Use of this specification by all manufacturers wil provide the pilot withthe same type of data inthe same place in all handbooks. In recent years, BEECHCRAFT handbooks contained most of the data now provided. However, the new handbooks contain more detailed data and some entirely new data, For example, attention is called to Section X (SAFETY INFORMATION). BEECHCRAFT feels that itis highly important to have Safety Information in a condensed form in the hands of the pilots. The Safety Information should be read and studied. Periodic review will serve as a reminder of good piloting techniques. WARNING Use only genuine BEECHCRAFT or BEECHCRAFT approved parts obtained from BEECHCRAFT approved ‘sources, in connection with the maintenance and repair of Beech airplanes, Genuine BEECHCRAFT parts are produced and inspected under rigorous procedures to insure airworthiness and sutabilty for use in Beech airplane applications, Parts purchased from sources other than BEECHCRAFT, even though outwardly identical in appearance, may not have had the required tests and inspections performed, may be different in fabrication techniques and materials, and may be dangerous ‘when installed in an airplane, Salvaged airplane parts, reworked parts obtained from non-BEECHCRAFT approved sources, or parts, components, or structural assemblies, the service history of which is unknown or cannot be authenticated, may have been subjected to unacceptable stresses or temperatures or have other hidden damage, not discernible through routine visual or usual nondestructive testing techniques. This may render the par, ‘component or structural assembly, even though orginally manufactured by BEECHCRAFT, unsuitable and Unsafe for airplane use, BEECHCRAFT expressly disclaims any responsibilty for malfunctions, failures, damage or injury caused by use of non-BEECHCRAFT approved parts. ‘August, 1983,SUPER KING AIR F90 PILOT'S OPERATING HANDBOOK AND FAA APPROVED AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL TABLE OF DIVISIONS SECTION .

NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERY CHECK (GROUND OPERATION ONLY) Ilumination of the BATTERY CHG annunciator indicates an above-normal charge current. Following an engine start, the battery recharge currents very high and causes the illumination of the BATTERY CHG annunciator. It should normally extinguish within five minutes. I it does not, oF if it should reappear, the battery charge current should be monitored using the procedure shown below unti it decreases toa level to extinguish the BATTERY CHG annunciator. Check the battery charge current every 90 sec- ‘onds until the charge current decreases sufficiently to extinguish the annunciator. No decrease in charging current between checks indicates an unsatisfactory condition and the battery should be removed and checked by a qualified nickel-cadmium bat- tery shop. Do not take off with the annunciator iluminated unless a decreasing battery charge current is confirmed. 1. Either Generator - OFF 2. Voltmeter - ENSURE INDICATION OF 28 VOLTS ‘3.

BATTERY CHG Annunciator - EXTINGUISHED WHEN DECREASE IN LOADMETER IS LESS THAN 2.5% COLD WEATHER PROCEDURES (SNOW, SLUSH, AND ICE) PREFLIGHT INSPECTION Verify that the tires are not frozen to the ramp, and that the brakes are free of ice contamination. Deicing or anti-icing solutions may be used on the tres and brakes if they are frozen. Solutions which contain a lubricant, such as oil, must not be used as they will decrease the effectiveness of the brakes. In addition to the normal exterior preflight inspection, special attention should be given all vents, openings, static ports, control surfaces, hinge points, the stall warning vane and the wing, tall, and fuselage surfaces for accumulations of ice or snow. Removal of these accumulations is necessary prior to takeott. Airfoil contours may be altered by the ice and snow to the extent that their lift qualities will be seriously impaired. Ice and snow on the fuselage can increase drag and weight. Frost that may form on the wing fuel tank bottom skins need not be removed prior to flight. Frost that may accumulate on other portions of the wing, the tail surfaces, or on any control surface, must be removed prior to fight. Inspect the propeller blades and hubs for ice and snow. Unless engine inlet covers have been installed during snow or icing con- ditions, the propellers should be turned by hand in the direction of normal rotation to make sure they are free to rotate prior to starting engines. The removal of frozen deposits by chipping or scraping is not recommended. A soft brush, squeegee, or mop may be used to clear snow that is not adhering to the surfaces. If use of deicing/anti-icing fluids are required to produce a clean airplane, special attention must be given to ensure that the pitot masts, static ports, fuel vents, the stall warming vane, cockpit windows and the area forward of the cookpt windows are free of the deicing/anti-icing solution. Both wings and both stabilizers must receive the ‘same complete treatment. The type and concentration of deicing/anti-icing solution being applied and the rate of precipitation will affect the length of time the treatment will be effective. Refer to Chapter 12 of the Beech King Air F90 Series Maintenance Manual and Section Vill of this manual for additional information on deicing and antiicing of airplanes on the ground. See Section I, LIMITATIONS, for a list of approved fluids. Complete the normal preflight procedures, including a check of the flight controls for complete freedom of movement. After engine start, exercise the propellers through low-and high-pitch and into reverse range to flush any congealed oil through the system lt the optional brake deicing system is installed, tum it on prio to taxi if brakes require deicing, TAXING ‘Taxiing through deep snow or slush should be avoided when possible. Snow and slush can be forced into brake assemblies which may cause the brakes to freeze during a prolonged hold on the ground or during the subsequent fight. Keep flaps retracted during taxiing to avoid throwing snow or slush into flap mechanisms and to minimize damage to flap surfaces. Glaze ice can be dificult to see. Therefore, taxi slowly and allow more clearance from objects when maneuvering the airplane. June, 2001 4aa7Raytheon Aircraft ‘Section IV - Normal Procedures Beech King Air F90 BEFORE TAKEOFF Attar completion of the normal Before Takeotf checklist, verify that the airplane is sil ree of frozen contaminants. Ensure the runway is free from hazards such as snow drifts, glazed ice, and ruts. lc, frost, or snow on top of deicing/antiicing solutions must be considered as adhering to the airplane. Takeoff should not be attempted, {the OAT is +5°C or below and visible moisture will be encountered during the takeoff, engine ice vanes must be extended to reduce the possibility of ice being ingested into the engine air inlet. TAKEOFF ‘Allow additional take-off distance when snow or slush is on the runway. Extra cycling of the landing gear when above 500 feet ‘AGL may help clear any contamination from the gear system. When using FAA Approved SAE Type Il or Type IV deicing/ant:-icing fluids in the concentrated form, the control column force required to rotate for takeott may temporafly increase approximately 20 pounds. The cruise, descent, approach and landing phases of fight are not affected by the use of these fluids. LANDING Wiis possibie thatthe brakes may be restricted by ice accumulations from previous ground or inighticing conltion, tum Hie brake deicing system (ital) on during the descent. Braking and steering are less effective on slick runways. Also, hydroplaning may occur under wet runway conditions at higher ‘speeds. Use the rudder to maintain directional control until the tires make solid contact with the runway surface Selecting reverse thrust can effectively reduce stopping distances on slick runways; however, reverse thrust may cause snow or ‘moisture to be thrown forward, temporafly reducing visibility. SHUTDOWN AND SECURING ‘Avoid setting the parking brake, if possible. This will help reduce the possibilty of freezing the brakes. Proper chocking can be used to prevent the aisplane from roling. ICING FLIGHT This airplane is approved for fligh in icing conditions as defined in FAR 25, Appendix C. These conditions do not include, nor were tests conducted in, all conditons that may be encountered (e.g., freezing rain, freezing drizzle, mixed conditions, or con tions defined as severe). Some icing conditions not defined in FAR 25 have the potential of producing hazardous ice accumula tions, which: 1) exceed the capzbilties of the airplane's ice protection equipment; and/or 2) create unacceptable airplane performance. Flight into icing conditions which lie outside the FAR-defined conditions is not prohibited; however, pilots must be prepared to divert the fight promptly i hazardous ice accumulations occur. Refer to Section I for limitations relating to icing fight, and Section lll for emergency procedures associated with icing equipment ‘malfunctions and procedures required for severe icing conditions. Due to distortion of the wing alrfol, ice accumulations on the leading edges can cause a significant loss in rate of climb and in speed performance, as well as increases in stall speed. Even after cycling deicing boots, the ice ac- ‘cumulation remaining on the boots and unprotected areas of the airplane can cause large performance losses. For the same reason, the aural stall waming system may not be accurate and should not be relied upon. Maintain a ‘comfortable margin of airspeed above the normal stall airspeed. In order to minimize ice accumulation on unpro- tected surfaces of the wing, maintain a minimum of 140 knots during operations in sustained dicing conditions. In the event of windshield icing, reduce airspeed to 226 knots or below. Prior to alanding approach, cycle the deicing boots to shed any accumuated ic. at June, 2001Raytheon Aircraft Beech King Air F90 1. Surface Deice System ‘a.

Use rudder to maintain directional control (heading) and ailerons to maintain 5* bank towards the operative engine (lateral attitude). At the first sign of either Visca or stall warning (which may be evidenced by: inability to maintain heading or lateral attitude, aerodynamic stall butet, or stall warning horn sound) immediately initiate recovery: re- duce power to idle on the operative engine and immediately lower the nose to regain Vsse. NOISE CHARACTERISTICS, ‘Approach to and departure from an airport should be made so as to avoid prolonged flight at low altitude near noise-sensitive areas. Avoidance of noise-sensiive areas, if practical, is preferable to overtght at relatively low altitudes. For VER operations over outdoor assemblies of persons, recreational and park areas, and other noise-sensitve areas, pilots ‘should make every effort to tly not less than 2000 feet above the surface, weather permitting, even though fight at a lower level may be consistent with the provisions of government regulations. NOTE “The preceding recommended procedures do not apply where they would conflict with Air Traffic Control clearances Cr instructions, or where, in the pilot's judgement, an altitude of less than 2000 feet is necessary to adequately ex- ‘ercise his duty to see and avoid other airplanes, ‘The flyover noise level established in compliance with FAR 36 is: 72.9 dB(A) No determination has been made by the Federal Aviation Administration that the noise levels of tis airplane are or should be ‘acceptable or unacceptable for operation at, into, or out of any airport.
