51. Alternate static vent positioned at: Centre case of instrument panel
53. OAT/ voltmeter gauge select switch may be tested by putting the select button down for 3 seconds
to start
55. In event of alternate static vent open, air speed indicator will give an error of 4 knots and altimeter
error will be ±30’ in closed window conditions.
56. Annunciator does not activate on: Low fuel flow and Low RPM
57. DGI should be aligned regularly on long haul flights for: Precession.
60. To permit heavy cabin loading, fuel load can be reduced to 17.5 gallons usable in each tank.
61. Aircraft tires are 6 ply rated
62. Fuel system verifying is essential to the system operation. Blockages of the system will result in
decreased fuel flow and even result in engine stoppage. Verifying is accompanied by an interconnecting
live from right to left fuel tank.
63. Fuel flow meter range is: 0 – 11 GPH. Cruising fuel flow 5.6 to 9.3 GPH depending on height, power
and OAT.
65. Nose gear: Oleo pneumatic shock strut - Air Pressure 45 psi.
67. Full Rich mixture MUST be used when operating above 80% power.
69. Examination of fuel in the system for contamination should be done after every refueling and before
first flight of the day.
