2. NORMAL OPERATION

The Saab 340 is designed for a regional airline operation where a standard mission profile includes take−
off, climb (to cruise altitude), cruise, descent and landing. A typical flight cycle is assumed to be carried out
with duration and at altitudes associated with such operation. Significant and recurring deviations from the
standard mission profile may be outside certified limits and shall be brought to Saab’s attention since a
tailored maintenance program could be required.

1. COCKPIT GENERAL

1.1 Accommodation etc.

The cockpit has accommodation for two pilots and


one observer.
The observer seat is of a folding type and can be
removed when not in use. It is provided with an in-
ertia reel shoulder harness.
The cockpit windows are fixed. A ground commu-
nication hatch is on the left side of the fuselage be-
low the side windshield.
As an alternate emergency exit from the cockpit, a
hatch is located in the cockpit ceiling. This hatch
can also be used for ventilation on the ground.
The cockpit is also provided with two adjustable
sun−visors.

CAUTION
A sun−visor must never be folded in a position

1.2 Instruments, switches etc.

Instruments are partly of the electronic type (”glass


cockpit”), with CRTs in front of the pilots. Other indi-
cators, pushbuttons, switches etc, are located on
the overhead panel, glareshield panel, the instru-
ment panels and on the pedestal.

6. COCKPIT DOOR

To open the cockpit door from the cabin, the


rounded knob on the cockpit door is turned and the
door pulled open. The door can be latched in the
fully open position by pressing it against a door
catcher located on the cover panel to the avionic
rack.
The door can be latched closed on the cockpit side
by turning the latch lever to locked position as indi-
cated by the red marking beside the lever.
In case of a rapid decompression, the door has a
pressure equalization panel (blowout panel) to
equalize the pressure between the passenger
compartment and the cockpit.
In event that cockpit door cannot be opened toward
passenger cabin due to immovable obstruction on
cabin side, the door may be partially opened into
the cockpit as follows:
a. Remove the jumpseat assembly from its frame.
b. Turn the door stop (colored red) adjacent to the
rounded knob on the door jamb.
c. Release the pintle latch by turning on the
rounded knob.
d. Pull the door inwards.

NOTE
Easy or full opening of the door may be obstruc-
ted by the observer’s smoke mask assembly,
jumpseat harness buckle holder, etc. However,
slight force should overcome such obstructions.

CAUTION
Due to possibility of damage to door assembly,
hinge, etc., opening of door inwards is consid-
ered an abnormal operation, and shall be at-
tempted only if an immovable obstruction pre-
vents normal opening of the door in a timely
manner.

Note that emergency egress from the cockpit in


event cockpit door cannot be opened, or is inacces-
sible, shall be via the cockpit emergency escape
hatch.

2. NORMAL OPERATION

2.1 CARGO COMPARTMENT TEMPERATURE V.S. FLYING TIME, FL AND OAT


Cargo compartment temperature varies with OAT at the departure airport, cruising level OAT, FL and
duration of flight. In general, as can be seen in below graphs there is a slight temperature increase in the
cargo compartment when cruising at low FL’s while at higher FL’s the temperature will always decrease
with time.
How to use the charts
1. Establish a REFERENCE TEMPERATURE: when OAT at departure airport and at cruising level deviates
from ISA, use the lowest temperature (variation from ISA) as REFERENCE TEMPERATURE.
2. Follow the line for the REFERENCE TEMPERATURE until intersect with the FLYING TIME and find the
CARGO COMPARTMENT TEMPERATURE.
Example: Departure Airport OAT . . . . . . . . . . +15° C (ISA)
Cruising Level . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . FL 200
Cruising Level OAT . . . . . . . . . . . . . −30° C (ISA −5° C)
Flying time . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 hr 5 min.
Since ISA −5° C (−30° C) at cruising level is colder than ISA (+15° C) temperature at the departure airport,
the ISA −5° C shall be used as REFERENCE TEMPERATURE to establish cargo compartment tempera-
ture.
Answer: Lowest cargo compartment temperature will be about +1° C.

also the elevator and rudder trim system. See
Fig. 1. FGAS system schematic.

2.2 Mode Select Panel (MSP)

Located on the glareshield panel. Contains push


buttons for selection of FD lateral and vertical
modes. All buttons except 1/2 BANK mode have
only on−function, i.e a mode can only be deselected
by selection of another mode. Half bank mode (if
installed) button has an on/off function.

2.3 Autopilot Panel (APP)

Located on the pedestal. Contains engage/disen-


gage levers for AP and YD and controls for heading
and vertical speed changes.

2.4 NAV source selection

There are two navigation source selection push but-


tons with built in indicators (NAV S.L. and NAV
S.R.) on the glareshield panel. The push buttons
are used to couple left or right navigation source as
input to the FD/AP.

2.5 Altitude Preselector Alerter (APA)

The altitude preselect mode causes the system to


capture the altitude selected on the preselector/
alerter. Any other vertical mode may be used prior
to altitude capture.
At capture, other vertical modes are cleared and
command signals are generated to level off the air-
craft at the selected altitude. For the altitude alert
function, see AOM 12/1.1, AIR DATA SYSTEM.

TURN knob.
The rate type TURN knob is spring loaded to return to a center detent position. The knob is used to manually
apply heading commands to FD/AP.

Moving TURN knob out of detent slews the HDG bug at a rate proportional to amount of knob displacement.

PITCH wheel.
Pitch wheel is spring loaded to return to a center detent position. The wheel is used to manually apply verti-
cal speed commands to FD/AP in steps of 50 ft.

Moving pitch wheel from detent resets vertical mode to VS (except in GS ”CAP” and ALTS mode) and then
slews vertical speed reference at rate proportional to the amount of wheel displacement.

2.1 AUTOPILOT The autopilot and its various modes shall normally be used to the greatest pos-
GENERAL sible extent.
As a general rule, the pilot flying the aircraft (1/P) shall operate the autopilot.
The AP modes shall be monitored by use of the EADI. The light in the mode
buttons in the MSP shall only be regarded as a reminder of depressed but-
tons.
NOTE
When the autopilot is used below 1 500 ft., 1/P must keep one hand on the con-
trol wheel and have his feet on the rudder pedals, prepared to disengage the au-
topilot and take over manual control if necessary.

2.2 FLIGHT The FD V−shaped (magenta−colored) command bar shall normally be selected

CONDITIONS NORMAL PROCEDURES

2.5 MODES Modes are normally selected by pressing the respective buttons on MSP. The
GENERAL indicator in button illuminates.
ALTS mode is always armed by the APA as indicates on the EADI by a white
ALTS under the active vertical mode. An automatic mode change will occur
when actual flying altitude intercepts with the calculated capture point for the
APA setting. Exception: ALTS is not armed in GS ”CAP”.
GA mode can only be engaged by GA switches in power levers.
NOTE
Always confirm with the EADI mode annunciation that selected mode has been
armed/engaged.
A new mode can always be selected by pushing desired button on MSP.
Exceptions:
− A new vertical mode can not be selected in ALTS unless first selecting a new
altitude on the APA.
− A new vertical mode can not be selected in GS ”CAP” unless a new lateral
mode or GA is selected.
Operation of pitch wheel will give a mode change to VS except in GS ”CAP” and
ALTS.
HALF BANK The Half Bank mode is a submode to HDG and NAV. It reduces the bank
MODE limit from 27 to 13.5 in these modes. The mode is selected by pressing the
(Optional) 1/2 BANK button, and indicated on the MSP only. The mode is turned off by
a second push on the button. (Push on/push off function).

2.6 VS MODE 1. VS button . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . PRESS


(Basic mode)
− Check EADI to annunciate VS and vertical speed at time of VS selection.
To change selected vertical speed:
2. Pitch wheel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . DN or UP
− Pitch wheel is springloaded to center detent position. Movement from detent
provides a slew rate command proportional to wheel displacement. Selected
vertical speed is annunciated in EADI.
− The vertical speed can also be changed by pressing and releasing the VERT
SYNC button.

2.10 ALTS MODE 1. Altitude set knob (APA) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . SET DESIRED


ALTITUDE
− Check EADI to annunciate ALTS in white under active vertical mode. Altitude
select is always armed. Any other vertical mode (VS, IAS, CLIMB) can be
used with altitude select prior to capture.
− Monitor the system when approaching the selected altitude. Verify altitude
alert and that the annunciation changes from armed (ALTS in white) to cap-
ture (ALTS in green) when approaching the altitude.
− At altitude capture, FD/AP commands changes in pitch attitude to guide air-
craft onto, and hold, selected altitude.
NOTE
Change of APA setting during capture phase will revert FD/AP to basic mode VS.
− At capture check EADI to annunciate ALTS in green. Flight advisory speed
for long range cruise (knots IAS) comes on when ALTS in track.

When a mode data source fails to a flagged condition, the FD command bars will disappear from view, the
red FD flag will appear. In such an event, the pilot is responsible for evaluating the situation and taking
proper action such as disengaging the autopilot or changing flight director modes.
Other failure modes can occur which will provide different cues such as aircraft attitude or flight path
changes and it is always the pilots responsibility to monitor system operation against raw data and other

TURN knob.
The rate type TURN knob is spring loaded to return to a center detent position. The knob is used to manually
apply heading commands to FD/AP.

Moving TURN knob out of detent slews the HDG bug at a rate proportional to amount of knob displacement.

PITCH wheel.
Pitch wheel is spring loaded to return to a center detent position. The wheel is used to manually apply verti-
cal speed commands to FD/AP in steps of 50 ft.

Moving pitch wheel from detent resets vertical mode to VS (except in GS ”CAP” and ALTS mode) and then
slews vertical speed reference at rate proportional to the amount of wheel displacement.

2. NORMAL OPERATION (Cont’d)

CONDITIONS NORMAL PROCEDURES

2.1 AUTOPILOT The autopilot and its various modes shall normally be used to the greatest pos-
GENERAL sible extent.
As a general rule, the pilot flying the aircraft (1/P) shall operate the autopilot.
The AP modes shall be monitored by use of the EADI. The light in the mode
buttons in the MSP shall only be regarded as a reminder of depressed but-
tons. There are two FDs and either of them can be connected to the AP.
Selection of L/R FD to the AP is performed by pressing the APXFR button
on AP CONTROL PANEL AND ANNUNCIATED IN EADI by
AP / AP (AP connected L resp R FD).
NOTE
When the autopilot is used below 1 500 ft., 1/P must keep one hand on the con-
trol wheel and have his feet on the rudder pedals, prepared to disengage the au-
topilot and take over manual control if necessary.

2.2 FLIGHT The FD V−shaped (magenta−colored) command bar shall normally be selected
DIRECTOR, on both EADIs. However, the displayed command bars can be deselected by
GENERAL pressing the FD button on the DCP except in APPR mode. Between L/R FD
there is a cross talk function active in all modes except APPR and HALF BANK.
The cross talk function is used to synchronize a selected mode on one side to
the other. After selection of APPR mode reactivation of the cross talk function is
performed by selection of another lateral mode on both sides MSP or by press-
ing GA button on either power lever.
NOTE
At manual flight using FD in VS or IAS mode. If selecting a different Vertical
Speed or Airspeed than present and thereafter selecting AP XFR, split will occur
between the Flight Directors. The (XFR) selected FD will capture the present VS
or IAS, and the other FD remains with the selected VS or IAS. However, pressing
VERT SYNC button on the failing side or engaging the AP will synchronize the
Flight Directors.

2.5 MODES Modes are normally selected by pressing the respective buttons on MSP. The
GENERAL indicator in button illuminates.
ALTS mode is always armed by the APA as indicates on the EADI by a white
ALTS under the active vertical mode. An automatic mode change will occur
when actual flying altitude intercepts with the calculated capture point for the
APA setting. Exception: ALTS is not armed in GS ”CAP”.
GA mode can only be engaged by GA switches in power levers.
NOTE
Always confirm with the EADI mode annunciation that selected mode has been
armed/engaged.
A new mode can always be selected by pushing desired button on MSP.
Exceptions:
− A new vertical mode can not be selected in ALTS unless first selecting a new
altitude on the APA.
− A new vertical mode can not be selected in GS ”CAP” unless a new lateral
mode or GA is selected.
Operation of pitch wheel will give a mode change to VS except in GS ”CAP” and
ALTS.
HALF BANK The Half Bank mode is a submode to HDG and NAV. It reduces the bank
MODE limit from 27 to 13.5 in these modes. Mode is selected by pressing the 1/2
(Optional) BANK button, and indicated on the MSP only. The mode is turned off by a
second push on the button. (Push on/push off function). The mode has to
be selected/deselected on both MSP to get half bank FD command on both
EADI’s (no cross talk).

When a mode data source fails to a flagged condition, the FD command bars will disappear from view, the
red FD flag will appear. In such an event, the pilot is responsible for evaluating the situation and taking
proper action such as disengaging the autopilot or changing flight director modes.
Other failure modes can occur which will provide different cues such as aircraft attitude or flight path
changes and it is always the pilots responsibility to monitor system operation against raw data and other
sources. However, the following paragraphs (3.6 and 3.7) describe two important situations more in detail.

− Setting the SQUELCH control too far clockwise can result in blocking
out weak signals. The operator will find that there are times (depending
on prevailing conditions) when it will be necessary to leave the squelch
control in the OFF position to maintain satisfactory reception. This is
because of conditions relating to propagation and ionospheric condi-
tion that causes the HF receiver to operate with at signal that is subject
to considerable fading and which is only marginally strong enough (un-

2.2 USER The 40 user programmable channels can be easily programmed on ground or
CHANNELS in flight. All programmed information is stored in nonvolatile memory and can
PROGRAMM be easily recalled by selecting the desired user channel number.
ING
There are three types of channels that can be programmed:
A. Half duplex
The user programs two different frequencies, one for receive and one for
transmit. The user also assigns one of the available operating modes (USB,
LSB, AM, TEL SUP CAR or TEL PLT CAR) to the selected channel. Half du-
plex operation is used by the maritime radiotelephone network (public corre-
spondence) stations.

2. Select the desired user channel.

Rotate the left outer channel select knob in either direction until user channel 1
or 40 appears at the right side of the CHAN display. Then use the right outer
channel select knob to select the desired channel number (from 1 to 40) to
program.
3. Initiate program mode.

Press the program (PGM) button once to initiate the programming sequence.
At this point, the entire display will begin to slowly blink.
4. Enter the receive frequency and mode of operation.

Set the desired receive frequency using the four frequency select knobs. The
receive frequency will appear in the FREQ kHz display. Next, select the de-
sired operating mode (USB, LSB, AM, TEL SUP CAR or TEL PLT CAR) by
pulling out the PULL MODE knob and rotating it until the appropriate mode
appears in the MODE display.
5. Store the receive frequency and mode of operation.

With the desired receive frequency and mode being displayed, press the
PGM button once again to store the data. The display will blank for a short
period of time to confirm storage.
6. Enter and store the transmit frequency.

When the display returns, it will be blinking faster with the transmit frequency
displayed (initially this is the same as the already programmed receive fre-
quency). At this point, the operator have approximately 20 seconds to begin
entering the desired transmit frequency. If no changes are made during the
next 20 sec. the currently displayed transmit frequency will become invalid
and a receive−only channel have been created. Set the desired transmit fre-
quency using the four frequency select knobs.

With the desired transmit frequency shown in the FREQ kHz display, press
the PGM button once again to store the data. As before, the display will blank
for a short period of time to confirm the storage. The display will then return to
normal with the new channel data (channel number, mode and receive fre-
quency) showing.
B. Simplex
The user programs the same frequency for receive and for transmit. The user
also assigns one of the available operating modes (USB, LSB, AM, TEL SUP
CAR and TEL PLT CAR) to the selected channel. Simplex operation is used
by ARINC, ATC (Air Traffic Control) and others.

display. Next, select the desired operating mode (USB, LSB, AM, TEL SUP
CAR or TEL PLT CAR) by pulling out the PULL MODE knob and rotating it
until the appropriate mode appears in the MODE display.
5. Store the receive frequency and mode of operation.

With the desired simplex frequency and mode being displayed, press the
PGM button once again to store the data. The display will blank for a short
period of time to confirm storage.
6. Store the transmit frequency.

When the display returns, it will be blinking faster with the simplex transmit
frequency displayed (this is the same as the already programmed receive fre-
quency). At this point, the operator have approximately 20 seconds to com-
plete the simplex programming operation. If no changes are made during the
next 20 seconds, the currently displayed transmit frequency will become in-
valid and a receive−only channel have been created. Press the PGM button
once again to store the frequency. As before, the display will blank for a short
period of time to confirm storage. The display will then return to normal with
the new channel data (channel number, mode and simplex frequency) show-
ing.
C. Receive−only
The user programs a frequency for receive and assigns one of the available
operating modes (USB, LSB, TEL SUP CAR or TEL PLT CAR) but does not
program a transmit frequency. The transmitter and power amplifier are locked
out and can not be used when a channel has been programmed for receive−
only operation. Receive−only channels are used to listen to frequency stan-
dards (WWV for example), time, weather, Omega status and geophysical
alert broadcasts to name just a few.

ACTIONS
1. To clear the fault, simply rotate one of the frequency/channel select knobs
away from and then back to the desired frequency or channel and initiate
another turning cycle by momentarily pressing the microphone PTT but-
ton. The 1000 Hz tone should again be present and then disappear at the
end of the turning cycle. If the beeping recurs, try the clearing procedure a
second time; if a fault is still indicated, there is probably an equipment mal-

0.1 VHF COM 1 nuisance transmitting during


engine start

Without mod. no. 1154 embodied:


− With the BATT switches in ON position the Audio
System Remote Electronic Unit (REU) is supplied
from the L/R BATT BUSSES. COM 1 is normally
supplied from EMER AVION BUS.
− During an engine start with limited power supply
there will be a voltage drop on the L/R BATT
BUSSES affecting the REU logic in such a way
that nuisance keying of the VHF COM 1 transmit-
ter occurs causing annoying conditions on the
selected frequency. This is most significant dur-
ing BATT starts when the first engine is started
but may occur also during a General Crossover
start if for any reason the General should supply
only limited power. Starting up with a weak GPU
may create the same situation.
− As the problem is in the REU, switching the
NORM−EMER switches on both Audio Control
Panels to EMER, will bypass the REU and no
nuisance keying will occur, with the switches in
EMER position COM−receiving on VHF COM 1
is available through the left headset and COM−
transmitting on VHF COM 1 using the left wheel
PTT only. Normal PA system operations is avail-
able but Intercom including the Ground Crew
Communication is not available until NORM−
EMER switch is back to NORM−position.
− Incorporation of the modification (SB−23−006
mod. no. 1154) will eliminate the problem and
improved the design so that during engine start
sequence the REU will be supplied from the
EMER BUS. At 55% Ng the left and right REU
channels will again be supplied from the L/R
BATT BUSSES. Normal COM Intercom will be
available.

0.2 VHF COM frequency range

Without mod. no. 2060 embodied:


− The frequency range of the VHF COM is 118.000
to 135.975 MHz.

The ACARS system consists of an airborne subsys-


tem and a ground station network. The airborne
ACARS consists of a Management unit, Control
display panel, VHF com transceiver and a VHF an-
tenna. The ground station network consists of a
VHF com ground station controlled by a central pro-

nected to individual airline computer systems,
see Fig. 2.

2.2 Management unit

The Management unit contains the circuits required


to control sampling of data from aircraft systems
and sensors through the FDAU. The Management
unit receives the ground−to−air digital messages
from the VHF com transceiver and controls the
transmission of air−to−ground messages through
the VHF com transceiver, see Fig. 1.

Flight Attendant Oxygen


The flight attendant can be supplied with oxygen
either by the large walk−around bottle (310 l) or by
plugging the oxygen mask (full face smoke mask)
into one of the fixed passenger outlets, or into the
observer’s outlet if not occupied.
First choice should normally be the 310 l portable
bottle, as this gives greater freedom of movement.
The cabin has passenger oxygen outlets, lo-
cated on the overhead passenger service units
(P.S.U), and connected to the fixed system. Num-
ber of outlets varies with national regulations.
Passenger oxygen masks with plug−in connectors
and flow indicators are normally stowed in the
galley area.
The most common type of mask has a flow indica-
tor. It is a small green compartment built into the
oxygen accumulator bag which inflates immediately
upon a flow of oxygen, and is highly visible to the
user.
Masks are continuous flow type. No shut−off valves
are provided.

4. PORTABLE OXYGEN

The aircraft is provided with portable oxygen


bottles. There are two sizes: large (310 L) and small
(120 L). Number and locations vary with national
regulations.
Description
The large (310 L) bottle is intended for crew walk−
around and is the F/A primary choice of oxygen
supply.
It has two 2 L/min. outlets (with option 231−1
installed, only one outlet), suitable for both flight
crew and the full−face mask.
Some bottles may also be fitted with outlets which
can be used with the passenger masks.
Minimum duration with 1,800 psi initial pressure:
− One outlet in use . . . . . 80 min.
− Two outlets in use . . . . 50 min.
With the full face smoke mask in use, duration is
reduced to 10−20 min., depending on inhalation
rate.
The small (120 L) bottle is intended for giving first
aid and supplemental oxygen. It has its own oxygen
mask. This bottle has two constant flow outlets (2
and 4 L/min). The 4 L/min (HI) outlet is used for first
aid, and the 2 L/min (LO) outlet for supplemental
oxygen, e.g. after a decompression.
Minimum duration with 1,800 psi initial pressure:
− HI . . . . . . . 20 min.
− LO . . . . . . 30 min.
Minimum pressure for all portable bottles before
take−off is 1,500 psi,

NOTE
The oxygen mask attached to the small (120 L)
bottle can not be connected to any other outlet in
the aircraft.

(120 L) bottle.
SUMMARY
1. The fixed system has outlets in cockpit and in
cabin. Any mask except the ”first−aid” mask
can be plugged into any of these outlets.
2. There are two different portable bottles; one
large for the flight attendant and crew walk−
around and one small for first−aid oxygen.
3. Flight attendant should primarily use the large
(310 L) portable bottle.
4. Small portable bottle has special fittings which
will only accept the attached ”first−aid” mask.
5. Flight crew oxygen masks should always be
connected. Observer mask usage varies with
national regulations.

5.5 OXYGEN CONSUMPTION figures

As an extra information to operators who want to


compile their own dispatch pressure table or for op-
erators with a different system layout, oxygen con-
sumption figures per crew and passenger masks
are given. The figure for the 1 fixed bottle installa-
tion is based on the FAR 121 descent profile or de-
scent to lower altitudes while the 3 fixed bottle
installation is based on the FAR 135 descent profile
or descent to lower altitudes. When compiling the
dispatch pressure it is important to notice that the
last 300 psi of indicated oxygen pressure must be
treated as unusable since the oxygen regulation
function starts to be unreliable at that pressure.

Emergency Locator Transmitter

1. EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER

The Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) is acti-


vated automatically on impact, transmitting on
121.5, 243 and 406.25 MHz.
The ELT is located in the rear avionics rack, and
can not be removed from the aircraft.
The ELT is waterproof. It operates independently of
the aircraft batteries. The self−contained battery
has a minimum capacity of 24 hours of transmission
on 406.25 MHz and 72 hours on 121.5/243 MHz.
There are three switches:
− The impact switch (activates the ELT at a 5 G
impact)
− An ”ON − OFF” switch on the ELT
− A remote ”ON − ARMED − RESET” switch on the
EMERGENCY overhead panel in the flight com-
partment.
Upon activation, the ELT starts to transmit on 121.5
and 243 MHz. There is a time delay of 47 seconds
before the ELT starts to transmit on 406.25 MHz.
Activation is indicated by a flashing red indicator on
the ELT and on the EMERGENCY panel.

1.1 Automatic activation

For normal operation, the switch in the cockpit shall


be in the ARMED position, and the switch on the
ELT shall be in the ON position. The ELT will then
activate automatically on impact.

1.2 Manual activation

The ELT is manually activated when the cockpit


switch is set to ON.

1.3 Deactivation

The ELT can be deactivated in two ways:


− Set the switch on the ELT to OFF, or
− On the cockpit EMERGENCY panel, momentarily
set the ELT switch to the RESET position.

NOTE
If the ELT has been inadvertently activated, inform
ATC immediately, to prevent unnecessary search/
rescue actions. Also, make an entry in the aircraft
log book.

When a ground air conditioning unit is supplying air
to the cabin with the doors closed, the cabin may
become slightly pressurized (depending on the ca-

to open the emergency exits and to unlock the main

Description

A CARGO EXTG light adjacent to the extinguisher


switch is operated by a pressure switch sensing
pressure in the inner volume. Normal pressure in
the extinguisher container is 360 psi. The CARGO
EXTG light comes on when pressure decreases to
310−260 psi indicating low pressure in the bottle.
When the extinguisher system is activated the light
will come on when the outer volume has been
drained and the pressure in the inner volume has
reached the trigging level, this can take up to 15
minutes. Accordingly CARGO EXTG light not com-
ing on in sequence with activation of the FIRE
EXTG shall not be interpreted as a non functioning
system.

2.5 Optional cargo compartment fire extin-


guisher system

An optional extinguisher system, identical to the


standard system, may be installed on the left side
of the cargo compartment.
Like system 1 the extinguisher is discharged in two
stages, the first with rapid flooding and the second
with a slower regulated flow. The time difference
between activation of FIRE EXT 1 and 2 must
therefore be more than 2 minutes to prevent a pres-
sure chock due to two successive flooding dis-
charges.

2.4 DEFUELING Pressure defueling is the quickest and most common way to defuel. The
tanks can be defueled either simultaneously or independently. The standby
pumps are used for pressure defueling. If a large quantity of fuel must be de-
fueled use GPU power supply, otherwise the standby pumps will drain the bat-
teries.

If standby pumps not available for defuel, suction defueling by the fuel truck
can be used. However, it’s not so effective and takes longer time. At suction,
the tanks can be defueled simultaneously but only the right tank independent-
ly, due to the fuel system design.

Main reservoir
The main reservoir has a capacity of 310 cubic
inches (approx. 5 liters). The reservoir is pressur-
ized from the emergency accumulator circuit to pro-
vide a positive pressure supply to the hydraulic
pump. In case of loss of pressurization, a spring will
ensure a positive fluid supply.

Hand pump reservoir


The hand pump reservoir supplies hydraulic fluid to
the hand pump exclusively. It has a capacity of 150

simultaneously operate all systems, a selector valve
is installed. The valve allows pressure to be di-
rected to the following accumulators, one at a time:
− Main accumulator.
− Outboard brake accumulator.
− Inboard brake accumulator.
Outboard and inboard brake accumulators may also
be pressurized via the main accumulator, by use of
the handpump, if pressure should be low in any or
both accumulators.
To extend/retract the flaps, the flaps handle must
first be set to desired setting before using the hand
pump to extend/retract the flaps to selected setting.
To extend the landing gear, the handle must first be
selected down before using the handpump to ex-
tend the gear. It must be observed that this is only
applicable after accomplishment of Mod No. 1463.

2.4 Hydraulic accumulators

The four identical accumulators are of piston−type


and are pre−charged with nitrogen to 1650 psi.
Each accumulator has a capacity of 22 cubic inches
(approx. 0.35 liters) hydraulic fluid at 2900 psi pres-
sure.
It is important to notice that, in case of a hydraulic
pump failure, when pressure is consumed, and
pressure in an accumulator is reaching 1650 psi
(pre−charged pressure) the hydraulic pressure will
rapidly drop to zero since the piston has reached its
end position, thereby not creating any pressure into
the system.

2.5 Warning system

An amber caution light is provided on the Central


Warning Panel. The light will come on together with
the MASTER CAUTION light and single chime in
case of low pressure in the main or the emergency
accumulator, or high fluid temperature in the main
reservoir.
It should be noted that low pressure in one or both
brake accumulators always results in low pressure
in the main accumulator. This means in practice
that low pressure in any of the four accumulators

0. MODIFICATION STANDARD

The systems described in this chapter assume a certain modification standard of the aircraft. If a modification
is not installed the following apply as complement to what is stated in this chapter.

0.1 Wing and stabilizer (boot) de−ice

With Mod No 1147 (Boot de−icing system logic revision) installed.


− When ONE CYCLE is selected reselection of ONE CYCLE during the first 12 seconds after the cycle
(24 seconds) is completed will not result in initiation of another cycle. Instead, a time delay of 30 seconds
will occur before initiation. With repeated reselection attempts within 30 seconds, the total time delay can
be 2 1/2minutes.
An additional ONE CYCLE selection shall not be done until 20 seconds after the previous cycle is completed.
− When switching from CONT to OFF the on−going cycle will be interrupted and one new cycle will be exe-
cuted instead of completion of the on−going cycle.

0.2 Propeller de−icing

Without Mod No 1335 (Installation of modified propeller de−icing timer) installed.


− L/R PROP switch is a two position ON/OFF switch. In the ON position the system works in the MAX mode,
90 seconds ON 90 seconds OFF. With this system there is a possibility that during certain atmospheric
conditions ice will form on the propeller blades and, after melting will refreeze behind the boots, so called
run−back ice, with subsequent performance degradation.

0.3 Wing and stabilizer (boot) de−ice

With either of Mod No 1147 (Boot de−icing system logic revision) or Mod No 1784 (Logic changes to the de−
icing boots) installed but not 1448 (Boot de−icing system deflation rate).
− The boot zones inflates in the following order with Mod No 1147 installed: stabilizer, inboard wing, re−infla-
tion of stabilizer and finally outboard wing.
− The boot zones inflates in the following order with Mod No 1784 installed: stabilizer, outboard wing, re−
inflation of stabilizer and finally inboard wing.
The following is applicable to both Mod variants:
− To monitor the boot de−ice system a TIMER light comes on should either of the following faults be de-
tected:
 No pressure is sensed downstream the valve sequenced for opening within 4 seconds.
 The activated timer gives no inflation signal.
 The boots are not cycling.
 Pressure remains on (above 10 psi) in the stabilizer boot zones after more than 8 sec.
 Pressure remains on (above 10 psi) in Left and Right inboard wing or Left and Right outboard wing boot zones
after more than 8 seconds.
 Control power to timer is lost (only if BOOT IND switch is OFF).
 Power Supply to wing and stabilizer de−ice Timer control is from L MAIN BUS.

de−ice the detector in a cyclic manner. When the
frequency of vibration is sensed to be at a ”no ice”
level the heating is switched off, the ICE COND in-
dication light is extinguished and a new ice detec-
tion cycle is started. If the ENG ANTI−ICE has been
switched ON previously, and remains ON, the blue
status lights will remain steady, i.e. the flashing is
suppressed.
The ice detector is powered from R AC GEN BUS.

2. NORMAL OPERATION

CONDITIONS NORMAL PROCEDURES

2.1 GENERAL During ground operation there might be transient drops in PROP RPM, below
the preset AC generator trigger level. If the drop lasts more than 7 seconds the
AC generator will trip and MASTER CAUTION / ICE PROT (CWP) lights will
come on together with AC GEN caution and other AC−powered system caution
lights in the overhead panel.
There are also cases where ice protection system caution lights will come on
without AC GEN caution light. This is due to an inherent warning system time
delay.
The AC generator will come on line automatically when PROP RPM increases,
and the engine INTAKE caution light will go out. However, the windshield
FRONT/SIDE and PROP caution lights can only be extinguished by resetting
the systems (switches selected to OFF and then to desired position).

2.2 DEFINITIONS DEFINITIONS


AND FOD Definition of icing conditions for engine anti−icing operation
PREVENTION For engine anti−ice system operation, icing conditions exist whenever the out-
side air temperature (OAT) or static air temperature (SAT) is + 5 degrees C
(Plus 5 C) (+10 according to FAA AD 96−01−04 R1 and 2008−06−11) or colder
and:
− There is any type of visible moisture present (such as clouds, fog with visibil-
ity of one mile or less, rain, snow, sleet, ice crystals); or
− When on the ground, there is standing water, slush, or snow (hard packed
snow excluded) on the ramps, taxiways or runways.
When anticipating engine anti−ice operation turn on engine anti−ice early. Turn-
ing engine anti−ice on well in advance will preheat the surface and thereby pre-
vent ice formation. Turn engine anti−ice on if there is any possibility that icing
conditions exist.
Definition of icing conditions for propeller de−icing system operation
For propeller de−ice system operation, icing conditions exist when the OAT or
SAT is −5 degrees C (Minus 5 C) or colder and any ice accretion is observed on
any part of the aircraft.
Definition of icing conditions for operation of wing and stabilizer de− ic-
ing boots and for adherence to minimum airspeed and autopilot/flight di-
rector limitations for icing conditions
For operation of wing and stabilizer de−icing boots and for adherence to mini-
mum airspeed and autopilot/flight director limitations for icing conditions, icing
conditions exist when:
− The OAT or SAT is +5 degrees C (Plus 5 C) or colder and there is any type
of visible moisture present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of one mile or
less, rain, snow, sleet, ice crystals); or
− Any amount of ice is observed on any part of the aircraft; or
− If it is not certain that there is no ice accumulation on the aircraft.

FOD PREVENTION
CAUTION
Ice must never be allowed to build up on the engine air intake lips or intake. Once
ice formation occurs, turning on anti−ice may free the ice build−up in chunks that
could be sucked through the engine compressor, possibly causing Foreign Object
Damage (FOD) and a power interruption.

DO NOT RELY ON AIRFRAME VISUAL ICING CUES TO TURN ENGINE


ANTI−ICE ON. USE THE TEMPERATURE AND VISUAL MOISTURE CRI-
TERIA SPECIFIED FOR ICING CONDITIONS.
Takeoff on RWY with standing water, slush, wet or dry snow
When taking off in this condition there is a risk of spray ingestion into the en-
gines. Switch on engine anti−ice when ambient temperature is +5 C (+10 C
according to FAA AD 96−01−04 R1 and 2008−06−11) and below (operation
may be restricted by national rules).
For a/c with Mod.no 3529
Departure when icing conditions on ground and expected icing after
lift−off
− When engine anti−ice is selected, before take−off, L/R ENG ANTI−ICE lights
on the Flight Status Panel will come on. Use these lights, also as Ice Speed
”armed” lights. This is the indication that the stall warning will change (in-
crease) the stall warning triggering airspeeds after 6 minutes from lift−off.
(See also FLIGHT PROCEDURES 25/3 and 25/10 Takeoff briefing and Call−
outs).
Ice formation discovery during darkness
When operationally feasible, switching on the cockpit dome light will increase
the possibility of discovering unexpected ice, for example on the wipers.
Using the strobe−lights or switching on the landing lights now and then will in-
crease the possibility of identifying unexpected icing conditions.
The air inlet can be inspected from the cockpit by use of a flashlight.
Operation in and after certain icing conditions
During flight through heavy snow, heavy sleet or ice crystals, substantial
amounts of ice may be collected on parts of the bird catcher even with a fully
functioning engine anti−ice system. This is no problem as long as a positive air-
flow through the birdcatcher is assured. However, REVERSE POWER OP-
ERATION BELOW 50 KTS (EVEN WITH A FULLY OPEN EXHAUST
NOZZLE) AND DURING PROPELLER BRAKE OPERATION WITH A MORE
THAN 30 PERCENT ICED−UP (BLOCKED) NOZZLE THE AIRFLOW IS RE-
VERSED THROUGH THE BIRDCATCHER.

CONDITIONS NORMAL PROCEDURES

(Cont’d)
Such conditions are potentials for ice being sucked into the engine. After en-
countering such conditions, keep the engine anti−ice system ON for the dura-
tion of flight at temperature below +5 C if operationally feasible.
Engine anti−ice ON during ground operation after landing will assure that both
the air and the walls in the birdcatcher is warmed up. This will expedite the melt-
ing of possible ice collected in the birdcatcher. However, if the prevailing tem-
perature is below the freezing point, de−icing of the birdcatcher might be neces-
sary. An inspection of the air intake/birdcatcher for possible residual ice/snow
will determine the need for de−icing of the birdcatcher.
If icing conditions have been encountered during flight
− If operationally feasible, avoid use of reverse thrust below 50 KIAS.

2.3 WING AND The Boot De−icing must be used As defined for operation of wing and stabi-
STABILIZER lizer de−icing boots ( see page 2), or upon annunciation from an ice detector
DE−ICE system (if installed), whichever occurs first except:
OPERATION
− During take−off, until reaching 400 feet above threshold elevation, use boots
only at first sign of ice anywhere on the aircraft.
− If SAT is below−40 _C, use boots only if ice is observed accumulating on any
part of the aircraft.

2.4 ENGINE Engine anti−icing must be used


ANTI−ICE As defined for engine anti−icing operation (see page 2), and maintained ON for
OPERATION at least 5 minutes after exiting icing conditions.
On ground, move CL into MIN/MAX range as soon as possible after engine start
and switch ON engine anti−ice.
CAUTION
On the ground, use the officially reported temperature when deciding upon use of
engine anti−ice system as temperature on EFIS is normally too high.
NOTE
When switching Engine Anti−ice ON or OFF check proper function by observing a
decrease or increase in engine torque setting. If no decrease or increase, reduce
power to below 88 % Ng, cycle switch (OFF then ON) and then increase to max
cruise power to restore proper function.
NOTE
APPLICABLE TO AIRCRAFT WITH COX INTAKES (Mod No 2095 installed). In
extremely cold temperatures L/R INTAKE light may come on after engine anti−ice
activation because of the relatively long time to reach working temperature. Se-
lecting the switch to OFF then ON will solve the problem since at this time the
intake has been preheated.

CAUTION
Except for the first 6 minutes after liftoff, make sure to have a speed not less than
the published minimum speed with engine Anti−ice ON (speeds with applicable
ice increment) before selecting engine Anti−ice ON.

 In MAX mode when the temperature is −13 C SAT or colder.
CAUTION
It is essential to use the correct propeller de−ice mode (NORM or MAX).
Turning on propeller de−ice in too warm temperature or using propeller de−ice in
wrong mode may cause performance degradation up to 30%.
NOTE
Increased propeller RPM improves the ice shedding capabilities of propellers and
spinners. Therefore, select max PRPM if severe icing conditions are experienced
or expected.
NOTE
If unacceptable propeller vibrations occur in the temperature range −10 C to
−12 C SAT due to propeller ice, use MAX mode. If unacceptable vibrations occur
at warmer temperatures than −10 C use MAX for a short period until the vibra-
tions disappear. Bear in mind the possibility of runback ice with subsequent per-
formance degradation if the system is continuously operating in MAX at SAT

3.1 GENERAL General notes applicable to the ice protection systems


NOTE
In case of unserviceable engine intake anti−icing system, ice may have accumu-
lated in the birdcatcher. Normally the airstream in the birdcatcher will prevent ice
to be sucked into the engine compressor. However, reverse power operation be-
low 50 KIAS will cause a reversion in airflow through the birdcatcher.
AVOID USE OF REVERSE POWER BELOW 50 KIAS IF OPERATIONALLY
FEASIBLE.
NOTE
After encountering icing conditions with a faulty anti−ice system ice may shed
from unheated surfaces. If ice FOD is suspected notify maintenance.
NOTE
If one engine is shut down with the other engine running, there will be an automat-
ic power transfer to the stopped propeller de−ice system if the propeller de−ice
system is kept on. This could create overheat and damage to the propeller protec-
tive boot due to less airflow around the stopped propeller. Therefore, switch off
the propeller de−ice system of an engine that has been shut down.

Description

1. GENERAL

The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) records the last


30 minutes of cockpit communications and sounds
using a four channel endless magnetic tape. The
recorder with its crashproof housing is installed in
the rear compartment.
The CVR operates continuously as soon as L BAT
and ESS AVION switches are set to ON.
The CVR records audio communication directly
from the Remote Electronic Unit (REU) on three
separate channels for pilot, copilot and PA/Cabin
Interphone. The fourth channel records sounds
picked up with the cockpit area microphone in the
overhead panel.
The whole tape can be erased in a few seconds
provided aircraft is on ground and gust lock set.
The recorder is provided with an underwater locator
beacon which is automatically started when sub-
merged in water. The locator is battery powered
and will send out acoustic signals for 30 days.
An Inertia switch will switch off the CVR saving the
records if the aircraft longitudinal G−load exceeds
2.5 G.

1. GENERAL

The Solid State Cockpit Voice Recorder (SSCVR)


records the last 30 minutes of cockpit communica-
tions and sounds using digital solid state memory
circuits. The recorder has a crashproof memory
capsule and is installed in the rear compartment
accessible through the aft cargo compartment wall.
The SSCVR operates continuously as soon as LH
BAT BUS is powered and ESS AVION switch is set
to ON. It will continue to operate until a force of
more than 2G opens the contacts of the inertia
switch, or the ESS AVION switch is set to OFF.
The SSCVR records audio from four communica-
tion channels, the PA system, the pilot and co−pilot
communication and the audio in the flight compart-
ment area. The CVR continuously records each of
the four audio inputs in the solid state flash memory
for a maximum period of 30 minutes, before new
data is recorded.
The solid state memory can be erased provided
aircraft is on ground and gust lock set.
The recorder is provided with an underwater locator
beacon which is automatically started when sub-
merged in water. The locator is battery powered
and will send out acoustic signals for 30 days.

1. GENERAL

The Solid State Cockpit Voice Recorder (SSCVR)


records the last 2 hours of cockpit communications
and sounds using digital solid state memory cir-
cuits. The recorder has a crashproof memory cap-
sel and is installed in the rear compartment accessi-
ble through the aft cargo compartment wall.
The SSCVR operates continuously until a force of
more than 2G opens the contacts of the inertia
switch, or the ESS AVION switch is set to OFF.
The SSCVR records four audio communication
channels from the PA system, the pilots commu-
nication and the audio in the flight compartment
area. The CVR continuously records each of the
four audio inputs in the solid state flash memory for
a maximum period of 30 minutes, before new data
is recorded.
With a Solid State Cockpit Voice Recorder with 2
hours recording time is installed, both pilots and the
PA communications are combined in a fifth audio
channel and in the sixth audio channel the audio in
the flight compartment is recorded by the cockpit
area microphone. Both the fifth and the sixth audio
channel are recording with a standard quality for 2
hours.
The solid state memory can be erased provided
aircraft is on ground and gust lock set.
The recorder is provided with an underwater locator
beacon which is automatically started when sub-
merged in water. The locator is battery powered

NOSEWHEEL
STEERING
Do not use nosewheel steering when aircraft is standing still.
Taxi
1. Nosewheel steering . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CHECK
− Check nosewheel steering for normal operation.
NOTE
When HYD PRESS approaches the recharge level (2100 psi) the force to con-
trol the nosewheel steering might increase substantially. Consider to place the
HYDR PUMP temporarily into OVRD to increase pressure.

CAUTION
Avoid sharp turns at high speed or sharp turns assisted by differential power or
braking.The nose wheel may swing around 180 degrees. Only differential pow-
er sufficient to maintain speed in turns is permissible.

Backing
− Slow backing of the aircraft is permissible, start backing by depressing the
nose steering wheel and apply reverse power as required. Keep the nose
steering wheel depressed and limit the steering to approx. 45 degrees
deflection either side on the nose steering wheel. Stop backing by advancing
the Power Levers to forward power as required.
− If the nose steering wheel is not depressed there is a possibility for the nose
wheel to swing uncontrolled 20 degrees either side.
− Depressing the nose steering wheel with a deflection limit of 45 degrees ei-
ther side will prevent the nose wheel to be mechanically forced to swing
around 180 degrees.
Parking
When parking, maintain a straight path for the last few feet to relieve stress in
the landing gear.

− Brake smoothly during initial taxiing to verify brake operation.
− Use the following braking technique when taxiing:
Light braking will often activate the brakes unevenly due to system tolerances.
This may cause overheating of the most active brakes. To achieve a more even
loadsharing between the four brakes, it is advisable to let the aircraft accelerate
to a speed slightly higher than desired and then momentarily apply the brakes
rather firmly with due regard to passenger comfort.
NOTE
Normally the taxi speed can easily be controlled by power modulation without
using brakes.

INTRODUCTION OF MAP MODE


Compared with a standard VOR pointer with deviation bar, the MAP mode offers a visual presentation on the
EHSI which can also include weather radar presentation.
The MAP mode displays the received VOR/DME stations distance and radial as an octagonal shaped symbol
in RHO−THETA position (distance and radial) with respect to the aircrafts actual position.
The selected NAV/DME:s station ident code will be displayed next to the station symbol.
A courseline is drawn solid on the TO side of the VOR symbol and dashed on the FROM side.
The VOR deviation indication displayed on the EADI is similar to a standard VOR deviation bar i.e. full devi-
ation scale equal to 10 degrees.
If RNAV Installed and displayed in MAP mode, the RNAV determined waypoint will be presented as a star
shaped symbol but without any ident code.
The RNAV waypoint symbol will also start to flash prior to waypoint passage.
By adding weather radar information to the MAP mode, the flight path may be planned with respect to current
weather situation.
The MAP mode may also be used to visually set up a proper intercept point to next VOR.

IMPORTANT In MAP mode, the station symbol with courseline and ident code will not be displayed if:
a. Selected NAV source is only a VOR or only a DME station (both VOR and DME required).
b. DME is set to DME HOLD.

The systems described in this chapter assumes a


certain modification standard of the aircraft. If a
modification is not installed, the following apply as a
complement to what is stated in this chapter.
DESCRIPTION/OPERATION

Without Mod 1310 installed:


− EFIS will not display DME station ident code on

0.2 DME STATION IDENT PRESENTATION ON


EFIS MAP MODE

Without Mod 1476 installed:

General
Audio information from the DME system is used by
the EFIS to determine the station identifier dis-
played.
EFIS requires two valid station idents before dis-
playing a station identifier. The DME idents are
transmitted at 30 second intervals.

Station ident
When selecting a new DME station by use of
standby/active frequency transfer method, the
former DME stations ident faulty remains displayed
on EHSI and MFD (if installed) for as long as up to
90 seconds.
If no coded audio identifiers are received from the
new station the ident information will remain invalid.
Operation
Therefore in any case, the flight crews must disreg-
ard DME 1 and DME 2 station idents displayed on
EHSI/MFD.

Activated Target alert is indicated by a steady yel-

start to flash and alert the pilot if the signal strength
of the echo increases up to storm cell level and the
target is detected in a sector within 50 to 150 NM
and 15 of dead ahead regardless of selected
range.

2. MAIN COMPONENTS AND SUBSYSTEMS

2.1 Antenna

The ANT−212 is installed inside the nose glassfibre


radome. It has a scan sector of 90. The antenna is
also stabilized up to 30 in the pitch axis to com-
pensate for aircraft movement in order to have a
stable scanning. The antenna is not stabilized in roll
which causes parts of the radar picture to disappear
with roll movement of the aircraft. The antenna can
be manually tilted between 15 from horizontal.

2.2 Transceiver

The transceiver operates in the X−band at a fre-


quency of 9,345 GHz. It transmits and receives the
radar beam and transforms the result into digital
information fed to the radar control panel.

2.5 GAIN Operators must recognize that reducing the gain of the system reduces the ef-
CONTROL fective range and the sensitivity of the system. The variable GAIN control
should only be used to reduce the receivers sensitivity to aid in determining the
relative intensity of multiple thunderstorms and locating embedded cells in a
rain front at low altitude and in terminal areas − not to locate a path to penetrate
the storm area. As the gain is reduced the red areas of the target will eventually
be displayed as yellow and the yellow areas will turn into green. The red area
that is the last to change to next lower level is the strongest part of the target. If
there is a large area of red displayed and the pilot desires to know which way to
deviate to avoid the strongest part of the cell, he may reduce the gain slowly and
note which part of the target remains red longest. That is the strongest part of
the red return and the area to avoid by the greatest distance.
Reducing the gain when ground mapping through light rainfall will clear up the
ground picture. GAIN is flashed on the display whenever a reduced gain mode
is selected. Do not leave the GAIN control reduced after use, always return to
MAX (CAL for TWR 850) position.

WXR 200

How to see the difference between a strong cell and a severe thunderstorm.
Example:
− Red color comes on at a reflectivity over 40 dbz.
− Strong and very strong cells have reflectivities in excess of 40 dbz.
− Severe thunderstorms have reflectivities in excess of 50 dbz.
− Each click on the GAIN control reduces the receiver sensitivity with 6 dbz.
All cells in a weather system that still indicates red after the GAIN has been re-
duced two clicks, must be treated as severe thunderstorms.

The WXR 350 weather radar has a fifth color, magenta, which comes on at a
reflectivity exceeding 50 dbz.

2.6 HOLD BUTTON The (weather) hold function allows the pilot to evaluate storm direction and rate
of movement relative to the aircraft’s present heading. The hold function will
provide the greatest assistance when used on longer ranges. On shorter
ranges, the weather situation can change too rapidly to justify using the hold
function.

2.7 TILT SETTINGS The radar beam is a narrow cone with a beam width of 6 for 18 inch antenna
(with STB and 8 for 12 inch antenna and it sweeps in a plane relative to earth. The tilt
selected) control is used to vary the sweep of the beam up or down with respect to the
plane of the earth. The key to best weather radar effectivity is precision antenna
tilt management for detection, analyzing and avoiding hazardous convective
weather handling of the TILT control allows the pilot to measure precipitation
densities, the height of a storm, rain core shapes, rain gradients or even distin-
guish between weather and ground echoes. Described further on are some
technics to manipulate the TILT control for best weather detections.
1. Finding the calibrated 0 tilt
With STB selected the 0 index on the TILT control should normally position the
radar beam in parallel to the surface of the earth. (We can ignore the earth cur-
vature up to 60 NM distances.) This will be true only if the radar antenna has
been properly aligned with precision instruments like by the aircraft manufac-
ture. However, experience has shown that the alignment will sometimes devi-
ate after workshop visits and overhauls of the radar system. Therefore the tilt
index must be checked and calibrated before the pilot can rely on the tilt ef-
fectivity.
If we bear in mind that everything connected with tilt management is angular, we
will find that when tilt is changed in degrees, the beam is displaced up or down a
certain numbers of feet dependent on the distance from the aircraft. The num-
bers of feet at a particular distance can easily be calculated by this formula:
distance x 100 = feet per degree.
One degree of tilt change moves the beam up or down 100 feet at one NM from
the antenna.
At 5 NM the movement is 5 x 100 = 500 feet. At 12,5 NM; 12,5 x 100 = 1250 feet
etc. This formula can now easily be applied to determine the time zero tilt.
On a clear day, start with level off the aircraft and set a normal cruise speed,
over flat terrain.

With STB selected, turn the tilt down until the ground echo is displayed from the
range arc and out. Then identify the altitude AGL and the arc range in the follow-
ing table. By adjusting the tilt with the value taken from the table, the radar beam
will be leveled in parallel with the surface of the earth . Now, any difference be-
tween this tilt setting and the 0 TILT index is a result of misalignment.

2. The parked position


Any time when not operating the radar RANGE and TILT controls the radar
should be set to the parked position. The idea is to set up the radar so that the
radar beam slightly tilted down to provide ground returns from a certain dis-
tance and outwards relative the selected range. With this setting on the radar
the pilot is given a fast and certain mean to insure the radar is functioning and
most important, a possibility to recognize radar shadows.
With ground returns displayed on the indicator;
− any prominent echo that works back inside the ground returns is probable
weather.
− any echo that can not be identified as a city, hill, mountain peak or geological
structure is a weather system.
− if black areas start to grow from the outer edge of the ground return on the
indicator and inwards, the aircraft is approaching a radar shadow.
− any echoes that changes rapidly in size, shape or intensity is a dynamic
weather system.
− If the indicator goes totally black, the radar has failed.

With the parked position selected, the pilot can also easily measure the clear-
ance to an object. Suppose that an echo working back toward the aircraft, is
fading out at the 30 NM range. The echo has faded because it has worked back
under the radar beam. Fading out at 30 NM means that the echo − whatever it is
− will be cleared by about 1200−1500 feet (depending on which antenna). If the
echo fades out at 2 NM it will be cleared by less than 800−1000 feet, if at all. The
formula is: half the beam width + 1 x range x 100. Beam width is 6 for 18 inch
antenna and 8 for 12 inch.
To find the parked position, set the tilt down one degree. Then adjust the
range control so that the ground is being painted on the outer one−third to
one−half of the indicator. The following table shows range setting versus alti-
tude and distance from where the ground return is painted.

3. Tilt up position
If the tilt is precisely positioned so the bottom of the beam sweeps on a plane
parallel to the earth’s surface, the radar will detect and display objects that in-
trude through the flight level of the aircraft. This tilt position can be set by using a
simple technique.
Set the tilt so that ground returns are being displayed for example from the 50
NM arc outward. Then drop the thousands from the aircraft height (AGL), divid-
ed by 5, and move the tilt up that number of degrees.
Example:
Flying at flight level 210, assume that the present ground elevation is 1000 feet,
the height AGL will be about 20000 feet, and 20 divided by 5 equals 4. Then note
the tilt setting with the bottom of the beam sweeping on the 50 NM arc, then
increase tilt by the number of degrees equal to the calculation (4 degrees).
The calculation can also be made with other range settings.

If finding the calibrated 0 tilt technique has been conducted. The Tilt up posi-
tion can also be performed by moving the tilt up one−half beam width from the
calibrated 0 tilt position.
One−half beam width is: 3 for 18 inch antenna and 4 for 12 inch antenna.
4. Measure the height of a radar target
The tilt can also be used to determine the height of a radar target. Slowly in-
crease the tilt in 1 increments from the setting calculated above until the echo
becomes so weak that it almost disappears from the display. The bottom of the
beam is now barely overscanning the top of the target. Now calculate the height
of the target relative to the aircraft’s altitude with this formula:
Distance to the target multiplied by 100 multiplied by the number of degrees the
tilt was increased equals targets radar height.
Example:
A target is displayed at 50 NM with the bottom of the beam leveled at the aircraft
altitude. After increasing tilt, the echo disappeared at 4. Now calculate the
height of the target like this:
50 x 100 x 4 = 20000 feet
The radar top of the target is 20000 feet above the aircraft.
Observe that this method measures the radar top of the target, it does not mea-
sure total storm height, hazards may exist several thousands feet above the
radar top. The method can also be used to measure radar tops below the air-
craft altitude in the same manner by adjust the tilt downward . The method will
work with airborne radars out to a distance of 60 NM. Beyond that, the curvature
of the earth and some other factors render it unreliable.
A repetition of the height determining method is recommended in 2 to 3 minute
intervals when approaching a weather system to monitor whether the storm is
growing in height or dissipating. Rapid growth in radar height of the weather
above 20000 to 30000 feet, indicates a very hazardous weather system. Expe-
rience has proven that the hazards associated with a weather system are di-
rectly proportional to its radar height. In terminal areas, any storm with a radar
top exceeding 20000 feet AGL is a potential killer.

5. + 10 tilt.
Sometimes there is just no time for much knob tweaking and calculating during
a busy approach. In those cases the + 10 on the tilt method is to prefer. Exe-
cute the method every 2 minutes for best efficiency. With + 10 on the tilt,
echoes displayed at distances of 25 NM or more have radar tops of at least
25000 feet above the present altitude and echoes at 15 NM or more have radar
tops of more than 15000 feet above present aircraft altitude. Never leave the tilt
at + 10 for more than a 5−10 sweeps at most. Always return to the Parked posi-
tion.

2.8 PREFLIGHT Make it a part of preflight to check the radar prior to leaving the ramp. Set the
AND CLIMB− Mode selector to TEST.
OUT TIPS While taxiing or when the aircraft is clear of terminal area and other aircraft, se-
lect the shortest range on the radar panel, set the Mode selector to WX, and
then adjust the antenna tilt downward until ground echoes appear at the bottom
of the display. This is a confidence check to ensure the radar is operational.
Tilt the antenna upward and use the radar to determine the weather situation
around the airport while taxiing and lined up, especially in darkness (make sure
to be clear of other aircraft).
The best radar performance and confidence check is while airborne. The check
is quite simple, if the radar can not display ground returns to a distance of at
least 100 NM it can not be trusted. It is convenient to perform the check at 10000
feet because at 10000 feet the line of sight is just 100 NM. Perform the check as
the aircraft is climbing through 10000 feet AGL. With STB selected, set RANGE
at 200 NM and the TILT control at −1. Now check radar picture when passing
through 10000 feet. There should be ground returns displayed out to a distance
of at least 100 NM.

2.9 AVOIDANCE Along squall lines, individual cells are in different stages of development. Areas
PATH between closely spaced, intense echoes may contain developing clouds not
PLANNING having enough moisture to produce an echo. The lightest level (green) may or
may not be displayed, which would indicate light rainfall rates or no rainfall; yet,
these areas could have strong updrafts or downdrafts. In penetrating a squall
line, fly as far from building cells as possible. Avoid contoured areas of the dis-
play (areas of intense turbulence) by at least 10 miles or more, whenever pos-
sible. Targets showing wide areas of green are generally precipitation without
severe turbulence.
Avoid all cells containing magenta and red areas by at least 20 miles, if possible.

Avoid to deviate downwind unless absolutely necessary. The changes of en-
countering severe turbulence and damaging hail are greatly reduced by select-
ing the upwind side of a storm.

2.10 TERMINAL There are three Life−and−death rules for terminal area:
AREAS
− With +10 tilt, any echo that appears on the display at 20 NM or greater must
be avoided regardless if it is contouring or not.
− With +10 tilt, any echo giving contours regardless of distance must be
avoided no matter how high it is.
− With +10 tilt and aircraft in landing configuration, if any contouring echo is
detected within 5 NM and can not be avoided, perform immediate go−
around. If lined up for takeoff, do not go.
Also on an approach, do not hesitate to ask the controller how the weather looks
like from the tower side. Ask questions like the following:
− What does the weather look like from your position?
− How long time ago did the weather develop?
− Does the weather seem to be dissipating or growing?
− Is the weather moving?
− At what speed and direction is it moving?
− Is the weather in a line?

2.11 RADAR Extremely heavy rainfall can reduce the ability of the radar waves to penetrate
SHADOW and present a full picture of the weather area. This condition is referred to as
“radar attenuation”. It is a case where ground returns can be helpful in analyzing
the weather situation. Tilt the antenna down and observe the ground returns
around the radar echo. With very heavy intervening rain, the ground returns be-
hind the echo will not be present but rather will appear as a shadow. This may
indicate a larger area of precipitation than appears on the indicator.
Shadowing storms will also contain microbursts, downbursts, larger hail, ex-
treme turbulence and very possibly, tornadoes. Never fly toward a radar shad-
ow, always avoid penetrating a shadowed area. Standing on the ground and
scanning a storm with +5 till +15 tilt. If the storm echo appears bowed or cres-
cent shaped, arcing away from the radar, opposite to the range arc on the dis-
play, it is a shadow producing severe thunderstorm. Another indication is also a
dip on the backside of the echo pointing toward the radar.

THE ULTIMATE RADAR RULE IS:


NEVER EVER CONTINUE FLIGHT TOWARD A RADAR SHADOW.

2.12 THUNDER- The most intense echoes are severe thunderstorms with a reflectivity in excess
STORMS of 50 dbz. Remember that hail may fall several miles from the cloud. It is also
important to bear in mind that radar detects presence of precipitation. Storm
associated turbulence without precipitation can extend several thousand feet
above a storm and outward more than 20 miles. The pilot should avoid the most
intense echoes by at least 20 miles, if possible. Thunderstorm development is
rapid. A course that appears clear may contain cells a short time later. When
viewing the shorter ranges, periodically select one of the longer ranges to ob-
serve distant conditions. This permits early planning of necessary avoidance
maneuvers. Do not be fooled by the size of an echo. Even an echo as small as
1500 feet in diameter may produce extreme danger.
Studies have shown that thunderstorms tend to travel in the direction of the
winds around the 10000−foot level. New cells generally form on the side of the
cloud in the direction toward which it is moving, usually an easterly direction.
Newly developing cells often do not contain sufficient water to reflect an echo,
yet, they can cause severe turbulence. In general, detour to the diminishing
side of thunderstorms, especially if passing at close range
See 2.5 GAIN CONTROL for how to identify severe thunderstorms.

2.13 TORNADOES The extreme case of severe turbulence is a tornado. Cumulonimbusmamatus


clouds producing tornadoes have, in a few instances, been related to a charac-
teristic target display. The display is not usually different from that of a regular
thunderstorm.
Radar display of clouds, from which tornadoes were confirmed, have, on occa-
sion, shown the formation of a hook pattern in connection with the tornado. A
narrow, fingerlike portion extends from the cloud display and, in a short time,
curls into a hook and closes on itself. Other echoes associated with tornadoes
are V−shaped notches and doughnut shapes. These shapes do not always in-
dicate tornadoes, nor are tornado echoes limited to these characteristic pat-
terns. Of the confirmed radar observation of tornadoes from target thunder-
storms, most displays have not shown shapes different from those of a normal
thunderstorm display.

CONDITIONS NORMAL PROCEDURES

(Cont’d)
Conditions conductive to tornado formation produce severe updrafts and down-
drafts that carry large amounts of water to great heights. Contouring areas (WX
mode) with steep rainfall gradients that produce echoes at high altitudes (TILT
control up more than usual) are indicative of tornado−forming conditions. In no
case should these areas be penetrated. Avoid them by a margin of at least 20
miles, since turbulence extends outward from the echoproducing area for larger
distances.

2.14 HAIL Hail results from updrafts carrying water high enough to freeze. Consequently,
the greater height of a thunderstorm echo, the greater the probability that it con-
tains hail. An estimate of the height can be made by the amount of antenna uptilt
required to view the upper part of the target echo. In the upper regions of a cloud
where ice particles are “dry” (no liquid coating on the particle), echoes will be
less intense. Liquid water reflects about 5 times more radar energy than solid
ice particles of the same mass. Since hailstones are considerably larger than
water drops and are usually coated with a thin layer of liquid water, the echo
intensity from “wet” hail is greater than that from rainfall. Thunderstorm targets
having an intensity greater than that associated with maximum rainfall will most
likely contain hail.
It is not always possible to determine from the display, whether the echo is from
hail or rain. Instances have been reported of hail targets producing fingerlike
protrusions up to 5 miles long and blunt protuberances up to 3 miles from the
edge of a thunderstorm echoes. In parts of the world were hail occurs often,
contouring extensions (WX mode) from thunderstorms generally indicate the
presence of hail. This same type of display is also associated with new convec-
tive cells that may not yet contain hail.
As with tornadoes, there are no uniquely distinctive displays that are, in all
cases, associated with hail. Protruding fingers, hooks, scalloped edges, and U−
shapes are display shapes that have been associated with hail, yet hail echoes
are not limited to these shapes. These displays, however, do indicate areas of
severe turbulence and must be avoided by a wide margin.
Echoes from hail can appear quickly and along any edge of a storm cell. These
echoes can also change in shape and intensity in a vary short period of time. For
this reason, close and careful monitoring of the display is required.

2.16 RADAR ECHO ROUND OR OVAL


Convective rain shower and general storm cells tend to produce a round or oval
echo. They should never be penetrated, but either one can be approached to
within a couple of miles. The circumnavigation distances should be greater the
more the shape deviates from round to oval.

STEEP GRADIENT
Gradient is the distance from the outer edge of the echo to the red color which is
the core of the cell. The rain gradient depicted in an echo is directly proportional
to vertical shear potential. The steeper the gradient, the greater the potential for
severe vertical shears and also horizontal shears near the ground.

SCALLOPED EDGES
Echoes with a wavy scalloped edge is quite typical for a hail producing storm.
Presence of extreme hail shafts exist if the echo also shows protrusions, protu-
berances, U−shapes, hooks and fingers.

HOOKS, FINGERS AND NOTCHES


V−shaped or U−shaped notches indicate extreme vertical shear. A finger that
appears to curl into a hook or closes into a loop is an indication of suspected
tornadoes. Be aware of large hooks protruding from the echo.

PENDANT
An echo shaped like a pendant is a sign of a tornado producing storm. Most
major tornado producing storms have had this shape. A notch in the large end
indicates a strong wind aloft blowing towards the large end from the small end.
Variations of the pendant shape can also be echoes looking like a frying pan, a
heart or a spearpoint. The echo normally moves towards the notched end.

HOURGLASS
A two cell connected together relationship should be carefully avoided. In such
a complex combination, one cell will frequently become dominant and suching
the energy and moisture from the weaker cell. This kind of development can
result in an weather explosion producing extreme microbursts with surface
gusts above 70 knots. Also expect extreme rain. This entire event is very rapid
and may occur as fast as five minutes.

BUILDING AND DISSIPATING ECHOES


A storm which has passed through mature stage and has begun to dissipate
shows an echo with an indistinct and fuzzy appearance along the outer periph-
ery. It will still be dangerous but with some patients, it will dissipate into a non
dangerous area of heavy rain. Small echoes with a hard crisp look is a charac-
teristic shape of a growing storm. Be very carefully about about over flying any
growing storms, seems the development very rapid and well in excess of 6000
feet per minute.

2.4 Possible consequences of internally un-


detected RALT failure

AP/FD − Approach mode


A misleading radio height information will cause the
feedback gains in the glide slope tracking to be
tuned for a flight condition that differs from the actu-
al:
− Too high radio height indication could result in
more pronounced pitch commands than what is
intended at low height, if a glideslope deviation
exists.
− Too low radio height indication could result in
slower pitch commands than what is intended.

NOTE
“Loss of approach mode” warning will not be ob-
tained.

Effects on other systems such as EFIS, GPWS/


TAWS, ACAS/TCAS and master warning system
are described in respective system description.

− AHRS is back−up power supplied from L/R BAT
BUS in lieu of L/R HOT BAT BUS.
− Success of AHRS to stay on line during engine
start without Mod No 1438 installed depends on
the efficiency of the ground power unit in use. In
many cases AHRS will go off line caused by low
voltage or voltage transients, requiring reinitial-
ization after engine start. With external power
supply only HOT BAT BUS’es are powered by
the batteries when the Mod is installed.

2. NORMAL OPERATION

CONDITIONS NORMAL PROCEDURES

2.1 GENERAL Special considerations must be taken to correctly initialize inertially based atti-
tude heading reference systems in order to establish correct attitude and head-
ing references with respect to earth references. During the alignment or initiali-
zation period, an inertial system is susceptible to aircraft movement and to
some extent bus voltage transients. The method traditionally used to initialize
an inertial system is to apply power to the system and to keep the aircraft sta-
tionary until all errors in the system are biased to zero. Aircraft movement due to
taxiing will cause inertial errors that are excessive. To avoid voltage transients,
operation of hydraulic pump operation shall not be performed during initializa-
tion.
AHRS initialization requires approximately 70 seconds to be completed after
that electrical power was switched on. To reduce the time with passenger
aboard until commence taxiing, the recommendation is to perform AHRS initial-
ization before engine start when using external power for start up, and after first
engine start when using aircraft batteries for start up.

2.2 POWER The two AHRS’s are switched ON/OFF by L and R AVION switches and the
SUPPLY Standby Horizon by ESS AVION switch.
AHRS 1 and 2 main power supply is from L/R AVIONIC BUS respectively, how-
ever if AHRS main power is switched off (L/R AVION switched OFF) or during
engine start, a timer circuit is activated supplying back up power from L/R HOT
BAT BUS. The back up power timer circuit will keep AHRS on line for 11 minutes
and 12 seconds.

and standby ADI is 3 or less (Roll and Pitch) and that heading is not
slewing away from aircraft heading.
In theory AVION switches could be ON during engine start but practical experi-
ence shows that Flight Director warning may come on after engine start de-
pending on electrical transients during engine startup. In most cases the warn-
ing goes out after about 30 seconds but it may remain on, and can then only be
cleared by switching L/R AVION switches OFF/ON.

ACTIONS

1. See AOM 15/1.2, ABNORMAL PROCEDURES: AHC DATA FAILURE.

3.2 COMPARATOR CAUTION


CAUTIONS The AHRS design is such that HDG Comparator caution (caused by external
magnetic disturbance to the flux detectors) is considerably more frequent than
PTCH and ROLL comparator cautions.
Experience has shown the possibility of inadvertently over−looking a ROLL or
PTCH comparator caution when resetting a believed caution for HDG comparator.
Therefore, the recommendation is to treat all avionic cautions as a PTCH and/or
ROLL comparator caution until it is positively established that this is not the case.
A Comparator Caution does normally show the same on both sides, but there is a
possibility, due to design tolerances, to get a caution on one side only. This should
be treated as if there were a caution on both sides.
A Comparator Caution tells us that the two systems differ and must be checked
with a third reference.
It should also be observed that the Avionic Master Caution and Chime are inhib-
ited when T/O INH button is illuminating.

REMOTE ANNUNCIATORS
A WPT − Illuminates approximately 15 seconds prior to a leg change.
When the light comes on, the appropriate message will be
available on the CDU. The light will automatically go out
when the leg change occurs.
XTK − Illuminates when a parallel course has been selected for the
current navigation leg. The XTK will remain on until the par-
allel course is cancelled manually or automatically at the
next leg change.
MSG − Flashes when a message is given on the message page.
HDG − Illuminates whenever the heading mode has been selected.
When the annunciator is on, the FMS flight director and
autopilot outputs are referenced to a pilot selected heading
rather than to the active FR−TO nav leg. The FMS heading
will remain on until the heading mode is either automatically
or manually cancelled.
GPS − Is an integrity uncertain annunciator and it will come on
when the GPS sensor is in NONE or ALARM states.

After passing each waypoint in the Terminal Area, the FMS reverts to Enroute

waypoint in the SID/STAR. When selecting Terminal Mode, the lateral deviation
display full scale deflection will change from 5 NM to 1 NM. Selection of Terminal

When the temperature or pressure goes down after
the valve has closed the BLD FAULT light will go

The valve is pneumatically actuated and requires a
bleed pressure of min. 10 psi for operation. In case
of loss of electrical control power the valve fails
open.

2.5 Cross manifold and Cross valve

The cross manifold connects the left and right en-


gine bleed systems.
A cross valve in the manifold makes it possible to
interconnect the two bleed systems. The valve may
only be opened on the ground. The valve is con-
trolled by a 2−position switch on the AIR COND
panel. To open the valve requires one BLD VALVE
to be closed. If, when the X VALVE is open, both
BLD VALVEs are set in AUTO the X VALVE will au-
tomatically close.
As a confirmation of an opened valve X VALVE
OPEN light in the AIR COND panel will come on.
The valve is pneumatically actuated and requires a
bleed pressure of min. 10 psi for operation. In case
of loss of electrical control power the valve fails
closed.

2.6 Hot air leak detection

A temperature variable resistance continuous loop


hot air leak detector system is installed. The loop is
routed alongside the bleed ducting between the en-
gine nacelle and the cross valve on each side of the
aircraft. The loop terminates at a control unit. If the
control unit senses a temperature of 205 (400F),
the affected side’s BLD AIR LEAK light in the AIR
COND panel will come on together with AIRCOND
master caution.

1.3 PROPELLER BRAKE LIMITATIONS


NOTE
Operations with reduced propwash will increase the temperature in the flap bay area as well as the skin
temperature of the wing trailing edge. Flaps down selection will lower the temperature, therefore it is rec-
ommended to select flaps 15 or flaps 20 during prolonged engine ground operation with a feathered propel-
ler.
CAUTION
Ensure flaps area is clear from equipment and personnel before flaps is selected down.
− The propeller brake must not be engaged at ambient temperature below + 3C when visible moisture is
present.
− Max. tailwind component with propeller brake engaged is 18 kts.
− Minimum time between brake actuations is 10 minutes.
− Max steady−state ITT 895
− Engine operation with propeller braked requires a qualified person in the co−pilot seat.
− Do not exceed max. allowable ENG RPM, as per Table 1 during propeller brake operation.
− First brake application of the day must be with the engine running. The propeller must stop rotating within
5 seconds. This is to check the conditions of the brake.
Applicable to a/c without SB 61−028, Mod 2066 (Propeller−Prop Brake slippage due to PGB

2. NORMAL OPERATION

CONDITIONS NORMAL PROCEDURES

2.1 GENERAL ”Hints for longer engine life” and ”FOD−prevention” are procedures to
minimize maintenance expenditures. The procedures are recommended to
reduce engine temperature and to avoid FOD (Foreign Object Damage) to
engines and propellers during ground operations. However, the procedures
must be adopted with full safety consideration. Nothing herein should pre-
vent the pilot from applying maximum forward and reverse thrust for safety
reason. Nothing herein should prevent the pilot from taxiing at a safe speed.
The procedures might deviate from operators standard operating proce-
dures and must therefore be adapted in a way that required test− and
checkitems before takeoff and after landing are performed.
Operation in gravel areas and on FOD surfaces is not recommended. Re-
quest through appropriate authorities that the ramp, taxiway and runway be
cleared. Get rid of stones, pebbles and dirt. Remain on clean surfaces for all
ground operations. However, if operation on FOD surfaces can not be
avoided, following the ”FOD−prevention” procedures will minimize possible
damage.
CAUTION
Do not taxi using reverse power rather than aircraft brakes. FOD engine ingestion
may result.

Although mentioned in section ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION, the extreme


importance of switching on engine anti−ice well in advance of entering icing
conditions to prevent FOD, can not be over−emphasized.
To emphasize the importance of keeping a low ITT, some of the normal pro-
cedures are also highlighted in ”Hints for longer engine life”.

2.2 ENGINE Hints for longer engine life

−If possible, avoid tailwind starts. Starting engine in a strong tailwind may

cause a HOT start. If strong tailwind and it is operationally feasible, per-
(See also 3.3

the other engine.
COMBINED

(Cont’d)
−Bleed air, especially HP−bleed will have considerable impact on ITT. HP−
bleed may be necessary to operate boot de−ice system or for cabin com-
fort in hot or cold climate. Use HP−bleed only when required. Turn HP−
bleed off when requirements have been satisfied. When using HP−bleed
use Table 1 (17.2 page 7) as a guide for initial setting of Ng to obtain a
low ITT. Minor Ng adjustments may decrease ITT further. For propeller
brake operation, Table 1 gives the maximum allowable Ng.
FOD−prevention
−Pick up loose objects on the ramp.
−Keep running propellers over hard, clean surfaces. If this is not possible,
consider either:
a) Start−up and taxi out on one (most suitable) engine;
b) Start−up both engines. Leave one CL in START (feathered) position and
taxi out on one (most suitable) engine.
Prevention of sub−idle overtemperature
There is a potential possibility for sub−idle overtemperature when placing
electrical or bleed air loads on an engine running at ground idle speed.
After engine start the Ng must always be maintained at or above the idle
speed observed when the engine was initially started.
Increasing the Ng 2−3%, whenever possible, especially during tailwind
conditions, prior to placing electrical or bleed air loads on the enigne will
greatly reduce the potential of a sub−idle event.
Low compressor efficiency, bleed air extraction (LP/HP), and electrical loads
on the accessory drive, in combination, may cause Ng to be reduced to a
speed where the gas generator is no longer able to sustain operation.
This situation may result in a rapid decay of Ng and Np, a rapid rise in ITT,
and can cause extension damage to the engine, if the crew fails to immedi-
ately shut down the engine by placing the condition lever to FUEL OFF.

Electrical system damage prevention
If during a ”Motoring” start the IGN switch is set to NORM and the CL is ad-
vanced to START at about the same time with the IGN switch leading the
CL movement, the start signal to the start relay will be interrupted momenta-
tily similar to a poor ground power unit. The flight crew will not see the inter-
ruption in the cockpit displays. This causes the start relay to begin coming
open and then go closed again resulting in nothing more than loss of contact
pressure causing burning of the contacts (damage of the PDUs). To prevent
this from happening, the flight crew should verify that the CL is in the START
position before setting the IGN switch to NORM. At no time should the CL
be moved below the START detent unless the start is being terminated or
the engine is being shut down using published procedures.

NOTE
Motoring Start is the recommended procedure for all engine starts on ground due
to;
− High airflow during initial start and thereby leaner fuel to air ratio and improved
fuel burn.
−”Direct Start”: Start without motoring.
Both starting methods can be performed by use of different power sources −
hence:
−”Battery Start”: Start on batteries only (batteries in series).
−”Cross−over Start”: Start on batteries and one generator (batteries
in parallel).
−”EXT PWR Start”: Start on external power.
NOTE
EXT PWR requirement is 1400 Amp minimum and 1600 Amp maximum. If EXT
PWR <1400 Amp it is recommended to perform Battery and Cross−over starts to
facilitate engine acceleration.
Repeated Battery Starts may bring the Battery Temperature above limits. This is
especially pronounced in hot weather operation if short times between starts. (The
Battery Temperature increases approx. 10−15 degrees every Battery Start).
Therefore, check Battery Temperature now and then, and when required, perform
an EXT PWR Start.
NOTE
During battery start there might be nuisance Fuel Flow fluctuations due to voltage
variations. To avoid these fluctuations, for the engine being started, it is recom-
mended to perform a Battery Start on the RH engine and thereafter a Crossover
Start on the LH engine.
NOTE
During starting at sub−idle engine speeds and after shutdown, nuisance fuel flow
indications up to 900 lb/h (400 kg/h) may be observed with the CL at FUEL OFF.
Since there is no evidence of actual fuel flow (ITT indication) this situation is con-
sidered to an indication error only and does not affect the operability of the en-
gine.
The engine start shall be aborted for any of the following conditions:
−Ng does not start to increase at starter activation
−If Ng ceases to accelerate for 3 seconds prior to achieving stabilized IDLE

Direct Start
A direct start is accomplished by advancing the CL to START and then acti-
vating the START sw (L/R) for 2 seconds.
Check of power plant parameters during acceleration to ground idle
−Ng, Light−up, ITT, Oil press, propeller rotation and S/G cut−out.
There might not be PROP RPM instrument indication at low propeller speed
(CL in START). The uncertainty is due to low Np sensor output signals.
Fuel Flow indication may be delayed during start sequence due to transmit-
ter tolerances at low fuel flow rates.
The increase in Ng might be slow. However, as long as Ng increases and
ITT does not exceed 965C the start attempt can continue. Watch Ng care-
fully. If any tendency of Ng to stop accelerating, abort the start immediately.
NOTE
Cold weather operation
Engine OIL BYPASS light may be on due to high oil viscosity if oil temperature is
cold. The FUEL LOW TEMP light may be on if the fuel is cold. The light will re-
main on until the PROP OIL temperature has increased enough to heat the fuel.
It is normal with high oil pressure on the engine and PGB during initial start when
the oil is cold. The engine’s oil pressure should return to 30 − 100 psi after engine
operates at ground idle speed for 5 minutes. However, time required for warm up
will depend on temperature of the engine and of the oil system, before start. Time
to warm engine oil may be reduced by gradually increasing gas generator speed,
up to a maximum of flight idle, exercising care not to exceed the oil pressure limi-
tations in the AFM.
When the engine is cold−soaked, PGB oil temperature will rise slowly. After en-
gine oil temperature has reached the normal operating range, bottoming govern-
ing (CL in min−max range) may be engaged and the power increased up to flight
idle to reduce the warmup time of the PGB oil, exercising care not to exceed the
oil pressure limitations in the AFM. If PGB oil pressure is within normal operating
range, takeoff may be initiated when the PGB oil temperature reaches 25_C.

CAUTION
After the propeller brake has been released, operate the engine for two minutes
with CL in START and PL in GND IDLE prior to increasing PROP RPM or engine
shut down. This is required in order to stabilize the power turbine temperature.
The temperature profile across the disks with the turbine stopped are different
compared with a rotating turbine. With this procedure the temperature is returned
to the normal operating profile. After two minutes, the mechanical stresses
(blades pulling on disks at higher speed) can be increased. Not following this pro-
cedure will shorten the life of the disks.

General
The right propeller may be braked, allowing the engine to be used as an
auxiliary power unit supplying electrical and pneumatic power for operation
of the aircraft systems without the need for a ground power unit.
CAUTION
If a malfunction occurs during operation of the propeller brake or any motion of
the propeller occurs after application of the brake, the engine must be shut down
immediately.

2.4 GROUND BOTTOMING GOVERNOR OPERATION


OPERATION
On ground the BG is disabled with CL out of MIN−MAX range.
(Applicable for
a/c with Mod With BG disabled and propeller rpm below 1040 for more than 15 sec., mo-
No 1544) mentary Ng acceleration with subsequent EXCESSIVE OVERSWINGS
(strength depending on time and difference from 1040) in torque/propeller
rpm may occur at enabling.
CL in Unfeather position (just after of MIN) and PL in GND IDLE gives
approx. 950 PROP RPM. Moving CL into MIN−MAX range from this position
will cause EXCESSIVE OVERSWINGS which have a detrimental impact on
power plant components and should be avoided.
To avoid EXCESSIVE OVERSWINGS at BG enabling:
−After engine start, advance CL to MIN and simultaneously check the 42%
circuit function. The propeller starts to unfeather and PROP RPM in-
creases. Ng should start accelerating at 581 PROP RPM (not before).
PROP RPM will slightly overswing then stabilize at 1040. The overswing
obtained at this procedure is acceptable.
−Avoid enabling BG by moving CL from UNFEATHER position into MIN−
MAX range. If this procedure for any reason must be executed, first ad-
vance PL slowly until Np is above approx. 1100 PROP RPM, wait approx.
10−15 seconds and then advance CL.
−If on ground with CL in MIN−MAX and PL in FLT IDLE to 64 PLA ranges
and the Np should drop to below 1040 PROP RPM, the WoW switch
function has failed. If this occurs, and higher power is required, advance
PL slowly until Np is above approx. 1100 PRO RPM, wait approx 10−15
seconds and then advance PL.
Hints for longer engine life
−When possible avoid strong tailwinds during taxi delays.
FOD−prevention
If suspect FOD surfaces:
−Do engine run up checks (i.e. engine and propeller overspeed tests) over
clean and hard surfaces only.

−Taxi slightly faster than normal with as little power as possible over sus-
pect FOD surfaces. This may be done by adding power when passing a
clean surface and then transit the FOD surface with min. power. If this is
not suitable taxi at slow speed with low power.
−Use brakes, not reverse thrust, to decrease taxispeed.
−Behind other aircraft, taxi with greater spacing than normal.
Before taxiing
1. PL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . GND IDLE
−Check Ng/Np are stable. If indication is abnormal,
shut down engine and request maintenance check.
2. CL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . MIN then MAX
−This will enable the BG function.
−Lift CL out of START and move to MIN position. When Ng starts to accel-
erate at 581 PRPM, move CL to MAX. Positioning CL into MIN−MAX
range will enable the bottoming governor. The propeller will unfeather and
maintain 1040 RPM.
CAUTION
When moving CL from START to MIN, Ng should not start to accelerate until
PROP speed reaches 581 RPM. If Ng increases before 581 RPM retard CL im-
mediately to FUEL OFF, as an overtorque otherwise will occur.

−Modulation of PL between GND IDLE and FLT IDLE will directly control
propeller pitch between 0 and 10 degrees. The bottoming governor func-
tion will maintain 1040 propeller RPM as long as PL is below FLT IDLE.
−If reverse thrust is required the PL’s may be moved aft of GND IDLE into
reverse. When a propeller blade is below −10 pitch the BG−function will
maintain above 1200 RPM.
−Operating with PL above FLT IDLE is only required to start taxiing in snow,
uphill etc.

2.5 TAKEOFF Hints for longer engine life


−Bleed valve closed takeoffs means lower ITT which increases engine reli-
ability and life.
−”Reduced power takeoffs” will significantly increase engine reliability and
life and reduce maintenance expenditures. When possible and operation-
ally feasible, select runways which will allow reduced power for takeoff.
NOTE
For ”Reduced power takeoff” limitations procedures and performance, see AFM
and AOM Sect. 28.
In addition to the limitations, consider possibly downdrafts and windshears if ob-
stacle limited and/or windy conditions. Full use of reduced power will result in the
aircraft operating near the performance limits. Although there are extra margins
built into the reduced power takeoff concept, these extra margins might be easily
consumed during unfavorable conditions.
−When max. takeoff power is set (e.g. takeoff or go−around) with engine
anti−ice ON and/or ECS OFF, set climb power prior switching off anti−ice
or switching on ECS. This is to avoid the possibility of exceeding maxi-
mum rated takeoff power.
FOD−prevention
−Make rolling takeoffs if possible.
−Apply power smoothly. An abrupt power application greatly increases pos-
sibility for FOD.
General
−CL must be in MAX position.
−To meet different performance criteria there are different ”methods” for
takeoff power application and aircraft handling. The ”methods” and corre-
sponding performance data are described in the AFM and AOM Sect. 28.
−Check AUTOCOARS ARM light to come on when setting takeoff power. If
power is set asymmetrically the AUTOCOARS ARM light may go off
when torque differs and will come on again when symmetry is regained.
Power setting with CTOT
−Advance PL and STOP PL MOVEMENT at 15−20% TRQ below selected
TRQ, then select CTOT switches to ARM.

Power setting with CTOT
−Advance PL and STOP PL MOVEMENT at 15−20% TRQ below selected
TRQ, then turn CTOT switches to ARM.
NOTE
It is essential to stop PL forward movement at 15−20% below selected TRQ. If
not, the selected TRQ might be exceeded due to torque blooming during acceler-
ation.
Power setting without CTOT
−Advance PL and set torque according to power setting chart. Do not adjust
power above 60 KIAS. The torque blooming will increase the torque by
approx 5%.
WARNING
During an aborted takeoff the PL must be retarded fully to the FLT IDLE position
prior lifting the latch allowing PL to be moved below FLT IDLE.
If the latch is lifted with PL above FLT IDLE the PL will be stuck with consequen-
tial increased stopping distance.

REDUCE TORQUE PRIOR TO REDUCING PROP RPM.
ADJUST TORQUE ACCORDING TO AOM POWER SETTING CHARTS.

Adjust PL to climb power, then set CL to desired PROP RPM.
Readjust PL as necessary.
With CTOT
−Gently rotate CTOT knob counter clockwise to decrease torque, then se-
lect the CTOT switch to OFF. This method will give a smooth power re-
duction and is recommended during normal operations.

CONDITIONS NORMAL PROCEDURES

NOTE
The design of the CTOT system does not prevent rapid power reductions. Rotat-
ing the knob too fast or selecting the switches to OFF prior using the knob can
have an adverse impact on the engine operation.
It is therefore essential to gradually reduce the TRQ by the CTOT knob to a value
below that of the PL’s and then select the switches to OFF. Power reduction rate
using the knob should be no greater than that which would be considered a good
power setting technique using the PL’s.
−After CTOT is disengaged, adjust PL to climb power, then set CL to de-
sired PROP RPM and readjust PL.
−PROP SYNC should be turned ON to reduce vibration and cabin noise.
Adjust CL to within 10 PROP RPM before turning on. The PROP SYNC
switch may remain in ON position during PROP RPM changes and pro-
pellers will be synchronized when within 10 PROP RPM diff. However, the
best result for synchrophasing is to turn the system OFF before and ON
after PROP RPM adjustments.
NOTE
During normal operation it is important that the CTOT switch is set to OFF
during the initial climb after takeoff or go−around. If the switch is not set to
OFF, the torque will be constant and the ITT will gradually rise to above
limits as the aircraft climbs. To avoid this, always verify the switch is OFF
physically by the hand.
−Check that FI STOP light is out after gear retraction.
−During climb now and then adjust PL to required TRQ.

−High PROP RPM will increase the drag and the rate of descent.
−Move CLs gently to avoid unnecessary stress on propeller and PGB.
CAUTION
With PL retarded to FLT IDLE the autoignition (L IGN/R IGN) lights may come on
due to low compressor discharge pressure. The autoignition can be deactivated
by increasing the torque above FLT IDLE by approx. delta TRQ as below:

NOTE
It is important to retard the PL’s fully to the FLT IDLE before the latches are lifted
in order to be able to move the PL’s further into the BETA range.
PL’s in GND IDLE will schedule the propeller to zero pitch.
Modulation of the PL’s below GND IDLE will schedule propeller pitch be-
tween zero pitch and max reverse (−16 pitch). PROP RPM will increase
automatically and be kept above 1200 RPM (may vary slightly during transi-
tion). The PROP RPM increase is independent for each propeller and starts
when the propeller is below −10 pitch.

2.11 ENGINE SHUT


DOWN ON NOTE
GROUND − There is a 2−minute cool−down period requirement with HP bleed OFF, be-
fore shutdown. This is to cool internal engine parts from high operating tem-
peratures and to prevent seal rubs during restart.
− The cool−down period may commence upon landing if HP−bleed is OFF and
PL remains between FLT IDLE and GND IDLE (no reverse) after landing.
− Otherwise operate engine with PL in GND IDLE and HP−bleed OFF for 2
minutes before shutdown.

CAUTION
The propeller should feather and PROP RPM decreases. If PROP RPM does not
decrease, move CL to FUEL OFF immediately, otherwise engine will accelerate to
overtorque and overtemp condition.

CAUTION
If left engine is shut down or left generator is turned off during intaxiing, check
BUS TIE light to come on. This is to ensure proper nosewheel steering and anti−
skid function.

6. Repeat items 4 and 5 for R engine.

2.14 PROPELLER Upon activation of PROP OVSP test switch, engine parameters TRQ, ITT,
OVERSPEED Ng, F/F and PROP RPM should start to cycle. PROP RPM should drop to
GOVERNOR approx. 970 and then oscillate up to approx. 996 RPM (test threshold
TEST speed).
The torque motor is electrically locked out by a switch in the propeller over-
speed governor, thereby momentarily disabling the bottoming governor func-
tion.
When PROP RPM decreases below 996, the overspeed governor no longer
functions in the overspeed mode and the torque motor and bottoming gover-
nor function is reactivated, therefore ITT and F/F will cycle with an increas-
ing amplitude. When the test switch is activated, Ng should start to drop. If
Ng does not change the bottoming governor disabling switch may not have
opened. Ng and PROP RPM drop may be marginal to observe and may dif-
fer from engine to engine.

2.15 POWER FLUC- Even if the procedures for activation of the engine anti−ice system has been
TUATIONS followed, power fluctuation(s) may occur during the time the system is acti-
vated or shortly after the system is deactivated. This is caused by snow ac-
cumulated in the birdcatcher and ingested into the engine causing a mo-
mentary power drop.
Power fluctuation occurs primarily at altitude >10 000 feet and at tempera-
tures between ISA and ISA+20. Repeated fluctuations may occur. A power
fluctuation is recognized as a momentarily drop in engine indications, with
consequently slight yaw. In some cases flames might be seen in the exhaust
pipe followed by a bang. All parameters recover in 1−4 seconds. If the auto-
ignition is activated, a L(R) IGN light will come on for approx. 7 seconds.
Power fluctuation(s) should not be considered as abnormal engine behav-
ior, and no action is required by the crew. Should a bang and/or a flame be
noticed, it is recommended to inform the passengers about this “normal en-
gine characteristics”.
NOTE
Experience reveals that in most cases the autoignition system is an active part in
the power drop recovery process. Therefore, it is essential to test the autoignition
system.

−ITT and Ng will decrease if flameout. Other failures may create different
indications.
−Ignition Light may come on.
−PROP RPM will decrease if autocoarsen occurs, otherwise PROP RPM
remains about 1200−1384 depending on aircraft speed.
−When propeller autocoarsens the Flight Status Panel AUTOCOARSEN
ARM light goes out.
−When engine (Ng) has spooled down to about 28% the ECU is no longer
powered and all signals from the ECU for TRQ − and PROP RPM − in-
dications will be zero.
2. Autocoarsen propeller characteristics.

−When a propeller autocoarsens the propeller pitch changes to approx. 55


and the PROP RPM will start cycling below 60 to about 600 RPM. One
cycle takes about 20 seconds.
−The variation in PROP RPM causes negligible variation in drag corre-
sponding to less than 30 ft/min rate of climb variation.
−The cycling RPM given above (60−600) are real RPM whilst cockpit PROP
RPM indication depends on the nature of the failure. The indication will be
zero if engine (Ng) spools down to about 25%.
−The cycling can be heard in the cockpit.
NOTE
With two good engines operating normally a momentary autocoarsen (autofeath-
er) system activation may occur during power application when power on one en-
gine is applied from low to high power setting. The activation may occur if P3 is
still <120 psi when the PL reaches w 64 degree PLA. Certain conditions such as
low atmospheric pressure, low airspeed and high temperature may cause all nec-
essary parameters to be fulfilled. The activation will cause a momentary PRPM
drop and then an overswing. At further PL advancement Ng and P3 will increase,
the coarsened propeller will quickly generate more torque and the autocoarsen
signal is cancelled. With the PL stationary at or slightly above 64 degree PLA a
continuous activation and deactivation may occur causing PRPM and TRQ to
vary continuously. Further PL advancement will deactivate the system.

3. Propeller drag.
Influence on performance of a feathered or wind−milling propeller versus a
coarsened propeller. Numbers are approximative at normal takeoff and land-
ing speeds and are given as increase of grossweight and decrease in rate of

WARNING
An unfeathered propeller of an engine with the PL at FLT IDLE and CL in MAX
will produce more drag than a feathered propeller with the CL in FUEL OFF. The
drag difference is considerable and varies with speed, increasing with speed re-
duction down to approx. 100 KIAS. Further speed reduction will decrease the
drag difference.
NOTE
OEI performance is based on a feathered propeller with CL in FUEL OFF.
NOTE
A windmilling uncoarsened propeller rotates at a ”steady” RPM (1200−1384) de-
pending on aircraft speed and results in a substantial yawing moment.

With AUTOCOARS ARM light off during approach or landing, retard CL (affected
engine) to FUEL OFF immediately.

CAUTION
Following an engine failure, if an autocoarsen has not occurred, an abrupt PL re-
tardation may cause severe yaw due to propeller windmilling drag. Be prepared to
move CL of the failed engine to FUEL OFF immediately.
NOTE
If an immediate shut down is required, CL may be moved directly to FUEL OFF
prior to retarding PL. Moving CL directly to FUEL OFF is essential especially if
engine is still producing power. Any pause in the FEATHER range may cause an
overtorque.

motor affects operation on ground only.
LOCKOUT
−Some abnormal procedures call for the torque motor to be locked out. The
purpose is to prevent engine electrical control failures from causing actual
uncommanded power plant response.
−When procedures call for torque motor to be locked out, prompt action
should be taken.
−After the torque motor has been locked out:
 the bottoming governor function is disabled;
 the CTOT/APR function is not available;
 the reverse power is poor;
 the torque motor can not be reset without shutting down the engine by mov-
ing CL to FUEL OFF.
−Subsequently also some other systems are affected and special consider-
ations have to be taken:
 the AC generators will go off line during ground operation, thereby affecting
the ice protection system, however, when on ground only;

 if the a/c has to be dispatched with torque motor locked out, both torque
motors must be locked out and the a/c must be operated according to
CTOT inoperative procedures/performance;
 if only one engine has the torque motor locked out, asymmetric and re-
duced reverse power will be obtained with PL’s at the same position. Lock-
ing out both torque motors restores the ability to obtain symmetric reverse
although the reverse thrust is poor. If one torque motor has to be locked out
when airborne consider also to lock out the other torque motor.
NOTE
With torque motors locked out, positioning PLs at GND IDLE after touch down
gives a retardation equal to 50% of max. reverse thrust during landing roll and
gives more retardation than positioning PLs into REV. At low speed (taxiing) the
situation is the opposite, however, to slow down from taxi speed to a stop, by use
of reverse only, will take a long distance.
−To lock out the torque motor:
CAUTION
Keeping Condition Lever in T/M position will cause fuel to be vented overboard.

−Move CL to MAX, then lift up and push hard into T/M, then pull back to
approx. half between MAX−MIN, then set desired PRPM.
−This will mechanically lock out the torque motor. Pulling CL to approx. half
between MAX−MIN will ensure closing of the vapor vent valve.
2. End of procedure.

3.9 STARTER/ INDICATIONS

SENSOR SIG- −No BUS TIE CONN light;
NAL FAILURE −No overhead caution lights and no CWP amber lights.
During the starting cycle non−essential cautions (overhead and CWP amber
alerts) are inhibited. The Warning Annunciator System (WAS) reverts to the
T/O INH mode due to loss of power on L/R ESS Busses caused by the
Starter Relay being energized until a 55% Ng speed sensor signal de−ener-
gizes the Starter Relay and the WAS reverts back to the GND OP mode.
If for any reason the speed sensor signal fails the S/G will remain in the
starter mode and after the start−up no BUS TIE CONN light and no over-
head and CWP cautions will come on.

WARNING
It is prohibited to move PL below FLT IDLE when airborne.
During engine start on ground, PL is placed into GND IDLE position. Due to the
fact that this is the ”normal start position”, there is a possibility, by habit, to move
PL to this wrong position also during an engine restart in flight.
If PL is moved below FLT IDLE there will be no control of the propeller speed with
consequential extremely high drag and uncontrolled flight.

reference shaft in the area of the torque reference shaft’s rear snubbers.
ACTIONS
If ”torque stiction” occurs while retarding power levers, to minimize the dura-
tion of the stiction, retard the affected power lever toward FLIGHT IDLE and
pause. Experience indicates that the torque indication will unstick and will
indicate the actual torque after a few minutes of operation at the new lower
power setting. When the actual torque is indicated, or as conditions dictate,
return the power lever to match the other engine.
If ”torque stiction” occurs on a forward movement of the power levers, match
the power levers and maintain the expected ITT difference between the two
engines. Experience has shown that the indication will return to the actual
reading within a few minutes.

Aircraft Operations Manual WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS, OVERSPEED WARNING


Description

1. GENERAL
An aural overspeed warning is provided in form of a
continuous horn. The warning comes on if VMO
should be exceeded by 1,5 − 6 knots.
The Air Data Computer (ADC) outputs the over-
speed signal to the Master Warning System which
generates the aural overspeed warning. As a back-
up the right Airspeed indicator also provides an
overspeed signal to the Master Warning System
(VMO exceeded by 1,5 − 6 knots).
The overspeed warning can be tested by the AIR
DATA test switch on the TEST 2 panel (mainte-
nance only).

Description
2.3 Standard TCAS II definitions
a. ACASII/TCAS II − An ACAS (Airborne Collision
Avoidance System) or TCAS (Traffic alert and Colli-
sion Avoidance System) that utilizes interrogation
of, and replies from airborne radar beacon trans-
ponder and provides traffic advisories (TA) and res-
olution advisories (RA) in the vertical plane.
b. Other Traffic − is defined as any other traffic within
the range of the display and within  2700 ft vertic-
ally.
c. Proximate Traffic − is defined to be any traffic not
generating an RA or TA but which is within six nauti-
cal miles (nm) slant range and within  1200 ft ver-
tically.
d. Traffic Advisory (TA) − Information given to the pilot
pertaining to the position of intruding aircraft in the
immediate vicinity. The information contains no
suggested maneuver.
e. Threat − Traffic that has satisfied the threat detec-
tion logic and requires a Resolution Advisory (RA).
f. Resolution Advisory (RA) − A display indication giv-
en to the pilot recommending a maneuver to in-
crease vertical separation relative to an intruding
(threat) aircraft.
(1) Corrective Advisory − A Resolution Advisory
that instructs the pilot to deviate from current
vertical rate.
(2) Preventive Advisory − A Resolution Advisory
that instructs the pilot to avoid certain devi-
ations from current vertical rate.

NOTE
Flight director pitch commands may be followed only if they result in a vertical
speed which satisfies the RA command.

NOTE
It is possible in some cases to have insufficient aircraft performance to follow the
TCAS RA command without flying into stall warning or buffet.

Conditions where this may occur include:


− Bank angle in excess of 15 degrees.
− Operation at airports outside 0−5300 ft MSL or at temperatures outside ISA
 50 F /  28 C.
− Speeds below normal operating speeds.
− Buffet margin less than 0.3 G.
− Failure to configure for go−around following a climb RA in landing configura-
tion.
− Failure to advance thrust to full rating following a reduced power thrust take-
off.
− Abnormal configurations which reduce performance. (e.g., gear not retract-
able)
− TCAS command reversal to an “INCREASE CLIMB, INCREASE CLIMB” or
a ”CLIMB, CLIMB NOW”.

b. The TCAS RA algorithms are based on the pilot initiating the initial maneuver
within approximately 5 sec., and within approximately 2 1/2 sec. if an additional
corrective RA, for example, increase or reversal, is issued.
c. If ATC requires that transponder altitude reporting be disabled, setting MODE

a. RECOMMENDED FLIGHT CREW PROCEDURES

NOTE
Flight director pitch commands may be followed only if they result in a vertical
speed which satisfies the RA command.

NOTE
It is possible in some cases to have insufficient aircraft performance to follow the
TCAS RA command without flying into stall warning or buffet.

Conditions where this may occur include:


− Bank angle in excess of 15 degrees.
− Operation at airports outside 0−5300 ft MSL or at temperatures outside ISA 
50 F /  28 C.
− Speeds below normal operating speeds.
− Buffet margin less than 0.3 G.
− Failure to configure for go−around following a climb RA in landing configura-
tion.
− Failure to advance thrust to full rating following a reduced power thrust takeoff.
− Abnormal configurations which reduce performance. (e.g., gear not retract-
able)
− TCAS command reversal to a ”CLIMB−CLIMB−NOW”.

IF A GPWS/TAWS WARNING OCCURS DURING AN RA MANEUVER, IM-
MEDIATELY ABANDON THE RA MANEUVER AND EXECUTE THE AP-
PROPRIATE GPWS/TAWS RECOVERY PROCEDURE. If a GPWS/TAWS
warning occurs, TCAS will automatically revert to TA only mode and TCAS aural
messages are inhibited. Normal TCAS operation will resume when GPWS/TAWS
warning ceases.
b. The TCAS RA algorithms are based on the pilot initiating the initial maneuver with-
in approximately 5 sec., and within approximately 2 1/2 sec. if an additional cor-
rective RA, for example, increase or reversal, is issued.
c. If ATC requires that transponder altitude reporting be disabled, setting MODE se-
lector to ON on the ATC control panel will automatically cause TCAS to be in
standby (TCAS OFF on TA/MFD indicator and RA OFF on RA/VSI indicator).

− The 1/2 switch located on the ATC control may be in either ”1” or ”2” position
when using the MODE S or TCAS system.

2.2 SYSTEM TEST 1. Self−Test


− The TCAS II system should be tested prior to flight. Put the TCAS mode se-
lector to ”AUTO” and the ATC mode selector to ”ALT” and momentarily press
the test button on either the TCAS control panel or the ATC control panel.
− The TA/RA/VSI indicator should present a test pattern.
− After completion of self−test, ”TCAS SYSTEM TEST OK” audio annunci-
ation will be heard.
− Use of self−test function in flight will inhibit TCAS II and Mode S Transponder
operation for up to 20 sec., depending upon the number of aircraft being
tracked.
− If ”TCAS SYSTEM TEST FAIL” is heard or if a TCAS flag appears, the TCAS
system should be turned off.

NOTE
Flight director pitch commands may be followed only if they result in a vertical
speed which satisfies the RA command.

NOTE
It is possible in some cases to have insufficient aircraft performance to follow the
TCAS RA command without flying into stall warning or buffet.

Conditions where this may occur include:


− Bank angle in excess of 15 degrees.
− Operation at airports outside 0−5300 ft MSL or at temperatures outside ISA
 50 F /  28 C.
− Speeds below normal operating speeds.
− Buffet margin less than 0.3 G.
− Failure to configure for go−around following a climb RA in landing configura-
tion.
− Failure to advance thrust to full rating following a reduced power thrust take-
off.
− Abnormal configurations which reduce performance. (e.g., gear not retract-
able)
− TCAS command reversal to an “INCREASE CLIMB, INCREASE CLIMB” or
a ”CLIMB, CLIMB NOW”.

IF A GPWS/TAWS WARNING OCCURS DURING AN RA MANEUVER,
IMMEDIATELY ABANDON THE RA MANEUVER AND EXECUTE THE AP-
PROPRIATE GPWS/TAWS RECOVERY PROCEDURE. If a GPWS/TAWS
warning occurs, TCAS will automatically revert to TA only mode and TCAS
aural messages are inhibited. Normal TCAS operation will resume when
GPWSTAWS warning ceases.
b. The TCAS RA algorithms are based on the pilot initiating the initial maneuver
within approximately 5 sec., and within approximately 2 1/2 sec. if an additional
corrective RA, for example, increase or reversal, is issued.
c. If ATC requires that transponder altitude reporting be disabled, setting MODE
selector to ON on the ATC control panel will automatically cause TCAS to be in
standby (TCAS OFF on TA/RA/VSI indicators).

NOTE
Flight director pitch commands may be followed only if they result in a vertical
speed which satisfies the RA command.

NOTE
It is possible in some cases to have insufficient aircraft performance to follow the
TCAS RA command without flying into stall warning or buffet.

Conditions where this may occur include:


− Bank angle in excess of 15 degrees.
− Operation at airports outside 0−5300 ft MSL or at temperatures outside ISA
 50 F /  28 C.
− Speeds below normal operating speeds.
− Buffet margin less than 0.3 G.
− Failure to configure for go−around following a climb RA in landing configura-
tion.
− Failure to advance thrust to full rating following a reduced power thrust take-
off.
− Abnormal configurations which reduce performance. (e.g., gear not retract-
able).

ICE PROTECTION SYSTEMS DURING GROUND OPERATION


Applicable for A/C with SB 76−018 Mod. No 1460 Eng. overspeed protection or GE 74−09, DR 61−11 Red/
Yellow harness and Modified Propeller Overspeed Governor.
During ground operation, there might be transient drops in PROP RPM below the preset AC generator trigger
level. If the drop lasts more than approx 7 secs. the AC generator will trip and MASTER CAUTIONS / ICE
PROT (CWP) lights will illuminate simultaneous to an AC GEN caution and other AC powered system caution
lights in the overhead panel. There are also cases where ice protection system caution lights will illuminate
without AC GEN caution light. This is due to an inherent warning system time delay.
The AC Generator will come on−line automatically when PROP RPM increases and the Eng. INTAKE caution
light will go out. However, the Windshield FRONT/SIDE and PROP caution lights can only be extinguished by
resetting the systems. (Switches turned to OFF then to desired position.)

WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
THIS AOM BULLETIN IS NOT APPLICABLE TO AIRCRAFT WITH MOD NO 2354 INSTALLED
(SB No 30−041 OR SB No 30−079).
Mod No 2354 consists of an improved resistor circuit for the LOW mode.
Some occurrences of overheating of resistors in the windshield wiper control circuitry has been reported.
These resistors affect the LOW and PARK mode only. The overheat has resulted in smoke being generated
in the cockpit.
To prevent reoccurrence until the design weakness has been corrected the procedures for operating the
windshield wipers are recommended to be changed as follows:
− HIGH mode shall always be used.
− When parking the wiper the rotary switch shall only be placed in PARK mode momentarily. ”Prolonged”
(longer than 1 second) operation in PARK mode with the wiper stationary in correct or erroneous parking
position may result in an overheat situation.
− The wiper shall never be operated on a dry windshield.
If smoke is being generated due to overhead, place the rotary switch in OFF position and the smoke genera-
tion will cease when the temperature goes down.

Mod No 2198, SB 61 − 026, Propellers − Introduction of new autocoarsen computer (A SAAB 340A model
with the basic autocoarsen system but with an improved computer which requires also P3 for uncoarsening).
Description
− A latch logic has been incorporated in the improved autocoarsen computer for the purpose of preventing
uncoarsening of an already coarsened propeller unless both TRQ and P3 returns above threshold values
(50%, 120 psi).
− There is no change of the input signals to the computer (TRQ, P3 and PLA) for arming the system, nor is
there any change of the signals or the logic for an autocoarsen activation.
− With the system selected ON, TRQ and P3 are the only parameters which can cause a propeller to un-
coarsen after it has autocoarsened regardless of whether the autocoarsen occurred in HIGH or LOW
mode.
− After an autocoarsen event the signals from each engine are processed separately which means there is
no comparison of signals between the engines any more.
Normal/Abnormal/Emergency procedures
− No change
Tests
− The latch logic must be reset every time the autocoarsening computer has signaled the propeller to auto-
coarsen. The reset is accomplished by setting the AUTOCOARSEN switch to OFF for at least 2 seconds
then ON or the Test Switch to RST, however, it is preferable to use the AUTOCOARSEN switch as the
torque signals decreases rapidly when RPM goes down and the test switch function requires a torque sig-
nal of about 10%.
− Autocoarsen system test / P3 switch test (Ref AOM 17/2) ;− with the AUTOCOARSEN switch ON, every
time L/R PUMP switches have been selected to MAN FEATHER the latch must be reset as described

Ground operation with Condition Levers
in unfeathered position
(CL’s below MIN−gate and
Bottoming Governor not enabled)
Ground operation, without the Bottoming Governor enabled results in reduced noice levels due to lower
PRPM and a change of blade angle. The noise reduction is specially noticable when PL’s are advanced
slightly above GND IDLE.
There has been an AOM restriction for operation with CL in unfeathered position (below MMIN−gate) on
ground. This restriction has been removed.
The restriction was introduced to reduce the time the Power Turbine was operated in one of its critical band
(750−970 PRPM), with the possibility for Power Turbine chafing. Further investigations have showed the
possibility to slightly narrow the critical band, therefor the CL may be positioned below MIN gate, however,
the PRPM must be kept above 950 PRPM. This is achieved by slightly advancing the PL’s. Operational as-
pects to be considered are;
The Pilot and AoA−sensor heating systems must be on for some minutes prior takeoff to ensure that the sys-
tems are free from any moisture or ice, therefore PRPM should be kept high enough not to come below the
AC−generator tripping point.
The AC−generators will come on line in the band 1000−1040 PRPM and they will trip off at a lower PRPM
(1000−874). There are differencies in tolerance between generators.
If operating into reverse without the Bottoming Governor enabled the PRPM will immediately go below 950
PRPM and the AC−generator trip off line. The reverse trust is negligible.
Should an AC−generator trip off line it will come on line automatically when PRPM is increased, however,
should the Windshield and/or Propeller de−icing Caution Lights come on, these systems must be reset.

CAUTION
In icing conditions and on slippery surfaces the Bottoming Governor must be enabled during taxiing prior
take−off and after landing. This is to ensure safe operation.

After Engine Start it is recommended to enable the Bottoming Governor by advancing CL into MIN−MAX
range. This is to check proper enabling at 580 PRPM and to ensure that the AC−generators come on line.
Also some engine checks require the Bottoming Governor to be enabled.

WARNING
The CL’s must never be retarded below MIN−gate when airborne except for shut down.

NOTE
For a/c without SB 76−023 (Eliminate of engine speed and torque transient during engine power
management on ground) there will be an unacceptable PRPM overswing when enabling the Bottoming
Governor from lower than 100 PRPM. To ensure no overswing, increase PRPM slightly above 1100 for
10−15 seconds prior advancing CL into MIN−MAX range. (See also AOM section 17).

Propeller Brake Operational Restriction
There have been cases where the Propeller has started to rotate during propeller brake operation with the
R PROP BRK switch selected ON.
The procedure calls for to ”maintain HYDR MAIN pressure between 2700 and 3000 psi by switching HYDR
PUMP switch between OFF and AUTO”.
As an extra safety feature a HYDR caution will come on if the pressure drops to a specified value.
The events have revealed that the warning has been triggered at a too low pressure, due to a faulty switch in
the Propeller Brake Valve.
Service Bulletins will be issued which will take care of the faulty component.
Until the Service Bulletins are implemented the following apply;
− During normal operation, with the propeller brake engaged, the HYD PUMP switch must remain in AUTO
position.

NOTE
There are no changes in the Abnormal and Emergency procedures.

TCAS SYSTEM CHANGES

BACKGROUND
TTR−920 TCAS II TRANSMITTER−RECEIVER
SERVICE INFORMATION LETTER
CAS LOGIC CHANGE 6.04A ENHANCED
The Service Information Letter provides information about the TCAS II inhibits, modes and parameter
changes made to enhance TCAS system performance and to make the system more compatible with the Air
Traffic Control System.

CHANGES
The changes are implemented in the TTR−920 TCAS II Transmitter−Receiver by service bulletin and are
identified by a change to the equipment part number. The following table relates baseline part numbers and
operational parameters to the new part numbers and requirements for Change 6.04A Enhanced enhance-
ments.

622−8971−014 622−8971−320

1. RA INHIBIT ALTITUDE:

TCAS shall inhibit all resolution advisories (RAs) when own aircraft is below the radio altimeter altitudes
listed in the following table.

BASELINE 6.04A ENHANCED


Aircraft Climbing: 600 ft AGL 1100 ft AGL

Aircraft Descending: 400 ft AGL 900 ft AGL

2. AURAL INHIBIT ALTITUDE:


All TCAS aural messages for traffic advisories (TAs) and resolution advisories (RAs) will be inhibited when
own aircraft is below the radio altimeter altitude listed in the following table.

3. DESCEND RA INHIBIT:
The descend RA inhibit altitude remains unchanged, descend resolution advisories (RAs) will be inhibited
when own aircraft is below the radio altimeter altitudes listed in the following table.

4. INCREASE DESCEND RA INHIBIT:

The increase descend RA inhibit altitude remains unchanged, increased descend resolution advisories
(RAs) will be inhibited when own aircraft is below the radio altimeter altitudes listed in the following table.
BASELINE 6.04A ENHANCED

Climbing/Descending: 1450 ft AGL 1450 ft AGL

5. TCAS MODE CHANGE:


With TA/RA (AUTO) mode selected the system will automatically switch from the TA ONLY mode to the
TA/RA (AUTO) mode or from the TA/RA (AUTO) mode to the TA ONLY mode at own aircraft radio altimeter
altitudes listed in the following table.
BASELINE 6.04A ENHANCED

Aircraft Climbing: 600 ft AGL 1100 ft AGL

TA ONLY to TA/RA mode


Aircraft Descending: 400 ft AGL 900 ft AGL

TA/RA to TA ONLY mode


These altitudes are applicable in the absence of other aircraft inhibits being valid at a higher altitude. An
example of this is on descent where the aircraft is both climb inhibited and descend inhibited at an altitude
higher than 400 ft AGL (Baseline) or 900 ft AGL (Change 6.04A). The TCAS mode would change from
TA/RA to TA ONLY at that higher altitude.

6. AIRCRAFT ON GROUND ALTITUDE:


Terrain fluctuations near the airport can, in some instances, result in the barometric ground altitude esti-
mate being lower than the airport elevation. As a result TCAS may issue traffic advisories (TAs) against
aircraft that are on or near the ground. To prevent such traffic advisories the ground altitude allowance value
used by TCAS has been increased in accordance with the following table.

BASELINE: 190 ft  10 ft

CHANGE 6.04A Enhanced: 380 ft  20 ft

OPERATION
The occurence of traffic alerts (TAs) against legally separated IFR traffic and when own aircraft is below 5000
feet has resulted in changes to the Vertical Threshold and the Alarm Time parameters. The threshold has
been reduced from 1200 feet to 850 feet for altitudes up to FL300 (30 000 feet). The alarm time change al-
lows TCAS to better adapt to the terminal airspace.
Similarly, resolution advisories (RAs), either preventive or corrective, in the terminal area were considered to
be excessive, as were RAs against projected crossing threat traffic that levels off approximately 1000 feet
away, both when own aircraft is level and when own aircraft has a high vertical rate. It was also necessary to
make the system more tolerant of assigned altitude overshoots of up to 400 ft. Changes were made to the
Vertical Threshold and Alarm Time parameters for RAs to reduce the occurrence of these advisories.
Immediate and smooth response to a Resolution Advisory (RA) is required to obtain maximum separation.
While TCAS II RA algorithms are based upon the pilot initiating the initial maneuver within 5 seconds of the
RA, and within 2.5 seconds for additional corrective RAs (increase or reversal) that may be issued. Any
delay in responding to RAs will reduce the separation provided. The pilot should respond immediately to the
RA even if the intruder is not in visual contact.

Manually operated BETA STOP
WARNING

Cockpit warning placard


PROHIBITED TO MOVE POWER LEVERS- Ref. U.S. FAA AD 94−09−09
BELOW FLIGHT IDLE WHEN AIRBORNE SB 340−76−033.

GENERAL
Manipulation of PLs below Flight Idle Stop when airborne has caused one accident and several incidents in-
cluding uncontrolled flight, power loss on one or both engines as well as severe engine damage. Due to this
situation an automatic PL Stop will be implemented in the fleet over the next two years.
Despite the above cockpit warning placard, during a recent incident both PLs were unintentionally moved be-
low FLT IDLE on final approach, whereby one engine flamed out completely. The other engine did relight au-
tomatically. Therefore SAAB has decided to provide the fleet with a manually operated PL Stop, called ”BETA
STOP” (Mod No. 2609, SB 76−034). This is an interim measure until the automatic PL Stop is incorporated.
The purpose of the BETA STOP is to prevent any PL from being unintentionally moved into the beta range
during flight.
The use of the stop requires additional procedures and a slight modification to the Normal Checklist.
DESCRIPTION
The stop consists of a simple flap marked BETA OPEN on one side and BETA STOP on the other side.
When lifted and positioned fully forward and down (BETA STOP), the stop will prevent PL movement into the
beta range. The stop will act as a backup approx. 2 mm (1/10 inch) behind the PLs when in the FLT IDLE
position. When the stop is lifted and positioned aft (BETA OPEN) the PLs are free to be moved into beta and
reverse. The stop is designed to be operated aft by use of a single finger (other fingers clenched).
NORMAL PROCEDURES AND CALLOUTS
− The stop should be in BETA OPEN position during all ground operations including take off run (Fig.1).
− The stop should be lifted and positioned fully forward and down into BETA STOP position during climb−out
after take−off. This item should be included in the climb checklist. The stop should remain in BETA STOP
during the whole flight until after touchdown (Fig. 2).

NOTE
Individual operators might require adjustments of the recommended procedures due to special operating
landing conditions. This should be discussed with the respective operators national Aviation
Authority.

− It is recommended that the ”beta stop operation” should be included in the approach briefing.
− Just before touchdown, PNF should be prepared to remove and set the stop to BETA OPEN position
(Fig. 3).
− Immediately after touchdown, PNF should remove and set the stop to BETA OPEN position (Fig. 4).
− Callouts will facilitate the operation.

NOTE
The following callouts are recommended by SAAB, however, they may not necessarily meet all the needs
for all airlines. It is important that appropriate Company standard callouts are determined and established.

Orders Beta Stop to be lifted and set into


After takeoff; ”Beta Stop” PF
BETA STOP − position.

Info to PF that the stop is removed and that


After touchdown; ”Beta Open” PNF
PLs can be retarded.

WARNING
It is essential that PF manipulates the PLs in the normal way, thus retarding PLs to the normal FLT IDLE
stop when required, and not to the new ”BETA STOP”. The old rule still applies:

DO NOT TOUCH PL LATCHES WHEN AIRBORNE (ref AOM 17.1 page 27/28).
WARNING
It is essential that the stop is removed immediately after touch down and before PLs are retarded to avoid
hang up with consequential delay in ground idle power application.

TRAINING
− The crew should be briefed about the intended purpose of the stop and how to use it.
− The stop is simple in design and simple to use, therefore no special training is required. However, before
first flight with the stop installed, pilots are recommended to exercise the stop, with PL manipulations in
and out of beta range, in a crew coordinated way including call outs. Further training should not be re-
quired.
− It is recommended that all flight crews receive a copy of this bulletin.
PERFORMANCE
− No change.
ABNORMAL AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
− No change.

Start Control and Procedures Changes

BACKGROUND
In an effort to improve the reliability of the Power Distribution Units (PDU), additional changes are being made
to the aircraft wiring to protect some of the relays used during start operations from power interruptions if the
GPU should malfunction or drop off line during a start. There are also additional steps that the flight crew can
take to help improve the aircraft reliability. These topics are discussed below.
OPERATIONAL EFFECTS ON THE AIRCRAFT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AS A RESULT OF MOD NO. 2617,
SAAB SB 24−025 (ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO THE ENGINE START CONTROL POWER SUPPLY)
This modification provides an improved electrical environment for the start relays, the battery relays and the
external power relay during start operations when the aircraft is powered from a Ground Power Unit (GPU).
The power supply changes are as follows:
− LH Start relay coil power is moved to the LH Hot Battery Bus
− RH Start relay coil is already powered by the RH Hot Battery Bus (Mod No. 2418 − SB 24−020)
During starter operation, the following components will be powered by the Emergency Battery Bus:
− LH and RH Battery disconnect relays
− External Power relay coil
− External Power Switch
These changes also prevent the battery relays from closing into the start currents as long as the Start Switch
is held or the start relay is energized (if the GPU should malfunction or drop off line). The start will no longer
continue on battery power as presently described in the AOM.
If all systems work properly there will be no changes in the cockpit procedures during a start with Mod
No. 2617 installed. However, if the GPU should drop off line while the Start Switch is being held in the Start
position or anytime that the start relay is energized, there will be a loss of electrical power to the aircraft.
Since the battery relays will no longer automatically energize with the loss of ground power, the only busses
that will be powered are the LH and RH Hot Battery Busses and the Emergency Battery Bus until the start
switch is released (during a motoring start) or the Condition Lever is moved to Fuel Off (during a normal
start).
The loss of power will effect most systems in the cockpit as well as the cabin lighting. Since the Ground Pow-
er Switch is now powered by the Emergency Bus during the start, the External Power Switch will not auto-
matically move to the OFF position. Electrical power will be restored (Main battery power) once the Condition
Lever is moved to Fuel OFF (during a normal start) or the Start Switch is released (during a motoring start)
and the External Power Switch moves to OFF. As a result of this event, the flight crew should request another
ground power unit or do a battery or cross generator start depending on the available power supply.
Particular attention should be given to the engine temperature (ITT) since the loss of the GPU may result in a
Hung Start depending on when the GPU drops off line. If ITT may not be supervised due to darkness in the
cockpit the motoring start should be aborted. Take the Condition Lever to Fuel Off and the light will come on
again.

Aircraft Operations Manual OPERATIONS BULLETINS

GROUND POWER UNIT SUPPLIED START PROCEDURES


At no time should the Ground Power Switch be intentionally selected to OFF during start procedures. The
Battery Relays are not designed to close into start current. If the flight crew experiences problems with the
GPU during start, the DISCONTINUED ENGINE START procedure should be followed (Ref. 17.2).
IGNITION SWITCH AND CONDITION LEVER SEQUENCING
The mods discussed in this bulletin protect the electrical system from poor ground power supply. This section
discusses what the flight crews can do to contribute to aircraft and component reliability.
It is possible that the ”electrical power interruptions” that occur during the engine start and effect PDU reliabil-
ity are caused by cockpit procedures. If during a ”Motoring” start the IGN switch is set to NORM and the CL is
advanced to START at about the same time with the IGN switch leading the CL movement, the start signal to
the start relay will be interrupted momentarily similar to a poor ground power unit. The flight crew will not see
the interruption in the cockpit displays. This causes the start relay to begin coming open and then go closed
again resulting in nothing more than loss of contact pressure causing burning of the contacts (major reason
for removal of PDU’s). To prevent this from happening, the flight crew should verify that the CL is in the
START position before setting the IGN switch to NORM. At no time should the CL be moved below the
START detent unless the start is being terminated or the engine is being shut down using published proce-
dures.
The Motoring Start Procedure indicates the order of events as follows (Ref. 22.2 pg 12):
− PL to GND IDLE
− CL in FUEL OFF and Check: Bus Tie green light ON
L/R Avion switches OFF
Stby Press light (ON or OFF)
IGN switches OFF
NO BAT START light (not illuminated)
− LP holds the START switch to L/R and calls Fuel On when the ITT is below 175C
 RP then advances CL to START
 When CL is at START, LP immediately sets IGN switch to NORM while holding START switch
 Hold the START switch until light up
 LP then moves right hand to CL

CAUTION
Turn IGN switch to NORM within 2 seconds after CL is moved to START. If not, retard CL to FUEL OFF
and motor engine.

OPERATIONS BULLETIN No. 52
Automatic Power Lever Stop System

Ref: − Swedish Airworthiness Directive (SAD) No: 1 − 070


− SB 76 − 032, Mod No 2558

GENERAL
Manipulation of Power Levers below Flight Idle when airborne has caused one accident and several incidents
including uncontrolled flight, power loss on both engine as well as severe engine damage. An automatic Pow-
er Lever Stop system will therefore be implemented.
PURPOSE
− To prevent any PL from being unintentionally moved into the beta range during flight.
AFFECTED INDICATIONS AND CONTROLS
− The flight status panel is provided with two additional lights, FI STOP (blue) and FI STOP OPEN (amber)
(Fig. 1).
− The PROP SYNC switch is moved to the right side of the control quadrant (Fig. 2).
− A FI STOP OVRD knob marked PULL is located between the PLs and the CLs (Fig. 2).
DESCRIPTION
The system has an automatically operated mechanical stop arm located within the control quadrant which
physically blocks power lever movement below flight idle when the aircraft is in flight (stop is closed), and is
removed to give free passage, forward and aft, when the aircraft is on ground (stop is open). The automatic
function of the stop arm is controlled by a solenoid which is controlled by signals from the following:
− L or R landing gear locked down switches.
− L or R (inboard or outboard) when spin−up (anti−skid computer).
− L or R weight−on−wheel switches.
An emergency override function, to be used on ground only, is also provided.
When solenoid is depowered the stop will be in flight position (stop is closed).
The normal function as well as the override function have their dedicated cockpit indications.

STOP LOGIC
Stop Open − aircraft on ground
(L or R LDG extended) AND ((L or R inboard or outboard wheel speed >25 kts) or (L or R weight−on−
wheels)).
Stop Closed − aircraft in flight
(L and R LDG retracted) OR ((L and R LDG extended) and ( L and R not weight−on wheels) and (L and R
inboard and outboard wheel speed <9 kts)).

INDICATIONS
The position of the stop is indicated on the top of the Flight Status Panel as follows:

FI STOP (blue) − Stop is open and landing gear down and locked. This is the normal indica-
tion when aircraft is electrically powered on ground. The light should remain
on until the landing gear is retracted after take−off. If the landing gear is not
retracted the light will stay on until all wheels have spun down to < 9 kts
which may take up to 90 seconds, during which period the stop will remain
open.

During the remainder of the flight the blue light should be out (stop closed) until after touch down when it
should illuminate again (stop automatically open).

FI STOP OPEN (amber) − Flight Idle Stop is open and landing gear not down and locked. This indi-
cates an abnormal situation. The indication is latched even after the gear is
down and locked and is reset only after the aircraft has been electrically
powered down.
This light will come on: − In case of failure of the stop to close after take off when the gear is retracted
(electrical or mechanical failure).
− In case of activation of the emergency override function, before the landing
gear is extended.

NOTE
Both the FI STOP (blue) light and the FI STOP OPEN (amber) light will illuminate after gear is down and
locked, should the override function be activated when airborne.

EMERGENCY OVERRIDE FUNCTION


The override function is activated with the FI STOP OVRD pull knob, located on the control quadrant between
the PLs and the CLs. The knob is connected to the stop arm by a Bowed cable. When the knob is pulled the
stop will be mechanically forced to its open position, irrespective of the electrical solenoid and its logic.
After the knob is pulled it is locked in up position ( a red colored area is exposed under the knob), and must
be reset by maintenance action. NO ATTEMPT SHOULD BE MADE TO RESET THE KNOB BY THE
FLIGHT CREW.
When the knob is pulled, the aircraft take−off CONFIG master warning (non−resettable) will be triggered at a
left engine start attempt (CL in START and the START switch activated). The warning can be inhibited only
by retarding the L CL to FUEL OFF position. This specific warning can only be triggered with aircraft on
ground (weight−onwheels and landing gear down and locked).

POWER SUPPLY
The system is powered from the RH Battery Bus via circuit breaker ENG−PWR LVR−FI STOP. This circuit
breaker is located in the RH under floor electrical compartment.

OPERATIONS BULLETIN No. 57
CT7−5A2 Power Fluctuations
EFFECTIVITY
Applicable to all Saab 340A aircraft.

GENERAL
Even when operating in accordance with published requirements for activation of the engine anti−ice system,
very short−duration (1−4 seconds) power fluctuations may occur. These power fluctuations are the result of
snow / ice accumulation in the birdcatcher that is sometimes ingested into the engine. Ingestion of this snow /
ice, in some cases, causes momentary (less than 2 seconds) quenching of the combustor, and / or self−re-
covering ingestion compressor stall. Reports from pilots show that power fluctuations will occur primarily at
altitudes greater than 10,000 feet while operating at temperatures between ISA and ISA+20 in icing condi-
tions, or shortly after leaving such conditions.
It should be noted that in almost 9 million hours of Saab 340 operation only one actual engine shutdown has
been experienced as a result of a power fluctuation. Investigation of that incident discovered a failed fuse in
the engine’s DECU. As a result of the investigation, requirements were incorporated for an auto−ignition test
to be accomplished once per day (every flight for operation according to FAA regulations). Since then, no fur-
ther complications have been experienced with a power fluctuation.
In all cases, the power fluctuation requires no aircrew input for recovery, and incurs no adverse af-
fects on engine integrity or performance

IDENTIFICATION
Power Fluctuation is defined as a self−recovering short−term single transient in engine parameters induced
by the ingestion of snow/ice. It is identified by a short illumination of the FSP IGN light. This light remains illu-
minated for up to 1 second duration of the transient. In most cases only small fluctuations in ITT, NG, and TQ
will be visible for less than 4 seconds. Power fluctuations may also cause a ”pop” noise, a small yaw tran-
sient, or a visible flash coming out of the engine tailpipe.

DESCRIPTION
The power fluctuation phenomenon is well understood thanks to analysis of test and in−service data. This
data was obtained from DFDR information from actual events, aircrew reports, videotape of actual events
(recorded by cameras installed in the engine inlet during revenue service), ”water slug” tests conducted by
G.E. in test cell rigs, ice tunnel testing and flight test results.
The video recordings showed small lumps of snow shedding from the aft wall of the birdcatcher and being
sucked into the engine. Figure 1 A−G shows the sequence of events leading to a power fluctuation.

NOTE
Since activation of the auto−ignition system on Saab 340B aircraft is both more sensitive, and latches for
at least 7 seconds, pilot reports of power fluctuations on Saab 340B aircraft outnumber those for Saab
340A aircraft by 10 to 1.

For analysis purposes, power fluctuations have been separated into three distinct types, depending upon the
actual internal process within the powerplant, and the resulting external symptoms. The three types are de-
fined, along with resulting cockpit and other indications, as follows (see also Figure 2):
− A ”Type I” power fluctuation is caused by a full or partial quenching of the combustor caused by ingestion
of a water slug (from melted snow / ice). This results in a momentary ITT drop − indicated on the cockpit
ITT indicator. The powerplant will self−recover via the auto−ignition system, with restoration of set power
within 4 seconds. An audible pop may be heard, and a brief flash may be observed from the tailpipe as the
combustor relights. In some cases, slight yaw toward the affected powerplant may be felt. With a ”Type I”
event, auto−ignition is probably necessary to ensure relight.
− A ”Type II” power fluctuation is a self−recovering compressor stall caused by ingestion of a water slug
(from melted snow/ice) of a lesser amount than that causing a Type I event. The compressor stall causes a
momentary rise in ITT indication, and may be accompanied by an audible pop. The stall is self−recovering,
and set power is restored within 2 seconds. The auto−ignition will not be triggered and the engine will self−
recover without auto−ignition. As with the ”Type I”, slight yaw may be experienced toward the affected pow-
erplant.
− A ”Type III” power fluctuation is a very minor engine disturbance. ITT, TQ, and NG indicator fluctuations
are very small and of short duration − probably not noticeable to aircrew. The auto−ignition will not activate.
− The auto−ignition system is triggered by low P3 (pressure below 70psi), so only a ”Type I” power fluctua-
tion is likely to trigger the auto−ignition system. Also, the auto−ignition remains on only as long as neces-
sary to restore normal engine operation − thus for a ”Type I” power fluctuation auto−ignition will only be
activated for up to one second. The auto−ignition system is illustrated in Figures 3A−C. “Type II” and “Type
III” events will not activate the auto−ignition.
PROCEDURES
No new procedures are required.
In accordance with already existing procedures, aircrews are reminded to always use Engine Anti−Ice in ac-
cordance with published recommendations − i.e., Engine Anti−Ice should be selected ON well prior to enter-
ing icing conditions, which for Engine Anti−Ice operation are defined as +5C OAT (+10 for operation accord-
ing to FAA regulations) in visible moisture or clouds with visibility of less than one mile. In addition, upon
exiting such conditions, Engine Anti−Ice shall be left ON for 5 minutes.
The Auto−Ignition System Test shall be conducted prior to engine start. The auto−ignition system is tested by
advancing PLs above the FI gate and verifying that the FSP IGN lights illuminate.

NOTE
Since study of the power fluctuation phenomena has shown that no negative effect on power−plant integri-
ty or performance will result from a power fluctuation, it is no longer necessary to perform a nnT after ex-
periencing a power fluctuation. Normal engine monitoring should continue.

MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES
No new malfunction procedures are required.

FMS − Erroneous Steering and Guidance Condition

EFFECTIVITY
The purpose of this cover bulletin is to assure that operators of Saab 340 have received the attached Univer-
sal Avionics Service Bulletin Number 3XXX.( )−34−3508. The Service Bulletin from Universal Avionics applies
to FMS installations operating with Software Control Number (SCN) 802.X/902.X, 803.X/903.X and
1000.0/1100.0 thru 1000.5/1100.5.
This applies to all Saab 340 aircraft with Mod. No. 3034 installed. Currently this modification is installed in
aircraft with serial number 217, 226, 270 and 280 only.

BACKGROUND
Universal Avionics has discovered a potential problem for approach. In the attached SB from Universal it is
stated that the FMS may produce erroneous guidance when the listed conditions are met. Below is a further
explanation of how the error occurs and the magnitude of the error.
DESCRIPTION
When the pilot selects GA mode via the Control Display Unit, the FMS cancels approach mode, deletes the
End Of Approach gap, and converts the following Initial Fix leg to a Track−to−Fix (TF) leg. This links the end
of the approach to the start of the missed approach procedure.
When conditions #1, #2 and #4 in the attached Universal SB are present, the TF leg is not properly initialized.
It should have zero length, but it will be assigned a length equal to the distance from the step−down fix to the
runway and assigned a default track angle of 180T. When the faulty TF leg becomes the TO (TO/FROM) leg,
the FMS will initiate a turn to 180T.
If the approach is oriented in a southerly direction, the leg will immediately sequence and erroneous guidance
will not occur. If the approach is oriented in a northerly direction (condition #3 in the Universal SB), the FMS
could command a significant excursion from the intended path. The amount of the error will depend on the
approach and where and when GA is initiated.
PROCEDURE
Until Saab SB 340−34−235 has been implemented, the following applies:
The operator must investigate whether any of the used airports have approaches where the #1, #2 and #3
conditions exist, and thus the described error might occur. If this is the case, alternate procedures must be
established and made available to the flight crews. Consider either prohibiting use of the affected ap-
proaches, or requiring selection of HDG mode when initiating GA on such approaches.

OPERATIONS BULLETIN No. 64


Erroneus Guidance Caused by an Improperly Cancelled Holding Pattern

EFFECTIVITY
This operations Bulletin, which origins from Universal Avionics Service Bulletin 2XXX.( )−34−3562, applies to
Universal Avionics FMS installations operating with SCN 802.7/902.7, 802.8/902.8, SCN 803.2/903.2, and
SCN 1000.3/1100.3 through 1000.6/1100.6.
DESCRIPTION
Universal Avionics has found an anomaly where a cancelled holding pattern can cause erroneous navigation
guidance if any subsequent procedure is containing any of the following leg types:
− VD (Heading to DME Distance)
− VI (Heading to Next Leg Intercept)
− VR (Heading to Radial Termination)
− CD (Course to DME Distance)
− CI (Course to Next Leg Intercept)
− CR (Course to Radial Termination)
When a HOLD is initiated (the NAV page shows “HOLD ARMED”) and then cancelled by ATC before the
HOLD activates (before the “HOLD ARMED” indication on the NAV page reverts to “HOLDING”). This can
cause failure to auto−sequence beyond that leg, if any of the legs listed above subsequently become the TO
leg.

OPERATING PROCEDURES
After cancelling of an initiated HOLD during flight:
− After each waypoint, verify that correct track or heading is established.
AND
− Use the direct to (DTO) function to sequence next active waypoint.
OR
− Make a manual leg change from the NAV page 1 or 2. To change the leg, press the line select key adjacent
to the “FR” or “TO” field, as desired.
OR
− From NAV page, manually select heading (HDG) function and proceed in FMS HDG mode to final appro-
ach.
After cancelling of an initiated HOLD when on ground:
− Cycle the FMS ON/OFF before next departure.

Aircraft Operations Manual NORMAL PROCEDURES


Expanded Normal Checklist

EXPANDED NORMAL CHECKLIST


The purpose of the expanded checklist is to explain the action to be taken in connection with each item of the
Normal Checklist.
Normal procedures are accomplished by recall.
Checklists are read at specified points to verify that the aircraft is in a correct configuration and that systems
are in the status required for any particular phase of flight.
The pilot who is performing the Preparatory Check is not specified.
Before Engine Start Check and onwards, the checklist should be read by RP on the ground and PNF when
airborne. Symbols specify the pilot who is to perform the checkitem and verbally reply to challenge, after the
item is checked. If no symbol, the item is performed by the pilot reading the checklist, however, verbal chal-
lenge and reply may be omitted.
When a specific set of check items is complete, the pilot accomplishing the challenge will call ”..... checklist
complete” with the name of the appropriate checklist inserted.
Checklist symbols

(1) − Aircraft first flight of the day only

(2) − After crew change.


− After maintenance action.
− When cockpit left unattended.

PF − Pilot Flying

PNF − Pilot Not Flying

LP − Pilot occupying left hand seat

RP − Pilot occupying right hand seat

BP − Both pilots

Words inside quotation marks (”........”) should be regarded as callouts and orders.
Items without explaining text are considered self−explanatory.
In the expanded checklist, between checkitems, are some procedures (framed) to be used to facilitate the
operation. (See also section 25, FLIGHT PROCEDURES)
The checklists follow a standardized scan of the cockpit panels except when required by logic of actions prior-
ity. This provides the flight crew with established patterns for performing the normal procedures and check-
lists.

Engine Start Procedures

− See also AOM 17, POWER PLANT, NORMAL PROCEDURES.

− Before starting any engine or releasing propeller brake, RP and LP respectively shall check
propeller area clear, then call out ”Clear right”, ”Clear left”. Perform this check in addition to any clear-
ance obtained from ground staff.

− All engine starts are recommended to be performed as motoring starts.

− Battery start − wait at least 70 s between the first and second engine start to allow for cooling of the first
Starter/generator and AHRS initialization (elapsed time to start after first generator on line).

− GPU start − wait at least one minute between the first and second engine start to allow for cooling of the
EXT PWR relay if on−side starting (both engines started on EXT PWR) is performed or the first Starter/gen-
erator if cross−over start is performed. (elapsed time to start after first generator on−line) AHRS initialization
prior to first engine start.

NOTE
See 17/2 in the AOM for valid engine starting limits concerning each different start method − GPU start,
battery start and crossover start.

NOTE
ENG TRQ and ENG TEMP instruments may indicate full scale deflection for approximately 3 sec after
initiation of engine start sequence.
This will happen prior to ignition.

− PL in GND IDLE.

− CL in FUEL OFF and check:


 BUS TIE green light ON.
 L/R AVION switches OFF.
 STBY PRESS light (can be ON or OFF).
 IGN switches OFF.
 NO BAT START light.

− LP holds START switch (L/R) and calls ”Fuel on” when Ng has ceased to accelerate and ITT below
175 C.
 RP then advances CL to START.
 When CL is at START, LP immediately sets IGN switch to NORM while holding START switch.
 Hold the START switch until light up.
 LP then moves right hand to CL.

− After engine has stabilized at GND IDLE, check and perform:

 Engine/Fuel panels. All lights should be out for engine started.


 ”BUS TIE” green light on.
 GEN switch RESET/ON.
If battery start, set L/R AVION switches to ON for AHRS initialization.

Engine shut down procedure


CAUTION
Special attention must be given to the hydraulic pressure supply to the Nose Wheel Steering (NWS)
should one engine be shut down during intaxiing. If ”No Bustie”, set HYDR PUMP switch to OVRD
immediately, otherwise NWS will be lost. Then take proper action to restore normal electrical power.
− The engine should be shut down with the propeller feathered, therefore the CL should be first retarded
to START. A smooth feathering can be accomplished by noticing the PROP OIL pressure which initially
rises then drops when CL is about half between MIN and START. At pressure rise hold the CL for a few
seconds then move it slowly into START.
NOTE
The engine shut down procedure above should be used if the aircraft is parked on a slippery ramp to
avoid a momentary burst of forward power which may cause the aircraft to move forward during shut
down.
LP orders ”Prepare ..... (left/right). RP then moves respectively CL to START, sets RECIRC FAN switch
to OFF, BLD VALVE switch to CLOSED and GEN switch to OFF and calls ”bus tie” or ”no bus tie” if light
is not coming on. When feasible ”shut down .....(left/right)” by retarding CL to FUEL OFF.
Parking procedure
− When aircraft is stopped, set/check parking brake, turn SEAT BELT sign OFF and select EMER LIGHT
switch to OFF.
(SEAT BELT sign is not applicable to aircraft in cargo configuration)
− When aircraft parked with left engine shut down and right engine either shut down, or running with Pro-
peller Brake engaged, perform the check items as applicable down to ”Batteries”, then when feasable,
LP calls for PARKING CHECK.

Introduction

NOTE
When a procedure calls for the POWER to be
REDUCED the continued operation should be
regarded as One Engine Inoperative (OEI)
Operation which includes landing at the nearest
suitable airport using OEI configuration and land-
ing speeds. Set power to 20−30% on the bad en-
gine to reduce propeller drag; maintain this power
until landing flare where both power levers should
be retarded as for a normal landing.
Should circumstances require additional power,
do not hesitate to use both engines as required.
Set CL to MAX before landing, since landing dis-
tances are based on this. In addition, if the CL is
in a position other than MAX with a running gas
generator, aircraft characteristics during landing
will differ from what is normally experienced dur-
ing training.
For the go−around case, plan as for a OEI−
go−around. Should a go−around become neces-
sary, do not hesitate to use both engines; howev-
er, make configuration changes and use speeds
as for OEI−operation.

NOTE
After an engine Malfunction has been rectified,
e.g. an engine has been shut down, restarted and
running normally, NORMAL PROCEDURES ap-
ply.
The above also applies, if an engine which in ac-
cordance with Malfunction Procedures has been
operated on REDUCED POWER (20−30 %), and
power in accordance with procedures, has then
been restored.
When restoring power on one engine make sure
that the AUTOCOARSEN switch is in OFF posi-
tion, until both PLs are at approximately the same
power lever angle (PLA) − then NORMAL PRO-
CEDURES apply. (see also 17/2 page 28).

− One Bleed system is sufficient for ventilation and pressurization.
− BLD CLOSED light will illuminate when BLD switch is set to CLOSED position.
− The word “consider” means that it is left to the crew to decide whether to shut down one engine or to keep
both engines running. A Bleed Air Leak can in worst case result in detrimental effect on structure. A leak
will not have an immediate structural impact but might require maintenance action afterwards.

ABNORMAL TEMP IN COCKPIT OR CABIN


Left bleed system provides the cabin with tempered air and the right bleed system supports cockpit and cabin
with tempered air. In a case where an abnormal temp rise is noticed in cockpit, begin troubleshooting with R HP/
BLD VALVE.
Due to the vast volume of air in cabin, response to any change of input to the L bleed system may take as
much as 15 minutes.
When affected side is identified, keep that side HP/BLD switches closed for the duration of flight.

− There is no Master Warning or Master Caution for low generator voltage.
− The generator will not disconnect automatically and the BUS TIE will not function automatically.
− An indication of generator low voltage might be inconsistent indications of voltage sensitive systems like
APA, EFIS.
 Inconsistent APA indication is noticed as APA aural alert will come and go from time to time depending
on what other electrical powered consuming systems are operated, such as landing gear and com trans-
mission etc.
 Inconsistent EFIS indication is noticed as fluctuations and blinkings of the pictures. As different systems
have different sensitivity to voltage, functions displayed on EFIS may fail before EFIS itself.

− A large number of hand pump strokes are required for flap and landing gear operation.
− Stroke resistance characteristics vary from very light to rather heavy.
− Position of handpump selector is important. Small adjustments to these positions might be necessary to
achieve enough pressure.
− A large number of hand pump strokes and continuous pumping is required to achieve and maintain enough
brake pressure.
− Normal action with a faulty hydraulic pump is to tow the aircraft on ground. It is a challenging task to taxi on
ground with just the handpump as pressure source.
− Direct entry into this procedure is when Hydraulic Quantity is low. The majority of Hydraulic fault related
procedures refers to this procedure for Landing Gear, Flaps and Brake operation.
− Even though emergency extension does not require the Landing Gear handle to be selected down it shall
be selected down for the obvious reason of agreeing with the Landing Gear position. It is also required for
anti−skid function.
− Maximum speed for gear normal or emergency extension is 200 KIAS.

CAUTION
Abnormal heating cycles, cold spots or reactivation of intake anti−
icing in or after being exposed to icing conditions may cause pieces
of accumulated ice tearing loose and damaging the engine.
CAUTION
With an unserviceable engine intake anti−icing system, ice may
have accumulated in the birdcatcher. Normally the air stream in the
birdcatcher will prevent ice from being sucked into the engine com-
pressor. However, reverse power operation below 50 kt will cause a
reverse airflow through the birdcatcher.
Avoid use of reverse power below 50 kt if operationally feasible.

TIMER light on
− If there is any uncertainty about the status of the boots, consider the boots to be inflated.
− Inflated boots will increase the stallspeed.
− Without HP BLD ON the air supply is not always sufficient for boots de−icing. Once the TIMER LIGHT has
been activated, it will remain on until a complete cycle has been completed.
− However, at low power settings, also with HP BLD in AUTO, the HP bleed valve may not be triggered. This
is due to tolerances in the engine bleed extraction system. At the same time LP−bleed pressure may not
be sufficient for de−icer boot operation, indicated by the TIMER caution coming on.
Occasionally the TIMER caution comes on while a proper de−ice cycle is indicated by the BOOT INDICA-
TION LIGHTS coming on at the same time. This indication shall not be considered as a de−icing cycle.
Therefore, in all cases where the TIMER caution comes on the Abnormal checklist must be consulted.
− A ruptured or torn stabilizer de−icing boot can be indicated by a TIMER caution together with a STAB
BOOT IND light not illuminating.
If this is the case the landing shall be performed with flaps 0.

HUNG START
− A start is defined as a ”hung start” if during the start the Ng ceases to accelerate for 3 seconds prior to
achieving stabilized IDLE. It is essential that a ”hung start” be discontinued immediately.
− During a normal start the Ng may accelerate with a slow but almost constant rate of speed to Idle RPM. If
for some reason the compressor rotor starts to orbit at one of its critical speeds during the start, it may
start to rub the case, then ceases to accelerate and often there will be a rapid rise in ITT. If the start is al-
lowed to continue, the orbiting may increase and significant engine damage can result.

Starter does not disengage


− There are some different failures which can cause the starter to not disengage. One fault is failure of the
starter speed pickup signal. An indication of this fault is a hung start at approximately 55% NG and the
generator offline, or if IGN light does not go out and it is not possible to reset the generator after start.
In this case the starter can be disengaged an the generator brought online by selecting the ignition switch
to OFF and the back to NORMAL (gives a signal to the starter to disengage).

On ground after fuel OFF only

− Another indication of that the starter has not disengaged is, if after engine start, it is not possible to engage
the GEN and after engine shut down the engine is still turning (is still in uncommanded motoring). This fault
is caused by a welded start relay or that the control signal from the GCU to the start relay is constantly ON.
For these failures it is not possible to disengage the starter, power supply to the starter must then be shut
off.

ENGINE SHUT DOWN

− Following an engine shut down an unfeathered propeller will rotate at almost normal propeller RPM. How-
ever, the propeller RPM indication will read zero when the engine has spooled down.
− A feathered propeller may rotate slowly. The rotation speeds vary with KIAS and sideslip.
− It is not recommended to activate the electric feather pump with PROPELLER PUMP switch for more than
30 seconds.

ENGINE RESTART IN FLIGHT


During engine restart in flight PL should be placed in FLT IDLE position.

WARNING
Do not move PL below FLT IDLE when airborne.
During engine start on ground PL is placed into GND IDLE position. Due to the fact that this is the ”normal
start position”, there is a possibility, by habit, to move PL to this wrong position also during an engine re-
start in flight.
If PL is moved below FLT IDLE there will be no control of the propeller speed with consequential extremely
high drag and uncontrolled flight.

− ENG OIL PRESS light will come on as a consequence of the pressure being less than 25 psi with the pro-
peller feathered.
− When unfeathering the propeller pause in UNF position and allow PRPM to increase and stabilize, then
move the CONDITION LEVER into MIN−MAX range.

COMPRESSOR STALL
− A compressor stall is an aerodynamic interruption of airflow through the compressor. Factors that can in-
crease the stall sensitivity and decrease stall margin are FOD, dirty compressor, unusual flight conditions,
hot gas ingestion or a faulty control system.
− Indications are one or more audible bangs or pops accompanied by a possible increase in ITT and fluctuat-
ing Ng.
− Other operating parameters of the affected engine may decrease.
− If the autocoarsen is ON a compressor stall may trigger the autocoarsen system, especially during decel-
eration from takeoff power to climb power.
− Increasing engine bleed such as ECS and engine anti−ice increases stall margin.
− A compressor stall generally occurs when power is either being increased or decreased.

UNCOMMANDED ENGINE OPERATION

NOTE
Small TRQ indicator fluctuations (max 3%) in the form of oscillations or minor movements repeatedly are
acceptable, if fluctuations disappear after a Power Lever (Ng) or Condition Lever (Np) adjustment. Larger
or uncontrollable fluctuations are to be considered as erratic engine operation, to be handled as below.

Uncommanded engine operation may be caused by sensor failure, electrical control failure or mechanical fail-
ure.
The failure may create actual power variations (increase and/or decrease in TRQ, ITT, Ng, PRPM and Fuel
Flow).
The failure may also be indicated on the cockpit instruments as erratic indications only, or some instruments
reading zero (TRQ, ITT, Ng, PRPM and Fuel Flow) without any actual power variation(s). A single fuel flow
gauge indicating zero does not require the use of the UNCOMMANDED ENGINE OPERATION procedure.
Uncommanded engine operation may affect aircraft controllability both in the air and on the ground e.g. during
take off or during landing, depending on the cause of the condition.
In all cases of an UNCOMMANDED ENGINE OPERATION the Torque Motor has to be locked out immedi-
ately and the Autocoarsen System set to OFF.
Minimum VREF of 111 KIAS is required because of higher minimum control speed (VMCA) due to inoperative
autocoarsen system.
If actual power variations continue after the Torque Motor has been locked out, consider to shut down the af-
fected engine.

PROP RPM OVER LIMIT


− Most probable cause is malfunction of a Pitch Control Unit (PCU) constant propeller speed governor.
− Indications;
 with CL’s matched an uncommanded increase in PRPM on one propeller;
 Torque will decrease slightly on affected engine;
 Other parameters are normal  prop oil pressure normal;
 no unusual vibrations or noise than from unsynchronized pro-
pellers;
 no yaw.

− DO NOT MOVE THE PL, IN ANY DIRECTION, UNTIL THE ”PROP RPM OVER LIMIT” PROCEDURE
HAS BEEN APPLIED, AS THIS MIGHT DECREASE THE PROPELLER PITCH ANGLE AND THEREBY
AGGRAVATE THE SITUATION.

ITT DT SHIFT
The reason for monitoring differences in ITT is to detect a sudden change in engine performance.
The T method is based on comparing ITT between the two engines during each flight and comparing with
a baseline T value. The first T (baseline value) is established after engine replacement, repair, etc. The
baseline value is used to compare the T between the engines during each flight.
The T is defined as the difference between the T baseline and the latest read T value. When the T
exceeds certain threshold values, actions according to the procedure shall be performed.

PROP RPM UNDERSPEED


− Underspeed condition exists if propeller is not able to achieve 1384 PRPM with CL in MAX position, or with
CL’s matched in cruise range an uncommanded decrease occurs on one propeller.
− Verify an underspeed by advancing CL’s to MAX and check PRPM (approx. 1384).
− It is normal that prop speed drops approx. 50 PRPM during landing flare, due to aerodynamic load and de-
creased KIAS i.e. in a normal case from 1384 to approx. 1350, however, in an underspeed condition there
is a possibility that the prop speed will drop to below the bottoming governor speed (1040).
− During landing, if PRPM decreases below 1040 the propeller bottoming governor will activate. After touch
down the aircraft controllability can be affected, depending upon the cause of the propeller underspeed
condition. The T/M lockout position will preclude this possibility.
− Momentarily selecting T/M position disables the propeller bottoming governor.
− The reason to shut down the engine if propeller speed decreases to below 1200 PRPM, is lack of familiar-
ization with aircraft handling characteristic with one propeller operating below normal governor speed.
− See also 17.2, POWER PLANT, Abnormal Procedures, OPERATION IN TORQUE MOTOR LOCKOUT

PROPELLER OIL TEMPERAURE HIGH


− High propeller oil temperature can be the result of prolonged use of Ground Idle at high ambient tempera-
tures on ground. If high propeller oil temperatures are obtained during such conditions, an increase of
torque to Flight Idle will increase the ventilation through the oil cooler and thereby increase the cooling of
the propeller oil. Monitor propeller oil temperature and verify that the temperature decreases. If the temper-
ature does not decrease and has been in the yellow temperature band for 15 minutes, shut down the en-
gine.

− Push Condition Lever to MAX, then lift up and push hard into
T/M, then pull back to approx. half between MAX−MIN, then
set desired PRPM.
− When the torque motor has been locked out it can not be reset
without shutting down the engine. Reduced and asymmetric
reverse thrust will be obtained during rollout. Consider to lock
out the other torque motor before landing.

WINDOW CRACKS

Cockpit windshields
The cockpit windshields are multi−layered. If there is a crack, it is more likely to occur to the outer layer. This
layer does NOT affect the structural integrity of the windshields.
Cracking is sometimes preceded by a noticeable “foggy” appearance; it is sometimes accompanied by a loud
noise.
If the windshield ice protection is ON, the affected windshields ice protection caution light may come on,
together with CWP ICE PROT light.
Placing a solid object − such as a pencil − next to the affected pane and looking at its reflection may help con-
firm that cracking is limited to the exterior glass layer.

NOTE
If vision is impaired, consider diversion if the destination airport:
− has low Meteorological Visibility or marginal Weather.
− is Busy.
− is Uncontrolled.

CAUTION
If it is difficult to confirm where the crack is, assume it is in an inner layer, in which case cabin diff pressure
should be reduced.

Cabin windows
The cabin windows are of a single−layer type, and a crack should be considered structural damage.

NOTE
The non−structural, thin plastic pane mounted on the cabin side panel does not affect structural integrity,
and cracks here are only of cosmetic consideration.

Set CL to MAX before landing, since landing dis-
tances are based on this. In addition, if the CL is
in a position other than MAX with a running gas
generator, aircraft characteristics during landing
will differ from what is normally experienced dur-
ing training.
For the go−around case, plan as for a OEI−
go−around. Should a go−around become neces-
sary, do not hesitate to use both engines; howev-
er, make configuration changes and use speeds
as for OEI−operation.

NOTE
After an engine Malfunction has been rectified,
e.g. an engine has been shut down, restarted
and running normally, NORMAL PROCEDURES
apply.
The above also applies, if an engine which in
accordance with Malfunction Procedures has
been operated on REDUCED POWER
(20−30 %), and power in accordance with proce-
dures, has then been restored.
When restoring power on one engine make sure
that the AUTOCOARSEN switch is in OFF posi-
tion, until both PLs are at approximately the
same power lever angle (PLA) − then NORMAL
PROCEDURES apply. (see also 17/2 page 32).

− To clear mask and goggles of smoke, turn emergency selector to ON and pull out the vent valve knob
(Section 6/2.1).
− In poor visibility, use flashlights.
− When deemed possible, set the oxygen selector to NORMAL. Leaving the selector in 100% will result in a
much faster depletion of oxygen. Oxygen for smoke protection (100% position) is according to the regula-
tions required to be available for minimum15 min.
− Set both RECIRC switches to OFF; this makes it easier to establish which air conditioning pack is creating

AVIONIC or ELECTRICAL SMOKE or FIRE


INDICATION: AVIONIC SMOKE CWP light and/or actual avionic or electrical smoke or fire.

− Switch off both RECIRC switches; this makes it easier to establish the smoke creating source.
− If it can be determined that a certain Avionic or electrical unit is creating smoke, turn off this unit.
− If the affected circuit can not be located the procedure calls for isolation.
− When circuits are turned OFF and ON, in order to isolate and locate an affected circuit, pausing in be-
tween is necessary. It takes some time for smoke to disappear or reappear.
− Before switching OFF L and R AVIONIC: disconnect the Autopilot and start flying on the standby instru-
ment. When L and R AVIONIC are switched OFF all EFIS presentation will be lost and the screens turn
black along with most of the left side’s Flight Instruments. HDG information is only available from the
standby compass (the AHRS systems are backup supplied from the HOT BAT busses for 11 minutes).
NAV information is only available from STBY VOR/ILS indicator.
− Possible cabin smoke source can be switched OFF at the cabin lighting panel by the C/A.
− If AVIONIC switch/switches are OFF for more than 11 minutes AHRS will drop off line. If reinitialization is
required, establish Aircraft in stabilized level flight during reinitialization (approximately 70 sec.).
− Even when a smoke creating source has been isolated it may take a while until smoke disappears/smoke
warning goes out.

CARGO COMPARTMENT SMOKE

PASSENGER CONFIGURATION
− Switch OFF L BLD VALVE and L RECIRC FAN to reduce diff pressure between cabin and cargo compart-
ments. This reduces the risk of air leaking into the cargo compartment reducing the halon concentration.
− Check the CARGO XVALVE handle to be pushed in so the total air supply to the cabin will not stop after
performing item 3 and 4.
− Do not open the cargo door until all passengers have disembarked and the fire fighting services are pres-
ent.
− The CARGO EXTG light will come ON when the pressure in the inner bottle has decreased to below a cer-
tain limit. This may take up to 15 min.
− The cargo compartment is classified as a Class C cargo compartment and has been demonstrated to pro-
vide 60 minutes fire protection duration.
− After conducting a cargo compartment fire suppression procedures, regardless of the duration capability of
the cargo fire extinguishing system, land at the nearest suitable airport.

CARGO CONFIGURATION
− When L BLD VALVE has been CLOSED, CARGO X VALVE handle pulled and both RECIRC Fans
switched OFF, all air supply to the enlarged cargo compartment has been switched OFF.
− In the all cargo (accessible) configuration, with fire extinguishing equipment available, a crew member may
enter and extinguish a fire.
− There is no requirement for Halon fire fighting capability in an all cargo configuration. However, to make
optimum use of available means both FIRE EXTG switches shall be activated.
− Close the cockpit door to exclude heavy concentration of smoke and to minimize ventilation into the en-
larged cargo compartment.
− Use EMERGENCY position on the mask selector as required to clear mask from smoke.
− In poor visibility use flashlights.
− When deemed possible, place the oxygen selector in NORMAL position. Leaving the selector in 100%
position will result in a much faster depletion of oxygen. Oxygen for smoke protection (100% position) is
according to the regulations required to be available for 15 minutes as a minimum.
− Non−essential equipment are equipment such as:

 HF  MFD
 ACARS  AREA NAV
 TCAS  DME 1 or 2
 TRANSPONDER 1 or 2  ADF 1 or 2

− Switch only OFF equipment deemed not required. It is not necessary to switch OFF any of AVIONIC
switches.
− By keeping the AVIONIC FAN ON for a short while the Halon distribution within the enlarged cargo
compartment is optimized (sucked forward). The CB’s must then be pulled to remove the last source of
ventilation.

− During engine restart in flight PL should be placed in FLT IDLE position.

WARNING
Do not move PL below FLT IDLE when airborne.
During engine start on ground PL is placed into GND IDLE position. Due to the fact that this is the ”normal
start position”, there is a possibility, by habit, to move PL to this wrong position also during an engine re-
start in flight.
If PL is moved below FLT IDLE there will be no control of the propeller speed with consequential extremely
high drag and uncontrolled flight.

− With both generators OFF line all EFIS presentation will be lost and the screens turn black. Fly on standby

ENGINE FAILURE

− Following an engine failure an unfeathered propeller will rotate at almost normal prop RPM. However, the
prop RPM indications will read zero when the engine has spooled down.
− A feathered propeller may rotate slowly. The RPM varies with airspeed and sideslip.
− It is not recommended to activate the electric feather pump with PROPELLER PUMP switch for more than
30 seconds.
− Set TCAS to TA ONLY since performance on one engine is not enough to follow a climbing RA maneuver.

LOSS OF BOTH GENERATORS

With both engines running and both generators OFF−line, normally:


− All EFIS presentation will be lost and the screens turn black.
− Most of the cockpit lighting goes out.
− L and R MAIN BUS caution lights come ON.
− Fly on standby instruments and use NAV 1 / COM 1.
− Use FLOOD LIGHT to improve visibility during darkness.

With both Main Bus Caution Lights OFF, when both generators are off−line:
− If experiencing loss of both generators (both engines running) − and systems that normally are automati-
cally powered down, stays powered − it is essential to immediately start electrical load reduction. Without
the immediate load reduction the endurance of the main batteries is less than 15 minutes.

Lightning Strike
− If the cause is a lightning strike, resetting the generators will most likely be successful.
− A lightning strike might in some cases inhibit the DC generator function for up to 15 seconds. Therefore, if
it is suspected that the DC generator caution was triggered by a lightning strike, wait at least 15 seconds
before the second reset attempt of the generator is performed (if the first was unsuccessful).

Expanded Emergency Checklist

EMERGENCY EVACUATION

− It is recommended that evacuation checklist and procedures are drilled and known by heart.
− For obvious reasons, pilots should also know the other crew members duties.
− Normally, but not necessarily, the PiC will initiate an evacuation.
− Stop the aircraft if not already stopped by itself, and set parking brakes.
− When aircraft is parked PiC calls ”Shut down engines, evacuation checklist”, then both pilots should per-
form their check items, independent of each other. It is essential to have the engines shut down prior the
evacuation starts, therefore that vital item should be included in the call.
− In windy conditions and if fire outside the fuselage consider aligning the aircraft into the wind to keep
flames away from both the fuselage and fuel vents.
− Use COM 1 since antenna is located on top of the fuselage and is operative on battery power.

LEFT PILOT

 Set parking brake to avoid aircraft movement during evacuation.


 Order cabin evacuation (see 24/3).
 Notify tower that assistance is required. Notify ground crew, if applicable.
 Set both BAT switches to OFF when leaving cockpit.

RIGHT PILOT

 At the order from PiC move the CL’s to FUEL OFF.


 Set all EMERGENCY panel switches to ON.
 Pull both Fire Handles.
 Set both FIRE EXTG switches to ON.
− After the checklist is completed, the evacuation procedures call for both pilots to assist in the evacuation
(see AOM 24/3).

NOTE
When the aircraft has come to a complete stop and the parking brake is set, PIC shall use all relevant sources
− such as visual observations, external communication and F/A − in judging the situation quickly: Is emergency
evacuation required or not? If in doubt, always perform an emergency evacuation although high risk of injury. If
no emergency evacuation is required, the PIC shall order ”Keep Your Seats” to cancel it. If no emergency
evacuation is necessary, but there is a considerable risk to passengers and crew if the situation detoriates, a
rapid disembarkment is performed by use of the stair. This is to avoid unnecessary injuries to passengers and
crew in a non−life threatening situation.
F/A shall give flight crew a short moment to evaluate the situation, if not obvious that emergency evacuation
is necessary. Otherwise wait for the evacuation order from the flight crew.

NOTE
24/3 is NOT APPLICABLE FOR CARGO CONFIGURATION.

EMERGENCY LANDING

− If possible land at an airport with repair facilities.


− Burning off fuel before landing reduces the spillage should a leakage occur during landing.
− Review EMERGENCY Evacuation procedure.
− Secure or stow loose equipment and prepare emergency and survival equipment (cockpit and cabin).
− An extended Landing Gear will absorb part of the initial impact load and thereby reducing the risk of severe
structural damage and fire.
− Use COM 1 since the Antenna is located on top of the fuselage and is operative on battery power.
− Switch off the hydraulic pump to minimize the spillage of hydraulic fluid should the lines be ruptured.
− Brake system will work with only one main wheel extended. Nosewheel Steering will work as long as the
Nosewheel is extended.
− With consideration to CG, in case of any gear problem (main gear or nose gear), move (reseat) passen-
gers away from the propeller plane.
− In case of a landing gear problem;
− A landing with the gear not locked in the down position shall be treated as an emergency landing.
− If the landing was successful with the aircraft standing on all three gears but without a “three green” indica-
tion, stop the aircraft. Shut down the engines. Keep the batteries ON and the hydraulic system pressurized
until the landing gears are secured.

WARNING
ALL WORK TO SECURE THE LANDING GEAR MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH GREAT CAUTION
AND THE POSSIBLE COLLAPSE OF ONE OR MORE OF THE GEARS MUST BE CONSIDERED.

− WITHOUT CARGO CONFIGURATION. LANDING TECHNIQUE:


THIS PAGE IS APPLICABLE TO A/C:

− If possible the gross weight should be reduced.


− If a pronounced sea is running, the landing should be made paral-
lel to the line of the wave crests with the touch down point on the
back of a wave.
− Landing should be made with maximum available flaps. At touch
down the aircraft should be in a nose−up attitude with minimum
speed and a rate of descent of not more than 300 ft per minute.
− Landing should be made with wings level and no yaw.

FLIGHT IN VOLCANIC ASH

Flight in areas of known volcanic activity must be avoided. This is particularly important during night or in IMC
when volcanic ash is not visible. If volcanic activity is reported, check all NOTAMs and ATC directives for cur-
rent status of volcanic activity. Plan the flight on the upwind side of the volcanic cloud.

NOTE
Airborne weather radar cannot detect volcanic ash.

Volcanic ash may be difficult to detect at night or in IMC. However, the following phenomena have been
reported by flight crews:
− An acrid smell, similar to electrical smoke.
− Multiple engine malfunctions such as rising ITT, stall and flame−out.
− St Elmo’s fire and static discharges around the windows.
− Decrease or loss of indicated airspeed.
If volcanic ash is encountered, reduce power (to Flight Idle if practical). Select continuous ignition and leave
the area immediately.
If ITT rises abnormally at Flight Idle and/or engine operation becomes unstable, shut down the engine.
Volcanic ash may cause rapid erosion and damage to internal engine components, causing surge, loss of
power and high ITT. Retarding power to Flight Idle lowers the ITT and will reduce debris build−up on com-
pressor and turbine blades, and improves stall margin. Further improvement in engine stall margin is obtained
by switching on engine anti−ice and use of HP bleed. Avoid rapid power lever movements to prevent a pos-
sible compressor stall.
It may be necessary to shut down and restart the engine to prevent exceeding ITT limits. Restart should be
attempted immediately, more than one attempt may be required to obtain a successful start. Compressor
bleed should be maximized during start and during the remainder of the flight. Some engine performance loss
may remain after restarting. After restart use slow throttle movement to avoid compressor stall. A successful
restart may not be possible until clear of the volcanic ash.
Following a successful restart slowly accelerate each engine in turn and monitor engine operation.
Volcanic ash is very abrasive and can cause serious damage to engines and leading edges of wing and tail.
Windows become opaque, obstructing vision. Landing light effectiveness may be reduced.
After flying in volcanic ash the aircraft and the engine must be inspected by maintenance.

UNUSUAL VIBRATIONS

Vibrations can be divided into Airframe or Engine caused. Airframe caused is the relatively more high
frequent vibration compared with engine caused.

AIRFRAME VIBRATIONS
Airframe vibrations may be caused by among others:
− worn Flight Control surface bearings.
− reduced Flight Control cable tensions.
− external damage to Flight Control surfaces.
− ruptured de−ice boot causing partial airflow separation over an aerodynamic surface.
ENGINE VIBRATIONS
Unusual and significant engine vibrations may be caused by loose engine mounts, a damaged compressor or
turbine, or a damaged propeller gear box or propeller.
Propeller vibrations are common, particularly in icing conditions. This may be caused by uneven ice accretion
and ice shedding, and is often accompanied by the sound of ice particles hitting the airframe. The vibrations
can be from low to high and are about similar from both propellers in this case.

OPERATIONAL
When experiencing aircraft vibrations always revert back to the vibration free condition. If the vibration
develops in a steady state condition, reduce speed (consistent with safe operations). In all conditions it is
essential to reduce the excitation energy level by reducing the speed. See emergency procedure UNUSUAL
VIBRATIONS.
Under no circumstances re−enter the vibration condition, speed, trim or flaps setting and definitely not for
trouble shooting purposes. The flight shall continue at reduced speed if applicable and, if the vibration oc-
curred during flap extension, the landing shall be performed with reduced or zero Flaps setting. For landing
with reduced or zero flaps, follow abnormal procedure FLAP FAULT for speed increment and Landing
distance factor.
Aircraft should not be operated with unusual vibrations in the Flight Control System. Degradations/Faults
must be rectified before next flight.

Portable Electronic Devices Fire caused by
Lithium Batteries
− Once a cell in a lithium battery pack goes into
thermal runaway, it will produce enough heat to
cause the adjacent cells to go into thermal run-
away. The resulting fire can flare repeatedly as
each cell ruptures and releases its contents.
− Use Halon Fire Extinguisher to extinguish the fire
and prevent it to spread.
− After the fire is extinguished, use any non−flam-
mable liquid to cool the device. This prevents
additional battery cells from reaching thermal
runaway.

ied passenger to fight the fire and to provide
more fire fighting equipment if required:
− wet towels
− fire axe
− Smoke hood, if applicable
− flash light.
6. Calm passengers. To prevent a possible panic,
consider making a PA announcement advising
the passengers of the situation and assuring
them that appropriate action is being taken.
Move passengers away from the fire area.
7. It is important to report frequently to cockpit so
as to enable the flight crew to assess the situa-
tion and make the proper decisions regarding
diversion, altitude changes, etc. and also to se-
lect the appropriate checklist procedure. If se-
vere smoke and fumes enter cabin, consider

Air Leak and Decompression

1. GENERAL

A failure of the pressurization system or an air leak


might cause a decompression.
If a decompression occurs above 14.000 ft the pi-
lots will initiate an emergency descent down to
10−14.000 ft with consideration to minimum safe
altitude.

2. F/A PROCEDURE

If an air leak is noticed in the cabin:


− notify cockpit
− move passengers from the area.
If a slow decompression occurs:
− get portable oxygen and mask
− assist passengers.
If a rapid decompression occurs followed by an
emergency descent:
− do not attempt to walk around or otherwise exert
yourself
− do not attempt to get portable oxygen
− sit down and wait until after the aircraft has de-
scended and is leveling off then;
− get portable oxygen and when feeling fit assist
passengers and provide oxygen.

FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS

2. AUTOMATIC RELIGHT

Flight characteristics
A flameout with automatic relight will cause a yaw-
ing movement and a rolling movement first in one
direction, then in the other. The size of these tran-
sients depend on the time of the event as discussed
earlier and on the power setting and speed.
Control of the aircraft in this situation is no different
from other power loss situation. However, when the
automatic relight occur, the aircraft rapidly returns
to a symmetric power condition.
Should a flameout and automatic relight occur with
the Autocoarsen switch in ON position, the propeller
will move towards coarse pitch before relight. When
relight occurs, an overswing in torque might happen
and should, if possible, be noted by the flight crew.

3. STALL

Stall onset in this aircraft is recognized by a light


buffeting just prior to actual stall, followed by a nose
down movement. The stall might be followed by a
roll (left or right) depending on control inputs and
power applied. The roll cannot be controlled until
angle of attack is decreased below the stall point.
Due to these stall characteristics, the aircraft has
been provided with a stall warning and stick pusher
system to minimize the risk of entering the stall on-
set regime.
The system utilizes two fuselage mounted vanes
which determine both the angle of attack and the
rate of change of the angle of attack.
When the angle of attack is increased, the stick
shakers begin operating a few knots (normally 6−8)
prior to stall, thus providing a pre−stall warning. If
this warning is ignored and the angle of attack con-
tinues to increase, the stick pusher will activate to
lower the nose thus decrease the angle of attack,
thus ensuring adequate recovery response with a
minimum of altitude loss.
The system will be activated at lower angles of at-
tack when stall is approached at high entry rates.
Provided recovery is started firmly at stick shaker
activation, response to control inputs is immediate
and positive.

1. DEFINITION OF SPEEDS

1.1 VMCG Minimum Control Speed on the Ground. In the event of the critical (left) engine sud-
denly becoming inoperative, VMCG is the minimum speed on the ground at which the
lateral deviation can be limited to 30 feet during a continued takeoff. This must be
achieved using primary aerodynamic controls only, with the live engine operating at
Take−Off Power, when the other engine fails.
1.2 VMCA Minimum Control Speed in the Air (Takeoff Configuration, L/G Up). In the event of the
critical (left) engine suddenly becoming inoperative (with the autocoarsen system op-
erative), VMCA is the minimum speed in the air at which the initial heading can be
maintained, using a maximum bank angle of 5_, with the live engine operating at
Take−Off Power.
1.3 VMCL Minimum Control Speed in the Air (Landing Configuration, L/G Down). In the event of
the critical (left) engine suddenly becoming inoperative (with the autocoarsen system
operative), VMCL is the minimum speed in the air at which the initial heading can be
maintained. using a maximum bank angle of 5_, with the live engine operating at
Take−Off Power.
1.4 VS Stalling Speed. The minimum in−flight airspeed defined according to appropriate cer-
tification requirements.
1.5 VS MIN Minimum Stalling Speed. The minimum wings level in−flight airspeed defined accord-
ing to JAR 25.
1.6 VS PUSHER Pusher Stalling Speed. The minimum wings level in−flight airspeed defined according
to FAR 25.
1.7 V1 The decision speed at which, when an engine failure is recognised, the continued
Take−Off Distance to screen height and the distance to bring the airplane to a full
stop will not exceed the Take−Off Distance Available or Accelerate−Stop Distance
Available respectively. V1 must not be less than VMCG limited V1 or greater than VR.
1.8 VR The speed at which rotation is initiated. VR must not be less than V1 or 1.05 VMCA,
and not greater than V2.
1.9 V2 The Takeoff Safety Speed which is the initial climb speed (with one engine inopera-
tive) that must be achieved at, or before, the screen height. The minimum V2 must
be the greater of 1.2 VS and 1.1 VMCA for the take−off configuration.
1.10 VFL UP Flaps up speed. This speed is always VCLEAN −3 KIAS and is intended for the initia-
tion of flap retraction during the acceleration segment of the takeoff path.
1.11 VCLEAN Final climb speed reached by the aircraft at the end of the acceleration segment.
VCLEAN will give at least a margin of 1.25 to VS in clean configuration without maneu-
vering (limited to 15 deg. banked turns). With the prefix “ICE” (VCLEAN −ICE), an addi-
tional 15 knots is added to give a margin of 1.4 to VS.
1.12 VREF The speed for final approach at a height of 50 feet above the landing surface. The
minimum VREF must be the greater of 1.3 VS or VMCL for the landing configuration.
VREF35 is reference speed for flaps 35_.
VREF20 is reference speed for flaps 20_.

1.13 VHOLD The speed in a clean configuration for holding patterns. This speed is calculated to
give a margin of 1.3 to VS in a 25 degree banked turn and an additional 15 KIAS to
compensate for turbulence, windshear etc. In icing condition with residual ice on the
wings, the speed will give at least a margin of 1.4 to VS in a 25 degree banked turn.
In icing conditions with severe turbulence or equivalent conditions a higher speed
might be required.
1.14 VCM Conservative Maneuvering speeds, VCM, are simplified maneuvering speeds. The
VCM is designed to provide a margin of 1.3 to VS in a turn with a bank angle of 30
degrees, at all weights up to Maximum Takeoff Weight. The speed also includes full
speed increments for malfunctions and/or ice accretion.
1.15 VMM Minimum Maneuvering speed for the relevant flap setting. This speed is calculated to
give a margin of 1.3 to VS in a 30 degree banked turn. VMM0 is the Minimum Maneu-
vering speed for flaps 0, VMM7 for flaps 7 etc.
With the prefix “ICE” (VMM0 − ICE) an additional 10 knot is added to maintain the same
margin to stall with residual ice on the wings.
VMM0 is also minimum climb speed Enroute with residual ice on the wings.
1.16 VFA Final Approach speed which is the nominal speed at 50 ft above the landing surface.
VFA is equal to VREF corrected for residual ice on the wings, wind and if applicable
malfunctions. VFA does not cover maneuvering.
1.17 VGA Go−Around speed for the relevant flap setting to be used in a go−around. This speed
will give at least margin of 1.28 to VS or VMCL in a Flaps 7 go−around (VGA7) and
1.32 to VS or VMCL in a Flaps 20 go−around (VGA20). With the prefix “ICE” (VGA7 −
ICE) and residual ice on the wings, the speed will give at least a margin of 1.39 to VS
or VMCL in a Flaps 7 configuration. In flaps 20 configuration the margin will be 1.43 to
VS or VMCL for the same conditions.
1.18 VA Maximum Maneuvering Speed (VA) is maximum speed for full application of rudder
and aileron controls, as well as maneuvers that involve angles of attack near stall.

NOTE
− The MAX BANK angles indicates the maximum bank angle during procedural turns without stall warning.
− For prolonged high bank angles close to the maximum bank angle, increased speed should be used ac-
cording to established recommendations.
− In turbulent conditions, the speed must be adjusted according to the established recommendation, to
keep the margins stated above.
− For icing conditions, the same margins and maximum bank angles are applicable for VCLEAN +5, VREF
and VMM when the applicable ice speed increment is added.
− For V2 , VCLEAN, VCLEAN +5 and VCLEAN − ICE, climb performance is valid for bank angles up to 15_. For
higher bank angles, climb performance must be adjusted.
− The JAA + Australia column is applicable to operators using AFM with code 000, 002 and 003.
− The FAA column is applicable to operators using AFM with code 001.

1. GENERAL

As a complement to the takeoff speed presentation


found in the AFM a simplified tabulation is given in
this chapter. The speed can be used with either
AFM or AOM performance.
Tables with headline FAR STALL SPEED shall be
used by operators using AFM with code 001, FAA
AFM version.
The presentation of takeoff speeds are limited to
6000 ft airport pressure altitude in order to make
this simplification possible. For higher pressure alti-
tude the AFM must be consulted.

allowances.
The takeoff distance in the TAKEOFF WEIGHT vs

General
1. SPEED AND SAR, SINGLE ENGINE

The performance data for Single Engine is provided


as an information to assist the pilot in the decision
making if an engine failure should occur.
As a general rule, One Engine range is never less
than the All Engine range with the same powerset-
ting.

2. OPERATION WITH L/G EXTENDED

Included in this section are the enroute sections,


Climb and Cruise. The data given are based on the
extra drag caused by the Landing Gear being ex-
tended. Except for this the conditions are the same
as for the normal Climb and Cruise in this AOM.
The data in this section constitutes no approval for
dispatch with the L/G extended. All operation must
be performed in accordance with the approved
MMEL. For takeoff and Landing performance, cor-
rections must be performed in accordance with the
approved AFM or AOM.

3. OPERATION WITH RUDDER LIMITER


INOPERATIVE

Included in this section is the Cruise section,


SPEED AND SAR. The data given are based on a
fixed Cruise Speed of 180 KIAS which is the
highest speed authorized with the Rudder Limiter
inoperative.
The data in this section constitutes no approval for
dispatch with the Rudder Limiter inoperative. All
operation must be performed in accordance with
the approved MMEL.
