FOREWORD
SCOPE OF THE MANUAL
The Aircraft Operations Manual provides the flight crew with essential information for the safe and
efficient operation of the C-212-300 aircraft. Such information supplies an understanding of the aircraft,
its limitations, flight characteristics and procedures for both normal and emergency conditions.
Flight basics are excluded, as a skilled flight crew is assumed. The operating instructions considered
best of every circumstance are given in the Aircraft Operations Manual. However, no handbook can
replace the discretion of the pilot.
This Manual reflects a standard equipped C-212 aircraft. Inevitably differences exist between aircraft
due to individual operators specifications so the exact aircraft description and procedures may not be
described.
The Aircraft Operations Manual states only what can be normally done. Unless specifically addressed
in the Aircraft Operations Manual, no atypical configuration (such as asymmetrical loading) or operation
is permitted.
The procedures herein, just as for the rest of the Aircraft Operations Manual, have not been certified by
the aviation authorities. Although Airbus Defence and Space takes every care when preparing this
manual, the operator is responsible for adopting the Manual and its contents, and for its adaptation to
his own modus operandi where appropriate.
This manual complements the approved Airplane Flight Manual, the latter being the final authority
when discrepancies may arise between both of them.
APPLICABILITY
These documents are fully applicable to the mentioned aircraft, except for the information located
between asterisks which is only applicable to the related version.
– "For A/C with SPZ 200 A/P model": indicates that the following information has to be taken
into account only for aircraft equipped with this particular autopilot model.
Later, a further two asterisks indicate that the text is no longer restricted to a particular version and the
information is applicable once again to all C-212-300 aircraft.
REVISIONS
Documentation updating is carried-out through the following types of revisions:
– Normal revisions: periodically issued, they cover not urgent amendments, changes or
updating. They also contain instructions for their insertion into the manual, and replacements
for the List of Effective Pages.
– Temporary revisions: covering any urgent amendment, are printed on yellow paper.
They include a Transmittal Letter (also printed on yellow paper), which contains the
instructions for the insertion of the revised pages into the manual, and serves as a record
sheet of temporary revisions, for control purposes.

(C/M-3). This seat is stowed on the forward compartment bulkhead and lock into the position behind the
pedestal.
All the controls, indicators and instruments are arranged so that their access and visibility are easy and
quick for the flight crew (see Figure 1-3, Figure 1-4, Figure 1-5, Figure 1-6, Figure 1-7, Figure 1-8,
Figure 1-9, Figure 1-10, Figure 1-11 and Figure 1-12).
The faces of the instruments are black and the pointers and markings are white, so as to be easily visible
in daylight without artificial light. The limits on the instruments are red, the caution zones are yellow
(amber), and the normal operation zones are green.
The flight compartment has two windows that can be easily opened from the inside. These allow a view of
the rear fuselage.

- the cockpit
- the cabin
- the electronic equipment compartment.
In the cockpit, fresh air is supplied via two intakes located on either side of the aircraft nose. The air flows
through pipes towards the diffusers located on each outer side of the two pilot posts. The airflow is
controlled by each pilot by turning the diffuser collar and its direction is changed by turning the diffuser
body.
Cabin air is supplied via two separate subsystems: one for the LH side and another for the RH side. Each
subsystem is supplied with fresh air from the intake located on its respective side of the fuselage, and it is
routed through pipes towards the diffusers. The diffuser outlets are fitted with valves to direct and control
the flow of air.
In the radio and electronic equipment compartment, the outside air enters through an intake located on
the skin of the aircraft and it is routed through pipes using a fan towards the diffusers, cooling the
complete equipment bay. The fan is controlled using the radio compartment cooling switch located in the
overhead panel.

HEATING
Hot air required for heating is obtained through two separate units using bleed air from the second-stage
compression of the engines. This air is mixed with the air from the cabin and the resulting warm air mix is
distributed to the cabin and cockpit.
Each unit is controlled by an associated bleed valve switch located on the HEATING CONTROL panel on
the overhead panel, which controls a valve installed in the bleed outlet of each engine. The heating
provided for each pilot is controlled by a shutoff valve located in each outlet.
In the area of the bleed-air outlet, a temperature sensor is installed which turns on the related
LEFT/RIGHT WING HOT warning annunciator in the event of a bleed air leakage. This signal is also sent
(through a relay) to shut off the associated valve.

open, in accordance with the position of the valve indication selector.
This selector is spring-loaded to its center position and its extreme positions are labeled L and
R.
· L: the valve opening indicator shows the percentage that the regulator valve of the LH unit is
open.
· R: the valve opening indicator shows the percentage that the regulator valve of the RH unit is
open.
They are a three-position switches: OPEN, CLOSE and neutral (in the central position).
· OPEN: the associated valve is opened
· CLOSE: the associated valve is closed.

AIR CONDITIONING
Air conditioning is composed of two separate cooling systems.
Both air flows are interconnected through ducts to diffusers in the flight and cabin compartments.
In ventilation mode, only the evaporator module fans blow a mixture of outside and cabin air through the
ducts and out of the diffusers.
In cooled air mode, outside air is forced into condensor units where it is passed over heat-exchanger
cooling-fins. The circulating air, now cooled, is blown by fans in the condensor unit into the ducts and out
through diffusers in the flight and cabin compartments to reduce the internal temperature.

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM (AFCS)
The AFCS is a computer-controlled system to provide horizontal and vertical flight guidance modes.
These include radio guidance, RNAV tracking and air-data-controlled vertical modes. The autopilot and
flight director can be operated independently or completely coupled.
Autopilot (AP)
The AP provides automatic control of:
The AP operates three servos to position the primary flight control surfaces (refer to "FLIGHT
CONTROLS").
The AP is operated using pushbuttons and manual pitch and turn controls on the AP controller panel on
the pedestal.
- hold an attitude.
- hold a barometric altitude.
- hold a vertical speed.
- hold an indicated airspeed.
- capture and hold a preselected altitude.
- capture and follow a preselected heading.
- capture and follow a preselected course.
- capture and follow a localizer and glidescope.
- follow a go-around mode.
The FD modes of operation, except for the Go-around mode, are selected using the mode pushbuttons
of the mode controller panel on the pedestal.
The preselected altitude is selected using the SET knob of the altitude preselect controller on the
pedestal. The controller displays the selected altitude. The controller also displays vertical speed in VS
mode and airspeed in IAS mode.

AUTOPILOT
Autopilot independent operation
When the AP is engaged and no FD mode is selected, the AP operates independently. The aircraft is
commanded to fly with wings level, maintaining pitch attitude and heading.
- lateral accelerometer.
- gyroscopic compass (refer to "NAVIGATION").
- vertical gyroscopes (refer to "NAVIGATION").
The AP is engaged using the AP ENGAGE pushbutton on the AP controller panel. When engaged:
In the uncoupled mode, if the roll angle is less than 6º, the aircraft maintains its current heading and if the
roll angle is more than 6º, it will maintain its current roll attitude.
The roll attitude must be zero to engage the AP but may be changed after engagement with the TURN
knob on the AP controller or with the TCS pushbutton on the C/M-1 or C/M-2 control wheel.
The pitch attitude may be changed with the PITCH wheel on the AP controller or, the TCS pushbutton on
the C/M-1 or C/M-2 control wheel.
The yaw damper is automatically engaged when the AP is engaged. The yaw damper may be
engaged/disengaged independently from the AP.
The three servos can be disengaged simultaneously using the AP DISC pushbutton on the control wheel.
Partial disengagement is done using the AP ENGAGE pushbutton, which disengages the elevator and
aileron servos, or with the YD ENGAGE pushbutton, which disengages the rudder servo.
The servos will be disengaged automatically with any of the following actions or occurances:
When an AP failure is detected, the AP OFF annunciator, on both instrument panels, comes on. When a
yaw damper failure is detected, the YD OFF annunciator, on both instrument panels, comes on. The YD
OFF annunciator goes off when the AP DISC pushbutton, on the control wheel,s is pressed.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The Electrical system generates, controls, and distributes the DC and the AC power supplies required for
the operation of the various systems of the aircraft.
The DC is provided by two starter-generators and three batteries. The main source of power supplies are
the two generators (each driven by its respective engine) and the secondary source of power is from the
batteries.
On ground, all the systems can be supplied with electric power through an external source of DC
connected to the aircraft.
The distribution of the power generated for the various systems is through the current bus-bars.
The alternating current is generated by three inverters which give outputs of both 115 VAC and 26 VAC at
a frequency of 400 Hz.
In normal operation the inverters 1 and 2 are used, which take the power from the primary or auxiliary
bus-bar, each being connected by its respective inverter switch located in the overhead panel.
Each inverter has incorporated an overload protection circuit which, when enabled, switch on the
respective INVERTER light in the warning panel and disconnects the inverter. In this condition, the
stand-by inverter can take the place of the failed one through the auxiliary inverter control switch and the
bus-bar selector located in the overhead panel.
The voltage of either the 115 VAC 1 or the 115 VAC 2 bus-bar can be displayed in the cockpit by a
voltmeter located on the central instrument panel. Selection for display is by a 115 VAC BUS 1/BUS 2
selector switch, below the voltmeter.
Distribution
The electrical system uses the bus-bars for distributing power to the various systems and equipment.
The bus-bars are as follows:

A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
The three inverter control switches, No. 1, No. 2 and AUX INV control, independently control
the respective inverter. Each inverter produces 26V AC 400Hz and 115V AC 400 Hz.
The AUX INV AC BUS SEL switch is used to connect the auxiliary inverter AC outputs to the
AC busses of the failed inverter No. 1 or No. 2.
(3) AC Voltmeter:
The AC voltmeter is calibrated from zero to 150 V AC. The meter shows the AC voltage on the
selected 115 V AC 400 Hz bus.
Each inverter warning light, INVERTER NO. 1, INVERTER NO. 2 and AUX INVERTER is
enabled when the associated inverter is switched on. A warning light comes on for an
associated inverter failure. The warning light goes off when the failed inverter is switched
off.

Two starter-generators, one installed on each propeller gearbox, supply the power required for the
bus-bars through the MASTER SWITCH and their respective generator switch located on the overhead
panel. Each starter-generator has two functions; first it is used as the engine starter motor engine, using
power supply from the batteries or from an external source, and then, when the engines are operating, it
generates current for a maximum of 300 A, 28 VDC.
The power output from each generator is controlled by a Generator Control Unit (GCU) which performs
the following functions:
The protection from voltage surge and grounding failures can be simulated by the generator test
switches in the overhead panel.
Also, the line connecting the generator to its bus-bar is protected by an overload sensor which
disconnects the line in case of an excess current or surge.
If any of the protection is enabled, the respective generator is disconnected from its bus-bar, and the
correseponding GENERATOR LEFT/RIGHT warning annunciator comes on.
The current output indication for each generator is displayed in the cockpit by two ammeters located in
the central instrument panel.
The voltage is shown on a voltmeter in the central instrument panel, and controlled through a DC voltage
selector located below the voltmeter.
Three Nickel-Cadmium batteries are installed. Two 24 V-40 Amp/h for the primary use, and a 24 V-7
Amp/h for auxiliary use. These provide (in case of no external GPU source available) supply power for
the systems on the ground and the required power in order to start the engines.
The batteries, located in the LH main landing gear fairing are connected to bus-bars (Battery No.1 to the
essential bus-bar No. 2, Battery No. 2 to the starting bus-bar, and Battery No. 3 to the auxiliary bus-bar)
through the MASTER SWITCH and its respective battery switch, located in the overhead panel.
The main batteries can be connected, in order to energize the starting bus-bar, in parallel or in series, by
means of a SERies/PaRaLlel connecting switch located in the overhead panel.
NOTE
Starting using batteries in series is recommended for
the first starting of each day only, and/or when the
engine oil temperature is below 5°C.
1-55
A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
The auxiliary battery function is to supply a constant voltage current to the temperature and starting
indication system, connected to the auxiliary bus-bar, which are critical during the starting cycle. The
constant voltage is protected by a power diode which connects together the auxiliary and the essential
No. 2 bus-bars. This diode prevents the auxiliary battery being connected to the essential bus-bar when
its voltage is lower than the auxiliary bus-bar, as a result from its discharge during starting.
The connections between the batteries and the bus-bars are protected by fuses in the case of a circuit
overload or electric leakage in any of them.
Each battery is fitted with a temperature probe which switches on the respective BAT TEMP light in the
warning panel when the battery temperature reaches 54ºC. If a battery reaches 66ºC, then the BATTERY
OVERTEMP light comes on in the warning panel.
A GPU switch, on the overhead panel, is selected to the GPU position, to connect the GPU power to the
system.
Disconnection of the batteries from the bus-bar is automatically done when the GPU is operating.
Distribution
The electrical system uses the bus-bars for distributing power to the various systems and equipment.
The bus-bars are as follows:
- Essential No. 1.
- Essential No. 2.
- Primary or auxiliary.
- Secondary.
- Starting.
All of the DC bus-bars are connected together by fuses or switches to assure a common voltage in all DC
busses.
The two essential bus-bars are connected together by fuses for protection in case of overload in one of
them.
The essential bus-bar No. 2 and the secondary bus-bar are connected together by a BUS TIED switch, in
the overhead panel.
The essential bus-bar No. 2 is connected to the auxiliary bus-bar through a power diode to prevent
current flow from the auxiliary bus-bar to the essential bus-bar.
The starting bus-bar has the capability of supplying 24 VDC or 48 VDC for starting the engines. This is
done by a series or parallel connection of the batteries. This connection is controlled through the
SERies/PaRaLlel connection switch located in the overhead panel, it also controls the direct connection
of the starting bus-bar to the essential bus-bar No. 2.

The two position MASTER SWITCH OFF/ON is located on the overhead panel lower central
section. If ON batteries and generators can be connected to their related bus-bars. If OFF, all
of them are disconnected.
(2) BAT NO. 1, 2, 3 switches:
The SERIE-PARALLEL switch has two positions, 24 VDC (parallel) and 48 VDC (series). This
switch is used if the batteries are to be used to start the engines. The 24 VDC or 48 VDC
position can be selected. The 48 VDC position should be used if the oil temperature is less than
5°C, or it is the first start of the day. The batteries should not be used to start the engines if the
outside temperature is less than -10°C.
When the 48 V position is selected the batteries are connected in series to the start bus, this
happens automatically during engine start at 0% RPM and remains in series until 60% RPM.
The batteries then automatically go back to normal (parallel).
(4) BUS TIED switch:
The BUS TIED switch has two positions: NORMAL and EMERG. In the NORMAL position the
secondary bus is connected to the essential bus. Under emergency conditions, the C/M's can
select the EMERG position to disconnect the essential bus from the secondary bus.
(5) LEFT/RIGHT GEN. switches:
Each generator, LEFT GEN. and RIGHT GEN., has a RESET/OFF/ON generator control
switch:
- The ON position switches on the associated generator and switches off the
associated generator warning light. The generator DC output is connected to the
essential bus.
- The RESET position is used before a generator is started to establish the generator
operating conditions.
(6) RADIO MASTER SWITCH:
The RADIO MASTER SWITCH controls the secondary and essential bus connections to the
radio secondary and radio essential busses, respectively.
(7) GPU switch:
The GPU switch is a two-position switch, GPU and OFF. In the GPU position (with the EXT
POWER light on), the GPU power is connected to the essential bus and the batteries are
disconnected.
1-58
A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
The EXT. POWER light comes on when a GPU is connected to the aircraft.
(9) GENERATOR LEFT/RIGHT lights (red):
The respective warning light comes on when the associated generator is off.
(10) DC ammeters:
The DC ammeters are calibrated from zero to 350 Amps. The ammeters show the current from
the LH and RH generators.
(11) DC voltmeter:
The DC voltmeter is calibrated from zero to 35 VDC. The voltmeter shows the voltage selected
with the DC voltage selector.
The DC voltage selector has three positions, L GEN, ESS BUS and R GEN. The selected
position connects the DC voltage of, the LH generator or, essential bus or, the RH generator, to
the DC voltmeter.
(13) L/R GEN TEST switches:
The L and R GEN TEST switches simulate an overvoltage, OVER VOLT position, or a ground
fault, FAULT position. When either are simulated the respective generator is disconnected
fromthe DC bus-bar and the corresponding GEN warning annunciator comes on.
There are two GND OPERATION GEN TO SEC BUS switches: L and R. In the event of a
generator output overload, during a ground engine start, the generator output is connected to
the essential bus-bar No. 1. The generator can only be reconnected to the secondary bus-bar
by operating the respective GND OPERATION GEN TO SEC BUS switch.
The BAT NO. 1 TEMP or BAT NO. 2 TEMP caution lights come on when the respective battery
(battery number 1 or battery number 2) temperature reaches 54ºC.
The BAT NO. 3 TEMP caution light comes on when the auxiliary battery temperature reaches
54ºC.
The BATTERY OVERTEMP warning light comes on when the temperature of one battery
reaches 66ºC. The associated BAT NO. # TEMP light will also be on, and the overtemperature
battery must be disconnected.

PORTABLE EXTINGUISHERS
In order to operate fire protection equipment inside the aircraft, two fire extinguishers are located in the
cockpit (on the bulkhead behind the C/M-2 post), and in the rear section of cabin (next to the emergency
exit door) respectively.
The fire extinguisher in the cockpit is filled with Bromo-chlor-di-fluor-methane (BCF). This fire
extinguisher is used preferably on class B (flammable liquids) and class C (electrical) fires, but it can
also be used if required on ordinary fires. Nevertheless, it cannot be used on class D (metallic) fires.
The fire extinguisher in the cabin is filled with water. This fire extinguisher is used on class A (ordinary)
fires and cannot be used on class C (electrical) fires.
Each fire extinguisher is fastened to the wall by means of a flange with a quick-release fastener. These
fire extinguishers are operated by means of a trigger on their handle allowing them to be operated with
only one hand.
When pressed against the handle, allows the extinguishant to exit through the nozzle.

OXYGEN SYSTEM
The oxygen system is comprised of two different installations: a fixed installation for supplying oxygen to
the flight crew, and a portable installation to be used in emergencies.
They are controlled via oxygen levers located on the LH console, and they supply oxygen only to those
masks which are connected to the outlets. The left lever controls the cockpit outlets and the right lever
controls the cabin outlets. A green light located on the C/M-1 console indicates that the pressure of the
supply to the cabin is appropriate.
The pressure in the cylinder must be between 200 psig minimum and 1850 psi maximum. This
information is provided to crew members by a pressure gauge installed on the C/M-1 console. If the
cylinder pressure suddenly increases due to an increase in temperature, a safety mechanism in the
cylinder comprising of a rupture disk will cause the disk to break and discharge oxygen to the outside
through a discharge indicator located on the exterior of the LH fuselage. The oxygen discharged through
this indicator will break a green plate, and the indicator will then display red, therefore indicating that the
cylinder is empty. The cylinder is refilled through the charging valve located on the side of the discharge
indicator.
Hanging on the wall next to each crew member is an easily accessible oxygen mask operated on demand
with an integrated microphone. Furthermore, each mask is fitted with a dilution regulator with a
two-position lever, labeled NORMAL and 100% OXY.
System endurance depends on the number of masks connected and the positions selected on the
control lever on each mask.

FIRE PROTECTION
INTRODUCTION
The function of the Fire Protection system is to detect and solve any fire or overheating that may occur in
the area of the aircraft engines and leading edges.
The Fire Protection system architecture is shown in Figure 1-32 and Figure 1-33.
- Detection:

The function of the Fire Detectors is to detect that an overheating or fire situation has occurred and to
enable the warning circuits.
The Fire Detector is installed around the engine forward of the fire wall. One is installed around each
engine.
The function of the Control Unit is to control the operation of the warning annunciators of the system. One
control unit is installed for each of the Fire Detectors.
OPERATION
The operation of the system is shown in Figure 1-32 and Figure 1-33.
The resistance of the Overtemperature Sensors change with a change of the temperature around them.
As the temperature increases the resistance decreases. The output from the loop is monitored in the
control unit and at a given value the control unit enables the warning lights and annunciators. A "Master"
and "Fire Bell" audio warning is given in the cockpit.
The engine fire lights are located in the glareshield. Each comes on whenever its associated
engine shows conditions of fire or overheating.

The primary component of the system are the two leading edge temperature sensors.
OPERATION
The temperature sensors installed in the leading edge of the wings measure the temperature on the
leading edges. When an overtemperature occurs a signal is sent by the sensors and the corresponding
WING HOT light comes on. A supply is also sent to close automatically the bleed air valve of the
applicable engine-bleed-air system. A "master" audio warning is given in the cockpit.
They come on whenever the associated wing has been overheated by the engine bleed air.

A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
The primary components of the system are two Fire Extinguisher bottles. The system also uses two
shuttle valves and a system of diffusers in the engine bays.
The function of the Fire Extinguisher bottles is to store the extinguishing agent and to cause it to be
discharged when required.
Each bottle has two explosive cartridges installed in the outlet if the bottle, each one being enabled
through its associated discharge pushbutton, located in the glareshield. When the pushbutton is
pressed, the cartridge is fired and it breaks a diaphragm and atomizes the fire extinguishing liquid, under
pressure, on the engine affected. When the diaphragm is ruptured, a spindle closes a circuit enabling the
associated light located in the glareshield indicating empty fire extinguisher.
One cartridge will cause the bottle to be discharged in the RH engine bay, the other will cause discharge
into the LH engine bay.
A GREEN disc shows the bottle is charged and a RED indication shows the bottle is discharged due to an
overpressurization. The indicators can be seen externally to the aircraft.
There is a crossfeed pipe which, by means of the shuttle valves, prevents the extinguishing agent from
being discharged, in the right sequence, into the wrong engine bay.
The bottles are installed in the engine nacelle behind the firewall in the center wing section of the
aircraft.
OPERATION
The operation of the system is shown in Figure 1-32 and Figure 1-33.
NOTE
The operation given here is for the LEFT engine. The
operation for the RIGHT engine is identical except the
RH lights, annunciators and pushbuttons are used.
After stopping the engine, the pilot proceeds to make the extinguishing, the pilot pushes the
DISCHARGE No. 1 pushbutton and a signal is sent to detonate the LEFT cartridge on the LEFT bottle.
The bottle discharges its extinguishing agent through the shuttle valve and diffusers into the LH engine
area. The shuttle valve is forced into a position to stop the extinguishing agent from going to the RIGHT
bottle. As the fire is extinguished the temperature being monitored by the control panel reduces and, at a
given value, the electrical signal disappears and the lights will go off. If the fire is not extinguished the
warnings will remain on and the DISCHARGE No. 2 pushbutton must be pushed. In the second
discharge, it is used the bottle of the opposite engine through the crossfeed pipe and the shuttle valve.
The same actions take place. The shuttle valve is forced in the opposite direction and prevents the
extinguishing agent from entering the, now unpressurized, LEFT bottle.
As a bottle is discharged the transition of the extinguishing agent through the shuttle valve causes a
switch in the bottle to be made and this gives a ground to the applicable EXT'R EMPTY light which comes
on.
1-78
A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
Each light comes on whenever its associated engine shows conditions of fire or
overheating.
(2) DISCHARGE No. 1 and DISCHARGE No. 2 pushbuttons (LEFT/RIGHT ENGINE FIRE):
The four discharge pushbuttons are protected under guard. When pushed, the pushbutton
fires its associated cartridge installed in one of the outlets of the fire extinguisher bottles.
The function of these lights is to indicate to the crew that the applicable extinguisher bottle has
been used and it is empty.
This switch is spring-loaded to its center position. Its function is to enable the control unit to do
a test of the system. If the system is operative, the associated engine FIRE light comes on.

FLIGHT CONTROLS
FLIGHT CONTROLS
The maneuverability of the aircraft about its three flight axes is controlled using its primary flight controls
which operate on:
- Ailerons.
- Elevator.
- Rudder.
The primary control surfaces are mechanically operated, and the flaps are mechanically selected and
hydraulically driven.
In order to prevent abrupt control surface movements on the ground due to wind gusts, the primary
controls can be blocked in the neutral position by means of a gust-lock system.

1-81
A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
ROLL CONTROL
Roll is controlled by means of two control wheels which transmit their movement via cables and rods to
the ailerons.
Motion is transmitted to the ailerons using cables and bars, by means of two yokes, for C/M-1 and C/M-2.
Yokes are mechanically interconnected with rods and a synchronization bar, producing a duplicated
cable simple that ends at both aileron drive shafts using several pulleys. This duplicity allows pilots to
have roll control if the opposite set of cables fails.
To trim the controls, the LH aileron incorporates a mechanically operated trim-tab on its trailing edge,
operated using the aileron trim wheel at the rear of the pedestal. The trim value is set by turning the
elevator trim wheels until the desired position is indicated on the scale.
During operations with the AP, the ailerons are actuated by a servomotor which receives signals from the
AP computer.

YAW CONTROL
Yaw is controlled by means of two interconnected foot pedal assemblies. The pedals transmit their
movement via cables and rods to the rudder. This rudder is articulated on the vertical stabilizer.
In order to decrease the forces transmitted to the pedals, the upper trailing edge of the rudder
incorporates a servo-tab which is mechanically actuated by the deflection of the rudder itself.
On the lower trailing edge of the rudder, there is a mechanically operated trim tab controlled by the rudder
trim wheel, located on top of the pedestal. The trim value is set by turning the rudder trim wheel until the
desired position is indicated on the scale.
The position of the foot pedals with respect to the pilot can be adjusted using the pedal adjustment
control located on the centerline of each foot pedal assembly.
During operations with the AP, the rudder is actuated by a servomotor which receives signals from the
AP computer.

PITCH CONTROL
Pitch is controlled with two elevators, each mounted on their corresponding horizontal stabilizer.
Motion is transmitted to the elevators by means of cables, bars and two control columns. These columns
are mechanically interconnected through rods and a synchronization bar, allowing synchronized
movement of both elevators by either pilot, activating a duplicated cable system. The left cable system
runs from the left column to the left elevator and the right cable system runs from the right column to the
right elevator. This duplicity enables any pilot to have pitch control if the opposite set of cable fails.
In order to decrease the forces transmitted to the control columns, each elevator surface incorporates on
its trailing edge a mechanical servo-tab actuated by the deflection of the surface itself.
In order to trim the control correctly, each surface incorporates a mechanically actuated trim tab
controlled by the two elevator trim wheels, located on each side of pedestal. The trim value is set by
turning the elevator trim wheels until the desired position is indicated on the scale.
During operations with the AP, the elevators and their trim tabs are actuated by their respective
servomotors which receive signals from the AP computer.

FLAPS SYSTEM
The aircraft wings are equipped with four symmetrical flaps. The extension or retraction of the flaps is
selected mechanically by means of the flaps lever which actuates the selector valve. This valve, in
accordance with the position selected, supplies hydraulic pressure towards the upper or lower part of the
actuator, and this actuator, using rods and bell-crank levers, retracts or extends the flaps. The system is
protected against sudden increases in hydraulic pressure by a pressure-limiting valve and is protected
against overtemperature by a thermal relief valve.
The flap deflection angle is displayed in the cockpit on a flaps position indicator, located on the central
instrument panel. It receives its signal from a sensor and position transmitter located in the LH wing.

GUST LOCK
This system has the function of locking the primary controls in order to prevent abrupt movements on the
ground due to wind gusts. The controls are locked by mechanisms that lock the connecting rods in their
center position. These mechanisms are mechanically operated by means of a gust lock lever located on
the pedestal.
To operate this lever, all of the primary controls must be set to their center position. Then to
lock, the lever is raised, engaging the locks in their housings. Unlocking is performed by first
pulling out the lever in order to release its retaining latch, and then by lowering it down forward
again to its rest position.

FUEL SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The aircraft fuel system stores the fuel and supplies it to the engines at the required flow and
pressure.
- the tanks.
- the fuel transfer.
- the fuel distribution.
- the fuel quantity indication.
Two separate and identical subsystems, one in each wing, supply fuel for its respective engine through a
mechanically operated shutoff valve located behind the firewall and an electrically operated valve
located in front of the firewall. The fuel is normally supplied to each engine from its respective subsystem.
A cross-feed pipe allows feeding fuel to both engines from either subsystem.
The fuel is contained in six tanks, each subsystem has two wing tanks (designated as outboard and
inboard) which are integrated in their respective outboard wing and one underwing tank (see Figure
1-47). Submerged pumps in each subsystem (in each inboard tank) supply fuel under pressure for the
respective engines. A ventilation system prevents pressure differentials between tanks and the
exterior.

FUEL TANKS
The wing fuel tanks of each subsystem are located in each outboard wing, and are integrated in the wing
between the front and rear spars. The installations within each wing (subsystem) include one outboard
tank and one inboard tank (see Figure 1-47) and inside the latter there is installed a semisealed
collector box. The inboard tanks are provided with holed bulkheads in order to prevent fuel slashings.
An underwing fuel tank, fitted to a wing mounted pylon under each wing, permits to increase flight
duration. Each tank is a cylindrical container with interior splash bulkheads which have flanged holes to
allow the passage of fuel.
Values quoted in the chart are gravity refueling values. Fuel weight are based on a value of 6.5
lb/U.S.Gallons of JP-4 fuel at a temperature of 25ºC.
Each subsystem has a ventilation system which allows the entrance of air in order to replace fuel at the
same time as it is transferred or used (in all operation phases on ground or in flight).
The ventilation through each subsystem includes one fiberglass tank located on top of the inboard tank
which is ventilated through a vent outlet located under the wing. The tank is connected to a vent pipe
extending throughout the tanks installation (see Figure 1-47). The pipe is shut in one end and is
provided with four float valves, one for each float valve attached to the pipe (two in each inboard tank and
two in each outboard tank). The float valves are shut or open in accordance with the fuel level but
allowing the entrance of outside air to replace the fuel consumed.
Each underwing tank is connected through a ventilation pipe with the corresponding outboard tank.
Overpressure within the wing tanks of each subsystem is controlled using a safety valve located in the
vent tank and a safety valve (relief valve) located in the inboard tank, under the wing. In case of
overpressure, the safety valve in the vent tank opens and the air/fumes/fuel is expelled out through the
vent outlet. In case the safety valve fails and the pressure differential exceeds a predetermined value,
then the safety valve (relief valve) located within the tank opens and expels the fuel to the exterior.
Each tank is fitted with a drain valve under the tank. The fuel contamination inspections and sampling are
done by pushing a container into the drain valve. The valve closes automatically when the container is
removed. For tank dumping, the drain valve must be pushed fully by using a special drain adaptor which
is to be turned by 90º. In this position, the valve remains fully open and is maintained in this position by
the use of the drain adaptor.

FUEL TRANSFER
Each underwing tank is fitted with a fuel pump which supplies fuel direct to the wing tanks. The normal
fuel transfer sequence in each subsystem is from the outboard tank to the inboard tank, and from the
inboard tank to the collector. Each collector houses two booster pumps (submerged) which supply fuel
under pressure for the engine.
Part of the fuel under pressure goes through a check valve and a filter feeding three separate ejector
pumps which operate by the venturi effect. These ejector pumps perform the automatic fuel transfer.
One jet pump transfers fuel from the outboard tank into the inboard tank. The transfer is performed at a
level above the fuel in the inboard tank, in order to prevent the fuel return. The other two ejector pumps
transfer fuel from the inboard tank to the collector. The ejector pump in the outboard tank operates in
order to replace the fuel transferred from the inboard tank into the collector being supplied to the
engine.
An abnormal transfer is done when the ejector pumps do not operate, like in the case that the engine is
operated with the booster-pumps disconnected or the filter, in the wing leading edge, is clogged. In such
cases the engine is maintained in operation, since two flaper valves, located respectively in the bottom of
the partition between the outboard/inboard tanks and between inboard/collector, let the fuel flow towards
the duct feeding the engine from the collector. This gravity fuel transfer makes the fuel level decrease
simultaneously in outboard, inboard and collector tanks.
FUEL DISTRIBUTION
The electric booster pumps (submerged) supply fuel under pressure for the associated engine. One of
them operates continuously during normal operation of the engine, while the other is kept on stand-by for
an emergency, in which case it is connected, as well as the normal pump during takeoff and landing (for
safety in view of a possible failure).
Each pump is electrically operated from its associated FUEL BOOSTER PUMP switch located on the
overhead panel labeled NORM and AUX.
The fuel from the booster pumps goes through the check valves and together with a safety valve towards
the firewall. Before reaching the firewall, the supply duct is fitted with one shutoff valve. The mechanical
shutoff valve which is normally open and is mechanically operated by means of a lever for emergency
shutoff. An electrical shutoff valve is installed downstream of the mechanical valve and is electrically
operated through the FUEL switch on the overhead panel. Upon its passage through the shutoff valves
the fuel goes through the group of the engine fuel pumps.
A pressure switch in each subsystem illuminates the associated FUEL PRESSURE ENGINE warning
light, located in the warning panel, when the pressure falls.
When the submerged fuel pumps are disconnected, the engine remains in operation, but the fuel is
supplied at low pressure.
Fuel Crossfeed
The two fuel subsystems are interconnected by means of an fuel cross-feed pipe, fitted with a fuel
cross-feed valve. This cross-feed pipe allows the feeding of fuel for both engines from either subsystem,
pressure refueling, pressure defueling and wings fuel transfer for all tanks, from a single point.
The fuel cross-feed valve is normally shut, and is electrically controlled by means of a FUEL FEEDING
switch located in the overhead panel. The valve opens when the FUEL FEEDING switch is selected in
the XFEED position. When the valve is fully open, the green FUEL FEEDING light comes on. If due to
whatever reason the cross-feed valve should not reach the fully open position, then the caution light
FUEL XFEED VALVE, located in the warning lights panel, comes on.

A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
Refueling
The aircraft can be refueled by gravity or by pressure. The gravity refueling is done tank by tank through a
filler cap located near to the highest part of each tank (on top of the wing for the wing tanks).
The inboard tanks must be filled before the outboard tanks, in order to prevent any uneven load of fuel
being distributed on the landing gear so causing an inclination of wings. An anti-static ground connection
must be installed before refueling is started. Crew members are responsible for checking final fuel level
and that filler caps are in place.
Gravity overwing refueling is conventional through a filler cap for each tank.
On some aircraft versions, pressure refueling of inboard tanks is only made from a single point located in
the RH wing leading edge, between engine and fuselage. Fuel supply pressure required in 50±5 psi.
Full inboard tank refueling takes approximately 8 minutes.
The aircraft must be powered for overfilling warning purposes and the cross-feed valve opened to enable
fuel flow to the left inboard tank. Once tanks are full, two shutoff valves automatically close to stop
refueling. Additionally, two red press-to-test overfill warning lights located on the pressure refueling
panel come on to indicate that fuel level is reaching maximum capacity. This automatic shutoff function
can be verified before hand by means of a pre-check system which includes two float valves (one for
each tank) and a small pilot tank. By pulling the circular push-pull handles located on the single point
pressure refueling panel, valves open allowing fuel to enter the pilot tank at a faster rate than it can drain.
The float valve closes simulating full inboard tanks within approximately 30 seconds. At that moment fuel
supply should automatically cease and the press-to-test overfill warning lights come on. When the
circular handles are reset, refueling will continue as the pilot tank empties and the float valve opens.

The subsystem sensor in each wing consists of five capacitance gages; two located in each outboard
tank, two in each inboard tank and one in in the colector tank. The variable height and depth of the fuel in
the tank changes the capacitance of the gage. This changing capacitance produces an electrical signal
proportional to the fuel level in the tank in turn establishes the fuel quantity indication. Each group of
capacitance gages send their signals to a conditioning unit for display on an indicator located in the
central instrument panel.
Each indicator displays the fuel quantity, in pounds, in accordance with the position of the FUEL QTY IND
selector.
The fuel low level warning system is enabled from a min level switch located in the collector. When the
fuel level decreases down to about 120 pounds, the associated caution light FUEL LEVEL LEFT/RIGHT
TANK comes on. This light also comes on when there is an abnormal transfer (gravity transfer), because
the level decreases simultaneously in the three wing tanks and the collector is not fully filled.
Each wing subsystem (L TANK and R TANK) is fitted with a fuel quantity indicator. The
indicator is gauged from zero to 2000 pounds, with its dial marked in 100 pounds increments.
The indicator can display the fuel quantity of the inboard tank, the outboard tank or both tanks
together, in accordance with the position of the FUEL QTY IND selector.
(2) FUEL QTY IND selector:
Each wing subsystem is fitted with a wing fuel tank indicaton selector. It is a three-position
switch, labeled OUT, INB and SUM. In the OUT position the associated fuel indicator displays
the fuel quantity existing in the outboard tank. In its INB position the fuel quantity in the inboard
tank is displayed. In its SUM position the total fuel quantity existing in both tanks is displayed.
Each wing subsystem is fitted with a digital fuel totalizer. The indicator displays the fuel
quantity, expressed in pounds, consumed by the respetive engine. The signal is originated in a
flowmeter installed in the engine. Its accuracy in cruise is 0.5%. The indicator can be zeroed by
raising a protection rod and pressing a reset pushbutton.
(4) FUEL FLOW indicators:
Each engine is fitted with a FUEL FLOW indicator. The instrument markings are in lbs/hr.
Markings range from 0 to 600 in increments of 10 lbs/hr with a green arc between 0 and 547
lbs/hr. Markings are numbered each 100 lbs/hr. The gauge receives its signal from an
engine-mounted fuel flow transmitter and a frequency converter.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The hydraulic system provides the power required in order to actuate the following subsystems:
In order to move the actuators associated in the above subsystems, the hydraulic system is fitted with a
pump driven by an electric motor. The pump is fed with hydraulic fluid from a reservoir and delivers it to
the actuators at nominal pressure 2000 psi. The fluid returns to the reservoir at low pressure, to complete
the closed circuit.
The reservoir, the pump and the module which contains the filters, valves and the refilling connection, are
located below the fairing of RH main landing gear. In case of failure of the electrical pump, the system
can be operated by a manual hand pump located in cockpit on the RH of the C/M-2 to supply pressure to
the system.

A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
RESERVOIRS
The hydraulic fluid for the system is stored in a 7, 8 liter capacity tank. The level of the hydraulic fluid can
be checked through a glass window with two reference markings FULL and REFILL.
In order to verify the levels there is previously to discharge the three accumulators.
The reservoir is fitted with varied connections for refill, ventilation, return from systems, and feeding to
pumps.
The system is protected against overpressure loads by means of a safety valve installed between the
pressure line and the return line. The valve operates at a pressure of 2350 psi.
The system is also provided with a pressure sensor, installed in the pressure line, which sends its signals
to an hydraulic pressure indicator located on the central instrument panel.
It is a two-position switch labeled ON and OFF. In the ON position the motor that drives the
pump is energized and the pump supplies pressure for the system.
(2) HYD PUMP light (green):
The HYD PUMP light is located above the HYD PUMP switch. It is a push-to-test- type. The
light comes on when the HYD PUMP switch is selected to its ON position.
(3) Manual hand pump lever:
The manual hand pump lever, in the front C/M-2 console, manually operates the hydraulic
hand pump. Each lever stroke (both upwards or downwards) generates hydraulic pressure.
(4) Hydraulic pressure indicator:
The hydraulic pressure indicator indicates the pressure in the supply line to the sub-systems.
The indicator scale is zero to 4000 psi, and is marked in 200 psi increments. The green arc is
from 1850 to 2050 psi. A radial red line marks the 2720 psi value.

The primary components of the system are seven pneumatically inflatable boots moulded to the leading
edges of the wings and tailplane. Two boots are installed on each wing leading edge and one boot to
each of the tail plane leading edge and the vertical stabilizer.
The system also uses hot air from the bleed air system which is passed through a system of pipes and
control valves to the boots.
OPERATION
Two identical systems of pipes and control valves are installed for the system. One from each of the
engines. They are interconnected and the failure of one engine will not affect the operation of the
system.
There are two modes of operation of the system. The first is for light icing of the surfaces and the second
is for heavy icing. The modes are controlled by the WING & TAIL D-ICE mode selector which controls
the timer of the system. The only difference in the modes is this timing of the systems operation cycle.
When the WING & TAIL DE-ICE VALVES HEAT switch is set to the ON position, the VALVES HEAT light
is illuminated and the system starts to operate.
The timer of the system controls the operation of the control valves which control the flow of bleed air to
the boots. The control valves are opened in the sequence INNER WING, OUTER WING and TAIL
boots.
Hot air from the bleed air system is passed through non-return valves and flow restrictors to the
system.
The timer opens the control valves in the correct sequence and the boots are inflated which causes the
ice to break and be removed from the surfaces.
At the end of the sequence the operation is repeated until the WING & TAIL DE-ICE mode selector is
pushed to the off position.
The bled air pressure supplied to the boots is permanently displayed in a DE-ICING PRESSURE
indicator located on the central instrument panel.

OPERATION
The operation of the system is described in two parts. These are:
- Windshield Anti-Ice.
- Windshield Wipers.
Windshield Anti-Ice:
The windshields are protected from accumulation of ice deposits by means of an electrical heating
system including several resistors (windshield heaters), regulators and temperature sensors.
Each windshield is fitted with its own temperature regulator which is enabled by its WINDSHIELD HEAT
switch that automatically connects and disconnects heating, in accordance to the signal received from its
sensor (these maintain the temperature level between 25ºC and 35ºC).
If a windshield system fails and the temperature exceed of 65ºC, the regulator associated to the other
windshield system automatically controls the heating for both windshields in accordance to the signals
from its sensor. Simultaneously the associated caution WINDSHIELD HEAT light comes on.
Windshield Wipers:
Two wipers, one for each main windshield, clear the windshields of precipitation during takeoff, landing or
slow flight to ensure unobstructed forward vision. Both windshield wipers are jointly driven by an electric
motor controlled by the WINDSHIELD WIPER selector. The water/alcohol dispenser is controlled by the
WINDSHIELD SPRAY pushbutton.
CAUTION

A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
Each WINDSHIELD HEAT switch is a two-position switch, labeled ON and OFF. In the ON
position enables its associated windshield heating system.
Each light on indicates a failure in its associated windshield heating circuit and the temperature
in the associated windshield has reached 65ºC.
The selector is a four-position selector, labeled OFF, PARK, LOW and HIGH:
- In the OFF position the system removes the power from the wipers.
- In the HIGH position the system energizes and the windshield wiper blades operates
on 160 sweeps per minute.
- In the LOW position the speed is decreased down to 120 sweeps per minute.
- In the PARK position, the windshield wipers blades stay in a vertical position in order
to prevent any interference with vision.

The leading edges of propeller blade roots are covered with a de-icing surface. Each de-icing surface
includes an electrical resistor covered by a fabric and rubber compound which also protects the blade
from erosion and oil leakages.
OPERATION
These electrical resistors are connected, in pairs and in parallel, to the distribution rings so that each pair
of opposing blades is being simultaneously heated. The heating for each propeller in controlled by an
electrical control unit which distributes the current supplies and regulates the heating intervals (see
Figure 1-60).
Each system is controlled via the PROPELLER DE-ICE switches which, when selected to ON allow the
current passage so energizing a relay that closes and in turn energizes the electrical control unit.
The current supplied to each electrical control unit and to the de-icing surfaces can be shown on an
ammeter located in the overhead panel. The selection to be shown is controlled from the AMM SEL
switch.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
The function of the Flight Instruments System is to provide the flight crew with data required to fly the
aircraft. In this section the following components are described:
- Pitot-Static System
- Airspeed Indicator
- Altimeters
- Vertical Speed Indicator
- Outside Air Temperature Indicator
- Turn Indicator
- Accelerometer
- Standby Compass
- Clock.
PITOT-STATIC SYSTEM
The function of the pitot-static system is to provide pitot and static air for the use of the following
instruments:
- Airspeed indicators.
- Altimeters.
- Vertical speed indicators.
There are two separate pitot static systems, composed of a pitot probe and a static vent. The pitot probe
is located on the respective C/M side of the aircraft nose. The static vent is located on the opposite side of
the aircraft nose. Two alternative static vents are located on each side of the aircraft nose, providing a
common source of static pressure for one or both systems, in the event of an emergency.
The LH pitot probe No.1 provides total pressure for the C/M-1 airspeed indicator. A static vent, on the RH
side of the aircraft nose, is interconnected to pitot probe No.1 to provide static pressure for the C/M-1
airspeed indicator, altimeter and vertical speed indicator.
The RH pitot probe No.2 provides total pressure for the C/M-2 airspeed indicator, the overspeed warning
sensor and the AP/FD air data sensor. A static vent, on the LH side of the aircraft nose, is interconnected
to pitot probe No.2 to provide static pressure for the C/M-2 airspeed indicator, altimeter and vertical
speed indicator, as well as for the overspeed warning sensor and the AP/FD air data sensor.
The two alternative (emergency) static vents are interconnected. A static pressure selector is located on
the C/M-1 and C/M-2 side consoles for connection of each pitot-static system to the associated
NORMAL or EMERG static vent.
Each pitot probe is equipped with an electric heater to prevent ice formation (refer to ICE AND RAIN
PROTECTION).

AIRSPEED INDICATOR
The airspeed indicator uses differential pressure to calculate and display the aircraft indicated airspeed
in knots (KIAS).
There are two airspeed indicators: one on the LH (C/M-1) instrument panel and one on the RH (C/M-2)
instrument panel.
An overspeed warning system warns the flight crew when an overspeed condition is detected. It is
composed of an overspeed sensor on the nose of the aircraft, a warning light on the warning panel and an
overspeed warning horn on the bulkhead behind the C/M-2 post. The sensor is supplied with pitot and
static pressures from the RH pitot-static system. When the aircraft speed exceeds 200 knots, and aural
and visual warnings are triggered.
The system can be tested using an overspeed test switch located on the TEST panel on the overhead
panel.
The dial is marked from 0 to 270 knots, in increments of 5 knots. The dial also has a series of
colored arcs:
- Green Arc: from 86 knots (maximum stall speed, flaps 0º, certified takeoff weight) up
to 200 knots (maximum stall speed, flaps 40º, certified takeoff weight).
- White Arc: from 71 knots (stall speed, flaps 40º, certified maximum takeoff weight)
up to 115 knots (maximum speed, flaps extended certified VFE). Represents the
operating range for maximum flap deflection (40º).
- Blue Radial Line: on the 146 knots mark. It corresponds to a maximum speed
maneuver (VR).
- Red Radial Line: on the 76 knots mark (VMC) and another on the 200 knots mark
(VMO).

LANDING GEAR
LANDING GEAR
The aircraft has a fixed tricycle landing gear with a steerable nosewheel. During ground operations, the
nosewheel is steered hydraulically from the cockpit at LH of C/M-1 up to a maximum of 45° to the left and
to the right.
The main landing gear is fitted with an hydraulically-actuated brake assembly. It is actuated when the
C/M-1 or C/M-2 brake pedals are pressed. The braking is differential and proportional to the amount of
deflection applied to the associated brake pedal.
The shock absorber tubes are interconnected by means of torsional connecting rods which prevent the
tubes from moving separately.
The double-steering hydraulic actuator, installed across the unit, houses a geared piston which, when
translated horizontally to the RH or LH side, drives via connecting rods the torsion nosewheel in
accordance with the commanded input from the steering wheel in the cockpit.

BRAKES
Each main landing gear wheel is fitted with a disk-brake pack which is actuated hydraulically. The pack
includes a disk, which rotates together with the wheel rim, and four brake shoes which exert pressure on
the disk when hydraulic pressure pushes on their pistons. This pack is completed by four fixed
brake-shoes installed on the opposite side of disk, and whose function it is to exert friction on the disk
when it is pushed by the active brake.
When the hydraulic pressure is reduced in order to suppress braking, the piston return-springs pull the
brake away from the disk, so allowing free movement of the wheel.
Normal brakes
Normal braking is accomplished by exerting pressure on the brake pedals, which operate separately in
this mode of use. Either of the two LH pedals will brake the LH wheel of the main landing gear, and a
similar operation brakes the RH wheels (differential braking).
The hydraulic pressure supplied to the brakes, and consequently the braking strength, depends of the
amount of deflection applied to the brake pedal which is being activated. This deflection is transmitted
mechanically to the associated control valve and then the valve proportionally modulates the pressure
transmitted across (via the shuttle-valves) until it reaches the respective brakes.
The shuttle valves move in a given direction, in accordance with the highest force exerted on them. The
pilot exerting the highest input force on his brake-pedal has control of the brakes.
If no pressure is available from the hydraulic pump (both electric and manual) the assembly is supplied
using pressure stored in an accumulator whose capacity is sufficient for 30 brake cycles. In normal
conditions, the accumulator guarantees an immediate response in brake pressure.
The accumulator is located in the nose compartment, together with the hydraulic service panel where the
accumulator pressure gauge and the control for actuating the discharge valve, which allows the pressure
retained within the accumulator to be purged, are installed.
The lever is installed in a fixed location on the top part of the pedestal in order to be used as a parking
brake.

By applying a force to the top section of either pedal, pressure is supplied to the brake pack of
the corresponding wheel. Each pedal operates a single control valve.
The emergency and parking brake lever is maintained in up position operating by means of this
lock.
When raised, all of the emergency pressure is applied to the brake packs.
When fully raised, it remains in this fixed position as the parking brake. The brakes are
released by pushing the latch towards the RH side, so that the lever is released and lowered
under the action of a spring.
The hydraulic pressure indicator indicates the pressure in the supply line to the sub-systems.
The indicator scale is zero to 4000 psi, and is marked in 200 psi increments. The green arc is

NOSEWHEEL STEERING
The nose landing-gear is fitted with an hydraulic steering assembly which allows the aircraft to be steered
during taxiing operations by means of a steering wheel on the LH console in the cockpit. Hydraulic fluid
from main system at 2000 psi is sent to the system through both a flow-restricting valve that lowers
actuating speed, and a non-return valve to isolate and maintain pressure within the system.
This steering wheel mechanically positions a control valve which controls the hydraulic pressure towards
one side of the double steering actuator. The actuator has gear teeth which engage with the rotating part
of the nose landing gear, so that a horizontal displacement of the double piston makes the wheel turn
towards the right or left. A follow-up mechanism resets the control valve to "neutral" as soon as the nose
wheel reaches the required deflection. This way, the nose wheel is fixed in the selected position until a
new steering movement is input from the steering wheel.
For the towing of the aircraft, it is required to remove the two quick-fixation pins from the connecting rods.
This enables full, free rotation of the wheel, which is limited to a 45° RH/LH turn.
At all times when the control valve is set to its neutral position, anti-shimmy protection is available to
prevent any vibration of the nose wheel during displacement of the aircraft on the ground. With this
selection, both actuator pistons remain connected to a low pressure accumulator which damps the
oscillations transmitted from the nose wheel to these pistons.
The system is fitted with a sensor that detects pressure variations for anti-shimmy and when this
pressure falls below a predetermined value, the light STEER ACCM, located on the central instrument
panel, comes on.
The accumulator is located in the nose compartment, together with the hydraulic service panel, where a
pressure gauge, an accumulator and the control for actuating the discharge valve, which allows the
pressure retained within the accumulator to be purged, are installed.

When rotated, it moves the hydraulic control valve in order to rotate the nose wheel in the same
direction as the steering wheel. The nose wheel does not re-centre itself, so when the wheel
reaches the desired orientation, the steering wheel is to be centered in order to maintain the
current steering angle.
Comes on when the pressure within the steering accumulator falls below its predetermined
value.

POWER PLANT
GENERAL
The aircraft C-212 Serie 300 is equipped with two turboprop engines Garret-Allied Signal TPE
331-10R-513C. In static conditions, standard atmosphere, at sea level and at 100% rpm the nominal
power of each engine is 900 SHP (925 SHP APR on). The C-212 is equipped with a four bladed, constant
speed, hydraulic feathering and reverse pitch Dowty Rotol R.334/4-82-F/13.
The power plant comprises the power group assembly, an engine control system, an engine oil system,
an engine fuel system, an engine starting and ignition system, a propeller and a gearbox.
Inlet air enters the compressor section through an inlet duct located at the bottom of the input housing
assembly. The first stage impeller of the compressor section compresses the inlet air and forces it
through the interstage duct assembly (crossover duct) to the second stage impeller and is discharged
into the combustion section.
The combustion chamber case provides a plenum for compressed air keeping the outer surfaces of the
engine relatively cool. The rear of the combustion chamber case provides a register for the turbine
bearing support and for mounting the fuel nozzle and manifold assemblies.
Gases from the combustion section flow through the stators and rotors and exhaust to atmosphere
through the exhaust duct assembly and around the tail cone. Some compressor air is directed against
the turbine rotors for cooling. The turbine section provides power through the reduction gear and shaft
section to drive the propeller.
The compressed air supplied from the compressor section flows into a single reverse flow annular
combustion chamber assembly that encloses the turbine section. Here atomized fuel supplied by the fuel
nozzle and manifold assembly of the fuel system is mixed with the compressed air. Primary fuel nozzles
are used for starting. Secondary fuel nozzles are used in conjunction with the primary nozzles for all other
phases of operation. During starting and initial acceleration, the fuel-air mixture is ignited by two igniter
plugs of the ignition system. After ignition cutout, combustion is self-sustaining. The resultant
combustion gases are directed to the three-stage axial turbine by the transition liner assembly.

The fuel from the fuel tank goes through the fuel shutoff valves to the engine pumps assembly. The
pumps assembly includes a boost pump and a high pressure pump, connected by a bypass filter. The
pumps assembly also incorporates a relief valve.
There is a filter anti-ice device that operates automatically when the fuel temperature is below 5ºC. An
anti-ice valve, thermostatically controlled, passes a portion of fuel from the high-pressure pump through
an oil/fuel heat exchanger.
The pump assembly delivers filtered fuel at required pressure to the fuel control unit for metering.
The fuel control unit is attached to the rear of the fuel pump assembly. The control unit incorporates an
overspeed governor, main metering valve, underspeed governor, bypass valve, PL & RPM lever
links.
After the FCU there are an enrichment valve, a limiting valve (TTL operated), a flowmeter and a shutoff
valve (electrically and mechanically actuated).
The engine shutoff valve introduces fuel to the engine in response to the 10% speed switch actuation
during engine starting. The valve is open during normal engine operation. During engine shutdown an
electrical signal from the fuel switch in the cockpit closes the shutoff valve. The valve may be closed from
the cockpit by the Emergency shutdown lever.
A flow divider is used to route the fuel to the primary and secondary nozzles as appropriate.
One manifold provides primary fuel flow for engine starting and continuous operation and the other
provides only secondary fuel flow for continuous operation. The engine contains 10 dual-orifice fuel
nozzles connected through primary and secondary manifolds from the primary and secondary sides of
the fuel flow divider.
During initial phases of an engine start, fuel atomisation is provided only by the primary nozzles.
For all other phases of engine operation, fuel is provided by both the primary and secondary nozzles.

The fuel control unit meters the fuel, supplied by the boost and high pressure fuel pumps, to the engine
combustion chamber. The fuel control unit is composed of three major fuel devices: an overspeed
governor (OSG), a manual fuel valve (MFV) and an underspeed governor (USG).
The FCU meters the fuel to the fuel nozzles according to:
The flyweight-type overspeed governor is a safety device to control engine speed at approximately 103%
in the event of propeller governor assembly malfunction. Excess engine speed produces overspeed
governor flyweight action, which reduces fuel flow to oppose any engine speed increase over this
limit.
The USG functions in beta-mode operation. The engine speed is controlled by the pilot between
65±1% and 97% rpm. Should engine speed attempt to increase beyond the selected setting, the USG
reduces the fuel flow to oppose any speed increase. The minimum engine speed setting during ground
operation reduces noise level and the maximum ssetting provides greater power during reverse-pitch
braking operation.
The MFV meters fuel flow to control engine power at all engine speeeds during beta-mode and during
propeller-governing mode. At a fuel flow sufficient to drive the engine speed above the USG setting the
PG assembly establishes a constant-engine-speed operation by automatically increasing
propeller-blade pitch angle. Additional fuel flow provides additional power at propeller-governing mode.
Propeller-governor mode for speed setting can be established by C/M's control of the RPM lever
between 96% and 100% rpm.
The OSG is a safety device to control engine speed between 104% and 105% in the event of PG
assembly malfunction. Excess engine speed produces OSG action which reduces fuel flow to oppose
any engine speed increase.

There is an emergency shutdown lever for each engine. Each lever is mechanically connected
to the mechanical fuel shutoff valve, engine mounted fuel shutoff valve, nacelle vent ports and
feathering valve.
- When te lever is in NORMAL position the mechanical valve is open and the engine
mounted valve is mechanically set to open when electrically energized at 10% rpm
during engine start.
- When the lever is in FEATHER position both valves are closed. This provides a
means of rapid engine shutdown and propeller feathering in the event of emergency
or electrical failure.
- When it is in OPEN the electrical fuel shutoff valve is open and the engine mounted
shutoff valve is armed to open at 10% rpm during the start after which it remains
mechanically latched open until electrically closed by the FUEL switch or
mechanically closed by the emergency shutdown lever.
- In CLOSE position the electrical fuel and the engine mounted shutoff valves are
electrically energized to close.
(3) PRIME buttons:
Each engine has a PRIME button. When it is pressed it energizes the fuel enrichment valve to
open.
The fuel flow indicators display fuel flow in pound per hour and is numbered in 100 lb/h steps
from zero to 600 lb/h and is marked in increments of 10 lb/h. The dial has a green-arc between
zero and 547 lb/h.

The system also includes an oil tank, an oil pressure pump, three scavenge pumps, an oil filter, a bypass
filter incorporating an indicator (on the engine) to alert oil filter restriction, a pressure regulator relief
valve, an air/oil cooler, an oil vent valve and an oil/fuel heat exchanger.
The oil tank assembly is mounted as part of the engine. The serices ports includes a screen, dipstick and
a cap. Other ports on the oil tank include an air/oil separator, the cylindrical oil/fuel heat exchanger and a
connection for the unfeathering pump.
The lubrication pump and all three scavenge pumps are similar in construction and differ only in physical
size and displacement. The scavenge pumps are capable of displacing considerably more oil volume
than the pressure pump could put into either sump, so that the gearbox functions at a pressure less than
ambient. This negative pressure assists in preventing oil loss since the seals would admit air into the
case rather than allowing oil to escape.
The oil filter assembly consists of a removable filter housing containing a disposable cartridge type filter
element.
The bypass filter provides a warning to the operator that the filter may be restricted. When the filter is in
bypass, a red rod will extend which will remain extended indicating a restricted oil filter element.
The oil vent valve is mounted on the front face of the reduction gear section. The valve opens to provide
air to the suction side of the pressure and scavenge pumps, reducing the demand of output torque from
the starter-generator. The vent valve is normally close and electrically open between 0% to 60% rpm
during the engine starting.
A ram air/oil cooler is located in the lower engine nacelle. The oil only passes through the air/oil cooler
when an integrated thermostatically controlled valve detects an oil temperature of 75ºC.

Temperature compensator provides a bias signal to indicate 26ºC lower temperature, thus allowing for
an increase in power equivalent to that of 26ºC EGT until red line is obtained.
Torque compensator provides a bias signal to the torque limiter allow a 2.8% increase in torque, which is
also reflected in the indicator. The same system signal also closes the heating valve if it is open and
illuminates the APR light in the central instrument panel.
In case of a failure of the automatic sequence, the pilot has available a manual selection for system
operation. The APR system powers now only the manual temperature compensator and the torque
compensator.
The upper part of the pushbutton illuminates ARM when the system is energized by the APR
switch. Failure of the automatic system is indicated when the corresponding amber APR light,
located in the central instrument panel, remains off when torque of the opposite engine drops
below 50%. The override system is selected by pressing the pushbutton and O/RIDE is
displayed in the lower part of the pushbutton. This energizes the manual compensators to bias
the signals to the T/T Limiter.
(2) APR switch:
The selector has three positions labeled AUT, OFF and MAN. The switch is spring-loaded to
the OFF position.
· AUT: the torque automatic bypass signal serviceability is indicated by the APR TORQUE
TEST light.

· MAN: the torque manual bypass signal serviceability is indicated by the APR TORQUE TEST
light.
When system is armed this pushbutton provides selection facility, in conjunction with APR
TORQUE TEST selector, to test the APR compensator of each engine, in both manual and
automatic modes. LEFT and RIGHT green lights come on according to the selection
required.
There is a press-to-test light for each engine APR system. The light comes on to indicate the
automatic operation of the corresponding engine APR system.

The SRL controller is designed to be used with the EGT measuring system and eliminates the need tor
the pilot to use correction charts to determinate the maximum allowable operating temperature. The EGT
signal is modified and provided as a constant temperature signal to the EGT indicator.
The SRL system receives signals from a Delta P/P transducer, T2 inlet temperature sensor, engine
rpm and compensated EGT. The Delta P/P transducer, using P2 and P5 signals, sends a corrective
signal to the SRL controller that represents the pressure altitude effect on the engine operation.

The pressure regulator receives high pressure oil from the lubrication system and regulates the pressure
to about 85 psi. The orifice is a restriction to oil flow and reduces the downstream pressure. The torque
sensor is a variable pressure regulator and regulates the "torque" pressure as a result of the twisting
action of the torsion shaft. The pressure from the torque sensor and the pneumatic signal from the
pressure inside the gearbox are sent to a torque tranducer that transmits an electrical signal to the torque
indicator.
The torque indicators are located in the central instrument panel. The signals are displayed as
percent of the maximum rated power and is numbered in 20% steps from zero to 120%,
marked in increments of 5%. The dial has:

The engine starting is initiated by the AUTO START selector that energizes the starter-generator, in
ground operations, or the unfeathering pump in flight operations. Engine can be started by the AC
batteries or by means of a GPU.
The automatic engine starting requires the AS/SRL controller to be energized through the SRL &
LIMITER COMPTR switch. The controller receives an RPM AC signal from a single monopole circuit in
the PG, and converts it into accurate speed values for the operation of the speed switches in the correct
sequence.
The manual engine starting is performed in case of AS/SRL system is inoperative. The engine starting is
controlled by the FUNCTION SELECT switch and the MANUAL IGN pushbutton located in the overhead
panel.
During automatic engine starting, ignition of fuel-air mixture within the combustion chamber assembly is
accomplished by the ignition system. The ignition unit is energized by 24V DC at 10% RPM and delivers
high voltage pulses to the igniter plugs through the ignition leads. The two igniter plugs produce ignition
sparks to start combustion. The system is de-energized when the engine RPM reaches a value of 60%
that indicates combustion has become self-sustaining. For manual starting the ignition must be
controlled manually with the MANUAL IGN pushbutton.
The ignition unit is energized by the AUTO START selector or by the MANUAL IGN pushbutton. The
AUTO START light in the overhead panel indicates the operation of the system.
In case of an engine flame out during flight operation, when RPM is 80%, automatically a speed switch
enegizes the ignition to attempt an engine start. A microswitch for each engine (located in the leg of main
landing gear) disconnects the system for ground operations, but can be tested with the AUTO IGN test
switch.
Each engine has an AUTO START selector. The selectors are spring loaded to the center
position, and are labeled AIR and GND.
· AIR: an automatic airstart is initiated. The selector energizes the unfeathering pump to drive
the propeller to a lower blade angle so airflow becomes the rotational force during
acceleration.
· GND: energizes the starter-generator to provide the rotational force for automatic ground
start.
A press-to-test light is located above each AUTO START selector. The light comes on (green)
when the ignition system is energized. It indicates the correct function of the speed switches
during auto start. The light should be monitored during the start to observe it illuminates at 10%
RPM and extinguishes at 60% RPM.
Each engine has a MANUAL IGN pushbutton, under guard. When the button is pressed it
energizes the ignition system and opens the fuel shutoff valve. During manual air or ground
starts, the button is pressed at 10% RPM and released at 60% RPM. This manually substitutes
the function of the speed switches during an automatic start.

Each engine has a FUNCTION SELECT switch, under guard. The switches are spring loaded
to the center position and are labeled UNFTH, NORM, CRANK.
· UNFTH: the switch only energizes the unfeathering pump which is used for manual airstart and
unfeathering the propeller on the ground.
· NORM: this is the normal position.
· CRANK: used for manual ground starts it energizes the starter generator and oil vent valve to
open.
The switch has two positions labeled L or R and TEST. It is spring loaded to the L or R position.
In TEST position the autoignition system is energized to provide an input signal to the ignition
unit and the AUTO START green light comes on.
An SRL and START COMPUTER LEFT/RIGHT light comes on to indicate when its respective
controller is not providing a conditioned EGT indication.
Each starter has an OVERLOAD START RELAYS lights. It is a press-to-test type. The
corresponding light comes on to indicate a started overload during engine start. The started
generator is automatically de-energized.
(8) SRL & LIMITER CMPTR L/R switches:
The switches, energize the SRL and Limiter computer systems. The three position switches
are labeled OFF, BOTH and SRL (ONLY).
There is a switch for each system. It is a three-position switch labeled TORQUE and EGT and
neutral. It is spring loaded to the center position. When held to either TORQUE or EGT the
respective limit is simulated. Serviceability is indicated when a decrease in fuel flow is
observed which results from bypass valve actutation in response to the appropiate signal from
the Limiter computer.
There is a test switch for each transductor. It has two positions and is spring loaded to the
center position. In the center position the transducer is energized to provide an input signal to
the SRL controller.
· TEST: the transducer is de-energized. When held to TEST serviceability if the transducer is
indicated by a small change in EGT. At the operating altitudes and airspeeds of the aircraft a
change of 2º to 4º is normal.

PROPELLERS
General
The propeller is a four bladed, constant speed, with feather and reverse pitch.
The propeller consists of a hub assembly, the blades and the blade bearings. On the rear part of the hub
there is a cylinder which controls the pitch change mechanically and hydraulically. On the front part it is
found the Slip Ring Assembly which transmits the electrical current to the blade de-icer assemblies.
- The basic functioning of the blades position is determined by the balance of forces between
hydraulic pressure, spring and counterweights force.
- High pressure oil is delivered to the rear of the piston through the beta tube, this causes the
piston to move from feather to reverse position. This propeller is spring loaded to the full
reverse position.
- When the hydraulic pressure is released from the rear of the piston, the blade counterweights,
with the assistance of the inner and the outer feather springs, move the piston towards the
feather position.
- Movement of the piston is transmitted by the crosshead and the operating pin to the propeller
blade assemblies.
- Two spring loaded latches engage the piston and consequently hold the propeller blades at or
near 0 degrees for minimum propeller drag during starting. When the engine has attained
sufficient speed, the centrifugal force causes the latches to disengage the piston, allowing the
blades to assume their required pitch angle.
- In the event of oil pressure failure the counterweight and springs will move the blades to
feather position.

There are two modes of operation of the engine, Beta Mode (for ground operation) and Governor Mode
(for inflight operation)
The propeller control system consists of an oil transference tube (beta tube), PG, PPC, feather valve,
unfeather pump, beta switch and negative torque system (NTS).
The propeller control system is in charge of controlling the propeller pitch in the two modes of operation,
Beta mode and Governor mode.
In Beta mode, the oil in the lubrication engine system enters the PG where there is a pump, moved by the
engine, which will cause an increase in the oil pressure. This oil is sent to the PPC where, depending on
PL movements, the oil pressure will be modulated. The oil will flow through the beta tube in order to
produce a variation in the pitch of the propeller blade.
A pressure sensor is located on the line between PG and PPC, and it will switch on the green beta light
since pressure here is high. In beta mode the pilot controls, through the PL, the propeller pitch angle.
In beta mode the PL controls the pitch angle through the PPC. Any engine speed between 65 and 97%
RPM is selected with the RPM lever by acting USG.
In the governor mode, the oil in the lubrication engine system enters the PG where there is a pump, and a
pressure regulator valve will modulate oil pressure. Oil is sent to the PPC where it does not suffer
variation. The oil will flow through the beta tube in order to produce a variation in the pitch of the propeller
blade. The beta light sensor will not switch on the beta light since pressure here is low. In governor mode,
the movement of the PL will not affect to the PPC, that will act as hydraulic connection.
In case of advancing the PL further the F.I. position it is produced the transition from Beta mode to
Governor mode.
In Governor mode, the PL controls the fuel flux and engine speed through the MFV. The PG, positioned
by RPM lever to maintain the RPMs between 96 and 100%, controls the propeller pitch angle.

Feathering
Feathering valve is mounted at the rear part of the gear box. It acts hydraulically by NTS sensor or
manually by the pilot. The valve releases pressure from the propeller piston, while it avoids pressure to
get from PPC, and the spring makes the propeller feather.

The function of the NTS system is to limit the torque that the engine can absorb from the propeller during
windmilling and thereby prevent high propeller drag conditions. The NTS system will automatically move
the propeller blades toward their feathered position (should the engine suddenly lose power while in
flight), and precisely modulate the propeller-blade pitch angle during a propeller-windmilled engine
air-start.

energize the unfeathering pump and open the normally closed NTS checkout valve.
This supplies oil to the propeller system to accomplish the NTS checks.

Propeller Synchronization
The propeller synchronization system sets automatically the rpm of both engines to have the same value
and it also allows the pilot to select any phase between the propellers. The rpm of one engine will follow
the rpm of the other engine within a predetermined limited range. This range avoids any engine to lose a
quantity of rpm in case of the other engine is feathered with the synchronization system on.
The PROPS SYNC knob is located in the pedestal. In the ON range the system is connected
and the C/M's can adjust the less noise propeller phase. In the OFF position the system is
de-energized.
(2) PROPS SYNC light (green):
A propeller syncrophaser press-to-test light is located in the pedestal. The light illuminates
when the propeller syncrophaser system is energized.

INTRODUCTION
The aircraft has certain operative limitations that have to be considered concerning both performances
and systems.
Depending on the type of operation the applicable regulation is different. So, the limitations for military
role are different than those for civil operation. For each limitation, the military or civil nature is specified
in the heading. If the limitation is applicable for both militar or civil, no mention is made in the heading.
These pages do not cover all limitations. Complete coverege is given in AFM.
2-1
A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
- Zone A: Recommended.
Cargo-fuel combinations for which airplane operations may be conducted in the assault role at
maneuver load factors up to 3.0 g within the airspeed limitations.
- Zone B: Recommended.
Cargo-fuel combinations for which airplane operations may be conducted in the normal
transport role at maneuver load factors up to 2.5 g within the airspeed limitations.
- Zone C: Not Recommended
2-2
A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
Cargo-fuel combinations which presents a high degree of risk of structural damage. Operation
of the airplane in this area is not recommended and should be avoided. Under conditions of
extreme emergency when the risk of damage to the airplane is secondary, the proper authority
will determine if the degree of risk warrants operation of the airplane at loadings in this zone.
Flight in moderate turbulence is prohibited. Landings must be conducted at a minimum rate of
descent. Operation in this zone imposes a high risk of damage to the landing gear and
supporting structure during taxi. Fuel weights on the area to the top left of the chart, represent a
high risk of damage to the wing structure during flight. Cargo weights on the area at the right of
the chart represent a high risk of main landing gear damage. A structural inspection shall be
performed after flying in this zone.
USE OF CHART:
The Weight Limitations Chart may be used for any of the two following purposes:
1 To determine maximum permissible amount of cargo for a given airplane gross weight, amount
of fuel required, and airplane operating empty weight.
2 To determine maneuver load factor for a given amount of cargo, fuel, and airplane operating
empty weight.
Procedure 1:
Enter chart at the right hand side bottom scale with the amount of fuel required and move up to the
appropriate gross weight line; thence, proceed horizontally to the left (the zero fuel weight on the
corresponding vertical scale may be read). Enter chart at the left hand side bottom scale with the value of
the operating empty weight and move up to intercept the line drawn previously. From the point where the
two lines cross, proceed along the guideline to the left hand side vertical scale to read the maximum
permissible cargo weight.
Procedure 2:
Enter the chart at the left hand side vertical scale with the amount of cargo and draw upwards to the right
and interpolating line. Enter chart again at the left hand side bottom scale with the airplane operating
empty weight and move up to intercept line previously drawn. From the point where the two lines cross,
draw a horizontal line to the right. Enter chart again at the right hand side bottom scale with the amount of
fuel required and move vertically up to intercept the last line drawn. The maximum permissible maneuver
load factor is limited by the value corresponding to the zone where the interception point is located.
NOTE
Load conditions should be checked to determine
condition over destination.

POWERPLANT
AUTOMATIC POWER REVERSE
APR use should remain an emergency operation only, as engine rotor cycle life is penalized by 4 cycles
for each use of APR.
Flight with APR system on must not be initiated when the SRL and/or TTL systems are inoperative.
POWER RATINGS
Engines on the airplane are flat-rated at sea level as follows:
at 100% RPM (41730 - rpm engine speed) with a 650°C indicated EGT (SRL on) limit.
POWER SETTINGS
For compliance with applicable regulations, takeoff and maximum continuous power must be set as
defined by either the applicable %TQ limit or indicated EGT (SRL on) limit, whichever is reached first.
Operating Limits

necessary)
(1) Takeoff (initial) power is selected by the pilot on takeoff. When the APR system is operative, takeoff
(APR on) power will be obtained automatically on one engine if the other fails during takeoff. The five
minute limit of takeoff (APR on) power must include the duration of operation at takeoff (initial) power
prior to the operation of APR.
2-7
A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
(3) For the case of takeoff (APR on) power, the EGT (SRL on) limit is actually a value corrected down by
26°C through a bias signal to the EGT indicator.
However, the takeoff (initial) power %TQ setting must not be less than the minimum permissible value.
Any exceedance during APR operation of the takeoff power indicated EGT operating limits must be
recorded in the engine log book.
The EGT operating limits shown above are for SRL system on operation. When the SRL system is off the
maximum EGT limitation for takeoff or cruise will vary as a function of ambient conditions.
TORQUE LIMITS
Maximum Permissible Torque: 100.0 %TQ, continuous.
102.8 %TQ (APR on), 5 minutes.
If any of the values above are exceeded in flight, immediately reduce it to within limits. However, no
engine maintenance action is required if values up to 104.4 %TQ are not exceeded for more than 5
minutes.
CAUTION
RPM SETTINGS
Transients of up to ±1% from ground set point are permissible during takeoff and landing. Transients of
up to ±2% about the operational set point, as determined by the pilot setting of the RPM lever, are
permissible during maneuvering flight other than takeoff and landing. RPM variations of up to ±0.25%
about the operational set point, as determined by the pilot setting of RPM lever, are permissible during
steady-state engine operation under calm flight or static conditions. In case of sudden engine stoppage
or externally induced deceleration, shutdown the engine. Refer to the maintenance manual for
appropriate action.

RPM LIMITS
(1) Return power levers to G.I. position if engine speed drops below limits.
CAUTION
WINDMILLING LIMITATIONS
EGT LIMITS
(1) With the SRL system inoperative (a situation which requires the operation to be conducted with the
APR system disabled) the EGT limits for takeoff and maximum continuous (and cruise) will vary as a
function of ambient conditions and must be determined.
(2) This time limit must include the duration of operation at initial takeoff prior to operation of APR.
(3) This 650°C EGT limits is actually a value corrected down by 26°C, through a bias signal to the EGT
indicator.

If limits are exceeded, abort start. Attempt to determine cause of failure to start and correct before further
attempt.
FUEL SYSTEM
FUEL QUANTITY
This values are based on a value of 6.5 lb/U.S. Gal. of JP-4 fuel at a temperature of 25ºC.
FUEL PRESSURE
Fuel low pressure warning switch senses engine boost pump inlet pressure.
FUEL LOADING
Inboard tanks must be filled prior to outboard ones.

A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
PROPELLERS
CAUTION
The negative torque sensing (NTS) system must be operational for takeoff, since required takeoff
runway lengths and climb performance data are based upon automatic propeller drag reduction by
driving the propeller blade angle toward feather in the event of fuel starvation or in-flight engine
shutdown.

CAUTION
CAUTION
WARNING
NOTE
Pilots should not become reluctant to command full
rudder when required and when appropriate, such as
during an engine failure shortly after takeoff or during
strong or gusty crosswind takeoffs or landings.
The airplane is fully controllable in flight with either engine inoperative and the other producing rated
takeoff power, at all airspeeds from VMCA to VMO.
2-13
A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
The Maximum Airspeed Limit supersedes the Maximum Operating Speed Limit, VMO appearing on the
subsection "AIRSPEED LIMITATIONS (CIVIL)" in this section, when the airplane is operated in the
military transport role.
Any flight speed up to the Maximum Recommended Airspeed may be utilized up to and including
moderate turbulence. The airplane should not be operated in conditions of severe turbulence; however,
if flight in severe turbulence cannot be avoided, the recommended turbulence penetration airspeed for
use when flying in severe turbulence is 146 KIAS.
The maneuver load factor limits are -1.2 to 3.0 g unless further limited by the Weight Limitations
Chart.
Operation at airspeeds between Maximum Recommended Airspeed and Maximum Airspeed Limit is
permissible in smooth to moderate turbulence. Flight in severe turbulence is strictly prohibited. The
maneuver load factor limits are 0 to 3.0 g unless further limited by the Weight Limitations Chart. The
Maximum Airspeed Limit shall never be exceeded.
NOTE
The Maximum Recommended Airspeed is equal to the
VMO value listed on the subsection "AIRSPEED
LIMITATIONS (CIVIL)" in this section.

30-D-152041-C-0117B-00001-M-01-1IÉò
NOTE
These accelerations limit the angle of bank in turns and
the severity of pull-up maneuvers.
The permissible maneuver load factor range with flap extended is 0 to 2.0 g, up to the maximum flap
extended speed.
When flying in light turbulence, do not deliberately exceed the 0 to 2.0 g range in maneuvers. When
flying in conditions of moderate turbulence, do not deliberately exceed the 0.25 to 1.75 g range in
maneuvers.
For asymmetrical maneuvers which include aileron inputs, roll acceleration, and roll velocity, the
allowable load factors are 0.25 to 1.5 g (rolling pullouts).
An accelerometer for the determination of g-loading is fitted on the instrument panel. Since feel is often
misleading, particularly when the pilot's attention is diverted, abrupt or unnecessary maneuvering must
always be avoided.
Normal airplane instrumentation cannot be used to accurately measure rate of sink at touchdown. The
pilot in command must exercise sound judgement and report any landing which is considered to have
been a hard landing.

INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
The Procedures described in this chapter are recommended by Airbus Defence and Space to achieve
safe and efficient operation of the C-212 aircraft. As a result of the subsequent experience of both
operators and manufacturer there may be modifications to these procedures. Any modifications will be
reflected at the appropriate time by means of revisions.
Like the rest of the Aircraft Operations Manual, these procedures have not been certified by the Aviation
Authorities. Although Airbus Defence and Space takes maximum care while preparing this manual, the
operator is responsible for the adoption of Manual and its contents, as well as its adaptation to the
operators modus operandi if convenient.
NOTE
This Manual reflects a standard equipped C-212
aircraft. Inevitably differences exist between aircraft
due to individual operators specifications so the exact
procedures may not be described.
If any information or procedure in this Aircraft Operations Manual contradicts the "C-212 Flight
Manual″, the latter shall take priority. There may be differences between each of them due either to the
order in which particular steps are performed, or the addition of other steps or aspects, which while
differing, are not contradictory.
It is assumed that the crew members have taken prior instruction and have understood and assimilated
the Description and Operation of the Aircraft and its Systems as described in Section 01 of this Aircraft
Operations Manual.
The described operation is based on the assumption that all the systems are operating normally and the
aircraft has been delivered to the crew by Maintenance - Flight Line after the Pre-flight inspection stated
in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.
Some normal non-routine or infrequent operations are described at "SYSTEM DESCRIPTION" or "ALL
WEATHER OPERATIONS" sections.
Whenever the aircraft is not delivered by Maintenance - Flight Line, Pre-flight inspection will be
performed according to the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.
PROCEDURE ACOMPLISHMENT
The Normal Procedures will be applied by the crew in each flight phase.
As a basic guideline, every time the pilot selects any function, he must check the subsequent relevant
system reaction. Specifically, when any AFCS mode is selected or de-selected, the mode status must be
PFD-confirmed by both pilots. The PF will call-out the selected modes PFD-displayed any time there is a
change, to be confirmed by the PNF.
The procedures included here assume a GPU is available. Those STEPS THAT MUST NOT BE
PERFORMED IF ONLY BATTERIES ARE AVAILABLE are enclosed in square brackets (for example
[Interior/external lights................PLT/ON]).
NOTE
For procedures purposes one engine running is
equivalent to GPU available.

ENGINES START
BEFORE STARTING ENGINES
NOTE
The use of the GPU for engine starting is highly
recommended. Use a GPU able to support at least
1200 peak Amp. DC in order to optimize the engine
starting.
NOTE
When an engine start is usually done by means of the
battery and the other one with electrical power from the
running one, it is highly recommended to alternate the
engine starting order in each starting sequence in order
to not overload the same starter-generator.

To improve engine cooling, the airplane should be parked into wind. If reverse
taxiing is required, the airplane should be stopped by use of forward thrust to
prevent it from sitting on the tail.
If the reverse thrust is not enough to move the aircraft when the RPM lever is in
TAXI position, advance the RPM lever to TAKEOFF/LAND position.
CAUTION
Tune VHF receiver to 121.5 MHz and listen for inadvertent ELT activation. If the
ELT has been activated, it must be immediately shut off and nearest flight service
facility should be notified of the action.

The engine rpm should increase with actuation of the FUEL switch, then decay
when the manifold fuel is depleted.
NOTE
Actuation of the FUEL switch following manual
shutdown of an engine will result in fuel accumulation in
the plenum. It is recommended that the electrical
shutdown circuits not be activated until engine cooling
precludes combustion or, in the case of initial engine
operation with intentional manual shutdowns required,
the purge system may be disabled.

experience of operators and the manufacturer there may be modifications to these Procedures. Any
such modifications will be reflected at the appropriate time by means of Revisions.
Like the rest of the Aircraft Operations Manual, these Procedures have not been certified by the aviation
authorities. Although Airbus Defence and Space takes every care when preparing this manual, the
operator is responsible for the adoption of the Manual and its contents, and its adaptation to the
operators modus operandi where appropriate.
NOTE
This Manual reflects a standard equipped C-212
aircraft. Inevitably differences exist between aircrafts
due to individual operators specifications so the exact
procedures may not be described.
If any information or Procedure in this Aircraft Operations Manual contradicts the "C-212 Flight Manual"
applicable to your Aircraft Version, the latter shall take precedence. There may be differences between
each of them due either to the order in which particular steps are executed, or the addition of other steps
or aspects, which while different, are not contradictory.
The Emergency Procedures describe the actions necessary to protect the aircraft and its occupants from
imminent risk or critical damage due to an imminent or actual failure of any aircraft component or
system.
PRINCIPLES OF APPLICATION
As the Emergency Procedures are not routine, their application follows the "Read and Do" principle,
except in the case of those containing "Memory Steps".
MEMORY STEPS
Some procedures contain specific actions that have to be executed from memory as soon as
circumstances permit.
These actions are to be performed without resorting to the "Emergency Procedures List" in order to avoid
an unnecessary delay at a time when the safety of the aircraft or its occupants has been compromised.
These are printed in 'bold face' and are called "Memory steps" or "Immediate steps".
In general, the "Memory Steps" are performed in silence. However, some of these steps have to be
announced out loud before they are performed so they can be checked by the other C/M. These steps
have been selected because performing them incorrectly could potentially worsen the situation and they
are identified with an asterisk (*) in the column indicating which C/M is to perform the action.
PRESENTATION
The expanded version of the Emergency Procedures is presented in Section 04. This version consists of
basic procedures expanded with explanations and clarifications to facilitate understanding of why and
how some specific actions are to be performed.
Based on the "Expanded Emergency Procedures", there is an "Emergency Procedures List" in the Quick
Reference Handbook (QRH), consisting of a summarized list of the procedures to aid their use in the
cockpit. The term "summarized" is applicable only to their lenght, as the number of actions is the same as
in the Expanded list.
Revision 1 4-1
A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
TRIGGERING CONDITIONS
At the start of each procedure (in the expanded version) the technical conditions and or annunciations
requiring the application of the procedure are stated. The following indications, which are the logical
consequence of a specific technical failure, are not mentioned (for example: loss of a generator due to
an engine failure).
No action is taken, apart from situate landing gear lever up with positive climb, until:
– The appropriate flight path is established and minimum V2 is reached, and
– The aircraft is at least 400 ft above the runway or above the adequate safe altitude
considered for that particular airport/runway, except for any condition that precludes to
achieve the above mentioned targets or impedes the control of the aircraft.
– C/M detecting a current or imminent emergency will immediately notify the other
C/M (the way in which it is expressed used must not lead the other crew member to
prejudge which procedure is applicable).
– The aural warnings and MASTER Lights will be cancelled by either C/M once the
problem is identified and confirmed.
– All the indications available must be cross checked whenever possible to confirm
that the system is functioning incorrectly.
As soon as the situation permits, the "Memory steps" will be executed, if any.
4. READING/EXECUTION:
– As soon as the situation permits, C/M-1 will ask C/M-2 to read out the "Emergency
procedures list".
C/M-2 will read the whole text applicable, including the "Memory steps" already
performed, out loud. The text will be read only when C/M-1, if involved, is paying
attention. C/M-1 must confirm that he/she has understood each point before
proceeding.
Those steps whose incorrect execution could lead to a serious situation are
identified with a (*) in the column indicating which C/M performs the action and they
must be checked and confirmed by the other C/M before execution.
4-2 Revision 2
A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
– The actions and decisions must be executed by the designated crew member:
If C/M-1 is the crew member designated to execute the corresponding step, C/M-2
will read the complete step, i.e. the action to perform and its objective. C/M-1 will
confirm that the action has been performed correctly by repeating the result. C/M-2
will check it.
If C/M-2 is the crew member designated to execute the corresponding step, he will
read the complete step and confirm that the action has been performed correctly by
repeating the result. C/M-1 will check it when possible.
When C/M-1 has to make a decision, C/M-2 will read all the options available and
C/M-1 will decide which is appropriate for the situation.
5. COMPLETION OF A PROCEDURE:
– Once an emergency procedure has been initiated, it must be continued until its
definitive end (end of the procedure or the word END). If an interruption is required,
the sequence must be continued later.
– Both C/Ms shall undertake an analysis of the consequences of the failure for the rest
of the flight and shall observe restrictions arising as a result of the failure.

About 70 strokes of the hydraulic hand pump lever are normally required to
achieved normal pressure in a depleted hydraulic system.
No further crew action is required in flight until a change in flap setting becomes necessary (refer to the
emergency procedure “FLAP EMERGENCY SETTING”).
Hydraulic pressure is normally maintained in the normal brake pressure accumulator and is available for
normal wheel brake operation as directed under the emergency procedure “WHEEL BRAKE
OPERATION - MAIN SUPPLY FAILURE”.
Additionally, hydraulic pressure stored in the emergency brake accumulator is available for emergency
wheel brake operation, as directed under the emergency procedure “WHEEL BRAKES - EMERGENCY
OPERATION”, in the event of failure of the normal wheel brake system.
CAUTION
Operate the hydraulic hand pump lever until the required flap position is shown on
the flap position indicator. About 100 strokes of the hydraulic pump lever are
normally required to full flap extension.
NOTE
Maintain a speed below 100 KIAS before placing the
flaps in the LAND position.
If it is not possible to lower the flaps perform a flaps-up approach and landing, at
VREF+16 KIAS and allow for a 32% increase over scheduled (unfactored) full flaps extended
landing distance (refer to the “LANDING DISTANCES” graph in the applicable AFM).
If required flap setting is obtained and when the desired flap position has been obtained

The illumination of the before mentioned annunciator is a signal that the corresponding temperature
regulator is faulty, its functions being automatically transferred to the other regulator. Consequently, the
heating of the windshields continues operating normally (do not turn off the corresponding WINDSHIELD
HEAT switch).
If visibility is lost through panes during the approach, open direct vision window, if
necessary, when the airspeed is below 170 KIAS.

-----------------------
1. Touchdown at the lowest possible sink rate controllable airspeed with airplane in a nose-high
pitch attitude. Hold sufficient back pressure on the control column until nosewheel can no
longer be held off the runway surface. Apply reverse thrust and brakes for deceleration.
Nosewheel steering handwheel, when used, is to be safely held (fingers outside spokes).
CAUTION
Revision 1 4-37
A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
2. If shimmy occurs, immediately release steering handwheel (if being used) and use
differential braking to maintain directional control. Apply reverse thrust and brakes for
deceleration. Allow for a 10% increase on scheduled landing distance.
Apply brakes with the aircraft firmly on ground. Brake pedals should not be
pumped; otherwise, rapid exhaustion of accumulator pressure will occur. Full
differential braking capability is retained.
2. For landing, refer before to the “LANDING DISTANCES” graph in the applicable AFM. When
braking action is deemed to be marginal, change over to the emergency wheel brake
system.
Use the lever with the airplane firmly on ground. Emergency braking is then
available but differential braking is lost. If committed to using the emergency
braking system after touchdown, it should be selected with the pedals released.
Monitor emergency brake pressure indication. Use lever and check brake
operation. The minimum required pull, consistent with maintaining directional
control, should be applied and maintained until the airplane slows to taxiing speed.
The lever should not be pumped or rapid exhaustion of the emergency
accumulator will occur. Reduced braking effectiveness will occur only below a
1100 psi readout.
WARNING
4-38 Revision 1
A.O.M. C-212-300 MASTER-1
Use reverse thrust in conjunction with nosewheel steering and brakes to control
and stop the aircraft.
ANTISKID FAILURE
The procedure applies only to aircraft fitted with the CASA optional antiskid system.

PERFORMANCE DATA
This section in Master AOM is intended to be used as a location to include a copy of all relevant
performance information (tables, charts, figures, etc.) for each operator/customer of C-212 series 300
aircraft. The availability of this information also in Master AOM may increase the efficiency and safety of
the flight operations.
NOTE
Each operator/customer must decide which is the most
relevant information to be included on these pages in
accordance with the kind of operation followed by the
aircraft, the ambient conditions, the experience of the
crews, the average flight profile, etc.
Relevant performance information means any performance data that is frequently used by the crews, or
that is required by operational regulations, or that affects the safety of the aircraft operation. The list of
relevant performance information may include the following items, but is not limited to them:
- Operation with one engine inoperative (weight limitations at takeoff and landing due to
minimum climb gradient, aircraft ceilings, driftdown charts and parameters, etc...).
- Aircraft ceilings with both engines operatives.
- Maximum torque and/or maximum ITT for the existing ambient condition.
- Takeoff and landing speeds.
- Etc.
Performance data is available in the AFM applicable to each aircraft, and may be included here as
photocopies from AFM pages, or customer/operators may also collect all the information and prepare
their own pages.
NOTE
It is the responsibility of each operator/customer to
maintain updated the performance information in
Master AOM (e.g when new issues and revisions to the
AFM are received).
In order to ease the process of collecting all performance data in AFM, a list of the main sources for
performance data in AFM is given to operators/customers. Use this information only as a reference
guide. It is not a checklist including all the possibilities.
