“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.

2. Oxygen Pressure................................................................ APPROPRIATE

Minimum oxygen pressure with no passengers on board is 700 psi,


assuming the flight stays under 10,000 feet altitude. This minimum covers
the consumption requirements of each crewmember for two hours. It is
recommended that if passengers are carried, the oxygen system be fully
charged to its capacity. This is especially true if the flight is planned over
oceanic areas or over desolate terrain. The aircraft performance manual can
be used as reference as to the minimum pressure required for execution of a
mission with passengers and is based on the following assumptions:

• 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.

• An emergency descent to 10,000 feet is made with all occupants of the


aircraft breathing oxygen on NORMAL.

• Further flight is conducted at 10,000 feet or below with one passenger


using first aid oxygen.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Figure NP-1. Overhead Switch Panel

CAUTION
Check the battery temperatures as follows:

• If either battery temperature is above 120°F and


the amber WARM light is on, do not attempt a bat-
tery start. The APU/engines must be started using
a ground power unit.

• If either battery temperature exceeds 120°F


during starting, monitor temperature changes for
a few minutes after starting.

• If either battery temperature exceeds 140°F


during starting, wait until it drops to 120°F
before takeoff.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY NP-11


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

• If either battery temperature reaches 150°F or


160°F on aircraft SN 132 and subsequent, and the
red HOT BAT lights are on, the battery must be
turned off, monitored while it cools, and replaced
prior to takeoff.

NOTE
On the average, the rate of battery cooling on the
ground is 1°F per minute.

2. Battery Voltages........................................................................ CHECKED

Minimum battery voltage for APU start is 23 volts and 22 volts for main
engine start.

3. *HRZN Battery Voltage ........................................................... CHECKED

The standby horizon battery voltage test button is located beneath the
left voltmeter on the overhead panel. The reading should be 24
volts minimum.

If the No. 2 emergency battery is installed, its voltage should be checked,


and the reading should be 24 volts as well.

4. Bus-Tied Switch ................................................................................. TIED

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.

5. Park Brake/No. 2 Park Brake Light .............................. SET/ON STEADY

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.

NP-12 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

6. Fire Detection ............................................................................... TESTED

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.

7. COND BAT Pushbutton Light (SB 125) .................................. CHECKED

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.

8. Navigation Lights.............................................................. AS REQUIRED

Although not a mandatory requirement, the FAA encourages all pilots to


turn on the aircraft position or navigation lights any time electrical power
is applied to the aircraft.

9. ENG 2 FAIL and T/O CONFIG Lights

and Wording “NO TAKEOFF”..................................................... TESTED

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

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY NP-13


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

3. APU Start Switch (1 Second)................................................ DEPRESSED

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.

4. APU N1-T5 Indicators—APU Generator Volts/Amps.............. CHECKED

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

should each be set to V2 by adjusting the IAS knob on the two DC-820
display controllers, located on the center pedestal.

16. Cabin Pressure Controller............................................. PROG OR FL/SET

The automatic pressure controller, located on the bottom right of the


engine instrument panel, is normally selected to the PROG position for
automatic operation of the pressurization system. Barometric setting
should be adjusted to the local altimeter setting. The landing airfield
altitude can be set if the landing airfield elevation is within 1,000 feet of
the takeoff airfield elevation. Otherwise, it is recommended to leave the
departure airfield altitude set until descent is begun from altitude for
landing at the destination airfield, in conjunction with accomplishment of
the Descent checklist. This is especially true when takeoff is made from
high-elevation airports like Denver and the flight is to lower elevations like
New York, or vice versa. In such a situation, the pressurization system is
more compatibly set up in case of an emergency return.

If the FL mode is used, the automatic programming feature is disabled.


The crew must set the flight level to which a clearance to climb is
received, and must continue to do so each time such a climb clearance is
received. When descending, the controller must be switched over to the
landing mode, and the landing elevation must be set for the descent.

17. ST-BY Pump Light.............................................................................. OUT

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

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

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.

29. Altimeters and ASEL ........................................................................... SET

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.

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.

A general rule to be followed is that whenever a different brake system is


selected, the brakes should be checked to ensure that the system is
working properly.

4. Brake Selector ..................................................................... #1/ASKID ON

After the foregoing brake checks have been made, select the brakes to the
No. 1 system with the antiskid on.

5. Thrust Reverser ....................................................... CHECKED/STOWED

With the No. 2 throttle at idle, pull the reverser lever to REVERSE IDLE

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.

6. Engine Computers ........................................................ CHECKED/AUTO

This check should not be accomplished in congested areas or on slippery


surfaces. It is highly recommended that this check be performed while the
aircraft is stationary, in the event that an engine runaway occurs. The pilot
performing this check should be prepared to shut the engine down should
a runaway occur. With the parking brakes set in the No. 2 detent position,
and while guarding the toe brakes, perform the check on one engine at a
time. Place the engine computer switch to the MAN position. The
respective CMPTR light on the master failure warning panel will

MAX FOR WING)

Turn on the wing anti-ice switch on for a maximum of 5 seconds and


observe a rise on the ITT instruments for the No. 1 and No. 3 engines. The
amber light located above the switch should illuminate steadily. Turn the
wing switch off, and observe a temperature drop on the two ITT gages
while the amber light flashes momentarily and then goes out.

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.

If visible moisture is present and the outside air temperature is below


+10°C, the engine anti-ice system must be switched on. The wing anti-ice
system must not be used on the ground. Wing anti-ice is not to be used
until after takeoff when the landing gear is retracted. While advancing the
engine power for takeoff, ensure that the green anti-ice lights located
above each engine anti-ice switch have turned green before beginning
takeoff roll.

13. Flight Controls.......................................................................... CHECKED

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.

14. Takeoff Briefing ..................................................................... COMPLETE

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.

c. The takeoff roll should be aborted if any of the following occur


before V1:

• Fire/overheat warning

• Engine malfunction

• Illumination of the ENG 2 FAIL light

• Illumination of any red light on the master failure warning panel

• Uncommanded horizontal stabilizer movement

• Any other condition prebriefed by the captain as dictated by


company policy or environmental conditions

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:

1. Antiskid Braking ............................. MAXIMUM

2. Throttles........................................................ IDLE

NP-32 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

3. Airbrake ................................................. EXTEND

4. Thrust Reverser ...................... AS NECESSARY

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

The radar should be tuned and ready, especially if there is questionable


convective weather in the area of the departure airfield. The transponder

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.

6. Start Selector Switches (3) (If Necessary)................................ AIRSTART

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.

7. Pitot Heat Switches (3) .......................................................................... ON

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.

8. All Warning Lights.............................................................................. OUT

AFTER TAKEOFF
1. Landing Gear.......................................................................................... UP

When a positive rate of climb is indicated on both the altimeter and


vertical speed indicator, and upon the captain’s command, the copilot
places the landing gear selector up. Confirm the proper retraction of the
landing gear until the gear is up and the door lights are out.

After takeoff from a snow- or slush-covered runway, delay landing gear


retraction 15 seconds, provided that obstacle clearance requirements are
respected in case of an engine failure. If necessary, and at an airspeed
below 190 knots, cycle the gear up and down prior to final retraction.
However, gear cycling does not apply to aircraft equipped with a brake
heating system (SB F900-32).

2. Wing Anti-ice Switch........................................................ AS REQUIRED

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.

3. Flaps-Slats ....................................... CLEAN/HYDRAULICS CHECKED

Flaps-slats are retracted at V 2 +25 knots, regardless of the takeoff


configuration. Upon the captain’s command, the copilot retracts the flaps-
slats incrementally, one notch at a time. Confirm the proper retraction by
referring to the flap-slat gage on the copilot’s instrument panel. Check that
the hydraulic pressures and quantities are normal at the end of the
retraction cycle.

4. Start Selector Switches (3) ............................................ GROUND START

Select all three igniter switches to ground start unless conditions require
that the ignition remain on.

5. Climb Power......................................................................................... SET

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.

2. Station Check.................................................................. PERIODICALLY

The station check should be performed at least once each 15 minutes to


ensure that all aircraft systems are operating normally. It is further
recommended that systems readings be kept at least once an hour to track
systems operations, especially fuel consumption.

DESCENT
1. Cabin Pressure Controls ....................................................................... SET

Set the seat belt sign to go on in the event turbulence is encountered during
the descent.

3. Anti-ice Systems ............................................................... AS REQUIRED

If icing conditions are expected during the descent (temperature below


+10°C and visible moisture), the anti-ice systems for the engines and
wings should be turned on prior to entering the icing conditions. Ensure
that the minimum power settings prescribed for anti-ice operations are
followed, especially when in icing conditions. It may be necessary to use
the airbrakes to maintain speeds and rate of descent when anti-ice systems
are on and higher power settings become necessary.

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.

5. Landing Computations/Bugs.......................................... COMPLETE/SET

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.

Wind additives are to be carried as an additive all the way to touchdown.

• During a VFR approach, the flaps may be set to 40° upon turning from
the base leg to final approach.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY NP-41


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

• 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.

6. Start Selector Switches (3) ................................................ AS REQUIRED

ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS


OPERATING IN ICING CONDITIONS
NOTE
Icing conditions exist on the ground or for takeoff
when OAT is 10°C (50°F) or below when operating
on ramps, on taxiways, or runways where surface
snow or slush may be ingested by the engines or
freeze on engines, nacelles, or engine sensor probe.

Icing conditions exist in flight when TAT is 10°C


(50°F) or below and visible moisture is present in any
form (such as clouds, fog with visibility of one mile
or less, rain, snow, sleet and ice crystals).

NP-46 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY


FlightSafetyinternational

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

1. Engine anti-ice systems (ENG ANTI-ICE) should be switched on in


flight or on ground when icing conditions exist or are anticipated, except
during climb and cruise when the temperature is less than –40°C SAT or
TAT more than +10°C (50°F).
However, flying in vicinity or through a “cumuliform” cloud can result in
rapid variation of SAT with SAT increasing above –40°C. In such case,
anticipate icing conditions by selecting the anti-icing system on.
Do not rely on airframe visual cues to turn anti-icing system on. Use the
temperature and visible moisture criteria specified.
Conclusion:
During climb and cruise, the pneumatic anti-ice system shall be turned on:
• Below +10°C (50°F) TAT and above –40°C
• In visible moisture
If both of these conditions are not met, the anti-ice should be turned off.
2. Wing anti-ice system (WING ANTI-ICE) should be switched on in flight
prior to entering visible moisture whenever the TAT is +10°C or below.
3. Encounter with icing conditions is evidenced by the formation of ice on
the non anti-iced area around the windshield panes. In night flight
operation, lights switched on by WING (EXTERIOR LIGHTS) switch
illuminate the wing leading edges to allow the detection of ice.
4. Comply with engine and wing anti-ice system operational limits and with
minimum N1 speed values.
5. If necessary during the approach , increase the approach speed and extend
the airbrakes to help keep N1 speed to no less than the specified value.

The N 1 speed of the operative engines must not be less than the minimum val-
ues as shown in table below.

Two Engines Operative


Increase the values shown in Table NP-2:

• By 9% if N 1 is equal to or higher than 65%

• By 6% if N 1 is lower than 65%

Landing Gear Operation


In icing conditions, the failure of the red landing gear lights to go out when
landing gear retraction is accomplished may be due to ice preventing lock-
ing of the main gear in up position.

• Maintain indicated airspeed lower than or equal to VLO (190 KIAS)

• After take-off from a snow (dry or wet) or slush covered runway,


delay landing gear retraction for 15 seconds, provided that obstacle
clearance requirements are respected in case of one engine failure (with
gear extended, the second segment climb is 1.7% less). If necessary,
and at airspeed below 190 kts, cycle the gear up and down prior to final
retraction (gear cycling does not apply to aircraft equipped with a brake
heating system (SB F900-32).

• During approach, if take-off was from a snow (dry or wet) or slush


covered runway, proceed as follow:

° Landing gear down and checked

° Brake selector #1, anti-skid OFF

• Apply maximum brake pressure several times .

° Re-active anti-skid system, brake selector #1, anti-skid ON

• Perform antiskid test as usual

Slat System Operation


Should the slats fail to fully retract when retraction is initiated in icing con-
ditions (red transit light ON):

1. Maintain airspeed at VFE (200 KIAS) or below.


2. Leave wing anti-ice system on and maintain engine power settings at or
above minimum values.
Windshield Anti-Icing

Selection of the WINDSHIELD PILOT and COPILOT switches to the MAX


position should be limited to those icing conditions encountered in flight such
that the ice protection afforded in the NORM position is inadequate

NP-48 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY


FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

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 :

• Place both WINSHIELD PILOT/COPILOT switches in the NORM


position (medium heating )

• Also switch on the side window heating switch SIDE.

• Keep the heating ON for 15 minutes before leaving the ramp

COLD WEATHER OPERATION


Fuel Selection
Prior to prolonged parking in very low temperature conditions, ensure (by re-
placement if necessary) that the freezing point of the fuel used is lower than
the anticipated minimum ambient temperature.

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:

• Activate the airstart engine ignition system

• 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.

• Before landing, apply maximum brake pressure several times, using


the anti-skid OFF. Reactivate and check the antiskid prior to landing.

SEVERE TURBULENCE PENETRATION


Flights in severe turbulence should be avoided whenever conditions permit.

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.

With the autopilot disengaged:


• Fly attitude
• Avoid using the stabilizer trim
• Do not chase altitude and speed

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.

If a windshear encounter is imminently anticipated, decide to go around:

1. Go around pushbutton ........................................................... DEPRESSED


2. Level the wings
3. Pull up to stall warning onset
4. Power levers .................................................................. FULL FORWARD
5. AIRBRAKES handle.............................................................. POSITION 0
6. Slats-flaps handle .................................... SECOND NOTCH MAXIMUM
At pilot’s discretion according to aircraft height and vertical speed:
7. Landing gear........................................................................................... UP
Pilot must be aware that the landing gear must not be raised as long as a posi-
tive rate of climb and terrain clearance are not established. The following are
two reasons for this:
• In case of contact with the ground, the gear will absorb most of the
impact energy
• Although a small performance increase is available after landing gear
retraction, initial performance degradation may occur when landing
gear doors open for retraction.

illumination of the red ENG 2 FAIL light, if the cen-
ter engine fails.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY AP-3


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

ENGINE FAILURE BEFORE V1


Reject the takeoff:

1. Brakes................................................................. MAXIMUM PRESSURE

Use the brakes to their maximum pressure, depending on length of


runway, during any aborted takeoff. The brakes, in No. 1 position with
antiskid on, are the most important factor in stopping performance. They
should be applied as other actions are taken to decelerate the aircraft.

2. Power Levers ...................................................................................... IDLE

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.

3. Airbrake Handle ..................................................................... POSITION 2

Ensure that the airbrake handle is placed to position 2. Extending the


airbrakes decreases lift on the wings and makes braking more effective.
While on the ground, if the failure was the No. 2 engine, the standby
hydraulic pump will automatically operate when the hydraulic pressure in
the No. 2 system drops to approximately 1,500 psi.

4. Thrust Reverser....................................................................... DEPLOYED

Use the thrust reverser as an added benefit to stopping performance.


Before ordering reverser deployment, ensure that the aircraft is firmly on
the ground on all three gears, the airbrakes are extended, and No. 2 engine
is effectively at idle power. The thrust reverser can be used until normal
taxi speed is achieved without risk of reingestion of gases and compressor
stalls. The thrust reverser is most effective, however, at the higher speeds
during deceleration. It should be used to slow the aircraft to at least a
speed of 89 knots, which is the hydroplaning speed of a Falcon 900.

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.

FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

ENGINE FAILURE AFTER V1


Continue the takeoff:

1. At VR ...................................................................... ROTATE NORMALLY

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.

2. Airspeed .............................................................................. MAINTAIN V2

If possible, maintain a speed of V2 for climbout to a minimum altitude of


400 feet AGL. If the speed is higher than V2, maintain that speed, and do
not allow the speed to increase further. Do not pull the nose up further to
try to bring the speed back to V2.

3. Positive Rate of Climb................................................................ GEAR UP

A positive rate of climb is defined as an indication of climb showing on


both the altimeter and the rate-of-climb indicator.

4. Crew and Passenger Bleed-Air Switches ............................................. OFF

The performance charts for climbout in the second segment are calculated
with these bleed systems turned off.

5. Wing Anti-ice .................................................................... AS REQUIRED

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.

At no lower than 400 feet AGL and above safety altitude:

6. Level Flight Acceleration ........................................................... INITIATE

Acceleration to flaps/slats retraction speeds may be accomplished while in


level flight. Do not descend. However, the aircraft must be capable of
climbing in this transition segment with a minimum gross climb gradient
of 1.5%. If the aircraft meets second-segment climb requirements, it will
automatically meet transition and final segment climb requirements.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY AP-5


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

7. ST–BY Hydraulic Pump Switch (If No. 2 Engine Failed) .................... ON

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.

8. At V2 + 25 knots—FLAPS–SLATS Handle .................................. CLEAN

When an airspeed of V2 + 25 knots is achieved, regardless of the takeoff


configuration, retract the slats and flaps incrementally to the clean
position. Check that the flap position indicator on the configuration panel
is at 0°.

9. Enroute Climb Speed..................................................................... ATTAIN

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.

10. Failed Engine......................................................................... IDENTIFIED

Analyze all engine indications. Attempt an airstart on the failed engine


unless a greater emergency exists with the engine. Both pilots must make a
positive and confirmed identification of the affected engine before any
further actions are taken. Shut down the inoperative engine (see “Engine
Failure In Flight,” this chapter).

Five minutes after brake release:

11. Crew and Passenger Bleed Switches ................................................ AUTO

At this point, it may no longer be necessary to leave these switches off to


meet performance chart requirements. If required, they may be turned
back on as soon as the final climbout segment has begun.

12. Maximum Continuous Thrust .............................................................. SET

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.

unsuccessful, complete the engine shutdown proce-
dure (see “Engine Failure In Flight” section in this
chapter).

ENGINE FAILURE IN FLIGHT


The OIL, GEN, and possibly PUMP lights illuminate.

Yawing tendency (failure of No. 1 or No. 3 engine):

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)

If the engine is still running, and a precautionary engine shutdown is


necessary, if possible, allow the engine to cool at idle for one minute
before shutdown.

2. Power Lever.................................................................................. CUTOFF

After positive identification of the proper engine to be shut down, move


the affected engine power lever to cutoff.

3. Booster Switch ..................................................................................... OFF

Unless needed for fuel balance operations, place the affected booster pump
switch to OFF and check for corresponding fuel light on warning panel.

4. GEN Switch ......................................................................................... OFF

The generator for the failed engine is no longer useful and should be
turned OFF to preclude electrical anomalies associated with the electrical
system.

5. Engine Anti-ice Switch ........................................................................ OFF

This closes the anti-icing valves (air intake and No. 2 engine S-duct).

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY AP-7


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

6. Fuel Shutoff Switch (If Engine Cannot Be Restarted)......................... OFF

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.

This will allow bleed air from the bleed-air manifold


to anti-ice the S-duct. If the No. 1 or No. 3 engine is
shut down, turn off the engine anti-icing switch, even
when in icing conditions.

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:

7. Crew and Passenger Bleed-Air Switches.......................................... AUTO

8. Maximum Continuous Thrust .............................................................. SET

If required, see One Engine Inoperative Drift Down chart.

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.

If the No. 2 engine is shut down:

8. Bus-Tied Switch ................................................................................. TIED

Since the No. 2 generator is no longer supplying electrical power to the


right DC electrical buses, tie the buses to save the No. 2 battery from
depletion. Check the volts and amps on the two operating generators and
illumination of the bus-tied light.

If needed to supply hydraulic power to the No. 2 hydraulic system, turn on


the standby hydraulic pump switch. A windmilling engine, dependent
upon its rpm, may not be able to supply enough hydraulic power to
operate No. 2 system components..

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.

2. Pitch Attitude........................................................................................ SET

AP-12 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

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.

3. Airbrake Handle ................................................................................ ZERO

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.

After completing the above checklist items, follow Procedure A or B below,


depending on the flap configuration flown on the approach:

Procedure A—If the Approach


was Flown with 20° Flaps + Slats
1. Flap/Slat Handle ....................................................... 20° FLAPS + SLATS

Ensure that the FLAPS–SLATS handle is set to 20° flaps + slats during the
go-around.

2. Landing Gear Control............................................................................. UP

As soon as a climb is indicated on both the altimeter and the rate-of-climb


indicator, raise the landing gear.

3. Airspeed to 400 Feet AGL .............................................. VREF + 5 KNOTS

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.

Procedure B—If the Approach


was Flown with 7° Flaps + Slats
1. Flap/Slat Handle ......................................................... 7° FLAPS + SLATS

Ensure that the FLAPS–SLATS handle is set to 7° flaps + slats during the
go-around.

When a positive rate of climb is established:

2. Landing Gear Control............................................................................. UP

As soon as a climb is indicated on both the altimeter and the rate-of-climb


indicator, raise the landing gear.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

3. Airspeed to 400 Feet AGL ............................................ VREF + 15 KNOTS

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:

4. Level Flight Acceleration ........................................................... INITIATE

At an altitude no lower than 400 feet above ground level, maintain level
flight while accelerating to the slats-flaps retract speed.

5. At V2 + 25 Knots—FLAPS–SLATS .............................................. CLEAN

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.

6. Enroute Climb Speed..................................................................... ATTAIN

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.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY AP-15


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

The best technique is to apply this procedure in a


timely fashion, as soon as it has been ascertained that
the engine malfunction that caused the flameout will
not present a danger if an airstart attempt is made. The
power lever must be immediately set to idle and the
airstart ignition selected in order to take advantage of
the high rotational speed of the compressors.

If the relight attempt is unsuccessful, it is necessary


to descend to an altitude which is within the normal
airstart envelope.

1. Power Lever ..................................................... IMMEDIATELY TO IDLE

The power lever must be immediately retarded to idle to minimize the


input of fuel for an immediate relight, which might result in a hot start.

2. Start Selector Switch ............................................................... AIR START

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.

3. ITT Rise within 10 Seconds ..................................................... CHECKED

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.

4. Power Lever .............................................................................. ADVANCE

If all engine instruments indicate that the engine is operating normally, the
power lever may be advanced, as required, for normal flight.

After a successful relight:

5. Start Selector Switch ..................................................... GROUND START

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.

6. Engine Instruments ................................................................... CHECKED

Continually monitor the engine instruments for normal operations. Engine


warning lights must be out.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

If an airstart is unsuccessful, complete the ENGINE SHUTDOWN


procedure in this manual.

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.

• The ITT rises rapidly and approaches the 952°C (TFE-731-5AR) or


978°C (TFE-731-5BR) limit.

• An N 1 remains close to zero when N 2 speed reaches 20%.

• N 2 speed is not rising rapidly and smoothly 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:

1. Power Lever.................................................................................. CUTOFF

This is done to shut off the fuel at the engine fuel control and stop the start.

2. Start Selector Switch ............................................ MOTOR–START STOP

This action disengages the starter if it was used to assist in the airstart
attempt.

3. Complete the Engine Shutdown checklist.

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.

Avoid rapid displacements of the power lever. The


surge bleed valve cannot open completely, and com-
pressor stalls might result.

CAUTION
Maximum thrust may not be attainable.

Idle thrust may be higher than normal. This should


be taken into consideration, when landing, due to
the increase in residual power of the engine.

The fuel flow on the affected engine may be ap-


proximately 5% higher when its N 1 speed is matched
to the N 1 speeds of the other engines.

Acceleration time is longer in manual mode.

If the indicated oil pressure is greater than 25 psi:

Illumination of the OIL light is caused by the metal chip detector.The


detection of a chip in the oil may indicate engine internal problems. In this
case it would be prudent to reduce thrust on the engine to minimize the
potential of further damage at high operation speeds and temperatures.
Continue to monitor the oil pressure and temperature gages throughout the
flight if the engine is kept running.

2. Engine Thrust (If Possible)....................................................... REDUCED

If the indicated oil pressure is less than 25 psi

3. Retard the power lever and shut down the affected engine as soon as
possible.

4. Complete engine shutdown by check list .

Engine lubrication is no longer available and extensive engine damage


may result.

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.

NO. 2 ENGINE INLET DOOR OPEN


ENG 2 FAIL

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.

This indicates failure of only one of the No. 1 hydraulic system pumps.

1. Hydraulic Pressure and Quantity ................................................... CHECK

Check both hydraulic system gages to ensure proper quantity and pressure.

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.

1. No. 2 Hydraulic Pressure and Quantity .................................... CHECKED

If the hydraulic quantity is normal and if the standby pump is to be used:

2. ST–BY Hydraulic Pump Switch............................................................ ON

The No. 2 hydraulic system pressure gage should cycle between 1,500 and

UNWANTED OPERATION OF STANDBY PUMP


ST BY
PUMP

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:

1. Autopilot ............................................................................ DISENGAGED

If the autopilot is engaged, and if it hasn’t already been disconnected due


to the loss of normal trim capability, disengage it from the aircraft controls
by depressing the yaw damper pushbutton on the center pedestal. This
action will disengage the autopilot and yaw damper and cause the AP light
to come on and show a disengagement message on the ID 802.

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.

If the stabilizer is jammed in the +2 to –4° range:

2. Flaps + Slats Handle ................................................. 20° FLAPS + SLATS

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.

3. Airspeed ........................................................................ VREF + 20 KNOTS

A final approach speed of VREF + 20 knots will ensure sufficient elevator


control.

4. GPWS FLAPS O’RIDE Switch............................................................. ON

The GPWS FLAPS O’RIDE switch cancels the “TOO LOW FLAPS”
audible warning when landing with flaps less than 40°.

Increase the landing distance by 800 feet.

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

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.

If the stabilizer is jammed in the –4° to –10° range:

5. Flaps + Slats Handle ................................................. 40° FLAPS + SLATS

This is the normal range for the elevator trim when making a slats 40° flap
landing. Make a normal approach.

6. Airspeed .............................................................................................. VREF

LANDING WITH INOPERATIVE ELEVATOR


The elevator portion of the control column will be frozen in position. The pilot
will be unable to control movement about the pitch axis, except by use of the
horizontal stabilizer trim. Fly the approach and landing using the following
procedures:

1. Flaps + Slats Handle ................................................. 40° FLAPS + SLATS

It is recommended that the normal 40° flap configuration be used for


approach and landing. Check proper positioning on the configuration panel.

2. Airspeed ........................................................................ VREF + 10 KNOTS

The extra speed will improve controllability of the aircraft with a jammed
elevator.

3. Increase the landing distance by 1,800 feet.

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.

5. Make a shallow final approach.

Make as shallow an approach as possible to minimize trim changes and


landing flare actions during this phase of flight. If possible, hold the
landing flare on final approach, using power and trim and keeping the
airspeed additive and power on until touchdown.

1. FASTEN BELTS Light Pushbutton ....................................................... ON

CAUTION
The pitch and/or roll control forces may be higher or
lower than normal, depending on whether the Arthur

Follow either procedure below, depending on the
control forces experienced.

Light forces—Avoid large displacements and rapid movement of the flight


controls.

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.

FLAP ASYMMETRY OR JAMMED FLAPS


FLAP
ASYM

This light illuminates when a flap asymmetry is detected by comparison of


the relative position of the outboard portion of the left and right flaps. The
outboard section of the left and right flaps contain potentiometer transmit-
ters that provide flap asymmetry indications. Flap position indication is pro-
vided by only the left outboard flap transmitter. The flaps will stop movement
immediately upon detection of an asymmetry, and the flap control circuit
breaker will open.

With flaps extended up to 7°:

1. Approach Speed ............................................................ VREF + 20 KNOTS

This higher approach speed is flown to allow more controllability of the


aircraft with any degree of asymmetry in this range of flaps. Trim the
aircraft as well as possible under the circumstances.

This higher approach speed is flown to allow more controllability of the


aircraft with any degree of asymmetry in this range of flaps. Trim the
aircraft as well as possible under the circumstances.

2. EGPWS FLAPS O’RIDE Switch .......................................................... ON

The EGPWS FLAPS O’RIDE switch cancels the “TOO LOW FLAPS”
audible warning when landing with flaps less than 40°.

Increase the landing distance by 600 feet.

With the flaps extended between 20° and 40°:

1. Approach Speed .............................................................. VREF + 5 KNOTS

This higher approach speed is flown to allow more controllability of the


aircraft with any degree of asymmetry in this range of flaps. Trim the
aircraft as well as possible under the circumstances.

2. Increase the landing distance by 200 feet.

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

SLAT MONITORING SYSTEM


AUTO
SLATS

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:

1. Airspeed Envelope............................. BETWEEN 1.3 VS TO 270 KNOTS

Do not allow the airspeed to go outside of these limits. Avoid stall


situations, as the stall warning system may not operate properly for
indication of a stall and automatic deployment of the slats. Do not
deliberately perform stall tests.

If the light comes on when at an airspeed of 280 knots or greater:

2. Reduce Airspeed ........................................................ 270 KIAS OR LESS

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.

SLAT SYSTEM ABNORMAL OPERATION


If using the flaps + slats handle on the center pedestal, continuous illumina-
tion of the red arrow light on the gear/ flaps + slats indicator panel indicates
that at least one of the four slats is being maneuvered, neither fully extended
nor fully retracted. If using the emergency control or automatic operation, at
least one of the two outboard slats is being maneuvered, neither fully extended
nor fully retracted. The red light will also be illuminated.

Some normal slat system indications to consider:

• 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.

• The red light remains illuminated during slat displacement.

• 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.

AP-38 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

• During slat retraction, when the FLAPS–SLATS handle is set to


CLEAN, the green light flashes during retraction of the inboard slats
and flaps. As soon as the inboard slats and flaps are retracted, the
outboard slats retract, at which time the green flashing light goes out
and the red light comes on. The red light goes out when the slats are
fully retracted.

• During automatic or emergency extension of the slats, the red light


comes on until the outboard slats are fully extended, at which time
the red light goes out and the green light flashes. When the slats begin
retracting after auto deployment, the green flashing light goes out, and
the red light comes on until the slats are fully retracted.

• 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:

1. Airspeed ..................................................................... 200 KIAS OR LESS

It is imperative that this maximum operational speed, with the slats


extended, not be exceeded.

2. Autopilot ............................................................................ DISENGAGED

Firmly hold the control wheel during disengagement of the autopilot.


Disengage the autopilot by depressing the autopilot disconnect switch on
the aft bottom portion of either control wheel. The AP light will illuminate
and a disengagement message will be presented on the ID-802. These
indications can be cleared by depressing the disconnect button once again.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

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:

1. Flaps + Slats Handle ................................................. 40° FLAPS + SLATS

The flaps may be extended to 40° as long as the outboard slats are
extended.

2. Approach Speed .............................................................. VREF + 5 KNOTS

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.

3. Increase the landing distance by 200 feet.

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:

1. Flaps + Slats Handle ................................ LEAVE IN 7° FLAPS + SLATS

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.

2. Emergency Slats Switch ........................................................................ ON

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.

1. Flaps + Slats Handle............................................... 40° FLAPS + SLATS

A normal full 40° flap approach and landing may be made without
additive or penalty.

2. Approach Speed .................................................................................. VREF

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.

1. Flaps + Slats Handle ................................................. 40° FLAPS + SLATS

The flaps may be extended to 40° as long as the outboard slats are
extended.

2. Approach Speed .............................................................. VREF + 5 KNOTS

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.

3. Increase the landing distance by 200 feet.

Procedure C
If the red light stays on and neither inboard or outboard slats are extended:

1. Flaps + Slats Handle ...................................................................... CLEAN

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY AP-41


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

If the slats cannot be extended by any or all means, the wing must be clean
of flaps for approach and landing.

2. EGPWS Flaps O'Ride Switch................................................................ ON

3. Approach Speed ............................................................ VREF + 30 KNOTS

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%.

The increased speed to be maintained on final approach necessitates an


increase in runway requirements to allow for a longer stopping distance.

CAUTION
Do not change the emergency slats switch position.

The landing-gear-not-extended aural warning, nor-


mally activated by the 40° flap warning circuitry,
may not sound if the gear is not fully down and the
flaps are not selected to 40°.

UNWANTED OUTBOARD SLAT EXTENSION


AUTO AND IGN
SLATS

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

3. RH AUTO SLAT Circuit Breaker ................................................... RESET

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.

Depending on the final position of the circuit breakers, if the RH AUTO


SLAT circuit breaker remains pulled:

• Manual action of the flap/slat handle remains operative

• Emergency slats switch is inoperative

If the LH AUTO SLAT circuit breaker remains pulled manual action of the
flap/slat handle:

• Causes only extension of outboard slats. Inboard slats remain in


retracted position and the slat green light is flashing.

• Has no action on flaps when flap/slat handle is selected to 7° position,


but will operate flaps when selected to 20° and 40° positions. Add 5
knots to VREF and increase landing distance by 200 feet and landing
field length by 333 feet.

NOTE
Airbrakes may be used during landing approach, pro-
vided airspeed is at least VREF + 10 knots. Increase
landing distance by 10%.

AIRBRAKES DO NOT EXTEND IN FLIGHT


Airbrakes, as well as antiskid brakes, are considerations in the performance
charts for computing landing distance and landing field length. Since the
airbrakes cannot be extended, a penalty must be applied to these landing
factors. Make the following additives:

Increase the landing distance by 10%.

Emergency Landing Gear Extension


1. EMERGENCY GEAR PULL Handle ......................................... PULLED

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.

Free Fall Extension


1. Airspeed ...................................................................... Not Less than KIAS

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

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

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.

If extension of either of the main landing gears is in doubt, touch down on


the side of the runway corresponding to the extended gear. Hold the wings
level for as long as possible. Control direction with the rudder pedals and
nosewheel steering. When the wing touches the ground, brake with the brake
pedals and counteract veering.

CONTROL HANDLE JAMMED IN DOWN POSITION


It is impossible to retract the landing gear.

1. Airspeed ...................................................... 245 KIAS MAXIMUM (VLE)

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.

Keep the landing gear extended to the landing.

ABNORMAL RETRACTION

WARNING

At least one red light remains on.

2. Cycle the gear down and up to get rid of the ice.

In nonicing conditions or if takeoff was made without snow or slush on


the runway:

a. Extend and keep the landing gear down.

EMERGENCY RETRACTION ON GROUND


Emergency retraction of the landing gear on the ground must only be consid-
ered if it is imperative to stop the aircraft immediately (risk of collision with
another aircraft or a large obstacle) and conventional means are not adequate.

Ground retraction of the landing gear is achieved using the following proce-
dure, with the first two operations being performed simultaneously:

1. Ground Safety Override


Pushbutton (If Installed) ....................................... PRESS IN AND HOLD

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.

2. Landing Gear Control Handle............................................. UP POSITION

3. Power Levers ................................................................................ CUTOFF

NO. 1 BRAKE SYSTEM OR ANTISKID INOPERATIVE


WARNING

Results of abnormal anti-skid test before landing.

The following brake system information is provided as a review:

• The L and R brake lights illuminate at 232 psi.

AP-48 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

• The #2 P BK light illuminates at 232 psi.

• Brake pressure for the No. 1 brake system is:

• 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.

• Brake pressure for the No. 2 brake system is 1,080 psi.

• 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.

This malfunction is indicated by an abnormal antiskid brake test. The


green No. 1 system L and R brake lights do not illuminate when the
brakes are tested in either the #1/ASKID ON or #1/ASKID OFF
positions of the brake selector switch.

1. Brake Selector Switch....................................................... #2/ASKID–OFF

Set the three-position selector switch to #2/ASKID OFF. Braking is


achieved using the pedals that are supplied through No. 2 hydraulic
system; the antiskid system is inoperative. Test No. 2 hydraulic system
braking by pressing the LH and RH brake pedals in turn, and check that
the #2 P BK light comes on.

2. Brake progressively.

Braking efficiency can be visually checked by monitoring the deceleration


rate on the EADI optimum deceleration on a dry runway is between –0.25 g
and –0.30 g, increasing with weight.

3. Increase the landing distance by 50%.

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).

NO. 1 AND NO. 2 BRAKE SYSTEMS INOPERATIVE


Land on the centerline of the runway, and maintain directional control down
the centerline by use of the rudders.

1. Runway Requirements ................................................................... CHECK

Carefully calculate the normal runway landing requirements using the


Airplane Flight Manual. Charted stopping performance is based on
antiskid brakes and airbrakes.

2. Thrust Reverser.......................................................... APPLY MAXIMUM

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.

3. Parking Brake ................................................ 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.

4. Increase the landing distance by 50%.

NOSEWHEEL STEERING INOPERATIVE


If a malfunction occurs with the nosewheel steering system:

1. Release the steering control wheel to neutral.

If steering the aircraft with the control wheel, release it to remove


electric control and hydraulic actuation of the nosewheel steering
system. The nosewheel is now free to caster in either direction by use of
differential braking.

2. Use differential braking to steer the aircraft.

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:

3. No. 2 Engine Power Lever ........................................................... CUTOFF

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.

4. No. 2 Engine Fuel Shutoff Switch............................................. ACTUATE

Further isolation of the engine and fuel system is accomplished by this


action. Check for illumination and then extinguishing of TRANS light.
Continue to monitor the fuel quantity to see if the leak stops or continues.
In any situation involving a fuel leak, a precautionary landing might be
appropriate.

6. Engine Anti-ice Switch ........................................................................ OFF

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:

7. Bus-Tied Switch ................................................................................. TIED

Since the No. 2 generator is no longer supplying electrical power to the


right DC electrical buses, tie the buses to save the No. 2 battery from
depletion. Check the volts and amps on the two operating generators and
illumination of the bus-tied light.

8. ST–BY Hydraulic Pump Switch.................................... ON (As Required)

If needed to supply hydraulic power to the No. 2 hydraulic system, turn on


the standby hydraulic pump switch. A windmilling engine, dependent
upon its rpm, may not be able to supply enough hydraulic power to
operate No. 2 system components.

9. No. 2 Fuel Tank Fuel................................................................ USE FIRST

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.

10. No. 2 Booster Switch....................................................................... NORM

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.

11. X-BP 1-2 and X-BP 3-2 .................................................................... 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.

can be kept running from the fuel supplied by group 1 and 3 tanks. See One
Engine Inoperative Approach and Landing Procedure, this chapter.

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.

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:

Case 1—Side Tank Asymmetry


1. X-BP 1-3............................................................................................. OPEN

Open the crossfeed line between the No. 1 and No. 3 fuel tanks.

X-BP Light......................................................................... CHECKED/ON

This light verifies that the X-BP 1-3 opened.

2. XTK Switch Set to Low Side............................................ AS REQUIRED

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.

3. Booster Switch on Low-Level Side...................................................... OFF

Case 2—Tank 2 to Side Tank Asymmetry


1. X-BP 1-2 or 3-2................................................................................. OPEN

Move either rotary switch to the open position to allow a crossfeed from
the high tank.

When either rotary switch is moved to the open position, the


corresponding light should illuminate.

If group 2 tank fuel level is higher:


2. Booster No. 1 or No. 3 Switch.................................. AS REQUIRED/OFF

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.

If group 2 tank fuel level is lower:


3. Booster 2 Switch .................................................................................. OFF

This allows the center engine to be fed from either the No. 1 or No. 2 fuel
tank groups, whichever is higher in quantity.

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

6. Aircraft Attitude ........................................................... 0° TO 4° NOSEUP

This would be a normal indicated attitude for cruise flight. It would be


wise for every pilot to learn the normal attitude indications for all regimes
of flight.

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

Set maximum climb thrust N1 in accordance with the maximum climb


thrust charts contained in the Airplane Performance Manual.

2. Aircraft Attitude ........................................................... 4° TO 5° NOSEUP

This would be a normal climb attitude if a climb was necessary while at


high altitudes.

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.

Limit aircraft attitude to less than 4° noseup.

Procedure C
Descent
Follow either checklist below for operations without anti-icing or for oper-
ations with engine and wing anti-icing on.

which is printed in this manual, or in the abbreviated checklist.

2. Airbrakes ................................................................................ POSITION 1

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.

3. Vertical Speed in the Descent................................ –1,500 TO –2,000 FPM

4. Aircraft Attitude .................................................... 0° TO 2° NOSEDOWN

This attitude range should assure a 1,500- to 2,000-fpm descent, with


engines at a higher rpm, while the airbrakes are deployed to position 1.

NOTE
1. Check aircraft altitude frequently by referring
to the standby altimeter.

2. If, prior to the problem occurring, flight was


performed at a static temperature lower than the
authorized minimum limit prescribed by the AFM,
descend as soon as possible until air data indi-
cations become normal. Minimum temperatures
are as follows:

ICE PROTECTION SYSTEMS


WING ANTI-ICE INOPERATIVE
WITHOUT BRAKE HEATING
The following four cases, with procedures, assume that the wing anti-ice
switch was turned on for anti-ice protection and the system malfunctioned.

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.

1. No. 1 Engine N1 Speed................................................ INCREASE UNTIL


GREEN LIGHT ILLUMINATES

Increase the thrust on the No. 1 engine to attempt to supply more high-
pressure bleed air through the HP 1 valve.

If the light turns green:

2. No. 1 Engine N1 Speed............................................................ MAINTAIN

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY AP-83


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

If the light remains amber:

3. No. 3 Engine N1 Speed ............................................................ INCREASE

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.

If the light turns green:


4. No. 3 Engine N1 Speed............................................................ MAINTAIN

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.

If the light still remains amber:

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.

1. No. 1 Engine N1 Speed................................................................ REDUCE

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.

If the light does not turn green:

2. No. 1 Engine N1 Speed ..................................................... AS REQUIRED

3. No. 3 Engine N1 Speed................................................................ REDUCE

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.

When the heating system is used:
• The minimum required N1 speed with two or all
engines operating must be increased by 1%.

If the light turns green:

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.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

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:

1. Wing Anti-ice Switch........................................................................... OFF

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.

2. Wing Anti-ice Switch ............................................................................ 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:

3. Avoid or leave icing conditions as soon as possible.

WING ANTI-ICE UNWANTED


OPERATION WITHOUT BRAKE HEATING

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:

1. Wing Anti-ice Switch ............................................................................ ON

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:

2. Wing Anti-ice Switch........................................................................... OFF

AP-86 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

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.

2. Wing Anti-ice Switch........................................................................... OFF

The amber light may still be flashing.

3. Isolation Valve Knob ................................................................... ISOLATE

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.

4. HP 1 and PRV 3 Switches .................................................................... OFF

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:

5. Reduce No. 1 and No. 3 engines power settings as soon as possible.

WING ANTI-ICE INOPERATIVE WITH BRAKE HEATING


The following three cases, with procedures, assume that the wing anti-ice switch
was turned on to the position indicated for anti-ice protection and the system

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

sible damage that could be caused by the engine in-
gestion of large pieces of ice. The following steps
should be closely followed before anti-ice switches

This light indicates that the nose cone temperature is too high.

1. Nose Control Lever (If Installed) ................................ CHECK/NORMAL

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.

2. Unnecessary Avionics .......................................................................... OFF

Check maintenance panel MINELCO indicators for indications of faulty


equipment.

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.

As a review, remember that the automatic controller commands the elec-


tropneumatic outflow valve, and the pneumatic outflow valve is slaved to it.
When not in automatic and in manual, the manual pressurization knob con-
trols the pneumatic outflow valve, and the electropneumatic outflow valve is
slaved to it.

1. Pressurization UP–DN Knob.............. ALIGNED WITH GREEN INDEX

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.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

2. PRV 2 and 3 Switches................................................... CHECKED/AUTO

3. Bleed-Air Crew and Passenger Switches........................... CHECKED/ON

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.

If normal operation is not restored:

4. Pressurization UP–DN Knob.................... 1- TO 2-O’CLOCK POSITION

At this point, it is assumed the automatic pressurization system may


be malfunctioning. By moving the manual pressurization knob to the
1- to 2-o’clock position, you command a level cabin altitude signal to the
pneumatic outflow valve in preparation for manual pressurization control.
You may notice a slight fluctuation in cabin vertical velocity when
performing this step. This is normal, as the automatic controller tries to
compensate for the manual knob being out of its compensated position.

If you do not move the knob to the 1- or 2-o’clock position, a large


pressurization surge may result when selecting manual pressure.

5. Auto/Manual Pressure Selector Switch.............................................. MAN

Move the two-position switch, located to the right of the manual


pressurization knob, from the AUTO to the MAN position. This cuts out
automatic pressurization control and allows manual control of cabin
pressure through the use of the manual pressurization knob.

6. Pressurization UP–DN Knob ............................ ADJUST AS REQUIRED

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.

Moving the knob clockwise, from the 1- or 2-o’clock position, commands


a cabin up signal to the pneumatic outflow valve. This opens the
pneumatic valve and allows a cabin rate of climb of up to 1,500 feet per
minute when the knob is turned to the UP position on the dial. By moving
the knob past the UP position to the end of the stop, a cabin rate of climb
of 2,500 feet per minute is commanded.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

TOO HIGH CABIN PRESSURE


The indication for this situation is seen on the cabin pressure triple indica-
tor for altitude and differential pressure. An abnormally high cabin pressure
can cause pressurization surges if the overpressure valve opens and closes as
it reaches its preset relief values.

1. Cabin Pressure Controller....................................................................... FL

Move the PROG–FL–LDG switch on the cabin pressure controller to the


FL position. You can now select a flight level higher than the one you are
flying, which increases cabin altitude and keeps the outflow valves from
riding on the maximum differential limits.

2. Select a higher flight level.

If the cabin pressure does not decrease, the automatic regulation system may
be inoperative. Take the following steps:

3. Pressurization UP–DN Knob......................................... 1 TO 2 O’CLOCK

In the event the cabin pressure problem is connected to the automatic


pressurization system, this step prepares the pressurization system for
manual operation. This position of the knob approximates a level cabin
altitude command on the pneumatic outflow valve.

4. AUTO/MANUAL Pressure Selector Switch...................................... MAN

This is done to disable the automatic (electropneumatic) system and to


enable manual (pneumatic) control of the pressurization system.

5. Pressurization UP–DN Knob...................................... UP, AS REQUIRED

Moving the knob clockwise, from the 1- or 2-o’clock position, commands


a cabin up signal to the pneumatic outflow valve. This opens the
pneumatic valve and allows a cabin rate of climb of up to 1,500 feet per
minute when the knob is turned to the UP position on the dial. By moving
the knob past the UP position to the end of the stop, a cabin rate of climb
of 2,500 feet per minute is commanded.

If cabin pressure keeps increasing:

6. Crew and Passenger Air-Conditioning Valve Switches ....................... OFF

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.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY AP-107

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

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.

TOO HIGH CABIN ALTITUDE


OR SLOW DEPRESSURIZATION
CABIN

The aural warning occurs along with the light.

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.

1. Bleed-Air Crew and Passenger Conditioning ........................................ ON


1A. PRV 2 and PVR3 Switches....................................................... CHECKED

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.

2. BAG Switch ........................................................................................ ISOL

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.

3. Nose Control Lever (If Installed)................................................. CLOSED

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.

4. Pressurization UP–DN Knob......................................... 1 TO 2 O’CLOCK

In the event the cabin pressure problem is connected to the automatic


pressurization system, this step prepares the pressurization system for
manual operation. This position of the knob approximates a level cabin
altitude command on the pneumatic outflow valve.

5. AUTO/MAN Pressure Selector Switch.............................................. MAN

This is done to disable the automatic (electropneumatic) system and to


enable manual (pneumatic) control of the pressurization system.

6. Pressurization UP–DN Knob .............................. DOWN, AS REQUIRED

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 cabin pressure cannot be restored:

7. Isolation Valve Knob .............................................................. ISOLATION

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.

If cabin pressure is restored:

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.

9. COND Control Lever ......................................................................... TIED

If it was necessary to turn off one of the air-conditioning systems, you


must tie the crew and passenger air-conditioning systems together in order
to provide complete interior air circulation.

FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

OR

If cabin pressure is not restored:

8. NORM–EMERG Pressure Selector Switch .................................. EMERG

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

If cabin pressure is restored:

9. Continue flight at the highest possible altitude.

In the decision to continue flight or to descend and land at a suitable


airport, take into account the source of the problem. Where the aircraft is
flying, over land or water, should enter into the judgment.

10. Crew Temperature Controller............................................ AS REQUIRED

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.

If the temperature gets too high during the descent:

11. Crew Air-Conditioning Valve Switch .................................................. OFF

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.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
GENERAL
Where these emergency checklist procedures differ from the Airplane Flight
Manual, the Airplane Flight Manual takes precedence.

Compliance with the order prescribed for application of these procedures


is recommended.

Where more than one phase for a procedure is specified:

• Phase 1 specifies immediate action to be accomplished without the


need for reference to the checklist.

• Phase 2 items shall be completed only after phase 1 items have been
accomplished by checklist.

• Phase 3 items shall be accomplished as soon as time permits.

Aural warnings shall be identified before being silenced. Eliminating these


aural warnings will enable better coordination during accomplishment of the
emergency procedures.

The Airplane Operating Manual prescribes the following procedure if the fire
aural warning sounds without the presence of a FIRE light:

• Test the detection system by activating the test switch to FIRE.

• 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:

1. Power Lever of Engine Concerned............................................... CUTOFF

Moving the power lever cutoff closes the fuel supply to the engine at the
fuel control.

2. Fuel Shutoff Switch of Engine Concerned ............................. ACTUATED

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.

3. Airspeed ................................................................... BELOW 250 KNOTS

The airspeed must be reduced to ensure that the fire-extinguishing agent,


when discharged to the engine, stays within the engine cowling and is not
siphoned overboard.

4. Fire-Extinguisher DISCH Switch.......................................... POSITION 1

Break the safety wire holding the fire-extinguisher switch in position 0.


Without pulling out on the switch, carefully move the switch up to
position 1. This is best done by placing only one finger under the switch
and moving it upward from the bottom.

Selecting position 1 discharges one fire-extinguisher bottle to a lateral


engine or two fire-extinguisher bottles to the center engine.

If the fire warning persists:

5. Fire-Extinguisher DISCH Switch.......................................... POSITION 2

Position 2 is a lever-locked position, and the switch must now be pulled


out and moved upward to select this position.

Selecting position 2 discharges one alternate fire extinguisher bottle to a


lateral engine and two alternate fire extinguisher bottles to the center engine.

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.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY EP-3


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

7. GEN Switch ......................................................................................... OFF

The generator switch should be placed off to remove the affected generator
from the electrical circuitry.

8. Engine Anti-ice .................................................................................... OFF

If the No. 2 engine is shut down:

9. Bus-Tie Switch ................................................................................... TIED

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.

10. Standby Hydraulic Pump ........................................... ON/AS REQUIRED

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.

11. Land as soon as possible.

The aircraft must be landed at the nearest suitable airport for inspection
and repair.

INTERNAL ENGINE FIRE ON THE GROUND


The best way to fight an internal engine fire is to rotate the compressor by
means of the starter in order to cool the engine at the location of the fire. The
purpose is to evacuate both excess fuel and any flames present.

EP-4 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

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.

1. Power Lever.................................................................................. CUTOFF

Move the power lever to cutoff to shut off the fuel at the fuel control.

2. Fuel Shutoff Switch ................................................................ ACTUATED

Move the fuel shutoff switch (Figure EP-2) up to shut off fuel at the fuel
manifold for the engine affected.

3. Start Selector Switch ............................................ MOTOR–START STOP

This arms the start circuit for engine motoring.

4. Start Button ........................................................................... DEPRESSED

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.

5. Crew and Passenger Bleed Switches.................................................... OFF

This is done to keep fumes from entering the cabin of the aircraft.

6. Evacuation...................................................... INITIATED IF REQUIRED

Initiate the evacuation when crew and passengers have been breifed. Fire
brigade is also advised.

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.

1. APU Master Pushbutton Light............................................. SHUT DOWN

This action is taken to ensure power is removed from the APU electrical
control circuitry.

2. APU Generator Pushbutton Light ........................................................ OFF

This is part of the cleanup procedure to disconnect any possible residual


electrical circuitry.

3. Bleed-Air APU Switch......................................................................... OFF

This action is necessary to close off any potential air supply to the cabin to
prevent smoke or fumes from entering.

EP-6 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

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.

4. APU Extinguisher Switch ...................................................... POSITION 1

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.

If the fire warning persists:

5. No. 2 Engine Fuel Shutoff Switch .......................................... ACTUATED

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.

6. No. 2 Engine Power Lever ........................................................... CUTOFF

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.

7. Booster 2 Switch .................................................................................. OFF

As it is no longer needed, the boost pump must be turned off.

8. No. 2 GEN Switch................................................................................ OFF

9. No. 2 Engine Anti-ice .......................................................................... OFF

If the anti-ice system was turned on for ground operations, it should be


turned off as part of the cleanup procedure.

CAUTION
Do not attempt to restart the APU after it has been
shut down, due to a fire or an overheat condition.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

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.

If access to the baggage compartment is not permitted because the


compartment has depressurized, the aircraft is above 41,000 feet, the
aircraft is in the takeoff or landing phase of flight, or the presence of both
pilots is required in the cockpit.

1. BAG Switch................................................................................... ISOL

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.

2. BAG COMP Extinguisher Switch .................................... POSITION 1

Break the safety wire on the baggage compartment fire-extinguisher


switch and move the switch to position 1. This fires one bottle to the
baggage compartment.

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.

1. Airspeed ..................................................................... 190 KIAS OR LESS

This is the maximum airspeed for landing gear operations (VLO). Slow to
this speed before extending the landing gear.

2. Landing Gear.......................................................................... EXTENDED

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

EP-10 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

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.

2. Microphone Selector.................................................... MASK AND TEST

For hot mike communications within the cockpit, speakers must be


selected, and the mask and CPIT buttons on the pilot and copilot audio
panels must be pushed on. To communicate to an outside agency, select
the proper radio microphone button on the audio panel, and depress the
MIC button on the top inside of either control wheel.

3. No Smoking Sign................................................................................... ON

4. Passenger Oxygen Controller .................................................. OVERRIDE

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.

5. Passenger Masks......................................................................... DONNED

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

This action is designed to increase the airflow in the cockpit to expedite


smoke evacuation as the checklist continues.

2. Isolation Valve Knob (Figure EP-4) ....................................... ISOLATION

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.

to OFF.

3. Crew Bleed-Air Switch (If Smoke Persists) ........................................ 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:

4. COND Control Lever ......................................................................... TIED

On the copilot’s right console, move the cabin/cockpit interconnection


control lever aft. This interconnects the ducting of the two air-conditioning
systems. Clean conditioned air will now be supplied to the entire air-
conditioning system by the passenger air-conditioning system using bleed
air from only the No. 2 engine.

OR

Troubleshoot the system to determine which engine, No. 1 or No. 3, was


causing the smoke. The air-conditioning systems can then be switched
back to normal operations, provided the defective engine N1 rpm is kept
3% below that of the other two engines. Sound judgment should dictate
your choice in this emergency. It might be prudent to choose Alternative
1 above.

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.

6. Passenger Bleed-Air Switch................................................................. OFF

If the smoke decreases or disappears, continue the flight with the


faulty bleed-air switch isolated. The smoke probably emanated from the
No. 2 engine.

If the smoke persists, the cooling unit is suspect. Proceed as follows:

7. Crew Temperature Controller ................................... MANUAL/40% HOT

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 disappears:

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.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY EP-13


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

If the smoke persists:

8. Crew Bleed-Air Switch ........................................................................ OFF

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.

9. Descend to 14,000 feet or below or to the minimum safe altitude.

CAUTION
The following procedure must not be applied if flames
are present in the cabin or cockpit.

At or below 14,000 feet:

10. Pressurization Dump Switch............................................................ DUMP

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.

At or below and indicated airspeed of 215 knots:


11. LH Direct-Vision Window ................................................................ OPEN

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.

This is the maximum altitude for sustained flight, without oxygen, in an


unpressurized aircraft.

If the smoke continues or if the fire is not visibly verified to be out:

2. Land as soon as possible.

The aircraft must be landed at the nearest suitable airport for inspection
and repair.

DEPLOYMENT IN FLIGHT
REV
UNLOCK

AND POSSIBLY TRANSIT AND/OR DEPLOYED

The aircraft may experience a pitch-down moment, accompanied by abnor-


mal noise and buffeting.

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.

The DEPLOYED light means the synchronizing bellcrank controlling the


clamshell doors has moved to the deployed position.

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.

2. Thrust Reverser NORM/STOW Switch ........................................... STOW

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.

3. Airspeed.................................................................. 230 KNOTS OR LESS

This will additionally reduce the airloads on the clamshell doors.

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.

If the thrust reverser remains deployed:

2. Thrust Reverser NORM/STOW Switch ........................................... STOW

Keep the thrust reverser NORM/STOW switch in STOW to keep


the emergency stow signal and hydraulic pressure on the retraction side of
the actuator.

3. Land as soon as possible.

Land at the nearest suitable airport for inspection and repair.

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.

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.

1. Fuel Supply to Remaining Engine............................................ CHECKED

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.

2. Bus-Tied Switch ................................................................................. TIED

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.

3. Limit Generator Load .......................................... 300 AMPS OR BELOW

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.

4. Crew and Passenger Bleed-Air Switches ............................................. OFF

This action eliminates the tap-off of bleed air from the operating engine,
thus producing more power for flight.

If No. 1 and No. 3 engines are inoperative:

5. Brake Selector Switch....................................................... #2/ASKID–OFF

Move the brake selector switch to #2/ASKID–OFF to supply emergency


braking from the No. 2 hydraulic system. This means no antiskid
braking, and add 50% to the landing distance and 50% to the landing
field length computations.

NOTE
Free fall extension of the three landing gear may
take approximatelytwo minutes to complete.

8. Flaps/Slats (As Required) ......................................... 20° FLAPS + SLATS

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:

9. 7° Flaps + Slats............................................................. VREF + 20 KNOTS

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.

10. 20° Flaps + Slats........................................................... VREF + 10 KNOTS

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.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

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

The normal deceleration devices, such as airbrakes and antiskid braking,


should be applied, if available. The thrust reverser is most effective at the
higher speeds of the landing rollout.

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.

If No. 2 braking system is used, increase the landing distance, calculated


above by 50%, due to the lack of antiskid brakes and the use of less than
40° flaps for landing.

TWO ENGINES INOPERATIVE—GO-AROUND


CAUTION
The decision to land or go around must be made at
or above 1,000 feet above ground level. The altitude
loss associated with this go-around procedure is ap-
proximately 500 feet.

ON THE GO-AROUND
1. Engine Thrust (Full Power) .................................................................. SET

Set maximum takeoff power on the operating engine as soon as the


decision is made to go around.

2. Landing Gear (If Down)....................................................... RETRACTED

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 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.

2. Parking Brake..................................... INTERMEDIATE DETENT ONLY

If the #2 P. BK light is not flashing, there should be hydraulic pressure


stored in the parking brake accumulator circuit for up to five applications
of the parking brake. Flashing of the #2 P. BK light indicates only one
more brake application is possible. Be careful when deploying the parking
brake handle to the first detent. Be sure the aircraft is aimed as straight as
possible down the runway before pulling the brake handle. If possible,
limit the number of pulls on the brake handle to one, for best effective use
of the stored hydraulic pressure.

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).

EP-34 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Pitch attitude is controlled essentially with the hor-


izontal stabilizer.

Loss of hydraulic power causes an upward deflection


of both ailerons, which produces a slight pitch-up mo-
ment that is easily counteracted with pitch control.
If the aircraft is not perfectly trimmed in roll when
hydraulic power is lost, it is difficult to keep the
wings level while accelerating to 260 knots; in this
case, it is best to decelerate, recenter the control,
then reaccelerate.

The rudder is the most maneuverable control sur-


face when hydraulic power is lost. The aircraft can
be turned by induced roll using the rudders.

At speeds below 200 knots, the aircraft maneuver-


ability improves.

Approach is made at a shallow angle to land in a


clean configuration at V REF + 30 knots.

10. Power Lever (of Engine Concerned) .................................................. IDLE

11. Engine at Idle Setting............................................................ STABILIZED

The reset attempt should be deferred until the engine is operating at flight
idle power to enhance the reset attempt.

12. GEN Switch (of Generator Concerned)................................................. ON

There are two alternatives to follow. Follow alternative 1 or 2 below.

Carefully observe the voltmeter and ammeter while resetting the generator.

Alternative 1
If the voltmeter deviates to maximum attempting the reset:

1. GEN Switch (of Generator Concerned) ............................................... OFF

Turn and leave the GEN switch off should an overvoltage condition exist.

2. Bus-Tied Switch ................................................................................. TIED

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.

3. Reduce the electrical load to the minimum required for flight.

Switch off as many systems as possible to maintain a minimum demand


on battery power.

4. FMS 2................................................................................................... OFF

5. IRS 2 ................................................................................................... OFF

6. Power Lever (of Generator Concerned)..................... NORMAL THRUST

7. Avoid icing conditions.

If at all possible, avoid icing conditions, as electrical control of some anti-


icing valves is necessary for proper operation. Without this control, anti-
icing capability will be lost, and the aircraft may begin to build ice on the
wings and engines. Pitot-static heating may also be lost.

2. Bus-Tied Switch ................................................................................. TIED

Before tying the buses, check the ammeter and voltmeter of each bus for
normal values. Check that the bus-tied light is on.

3. Turn on previously shed items.

4. Monitor voltmeter and ammeter indications.

After load-shedding, the batteries in good condition will provide for:

• 40 minutes of operation with an average load of 25 amps per bat-


tery in nonicing conditions.

• 20 minutes of operation with an average load of 45 amps per bat-


tery in icing conditions.

NOTE
The following items are recommended for load-
shedding to help prolong battery life even longer:

REDUCED LOAD ON BATTERIES (SAFT 2376)


In Nonicing Conditions
The load corresponds to a total output from the batteries of 35 amps at 24 volts
that ensures 59 minutes of operation with two 23-Ah batteries charged at 75%
of their capacity.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY EP-39


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

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:

• In nonicing conditions, for 57 minutes of operation, including five min-


utes during approach

or

• In icing conditions, for 24 minutes of operation, including five min-


utes during approach

RAPID DEPRESSURIZATION
Phase 1
1. Crew Oxygen Masks ........................................................ 100% DONNED

The crew oxygen masks must be put on immediately upon 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 masks 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% position.

2. Microphone Selector........................................................................ MASK

For hot mike communications within the cockpit, speakers must be


selected, and the mask and CPIT buttons on the pilot and copilot audio
panels must be pushed on. To communicate with an outside agency, select
the proper radio microphone button on the audio panel and depress the
MIC button on the top inside of either control wheel.

3. Fasten Belts and No Smoking Light Pushbuttons ................................. ON

4. Oxygen Controller and Passenger Masks.............. OVERRIDE/DONNED

oxygen panel clockwise to OVERRIDE and check that the pneumatic
PASS ON indicator is fully open. this drops the passenger oxygen masks

EP-40 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

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.

5. Emergency Descent.................................................................. INITIATED

Simultaneously, as the airbrake is deployed and as the throttles are brought


to idle, begin the descent by rolling the aircraft to a 45° angle of bank. This
will expedite entry into the descent without adversely affecting G-loading of
the aircraft. The initial descent angle should be approximately a 20°
nosedown pitch attitude. After the 20° nosedown pitch attitude is achieved,
remove all bank, hold the 20° pitch down until MMO/VMO is attained, and
then adjust pitch to approximately 10° of nosedown pitch, which should
maintain the aircraft at MMO/VMO in the descent.

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.

1. Autopilot ............................................................................ DISENGAGED

Disengage the autopilot, and hand-fly the aircraft throughout this


procedure. Disengagement is achieved by pressing the AP pushbutton on
the control wheel. Check for the AP light on. Press the AP pushbutton
again to clear the disengagement message on the ID 802 and the AP light.

2. Power Levers ...................................................................................... IDLE

It is advisable to turn on the airstart ignition for all three engines, to


prevent an engine flameout, before retarding the throttles to idle. This is
especially true when performing an emergency descent from high altitudes.

3. Airbrake Handle ..................................................................... POSITION 2

Position the airbrake handle to position 2 to assist in making as rapid a


descent as possible while remaining within the MMO/VMO limits.

4. Descent........................................................................................ INITIATE

Simultaneously, as the airbrake is deployed and as the throttles are brought


to idle, begin the descent by rolling the aircraft to a 45° angle of bank. This
will expedite entry into the descent without adversely affecting G-loading of
the aircraft. The initial descent angle should be approximately a 20°
nosedown pitch attitude. After the 20° nosedown pitch attitude is achieved,
remove all bank, hold the 20° pitch down until MMO/VMO is attained, and

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY EP-41


FlightSafety international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

then adjust pitch to approximately 10° of nosedown pitch, which should


maintain the aircraft at MMO/VMO in the descent.

5. Airspeed (Smooth Air)............................................................... MMO/VMO

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.

6. Transponder ............................................................................. CODE 7700

Advise ATC of your emergency and set the transponder to emergency


to ensure identification, priority handling, and a safe airspace throughout
this emergency.

FORCED LANDING

This is one of many procedures designed to close off the bleed-air systems
of the aircraft before landing.

8. Crew and Passenger Bleed Switches.................................................... OFF

This is done to isolate the cabin from engine bleed-air sources and to
prevent pressurization of the cabin.

9. HP 1, PRV 2, and PRV 3 Bleed-Air Switches ..................................... OFF

This is done to further isolate engine bleed-air systems.

10. Pressurization Switch....................................................................... DUMP

On the emergency pressurization control panel, lower the guard on the


DUMP switch and move the switch down to dump the cabin pressure. This
has a dual purpose:

• To release any residual pressure in the cabin that could prevent the
opening of the emergency exits after landing

• To release any residual pressure in the cabin in an attempt to keep


the cabin intact upon landing. If residual pressure was present in
the cabin upon touchdown, this pressure might cause more severe
damage to the structure when subjected to the forces of landing and
deceleration.
11. Landing Gear.......................................................................... EXTENDED

The landing gear should be extended either by normal, emergency or


gravity means. This is intended to help cushion the landing when effecting
a forced landing on any type of surface, except water. If all the landing

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY EP-43

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.

20. Cockpit Jump Seat ...................................................................... STOWED

If it hasn’t already been stowed, stow it to clear the way for cockpit
evacuation.

21. Emergency Exit................................................................................. OPEN

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.

22. Main Cabin Door .............................................................................. OPEN

An alternate means of evacuating the aircraft is through the main cabin


door. However, fully opening the main cabin door may not be possible,
dependent upon where the aircraft came to rest or whether or not the nose
landing gear is extended. Another alternative for evacuation is the pilot’s
direct-vision window. This should be used as a last resort if all other exits
fail to open or are covered by fire.

23. Evacuate the aircraft.

APPROACH—PARALLEL TO THE MAJOR SWELL


9. Wing Anti-ice....................................................................................... OFF

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.

10. Crew and Passenger Bleed Switches.................................................... OFF

This is done to further isolate the cabin from engine bleed-air sources and
to prevent pressurization of the cabin.

11. BLEED AIR BAG Switch........................................................... ISOLATE

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.

12. HP 1, PRV 2, and PRV 3 Switches ...................................................... OFF

This is done to further isolate engine bleed-air systems.

13. Pressurization Switch....................................................................... DUMP

On the emergency pressurization control panel, lower the guard on the


DUMP switch, and move the switch down to dump the cabin pressure.
This has a dual purpose:

• To release any residual pressure in the cabin that could prevent the
opening of the emergency exits after ditching.

• To release any residual pressure in the cabin in an attempt to keep


the cabin intact upon ditching. If residual pressure was present in
the cabin upon contact with the water, this pressure might cause
more severe damage to the structure when subjected to the forces
of ditching and deceleration.

14. Landing Gear........................................................................ RETRACTED

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.

15. Flaps + Slats Handle ................................................. 40° FLAPS + SLATS

If possible, the maximum flap setting should be used to fly the aircraft as
slow as possible for the ditching.

ANTI-ICE
Icing Conditions
Icing conditions exist when the OAT on the ground and for takeoff, or
TAT in flight is 10°C or below, and visible moisture in any form is present
(such as clouds, fog with visibility of one mile or less, rain, snow, sleet, and
ice crystals).

Icing conditions also exist when the OAT on the ground and for takeoff is 10°C
or below when operating on ramps, taxiways or runways where surface snow,
ice, standing water or slush may be ingested by the engines or freeze on en-
gines, nacelles, or engine sensor probes.

Engine Anti-ice
Engine anti-ice systems (ENG ANTI-ICE ) should be switched ON in flight
or on ground when icing conditions exist or are anticipated, except during climb
and cruise when the temperature is less than –40°C SAT or TAT more than
+10°C (50°F).

However, flying in vicinity or through “cumuliform” clouds can result in rapid


variation of SAT with SAT increasing above –40°C. In such case, anticipate
icing conditions by selecting the anti-icing system ON.

Do not rely on airframe visual cues to turn anti-icing system ON. Use the tem-
perature and visible moisture criteria specified.

Conclusion
During climb and cruise, the pneumatic anti-ice system shall be turned ON:

• Below +10°C (50°F) TAT and above –40°C

and

• In visible moisture.

If both of these conditions are not met, the anti-ice should be turned OFF.

MANEUVERS AND PROCEDURES


AIRWORK MANEUVERS
TAKEOFF WITH ENGINE FAILURE AFTER V1
If an engine failure occurs after V 1 , during the takeoff roll, continue the take-
off using the rudder to maintain directional control and runway alignment
(Figure MAP-1). Perform the following procedure:
1. Rotate at the charted V R speed to the appropriate attitude for the flaps
20/7 + slats.
2. Maintain the charted V 2 speed throughout the first and second seg-
ments of climb. If a speed slightly higher than the charted V 2 speed
is attained, accept that speed and climb out on it rather than an increased
pitch attitude in order to lower the speed.
3. When a positive rate of climb is established as indicated by both the
altimeter and vertical velocity indicators, retract the landing gear.
4. At the altitude selected to retract the flaps, normally a minimum of
400 feet above the airport elevation or 35 feet above close-in obstacle,
whichever is higher, begin acceleration to V 2 +25 knots.
5. Retract the slats and flaps, accelerate to the final segment climb speed
(1.43 V S), reduce the power on the operating engines to maximum con-
tinuous thrust, and climb at 1.43 V S to 1,500 feet above the airport
elevation.
6. Engine shutdown procedures may commence during the final segment
climb if the situation allows.

AIRWORK—STEEP TURNS
Steep turns may be accomplished at altitudes of 5,000 feet above ground level
and higher to a maximum altitude of 18,000 feet. Desired airspeed through-
out the maneuver is 250 ±10 knots; bank angle is 45 ±5°. Turns should be made
through a minimum of 180° to a maximum of 360° of travel.

AIRWORK—UNUSUAL ATTITUDES
Unusual attitudes will be accomplished at an altitude of at least 10,000 feet
AGL, but not above 18,000 feet MSL.

Primary consideration should be given to smooth, unhurried recovery with a


minimum gain/loss of altitude. A minimum of two unusual attitude situations
will be given, one nose high with decreasing airspeed below 200 knots and
the other nose low with increasing airspeed above 300 knots.

Nose-high maneuvers should be given with the aircraft altitude not to exceed
30° noseup with a moderate angle of bank. Recovery is made with power, and
an increase in angle of bank not to exceed 90°, in the same direction of the

turn. This type of recovery allows the nose of the aircraft to descend to the
horizon with a positive G condition, thus avoiding the adversities of negative
G forces.

Nosedown maneuvers will be given by placing the aircraft in a moderate


bank with the nose down no more than 30° below the horizon. Recovery
should be smooth, reducing power to idle, leveling the wings, and using
noseup elevator to ease the nose to the horizon. The airbrakes may be used
as required.

Proper evaluation of instrument presentations is imperative in all cases.


Verify attitude indicator presentations with the copilot’s and/or standby hori-
zon. If the attitude indicator is inoperative, evaluate data given by the airspeed,
altimeter, and vertical velocity indicators.

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 not a specific requirement of the FAA nor is it specified by


the aircraft manufacturer. It is designed for training use only and, through ex-
perience, has proven to be most effective in enhancing aircraft and Level C
simulator controllability of pilots in training.

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

incrementally retract gear, flaps, and leading-edge devices at each suc-
ceeding turn reversal until the clean configuration is once again
established. Maintain assigned altitude, 160 knots airspeed, and the
15° angle of bank left and right on the 60° arc.
5. The maneuver is completed after reaching the clean configuration with
one subsequent turn reversal.
Performance criteria are:
• Angle of bank ....................................................................................... 15°
• Airspeed ................................................................................ 160 ±5 knots

• Altitude...................................................................... Assigned ±100 feet

• Power limits............................................................... Not to be exceeded

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.

Emphasis must be placed on proper approach-to-stall recognition, smooth and


positive aircraft control, and proper recovery procedures.

Proper recognition of an approaching stall regime can be gained through


observation of any one of the following indications:

• Activation of the audible stall warning system

• Illumination of the igniter lights

• Onset of low-speed buffet

• An angle-of-attack indicator with its pointer at the low-speed buffet


reference mark (on aircraft so equipped)

Smooth and positive aircraft control is mandatory throughout the execution


of the approach-to-stall series. Power, pitch, and bank inputs must not be abrupt
or erratic.

Prior to beginning the approach to stall series, compute the V REF and set the
airspeed bugs accordingly.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

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.

1. Landing gear—Extend in normal landing sequence prescribed.


2. Flaps/leading-edge devices—Set flaps +40° + slats.
3. Power setting—After landing configuration is established: 70% N 1 .
4. After the power is set, allow the aircraft/simulator to slow to the V REF
speed. Descend on V REF to a simulated decision height (DH) at least
500 feet below the originally assigned altitude. When reaching the ar-
bitrary DH, level the aircraft/simulator at this altitude, and without
adjusting the power, allow the aircraft/simulator to slow to the first
indication of a stall. In a Level C simulator this maneuver may be done
in the traffic pattern while on final instrument approach, inside the
final approach fix.
5. Trim—Do not use stabilizer trim below an airspeed which is 10 knots
above expected stall indication speed.
6. Stall indication normally occurs at V REF –20 knots.
7. Recovery—At the first indication of stall:
a. Maximum power—Smoothly advance throttles to maximum power
setting. Copilot monitors limitations.
b. Simultaneously retract flaps one notch to 20°.
c. Smoothly maintain pitch only enough to stop the stall warning
or buffet and minimize altitude excursions.
d. As airspeed increases to V REF , execute normal go-around pro-
cedures: Climb on V REF to the original altitude, retract the land-
ing gear upon a positive indication of climb, and retract the flaps
and leading-edge devices in accordance with prescribed aircraft
procedures. V REF may be exceeded in the climb only to preclude
exceeding a 20° angle. In a Level C simulator, fly published
missed-approach procedure.
e. Accelerate to and hold 190 knots airspeed with the aircraft in the
clean configuration.

Performance Standards
• Smooth and positive aircraft control throughout the series

• No altitude excursions during entry; minimal altitude excursions


during recovery except for the descent and ascent required during the
landing configuration stall procedures

• Recovery without entry into the secondary stall regime

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.

This procedure assumes structural integrity of the airplane. If integrity is sus-


pect, reduce the rate of descent and avoid high load factors.

The following procedure is prescribed by the AFM:

1. Disengage the autopilot.


2. Retard power levers to idle.
3. Extend the airbrakes to position 2.
4. Descent airspeed: M MO /V MO , smooth air conditions
5. ATC Transponder, MAYDAY code—Squawk 7700.
6. Ensure that landing gear is up.
7. To start the descent, the initiation of a 45° bank will expedite entry
to the descent without adversely affecting the G-loading of the air-
craft. The initial descent angle should be 20° nosedown pitch on the
ADI. After the 20° nosedown is achieved, remove all bank as neces-
sary. Contnue in a 20° nosedown pitch angle until VMO/MMO is attained.
At this time, a reduction to a nosedown pitch angle of 10° should en-
sure maintenance of V MO /M MO throughout the descent to the level-
off altitude.
8. At 1,000 feet above the level-off altitude, reduce nosedown pitch
angle to achieve a vertical velocity of not more than 2,000 feet per
minute. Retract the airbrakes, if necessary, at 500 feet above the level-
off altitude. Begin level-off to assigned altitude at 10% of the indicated
vertical velocity in the descent.

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.

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.

MISSED APPROACH—ONE ENGINE INOPERATIVE


When decision height is reached on an ILS approach, or when reaching the
missed approach point as specified for a nonprecision approach, and visual
contact with the airport or landing runway cannot be made, execute a missed
approach (go-around). Figure MAP-9 illustrates a Missed approach—One
engine inoperative.

Follow the missed approach instructions as depicted on the appropriate


instrument approach plate used for the approach.

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.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE


INTRODUCTION
It is the responsibility of the airplane operator to ensure that the airplane
is properly loaded. At the time of delivery, the manufacturer provides the
necessary weight and balance data to compute individual loadings. All sub-
sequent changes in airplane weight and balance are the responsibility of the
airplane owner and/or operator. Information in this chapter begins with
weight and balance definitions.

The second portion of this chapter covers performance abbreviations and


definitions and supplies acceptable performance guidelines.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE


DEFINITIONS
Maximum Gross Weight—The maximum gross weight to which the air-
plane has been certified in compliance with the Federal Air Regulations.

Payload—Weight of passengers, baggage, and cargo (does not include crew


and usable fuel)

Center of Gravity (CG)—The point at which the mass of an object is con-


sidered to be concentrated

Arm (or Moment Arm)—The horizontal distance along the longitudinal


axis from the datum to the point where a force is applied. Normally measured
in inches, aft of the datum is plus (+), and forward of the datum is minus (–).

Moment—The product of a weight or force and its moment arm (M = W × A)

Datum—Arbitrary reference plane selected by the manufacturer from which


all measurements are made for weight and balance computations. The F-900
Datum is 25% of the mean aerodynamic chord (MAC) which coincided with
fuselage station (FS) 420.43 in (10,670 mm) (fuselage station +0 is the for-
ward end of the airplane nose cone.

Mean Aerodynamic Chord (MAC)—An imaginary constant section airfoil


that produces the same aerodynamic characteristics as the real airfoil. Due
to its constant dimensions, the MAC can be assigned fuselage station num-
bers for its leading and trailing edges, and all calculations and measurements
can be referenced from those points. The center of gravity is sometimes ex-
pressed as a percent of MAC. This defines the CG location as being the lead-
ing and trailing edge MAC at a certain percentage of the total distance.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Example
Although seemingly complex at times, all weight and balance problems are
handled by use of the following moment equation.

(1) Moment = Weight X Arm

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,

(2) Weight = Moment, and (3) Arm = Moment


Arm Weight

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.

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.

tical and horizontal stabilizers are metal, using
spars and stressed-skin construction. The lead-
ing edge of the horizontal stabilizer is move-
able for pitch trim, actuated by an electrically
operated jackscrew. The rudder is trimmed
through normal trim motor operation.

WING
The Falcon 900 wing (Figure 1-16) has a dou-
ble-sweep tapered design and is mounted low
on the fuselage. It has machined forward and
aft spars sandwiched between milled upper
and lower load-bearing skin panels. The flight
controls attached to each wing include:

• One inboard and one outboard leading-


edge slat
• Three airbrake panels on the top sur-
face
• Two flaps on the trailing edge
• One aileron
The wing box structure forms one large inte-
gral (wet) fuel tank in each wing. The aft spar
of the box supports the main landing gear; the
forward spar supports the rollers for the lead-
ing-edge slats.

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS
GENERAL
The following is a brief introduction to the
major airplane systems on the Falcon 900.
Detailed descriptions and operation of these
systems are contained within the individual
chapters of this training manual.

ELECTRICAL POWER
SYSTEMS
The airplane electrical system is a 28.5-VDC
Figure 1-14. Baggage Compartment (nominal) system which receives power from
three starter-generators connected through a split
bus bar system. An additional starter-generator
is available from the APU for ground operation.

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.

OPERATION
When airplane power is turned on, the master
warning and annunciator lights circuit is ener-
gized with 28 volts. Illumination of one of
the annunciators occurs when its correspond-
ing system experiences a failure, is turned
off, or has not been actuated. The annuncia-
tor extinguishes only when the illuminating
malfunction and/or circumstance has been
cleared.

Intensity of most annunciators may be de-


creased by means of the BRIGHT–DIM switch.
When placed in the DIM position, each an-
nunciator’s intensity is reduced by approxi-
mately half. To return the annunciators to
normal intensity, the switch must be placed to
the BRIGHT position.

NOTE
Power for the master warning panel
is normally supplied from bus A1. If
bus A1 fails, bus B1 automatically
powers the warning panel.

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

consumed first.

The following applies to aircraft not fitted


with the XTK 2 fuel transfer valve (aircraft
with SB F900-48):
The fuel flow, provided by gravity trans-
fer from the front to rear fuselage tanks
assisted by the jet pump in the rear tank,
is in most cases higher than the amount
of fuel consumed from the rear tank
(supplied to engine 2).
This results in the following consump-
tion sequence:
• Consumption of fuel in forward tank
until empty, then,

• Consumption of fuel in rear tank

This consumption sequence leads to a


variation in the CG of the aircraft, which
has to be compensated by an aft CG lim-
itation for the zero fuel weight.

Internal Tank Transfer


Internal tank transfer is accomplished by jet
pumps using motive flow fuel from the respect-
ive boost pumps. Each wing tank group uses
four jet pumps; the fuselage tanks use two jet
pumps for internal transfer in addition to a third
jet pump used for fuel transfer from front tank
to rear tank. Refer to Figure 5-4 and Engine Feed
System, this chapter, for additional information.

ENGINE FEED SYSTEM


General
The group 1 and group 3 fuel distribution
(feed) systems each include the following
components:
• One boost pump
• One interconnection manifold
• One boost crossfeed manifold
• Four jet pumps
• One indicating pressure switch

The group 2 distribution system includes the • Bus A1—Group 1 boost


following components:
• Bus A2—Group 2 standby boost
• Two boost pumps
• Bus B1—Group 2 normal boost
• One fuel manifold
• Bus B2—Group 3 boost

Refer to Fuel System Controls, this chapter,
• Three jet pumps for additional information.
• One indicating pressure switch
Boost Pumps
Four identical, three-phase, AC-powered,
submerged, centrifugal fuel boost pumps are
installed in the Falcon 900 fuel system. Each
pump has a built-in inverter which converts
28 VDC to 115 VAC 400 Hz. Group 1 and
group 3 tanks each have one pump installed;
group 2 tanks have two pumps. Group 1 and
group 3 pumps deliver fuel under low pres-
sure to their respective interconnection and
crossfeed manifolds and then to their re-
spective engines. Group 2 pumps deliver fuel
to the group 2 manifold and crossfeed man-
ifold, then to the No. 2 engine. Pump dis-
charge is 7.25 psi with a flow rate of 10.56 U.S.
gallons per minute at 51,000 feet altitude.

Control switches for the boost pumps are lo-


cated on the overhead panel. Electrical power
is supplied to the fuel boost pumps from the
following primary buses:

When opened, the defueling/refueling valve


interconnects the group 2 system with the re-
fueling system (See Figure 5-4). Defueling
all the tanks through the normal engine fuel
supply circuit is enabled by activation of the
boost pumps and opening the X-BP crossfeed
valves for group 1 and group 3 system.

a means of eliminating condensation and other
contaminants which settle to the bottom of

the high current draw during refueling.

DEFUELING
Apart from its center system gravity refueling

also be used for defueling through the pressure-
refueling connector. For this function, the
valve is controlled by the DEFUELING switch
on the refueling panel.

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.

GENERAL
The Falcon 900 is powered by three turbofan en- systems, and fire/overheat detection systems; they
gines. Each engine incorporates an integral, fully share a common fire/overheat detection test sys-
automatic lubrication system, fuel and ignition tem and a fire-extinguishing system.

For descriptive purposes, the engine is divided
into 10 major sections (Figure 7-3) as follows:

Air Inlet
The air inlet is formed by the fan housing. Air
is directed into the fan housing by the nacelle
air inlet duct. Aft of the fan, the airflow is di-
vided into two flow paths. One flow path en-
ters the core engine, and the other enters the
full-length bypass duct.

Fan
The fan is a single-stage axial rotor mounted
in the air inlet. The inlet duct has no guide
vanes, which reduces noise and eliminates in-
herent icing problems. An armored ring on
the inlet duct provides for fan blade contain-
ment should fan disintegration occur. The fan

LP Compressor
General
The LP compressor has four axial stages. The
airflow to the LP compressor is supplied by the
inner diameter of the fan. The compressor dif-
fusion process increases air pressure and ve-
locity and directs the air mass rearward through
a diffuser to the HP compressor.

The LP compressor is driven by the LP turbine.


The direction of rotation, as viewed from the
rear, is clockwise.

Surge Bleed System


The LP compressor has a surge bleed system
since axial compressors tend to stall and surge
under certain conditions. For each compressor
rpm, there is a relationship between its pressure Figure 7-4. LP Compressor Surge
increase and its air mass. Under certain Bleed Valve
conditions such as low power, acceleration, and
deceleration, this balance may be disturbed. The
compressor, in effect, is an air pump, but the air
moving through it meets many obstacles, such as
combustion pressure. When overfueling occurs,
SURGE BLEED VALVE
such as during acceleration, combustion pressure CONTROL SOLENOIDS
may exceed compressor outlet pressure,
compressor airflow slows down, and compressor
blade stall occurs, resulting in a pileup of air
followed by a surge.

Stall and surge conditions may also occur during


periods of HP/LP spool rpm mismatch, since air
stacks up at the HP compressor, producing stalls
and surges which, if not controlled, could cause
flameout and/or mechanical failures.

A safe surge margin has been determined for the


TFE731 engine. It is controlled by an electro-
T
pneumatic surge valve (Figure 7-4) mounted at ON

Engine Instrument Test System


A test system is provided for the N 1, ITT, and
N 2 gages. All three are tested simultaneously by
a push-button switch located on the mainte-
nance test panel (Figure 7-27) on the copilot’s
sidewall.

The test switch is labeled ENG INDIC TEST.


The test system indicates the validity of the
harness, signal processing, analog and digital
displays, and the N 1 compensator setting. The
test requires approximately 15 seconds. When
the test switch is momentarily pushed, the N 1
sweep needle will move to a blue dot position
at 106% and hold steadily; the digital display
will initially indicate 188.8%, then change to
106%, and finally change to the compensated
value of the N 1 compensating resistor. This
value must not be greater than 1.45% or less than
0% of actual N 1. The ITT sweep needle will go
to the blue dot on the dial face which is at

Control
The reverser is controlled by a piggyback lever
(Figure 7-28) mounted on the No. 2 engine
power lever. The reverser lever has three basic
positions: stow, deploy, and thrust increase.
The lever is mechanically locked in the stow
position until the No. 2 engine power lever is
at idle. The initial upward movement from the
stow position is limited by a reverse locking
solenoid, permitting deployment and idle re-
verse thrust only, until the clamshells reach the
fully deployed position.

Figure 7-37 depicts operating components and


hydraulic deployment of the thrust reverser.

When the reverser lever is moved to the deploy


position, a microswitch is operated and com-
pletes a circuit to the locking solenoid in the
reverser selector valve and to an isolation
Figure 7-35. Thrust Reverser— solenoid, which in turn directs pressure to the
Stowed locking actuator and to the stow side of the re-
verser actuator to off-load the latches. When
the latches are released, the deployment
solenoid is energized to position the spool
valve in the reverser selector valve to direct hy-
draulic pressure to the reverser actuator to de-
ploy the clamshells. When the clamshells reach
the fully deployed position, a microswitch is
closed, and power is applied to the reverse
locking solenoid, permitting movement to the
reverser lever to the full reverse thrust position.
While the reverser lever is out of the stow po-
sition the power lever is locked electrically
and mechanically in the idle position.

Moving the reverser lever toward stow reduces


reverse thrust until the idle/deploy position is
reached. The power lever remains mechanically
locked in the IDLE position. Moving the re-
verser lever to the stow position will permit the
spool valve to direct pressure to the stow side
of the reverser actuator. When the clamshells
reach the stow position, the mechanical latch
will automatically engage, the isolation valve

The Falcon 900 has a fire protection system to detect and extinguish fires in certain sec-
tions of the airplane. The detection system activates warning lights and an aural tone in
the cockpit. The extinguishers are controlled by crew command.

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.

GENERAL ENGINE BLEED AIR


Air from the three engines or the APU is used by
the pneumatic system. The bleed air is di- GENERAL

discharge. Figure 9-1 illustrates the bleed-air


system.

Main HP circuit bleed valve operation is


controlled by HP1, PRV 2, and PRV 3 switches
located on the BLEED AIR panel (Figure 9-2).

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

switch also controls the electrical power sup-


ply to the PT2TT2 probe located in the air intake.

The switch is lever-locked in the off (down)


position. When turned on, power is applied to
the P T2 T T2 and to the solenoid of a pressure-
operated, engine pressure-regulating, anti-
icing valve. If the engine is running, the HP
outlet pressure opens and modulates the valve,
maintaining a relatively constant anti-icing
pressure, which is supplied directly to the
ram-air inlet lip and through a flow limiter to
Figure 10-1. Nacelle Air Intakes

NO. 1 NACELLE AND RAM-AIR


INLET ANTI-ICING
General
The anti-icing HP bleed-air supply from the
No. 1 engine is used to anti-ice the nacelle inlet
lip and the ECU heat exchanger ram-air inlet
(Figure 10-2) in the No. 1 engine pylon.

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

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.

The air-conditioning valves are controlled by
associated switches labeled “PASSENGER”
and “CREW,” located on the BLEED AIR sec-
tion of the overhead panel. The switches have
three positions: AUTO, ON, and OFF. The
ON position drives the associated valve to the
open position. The OFF position drives the
associated valve to the closed position.The
functions of the AUTO position of the air-
conditioning switches are determined by the

brake terminates operation of the turbofan in
clean configuration flight when TAS is 300 knots
or greater. A bypass valve opens to bypass the
turbofan during clean configuration flight of 300
TAS or greater. The input signals for turbofan and

PCB and transmitted to the brake control valve
and to the bypass valve.

Operation
When the airplane is on the ground or in flight
with the main landing gear extended, or the
slats extended, or TAS less than 300 knots, the
turbofan brake solenoid control valve (Figure
11-6A) is deenergized and closed, isolating
bleed-air pressure from the brake. The brake as-
sembly then vents to the atmosphere and is re-
leased. Hot bleed air is directed through the

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.

The APU bleed air is supplied directly to the


passenger air-conditioning valve and to the
crew air-conditioning valve through the nor-
mally open isolation valve. From this point
on, the operation of the air conditioning is as
described for slow or dirty configuration
flight in Figure 11-10, in conjunction with
Figures 11-19 and 11-20.

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.

GENERAL
The Falcon 900 incorporates a cabin pres-
surization system capable of operating in au-
tomatic or manual modes. In the automatic
mode the system is controlled by a computer,
preprogrammed to provide for automatic or
semiautomatic operating modes. The system
is variable isobaric and automatically con-

CHAPTER 14
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.

GENERAL
LANDING GEAR

The main doors can be opened on the ground


by levers on the uplocks for maintenance or
inspection, or, if the No. 1 hydraulic system
is pressurized, by pulling the hydraulic emer-
gency gear extension handle labeled “GEAR
PULL” (Figure 14-4).

Pressure is applied to the doorlocks and the


door actuators, releasing the locks and ex-
tending the doors. To close the doors, push in
(stow) the GEAR PULL handle. This ener-
gizes the normal sequencing circuits and a
hydraulic selector valve, directing pressure
to close the doors.

If hydraulic pressure is not available, each


door can be opened manually. Actuate the un-
locking lever on the doorlock. Manually move
the door open, evacuating fluid from the door
cylinder. Close the door by moving it to the
closed position, mechanically engaging the
doorlock.

NOSE GEAR
The nose gear leg (Figure 14-5) includes an
outer shock strut barrel housing a shock ab-
sorber serviced with hydraulic fluid and ni-
trogen. A rotatable inner barrel is controlled
by the steering system.

The inner barrel and shock absorber are con-


nected with scissor links. A hydraulically actu-
ated rack-and-pinion steering actuator integral
with the inner barrel provides motion through
the scissor links for nosewheel steering.

The nose gear features two flight/ground (NORMAL HANDLE DOWN)

erators, one driven by each nosewheel. When Figure 14-4. Hydraulic Emergency (Gear

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-

shown in Figure 14-25.

in the system are a solenoid-operated selector
valve, a slide valve selector, a feedback poten-

for the electric control box is from bus B2

The steering actuator (Figure 14-30) is inte-

Hydraulic pressure applied to either end of

A solenoid-operated selector valve is electri-


cally opened to direct pressure to the steering
assembly when the handwheel is depressed
and rotated and is spring-loaded closed to pre-
vent steering when the handwheel is released.

NOSEWHEEL STEERING
OPERATION
Nosewheel steering is initiated with the hand-
wheel (Figure 14-31), which can be rotated
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°.

The handwheel is locked until it is depressed.


This energizes the steering selector valve open
to direct pressure to the slide valve selector
(Figure 14-32).

If the airplane is on the ground, the slide valve


selector has been mechanically positioned
open to direct pressure to the slaving unit.

Handwheel rotation actuates a potentiometer to


send electrical signals through the electronic
control box to a torque motor that determines
positioning of a spool within the steering con-
LEFT CONSOLE trol valve. The position of this valve deter-
mines flow to the steering actuator for steering
Figure 14-31. Steering Handwheel in the selected direction. The rack-and-pinion
actuator transmits motion through the scissors
to deflect the nosewheel for steering.
ANTISHIMMY SYSTEM
With hydraulic power not supplied to the steer-
ing system, nosewheel shimmy is dampened
by the antishimmy system consisting of the
steering actuator, two restrictor valves, and a
spring accumulator. Damping occurs when
movement of fluid from one chamber of the
steering actuator to the other chamber is forced
through the restrictors.

NOSE GEAR
CENTERING SYSTEM
The nose gear centering system consists of
two cams within the nose gear shock absorber.

strut; the upper cam is attached to the rotat- Figure 14-33. Scissors Disconnect Pin

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

the Mach number is above .775. The pitch
trim command inputs are supplied by the Mach

With the Mach trim system engaged, the nor-

trim switch is released, the Mach trim system
resumes its automatic operation.

Mach trim is overridden by the auto-

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.

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.

CHAPTER 16
AVIONICS

INTRODUCTION
The Falcon 900 avionics consist of the pitot-static and air data systems, the automatic
flight guidance and control system, and other associated avionics and communica-
tions systems. This chapter includes the standard avionics package available with the
exception of the automatic flight control system (AFCS). Information on the AFCS
will be handed out separately by the instructor. The user should consult applicable
supplements in the AFM and vendor manuals for additional information and infor-
mation on specific systems not included in this chapter.

GENERAL
The pitot-static system includes three pitot- The standard automatic flight guidance and
static probes, six static air ports, and a ram- control system (AFGCS) includes the air data
air temperature sensor, which serve the air system, the autopilot and flight director, the
data computers, selected airplane systems, inertial reference system, and the Sperry EFIS
and associated pilot and copilot instruments. electronic flight instrument system.

Electrical power sources for the avionics are


listed at the end of this chapter under Electrical
Power Sources. Refer to Chapter 2, “Electri-
cal Power Systems,” for additional information.

PITOT-STATIC SYSTEM
GENERAL
The pitot-static system serves the computers
of a Sperry air data system, the cabin
pressurization system, the stall warning and
identification system, a standby altimeter, a
standby Mach speed indicator, and the aileron
Q and elevator Arthur units.

Figure 16-1 shows the Falcon 900 pitot-static


system configured with the electric pilot’s
and copilot’s Mach speed indicators.

PITOT PRESSURE PROBES


Three identical pitot probes supply total pres-
sure information to the three systems (pilot,
copilot, and standby). The probes supply sep-
arate, independent pressures as depicted in Figure 16-2. Pitot Probes

can be moved to any position between .15 and
.70 on the percentage scale, or alternatively,
the reference pointer can be positioned to a

a cross-reference between V/V S ratio and nor-

reference pointer to V/V S 1.45, .52, etc.). For
a typical full-flap 1.3 V S approach, the V/V S
pointer is set to 1.3 by turning the REF SET
knob. Then, when the indicator pointer is cen-
tered in the adjustable reference index (by
changing pitch and power as required), the
AFM V REF will be obtained.

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.

PREFLIGHT — EXTERIOR INSPECTION


The exterior inspection is presented as a checklist and should be performed
just before entering the aircraft for the flight.
If flight is delayed, exterior inspection will have to be made again.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

Compliance with the order prescribed for application of these procedures


is recommended. Where more than one phase is specified:

PHASE I Specifies immediate action to be accomplished without the


need for reference to the checklist.

PHASE II Items shall be completed only after PHASE I items have been
completed by checklist.

PHASE III Items shall be completed as soon as time permits.

AURAL WARNINGS shall be identified before silencing. Eliminating these


aural warnings will enable better coordination during the accomplishment of
the emergency procedures.

ABNORMAL PROCEDURES

Procedures in this section address foreseeable situations involving failures,


in which the systems redundancy or selection of an alternate system will
maintain an acceptable level of air worthiness.
I. IMMEDIATE ACTION—There are no memory items involved with
these procedures.
When a failure occurs, the crew should assess its priority in
relationship to the immediate effect on aircraft controllability
and the continuance of the planned flight path.
Procedures that could have an immediate effect, but involve actions
that are fundamental to basic airmanship are:
• Air Data System Failures—Refer to standby instruments or
transfer control.
• Engine Vibration (Actual)—Reduce Thrust.
• Pitch Trim Runaway—Override or disconnect.
II. SPECIFIC PRIORITIES—Where there is no immediate action
required, it is advisable to complete a Normal Checklist if in progress
or due, prior to calling for the Abnormal Checklist.
Because of the interrelationship of systems, a failure in one can
have an effect on other systems.
The system that can produce multiple annunciations are (1) Engine,
(2) Electric, (3) Hydraulic and should be dealt with in priority as
numbered.
