questions regarding any of this information should be
referred to:
Dan Gleason Chief Pilot
James Esther Assistant Chief Pilot

Company Limitations
Objective: Provide a summary of aircraft and operating limitations on which Dynamic
Aviation imposes more stringent limitations than listed by the Manufacturer or FAA.

Synopsis: Dynamic Aviation has established certain limitations to be observed in

regards to the operation of their aircraft and by their personnel that may be different than
those listed in a manufacturers publications or required by Federal Aviation Regulations
(FARs). These company limitations are always more conservative than those issued by
the Manufacturer or FAA. As with all Dynamic Aviation SOPs they are never intended,
and should never be used, to violate any laws or FARs or exceed Manufacturer
prescribed tolerances. In any instance where a Dynamic Aviation procedure or limitation
would appear to be in violation of FAR or in excess of Manufacturer limitation the pilot
must operate within the law and limits set forth by the FAA or Manufacturer.
Dynamic Aviation company limitations have been set forth with the goal of producing
the best operating practices with regard to 1) Safety, 2) Prolonged engine or equipment
life, and 3) Economical operation of the aircraft.
Dynamic Aviation conducts a few projects or contracts which for various reasons require
a deviation from their more stringent company limitations and must operate the aircraft to
the limits provided by the manufacturer or FAR. In any case the pilot is asked to exceed
company limitations there should an operation specific SOP referencing that procedure,
otherwise, or if in doubt, the pilot should contact the Chief Pilot to verify the deviation
from the limits stated in this section.

Engines
Engine Limits
Reference the Pilots Operating Manual, Section III, page 3-3 for the Manufactures
Engine Operating Limits. Below is a list of only those items that Dynamic Aviation has
elected to limit, or de-rate, below the Manufactures limits. Use Manufactures limits
for any item not listed below.
Note: During any emergency or urgent condition the manufactures Max Continuous
limitations apply and the pilot should disregard any Dynamic Aviation limitation that
might apply. The Max. Cont. Limits per POM p.3-3 are:
SHP

850

Torque &

100%

Max TGTC

750

RPM N1

101.5

Prop RPM N2

2000

Oil Press

105-135

Oil Tmp

10 - 99

The Dynamic Aviation limitations are as follows:


________________________________________________________________________
REVISION: 1/2010

________________________________________________________________________
Max Power (Take off):
Reduced Power (Take off):
Climb Power:
Cruise Power:
Starting:

750C TGT, 100 % Torque, Props 2,000


750C TGT, 90 % Torque, Props 2,000
705C TGT, 90 % Torque, Props 1,900
690C TGT, 70 % Torque, Props 1,700
850C TGT

Reasoning: Turbine engines sustain exponentially more wear and deterioration at


hotter internal temperature. Dynamic Aviation de-rates the maximum allowable engine
temperatures and torque limits to prolong engine life and reduce overhaul frequency and
costs.
Starting
Minimum Battery Voltage (Battery Start):
Minimum Battery Voltage (GPU Start):
Minimum N1 prior to introducing fuel:
Maximum TGT during start:
Maximum Load before starting 2nd engine:
Minimum N1 prior to cross-generator start:

22 Volts
20 Volts
16% or stabilized above 12%
850C
50%
70%

Reasoning: Low battery voltage can result in low N1 during start; low N1 during
start can result in high internal engine temperatures during start; high internal engine
temperatures can cause engine damage, and result in shorter engine life and/or higher
overhaul costs. Lower load after starting the first engine indicates a better state of charge
on the battery (enough to attempt a start on the second engine). If N1 is too low on the
running engine during a cross-generator start it can cause excessively high TGTs on that
engine.
Shutdown
Maximum ITT:

610C for 1 minute.

The following strategies can be employed if unable to lower ITT within limit:
1) Ensure Generators are OFF
2) Retract inertial separators.
3) Increase N1 to 60%
Reasoning: To avoid shock cooling of turbine components brought on by rapid
cooling during shutdown we want to ensure the engines begin that cooling cycle from a
reasonable and stable temperature.

________________________________________________________________________
REVISION: 1/2010

10

________________________________________________________________________
Minimum Torque
Minimum In-flight Torque:

20% Torque

Note: On very short final, crossing the fence, power will be reduced to idle for landing
causing the torque to drop below 20 %, this is normal, however, in normal descents,
earlier in the pattern, on approach, or on extended finals power settings below this
minimum are not appropriate.
Note: Certain emergency procedures call for power to be reduced to idle. This minimum
only applies to normal operations and should be disregarded during any emergency or
urgent situation.
Reasoning: Prolonged or frequent use of power settings below 20 % during
flight can result in damage to the Reduction Gear Box, as well as not providing sufficient
bleed air to maintain pressurization.

Weather Minimums
Applicable regulations governing required weather minimums for flight will always be
observed, however, Dynamic Aviation imposes additional requirements on its pilots.
Every pilot upon completion of their captain checkout will be assigned an IFR
Category by the Dynamic Aviation Check Pilot who conducts their training or check
out, and is subject to review or change on any Annual Company Flight Review (AFR),
Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC), other type-specific checkout flight, or any other
flight with a Dynamic Aviation Check Pilot. The Categories are FAA, 1, 2, 3,
and 4, and require the pilot to add altitude and visibility to published minimums, per
the chart below, for the purposes of flight planning and procedure execution.
CATEGORY

Dynamic Aviation First Officers are not assigned an IFR Category and decisions
regarding required weather minimums will be made in reference to the Pilot in
Commands assigned IFR Category.

________________________________________________________________________
REVISION: 1/2010

11

________________________________________________________________________
Reasoning: Margins increase above and beyond legal requirements in order to
increase our margin of safety.

Fuel Minimums
Dynamic Aviation flights are to be planned for not less than 1 hour fuel reserve.
Reasoning: Margins increase above and beyond legal requirements in order to
increase our margin of safety.

Oil pressure
If oil pressure drops below 60 psi in-flight the pilot should perform a precautionary
engine shutdown.
Note: The pilot must make the safety of the flight paramount. Engine shutdown should
not be undertaken until the aircraft is in a position from which the remainder of the flight
can be safely completed on a single engine.
Reasoning: The POM recommends the same action when oil pressure drops
below 40 psi. PT-6 oil pumps run very consistent oil pressures within the engines. If oil
pressure drops even below the bottom of the green arc, 60 psi, there is a problem in the
oil system. The sooner the engine can be secured the less damage will be incurred,
resulting in lower overhaul costs.

Airspeeds
Minimum Single Engine
No full reverse below

120 knots
60 knots

Any limiting speeds (Vne, gear speeds, flap speeds, etc.) maintain a 5 knot buffer from
the limitation in order to avoid accidentally exceeding of those limits.

Flaps
Full flaps Any time full flaps has been selected the flap selector handle must be reset to
the approach detent.
Reasoning: In case of go around or any other situation that requires the flaps
being retracted, it removes the possibility of the pilot rapidly bumping the flap handle up,
only to have it go only to the approach detent, resulting in the flaps remaining fully
extended while the pilot is needing them to be retracting.
Single Engine not more than approach flaps (40%) shall be used
IMC conditions not more than approach flaps (40%) shall be used
________________________________________________________________________
REVISION: 1/2010

12

________________________________________________________________________
Reasoning: Higher flap settings create a significant amount of drag which can
quickly slow the aircraft below desired airspeeds or behind the power curve, from which
point it takes very high power settings to recover to normal airspeeds and/or may be
impossible to recover from, especially on a single engine. Any runway to which a single
engine approach is made, or has an MDA/DA lower than 400 AGL (see stabilized
approach) should easily be long enough to accommodate a landing with no more than
approach flaps.

Stabilized Approach
1. General
a. A stabilized approach is one in which the airplane is configured for landing
and no major configuration or attitude changes are made after reaching 400
AGL VMC, or the FAF IMC
2. Landing configuration
a. Gear extended
b. Flaps set to approach or higher
c. Props set for landing
3. Glide path
a. Established on glide path for runway in use
b. Not below VASI, PAPI or electronic glide slope
4. Descent rate
a. No more than 1,000 fpm
5. Airspeed
a. Vref +10 kts at 400 AGL gradually reduced to Vref over threshold
6. Power
a. Gradual reduction to idle at touchdown

Special flight checkouts


A standard captain checkout at Dynamic Aviation allows a pilot to fly from the left seat.
Unless a pilot is has received such a check out in the specific type of aircraft they must
not fly from the left seat unless flying with an approved Dynamic Aviation check pilot.
Any exception must be authorized by the chief pilot on an individual basis.
A specific check-out or sign-off is required for any pilot to perform any of the operations
listed below:
Single Pilot Operations
All Bridgewater Airpark Operations (Day and Night)
Operations requiring Night Vision Goggles
Low Level Operations Defined as flights below 1000 feet AGL, other than take-off and
landing.
The check-out may be combined with the initial captain checkout, on a separate occasion,
or combined with an AFR or IPC. There are no specific pilot logbook entries for the
check-out, but a record is kept in the pilots file at Dynamic Aviations headquarters in
Bridgewater, Virginia.

Restricted Category
Most King Airs operate in what the FAA would consider the normal category. The
airworthiness of these aircraft is determined by consulting FAR 23: Airworthiness
Standards Normal, Utility, Acrobatic, and Commuter Category Airplanes. While some of
Dynamic Aviations operations fall into the normal category, many of our operations do
not. FAR 23 is simply too restrictive to allow us to modify the aircraft with the necessary
equipment for the mission. We therefore also operate in the Restricted Category which
allows us to modify the aircraft to the extent necessary so long as they are not rendered
unsafe for the intended purpose. These rules are covered in FAR 21.25, Issue of type
certificate: Restricted category aircraft. Operations covered in this part include aerial
application and aerial survey.
A particular aircraft that is being operated in the Restricted Category can be returned to
the Normal Category by simply removing the equipment that is restrictive and
completing the appropriate paperwork. It is therefore important that the pilot determine
the Category in which the aircraft is currently certified by checking the aircraft logbook
for the last entry indicating the Category of the aircraft. Once the Category is
determined, make sure it is appropriate for the equipment installed and the operation
about to be conducted.
While the Restricted Category allows us to perform certain functions we would not be
able to otherwise, it does include some limitations, as covered in FAR 91.313. These
limitations are:

It may not be operated for anything other than the purpose it was certificated in the
Restricted Category for. In other words, it cannot be used to haul freight if it is in the
Restricted Category for Aerial Survey purposes.

It may not carry persons other than those required for the mission.

It may not be operated over a densely populated area, in a congested airway, or near a
busy airport with passenger service.
Note: Dynamic Aviation has a waiver for this limitation allowing us to operate in these areas

The aircraft must display the appropriate placards indicating it is being operated in the
Restricted Category

Public Aircraft
Dynamic Aviation operates some of our aircraft under the public aircraft status, this allows us
to operate the aircraft above the weight limit of 12,500 pounds without a type rating. The term
public aircraft is further defined below and is explained in detail. The information is only an
excerpt from official regulations governing this use and will not contain the complete
description.

Title 14 1.1
Public aircraft means any of the following aircraft when not being used for a commercial
purpose or to carry an individual other than a crewmember or qualified non-crewmember:
(1) An aircraft used only for the United States Government; an aircraft owned by the
Government and operated by any person for purposes related to crew training, equipment
development, or demonstration; an aircraft owned and operated by the government of a State,
the District of Columbia, or a territory or possession of the United States or a political
subdivision of one of these governments; or an aircraft exclusively leased for at least 90
continuous days by the government of a State, the District of Columbia, or a territory or
possession of the United States or a political subdivision of one of these governments.
(i) For the sole purpose of determining public aircraft status, commercial purposes
means the transportation of persons or property for compensation or hire, but does not
include the operation of an aircraft by the armed forces for reimbursement when that
reimbursement is required by any Federal statute, regulation, or directive, in effect on
November 1, 1999, or by one government on behalf of another government under a
cost reimbursement agreement if the government on whose behalf the operation is
conducted certifies to the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration that the
operation is necessary to respond to a significant and imminent threat to life or
property (including natural resources) and that no service by a private operator is
reasonably available to meet the threat.
(ii) For the sole purpose of determining public aircraft status, governmental function
means an activity undertaken by a government, such as national defense, intelligence
missions, firefighting, search and rescue, law enforcement (including transport of
prisoners, detainees, and illegal aliens), aeronautical research, or biological or geological
resource management.
(iii) For the sole purpose of determining public aircraft status, qualified noncrewmember means an individual, other than a member of the crew, aboard an aircraft
operated by the armed forces or an intelligence agency of the United States
Government, or whose presence is required to perform, or is associated with the
performance of, a governmental function.

________________________________________________________________________
The term commercial purpose is further defined by the following:
Whether used for "commercial purposes": One of the basic criteria in the current definition for
public aircraft status is that the aircraft is not being used for "commercial purposes." In view of
the fact that the term is used repeatedly throughout the new section, it is defined in subsection
(a).
The new 40125(a)(2) states:
"(2) COMMERCIAL PURPOSES--The term 'commercial purposes' means the
transportation of persons or property for compensation or hire, but does not include
the operation of an aircraft by a government under cost reimbursement required by
federal law or a cost reimbursement agreement
"(A) to undertake an inherently governmental function that is so intimately
related to the public interest as to mandate performance by the government
and require either the exercise of discretion in applying government authority
or the use of value judgment in making decisions for the government; or
"(B) to undertake other governmental functions, but only when needed to
respond to an imminent threat to life, property or natural resources, and no
service by a private operator is reasonably available to meet the threat."
Although Dynamic Aviation operates aircraft under the public aircraft status there is no
classification or registration required by the FAA as stated below:

FAA Public Order 8130.2F


20. PUBLIC AIRCRAFT.
b. Public Aircraft is NOT a status that is granted by the FAA. There is no
requirement to make a declaration in writing of this status, nor is there any
responsibility to carry any proof of this status. The burden of proof is on the
operator to establish to the FAAs satisfaction that an aircraft is a public aircraft
if its status is questioned.

SYSTEMS
The important thing when dealing with knowledge of systems is simply to know your
airplane. If everything is working the way it should, then flying can be easy. But what
happens when a system malfunctions? Without knowledge of systems or how they
interact with each other, you might not be able to troubleshoot problems accurately or
have enough information to produce a positive outcome to a situation.
The review of systems should be studied from the Systems Operations section in the
Pilots Operating Manual. Be aware that the description of the aircraft systems in this
section of the POM is to give an overview, not necessarily in detail, of how each system
works. You are, however, given the adequate knowledge needed to understand the
operations of each system. A systems test will be given during your training.
Although all systems should be studied and reviewed, here are a few specific items to
know well for training.
Fuel System
1. Be able to draw out the fuel system and appropriate components in a block
diagram format
2. Understand the aux fuel transfer and crossfeed systems and how to test and
operate them. Know what indications to look for during these test procedures. (i.e.
what lights are you looking for.)
3. Know fuel capacity and useable fuel
Electrical System
1. Study the electrical system having the mindset of how would I manage the
airplane if _________ component or electrical system failed
2. Know what the current limiters are, how to check them, why we check them, and
where they are on the electrical system diagram in the POM.
3. Know what items are on the hot battery bus and how they apply to operations.
Propellers
1. Understand the Autofeather system and the procedure for testing the operation of
the system
2. Understand what each governor does, what speed it limits the propeller too, and
how to test the over-speed governor.
Pressurization
1. Understand how the pressurization controller is set and what to look for if the
system malfunctions and know the appropriate response.
2. Know how to do the pressurization check.

CHIEF PILOT MEMOS


The Chief Pilot Memos are in-house publications distributed periodically to address
current pilot issues. Sometimes they draw attention to details that may not be as fully
developed in the SOPs or aircraft checklists and other times they are intended as
reminders or general information not directly related to company procedures.

Garmin GNS 530/530W Self Study Guide


Nearly all Dynamic Aviation aircraft are equipped with either the Garmin GNS 530 or
the GNS 530W, which is the WAAS capable version of the 530. These units are the
primary source for communication, ground-based navigation, and satellite based
navigation in our aircraft. It is therefore critical to our operation that all pilots have a
thorough understanding of the unit. Additionally, some aircraft are also equipped with a
secondary unit, the Garmin GNS 430 or 430W. Because operation of all of the Garmin
units is similar, this training is geared toward the Garmin GNS 530. Differences of the
other units will be covered at the end of the packet under Differences Training.
Regardless of your level of proficiency please take the time to download the Garmin
Trainer at http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3532 and go
through this self study.

Chapter 28.2

Standard Operating Procedures


Beech King Air A200
(C-12/RC-12)

Bridgewater, Virginia
2009

Chapter 1: Introduction and Manual Procedures


Preface
The Flight Training maneuvers and procedures described in this document will serve as the
basis for standardized instruction. They will also serve as guidelines to achieve the highest
possible level of proficiency, provide safe operation of the aircraft and serve as a guideline for
companywide standard operating procedures. At no time during flight training or operations
will the limitations of the aircraft be intentionally exceeded, nor maneuvers conducted that
would jeopardize safety.
This manual emphasizes attitude flying; pitch and power. A certain pitch attitude and power
setting for a given configuration will give a similar result every time. Varying meteorology,
aircraft loading and air density can alter the performance as read off the instrument panel;
however, this is an excellent starting place and will get the pilot very close to the desired result.
The pilot should have a high level of recall on the configurations, power settings and pitch
attitudes needed for each operation.
The Flows are not checklists. They are intended procedures for the pilot to complete needed
items before confirming them with the appropriate checklist.
There is no substitute for thinking about the given situation.
This manual is designed to provide specific guidance for a two crew environment and assign
crew duties as appropriate to the Pilot Flying, Pilot Monitoring and at the same time taking into
account seat and switch position. There are going to be some items that by virtue of location
must be associated with a particular crew position. This manual addresses who is responsible
for completing the procedures during all phases of the flight.
In a single pilot environment, the pilot completes all of the items listed in the flow and backs
his/her procedure up with the checklist items.
The following Standard Operating Procedures are mandatory.

Chapter 2: Standard Operating Procedures and Policies


GENERAL
This chapter is specific to the C12 aircraft. In cases of contradiction between this manual and
the Dynamic Aviation General Operations Manual, the pilot should follow the more restrictive
of the two and/or contact the Chief Pilot immediately to report the discrepancy and request
clarification.

CREWMEMBER ROLES
The flight crew consists of a Captain and a First Officer. The Captain must be a Dynamic
Aviation pilot. Additional crew may be required to operate equipment in the rear of the
aircraft. These additional crewmembers may or may not be Dynamic Aviation employees.

CREW COORDINATION
Pilot Flying
Pilot flying has the primary task of maintaining control and safe position of the aircraft. All
other tasks for the pilot flying are secondary. Secondary tasks for the pilot flying include
performing the PF duties as outlined in this SOP, briefing the approach, and delegating duties to
the pilot monitoring. Pilot flying is a role that is designated by the Captain, and does not
replace command authority. The role does require a certain amount of delegation and task
assignment to be done by the PF. While the Captain always maintains authority over the
aircraft, over-ruling PF decisions and delegated actions on a regular basis undermines crew
coordination and should not be done without due consideration.
Pilot Monitoring
The primary duties of the Pilot Monitoring is to monitor the flight to avoid dangerous
situations, maintain an increased situational awareness of the crew, and assist the pilot flying
by reducing the Pilot Flyings workload. This is best accomplished by focusing your available
time and resources toward maintaining a superior situational awareness while performing PM
duties as outlined in this SOP.
Changes in Navigation
Any change in navigation must be confirmed by both pilots prior to activating it. It may be as
simple as does this look good to you?, but both pilots must be in the loop as to where the
airplane is navigating.
Transfer of Controls

Any time there is a transfer of controls between pilots, the current Pilot Flying will
communicate, at a minimum, the altitude and heading/course clearance along with the words
you have the controls. The pilot receiving the controls will ensure good situational awareness
has been achieved, physically take the controls, and state I have the controls.
Sterile Cockpit
Flight crewmembers may not engage in, nor may any PIC permit, any activity during a
critical phase of flight which could distract any flight crewmember from the performance of
his/her duties or which could interfere in any way with the proper conduct of those duties.
Examples of unacceptable activities are:
Eating;
Engaging in nonessential conversations within the Flight Deck;
Nonessential communications between the cabin and Flight Deck crews; and/or
Reading publications not related to the conduct of the flight or are not required for the
safe operation of the aircraft.
For the purposes of this section, critical phases of flight include:
Outbound: From the beginning of the Before Start Checklist until 15 NM from the
departure airport
Inbound: From 15 NM from arrival airport until the completion of the Parking Checklist

CHECKLIST PROCEDURES
Introduction
Checklists are a fantastic tool, but they should not be used as an instruction card for how to fly
the airplane. A professional aviator should know all of the procedures necessary to operate the
aircraft. The checklists are designed only to ensure that in the process of accomplishing the
procedures, none of the critical items were missed. The checklist is to be used as a list of
critical items that must be re-checked after the procedures have been completed. It is not to
be used as a read-do instruction list to set up the aircraft. As such, all items included on the
checklist should be completed as part of the procedure prior to calling for the checklist. If a
switch needs to be moved during the performance of the checklist, it is an indication that the
procedure leading up to that point was incorrect.
Checklists are to be used during all appropriate phases of flight. All checklists are challenge and
response with one crewmember giving the challenge, and the appropriate crewmember
checking the item and stating the appropriate response. Checklists are not to be started until
all of the actions for that checklist have been performed. Checklists are not to be held halfway
through a checklist. If a checklist is interrupted, the last completed item should be read again,
then proceed with the remainder of the checklist. If there is any confusion, the checklist should
be started over. Single pilot operations are discussed in the differences section at the end.
When a checklist is completed, the pilot reading the challenges will announce the name of the
checklist, followed by the word complete. This will communicate to the other pilot the status
4

of the checklist. For those checklists divided by a line, the pilot will read the name of the
checklist followed by to the line. These statements are written on the checklist and should be
read aloud.
The remainder of this section provides general guidelines on how flows and checklists fit into
the overall flight. Specific procedures and checklists are located in Chapter 5: Normal
Procedures and Checklists, and in Chapter 6: Emergency Procedures and Checklists.
Checklist vs. Procedure List
The goal of the checklist is to remind the pilot of critical items, not necessarily to instruct on
procedures or even to remind the pilot of every item. With this in mind, some items that were
felt to be non-critical were omitted from the checklist. As an example, noting flight times and
OATs is not a checklist item. Those items would be covered in the flow, because a flow is a
procedure. Once the flow is completed, all of the checklist items should have been covered. At
that point the checklist is called for and is a tool to ensure all of the critical items were
completed by the procedure.
Flow
A flow is a procedure used to set up the aircraft for the appropriate phase of flight. Like every
other procedure that affects safety of flight, it is important that it be completed appropriately.
As previously stated, the flow must be completed prior to calling for the checklist. The checklist
is only used to check that the procedures are being completed appropriately.
Whenever possible, checklist items are ordered in a manner that will cause the pilot to
complete checklist items in the same order as they appear in the cockpit. Thus if two switches
are physically located next to each other, they will appear sequentially on the checklist. This
expedites completion as well as reduces omission by drawing attention to a gap in the flow if
an item is missed. All items on a given checklist must have been completed in the flow prior to
calling for the checklist. The checklist is to be used to check that all of the items have been
completed. It may not be used as a do list.
An additional function of the flow is to include items that may not necessarily warrant their
own item on a checklist. Certain functions such as crew comfort or record keeping items are
appropriate to include in a procedure, but do not affect the safety of flight. As such, these
items may be included in the flow for convenience purposes but are not contained on the
checklist.
CRM/ Division of Duties
All checklists are challenge and response. In the Before Start, After Start, and Parking
Checklists, the challenge is read by the First Officer. With the remaining checklists the
challenge is read by the Pilot Monitoring, who may be either the Captain or First Officer
depending upon who is taxiing/flying. The response is read by the person indicated in the
bracket next to the response on the checklist. In most cases the division is determined either
by physical location of the item or by appropriate person for phase of flight (i.e. Pilot Flying
completes the takeoff brief). In some cases the division is simply a matter of cross-check, such
5

as both pilots checking the annunciator panel just before takeoff. This ensures both pilots are
involved with the process. A key to the abbreviations follows:
CA - Captain
FO First Officer

PF Pilot Flying
PM Pilot Monitoring

BOTH Both Pilots


ALL All Occupants

Even though the duty is divided, both pilots should still endeavor to verify that the response of
the other pilot does indeed match the actual configuration of the aircraft. Additionally, certain
individual items may be reassigned by the Captain. For instance, if the Captain does the walkaround on a quick turn, he or she will simply read the response to that item even if it is labeled
as an FO item on the checklist. If the crew prefers, the FO may still read the response after
verifying the Captain completed the walk-around. Either way is acceptable. The only exception
there is to this rule is the items of verification where one crewmember reads the initial
response and the other crew member is required to verify the action. An example of this would
be the landing gear. The response to the challenge landing gear is 3 green by the PF and
Verified by the PM. In this case, of course, each response must be read by the appropriate
crewmember. The ability to reassign a few individual items for common sense reasons does
not mean that the Captain is allowed to completely reorder the division of duties, however.
Each crewmember is assigned specific duties during each phase of flight in order to create a
standard whereby each crewmember understands what is expected of them. It is unfair,
unsafe, and unacceptable to alter this standard.
Division of Checklists (Line Items)
A line within the checklist divides checklist items based on time of completion. The landing
checklist, for instance, places a line between items that can be completed immediately after the
gear is lowered and those items that may wait until short final. The line allows the completion
of checklist items at more appropriate times by dividing the duties into more manageable
chunks that better mesh with real world flying. The line helps comply with this idea by
allowing for some variation in the flight profiles. Sometimes you may be fully configured very
soon after extending the gear, sometimes you may leave the autopilot on to continue the
approach. In either case, you can begin the landing checklist at the same prompt every time,
namely gear down. If you are fully configured you would simply read the checklist all the way
through. If not, you would call for the Landing Checklist to the line. The PM would read the
items above the line, then state Landing checklist to the line. Notice the PM does not include
the word complete when only accomplishing those items above the line. When ready to
continue, the PF would call for Below the line and the PM would continue the checklist until
completion. Only at this point would the PM state Landing Checklist Complete.
Increased Situational Awareness
Checklists are organized to increase situational awareness during specific phases of flight. For
instance, the Taxi Checklist includes only two items, and only one of those items requires
looking inside. This is obviously to reduce distraction during a critical phase of flight. The taxi
checklist is the only ground checklist that may be completed without the parking brake set.
Generally speaking, the checklist should be held just below the level of the glareshield so as to
not cover flight critical instruments or the windshield. This is so that the pilot is able to keep his
6

or her eyes up and still use peripheral vision while reading the checklist. The pilot reading the
checklist should additionally continue to monitor surroundings to the best of their ability. At no
point should the checklist be placed in the lap or on a kneeboard while it is being referenced.
This puts the head down and takes the pilot reading the checklist completely out of the game.
As a general rule, heads up and eyes out will help maintain situational awareness, and
especially while referencing checklists.

Human Factors
Checklist is designed to be more user-friendly in order to increase actual checklist usage.
Redundancy between checklists is reduced to eliminate the feeling that we dont need to do
that checklist, it is all covered in this one.
Item Naming
Names of checklist items closely match the actual names as they are depicted in the cockpit.
For instance, Instrument and De-Ice Pressures has been renamed Suction and Pneumatic
Pressure because that is generally how the instruments are labeled in the cockpit.
As Required
Ironically, the only response that is not appropriate for an as required checklist item is as
required. Anytime you see as required as the readback, the response should be the actual
switch position(s) or configuration.
For example, the checklist item LightsAs Required *CA+. In this case the Captain would read
back landing and taxi lights on or whatever he chooses to turn on. He would not say as
required as the response.
Single Pilot Operation
The checklist may still be used in single pilot operations. In the case of single pilot operations,
the brackets indicating who is to read the response may be ignored with the exception of those
brackets labeled [ALL] because those items include all occupants, even if they are not pilots.

PROHIBITED OPERATIONS
Powerback
Using reverse to back the airplane under its own power (powering back) is prohibited.
Aerobatic Maneuvers
Aerobatic maneuvers are prohibited. For the purposes of this manual, aerobatic maneuvers are
defined as any operation in excess of 60 degrees of bank and/or 30 degrees of pitch.

Chapter 3: Normal Procedures, Checklists, and Maneuvers


INTRODUCTION TO NORMAL PROCEDURES AND CHECKLISTS
Procedures are the actions that must be completed to accomplish the flight. Checklists are
used to check that at least the items critical to the safety of flight have been completed.
Completing only the checklist items will not result in a satisfactory flight. Most procedures have
been incorporated into a flow pattern to ease learning and performance. These flows are
designed to sync with the checklist in a manner that reduces confusion, increases proficiency
and provides clarity on when items should be completed. In other words, the following flows
are the procedure for flying the airplane at Dynamic Aviation.

PREFLIGHT PROCEDURE
Objective:
To assure that all items in the cockpit are set for engine start and all preflight functional
checks have been completed. This flow is designed to provide guidance on a
recommended cockpit flow with the concept that this is the crews first flight of the day.
Subsequent flights by that crew can be preceded by the Before Start Checklist. An
organized preflight flow can be accomplished in a few seconds and will increase safety
and dispatch reliability.
When to Perform:
First flight of the day or whenever there is a crew change.

BEFORE START PROCEDURE
Objective:
The Before Start Flow is designed to ensure that all items in the cockpit are set for
engine start, to provide redundancy in the completion of certain items that are also
checked on the preflight, and to ensure proper configuration of the aircraft prior to
engine start. The redundancy is designed into the Before Start Flow and Checklist in
order to cover the crucial items needed to properly configure the aircraft on subsequent
flights when a preflight checklist may not have been completed. A pilot shall always
verify the proper cockpit configuration before start.
When to Perform:

TAXI PROCEDURE
Objective:
Provide guidance to the flight crew on completion of proper taxi procedures. Sterile
Cockpit procedures shall be maintained at all critical portions of aircraft surface
movement and at least one crewmember shall maintain a visual scan of the outside
environment. The taxi flow procedures are purposefully limited in scope to reduce
distractions to a minimum and allow the crew to maintain situational awareness while
the aircraft is moving. At no time should the crew begin any subsequent checklists
while taxiing and should wait until in a location and position to begin the Engine RunUp/Before Takeoff checklist. At all intersections, the crew will check to ensure the
intersecting taxiway, road, or runway is clear and verify this by announcing Clear
Left/Right.
When to Perform:
A safe and appropriate point during the taxi.
Description
Brakes ............................................................................................................... Check
Captain Checks brakes, and then First Officer checks brakes
Flight Instruments ............................................................................................ Check
Altimeter setting matches field elevation
Gyro Instruments turning in proper directions and indicating known headings
Compass Indicating known headings
Turn and Bank indicating turn in correct direction and ball opposite the direction of
turn
Crosscheck Altimeters and Heading Indicators with FOs side.
Taxi Checklist ......................................................................... Call for/Complete
Pilot Must:
1. Position controls properly, giving consideration to the wind direction and velocity.
2. Control direction and speed using Beta and nosewheel steering, with minimal use of
brakes.
3. Set the parking brake anytime the aircraft is stopped to prevent inadvertent
movement.
4. Avoid other aircraft and hazards.
5. Complete the appropriate checklist.
Note: The taxi light should be turned on from just before the aircraft leaves the block
under its own power until it comes to a stop in the block. At many FBOs the line
personnel are trained that when a pilot turns on his taxi light he is ready to move. Be
courteous to line personnel at night and turn off the taxi light as you are turning to line
up for the parking spot. In flight the taxi light should be turned off as the gear is
retracted and turned back on after the gear is down and locked.

21

ENGINE RUN UP PROCEDURE


Objective:
To determine that the pilot exhibits knowledge of the elements related to
recommended before takeoff procedures, including the reasons for checking each item
and how to detect malfunctions, positions the aircraft properly considering other
aircraft, divides attention inside and outside the cockpit and properly positions flight
controls.
When to Perform:
First flight of the day and any subsequent flights if desired by the Captain. Check may be
performed at any point along the taxi route where the airplane can be stopped and the
engine run-up can be completed with minimal affect on other operations.

Takeoff Brief
Objective:
To ensure both crewmembers understand the key elements related to the takeoff and
departure.
Description
The takeoff brief has nine major elements; power setting for takeoff, aircraft
configuration for takeoff, status of the Autofeather system, accelerate/stop distance,
decision speeds, type of departure, significant weather, emergency return plan, and
crew coordination. A detailed description of each item is below followed by a sample
brief at the end of this section.
1. Power Settings for Takeoff
a. Max Power Takeoff
i. This is a max torque or max temperature (whichever is reached first)
power setting. Max power is used when maximum performance is
needed for departing a runway and clearing obstacles on the climb out.
b. Reduced Power Takeoff
i. Based on normal loads and long runways, pilots may elect to use a 90%
torque setting for takeoff. The pilot must evaluate the conditions at each
airport and decide what power setting is appropriate. In an emergency
situation the pilot must use whatever power is available to get out of that
situation.
2. Flap configuration for Takeoff
a. Flaps Up
b. Flaps Approach
3. Autofeather Status
a. Autofeather Takeoff
i. The Autofeather system is armed and operational. If the aircraft
experiences a rollback and the Autofeather lights are lit (indicating N 1 at
or above 88-92%) the pilot will simply monitor the Autofeather and either
abort the takeoff (below decision/rotation airspeed) or continue the
takeoff and deal with the failure at a safe altitude. If the pilot elects to
stay in the pattern and land without completing the Engine Failure
checklist the pilot must at least move the inoperative engine prop lever
to feather.
b. Non-Autofeather Takeoff
i. The Autofeather system was either never installed or is currently
inoperative and deferred. If the Autofeather system is operational, it
must be used for the flight in accordance with the procedures in the
manual. If the aircraft experiences an engine failure after rotation (and
gear up) the pilot must identify, verify and feather. During a max power
takeoff power up is already accomplished. Clean up is complete as
soon as the gear and flaps are selected up.
4. Accelerate/Stop Distance
i. Use the tables found in the AFM/POM
30

ii. The PIC will determine Accelerate/Stop distance for the conditions of
flight.
1. For runways less than 6,000 feet and/or high density altitude,
calculate the accelerate/stop, takeoff or landing distances as
appropriate. Most situations will not result in a calculated
distance greater than this. This does not divorce the PIC from
sound judgment and the responsibility of checking calculated
distances to ensure safety in any given situation.
iii. In situations where the runway does not offer accelerate stop, such as
Bridgewater, no takeoffs will be conducted with non-Dynamic Aviation
employees on board.
5. Decision Speeds
a. Definition: A Decision speed defines the point between when the aircraft can
safely abort the takeoff, and when the aircraft can safely continue the takeoff
with an engine failure. While decision speed is primarily based on an engine
failure scenario, it also applies to most significant abnormalities. The primary
purpose of the decision speed is to provide the pilot with known and predictable
outcomes for go and no-go decisions based on proven performance data, thus
simplifying decision making during high risk and high workload operations.
Additionally, the procedures for using decision speed are trained for and
therefore familiar to the pilot. Deviations from decision speed procedures, while
sometimes necessary, place the pilot at greater risk by placing the aircraft in an
unfamiliar and unproven situation.
b. Runaway: An engine runaway (uncommanded overtorque) may not be
immediately noticed by a pilot during the takeoff roll. Additionally, there will not
be time, nor would it be appropriate to troubleshoot a runaway situation during
the takeoff roll. Therefore, the procedure for a runaway will be as follows
i. If there is an engine runaway prior to brake release, the takeoff will be
aborted, brakes will be held and the affected engine will be shut down
with the condition lever.
ii. If there is a runaway after initiating takeoff roll, the takeoff will be
continued.
1. In the event the engine subsequently fails before decision speed,
the situation will be treated as any other engine failure below
decision speed
2. If the engine remains running through the takeoff, the engine will
be secured after takeoff at a safe altitude and with proper crew
coordination
a. NOTE: an engine runaway will usually result in an engine
failure relatively quickly

c. Any Significant Abnormality on Takeoff


i. The decision/rotation speed for any Significant Abnormality (i.e. engine
failure, blown tire, incorrect engine gage reading, etc.) varies based on
weight and flap setting.
31

ii. Below the decision speed; if the pilot experiences any significant
abnormality they will abort the takeoff using the power levers and
continue straight ahead with braking as needed. Reverse on the good
engine should there be an engine failure can be used generously but
cautiously with opposite rudder input.
iii. Above the decision speed the pilot will continue the takeoff and climb
out. It is crucial that the gear be retracted in a timely manner, as the
aircraft does not perform well with the extra drag.
6. Type of Departure
i. VFR Departure
1. For VFR departures the pilot should brief the crew (or themselves
if single pilot) as to the pattern departure, initial altitude and
direction of flight. Other pertinent information may include
airspace concerns and ATC frequencies that may be required soon
after departure. Be sure to identify the airport of intended
landing in case of an emergency.
ii. IFR Departure
1. For IFR departures the pilot should brief the crew as to the
departure procedure, initial navigation fix, initial altitude and
frequencies. Airspace and terrain that could come into conflict
should be identified. Be sure to identify the airport of intended
landing in case of an emergency.
7. Significant Weather
a. Heavy Precipitation
b. Icing Conditions
c. Possible Windshear
d. Heavy Dust Storms
e. Any other weather the pilot feels it pertinent to the flight.
8. Emergency Return Plan
a. Is a Takeoff Alternate required
b. Where will the aircraft land if an emergency occurs during takeoff phase
c. What approach is expected, do you meet minimums
d. Any other contingencies to consider
9. Crew Coordination and Consensus
a. Verify that each crewmember is aware of all aspects of the departure.
10. Example Takeoff Brief:
This is a reduced power, zero flaps, autofeather armed, takeoff. We have
accelerate stop distance, decision speed is 102 knots. If we have a runaway prior to
brake release, I will abort with the appropriate condition lever, if after brake release,
we will continue the takeoff roll. Any other significant abnormality below 102 knots,
I will abort with the power levers. Above 102 knots, we will continue the takeoff.
Emergency return will be back here to Runway 27L. We will be departing on runway
heading to 5000 feet, first fix is BUNTS, which is in the GPS. There is no significant
weather. Do you have any questions?

Taxi Flow
Objective:
Provide guidance to the flight crew on completion of proper taxi procedures. Sterile
Cockpit procedures shall be maintained at all critical portions of aircraft surface
movement and at least one crewmember shall maintain a visual scan of the outside
environment. The taxi flow procedures are purposefully limited in scope to reduce
distractions to a minimum and allow the crew to maintain situational awareness while
the aircraft is moving. At no time should the crew begin any subsequent checklists
while taxiing and should wait until in a location and position to begin the Engine RunUp/Before Takeoff checklist. At all intersections, the crew will check to ensure the
intersecting taxiway, road, or runway is clear and verify this by announcing Clear
Left/Right.
When to Perform:
A safe and appropriate point during the taxi.
Description

Taxi Checklist ......................................................................... Call for/Complete
Pilot Must:
1. Position controls properly, giving consideration to the wind direction and velocity.
2. Control direction and speed using Beta and nosewheel steering, with minimal use of
brakes.
3. Set the parking brake anytime the aircraft is stopped to prevent inadvertent
movement.
4. Avoid other aircraft and hazards.
5. Complete the appropriate checklist.
Note: The taxi light should be turned on from just before the aircraft leaves the block
under its own power until it comes to a stop in the block. At many FBOs the line
personnel are trained that when a pilot turns on his taxi light he is ready to move. Be
courteous to line personnel at night and turn off the taxi light as you are turning to line
up for the parking spot. In flight the taxi light should be turned off as the gear is
retracted and turned back on after the gear is down and locked.

Takeoff Brief
Objective:
To ensure both crewmembers understand the key elements related to the takeoff and
departure.
Description
The takeoff brief has nine major elements; power setting for takeoff, aircraft
configuration for takeoff, status of the Autofeather system, accelerate/stop distance,
decision speeds, type of departure, significant weather, emergency return plan, and
crew coordination. A detailed description of each item is below followed by a sample
brief at the end of this section.
1. Power Settings for Takeoff
a. Max Power Takeoff
i. This is a max torque or max temperature (whichever is reached first)
power setting. Max power is used when maximum performance is
needed for departing a runway and clearing obstacles on the climb out.
b. Reduced Power Takeoff
i. Based on normal loads and long runways, pilots may elect to use a 90%
torque setting for takeoff. The pilot must evaluate the conditions at each
airport and decide what power setting is appropriate. In an emergency
situation the pilot must use whatever power is available to get out of that
situation.
2. Flap configuration for Takeoff
a. Flaps Up
b. Flaps Approach
3. Autofeather Status
a. Autofeather Takeoff
i. The Autofeather system is armed and operational. If the aircraft
experiences a rollback and the Autofeather lights are lit (indicating N 1 at
or above 88-92%) the pilot will simply monitor the Autofeather and either
abort the takeoff (below decision/rotation airspeed) or continue the
takeoff and deal with the failure at a safe altitude. If the pilot elects to
stay in the pattern and land without completing the Engine Failure
checklist the pilot must at least move the inoperative engine prop lever
to feather.
b. Non-Autofeather Takeoff
i. The Autofeather system was either never installed or is currently
inoperative and deferred. If the Autofeather system is operational, it
must be used for the flight in accordance with the procedures in the
manual. If the aircraft experiences an engine failure after rotation (and
gear up) the pilot must identify, verify and feather. During a max power
takeoff power up is already accomplished. Clean up is complete as
soon as the gear and flaps are selected up.
4. Accelerate/Stop Distance
i. Use the tables found in the AFM/POM
60

ii. The PIC will determine Accelerate/Stop distance for the conditions of
flight.
1. For runways less than 6,000 feet and/or high density altitude,
calculate the accelerate/stop, takeoff or landing distances as
appropriate. Most situations will not result in a calculated
distance greater than this. This does not divorce the PIC from
sound judgment and the responsibility of checking calculated
distances to ensure safety in any given situation.
iii. In situations where the runway does not offer accelerate stop, such as
Bridgewater, no takeoffs will be conducted with non-Dynamic Aviation
employees on board.
5. Decision Speeds
a. Definition: A Decision speed defines the point between when the aircraft can
safely abort the takeoff, and when the aircraft can safely continue the takeoff
with an engine failure. While decision speed is primarily based on an engine
failure scenario, it also applies to most significant abnormalities. The primary
purpose of the decision speed is to provide the pilot with known and predictable
outcomes for go and no-go decisions based on proven performance data, thus
simplifying decision making during high risk and high workload operations.
Additionally, the procedures for using decision speed are trained for and
therefore familiar to the pilot. Deviations from decision speed procedures, while
sometimes necessary, place the pilot at greater risk by placing the aircraft in an
unfamiliar and unproven situation.
b. Runaway: An engine runaway (uncomanded overtorque) may not be
immediately noticed by a pilot during the takeoff roll. Additionally, there will not
be time, nor would it be appropriate to troubleshoot a runaway situation during
the takeoff roll. Therefore, the procedure for a runaway will be as follows
i. If there is an engine runaway prior to brake release, the takeoff will be
aborted, brakes will be held and the affected engine will be shut down
with the condition lever.
ii. If there is a runaway after initiating takeoff roll, the takeoff will be
continued.
1. In the event the engine subsequently fails before decision speed,
the situation will be treated as any other engine failure below
decision speed
2. If the engine remains running through the takeoff, the engine will
be secured after takeoff at a safe altitude and with proper crew
coordination
a. NOTE: an engine runaway will usually result in an engine
failure relatively quickly

c. Any Significant Abnormality on Takeoff


i. The decision/rotation speed for any Significant Abnormality (i.e. engine
failure, blown tire, incorrect engine gage reading, etc.) varies based on
weight and flap setting.
61

ii. Below the decision speed; if the pilot experiences any significant
abnormality they will abort the takeoff using the power levers and
continue straight ahead with braking as needed. Reverse on the good
engine should there be an engine failure can be used generously but
cautiously with opposite rudder input.
iii. Above the decision speed the pilot will continue the takeoff and climb
out. It is crucial that the gear be retracted in a timely manner, as the
aircraft does not perform well with the extra drag.
6. Type of Departure
i. VFR Departure
1. For VFR departures the pilot should brief the crew (or themselves
if single pilot) as to the pattern departure, initial altitude and
direction of flight. Other pertinent information may include
airspace concerns and ATC frequencies that may be required soon
after departure. Be sure to identify the airport of intended
landing in case of an emergency.
ii. IFR Departure
1. For IFR departures the pilot should brief the crew as to the
departure procedure, initial navigation fix, initial altitude and
frequencies. Airspace and terrain that could come into conflict
should be identified. Be sure to identify the airport of intended
landing in case of an emergency.
7. Significant Weather
a. Heavy Precipitation
b. Icing Conditions
c. Possible Windshear
d. Heavy Dust Storms
e. Any other weather the pilot feels it pertinent to the flight.
8. Emergency Return Plan
a. Where will the aircraft land if an emergency occurs during takeoff phase
b. What approach is expected, do you meet minimums
c. Any other contingencies to consider
9. Crew Coordination and Consensus
a. Verify that each crewmember is aware of all aspects of the departure.
10. Example Takeoff Brief:
This is a reduced power, zero flaps, autofeather armed, takeoff. We have
accelerate stop distance, decision speed is 102 knots. If we have a runaway prior to
brake release, I will abort with the appropriate condition lever, if after brake release,
we will continue the takeoff roll. Any other significant abnormality below 102 knots,
I will abort with the power levers. Above 102 knots, we will continue the takeoff.
We will be departing on runway heading to 5000 feet, first fix is BUNTS, which is in
the GPS. There is no significant weather. Do you have any questions?

General Procedures and Profiles


Introduction
These general profiles and descriptions are Dynamic Aviations standardized procedures. Some
of the procedures discussed here will not have visual profiles but will be descriptions of how
you as a Dynamic Aviation pilot must operate the aircraft and complete the procedure. All
procedures will be accomplished in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations and Dynamic
Standardized Operating Procedures.

Takeoff Procedures
This is one of the most critical phases of flight. The workload is high and decisions have to be
made quickly and correctly.

Normal Takeoff: Rolling, Static, Flaps Approach, Flaps Up, Crosswind, Reduced
Visibility.
Prior to taking the runway for takeoff, complete the before takeoff checklist. The checklist is
designed so that if you are at a large airport holding short, in position and hold, or at an
uncontrolled field, the aircraft will be efficiently configured for takeoff when the appropriate
time comes. Before takeoff to the line should be completed prior to receiving your takeoff
clearance, or prior to taking the runway. Before takeoff below the line should be completed
after receiving the takeoff clearance and prior to crossing the hold short line.
When taking off into reduced visibility some careful considerations must be taken into account.
According to FAR 91.175, there are no criteria listed for takeoff minimums. If the minimums are
below the lowest usable approach minimums to your current airport, you must have an
alternate that meets the alternate minimums of FAR 91.169. The alternate must also be within
150 NM your departure airport.
At a field with accelerate stop, a rolling takeoff with flaps up and reduced power setting will be
preferred. If at an airfield without accelerate stop distance, use a static takeoff with flaps
approach profile and a full power setting. A static takeoff will be performed by holding the
brakes while increasing power. As soon as an N1 of 85% is reached, the brakes will be released
and the takeoff roll initiated.
Proper positioning of the flight controls for crosswind conditions must be used. This
demonstrates good flying technique and good situational awareness during the takeoff process.
During the standard takeoff, the PF will advance the power levers to the desired power setting.
If reduced power is selected, the PF will set the power at 90% torque. If full power, it will be set
at 100% torque or Max ITT.

77

The PIC is required to determine, prior to flight, the minimum safe altitude at which the aircraft
can safely level, if necessary, to accelerate to Blue Line when single engine. This altitude must
be a minimum of 400 AGL, but may be higher due to obstacles in the departure path.

APPROACH PROCEDURES
CREW COORDINATION
Duties of Pilot Flying
The Pilot Flying will be responsible for the following items:

Brief the Approach


o The Pilot Flying may not delegate this responsibility to the Pilot Monitoring,
except in emergency situations
Review the Approach as loaded in the GPS
Fly the Approach
Call for configuration changes
Assign duties to the PM

Duties of Pilot Monitoring


The Pilot Monitoring will be responsible for the following items:

Concur with the approach brief


o The Pilot Monitoring is required to review the approach procedure and concur
with the plan of action as laid out in the approach brief
Load the Approach
Monitor the approach
Make configuration changes as called for
Make Callouts
Look outside
Talk to ATC
Perform tasks as delegated by the Pilot Flying

STABILIZED FLIGHT CRITERIA


The plane should be fully configured for landing by reaching 400 AGL allowing the pilot to focus
on glide path, centerline and airspeed control; runway environment hazards; and touchdown
zone and runway exit plan; in a fully stabilized ship. High descent rates, major airspeed
corrections and airplane reconfigurations near the runway all detract from that primary focus.
Conditions may exist, such as turbulence or wind shear, which could easily require greater
power adjustments than stated below. And during the initial descent, ATC requirements or
certain higher threat environments may call for higher speeds and descent rates. However, by
reaching 400 AGL, transition to the stabilized approach should be complete. When we get
close to the ground, doing the same thing with the plane every time gives consistency across
crews, eliminates most surprises, and contributes to a predictably good outcome.

81

Requirements for Stabilized Flight require all of the following by 400 feet AGL (unless otherwise
noted):
1. Aircraft Configuration
a. Landing Gear selected down no later than the FAF on a straight in instrument
approach, or 1000 feet AGL on a visual approach or circle to land.
b. No major configuration changes (e.g. flaps) below 400 feet AGL
2. Glidepath
a. Established on glide path, when available (VASI, PAPI or electronic glide slope).
3. Descent rate
a. Not more than 1,000 fpm. Descent rates in excess of 1000 fpm indicate that the
aircraft is either in an inappropriate position for the approach, or that a tailwind
is in excess of reasonable limits for the approach. Excessive tailwind on the
approach typically indicates either the aircraft will land with an unacceptable
tailwind or a strong windshear will be encountered prior to reaching the runway.
4. Airspeed
a. 130 knots, gradually reduced to Vref over threshold
5. Power
a. No sudden, major changes in power, not more than +/- 20 % torque

82

NORMAL TWO ENGINE APPROACH PROCEDURES


Approach procedures are very similar for precision and non-precision approaches so both are
discussed together in the text. Where variations exist between the two, it will be noted.
Following the text are profiles for each type of approach, including all of the specific actions for
them.
Prior to beginning the approach, the Descent and Approach procedures should be completed.
The approach flaps should be extended to the approach setting and the airspeed reduced to
140 knots anytime after the initial approach fix but no later than 2 NM before the final
approach fix. At the FAF, the gear will be lowered, the props set to full, the airspeed reduced to
130 knots, and the Landing procedure completed at least to the line. In keeping with
stabilized flight criteria, flaps will only be extended beyond the approach setting if the aircraft is
VMC above 400 AGL, and the PF has briefed a full flap landing. As a result, many approaches
will not allow for the use of a full flap landing and should briefed and flown using approach
flaps only.

VISUAL APPROACH PROCEDURES


A visual approach may only be conducted when VFR visibility and cloud clearance can be
maintained at a pattern altitude of no less than 1000 feet AGL. When required by regulation,
the traffic pattern must be flown at 1500 feet AGL. When pattern altitude is not governed by
regulation, the PIC may choose to use a 1500 feet AGL pattern or a 1000 feet AGL pattern based
on current airspace and traffic considerations.
The visual approach pattern is composed of several gates which allow the aircraft to maintain
a similar position and configuration relative to the landing runway regardless of the airport in
which it is operating. This offers the Pilot Flying the advantage of familiarity and
standardization regardless of airport.

CIRCLE TO LAND APPROACHES


Circle to land approaches are a combination of the instrument approaches and visual
approaches discussed above and therefore the procedure for circle to land is simply a
combination of the other two. Per Dynamic Aviation policy, circle to land approaches may only
be conducted when the ceiling is at least 1000 feet AGL and the visibility is at least 3 NM. The
Pilot Flying will brief 1000 AGL and 3 NM visibility as the minimums for the approach, unless the
approach itself is more restrictive. In cases where the approach is more restrictive, the Pilot
Flying will brief the more restrictive ceiling (1000 AGL or approach minimums) and the more
restrictive visibility (3 NM or approach mimimums). Instrument approaches that culminate in a
circle to land will transition to as close to a VFR pattern as possible once visual conditions
persist.
A circle to land approach will begin in the same manner as every other instrument approach.
All procedures and call outs will remain the same up to the point where the aircraft is in visual
meteorological conditions. If the aircraft does break out at or above 1000 feet AGL, the aircraft
will attempt enter a visual pattern consisting of downwind, base, and final legs, if possible. If it
is not practical to enter a standard pattern, the Pilot Flying will use the remaining portions of
the standard visual approach pattern as references to ensure a stable visual approach. In other
words, if the aircraft breaks out on a modified base entry, the Pilot Flying will use the base leg
criteria of the visual approach (enter base at 800 AGL, 130 knots, flaps 60%, etc.) as a gate to
maintain a stabilized approach. In every approach the aircraft must be stabilized on final no
later than 400 feet AGL or a go-around must be executed immediately.

A go around will be initiated any time either crewmember loses confidence in the ability to
complete the approach successfully. Additionally, the following items will result in a mandatory
go around:

Full scale deflection of any course or slope indication currently in use for the approach
Loss of visual reference when that visual reference is a requirement to continue
When any flight crewmember or Air Traffic Controller calls for a go around

Go around callouts are nearly identical to the takeoff callouts after rotation with one exception,
the Pilot Flying will call for flaps approach immediately after pitching up and adding power

Chapter 4: Emergency Procedures, Checklists, and Maneuvers


INTRODUCTION TO EMERGENCY PROCEDURES, CHECKLISTS, AND MANEUVERS
No two emergencies are exactly the same. It is impossible to create maneuvers, procedures,
and checklists that will encompass every possibility and yet not overburden the flight crew.
Therefore, these maneuvers, procedures, and checklists are guidelines that have been
developed to result in the greatest amount of success the greatest amount of time. They are a
good core source for dealing with the emergencies that are typically encountered in flight.
They do not replace airmanship and command authority in any emergency situation.
Priorities
Primary responsibility in all flying events, especially emergencies, is flying the airplane. Aviate
first, deal with everything else later. In a two person crew, however, you can often do both at
the same time by delegating a pilot to fly while the other pilot deals with the emergency. It is
important that the flying pilot not allow themselves to become caught up in the emergency or
be distracted beyond the very strict duties of flying the airplane. The number one event in any
emergency is to determine who is flying the airplane. All of the remaining procedures are
predicated on the fact that someone has been assigned to fly the airplane.
Checklist Usage and Memory Items
Unlike Normal Checklists, Emergency Checklists are not to be performed in a flow prior to
completing the checklist. Emergency checklists are read-do checklists, meaning you will read
the item then accomplish the task. This is to reduce the complexity as much as possible in an
emergency event.
Immediate Action Items, however, are a procedure. They are to be accomplished as a
procedure, not as a read-do checklist. History has shown that when a human being is required
to rely on memory in an emergency, the rate of failure increases dramatically. This is one
reason why we train emergencies as much as we do. This is also the reason you should review
emergency procedures as much as practical between training events. Memory items are
procedures. A professional pilot should know how to perform the emergency memory items
better than the procedure for starting an engine. The memory items have been reduced to the
bare minimum. Only those items that pose an immediate danger to flight, or that may not be
able to be performed in reference to the checklist (i.e. heavy smoke in the cockpit) are memory
items. If the pilot decides that there is not sufficient cause to perform the memory items from
memory, the items may be accomplished with reference to the checklist. This does not relieve
the pilot from knowing the memory items, however.
Quick Reference Handbook (QRH)
The Quick Reference Handbook contains all of the emergency procedures in use at Dynamic
Aviation. The emergency procedures and checklists in the QRH contain the original items of the
AFM but also include the additional equipment installed in our modified aircraft and contain
97

more restrictive procedures than the original AFM. Because of this, the emergency procedures
in the QRH supersede those found in the AFM.
Phases of Flight
The current phase of flight will be a determining factor in how an emergency is dealt with.
During critical phases of flight, dealing with the malfunction will be limited to immediate action
items. All other items will be held until the aircraft is in less critical position. As a general
guideline, a critical phase of flight is anytime the aircraft is below the minimum safe altitude for
your area of operation or inside the Final Approach Fix on an approach. Minimum safe altitude
will always be at least 400 feet AGL, and may be much higher depending on obstacles. In these
phases of flight, the crew is expected to make the attempt to exit the critical phase of flight,
usually by climbing out of it, prior to commencing emergency checklists.
Crew Coordination
The first pilot to notice an issue should call out Malfunction regardless of the malfunction
noticed. The Pilot Flying will perform the necessary immediate action items, as necessary and
attempt to exit the critical area of flight, if applicable. Once immediate action items are
complete and the aircraft is reasonably stable, the Captain will designate the person who is to
perform as the Pilot Flying. From there, the PM should make a quick determination of what is
malfunctioning. If the Master Caution or Master Warning has triggered, the PM will read out all
Caution and Warning Annunciations before cancelling the Master light. In cases where no
Caution or Warning annunciations are present, the PM will read out all pertinent indications.
Unless the malfunction is definitively determined, it is important to only read the indications
rather than jumping to conclusions. It is too easy to say engine failure when the engine
gauges are jumping around when in reality you may have a malfunctioning prop,
malfunctioning instrument, or something far less critical than a failing engine. Instead, it would
be more appropriate to read off the erratic engine indications followed by the remaining
gauges, such as Props and Torque are jumping all over the place, but N1, TGT, Oil Pres and
Temps look good. The crew should act according to the indications presented rather than
trying to fit the problem into a neat little box. During all of this, of course, the Pilot Flying will
simply be doing the best job possible of flying the aircraft in its current state and safely
navigating. The PM will take care of the issue and keep the PF informed to the greatest extent
possible.
Pilot Flying
The duties for the Pilot Flying remain essentially the same during an emergency, namely to fly
the airplane. Primary responsibility remains the safe flying and navigating of the airplane. The
PF should have the discipline to remain relatively uninvolved in the troubleshooting of the
malfunction and focus on flying the aircraft as it is presented. This means keeping the aircraft
in a stable and safe position regardless of what the malfunction is perceived to be. Even if the
aircraft shouldnt be doing this in a perceived malfunction, the PF needs to do whatever it
takes to keep the aircraft flying. The PM will discuss everything that is noticed and all actions
being performed so the PF is aware of what is going on, but the PF should not get involved in
the procedure apart from what is required of the flying pilot.
98

Immediate action items constitute a direct and immediate danger to the flight of the aircraft.
As such, immediate action items are often performed by the Pilot Flying for the purpose of
keeping the aircraft stable and safe. It is impossible to define what items in any given situation
will be immediate action items, but generally the memory items on the Emergency Checklist
will be immediate action items and will be performed by the PF. Additionally, either pilot may
perform any action during an emergency using emergency authority, but this must be
justifiable, and it does not negate the purpose of Standard Operating Procedures.
Duties that are usually performed by the PM that are transferred to the PF during an
emergency are communicating with ATC, inputting navigation commands, and performing
checklists up to the Approach Checklist. In an emergency, the PF will be primarily responsible
for the communication and navigation decisions being made during the course of the
emergency. The PM should monitor communications and advocate as time and workload
permit, but the aircraft needs to be moving in a positive direction while the malfunction is
being dealt with. If the aircraft can be safely landed at a suitable location, it should be, even if
malfunction has not been completely brought under control. In other words, the PF and PM
should have two separate primary objectives during an emergency. The PF has the objective of
safely flying and navigating the aircraft ultimately leading to a safe landing, sometimes as soon
as possible. The PM has the objective of minimizing the impact of the malfunction on the PF.
Regardless of the situation, the PM should shift priority back to flying duties once an approach
reaches the FAF. At this point, the PM will resume the duties of performing the Approach and
Landing Checklists. This is to reduce the workload on the PF in a critical phase of flight.
There seems to be a lot of gray area between Pilot Flying authority in an emergency, and
Captain command authority in an emergency. In reality, all authority is delegated by the
Captain. Some Captains may be comfortable allowing the FO to be the PF during an emergency
and having them make the decisions that come with that authority, others may prefer to
assume the role of PF during an emergency. Either choice is fine. What the Captain may not
do, however, is attempt to assume both roles. The Captain must pick a role to fill during the
emergency and remain dedicated to that role only. Additionally, regardless of who is the PF,
only the PF is to perform the immediate action items. This authority is always granted to the
PF, regardless of rank. Transferring controls for the purpose of completing immediate action
items is prohibited unless absolutely required due to the nature of the situation. In other
words, the Captain may not brief In the event of an engine failure, I will take the controls. If
the FO cannot be trusted to perform immediate actions items, this should be communicated to
the Chief Pilot immediately.
Pilot Monitoring
The primary responsibility of the Pilot Monitoring during an emergency is to minimize the
impact of the malfunction on the Pilot Flying, and thus the aircraft as a whole. This is most
often accomplished by communicating the indication to the PF and by securing the
malfunctioning system in accordance with the checklist, and by checking circuit breakers and
reading off indications and annunciations. In the event the aircraft is about to begin an
approach, the priority of the PM shifts from dealing with the malfunction to assuming normal
PM duties for the approach no later than the FAF. This is to ensure the aircraft is properly
99

monitored through the high workload environment of shooting an approach and landing. Once
again, flying the airplane always is the primary concern in an emergency.
Emergency Descent
The Emergency Descent procedure is often called for in other emergency procedures when
pressurization issues exist, or when time to landing is critical. When another checklist indicates
the Emergency Descent should be performed As Required the intent is that the Emergency
Descent procedure will be accomplished unless the aircraft is already operating at lower
altitudes which, of course, dont require any descent to be accomplished. The Emergency
Descent procedure is discussed in the next section.

100

EMERGENCY AND ABNORMAL PROCEDURES AND CHECKLISTS


The following procedures and checklists are divided into emergencies and abnormals. All of the
emergency procedures and checklists are included in this SOP to expand upon the procedures
and provide the pilot with additional guidance and knowledge. Abnormal checklists do not
have immediate action items that must be performed as a procedure from memory and should
be done in reference to the Quick Reference Handbook (QRH). As such, the abnormal checklists
are not further described in this SOP.

ENGINE FAILURE/FIRE/SEVERE DAMAGE


Major engine faults are combined into one procedure and checklist that encompasses the most
common major issues with engines. This decreases complexity, thus increasing the probability
of a positive result. In addition, an engine fire or severe damage will very quickly lead to an
engine failure (either by the nature of the malfunction or by the precautionary shutdown),
therefore the procedures are very similar anyway. An Engine Failure refers to any situation
where the engine ceases to produce commanded power. An Engine Fire is any time a fire
indication exists, whether it be an annunciation or a visual indication. Engine Severe Damage is
anything that indicates an imminent failure such as a Chip Detector light, loss of oil quantity, or
visual cues to impending failure (large amount of oil on cowl, massive vibration, etc.). This
procedure may also be used for a Precautionary Engine Shutdown and Engine Rollback (engine
reduces to idle power with no other fault indications). In the case of a precautionary shutdown,
the immediate action items may be done in reference to the checklist, unless time is critical. In
a rollback, the crew may elect to stop the checklist prior to Condition Lever Cut-Off and allow
the engine to run, thus powering the generator.

Immediate Action Items


These items may be performed any time they are required, as determined by the
Pilot Flying. As a general rule, if both engines are producing power the PF should
wait until out of a critical phase of flight to accomplish the Identify, Verify,
Feather portion.
Power .......................................................................................... Max Available [PF]
Advance both Power Levers until reaching 100% Torque or 750 TGT. Set
Props to full, if required. Advancing both power levers will arm the
autofeather system and should feather the inoperative engine propeller
automatically
Gear ................................................................................................................Up [PF]
Flaps ...............................................................................................................Up [PF]
Identify ................................................................. Malfunction on Left or Right [PF]
First pilot to notice the malfunction states Malfunction on Left (or Right).
Verify .................................................................................... Verify Left or Right [PF]
Pilot Flying will place his/her hand on the Power Lever of the
malfunctioning engine and wait for verification from the Pilot Monitoring.
101

He/She will then retard Power Lever of malfunctioning engine to idle. At


the very least, verify the decreasing power lever is not affecting the good
engine. This step will also confirm the existence of a runaway because in a
runaway situation the power lever will have not affect the engine power.
.............................................................................................................. Verified [PM]
Pilot Monitoring will verify the Pilot Flying has placed his/her hand on the
correct power lever.
Feather .............................................................................. Feather Left or Right [PF]
Pilot Flying will place his/her hand on the Prop Lever of the malfunctioning
engine and wait for verification from the Pilot Monitoring. He/She will then
pull the lever to the feather position.
.............................................................................................................. Verified [PM]
Pilot Monitoring will verify the Pilot Flying has placed his/her hand on the
correct prop lever.
Pilot Flying ............................................................................................... Assign [CA]
The Captain will designate who will become the Pilot Flying, and who will be
the person to continue dealing with the malfunction.
Checklist Items
These items should only be performed outside of a critical phase of flight unless
extenuating circumstances require otherwise. They will be performed by the
Pilot Monitoring while the Pilot Flying begins to execute a plan to land at the
nearest suitable airport. In cases of Engine Fire or Engine Severe Damage, these
actions should be the very highest priority for the Pilot Monitoring and should be
completed immediately upon reaching minimum safe altitude.
Condition Lever ..................................................................................... Verified [PF]
Pilot Monitoring will place his/her hand on the appropriate Condition Lever
and wait for the Pilot Flying to visually check and verbally verify it is the
correct one.
............................................................................................................... Cut-Off [PM]
After verification is received, the Pilot Monitoring will move the Condition
Lever to Cut-Off.
Fire Handle ............................................................................................ Verified [PF]
Pilot Monitoring will place his/her hand on the appropriate Fire Handle and
wait for the Pilot Flying to visually check and verbally verify it is the correct
one.
..................................................................................................................... Pull [PM]
After verification is received, the Pilot Monitoring will pull the Fire Handle
Crossfeed .....................................................................................................Off [PM]
Standby Pump ..............................................................................................Off [PM]
Eng Auto Ign .................................................................................................Off [PM]
Generator .....................................................................................................Off [PM]
Bleed Air Valve .............................................................................................Off [PM]
Autofeather ..................................................................................................Off [PM]
Fire Extinguisher ..............................................................Actuate As Required [PM]
102

The Fire Extinguisher should not be actuated until the possible sources of
fire have been removed, especially the fuel. This will hopefully allow the fire
to decrease to the point of allowing the fire bottle the greatest chance of
extinguishing any remaining fire.
LAND AT NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT

closest suitable airport may be behind you.
Engine Fire/ Failure/ Severe Damage Checklist Complete

PRECAUTIONARY ENGINE SHUTDOWN


See ENGINE FIRE/FAILURE/SEVERE DAMAGE procedure.

SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT OR CABIN


The greatest danger smoke in the airplane poses is the insidious nature of the event. Many
times a small amount of smoke will be detected by the crew and the cause will later be
determined to have been inconsequential. Unfortunately, the sustained, intense, unsurvivable
fires begin in the same manner. Rarely does a raging fire start with a gigantic burst of flames. It
most often begins as a small smoldering fire that creates the same small hint of smoke as the
inconsequential smoke. In only a few minutes, though, this fire will turn into an intense flame
that is uncontrollable. The only way to know for certain which fire you are dealing with is to
determine the cause, and this simply cannot be done in flight in the amount of time you may
potentially have left until the airplane environment is no longer conducive to sustaining life.
Because there will always exist a certain fixed amount of time required to get the airplane on
the ground, every moment of delay and troubleshooting compounds the amount of time prior
to being able to evacuate. In other words, when you are on fire and seconds count, you are
only minutes away from evacuating. Using these assumptions, the Smoke in the Cockpit or
Cabin checklist is designed to reduce or eliminate the fire at its earliest stages before it has the
chance to accelerate, and to place the aircraft in a position in which the crew can get on the
ground and evacuate as soon as possible.
It is especially important to know and frequently review SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT OR CABIN
Immediate Action Items both due to the nature of the emergency, and due to the fact that thick
smoke can prevent viewing the checklist because of decreased vision or irritation to the eyes
from the smoke itself.
Immediate Action Items
These items may be performed any time they are required, as determined by the
Pilot Flying.
103

Oxygen Masks and Smoke Goggles.................................................. Don 100% [ALL]


Staying alive and conscious is the most important step in dealing with this
emergency. The rest of the checklist is worthless if the crew is unconscious.
Place the mask over the nose and mouth and adjust to a tight fit. Plug the
mask in, if necessary, and select 100% oxygen if the mask has a dilution
function. Dilution allows smoky air from the cockpit into the mask, setting
100% oxygen prevents the smoke from entering. Don the smoke goggles, if
present, and tighten to fit.
Crew and Cabin Oxygen ........................................................................ Pull On [PM]
The small amount of oxygen that is added with the addition of Cabin
oxygen is inconsequential to the fire, especially in relation to lives that will
be lost to smoke inhalation in the first stages of a fire.
Mic Selector ................................................................................ Oxygen Mask [ALL]
Transfer Controls to First Officer
Once electrical power is turned off, the First Officer will be the only pilot left
with an attitude indicator. Once the First Officer assumes the controls, he
or she may immediately begin the Emergency Descent procedure, as
appropriate
Emergency Descent ....................................................................... As Required [FO]
The Emergency Descent is required to place the aircraft in a position closer
to landing, thereby decreasing the amount of time to get on the ground and
evacuate
Bleed Air .................................................................................... Both Enviro Off [CA]
This is the center position of the Bleed Air switch and cuts off bleed air to
the cabin while still allowing bleed air to power the First Officer
instruments.
Cabin Pressure Switch ............................................................................. DUMP [CA]
Landing Gear Handle ................................................................................ Down [CA]
Lower the landing gear prior to turning off electrical power to ensure the
aircraft is in a configuration for immediate landing.
Flaps ........................................................................................................... Approach
Lower the flaps to approach prior to turning off electrical power to ensure
the aircraft is in a configuration for immediate landing.
Landing Gear Indicator.......................................................................... 3 Green [CA]
............................................................................................................... Verified [FO]
This will most likely be the last chance to verify the gear is down and locked
prior to landing.
Master Switch (Gang Bar) .............................................................................Off [CA]
The crew may want declare an emergency or acquire a course to the
nearest suitable airport prior to turning off the power.
Storm Window ................................................................Open, As Required [BOTH]
Once depressurized, opening the storm window may significantly reduce
smoke in the immediate cockpit area.

104

Checklist Items
If electrical power absolutely required:
Electrical power may only be turned back on if the aircraft cannot be landed
safely without electrical power.
Cabin Temp Mode ........................................................................................Off [CA]
Vent Blowers ....................................................................................... Both Off [CA]

LAND AT NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT
Land at the closest suitable airport in terms of time, keeping in mind the
closest suitable airport may be behind you. In flight fires are not something
to be taken lightly, and can potentially flare up again at any time.
Smoke in the Cockpit or Cabin Checklist Complete

RAPID DEPRESSURIZATION
Although the cause of the depressurization may be quite serious, a loss of pressurization, in and
of itself only poses one major concern, namely consciousness. Therefore, the immediate action
item is to get the oxygen mask on and flowing. Do not spend any time trying to discern the
cause or troubleshoot any other item until your consciousness has been assured. Once the
crew is breathing supplemental oxygen, proceed with the checklist at a deliberate rate. Keep in
mind the cause of the depressurization may have also caused structural damage to the aircraft.
Aggressive maneuvers should be avoided.
Immediate Action Items
These items may be performed any time they are required, as determined by the
Pilot Flying.
Oxygen Masks .................................................................................. Don 100% [ALL]
Staying alive and conscious is the most important step in dealing with this
emergency. The rest of the checklist is worthless if the crew is unconscious.
Place the mask over the nose and mouth and adjust to a tight fit. Plug the
mask in, if necessary, and select 100% oxygen if the mask has a dilution
function.

making a relatively controllable event into something hurried and uncontrolled.
Rapid Depressurization Checklist Complete

EVACUATION/ENGINE FIRE ON GROUND


The three primary goals of this checklist are to make the airplane safe for people on the ground
(rescue and evacuees), extinguish the fire, if necessary, and safely egress the aircraft. The
entire procedure consists of Immediate Action Items.
Immediate Action Items
These items may be performed any time they are required, as determined by the
Captain.

Fire Extinguisher ............................................................... Actuate as Required [CA]
Evacuation .............................................................................................. Initiate [CA]
Egress the aircraft through the most expeditious exit that can be safely used.
Always ascertain the conditions outside of an exit prior to opening. If fire or
hazardous debris exist, attempt to use a more favorable exit.
Evacuation/Engine Fire on Ground Checklist Complete

EMERGENCY DESCENT
Emergency descents are generally performed for one of two reasons. First is to descend to an
altitude for the purpose of breathing without supplemental oxygen. The second is to get the
aircraft in a position to land as soon as possible, such as a cabin fire scenario. In either scenario
the crew should be planning and moving in a positive direction during the descent to place the
aircraft in the best position for a positive outcome. Because the checklist may be critical to
survival, it is entirely made up of immediate action items. In no circumstances, however,
should the procedure be anything more than a deliberate controlled maneuver. This is
especially important in rapid depressurization situations when structural integrity is unknown.
106

When another checklist indicates the Emergency Descent should be performed As Required
the intent is that the Emergency Descent procedure will be accomplished unless the aircraft is
already operating at lower altitudes which, of course, dont require any descent to be
accomplished.
Immediate Action Items
Auto Pilot ...................................................................................................... Off [PF]
Power Levers ................................................................................................ Idle [PF]
Prop Levers..................................................................................... Full Forward [PF]
Flaps ........................................................................... Approach (Max 200 KTS) [PF]
Landing Gear .....................................................................Down (Max 182 KTS) [PF]
Airspeed ................................................................................................ 175 KTS [PF]
Altitude ................................................................... Descent to 10,000 or MEA *PF+
The altitude to which descent is made is almost entirely a function of the situation
but the initial plan should be to descend to 10,000, unless obstacle clearance
and/or safe navigation require a higher altitude.
Note:
Aircraft should be turned in the direction of the nearest suitable airport and a plan
should be made for an approach and landing at that airport. The aircraft may be
put in a bank to increase descent rate if loss of altitude is more critical than
landing. If landing is more critical, the aircraft should not be put in a bank at the
expense of proceeding in a positive direction to the nearest airport.
LAND AT NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT

BLEED AIR LINE FAILURE


Engine bleed air is very hot and can easily weaken and damage components or start a fire as it
comes into contact with other parts of the aircraft. The purpose of this checklist is to shut off
the bleed air source as soon as possible. There are no Immediate Action Items associated with
this procedure, but the malfunction does constitute an emergency and should be dealt with
promptly.
Checklist Items

EMERGENCY MANEUVERS
The following emergency maneuvers are included as a guide to how emergencies should be
handled. Each situation will vary, but these profiles should be used to the extent possible.

REJECTED TAKEOFF
Rejected Takeoff
This is the critical phase of flight where the decision process to react to and abort a takeoff is
very important. As the aircraft accelerates, the probability of success from a rejected takeoff
decreases rapidly. At the point of any significant abnormality (engine failure, blown tire, etc...)
the aircraft will generally continue to accelerate until positive action is taken.
During the takeoff roll, either pilot may see a need to abort the takeoff prior to decision speed.
The takeoff brief should include the abort procedures detailed in the normal procedures
section for takeoff brief. If either pilot notices an event that constitutes a takeoff abort, that
pilot will call out, Abort, Abort, Abort. The PF will immediately initiate the abort by pulling
the power levers back to flight idle and apply maximum braking using reverse thrust as needed
while maintaining directional control.
The PM will notify ATC or local traffic of the abort. In the event an evacuation becomes
necessary, it is best to stop the aircraft on the centerline of the runway, if practical. This allows
emergency vehicles and personnel the best access to the aircraft. While it may seem courteous
to exit the runway for other traffic, the level of risk to you increases dramatically every second
you wait to evacuate the aircraft.
If an evacuation is not necessary, exit the runway and perform the AFTER LANDING procedure.
If another takeoff is to be attempted, perform the BEFORE TAKEOFF procedure again.
Notify the Chief Pilot of all aborts, including date, location, and reason. All aborts at controlled
fields generate a notice to the local FSDO in the United States and may lead to further inquiries
by the FAA. It is always best to be proactive and head off all future inquiries at the first point of
contact, namely the Chief Pilot.

ENGINE FAILURE AFTER TAKEOFF FLAPS UP AND FLAPS APPROACH.


Engine Failure after liftoff Flaps Approach
If no problems are noted during the takeoff roll and decision speed is reached, the aircraft has
now moved from one known realm into another known realm, which is that of flight. Any
problems will now be dealt with in the air. This is where the pre briefed acceleration altitude
comes into play. Should an engine fail or after decision speed with flaps at the approach
setting, max power should be set, directional control maintained, landing gear selected up, and
pitch maintained to achieve 105 knots. 105 knots is VXSE . If using Autofeather, do not retard
the power levers until the propeller has feathered. If Autofeather is inoperative, the PF will
identify, Verify, and Feather the inoperative engine propeller. This configuration with the
inoperative engine propeller feathered will give you the best angle of climb to make it to your
acceleration altitude. At the acceleration altitude the PM will call acceleration altitude. The
PF will reduce pitch to maintain level and accelerate to blue line. At blue line, standard callouts
will be made to raise the flaps. Continue your climb as needed at Blue Line after flaps are
retracted. Complete the engine failure checklist to secure the inoperative engine, complete the
climb checklist and contact ATC as appropriate. (Refer to figure 6-2)
Note:
If a fire handle or chip detector light illuminates immediately after liftoff,
continue climb to a minimum safe altitude prior to addressing the emergency
Engine Failure after liftoff Flaps Up
Should an engine fail or after decision speed with flaps UP, max power should be set,
directional control maintained, landing gear selected up, and pitch maintained to accelerate to
Blue Line or VYSE. The advantage of departing with flaps up is that the rotation speeds are much
closer to VYSE. If using Autofeather, do not retard the power levers until the propeller has
feathered. If Autofeather is inoperative, the PF will Identify, Verify, and Feather the inoperative
engine propeller. This configuration with the inoperative engine propeller feathered will give
you the best rate of climb to make it to your acceleration altitude. At the acceleration altitude
you are already at the appropriate speed for your altitude so there is no need to pitch to level
for acceleration. The standard callout for acceleration altitude, however, must be used.
Continue your climb as needed at Blue Line. Complete the engine failure checklist to secure the
inoperative engine, complete the climb checklist and contact ATC as appropriate.

SINGLE ENGINE APPROACHES


Single engine approach procedures are identical to normal approach procedures except for a
few differences. The following section discusses those differences.
Differences
Any time you are single engine, the prop lever on the running engine must be set to full
increase. This will give you the maximum amount of power available for that engine. No more
than 40% flap usage will be used on any single engine approach. The reason for this is in the
event of a go around minimal drag will be present. If a single engine go around needs to be
accomplished, set max power and pitch for Blue Line.
Hand flying the approach while single engine is preferred. Use of the Flight Director is advised
to aid you in task management while flying the single engine approach. If a single engine go
around needs to be accomplished, set max power and pitch for Blue Line.
Profiles for each single engine approach appear below.

Chapter 5: Flight Training Maneuvers


The maneuvers outlined in this chapter are for use in FLIGHT TRAINING ONLY. These
maneuvers are not authorized in aircraft outside of company approved flight training events. All
VFR maneuvers will be performed at 5,000 AGL or above and all full engine shutdowns will be
performed at 7,000 AGL or above. Any departure from these limitations must be cleared
through the chief pilot or VP of flight operations.

STEEP TURNS
Upon reaching the appropriate altitude, the aircraft will be in a clean configuration with props
set to 1900 RPM and maintaining an airspeed of 150 knots. The heading bug should be used
for heading reference to complete the turn if available. Rolling through 30o of bank add
approximately 5-10% torque. Keep focused on the horizon directly in front of the pilots field of
view. This will eliminate climbing or descending due to visual illusions of the glareshield.
Call out 30o prior to rollout heading. As you roll out of the turn, decrease the power and release
the back pressure that was held during the turn.

and entry airspeed of VREF + 10 knots. The power will be brought back toward flight idle as
altitude is maintained. At the first sign of the stall, the Pilot Flying will recover by doing the
following:
Power up place the power levers at the 12 oclock position initially. This will get you a
good starting point without over torqueing the engines.

Oil pressure between 60 and 85 p i g should be
tolerated only for the completion of the flight at power
setting not to exceed 49% torque. Oil pressures below
60 psig are unsafe and require that either the engine
be shut down or a landing be made as soon as
possible, using the minimum power required to sustain
flight. Dunng extremely cold starts, oil pressure may
reach 200 psi.

MINIMUM OIL T E M P E R A N R E REQUIRED FOR W G W


Engine oil is used to heat the tuel on entering the fuel ccintrol. Sinca no temperature measurement is available
for the fuel at this point, it must be assumed to be the same as the OAT. The graph below is supplied for use as
a guide in preflight planning, based on known or forecast operating conditions, to allow the operator to -me
aware of operating temperatures where idng a! the fuel mrrtrol could occur. If the plot should indicate that oil
temperatures versus OAT are such that ica formation muld occur during take-off or in flight, anti-icing additive
per MIL-1-27686 should be mixed with the fuel at refueling to ensure safe operation.

Anti-icing additive must be property blended wrth the fuel to avoid deterioration
of the fuel cell. The additive concentration by volume shall be a minimum of
.060% and a maximum of .IS%.

JP4 fuel per MIL-f-5624 has anti-iang additive per MIL-1-27686 blended in the
fuel at the refinery and no further treatment is necessary. Some fuel suppliers
blend anti-icing additive in their storage tanks. Prior to refueling, check with the
fuel supplier to determine if fuel has been blended. TO assure proper
concentration by volume of fuel on b a r d , blend only enough additive for the
unblended fuel.

FUEL

mainteined to assure continued airworthiness. If deviations from the installed equiprent were no: permitted, or
if the operating rules did no: provide for various flight conditions, the airplane could not be flown unless a!;
equipment was operable. With appropriate limitations, the operaticn of every system or component installed in
the airplane is not necessary, when the remaining operative instruments and equipment provide for continued
safe operation. Operation in accordance with limitations es!abiished to maintain airworthiness, can permi:
continued or uninterrupted operation of the airplane.

the Limitations Section of the AFM. This may be accomplished by inserting a copy of t h ~ sAD i n
the AFM.
"Warning
Severe icing may result from environmental conditions outside of those for which the airplane
is certificated. Flight in freezing rain, freezing drizzle, or mixed icing conditions (supercooled
liquid water and ice crystals) may result in ice build-up on protected surfaces exceeding the
capability of the ice protection system, or may result in ice forming aft of the protected surfaces.
This ice may not be shed using the ice protection systems, and may seriously degrade the
performance and controllability of the airplane.
* During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed those for which the airplane is certificated
shall be determined by the following visual cues. If one or more of these visual cues exists,
immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic Control to facilitate a route or an altitude
change to exit the icing conditions.
--Unusually extensive ice accumulation on the airframe and windshield in areas not normally
observed to collect ice.
--Accumulation of ice on the upper surface of the wing, aft of the protected area.
--Accumulation of ice on the engine nacelles and propelles spinners farther aft than nosmally
observed.

* Since the autopilot, when installed and operating, may mask tactile cues that indicate adverse
changes in handling characteristics, use of the autopilot is prohibited when any of the visual cues
specified above exist, or when unusual lateral trim requirements or autopilot trim warnings are
encountered while the airplane is in icing conditions.
* All wing icing inspection lights must be operative prior to flight into known or fosecast icing
conditions at night. [NOTE: This supersedes any relief provided by the Master Minimum
Equipment List (MMEL).]"

(1) Revise the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) by incorporating the following into the Limitations Section
oC AFM. This may be accomplished by inserting a copy of this AD in the AFM.
"WARNING
Severe icing may result from environmental conditions outside of those for which the airplane is certificated. Flight in
freezing rain, freezing drizzle, or mixed icing conditions (supercooled liquid water and ice crystals) may result in ice
build-up on protected surfaces exceeding the capability of the ice protection system, or may result in ice forming aft of the
protected surfaces. This ice may not be shed using the ice protection systems, and may seriously degrade the performance
and controllability of the airplane.
0 During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed those for which the airplane is certificated shall be determined by the
following visual cues. If one or more of these visual cues exists, immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic
Control to facilitate a route or an altitude change to exit the icing conditions.
- Unusually extensive ice accumulation on the airframe and windshield in areas not normally observed to collect ice.
- Accumulation of ice on the upper surface of the wing, aft of the protected area.

Accumulation of ice on the engine nacelles and propeller spinners farther aft than normally observed.
0 Since the autopilot, when installed and operating, may mask tactile cues that indicate adverse changes in handling
characteristics, use of the autopilot is prohibited when any of the visual cues specified above exist, or when unusual lateral
trim requirements or autopilot trim warnings are encountered while the airplane is in icing conditions.
0 All wing icing inspection lights must be operative prior to flight into known or forecast icing conditions at night.
[NOTE: This supersedes any relief provided by the Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL).]"
-

(2, ,evise the FAA-approved AFM by incorporating the following into the Normal Procedures Section of the AFM. This
may be accomplished by inserting a copy of this AD in the AFM.
"THE FOLLOWING WEATHER CONDITIONS MAY BE CONDUCIVE TO SEVERE IN-FLIGHT ICING:
0 Visible rain at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius ambient air temperature.
Droplets that splash or splatter on impact at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius ambient air temperature.
PROCEDURES FOR EXITING THE SEVERE ICING ENVIRONMENT:
These procedures are applicable to all flight phases from takeoff to landing. Monitor the ambient air temperature. While
severe icing may form at temperatures as cold as - 18 degrees Celsius, increased vigilance is warranted at temperatures
around freezing with visible moisture present. If the visual cues specified in the Limitations Section of the AFM for
identifying severe icing conditions are observed, accomplish the following:
0 Immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic Control to facilitate a route or an altitude change to exit the
severe icing conditions in order to avoid extended exposure to flight conditions more severe than those for which the
airplane has been certificated.
Avoid abrupt and excessive maneuvering that may exacerbate control difficulties.
Do not engage the autopilot.
0 If the autopilot is engaged, hold the control wheel firmly and disengage the autopilot.
If an unusual roll response or uncommanded roll control movement is observed, reduce the angle-of-attack.
s Do not extend flaps when holding in icing conditions. Operation with flaps extended can result in a reduced wing
angle-of-attack, with the possibility of ice forming on the upper surface f~lrtheraft on the wing than normal, possibly aft
of
protected area.
.he flaps are extended, do not retract them urnti1 the airframe is clear of ice.
0 Report these weather conditions to Air Traffic Control."

COMMEMS P E W I N E M T O THE USE O F PEflFORMANCE GRAPHS:


1. The example, in addition to presenting an a m e r for a particular set of conditions, also presents the
order in which the graphs should normally b e used, i.e., if the first item in the exampie is OAT, then enter

the graph at the known OAT.


2. The reference lines indicate where to begin following cuidelines. Always project to the reference line first,

then follow the guidelines to the next known item.


3. Indicated airspeeds (IAS) were obtained by using the AIRSPEED CALIBRATION-NORMAL SYSTEM.
The AIRSPEED CALIBRATION-NORMAL SYSTEM TAKE-OFF GiiOUNO ROLL is u s e d for rotanon
speeds.
4. The v s o c i a t e d conditions define the spx5iic conditions from which pehorrnance parameters have k

determined. They are not intended to be ie as i n s m c i o n s .


5. The full amount of usable fuei is available for all approved flight mnditions.
6. Notes have been provided to approximate performance with ice vanes extended. The effect is estimat&
by entering the graph at a ternwrure higher t h a the achlal tempemure. The e f f e c is approximate and
will vary depending upon airspeed, temperature, altitude and ambient unditions. Existing TGT and
t o q u e limits still apply.

7. Operdtions with ice v a n e s extended should be a n d u c e d only when the t e r n p e r m r e is below


and flight fres of visible moisium a n c t be assured.

NOTE
The 1979 Model Year began with airplane serials 88-310, 88-343, 88-383,
BB-415, 88-416, BB-418 thru BB-448, 88-450 and after.

WEIGHING INSTRUCTIONS
Periodic weighing of the airplane may be required to keep the Basic Empty Weight current. Frequency of
weighing is to be determined by the operator. All changes to the airplane affecting weight andlor balance are
the responsibility of the airplane operator.
Airplane may be weighed on wheels or jack points. Three jack points are provided: one on the nose
section of the fuselage at station 83.5, and one on each wing center section rear spar at station 225.5.
Wheel reaction locations should be measured as described in paragraph 6 below.
Fuel should be drained preparatory to weighing. Tanks are drained from the regular drain ports with the
airplane in static ground attitude. When tanks are drained, 10.5 pounds of unusable fuel remains in the
airplane at an arm of 188.0 inches. The remainder of the unusable fuel to be added to a drained system is
33.5 pounds at station 164.0. If the airplane is weighed with full fuel the fuel specific weight (poundsigallon) should be determined by using a hydrometer. Compute total fuel weight and moment using fuel
tables.
Engine oil must be at the full level in each tank. Total engine oil aboard when both tanks are full is 62
pounds at an arm of 131.0 inches.
To determine airplane configuration at time of weighing, installed equipment IS checked against the
airplane equipment list or superseding forms. All equipment must be in its proper place during weighing.
The airplane is placed on the scales in level attitude Leveling screws are located on the fuselage
entrance door frame. Leveling is accomplished with a plumb bob. Jack pad leveling may require the nose
gear shock to be secured in the static position to prevent its extension. Wheel weighings can be leveled
by varying the amounts of air in the shocks and tires.
Measurement of the reaction arms for a wheel weighing is made using the nose jacking point for a
reference. Using a steel measuring tape, measurements are taken with the airplane level on the scales
from the reference (a plumb bob hung from the center of the nose jacking point) to the axle center line of
the nose gear and then from the nose gear axle center line to the main wheel axle center line. The main
wheel axle center line is best located by stretching a string across from one main wheel to the other. All
measurements are to be taken with the tape level with the hangar floor and parallel to the fuselage center
line. The locations of the wheel reactions will be approximately at an arm of 209 inches for main wheels
and 30 inches for the nose wheel.
The Basic Empty Weight and Moment are determined from the scale readings. Items weighed which are
not part of the empty airplane are subtracted, i.e., usable fuel. Unusable fuel and engine oil are added if
not already in the airplane.
Weighing should always be made in an enclosed area which is free from air currents. The scales used
should be properly calibrated and certified in accordance with the Bureau of Standards

LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
It is the responsibihty of the airplane operator to ensure that the airplane is properly loaded. At the time of
delivery, Beech Aircraft Corporation provides the necessary weight and balance data to compute individual
loadings. All subsequent changes in airplane weight and balance are the responsibility of the airplane owner
and/or operator
The basic empty weight and moment of the airplane at the time of delivery are shown on the Basic Empty
Weight and Balance form. Useful load items w h ~ c hmay be loaded into the airplane are shown on the Useful
Load Weight and Moment tables. The minimum and maximum moments approved by the FAA are shown on
the Moment Limits vs Weight graph or table. These moments correspond to the forward and aft center of
gravity flight limits (landing gear down) for a particular weight. All moments are divided by 100 to simplify
computations

COMPUTING PROCEDURE
1.

Record the basic empty weight and moment from the Basic Empty Weight and Balance form (or from the
latest superseding forms). The moment must be divided by 100 to correspond to Useful Load Moments.

Record the we~ghtand corresponding moment of each Item to be carried These values are found on the
Useful Load Weight and Moment tables.

Total the we~ghtcolumn and moment column The total we~ghtw~thoutusable fuel must not exceed the
Max~mumZero Fuel We~ghtlim~tat~on

amount on board at takeoff

For landmg conflgurat~onwe~ghtand balance subtract the we~ghtand moment of fuel to be used from
the take-off weight and moment The landmg moment must be with~nthe mlnlmum and maximum
moments shown on We~ghtand Moment L~mitstable for that weight If the total moment IS less than the
mlnlmum moment allowed, useful load Items must be shifted aft, or forward load Items reduced If the
total moment is greater than the maxlmum moment allowed, useful load items must be sh~ftedforward,
or aft load Items reduced If the quant~tyor locatlon of load items IS changed, the calculat~onsmust be
revlsed and the moments rechecked

COMMENTS PERTINENT TO THE USE OF CRUISE GRAPHS AND TABLES


1

The notes pertaming to the operation with Ice vanes extended on the crulse graphs and tables have been developed
assuming flight at high altitudes and TAS The effect of ice vane extension at lower altltudes, where operation is possible on
the torque I l m ~ lwill
, be less depending on how much power can be recovered after vanes are extended

2. The effect of extending the ice vanes assumes that power has been reduced so as to achieve the TGT which existed prior to
extension. Depending on the condition of the engines, these effects could be reduced by allowing TGT to increase. TGT
limits, however, must be observed.

PROPULSION SYSTEMS
ENGINE
The PT6A-38 engine has a three stage axial, single stage
centrifugal compressor, driven by a single stage reaction
turbine. The power turbine, a two stage reaction turbine,
counter-rotating with the compressor turbine, drives the
output shaft. Both the compressor turbine and the power
turbine are located in the approximate center of the engine
with their shafts extending in opposite directions. Being a
reverse flow engine, the ram air supply enters the lower
portion of the nacelle and is drawn in through the aft
protective screens. The air is then routed into the
compressor. After it is compressed, it is forced into the
annular combustion chamber, and mixed with fuel that is
sprayed in through 14 nozzles mounted around the gas
generator case. A capacitance discharge ignition unit and
two spark igniter plugs are used to start combustion. After
combustion, the exhaust passes through the compressor
turbine and two stages of power turbine and is routed through
two exhaust ports near the front of the engine. A pneumatic
fuel control system schedules fuel flow to maintain the power
set by the gas generator power lever. Propeller speed within
the governing range remains constant at any selected
propeller control lever position through the action of a
propeller governor, except in the beta range where the
maximum propeller speed is controlled by the pneumatic
section of the propeller governor.
The accessory drive at the aft end of the engine provides
power to drive the fuel pumps, fuel control, the oil pumps, the
refrigerant compressor (right engine), the starterlgenerator,
EXHAUST

and the tachometer transmitter. At this point, the speed of the


drive (N1 is the true speed of the compressor stde of the
engine, 37,500 rpm (which corresponds to 100% N,).
Maximum continuous speed of the engine is 38,100 rprn,
which equals 101.5% N1, with a:transient overspeed of
38,500 rpm, which equals 102.6 N 1 .
The reduction gearbox forward of the powerturbine provides
gearing for the propeller and drives the propeller tachometer
transmitter, the propeller overspeed governor, and the
propeller governor. Prior to gear reduction, the turbine speed
on. the power side of the engine is 30,000 rprn at 2000
propeller rpm.
Propeller torque value IS measured by a hydro-mechanical
device located inside the first stage reduction gear housing to
provide an accurate indication of engine power output. The
mechanism consists of a torquemeter cylinder, a piston,
valve plunger and spring. Rotation of the first stage ring gear
in the reduction gearbox is resisted by the helical splines
which impart an axial movement to the ring gear and
therefore to the torquemeter piston. A torquemeter valve
regulates the input of engine oil into the torque cylinder to
stabilize the piston position. The pressure created in the
torque cylinder is plumbed to the torquemeter transminer to
give a relative reading of torque.
Deceleration on the ground is achieved by bringing t k
propeller blades through the Beta range into a reversing pitch
by utilizing the pitch change mechanism. The power levers
must be retarded below the IDLE position by raising them
over a detent. Reversing power is available in direct
proportion to the retarding of the levers in the reversing
range.

IGNITION
The battery master switch and security keylock switch (Army
only) must be on before attempting to start the engine.
Number 1 and 2 engines are started by separate, three
position switches located on the overhead control panel,
placarded IGNITION AND ENGINE START - STARTER
ONLY - OFF - ON. Each switch may be moved aft to the
STARTER ONLY position to motor the engine for the
purpose of clearing it of fuel without the ignition circuit on.
The switch is spring loaded and will return to the center OFF
position when released. Moving the switch forward to the ON
position activates both the starter and ignition, causing the
appropriate IGN ON light on the annunciator to illuminate.
When engine speed has accelerated through 50% N1 or
above on starting, the switch must be manually placed in the
center OFF position to stop the starter drive action.

AUTO IGNITION
The auto ignition system provides automat~c ignition to
prevent engine loss due to combustion failure. This system is
provided to ensure ignition during take-off, landing,
turbulence, and penetration of icing or precipitation
conditions. The practice of arming the system prior to take-off
and turning the system off after landing is recommended to
assure the system being armed in the required condit~on.To
arm the system, move the switches, placarded ENG AUTO
IGN, located on the overhead control panel, to ARM. If for
any reason the engine torque falls below 20 percent, the
igniter will automatically energize and the appropriate IGN
ON light on the cautioniadvisory annunciator panel will
illuminate. For extended ground operation, the system
should be turned off (aft position) to prolong the life of the
igniter units.

the power levers, propeller levers, and condition levers. The


power levers serve to control engine power. The condition
levers control the flow of fuel at the fuel control outlet and
select fuel cut off, low idle and high idle functions. The
propeller levers are operated conventionally and control the
constant speed propellers through the primary governor.

POWER LEVERS
The power levers provide control of engine power from idle
through take-off power by operation of the gas generator
(N,) governor in the fuel control unit. Increasing N1 rprn
results in increased engine power.

PROPELLER LEVERS
Each propeller lever operates a speeder sprlng inside the
primary governor to reposition the pilot valve, w h c h results II?
an increase or decrease of propeller rpm. For propeller
feathering, each propeller lever manually lifts the pilot valve
to a position which causes complete dumping of high
pressure 011. ,3etents at the rear of lever trave! prevent
inadvertent movement into the feather~ngrange. Operatmg
range is 1600 to 2000 rpm.

CONDITION LEVERS
The cond~tlonlevers have three p o s ~ t ~ o nFUEL
s
CUTOFF
LOW IDLE and HlGH IDLE Each lever controls the ~ d l ecut
off funct~onof the fuel control unit and I m t s Idle speed at
52% N1 for low idle, and 70% N1 for hlgh idle

PROPELLER REVERSING
When the power levers are lifted over the IDLE detent, they
control engine power through the Beta and reverse ranges.

CAUTION
FUEL CONTROL
The basic engine fuel system conzists of an engine driven
fuel pump, a fuel control unit, a fuel flow divider, a dual fuel
manifold and fourteen fuel nozzles. The fuel flow divider acts
as a drain valve to clear residual fuel after engine shutdown.
The engine fuel control unit supplies information to the engine fuel control system. This fuel control unit is a hydromechanical computing and meterlng device wh~chdetermines the proper fuel qchedule for the engine to provide the
power required, as established by the position of the power
levers. This is accomplisheci by controlling the speed of the
compressor turbine.

PROPULSION SYSTEM CONTROLS


The propulsion system is operated by three sets of controls;

Propeller reversing on unimproved surfaces


should be accomplished carefully to prevent
propeller erosion from reversed airflow and, in
dusty conditions, to prevent obscuring the
operator's vision.

Condition levers, when set at HlGH IDLE, keep the engines


operating at 70% N1 high idle speed for maximum reversing
performance.

Power levers should not be moved into the


reversing position when the engines are not
running because the reversing system will be
damaged.

ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION
The engine instruments are located near the center portion of
the instrument panel to provide easy viewing by both pilots.
Designed for quick scan and uniform indication during normal
cruise flight, the instruments are arranged in two vertical
columns which correspond to the number one and number
two engine.
The torquemeters give an indication of the amount of torque
(read in percent) being applied to the propeller. Transient
torque of 110/~ is limited to 5 seconds. Refer to the UACL
Maintenance Manual for overtorque procedures.
The propeller tachometer is read directly in revolutions per
minute.
The turbine gas temperature (TGT) gives an instantaneous
reading of engine gas temperature between the compressor
turbine and the power turbines.
The N1 or turbine tachometer is read in percent of rpm.
based on a figure of 37.500 rpm at 10046. Maximum
continuous gas generator speed is lim~tedto 38,100 rpm or
101.596 N1.
The fuel flow indrcator

IS

read directly In pounds per hour

Whenever a fault occurs that requires the pilot's attention but


not immediate reaction, master fault caution lights in the
glareshield will illuminate. The master fault caution lights may
be extinguished by pressing the face of the lens to reset the
circuit. At the same time the glareshield master fault caution
light illuminates, the apprpriate fault light will illuminate on the
cautioniadvisory panel. The fault light on the caution/advisory
panel will not extinguish until the fault has been corrected.
The caution indications are arranged on the top portion of the
caution/advisory annunciator panel.
The advisory indications are arranged on the bottom portion
of the caution/advisory annunciator panel. There is no fault
warning light associated with the advisory functions. The
advisory lights are to indicate a functional situation.

ANNUNCIATOR SYSTEM
The annunciator system consists of a warning annunciator
panel (with red readout) located on the pilot's instrument
panel, and a cautionladvisory annunciator panel (caution yellow, Advisory - Green) located on the center subpanel.
Mounted on the glareshield, directly in front of the pilot, is a
yellow master fault caution light. A red master fault warning
light and a yellow master fault caution light are mounted ~n
the glareshield on the copilot's side.
Individual function lights are of the word readout type. In the
event of a fault, a signal is generated and applied to the
respective channel in the appropriate annunciator panel. If
the fault requires the immediate attention of the pilot, the
master fault warning light on the right side of the glareshleld
will illuminate. The master fault warning light may be
extinguished by pressing the face of the light to reset the
c~rcuit. The illuminated fault indication on the warning
annunciator panel will remain on if the fault is not, or cannot
be, corrected. If an additional fault occurs, the appropriate
hght on the annunciator panel will illuminate and the master
fault warning light will again illuminate.

flight instrument lights switch is OFF.

ENGINE LUBRICATION

Engine oil, conta~ned~nan integral tank between the engine


arr intake and the accessory case, cools as well as lubricates
the engine. An 011 radiator located ins~dethe lower nacelle.
keeps the englne oil temperature with~nthe operatrng limits.
A thermal element is used to regulate 011flow through the

A magnetic chip detector is installed in the bottom of each
engine nose gearbox. This detector will activate a red light on
the annunciator panel, # I CHlP DETR or #2 CHlP DETR, to
alert the pilot of oil contamination indicating possible or pending engine failure.

Each pneumatic fuel control line is protected against ice by


an electrically heated jacket. Power is supplied to each fuel
control air line jacket heater by two switches actuated by
moving the condition levers in the pedestal out of the fuel
cutoff range. Fuel control heat is automatically turned on for
all engine operations.

ENGINE AIR INLET

ENGINE ICE PROTECTION


FUEL
An oil-to-fuel heat exchanger, located on the engine accessory case, operates continuously and automatically to heat
the fuel sufficiently to prevent ice from collecting in the fuel
control unit.

Engine exhaust heat is utilized for heating the engine air inlet
lips. Hot exhaust IS picked up by a scoop inside each englne
exhaust stack and plumbed downward to connect into each
end of the inlet lip. Exhaust flows through the inside of the lip
downward to the bottom where it is plumbed out through the
bottom of the nacelle. No shut-off or temperature indicator is
necessary for this system.

ICE VANES (INERTIAL SEPARA TOR SYSTEM)


An inertial separation system is built into each engine air inlet
to prevent moisture particles from entering the engine inlet
plenum under icing conditions. A movable vane and a bypass door are lowered into the airstream when operating in
visible moisture at + 5C or colder, by energizing electrical
REactuators with the switches, placarded ICE VANE
TRACT - EXTEND, located on the overhead control panel. A
mechanical backup system is provided, and is actuated by
pulling the T-handles just below the pilot's subpanel
placarded ICE VANE #1 ENG #2 ENG. Decrease airspeed to 160 knots or less to reduce forces for manual extension. Normal airspeed may then be resumed.

The vane deflects the ram airstream slightly downward to


introduce a sudden turn in the airstream to the engine, causing the moisture particles to continue on undeflected, because of their greater momentum, and to be discharged
overboard.
While in the icing flight mode. the extended position of the
vane and by-pass door is indicated by green annunciator
lights, #1 VANE EXT and # 2 VANE EXT.
In the non-ice protection mode, the vane and by-pass door
are retracted out of the airstream by placing the ice vane
switches in the RETRACT position. The green annunciator
lights will extinguish. Retraction should be accomplished at
+ 15'C and above to assure adequate oil cooling. The vanes
should be either extended or retracted; there are no intermediate positions.
If for any reason the vane does not attain the selected position within 15 seconds, a yellow # 1 VANE FAlL or #2 VANE
FAlL light illuminates on the caution/advisory panel. In this
event, the manual backup system should be used. When the
vane is successfully positioned with the manual system, the
yellow annunciator lights will extinguish. Refer to the Ser~icing section for resetting the vane actuator linkage after a
manual extension.

PROPELLER SYSTEM
REVERSING PROPELLER

The Hartzell propeller is of the full feathering, constant


speed, counter-weighted, reversing type, controlled by engine oil pressure through single action, engine driven propeller governors. The propeller is three bladed and flange
mounted to the engine shaft. Centrifugal counterweights.
assisted by a feathering spring, move the blades toward the
low rpm (high pitch) position and into the feathered position.
Governor boosted engine oil pressure moves the propeller to
the high rprn (low pitch) hydraulic stop and reverse position.
The propellers have no low rpm (high pitch) stops; this allows
the blades to feather after engine shutdown.

PRIMARY LOW PITCH STOP


Low pitch propeller position is determined by the low pitch
stop which is a mechanically actuated, hydraulic stop. Beta
and reverse blade angles are controlled by the power levers
in the Beta and reverse range.

PROPELLER GOVERNORS
Two governors, a constant speed governor, and an overspeed governor, control the. propeller rpm. The constant
speed governor, mounted on top of the reduction housing,
controls the propeller through its entire range. The propeller
control lever operates the propeller by means of this governor. If the constant speed governor should malfunction and
request more than 2000 rpm, the overspeed governor cuts in
at 2080 rpm and dumps oil from the propeller to keep the rpm
from exceeding approximaLely 2080 rpm. A solenoid, actuated by the PROP GOV TEST switch located on the overhead control panel, is provided for resetting the overspeed
governor to approximately 1830 to 1910 rpm for test purposes.
If the propeller sticks or moves too slowly during a transient
condition causing the propeller governor to act too slowly to
prevent an overspeed condition, the power turbine governor,
contained within the constant speed governor housing, acts
as a fuel topping governor. When the propeller reaches 2120
rpm, the fuel topping governor limits the fuel flow to the gas
generator, reducing N1 rpm, which in turn prevents the propeller rpm from exceeding approximately 2200 rpm. During
operation in the reverse range, the power turbine governor is
reset to approximately 95% propeller rpm before the propeller reaches a negative pitch angle. This ensures that the
engine power is limited to maintain a propeller rpm somewhat
less than that of the constant speed governor setting. The
constant speed governor therefore, will always sense an
underspeed condition and direct oil pressure to the propeller
servo piston to permit propeller operation in Beta and reverse
ranges.

FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system consists of two separate systems connected
by a valve-controlled crossfeed line. Each system consists of
a nacelle tank, two wing leading edge tanks, two box section
bladder tanks, and an integral (wet cell) tank, all interconnected to flow into the nacelle tank by gravity. This system of
tanks is filled from the filler located near the wing tip.
The auxiliary fuel system, installed on some airplanes, consists of a center section tank with its own filler opening and an
automatic fuel transfer system to transfer the fuel into the
main system.
When the auxiliary tanks are filled, they will be used first.
During transfer of auxiliary fuel, which is automatically controlled, the nacelle tanks are maintained full. A swing check
valve in the gravity feed line from the outboard wing prevents
reverse fuel flow. Upon exhaustion of the auxiliary fuel, normal gravity transfer of the main wing fuel into the nacelle
tanks will begin.
An anti-siphon valve is installed at each filler port which
prevents loss of fuel or collapse of a fuel cell bladder in the
event of improper securing or loss of the filler cap.
Each fuel system is vented through two ram vents located on
the underside of the wmg adjacent to the nacelle. To prevent
icmg of the vent system, one vent is recessed into the wing
and the backup vent protrudes out from the w~ngand contams a heatmg element. The vent line at the nacelle contains
an inline flame arrestor.
All fuel is filtered with firewall-mounted 20 micron filter. These
filters incorporate an internal bypass which opens to permit
uninterrupted fuel supply to the engine in the event of filter
icing or blockage. In addition, a screen strainer is located at
each tank outlet before the fuel reaches the boost pump.
Integral strainers protect the main engine driven fuel pump
and the fuel drain collector pump.
Provisions for a fuselage mounted extended range fuel system are included in the system. These provisions consists of
manually operated shutoff valves in each wheel well, a fuel
drain and fuel lines which are routed from each wing gravity
feed line into the fuselage. The fuel connections in the fuselage are capped off when not in use. The fuel drain, located
on the underside of the wing center section adjacent to the
fuselage, should be drained after each use of the extended
range system.

FUEL PUMPS
The engine driven fuel pump (high pressure) is mounted on
the accessory case in conjunction with the fuel control unit.
Failure of this pump results in an immediate flameout. The
primary boos: pump (low pressure) is also engine driven and
is mounted on a drive pad on the aft accessory section of the
engine. This pump operates when the gas generator (N1) is
turning and provides sufficient fuel pressure to prevent cavi-

except operatat~ondur~ngstart, takeoff, all fl~ghtcond~t~ons


t ~ o nw~thhot avlat~ongasoline above 20.000 feet alt~tude,and
operation wlth crossfeed.
An electrically driven standby boost pum6 (low pressure)
located in the bottom of each nacelle tank performs three
functions; it is a backup pump for use in the event of a
primary fuel boost pump failure, it is for use with hot aviation
gasoline above 20,000 feet, and it is used during crossfeed
operations. In the event of an inoperative standby pump,
crossfeed can only be accomplished from the side of the
operative pump.
Electrical power to operate the'standby boost pumps is controlled by toggle switches, placarded STANDBY PUMP ON,
located on the overhead fuel control panel and is supplied
power from two independent sources. One source of power
for either the 1 or 2 standby pump is provided through the
number 1 or number 2 feeder buses and is protected by a
10-ampere circuit breaker located on the overhead circuit
breaker panel. This power is only available when the master
switch is turned on. Another source of power comes directly
from the banery through the hot battery bus and is protected
by dual 5-ampere circuit breakers located in the rlght wlng
center section. The circuit breaker panel may be serviced
through the access plate on the underside of the wing. outboard of the battery. This power source makes power available for the pumps at all times. regardless of the battery
master switch position. These circuits are protected by
diodes to prevent the failure of one circuit from disabling the
other circuit. During shutdown, make certain both standby
pump switches are off to prevent banery discharge.

Each standby fuel pump has an inertia switch included in the


power supply circuit. When subjected to a 5 to 6 G shock
loading, as in a crash situation, the inertia switch will remove
electrical power from the standby fuel pump.
In the event of a primary boost pump failure, the respective
red FUEL PRESS light in the warning annunciator panel w~ll
illuminate. This light illuminates when pressure decreases
below 9 to 11 psi. The light will be extinguished by switching
on the standby fuel pump on that side, thus increasing pressure above 9 to 11 psi.

Engine driven fuel pump operation without either


the engine driven boost pump or a standby pump
supplying fuel under pressure to the pump
(FUEL PRESS light on) is limited to 10 hours.
The pilot should record unboosted engine driven
fuel pump operation.

When using aviation gasoline, during climbs above 20,000


feet, the first indication of insufficient fuel pressure will be an
intermittent flicker of the FUEL PRESS lights. A wide fluctuation of the fuel flow indicator may also be noted. These

conditions can be eliminated by turning on a standby pump.


An electrically driven fuel drain collector pump is located
below the aft engine accessory section in each nacelle. This
pump provides the automatic transfer of accumulated fuel,
dumped from the engine during start and shutdown, back to
the nacelle tank.
.

AUXILIARY FUEL TRANSFER SYSTEM (IF INSTAL LED). .


The auxiliary tank fuel transfer system automatically transfers the fuel from the auxiliary tank to the nacelle tank without
pilot action. Motive flow to a jet pump mounted in the.auxiliary
tank sump is obtained from the engine fuel plumbing system
downstream from the engine driven boost pump and routed
through the transfer control motive flow valve. The motive
flow valve is energized to the openposition by the control
system to transfer auxiliary fuel to the nacelle tank to be
consumed by the engine during the initial portion of the flight.
When an engine is started, pressure at the engine driven
boost pump closes a pressure switch which, after a 30 to 50
second time delay to avoid depletion of fuel pressure during
starting, energizes the motive flow valve. When auxiliary fuel
is depleted, a low level float switch de-energizes the motive
flow valve after a 30 to 60 second time delay provided to
prevent cycling of the motive flow valve due to sloshing fuel.
In the event of a failure of the motive flow valve or the
associated control circuitry, the loss of motive flow pressure
when there is still fuel remaining in the auxiliary fuel tank is
sensed by a pressure switch and float switch, respectively,
which illuminates a light placarded #1 or #2 NO FUEL XFR
on the annunciator panel. During engine start, the pilot
should note that the NO FUEL XFR lights extinguish 30 to 50
seconds after engine start. A manual override is incorporated
as a backup for the automatic transfer system- This is initiated by placing the AUX TRANSFER switch, located in the
fuel control panel to the OVERRIDE position.

NOTE
In turbulence or during maneuvers the No Fuel
Transfer Lights may momentarily illuminate after
the aux fuel has completed transfer.

USE OF A VIATION GASOLINE


If you find you must top off the fuel tanks with aviation
gasoline as an alternate fuel, you will need to determine how
many hours the airplane is operated on gasoline. Since the
gasoline is being mixed with the regular fuel, it is expedient to
record the number of gallons of gasoline taken aboard. A
good rule to follow for determining the number of hours of
operation on aviation gasoline is:

Each engine will consume approximately 50 gallons of fuel per hour. Divide the number of gallons of gasoline pumped into each side by 50
gallons to get the number o l hours of operation
on gasoline. Example: If 150 gallons of gasoline
are pumped into one side, divide by 50 and the
total is 3 hours. This means that the engine
should have 3 hours charged against it toward
the maximum of 150 hours between-overhaul
limit. Maintain a record of hours charged against
each engine.

NOTE
Crossfeed capability is required for operation
with aviation gasoline above 20.000 feet altitude.

CROSSFEED
During emergency single engine operation, it may become
necessary to supply fuel to the operative engine from the fuel
system on the opposite side. The simplified crossfeed system is placarded for fuel selection with a diagram on the
overhead fuel control panel. Place the standby pump
switches in the OFF position when crossfeeding. A lever lock
switch, placarded CROSSFEED, is moved from the center
OFF position to the lee or to the right, depending on direction
of fuel flow. This opens the crossfeed valve and energizes
the standby pump on the side from which crossfeed is desired. When the crossfeed mode is energized, a green FUEL
CROSSFEED light on the cautioniadvisory panel will illurnlnate.

FIRE WALL SHUTOFF


The fuel system incorporates a fuel line shutoff valve
mounted on each engine firewall. The firewall shutoff valves
close automatically when the fire extinguisher T handles on
the instrument panel are pulled out. The circuit breakers for
the firewall shutoff valves are placarded FIRE WALL VALVE
- #1 - #2, and are located in the fuel section of the overhead
circuit breaker panel. Like the boost pumps, the firewall
shutoff valves receive electrical power from the main buses
and also from the hot battery bus which is connected directly
to the battery.

FUEL ROUTING IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT


Just forward of the firewall shutoff valve is the prlmary boost
pump. From the primary boost pump, the fuel is routed to the
main fuel filter, the fuel flow indicator transmitter, through a
fuel heater that utilizes heat from the engine oil to warm the
fuel, through the engine driven fuel pump, then to the fuel
control unit. From there it is directed through the dual fuel
manifold to the fuel outlet nozzles and into the annular combustion chamber. Fuel at the engine fuel control unit is returned to the nacelle tank by a fuel purge line. Fuel dumped
from the engine during starting and shutdown operations is

accumulated and returned to the nacelle tank by the fuel


drain collector system.

FUEL DRAIN COLLECTOR SYSTEM


Each engine is provided with a fuel drain collector system to
return fuel, dumped from the engine during clearing and
shutdown operations, back into its respective nacelle tank.
The system draws power from the #4 feeder bus and fuel
transfer is completely automatic. Fuel from the engine flow
divider drains into a collector tank mounted below the aft
engine accessory section. An internal float switch actuates
an electric scavenger pump which delivers the fuel to the fuel
purge line just aft of the fuel purge shutoff valve. A check
valve in the line prevents the backflow of fuel during engine
purging. The circuit breaker for both pumps is located in the
fuel section of the overhead circuit breaker panel; placarded
SCAVENGER PUMP. A vent line, plumbed from the top of
the collector tank, is routed through an inline flame arrestor
and then downward to a drain manifold on the underside of
the nacelle.

FUEL DRAINS
During each prefhght, the fuel sumps on the tanks and filters
should be bled to check for fuel contammation A sump dra~n
wrench IS prov~dedIn the airplane loose tools to simplify
draining a small amount of fuel from the sump drain. There
are four sump drams (f~ve,if aux~liarysystem installed) and
one f~lterdrain in each wmg They are located as follows

An additional drain for the extended range fuel system line


extends through the bottom of the wing center section adjacent to the fuselage. Anytime the extended range system is
in use, a part of the preflight inspection would consist of
draini~ga small amount of fuel from this drain to check for
fuel contarninatlon. Whenever the extended range system is
removed from the airplane and the fuel line is capped off in
the fuselage, the remaining fuel in the line must be drained.

FUEL GAGING SYSTEM


Fuel quantity in the fuel system is monitored by a capacitance fuel gaging system. Quantity is read directly in pounds.
A maximum 3% error may be encountered I n the system.
However, the system is compensated for density changes
due to temperature excursions. A graph is provided in the
CRUISE CONTROL section to allow more accurate readings
for all approved jet fuels and for aviation gasoline. If the
auxiliary fuel system is installed, a selector switch on the fuel
control panel, placarded FUEL QUANTITY MAIN - AUXILIARY, allows display of fuel level in either the main or auxiliary fuel system. There are two gages, one for each side. In
addition to the fuel gages, yellow #1 or # 2 NAC LOW lights
on the cautionladvisory annunciator panel illuminate when
there'is 20 minutes fuel remaining, based on sea level, normal cruise power consumption rates.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The airplane electrical system is a 28 VDC (nominal) system
w ~ t hthe negative lead of each power source grounded to the
main arplane structure DC electrical power is prov~dedby
one 34 ampere-hour, atr cooled, 20 cell, nickekadm~um
battery and two 250-ampere starterlgeneraors connected in
parallel. The system IS capable of supplying power to all
subsystems that are necessary for normal operation of the
airplane. A hot battery bus IS prov~dedfor emergency operation of certain essent~alequipment and the cabin entry
threshold light circuit. Power to the maln bus from the battery
is through the battery relay controlled by a security keylock
sw~tch(Army only) and a master sw~tch,placarded B A l T ON
OFF. Both are located on the overhead control panel
Power to the bus system from the generators is through
generator line contactors. The voltage regulators prevent the
generators from absorb~ngpower from the bus when the
generator voltage is less than the bus voltage by opening the
hne contactors. The generators are controlled by master
sw~tchesplacarded #1 GEN and #2 GEN located on the
overhead control panel.

Starter power to each individual starter!generator IS provided


from the main bus through a starter relay. The start cycle is
controlled by a three position switch for each starter.
placarded IGNITION AND ENGINE START, on the overhead
control panel. The starter:generator drives the compressor
section of the engine through the accessory gearing. The
starterlgenerator initially draws approximately 1100 amperes
and then drops rapidly to about 300 amperes as the engine
reaches 20% of the gas generator speed.
Power is supplied from three sources; the battery, the right
generator, and the left generator. The generator busses are
interconnected by two 325-ampere current limiters. The entire bus system operates as a single bus with power being
supplied by the battery and both generators. There are six
dual fed sub-busses. Each sub-bus is supplied power from
either generator main bus through a 50-ampere circuit breaker, a 70-ampere diode, and a 35-ampere circuit breaker. All

airplane loads are divided between these busses except as


noted on the accompanying electrical schematic. The equipment on the busses is arranged so that any items with duplicate functions, such as right and left landing lights, are connected to separate busses.
The generators are controlled by individual solid state voltage regulators which allow a constant voltage to be presented to the busses during variations in engine speed and
electrical load requirements. The load on the generators is
indicated by voltiloadmeters located in the overhead control
panel.
The generators are paralleled by utilizing the voltage developed between the "D" terminal of the generator and
ground. This terminal of each generator is connected from its
respective voltage regulator to that of the opposite generator
through the intervening voltage regulators. The paralleling
circuit also includes the paralleling relay. The field power of
the generator carrying the higher current is reduced while
that of the generator carrying the lower current is increased
until the load on each is equal. When one generator is on the
line and the other is off the line at the same voltage, the
voltage of the former is depressed and that of the latter is
increased through the paralleling circuit until both generators
are on the line. Should an overvoltage condition occur, the
paralleling circuit acts to lower the trip voltage on the overloaded generator to take the overloaded unit off the line.
leaving the other generator to supply the entire load.
Nickel-cadmium battery overheating will cause the battery
charge current to increase if thermal runaway is imminent.
The airplane has a charge current sensor which will indicate a
charge current increase. The charge current system senses
battery current through a shunt in the negative lead of the
battery. Any time the battery current charge exceeds approximately 7 amperes for 6 seconds or longer, the yellow BATTERY CHARGE annunciator light and the master fault caution light will illuminate.
Following a battery engine start, the warning light will illuminate approximately six seconds after the generator switch is
placed in the ON positim. The light will normally extinguish
within two to five minutes, indicating that the battery is approaching a full charge. The time interval will increase if the
battery has a low state of charge, the battery temperature is
very low, or if the battery has previously been discharged at a
very low rate (i.e. battery operation of radios or lights for
prolonged periods). The warning light may also illuminate for
short intervals after landing gear and/or flap operation. If the
warning light should iiiuminate during normal steady-state
cruise, it indicates that conditions exist that may cause a
battery thermal runaway. If this occurs, the battery switch
should be turned OFF and turned back ON only for gear and
flap extension and approach to landing.

A C GENERA TION
AC electrical power for the avionics and electrical systems is
provided by two solid state 400 Hz, single phase 750 VA

inverters. The inverter operation is controlled by two inverter


select switches on the overhead control panel. During normal
operation, the #Iinverter supplies 1 15 VAC and 26 VAC to
the #1 avionics and NAV systems and the left engine AC
instruments. The #2 inverter suppl&s AC power to the #2
avionics and NAV systems and the right engine AC instruments. Should either inverter fail, the total AC load i s
switched to the remaining inverter automatically unless a
ground fault exists. If an inverter should fail, an INVERTER
FAIL light in the annunciator panel will illuminate. Should the
engine instruments AC buses fail, and INST AC light in the
warning annunciator panel will illuminate.
Two volt-frequency meters are mounted in the overhead
control panel to provide monitoring capability for both 115
VAC buses. Normal display on the meter is shown in frequency (hertz). To read voltage, press the button located in
the lower left corner of the meter. Normal output of the
inverters will be indicated by 115 VAC and 400 Hz on the
meters.

SECURITY KEYLOCK SWITCH (ARMY ONLY)


The Army arrplane has a secur~tykeylock sw~tchmsialled on
the overhead control panel, placarded OFF - ON The swltch
is connected lnto the battery relay clrcutt and must be on
when energmng the battery master power switch. The key
cannot be removed from the lock when in the ON pos~tron
The keyset (two keys) wrll not fit the keylocks on other Army
arrplane.

EXTERNAL POWER
For ground operation, an external power socket. located
under the r~ghtwing outboard of the nacelle, is provided for
the use of auxiliary power units. A relay in the external power
crcuit will close only if the external source polarity is correct.
The security keylock switch (Army only) and battery switch
must be on when applying external power. For starting, external power sources capable of up to 1000-amperes (400amperes maximum continuous) should be used. A green
advisory light on the cautioniadvisory annunciator panel, EXTERNAL POWER, is provided to alert the operator when the
external DC power plug is connected to the airplane. Placing
the avionics master power switch in the EXT PWR position
will allow the use of an auxiliary power unit for avionics
checkout.

The door locking mechanism is operated by the handle in the
center of the door. The inside and outside handles are mechanically interconnected. When the handle is rotated per
placard instructions, two latches hook into the door frame at
the top, and two lock bolts on each side of the door lock into
the frame on the sides. There are four sight openings on the
inner facing of the door: one opening over each locking bolt.
A green stripe, painted on the locking bolt, aligns with a black
pointer in the sight opening when the door is in a locked
condition.
A button adjacent to the door handle, both inside and outside
the cabin, must be depressed before the handle can be
rotated to open the door. This acts as an addit~onalsafety to
aid in preventing accidental openmg.
Another safety device is a small round window just above the
second step which permits observation of the pressurization

EMERGENCY EXIT
The emergency exit door, placarded EXIT-PULL. is located
on the right cabin sidewall just an of the copilot's seat. From
the inside, the door is released with a pull-down handle, and
on the outside the door may be released with a flush
mounted pull-out handle. The door is of the non-hinged, plug
type which removes completely from the frame when the
latches are released. From the inside, the door can be key
locked to prevent opening from the outside. The inside handle will unlatch the door whether or not it is locked, by overriding the locking mechanism. The keylock should be unlocked prior to flight to allow removal of the door from the
outside in the event of an emergency. The key remains in the
lock when the door is locked and can be removed only when
the door is unlocked. The key slot is in the vertical position
when the door is unlocked. Removal of the key from the lock
before flight assures the pilot that the door can be removed
from the outside if necessary.

FLIGHT CONTROLS
The airplane is provided with conventional dual controls for
the pilot and copilot. The ailerons and elevators are operated
b y conventional control wheels interconnected by a Tcolumn. The rudder pedals are interconnected by a linkage
below the floor. These systems are connected to the control
surfaces through closed cable bellcrank systems. Rudder.
elevator, and aileron t r ~ mare adjustable w ~ t hcontrols
mounted on the center pedestal. Position indicators for each
of the trim tabs are integrated with their respective controls.
The rudder pedals may be individually adjusted in either a
forward or aft position to provide adequate legroom for the
pilot and copilot. Adjustment is accomplished by depressing
the lever alongside the rudder pedal arm and moving the
pedal forward or aft until the locking pin engages in the
selected position.

CONTROL LOCKS
The control lock consists of a U-shaped clamp and two pins
connected by a chaln The plns lock the prlmary flight ccntrols and the U-shaped clamp flts around the engine power
control levers and serves to warn the pilot not to start the
englne wlth the control locks ~nstalled.It is important that the
locks be installed or removed together to preclude the possibility of an attempt to taxi or fly the a~rplanew ~ t hthe power

A wiper type disconnect for the air duct that supplies the air
to the eyeball outlet in the emergency exit door is located on
the upper aft edge of the door. As the door is removed, the
duct is disconnected since it is an integral part of the door.
An electrical disconnect, located on the lower forward edge
of the door, will unplug as the door is being removed. On
reinstalling the door, the electrical disconnect should be reconnected before moving the door into the closed position.

POLARIZED CABIN WINDOWS


The outer cabin windows, of three-ply, fail-safe construction.
are the pressure type and are integral parts of the pressure
vessel. Inboard of each pressure cabin window are two inner
windows of bonded laminate construction. Each consists of a
tinted neutral gray polarizing film between two pieces of clear
acrylic. These windows are designed into a sealed unit. The
innermost w~ndowthat faces the inside of the cabin has a
protruding knob near the edge and turns freely in its frame.
By rotating this window, the polarized windows may be so
aligned as to permit varying degrees of light to pass, thereby
regulating light intensity.

1.

Position the U-clamp around the engine power controls.

2.

Insert the small pin in the column.

3. Insert the L-shaped pin through the hole provided in the


floor aft of the rudder pedals. The rudder pedals must be
centered to align the hole in the rudder bellcarnk with the hole
in the floor. The pin is then inserted until the flange is resting
against the floor. This will prevent any rudder movement.
Remove the locks in reverse order, i.e., rudder pin, control
column pin, and power control clamp. The control locks
should be removed before towing, as serious damage could
result in the steering linkage if towed by a tug with the rudder
lock installed.

RUDDER BOOST (ARMY ONLY)


A rudder boost system is prov~dedto aid the pilot in mainta~ning directional stability resulting from an engine failure or a
large variation of power between the englnes. hcorporated in
the rudder cable system are two pneumatic rudder boosting
servos that actuate the cables to provide rudder pressure to
help compensate for asymmetrical thrust.
During operation, a differentral pressure valve accepts bleed
air pressure from each englne. When the pressure varles
between the bleed air systems, the shuttle in the differentla1
pressure valve moves toward the low pressure side. As the
pressure difference reaches a preset tolerance, a switch
closes on the low pressure side which activates the rudder
boost system. This system is designed only to help compensate for asymmetrical thrust. Appropriate trimming is to be
accomplished by the pilot. Moving erther or both of the bleed
air valve switches on the overhead control panel to PNEU 8
ENVIRO
OFF position will disengage the rudder boost
system.

MANUAL ELE VA TOR TRIM


Manual control of the elevator trim is accomplished with a
handwheel located on the left side of the pedestal. It is a
conventional trim wheel which IS rolled forward for nose down
trim and aft for nose up.

ELECTRIC ELEVA TOR TRIM


The electric elevator trim system is controlled by an ELEV
TRIM - PUSH ON - PUSH OFF switch located on the pedestal, dual element thumb switches on the control wheels, a
trim disconnect switch on each control wheel and a circuit
breaker on the overhead circuit breaker panel. The PUSH
ON - PUSH OFF switch must be in the ON positlon to operate
the system. The dual element thumb switch IS moved forward
fortrimming nose down, aft for nose up, and when released
returns to the center (off) position. Any activation of the trim
system through the copilot's trim switch can be cancelled by
activation of the pilot's switch. Operating the pilot's a n d
copilot's switches in opposing directions simultaneously results in no trim action. A preflight check of the switches
should be accomplished during the before take-off check by
moving the swllches individually on both control wheels. No
one switch alone should operate the system; operation of
elevator trim should occur only by movement of pairs of
switches.

The trim system disconnect is a bi-level, push button,


momentary type switch, located on the outboard grip of each
control wheel. Depressing the switch to the first of two levels
disconnects the autopilot and yaw damp system, and the
second level disconnects the electric trim system. The system can be reset by pressing the ON - OFF switch on the
pedestal to ON again. The manual trim control wheel can be
used for trrrn changes when the electric trim system has been
drsconr1ec:ed.

The system IS controlled by a switch located on the extended


pedestal below the rudder trim wheel, placarded RUDDER
BOOST - O N - OFF, and IS to be turned on before flight A
preflight check of the system can be performed during the run
up by retarding the power on one engine to idle and advancrng power on the opposite engine untll the power difference
between the engines is great enough to activate the switch to
turn on the rudder boost system. Movement of the appropriate rudder pedal (lefl engine ~dling, right rudder pedal
moves forward) will be noted when the switch closes. indicating the system is functlonrng properly for low engrne power
on that side. Repeat the check with opposite power settings
to check for movement of the opposite rudder pedal The
system IS protected by a 5-ampere circurt breaker on the
overhead circult breaker panel

YAW DAMP
A yaw damp system is provided to aid the pilot in mardarning
drrectlon stability and increase ride comfort. The system may
be used at any altitude and IS required for flight above 17,000
feet. It must be deactivated for take-off and landing.
A yaw damp system is a part of the autopilot. Operating
instructions for thls system w ~ l lbe contained in the appropriate PROCEDURES section.

The system is controlled by a YAW DAMP swrtch adjacent to


the ELEV TRIM swrtch on the extended ~ e d e s t a l .

FLAPS
The flaps, two on each wlng, are drlven by an electric motor
through a gearbox mounted on the forward side of the rear
spar. The motor incorporates a dynamlc braking system,

through the use of two Sets of motor windings, which helps to


prevent overtravel of the flaps. The gearbox drives four flexible driveshafts connected to jackscrews at each flap. A
safety mechanism is provided to disconnect power to the
electric motor in the event of a failure which would cause any
flap to be three to five degrees out of phase with the other
flaps.
The flaps, are operated by a sliding lever located just below
the condition levers on the pedestal. Flap travel, from 0% (full
up) to 100% (full down) is registered on an electric indicator
on the pilot's subpanel. A side detent provides for quick
selection of APPROACH position (40% Flaps). From the UP
position to the APPROACH position, the flaps cannot be
stopped at an intermediate point. Between the APPROACH
position and DOWN, the flaps may be stopped as desired by
moving the handle to the DOWN position until the flaps have
moved to the desired position, then moving the flap handle
back to APPROACH. In like manner, the flaps may be raised
to any position between DOWN and APPROACH by raising
the handle to UP until the desired setting is reached, then
returning the handle to APPROACH. The APPROACH detent acts as a stop for any position greater than 4046.
The flap motor power circuit is protected by a 20-ampere flap
motor circuit breaker placarded FLAP MOTOR located on the
overhead circuit breaker panel. A 5-ampere circuit breaker,
placarded FLAP CONTR, for the control circuit is also located
on this panel.
With the flaps extended beyond the APPROACH position.
the landing gear warning horn will sound unless the landing
gear is down and locked. Power lever position has no effect
on this condition.

LANDING GEAR
A 28-volt split field motor, located on the forward side of the
center section main spar, extends and retracts the landing
gear. The landing gear r o t o r is cmtrolled by a switch located
on the pilot's subpanel which must be pulled out of a detent to
initiate extension or retraction. The motor incorporates a
dynamic braking system, through the use of two motor windings, which prevents overtravel of the gear.

NOTE
Excessive operation of the gear motor, such as
during landing gear door adjustment or landing
gear rigging, may cause the motor to overheat.

Torque shafts drive the main gear actuators, and duplex


chains drive the nose gear actuator. A spring-loaded friction
type overload clutch incorporated in the gearbox prevents
damage to the structure and to the torque shafts in the event
of mechanical malfunction. A 150 ampere current limiter.

located on the DC distribut~onbus under the center flcorboard, protects the system from electrical overload.
The Beech air-oil type shock struts are filled with compressed
air and hydraulic fluid. Spring loade'd linkage from the rudder
pedals permits nose wheel steering. When the rudder control
is augmented by a main wheel brake, the nose wheel deflection can be considerably increased. As the nose wheel retracts after lift off, it is automatically centered and the steering
linkage becomes inoperative.
A safety switch on the right main strut opens the control
circuit when the strut is compressed. The safety switch also
actuates a solenoid-operated downlock hook on the landing
gear control switch located on the pilot's subpanel. This
mechanism prevents the landing gear handle from being
raised when the airplane is on the ground. The hook automatically unlocks when the airplane leaves the ground and
can be manually overr~ddenby pressing down on the red
button, placarded DN LCK REL, in the event of a malfunction
of the downlock solenoid.
Visual indication of landing gear position is provided by individual green GEAR DOWN ind~catorlrghts arranged in a
triangle on the center subpanel. Two red. parallel-wired indrcator lights located in the control handle illurnmate to snow
that the gear is in transit or not locked. They also illuminate
when the landing gear warnrng horn is actuated. Located to
the right of the landmg gear handle IS a press to test button
placarded HDL LT TEST whlch glves a visual lndicalion that
the lights in the handle will illuminate
When either or both power levers are retarded below an
englne setting sufficient to malntarn flight with the gear not
down and locked, a warnlng horn will sound rntermrttently
The land~nggear warning horn may be tested by the test
sw~tchon the coprlot's subpanel. The switch, placarded
STALL WARNJEST - OFF - LANDING GEAR WARN TEST
will sound the landing gear warning horn when moved to the
momentary LANDING GEAR WARN TEST position

MANUAL LANDING GEAR EXTENSlON


Manual landing gear extension is provided through a manually powered system as a backup to the electrically operated system. Before manually extending the gear, make certain that the landing gear handle is in the down position with
the landing gear relay circuit breaker pulled. Pulling up on the
alternate engage handle, located on the floor, and turning it
clockwise will lock it in that position. When the alternate
engage handle is pulled, the motor is electrically disconnected from the system and the alternate drwe system IS
locked to the gearbox and motor. When the alternate drive is
locked in, the chain is driven by a continuous action ratchet
which is act~vatedby pumping the ratchet handle adjacent to
the alternate engage handle. Do not continue pumping the
ratchet handle after the GEAR DOWN lights illuminate. Excessive pumping may damage the gear drive mechanism
and bind the clutch so that the handle will not release it.

After a manual landlng gear extension has been made, do


not stow the ratchet handle, move any landing gear controls.
or reset any switches or circuit breakers. The gear cannot be
retract?:' manually.
After a practice manual extension, the alternate handle may
be stowed and the landing gear retracted electrically. Rotate
the alternate engage handle counterclockwise and push it
down. Stow the ratchet handle, push in the landing gear relay
circuit breaker on the overhead circuit breaker panel, and
retract the gear in the normal manner with the landing gear
handle switch.

BRAKE S YS TEM
The dual hydraulic brakes are operated by depressing the
toe portion of either the pilot's or copilot's rudder pedals.
Shuttle valves permit braking by either pilot or copilot.
Dual parking brake valves are Installed adjacent to the rudder
pedals between the master cylinders o f the pilot s rudder

the pressure on both sides of the valve, then pushing the
parkmg brake handle to open the valve

BLEED AIR WARNING SYSTEM


The bleed air lines from the engines to the cabin are shielded
with insulation to protect other components from heat. Heat is
also dissipated in the air-to-air heat exchanger in the center
wing section. The bleed air lines are accompanied in close
proximity by plastic tubing from the engines to the cabin. One
end of the tubing is plugged off and the other is connected to
a bleed air source in the cabin to supply the line with pressure. Excessive heat on the plastic tubing caused by a ruptured bleed air line will cause the tubing to fail. Upon release
of pressure in the tubing, a normally open switch in the line.
located under the copdot's floor in the fuselage, will close.
causing a circuit to be completed to the respective BL AIR
FAIL light in the warning annunciator panel. When the indication of bleed air line failure becomes evident, the bleed air for
that side should be turned off by placing the respective lever
lock bleed air valve switch on the overhead control panel
to the PNEU 8 ENVIRO - OFF position.

PlTOT AND STATIC SYSTEM


The p ~ t oand

statrc system provides a source of Impact air
and static air for the operatron of flight Instruments A heated
prtot mast IS located on each s d e on the lower portion of the
nose. Tubing from each mast extends rnto the cabln to Ihe
instrument panel for the lnslruments
The normal static system provides two sources of static alr to
the fl~ghtInstruments through two stat~cair f~ttingson each
slde of the aft fuselage. Each statlc system utrlizes one static
button o n each srde of the fuselage

TIRES
The airplane is equipped with dual 18 x 5.5, 8 ply rating.
tubeless, rim inflation tires on each rnaln gear and a 6.50 x
10, 6 ply rating, tubeless tire on the nose wheel.
Maintaining proper tire inflation pressure will help to prolong
tire service life. Check tires frequently to maintain pressures
within recommended limits and maintain equal pressures on
the tires on any one dual wheel installation.

ENGINE BLEED AIR PNEUMATIC SYSTEM


High pressure engine compressor bleed air, routed through
the firewall shutoff valves and regulated at 18 psi, supplies
pressure for the surface deice system and vacuum source.
Vacuum for the pressurization controller and deice boot holddown is derived from a bleed alr ejector. One engine can
supply sufficient bleed air for all these systems.
During single englne operation, a check valve in each bleed
air line from the engine prevents flow back through the line on
the side of the inoperatiive engine. A pneumatic pressure
gage calibrated in psi indicates air pressure available to the
deice distr~butorvalve.

An alternate statlc air line which terminates lust aft of Ihe


rear pressure bulkhead provides a source of static alr for the
pilot s lnstruments ~n the event of source farlure from the
pilot s statrc arr line A control on the prlot's subpanel

The stall warnlng system cons~stsof a transducer, a lhft


computer, a warnlng horn and a test swilch Angle of attack
IS sensed by aerodynamic pressure on the hft transducer
vane located on the left wing leading edge When a stall IS
Imminent, the output of the transducer activates a stall warn~ng
horn

The system has preflight test capability through the use of a


switch placarded STALL WARN TEST - OFF - LANDING
GEAR W A R N TEST on the right subpanel. Holding this
switch in the STALL WARN TEST position actuates the
warning horn by moving the tranducer vane.
The lift transducer is equipped with anti-icing capability on
both the mounting plate and the vane. The heat is controlled
by a switch located on the overhead control panel placarded
STALL WARN. The level of heat is minimal for ground operation but is automatically increased for flight operation through
the landing gear safety switch. Circuit breakers for the stall
warning horn and the stall vane heat are located on the
overhead circuit breaker panel in their respective weather
and warning groups.

CAUTION
The heating elements protect the lift transducer
vane and face plate from ice, however, a buildup
of ice on the wing may change or disrupt the
airflow and prevent the system from accurately
indicating an imminent stall. Maintain a comfortable margin of airspeed with ice on the airplane.

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM
The environmental system consists of the bleed air pressurization, heating and cooling systems, and their associated
controls.

which is controlled by a solenoid valve operated by the cabm


pressure dump switch adjacent to the controller. It is also
wired through a landing gear safety switch. If either of these
switches is open, or the vacuum source or electrical power is
lost, the safety valve will close to atmosphere except at
maximum differential pressure of 6.0 2 .1 psi. A screen in the
safety valve should be cleaned at 1000 hour intervals.
Before take-off, the safety valve is open with equal pressure

closes on lift off if the CABIN PRESS switch on the instrument panel is in the PRESS mode. As the airplane climbs.
the controller modulates the outflow valve to maintain a
selected cabin rate of climb and increases the cabin differential pressure until the maximum cabin pressure differential is
reached. At a cabin altitude of 12.500 feet. a pressure switch
mounted on the back of the overhead control panel completes a circuit to illuminate a red warning annunciator light.

A negative pressure relief diaphram is also incorporated into


the outflow and safety valves to prevent outside atmospheric

FLOW CONTROL UNIT


PRESSURIZ4 TlON SYSTEM
The pressure vessel is designed for a normal working pressure differential of 6.0 psi, which will provide a cabin pressure
altitude of 3870 feet at an airplane altitude of 20,000 feet, and
a nominal cabin altitude of 9840 feet at an airpiane altitude of
31,000 feet.
A mixture of bleed air from the engines, and ambient air, is
available for pressurization to the cabin at a rate of approximately 10 to 17 pounds per minute. The flow control unit of
each engine controls the bleed air from the engine to make it
usable for pressurization by mixing ambient air with the bleed
air depending upon airplane altitude and ambient temperature. On take-off, excessive pressure bumps are prevented
by landing gear safety sw~tchactuated solenoids incorporated in the flow contrd units. These solenoids, through a
time delay, stage the input of ambient air flow by allowing
ambient air flow introduction through the left flow control unit
first, then 4 seconds later, air flow through the right flow
control unit. A pneumatically operated outflow valve, located
on the aft pressure bulkhead, maintains the selected cabin
altitude and rate-of-climb commanded by the cabin rate-ofclimb and altitude controller on the copilot's instrument panel.
The safety valve adjacent to the outflow valve provides pressure relief in the event of failure of the outflow valve. This
valve is also used as a dump valve and is opened by vacuum

and ventilat~on.
This unit is fully pneumatic except for an integral electric
solenoid firewall shutoff valve controlled by the BLEED AIR
VALVE switches on the overhead control panel and a normally open solenoid operated by the landing gear safety
sw~tchwhich controls the introduction of ambient air flow to
the cabin on take-off.
The unit receives bleed air from the engine into an ejector
which draws ambient air into the ventur~of the nozzle. The
mixed air is then forced mto the bleed air line routed to the
cabin.
Bleed air flow is modulated by a flow control actuator wh~chis
controlled by ambient temperature and altitude. The flow
control actuator is controlled by pneumatic signals from a
pneumatic thermostat and an aneroid valve. Ambient air flow
is modulated by an ambient air valve which is also controlled
by pneumatic signals from the pneumatic thermostat. When
the airplane is on the ground, the landing gear safety switch
prevents ambient air from entering the flow control unit to
provide maximum heating.

The high and low pressure limlt sw~tchesand N1 englne
speed switch are provided to prevent compressor operatron
beyond required operational limits. The N1 speed switch wrll
prevent electrrcal power from being delivered to the compressor clutch when engine rpm is below 65% rpm.

UNPRESSURIZED VENTILATION
Ventilation is provided by two sources. One source is through
the bleed air heating system in both the pressurized and
unpressurized mode. The second source of ventilation is
obtained from ram air through the condenser section in the
nose through a check valve in the vent blower plenum. Ventilation from this source is in the unpressurized mode only. The
check valve closes during pressurized operation. Ram air
ventilation is distributed through the main ducting system to
all outlets. Ventilation air, ducted to each individual eyeball
cold air outlet, can be directionally controlled by moving the
ball in the socket. Volume is regulated by twisting the outlet to
open or close the valve.

When the N1 speed switch is open and there is a demand for


refrigeration, a green light on the cautioniadvisory annunciator panel, AIR COND N1 LOW, will illurn~nate.
The high and low pressure limit switches are rnstalled in the
center section leading edge. Blowrng the fuse rn the protective circuit will disconrinue compressor clutch control
whenever the low pressure or over-pressure switches that
protect the system are activated. This fuse IS access~ble
through an access panel below the wing leading edge, outboard of the battery. When the fuse is blown, the system
should be thoroughly checked before return~ngrt to service.
The compressor clutch crrcu~tbreaker, placarded AIR COND
CONTR, is located ~nthe overhead crrcuit breaker panel

HEA TING
Bleed air is extracted from both engines and is combrned with
amb~entair through the pressur~zationand heating flow control unit in each nacelle and is ducted into the cabin. On the
ground, a solencid actuated portion of the flow control unit
closes off the ambient air to provide only warm bleed air to
the cabin. The landing gear safety switch allows the solenoid
valve to open during flight, providing a mixture of bleed air
and ambient air up to an altitude of approximately 19,000 to
20,000 feet where only bleed air is used.
If the mixed bleed air is too warm for cabin comfort, it is
further cooled by routing it through the air-to-air heat exchanger located in each wing center section. An air intake on
the leading edge of the inboard wing brings ram air into the
heat exchanger to cool the bleed air. After leaving the heat
exchanger, the ram air is ducted overboard through louvers
on the underside of the wing.
After the bleed air passes through (or around) the heat exchangers, it is ducted to a mixing plenum where it is mixed
with cabin recirculated air. The arr is then ducted to the pilot
and copilot outlets, defroster, and through the main ducting
system to the floor outlets.

The forward vent blower is controlled by a switch placarded
VENT BLOWER - AUTO - LOW - HI. The HI and LOW
positions regulate the blower to two speeds of operation. In
the AUTO position, the fan will run at low speed except when
the cabin temperature mode selector switch is placed in the
OFF position. In the OFF position, the blower will not operate.
The aft vent blower is controlled by a switch placarded AFT
VENT BLOWER - OFF - AUTO - ON. The single speed
blower operates automatically through the cabin temperature
mode selector when the aft vent blower switch is placed in
the AUTO position. The blower runs continuously when the
switch is placed in the O N position. In the OFF position, the
blower will not operate.

OXYGEN SYSTEM
The oxygen system provides a sufficient supply of oxygen for
the pilot, copilot and nine cabin outlets to permit a descent
from 31,000 feet down to 13,000 feet pressure altitude. The
system is a constant flow-type for the nine passenger outlets
and the pilot and copilot utilize diluter-demand!lOOaA masks.
A 49 cubic foot, lightweight supply cylinder is installed behind
the aft pressure bulkhead. The oxygen gage on the copilot's
subpanel gives direct readout of cylinder pressure. The pressure regulator and control valve are adjacent to the supply
cylinder and are activated by a remote push-pull knob located in the pilot's compartment, immediately aft of the overhead circuit breaker panel. Pulling the knob placarded SYSTEM - PULL-ON - CREW READY supplies oxygen to the
pilot, copilot and aft toilet compartment outlets. Adjacent to
the system control knob is another push-pull knob placarded
CABIN - PULL-ON PASS READY. This actuates the on-off
valve supplying oxygen to the eight cabin outlets. The cabin
and aft toilet compartment outlets are located on individual
overhead service panels at each seat station.

The passenger masks are kept in sidewall and seat back


pockets in the cabin and in the sidewall pocket in the aft toilet
compartment. All masks are easily connected by pushing the
plug firmly into the outlet and turning clockwise approximately one quarter turn. Unplugging is accomplished by reversing
the motion. When stowing the mask, coil the breathing line
around the mask to avoid any sharp kinks or bends in the
line.
The p i l o t a n d c o p i l o t o x y g e n m a s k s a r e d i l u t e r demandllOOO/o regulator masks which provide the proper
dilution of oxygen with csoin air to conserve oxygen at lower
altitudes. Placing the diluter control lever on the mask regulator in the NORMAL position permits the regulator to
automatically schedule a proportional increase in oxygen as
the altitude increases. When not in use, the masks should be
stowed with the lever in the 100% position. While in use, at
altitudes below 20,000 feet, the lever may (at the crews
discretion) be placed in the NORMAL position to conserve
oxygen.

Each diluter-demand mask has a pressure detector in the


oxygen supply line to provide a visual mdication of oxygen
pressure. A red signal viewed in the window of the detector
indicates low pressure and a green s~gnalindicates adequate
pressure.
A placard on the overhead oxygen control panel indicates
that all masks must be plugged in and immed~atelyavailable
for flights above 25.000 feet. An exception to this is the crew
masks, which will be plugged in and hung on the cockpit
sidewall hooks at all times, ready for immediate use.
Each passenger mask plug has its own regulating orifice.
Since the orifice is in the mask plug, the Oxygen Duration
Chart (Normal Procedures) is based on a flow rate of 3.70
SLPM (Standard Liters Per Minute). The only exception is the
diluter-demand crew mask when used in the 10096 mode.
For oxygen duration computation, each diluter-demand mask
used in the 100?/0mode is considered to double (7.40 SLPM)
the consumption rate.

timer for automatic operation, and a circuit for manual control


for backup.
A control switch on the overhead control panel placarded
PROP - OFF - AUTO is provided to activate the automatic
system. A deice ammeter on the right subpanel registers the
amount of current (14 to 18 amperes) passing through the
system being used. During AUTO operation, power to the
timer will be cut off if the current rises above the 20-ampere
circuit breaker rating. Current flows from the timer to the
bursh assembly and then to the slip rings installed on the
spinner backing plate. The slip rings carry the current to the
deice boots on the propeller blades. Heat from the boots
reduces the grip of the ice which is then thrown off by centrifugal force, aided by the air blast over the propeller surfaces. Power to the two heating elements on each blade, the
inner and outer element, is cycled by the timer in the following sequence: right propeller outer element, right propeller
inner element, left propeller outer element, left propeller inner
element. Loss of one heating element circuit on one side
does not mean that the entire system must be turned off.
Proper operatlon can be checked by noting the correct level
of current usage on the ammeter. An intermittent flicker of the
needle approximately each 30 seconds indicates switching to
the next group of heating elements by the timer.

The manual prop deice system is provided as a backup lo the


automatic system. A control switch located on the overhead
control panel, placarded PROP INNER - OUTER, controls
the manual override relays. When the switch is in the OUTER
position, the automatic timer is overlidden and power is supplied to the outer heating elements of both propellers
simulatneously. The switch is of the momentary type and
must be held in position until the ice has been dislodged from
the propeller surface. After deicing with the outer elements,
the switch is to be held in the INNER posltion to perform the
same function for the inner elements of both propellers. The
loadmeters will indicate approximately a 5% increase of load
per meter when manual prop deice is operating. The prop
deice ammeter will not indicate any load in the manual mode
of operation.

SURFACE DEICE SYSTEM


The surface deice system removes ice accumulation from
the leading edges of the wings and horizontal stabilizers. Ice
removal is accomplished by alternately inflating and deflating
the deice boots. Pressure regulated bleed air from the engines supplies pressure to inflate the boots. A venturl ejector,
operated by bleed air, creates vacuum to deflate the boots
and hold them down whde not in use. To assure operatlon of
the system in the event of fallure of one engtne, a check valve

MANUAL. When the SINGLE CYCLE AUTO position i s


selected, the distributor valve opens to inflate the wing boots.
After an inflation period of approximately 6 seconds, an electronic timer switches the distributor to deflate the wing boots
and a 4 second inflation begins in the horizontal stabilizer
boots. When these boots have inflated and deflated, the
cycle is complete.
If the switch is held in the MANUAL position, the boots w ~ l l
inflate simultaneously and remain inflated until the switch is
released. The switch will return to the OFF position when
released. After the cycle, the boots will remain in the vacuum
hold down condition until again actuated by the switch.
The most effective deicing operation is to allow at least 112
inch of ice to form before attempting ice removal. Very thin
ice may crack and cling to the boots instead of shedding.
Subsequent cyclings of the boots will then have a tendency
to build up a shell of ice outside the contour of the leading
edge, thus making ice removal efforts ineffective.

PlTOT MAST
Heatmg elements are installed in the p ~ t o masts

FlRE DETECTION SYSTEM


A fire detection system is installed to provide immediate
warning in the event of fire at the engine compartment. The
system consists of three photo-conductive cells in each engine nacelle, control amplifiers in the center section leading

placarded # 1 FlRE PULL and # 2 FIRE PULL, a rotary fire
protection test switch on the copilot's subpanel and a 5 ampere FIRE DETR circuit breaker on the overhead circuit

are positioned in the engine compartments to receive direct
and reflected rays, thus covering the ent~recompartment with
three cells. Heat level and rate of heat rise are not factors ~n

false alarm, the control amplifier acl~vatesonly when the


signal reaches a preset alarm level, which illuminates the
appropriate warning lights in the fire control T handles and
the master fault warning light on the glaresh~eld.When the
fire has been extinguished, the cell output voltage drops
below the alarm level and the control amplifier resets. No
m a n u a l resetting is required to reactivate the detection
system.
A rotary switch, placarded FlRE PROTECTION TEST, is
located on the copilot's subpanel. The right side of the switch.
placarded DETR - 1-2-3 provides a means of testing the
detection system circuitry. The system may be tested any
time on the ground or in flight by rotating the switch from OFF
to any of the three positions to activate a corresponding set of
flame detectors in each engine compartment. As the selector
is rotated through each of the three positions, the lights in the
fire control T handles and the master fault warning light will
illuminate. Failure of a light to illuminate in any one position
indicates trouble in that particular detector circuit.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER SYSTEM


The fire extinguisher system utilizes an explosive squib a n d
valve which, when opened, allows the distribution of the
pressurized extinguishing agent through a plumbing network
of spray nozzles strategically located in the fGe zones of the
engines.
The fire control T handles used to arm the extinguisher
system are centrally located on the pilot's instrument pane!.

power from the hot battery bus. The fire detection system w ~ l l
indicate an engine fire by illuminating the master fault warning light on the copilot's glareshield and the respective # 1 or
# 2 FlRE PULL lights in the fire control T handles. Pulling the
fire control T handle will electrically arm the extinguisher
system and close the fuel firewall shut off valve for that
particular engine. This will cause the red light in the PUSH

master fault caution lights on the glareshield will illuminate
and remain illuminated, regardless of the master switch position, until the squib is replaced.
The fire protection rotary test switch is located on the
copilot's subpanel. The test functions, placarded EXTGH - #
1 - # 2, are arranged on the left side of the switch and provide
a test of the pyrotechnic cartridge circuitry. During preflight,
the pilot should rotate the test switch through the two
positions and verify the illumination of the green SQUIB OK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS
The dual windshield wiper installation consists of a motor.
arm assemblies, drive shafts, and converters, all located
forward of the instrument panel. The system includes a control switch, located on the overhead control panel. The system circuit breaker is located in the overhead c~rcuitbreaker
panel. Windshield wipers may be operated for flight and
ground operations. Do not use them on dry glass. The control
knob, placarded PARK-OFF-SLOW-FAST, controls the wipers with two speeds for light or heavy precipitation. After the
control is turned to PARK to bring the wipers to their most
inboard position, sprlng loading returns the control to the
OFF position.

CARE AND HANDLING IN COLD WEATHER

PREFLIGHT INSPECTION
Check the brakes and tire-to-ground contact for freeze lockup. Anti-ice solutions may be used on the brakes or tires if
freeze-up occurs. No anti-ice solution which contains a lubricant, such as oil, should be used on the brakes. It will
decrease the effectiveness of the brake friction areas. In
addition to the normal preflight exterior inspection, special
attention should be given all vents, openings, control surfaces, hinge points, and wing, tail and fuselage suriaces for
accumulation of ice or snow. Removal of these accumulations is necessary prior to take-off. The wing contour may be
sufficiently altered by the ice and snow that its lift qualities are
seriously impaired. Complete the normal preflight procedures
including a check of the flight controls for complete freedom
of movement.
Inspect the propeller blades and hubs for ice or snow. Unless
engine inlet covers have been installed during snow and

freezing rain conditions, the propellers should be turned (in


the direction of normal rotation) by hand to make sure they
are free to rotate prior lo starting the engines.

NOTE "
A f t e r englne start, exercise the propellers
through low and high pitch, beta range, and into
reverse range l o flush any congealed oil through
the oil system.

TAXIING
When possible, taxiing in deep snow or slush should be
avoided. Under these conditions the snow and slush can be
forced into the brake assemblies. If it becomes necessary to
taxi in ice or snow; caution should be exercised to ensure the
spray pattern of slush is not being ingested into the engine or
inter cooler intakes. Keep flaps retracted during taxiing to
avoid throwing snow or slush into the flap mechanisms and to
minimize damage to flap surfaces. When parking the airplane, it will be of some help to refrain from setting the
parking brakes immediately. Chocks or sandbags can be
used to prevent the a~rplanefrom rolling.
Spotty ice cover IS diff~cultto see. therefore tax1 slowly ?nd
allow more clearance in maneuvermg the alrplane
Before take-off, ensure the runway IS free from hazards. such
as snow drifts, glazed ice and ruts.

TAKE-OFF AND FLIGHT


Allow additional take-off distance i f encountering snow or
slush on the runway. After take-off it is recommended that
when flight considerations permit, the pilot keep the landing
gear down long enough without braking the wheels so that
the rotational forces and forward speed can remove most of
the moisture, snow or slush. Extra cycling of the landing gear
retraction system shortly after take-off could help dislodge
any moisture on moving parts of the retraction system.
During take-off in ice or snow conditions the inertial seperator
ice vanes should be extended to preclude the possibility of
ice being ingested into the engine air inlet.
When encountering icing conditions, in flight, it should be
kept in mind that with ice loads; stalling occurs at a higher
speed than normal, turns should be wide and shallow, and.
approach and landing speeds may have to be increased
somewhat.

LANDING
Due to the variety of possible winter conditions, the pilot must
be especially alert in landing. He may encounter unpredictable circumstances, such as swirling wind conditions, poor
visibility, ice on the runway or on the landlng gear mechan-

ism. It is recommended that just prior to landing, and with


gear down, brake pressure be applied several times to alleviate any brake freeze-up caused by ice in the brake assembly.
Braking and steerlng are less effective under slick runway
conditions. Also hydroplaning may occur under wet runway
conditions at higher speeds. Use of the rudder to maintam
directional control until the tires make solid contact with the
runway surface may be necessary. Applying reverse pitch to
the propellers can effectively reduce stopping distances on
slick runways. However, caution should be used in instances
when reversing pitch may cause snow to be thrown forward
reducing the pilots visibility.

COMPASS
Dual identical compass systems provide accurate directional
information for the airplane at all latitudes of the earth. As a
heading reference, two modes of operation are used:
directional gyro (FREE) mode, or slaved (SLAVE) mode.
In polar regions of the earth where magnetic heading
references are not reliable, the system is operated in the
FREE mode. In this mode, the system furnishes an inertial
heading reference, with latitude corrections introduced
manually. In areas where magnetic heading references are
reliable, the system is operated in the SLAVE mode. In this
mode, the directional gyro is slaved to the magnetic azimuth
detector, which supplies long-term magnetic reference for
correction of the apparent drift of the gyro. Magnetic heading
information from both systems is applied to various airplane
systems through pilot and copilot COMPASS switches.

The purpose of this sect~onis to supply you with information for servicing the airplane when operating away from your home
station. A listing of consumable Materials, Approved Fuels and Oils, Lubrication Points, and br~efservic~nginformation is
included as a ready reference should the need arise.

WARNING
T h ~ sis a pressurized airplane. Drilling, modification, or any type of work which creates a
break in the pressure vessel is considered the responsibility of the facility performing the
work. Obtaining approval of the work is, therefore, their responsibility.

GROUND HANDLING
TOWING
The tow bar connects to the upper torque knee fitting of the
nose strut. The airplane is steered w ~ t hthe tow bar when
movmg the airplane by hand, or it can be connected to a tug
to tow the airplane. Although the tug will control the steermg
of the airplane, someone should be positioned in the pilot's
seat to operate the brakes in case of an emergency.

WARNING
Always ascertain that the control locks a;e removed before towing the a~rplaneSerious damage can result to the steerlng linkage i f towed
with a tug w ~ t hthe rudder locks installed

NOTE
Avoid settlng the parking brake when the brakes
are hot from severe usage, or when molsture
conditions and freezmg temperatures could form
ice locks.

TIE-DOWN
Three moorlng eyes are provlded one underneath each wing
and one in the ventral fin To moor the airplane chock the
wheels fore and aft, install the control locks, and t ~ ethe
arplane down at all three points If extreme weather IS anticipated. it IS advisable to nose the airplane mro the wing before
tymg it down. When mooring the airplane, install propeller
restraints and the covers on the pitot masts, engine Intake
and exhaust, and the heat exchanger leading edge ~nlets

JACKING POINTS
The nose gear strut has turn limit warnlng marks to warn the
tug driver when turnmg limits of the gear will be exceeded.
Damage will occur to the nose gear and linkage if the turn
hm~tis exceeded. The maximum nose wheel turn angle is 48'
left and right. When ground handling the airplane, do not use

of the nacelle fairing. All three points are easily identified by
the placarding JACK PAD adjacent to the jack points. The
areas around the jack pads are unobstructed to facilitate the
use of jacks. All adapters extend .7 inch or more below the
structure surface.

PARKING
The parking brake may be set by pulling out the parking
brake control, located on the extreme left side, below the
pllot's subpanel, and depressing :he toe portion of the pilot's
rudder pedals. The parking control closes dual valves in the
brake lines that trap the pressure applied to the brakes and
keep it from returnmg through the master cylinders. To release the parking brake, depress the pilot's brake pedals to
equalize the pressure on both sides of the parking brake
valves and push the parking brake control fully in.

the distance exceeds .20 inch (as indicated by the accompanying illustration) the brakes should be replaced. This
check should be accomplished with brake pressure applied.
For more detail on servicing of the wheels and brakes, refer
to the Maintenance Manual.

CLEANING AND INSPECTING THE OIL FILTER


The engine oil filter is located under the square cover plate at
the three o'clock position of the compressor inlet case and
just behind the aft fire seal. The filter may be cleaned as
follows:
1. Remove the four self-locking nuts and plain washers
securing the filter cover to the compressor inlet case. Remove the cover and withdraw the element from the filter
housing.
2. Hand flush the element in clean, unused solvent to
remove light contaminants on the external protective screen.
3. Dry the element with clean, filtered air or allow to stand
until dry.

OIL SYSTEM
Servicing the engine oil system primarily involves maintaining the engine oil at the proper level, cleaning and replaclng
the filter element, and changing !he oil at the proper intervals.
The filter element should be cleaned at 100-hour intervals.
The interval for changing the oil is dependent upon airplane
utilization. For typical utilization (50 hours per month or less)
change the oil each 400 hours or 9 months, whichever occurs
first. For high utilization (more than 50 hours per month)
change the oil each 400 hours (1200 hours using 5 Centistoke oils) or 9 months, whichever occurs first.

CAUTION
Do not mix different brands of oil when adding oil
between oil changes. Different brands or types of
oil may be incompatible because of the difference in their chemical structure.

The oil tank is provided with an oil filler neck and quantity
dipstick cap which protrude through the accessory gearcase
at the eleven o'clock position. The dipstick is marked in U.S.
quarts and indicates the last five quarts required to bring the
system up full. Access to the dipstick cap is gained through
an access door on the aft engine cowl. Service the oil system
with oil as specified in Consumable Materials. Do not mix
different oil brands together. Total oil tank capacity is 2.3 U.S.
gallons. When a dry engine is first serviced it will require
approximately 5 quarts, in addition to tank capacity, to fill the
lines and cooler, giving a total system capacity of 14 quarts.
The engine will trap approximately 1.5 quarts which cannot
be drained; therefore, when performing an oil change, refill
the system with 12 quarts and add additional oil based on the
dipstick reading.

4. Visually inspect and repeat the cleaning process if required. The filter should be cleaned at 100-hour intervals and
replaced at 1000 hours or sooner if oil system be-~ o m e s
contaminated. Each time the filter is removed for cleaning or
inspection, the "0" ring seal inside the perforated flange
must be replaced.

CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL

When changmg to a different brand of oil, completely drain the airplane oil system as indicated
in'the procedure below. Remove the oil filter and
immerse it in the brand of oil to be used. Reinstall
the oil filter and drain plugs. Fill the system to the
proper level, and ground run the engines for 20
minutes to thoroughly circulate the new brand of
oil throughout the system. Completely drain the
airplane oil system and again remove the oil filter
and immerse it in the new brand of oil. Refill the
airplane oil system as indicated below. This will
thoroughly purge the system of the old oil to
prevent chemical interaction between it and the
new brand.

CAUTION
Spilled oil should be removed immediately to
prevent possible tire contamination or damage.

6. With all the drain plugs removed, motor the engine over
with the starter only (no ignition) to permit the scavenge
pumps to clear the engine.

CA UTION
Limit motoring to the time required to accomplish
the above because of the limited lubrication available to the engine during this operation. To
prevent damage to the fuel control unit, leave the
condition lever in IDLE CUT-OFF while motoring
the engine.
7. Install a new oil filter element as described in CLEANING AND INSPECTING OIL FILTER.

8. Coat a new "0" ring seal with engine oil and install it on
the engine drain plug.

Type A, Class 2, anti-seize compound to the
drain prior to reinstallation.

13. Fill the engine with the correct amount and type of oil as
specified in CONSUMABLE MATERIALS.

16. Check dipstick for proper engine oil level.

FUEL SYSTEM
FUEL HANDLING PRACTICES
All hydrocarbon fuels contain some dissolved, suspended
water. The quantity of water contained in the fuel depends on
temperature and the type of fuel. Kerosene, with its higher
aromatic content, tends to absorb and suspend more water
than aviation gasoline. Along with the water, it will suspend
rust, lint, and other foreign materials longer. Given sufficient
time, these suspended contaminants will settle to the bottom
of the tank. However, the settling time for kerosene is five
times that of aviation gasoline. Due to thls fact, jet fuels
required good fuel handling practices to assure that the airplane is serviced with clean fuel. If recommended ground
procedures are carefully followed, solid contaminants will
settle and free water can be reduced to 30 parts per million
(PPM), a value that is currently accepted by the major airlines. Since most suspended matter can be removed from
the fuel by sufficient settling time and proper filtration, it is not
a major problem. Dissolved water has been found to be the
major fuel contamination problem. Its effects are multiplied in
airplanes operating primarily in humid regions and warm
climates.
Dissolved water cannot be filtered from the fuel with micronic
type filters, but can be released by lowering the fuel temperature, such as will occur in flight. For example, a kerosene fuel
may contain 65 ppm (8 ounces per 1000 gallons) of dissolved
water at 80F. When the fuel temperature is lowered to 15'F,
only about 25 ppm will remain in solution. The difference of
40 ppm will have been released as super cooled water droplets which need only a piece of solid contaminant or an
impact shock to convert them to ice crystals. Tests indicate
that these water droplets will not settle slnce the specific
gravity of ice is approximately equal to that of kerosene. The
40 ppm of suspended water seems like a very small quantity,
but when added to suspended water in the fuel at the time of
delivery, is sufficient to ice a filter. While the critical fuel
temperature range is from 0" to -20F, which produces severe system icing, water droplets can freeze at any temperature below 32F.
Water in jet fuel also creates an environment favorable to the
growth of microbiological sludge in the settlement areas of
the fuel cells. This sludge, plus other contaminants in the
fuel, can cause corrosion of metal parts in the fuel system as
well as clogging of the fuel filters.
Since fuel temperature and settling tune affect total water
content and foreign matter suspension, contamination can be

minimized by keeping equipment clean. Use adequate filtration equipment and careful water drainage procedures, store
the fuel in the coolest areas possible, and allow adequate
settling time. Underground storage is r e c o m m e n d e d . f o r
fuels. Filtering the fuel each time it is transferred will minimize
the quantity of suspended contaminants carried by the fuel.
The primary means of contamination control is careful handling. This applies not only to fuel supply, but to keeping the
airplane system clean. The following is a list of steps that
may be taken to prevent and recognize contamination problems.
1. Know your supplier. It is impractical to assume that fuel
free from contaminants will always be available, but it is
feasible to exercise precaution and be watchful for signs of
fuel contamination.

2. Assure, as much as possible, that the fuel obtained has


been properly stored, filtered as it is pumped to the truck, and
filtered again as it is pumped from the truck to the airplane.
3. Perform filter inspections t o determine i f sludge is
present.

4. Periodically flush the fuel tanks and systems. The frequency of flushing should be determined by the climate and
the presence of sludge.

5. Use only clean fuel servicing equipment.

6. Start flow of additive when refueling beglns. (Refueling


should be at 30 galimin minimum, 60 galimin maximum. A
rate of less than 30 gallmin may be used when topping off
tanks.)

Assure that the additive is directed into the flowing fuel stream and that additive flow is started
after fuel flow starts and is stopped before fuel
flow stops. Do not allow concentrated additive to
contact coated interior of fuel cells or airplane
painted surfaces. Use not less than 20 fl oz of
additive per 260 gallons of fuel or more than 20 11
oz of additive per 104 gallons of fuel.

FILLING THE TANKS


When filling the alrplane fuel tanks, always observe the following:

I Make sure the fuel nozzle IS grounded at the filler cap


grounding jack and that both the alrpiane and servlclng unrt
are grounded
2 The main filler caps are located on top of each outboard
wlng sectlon. The auxiliary fuel filler caps (11~nstalled)are
located on top of the wmg center sectlon.

6. After refueling, allow a three hour settle p e r i o d ,


whenever possible, then drain a small amount of fuel from
each drain.

CAUTION

CAUTION

Do not fill auxiliary fuel tanks unless mam tanks


are full.

Fuel spills on tires have a deteriorating effect and


the tires should be cleaned promptly.
3. Allow a three hour settle period whenever possible, then
drain a small amount of fuel into a container from each drain
point. Check fuel at each drain point for contamination.

BLENDING ANTI-ICING ADDITIVE TO FUEL


FUEL GRADES AND TYPES
The following procedure will be used when blending antiicing additive complying with MIL-L-27686 as the airplane is
being refueled through the tank fillers.
1. Using "HI-FLO PRIST" blender (Model PHF-204), remove cap containing the tube and clip assembly.
2. Attach pistol grip on collar.

3. Press tube into button.


4. C l ~ ptube end to fuel nozzle.
5. Pull trigger firmly to assure full flow and lock in piace.

Jet A, Jet A-1. Jet B, and JP-4, JP-5 fuels may be mixed in
any ratio. Aviation gasoline, grades 80 87 and 115 1 4 5 are
alternate fuels and may be mixed in any ratio with the normal
fuels when necessary. However, use of the lowest octane
rating available is suggested. Engine operation shall be limited to 150 hours during each time-between-overhaul
(TBO) perlod.
A FUEL BRAND AND TYPE DESIGNATION chart is included in this section and gives the fuel refiner's brand name
along with the corresponding designation established by the
American Petroleum Institute (API) and the American Society
of Testing Material (ASTM). The brand names are listed for

ready reference and are not specified by Beech Aircraft Corporation as the only acceptable products. Any product conforming to the recommended specifications may be used.

CHANGJNG THE FUEL PUMP FIL TER


At intervals of 100 operating hours, clean the fuel pump filter
as follows:

DRAINING THE FUEL SYSTEM


The airplane fuel system can be drained by either of two
methods. Both methods involve removing the access cover
plate on the lower aft cowling. Cut the safety wire and remove
the plug from the defuel fitting. A standard AN 832-12 union
is installed in the defuel fitting and tightened until fuel flows
out of the adapter. The fuel can be gravity drained from the
nacelle into a suitable container. Total time to gravity drain
the system will be approximately 28 minutes per side.
The system can also be evacuated by a fuel truck connected
to the defueling adapter. Total defueling time, based on a 20
gpm flow rate for the fuel truck pump, will be approximately
ten minutes per side.
The auxiliary fuel system (if installed) can be drained by
either transferring it to the main system with the transfer
system, or by draining it into a container by removing the
drain plug located in the bottom of the auxiliary tank sump
strarner.
The aux~liarytank need not be drained to replace the standby
fuel pump

The fuel pump filter is housed in the engine driven pump


located on the right side of the engine accessory case.
1. Remove the lockwire and the four retaining screws in
the cover of the filter.
2. Use a CPWA 30443 puller to remove the filter assembly
from the fuel pump housing.

3. Disassemble the filter by removing the long bolt in the


center of the filter.
4. Clean the filter element by sloshing it in solvent, and
blowing it with compressed air regulated to 15 psi. Check the
filter for broken screen, loose brazing or corrosion. Replace
the filter element if any of these conditions exist.

5. Reassemble the clean or new filter element on the cover


plate with the spring, washer, and teflon packing ring and
torque the long bolt 25 to 30 inch-pounds.
6 . Install a new packing and ' 0" ring on the cover flange
and install the f~lterassembly into the pump body Install and
torque the four retaining screws 40 to 46 inch-pounds and
lockwrre.

2 . Remove the drain tube from the firewall filter.

3. Cut the lockwire securing the filter housing retaining nut


and remove the nut.
4. Remove the filter housing from the filter body by inserting a No. 10 (32 UNF-36) screw in the filter removal hole in
the cover assembly.

Vacuum for the pressurization controller and deicer boot


holddown is obtained by operating an ejector wrth bleed air

40 to 60 inch-pounds. Safety the cover bolts with lockwire.

9 . Reattach the drain tube to the firewall filter.

Oxygen for unpressurized high altitude flight is supplied by a


cylinder located in the compartment behind the aft pressure
bulkhead. A 49 cubic foot light weight cylinder is installed in
the airplane. The oxygen system is serviced by a filler valve
accessible by removing an access plate on the right side of
the aft fuselage. The system has two pressure gages, one
located on the right subpanel in the crew compartment for
in-flight use, and one adjacent to the filler valve for checking
system pressure during filling. A shutoff valve and regulator,
located on the cylinder, controls the flow of oxygen to the

crew and toilet compartment. A separate shutoff valve controls oxygen flow to the passenger outlets. Both shutoff
valves are actuated by push-pull type controls located aft of
the overhead circuit breaker panel in the crew compartment.
The pilot and copilot have diluter-demand masks and the
passengers have plug-in, constant flow masks.

OXYGEN SYSTEM PURGING


Offensive odors may be removed from the oxygen system by
purging. The system should also be purged any time system
pressure drops below 50 psi or a line in the system is
opened. Purging is accomplished simply by connecting a
recharging cart into the system and permitting oxygen to flow
through the lines and outlets until any offensive odors have
been carried away. The following precautions should be observed when purging or servicing the oxygen system:
1. Avoid any operation that could create sparks. Keep all
burning cigarettes or fire away from the vicinity of the yirplane
when the outlets are in use.
2. Inspect the filler connection for cleanliness before attaching it to the filler valve.

SERVICING THE AIR CONDITIONER


Servicing the air conditioner system consists of checkmg and
maintcining the correct refrigerant level, compressor oil level,
belt tension and condition, system leak detection, and replacement of the evaporator air filters. It is imperative that the
maintenance of the air conditioning system, except for filter
replacement, be accomplished only by qualified refrigerant
system technicians. The following information should be considered a guide only to aid qualified personnel in repairing,
overhauling, or replacing the refrigeration system components.

CHARGING THE REFRIGERANT SYSTEM


The system should be recharged when
1. The refrigerant level is insufficient. The refrigerant level
may be observed through the sight glass, located under an
inspection plate on the nose, In the receiver-dryer. The level
is insufficient if it contains bubbles or appears milky

2. Leaks have been detected in the system.


3. Air has entered the system

3. Make sure that your hands, tools, and clothing are


clean, particularly of grease or oil stains, for these contaminants are extremely dangerous in the vicinity of pure oxygen.
4. As a further precaution against fire, open and close all
oxygen valves slowly during filling.

FILLING THE OXYGEN SYSTEM


When filling the oxygen system, use Aviator's Breathing Oxygen, MIL-0-27210 only. DO NOT use Medical Oxygen since
this type contains moisture which may cause the oxygen
valve to freeze.
Fill the oxygen system slowly by adjusting the recharging rate
with the pressure regulating valve on the servicing cart, because the oxygen, under high pressure, will cause excessive
heating of the filler valve. The 49 cubic foot cylinder may be
charged to a pressure of 1850 i 50 psi at a temperature of
70F. This pressure may be increased an additional 3.5 psi
for each degree of increase in temperature; similarly, for
each degree of drop in temperature, reduce the pressure for
the cylinder by 3.5 psi. The oxygen system, after filling, will
need to cool and stabilize for a short period before an accurate reading on the gage can be obtained. When the system
is properly charged, disconnect the filler hose from the filler
valve and replace the protective cap on the filler valve.

O X Y G E N CYLINDER RETESTING
Light weight oxygen cylinders, stamped "3HT" on the side
plate, must be hydrostatically tested every three years and
the test date stamped on the cylinder. This bottle has a
service life of 4380 pressurizations or fifteen years,
whichever occurs first, and then must be discarded.

Components carrying refrlgerant have been replaced

WARNING
Refrigerant and oil are under pressure within the
refrigeration system. Injury to personnel or damage to the system could occur if the maintenance
is not performed properly. The refrigerant system
should be serviced only by qualified air condit~onertechnicians.

The total capacity of the system is 152 ounces of refrlgerant.


Access to the air conditioner servicing connections is gained
through the left cowling door of the right nacelle just forward
of the firewall. Attach the service unit to the connections on
the compressor. The compressor discharge service connection is the connection nearest to the access opening. If only
part of the refrigerant has been lost, which is indicated by
bubbles in the sight glass when the system is in operation,
the system may be fully charged by introducing refrigerant
into the suction service connection. The refrigerant should be
added in a vapor form to prevent liquid "slugging", which may
cause damage to the compressor. Operate the compressor
until all bubbles are gone from the sight glass on the receiverdryer. If all of the refrigerant has been lost, the system should
be purged by evacuating with a vacuum pump to an absolute
pressure level of 125 microns, then break the vacuum with
refrigerant, start the compressor and charge as previously
described.
Frigidaire 525 viscosity refrigerant oil, or equivalent, is recommended for use in the air condit~onercompressor. Since

the refrigerant-oil mixture in the compressor is under pressure, extreme caution must be used when adding oil to the
compressor. Frigidaire 525 viscosity refrigerant oil is distributed in an aerosol pressure can which delivers the oil into
the compressor connection under pressure. The suction service connection on the compressor is the recommended
location for adding oil to the compressor. Disconnect the
suction service connection and apply four ounces of oil, then
connect the suction service connection. Operate the compressor after addition of oil to check the oil level. Except
when the system has been totally evacuated (a total recharge of oil is 26 ounces), no more than four ounces of oil
should be added at one time.

AIR CONDITIONER AIR FILTER REPLACEMENT


The air conditioner filters are flexible, fiberglass type filters
that cover the evaporator coils and should be replaced each
300 hours of operation.
Forward evaporator filter replacement:
1. Remove the access door in the nose wheel well keel
under the refrigerant plumbing.

2. Pull the filter down and out of the retaining springs on


the evaporator coil.

3 Fold the new f~lterto insert ~tthrough the access doors

MISCELLANEOUS MAINTENANCE
CLEANING

AIRPLANE FINISH
Urethane paint is used on the airplane because it is impervious to synthetic oil and most solvents and has excellent
abrasion resistance. This paint finish gives a very lustrous
sparkle. In hot weather, oxidation will occur faster than in cold
weather, so it is recommended that a good grade of wax or
good automotive polish be used to aid in preserving the
finish. Hangaring the airplane while not in use is good insurance against deterioraticn from sun and weather.

WIND0WS AND WINDSHIELDS


The wmdshield and plastic windows should be kept clean
and waxed To prevent scratches, wash the w~ndowscarefully with plenty of mild soap and water, using the palm of the
hand to dislodge dirt and mud Flood the surface with clean
water to rinse away dirt and soap After rlnsing, dry the
w~ndowsw ~ t ha clean, mo~stchamois Rubbing the surface of
the plastlc w ~ t ha dry cloth should be avoided, as it builds up
an electrostatc charge on the surface which attracts dust
particles
If oil or grease IS present on the surface of the plastlc, remove
w ~ t hkerosene before washmg it with
it with a cloth mo~stened
soap and water. Never use gasoline, benzine, alcohol,
acetone, carbon tetrachloride, f r e extinguisher or antl-ice
flu~d,laquer th~nneror glass cleaner These materials w ~ l l
soften the plastic and may cause it to craze

Aft evaporator filter replacement:


1. Remove the carpet and floor panel behind the rear spar,

and remove the cover of-the evaporator plenum.


2. Remove the old filter from behind the retaining springs
on the evaporator coil.
3. Insert the new filter between the retainer springs and the
evaporator coil.
4.

Replace the plenum cover, floor panel, and carpet.

VENTILA TION AIR RETURN LINE FILTER REPLACEMENT


Effective Army airplane number 22267 and Air Force number
22259, a filter is installed in the evaporator vent blower air
return line. This filter is located at floorboard level adjacent to
the forward pressure bulkhead. Replace the filter each 300
hours of vent blower operation or whenever condition dictates. Replacement is accomplished by installing the appropriate sized filter material on the support screen inside the air
return line.

After thoroughly cleaning,_wax the surface with a good grade


of commercial wax provided it does not have an acrylic base.
The wax will fill in minor scratches and help prevent further
scratching. Apply a thin, even coat of wax and bring it to a
high polish by rubbing lightly with a clean, dry, soft flannel
cloth. Do not use a power buffer; the heat generated by the
buffing pad may soften the plastic.

POLARIZED CABIN WIND0WS


The polarized cabin windows consist of two plastic window
panes installed with the polarized surfaces facing each other
in a sealed assembly. To clean the interior exposed surface
of the window requires only careful application of the practices for cleaning plastic windows. If it should become necessary to clean the inner surface of the sealed assembly and
the inside of the pressure glass, the sealed assembly may be
removed by removing the escutcheon, four screws, and the
sealed assembly. Clean the interior windows and reinstall the
sealed assembly and escutcheon.

SURFACE DEICE BOOT CLEANING


The deice boots are made of soft, flexible stock, which may

be damaged if gasoline hoses are dragged over the surface


of the boots or if ladders and platforms are rested against
them. KEEP DEICE BOOTS FREE OF OIL, FUEL, PAINT
REMOVER, SOLVENTS, AND OTHER INJURIOUS SUBSTANCES. Deice boots should be cleaned regularly with a
mild soap and water solution not to exceed 180F.

tioned in the article on care of plastic windows, should never


be used since they soften and craze the plastic

ICE VANES (INERTIAL SEPARATOR SYSTEM) RESETTING OVERRIDE ASSEMBLY

INTERIOR CARE
To remove dust and loose dirt from the upholstery, headliner,
and carpet, clean the interior regularly with a vacuum
cleaner.

Once the electrical actuator has been disengaged by the


manual override the actuator will remain inoperative until the
override is manually disengaged as follows:
1. Open the forward cowling.

Blot up any spilled liquid promptly with cleansing tissue or


rags. Do not pat the spot. Press the blotting material firmly
and hold it for several seconds. Continue blotting until no
more liquid is taken up. Scrape off sticky materials with a dull
knife, then spot clean the area.
Oily spots may be cleaned with housegold spot removers.
used sparingly. Before using any solvent, read the instructions on the container and test it on an obscure place on the
fabric to be cleaned. Never saturate the fabric with a volatile
solvent; it may damage the padding and backing materials.
Soiled upholstery and carpet may be cleaned with foam-type
detergent, used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
To minimize wetting the fabric, keep the foam as dry as
possible and remove it with a vacuum cleaner.
The plastic trim, instrument panel, and control knobs need
only be wiped with a damp cloth. Oil and grease on the
control wheel and control knobs can be removed with a cloth
moistened with kerosene. Volatile solvents, such as men-

2. Push up on the latch where it protrudes into the slot


in the override assembly until the clevis bolt on end of the
manual override arm is free to travel forward in slot.
3. If necessary, center the clevis bolt on the end of
the actuator arm in the semicircular slot in the override assembly. This will align the clevis bolt w ~ t hthe pin in the
override assembly. When in this position, the actuator arm
clevis engages the cam slot and is properly locked in plact
for the extent of travel required to operate the inertial vane

Do not operate actuator when the actuator and


mechanical arms are disengaged Failure to properly posit~onthe end of the actuator arm in the
semicircular slot of the override assembly w ~ l l
prevent full travel of the actuator and result in
damage to the electrical actuator

for the
WOODWARD ELECTRONIC PROPELLER SYNCHROPHASER

(TYPE I SYSTEM)
The information in this document is FAA Ap'proved material which, together with the basic Airplane Flight
Manual is applicable and must be attached to the basic manual when the airplane is modified by the
installation of the Woodward Electronic Propeller Synchrophaser in accordance with STC SA250CE.
The information in this document supersedes the basic manual only where covered in the items contained
herein. For Limitations, Procedures, and Performance not contained in the supplement, consult the basic
Airplane Flight Manual.

When the Type / System is installed the following placard must be mounted on or near the synchrophaser
control switch:
PROP SYN

OFF FOR T.O. LDG

NORMAL PROCEDURES
1. Synchronize the engines manually.
2. Position control switch to ON position.
3. If a change in rpm setting is desired, move both master (left) and slave propeller governor control
4.

levers together.
If synchronization is not maintained with the switch ON, indicating the actuator has reached the end
of its travel, turn switch OFF and repeat procedures above. With the switch in the OFF pos~tion,the
actuator is returned to the center of its travel.

PERFORMANCE
No change in the airplane performance results from the installation of the synchrophaser

FUNCTIONAL TEST
The rpm range of the synchrophaser may be checked in cruise by slowly moving only the master propeller
control toward both high and low rpm until propellers are no longer synchronized.
Note the range of rpm over which the slave engine remains synchronized with the master engine. This is
the limited range provided for safety and is the maximum speed adjustment range beyond which the slave
engine cannot be adjusted by the synchrophaser.

AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEME


for the
COLLINS AP-106 AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
CATEGORY l
GENERAL
The information in this supplement is FAA-approved material and must be attached to the SuperKingAir200
FAA Approved Airplane Right Manual when the airplane has been modified by installation of the Collins
AP-106 Automatic Flight Control System in accordance with Beechcraft Drawing 101-500004.
The information in this supplement supersedes or adds to the basic FAA Approved Airplane flight Manual
only as set forth within this document. Users of the manual are advised always to refer to the supplement for
possibly superseding information and placarding applicable to operation of the airplane.

LIMITATIONS
1. During autopilot operations, pilot must be seated at the controls with seat belt fastened.
2. Maximum speed limit for autopilot operation is unchanged from the airplane maximum airspeed limit

(VM~MMO).
3. Do not use autopilot under 200 feet above terrain

4. Do not use autopilot or yaw damper during takeoff or landing

5. Do not use propeller in the range of 1750 - 1850 rpm during coupled ILS approach.
6. Autopilot preflight check must be conducted and found satisfactory prior to each flight on which the
autopilot is to be used.

NORMALPROCEDURES
The autopilotiflight director modes are selected on the system control unit by momentary action, pushonlpush-off switches. The lateral modes are HOG, NAV, APPR, and BIC. When not in a lateral mode, the flight
director comrvand bars are biased out of view. The vertical modes are ALT, IAS, and pitch. These are all hold
modes. The pitch hold mode is automatically operational when none of the vertical modes are selected.
Selection of a mode causes that pushbutton to illuminate along the edges. Switch lighting intensity of the
selected mode is adjusted by the dimmer control on the lower right of the system control unit. The dimmer
control also acts as a lamp test when turned fully counter clockwise. For operation at night, the switches have
an overall illumination as adjusted by the OVERHEAD, SUBPANEL AND CONSOLE light control.
The autopilot incorporates its own annunciator panel located just above the flight director display on the
instrument panel. The modes and indications given on the annunciator panel are placarded on the face of the
plastic lenses and illuminate when the respective conditions are indicated. Dimming of the annunciators is
provided for by a switch located adjacent to the annunciator panel.

PREFLIGHT CHECK
The preflight check assures the pilot that the safety and failure warning features of the system are operating
properly.

FAA Approved
Revised: June 17,1977
PIN 101-590010-83

1. Turn on airplane power, an inverter, and the avionics master switch. Check that the vertical gyro has
erected and that the gyrostabilized magnetic compass is slaved (flags out of view). Set the heading
marker under the lubber line, and select HDG mode.
NOTE
The pressure of air flow that normally opposes movement of control surfaces
i s absent during any preflight check. It is possible t o get a hardover control
surface deflection i f an autopilot command is allowed t o remain active for
any appreciable time. I f it is desired t o check operation of the pitchlturn
control knobs, move them only as required t o check control operation, and
then return them t o the center position.

2. Engage the autopilot. Check that the controls resist movement. Move the heading marker t o 10 degrees
right, then 10 degrees left of the lubber line. Observe that the flight director commands a bank toward
the new heading and the control wheel responds in the appropriate direction.

3. Press the AP/YD disconnect button on the control wheel. Observe that the autopilot disengages and
that the flight controls operate freely.

4. Depress the pedestal mounted E LEV TR lM push-switch.

5. Pull the control wheel aft t o mid-travel and engage the autopilot. Push forward lightly on the control
wheel and hold. The trim wheel should move t o the nose-up direction after a few seconds and the
T R l M UP annunciator on the control unit should flash. Continue t o hold the control wheel and press
the control wheel trim switches t o the NOSE DN position. The autopilot should immediately disengage
and the AP T R l M F A I L and MASTER WARNING annunciators should illuminate.
NOTE
The AP TRlM F A l L annunciator will extinguish by depressing the AP/YD
disconnect button on the control wheel and the MASTER WARNING
annunciator by depressing its face.

6. Pull the control wheel aft t o mid-travel and reengage the autopilot. Pull further aft and hold. The trim
wheel should move t o the nose-down direction after a few seconds and the T R l M DN annunciator
should flash. Press the control wheel trim switches to the NOSE UP position. The autopilot should
again immediately disengage and the AP T R l M F A l L and MASTER WARNING annunciators should
illuminate.

7. Pull the control wheel aft t o mid-travel and reengage the autopilot. Depress the pedestal mounted AP
T R l M TEST :witch. Push forward lightly on the control wheel and hold. The t r i m wheel should not
move. The a u ~ s p i l o tshould disengage after approximately five seconds and the AP TRlM F A I L and
MASTER WARNING annunciators should illuminate.

8. Select any lateral mode (HDG, NAV, APPR, BIC), and move the heading marker so that the flight
director commands a bank. Engage the autopilot. Press the go-around button on the left power lever
and observe the GA annunciator illuminates, the autopilot disengages, and the flight director
commands a wings-level, '
7 nose-up attitude.

ENGAGING AUTOPILOT
1. Move the engage-disengage switch lever on the system control unit t o the ENG position.
NOTE
The autopilot and flight director are coupled when both units are engaged.
When coupled, the autopilot accepts guidance commands from the flight
director. When the flight director i s not engaged, the autopilot accepts pitch
and roll commands from the pitchlturn control knobs as selected by the
pilot.

FAA Approved
Revised: June 17, 1977
PIN 101-590010-83

2. The autopilot may be engaged i n any reasonable attitude and i n either the coupled or uncoupled mode.
The autopilot will smoothly acquire the command attitude. When uncoupled, the autopilot will
maintain the bank and pitch attitude at the time of engagement.

MANEUVERING
1. To change flight functions, press the desired mode button on the control unit. The selected mode
button will illuminate along the edges and the autopilot annunciator lights on the instrument panel will
illuminate, indicating the respective modes in operation.

2. In any function except "after glideslope capture", use the autopilot pitch control for climbing and
descending. Movement of the pitch control determines a pitch rate that is proportional to knob
displacement. If any vertical mode button has been selected, it will automatically release when the AP
pitch control knob i s rotated.

3. When the HDG mode i s selected, the autopilot will command the airplane t o turn and maintain the
heading set on the heading marker.

4. Use the autopilot t u r n control t o command a roll rate when the autopilot is engaged. A t the time the
control i s returned t o detent, the autopilot maintains the bank angle (up t o approximately 30 degrees).
Rotating the turn control when the autopilot i s engaged and a lateral mode i s selected (except APPR
and GA modes) will cause the selected lateral modes to release.

CONTROL WHEEL SYNCHRONIZATION


The PlTCH SYNC & CWS button on the pilot's control wheel can be used instead of the pitchlturn control
t o establish the airplane in a desired attitude. Depressing the button causes the autopilot servos to disengage
from the control surfaces. The pilot manually flies the airplane t o the desired attitude. Releasing the PlTCH
SYNC & CWS button reengages the servos and the system then will maintain that attitude.
The ALT or IAS mode will immdiately disengage (if selected) when the PlTCH SYNC & CWS button i s
depressed. I f the autopilot i s coupled to the HDG, NAV, or BIC modes, upon release of the PlTCH SYNC &
CWS button, the autopilot will couple t o the previously selected lateral mode.
NOTE
The APPR mode will not disengage when the PlTCH SYNC & CWS button i s
depressed. When the button i s released, the airplane will return t o the
localizer course and glideslope.

YAW DAMPER OPERATION


1. The rudder channel o f the autopilot may be selected separately for yaw damping by depressing the
YAW DAMP switch on the pedestal. The switch face will illuminate when the yaw damper is engaged.
2. To disengage the yaw damper, press the disconnect button on the pilot's or copilot's control wheel t o
the first detent or press the YAW DAMP switch on the pedestal.

3. Refer t o EMERGENCY PROCEDURES for other means of disconnecting the yaw damper.

DISCONNECTING AUTOPILOT
1. Press the release button on the outboard horn of either control wheel t o the first detent or manually
move the engage-disengage switch lever t o the DIS position to disengage the autopilot for transition t o
manual control.

FAA Approved
Revised: June 17, 1977
PIN 101-590010-83

NOTE
After assuming manual control, f l y the airplane using the same heading,
course, and attitude displays used t o monitor autopilot operation prior to
assuming manual control.

VOR FLYING
1. Tune N A V receiver t o the appropriate frequency.

2. Set the desired course t o or from the station on the pilot's Course Indicator by turning the course
knob.

3. Set the desired beam intercept heading with the HDG knob. The intercept angle with respect t o the
radio beam may be any angle of 90 degrees or less.

4. Depress the N A V button on the system control unit. The system i s then armed t o capture the beam as
indicated by the N I L ARM annunciator light on the instrument panel. A t the point of capture the NIL
CAP annunciator light will some on, indicating that the system has captured the selected course.
Correction for proper tracking of the radial i s automatically provided.
NOTE
Except as described below, do not select a different VOR frequency or course
once a course and intercept have been programmed or capture achieved. To
select a different course or VOR frequency, return t o the HDG mode, select
the course or frequency, return t o the NAV mode, and reset the desired
beam.

5. Radio course may be changed over a VOR station when operating in NAV mode as long as the course
change i s not more than 30 degrees. I f the course change i s more than 30 degrees, HDG mode should be
selected t o establish a new intercept and then N A V mode reselected to s e t up a new capture.
6. The system features linearized VOR deviation when the airplane i s DME equipped and a VORTAC i s
being used. The lateral deviation bar indicates the distance in nautical miles from the selected radial
regardless of how close the airplane is t o the ground station.
For enroute operation i n the NAV mode, full scale deflection of the lateral deviation bar equals 10
miles from the selected radial. For VOR approach operation, the APPR mode should be selected. This
provides linear deviation with the sensitivity limits of the computer increased so that full scale
deflection o f the lateral deviation bar equals 1 mile from the selected radial. APPR mode should be
selected when within 10 miles of the final approach fix. Capture is the same as in N A V mode.

7. Conventional angular deviation of g 0 degrees will be presented on the lateral deviation bar if a DME
signal is not being received or the DME selector is not in the NAV 1 position.

AUTOMATIC APPROACH - FRONT COURSE


NOTE
The localizer and glideslope are captured automatically on the ILS front
course approach. The localizer must be captured before glideslope capture
can occur. The localizer is always captured from a selected heading, but the
glideslope may be captured from any of the vertical modes and from above
(not recommended) or below the glideslope.

1. To intercept the localizer beam, turn the N A V receiver t o the correct ILS frequency. Set the course
selector t o the inbound runway heading, set the heading marker to the desired intercept angle, and
select HDG on the control unit. Any vertical mode may be used. Program DH if installed.

FAA Approved
Revised: June 17, 1977
PiN 101-590010-83

2. Press the APPR button on the control unit. The N I L ARM annunciator light will appear on the
annunciator panel indicating the system i s armed for localizer capture. As the airplane approaches the
localizer beam, the N / L CAP annunciator light will illuminate, indicating the system has captured the
localizer course. When localizer track occurs, the GS ARM annunciator illuminates to verify that the
system is armed for glideslope capture. A t the point of glideslope intercept, the G/S CAP annunciator
light will appear and all vertical modes preselected will be cleared, indicating the system i s in glideslope
operation.

3. The DH lights on the pilot's and copilot's instrument panels will illuminate when the airplane reaches
the decision height previously selected by the pilot on the radio altimeter, i f installed.

4. Go-around mode may be activated by pressing the GA button on the left power lever, and may be
actuated from any lateral mode (HDG, NAV, APPR, B/C) with the following results:
a.

Illuminates the GA light on the autopilot annunciator panel.

b.

Disengages the autopilot.

c.

Gives command presentation for wing level 7' nose up climb attitude.
NOTE
The heading marker may be preset t o the go-around heading after the
localizer i s captured. After go-around airspeed and power settings are
established, select the HDG mode t o clear the go-around mode. Pitch attitude
will remain at that used for go-around until changed with the PITCH SYNC &
CWS button or the selection of a vertical mode.

5. To assume manual control of the airplane for landing, press the disengage button on the control wheel.

B A C K COURSE A P P R O A C H
As in a front course approach, the localizer i s captured automatically. The airplane should be manuevered
into the approach area by setting the heading marker and functioning in the HDG mode.

1. Tune the NAV receiver t o localizer frequency.

2. Set course selector t o front course inbound localizer bearing.

3. Set heading marker for desired intercept heading. Program DH i f installed.


4. Select B/C on the control unit. The N I L ARM and BACK LOC annunciator light will illuminate
indicatinp the system i s armed for the back course localizer approach. Capture and tracking i s the same
as front course.
5. Use the pitch control on the autopilot controller t o establish and maintain the desired rate of descent.
NOTE
The HDG mode should be used within one mile of the runway due to the
largo radio deviations encountered when flying over the localizer transmitter.

6. The DH lights on the pilot's and copilot's instrument panels will illuminate when the airplane reaches
the decision height previously selected by the pilot on the radio altimeter, if installed.

7. If minimum altitude is attained before visual contact i s achieved, the A L T HOLD mode may be used t o
hold altitude until time t o a missed approach has elapsed.

8. Go-around mode may be activated by pressing the GA button on the left power lever, with the results
as specified in the AUTOMATIC APPROACH-FRONT COURSE procedure.

GENERAL
The information in this supplement is FAA-approved material and must be attached to the Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA
Approved Airplane Flight Manual (POHIAFM) when the airplane has been modified by installation of a Brake Deica System in
accordance with Beech-approved data.
The information in this supplement supersedes or adds to the basic POHIAFM only as set forth within this document. Users
of the manual are advised always to refer to the supplement for possibly superseding information and placarding applicable t o
operation of the airplane.

LIMITATIONS
1 The brake de~cesystem is not to be operated above 15C ambient temperature
2 The brake d e l e system is not to be operated longer than 10 minutes (one deice timer cycle) wrth the landmg gear
retracted If operation does not automatically termmate 10 mlnutes after gear retract~on,the system must be manually
selected off
3 Ma~nta~n
85% N, or hlgher during periods of simultaneous brake d e w and wing boot operation If inadequate pneumatic
pressure is developed for proper wing boot rnflation, select brake d e m system M.
4. Both sources of instrument bleed air must be in operation. Select brake deice system off during single engine operation.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
RUDDER BOOST OPERATION
The rudder boost system may not operate when the brake deice system is in use. Consequently, increased rudder-pedal forces
should be anticipated in the event of single-engine operation. Availability of the rudder boost system will be restored to normal
when the brake deice system is turned off.

lLLUMlNATlON OF BLEED AIR FAlL ANNUNCIATOR


If either BLEED AIR FAlL light illuminates in flight, shut off the INSTR & ENVlR bleed air valves on the affected engine. Select
brake deice system off.

NOTE
BLEED AIR FAlL lights may momentarily illuminate during simultaneous wing boot and brake
deice operation at low N1 speeds. if lights immediately extinguish, they may be disregarded.

NORMAL PROCEDURES
AFTER STARTING
I f Brakes Require Deicing:
1. Bleed Air Valves

- OPEN

2. Brake Deice - ON (check annunciator illuminated; check for operation)

FAA Approved
Revised: August, 1993
P/N 101 590010-107

NOTE
Brake deicx? control valves may become inoperative if valves are not cyded pericdidly. One
cycle of operation is required daily regardless of weather conditions.

3. Condition Levers HIGH IDLE

NOTE
Once brakes have been deiced, the condition levers may be returned to LOW IDLE.

BEFORE LANDING
If it is pssible that brakes may be reslrided by ice accumulations from previous ground operation or inflighl ia'ng conditions:

1. Brake Deice - ON (check annunciator illuminated)

NOTE
If automatic timer has terminated brake deice operation after last retraction of the landing gear,
the landing gear must be extended to obtain further operation of the system.

PERFORMANCE
Use of the brake deice system during certain ambient conditions may reduce available engine power. Consult the MINIMUM
TAKE-OFF POWER chart in the FAA Performance Section of the POHIAFM to determine the minimum torque value permitted for take-df. If this value cannot be obtained, without exceeding engine limitations, the brake deice system must be selected
uff until after the take-off has been completed.
Use of the bake deice system in flight will resutt in an ITT rise of approximately 20C. Observe ITT limitations when setting
climb and cruise power.

WEIGHT AND BALANCEjEQUIPMENT LIST


No change.

SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION
H i g temperature engine compressor bleed air is directed onto the brake assemblies by a distributor manifold on each main
landing gear. This high pressure air is supplied by the standard bleed air pneumatic system which also provides regulated
pressure to the surface deice system and vacuum source. High temperature air from the pneumatic system is routed through
a solenoid contra valve in each main wheel well, through a flexible hose on the main gear strut, and to the distribution manifold around the brake assembly.
A switch on the pilot's subpanel, placarded BRAKE DEICE, controls the brake deice system. When this switch is activated,
both solenoid control valves are opened and an indicator light, BRAKE DEICE ON, on the lower annunciator panel is illumlnated to advise the system is in operation.
The brake deice system may be operated as required on a continuous basis with the landing gear extended provided the
appropriate LIMITATIONS are observed. To avoid excessive wheel well temperatures with the landing gear retracted, a timer
is incorporatedto automatically terminate system operation approximately ten minutes after the landing gear is retracted. The
system indicator light should be monitored and the control switch selected OFF when the light extinguishes or if brake deice
operation has not automatically terminated within approximately ten minutes. The landing gear must be extended before the
timer is reset and the system can be activated again.

HANDLING, SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

GARMIN GNS 530/530W SELF


STUDY GUIDE

INTRODUCTION
Nearly all Dynamic Aviation aircraft are equipped with either the Garmin GNS 530 or the GNS 530W,
which is the WAAS capable version of the 530. These units are the primary source for
communication, ground-based navigation, and satellite based navigation in our aircraft. It is
therefore critical to our operation that all pilots have a thorough understanding of the unit.
Additionally, some aircraft are also equipped with a secondary unit, the Garmin GNS 430 or 430W.
Because operation of all of the Garmin units is similar, this training is geared toward the Garmin GNS
530. Differences of the other units will be covered at the end of the packet under Differences
Training.
COURSE OBJECTIVE
This course is designed to assist the pilot in becoming proficient in the use of the Garmin 530 using
the GNS 530 Pilots Guide and Reference, the PC based trainer and AIM Section 1-1-19 and 1-1-21.

DEFINITIONS
Active Leg The leg that is currently being used for navigation. The Active Leg is defined by the
current FROM and TO waypoints and sequences to the next waypoint. The Active Leg Line displays
the Active Leg as a magenta line on the screen.
BRG (bearing) - The compass direction from the present position to a destination waypoint.
DTK (desired track) - The course between the active FROM and TO waypoints.
TKE (track angle error) - The angle difference between the desired track and the current track. An
arrow indicates the proper direction to turn to reduce TKE to zero.
TRK (track) - The direction of movement relative to a ground position. Also referred to as ground
track.
VSR (vertical speed required) - The vertical speed necessary to descend/climb from current position
and altitude to a defined target position and altitude, based upon the current ground speed.
XTK (crosstrack error) - The distance the aircraft is off a desired course in either direction, left or
right.

ADDITIONAL POINTS TO REMEMBER


The following items are not mentioned in the Garmin Quick Reference Guide, but are important
points to remember.
RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) is automatic on the GNS 530, but can also
be checked manually. This is accomplished on the page. RAIM should be checked if you
expect to need the GPS to complete the approach at your arrival airport. Since RAIM is simply
a function of satellite position versus aircraft position at a specific time and place (your
destination at your ETA), it can easily and accurately be predicted by the unit prior to
departure.
While the Garmin GNS 530 is able to identify DME fixes with the GPS, there is not a DME
receiver built into the unit. As such, GPS fixes are determined by along track distances (ATD)
to a fix instead of slant range distances of a traditional DME receiver. It is therefore necessary
for an approach procedure to be published with a GPS overlay if a DME was previously
required for the approach. This is designated on the Approach Plate with or GPS in the title
of the approach (ex: VOR/DME or GPS RWY 15).
A GPS unit must be IFR approved and have a current database to be used in lieu of an ADF or
DME. Another specific approval is required to use a GPS for Approaches. (All Dynamic GNS
530 aircraft are approved for approaches assuming equipment is operable and the database is
current) Finally, for the purposes of filing an alternate the GPS may not be substituted for an
ADF if the ADF is required for the approach.
The Default Nav page includes important information that is not found on the Map page. This
includes:
o The Active Leg Line
o The CDI
o Additional Data Field
Unlike the angular limits used on a mechanical CDI coupled to a VOR or ILS receiver, full scale
limits for this CDI are defined by a GPS-derived distance (0.3, 1.0, or 5.0 nm), as indicated at
both ends of the CDI. By default, the CDI scale automatically adjusts to the desired limits
based upon the current phase of flight: oceanic, enroute, terminal area, or approach. In
automatic operation, the GNS 530 switches from enroute to terminal mode within 30 NM
of the destination airport. It then switches from terminal to approach mode within 2 NM of
the FAF. CDI Mode can be read in the lower left hand side of the GNS 530 screen.

The function of the OBS key is probably one of the most important concepts to grasp on the
GNS 530. For most phases of flight the GNS 530 is in an auto-sequencing mode which means
that when reaching a waypoint on the flight plan the GPS automatically proceeds to the next
waypoint. This function is relatively intuitive and is what most pilots are used to when using a
GPS. However, during an approach the GPS will not auto-sequence past the Missed Approach
Point (MAP). Therefore when the aircraft reaches the MAP, the GNS 530 will go into
Suspend mode, and will stop the navigation at the MAP. In order to fly the missed approach
procedure the pilot is required to re-activate the auto-sequencing to continue navigation
past the MAP. This is accomplished on the GNS 530 by pressing the OBS button. Another
function of the OBS button is to create a straight-in approach line on the GPS. Press the OBS
button to place the GPS in OBS mode and turn the nav needle to the inbound course of the
runway.
The CDI will also display your distance off-course, called your cross-track error (XTK). While
within the scale of the CDI it can be determined using the scale range. Once you exceed the
scale range, cross track error will be displayed as a digital readout in miles and tenths of a
mile.
ADDITIONAL DATA AND SETUP ITEMS ON THE GNS 530
Garmin organizes the GNS 530 information into Page Groups which are selected using the
large (outer) right knob. Each Page Group is then further separated into individual pages
which are selected using the small (inner) right knob. In order to select an item on a page,
push in the small right knob to get the cursor to appear, turn the knob to the desired data
field and press the ENT button. The next item has an example of this. Subsequent items will
simply be denoted as: Group pg. # TITLE OF PAGE -> Name of Item.
The pilot may manually select the desired CDI scale setting. From any page, press and hold
the CLR Key to select the Default NAV Page. Turn the large right knob to select the AUX Page
Group. AUX appears along the bottom of the screen. Turn the small right knob to select the
SETUP page. Push the small knob in to put the cursor on CDI/Alarms and hit enter (AUX pg.
3 SETUP -> CDI/ Alarms).

The GNS 530 can be configured to display tracks and bearings in either magnetic or true. This
is accomplished on the UNITS/POSITION page (AUX pg. 3 SETUP -> Units/ Position). The
unit has three settings, AUTO, TRUE, and USER. AUTO adjusts unit information to
magnetic by using a computation. TRUE sets the unit to use true heading. USER allows the
user to adjust the variation manually.

PART III: COURSE EXERCISES


As you complete the course exercises make sure you can accomplish the following:
Using BRG and TRK how can you determine whether you will stay on course; get off course; or
get back on course before, at or after the active waypoint?
Be able to predict what the GPS will do in any flight plan or key stroke sequence.

General Instructions and Information:


o The PC trainer will not simulate VOR or localizer frequencies, therefore there will not be a
valid CDI indication with VLOC mode selected
o Fly all exercises using the HDG or NAV feature of the simulated autopilot.
o Since high speeds complicate turn advisories, set airspeed to typical King Air speeds unless
you need to save time on long legs
o Pause by setting airspeed to zero
o Reset the upper left data field on the Default Nav page to BRG. DTK is supplied in other places
that do not require the use of a data field. BRG is much more helpful than DTK in that data
field in almost all cases.

Exercise 1: RNAV (GPS) RWY 5 at KTRI (GPS stand alone approach)


This first exercise will be guided with screen shots.
Set up:
o Initialize position to Elizabethton, TN (0A9)
o Press D to KTRI
o Refer to the GPS 5 approach at Tri Cities (KTRI) included in the following pages

Options Menu -> Initialize Position

Press FPL button

Turn Sm. Rt. Knob

Enter 0A9 to KTRI

Enter 0A9and press ENT

Verify 0A9 to KTRI shown above CDI

Fly
o ATC: Depart Elizabethton on a heading of 2400 , Maintain 5000
Set heading to 2400 (Place cursor over the heading knob on the HSI, press and hold
the left mouse button and move the mouse to the left or right) and select HDG
mode.
Set Airspeed to 150 kts
Set Altitude to 5000

Set heading to 240

Rev. 1 04-03-2008

Select HDG mode, 5000, 150 kt

- 10 -

o ATC: Upon reaching 5000, you are cleared for the Tri Cities GPS 5 approach via direct
HOSEM intersection.
Load and Activate Approach
ATC expects a course reversal at HOSEM unless you have specifically
worked out a straight in with them. Understand the SELECT HOLD option
that pops up when selecting HOSEM. Selecting YES will yield one complete
hold circuit. Selecting NO will sequence you straight in.
Approach can be activated because you are cleared to a fix on the approach
(HOSEM). If you were only told to expect the approach, you would select
Load instead of Activate in order to continue navigating to the next fix on
your flight plan (in this case, KTRI).

Press PROC button

Select HOSEM

Choose Select Approach?

Select Yes?

Choose RNAV 05

Select Activate?

Fly the approach


Once the approach is activated, the GNS 530 should be navigating to
HOSEM. Set your CDI in the simulator HSI in order to match the GNS 530
desired track (DTK), which is 2690 in the sample picture below. Select NAV
in the simulator autopilot and the aircraft should turn toward HOSEM.

Note DTK (269 )

Rev. 1 04-03-2008

Set 269 on your HSI

Select NAV

- 11 -

The GNS 530 will not navigate an aircraft through a hold or a procedure
turn. This must be done manually using HDG. As you near HOSEM set your
heading bug to the appropriate hold/procedure turn heading, in this case
2280. When you see a HOLD PARALLEL flash in the lower right corner
select HDG mode in the simulator autopilot.

Set Heading to 228

Watch for HOLD PARALLEL

Select HDG

Entering the hold, OBS mode will automatically switch to SUSP mode as
denoted over the OBS button. A timer will begin to count up after entering
the hold. Once established in the hold, you can begin your descent to
3600. Set the HSI to the inbound course, 0480. At 1 min +/- for wind
correction, set heading bug to begin the left turn inbound.

Note Timer begins

Begin descent

Set inbound course

Once selected on an intercept course, select NAV on the simulator


autopilot. The GNS 530 will capture the inbound course and auto sequence
to the remainder of the approach.

Parallel hold intercepting inbound

Rev. 1 04-03-2008

On intercept hdg, course set

Select NAV

- 12 -

Approaching HOSEM inbound, the GNS 530 will display NEXT DTK 048.
Double check the inbound course on your HSI. After passing HOSEM, you
can descend to 3400 for AYABU. Be certain to watch for the CDI scale to
change to APR at 2 nm from the FAF (AYABU). This signifies RAIM is
acceptable and should be a call-out by the crew. If the CDI scale does NOT
change, RAIM is assumed unacceptable and a missed approach MUST be
initiated no later than the FAF.

Approaching HOSEM

Descend after HOSEM

Note APR mode 2 nm from FAF

Passing AYABU descent may begin to the MDA of 2260. For this training
exercise, this approach will end in a missed approach. The RNAV (GPS)
RWY 5 includes a Visual Descent Point 2.3 NM from Runway 5. The GNS
530 does not include the VDP in the approach procedure. Therefore the
GNS 530 will not end the approach until it reaches the MAP. As you near
the MAP, the GNS 530 will display APPROACHING WPT.

Passing AYABU, Leg Line turns magenta, begin descent to MDA

The GNS 530 does not auto-sequence to the missed approach procedure at
the MAP. Instead, it goes into Suspend mode (SUSP) at the MAP. This is
verified by the lack of an active leg line (white dashed line instead of
magenta solid line), a FROM indication, SUSP displayed above the OBS
button, and the ETE and DIS start counting up.

No Active Leg Line

FROM flag

SUSP mode

In order to activate the missed approach procedure the pilot is required to


press the OBS button to change the SUSP mode back to auto-sequencing of
the missed approach procedure. Once correct missed approach sequencing
is initiated, you will see the active leg line appear, the TO/FROM flag shift to
a TO indication, the SUSP indication will disappear and NEXT DTK 0490 will
appear in the lower right corner.

Press OBS

SUSP disappears

Active Leg Line appears

TO indication

NEXT DTK 049 appears


Make sure the CDI is set to the NEXT DTK provided, in this case 049 0
Enter the hold at BUYBA just like you did at HOSEM. Advise ATC of intent.

Questions:
What approach category applies to your plane? (See the Aircraft Approaches Category
section on page A2 of a Terminal Procedures book)
Which minimums apply to your nav equipment?
What does the V in the profile view indicate?

Exercise 2: ILS 23 TRI (Non-GPS approach)


Set up:
o Initialize position to Elizabethton, TN (0A9)
o Press D KTRI
o Refer to the ILS RWY 23 approach at Tri Cities (KTRI) below
Fly
o ATC: Depart Elizabethton on a heading of 0600 , Maintain 7000
Set heading to 0600 (Place cursor over the heading knob on the HSI, press and hold
the left mouse button and move the mouse to the left or right) and select HDG
mode.
Set Airspeed to 150 kts
Set Altitude to 7000
o ATC: Upon reaching 7000, proceed direct Holston Mountain (HMV). You are cleared for
the Tri Cities ILS 23 approach via Holston Mountain Transition.
Notes:
o If you are doing a different approach at the same airport there is no need to re-enter the
airport as a waypoint. Simply open the PROC group to access the new approach
o Note that the localizer frequency (109.9) is supplied to the NAV standby bin when the
approach is either loaded or activated
o En route to HMV the CDI should be set to the DTK given on the Flight Plan page. If DTK is
not a data field on the flight plan page, reset a data field to DTK. There is no need to
waste a data field on the Default Nav page with DTK. Alternatively, if the CDI is centered,
you can simply set your CDI needle to the BRG
o When reaching MOCCA IAF follow the turn advisory. Set the CDI to the NEXT DTK and
leave the CDI in GPS mode. Outbound from MOCCA is a GPS navigation leg. There is no
point in flying the localizer back course here since the outbound course is provided in the
GPS flight plan. This is one of only several times that you will navigate with the GPS
showing a FROM flag. The FROM flag will indicate on the HSI and on the internal CDI at
the bottom of the Default Nav page
o Remember to wait for the active leg to shift at MOCCA before beginning the descent to
4000
o When outbound from MOCCA there is no need to start a timer. Use the ETE in the lower
right data field as a pseudo-timer. Its not exact, but its a reasonable substitute and
requires no pilot action. Do not increase your workload or scan requirements unless
absolutely necessary.
o The GNS 530 will prompt START PROC TURN at an ETE of approximately 50-55 seconds but
will not offer the heading unless you are WAAS enabled. Turn to 0930 based on your
readiness, but do not go outside the 10 nm ring which is indicated graphically with a
magenta arc and digitally in the DIS data field.
o The left turn back to 2730 need not be timed. When the XTK indicated on the internal CDI
reaches 2.0 begin the turn. This is a great trick because its already in your scan and is
much more accurate than using time. The internal CDI conveniently transitions from
analog to digital when it pegs. The internal CDI is not available on the Map Page, which is
another reason to use the Default Nav page for most operations.
Rev. 1 04-03-2008

- 16 -

o The method of navigation during the PT offset is via published vectors, therefore this is the
time to make sure the localizer frequency is active and identified if you have not already
done so; CDI is selected to VLOC; and the CDI needle is set to the inbound course. Dont
rely on the auto setting feature to make any of these changes for you. The previous pilot
may have disabled them. Be the pilot.
o The pc trainer will not provide VLOC data to the HSI. If you want proper HSI indications
you will need to leave the CDI in GPS mode for these exercises only. IMPORTANT: In the
plane you may not navigate on the final approach course on a non-GPS approach in GPS
mode.
o The final approach course supplied by the GNS 530 may differ from the published course
by a few degrees. Use the GNS 530 supplied course; its more accurate.
o Since this is not a GPS approach you will not get the APR annunciation, however the
internal CDI sensitivity will ramp down to 0.3 nm.
o To activate missed approach navigation press the OBS button to reactivate automatic
flight plan sequencing to the missed approach waypoint and scan for the NEXT DTK
advisory in the lower right corner. Thats the course you will intercept to fly to the missed
approach waypoint, so set the CDI to that course. You must also press the CDI button to
select GPS nav data to the HSI since navigation to the missed approach hold point is
always supplied by the GPS regardless of the type of approach.
Questions:
o How do you know from the Default Nav page whether you are crossing MOCCA as an
initial approach fix or a final approach fix? On some approaches the same fix can also be
the missed approach hold fix. I would think one should know these things.
o Do you begin the missed approach at the decision height or when the SUSP annunciator
illumines?
o How can you use TRK and BRG on an ILS approach to enhance your ability to fly an
awesome localizer course?
o If your glide slope is inoperative, can you use the EAVER minimums for the localizer?
o When holding, always set the CDI to the inbound course, just as you did in the dark ages
before GPS existed.

Exercise 3: GPS-A VBW (Overlay approach with circle to land)


Set up:
o Initialize position to Staunton, VA /Shenandoah Valley Regional (KSHD)
o Press D to KVBW
o Refer to the NDB or GPS-A approach at Bridgewater (KVBW) below
Fly
o ATC: Depart Shenandoah on runway heading. Maintain 5000
Set heading to 2250 (Place cursor over the heading knob on the HSI, press and hold
the left mouse button and move the mouse to the left or right) and select HDG
mode.
Set Airspeed to 150 kts
Set Altitude to 5000
o ATC: Upon reaching 5000, proceed direct Bridgewater NDB (VBW). You are cleared for
the GPS-A approach into Bridgewater.
Notes:
o Since KVBW is close by, try activating it as follows:
Press D
Using the right outer knob move the cursor to the NRST window
Using the right inner knob scroll down to KVBW
Enter
Enter
o This is called a vector to altitude clearance since you are assigned to fly a heading until
reaching an assigned altitude. When reaching the assigned altitude your clearance is
direct to VBW. Some pilots think they will receive vectors to final in this instance, but
since the clearance takes you to VBW, which is an initial approach fix, you should expect to
do the published course reversal
o Some pilots will wait to activate the approach until reaching 5,000, but in this case you
actually have more data available if you activate the approach before taking off
o BRG provides situational awareness and allows the pilot to proceed directly to the fix
without having to manipulate the GPS, which should be avoided at critical times when
possible.
o When reaching 5,000 note the BRG and turn the plane to track that direction, then press
PROC, ENTER, ENTER to reactivate the approach from your current position. Set your CDI
to BRG since your CDI should be centered at this time.
o Alternatively, you can press D , set your CDI to the course indicated in the CRS window on
the bottom right side of the screen, then ENTER, ENTER. This is another way of
reactivating the approach from present position.
o You will be doing the PT. Although the clearance began with a vector, you navigate to the
IF on your own once reaching 5,000. What starts with a vector does not always end with
vectors to final.
o ICNAK is a Computer Navigation Fix (CNF), or Capture Fix. The GPS needs it to transition
CDI scaling to APR sensitivity
o In a TAWS equipped plane you will get terrain warnings if you descend below 3,600
before reaching ICNAK. You should heed them. Leaving 3,600 for MDA at ICNAK still
allows a reasonable descent rate.
Rev. 1 04-03-2008

Questions:
o If your approach speed is 121 kts or more, what MDA is applicable?
o Do you need to do the procedure turn if you are cleared via the Montebello (MOL)
transition?
o Does the NDB have to be operational in order to execute this approach?

Exercise 4: GPS 23 SHD (Straight in approach)


Set up:

Initialize position to KVBW

Set heading to 1500


ATC: You are cleared to the Shenandoah airport via the Bridgewater departure procedure (Climb
in VBW holding pattern, SW, 0350 inbound, to 4,000 before proceeding on course), direct ASGOF,
cleared for the GPS 23 approach
Notes:
So far there has been no need to use the Flight Plan group. You could, but it would have
added keystrokes. Stroke fewer keys and fly more is what I say. When you are cleared to
your destination via direct with no intermediate waypoints there is no need to use a Flight
Plan. If your clearance involves more than one waypoint or you suspect more will be
added to your clearance, then it pays to construct a flight plan
In this case you will need to build a flight plan so that you can include VBW for the DP
followed by the approach at SHD
There is no need to enter your starting point in the flight plan. The GPS knows where it is.
Enter VBW as the first waypoint
Enter KSHD as the next waypoint
Open the PROC group and select the GPS 23 approach via ASGOV. Load, dont activate.
Now look at the magenta indication on the left side of the Flight Plan page to determine
the active leg
If it is not direct to VBW, turn the cursor on, highlight VBW, press D, ENTER, ENTER
VBW is now the active waypoint via direct.
To select the 0350 course for the hold on the departure procedure simply press the OBS
button enabling manual course selection via the HSI and also disabling automatic
waypoint sequencing. Then select the holding course using the OBS knob on the HSI
Select the Default Nav page and note the Active Leg Line. It should indicate that you have
manually selected the 0350 course to VBW
Since this is not a published hold the GPS will not offer a hold entry and will not supply a
timer. Make your own decision on the hold entry and use ETE as a pseudo-timer
Once airborne and turned to the outbound (i.e., the tail of the CDI needle), monitor ETE
and turn inbound at approximately 1:15. This will roughly account for diagonal distance
and provide a reasonable inbound time.
The departure procedure specifies on course when reaching 4,000. When you determine
that you will not need another holding pattern to reach 4,000 simply push the OBS button
to reactivate automatic waypoint sequencing. The inbound course will remain the active
leg until the turn anticipation feature determines that the turn is immanent. It will then
offer NEXT DTK and TURN TO advisories for the remainder of the flight plan up to the
missed approach point.
It can be difficult or even impossible to land from a straight in non-precision approach if
you dont reach the MDA until the missed approach point. The pilot should be aware of
the requirements to descend from the MDA to the runway using normal maneuvers. Here
is a simple method I have come up with for determining how far out from the missed
approach point I need to reach the MDA. Its easier than you might think.
From the minimums section of the approach procedure determine the AGL value for
Rev. 1 04-03-2008

- 21 -

MDA. For the SHD GPS 23 approach procedure below you will see that it is 379 for
approach category C.
Drop the final digit and use the remaining digits in seconds from missed approach
point. In this case drop the 9, leaving you with 37
Plan your descent to reach MDA no later than 37 seconds before the missed approach
point by referencing ETE and your VSI
Heres the math:
o
379 ft
=
x ft = 615 feet per minute
37 seconds 60 seconds
Using this method, regardless of the AGL value, will yield a descent rate on the order
of 600 fpm
Questions:
Where do you find textual departure procedure?
What indication is required before descending inside ELVOJ?
What should the HSI be set to during the hold?
If you are cleared for the approach via the LURAY IAF will you expect to do a procedure
turn?
Are you allowed to do a procedure turn?

Exercise 5: Non-published en route hold


Set up:

Initialize position to KVBW

Set heading to 1500


ATC Instructions: You are cleared to the Shenandoah airport via the Bridgewater transition,
STAUT, direct. Expect ILS 5
Notes:

You were not cleared for the DP


When you hear the word transition, dont try to manually enter that waypoint, simply go
to the approach and look for the transition
The flight plan page doesnt help in this situation
Activate KSHD via the D button
Open PROC
Activate the approach via the VBW transition
You must fly the actual flight plan leg provided from VBW to SH rather than reactivating
SH after airborne to center the needle since you are cleared for the transition, not direct
to SH
ATC Instructions: There is an IFR departure off Shenandoah. Hold NW of SH on your present
course, maintain 5,000, EFC 2120Z
Notes:

The GPS will sequence to the PT outbound if you take no action


To disable automatic waypoint sequencing push the OBS button
Now you are set up for the hold
This is not a published hold, so it is not in the data base. Sorry, slugger, there will be no
hold depicted on the GPS, there will be no entry suggested, and there will be no pop up
timer
Who needs the picture? Figure the entry out on your own. And use ETE for a timer
When cleared to continue with the approach push the OBS button again to reactivate
automatic waypoint sequencing

Questions:
What defines a transition?
What other transitions are depicted on the SHD ILS 5 approach?
When would you switch the CDI to VLOC if you were cleared for the approach via MOL?
If the GPS fails but you still have valid localizer and glide slope information, can you do the
approach? Explain

Exercise 6: DME Arc


Set up:

Initialize position to KMKJ

Set heading to 0720


ATC: You are cleared to the Dublin airport (PSK) via direct OYUYU, direct Dublin, expect the GPS 6
approach via the DME arc
Notes:
Follow the advisories in the lower right hand corner of the display
Set the CDI as per the advisories and hold a heading that will yield a track that will keep
the course centered
Since BRG always give the direction from the airplane to the active waypoint, it will not be
useful while on an arc since the GPS computes small segments to track
ATC Instructions: Lets assume you had to divert for weather or traffic and now ATC offers you a
vector to join the arc
Notes:

Open the Flight Plan


Turn on the cursor
Highlight the dme arc line
Push D
You will be offered an option to ACTIVATE LEG
Press ENTER
Fly the vector until joining the arc

Questions:
How far out (ETE) from the missed approach point should you arrive at MDA in order to
execute a landing using normal maneuvers?
Is the GPS distance data (DIS) fully substitutable for DME on this approach?

CONCLUDING REMARKS: The Garmin 530 is a complex computer and will gladly eat your lunch if you
let it. These remarks are intended to equip you to eat your own lunch.
1. Know the box better than you think you need to know it.
2. Think about where you are and where you should be going before asking it to tell you those
things
3. Dont trust the data until you have confirmed it
4. Anticipate every indication on the GPS to prevent being led along in ignorance
5. Plan ahead so that youre not tempted to push buttons and twist knobs when you should be
flying the plane
6. When changing the planes attitude, stabilize the plane in the new attitude (pitch, bank and
yaw; airspeed, altitude, VSI and heading) before looking at or manipulating the box. If youre
entering a turn, complete the roll in and stabilize the plane in pitch and bank before looking at
the GPS. If youre initiating a descent, stabilize the plane on heading, airspeed, and descent
rate before looking at the GPS.
7. Allow yourself only three actions (twist, twist, push, or some variation on that theme) on the
box before resuming instrument or outside scan
8. If lost in the myriad of pages, get back to the default nav page and start over
