The Operations Manual Part B AL200 MCC Beech 200 is designed to provide the flight
crew with readily accessible operational information. For optimum utilization of the manual
this introduction should be read carefully:
Throughout this manual the experience of the typical crew has been recognized and for
this reason basic system principles have been omitted. For example, the text is not
intended to teach the crew how to fly an airplane, but enable the crew to operate the
AL200 MCC Beech 200 safely and proficiently.
The contents and arrangement of the Operations Manual Part B volume are described in
details as follows.
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Chapter 4 – Performance
It contains certified Performance (definitions), Inflight Performance and One Engine out
performance.

document.
Whenever a number to the right of the line item, immediately following the response,
indicates applicable crewmember responsibilities. A figure “1” means CM1 is involved etc.,
“B” indicates that both crewmembers are involved. This principle has not been followed if a
complete procedure is performed by only one crewmember.
The designations “CM1, CM2” refer to the crewmembers physical location. “CM1” is the
left pilot, “CM2” the right pilot. When the Pilot-In-Command (PIC) is in a position other than
the CM1 position, he will continue to execute his command authority while performing the
duties assigned to that crew position. The PIC will brief the other crewmember to ensure
that he understands the duties of his assigned position.
“PF” means that the associated action is always performed by the Pilot presently Flying
the airplane no matter if it is CM1 or CM2. “PM” has the same meaning for the Pilot Not
Flying the airplane.

Each O.M. Part B chapter is subdivide into sections categorized by the subject or type of
material presented. This permits issuance of small blocks of revision pages without
renumbering and reprint complete sections of the manual.
Chapter, section and subsection put together form the index:
The QRH is not subdivided by subject matter, consequently the pages are numbered in
sequence.
O.M. part B pages are designated by a Index (Chapter/Section), page and Revision
numbering system.
SAMPLE PAGINATION:
Additional identification data carried in the margin of the page are the chapter title and
subject carried in the mast head.
Blank pages are not numbered. To account for these blank pages on the List of Effective
Pages and to avoid the impression that page is missing or is a misprint, the number of the
blank page will be included with a regular page number on the preceding or following page

Revisions to this manual will be issued when necessary and are numbered consecutively.
Each revision should be inserted immediately and entered in the Record of Revisions.
Alterations to former pages will be identified by a strong vertical line, except when a whole
chapter or section is revised, then the reason for revision is given under revision highlights.
On the distribution list which is issued with each revision the highlights of changes are
indicated.
Editorial information:
a) Yellow pages are issued as Temporary Revisions to this manual. The T/R Record is
also printed on yellow paper.
Since TR’s are used for the OM paperback edition also, it has to be sticked over the
previous page.
b) Green pages are issued when over a longer period of time a certain modification
will be incorporated. The modified (future) state is described on white pages, while
the unmodified state is shown on the corresponding green pages. When
modification of the whole fleet has been completed, the green pages will be
removed from this manual. Green pages contain only such information which differs
from the information on the corresponding white pages.
Whenever used in the OM. The terms “Warning”, “Caution”, and “Note” are defined as
follows:
Warning: Operating procedures, techniques, etc. which may result in personal injury or
loss of life if not carefully followed.

General
Normal Procedures describe actions, which are necessary for the routine operation.
While the sequence of procedures follows the natural phases of flight the sequence of
actions in a procedure follows a standardized scan of panels or equipment except when
required by the logic of actions priority.
All actions of a procedure are either required to operate the airplane safely in the related
phase of flight or to prepare the airplane for the following phase of flight. Each action is
assigned to specific crewmember to ensure coordinated operation.
Normal Checklist
Normal checklists are used to ascertain that a standard cockpit configuration is achieved
which covers all safety aspects. Additionally aspects of economic importance may be
included.
1. “CHALLENGE/RESPONSE”:
The appropriate CM shall respond to the challenge after having verified the existing
configuration. The other CM shall crosscheck, whenever feasible, the validity of the
response. The challenger shall wait for the response before proceeding with the
checklist. Upon completion he shall announce: “ CHECKLIST COMPLETED”.
2. “UNILATERAL”:
Reading silently, PM shall use the checklist as a reference to verify that prescribed
actions have been performed. Upon completion he shall announce: “
CHECKLIST COMPLETED”.

LANDING AND PARKING Rev. 00
DEFINITIONS
An Emergency procedure describes actions, which are necessary to protect the airplane
and its occupants from impending serious or critical harm. An Abnormal procedure
describes actions to cope with an impending or affective failure of any airplane system or
component.
PRINCIPLES
The presentation of these procedures assumes a standard cockpit composition in which
CM1 is PIC and PF.
When applying one of these procedures another task distribution may be more
appropriate. It is, therefore, essential that the PIC assesses the situation and clearly
determines the task distribution for the various phases of flight.
A & E operation is non-routine; therefore all actions in A & E procedures are announced
before being performed.
The actions contained in A & E procedures are classified according to their mode of
application.
“Memory Actions”
For some procedures specific actions have been defined which must be performed as
soon as the situation permits, generally above 400’ AGL, with L/G selected UP and
airplane under control. The delay involved when referring to documents is not acceptable,
therefore, CM’s must be able to act by memory. Such actions are printed boxed and are
called “Memory Actions”.
“Read-and-Do-Actions
The majority of actions must only be performed after being read from documentation.
Some procedures contain actions, which must be synchronized with flight progress, e.g.
change of airplane configuration. These actions must only be initiate after crew
coordination.
“Review Actions”
Essential actions for such phases of flight, where the read-and-do concept cannot be
applied, are presented in such a manner that they can be read in advance, thus enabling
CM’s to memorize them when required. They are boxed by thin lines and are called
“Review Actions” (i.e. Go-Around Review).
The expanded version of all applicable A & E procedures presented in this chapter. It
consists of the basic procedure to which background information and explanatory text is
added to facilitate learning and understanding.
General
- Primary objective of the flight crew is always airplane control. Simply keep it flying!
- The crew shall generally not react to technical problems unless
• vertical and lateral flight path control is established, and
• ground contact is no longer threat.
Task Sharing
- PIC designates PF
- PF should use automatic flight systems whenever their use reduces workload.
Task Assignment
Where the expediency of procedure handling or the location of controls dictates a fixed task
assignment (e.g. Evacuation, Emergency Descent) this is indicated by adding “1”, “2” or “B”
(both) behind this response.
Abnormal & Emergency Procedures 3.5/3
AL200 MCC
Beech 200
PREFACE Rev. 00
Initiation of Procedure
- When ready, PF request initiation of procedure by announcing “START PROCEDURE”.
“Memory Actions”, if included are then performed by assigned CM before reference is
made to written material.
Other actions are performed following the “Read and Do “ concept.
Reading
Note: Under special circumstances, when loud reading conflicts with other cockpit
duties, PIC may decide that the text is read silently. In such case PM shall,
however, inform the PC about essential steps and the progress of the procedure.
- When decision making is imposed by the rhomb system ( ) the available choices shall
be read sequentially until a definite decision can be made.
Termination of Procedure
- An A & E procedure must be continued to its definite end (end of procedure list or the
word (END))
EXPLANATION OF LAYOUT
Due to the short number of A & E procedures of the AL-200, they are presented all together
in this chapter, but each one is easily identifiable in the Table of Contents, and in its title by
the letters A or E respectively to identify an Abnormal or Emergency procedure.
Note: This Sample Procedure has no reference to any other A or E Procedure and
will give a summary of the various layouts possible.

GENERAL
On this basis of the rules of certification an aircraft is authorized to takeoff from any
particular airport only if the takeoff weight is such to comply with the conditions listed under
following subchapters: Takeoff performance, Landing performance.
PERFORMANCE CONFIGURATION
The airplane configuration associated with the performance data in this section is shown
below. Performance conditions not shown below are on the appropriate charts.
REGULATIONS
The performance information in this section is presented in compliance with the appropriate
performance requirements of FAR Part 25 and JAR 25, other than those directly associated
with takeoff and landing weight limitations, is not implied.
Airspeeds
All airspeed values assume a zero instrument error.
All indicated Airspeeds are based on normal static source position error.
Position error is the instrument indication error due to location of static ports.
- Indicated airspeed, IAS. The speed read from the airspeed indicator uncorrected for
static source position error.
- Calibrated airspeed, CAS. Indicated airspeed corrected for static source position
error.
- Equivalent airspeed, EAS. Indicated airspeed corrected for static source position
error and compressibility.
- True airspeed, TAS. Equivalent airspeed corrected for density deviation from sea
level standard conditions.
- Stalling speed ratios. When computing percentages above the stalling speed in any
configuration, the percentage is always based upon the equivalent stalling speed
(same as calibrated at low speeds and altitudes). The indicated airspeed is then
computed by applying the calibration correction for the applicable speed, altitude and
configuration.
When the V1 value is selected such that, with an engine failure, the required takeoff
distance is equal to the required accelerate-stop distance the takeoff is called a V1
must not be less than VMCG and not greater than VR.
- Rotation Speed, VR. The speed at which rotation is initiated to the lift-off attitude to
attain the V2 climb speed at the 35 ft height with one engine inoperative. VR must not
be less than 1.05 times the air minimum control speed, VMCA.
Certified performance 4.20/2
AL200 MCC
Beech 200
TAKEOFF PERFORMANCE Rev. 00
- Takeoff Climb Speed, V2. The speed to be attained at the 35 ft height with one
engine inoperative. This speed must not be less than 1.2 times the stall speed in the
takeoff configuration nor less than 1.1 times the air minimum control speed.
- Ground Minimum Control Speed, VMCG. The minimum speed on the ground at which
the takeoff can be continued, using aerodynamic controls alone, when the critical
engine suddenly becomes inoperative and the remain engine is operating at takeoff
power.
- Air Minimum Control Speed, VMCA. The minimum flight speed at which the airplane is
controllable with a maximum of 5º bank when the critical engine suddenly becomes
inoperative and the remaining engine is operating at takeoff power.
- Landing Reference Speed, VREF. The speed at the 50 ft height in a normal landing.
This speed is equal to 1.3 times the stall speed in the landing configuration.
- Maneuvering Speed, VA. The maximum speed at which application of full available
aileron, rudder or elevator will not overstress the airplane.
Temperature
- ISA, International Standard Atmosphere. As accepted by the ICAO.
- OAT, Outside Air Temperature. The free air static (ambient) temperature.
Available Distances
- Runway length available is the part of the takeoff surface consisting of full strength
paved surface capable of carrying the airplane under all normal operating conditions.
- Stopway length available is the part of takeoff surface beyond the runway
designated by the airport authorities for use in decelerating the airplane during a
rejected takeoff.
To be considered as such, a Stopway must be capable of supporting the airplane
during a rejected takeoff without inducing structural damage to the airplane.
- Clearway length available is an area beyond the runway, designated by the airport
authorities as suitable to be taken into account for determining takeoff distance. A
clearway may not be used for calculation of max. allowable takeoff weights.
The minimum takeoff field length varies with airport altitude, ambient temperature, gross
weight, flap setting, wind, runway slope and engine bleed configurations. In addition to
these factors the takeoff field length are dependent on the selected V1, VR and V2 speeds,
the one which may be varied most easily in operation is the V1 which allows to take
advantage of existing clearway and/or stopway.
In all cases, regardless of the selected value of V1, compliance with the following
requirements must be shown when establishing takeoff performance.
The takeoff distance (required runway plus clearway) is the greater of:
- 115 percent of the distances from the start of ground roll to the point at which a 35 ft
height above the takeoff surface is reached with all the engines operating.
- The distance from the start of ground roll to the point at which a 35 ft height above
the takeoff surface is reached with an engine failure recognized at V1.
The available runway length plus the available clearway must be equal to or greater than
the takeoff distance.
The available runway length must be equal to or greater than the takeoff run.
The available runway length plus the available stopway must be equal to or greater than
the accelerate-stop distance.
Note: When the accelerate-stop distance is equal to the takeoff distance with an
engine failure the resulting field length is called a “balanced field length”.

The takeoff path begins 35 ft above the takeoff surface at the end of the takeoff distance
and continues to a point in the takeoff where the final segment climb speed and height of
1500 ft is reached, or, after all takeoff flight path obstacles are cleared.
The net takeoff flight path is the gross takeoff flight path reduced by 0.8 percent climb
gradient capability.
The prescribed reduction in climb gradient is applied as an equivalent reduction in
acceleration along level-off part of the takeoff flight path.

The net takeoff flight path must clear all obstacles in the takeoff area by at least 35 ft
vertically.
In this manual net flight path charts are not included because of the complexity of using
these charts in normal operations.
The takeoff data shown on “Runway weight limitations” tables however account for obstacle
clearance.
The takeoff flight path for obstacle clearance is based on the following operating
procedures:
- The airplane climbs in the second segment configuration at V2 to the altitude used
for level acceleration.
- The airplane continues accelerating in level flight to the final segment climb speed.
- The airplane climbs in the final segment configuration to the end of the takeoff flight
path.

- Third Segment.
The third segment is that portion of the flight path during which the flaps are
retracted while accelerating in level flight to the “Final Segment” climb speed.
The acceleration capability must correspond to 1.2% gross climb gradient.
The takeoff flight path profile will vary during this segment depending upon obstacle
location and height.
Flap retraction speeds have been selected to provide adequate margins above the
stall speed. The acceleration in level flight with one engine inoperative will be such
that the speed will not be less than 20 percent above the stall speed during the
retraction.
- Full altitude and temperature effects on performance are taken into account where
applicable.
- Performance charts are constructed using only 50 percent of reported headwinds
and 150 percent of reported tailwinds measured at 10 m (33 ft)

CHART PRESENTATION
Takeoff field length requirements and climb performance vary with airplane gross weight,
flap position, pressure altitude, temperature, runway slope, etc.
With so many variables to consider, several charts are required to find the maximum
allowable takeoff weight.
These charts are described bellow and are marked by a letter to simplify the description of
the method for determining the Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW).
The following flow chart shows the method to determine the MTOW, V1, VR and V2.
The landing weight shall be such as to permit the aircraft to develop following gross climb
gradients in each configuration at which go-around is foreseen:
- 2.1% in the approach configuration, with one engine inoperative, the remaining
engine takeoff power and the gear up.
- 3.2% in the landing configuration, with all engines at takeoff power and gear down.
FAR 25 approach and landing climb requirements are met all weight up to and including the
maximum landing weight of 12.500 lb and following flap configuration:
Approach
flap position 40º
Landing
flap position Full
The “Landing Distance” is the horizontal distance necessary to land and to come to a
complete stop from a point 50 ft above the runway surface.
The required “FAR/JAR Landing field length” is the demonstrate Landing Distance divided
by 0.6 (or multiply by 1.67).
- a speed equal to 1.3 times the stalling speed in the landing configuration at the 50 ft
point.
- DRY, smooth, level and hard surfaced runway
- Standard day temperature
- Brakes fully applied
- Without propeller reversing.
WET “Landing field lengths” shown on the same charts are determines by multiplying the
DRY “Landing field lengths” by factor 1.15.
Increased “Landing field lengths” for WET runway conditions must be used for dispatching
a flight to a destination airport when weather forecast for landing aerodrome are such that
runways will be wet or slippery on arrival.
The graphs and tables in this Section present performance information for takeoff, climb,
landing, and flight planning at various parameters of weight, power, altitude, and
temperature. All FAA-approved performance information is included within this Section.
Examples have been presented on al! performance graphs.
The following example presents calculations for flight time, block speed, and fuel required
for a proposed flight from Denver to Reno using the conditions listed below:
CONDITIONS
Route of Trip:
To determine the pressure altitude at origin and destination airports, add 1000 feet to field
elevation for each 1.00 in. Hg that the reported altimeter setting value is below 29.92 in.
Hg, and subtract 1000 feet for each 1.00 in. Hg above 29.92 in. Hg. First, find the
difference between 29.92 in. Hg and the reported altimeter setting. Then multiply the
answer by 1000 to find the difference in feet between field elevation and pressure altitude.
PERFORMANCE-EXAMPLE
TAKE-OFF WEIGHT
Enter the graphs at 5433 feet and 28°C to determine the maximum weight at which the
accelerate-go procedures should be attempted.
Maximum Accelerate-Go Weight {Flaps UP)........... ...................... .12,500 pounds
Maximum Accelerate-Go Weight (Flaps APPROACH).................. ..12,450 pounds
To determine the maximum take-off weight, the weight of the fuel used to reach the MEA
is added to the maximum enroute weight.
From the TIME, FUEL, AND DISTANCE TO CLlMB Graph, the time, fuel, and distance
required to climb from 5433 feet (28°C) to 18,000 f eet (-6°C) are:
Enter the MAXIMUM ENROUTE WEIGHT (FAR 135 OPERATIONS) graph at the
conditions for the worst route segment oft the trip, i.e., 0°C, 18,000 feet, and 29.75 in. Hg:
Maximum Enroute Weight to Meet FAR 135 Requirements……….12,550 pounds
Since this weight is greater than the Maximum Take-off Weight Limitation of 12,500
pounds, there is no limitation to meet FAR 135 Enroute Weight Requirements. Take-off
Weight must not exceed 12,500 pounds.
The following information has been presented to provide the option of limiting weight to
obtain the performance specifications of FAR 25 during the critical take-off and initial climb
flight segments. Their use is not mandatory and fuIl compliance with other regulations
applicable to FAR 25 is not implied.
The criteria for limiting weight involves the selection from the Take-off Weight graphs of
the most adverse conditions of:
1. One-engine-inoperative climb
2. Field length to accelerate-stop
3. Field length to accelerate-go
4. The take-off flight path required lo clear known obstacles beyond the runway
Certified performance 4.40/4

The performance presented using this criteria is predicated on the autofeather system
being armed and operable. The Ground Minimum Control Speed (Vmca) has been
determined to be 84 knots. At this speed, control within 25 feet of the runway center line is
possible.
The following example iIIustrates the procedures required to obtain a take-off weight value
using the CONDITIONS specified below,-and illustrated by the TAKE-OFF FLlGHT PATH
Diagram.
2. From the ACCELERATE-STOP Graphs, using 12,500 pounds with flaps at UP, and
12,300 pounds with flaps at APPROACH. determine that the resulting distances are
less than the runway length. Therefore, accelerate-stop is not a limiting factor.
3. From the ACCELERATE-GO Graphs, using 12,500 pounds with flaps at UP, and
12,300 pounds with flaps at APPROACH, determine that the resulting distances are
greater than the available accelerate-go distance of 6786 feet.(Refer to the TAKE-OFF
FLlGHT PATH Diagram.)
4. Using the ACCELERATE.GO Graphs, enter in reverse using the 6786 feet value and
determine the weight for which this accelerate-go distance is possible.
a. Take-off weight ot 10,650 pounds with flaps at UP
b. Take-off weight 01 11,700 pounds with flaps at APPROACH
5. Enter the TAKE-OFF FUGHT PATH Graph to determine the minimum gradient oft
climb which will result in a flight path clear of the 175-100t-high ridge 3000 feet beyond
the end of the runway. (Refer to the TAKE-OFF FLlGHT PATH Diagram above.)
a. Ridge = 175 feet AGL
b. From Reference Zero (9486 - 6786) = 2700 feet
c. Minimum gradient of Climb = 5.2%
6. Enter the NET GRADlENT OF CLlMB - FLAPS UP Graph at 10,650 pounds, and the
NET GRADIENT OF CLlMB - FLAPS APPROACH Graph at 11,700 pounds.
- Both resulting gradients are less than 5.2%.
7. Enter in reverse the NET GRADIENT OF CLlMB Graphs using the 5.2% net gradient
of climb value to determine the weights for which a climb at this value is possible.
a. Flaps UP = 9900 pounds
b. Flaps APPROACH= 9250 pounds
8. Using the weight of 9900 pounds with the 11aps at UP, and 9250 pounds with the flaps
at APPROACH, the accelerate-go distance will be shortened. This in turn will decrease
the minimum gradient of climb value required to clear the ridge. The allowable take-off
weights to meet these requirements are between 10,650 pounds and 9900 pounds with
flaps at UP, or between 11,700 pounds and 9250 pounds with the flaps at APPROACH.
Exact weight can be determined by an iterative process of assuming new weight
halfway between these weights and using the procedures outlined in Steps 3, 5, 6, 7,
and 8.

9. (Step 3 procedures): From the ACCELERATE-GO Graphs. using 10,275 pounds for flap
s at UP, and 10,475 pounds for flaps at APPROACH, the resulting distances are within the
available accelerate-go distance of 6786 feet.
a. 6100 feet with flaps at UP
b. 5050 feet with flaps at APPROACH
10. (Step 5 procedure): Enter the TAKE-OFF FLlGHT PATH Graph and adjust the
horizontal distance from Reference Zero and determine minimum gradient of climb.
a. Flaps UP - From Reference Zero (9486 - 6100) = 3386 feet
Minimum Gradient of Climb = 4.1 %
b. Flaps APPROACH - From Re1erence Zero (9486 - 5050) = 4436 1eet
Minimum Gradient of Climb = 3.2%
11. (Step 6 procedures): Enter the NET GRADIENT OF CLlMB - FLAPS UP Graph at
10,275 pounds for a 4.7% net gradient of climb. Enter the NET GRADIENT OF CLlMB -
FLAP S APPROACH Graph at 10,475 pounds for a 3.5% net gradient of climb.
a. Since these results are greater than the mínimum value, the take-off weights of
10,275 pounds with flaps at UP or 10,475 pounds with flaps at APPROACH may be
used.
b. If an exact value is required, complete the next step and repeat Steps 3, 5, 6, 7, and
8.
12. (Step 7 procedures): Enter in reverse the NET GRADIENT OF CLlMB - FLAPS UP
Graph using minimum gradient of climb of 4.1% for a take-off weight 01 10,825 pounds,
and the NET GRADIENT OF CLlMB - FLAPS APPROACH Graph using minimum
gradient of climb of 3.2% for a take-off weight of 10,550 pounds.
13. (Step 8 procedures): Use the weights of Step 8 and Step 12 to obtain a new
assumed weight.
a. Flaps UP
10,825 - 10,275 = 550 + 2 = 275 + 10,275 = 10,550 pounds
b. Flaps APPROACH
10,725 - 10,475 = 250 + 2 = 125 + 10,475 = 10,600 pounds
Use these assumed weights for second iteration.
14. After several additional iterations, the exact weights which will satisfy all the given
conditions are:
a. Flaps UP = 10,470 pounds with a 4.5% Net Gradient of Climb.
b. Flaps APPROACH = 10,625 pounds with a 3.3% Net Gradient of Climb.
The fuel quantity required for start and taxi can be added to these weights.

1. In addition to presenting the answer for a particular set of conditions, the example on
the graph also presents the order in which the various scales on the graph should be
used. For instance, jf the first item in the example is CAT, then enter the graph at the
known OAT.
2. The reference lines indicate where to begin following the guidelines. Always project to
the reference line first, then follow the guidelines to the next known ¡tem by maintaining
the same PROPORTIONAL DISTANCE between the guideline above and guideline
below the projected line. For instance, if the projected line intersects the reference line in
the ratio of 3UP down l 7UP up between the guidelines, then maintain this same
3UP/7UP relationship between the guidelines all the way to the next known item or
answer.
3. The associated conditions define the specific conditions from which performance
parameters have been determined. They are not intended to be used as instructions;
however, performance values determined from charts can only be achieved if the
specific conditions exist.
4. Indicated airspeeds (lAS) were obtained using the Airspeed Calibration – Normal System

6. Notes have been provided on various graphs and tables to approximate performance
with ice vanes extended. The effect will vary, depending upon airspeed, temperature,
altitude, and ambient conditions. At lower altitudes, where operation on the torque limit is
possible, the effect of ice vane extension will be less, depending upon how much power
can be recovered after the ice vanes have been extended.

REFUELING
Note: Refueling is not allowed with crew or passengers on board unless immediate
evacuation is assured.
When filling the airplane fuel tanks, the following procedures shall be applied:
Note: It is recommended to fill 15 l in each tip tank first in order to prevent water
accumulations on the tip tank capacity probes, which result in erratic quantity
indication.
Icing conditions exist when the OAT on ground or the OAT Inflight is º C or below
and visible moisture in any form is present. This occurs in:
Engine ice protection must be ON during all ground and flight operations when icing
conditions exist or are anticipated.
Note: Neither engine air intake lip nor prop boots are heated on ground.
Ice-Protection ………………………………………………………………………………….. ON
Place switches for engines No 1 and No 2 to ICE PROTECTION ON position and observe
the same amount in torque drop on both engines up to 250 lbs ft. Check LEFT and RIGHT

ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION Rev. 00
Pitot heat must be on during all ground and flight operations when icing conditions exist or
are anticipated.
Cautions:
- The airplane is not approved for flight in know icing conditions at temperatures
below –30ºC
- At cruise speed in visible precipitation at very low temperatures (below –30ºC)
the stall-warning vane will pack with ice, rending it inoperative.
Windshield heat must be on during all ground and flight operations when icing conditions
exist or are anticipated.
Operation Check
When icing conditions are anticipated or if proper operation is in doubt check the system.
Note: Ice build-up is noticeable by a slightly slower response to roll inputs and a
significant increase in power required to maintain a specific cruise speed.
Caution: Do not cycle boots with less than 0,5 to 1 cm of accumulation. Continuous
cycling of boots during some type of ice encounters may result in failure to remove
ice.
Operation of deicer boots below –40ºC is not approved.
Note: Stall speed is higher when ice has accumulated on the airplane due to
distortion of the wing airfoil and a higher airplane weight. Keep a reasonable margin
of airspeed above the normal stall speed with ice on the airplane.

ADVERSE WEATHER Rev. 00
Airplane operation in adverse weather conditions present’s additional problems due to the
effects of extreme temperatures, slippery runways with crosswinds, contaminated
runways, and extreme turbulence. The following additional instructions are intended to
supplement the normal operating procedures and should be observed when applicable.
The problems associated with cold weather operation are primarily those concerned with
low temperatures and with ice and snow on the airplane, ramps, taxiways and runways.
The majority of operating difficulties are encountered in the ground. The main effect in
avoiding icing problems is the complete de-icing and the usage of an ice protection fluid.
De-/anti-icing procedures have been established based on AEA (Association of European
Airlines) recommendations.
Generally de-/anti-icing is performed at the last possible time prior to taxi to takeoff
position; If, however, an earlier de-/anti-icing is performed in the line of an established
sequence, this may be performed provided due consideration is taken in regard to the
duration of holdover times under prevailing meteorological conditions.
RESPONSIBILITY
DEFINITIONS
De-icing: De-icing is a procedure by which frost, ice or snow is removed from the airplane.
To preserve holdover time the process should be continuous and as short as
possible. The de-icing agent is applied preferably in a hot state, to assure
maximum efficiency.
Supplementary Procedures 7.50/2
AL200 MCC
Beech 200
ADVERSE WEATHER Rev. 00
Anti-icing: The anti-icing is a precautionary measure, which prevents frost, ice or snow to
from or accumulate on so protected surfaces of an airplane.
HOLDOVER TIME
Holdover time is the estimated time anti-icing fluid will prevent frost, ice or snow to form or
accumulate on the protected surfaces of an airplane, under average weather conditions
mentioned in the guidelines for holdover times.
Caution: The time of protection will be shortened in heavy conditions. High wind
velocity (AEA Type I fluids only) and jet blast may be cause a degradation of the
protective film. If these conditions occur the time of protection can be shortened
considerably.
Note: The beginning of the holdover time is defined as the average value of start
and end de-/anti-icing.

Attitude
Flying under extremely turbulent conditions requires techniques, which may be contrary to
a pilot’s natural reactions. Rapid and large aileron control inputs are permissible to hold
the wings level, but in extreme turbulence pitch attitude must be controlled using only
small to moderate elevator control inputs to avoid over controlling or overstressing airplane
structure. The natural stability of the airplane will work in a direction to minimize the loads
imposed by turbulence.
Power
A power setting is desired which will provide level flight at the recommended penetration
speed in smooth air. For a speed of 177 kts IAS as recommended for the AL-200 as a
maximum this power setting is approximately 950 ft lbs. Once this power setting is
achieved, it is generally undesirable to make power changes during severe turbulence.
Altitude
Because of the strong updrafts and downdrafts in severe turbulence regions, large
variations in altitude are almost certain to occur. Too much concern about these variations
will merely lead to excessive control inputs causing large g-loads and unwanted airspeed
excursions. Altitude should be allowed to vary within reasonable limits.
Autopilot
The autopilot maintains the airplane in trimmed condition at all times, and immediately
counteracts any attitude changes which are undesirable in severe turbulence.
Procedure Summary
1. Seat Belts – TURN ON the fasten seat belt sign and fasten seat belts and shoulder
harnesses.
2. Airspeed – Maximum 177 kts (up to an altitude of 20.000 ft). Above 20.000 ft reduce
airspeed by 2 kts / 1.000 ft. Severe turbulence will cause large and often rapid
variations in indicated airspeed. DO NOT CHASE AIRSPEED.
3. Autopilot – basic Modes
MANUAL FLYING:
4. Attitude – Maintain wings level and smoothly control pitch attitude. Use attitude
indicator as the primary instrument. In extreme drafts, large attitude changes may
occur. DO NOT USE SUDDEN LARGE ELEVATOR CONTROL INPUTS.
5. Pitch Trim – maintain control of the airplane with the elevators. After establishing
the trim setting for penetration speed, DO NOT CHANGE ELEVATOR TRIM.
6. Altitude – Allow altitude to vary. Large altitude variations are possible in severe
turbulence. Sacrifice altitude in order to maintain the desired attitude and airspeed.
DO NOT CHASE ALTITUDE.
7. Power – Make an initial power setting of approximately 950 ft lbs for a target speed
of 177 KIAS.
8. Flaps – Do not extended.
9. Flights in severe Turbulence must be entered in the Maintenance Log Book.

DESCRIPTION Rev. 00
INTRODUCTION
By approval of the MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LIST (MEL), the DGAC permits dispatch of the
airplane for revenue and training flights with certain items or components inoperative
provided an acceptable level of safety is maintained by appropriate operation, by a transfer
of the function to another operating component, or by reference to other instruments or
components providing the required information.
Note: The provisions of the MEL are applicable until the airplane commences the
flight. The flight crew taking into account the MEL shall carefully assess failures
occurring between “Off Blocks and Brake Release” and all other relevant factors
related to the intended flight.
CONTENTS OF MEL
The MEL contains only those items of airworthiness significance, which may be
inoperative prior to dispatch, provided limitations, and appropriate procedures are
observed.
Equipment obviously not required for safe operation of the airplane such as galley
equipment, passenger convenience items, etc, is not listed.
Before dispatching an airplane with multiple MEL items inoperative, it must be checked
that any interface or interrelationship between inoperative items will not result in
degradation in the level of safety and/or an undue increase in crew workload. It is
particularly in this area of multiple discrepancies and especially discrepancies in related
systems, that good judgment, based on the circumstances of the case including climatic
and enroute conditions must be used.
Minimum Equipment List 9.10/2
AL200 MCC
Beech 200
DESCRIPTION Rev. 00
MAINTENANCE ACTION
Every effort shall be made by maintenance to correct all technical irregularities as early as
practicable and that the airplane be released from maintenance base in fully operational
condition. The decision of the PIC to comply with the appropriate MEL requirement and to
postpone maintenance activity will supersede any other intention. The captain must be
informed by maintenance as soon as practicable, should it be impossible to repair the
inoperative item prior to departure.
Whenever an airplane is released by maintenance for dispatch with items inoperative, the
following is required:
The technical log book (TBL) aboard the airplane must contain a detailed description of the
inoperative item(s), special advice to the flight crew, if necessary, information about
corrective action taken.
When they are accessible to the crew in flight, the control(s) and/or indicator(s) related to
inoperative unit(s) or component(s) must be clearly placarded.
FERRY FLIGHTS
Ferry flights may be dispatches with less than the equipment specified in this MEL provided
all the equipment expected to be utilized in flight is operable. The permission for such a
flight, however, must be request from the MEL Control Board.
DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of these regulations the following definitions shall apply:
2) DAY operation is any flight conducted from the point of takeoff to landing between 30
minutes before sunrise and 30 minutes after sunset.
3) Icing Condition – the atmospheric environment is such that ice can form on the
airplane or in the engine.
4) Inoperative – any time a system and/or component malfunctions to the extent that is
does not accomplish is intended purpose and/or is not consistently functioning within
its designed operation limit(s) or tolerance(s).

PREFACE
This section is a pictorials summary and discussion of the training presented in the
simulator and airplane phases. It provides you with a quick reference summary of operating
procedures and training maneuvers for the AL200 Beech 200 airplane.
Conditions beyond the control of the flight crew may preclude following an illustrated
maneuver exactly. The maneuvers are not intended to replace good judgment and logic.
During training the maneuver will be accomplished as illustrated. However, due to conflict
traffic at training airports, ATC traffic separation requirements, and radar vector advisories,
modifications may be necessary.
In order to present optimum training effect to the student for the jet airplane to be flown
after AL-200 training, the procedures are adjusted to jet performance, although turbo-prop
performance would have made different procedures necessary.
PREFLIGHT PROCEDURES
Dispatch
Check NOTAMS, weather, file Flight Plan, and check airplane loading. Coordinate fuel
loading if necessary. Inform perations about your departure. Make the necessary entries
at dispatch.
TAXIING
After completing a turn, and before stopping, straighten the nose wheel, relieving tire and
structural twisting stresses.
At idle power, the airplane may accelerate to higher taxi speed than desired. Do not ride the
brakes to prevent high taxi speed. Allow the airplane to accelerate, and then use idle
reverse smoothly to slow down, release reverse smoothly and repeat the sequence.

NORMAL OPERATION Rev. 01
General
Takeoff characteristics of Turbo-prop airplanes are somewhat different from those of
piston engine types. The acceleration of piston engine airplanes decreases during takeoff
run, whereas a Turbo-prop exhibits a nearly constant acceleration. The AL200 Beech 200
needs a more pronounced rotation and a steeper body angle during climb out.
The normal takeoff is usually performed as a noise abatement takeoff. Therefore, in this
section the noise abatement takeoff is described as normal takeoff.
Takeoff Roll
The normal takeoff roll from static position is normal for training flights. When the takeoff
roll is started with brake release, keep the airplane on centerline with rudder pedal
steering. Due to power asymmetry, right rudder input is required.
Note: Caution is required when parking brake is set after the airplane has entered the
take off runway.
Rolling takeoffs are performed without stopping on the runway. As the airplane rolls onto
the runway, smoothly advance the throttles to 800 ft lbs to allow the engines to stabilize
and proceed as above.
On a normal take-off, to counteract the pitch up moment during thrust application, apply
forward pressure for a smooth riding nose wheel at the start of the take-off roll until
reaching 60 kt.
Once the thrust levers are set, the CM1 checks that the thrust is set by 60 kt, and calls
"TAKE OFF POWER SET".
The “SEVENTY KNOTS” call by the CM1 requires the CM2 to crosscheck speed on his
instrument and respond “CHECK”. This response also serves as an incapacitation check.
The CM1 calls ”V1". At V1, the Captain removes his hand from the thrust levers. The CM1
calls “ROTATE”.
At the thrust reduction altitude, select the thrust levers to 1900 RPM TQ 2000. The PF will
have to pitch down depends on the amount of thrust decrease.
Acceleration Altitude
At the acceleration altitude, accelerate the aircraft and select flaps 0%.The minimum
speed for moving the flap lever to 0% is 130 kts. The PM positively cross checks that the
speed is above the minimum before moving the flap lever. Then accelerate to 160 kt.
Once the aircraft is in the clean configuration and workload permits, PF call for the After
Take-off checklist
Crosswind Takeoff
The student pilot should preset aileron into the wind. Maintain a crosswind correction until
after liftoff as required to hold the wings level. Use rudder to stay on centerline.
During rotation hold the control wheel and rudder in the displaced position to keep the
wings level during liftoff. The airplane is in a sideslip with crossed controls at this point. A
slow, smooth recovery from this sideslips is accomplished after liftoff.
Procedures and Techniques 10.20/5
AL200 MCC
Beech 200
NORMAL OPERATION Rev. 00
CRUISE
Caution: To prevent unwanted roll at autopilot disconnected, do not apply aileron trim
with the autopilot engaged.
Level the wings with the control wheel, using bank reference on the attitude indicator,
natural horizon or a combination of both. DO NOT TRIM.
With wings held level, check the ball. Center the ball with smooth rudder application and
apply rudder trim to relive rudder pedal force.
Trim off wheel force with aileron trim. The wheel should be approximately centered for a
normal airplane.
Engage autopilot.
NAV Setting
To reduce work load, it is desirable to use all facilities the AL-200 NAV system offers.
Following basic NAV setup is recommended:
Additional Settings:
EHSI CRS 2-3 NM before VOR / WAYPOINT select next desired course (previously
select HDG mode on F/D)
DME DME-HOLD for airport DME during approach only.
DESCENT
Speed Schedule
Normal Descent: 1.500 FPM and VMO – 10 KIAS above 15.000 ft
1.100 FPM and 220 KIAS from 15.000 ft to 10.000 ft
1.000 FPM and 160 KIAS from 10.000 ft to IAF
Enroute Descent
Maintain cruise altitude till the proper Top of Descent (TOD) (distance/or time out) for the
planned descent is reached. Then descend according to the selection airspeed schedule.
If possible plan for a continuous descent approach (CDA). To determine the top of descent
calculate the track miles to the airport including the desired approach procedure for the
runway in use. Calculations should be based on a 3º glide path angle.
VISUAL APPROACH
Procedures and Techniques 10.20/9
AL200 MCC
Beech 200
NORMAL OPERATION Rev. 00
VISUAL APPROACH
General
The recommended landing approach path appr. 2½ º to 3º is based on the instrument
landing system (ILS). Once the final approach is established, the airplane configuration
remains fixed and only small adjustments need to be made to stay on glide path, approach
speed and trim. This results in the same approach profile nearly under all conditions.
Power
The throttles must be thought of as a primary speed control in coordination with elevator to
control attitude, rate of descent, and approach profile. When on final keep one hand on the
throttles. This will result in automatic reaction to small power requirements and no large
changes should be necessary except when performing a go-around. No reduction is
required when extending landing gear or when extending flaps to 40% or Full. On final
when prop is set to high RPM, the resulting torque drop has to be adjusted for by a slight
power increase.
Final Approach
Mentally determine the target airspeed suitable for existing conditions. Allow airspeed to
decrease to target speed. Make power changes as required to hold target speed and the
desired rate of descent.
Retrim the elevator to maintain zero elevator force on final. Stabilize the airplane on the
selected approach airspeed with a constant rate of descent 600 ft/min on the desired glide
path, in trim.
For a normal straight in approach, the landing configuration (gear down and Full flaps) is
established early on final approach (at above 1.000 ft AGL)
Stabilize on VTGT and descent profile with airplane in trim.
High, low, or offset corrections should be made as early in the approach as possible, in
order to be in stabilized condition through the last 1.000 ft of the approach.
Maintain a constant glide path profile and proper rate of descent coordinating pitch attitude
with power changes.
Procedures and Techniques 10.20/10
AL200 MCC
Beech 200
NORMAL OPERATION Rev. 00
INSTRUMENT APPROACH
General
All instrument approaches require certain basics in common. These are good descent
planning, careful review of the IAL chart, accurate flying and good crew coordination.
The APPROACH checklist should be completed prior starting the instrument approach due
to workload considerations.
The target speed is the speed that should be flown when in landing configuration.
The recommended approach speed wind correction is ½ the steady wind plus all of the gust
value, based on tower reported winds. The maximum wind correction should not exceed 20
knots.
It is recognized that the actual wind encountered on the approach may vary from that
reported by the tower due to terrain or weather related factors. However, unless actual
conditions are know, i.e. reported wind shears or know terrain induced turbulence areas, it
can be considered reasonable for convenience of operation and to avoid additional cockpit
workload to adjust the approach speed by the “1/2 steady wind plus gust factor” values
as reported by the tower. Wind corrections are made for any steady wind in the forward
180º arc (+90 on each side of the runway heading).
When the wind is reported calm or light and variable, and no wind shear exists, VREF + 5
knots is the recommended target speed on final, bleeding off the 5 knots as the airplane
approaches threshold.

PRECISION APPROACH
General
Flight patterns and procedures as given on preceding pages may be modified to suit local
traffic and ATC requirements.
Raw Data
The EHSI is the primary navigational instrument used during a raw data ILS approach. All
ILS navigational references are displayed on the EHSI. The airplane is maneuvered so as
to place the symbolic airplane on the center of the EHSI. The course deviation bar will
represent the ILS localizer inbound magnetic course is selected using the course selector.
When inbound in the procedure turn, the localizer intercept angle can be easily determined
by the relationship of the symbolic airplane to the course deviation bar. Keep the nose of
the symbolic airplane pointed to the top of the course deviation bar. This will place the
airplane on the correct intercept angle.
The bearing to the locator beacon/VOR on final shows the position, at which you will
intercept, the localizer. So, when vectored, x-check the bearing pointer and adjust the
intercept angle if necessary.
Localizer
As the course deviation bar starts to center, bank the airplane to keep the nose of the
symbolic airplane pointed to the top of the course deviation bar. This technique will provide
a very smooth intercept and roll out on course. In a strong crosswind it will be necessary to
adjust the heading a few degrees into the wind. After capture, keep the localizer deviation
bar centered.
When tracking inbound, only small bank angles up to 10º will be required to stay on the
localizer.
General
During approaches and departures, a DME arc is sometimes flown around the station at a
specific distance
Arc Interceptions
The arc will be intercepted from a radial, inbound or outbound at a specific DME indication
(Distance of Lead).
1 NM (≤ 180 KT)
DOL 0 DME Arc +/- (X) NM X = 1,5 NM ( ≤ 210 KT)
2 NM (≤ 250 KT)
Initiate the turn at DOL and monitor the RMI indication, to roll out 5º before wingtip position
is reached.
Maintaining Arcs
Maintain heading until RMI indication has changed by 10º (5º behind wingtip position). Turn
towards the station to place the bearing pointer again 5º ahead of the wingtip position.
Distance Correction
Under wind conditions an additional heading change is necessary to correct the offset.
For each 0,5 NM deviation away from the desired arc turn 10º towards the station. If the
offset is towards the station maintain heading until the correct distance is reached.
Note: Depending on size of the arc, ground speed, airplane position, position
relatively to the arc, etc. the rates of deviation will change. Vary the amount of
correction accordingly.

NORMAL OPERATION Rev. 00
General
Common non-precision approaches are based on VOR, NDB, ILS w/o GP or SRE, at most
airfields combined with a DME station.
At the FAF, set the Go Around Altitude on ALTITUDE ALERT and start your final descent
with the pre-calculated rate of descent.
Note: If DME is not available calculate your ROD by 5 x GS prior starting the
approach.
Check your rate of descent by using the GS Mode on the DME indicator. Try to establish a
continuous descent following the nominal glide path down to MDA. Use DME for descent
control (1 NM/300 ft)
When visual contact can be established early enough to execute a normal approach, leave
MDA for landing, otherwise initiate GA/MA upon reaching MAPt.
Estimate a point on the extended centerline of the landing runway halfway from runway,
and use this as a point-of-aim. Steer towards this points, maintaining TGT and way, and
descent profile, avoiding large bank angles. Start a rollout onto the centerline of the
runway when passing extended runway edge line. This is necessary to compensate the
airplane’s turn-radius.
General
The published instrument approach procedure shall be followed down to the circling
altitude, using circling configuration, (i.e. Gear down, flaps 40%, final checklist read to
flaps).
At MDA, with the runway in sight, turn 45º when level off, start time, after 30 seg, turn
downwind heading.
Drift correction on downwind will be necessary ; position abeam landing threshold must be
checked visually.
The downwind extension is 3 sec per 100 ft circling height above aerodrome minus ½ TWC
in sec for wind compensation prior turning base.
Target of pattern arrangement on base leg is to achieve a standard final descent with a
minimum of controls inputs.
From a point 90º relative to runway heading the remaining flight time to touchdown is 60
seconds, which would require an average sink rate in the range of 600 to 900 ft/min. Final
flap selection is performed prior to start of descent to allow for proper speed reduction
without significant change of power setting.
If sight of the aerodrome is lost for more than few seconds, or if adequate visual reference
to the ground cannot be maintained, or if a safe landing cannot be performed, the pilot shall
join the missed approach procedure for the instrument runway.
If required, make initial climbing turn towards the runway. Remain within the circling area
until obstacles are cleared, and contact ATC. (Doc. 8168 ICAO)

NORMAL OPERATION Rev. 00
NORMAL LANDING
Final
Passing 50 ft height, reduce power smoothly, slowly lift the airplane nose. This gradually
decreases rate of descent. Take advantage of the ground effect and bleed off speed.
As the airplane approach the touchdown point, throttle should be retarded to idle and
maintain the descent profile to touchdown. Landing flare should be performed by use of
steady elevator input.
Note: Over controlling or oscillating elevator and trim lead to a bounced landing
Do not trim for touchdown. Combined elevator and trim inputs might lead to over
controlling.
Landing Roll
Use rudder to hold the airplane on centerline. Displacing the aileron into the wind will assist
in directional control. The aileron and rudder controls are effective down to approximately
60 kts.
Expect an extreme weather vaning effect crosswind conditions
Reverse Power
After touchdown immediately lower the nose by pushing the control wheel forward.
Note: The reverse lockout system prevents reverse power application while
airborne by nose and/or left main gear switch actuation.
CROSSWIND LANDINGS
“Crab” and “Sideslip”
After passing threshold, change smoothly from “crab” to the “sideslip” method (low wing).
Touchdown may be made with the upwind wheel touching down first. Thereafter, lower the
downwind and nose wheel. Then hold the required aileron into the wind and increase
deflection as speed decreases.
Brakes
Optimum braking is achieved with the airplane weight equally distributed on the wheels.
Reverse Power
On a slippery runway reverse power and a crosswind can drive the airplane off centerline.
Once the airplane veers into the wind the reverse power component force adds to the
crosswind component force and aids in skidding the airplane off the runway. To correct this,
reset all engines to idle power and return to centerline. Use differential braking as
necessary. After turning to centerline use symmetrical reverse power and brakes as
necessary.

NORMAL OPERATION Rev. 00
During training, a bounced landing might occur. A bounced landing will not be performed
deliberately. This section is intended for discussion only.
Recovery
Hold or re-establish normal landing attitude and add power as necessary to control the rate
of descent. If only a shallow bounce (skip) occurs, do not increase power.
Do not push over, as this will only cause another bounce and possibly damage the nose
gear.
Do not increase the pitch attitude above normal as this only increases the height of the
bounce and may cause entry into a stall. This results in a second hard touchdown. As the
airplane touches down the second time, use the normal landing procedures.
If a hard high bounce occurs and excessive runway is used, a go-around is mandatory.
Apply go-around power and use normal go-around procedures. A second touchdown may
occur during the go-around.
Caution: Do not retract the landing gear until a positive rate of climb is established.
Discussion
Poor approaches will often result in poor landings.
A smooth touchdown can occasionally be made out of a poor approach. However, good
landings are made consistently only from proper approach.
Hard or bounced landings are generally made from high approaches at higher than normal
rate of descent with excessive and/or late rotation. Plan ahead and monitor the approach
angle so that steeping the glide path is not necessary.
If the airplane is below the glide path, any excessive speed above VREF must be used to
bring the airplane back into the slot by raising the nose and allowing the speed to reduce
towards VREF. Add power as necessary to prevent the airspeed from dropping below
VREF.
When approaching high on glide slope, extra airspeed above VREF must be maintained.
This combined with an early and smooth rotation should result in a smooth landing. This
sequence requires very good judgment of the amount of excessive speed and height at
which to start the rotation. Any error results in a poor landing. Steep approaches are not
recommended. Intercept the normal glide path and establish a normal approach.
A normal approach in conjunction with an early rotation might result in a hard but rarely
bounced landing.

EMERG. & ABNORMAL OPERATION Rev. 00
IN PREPARATION
It is recommended to move the throttle of the “dead engine” parallel to the throttle of the
operative engine to avoid flying with the deactivated throttle related gear warning system.
Airplane response
If an engine failure occurs on the ground during takeoff, yaw is the first noticeable airplane
reaction. In flight, roll towards the failed engine is the first indication of an asymmetric
condition. In instrument flight conditions, roll (resulting from yaw) is usually the first
noticeable airplane response.
Pilot Reaction
Any engine failure should trigger the same sequence of actions. Apply aileron and rudder to
counter the power asymmetry, center the ball, control flight path and airspeed. After the
airplane is stabilized and trimmed, accomplish the appropriate engine failure procedure.
Rudder Trim
Lateral control requires high rudder pedals forces by the pilot. The proper way to apply trim
is to hold constant rudder pedal displacement and trim until pedal forces are reduced.
Objective
The objective of this maneuver is to train the pilot in the recognition of engine failure and
the recommended procedures and techniques for control.
Procedure
As introductory exercise for one engine out establish a speed in clean configuration and
level flight. When established reduce power on one engine to 150 ft-lbs. The PF shall now
maintain at least minimum clean speed, heading and altitude by applying power to
remaining engine and rudder input. To demonstrate correct rudder input, the PF shall hold
the altitude with elevator control and the heading with rudder.

EMERG. & ABNORMAL OPERATION Rev. 00
To demonstrate the effect of changes in power and airspeed on the required rudder
deflection extended flaps and gear according schedule down to approach speed.
Increasing power at a constant speed requires more rudder deflection and vice versa.
Increasing speed with a constant power setting requires less rudder deflection and vice versa.
After Liftoff
With an engine inoperative, the initial climb attitude of approx. 4º pitch up will result in a
speed near V2 after liftoff. Indicated airspeed is the primary reference for pitch control,
consequently, the initial climb attitude should be immediately adjusted to maintain V2. If an
engine failure occurs prior to V2, accelerate to V2 and maintain up to 1.000 ft AGL.
If an engine failure occurs between V2 and V2 + 10 kts, maintain speed reached at time of
the engine failure. If an engine failure occurs at a speed higher than V2 + 10 kts, increase
pitch attitude to reduce speed to and maintain V2 + 10 kts up to level off height.

EMERGENCY DESCENT
Loss of cabin pressure will be indicated by a rapid increase in cabin altitude. In severe
cases, unaccustomed noise, fogging due to rapid cooling of the air, ear distress and an
outrushing of air in the lungs will be noticeable. When the cabin altitude exceeds
approximately 11.500 ft, the cabin altitude warning will illuminate.
The most critical need after a depressurization in oxygen. At 25.000 ft, following a rapid
decompression, the crew has about 2-4 minutes time of useful consciousness.
The autopilot may be engaged while donning the oxygen masks. After oxygen masks are
on, and communications are established, determine the cause of pressure loss, if possible.
Pilots must be familiar with the entire procedure. The success of this maneuver depends to
a great extend upon the crew’s ability to communicate and coordinate while wearing an
oxygen mask.
If structural integrity is in doubt, limit speed as much as possible, preferably at or below the
existing speed at the time of the problem and avoid high maneuvering loads.
PM will re-check minimum enroute altitude (MEA) or minimum grid altitude (MGA). Notify
ATC. If necessary, obtain altimeter setting and call out altitudes approaching level off.
At approximately 2.000 ft above level off altitude, smoothly raise the nose of the airplane to
reduce the rate of descent to approximately 2.500 fpm. At 1.000 ft above set power to
approx. 250 ft lbs. Perform normal level off. As speed decreases to 181 kts raise gear, if
extended, and apply power as necessary to continue the desired flight profile.
Do not remove the crew oxygen masks if cabin altitude remains above 13.000 ft.
Determine new course of action based on weather, oxygen, fuel remaining and available
airport. Obtain new ATC clearance.

CABIN DOOR
CAUTION
Structural damage may occur if more than one person is present on the airstair cabin
door at one time. The door is weight limited to 300 pounds.
An airstair cabin door, hinged at the bottom, provides a stairway, for normal and emergency
entrance and exit. Refer to Figure 2-8. In the closed position, the door becomes an integral
part of the cargo door. The cabin door is provided with steps, two of which fold flat against
the door in the closed position. A step folds down over the doorsill when the door opens to
provide a platform (step) for door seal protection.
A plastic-encased cable provides a handhold and support for the door in the open
position and a convenience for closing the door from inside. R Two plastic-encased cables
provide a handhold and support for the door in the open position and a convenience for
closing the door from inside.
A hydraulic damper permits the door to lower gradually during opening. A rubber seal
around the door seals the pressure vessel while the aircraft is in flight. The door locking
mechanism is by either of the two mechanically interconnected handles, one inside and
the other outside the door. When either handle is rotated, three rotating cam-type latches on
either side of the door capture posts mounted on the cargo door.
A button adjacent to the door handle must be pressed before the handle can be rotated to
open the door. A bellows behind the button is inflated when the aircraft is pressurized to
prevent accidental unlatching and/or opening of the door. A placard adjacent to the window
instructs the operator that the safety lock arm is in position around the bellows shaft that
indicates a properly locked door. Pushing the red button adjacent to the window will
illuminate the inside door mechanism. T3
A DOOR UNLOCKED annunciator on the caution/advisory panel will illuminate if the door
is not closed and all latches fully locked.
A DOOR UNLOCKED warning light on the caution/advisory panel will illuminate if the door
is not closed and all latches fully locked. The cabin door opening is 21.5 inches wide by 46.0
inches high
CARGO DOOR.
A swing-up cargo door, hinged at the top, provides access for loading cargo or bulky items.
Refer to Figure 2-8. The cargo door opening is 52.0 inches wide by 52.0 inches high. After
initial opening force is applied, gas springs will completely open the cargo door
automatically. The door is counter-balanced and will remain in the open position.
A door support rod is used to hold the door in the open position, and to aid in overcoming
the pressure of the gas spring assemblies when closing the door. Once closed, the gas
springs apply a closing force to assist in latching the door. A rubber seal around the door
seals the pressure vessel while in flight. The door locking mechanism is operated only from
inside the aircraft, and is operated by two handles, one in the bottom forward portion of the

door and the other in the upper aft portion of the door. When the upper aft handle is
operated per placard instructions, cam-type latches (two on the forward side of the door and
two on the aft side) rotate, capturing posts mounted on the fuselage side of the door
opening. The bottom handle, when operated per placard instructions, actuates four
pin-lug latches across the bottom of the door. A button on the upper aft handle must be
pressed before the handle can be released to open or latch the door. A latching lever on the
bottom handle must be lifted to release the handle before the lower latches can be
opened. These act as additional aids in preventing accidental opening or unlatching of the
door. The cabin and cargo doors are equipped with dual sensing circuits to provide the crew
with remote indication of cabin/cargo door security.
An annunciator, placarded DOOR UNLOCKED, will illuminate if the cabin or cargo door is
open and the battery switch is on. If the battery switch is off, the annunciator will illuminate
only if the cabin/cargo door is not securely closed and latched. The cabin/cargo door
sensing circuit receives power from the hot battery bus.

Beech 200 AUTOMATIC FLIGHT
Rev. 00
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT
The autopilot is a 3-axis system with flight director and yaw damper. The flight director can
be active without the autopilot.
Flight Director
The flight director is engaged by means of the push buttons on the autopilot control panel
situated on the pedestal:
FLT
The flight director offers visual information on the attitude indicator, which helps the pilot to
guide the aircraft.
The flight director’s guidance bars can be displayed either as a cross or as an inverted V.
Which mode is active depends on the setting in the instructor station’s “Aircraft Window”.
Depending on which mode has been selected, the flight director works slightly differently:
In mode V-bars, pushing FLT DIR displays information in the form of orange bars that helps
the pilot to maintain the aircraft’s current state, i. e. heading and altitude or vertical speed.
You need to keep the orange triangle that symbolizes the aircraft just under the FD’s
guidance bars to maintain the current state.
Automatic Flight
In mode crossbars, pushing FLT DIR only prepares the system. You need to push ALT to
display the horizontal line that gives pitch information. If you push HDG SEL the vertical line
for heading information will be displayed as well. So, in order to have the complete cross,
FLT DIR, ALT and HDG SEL need to be engaged.
Autopilot
• Switch DOWN/UP for the autopilot’s pitch trim: This switch allows you to change the
aircraft’s pitch attitude with the autopilot engaged. If the autopilot is in altitude maintain
(ALT) mode, you need to disengage this mode before using the trim switch.
• Push buttons for setting the autopilot’s modes (see next section.)
Autopilot Modes When one of the modes is being engaged, an aural signal will sound. When
a mode is active, the corresponding push button on the pedestal is illuminated and there will
be an indicator above the attitude indicator.
This is the complete indicators’ panel:
• AP: This button activates the autopilot (AP) as well as FD and yaw damper (YD) if they
have not been active before. If no other mode is engaged, the AP will maintain the current
pitch attitude and the wings level.
• HDG SEL: In heading select mode the autopilot searches and follows the heading set with
the orange heading bug on the HSI. To use heading select mode, set the heading bug to the
desired heading, then engage AP (if not yet active) and HDG SEL. You can also set the bug
with the AP engaged.
Airplane systems
AL200 MCC
Beech 200 AUTOMATIC FLIGHT
Rev. 00
• ALT: In altitude maintain mode the autopilot keeps the aircraft on its current altitude. To
use it, bring the aircraft manually (or, if AP engaged, by means of the pitch trim switch)
to the desired altitude, then activate AP (if not yet the case) and ALT. The autopilot will
maintain the altitude at which the aircraft is when ALT mode is engaged.
• APPR: In approach mode the autopilot follows an ILS’s localizer and glideslope. Use it as
follows:
• VS: This mode maintains the vertical speed which you have set either manually or by
means of the autopilot’s pitch trim switch. The autopilot will maintain the vertical speed at
which the aircraft is when VS mode is engaged.
• NAV: In NAV mode the autopilot follows a VOR signal. Use it as follows:
o Set the VOR frequency on one of the NAVs and verify that the autopilot is connected
to the HSI which is connected to this NAV.
o Search the VOR by means of the course pointer on the HSI and set the heading bug
in the desired position.
o Engage the AP, mode HDG and NAV. NAV ARM will illuminate.
o When the VOR signal has been captured, HDG disengages (if engaged before), NAV
o ARM will disappear and NAV CPLD illuminate.
• IAS: In IAS mode the autopilot maintains the aircraft’s current speed (the aircraft’s speed
at the moment of IAS mode engagement).
When one of the modes is being engaged, an aural signal will sound.
Altitude Selector The altitude selector system offers a second method for choosing an
altitude to maintain (in addition to the autopilot panel’s ALT button).
Above the pilot’s altimeter and above the copilot’s airspeed indicator there is an altitude
selector button (marked ALTITUDE SELECT). The altitude arm button (unmarked push
button) is right next to it.
ALTITUDE SELECT
The altitude selected with the altitude selector button is displayed in digital form on the
central panel.
Airplane systems
AL200 MCC
Beech 200 AUTOMATIC FLIGHT
Rev. 00
In order to have the autopilot maintain the selected altitude, turn the altitude selector button
until the display shows the desired value. Then push the altitude arm button. The ALT ARM
annunciator will illuminate. Adjust the aircraft’s pitch attitude in such a way that it aims
towards the selected altitude. When the selected altitude is reached, the aircraft will level out
and remain at this altitude. The ALT HOLD annunciator will be lit.
• Position 2: The messages are transmitted through the frequency selected on COM2.
This is shown by a “T” that appears above the display’s decimal point when a PTT
switch is pushed.
• Position off: Turns off the microphone - there is no “T” on either COM display when a
PTT switch is pushed.
• SPK: This button has no effect. (In an aircraft, with the switch in position OFF, the
messages or morse codes chosen with the next switches would be transmitted only in the
headsets and not on the speakers.)
The next switches serve to choose which message or morse code is heard in the cockpit.
• COM1: This button has no effect. (In an aircraft, with the switch on COM 1, the messages
received on the COM 1 frequency could be heard.)
• COM2: This button has no effect. (In an aircraft, with the switch on COM 2, the messages
received on the COM 2 frequency could be heard.)
• NAV1: When set on NAV1 the morse code of the beacon selected on NAV1 can be heard.
• NAV2: When set on NAV2 the morse code of the beacon selected on NAV2 can be heard.
• DME1 and DME2: When set on DME1/2 the morse code of the beacon selected by means
of the DME three-position toggle switch can be heard. As there is only one DME receiver
simulated, both switches have the same effect.
• ADF1: When set on ADF the morse code of the beacon selected on the ADF can be
heard.

A fire extinguisher is simulated for each engine. The buttons are located on the overhead
panel. In order to prevent indadvertent use of the extinguishers, the buttons are protected by
a plastic cover which needs to be lifted before pushing the button.
Once a fire extinguisher has been used, it becomes inoperative and the corresponding
annunciator will illuminate on the warning panel.
The second fire extinguisher will always discharge into the same engine as the first one.

FLIGHT CONTROLS
The Aircraft is equipped with wheel, stick and pedals for both pilot and copilot. The systems
are interconnected.
Wheel Turning the wheel controls roll (i. e. the simulated aircraft’s movement about the
longitudinal axis).
On the wheel there are buttons for disconnecting the autopilot (red) and starting, stopping,
resetting the stopwatch (black) as well the electric pitch trim switch. On the wheel’s back
there is the PTT(push to talk) — the transmission switch for the communications system.
The picture below shows the pilot’s wheel — the copilot’s wheel is its mirror image.
Stick
Moving the stick for and aft controls pitch (i. e. the simulated aircraft’s movement about the
lateral axis). Pushing the stick forward lowers the simulated aircraft’s nose, pulling the wheel
back raises it.
Pedals
The pedals control the simulated aircraft’s rudder and thus its yaw (movement about the
vertical axis) when the aircraft is in the air. On ground the pedals control nose wheel
steering.
The wheel brakes are activated by pressing the upper part of the pedal with one’s toes.

FUEL SYSTEM
In the AL200 Beech 200 MCC the fuel system consists of the left and right tank which are
monitored by one fuel quantity gauge, the fuel totaliser, the fuel flow and fuel pressure
gauges, the fuel selector switches and the electric fuel pump switches.
The left-hand fuel system and the right-hand fuel system are independent of each other but
can be connected by means of the crossfeed switch. Unless this is done, each system feeds
the corre-sponding engine.
The fuel tanks are filled by means of the instructor station’s “Aircraft Window”.
The fuel gauge on the central panel shows the amount of fuel in the
tanks. It is devided in two dials, one for each tank. The left-hand dial
indicates the fuel in the left tank, the right-hand dial is for the right tank.
Fuel Totaliser
The fuel totaliser is on the central flight deck and shows the
amount of fuel used. The totaliser must be set to zero before
starting the engines. To set the totaliser to zero, push the button
next to the totaliser’s screen.
The button must be pushed for five seconds before it resets the totaliser to zero
Fuel Selectors
The fuel pump switches are located on the overhead panel, between the cowl flap control
switch and ignition switch of each engine. There are two fuel pumps per engine. The left fuel
pump switch is for the left engine, the right one for the right engine. There are three
positions per switch:
ICE PROTECTION
The following ice protection systems are installed on the AL200 MCC:
• Engine and propeller ice protection
• Pitot heat
• Wing surface de-ice
• Windshield heat
The control switches for these systems are located on the overhead panel.
Ice Protection
The effect of the ice protection switch is visible on the ammeter located on the left-hand side
of the overhead panel. Its normal operation range (green arc) goes from 19 to 21 A. Once
on, the ice protection system will follow the following cycle: 19 A during a few seconds, then
20 A during a few seconds, then back to zero A.
Although there is only one ammeter for both engine de-ice systems, each system can be
checked by means of the two-position toggle switch which is located on the right-hand side
of the overhead panel.
• LEFT: the ammeter shows the current requirement of the left engine’s de-ice system.
• RIGHT: the ammeter shows the current requirement of the right engine’s de-ice system.
Pitot Heat
Two pitot heat switches are installed on the overhead panel, one for each wing. Each has
two positions: on and off.
The effect of the pitot heat switches is directly visible on the ammeters located on the
overhead panel on each side of the voltmeter.

LANDING GEAR
Normal Operation
The landing gear control is located on the lower right-hand part of the pilot’s deck.
The landing gear lever needs to be pulled away from the flight deck before it can be raised
or lowered. The gear cannot be retracted on ground.
Annunciators
The landing gear annunciators are located on the left-hand side of the landing gear lever.
The three green annunciators form a triangle. The right-hand light represents the right main
gear, the left-hand light the left main gear, the top light the nose gear.
When none of the annunciators are lit, the landing gear is retracted. When three greens are
lit, the landing gear is extended and locked. When the red warning light is lit, the gear is on
its way up or down. The landing gear extension (or retraction) time should not exceed 7.5
seconds.
• If no green light is lit, none of the gears are locked in the correct position.
• If one or two green lights are lit, only the gear(s) corresponding to the lights is (are) locked
in the correct position.
There is a gear warning horn which will sound and the red annunciator will blink when the
gear is not down and locked and:

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
Airspeed Indicator
The airspeed indicator installed for the flight model Beech 200 shows the airspeed in knots.
Its scale is graduated in 5-knot increments from 40 to 300. The red radial for minimum
control speed with one engine inoperative is at 86 knots.
The white arc (flaps extended range) goes from 75 to 157 knots and consists of a wide white
arc from 75 to 99 knots and a narrow white arc from 99 to 157 knots. The lower limit of the
wide wide arc indicates stalling speed at max. weight with idle power and full flaps, the lower
limit of the narrow white arc indicates stalling speed at max. weight with idle power and flaps
up. The upper limit of the narrow white arc is maximum speed permissible with flaps
extended beyond approach position. The white trinagle at 200 knots indicates maximum
speed permissible with flaps in approach position.
The blue radial for best climbing speed with one engine inoperative is at 121 knots. The
maximum speed for any operation is indicated by the red and white hash-marked pointer
which is at 259 knots or 0.52 Mach — whichever is lower.
Three speed bugs can be set on the airspeed indicator. In order to activate the first one, put
the “bug selector switch” (see below) on “SPEED BUG 1”. Then turn the rotary switch
marked “ROTATE” until the bug is in the desired position. To activate the second bug, put
the selector on “SPEED BUG 2”, and so on.
SPEED
BUG
Vertical Speed Indicator
The vertical speed indicator has a graduated scale above and below a horizontal zero
reference. The first 1000 feet for both climb and descent are graduated in 100-ft increments.
From 1000 to 3500 ft the scale is graduated in 500-ft increments.
The ball indicates sideslip (i. e. the aircraft’s longitudinal axis is not aligned with its heading),
the needle indicates direction and rate of bank. If the needle is aligned with one of the white
markers next to “L” or “R”, the turn is at the standard rate of 2 minutes for 360°.
Altimeter
There are three altimeters installed: one on the pilot’s panel, the other on the copilot’s panel,
the third one also on the copilot’s panel.
The altimeter’s scale is graduated from 0 to 1000 feet with increments of 20 feet. Altitude is
displayed by means of three pointers. A long pointer (hundreds of feet), a short pointer
(thousands of feet) and a triangle-tipped thin pointer (ten thousands of feet).

Three bugs can be set on the pilot’s and copilot’s altimeter. In order to activate the first one,
put the “bug selector switch” (see below) on “ALTI BUG 1”. Then turn the rotary switch
marked “ROTATE” until the bug is in the desired position. To activate the second bug, put
the selector on “ALTI BUG 2”, and so on.
Radio Altimeter
The radar altimeter shows the precise height above ground from 0 to 2000 ft. Its scale is
graduated in 10 ft-increments from -20 to 500 ft and in 100-ft increments from 500 to 2100 ft.
The decision height selector (rotary encoder on the instrument’s frame) moves the yellow
bug to the desired decision height. When the selected height is reached, the DH light in the
dial will illuminate. The amber decision height annunciators on the upper edge of pilot’s and
copilot’s flight deck will illuminate as well.
Attitude Indicator
There are two attitude indicators installed: one on the pilot’s panel, the other on the co-pilot’s
panel.
The roll attitude index on the instrument’s outside has fixed reference marks at 0°(yellow
triangle), 10 and 20°(white rectangles), 30°(white square), 45°(white single line) and
60°(green double line). The white triangle at the i nstrument’s inside symbolizes the aircraft.
Pitch attitude marks are in five degree increments from 0 to 25 degrees. The aircraft is
symbolized by either black angles (cross-bars chosen in the Instructor Station’s “Aircraft
Menu”) or black V-bars.
EADI
The ADI can also be displayed as an electronic attitude director indicator (EADI).
You switch to the EADI display by bringing the bug selector switch to the position “EHSI-
mode” and turning the rotate button one step clockwise.
ADI
• The decision height selected on the radar altimeter is displayed in the bottom left-hand
corner.
• 100 ft before reaching the decision height (when descending), an empty rectangle will
appear in the bottom right-hand corner. This rectangle will be filled with DH in yellow upon
reaching the decision height.
• Also in the bottom right-hand corner there is a little square in which the marker beacon
signals are blinking when received (O, M or I).
• On the left-hand edge of the instrument, a green rectangle indicates the deviation of the
current speed to the target speed selected by means of the target speed bug on either the
pilot’s or copilot’s airspeed indicator. If the rectangle is between the middle and “F” (fast),
the current speed is too high; in the rectangle is between the middle and “S” (slow), the
current speed is too low.
• When an ILS frequency is received, the glideslope pointer and scale are in view on the
EADI’s sides and the localizer pointer and scale are displayed on the instrument’s bottom.
RMI
The RMI comprises two needles (one single and one double yellow pointer) which can be
set to indicate either a NDB or a VOR beacon by means of the two push buttons at the
bottom of the instrument.
The button on the left-hand side will make the single needle point to a VOR or a NDB. A little
arrow, located inside the instrument, right over the button, will show which beacon the thin
needle is indicating. If the VOR display is selected, then the single needle will indicate the
information received by the NAV 1.
When the GNS, which acts as NAV 1, is in mode GPS, the RMI will not work on the NAV 1
frequency.
The button on the right-hand side will make the double needle point to a VOR or a NDB. A
little arrow, located inside the instrument, right over the button, will show which beacon the
double needle is indicating. If the VOR display is selected, then the double needle will
indicate the information received by the NAV 2.
In case of a gyro failure — the pilot’s RMI is driven by the gyro 2 (switch on copilot’s side),
the copilot’s RMI is driven by the gyro 1 (switch on pilot’s side) — a red flag HDG will be
displayed. When no valid frequency is received, the corresponding needle points to a 3
o’clock position.
HIS
The HSI is located in the center of the pilot’s and copilot’s deck.
The NAV warning flag disappears when the NAV information is valid.
Note: When the GNS — which acts as NAV1 — is in mode GPS, there is no
valid NAV 1 information for the HSI.
The lubber line (white line on the top part of the HSI) is a fixed reference mark for the
compass card. It represents the nose of the aircraft.
The compass card indicates the aeroplane magnetic heading with reference to the lubber
line.
The heading select knob positions the heading bug on the compass card. The knob shows
an orange symbol representing the heading bug and is located on the right-hand side under
the HSI.
A digital display indicates the selected heading and is located in the upper right corner of the
HSI.
The course select knob positions the course selector on the compass card. The knob shows
a yellow arrow representing the course arrow and is located on the left-hand side under the
HSI. A digital display indicates the selected course and is located in the upper left corner of
the HSI.
NAV 2 ADF VOR 2
The HSI is driven by the GNS (= NAV 1) or the NAV 2, depending on the position of the left-
hand switch located above the ADI (compare picture above).
The lateral deviation indicator shows the deviation from the selected VOR radial, localizer
beam or track with respect to aircraft location. The maximum deviation is 10°on each side
for a VOR and 2.5°on each side for an ILS localizer .
The glideslope deviation indicator indicates the aircraft position related to the selected
glideslope path. The pointer will be centered when the aircraft is on the glidepath beam,
deflected up (0.5°maximum) when the aircraft is bel ow, and down (0.5°maximum) when the
aircraft is above the glidepath beam.
The TO/FROM indicator indicates whether the aircraft is flying to or from a selected VOR
station.
It is represented on the instrument as a white triangle pointing either in the same direction
as the course arrow (moving to the beacon) or in the opposite direction (from the beacon).
The green arrow indicates the heading to a beacon. Depending on the position of the switch
ADF/VOR1/VOR2 located above the ADI, the beacon will be the one selected on the ADF
receiver or on the selected NAV receiver.

EHSI
The HSI can also be displayed as an electronic horizontal situation indicator (EHSI).
You switch to the EHSI display by bringing the bug selector switch to the position “EHSI-
mode” and turning the rotate button one step clockwise. This will display the EHSI in full
compass format.
ADI
When you turn the rotate knob one single step more, the EHSI will change to a partial
compass format.
The information displayed in the instrument’s corners is the same in both cases.
• top left: position of the yellow course pointer or DTK if instrument is connected to GNS
• top right: Selected receiver (GNS, NAV 2) and DME distance, as well as the beacon the
DME bases its calculation on:
• 1: NAV 1 is active
• 1H: NAV 1 is on hold
• H2: NAV 2 is on hold
• 2: NAV 2 is active
If the selected receiver is the NAV, the lateral deviation indicator (yellow bar) represents the
centerline of the selected VOR or localizer course — both in full and partial compass format.
The aircraft symbol in the intrument’s center shows the actual aircraft’s position in relation to
Airplane systems 12.34/6
AL200 MCC

NAVIGATION Rev. 00
the selected course. Maximum deviation is 10°for a VOR (5°per dot) and 2°for an ILS (1°per
dot).
The bearing pointer indicates relative bearing to the selected navaid. Which navaid is
selected depends on the position of the ADF/VOR1/VOR2 switch over the artificial horizon.
A violet arrowhead in the middle of the instrument indicates whether the selected course is
“to” or “from” the station or waypoint. When the selected frequency is an ILS, the to/from
indicator disappears.
The blue needle indicates the heading to the beacon chosen with the ADF/VOR1/VOR2
switch located above the ADI.
In partial-compass format there is a digital display of the current course on top of the
instrument.
You can change the scale of EHSI in partial-compass format: Set the bug selector switch to
the position “EHSI-scale” and change the range indicated on the display’s inner ring from 5
to 12.5,
25, 50, 100 and finally 150 by means of the “rotate” knob.
If the EHSI is connected to the GNS (= NAV 1), the top left corner will display “DTK” and the
desired track calculated by the GNS. The course arrow will be inactive in this case. In partial
compass format the EHSI will display the flight plan entered into the GNS. The figure on the
bottom of the display next to “L” or “R” is the deviation from the desired track in nautical
miles but the biggest deviation that can be displayed is 2 nm.
When the instrument is not working, a red “HDG FAIL” flag is displayed.
The red cross on the lateral deviation scale will disappear and the deviation pointer will
appear only when there is valid NAV information.
Gyro System
In case of a failure of the directional gyro system, the trainer is equipped with a heading
correction system on both pilot and co-pilot sides on the flight deck:
In normal operation the gyro switch will be in position SLAVE. In case of a failure of the
directional gyro system, setting the switches to position FREE will allow heading corrections
on the HSI and RMI by means of the +/- switch. The switches on the pilot’s side control the
pilot’s HSI and co-pilot’s RMI; the switches on the copilot’s side control the co-pilot’s HSI
and pilot’s RMI.
Airplane systems 12.34/7
AL200 MCC

Magnetic Compass
Magnetic compass
The magnetic compass is located on top of the central panel.
With the gyro in mode SLAVE, there is no deviation between the magnetic compass and the
HSI.
Yet when the heading is changed suddenly, there will be a small delay until the magnetic
compass shows the correct indication.
DME
The DME indicator is located in the center of the pilot’s and copilot’s panel, over the HSI.
It consists of three aligned digital display indicators:
• The distance from the selected VOR/DME or the selected ILS/DME is displayed on the left.
• The calculated groundspeed is displayed in the center.
• On the right is displayed:
! if the aircraft’s is below 1000 ft AGL, it’s altitude
! if the aircraft’s is above 1000 ft AGL, the time remaining to the beacon in
minutes
The DME three position switch determines the NAV receiver from which the DME display
takes its information:
DME
NAV 1DNAV 2
• Position NAV 1: The displayed values are based on the beacon selected on NAV1. The
DME displays 1 behind the NM.
• Position NAV 2: The displayed values are based on the beacon selected on NAV2. The
DME displays 2 behind the NM.
• Position HOLD: The DME display keeps the latest frequency selected (on NAV1 or on
NAV2) in memory, and another frequency can be selected on the receiver. The display will
still show the information transmitted on the frequency stored in memory. The DME displays
1H or H2 behind the NM.
GNS 430
The GNS installed in the trainer are original Garmin GNS 430 or 530, but all information
regarding the aircraft’s position and speed are received from Alsim’s flight model program.
Therefore the GNS displays as the aircraft’s current position the same position as shown on
the instructor station’s map.
For switching on the GNS, turn the encoder marked “C” in the device’s top left corner. When
the self test has been completed, “ENT” (on the right) must be pushed twice to activate the
GNS.
The GNS includes, amongst others, the NAV 1 and COM 1 functions.
Airplane systems 12.34/8
AL200 MCC
Beech 200
NAVIGATION Rev. 00
The button “CDI” (on the bottom) changes between the modes GPS and VLOC (the active
mode is indicated just above the button). In mode VLOC the GNS works like a NAV receiver
with really existing beacons. In mode GPS the GNS works with points selected in its
database, the NAV function is not active and the HSI will be flagged if connected to NAV1.
The EHSI, if connected to the GNS, will copy the GNS’s deviation indication.
The autopilot will no longer work reliably in mode APPROACH and NAV when it is
connected to an HSI/EHSI driven by the GNS in mode GPS.
See Garmin’s GNS Pilot’s Guide and Reference for a complete description of the GNS.
ADF
It consists of a digital display, five white push buttons (from left to right marked: ADF, BFO,
FREQ, FLT/ET, SET/RST), a rotary OFF/ON switch and a double encoder for frequency
selec- tion.
Rotating the power switch clockwise from the OFF position switches the instrument ON and
vice versa.
! ADF: Switches between ANT mode and ADF mode. In ANT mode the RMI’s orange
double needle points to “3 o’clock”, indicating that the ADF is not working and the
ADF’s display shows “ANT”. In ADF mode the ADF is working and its display shows
“ADF”.
As the frequency display shows only 3 digits whereas NDB frequencies can use half
kilohertz, an inaccuracy of +/- 0.5 kHz has been built into the system. Example: When
the frequency 369 kHz has been selected, the following frequencies will be received:
368.5, 369 and 369.5. If more than one of these three frequencies should be within
reception range, the closest will be chosen.
! BFO: Does not work except for showing BFO in the display.
! FREQ: Switches the standby frequency to active and returns to frequency mode from
FLT/ET mode.
! FLT/ET: In mode FLT (flight time) the display shows the total time since the
instrument was
! switched on and an indicator “FLT”. In mode ET (elapsed time) the timer works as a
stopwatch and can be reset with the SET button. The display indicates “ET”.
! SET/RST: With the timer in mode ET, this button resets the timer to zero. The timer
will restart automatically when the button is released.
! Frequency encoder: The outer knob, when turned clockwise, increases the frequency
by 10 KHz, the inner knob by 1 KHz.

Transponder
It consists of a five-position rotary switch (OFF, STBY, ON, ALT, TEST), an IDENT switch to
the right of it, a digital display and four encoders under it.
With the rotary switch on OFF, the display is dark and the transponder does not work. With
the switch on STBY, the code is displayed but not transmitted and the transponder’s
annunciator is off. With the switch on ON or STBY, when pressing IDENT, the annunciator
stays illuminated for five seconds. With the switch on ALT, the annunciator blinks
irregularily. With the switch on TEST, the annunciator stays illuminated until the switch is put
to another setting.
The encoders under the display augment the figure displayed directly above when turned
clockwise and decrease it when turned anti-clockwise (figures are available from 0 to 7).
Marker Annunciators
The marker annunciators are located on the pilot’s and copilot’slight deck (over the bug
selector switch).
The blue annunciator will be lit when the aircraft passes over an outer marker.
The amber annunciator will be lit when the aircraft passes over a middle marker.
The white annunciator will be lit when the aircraft passes over an inner marker.
The switches for the markers are the two right-hand switches in the pilot’s and copilot’sow of
audio switches.
The marker’s morse code can be heard by putting the left-hand switch in the position
MARKER.
The three position MKR TEST switch can be set to the following positions:
Oxygen Masks
The oxygen masks, which are stored on hooks behind the pilot’s and copilot’s seats, are not
connected to an oxygen supply. However, they include a microphone and can be plugged
into either of the audio control panels.

The AL200 Beech 200 is equipped with a warning panel located on the central panel:
• ENG FUEL PRESS: Neither of the left engine’s fuel pumps is working correctly
• ENG FUEL PRESS: Neither of the right engine’s fuel pumps is working correctly
• FIRE EXT INOP: Left engine’s fire extinguisher system does not work (because it has
already been used)
• BATT OVR TEMP: The battery’s temperature is too high (simulated failure)
• CABIN PRESS: Either the difference between the cabin and outside pressure is over 5.2
PSI or the cabin pressure is over 10 000 ft (simulated failure)
• FIRE EXT INOP: Right engine’s fire extinguisher system does not work (because it has
already been used)
• INV PWR: Inverters off (eiter the switch is in neutral position or the simulated failure was
activated on the instructor station)
• EXT PWR: Simulated aircraft connected to the ground power unit (activated through the
instruction station, aircraft menu)
On the upper edge of pilot’s and copilot’s flight deck there are two MASTER WARNING
annunciators and push buttons. In the case of a warning, the annunciator will flash and an
aural warning will sound. Pushing the master warning button will stop the aural warning and
extinguish the master warning annuniator, but the annunciator in the warning panel will stay
illuminated.
Next to the MASTER WARNING annunciators there are two test buttons. Pushing one of
them will illuminate all the annunciators.
