INTRO TO MULTI

OBJECTIVE
• To become familiar with the flight characteristics,
systems and performance of a multi-engined
aircraft in normal flight conditions
 CONSIDERATIONS
MORE POWER & PERFORMANCE
Better Acceleration
Greater rate of climb
Higher airspeed
Bigger turning radius

MORE COMPLICATED SYSTEMS

Some are duplicated:
2 engines
2 alternators
Fuel system
Constant speed unit 2 suction systems
Retractable undercarriage
2 axis autopilot
 CONSIDERATIONS
AIRCRAFT LOADING

Weights BEW, ZFW, MRPW, MCTOW, MLW

Always Load in
accordance with
a/c flight manual

VISUAL PERSPECTIVE
Lack of nose cowling for attitudes

SEATING POSITION
Full rudder deflection is essential
 CONSIDERATIONS

AIRCRAFT SPEEDS

• Vmca 65 • Vno 154

• Vsse 71 • Vs 70
• Va 132 • Vso 60
• Vfe 110 • Vx 71
• Vle 140 • Vy 85
• Vlo 140 – 112 • Vyse 85

 ENGINE HANDLING
CSU OPERATION

• Pitch full fine on the

ground – throttle will
control RPM
• To increase power
work from right to
left
• To decrease power
work from left to
right
• Remember cowl flaps
 ENGINE HANDLING
POWER SETTINGS

CLIMB 25” 2500RPM

CRUISE 24” 2300RPM
DESCENT 20” 2300RPM

2 Sets of T’s and P’s to monitor

Manifold pressure decreases as
altitude increases
Monitor carb temps for icing
Smooth throttle and pitch
changes
HUMAN FACTORS/AIRMANSHIP

• IMSAFE
• Situational awareness
• More anticipation due to inertia
• LOOKOUT
• QRH / Flightmanual in emergencies
• Checklist
• Takeoff Safety briefing
 AIR EXERCISE
FAMILIARISATION

• Cockpit layout Flight instruments

Engine instruments
Radios/Navaids
Autopilot
Electrics – circuit breakers
Engine controls
Cabin ventilation
Undercarriage system

STARTUP One engine at a time

 AIR EXERCISE
TAXI

• No need for asymmetric power in BE76

• Not much prop clearance
• Avoid using the brakes while turning

RUN-UPS

• 2 stages 2200RPM - Normal checks

- Cycle props
1500RPM – Feather check
 AIR EXERCISE
TAKE OFF

• Take off brief

• Treat both throttles as one, and move together.
• Feet on the brakes 20” set and check RPM’s
• Release brakes and set full power
• Rotate around 71 kts, and climb at 85 knots
• No runway remaining retract gear
• After 500’ & OCA, set climb power 25” 2500 RPM
 AIR EXERCISE
PROP SYNCHRONISATION

• Set RPM’s. Adjust sound with right prop

GENERAL HANDLING
• Medium / Steep turns
• Stalls: • Basic No gear, power, or flap
• Landing config 15” MAP, gear down, full flap
• Stall in turn 15” MAP, gear down, no flap

Pitch to full fine before recovery
