FOOTNOTES:
1. Maximum permissible sustained torque is 1520 ft-lbs. Propeller speeds
(N2) must be set so as not to exceed power limitation.
2. When gas generator speeds are above 72% N1 and oil temperatures are
between 60°C and 70°C, normal oil pressure is between 85 and 105 psi.
Oil pressures between 40 and 85 psi are undesirable; they should be toler-
ated only for the completion of the flight, and then only at a reduced power
setting. Oil pressures below 40 psi are unsafe; they require that either the
engine be shut down, or that a landing be made at the nearest suitable air-
port, using the minimum power required to sustain flight.
3. For increased service life of engine oil, an oil temperature of between 74°
to 80°C is recommended. A minimum oil temperature of 55°C is recom-
mended for fuel heater operation at take-off power.
4. These values are time-limited to two seconds.
5. High ITT at ground idle may be corrected by reducing accessory load and/
or increasing N1 rpm.
6. Cruise torque values vary with altitude and temperature.
7. Reverse power operation is limited to one minute.
8. High generator loads at low N1 speeds may cause the ITT transient tem-
perature limit to be exceeded. Observe generator load limits.

Section 2
Limitations Model C90GTi
9. Stabilized propeller operation on the ground between 500 and 1100 rpm is
prohibited. Operation in this range can generate high propeller stresses,
which can cause propeller damage and result in propeller failure and loss
of control of the airplane. The propeller may be operated when feathered at
or below 500 rpm.
10. This value is time-limited to 20 seconds.
11. This value is time-limited to 10 minutes.
12. To account for power setting accuracy and steady state fluctuations, inad-
vertent propeller excursions up to 1938 rpm are time-limited to 7 minutes.
13. To account for power setting accuracy and steady state fluctuations, inad-
vertent torque excursions up to 1550 ft-lbs are time-limited to 7 minutes.

EXTERNAL POWER LIMITS


External power carts will be set to 28.0 to 28.4 volts and be capable of generating
a minimum of 1000 amperes momentarily and 300 amps continuously.

GENERATOR LIMITS
The In-Flight Limits are: 100% GENERATOR LOAD and a MINIMUM N1 of 85%
During ground operation, observe the following limitations:

GENERATOR LOAD MINIMUM N1

0 to 50% 59%
50 to 80% 61%
80 to 85% 70%

STARTER LIMITS
Use of the starter is limited to 40 seconds ON, 60 seconds OFF, 40 seconds ON,
60 seconds OFF, 40 seconds ON, then 30 minutes OFF.

3. Crossfeed capability is required for climbs above 8000 feet pressure alti-
tude.

APPROVED FUEL ADDITIVES


ANTI-ICING ADDITIVE
Engine oil is used to heat the fuel on entering the fuel control. Since no tempera-
ture measurement is available for the fuel at this point, it must be assumed to be
the same as the OAT. The graph below is used to determine the minimum oil
temperature required to maintain the fuel temperature above the freezing point of
water, and thus prevent ice accumulations in the fuel control unit. Enter the graph
at the known or forecast OAT and determine the minimum oil temperature
required for each phase of flight. If the anticipated actual oil temperature is not
equal to, or above this minimum temperature, anti-icing additive conforming to
MIL-I-27686 or MIL-I-85470 must be added to the fuel. Refer to Section 4, NOR-
MAL PROCEDURES, for blending procedures.

Section 2
Limitations Model C90GTi

Prior to refueling, check with the fuel supplier to determine


whether or not anti-icing additive has already been added
to the fuel. If anti-icing additive is required, it must be prop-
erly blended with the fuel to avoid deterioration of the fuel
cell sealant. The additive concentration shall be a minimum
of 0.10% and a maximum of 0.15% by volume. To assure
proper concentration by volume of fuel on board, blend
only enough additive for the unblended fuel.
FUEL BIOCIDE ADDITIVE
Fuel biocide-fungicide “BIOBOR JF” in concentrations of 135 ppm or 270 ppm
may be used in the fuel. BIOBOR JF may be used as the only fuel additive or it
may be used with the anti-icing additive conforming to MIL-I-27686 or MIL-I-
85470 specification. Used together the additives have no detrimental effect on
the fuel system components.
Refer to the King Air 90 Series Maintenance Manual and the latest revision of
Pratt & Whitney Service Bulletin No. 1244 for concentrations to use and for pro-
cedures, recommendations and limitations pertaining to the use of biocidal/fungi-
cidal additives in turbine fuels.

LIMITATIONS WHEN ENCOUNTERING SEVERE ICING


CONDITIONS (REQUIRED BY FAA AD 98-04-24)

Severe icing may result from environmental conditions outside of


those for which the airplane is certificated. Flight in freezing rain,
freezing drizzle, or mixed icing conditions (supercooled liquid water
and ice crystals) may result in ice build-up on protected surfaces ex-
ceeding the capability of the ice protection system, or may result in
ice forming aft of the protected surfaces. This ice may not be shed
using the ice protection systems, and may seriously degrade the
performance and controllability of the airplane.
1. During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed those for which the air-
plane is certificated shall be determined by the following visual cues. If one
or more of these visual cues exists, immediately request priority handling
from Air Traffic Control to facilitate a route or an altitude change to exit the
icing conditions.
a. Unusually extensive ice accumulation on the airframe and windshield in
areas not normally observed to collect ice.

Model C90GTi Limitations
b. Accumulation of ice on the upper surface of the wing, aft of the pro-
tected area.
c. Accumulation of ice on the engine nacelles and propeller spinners far-
ther aft than normally observed.
2. Since the autopilot, when installed and operating, may mask tactile cues
that indicate adverse changes in handling characteristics, use of the auto-
pilot is prohibited when any of the visual cues specified above exist, or
when unusual lateral trim requirements or autopilot trim warnings are
encountered while the airplane is in icing conditions.
3. All wing icing inspection lights must be operative prior to flight into known or
forecast icing conditions at night. [NOTE: This supersedes any relief
provided by the Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL).]

• Pro Line Fusion® for King Air Operator Guide, document number 523-
0820001, dated September 5, 2014, or later revision.
• Electronic Standby Display Unit Model DU-42 Pilot’s Guide, document
number 0040-38500-01, Revision A, dated November 5, 2013, or later revi-
sion.
• Aviation Communication and Surveillance Systems (ACSS) TAWS+ Pilot’s
Guide, document number 8006772-001, dated December 2008, or later
revision.
2. The pilot’s and copilot’s Air Data Systems must be operative for takeoff.
3. AHS 1 and 2 must be operative for takeoff.
4. The pilot’s PFD and MFD and the copilot’s PFD must be installed and
operational for takeoff.
5. The airplane must be in Baro Sync on the Systems page, Display set up for
flight.
6. To clean the displays, touch must be inhibited on the reversionary switch
panel for that display.
7. Electronic Checklist content must be generated by the operator using the
Rockwell Collins Checklist Tool (RCCT). The Electronic Checklist feature
meets functional requirements and redundancy for Electronic Checklists,

AUTOPILOT
1. During autopilot operations, a pilot must be seated at the controls with the
seat belt and shoulder harness fastened.
2. An autopilot preflight check must be conducted and found satisfactory prior
to each flight on which the autopilot is to be used.
3. The autopilot minimum engage height after takeoff is 400 feet AGL.
4. The autopilot minimum use height during cruise is 1000 feet AGL.
5. The autopilot minimum use height during precision approach is 100 feet
AGL.
6. The autopilot minimum use height during non-precision approach is 200
feet AGL.
7. Maximum airspeed for autopilot operation is unchanged from the airplane
maximum airspeed (VMO/MMO).
8. The autopilot and yaw damper must not be used for takeoff and landing.
9. Operation of the autopilot system with a pitch trim malfunction is prohibited.
10. Do not manually override the autopilot during normal flight.

Overriding the autopilot in pitch does not cancel the autopi-


lot automatic trim. If a force is applied to the control column
with the autopilot engaged, then automatic trim will run to
oppose the applied force. This can lead to a severe out-of-
trim condition during any phase of flight.
11. The maximum coupled intercept angles are:
Nav and Localizer - Less than 90°
Back Course - 70°
12. The minimum airspeed for autopilot operation must not be less than Vref,
based on the airplane’s configuration.
13. Once established on a Localizer, Localizer Backcourse and ILS
Approaches, with the inbound course set, do not turn or adjust the course
knob. Flight Director and autopilot will temporarily steer the airplane to the
change.
14. VOR approaches conducted without DME must be intercepted greater
than 6 NM from the VOR.

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FMS)


1. IFR en-route and terminal navigation is prohibited unless the pilot has veri-
fied the currency of the database or verifies each selected waypoint for
accuracy by reference to current approved data. Flight crews and opera-
tors should routinely check and at each database cycle, review Aviation
Database Alerts and Database Exclusions List available at www.rockwell-
collins.com/fms to determine database anomalies do not affect intended
flight.
2. If the Satellite Based Augmentation System (WAAS in the United States) is
not available or disabled, the airplane must have additional navigation
equipment appropriate to the intended route, and it must be operational.
3. During periods of dead reckoning, indicated by the FMS DR annunciation,
the FMS shall not be utilized as the primary source of navigation.
4. The WGS-84 or NAD-83 coordinate reference datum in accordance with
the criteria of AC 20-138D must be used. Satellite navigation data is based
upon use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) operated by the United
States.
5. The display of Geometric Altitude, GNSS HT or GNSS ALT, shall not be
referenced for compliance with published or controller-issued altitudes.
6. The FMS is authorized for SBAS operations.
7. The FMS position must be checked for accuracy prior to use as a means of
navigation.
8. The FMS must not be used for navigation unless it is receiving suitable
navigation information from one or more of the following:
• VOR/DME
• A single DME with auto tune selected
• One GPS (GNSS)
9. During oceanic, en route and terminal area operation with the FMS DR
annunciator illuminated, the flight crew must verify the FMS position using
VOR/DME raw data or other appropriate means.
• The FMS is not approved for primary means of navigation in the FMS DR
mode
10. All FMS navigation operations are approved within the U.S. National Air-
space System and latitudes bounded by 60° North latitude and 60° South
latitude at any longitude, with the Attitude Heading System (AHS).

VERTICAL NAVIGATION
1. When using FMS VNAV, the barometric altimeters must be used as the pri-
mary altitude reference for all operations.
2. BARO-VNAV approach guidance to a DA is not authorized if the reported
surface temperature exceeds the Baro-VNAV temperature limitations
specified on the applicable approach procedure chart unless temperature
compensation is utilized. LPV are not subject to temperature restrictions.
3. When conducting an instrument approach using BARO VNAV to LNAV/
VNAV DA minimums, the flight director or autopilot must be used and VGP
mode must be active. This limitation does not apply to LPV.
4. Use of Temperature Compensated BARO-VNAV altitude constraints is
prohibited unless authorized by Air Traffic Control or required by the appro-
priate governing authority.
a. Temperature compensation is only set for cold temperature compensa-
tion.
5. Provided the FMS is receiving adequate usable sensor inputs, it has been
demonstrated capable of and has been shown to meet the accuracy speci-
fications of VNAV operation in accordance with AC 20-138D.
6. RNAV (GPS) Approaches – The Rockwell Collins FMSA-6010 meets the
requirements of AC 20-138D for GPS based RNAV approaches. This
includes RNAV approaches labeled as RNAV (GPS), provided GPS sen-
sor (GNSS) data is valid.
7. While descending at a slow descent rate into VNAV altitude constraints
and not coupled to VPATH or VGP (i.e. VPTCH or VVS) the pilot must
check for ALTV Armed and Altitude Compliance to the FMS VNAV Altitude
Constraints in the flight plan.
8. The FMS Active and Secondary Flight Plans must be cleared prior to the
first flight of the day. The FMS can only have 200 Leg Counts for the Map
FMS progress window to display Vertical Nav Data.
9. When utilizing VNAV for enroute and terminal descent, monitor the altitude
and descent angle against constraints on the FMS Route page.
10. When approaching a Waypoint Altitude constraint, the VNAV TOD data
and the Map FMS progress window should be monitored to ensure the air-
plane will capture the programmed Path to comply with the Waypoint Alti-
tude constraint.

NOTE
The Climb or Descent Flight Phase should be verified on
the FMS Route waypoint crossing data when utilizing the
FMS for vertical constraints.

(TAWS+)
1. Navigation must not be predicated upon use of the Terrain Awareness Dis-
play. The terrain display is intended to serve as a situational awareness
tool only, and may not provide the accuracy and/or fidelity on which to
solely base terrain avoidance maneuvering.
2. The Terrain Awareness Display (TAD) must be inhibited by selecting the
TERR INHIB switch/annunciator when within 15 nm of takeoff, approach,
or landing at an airport not contained in the TAWS+ Airport Database.
Refer to ACSS document 8006417 for airports contained in the database.
(See www.acsscustomerservices.com.)
3. When the FMS is operating in the DR mode, the Terrain Awareness alert-
ing must be inhibited by selecting the TERR INHIB switch/annunciator.

NOTE
The terrain database, displays and alerting algorithms cur-
rently account for limited cataloged human-made obstruc-
tions in North America and Europe. If obstacle data is not
in the database for a particular obstacle the Obstacle
Awareness alerting is not available for the obstacle.
4. The current local QNH altimeter setting must be entered in the pilot’s altim-
eter for proper terrain alerting. In particular, the TERR INHIB switch/annun-
ciator must be selected when operating in QFE mode.
5. The terrain database part number displayed on the MFD by MDC diagnos-
tics must be 9000280-023 or latest.
6. The obstacle database part number displayed on the MFD by MDC diag-
nostics must be 9000380-001 or latest.

TRAFFIC ALERT AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM


(TCAS I)
1. The pilot must not maneuver the airplane based only on the traffic display.
The traffic display is intended to assist in visually locating traffic and lacks
the resolution necessary for use in evasive maneuvering.
2. If the pilot is advised by Air Traffic Control to disable the altitude reporting
function of the transponder, the Traffic Advisory System must be turned off.
3. The traffic advisory system can only detect aircraft that are transponder
equipped.

WEATHER RADAR

The area within the scan arc and within 2 feet (0.65
meters) of an operating TWR-852 system can be a hazard-
ous area. Do not operate the systems in any mode other
than standby (STBY) or test (TEST) when the antenna
might scan over personnel within that range. Turning the
transmitter on while inside the hangar is not advisable.

CRACKED OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD


The following limitations apply when continued flight is required with a cracked
outer or inner ply of the windshield.
1. Continued flight with a cracked windshield is limited to 25 flight hours.
2. Windshields which have a shattered inner ply will have numerous cracks
which will obstruct forward vision and may produce small particles or flakes
of glass that can break free of the windshield and interfere with the crew’s
vision. These windshields must be replaced prior to the next flight unless a
special flight permit is obtained from the local FAA Flight Standards District
Office.
3. Crack(s) must not impair visibility.
4. Crack(s) must not interfere with the use of windshield wipers for flights
requiring the use of the wipers.
5. Windshield Anti-ice must be operational for flights in icing conditions.
6. The following placard must be installed in plain view of the pilot:
MAXIMUM AIRPLANE ALTITUDE IS LIMITED TO
25,000 FEET. CABIN ΔP MUST BE MAINTAINED
BETWEEN 2.0 AND 4.6 PSI DURING FLIGHT
Windshields that have cracks in both the inner and outer plies must be replaced
prior to the next flight unless a specials flight permit is obtained from the local
FAA Flight Standards District Office.
