NORMAL PROCEDURES
NOTE
This Normal checklist is designed only for training
purposes. Where checklist procedures differ from
the Airplane Flight Manual, the Airplane Flight
Manual takes preference.
NOTE
Items marked with an asterisk are to be accomplished
on the first flight of the day with the same crew.
The aircraft exterior and interior preflight checks must be completed and
the chocks removed before closing the door and starting the engines.
COCKPIT CHECK
1. Park Brake ..................................................... INTERMEDIATE DETENT
OVERHEAD PANELS
1. Circuit Breakers....................................................................................... IN
Check that all circuit breakers are in before powering the aircraft. Circuit
breakers are not to be used as switches, so as to preclude premature wear
of these protective devices.
In order to save battery power when turning on the batteries later on in the
checklist, these master switches should be placed off, ensuring that the
switches are “in” or flush with the surrounding panel.
This action satisfies APU start interlock circuitry requirement and excites
and APU generator field circuit.
This prevents the needless discharge of the batteries while the Power Off
checklist is complete.
These test buttons are depressed individually to test the voltage of the
respective auxiliary batteries on the overhead panel left voltmeter.
Minimum voltage is 24 volts.
This test button is depressed to test the voltage of this optional battery.
Minimum voltage is 24 volts.
This limits battery discharge when they are placed on later in the checklist.
The engine computers must be in the auto position for proper starting of
the engines. Ensure that the CMPTR lights on the master warning panel
are out when electrical power is applied to the aircraft.
Ensure that the switch used to connect Group 1 fuel tanks with Group 3
fuel tanks is in the neutral position.
This limits battery discharge when they are placed on later in the checklist.
It is required that the APU bleed-air switch be in the OFF position before
APU start. This ensures proper loading of the APU after its start.
Generator load, associated with the charging of the batteries, must be
considered before selecting APU bleed on. It is recommended that a one-
minute waiting period be observed before selecting bleed air on after APU
is started and on speed.
This switch is in the horizontal (open) position in order that the entire
bleed-air manifold can be supplied by all three engines and the APU.
21. Crew and Passenger Air-Conditioning Valve Switches (2) .............. AUTO
This precludes unwanted anti-ice system operation after APU or engine start.
This position ensures minimal battery discharge when they are turned on
and prevents overheating of the pitot static components.
This position ensures minimal battery discharge when they are turned on
and prevents wipers from operating on a dry windshield.
This position ensures minimal battery discharge when they are turned on.
CONSOLE/OVERHEAD PANEL
LEFT CONSOLE
1. Data Loader .............................................................................. OFF (OUT)
The FMS data loader should be turned off until such time as the aircraft is
powered by other than batteries and the data loader is needed for updating
the flight management system.
IRS 1 should be off until the aircraft is powered by other than batteries or
unless the checklist calls for the IRS to be turned on for programming. If
IRS 3 is installed, it also should be off.
Set the pilot’s radio jackbox for the proper radio transmitter/receiver and
mask communication positions.
The EFIS dim controls, located in the front of each pilot, should be turned
fully clockwise to the bright position before powering the aircraft. The
brightness of the instruments can be adjusted after the aircraft is powered
by other than batteries and the master avionics, FMS, and switches are
turned on.
If two radar control panels are installed, the master switches should be
turned off until the checklist calls for the radar to be turned on. This
action will save the batteries and prevent damage to equipment and/or
injury to personnel.
This action ensures proper positioning of the brake selector valves before
engine start.
The temperature controllers can be selected to AUTO and set to the desired
temperature levels unique to individual user needs. Usually, a setting at 10
to 11 o’clock on the automatic controller is standard for most users.
The DN position (green index) allows that the cabin will be manually
commanded to an increased pressure condition in the event of electrical
failure of the automatic cabin pressurization controller. This position
commands a cabin altitude rate of descent of approximately 1,000 feet
per minute.
This allows for the normal operation of the cabin pressurization controller.
6. Clock......................................................................................... CHECKED
This switch, when not guarded and in the override position, disables the
“TOO LOW FLAPS” warning given by the GPWS system. This warning
usually occurs when on final approach and when the aircraft is not
configured in the SLATS + 40° flaps configuration.
RIGHT CONSOLE
1. Passenger Oxygen Valve Selector .............................................. NORMAL
Placing the passenger oxygen valve in the normal position will allow
automatic deployment of the passenger oxygen masks should the cabin
altitude exceed 10,000 feet during flight.
• The flight is being flown either above or below 41,000 feet. If flying
above 41,000 feet, one of the pilots must breathe oxygen.
Set the copilot’s radio jackbox for the proper radio transmitter/receiver and
mask communication positions.
IRS 2 should be off until the aircraft is powered by other than batteries or
if the checklist calls for IRS programming.
This lever must be placed in the full forward position. This lever isolates
the crew and passenger air-conditioning systems for normal operations.
This lever has been removed on SN 165 and subsequent.
This lever connects the cabin with the nose compartment for ventilation of
the nose cone in flight. On later aircraft (SN 70 and subsequent), the nose
lever has been removed.
PEDESTAL
1. Power Levers (All 3) .................................................................... CUTOFF
The power levers are placed in the cutoff position in order for the engines
to be started.
VHF 1 may be wired directly to the A2 electrical bus, bypassing the left
avionics master switch, if a VHF 3 is not installed.
The mechanical circuit breaker, located aft of the emergency elevator trim
switch, must be in the down position in order to provide electrical power
for operation of the normal elevator trim system.
Ensure that the flap-slat handle is fully forward in the clean position prior to
starting the engines or applying pressure to either the No. 1 or No. 2 system.
This switch controls the emergency operation of the outboard slats and
should be used only in the event of a main system malfunction. Therefore,
the switch should be kept in the off and guarded position.
Check that the nose landing gear emergency extension handle, located on
the left aft side portion of the center pedestal, is fully down and stowed in
the clips provided. The main landing gear extension handles, located in the
floor area to the right and left of the pilot and copilot seats respectively,
must be stowed by pushing down on the handles and covered by their
access doors.
CAUTION
Check the battery temperatures as follows:
NOTE
On the average, the rate of battery cooling on the
ground is 1°F per minute.
Minimum battery voltage for APU start is 23 volts and 22 volts for main
engine start.
The standby horizon battery voltage test button is located beneath the
left voltmeter on the overhead panel. The reading should be 24
volts minimum.
This rotary switch controls the bus tie relay, which in turn controls the BUS
TIED light on the master warning panel. The switch is placed in the tied
position to tie the left and right main DC buses together for engine start.
Pull the parking brake handle to the first detent, hesitate, and then, using
three fingers, release the first detent lock and pull the parking brake
handle to the second detent. This technique is recommended for all
parking brake handle operations to preclude pulling the parking brake
handle through the first detent when emergency stopping is required
during landing or taxi operations. The No. 2 position allows 2,175 psi of
No. 2 hydraulic system pressure to be applied to the brakes for holding
the aircraft in position. The No. 2 position is recommended for use after
the aircraft is brought to a complete stop. The No. 1 position of the
parking brake handle applies 800 psi of the No. 2 hydraulic system
pressure to the brakes and is not recommended for holding the aircraft.
The #2 P BK light should be on and steady. If the light is flashing, there
is less than 1,200 psi remaining in the parking brake accumulator, and is
not sufficient for holding the parking brakes. Until the APU or another
source of electrical power is available to the aircraft, the aircraft should
be chocked until electrical power other than the batteries is available.
When other electrical power is available, use the standby hydraulic pump
to charge the No. 2 hydraulic system, and reset the parking brake handle
to the No. 2 position after the #2 P BK light stops flashing.
Set the test control switch, located on the master warning panel, to the
FIRE position. All detection and warning systems will be tested
simultaneously and the aural warning will sound. If one of the systems is
malfunctioning, the corresponding light will not come on. During the test,
the test control must be held in the FIRE position until the FIRE BAG
COMP smoke detection light comes on, that may require up to 4 seconds.
Do not silence the aural warning until the FIRE BAG COMP light comes
on. After silencing the aural warning, release the test switch back to the
center. It may take up to a maximum of 10 seconds for the FIRE BAG
COMP light to extinguish.
Aircraft with SB 125 will have a toggle switch and circular amber light
normally located on the copilot’s instrument panel. The valve controlled
by the toggle switch must be closed before takeoff.
Move the No. 2 power lever from the cutoff position, and advance it
toward the takeoff position. The T/O CONFIG and ENG 2 FAIL lights
should illuminate. Move the power lever back to the cutoff position, and
the lights should extinguish.
A—APU Start
1. Booster 2 .......................................................................................... ST-BY
FUEL 2 Light ............................................................................. OUT
After placing the booster pump switch to ST-BY, observe that the FUEL 2
light on the master warning panel extinguishes.
Depress the APU master pushbutton on the overhead panel, and it should
illuminate green.
Do not hold the APU start pushbutton in for more than 1 second. The
holding coil, if operating properly, should hold the starter engaged
through the start sequence. The starter will stay engaged to 50% N1. The
OIL light should extinguish by 60% N1. The GEN light should extinguish
at 97% N1 + 4 seconds, signifying the generator is on line. If the green
APU master light should start blinking after the start button is pushed,
one of the start interlock circuit requirements may not have been satisfied
or the APU may shut down for activation of a protective circuit.
After the APU is on speed and the generator has gone out, check that the
APU voltage output is 28.5 volts. The amperage draw will normally peg
out at the maximum of 350 amps. If desired, it may be advisable to turn
off one of the batteries to ease the demand on the APU generator until the
charge draw for the battery being charged is less than 75 amps. Then, the
other battery may be turned on for charging. Closely monitor the battery
charging and the APU generator load before proceeding further on the
checklist. The load demand on the APU should be at 300 amps or less
before performing an engine start.
CAUTION
Discontinue start (STOP PUSHBUTTON) if ITT
does not rise within 10 seconds. Wait 5 minutes prior
to attempting a second start.
A ground power unit providing 28.5 volts DC and 1,200 amps maximum
must be connected at the receptacle, located on the lower right rear portion
of the aircraft. Move the two-position switch from NORMAL to EXT
POWER. The BAT 1 and BAT 2 lights on the master warning panel will
illuminate, as well the BUS TIED light. The No. 1 and No. 2 batteries are
completely isolated from the electrical system, and the left and right main
DC buses are automatically tied together.
The test panel at the right side panel of the copilot should be opened and
checked for any red indications at one or more of the magnetic indicators of
the panel. Push the reset button at the center of the panel to clear any red
indicators, or address the malfunction if the red indicator cannot be reset.
If on, turn off the cockpit dome lights, check that the overhead lights have
two bulbs illuminated in each fixture, and check the cabin and exterior
emergency lighting for proper operation. After the check is complete,
move the switch to ARMED.
Adjust the cockpit lights as required for a day or night flight. The cabin
window valance, ceiling, and entry lights will not operate unless the
CABIN–ENTRANCE–OFF switch, located on the bottom and extreme
right of the overhead panel, is in the CABIN position.
The standby horizon, located on the right top pilot’s instrument panel,
must be uncaged and adjusted.
Move the warning panel test switch to the left (LIGHTS position). This
illuminates the lights on the warning panel, the hydraulic control and
monitoring panel, the overhead panel, the side panels, reverse thrust and
engine turbine temperature for each ITT indicator, and the FAULT lights
on the fire panel. Check the BRIGHT–DIM control while holding the test
switch to the LIGHTS position.
Push the test button on the landing gear panel to test the landing gear panel
lights, the aural “GEAR” warning, and the flashing light in the gear
handle. The aural warning should be silenced during the test.
If installed, the counters should be zeroed and set. The small knobs at the
bottom of the fuel flow counters on the engine panel should be carefully
pulled out from the instrument, about 1/2 inch, to zero the fuel flow
counters. Pushing in on this knob will allow a digital readout of the actual
fuel flow to the engines. This fuel flow readout will remain in view for
approximately 30 seconds.
If installed, the counters mounted below the landing gear panel should be
zeroed and set.
Takeoff data should be computed using the Airplane Flight Manual. The
analog airspeed indicators, located to the left of the pilot and copilot
EADIs, have four airspeed bugs attached to the bezel. These bugs should
be set on V1, VR = V2, VMFR (V2 + 25 knots), and VFS (1.43 VS). The
indicated airspeed displays, presented on the pilot and copilot EADIs,
should each be set to V2 by adjusting the IAS knob on the two DC-820
display controllers, located on the center pedestal.
Check that the ST-BY PUMP light on the hydraulic panel is out. If the
light is on steady, then the standby pump is connected to the No. 1
hydraulic system by means of the hydraulic selector located in the rear
compartment, near the No. 2 hydraulic reservoir.
CAUTION
Before changing the selector valve to the No. 2
hydraulic system, all hydraulic pressure must be
depleted from both hydraulic systems.
This check starts with the stabilizer trim in the green range (4.5 to 7.5°).
The captain trims nose down; upon the captain’s call to stop, the copilot
trims nose up and releases. After confirming the stabilizer has stopped, the
captain trims nose up and repeats the above check. Activate the emergency
stabilizer trim nose up and nose down, and observe that the stabilizer
moves properly. Reset the trim circuit breaker, and set takeoff trim using
the normal trim system. Split control wheel switches must be checked to
confirm there is no stabilizer movement with only one switch activated in
either direction.
NOTE
Whenever the stabilizer is in motion, an aural clacker
will sound. The STAB TRIM indicator on the upper
right side of the center instrument panel should also
be checked for proper movement.
20. *ST-BY Pump Switch/HYDR Press No. 2 ....... AUTO/1,500 TO 2,150 PSI
Press the left emergency aileron button until the AIL ZERO light
illuminates. Press the right emergency aileron button until the AIL ZERO
light goes out and then again illuminates. Press the left emergency aileron
button until the AIL ZERO light goes out.
NOTE
If there is hydraulic pressure on the flight control ser-
vos, the control wheel should not move during this
check. However, if there is no hydraulic pressure on
the flight control servos, it is normal to observe that
the control wheel will move in the direction opposite
to the emergency aileron trim input.
Check the operation of the aileron and rudder trim in each direction by
actuating the double switches on the center pedestal. Check trim travel by
observing the trim indicators and movement of the ailerons and rudder in
the direction in which the respective trim switches are moved. After
checking movement, center the trim to zero for each surface. Additionally,
check that the trim does not move when only one of the trim switches for
each surface is actuated.
Depress the No. 2 stall button on the center pedestal to activate the No. 2
stall warning system. The following actions should be observed:
• The outboard slats extend. A red light followed by a green flashing slat
light should be observed on the slat/flap indicating panel.
Place the standby hydraulic pump switch to the OFF position. This
terminates the prestart hydraulic checks.
Push the test button located on the bottom of the cabin pressure controller.
The cabin altitude aural warning should be heard and then be silenced.
The red CABIN light should illuminate. The cabin pressure controller
window display should show:
Push the test button at the bottom of the battery temperature gage. Observe
an increase in both needles, the amber light illuminating at 120°F and the
red light and HOT BAT annunciator illuminating at 150°F (SN prior to
132) or 160°F (SN 132 and subsequent).
CAUTION
Check battery temperatures:
Individually test ADC 1 and ADC 2 by depressing the test buttons on the
center pedestal. These tests allow the various functions of the air data
computers and the VMO/MMO aural warnings to be tested. When pushing
the test buttons, the following should be observed as well:
• Altitude—1,000 feet
• VSI—5,000 feet per minute, or flag V/S and VS pointer goes out
on A/C equipped with TCAS II COLLINS and two LCD VSI
• VMO—300 knots
• Mach—0.79
• TAT— –16°C
• SAT— –45°C
• TAS—466 knots
Push and hold the PUSH TEST button on top of the DH knob, located on
the instrument remote controller, which is located on the aft portion of the
center pedestal. This tests the radio altimeter and EFIS systems. The test
results in display of a height of 100 feet and appearance of the amber
comparators for the first 4 seconds. The comparators will extinguish,
followed by the flashing red illumination of all EFIS warning flags on
both the EADIs and EHSIs. After 10 seconds, the flashing red will turn to
steady red for all warnings, except for CAT II, which remains flashing. An
amber TEST light is displayed on the EADI for the entire duration of the
test. Release the test button to restore normal operation.
If the aircraft is in the air, only the radio altimeter is tested, displaying the
red RA flag on the EADI. The EFIS system test is inhibited in the air. The
RA test is inhibited after glide slope capture.
Four altimeters must be set to the local station altimeter setting: both the
pilot and copilot altimeters, the standby altimeter, and the cabin pressure
controller altimeter.
The ASEL box, located in each EADI, is set for departure altitude by
adjusting the ALT SEL knob on the instrument remote controller, located
on the aft portion of the center pedestal. To set 100-foot increments in
altitude, pull up on the knob before turning it to the desired altitude. To set
1,000-foot increments in altitude, push down on the knob before turning it.
NOTE
It is highly recommended that, after setting the alti-
tude in 1,000-foot increments, the knob be pulled up
to the 100-foot increments position. This is done in
case the ALT SEL knob is inadvertently hit or touched
while climbing or descending to selected altitudes.
In this way, the accidental knob altitude changes will
be in 100-foot increments and should be more read-
ily caught during an instrument crosscheck.
Any radios that have not already been turned on by the avionics master
switches should be turned on at this time.
The red CABIN and amber REAR DOORS lights, located on the master
warning panel, should be out prior to taxiing the aircraft. If possible, it is
recommended that the doors be closed prior to starting the engines. The
CABIN light is wired to the main cabin door (two microswitches) and, if
installed, the forward lavatory door (one proximity switch).
STARTING ENGINES
STARTING PROBLEMS
Discontinue a start whenever any one of the following conditions occurs:
• The ITT does not rise within 10 seconds after moving the power lever
to idle.
• Oil pressure does not rise within 10 seconds after light off.
• The ITT rises rapidly and approaches the 952° (5AR) or 978° (5BR)
limit.
The power lever is placed to cutoff to stop fuel flow to the engine
and ignition.
NOTE
Perform a dry motoring whenever fuel is suspected
to have accumulated in the tailpipe.
This allows engine motoring while the start button is depressed and
prevents starter engagement after releasing the start button.
The starter remains engaged as long as the start button is pushed to clear
the exhaust pipe of fuel.
If the amber IGN light remains on, although N 2 speed is greater than 50%,
and all idle parameters are within limits:
This allows the operator to manually disengage the start circuit if there is a
failure of the aircraft’s automatic dropout circuitry.
START
Engine 2 Start
1. Anticollision Lights Switch................................................................. RED
Aside from FAR 91.33 and FAR 91.73 requirements, where anticollision
lights are required for flight, AIM paragraph 246 prescribes an FAA
voluntary safety program. This program, “Operation Lights On,” is an
enhancement of the “see and avoid” concept in aviation safety. Pilots are
encouraged to turn on their anticollision lights any time the engine(s) are
running, day or night. However, anticollision lights need not be
Place the No. 2 boost pump switch to the standby position. Check to
ensure that the FUEL 2 light on the master warning panel goes out.
If starting the engines with the batteries or with an APU assist, place the
DC power selector switch in the NORMAL position. If starting with a
ground power unit, place the DC power selector switch in the EXT
POWER position.
a. IGN 2 Light....................................................................... ON
With N2 stabilized:
d. GEN 2 Light:
BEFORE TAXI
1. Circuit Breakers........................................................................ CHECKED
After the engines are started and stabilized, check the circuit-breaker
panels to ensure that no circuit breakers have opened during the starting
process. Check the circuit breakers by running your hand across the panels
to feel if any have opened. It is difficult to see an opened circuit breaker,
especially at night.
Turn this switch to FLIGHT NORM. Confirm that the BUS TIED light on
the master warning panel is out. This position isolates the left and right
main DC buses and prevents current or voltage variations on one bus from
affecting the other bus. Check the voltmeters and ammeters on one side
with those on the other side to ensure that the buses are not tied.
Check the battery amperage and temperatures are normal. The batteries will
probably show a charge since they assisted in the starting of the engines.
Check the bus voltage on each side by observing the two voltmeters and
their output at 28.5 volts. Move each generator ammeter switch to the
respective generator positions to read the amperage draw for each
generator. The amperage should not exceed 95 to 100 amps for each
generator. Normally, the amperage draw for the No. 1 and No. 3
generators is 110 to 125 amps for each generator, while the No. 2
generator provides 125 to 150 amps. After the check, place each ammeter
switch to the BAT 1 and BAT 2 positions.
Check the headings on the EHSIs, the RMIs, and the standby compass to
be sure they are all the same and that the IRS systems have aligned.
9. Windshield Side..................................................................................... ON
Move the windshield heat switches on and observe that the standby
compass may move away from the aircraft aligned heading. Only the
normal position should be selected after starting the engines. Temperature
control of windshield heating is maintained between 25 and 32°C.
All warning panel lights (Figure NP-2) should be extinguished except for
the following: L. AOA, R. AOA, L. PITOT, R. PITOT, ST BY PITOT, #2
P BK, and MACH TRIM. An eighth light on extra optional equipment
such as the Teledyne AOA heater light may be illuminated.
NOTE
On aircraft without transfer valve XTK2 lights,
the amber lights labeled “XTK 2 OPEN” and “XTK
2 CLOSED” are not used.
Check the hydraulic quantities and pressures to ensure that there has been
no loss of hydraulic fluid during activation of these hydraulic systems.
Place the standby hydraulic pump switch in the AUTO position. On the
ground, through the left main gear squat switch, the standby hydraulic
pump will automatically operate to supply hydraulic pressure to the No. 2
system should the No. 2 engine-driven hydraulic pump fail.
b. Depress and hold the brake pedals until the green L and R brake lights
illuminate.
c. Depress the antiskid test button until the green brake lights extinguish.
The airbrake handle in the trim well on the center pedestal, moved to the
No. 2 position, allows the extension of the center and lateral airbrake
panels. Check the illumination of the AIRBRAKE light on the flap/slat
configuration panel.
Move the airbrake handle to zero to extinguish the flashing airbrake light
and arm the system for deployment as required. The airbrakes must be
retracted for takeoff.
After the slats and flaps have extended to the proper setting selected
above, depress the STALL 1 button. The aural stall warning will sound,
the igniter lights will illuminate, and the inboard slats will retract as
indicated by the flashing green slat light. After these indications have been
seen and heard, release the test button, and allow the slats to return to the
steady green indication. Then depress the STALL 2 button and ensure that
the same test results occur. Release the test button and ensure that the slats
return to the steady green indication.
Before taxiing the aircraft, check that all the communication and
navigation radios are on, the radar is in the standby position, and the IRS
systems are fully aligned with the mode selector switches selected to the
NAV position.
Select the desired mode(s) for the EHSI presentations and the
multifunction display. Set the heading and course information, dependent
upon the departure course to be flown.
Operators with this service bulletin must close the valve supplying cold air
to the batteries in the rear compartment before takeoff.
TAXI
NOTE
The taxi check should be accomplished after leaving
the blocks and when clear of congested areas. One
pilot must maintain an outside watch at all times
during taxi operations.
1. Taxi Light............................................................................................... ON
It is recommended that the taxi light be placed on for all taxi operations,
day or night.
Release the parking brake handle and confirm that the #2 P BK light is out.
When moving the brake selector switch from one position to another, the
pilot’s feet should be removed from the brake pedals until after the brake
position is selected and the check is to be made.
Check the No. 1 brakes simultaneously, and gently depress the left and
right brake pedals until the green L and R lights come on. The lights
indicate that a hydraulic pressure of at least 225 psi is being applied to the
brakes. A slight feedback of pressure should also be felt in the brake
pedals. Maximum pressure delivered to the brakes is as follows:
• 1,595 psi for aircraft SNs 1, 75 and subsequent, and those with AMD-
BA SB F900-42 incorporated
• 2,175 psi for aircraft SNs 2 through 74, except for those with
AMD-BA SB F900-42 incorporated
Check the No. 2 brakes individually, and gently depress the L and R brake
pedals until each brake pedal is depressed enough to illuminate the #2 BK
light. Release one brake check before checking the other brake. This light
illuminates when the hydraulic pressure to the No. 2 brakes is at least 225
psi. A slight feedback of pressure should also be felt in the brake pedals.
The maximum pressure delivered to the brakes by the No. 2 hydraulic
system is 1,080 psi.
After the foregoing brake checks have been made, select the brakes to the
No. 1 system with the antiskid on.
With the No. 2 throttle at idle, pull the reverser lever to REVERSE IDLE
and observe that the amber TRANS light illuminates, then goes out when
the green DEPLOYED light illuminates. Place the emergency stow switch
to STOW and observe the following: the green DEPLOYED light goes
out, the red REV UNLOCK light illuminates, and the amber TRANS light
illuminates. When the reverser is fully stowed, all lights should be out.
Return the reverser lever to the stowed position and the emergency stow
switch to the normal guarded position.
illuminate, and a fluctuation in the temperature, fuel flow, and rpm gages
may be observed. Slowly advance the throttle forward to approximately
40% N1 to ensure that manual control of the engine is possible. Return the
throttle to idle, return the computer switch to AUTO, and repeat the check
for all engines.
Slide the left direct-vision window forward and then outward to close the
window. While holding the window closed against the frame, move the
locking lever forward and downward to lock the window in position.
Ensure that the green mark on the grooved tip of the locking button
located on the end of the handle is in view.
Push the APU STOP button, which simulates an overspeed signal and
commands APU shutdown by closing the fuel solenoid valve.
When the APU low oil pressure light illuminates, the APU master switch
may be turned off by pushing in on the switch. This action ensures shutdown
of the APU by removing electrical power from the control circuits.
The APU bleed switch should be turned off before closing the pilot
window to preclude any adverse pressure bumps due to the high volume of
air supplied by the APU.
Turn the engine anti-ice switches on one at a time, and observe a rise on the
ITT instruments for each respective engine. The respective amber lights
located above the switches should illuminate a steady amber. Turn off each
switch, one at a time while observing a drop in the respective ITT gages.
Except for the No. 2 engine, the amber lights immediately extinguish. The
No. 2 engine amber light will flash momentarily and then extinguish.
Actuate all three primary flight controls over their full range. These
controls should be completely free and automatically return to the neutral
position when released. Normally, the copilot checks the ailerons and
elevator, while the captain checks the rudder.
a. Confirm the V-speeds and N1 to be used for takeoff. Check that the
airspeed bugs are properly set.
b. Discuss the departure with respect to turns, initial altitude, and climb
requirements for noise and/or obstacles as published for the airport
being used.
• Fire/overheat warning
• Engine malfunction
NOTE
The pilot observing the problem will say “Abort.” It
is important to note that the immediate use of anti-
skid braking is the most important part of the stop-
ping procedure. Therefore, the aircraft will be stopped
using the following simultaneous procedure:
2. Throttles........................................................ IDLE
d. The captain starts the throttles forward, and the copilot trims the power
to takeoff N1 while calling “Power set.”
e. The copilot calls “80 knots.” At this call the captain normally moves
his left hand from the nosewheel steering to the yoke. Above 80 knots,
the rudder should be effective for directional control. However, if
runway or wind conditions dictate otherwise, the nosewheel steering
can be safely used up to rotation speed.
f. The copilot calls “V1” as the charted speed is attained on the airspeed
indicator. Any malfunction after V 1 will be treated as an inflight
problem, with the proper actions and checklists applied after a safe
altitude is reached. The captain’s intentions as to the type of emergency
return to be requested, if necessary, should be briefed at this time.
g. The copilot calls “Rotate” at the charted VR/V2 speed. The captain
will then apply back pressure to the yoke to attain the charted
rotation attitude.
BEFORE TAKEOFF
1. Radar (2)/Transponder........................................................................... ON
Check that each item is in its proper position by physically checking the
control handles, switches, or dials. The respective indicators must be
checked as well to ensure proper indications of the selected positions.
This selection ensures the white wingtip strobe lights are activated, as well
as the belly and tail red strobe lights.
5. Landing Lights....................................................................................... ON
Place the landing lights on or, in the case of some aircraft, in pulse, day or
night conditions dictating.
CAUTION
Do not use the landing lights for more than 15
minutes while on the ground, as damage may result.
A 45-minute ground cooling period must be ob-
served at the end of 15-minute ground operation.
There is no time restriction for use of the landing
lights in flight, as they are individually ventilated by
ram-air scoops.
Select the AIRSTART position for takeoff if the runway has any amount of
water, snow or slush on it, or if the presence of birds is expected.
NOTE
It is advisable to use ignition for all takeoffs and
landings, as it may provide an immediate relight of
an engine should an inadvertent flameout occur dur-
ing these critical phases of flight.
Just prior to beginning takeoff roll, turn on all three pitot heat switches to
obtain anti-icing of the pitot probes, stall warning vanes, static ports,
Rosemont probe, and, if installed, the Teledyne AOA probe.
CAUTION
Avoid placing these switches to the on position at too
early a time before beginning the takeoff roll.
Overheating of the probes may cause the loss of proper
pitot-static and temperature data provided to the flight
instruments and the ID-802 advisory display.
All warning lights on the master warning panel, hydraulic panel, and fire
warning panel must be out.
AFTER TAKEOFF
1. Landing Gear.......................................................................................... UP
If the total air temperature is below +10°C and prior to entering visible
moisture, place the wing anti-ice switch on after the gear has fully retracted.
For aircraft equipped with a brake heating system (SB F900-32), and after
takeoff from a snow- or slush-covered runway, the following procedure
applies. Once the landing gear is retracted, switch on the brake heating
system by selecting the WING-BRK position on the wing anti-ice switch.
Leave the switch in this position for at least 10 minutes. After this time,
depending on atmospheric conditions, the anti-ice switch should be set to
WING or OFF.
Select all three igniter switches to ground start unless conditions require
that the ignition remain on.
The landing lights may be turned off at this time unless company policy
dictates leaving them on until a higher altitude is reached.
These switches may be turned off at any time the flight conditions permit.
Check the cabin rate of climb, cabin altitude, and differential pressure
indicator to confirm a normal pressurization schedule. Confirm there is
airflow through the gaspers. Rotate the temperature control knobs for the
desired temperature in the cabin and in the cockpit. If desired, and if there
is a remote temperature control for the cabin, the remote position may be
selected at this time for passenger convenience.
The landing lights may be turned off at this time unless company policy
dictates leaving them on until a higher altitude is reached.
Recheck the oxygen quantity to ensure adequate quantity remains and that
no oxygen has leaked since the Before Start checklist. Passenger oxygen
should be in normal, and each pilot mask should be selected to 100%.
3. Station Check:
CRUISE
1. Fuel Management.............................................................. AS REQUIRED
Check that all tanks are feeding properly and that a reasonable balance is
maintained. If the takeoff was made with a full load of fuel, and upon
reaching the filed altitude, open the boost pump 1 to 2 and 3 to 2 crossfeed
valves. The No. 2 fuel boost pump must be selected to the normal position
in order that both boost pumps in group 2 tanks operate, to crossfeed fuel
from the group 2 tanks to all three engines. When group 2 fuel tanks have
shown a decrease of approximately 900 pounds of fuel, or when all three
tank groups show the same level, return the 1 to 2 and 3 to 2 crossfeed
valves to the closed position. The No. 2 boost pump should be kept in the
normal position during all phases of flight.
DESCENT
1. Cabin Pressure Controls ....................................................................... SET
Set the automatic pressure controller mode selector to PROG. Set the
landing field elevation in the LAND ELV window. Set the QNH, the local
altimeter setting for the field at which the landing will be made, in the
QNH window of the controller.
Set the seat belt sign to go on in the event turbulence is encountered during
the descent.
4. Altimeters............................................................. SET/CROSSCHECKED
When passing the transition level in the descent, four altimeters should be
set to the landing airfield’s QNH; the pilot’s and copilot’s barometric
altimeter, the standby altimeter, and the QNH on the cain pressure controller.
Determine the landing weight, and compute the requirements for runway
distance/field length, VREF, and go-around for that weight. Set the VREF
on the EADI by rotating the IAS knob on the DC-820 display controller
on the center pedestal. This VREF setting should only be changed for
additives regarding the final approach configuration of the aircraft, that
is, for flap settings less than 40°, if the airbrakes are locked in the
extended position or if there is a flight control problem requiring an
airspeed additive (Table NP-1).
When landing with any wind, or especially if gusty wind conditions exist
at the landing airport, add half the steady wind component, plus the full
gust component, not to exceed a 20-knot additive. Do not change the VREF
bug setting to incorporate wind, but carry the wind additive as a target
speed above VREF. One of the analog airspeed indicator bugs may be set
on this target speed for final approach to touchdown. Any other analog
airspeed indicator bugs may be set on VFR and 1.43 VS in the eventuality
of a go-around.
WT/1,000 LB 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 40 42 44
VREF 100 104 108 112 115 119 122 126 129 132 135
HOLDING 172 179 187 193 201 207 212 219 223 228 234
c. The pilot not flying will make calls on final approach in accordance
with the following:
(10) At minimums:
1. Landing Lights....................................................................................... ON
APPROACH
1. Entrance Curtain ............................................................................... OPEN
2. No Smoking Sign................................................................................... ON
Once again, confirm all altimeters are set to the current station setting to
ensure proper altimeter readings at the DA or MDA. Additionally, set the
HAT/HAA on the radio altimeter for the approach to be flown. This RA
setting is for backup information only and not to be used for determining
decision altitude or minimum descent altitude. Its primary use if for
determining the missed approach point for a Category II ILS approach.
The aircraft manufacturer requires that all three fuel crossfeed valves be
closed and that the fuel system be in a tank-to-engine configuration for all
normal operations.
When the airspeed is below 200 knots, select the flap-slat handle to
7° FLAPS + SLATS. Confirm that the flaps move to the position selected
and that the slats have properly extended by observing that the green slat
light is steady. When the airspeed is below 190 knots, select the flap-slat
handle to 20° FLAPS + SLATS. Confirm that the flaps move to the
position selected.
CAUTION
Whenever moving the flap-slat handle in flight, move
it one increment at a time to ensure the proper move-
ment to the position selected.
BEFORE LANDING
1. Landing Gear ...................................................... DOWN/THREE GREEN
Select the landing gear handle to the down position. Confirm proper
operation of the landing gear doors and extension of the landing gear. Make
a positive effort to watch the gear until all three are down and locked with
the proper three green arrow light indications. The red gear door lights
should be out as long as the gear was lowered in the normal manner.
3. Hydraulics................................................................................. CHECKED
Check that the hydraulic pressure and quantity indications are normal after
final activation of all the hydraulic components on final approach before
landing. This is a final check to ensure that you have hydraulic pressure
available for activation of airbrakes, brakes, and nosewheel steering during
landing roll.
The airbrakes must not be extended in flight when within 300 feet above
ground level. Physically check that the airbrake handle is in the forward,
or zero, position and that the amber AIR BRAKE light on the landing gear
control panel is out.
• During a VFR approach, the flaps may be set to 40° upon turning from
the base leg to final approach.
• During an ILS approach, the flaps may be set to 40° when the
instruments indicate you are one dot below the glide path.
• During a nonprecision approach, the flaps may be set to 40° when the
aircraft is visual and in a position to land, usually when “breaking out”
on final approach or at the visual descent point.
• When inside the final approach fix, with the flaps set at 40°, establish
an airspeed of VREF + wind correction. The demonstrated maximum
crosswind component on a dry runway is 30 knots.
NOTE
Whether landing in steady or gusty wind conditions,
VREF must be increased by half the steady wind
factor plus the full gust factor, not to exceed a
20-knot additive.
AFTER LANDING
1. Thrust Reverser ........................................................................... STOWED
TRANSIT and REV UNLOCK Lights ........................................ OUT
Confirm that the thrust reverser has stowed when the thrust reverser
control lever is placed to the stow position.
CAUTION
If wing anti-icing is inadvertently left on after land-
ing, do not retract the slats until the wing leading edge
has cooled sufficiently.
In sequence with the preceding items, it is necessary to turn off all three
pitot heat switches as soon as landing roll is complete to preclude
overheating of the pitot-static components and errors in the air data systems.
If the igniters were placed to airstart for the approach and landing, they
should be placed to the ground start position during taxi-in to the ramp.
If the landing lights are not needed for taxi to the ramp, they should be
turned off to prevent overheating of the housings and the lenses. The
landing lights may be used for 15 minutes on the ground but require a
45-minute cooling period after that 15-minute use. There is no limit to the
in-flight use of landing lights.
7. Taxi Light............................................................................................... ON
The taxi light should be left on for taxi-in to the ramp, day or night.
During the day, the taxi light provides additional recognition potential for
the aircraft to other taxiing aircraft, as well as for ground vehicles.
These units are no longer needed for ground operations and should be
turned off before reaching the ramp.
If not required for further flight, the windshield heat switches may be
turned off.
Set all three control surface trims to the proper position for takeoff. The
aircraft will be in proper trim for an ensuing takeoff.
NOTE
As a minimum, the No. 2 and No. 3 engines should
be kept running until parked at the ramp. The No. 1
engine may be shut down during taxi to the ramp, pro-
vided a 2-minute conditioning period at idle power
is accomplished.
PARKING
1. Park Brake/No. 2 Brake Light........................................ INTERMEDIATE
DETENT/ON STEADY
For those aircraft equipped with one, two, or three master switches, turn
them off at this time. It is recommended that the communication and
navigation radios be turned off at their respective control heads as well to
save the LED from early failure when AVIONICS masters are turned on
and off during ground operations.
Prior to shutting down the engines, the engine anti-ice switches should be
turned off and the engines stabilized.
Pull the knob on the emergency horizon, and rotate it clockwise to cage
the mechanism.
11. Engines (3) (After 2 minutes at idle speed) ................................ CUT OFF
12. Booster Pump Switches (3) with APU (2) ........................................... OFF
These lights may be turned off as long as the engines are not running or if
there is no power being supplied to the aircraft.
Turn the cabin warning and emergency exit lights off before removing
electrical power from the aircraft. Although this does not affect the cabin
warning lights, it does affect the emergency lights, as they will come on
when power is removed from the main buses.
Turn off all extraneous cabin lights to prevent excessive drain on the main
batteries when power is again applied to the aircraft.
Depress the stop button on the APU to shut it down, and turn off the No. 2
booster pump, as it is no longer needed. Turn the APU master switch off
when the low oil pressure light comes on.
The park brake should not be left on for extended parking periods. Ensure
proper chocking before release of parking brake.
The N 1 speed of the operative engines must not be less than the minimum val-
ues as shown in table below.
When the aircraft has been left on the ground for several hours or one night
in ambient temperatures of 5 °F ( -15°C) or below , cockpit windows incor-
porating a heating network must be heated as follows :
In-flight tank fuel temperature must be maintained at least 3°C above the freez-
ing point of fuel being used. If necessary, increase mach number or decrease
altitude to raise the total air temperature.
This should be achieved if the total air temperature is not more than 13°C (23°F)
below the fuel freezing point .
As water may freeze as it settles out of the fuel when the aircraft is parked in
the cold, draining must not be carried out until the aircraft has been parked
on heated areas of the airfield or in a heated hangar.
While moisture in the fuel is not exclusively a cold weather problem, it does
frequently cause trouble during engine starts in below freezing weather.
Water Servicing
On ground when cold temperatures are expected, water has to be drained prop-
erly to prevent any water circuit leaks.
Observe the procedure in the Ground Servicing Manuel (DTM 567, Water
Section)
Operational Conciderations
During starting, taxing, after take off and prior to landing on a runway cov-
ered with snow or slush:
• After take off, to get rid of the slush accumulated during taxi and take
off, cycle the gear up and down prior to final retraction.
If necessary, reduce the speed to 280 KIAS max or MI 0.76 max, fasten the
seat belts, decrease altitude to increase buffet boundary margin.
NOTE
Autopilot or yaw damper operation is permitted.
WINDSHEAR SITUATION
If windshear is anticipated:
• Do not take off—Wait
• Do not land—Wait or fly to an alternate airport
Pilot reaction time must be very low—3 to 5 seconds. If the pilot takes 15 sec-
onds or more to understand the situation, it will be too late.

ABNORMAL PROCEDURES
NOTE
This abnormal procedures checklist is provided for

differ from the Airplane Flight Manual, the Airplane
Flight Manual takes precedence.
NOTE
LD—Landing distance
EMERGENCY CHECKLIST
Loss of Both Hydraulic Systems
Clean configuration, VREF + 30 knots. Twice the normal landing distance.
Landing field length is not addressed.
After making the additive for use of No. 2 brakes above and if landing with:
• 20° flaps + slats, fly VREF + 10 knots; add 400 feet to LD.
ABNORMAL CHECKLIST

After making the additions for flaps and slats add 10% to the LD for no air-
brakes.
Inoperative Stabilizer
Use 20° flaps + slats, and fly VREF + 20 knots; add 800 feet to LD.
Inoperative Elevator
Use 40° flaps + slats, and fly VREF + 10 knots; add 1,800 feet to LD.

• Airbrakes are extended to position 2, fly VREF + 15 knots; add 600 feet
to LD.
ENGINES
NOTE
The warning of an engine failure on the ground dur-
ing takeoff roll is given either by a yawing of the air-
craft, if the No. 1 or No. 3 engine fails, or by
illumination of the red ENG 2 FAIL light, if the cen-
ter engine fails.
Immediately upon the abort call, retard the power levers to idle. Do not
bring the power levers to cutoff; otherwise, hydraulic pressure for stopping
the aircraft may be lost.
NOTE
Accelerate-stop performance is based on a 2-second
time delay from initiation of the abort to being in the
stopping configuration described in this procedure.
Thrust reverser is not a performance consideration in
stopping performance of the aircraft. Charted stop-
ping performance is based on the use of antiskid brak-
ing and the deployment of airbrakes to position 2.
Rotate the aircraft to the normal pitch attitude calculated from the flight
manual charts, usually a minimum of 13.5° for a 20° flaps + slats takeoff
or 14.5° for 7° flaps + slats takeoff. This will ensure a minimum climbout
gross climb gradient of 2.7% in the second segment of climb.
The performance charts for climbout in the second segment are calculated
with these bleed systems turned off.
If anti-icing conditions are present, turn on the wing anti-ice switch after
the landing gear has been retracted. The performance charts do account for
the use of wing anti-icing, if needed.
CAUTION
If the engine failure occurs at a speed above V2, main-
tain the speed attained.
If the No. 2 engine has failed, there may not be enough windmilling rpm to
operate the engine-driven hydraulic pump. In order to obtain operation of
No. 2 hydraulic system components, position the standby hydraulic pump
switch to ON. In flight, with the standby pump switch in AUTO, the standby
pump will operate only when the airbrakes are selected to position 1 or 2.
Compute the enroute climb speed from the performance charts. This speed
is 1.43 VS in the clean configuration. It is also the best rate-of-climb speed
if on one engine, the maximum lift over drag speed, and the best speed to
use for driftdown if all engines have failed and cannot be restarted.
On the two remaining engines, change the thrust from the takeoff thrust
power settings to the charted maximum continuous thrust power settings.
NOTE
It is the captain’s responsibility to decide whether to
continue the flight or interrupt it as soon as possible
and apply the One Engine Inoperative Approach and
Landing procedure.
NOTE
An attempt airstart may be tried on the failed engine
(see “Airstart” section, this chapter). If an airstart is
unsuccessful, complete the engine shutdown proce-
dure (see “Engine Failure In Flight” section in this
chapter).
Determine which engine has failed. Analyze all engine indications. Attempt
an airstart on the failed engine unless a greater emergency exists with the en-
gine. Both pilots must make a positive and confirmed identification of the af-
fected engine before any further actions are taken.
Engine Shutdown
1. Power Lever ..........................................RETARDED AND MAINTAINED
ONE MINUTE TO IDLE (IF POSSIBLE)
Unless needed for fuel balance operations, place the affected booster pump
switch to OFF and check for corresponding fuel light on warning panel.
The generator for the failed engine is no longer useful and should be
turned OFF to preclude electrical anomalies associated with the electrical
system.
This closes the anti-icing valves (air intake and No. 2 engine S-duct).
CAUTION
If the engine cannot be restarted, switch the fuel
shutoff valve off. In icing conditions, operate No. 2
engine anti-icing even with the No. 2 engine shut
down. The isolation valve must be open.
If Engine Shutdown procedure was initiated due to engine failure during take-
off (after V1) 5 minutes after brake release and if obstacle clearance permits:
NOTE
After an unsuccessful airstart attempt of engine 1 or
3, select bus-tied switch to FLIGHT NORM and
check that the BUS TIED light is out.
CAUTION
Regardless of flight conditions, fuel in the center
group of tanks must not be kept at a higher level than
the side tanks to prevent problems caused by an aft
CG location at the end of the flight.
This will allow normal booster pump operation and prepare the standby
booster pump for automatic operation once X–BP 2–1 and or 2–3
crossfeed switches are selected to crossfeed.
The GPWS FLAPS O’RIDE switch prevents the TOO LOW FLAPS audio
warning from sounding when a less than 40° flap landing is made.
The crew should be fully briefed on all plans and contingencies for the
approach and landing to be flown. Special consideration must be given to
the special requirements dictated by the emergency or abnormal situation
that caused the engine to be shut down. The crew has to decide the
approach configuration. The approach speed and the LD have to be
adjusted accordingly. With 20° flaps + slats, increase the LD by 200 ft and
VREF + 5 knots. When 7° flaps + slats, increase the LD by 600 ft and VREF
+ 15 knots.
b. No Smoking Sign...................................................................... ON
Set QNH or QFE as instructed by local air traffic control. QFE can
only be selected if the pressure altitude of the destination airfield is
inside the altimeter setting limits.
Fly the final approach at the normal 40° flaps + slats VREF speed
plus 5 knots. Increase the landing distance by 200 feet. The
standard correction for wind must be applied.
OR
Fly the final approach at the normal 40° flaps + slats VREF speed
plus 15 knots. Increase the landing distance by 600 feet. The
standard correction for wind must be applied.
NOTE
Airbrakes may be used during landing approach pro-
vided airspeed is at least VREF + 10 knots. Increase
landing distance by 15%.
Depress the CAT 2 pushbutton on the AP control unit and check that
the CAT 2 message appears on the ID 802.
NOTE
If landing with the No. 2 engine inoperative, opera-
tion time for flap extension from 7 to 40 degrees
(standby pump in use) will be doubled.
It is imperative that the landing climb attitude be attained to ensure that the
descent is stopped and the climbout is begun. This action is simultaneous
with the advancement of the power levers to takeoff N1.
If the airbrakes were extended for some reason during the approach, they
must be retracted as power is applied and the aircraft is rotated to the
landing climb attitude.
Ensure that the FLAPS–SLATS handle is set to 20° flaps + slats during the
go-around.
The best climb speed to maintain to a minimum altitude of 400 feet above
ground level is VREF + 5 knots. If a higher speed is achieved during the
rotation, maintain that speed to 400 feet AGL. Do not overrotate the aircraft.
Ensure that the FLAPS–SLATS handle is set to 7° flaps + slats during the
go-around.
The best climb speed to maintain to a minimum altitude of 400 feet above
ground level is VREF + 15 knots. If a higher speed is achieved during the
rotation, maintain that speed to 400 feet AGL. Do not overrotate the aircraft.
For all go-around configurations, when reaching 400 feet AGL and above safety
altitude:
At an altitude no lower than 400 feet above ground level, maintain level
flight while accelerating to the slats-flaps retract speed.
This is the normal retraction speed for the FLAPS–SLATS. You can use
VREF as the base speed, which is a conservative speed. For a given gross
weight of the aircraft, VREF speed is 7 knots higher than the V2 speed for a
20° flaps + slats takeoff. Moreover, for a given gross weight, the VREF speed
is equal to the V2 speed for a 7° flaps + slats takeoff. Remember, there is
only one VREF for the aircraft at a given gross weight. VREF is 1.3 VS in the
normal landing configuration, which is 40° flaps + slats, gear down.
Once the slats-flaps are retracted, accelerate to the enroute climb speed of
1.43 VS. Reduce engine thrust to the maximum continuous power setting.

NOTE
This immediate airstart procedure may be attempted
at high altitude, even at altitudes above the maximum
start envelope.
As soon as the power lever is retarded to idle, place the start selector
switch to AIR START. The above two actions must be accomplished
before the N2 rpm decays to 15% or less to increase the probability for a
successful start. This provides ignition for engine starting. Check IGN
light on.
This is the indication of a successful relight of the engine. Ensure the ITT
rises normally, being careful the temperatures stay within the limitations
envelope. All other engine instruments must be checked as well for their
proper indications.
If all engine instruments indicate that the engine is operating normally, the
power lever may be advanced, as required, for normal flight.
Place the start selector switch from AIR START to GRD START to shut
off the ignition circuit and check that the IGN light is out.
Abnormal Airstart
Abort an airstart whenever any one of the following conditions occurs:
• The ITT does not rise within 10 seconds after moving the power levers
to idle.
• The oil pressure does not rise within 10 seconds after light-off.
• If, during an airstart with the computer in manual mode, the N 1 ex-
ceeds 80% with the power lever at idle.
If any of the above are observed during the airstart, shut down the engine as
follows:
This is done to shut off the fuel at the engine fuel control and stop the start.
This action disengages the starter if it was used to assist in the airstart
attempt.
If an immediate relight was not possible, establish the aircraft within the
airstart envelope as prescribed in Figure AP-1.
The power lever must be placed in cutoff to prepare the engine for the
airstart. Fuel is shut off at the fuel control.
If the fuel shutoff switch was placed off at some point during engine
shutdown, place the switch, located on the fire panel, on. This will restore
the fuel supply from the fuel tanks to the engine.
Place the generator switch on, to provide a start interlock, if needed for an
assisted airstart. This will also configure the generator to provide
immediate electrical power to the buses when the engine comes on speed.
The engine computer switch, unless the computer is inoperative or was the
cause of the engine shutdown in the first place, should be placed in AUTO.
Check for CMPTR light out. If the computer is inoperative, apply the
Airstart—Abnormal—Computer Off checklist, which follows this
procedure.
6. Booster Switch....................................................................................... ON
Place the booster pump switch on, checking that the fuel pressure light
goes out, to supply fuel under pressure from the tank to the engine.
Place the anti-ice switches off to prevent any unwanted tap-off of bleed
air from the engine being started. The unwanted tap-off of bleed air
might impede the start and/or cause an overtemperature on the engine
being started.
Abort airstart when anyone of the abnormal conditions occur (see “Abnormal
Airstart,” this chapter).
The start selector switch will provide ignition for relight when placed to
AIR START in flight. Check IGNITION light on.
Move the power lever from cutoff to idle. This action allows fuel to be
supplied through the engine fuel control to the injectors of the affected
engine.
This is the indication of a successful relight of the engine. Ensure that the
ITT rises normally, being careful the temperature stays within limits. All
other engine instruments must be checked as well for their proper
indications.
Place the bus-tied switch to FLIGHT NORM to restore the electrical buses
to an isolated operation, the normal in-flight configuration. The BUS
TIED light should go out.
This action disengages the starter if it was used to assist in the airstart
attempt. Check that the ignition light on the overhead engine start panel
is out.
After the airstart attempt has been aborted, move the start selector switch
back to its normal position of GRD START.
OR
If the BUS TIED light stays on after the bus-tied switch is moved to
FLIGHT NORM:
This means the buses are still tied together. Attempt moving the rotary bus-
tied switch in the opposite direction. If the BUS TIED light is still on:
Closely monitor the buses for proper power supply and loading. The
buses are no longer isolated in case of generator, battery, bus or
component malfunctions.
The start selector switch will provide ignition for relight when placed to
AIR START in flight.
Push the start button switch for a maximum of two seconds. This engages
the starter to rotate the engine to the normal rpm for starting, as is done in
ground starting of the engine.
Move the power lever from cutoff to idle. This action allows fuel to be
supplied through the engine fuel control to the injectors of the affected
engine.
This is the indication of a successful relight of the engine. Ensure that the
ITT rises normally, being careful that the temperature stays within limits.
All other engine instruments must be checked as well for their proper
indications.
Place the start selector switch from AIRSTART to GRD START to shut off
the ignition circuit.
This action disengages the starter if it was used to assist in the airstart
attempt.
Check that the ignition light on the overhead engine start panel is out.
After the airstart attempt has been aborted, move the start selector switch
back to its normal position of GRD START.
OR
If the BUS TIED light stays on after the bus-tied switch is moved to
FLIGHT NORM:
This means the buses are still tied together. Attempt moving the rotary
bus-tied switch in the opposite direction.
Closely monitor the buses for proper power supply and loading. The buses
are no longer isolated in case of generator, battery, bus or component
malfunctions.
If an immediate relight was not possible, establish the aircraft within the
airstart envelope as prescribed in the chart (see Figure AP-1).
The throttle must be placed in cutoff to prepare the engine for the airstart.
If the fuel shutoff switch was placed off at some point during engine
shutdown, place the switch, located on the fire panel, on. This will restore
the fuel supply from the fuel tanks to the engine.
Place the generator switch on, to provide a start interlock, if needed for an
assisted airstart. This will also configure the generator to provide
immediate electrical power to the buses when the engine comes on speed.
The engine computer switch should be placed in MAN for this start
attempt. It is assumed the computer is not operating, thus necessitating the
use of this procedure. Engine instruments must be more closely monitored
than before, as computer control of fuel input and protection of
temperature is lost. Check CMPTR light on.
6. Booster Switch....................................................................................... ON
Place the booster pump switch on, checking that the fuel pressure light
goes out, to supply fuel under pressure from the tank to the engine.
Place the anti-ice switches off to prevent any unwanted tap-off of bleed air
from the engine being started. The unwanted tap-off of bleed air might
impede the start and/or cause an overtemperature on the engine being
started.
Abort airstart when any one of the abnormal conditions occur (see “Abnormal
Airstart,” this chapter).
Windmilling
After preparing the engine for the computer in manual mode, use the wind-
milling airstart procedure as used for the computer normal mode procedure.
However, the N 2 speed must be greater than 15%, and the N 1 speed must be
greater than 10%.
Move the start selector switch to AIR START to provide engine starting
circuitry. Confirm IGN light is on.
Push in on the start button switch for a maximum of two seconds. This
engages the starter to rotate the engine to the rpm necessary for starting
with the computer off.
Move the power lever from cutoff to idle. This action allows fuel to be
supplied through the engine fuel control to the injectors of the affected
engine.
This is the indication of a successful relight of the engine. Ensure that the
ITT rises normally, being especially careful the temperature stays within
limits since the computer is in manual mode.
NOTE
If any abnormal situations occur as described in the
beginning of the airstart checklist, or if the N1 exceeds
80% with the power lever at idle, abort the start.
Move the start selector switch to GRD START, the normal inflight
position of the switch.
Place the bus-tied switch to FLIGHT NORM to restore the electrical buses
to an isolated operation, the normal inflight configuration. The BUS TIED
light should be out.
This action disengages the starter if it was used to assist in the airstart
attempt.
Check that the ignition light on the overhead engine start panel is out.
After the airstart attempt has been aborted, move the start selector switch
back to its normal position of GRD START.
OR
If the BUS TIED light stays on after the bus-tied switch is moved to
FLIGHT NORM:
This means the buses are still tied together. Attempt moving the rotary
bus-tied switch in the opposite direction.
Closely monitor the buses for proper power supply and loading. The buses
are no longer isolated in case of generator, battery, bus or component
malfunctions.
NOTE
If the fuel control computer fails, check that the en-
gine is operating within established limits. The com-
puter no longer monitors the operating limits of the
engine; therefore, the crew must closely monitor all
engine instruments and warning lights to ensure
operating limitations are not exceeded.
Retarding the power lever will assist in maintaining the engine within
operational limits when attempting to reset the engine computer.
Cycle the computer switch to MAN, to OFF, and back to AUTO to see if
normal circuitry can be restored. Monitor the engine instruments and
guard the power lever while cycling the computer switch.
If the attempt to reset the computer fails, set the computer switch to MAN,
and operate in that position for the remainder of the flight. Computer
control circuits will be lost, except for N1 and N2 overspeed protection,
necessitating close scrutiny of engine instruments and lights.
NOTE
Do not let the ITT indications of the affected engine
exceed the operating ITT of the other engines.
CAUTION
Maximum thrust may not be attainable.
ENGINE OIL
OIL
NOTE
The OIL light illuminates at 25 psi if there is a loss
of oil pressure. It will also illuminate if metal chips
are detected in the oil system.
3. Retard the power lever and shut down the affected engine as soon as
possible.
CAUTION
In icing conditions, operate the No. 2 engine anti-ice
even with the No. 2 engine shut down. The isolation
valve must be open.
If the engine 2 is shut down, the bus B remains supplied by the BAT 2 during
a limited period. The buses A and B have to be tied and the bus tied light checked
illuminated.
If the ENG 2 FAIL light comes on in flight, it indicates that the inlet, or
S-duct, door in the aft compartment is not properly fastened. Much damage
can be done to the engine if the inlet door should unlock and open. The inlet
door itself, or any loose equipment present in the aft compartment, might be
ingested into the No. 2 engine.
TAKEOFF CONFIGURATION
T/O + AURAL WARNING “NO TAKEOFF”
CONFIG
This is a ground warning and is activated when at least one of the power levers
is advanced above a position of 82° to 84° or greater and one or more of the
following conditions have not been met:
The airbrakes must be fully retracted and the airbrake handle must be in
the zero position.
The flap/slat handle must be placed to the desired configuration for takeoff,
and both inboard slats are not deployed to the fully extended position.
The horizontal stabilizer trim must be in the green range or positioned be-
tween 4.5° and 7.5° on the trim indicator.
The flap/slat handle must be placed in the desired takeoff position. The
aircraft is not certified for a no flap/slat takeoff.
On aircraft employing MOD 880, the PARK BRAKE handle must be fully
retracted and the dual braking system must be deactivated.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
LOSS OF NO. 1 SYSTEM

AND POSSIBLY
PITCH
FEEL
PUMP 3
This is the maximum speed for flight in the eventuality that all hydraulic
pressure is lost to the flight controls.
Set the appropriate bugs to VREF plus additive, flap retracting speed, and
1.43, respectfully.
This selection will provide for outboard slat extension from the No. 2
hydraulic system. Check for extinguishing of the red slat transit light and
illumination of a green flashing slat light. Land with flaps extended to 40°
and VREF + 5 knots.
System Status
Operative Systems
• Servoactuators barrel 2
• Flaps
• Airbrakes
• Aileron Arthur Q
• No. 2 brakes
• Nosewheel steering
• Parking brake
• Thrust reverser
Inoperative Systems
• Servoactuators barrel 1
• Normal slats (use EMERG SLATS control switch, land with outboard
slats, flaps 40 and V REF + 5 knots)
NOTE
Increase the landing distance computations by 60%.
PUMP 3
This indicates failure of only one of the No. 1 hydraulic system pumps.
Check both hydraulic system gages to ensure proper quantity and pressure.
The other engine-driven hydraulic pump light should be out, with normal
pressure and quantity indicated.
If the pressure and quantity are normal, expect longer operating times for No.
1 system components.
A loss of the No. 2 system may also be indicated by a drop in pressure on the
hydraulic pressure gage. The hydraulic fluid quantity may also read zero. This
procedure differs from the No. 1 hydraulic system loss in that only one pump
drives the No. 2 system. Illumination of the PUMP 2 light may simply mean
the loss of the No. 2 engine-driven pump. The standby hydraulic pump is avail-
able if it was the engine pump that failed, provided hydraulic quantity is normal.
Depending on airspeed, the AIL FEEL light may illuminate.
The No. 2 hydraulic system pressure gage should cycle between 1,500 and
2,150 psi, indicating that the standby pump is operating. The No. 2
hydraulic system is usable but with an increase in the operating times of
the components.
OR
If the quantity is low or if the standby pump is not used:
2. Airspeed ..................................................... 260 KNOTS/.76 MACH MAX
This is the maximum speed for flight in the eventuality that all hydraulic
pressure is lost to the flight controls.
If the hydraulic quantity is zero, turn off the pump to prevent overheating
and possible damage. If the quantity is normal, use the pump sparingly or
only for those key phases of flight.
Set the airspeed bug to reflect the approach being flown without the
benefit of flaps.
This switch prevents the TOO LOW FLAPS audio warning from sounding
if a less than 40° flap landing is made.
System Status
Operative Systems
• Servoactuators barrel 1
• Normal slats
Inoperative Systems
• Servoactuators barrel 2
• No. 2 braking
• Nosewheel steering
NOTE
If the No. 2 hydraulic system is lost for landing, the
following additives must be made to the landing dis-
tance and landing field length computations.
On the ground, the ST BY PUMP light may indicate that the hydraulic selector
in the rear compartment is out of the IN-FLT detent.
CAUTION
Before correcting the situation by moving the han-
dle to the IN-FLT position (No. 2 hydraulic system),
ensure that all hydraulic pressure is removed from
both the No. 1 and No. 2 hydraulic systems. Do not
restore hydraulic pressure to either system until after
the handle has been fully displaced from one posi-
tion to the other. The handle must be safety-wired to
the IN-FLT position for flight.
On the ground or in flight, illumination of the light may indicate that the standby
hydraulic pump has been running in excess of one minute. In this case:
FLIGHT CONTROLS
LANDING WITH INOPERATIVE STABILIZER
This condition is indicated by the inability to trim the horizontal stabilizer
by either the normal or emergency trim system. The horizontal stabilizer will
remain in the last position selected prior to the trim failure. Hold the control
column and then perform the following procedures:
NOTE
The failure of the horizontal stabilizer causes the el-
evator Arthur unit to lock in the position it is in at the
time of failure. When the flaps and slats are extended,
the Arthur unit returns to the low-speed position,
which results in a significant, but very gradual, de-
crease of elevator feel force.
This is the recommended final flap setting for approach and landing. This
is a normal trim setting for a 20° flaps + slats landing, which provides
sufficient elevator control for the pilot.
The GPWS FLAPS O’RIDE switch cancels the “TOO LOW FLAPS”
audible warning when landing with flaps less than 40°.
CAUTION
Since the flaps will not be extended to 40° for approach
and landing, ensure that all three landing gears are
visually checked to be down and indicating properly
This is the normal range for the elevator trim when making a slats 40° flap
landing. Make a normal approach.
The extra speed will improve controllability of the aircraft with a jammed
elevator.
4. Use very short pitch trim inputs to set the stabilizer trim.
This method of trimming the aircraft is recommended over the use of long
bursts of trim, which may cause the loss of aircraft control. Use several
short bursts of trim to control pitch, making the pitch trim clacker sound
much like several short bursts of a Gatling gun.
These lights illuminate when either of the Arthur unit monitoring systems de-
tects a failure. Normally, the autopilot can still be used. If the PITCH FEEL
light is on, reduce airspeed down to 260 KIAS or MI 0.76 maximum.
CAUTION
The pitch and/or roll control forces may be higher or
lower than normal, depending on whether the Arthur
unit has failed in the high- or low-speed position.
Follow either procedure below, depending on the
control forces experienced.
High forces—Use normal or emergency trim systems. If the AIL FEEL light
is on, execute an approach at VREF . If the PITCH FEEL light is on, execute
an approach at VREF + 10 knots, and increase the landing distance by 800 feet.
The EGPWS FLAPS O’RIDE switch cancels the “TOO LOW FLAPS”
audible warning when landing with flaps less than 40°.
The EGPWS FLAPS O’RIDE switch cancels the “TOO LOW FLAPS”
audible warning when landing with flaps less than 40°.
CAUTION
Since the flaps may not be extended to 40° for ap-
proach and landing, ensure that three landing gears
are checked to be down and indicating properly by
both pilots before landing. The landing gear warn-
ing horn, normally activated by the 40° flap position
circuitry, will not sound if one or more of the land-
ing gears are not fully extended and locked down.
Illumination of this light indicates that information from the slat monitoring
circuits (ground/flight proximity switches, angle of attack, airspeed) are in
disparity.
If the light comes on after takeoff or at a speed lower than 280 knots:
The airspeed must be limited to less than 270 knots. When flying above
270 knots, the safety systems that lock out the automatic deployment of
the slats are not operational, and unwanted and untimely extension of the
outboard slats could occur, causing damage to the slats and/or adverse
aircraft control.
• The green light is on steady when all four slats are extended.
• The green light usually flashes when only the outboard slats are
extended and in conformity with the command.
• During slat extension by normal control, the red light comes on when
the control handle is set to the 7° flaps + slats position. The red light
goes out when all slats are extended, at which time the green light comes
on steady.
• During automatic retraction of the inboard slats, when all slats are
deployed and an AOA stall angle of 23° is detected, the green light
goes from a steady state to a flashing state immediately upon receipt
of the retraction signal. This really means that only the outboard slats
are fully extended. When a stall angle below 16.5° is detected, the green
flashing light goes out, and the red light comes on during extension
of the inboard slats. When the inboard slats are fully extended, the red
light goes out, and the green light comes on steadily, indicating that
all four slats are fully extended.
• If the Bus A1 failure occurs in the cockpit, the outboard slats can be
extended through the normal slats control handle (via the battery
bus). In this case the green light flashes.
• Green and red light can never illuminate simultaneously except dur-
ing test on the indication panel.
In Cruise
Normally, in the cruise regime of flight, the flaps + slats handle is kept in the
CLEAN position. There should be no movement of the slats or flaps unless
caused by selection of the handle or activation of the automatic stall system.
If one or more of the slats fail to retract after the handle is placed to the CLEAN
position, the red slat transit light will remain on. There may also be a tendency
for the aircraft to roll. If either of these conditions is noted, the following
procedures should be performed:
During Approach
Depending on indications, follow the instructions for either case 1 or case 2 below.
Case 1
A flashing green slat light with the red light off indicates that only the
outboard slats are extended. This is the indication that only the outboard slats
are extended. At this time the power used to supply the outboard slats extension
solenoid is from the battery bus.
Proceed as follows:
The flaps may be extended to 40° as long as the outboard slats are
extended.
Due to the loss of the lift normally provided by the inboard slats, 5 knots
must be added to the VREF speed to provide the proper margin from the
stall speed.
Case 2
Assume that the flaps + slats handle has been placed in the 7° FLAPS +
SLATS position. The green slat light off, the red slat light on, and a possible
tendency for the aircraft to roll due to asymmetry indicate that one or more
of the slats are not fully extended.
CAUTION
Emergency slat actuation is only authorized when a
failure is experienced.
Proceed as follows:
This selected position will provide electrical circuit protection which will
prevent any inboard slats or trailing-edge flap extension until outboard slat
extension is first satisfied.
If outboard slats are visually extended and flaps 7°, go directly to section
titled “Procedure B.”
If outboard slats are visually not extended and flaps not at 7°, continue
with the following item 2.
The use of this switch will provide outboard slat extension provided from
the No. 2 hydraulic system.
Note the slats indications after placing the switch on, and follow procedure
A, B or C below, depending on the indications you observe.
Procedure A
If the green light comes on steadily, all slats extended.
A normal full 40° flap approach and landing may be made without
additive or penalty.
Procedure B
If the red light stays on and only the outboard slats are visually checked
extended, it can be assumed safe to use other flap configurations for approach
and landing.
The flaps may be extended to 40° as long as the outboard slats are
extended.
Due to the loss of the lift normally provided by the inboard slats, 5 knots
must be added to the VREF speed to provide the proper margin from the
stall speed.
Procedure C
If the red light stays on and neither inboard or outboard slats are extended:
If the slats cannot be extended by any or all means, the wing must be clean
of flaps for approach and landing.
To compensate for the loss of lift normally provided by the slats and flaps,
the VREF must be increased by 30 knots to ensure a proper margin from
stall during final approach and landing.
4. Increase the landing distance and the landing field length by 50%.
CAUTION
Do not change the emergency slats switch position.
The red slats transit light comes on and then goes out, indicating that the slats
are in transit. The green slat light then comes on flashing, indicating outboard
slats extension. The audio warning for stall warning sounds.
This warning may occur while in cruise at high altitude and while cruising at
normal cruise speed/Mach number. It is usually due to an erroneous sensing
by either the left or right stall warning vane.
On primary bus B1, pull the RH AUTO SLAT circuit breaker to deactivate
the right-side stall warning system. This should cause the slats to retract,
and all warnings should cease.
On primary bus A1, pull the LH AUTO SLAT circuit breaker to deactivate
the left-side stall warning system. This should cause the slats to retract,
and all warnings should cease.
If the warnings were stopped by pulling the left circuit breaker, then restore
the right-side stall warning system to provide proper warning of stall.
Continue the flight at an indicated airspeed of less than 270 knots, with the
circuit breaker of the defective system pulled.
If the LH AUTO SLAT circuit breaker remains pulled manual action of the
flap/slat handle:
Illumination of this light means that at least one airbrake panel has not
retracted. If in doubt about the actual position of the airbrakes, consider them
to be extended to position 2.
NOTE
Keep the flap/slat handle in this position for land-
ing in order to preclude the possibility of airbrake
asymmetry that can be particularly bothersome on
final approach.
To compensate for the loss in lift due to the airbrake being extended to
position 1, add 10 knots to the normal VREF to maintain the proper margin
from stall.
To compensate for the loss in lift due to the airbrake being extended to
position 2, add 15 knots to the normal VREF to maintain the proper margin
from stall.
NOTE
Airbrakes may be used during landing approach, pro-
vided airspeed is at least VREF + 10 knots. Increase
landing distance by 10%.
LANDING GEAR
ABNORMAL LANDING GEAR EXTENSION
If, after the LANDING GEAR handle has been placed to the DOWN position,
and one or more of the following indications occur, perform an EMERGENCY
LANDING GEAR EXTENSION.
NOTE
The Landing Gear Abnormal Extension procedure is
to be applied as soon as one green light is missing.
It gives no alleviation to any red indicator light/green
gear symbol combination as long as one green gear
symbol is off.
CAUTION
The landing gear handle must be maintained down.
Unlatch and pull this T-handle, which is located next to the normal gear
handle. Pulling this handle shuts off the electrical sequencing circuit,
exposes the retraction side of the gear and door actuators to return, and
allows No. 1 system hydraulic pressure to be ported directly to the extend
side of the main doors and all three landing gear actuators.
If all three green gear down lights illuminate and the landing gear handle
light (red) is not illuminated, the landing gear is down and locked. Do not
actuate any landing gear controls.
If at least one green gear down light does not illuminate and the landing
gear handle light is flashing, apply the FREE FALL EXTENSION
procedure.
Before actuating the main gear red unlocking handles, ensure that the
normal gear handle is down and that the emergency hydraulic gear control
handle is pulled. The main gear unlocking handles are located on the floor
on either side of the center pedestal. A pull of about six inches should be
sufficient. The speed shall be maintained between 160 KIAS and VLO.
CAUTION
Rapidly alternating large rudder applications in com-
bination with large side-slip angles may result in
structural failure at any speed.
Gently apply up to full rudder to the left while accelerating (190 KIAS
max) until the left green gear down light is illuminated.
NOTE
Illumination of the green gear down light may take
more than 30 secs with full rudder deflection.
Gently apply up to full rudder to the right while accelerating (190 KIAS
max) until the right green gear down light is illuminated .
NOTE
Illumination of the green gear down light may take
more than 30 secs with full rudder deflection.
The nose gear manual release handle is located on the left aft side of the
center pedestal. Pull the handle upward to unlock the nose gear. A pull of
about 1 to 2 inches should be sufficient.
Accelerate until illumination of the nose green gear down light is achieved
(190 KIAS).
CAUTION
Do not actuate any landing gear control once the
three landing gears are locked down . The landing gear
must be maintained down.
If, after applying all the methods possible to try to extend the landing gear, a
problem with one or more landing gears still exists, plan on landing with the
assumption that at least one landing gear is locked in the up position. Declare
an emergency, and make a shallow approach and as soft a landing as possible.
If the nose gear is the one gear whose extension is in doubt, touch down on
the main wheels as for a normal landing. Hold the nose off the ground for as
long as possible and then bring it gently into contact with the runway while
the elevators remain effective. Do not use the brakes, unless a greater
emergency exists, until after the nose touches the ground. As soon as the nose
touches the ground, begin normal, or differential, braking as necessary to
maintain directional control. Use No. 1 brakes, No. 2 brakes or the parking
brake handle, depending on the availability of hydraulic and/or braking
systems.
Jamming of the landing gear control handle in the down position may be
caused by misalignment of the nosewheels; consequently, do not attempt
to free the control handle by pressing the red ground safety override
pushbutton located above the control handle (or by pulling the control
handle if the modification M1688 is installed). Damage could be incurred
if the gear is retracted in this configuration.
ABNORMAL RETRACTION
WARNING
a. If the red landing gear lights fail to go out upon retraction of the
landing gear, ice may be preventing the main landing gear from locking
in the UP position.
Ground retraction of the landing gear is achieved using the following proce-
dure, with the first two operations being performed simultaneously:
This is a red pushbutton located above the normal landing gear control
handle. On aircraft with modification M1688, this pushbutton is no more
installed. Unlocking of the gear control handle is performed by pulling it.
This closes the three shutoff valves and cuts off the fuel supply.
• 1,595 psi for SNs 1, 75, and subsequent, and those incorporating
Service Bulletin F900-42
• 2,175 psi for SNs 2 to 74, except for those with Service Bulletin
F900-42
NOTE
Service Bulletin 42 provides a double-braking sys-
tem, that assures a better brake-holding capability dur-
ing pretakeoff, full-engine-power runups.
• The first detent of the parking brake handle provides 800 psi of No.
2 hydraulic system pressure. This detent stops the aircraft gradually
without locking the brakes.
• The second detent of the parking brake provides 2,175 psi of No. 2
hydraulic system pressure. This detent will lock the brakes.
2. Brake progressively.
NOTE
For takeoff, operation of the aircraft on an exceptional
basis with antiskid inoperative is described in annex
5 of the Airplane Flight Manual. Operation on this
basis is subject to prior authorization defined in a
Minimum Equipment List (MEL).
Use the thrust reverser to its maximum throughout the landing roll. The
thrust reverser is most effective at the first portion of the landing roll, but
should be used all the way to the stop in conjunction with the use of the
parking brake in the intermediate detent.
Pull the parking brake handle to the first or intermediate detent. Do not
cycle the handle in and out of this detent. Select the first detent, and leave
the handle there. Avoid pulling the handle to the second detent unless a
greater emergency exists and it becomes necessary to lock the wheels. The
parking brake accumulator can allow up to five applications of the parking
brake using the second detent, if necessary.
NOTE
If the #2 P BK light is flashing, indicating a pressure
of 1,200 psi or less in the parking brake accumula-
tor, residual pressure remaining allows for only one
brake application.
NOSEWHEEL SHIMMY
Hold the nosewheel steering control depressed.
FUEL SYSTEM
LOW BOOST PUMP PRESSURE
Case 1
FUEL 2
(4.64 psi)
If the No. 2 booster switch was in the NORM position, move it to the
ST–BY position to turn on the other boost pump in the group 2 tanks.
Check the FUEL 2 light. If it goes out, continue the flight with use of the
standby boost pump.
Carefully observe the No. 2 fuel quantity. Check that the fuel quantity
is dropping normally through normal engine consumption. Follow
either procedure A or B below, depending on whether a fuel leak is or is
not evident.
Procedure A
If a significant fuel loss is evident:
Since the area of the fuel leak is unknown, an isolation process is begun by
shutting down the engine. This action shuts off fuel to the engine at the
fuel control.
The generator for the shutdown engine is no longer useful and should be
turned OFF to preclude electrical anomalies associated with the
electrical system.
This closes the anti-icing valves (air intake and ENG 2 S-duct).
CAUTION
In icing conditions, operate the No. 2 engine anti-icing
even with the No. 2 engine shutdown. The isolation
valve must be open to allow air bleed from the bleed-
air manifold to anti-ice the S-duct.
If the No. 2 engine is shut down:
Because the group 2 tank fuel is located mainly in the fuselage, it is desirable
to use up the fuel in group 2 tanks first to preclude any center-of-gravity
problems. To use group 2 fuel, follow the next steps to crossfeed the fuel to
all engines.
This turns on the normal pump in the group 2 tanks and arms the standby
pump for operation when one of the X-BP 1-2 or 3-2 valves is open.
Open these two valves, which turns on the standby boost pump and allows
feeding of fuel to all three engines, thereby using the fuel from the group 2
tanks first. Check for illumination of X-BP 1-2 and 2-3 lights.
Procedure B
If no fuel leak is evident:
The flight may be continued, as required, by feeding fuel to the No. 2 engine,
by gravity, from the group 2 fuel tank only, except for the descent phase
above 31,000 feet that must be performed with X-BP 1-2 and 3-2 open. Check
that X-BP 1-2 and 3-2 lights are illuminated.
Case 2
FUEL 1 OR FUEL 3 (4.64 PSI)
Rotate the X-BP 1-3 switch to connect group 1 and group 3 tanks-to-supply
both lateral engines. The corresponding X-BP light should illuminate.
Turn off the boost pump switch that corresponds to the illuminated fuel
pressure warning light.
If the fuel pressure light stays on after opening the X-BP valve:
Close the X-BP valve previously opened. The corresponding X-BP light
should go out. There is no crossfeed between engines 1 and 3 fuel feed
system. This may indicate that a fuel leak is present in the respective fuel
feed system.
Carefully observe the fuel quantity in the fuel tank associated with the
illuminated fuel pressure light. Check that the fuel quantity is dropping
normally through normal engine consumption.
Since the area of the fuel leak is unknown, an isolation process is begun by
shutting down the associated engine. This action shuts off fuel to the
engine at the fuel control.
The generator for secured engine is no longer useful and should be turned
off to preclude electrical anomalies associated with the electrical system.
OR
This selection will allow a transfer of fuel from the high-level wing tank to
the low-level tank, as long as one of the later tanks booster pump is
operational. Check illumination of the XTK light.
Close the X-BP 1-3 valve on the upper portion of the fuel panel to prepare
for the crossfeed of fuel using different fuel plumbing.
Crossfeed the lateral engines using the two X-BP switches located on the
lower portion of the fuel panel. Check that the FUEL 1 and FUEL 2
lights go out.
Since gravity flow of fuel, assisted by air pressure, is now the only way
fuel can be transferred from the tank groups to the engines, limit the
altitude of the aircraft.
If the FUEL 1 or FUEL 3 light remains on (and FUEL 2 light may possi-
bly come on):
The generator for the secured engine is no longer useful and should be
turned off.
This light indicates that the XTK 2 valve is open when it should be closed.
At times, this situation can be corrected by merely moving the XTK 2 switch
through each of its respective positions, then back to AUTO. If this does not
correct the indication, follow either procedure A or B below:
Procedure A
If group 2 fuel total quantity indicates approximately 4,400 pounds
green range):
Depress the button next to the group 2 tank fuel gage and check the fuel
quantity in the rear tank.
If the group 2 rear tank level is 3,300 pounds and steady, indicating that the
rear tank is full:
By closing the XTK 2 valve, the fuel flow from the front to the rear tank is
stopped.
Normally, the XTK 2 OPEN light should go out after the XTK 2 switch is
moved to the close position. If the XTK 2 OPEN light does not go out and
there is a possibility of reaching the rear CG limit:
This manually positioned valve is located in the rear cabin area of the
aircraft, in the floor on the left aisle, in line with No. 11 and No. 12 cabin
windows. Lift the carpet cutout to gain access to the handle. Raise the flap
of the valve and rotate it to the closed position. After turning the handle,
return the flap to the stowed position. Now check the master failure
warning panel.
The XTK 2 OPEN light should go out after the manually controlled XTK
2 valve has been closed. Fuel management of the fuel from the front to the
rear tank must be carefully followed. It may become necessary to open the
valve once the rear tank level has burned down to a reasonable level.
OR
Procedure B
If group 2 fuel quantity indicates approximately 2,200 pounds
(amber range):
This is done to shut off the fuel transfer from the front to the rear tank.
NOTE
If the XTK 2 OPEN light does not go out and boost
pump 1 or 3 has failed, or if side tank interconnec-
tion has been used, the attitude shall be limited to 10°
pitch up as long as the light remains illuminated.
Case 2
XTK 2
CLOSED
This light indicates that the XTK 2 valve is closed when it should be open.
At times, this situation can be corrected by merely moving the XTK 2 switch
through each of its respective positions and then back to AUTO. If this does
not correct the indication, proceed as follows:
Move the XTK 2 switch to the open position to allow a transfer of fuel
from the front fuselage tank to the rear fuselage tank.
Check to see that the light goes out when the XTK 2 switch is moved to
the open position.
This manually positioned valve is located in the rear cabin area of the
aircraft, in the floor on the left aisle, in line with No. 11 and No. 12 cabin
windows. Lift the carpet cutout to gain access to the handle. Raise the flap
of the valve, and rotate it to the open position. After turning the handle,
return the flap to the stowed position. Now check the master failure
warning panel.
The XTK 2 CLOSED light should go out after the manual control XTK 2
valve has been opened. Fuel management of the fuel from the front to the
rear tank must be carefully followed.
NOTE
The manually controlled opening of the XTK 2 valve
will cause the XTK 2 OPEN light to come on later
on in the flight. The attitude shall be limited to 10°
pitch-up as long as the light remains on.
This light indicates that a fuel level below 200 pounds is detected. Equivalent
to a cruise flight time of 15 minutes at an altitude of 2,500 feet.
Verify the indication given by the warning light by checking the respective
fuel quantity gage. However, the warning light indication may be more
accurate of the actual fuel quantity in the fuel tank.
In order to supply fuel to the low-side engine, the crossfeed of fuel can be
gained from a fuel tank containing more quantity. The X-BP light for the
respective valve opened should come on.
Turn off the low-side boost pump until it becomes absolutely necessary to
use the fuel from that low tank.
This light indicates that a fuel level below 200 pounds is detected. Equivalent
to a cruise flight time of 15 minutes at an altitude of 2,500 feet.
Verify the indication given by the warning light by checking the respective
fuel quantity gage. However, the warning light indication may be more
accurate of the actual fuel quantity in the fuel tank.
In order to supply fuel to the low-side engine, the crossfeed of fuel can be
gained from a fuel tank containing more quantity. The X-BP light for the
respective valve opened should come on.
Turn off the low-side boost pump until it becomes absolutely necessary to
use the fuel from that low tank.
7. X-BP............................................................................................. CLOSED
FUEL ASYMMETRY
This condition is indicated by asymmetric fuel indications and/or by an ab-
normal application of aileron trim to one wing versus the other. Ensure that
the asymmetry is not caused by a fuel leak. Follow either Case 1 or Case 2
below, depending on the type of asymmetry:
Open the crossfeed line between the No. 1 and No. 3 fuel tanks.
Move the XTK switch from the center position to the low-side tank. This
action, by opening the valve between the wing fuel tanks, will further
assist in the balancing of fuel. The high-side boost pump will move fuel
from the high-side tank to the low-side tank through jet pump action.
Move either rotary switch to the open position to allow a crossfeed from
the high tank.
Turn off either or both of these boost pumps to allow the group 2 tank fuel
to be crossfed to the other engine(s). This will help achieve a balance in
the fuel tanks.
This allows the center engine to be fed from either the No. 1 or No. 2 fuel
tank groups, whichever is higher in quantity.
Monitor fuel quantity indicators to detect any fuel loss. Consider landing
the aircraft as soon as possible in the event a fuel leakage occurs through
the fuel tank vent system or if structural damage is suspect.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Check the ammeter readings for each battery and generator to ensure bus
and generator loading is within limits. Each operator should keep a
running record of normal bus loading and have a knowledge of the normal
power demands on the electrical system.
3. Shed the load, as necessary, to limit the load on the respective battery or
operating generator.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to reset a tripped generator switch.
Since the generator switch has tripped, an overvolt-
age condition will exist if a reset attempt is made.
This will allow a sharing of the load between the operating generators and
will preclude abnormal demands on the No. 2 battery, as necessary. Check
bus-tied light illumination and normal bus load and voltage.
OR
The existence of an overvoltage condition not high enough to cause the GEN
switch to trip may prevent the associated generator from coming on line. In
this case, the faulty generator is the one associated with the extinguished GEN
light. Switching this generator off should cause the other generator to come
back on line.
OR
If the GEN 1 and GEN 3 lights remain on, representing that a possible nor-
mal No. 1 generator did not automatically reconnect to the bus, then:
4. GEN 1 Switch........................................... OFF, THEN ON (TWO RESET
ATTEMPTS MAXIMUM)
The generator is no longer useful and should be turned off to preclude any
electrical anomalies.
Never tie the buses together without previously checking that voltages and
amperage are within limits.
Check the volts and amps on the left main bus carried by the No. 1 battery
for normal valves. Normal voltage and amperage carried by the No. 2
generator should be shown for the right main bus.
Ensure that the left and right main buses are tied by monitoring
equalization on voltmeters and ammeters, and that they are within
prescribed limits. Check for bus-tied light illumination.
OR
OR
If the GEN 1 and GEN 3 lights remain on, representing that a possible nor-
mal No. 1 generator did not automatically reconnect to the bus, then:
The generator is no longer useful and should be turned off to preclude any
electrical anomalies.
Never tie the buses together without previously checking that voltages and
amperage are within limits.
Check the volts and amps on the left main bus carried by the No. 1 battery
for normal valves. Normal voltage and amperage carried by the No. 2
generator should be shown for the right main bus.
Ensure that the left and right main buses are tied by monitoring
equalization on voltmeters and ammeters, and that they are within
prescribed limits. Check for bus-tied light illumination.
Turn the GEN switch off and then on a maximum of two times to see if the
generator will reset. If the generator cannot be reset:
Left and Right Main Bus Voltage ............ NOT ABOVE GREEN RANGE
Two generators have been disconnected from the main DC bus system. The
respective generator switches may or may not be tripped. This procedure would
assume a simultaneous tripping of the reverse current relay of the corre-
sponding generator.
CAUTION
Shed the load on the bus, if necessary, to limit the load
on the operating generator and/or battery. Never tie
the buses together without previously checking that
the voltage and amperages on each bus are within the
prescribed limits.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to reset the generator that has the
tripped switch, as an overvoltage condition will exist
when a reset attempt is made.
On the generator for which the switch has not tripped and bus voltage is
within the green range:
Check to see that amperage indications on both main buses are indicating
normal loading. If the indications are normal:
Once the buses are tied, continually monitor the voltages and amperages
for normal indications,
OR
On the generator(s) for which the switch has not tripped and main bus
voltage is above the green range, comply with the following appropriate
procedures A, B, and C.
Procedure A
The existence of an overvoltage condition not high enough to cause the GEN
switch to trip may prevent the associated generator from coming on line. In
this case, the faulty generator is the one associated with the extinguished GEN
light. Switching this generator off should cause the other generator to come
back on line.
If GEN 1 and GEN 3 lights remain on, representing that a possible normal
No. 1 generator did not automatically reconnect to the bus, then:
The generator is no longer useful and should be turned off to preclude any
electrical anomalies.
OR
Procedure B
The existence of an overvoltage condition not high enough to cause the GEN
switch to trip may prevent the associated generator from coming on line. In
this case, the faulty generator is the one associated with the extinguished GEN
light. Switching this generator off should cause the other generator to come
back on line.
If the GEN 1 and GEN 3 lights remain on, representing that a possible
normal No. 3 generator did not automatically reconnect to the bus, then:
The generator is no longer useful and should be turned off to preclude any
electrical anomalies.
OR
Procedure C
If GEN 2 light is on:
Turn the GEN 2 switch off and then on a maximum of two times to see if
the generator will reset. If the generator cannot be reset:
3. Left and Right Main Bus Voltage ............ NOT ABOVE GREEN RANGE
Ensure the left and right main buses are tied by monitoring equalization on
voltmeters and ammeters and that they are within prescribed limits. Check
for bus-tied light illumination.
Two generators have been disconnected from the main DC bus system.
The respective generator switches have tripped. This procedure would as-
sume a simultaneous tripping of the reverse current relay of the corre-
sponding generators.
CAUTION
Shed the load on the bus, if necessary, to limit the load
on the operating generator and/or battery. Never tie
the buses together without previously checking that
the voltage and amperages on each bus are within the
prescribed limits.
Ensure the buses are not tied when attempting to reset a generator whose
switch has tripped. The objective is to protect the bus not associated with
the generator being reset.
The respective battery will not only provide electrical power to the bus,
but will also function as a buffer when attempting to connect the generator.
This will minimize the effects, should the reset attempt result in an
overvoltage condition. Consequently, the reset attempt should not
be performed during a critical phase of flight when engine thrust may
not be reduced.
Perform only one reset attempt of generator 2. No more than one reset
attempt should be made, for the reason that a failure to reset is an
indication that the fault still exists, and a new attempt could have
detrimental effects.
If the volts and amps are normal (in the green range):
Check that the bus-tied light is on and monitor to make sure the loads are
kept within limits.
Two generators have been disconnected from the main DC bus system. The
respective generator switches have tripped. This procedure would assume a
simultaneous tripping of the reverse current relay of the corresponding generator.
CAUTION
Shed the load on the bus, if necessary, to limit the load
on the operating generator and/or battery. Never tie
the buses together without previously checking that
the voltage and amperages on each bus are within the
prescribed limits.
Ensure the buses are not tied when attempting to reset a generator whose
switch has tripped. The objective is to protect the bus not associated with
the generator being reset.
The battery will not only provide electrical power to the bus, but will also
function as a buffer when attempting to connect the generator.
This will minimize the effects, should the reset attempt result in an
overvoltage condition. Consequently, the reset attempt should not be
performed during a critical phase of flight when engine thrust may not be
reduced.
Perform only one reset attempt of generator 1. No more than one reset
attempt should be made, for the reason that a failure to reset is an
indication that the fault still exists, and a new attempt could have
detrimental effects.
Since the reset attempt of the No. 1 generator was unsuccessful, an attempt
to reset the No. 3 generator will be made. This reset attempt will require a
thrust reduction on the No. 3 engine. To preclude two engines at reduced
thrust at the same time, set normal thrust on the No. 1 engine.
This will minimize the effects should the reset attempt result in an
overvoltage condition. Consequently, the reset attempt should not be
performed during a critical phase of flight when engine thrust may not be
reduced.
Perform only one reset attempt of generator 3. No more than one reset
attempt should be made, for the reason that a failure to reset is an
indication that the fault still exists, and a new attempt could have
detrimental effects.
Check to see that the voltage and amperage are within limits as this bus
and its associated No. 2 generator will pick up the entire electrical load
when connecting the main buses. If the indications are normal:
Check to make sure the bus-tied light is illuminated and the bus load and
voltage are kept within prescribed limits.
BATTERY OVERHEAT
HOT
BAT
In flight:
This action disconnects the battery from the electrical system, which
should reduce the load or charging action that may be causing the overheat
condition.
NOTE
If required, the faulty battery may be switched back
on for landing, provided the HOT BAT light has gone
out. Closely monitor the battery temperature indicator.
On the ground:
If the batteries are warm (temperature higher than 120°F) and the amber light
is on, a battery start must not be attempted. Use an external power cart for
starting the engines.
If the temperature during engine start exceeds 120°F, monitor the tempera-
ture for a few minutes after starting to ensure that the temperature does not
rise further and that it starts to cool.
If the temperature during engine start exceeds 140°F, wait for it to drop below
120°F before taking off.
If the temperature reaches 150°F with the red battery gage light and the HOT
BAT light on, the battery must be switched off. Monitor the battery closely
for cooling and have it removed for inspection.
NOTE
The average cooling time of a battery on the ground
is 1°F per minute.
BATTERY FAILURE
BAT 1 OR BAT 2
No more than two resets of any electrical system malfunction are allowed.
Try to reset the associated battery by moving the battery switch to on. Loss
of one or both batteries in flight will not have a serious effect on the
operation of electrical systems. However, should the three engine
generators fail, the emergency power normally supplied by the batteries
will be lost if the batteries cannot be reset.
PITOT-STATIC SYSTEM
EITHER AIR DATA COMPUTER INOPERATIVE
Table AP-2. PITOT-STATIC SYSTEM—EITHER
AIR DATA COMPUTER INOPERATIVE
NOTE:
If VMO/MMO warning sounds permanently, pull out inoperative air data computer circuit breaker.
The VMO /M MO audio warning sounds, the IAS EADI comparator annuncia-
tor illuminates, the AP disengagement and/or DADC DATA INVALID message
appears on ID 802, and a disagreement with standby IAS/Mach indications shows.
CAUTION
If it is certain that the VMO /M MO warning is false, do
not modify flying parameters.
On the left and right circuit-breaker panels, pull the circuit breakers as
labeled above to silence the VMO/MMO audio warning.
4. Since air data information may be erroneous, use the standby altimeter for
altitude reference.
After the fault has been identified, follow Procedure A for the climb phase
of flight, Procedure B for the cruise phase of flight, or Procedure C for the
descent phase of flight.
Procedure A
Climb
1. N1 RPM .......................................................................... CLIMB THRUST
Procedure B
Cruise or Level Flight
Set N 1 rpm according to the setting for Mach 0.75 cruise, taking into account
flight altitude, aircraft weight, and TAT (if known).
Since SAT/TAT indications may also be in error, use the last known temper-
ature observed, or use ISA for the given altitude.
Procedure C
Descent
Follow either checklist below for operations without anti-icing or for oper-
ations with engine and wing anti-icing on.
Without Anti-icing
1. N1 RPM .............................................................................................. IDLE
Reduce the power levers to idle rpm for the descent. Cross-check
pressurization requirements. If at high altitude, ensure the cabin pressure is
maintained with the power levers at idle.
Use the three engines operative minimum N1 anti-ice chart found in the
Normal Procedures section of the Airplane Flight Manual, a copy of
which is printed in this manual, or in the abbreviated checklist.
Deploy the airbrakes to position 1 to provide drag in the descent, while the
engine power is kept at a higher power setting for anti-icing purposes.
NOTE
1. Check aircraft altitude frequently by referring
to the standby altimeter.
Compare instrument readings with the readings of the other two systems. Check
bus power and proper switch positioning.
Case 1
The wing anti-ice switch is on and the wing amber light comes on steady. This
indicates an insufficient supply of bleed air is available for wing anti-icing.
Increase the thrust on the No. 1 engine to attempt to supply more high-
pressure bleed air through the HP 1 valve.
While maintaining a higher rpm on the No. 1 engine, increase the thrust on
the No. 3 engine to attempt to supply more high-pressure bleed air through
the PRV 3 valve.
Keep the thrust increased on both No. 1 and No. 3 engines, while in icing
conditions, to keep the wing anti-ice light green and to ensure a sufficient
anti-icing capability.
Set the N 1 No. 1 and No. 2 engines to the minimum rpm, according to Table
AP-4 for operations in icing conditions.
Avoid or leave icing conditions as soon as possible. Since the wing anti-icing
is no longer provided, structural icing may result.
Case 2
The wing anti-ice switch is on, and the wing amber light is flashing. This
indicates a system malfunction in which there is too much bleed air sensed
in the system.
Reduce the No. 1 engine N1 rpm until the flashing amber light goes out
and the green light illuminates. This action should reduce the high-
pressure bleed-air supply to the wing surfaces.
While maintaining a required speed on the No. 1 engine, reduce the engine
speed on the No. 3 engine to further reduce the high-pressure bleed-air
supply to the wing surfaces.
NOTE
Do not go below the minimum engine speed
prescribed for flight in icing conditions, corrected for
temperature (Table AP-4).
>20,000
76% 73% 65% 58%
>10,000
Maintain that engine speed on No. 1 and No. 3 engines when flying through
icing conditions.
Case 3
The wing anti-ice switch is on, and both the amber and green anti-ice lights
are on. It would be quite rare for such an indication as this to appear. However,
the aircraft manufacturer feels that this is a coverall procedure in the event
any other indescribable indications might be seen when you turn on the wing
anti-icing switch. This indicates that the wing anti-ice system may be
malfunctioning and you must:
If in icing conditions, not reduce N 1 speed below the specified value and avoid
or leave icing conditions as soon as possible.
Case 4
The wing anti-ice switch is on, and the wing green light is out. This may indicate
that the green wing anti-icing light is not operative for one reason or another.
The corrective action to determine if it is an indication problem and not an
operational problem is to:
Turn off the wing anti-ice switch, and observe the off indications by
watching the wing anti-ice lights. Normally, when turning the wing anti-
ice switch off, the amber light will flash a couple of times and then
extinguish. Turn the switch back on.
If you observe the normal indications of the amber light coming on and
then going out, you can assume that the wing valves have opened and are
being supplied sufficient bleed air for anti-icing purposes.
If you do not observe these proper indications, the wing anti-icing system
must be considered inoperative. You must:
The wing anti-ice switch is off and the amber wing light is flashing. This may
mean that some bleed air may still be going to the wings or an indication failure,
even though the wing anti-icing switch is off. To try to correct this malfunc-
tion by the following procedure:
If the green wing light does not come on, it means a failure of the
indicating system and there is no anti-ice pressurized air in the wings.
Flight may be continued with:
OR
If the green light comes on, it means the operation of the wing anti-icing
system is out of sequence. High-pressure bleed air may still be supplied to
the wings even when the wing switch is off. This case is either untimely
operation of the wing anti-ice system or seizing of the wing anti-ice
system electrovalve in the open position. If the TAT is above +10°C, the
following procedure must be followed to eliminate, or to limit, the flow of
high-pressure bleed air to the wings.
Move the rotary switch on the overhead panel to the isolate position. The
amber ISOL light should come on. This separates the bleed-air system so
that the No. 1 and No. 3 engines feed one side while the No. 2 engine
feeds the other side of the bleed-air manifold.
Moving these switches to off should keep any high-pressure airflow, from
the No. 1 and No. 3 engines, from entering the bleed-air manifold. It is this
side of the manifold from which the wing anti-ice system plumbing taps
its air. Therefore, only low-temperature, low-pressure bleed air can be
delivered to this side of the manifold. To minimize any adverse effects this
low-pressure bleed air might have, perform the following:
Case 1
Procedure A
Switch is in the WING position:
Increase the power on the No. 1 engine to attempt to supply more high-
pressure bleed air through the HP 1 valve.
OR
While maintaining a higher rpm on the No. 1 engine, increase the power
on the No. 3 engine to attempt to supply more high-pressure bleed air
through the PRV 3 valve.
Keep the power increased on both No. 1 and No. 3 engines, while in icing
conditions, to keep the wing anti-ice light green and to ensure a sufficient
anti-icing capability.
OR
The purpose of this operation is to detect a brake heating valve not closed
malfunction.
4. Maintain an N1 rpm not less than 1% above the specified value for flight
in icing conditions (see Table AP-4).
OR
Procedure B
Switch is in the WING–BRK position:
If the green light comes on, it is an indication that the brake heating
system is inoperative.
Increase the N1 speed of the No. 1 engine until the green light comes on. If
the attempt is unsuccessful, repeat similar N1 speed increase on the No. 3
engine. Maintain this N1.
3. Maintain an N1 rpm not less than 1% above the specified value for flight
in icing conditions (see Table AP-4).
Case 2
NOTE
When reducing N 1 rpm as directed below, do not re-
duce the N 1 below the minimum speed required for
operations in icing conditions.
Procedure A
Switch in the WING position:
1. Reduce N1 speed of No. 1 engine until the amber flashing light goes out
and the green light comes on.
3. Reduce N1 speed of No. 3 engine until the amber flashing light goes out
and the green light comes on.
Procedure B
Switch in the WING–BRK position:
1. Reduce N1 speed of No. 1 engine until the amber flashing light goes out
and the green light comes on.
3. Reduce N1 speed of No. 3 engine until the amber flashing light goes out
and the green light comes on.
Maintain an N1 speed not less than 1% above the specified value for flight
in icing conditions (see Table AP-4).
Case 3
The wing anti-ice switch is on, and both the amber and green anti-ice lights
are on. It would be quite rare for such an indication as this to appear. However,
the aircraft manufacturer feels that this is a coverall procedure in the event
any other indescribable indications might be seen when you turn on the wing
anti-icing switch. This indicates a general total malfunctioning of the sys-
tem, and you must:
Case 4
Procedure A
Switch in the WING position:
The amber light should flash and then go out. This indicates that the wing
anti-ice valves were open and that they closed normally.
Carefully watch the indicator lights as the switch is moved to the WING
position. The amber light should come on steady and then go out. This is a
normal indication; however, the green light should come on. If the green
light did not come on, there is a malfunction in the indicating system, and
it can be assumed that the wing anti-ice system is working properly.
If the amber light did not come on steady and then go out:
Procedure B
Switch in WING-BRK position:
The amber light should flash and then go out. This indicates that the wing
anti-ice valves were open and that they closed normally.
If the amber light did not come on steady and then go out:
The WING–BRK switch is off and the amber wing light is flashing. This
may mean that some bleed air may still be going to the wings, or indica-
tion failure, even though the wing anti-icing switch is off. To try to correct
this malfunction:
If the green wing light does not come on, it means a failure of the
indicating system and there is no anti-ice pressurized air in the wings.
Flight may be continued with:
OR
If the green light comes on, it means the operation of the wing anti-icing system
is out of sequence. High-pressure bleed air may still be supplied to the wings
even when the wing switch is off. The cause is either untimely operation of the
wing anti-ice system or seizing of the wing anti-ice system electrovalve in the
open position. If the TAT is above +10°C, the following procedure must be
followed to eliminate, or to limit, the flow of high-pressure bleed air to the wings.
Move the rotary switch on the overhead panel to the isolate position. The
amber ISOL light should come on. This separates the bleed-air system so
that the No. 1 and No. 3 engines feed one side while the No. 2 engine
feeds the other side of the bleed-air manifold.
Moving these switches to off should keep any high-pressure airflow, from
the No. 1 and No. 3 engines, from entering the bleed-air manifold. It is this
side of the manifold from which the wing anti-ice system plumbing taps
its air. Therefore, only low-temperature, low-pressure bleed air can be
delivered to this side of the manifold. To minimize any adverse effects this
low-pressure bleed air might have, perform the following:
The associated engine anti-ice switch is on and the amber anti-ice light is on
steady, indicating that the air intake (nacelle lip) anti-icing air pressure as-
sociated with engine 1 and/or engine 3, or that either the S-duct or the air in-
take (nacelle lip) anti-icing surfaces of engine 2, are not receiving enough air
pressure for anti-icing purposes.
1. Increase power on the affected engine until the amber light goes out and
the green light comes on.
If the amber light goes out and the green light illuminates:
Case 2
ENG 1, ENG 2 or ENG 3 amber and green lights on.
The engine anti-ice switches are on and both the amber and green anti-ice lights
are on for one or more engines. It is quite rare for such an indication to
appear. However, the aircraft manufacturer feels that this is a coverall procedure
in the eventuality any other indescribable indications might be seen when you
turn on the engine anti-icing switches. This indicates a general total
malfunctioning of the system and you must:
Case 3
The No. 2 engine anti-ice switch is on, the amber light is out, but the green
light did not come on. This may be a case where the indicating system is
malfunctioning. If you see the amber light come on and then go out, you can
assume that the system is working correctly. The procedure is to cycle the switch
off and then on again to observe the other indications associated with the
operation of No. 2 engine anti-icing.
As you cycle the switch off, carefully watch the light indications.
Normally, the amber light should flash a couple of times and then
extinguish. If this is observed, turn the anti-ice switch back on. Now you
should observe that the amber light comes on and then goes out. You can
assume the system is operating, but only with a green light indication
malfunction.
The associated engine anti-ice switch is on and the amber anti-ice light flashes
on one or more engines. This indicates that the pressure in the air intake anti-
ice system of the corresponding engines is too high.
1. Reduce the power on the affected engine until the flashing amber light
goes out and the green light illuminates.
By reducing the power on the affected engine, you reduce the temperature
and pressure of the high-pressure bleed air being supplied the manifold
and, in turn, the engine anti-ice surfaces.
2. Retain this power setting. Do not go below the minimum N1 engine rpm
prescribed for flight in icing conditions (see Table AP-4).
The associated engine anti-ice switches are off and an amber light flashes.
This may mean that some bleed air may still be going to an engine’s anti-ice
surfaces even though the engine anti-ice switch is off.
If the green engine anti-ice light does not come on, it means a failure has
occurred in the indicating system.
If the green engine light comes on, it means the operation of that engine anti-
icing system is out of sequence. High-pressure bleed air may still be supplied
to the engine surfaces even when the engine anti-ice switch is off.
If the TAT is above +10°C, the following procedure must be followed to elim-
inate, or to limit, the flow of high-pressure, high-temperature bleed air to the
engine anti-ice surfaces. Make sure the associated anti-ice switch is off and
perform the following:
Reduce the power on the associated engine to the minimum needed for
operational purposes.
Case 2
ENG 2 amber light flashing.
The No. 2 engine anti-ice switch is off and the amber light flashes. This may
mean that some bleed air may be going to the engine’s air intake and S-duct
surfaces even though the engine anti-ice switch is off.
If the green engine anti-ice light does not come on, it means a failure has
occurred in the indicating system.
If the green No. 2 engine light comes on, it means the operation of that engine
anti-icing system is out of sequence. High-pressure bleed air may still be
supplied to the engine air intake and S-duct surfaces even when the engine
anti-ice switch is off.
Move the rotary knob on the overhead panel to the isolate position. The
amber ISOL light should come on. This separates the bleed-air system so
that the No. 1 and No. 3 engines feed one side while the No. 2 engine
feeds the other side of the bleed-air manifold.
Moving this switch to off should keep any No. 2 engine high-pressure,
high-temperature airflow from entering the bleed-air manifold. It is this
side of the manifold from which the S-duct anti-ice system plumbing taps
its air. Therefore, only low-temperature, low-pressure bleed air can be
delivered to this side of the manifold.
If the amber flashing light does not go out and the TAT is above +10°C:
Reduce the thrust on the No. 2 engine to the minimum needed for operational
purposes, which will reduce this anti-icing air temperature.
AIR CONDITIONING
BLEED-AIR SYSTEM OVERHEAT
Light on steady.
BLEED
OVHT
This light, on the master failure panel, illuminates when one of three tem-
perature probes, located in the bleed-air manifold downstream from each en-
gine, detects an excessive bleed-air temperature.
The following is a step-by-step identification process.
After turning off the PRV 3 switch, carefully observe the BLEED OVHT
light, and note any changes in its actions.
If the BLEED OVHT light starts blinking and then goes out, leave the
PRV 3 switch off and continue the flight in this configuration. This was
the faulty system.
OR
If the BLEED OVHT light starts blinking and keeps blinking in icing
conditions:
Move the associated power lever to idle to lower the bleed-air temperature
and pressure in the manifold. Set N1 of other engines corresponding to one
engine inoperative conditions (see Table AP-3) to ensure adequate air for
anti-icing.
NOTE
If you are not in icing conditions, and to preclude hav-
ing to reduce to idle on an engine, an alternate pro-
cedure is possible.
If the light stayed on and steady after turning the PRV 3 switch off, the
PRV 3 system was not the problem.
For the aircraft with AUXITROL EL 124 box (modification M1905 not applied):
For the aircraft with AUXITROL EL 137 box (modification M1905 applied):
ECU OVERHEAT
ECU
OVHT
This light indicates failure of the cold-air generation system.
If the ECU OVHT light stays on, you must perform the following procedures:
Move the crew temperature control toward the hot position, a minimum of
40% of the dial. This again will decrease the amount of bleed air that is
directed through the turbocooling unit. Perhaps the crew system was
making a larger demand than the passenger system.
Reduce the airspeed of the aircraft to less than 300 knots true airspeed.
This will allow the turbofan to operate and the air intake door on the
bottom aft of the empennage to open to provide more ventilating air
through the heat exchangers.
NOTE
If you are not in icing conditions, the HP 1, PRV 2,
and PRV 3 switches may be turned off.
If you are unable to control the overheat condition by the time you have
reached this point in the checklist, control of the overheat condition may
not be possible. The air-conditioning system should be isolated from
operation, a descent should be initiated because you will be unable to
pressurize the aircraft, and a landing should be made at the nearest
suitable airport.
COND’G
OVHT
Move the mode selector switch on each panel from AUTO to MANUAL
to turn off the automatic regulation system. Move the manual temperature
control switch to the cold position.
If the light does not go out or if the temperature does not decrease:
Move the COND control lever to the tied position to connect the two
systems together. This will provide circulation of air from the cockpit air-
conditioning unit, which will supply the entire interior of the aircraft.
Move the mode selector switch on each panel from AUTO to MANUAL
to turn off the automatic regulation system. Move the manual temperature
control switch to the COLD position.
CAUTION
Since anti-icing on the turbine is no longer ensured,
the amber ECU A/I pushbutton can only be used at
high altitude (above 35,000 feet) where the water
concentration is practically close to zero.
Move the COND control lever to the tied position to connect the two
systems together. This will provide circulation of air from the cockpit air-
conditioning unit, which will supply the entire interior of the aircraft.
OR
NOTE
For operation below 35,000 feet with the amber
COND’G OVHT light on, complete only the below
listed items:
Aircraft with Service Bulletin 125 have a switch that controls a valve that
provides crew cold air to the aircraft battery compartment. Takeoff is
authorized provided the cold air battery conditioning duct is closed. If the
valve will not close, the conditioning duct is blocked. In this case, the
warning light stays on.
This light indicates that the nose cone temperature is too high.
Check that the nose conditioning lever, located on the copilot’s right
console, is in the normal, or forward, position. This allows cabin air to be
used for inflight ventilation of the electronic components mounted in the
nose cone.
EFIS and MFD symbol generators are located in the nose cone and do
require ventilation. However, certain radios, a radar, and navigation units
are also located in this area. This additional electronic equipment varies
from aircraft to aircraft. It is recommended that an inventory of the
components contained in the nose cone be made available on board each
aircraft in the event that an electrical isolation becomes necessary.
PRESSURIZATION
IMPROPER CABIN VERTICAL SPEED
This is an erratic indication on the cabin vertical speed indicator when the
cabin pressure should be maintaining a stable differential pressure. Certain
steps are necessary to ensure that the controls and switches are in their proper
position for flight.
Check the manual pressurization knob to be sure it is set in the green index
on the dial. The automatic pressurization system is calibrated to maintain
cabin pressure automatically with the manual pressurization knob in the
green index. Here it commands a closed configuration on the pneumatic
outflow valve. If the knob is not in this position, the system will not operate
properly, as the automatic system will try to compensate for the knob being
out of its proper calibrated position, commanding a change on the
pneumatic outflow valve, thus causing an erratic vertical speed indication.
Ensure that the air-conditioning valve switches are in the auto position, or
if that does not seem to correct the problem, move them to the on position.
This will bypass the automatic opening circuit and allow the valves to go
to full open. Check that the PRV 2 and PRV 3 switches are selected to auto
to ensure a proper air supply to the bleed-air manifold for air-conditioning
and pressurization purposes.
Use the manual knob to control cabin pressure. Moving the switch
counterclockwise, from the 1- or 2-o’clock position, commands a cabin
down signal to the pneumatic outflow valve. Moving the knob to its full
counterclockwise position closes the pneumatic outflow valve and
commands an approximate 1,500-foot-per-minute rate of descent for the
cabin, thereby increasing pressure differential.
If the cabin pressure does not decrease, the automatic regulation system may
be inoperative. Take the following steps:
This closes the electric valves of the cockpit and passenger cabin air-
conditioning system, shutting off the flow of bleed air into the aircraft.
Without the flow of air, the pressure differential should decrease.
If flight requirements so dictate maintaining altitude, cycle the crew and pas-
senger switches off to on periodically to maintain a cabin altitude no higher
than 8,000 feet or a cabin differential pressure no greater than approximately
9 psi. Descend, as required.
The red CABIN light will illuminate accompanied by the aural “cabin” warn-
ing as heard from the cockpit speaker system. This indicates that the cabin al-
titude has climbed higher than 10,000 feet. This is a loss of cabin pressure and
should be dealt with in a timely manner. If climbing, the climb should be stopped
until the problem is corrected. A descent may even be in order. If at a high al-
titude, immediate donning of the oxygen masks is mandatory by all occupants.
Check that the crew and passenger air-conditioning valve switches are on and
that air is coming into the aircraft. PRV 2 and 3 switches must be in auto. If
these actions have not been taken, then air will not be able to enter the aircraft
cabin. It is suggested that the crew and passenger air-conditioning valve
switches be placed to the on position if it is thought that the automatic feature
is not working.
When placing the baggage switch to ISOL, you shut off the supply of hot
air to the baggage compartment and close the isolation valve between the
main passenger cabin and the baggage compartment. In the event there is a
pressure leak in the baggage compartment area, it will be isolated by this
step, thereby conserving main cabin depressurization. Check to see if the
cabin altitude is still increasing or is too high, and confirm illumination of
the BAG ISOL light on the warning panel and mechanics panel.
On the copilot’s right console, pull the nose conditioning lever aft to the
closed position. This isolates the nose cone from the main cabin of the
aircraft, and preserves cabin pressurization should a pressure leak exist in
the nose cone area.
Use the manual knob to control cabin pressure. Moving the switch
counterclockwise, from the 1- or 2-o’clock position, commands a cabin
down signal to the pneumatic outflow valve. Moving the knob to its full
counterclockwise position closes the pneumatic outflow valve and
commands an approximate 1,500-foot-per-minute rate of descent for the
cabin, thereby increasing pressure differential.
This action separates the bleed-air manifold. The ISOL light should come
on. This is an attempt to see if there is a bleed-air leak in one side of the
manifold or the other. If there is a leak, it will be isolated to one side, and
bleed air will be available from the other side for air conditioning and
pressurization.
8. Cycle the crew and passenger air-conditioning valve switches on and off
alternately to determine which is the operating system for maintaining air
conditioning and pressurization.
Leave the operating system switch on, and turn the malfunctioning system
switch off.
OR
Moving this switch to EMERG causes the closure of the passenger air-
conditioning system electric valve and moves the electric valve of the crew
air-conditioning system to the full hot position. This bypasses the total
conditioning system and allows engine bleed air to be directed straight to
the cabin of the aircraft, through the crew air-conditioning system. If the
aircraft stays in this configuration for long, the air inside the cabin will
begin to get warm.
THEN
As the temperature of the cabin gets warmer, select manual control on the
crew temperature control panel, and move the temperature control toward
cold. However, do not move the temperature control to less than 50% hot,
i.e., less than half way of the dial. To go lower than 50% hot would mean
that you could start losing pressure again as more air is channeled through
the heat exchanger and other temperature-lowering devices.
This will close off the flow of hot bleed air to the cabin. However, keep a
vigilance on the pressurization needs of the aircraft relative to the altitude
through which the descent is made.
OR
Set the audio panels on each side console to MASK and C’PIT for hot
mike communications in the cockpit.
Smoking and oxygen are not a good mix in an aircraft. A verbal directive
over the loud speaker system might be appropriate as well.
The red cabin light illuminates without any aural warning. If the aural warning
were heard, it is another abnormal procedure for too high a cabin altitude.
This indicates that either the cabin access door is not fully closed or the
forward toilet service door (for those aircraft so equipped) is not fully closed
and latched.
Visually check the position of the index marks on the handle and the two
crankpins in their tracks on the doorframe.
2. Exit the aircraft and check that the forward toilet service door is properly
latched closed.
If in flight:
Turn on the FASTEN BELTS sign and announce over the cabin paging
system that passengers must take their seats.
Visually check the alignment of the index marks on the handle and the
position of the two crankpins in their tracks on the doorframe. The two
microswitches for cabin door warning indication are located in the bottom
of each crankpin track.
Case 2
REAR
DOORS
This light indicates that either the baggage compartment external door, or the
rear compartment door, is not fully closed and latched.
WARNING
This light should normally be out. If it is on, ascertain that the baggage
compartment has been evacuated and that the baggage access door is
closed and latched.
Case 3
BAG
ACCESS
This light should normally be out. This light comes on when a person opens
the access door to the baggage compartment. Entry to the baggage compart-
ment is permitted in flight to a maximum flight level of 410.
If the baggage compartment is not in use, visually check for proper closing
of the baggage compartment access door.
Case 4
BAG
ISOL
This emergency manual setting for the controller should deploy the masks
if the automatic system fails.
This light illuminates if the APU bleed-air valve is not completely closed
whenever the bleed switch is off or when one of the power levers is moved
beyond 54° of power lever movement and the valve has not automatically closed.
WINDSHIELD
CRACK OR BUBBLES FORM
If a windshield gets fissured or cracked, the flight can be continued without
danger. Pressurization integrity should be maintained.
Pilot and copilot windshield heat switches should be selected to the same
position.
A message will also appear on the ID 802: PITCH MISTRIM NOSE or NOSE
DOWN. This indicates that there is a permanent load on the pitch servomotor.
Before disconnecting the autopilot, grasp and hold the control wheel
firmly to overcome any out-of-trim condition that might exist when the
autopilot is disconnected.
In other words, hand fly the aircraft and retrim the surfaces.
Case 2
MISTRIM
A message will also appear on the ID 802: RETRIM ROLL R WING DOWN
or L WING DOWN. This indicates that there is a permanent load on the roll
servomotor.

NOTE
In the event of the failure of the EHSI CRT, on air-
craft so equipped with the multifunction display, the
MFD controller may be selected to the HSI position,
if required.
1. Place the mode selector switch in the EHSI position corresponding to the
inoperative CRT.
The EHSI display will now appear on the MFD. The composite on the
EHSI will disappear, leaving the full EADI display that formerly appeared
on the EADI CRT.
2. Place the mode selector switch in the EHSI position corresponding to the
inoperative CRT.
The EHSI display will now appear on the MFD. The composite on the
EADI will disappear, leaving the full EADI display.
This will allow the good EFIS information that is presented on the other
pilot’s side to be transferred to the side that was experiencing a
malfunction. White XSG annunciators will illuminate on the EADI and
EHSI. One symbol generator supplies all four CRTs. The center CRT
goes blank.
NOTE
The MFD symbol generator may be used in the backup
mode for both the pilot and copilot symbol genera-
tors simultaneously. The crossover annunciation is
an amber XSG flag on all four CRTs.
2. Place the mode selector switch in the EHSI position corresponding to the
inoperative CRT.
• Cross-side data
NOTE
If the aircraft is equipped with a third IRS, IRS 3 may
be used in the backup mode for both IRS 1 and IRS
2 simultaneously. The associated display is an amber
IRS annunciator on all four CRTs.
Push the IRS button to cross over to the other side IRS. White XIRS flags
will appear on the EADI and EHSI. Attitude data is supplied by the
operational IRS.
NOTE
If the aircraft is equipped with a third IRS, IRS 3 may
be used in the backup mode for both IRS 1 and IRS
2 simultaneously. The associated display is an amber
IRS annunciator on all four CRTs.
When the faulty IRS is identified, on the EFIS reversion controller panel on
the faulty side:
To cross over the system, to put the operative side on the bad side, push
the IRS pushbutton, and observe that an XIRS flag appears. Turn off the
bad IRS.
Compare the readings on the standby compass and RMI against the
readings on each EHSI. From this comparison, the faulty IRS can be
identified.
Procedure A
If the faulty IRS is in the NAV mode and the position indication is correct,
on the reversion controller for the faulty side IRS:
To cross over the system, to put the operative side on the bad side, push
the IRS pushbutton, and observe that an XIRS flag appears.
OR
Procedure B
If the faulty side IRS is in the NAV mode, but the position indication is
incorrect, on the mode select unit (MSU) of the faulty IRS:
2. Selector................................................................................................. ATT
Move the MSU knob from NAV to ATT. This eliminates the navigation
computer and allows the IRS to become a basic attitude reference system.
To enter the correct heading for the FMS to track its IRS, you must select
the POS SENSORS page on the FMS. When this page comes into view,
select the status page of the IRS that is in ATT. Enter the heading in the
space provided on this page. The heading may be obtained from the
information provided by the other FMS or from the standby magnetic
compass if straight and level and with the windshield heat off.
This action will allow the crossover of IAS and Mach information from
the good side. The XIAS annunciators in each EADI should illuminate.
It is possible that a DADC DATA INVALID message will appear in the ID 802
as well.
After the faulty DADC has been identified, on the faulty side reversion
controller:
This action will allow the crossover of IAS and Mach information from
the good side. The XIAS annunciators in each EADI should illuminate.
Check each navigation radio for proper identification of the facility, and
try to determine which radio is malfunctioning. Turn the bad navigation
receiver off and:
Continually cross-check the position given by one FMS and IRS with the
position given by the other side FMS and IRS.
2. Select the FMS of the good side for navigation on its respective EHSI.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
GENERAL
Where these emergency checklist procedures differ from the Airplane Flight
Manual, the Airplane Flight Manual takes precedence.
• Phase 2 items shall be completed only after phase 1 items have been
accomplished by checklist.
The Airplane Operating Manual prescribes the following procedure if the fire
aural warning sounds without the presence of a FIRE light:
• If a FIRE light does not come on, the fire corresponds to that light.
• If all the FIRE lights come on, the aural warning is a false alarm.
In all cases, carefully observe all other indications and instruments to con-
firm either a malfunction or a false alarm.
ENGINE FIRE
FIRE + AURAL WARNING
NOTE
The following procedure must be followed, whether
or not the FAULT light is on.
Phase 1
After positively identifying the engine affected and silencing the aural warning:
Moving the power lever cutoff closes the fuel supply to the engine at the
fuel control.
Raise the guard on the fuel shutoff switch (Figure EP-1) and move the
switch up to electrically close the fuel shutoff valve. The fuel shutoff valve
is located in the crossfeed manifold downstream from the fuel tank system.
Carefully observe that the amber TRANS light, located under the fuel
shutoff switch, comes on and then goes out after the shutoff switch is
actuated. This light will illuminate during the movement of the valve in
order to confirm positioning of the valve with the position of the switch.
Phase 2
Proceed with phase 2 items after phase 1 items have been verified by
the checklist.
CAUTION
After the fire has been extinguished, do not attempt
to restart the affected engine.
Engine Shutdown
6. Booster Switch ..................................................................................... OFF
Move the respective engine booster switch to the off position, unless the
pump is needed for fuel management purposes, and check for illumination
of the corresponding fuel light on the warning panel. If the No. 2 engine is
shut down, No. 2 system fuel must be consumed first in order to maintain
a correct center of gravity.
The generator switch should be placed off to remove the affected generator
from the electrical circuitry.
With the No. 2 engine shut down, generator power to the right side
electrical buses is lost. To prevent the No. 2 battery from being depleted,
tie the bus to supply the right-side bus from the No. 1 and No. 3
generators. Check the generator volts and amps to ensure the buses have
been tied. A higher-than-normal bus load may be indicated on the
remaining generators. This higher load may be caused by the No. 2 battery
being charged after tying the buses. Continue to monitor bus loading until
the No. 2 battery is fully charged.
Consider moving the standby hydraulic pump switch to ON. The engine-
driven hydraulic pump may not have sufficient windmilling rpm for normal
operation of the No. 2 hydraulic system components. In flight, in the AUTO
position, the standby pump cycles only to support airbrake operations.
CAUTION
If in icing conditions, operate the No. 2 engine anti-
ice even with the engine shut down. The S-duct will
continue to be anti-iced through bleed air supplied
from the main manifold by the No. 1 and No. 3 en-
gine.
The aircraft must be landed at the nearest suitable airport for inspection
and repair.
If a fire breaks out during a starting attempt, or when shutting down the en-
gine, the engine must be rotated, with the power lever set to cutoff, until the
fire is out.
Move the power lever to cutoff to shut off the fuel at the fuel control.
Move the fuel shutoff switch (Figure EP-2) up to shut off fuel at the fuel
manifold for the engine affected.
Hold the respective engine start button depressed until the fire goes out.
This rotates the engine without the presence of fuel, an action that should
evacuate any residual fuel, causing the fire to extinguish.
This is done to keep fumes from entering the cabin of the aircraft.
Initiate the evacuation when crew and passengers have been breifed. Fire
brigade is also advised.
APU FIRE
See Figure EP-2 for location of the FIRE APU and FAULT indicator light.
NOTE
The following procedure must be followed, whether
or not the FAULT light is on.
NOTE
If a fire or an overheat is detected and indicated, the
APU stops automatically through closure of the
fuel shutoff valve and removal of the electrical
power supply.
This action is taken to ensure power is removed from the APU electrical
control circuitry.
This action is necessary to close off any potential air supply to the cabin to
prevent smoke or fumes from entering.
NOTE
Wait for ten seconds to allow the APU to come to a
complete stop before discharging the fire extin-
guisher. This will ensure that the discharge agent
stays within the APU compartment to increase the ef-
fectiveness of the agent.
There is only one position on the APU extinguisher switch that fires one
bottle to the APU compartment. This same bottle is used for protection of
the baggage compartment.
The fuel supply to the APU is provided through the No. 2 engine fuel
system. If the fire persisted, shutdown of the No. 2 engine is required to
further attempt to isolate the cause of the fire. Check for illumination and
then extinguishing of the TRANS light on the fire panel.
The No. 2 engine must be shut down as well to permit access to the APU
by firefighting personnel. This is the continuing cleanup procedure to
ensure engine shutdown.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to restart the APU after it has been
shut down, due to a fire or an overheat condition.
Phase 1
1. XAT
BAG Switch....................................................................................... HE
Move the BAG switch from NORM to the HE XAT position. This action
shuts off the hot bleed-air supply to the baggage compartment. Because
the isolation valve between the cabin and baggage compartment is still
open, the pressure between the two compartments should remain equal,
allowing the baggage access door to be opened for firefighting purposes.
NOTE
For aircraft registered in the United States, Australia,
Italy, and the U.K., access to the baggage compart-
ment is not authorized when the aircraft altitude is
above 41,000 feet. Modifications to the following
procedures must be made in order to comply with this
restriction when above 41,000 feet.
CAUTION
The lavatory door must be properly closed prior to
opening the baggage compartment door to prevent
smoke and fumes from entering the passenger cabin.
This will close the isolation valve between the cabin and baggage
compartment in order to keep fumes from entering the main cabin.
Confirmation of valve closing is obtained by illumination of both the
BAG ISOL light and ISOL light indications on the mechanic’s panel.
It may serve a secondary purpose by starving the oxygen supply to a
fire existing in the compartment. Your judgment in evaluating this
situation and applying the proper decision-making process is certainly
very important.
Phase 2
3. Land as soon as possible.
The aircraft must be landed at the nearest suitable airport for inspection
and repair.
NOTE
There is no fire-extinguishing system for the wheel
wells. The warning can originate from either wheel
well, usually caused by overheated brake units.
However, if the wheel well heating system has been in-
stalled, this system could be the cause of the warning.
This is the maximum airspeed for landing gear operations (VLO). Slow to
this speed before extending the landing gear.
Place the normal landing gear selector handle down to extend the gear.
Check for normal indications during the extension of the landing gear.
Keep the landing gear down until the overheat warning light(s) is out, but
not for less than ten minutes. Do not exceed 245 KIAS while the landing
gear are extended.
3. Brake Heating System (A/C Equipped with this System) ................... OFF
This will close the respective brake heat valves and limit the introduction
of heated air into the wheel well area.
CAUTION
The overheat condition may have caused brake and/or
tire damage. Make a shallow final approach and as
soft a landing as possible.
NOTE
Unless a greater emergency exists, it is advisable to
leave the landing gear extended until landing at the
nearest suitable airport is achieved, especially if tire
or brake damage is suspected.
AIR-CONDITIONING SMOKE
The warning associated with this emergency may be smoke originating from
the air-conditioning outlets and the gaspers.
Phase 1
1. Crew Oxygen Masks and Smoke Goggles....................... 100%/DONNED
The crew oxygen masks must be put on immediately upon the detection of
smoke. Be careful of eye glasses when putting on the masks to avoid
personal injury or to avoid a poor fit of the mask around the glasses. The
mask must fit tightly around the face to ensure smoke does not penetrate
the mask and enter the breathing passages. Ensure that the
NORMAL–100% oxygen selector button on the front of the mask is in the
100% (pure oxygen) position. Remove the smoke goggles from their
storage area and place them over the eyes with a tight fit to ensure proper
vision during the smoke/fire emergency.
3. No Smoking Sign................................................................................... ON
On the copilot’s right console, move the selector switch on the passenger
oxygen panel clockwise to OVERRIDE and check that the pneumatic
PASS ON indicator is fully open. This position drops the passenger oxygen
masks from their storage bins at each passenger position and allows a flow
of oxygen when the passenger pulls the mask down and then dons it.
Before takeoff on the first flight of the day, the passengers must be briefed
on the location and proper use of the masks. A crewmember must ensure
that the passengers have properly donned their masks in the event of this
emergency.
Phase 2
1. Crew Gaspers .................................................................................... OPEN
On the overhead panel, move the isolation valve knob to a straight up and
down position to isolate the bleed-air manifold into a left and right
configuration. The amber ISOL light located above the knob should be on,
indicating the valve is closed. Once the isolation valve is closed, carefully
watch the cabin and crew air-conditioning outlets to see if there is a
change in the smoke entering the aircraft.
I f s m o ke i s n o l o n g e r o b s e r ve d t o b e c o m i n g t h r o u g h t h e c r ew a i r-
conditioning system, there is no need to set the crew air-conditioning switch
to OFF.
If the smoke decreases or disappears after this action, the smoke was
coming from the No. 1 or No. 3 engine. There are two alternatives to
consider. Follow alternative 1 or 2 below:
OR
If smoke persists:
5. Crew Bleed-Air Switch.......................................................................... ON
The passenger bleed-air system becomes suspect at this point. To keep air
coming into the aircraft before proceeding further with the checklist, move
the crew bleed-air switch to ON.
Since the crew bleed-air switch is the only bleed on, an attempt to control
the flow of cold air to a minimum will be made. Set the crew temperature
controller to MANUAL, and hold the manual COLD–HOT selector to the
HOT position until the indicator needle moves toward the H indication,
about 40% away from the left side of the gage.
If the smoke decreases or disappears, continue the flight and use the crew tem-
perature controller, as required, to establish the proper cabin temperature. Do
not select a position lower than 40% HOT.
The only remaining procedure is to turn off the entire bleed-air supply to
the air-conditioning system. The aircraft will now begin to depressurize,
yet may still be filled with smoke.
CAUTION
The following procedure must not be applied if flames
are present in the cabin or cockpit.
Lower the guard on the dump switch, and set the switch to the DUMP
position. This action opens the outflow valves and dumps the cabin
pressure at a rapid rate down to the cabin altitude limiter altitude of
14,000 ±500 feet. Smoke should be evacuated from the cabin during the
dump operation.
If required to help eliminate smoke from the cockpit, the pilot’s direct-
vision window may be opened.
Phase 3
1. Descend to 10,000 feet or to the minimum safe altitude for the
route flown.
The aircraft must be landed at the nearest suitable airport for inspection
and repair.
The crew oxygen masks must be put on immediately upon the detection of
smoke. Be careful of eye glasses when putting on the masks to avoid
personal injury and to avoid a poor fit of the mask around the glasses. The
mask must fit tightly around the face to ensure smoke does not penetrate
the mask and enter the breathing passages. Ensure that the
NORMAL–100% oxygen selector button on the front of the mask is in the
100% (pure oxygen) position. Remove the smoke goggles from their
storage area, and place them over the eyes with a tight fit to ensure proper
vision during the smoke/fire emergency.
3. No Smoking Sign................................................................................... ON
On the copilot’s right console, move the selector switch on the passenger
oxygen panel clockwise to OVERRIDE and check that the pneumatic
PASS ON indicator is fully open. This position drops the passenger
oxygen masks from their storage bins at each passenger position and
allows a flow of oxygen when the passenger pulls the mask down and then
dons it. Before takeoff on the first flight of the day, the passengers must be
briefed on the location and proper use of the masks. A crewmember must
ensure that the passengers have properly donned their masks in the event
of this emergency.
Phase 2
1. Crew Air Gaspers.............................................................................. OPEN
OR
If the origin of the fire or smoke is not evident, and if flight conditions
permit a total electrical shutdown:
If inflight situational conditions will permit such an action, turn off all
BAT and GEN switches to shut off all electrical power supplied to the
aircraft. After the fire/smoke has stopped, attempt to find the source of the
fire/smoke by turning on the batteries, one at a time, to see which bus side
causes the fire/smoke to recur. When the origin is known:
Turn off the BAT switch for the bus which is causing the fire/smoke.
OR
If the origin of the fire or smoke is not evident, and if flight conditions do
not permit a total electrical shutdown:
Move the BAT 2 and GEN 2 control switches to the OFF position. This
action eliminates the electrical power supply to the right DC electrical
buses. The amber BAT 2 and GEN 2 lights on the master failure warning
panel will illuminate.
Ensure that this normal flight configuration, one which isolates the right
DC bus from the left DC bus, is maintained. This is necessary in order that
the troubleshooting procedure be effective.
Since the left DC buses are no longer supplied with electrical power,
which includes control of automatic pressurization, the manual mode must
be selected to control the cabin pressure. Adjust the manual pressurization
control knob, as required, to control the cabin pressure within limits.
This action removes electrical power from the left DC electrical buses in
order to further troubleshoot the cause of the problem.
The aircraft must be landed at the nearest suitable airport for inspection
and repair.
If smoke persists:
CAUTION
The following procedure must not be applied if flames
are present in the cabin or cockpit.
If required to help eliminate smoke from the cockpit, the pilot’s direct-
vision window may be opened.
Phase 3
1. Descend to 10,000 feet or to the minimum safe altitude for the
route flown.
The aircraft must be landed at the nearest suitable airport for inspection
and repair.
SMOKE REMOVAL
Phase 1
1. Crew Oxygen Masks and Smoke Goggles....................... 100%/DONNED
The crew oxygen masks must be put on immediately upon the detection
smoke. Be careful of eye glasses when putting on the masks to avoid
personal injury and to avoid a poor fit of the mask around the glasses. The
mask must fit tightly around the face to ensure smoke does not penetrate
the mask and enter the breathing passages. Ensure that the
NORMAL–100% oxygen selector button on the front of the mask is in the
100% (pure oxygen) position. Remove the goggles from their storage area,
and place them over the eyes with a tight fit to ensure proper vision during
the smoke/fire emergency.
3. No Smoking Sign................................................................................... ON
On the copilot’s right console, move the selector switch on the passenger
oxygen panel clockwise to OVERRIDE, and check that the pneumatic
PASS ON indicator is fully open. This position drops the passenger
oxygen masks from their storage bins at each passenger position and
allows a flow of oxygen when the passenger pulls the mask down and then
dons it. Before takeoff on the first flight of the day, the passengers must be
briefed on the location and proper use of the masks. A crewmember must
ensure that the passengers have properly donned their masks in the event
of this emergency.
Phase 2
1. Crew Air Gaspers.............................................................................. OPEN
3. Descend to 14,000 feet or below or to the minimum safe altitude for the
route flown.
CAUTION
The following procedure must not be applied if flames
are present in the cabin or cockpit.
Lower the guard on the dump switch, and set the switch to the DUMP
position. This action opens the outflow valves and dumps the cabin
pressure at a rapid rate down to the cabin altitude limiter altitude of
14,000 ±500 feet. Smoke should be evacuated from the cabin during the
dump operation.
If required to help eliminate smoke from the cockpit, the pilot’s direct-
vision window may be opened.
Phase 3
1. Descend to 10,000 feet or to the minimum safe altitude for the
route flown.
The aircraft must be landed at the nearest suitable airport for inspection
and repair.
The REV UNLOCK light means the thrust reverser has deployed when it is
supposed to be fully stowed. The clamshell doors of the thrust reverser may
not be fully stowed and locked.
The TRANSIT light means the clamshell door claws are not locked.
Phase 1
1. No. 2 Engine....................................................................................... IDLE
Move the throttle on the No. 2 engine to idle to reduce the engine power
loads on the deployed clamshell doors.
On the center instrument panel, raise the guard on the switch and move the
switch upward to the stow position. This causes retraction of the thrust
reverser by overriding all other thrust reverser electrical circuitry,
regardless of the flight conditions or the position of the thrust reverser
lever or system microswitches.
Phase 2
If the thrust reverser stows:
1. Continue the flight with the NORM/STOW switch in the stow position.
Do not actuate the thrust reverser handle. Leave the NORM/STOW switch
in STOW to maintain a constant retraction signal with hydraulic pressure
on the stow side of the actuator.
NOTE
The drag associated from an idling No. 2 engine,
with the thrust reverser deployed, adversely affects
the performance characteristics of the aircraft. It is
recommended that the engine be shut down for ap-
proach and landing.
TWO-ENGINES INOPERATIVE—
APPROACH AND LANDING
PREPARATION
Reduce the aircraft weight as much as practical. If the actual weight of the
aircraft exceeds the maximum limits for landing weight, go-around or land-
ing distance, burn off fuel, if practical.
Determine the weight limitation for enroute climb gradient. This chart is
found in the Flight Manual, Section 5, subsection 60, page 2.
Check that the booster pumps and booster crossfeed valves are in the
proper configuration to ensure an uninterrupted flow of fuel to the
operating engine. A reasonable wing fuel balance should be maintained if
conditions permit. Group 2 fuel should be used first for proper weight-
and-balance maintenance of the aircraft center of gravity.
Tie the left and right DC buses together to ensure the one operating
generator supplies the electrical power requirements. The BUS TIED light
should be on.
Generator limitations of 300 amps, 350 amps for one minute, should be
observed. Check the buses for proper load distribution by the operating
generator. Turn off nonessential electrical equipment.
This action eliminates the tap-off of bleed air from the operating engine,
thus producing more power for flight.
The standby hydraulic pump is now available to back up the No. 2 engine-
driven hydraulic pump, should No. 2 system pressure drop below 1,500 psi.
The one remaining engine may not be able to supply sufficient bleed air
for anti-icing purposes without jeopardizing the power reserve required for
flight of the aircraft.
APPROACH
1. Flaps + Slat Handle..................................................... 7° FLAPS + SLATS
When in the traffic pattern, in preparation for the final approach, extend
the slats and flaps to the first detent, provided aircraft control and power
reserve permit.
3. Make the decision to land or go around at not less than 1,000 feet above
ground level.
NOTE
If the No. 1 or No. 3 engine is the operating engine,
the gear may be extended using the normal procedure.
CAUTION
The landing gear handle must be maintained down.
If all three green gear down lights illuminate and the landing gear handle
light (red) is not illuminated, the landing gear is down and locked. Do not ac-
tuate any landing gear controls.
If at least one green gear light does not illuminate and the landing gear han-
dle light is flashing , apply the FREE FALL EXTENSION procedure .
CAUTION
Rapidly alternating large rudder applications in com-
bination with large side-slip angles may result in
structural failure at any speed .
Gently apply up to full rudder to the left while accelerating (190 KIAS
max) until the left green gear down light is illuminated. Maintain wings
level with appropriate aileron input.
NOTE
Illumination of the green gear down light may take
more than 30 seconds with full rudder deflection .
Gently apply up to full rudder to the left while accelerating (190 KIAS
max) until the left green gear down light is illuminated. Maintain wings
level with appropriate aileron input.
NOTE
Illumination of the green gear down light may take
more than 30 seconds with full rudder deflection.
NOTE
Free fall extension of the three landing gear may
take approximatelytwo minutes to complete.
At some altitude below 1,000 feet above ground level, after the landing gear
is down and locked, extend the flaps to 20°, if performance will permit.
Airspeed on approach:
If this is selected as the final flap setting for landing, fly the approach at
this speed, plus the additive for the wind correction. Increase the normal
landing distance by 800 feet and the normal landing field length by
1,335 feet.
If this is selected as the final flap setting for landing, fly the approach at
this speed, plus the additive for the wind correction. Increase the normal
landing distance by 400 feet and the normal landing field length by
670 feet.
NOTE
With No. 1 and No. 3 engines inoperative, extend the
slats using the emergency system. Extend the gear
manually as described above.
AFTER TOUCHDOWN
1. Thrust Reverser (If Available)..................................................... APPLIED
If the No. 2 brake system must be used, use moderate braking, as antiskid
braking is not available. Use the thrust reverser to slow the aircraft to more
effective braking speeds. This is necessary to prevent skidding of the
wheels and the possibility of tire failure.
ON THE GO-AROUND
1. Engine Thrust (Full Power) .................................................................. SET
Place the landing gear selector up as the power is being applied to the
maximum. This is one case when you do not wait for a positive rate climb
before retracting the landing gear.
CAUTION
The landing gear cannot be retracted if No. 1 and
No. 3 engines are inoperative.
At V REF + 25 knots:
As soon as the airspeed reaches the 40° flap VREF + 25 knots, retract the
slats and flaps incrementally to clean.
5. Accelerate to and maintain the enroute climb speed, then begin to climb
the aircraft.
CAUTION
The altitude loss associated with this go-around pro-
cedure is approximately 500 feet.

Attempt to airstart all three engines, one at a time, using the Airstart
checklist found in the Abnormal Procedures section in this manual.
Selection as to which engine is to be started first must be based on the
factors that caused the engines to be shut down in the first place; that is,
choose the best engine first.
Phase 2
If no engine(s) can be started:
3. Extend the flaps/slats at VFE (200 KIAS) using the emergency slat system,
if necessary.
CAUTION
The landing gear should not be extended if a ditch-
ing is anticipated.
Phase 1
1. Autopilot and Yaw Damper .................................................. DISENGAGE
Phase 2
1. Avoid high-pitch attitudes and zones of air turbulence.
Very slight movements of the control surfaces are called for, making
gentle bank and pitch changes. If at all possible, avoid any known areas of
turbulence and high wind conditions.
LANDING PREPARATION
1. Flaps + Slats Handle ...................................................................... CLEAN
Since there is no hydraulic pressure to the systems, the flaps + slat handle
must not be actuated.
Push in on the latching mechanism to release the lock holding the handle
against the panel, and pull the handle aft to its mechanical stop.
CAUTION
Rapidly alternating large rudder applications in com-
bination with large side-slip angles may result in
structural failure at any speed .
Gently apply up to full rudder to the left while accelerating (190 KIAS
max) until the left green gear down light is illuminated. Maintain wings
level with appropriate aileron input.
NOTE
Illumination of the green gear down ligh may take
more than 30 seconds with full rudder deflection.
Gently apply up to full rudder to the left while accelerating (190 KIAS
max) until the left green gear down light is illuminated . Maintain wings
level with appropriate aileron input.
NOTE
Illumination of the green gear down light may take
more than 30 seconds with full rudder deflection .
NOTE
Free fall extension of the three landing gear may
take approximately two minutes to complete.
CAUTION
Do not actuate the landing gear controls, hydraulic
or mechanical, once the landing gear is down and
locked.
This is the minimum speed prescribed to maintain the safety margin from
stall when flying the aircraft in the clean-wing configuration.
NOTE
In the likelihood where high lift devices are already
extended, observe the following approach speeds:
CAUTION
The landing distance will be twice the nominal charted
40° flaps + slats landing distance.
AFTER TOUCHDOWN
1. Full Reverse Thrust .............................................................................. SET
In the event of a total hydraulic failure of the main systems, there may still
be accumulator hydraulic pressure available for at least one deployment of
the thrust reverser.
CAUTION
The hydraulic power-off condition requires greater
pilot forces. Landing requires greater caution
because directional control is available mainly by
rudder and differential forward thrust.
NOTE
During actual flight without hydraulic power, aircraft
maneuverability is reduced but remains sufficient in
all three axes when flight is maintained within the pre-
scribed flight envelope (260 KT/MI 0.76).
NOTE
Simultaneous illumination of these three lights in-
dicates that the three engine generators have been dis-
connected from the main DC buses. The generator
switches may be tripped off.
Check the voltmeter on each bus side to determine the voltage being
supplied to the buses.
Check the ammeters for each of the generators and batteries to determine
which unit is supplying the bus and the load being supplied.
If the generators have tripped, and if the batteries are the only source of elec-
trical power:
CAUTION
To limit the battery load, accomplish the following
in the sequence shown:
If not already in that position, ensure that the bus-tied switch is in the
flight normal position to isolate the left and right electrical buses.
On the side for which the generator is to be reset, ensure that the BAT
switch is on and the volts/amps are checked.
The reset attempt should be deferred until the engine is operating at flight
idle power to enhance the reset attempt.
Carefully observe the voltmeter and ammeter while resetting the generator.
Alternative 1
If the voltmeter deviates to maximum attempting the reset:
Turn and leave the GEN switch off should an overvoltage condition exist.
Before tying the buses, check the ammeter and voltmeter of each bus. Tie
the buses together unless a short is detected on one of the buses and check
that the bus-tied light is on. If a short is detected on one bus, do not tie the
buses. The battery supplying that bus will be depleted rapidly and
probably should be turned off.
Alternative 2
If voltmeter is within the green band:
Before tying the buses, check the ammeter and voltmeter of each bus for
normal values. Check that the bus-tied light is on.
NOTE
The following items are recommended for load-
shedding to help prolong battery life even longer:
CAUTION
Do not pull the fire warning circuit breakers. Pull the
following left-panel circuit breakers:
• Navigation section:
• AFCS 1, (4)
• RAD ALT 1, ALT 1, FMS 1, CDU 1
• IRS 3 BAT, IRS 3
• R/T WR, MFD/WRD
• SG 3
• GPWS
• Radio section:
• HF I (2)
• FLITE FONE
• ADF 1
CAUTION
If in icing conditions, do not pull the circuit break-
ers for anti-ice of the engines and wing. Additionally,
do not pull the circuit breaker for the pilot’s wind-
shield heat.
NOTE
Operation of the flaps and slats, airbrakes, and land-
ing gear appreciably increase the electrical demand
on the batteries.
In Icing Conditions
The load corresponds to a total output from the batteries of 82 amps at 24 volts
that ensures 25 minutes of operation with two 23-Ah batteries charged at 75%
of their capacity.
During Approach
During the last five minutes of flight, the load is increased. It can therefore
be considered that two 23-Ah batteries, charged at 75% of their capacity, pro-
vide sufficient reserve power in the following conditions:
or
RAPID DEPRESSURIZATION
Phase 1
1. Crew Oxygen Masks ........................................................ 100% DONNED
On the copilot’s right console, move the selector switch on the passenger
oxygen panel clockwise to OVERRIDE and check that the pneumatic
PASS ON indicator is fully open. this drops the passenger oxygen masks
from their storage bins at each passenger position and allows a flow of
oxygen when the passenger pulls the mask down and then dons it.
EMERGENCY DESCENT
CAUTION
This procedure assumes normal structural integrity
of the aircraft. If structural integrity is questionable,
limit the airspeed to the lowest practical value, and
avoid high maneuvering loads.
4. Descent........................................................................................ INITIATE
Lead the desired level-off altitude by at least 2,000 feet. Reduce the rate of
descent to a maximum of 2,000 feet per minute. Lead the final level-off
altitude at an altitude which is 10% of the rate of descent. Descend to
14,000 feet, the assigned altitude, or to the minimum safe altitude for the
route flown.
FORCED LANDING
PREPARATION
1. Communications Transmission............................. TRANSMIT MAYDAY
If carried, use the cabin attendant to prepare the passengers for this
emergency. If a cabin attendant is not carried, use the PA system to instruct
the passengers on their roles during this emergency. The passengers should
have already been prebriefed, prior to departure, on the conduct of
emergency procedures and the location and use of emergency equipment.
All cabin and cockpit occupants must have their seat belts tightly fastened
and, where applicable, have shoulder harnesses properly fastened and
locked. Smoking is prohibited throughout the aircraft.
On aircraft with the midcabin separation door, this door must be open and
the AFT CABIN ISOL light must be out.
NOTE
If possible, the jump seat should not be occupied in
the event of a forced landing. It must be stowed to
allow for the emergency egress of the pilots.
APPROACH
7. Wing Anti-ice....................................................................................... OFF
This is one of many procedures designed to close off the bleed-air systems
of the aircraft before landing.
This is done to isolate the cabin from engine bleed-air sources and to
prevent pressurization of the cabin.
• To release any residual pressure in the cabin that could prevent the
opening of the emergency exits after landing
If possible, the maximum flap setting should be used to fly the aircraft as
slow as possible for the landing.
With the flaps/slats set at 40° FLAPS + SLATS, fly the final approach at
the charted VREF speed.
On the FIRE PANEL, raise all three guards and raise the fuel shutoff
switches up to shut off the fuel supply to the engines at the respective
fuel tanks.
Move all three generator control switches to off to cut off the generated
electrical power supply to the buses.
This removes the remaining electrical power supply to the electrical buses
to prevent electrical sparking and fire. The aircraft will no longer be
powered except for any emergency battery power that, if possible, should
probably be turned off as well to prevent any fire after landing.
This ensures manual shutoff of fuel to the engines at the fuel control of
each engine.
Break the safety wire on the three engine fire extinguisher switches and
move them up through position 1 to position 2. The battery bus will fire
the four extinguisher bottles to the engines to extinguish any fire that may
be started as a result of the impact of the forced landing.
If it hasn’t already been stowed, stow it to clear the way for cockpit
evacuation.
Open the emergency exit located over the right wing and evacuate the
aircraft. Be cautious for fire that may have erupted about the aircraft.
Selection of the proper emergency exit should depend on a careful
evaluation of the total situation.
NOTE
At night, it is recommended that the aircraft be evac-
uated by way of the wing emergency exit.
DITCHING
PREPARATION
1. Communications Transmission............................. TRANSMIT MAYDAY
If carried, use the cabin attendant to prepare the passengers for this
emergency. If a cabin attendant is not carried, use the PA system to instruct
the passengers on their roles during this emergency. The passengers should
have already been prebriefed, prior to departure, on the conduct of
emergency procedures and the location and use of emergency equipment.
Direct the passengers and crew to remove the life jackets from storage and
put them on. Life jackets are not to be inflated until the crew and
passengers evacuate the aircraft.
All cabin and cockpit occupants must have their seat belts tightly fastened
and, where applicable, have shoulder harnesses properly fastened and
locked. Smoking is prohibited throughout the aircraft.
On aircraft with the midcabin separation door, this door must be open and
the AFT CABIN ISOL light must be out.
NOTE
If possible, the jump seat should not be occupied in
the event of a ditching. It must be stowed for safety
and to allow for the emergency egress of the pilots.
Pull out the AUDIO WARN A circuit breaker, located on primary bus A1,
and the AUDIO WARN B circuit breaker, located on primary bus B1, to
shut off the audio warning that would sound when the landing gear is left
up and the slats-flaps are placed to 40° FLAPS + SLATS for landing.
This is one of many procedures designed to close off the bleed-air systems
of the aircraft before ditching. This, and other bleed-air isolation actions,
provides airtight systems and subsystems for enhancement of the flotation
characteristics of the aircraft.
This is done to further isolate the cabin from engine bleed-air sources and
to prevent pressurization of the cabin.
This will isolate the cabin and baggage compartment by closing the
baggage compartment heating valve and the cabin isolation valve. Check
BAG ISOL light on.
• To release any residual pressure in the cabin that could prevent the
opening of the emergency exits after ditching.
Ensure that the landing gear is retracted prior to ditching. Ditching with
the gear down will cause immediate loss of aircraft control upon first
contact with the water. The bottom of the aircraft should be kept
streamlined for entry into the water for better aircraft control.
If possible, the maximum flap setting should be used to fly the aircraft as
slow as possible for the ditching.
With the slats/flaps set at 40° FLAPS + SLATS, fly the final approach at
the charted VREF speed. Because the gear is not down and locked, the gear
warning horn will sound and cannot be silenced unless the audio warning
A and the audio warning B circuit breakers are pulled.
Move all three generator control switches to off to cut off the generated
electrical power supply to the buses.
This removes the remaining electrical power supply to the electrical buses
to prevent electrical sparking and fire. The aircraft will no longer be
powered except for any emergency battery power which, if possible,
should be turned off to prevent any fire after ditching.
21. Contact the water on the crest, parallel to the swell, and with a noseup
attitude of 12° to 15.5°.
If possible, fly into the wind at the lowest possible airspeed. Fly parallel to
the main swell, and contact the water on the crest of the main swell.
AFTER TOUCHDOWN
22. Power Levers (3) .......................................................................... CUTOFF
The engines should be kept running until after touchdown to provide for
controlled flight until the proper spot is picked for ditching. This ensures
manual shutoff of fuel to the engines at the fuel control of each engine.
If it has not already been stowed, stow it to clear the way for cockpit
evacuation.
Open the emergency exit located over the right wing, and evacuate the
aircraft. Deploy the life line to the anchor point on the right wing next to
the gravity-fueling cap. Inflate the life rafts only when they are outside the
aircraft. The life raft may be secured to the ring holding the life line to the
wing to keep it in place until all occupants are on board. Crew and
passengers should not inflate their life vests until they are clear of the
window or door.
Selection of the proper emergency exit, either the emergency exit over the
wing or the main cabin door, should depend on a careful evaluation of the
total situation.

Takeoff
The takeoff weight is limited by the most restrictive of the following:
• Brake energy
• Climb gradients
Landing
The landing weight is limited by the following:
CENTER OF GRAVITY
General
The center-of-gravity limits are expressed in percent of MAC (mean aero-

OPERATING LIMITATIONS
KIND OF OPERATION
This aircraft is certified in the transport category and is eligible for the fol-
lowing kinds of operations when the appropriate instruments and equipment
required by the authorities and/or operating regulations are installed and ap-
proved and are in operable condition :
• Day and night VFR, if permitted by the regulations of the country over-
which the aircraft is flying
• Extended overwater
• Icing conditions
° The aircraft is not allowed to fly on routes equipped only with ATC
secondary radars operating in UVD mode.
° For aircraft without M1846: the aircraft can fly only on routes
equipped with VOR/DME . The VOR/DME ruptures are limited to
one hour and 20 minutes on routes which are ±5 km (2.7 NM)
width, and two hours and 40 minutes on routes which are ±10 km
(5.4 NM) width.
• When crossing directly over the north or south pole, the IRS longi-
tude requires 20 to 30 seconds to make the 180° transition.
• APU must be disengaged when crossing the pole . Fly across the pole
with wings level until the FMS bearing pointer is stabilized at or near
the desired FMS track.
• Do not use heading select or heading hold since these modes are
subject to the 180° change of heading at the pole.
RVSM
Reduced vertical separation minimum (RVSM) requirements are met provided
aircraft complies with SB F900-186.

COORDINATION MANEUVER
The objective of this maneuver is to sharpen the coordination and control skills
of the pilot while flying Dassault Aircraft and Level C simulators. This ma-
neuver is especially helpful for pilots undergoing initial training in either the
aircraft or simulator. It is also useful for pilots undergoing current training
to assist in the application of coordination skills to the flying of the Level C
simulator.
For initial training pilots, this maneuver is performed during the first train-
ing ride in the Level C simulator; accomplishment of the maneuver is
recommended but is optional dependent upon individual pilot proficiency.
This maneuver is normally accomplished after the steep turn maneuvers and
prior to the stall series. It is accomplished at the same altitude as prescribed
for the stall series. It is set up and performed as follows:
1. Begin a slowdown from 250 to 160 knots using airbrakes and a power
reduction. When airspeed tapers to 160 knots, retract the airbrakes and
adjust power to maintain 160 knots and assigned altitude.
2. Establish a 60° arc on the pilot’s flight director by setting the head-
ing bug on one heading and the course arrow on a heading 60° left or
right of the heading bug. The aircraft/Level C simulator should be on
a heading within the lateral limits of the 60° arc set on the flight
director.
3. When established at 160 knots in the clean configuration, establish a
15° angle of bank turning maneuver alternating left and right be-
tween the lateral limits of the 60° arc. Maintain assigned altitude and
160 knots airspeed.
4. At the second reversal on the arc, and for each subsequent turn reversal,
incrementally configure the aircraft/Level C simulator to the landing
APPROACH-TO-STALL SERIES
General
The approach-to-stall series should be performed at an altitude above 10,000
feet above ground level and below flight level 180. To approximate flight con-
ditions and satisfy FAA requirements, the stall series is to be performed in
the clean, takeoff, and landing configurations. These procedures are devel-
oped for training use in the aircraft and Level C simulator.
Prior to beginning the approach to stall series, compute the V REF and set the
airspeed bugs accordingly.
Clean Configuration
This maneuver is performed while turning in a constant 15° angle of bank.
Airspeed at start of maneuver is 190 knots. Maintain assigned altitude. In a
Level C simulator, this may be performed at normal traffic pattern altitudes
to present realism.
1. Power setting—50% N 1
2. Trim—Do not use stabilizer trim below an airspeed which is 10 knots
above expected stall indication speed.
3. Stall indication normally occurs at a speed of V REF +20 knots.
4. Recovery—At the first indication of stall:
a. Maximum power—Smoothly advance power levers to maximum
power setting. Copilot monitors limitations.
b. Simultaneously and smoothly roll the wings level. This action
lowers the stall speed.
c. Smoothly maintain pitch only enough to stop the stall warning
or buffet and minimize altitude excursions. It is expected that as-
signed altitude be maintained throughout this maneuver. Avoid
abrupt control movements to preclude secondary stall warnings.
d. Accelerate to and hold 190 knots airspeed.
Takeoff Configuration
This maneuver is performed while turning in a constant 15° angle of bank,
preferably in a direction opposite from the one used in the previous maneu-
ver. Airspeed at start of maneuver is 190 knots. Maintain assigned altitude.
In a Level C simulator, this may be performed at normal traffic pattern
altitudes to present realism.
1. Landing gear—Up
2. Flaps/leading-edge devices—Set flaps 20° + slats.
3. Power setting—After flaps/leading-edge devices are extended:
60% N 1 .
4. Trim—Do not use stabilizer trim below an airspeed which is 10 knots
above expected stall indication speed.
5. Stall indication normally occurs at V REF –15 knots.
6. Recovery—At the first indication of stall:
a. Maximum power—Smoothly advance power levers to maximum
power setting. Copilot monitors limitations.
b. Simultaneously and smoothly roll the wings level.
c. Smoothly maintain pitch only enough to stop the stall warning
or buffet and minimize altitude excursions. It is expected that
assigned altitude be maintained throughout this maneuver. Avoid
abrupt control movements to preclude secondary stall warnings.
d. Accelerate to and hold 190 knots airspeed. Do not retract flaps
or leading edge devices.
Landing Configuration
This maneuver is performed while holding a constant heading. Airspeed at
start of maneuver is 190 knots. Maintain assigned altitude while configuring
the aircraft and setting power.
Performance Standards
• Smooth and positive aircraft control throughout the series
EMERGENCY DESCENT
This maneuver affords training in the recommended procedures for establishing
the highest practical rate of descent possible during emergency conditions aris-
ing from an uncontrollable fire, sudden loss of pressurization, or any other
situation dictating an immediate and rapid descent.
1. Review the approach chart for the approved procedure and prescribed
minimums. Conduct the ILS approach in accordance with these charted
procedures and as prescribed by the controlling ATC agency.
2. The Descent checklist should be accomplished prior to entry for the
approach. Set all instruments for the approach, and ensure that the ap-
proach briefing has been completed prior to being cleared for approach.
3. Tune and identify the VOR and ADF radios that will be used for the
approach. Heading and course values will be set on the respective
instruments in preparation for the approach. Ensure that the RMI
pointers have been properly selected.
4. Prior to crossing high station outbound, slow the aircraft to 190 knots
in the clean configuration. If using the flight director for the approach,
the heading mode should be selected on the flight director control panel
until the aircraft is aligned within 90° of the inbound course and the
aircraft is proceeding inbound for course intercept.
5. At high station outbound, set the slats/flaps to S +20°, and complete
the Approach checklist. Slow the aircraft to 150 knots, and maneu-
ver through the procedure turn as prescribed on the approach chart.
6. When inbound from procedure turn and established for course inter-
cept (normally a 45° intercept heading), select the approach mode on
the flight director control panel (if flight director is used for ap-
proach). Intercept the final approach course, and proceed inbound to
the final approach fix or glide-slope intercept point at the prescribed
altitude.
7. When the glideslope is alive and reaches 1 dot low, select the landing
gear down, and call for the Before Landing checklist.
8. When intercepting glideslope, extend the flaps to 40° and establish a
final approach speed of V REF plus the wind correction (1/2 the steady
wind plus the full gust, not to exceed 20 knots). Maintain the glide-
slope with elevator and airspeed with minor power adjustments. The
pilot making the approach will handle the throttles.
9. Cross-check instruments at 1,000, 500, and 100 feet above charted min-
imums. The pilot making the approach should remain on instruments
throughout the final approach. When a visual contact is definitely
established and a safe landing can be made, as verbally indicated by
the pilot not flying the approach, continue to the runway visually for
landing.

3. Tune and identify the VOR and/or ADF radios that will be used for
the approach. Heading and course values will be set on the respective
instruments in preparation for the approach. Ensure that the RMI
pointers have been properly selected.
4. Prior to crossing high station outbound, the aircraft should be slowed
to 190 knots in the clean configuration.
5. At high station outbound, set the slats/flaps to S +20°, and complete
the Approach checklist. Slow the aircraft to 150 knots, and maneu-
ver through the procedure turn as prescribed on the approach chart.
6. At the completion of procedure turn and prior to the final approach
fix (FAF), select the landing gear down, and complete the Before
Landing checklist. Maintain the airspeed at 150 knots, and cross the
FAF at this speed with all checklists accomplished.
7. At the FAF, start the timing; if the missed approach point is so based,
begin a descent to the minimum descent altitude (MDA) at a rate not
to exceed 1,000 feet per minute and at a speed of 150 knots. When MDA
is reached, fly the aircraft at MDA until visual contact with the run-
way is made or the missed approach point (MAP) is reached. If visual
contact is achieved and landing is assured, extend the flaps to 40°, and
slow the aircraft to the V REF speed plus the wind correction for land-
ing. If not visual prior to reaching the designated MAP, execute the
published missed approach procedure.

MINIMUMS
Although the Falcon 900 is considered a Category C aircraft in the true def-
inition as obtained from the TERPS Manual, it is recommended that Category
D minimums be used for circling to an airport. This affords a higher ceiling
and .6 of a mile greater maneuvering airspace.
The typical three-engine ILS and nonprecision approach profiles are flown
except that circling approaches are flown to published circling minimums with
slats/flaps set at S +20° and at an airspeed of 150 knots. When visual in the
circle for landing, and on the downwind leg, select the landing gear down,
and complete the Before Landing checklist. Maintain 150 knots, and follow
normal VFR landing pattern procedures.
When on final approach, at or above 500 AGL, and slow to VREF plus the normal
wind corrections.

minimums. Conduct the nonprecision approach in accordance with
these charted procedures and as prescribed by the controlling agency.
2. The Descent checklist should be accomplished prior to entry for the
approach. Set all instruments for the approach, and ensure that the
approach briefing has been completed prior to being cleared for
approach.
3. Tune and identify the VOR and/or ADF radios that will be used for
the approach. Heading and course values will be set on the respective
instruments in preparation for the approach. Ensure that RMI point-
ers have been properly selected.
4. Prior to crossing high station outbound, slow the aircraft to 190 knots
in the clean configuration.
5. At high station outbound, set the slats/flaps to S +20, and complete
the Approach checklist. Slow the aircraft to 150 knots, and maneu-
ver through the procedure turn as prescribed on the approach chart.
6. After completion of the procedure turn, and just prior to the final
approach fix, select the gear down, and complete the Before Landing
checklist. Cross the FAF at 150 knots.
7. At the FAF, start approach timing; descend at a rate not to exceed 1,000
feet per minute, and maintain a speed of 150 knots to the minimum
descent altitude. When MDA is reached, fly the aircraft at MDA until
visual contact with the runway is made or the missed approach point
is reached.
8. When landing is assured, slow the aircraft to V REF +5 knots + the wind
correction for landing. An option exists to select 40° of flaps once the
landing is assured. This option is based upon the best assessment of
the overall situation as determined by the Captain.

MINIMUMS
The typical two-engine ILS and nonprecision approach profiles are flown except
that circling approaches are flown to published circling minimums with
slats/flaps set to S +20° and at an airspeed of 150 knots until visual and
established on downwind leg for landing. At this point, extend the landing
gear, and accomplish the Before Landing checklist. Maintain an airspeed of
150 knots until established on final approach. When aligned on the final ap-
proach to the runway, begin to slow the airspeed to V REF +5 knots + the wind
correction, if any. Again, the option to extend the flaps to 40° rests with the
Captain.

15 SEC
Simultaneously apply maximum thrust to the operating engine, and rotate the
aircraft to a 13° pitch attitude. The flaps are assumed set at 20° as prescribed
on the one-engine inoperative approach profile. When a positive rate of climb
is indicated on both the altimeter and the vertical velocity indicators, retract
the landing gear. Maintain the charted V REF speed throughout these actions
until a minimum altitude of 400 feet above airport elevation is attained. At
this altitude, accelerate to VREF +25 knots, and retract the slats/flaps. Accelerate
to 1.43 V S , clean configuration, reduce the engine power to maximum con-
tinuous, and climb the aircraft to the prescribed missed-approach altitude.

Example
Although seemingly complex at times, all weight and balance problems are
handled by use of the following moment equation.
This equation is the basic equation used to find the center-of-gravity loca-
tion of an airplane and/or its components. By rearrangement of this equation
to the following forms,
with any two known values, the third value can be found.
In the airplane weight and balance problem, the moment equation is used many
times in calculating moments for each individual item. When all weights and
moments have been totaled, the charts provided in the Performance section
of this chapter should be used to determine CG.

Takeoff Path—Extends from a standing start to a point 1,500 feet above the
takeoff surface
Takeoff Distance—The horizon distance along the takeoff path from the
start to a point 35 feet above the takeoff surface following an engine failure,
or 115% of all engines operating to a point 35 feet above the takeoff surface
(this includes a legal clearway)
• Come to a full stop on the takeoff surface plus any legal stopway
V 2—The takeoff safety speed selected by the manufacturer so that the required
climb gradient is attained
V MIN —The minimum speed at which the takeoff may be continued. This
speed is always greater than V MCG .

INTRODUCTION
This training manual provides a description of the major airframe and engine systems
installed in the Falcon 900. This information is intended as an instructional aid only; it
does not supersede, nor is it meant to substitute for, any of the manufacturer’s system
or operating manuals. The material presented has been prepared from the basic design
data. All subsequent changes in airplane appearance or system operation will be cov-
ered during academic training and subsequent revisions to this manual.
Chapter 1 covers the structural makeup of the airplane and gives an overview of the sys-
tems. It also contains operating limitations and a pictorial walkaround of the airplane.
Appendix B in this manual displays all light indications and should be folded out for
reference while reading this manual.

INTRODUCTION
The Falcon 900 lighting system is divided into interior and exterior lighting. Interior
lighting includes cockpit, passenger compartment, baggage compartment, rear com-
partment, and nose cone lighting. Cockpit lighting includes general illumination and
specific lighting for instruments and map reading. Passenger compartment lighting
provides illumination for warning signs and specific area illumination for passenger
safety and convenience. Individual lights are provided for the rear compartment, bag-
gage compartment, and nose cone. Exterior lighting consists of navigation, landing,
taxi, anticollision, wingtip strobe, and wing ice detection lights.

The master warning system on the Falcon 900 provides a warning of airplane equipment
malfunctions and unsafe operating conditions which require immediate attention or an

INTRODUCTION
During normal operations, the Falcon 900 fuel system consists of three separate sub-
systems: the left, center, and right. Each subsystem normally supplies fuel to its respective
engine. Interconnect and crossfeed valves allow fuel transfer between tanks and engine
fuel feed from any tank in the event of fuel imbalance or boost pump failure. The air-
plane may be pressure- or gravity-refueled or defueled.
GENERAL
Fuel storage consists of three tank groups: the tank-to-tank transfer, and motive-flow fuel

CHAPTER 6
AUXILIARY POWER UNIT
INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the auxiliary power unit (APU) installed in the Falcon 900
series airplanes. The primary objective for installing APUs in airplanes is to render the
airplane self-supporting while on the ground, especially when at remote away-from-home
bases where compatible ground servicing equipment may not be available.
APUs are generally independent of all installed airplane systems except for an electrical
power source for starting and control and a fuel supply from the airplane’s fuel tanks to
sustain operation.
This chapter, in addition to describing the APU engine, also includes descriptions of all
of its related systems, such as oil, fuel, ignition, air extraction, and miscellaneous
APU/airplane interface systems.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the powerplants installed on the Falcon 900 series airplanes. In
addition to the engine, the chapter also includes descriptions of all related systems, such
as oil, fuel, ignition, instrumentation, engine power control, engine starting, thrust re-
verser, and associated powerplant limitations.
The contents of this chapter must not be construed as operating procedures. All values
for pressure, temperature, and thrust are used only for their illustrative meanings. Actual
values must be obtained from the pertinent material issued by, or on behalf of, the ap-
plicable manufacturer, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the certification agency
of the country of origin.

positions: stow, deploy, and thrust increase.
The lever is mechanically locked in the stow

at idle. The initial upward movement from the
stow position is limited by a reverse locking
solenoid, permitting deployment and idle re-

INTRODUCTION
The pneumatic system on the Falcon 900 uses engine and APU bleed air as input to the air-
conditioning, pressurization, and ice and rain protection systems. A system for control of
the bleed-air sources, indication of malfunction, and warning of malfunction is included.
LP BLEED AIR
The main bleed-air source for LP bleed air is
one inboard bleed port on the No. 1 and No.
3 engines and the left side of the No. 2 engine.
There is an auxiliary outboard bleed port on the
No. 1 engine and the right side of the No. 2 en-
gine. The outboard bleed port of the No. 3 en-
gine is not used.
HP BLEED AIR
The main bleed-air source for HP bleed air is
through interconnected bleed ports on each en-
gine. The auxiliary bleed-air source is one bleed
port on the upper centerline of each engine.
BLEED-AIR MIXING
At the outlet of each engine, airflows from the
main LP and HP ports are mixed by venturi ac-
tion so that the resulting pressure is greater than
LP bleed-air pressure. Figure 9-3 illustrates the
bleed-air system with the power levers at idle.
LP and HP characteristics relative to engine
status are listed in Tables 9-1 and 9-2.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the ice and rain protection systems installed in the Falcon 900.
All values used throughout this chapter, such as for pressure, temperature and flow are
used for their illustrative meanings only. Pertinent values must be obtained from the man-
uals and publications issued with the airplane.
GENERAL
The anti-iced areas of the Falcon 900 include the main windshields, the cockpit side and aft
the nacelle inlet lips, the No. 2 engine S-duct, windows, the air data systems, and the water
the P T2T T2 probes in the nacelle intake, the drains. In addition, a rain removal system is pro-
ECU heat exchanger ram-air inlet, the wing vided for the main windshields, as well as in-
leading-edge slats, the fixed leading-edge sec- ternal defogging. An antifogging system is also
tions on the inboard side of each wing panel, provided for the cabin windows.
NACELLE INTAKE
ANTI-ICING
GENERAL
The nacelle intakes (Figure 10-1) are anti-
iced by hot bleed air from the associated en-
gine’s HP compressor. The intake lips form
D-ducts, and a piccolo tube is located in each
D-duct. The hot air is discharged through the
piccolo tube holes to impinge on the duct skin
and prevent ice formation. The air is then dis-
charged overboard through louvered outlets.
Figure 10-2. No. 1 Nacelle Air Inlet
and Ram-Air Inlet
Control
The system is controlled by a PCB in con-
junction with a two-position switch labeled
“ENG 1,” located on the ANTI-ICE section of
the overhead panel (Figure 10-3), to control
the anti-icing air supply for the No. 1 nacelle
air intake and the ram-air inlet; in addition, the

1. The green light stays on for 23 seconds in the event of the LP temperature threshold being temporarily exceeded or the bleed valves closing when 82° PLA is exceeded (18 seconds).
2. If one of the engines (1or 3) is shut down (power lever angle less than 15°), the position of the corresponding HP bleed valve is taken into accoount and the green light will be on,
provided the air pressure is sufficient (increased power setting on the other engines).

CHAPTER 11
AIR CONDITIONING
INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the air-conditioning system of the Falcon 900 series airplanes.
The air-conditioning system includes all of the following subsystems: heating and cool-
ing of the occupied areas of the cockpit and passenger cabin, forced ventilation of the
nose cone area, underfloor conditioning for the floor panels, engine and flight control
components at frame 25, toilet and baggage compartment conditioning, footwarming and
defogging, and forced circulation in the area of the EFIS packages.

NORMAL OPERATION—
FLIGHT (COOLING)
Operation in the lower altitude range in clean
configuration flight increase the demand for
cooling rather than heating; in addition, me-
teorological conditions may require the use of
surface anti-icing systems. Under such
conditions the bleed-air supply may be as
shown in Figure 11-3. All engines in this case
are supplying HP/LP mixed air to the manifold;
in addition, the No. 2 engine continues a di-
rect supply to the passenger air-conditioning
valve. The bleed-air flow is dictated by the No.
2 and No. 3 engine PRVs and the associated
LP duct temperature sensors, or, in the case of
the No. 1 engine, by its LP duct temperature
sensor and HP valve. The air for the occupied
areas is supplied to the passenger and crew

GROUND OPERATION
Except for the air source, ground and flight op-
eration of the air-conditioning system is sim-
ilar. Figure 11-4 depicts ground operation
with the APU running and supplying bleed
air. The APU bleed-air supply is a function of
the APU bleed-air valve, as determined by the
APU switch on the BLEED AIR section of
the overhead switch panel (Figure 11-1) and
proximity switches in each power lever quad-
rant. In addition, the valve modulates under the
influence of the APU ECU signals initiated by
T 5 inputs to the ECU. The APU bleed-air valve
closes when any power lever is advanced to or
beyond 54° PLA, whether or not the engine is
running. An ECU overheat causes the APU to
automatically shut down.
LIMITATIONS
All limitations contained in the AFM pertain-
ing to the air-conditioning system and related
systems are binding under law, and they must
be observed regardless of the type of operation.

only by the low differential limiter.
CONTROL
The ventilating air source is induced into the
lower side of the nose cone by a fan powered
directly from the DC system, through a relay
controlled by a proximity switch. This air
flows upward through the electronic equipment
and exhausts through a standpipe into the nose
wheel well and then through louvers to the
atmosphere.

LANDING GEAR AND BRAKES
INTRODUCTION
The Falcon 900 has a retractable tricycle landing gear consisting of two dual-wheel main
gears and a dual-wheel nose gear. The main gears retract inboard into the wing and a
well in the fuselage. The nose gear retracts forward into the fuselage. Each gear well is
enclosed by doors when the gear is retracted.
Three hydraulic braking systems (normal, emergency, and parking/emergency) actuate
brake units in all main gear wheels. Antiskid is available only with normal braking.
The nose gear is equipped with an electrohydraulic steering system that includes an anti-
shimmy feature.

Antiskid
The antiskid system prevents locking of the
main gear wheels during heavy braking by
modulating the pressure at the brake units.
The system is operative only with the BRAKE
selector switch in the #1 ON position and the
normal gear control handle down.
The system includes an electronic control box,
an antiskid servo valve for each main gear, and
six tachometer generators. Four of the tachom-
eters are driven by the main gear wheels and
provide wheel speed signals to the control
box. Two tachometer generators driven by the
nosewheels provide airplane rolling speed in-
formation. A typical tachometer generator is
shown in Figure 14-25.
The control box receives the following inputs:
• The reference speed

Nosewheel steering is initiated with the hand-

120° in either direction. At 0 to 60° of hand-
wheel rotation, the nosewheels are steered 0 to
8° from center. At 60 to 120° of handwheel
movement, the nosewheels are steered 8 to 60°.

INTRODUCTION
The primary flight controls on the Falcon 900 airplane are hydraulically boosted but can
be manually actuated in the event both hydraulic systems fail.
Aileron and rudder trim is hydraulic, initiated by electric motors. Hydraulic gust damp-
ing is provided but is not dependent on hydraulic pump pressure. A hydraulically actu-
ated, autopilot servo-controlled yaw damper prevents yaw oscillations. Horizontal
stabilizer trim is provided electrically.
The secondary flight controls consist of trailing-edge flaps, leading-edge slats, and air-
brakes. They are electrically controlled and hydraulically actuated.
GENERAL
The flight attitude of the airplane is controlled Secondary flight controls consist of four lead-
with conventional primary flight controls: two ing-edge slats and four trailing-edge flaps

NOTE
If the left servoactuator is unable to
move, the emergency unit will op-
erate the right servoactuator in the
opposite direction of control switch
movement through the control push-
pull rods.
Aileron Operation
Movement of the input arm positions slide
valves in the servoactuator (as during normal
operation), causing the barrels to move and
reposition the aileron. As the desired posi-
tion is reached, the slide valves return to neu-
tral, and aileron movement stops.

SECONDARY FLIGHT
CONTROLS
GENERAL
The secondary flight controls include electrically
controlled and hydraulically actuated trailing-
edge flaps, leading-edge slats, and airbrakes.
The flaps are actuated by an electrically con-
trolled hydraulic motor driving torque tubes and
jackscrews. The leading-edge slats, extending
along the entire leading edge of the wing, are Figure 15-16. Flaps and Airbrakes
powered by double-acting hydraulic actuators
and operate in three different modes. The air-
brakes, three on the top surface of each wing, are
normally controlled by a three-position handle
on the trim control box. Automatic airbrake
retraction occurs at high angle of attack.
The flaps are controlled by a combination Hydraulic power is supplied by the No. 2 hy-

AIRBRAKES
General
The airplane is equipped with airbrakes
consisting of three panels hinged at the aft
position of each wing upper surface. The pan-
els are actuated by differential hydraulic ac-
tuators and there is no mechanical sequencing.
The No. 2 hydraulic system powers the air-
brake system with the hydraulic standby pump
as a backup pressure source.

INSTRUMENTS
GENERAL
The pitot-static/air data instruments receive in-
puts from air data computer sources (See Fig-
ure 16-1). Figure 16-6 shows the locations of
the pitot-static/air data instruments.
Figure 16-5. PT2/TT2 Probe
STANDBY ALTIMETER
The standby altimeter (Figure 16-11) receives
pneumatic information directly from the
standby static pressure system. It is capable
of displaying altitudes from –1,000 to 51,000
feet. A three-drum counter displays altitude
in 100-foot increments. From 0 to 9,900 feet,
the 10,000-foot drum is covered by a black-
and-white striped screen; below –100 feet,
this drum is covered by a red-and-white
striped screen. Barometric reference pres-
sure is set in inches Hg with a knob on the face
of the instrument.

INTRODUCTION
The Falcon 900 oxygen system is supplied by a single high-pressure cylinder. Each crew
position has a quick-donning mask with a built-in regulator and microphone. Passenger
masks automatically drop out of overhead storage boxes when pressurization is lost, or
can be manually released. Passengers can receive two different pressures, depending on
the setting on a controller on the copilot’s console. Two first-aid outlets are also pro-
vided in the cabin.
The water system provides potable water to the galley, the mid-cabin bar, and the wash-
basin in the lavatory compartment. Wastewater is expelled through drain masts on the
bottom of the fuselage.
The self-contained chemical toilet has its own water reservoir and is serviced from a
panel on the bottom of the fuselage.

FALCON 900 A-B NORMAL PROCEDURES CHECKLIST
INTRODUCTION
The operating procedures of this section have been developed with specific
regard for the design features and operating characteristics of the MYSTERE-
FALCON 900 airplane.
They have been approved by the DGAC for guidance in identifying acceptable
procedures for safe operation.
Observance of these procedures is not mandatory and DGAC approval of
such procedures is not intended to prohibit or discourage development and
use of improved or equivalent alternate procedures based on operational
experience with the airplane. When alternate procedures are used, full
responsibility for compliance with applicable airworthiness safety standards
rests with the operator.
When an electronic system is used to display all procedures of this Manual
or adapted procedures, the operator remains responsible for the content,
for use and updating of this system.
The checks preceded by (*) are to be performed once a day.
