Introduction
About this Manual

This PMDG Jetstream 41 Aircraft Operating Manual is designed to help simulator pilots
learn the mechanical systems and technical details of the PMDG Jetstream 41. This
manual shows how each system is configured, how it is operated and how the crew
can interact with the airplane.

How to use this Manual

This manual should be used by simulator pilots who are interested in learning how the
Jetstream 41 operates and how to utilize the various systems on the airplane effec-
tively in all phases of flight.

The Jetstream 41 is a fairly complex regional airliner. In spite of this complexity, it is


important that pilots have a comprehensive understanding of what each system on the
airplane is doing, how it is controlled, and what operations might be impeded in the
event of a failure.

This manual is broken into chapters with each chapter providing detail on one particu-
lar subsystem or system type. You can read through an individual chapter to learn how
a system on the Jetstream 41 is operated, or you can read through the entire manual
section by section to learn how the entire airplane is operated.

Gaining the most from this Manual

The best method to improve your understanding of this airplane is to launch the simu-
lator, then load the Jetstream 41 and sit in the virtual cockpit while reading through this
material. This technique will allow you to touch, feel and explore the systems operation
of the Jetstream 41 and see how the airplane responds to pilot interaction.

Introduction

A Turbo-prop Regional Airliner Reborn!


The Jetstream 41 turboprop regional airliner, manufactured by BAE Systems, is a
major development of the Jetstream 31/32 regional airliner family, which entered ser-
vice in 1982. The Jetstream 31 and the Jetstream 32EP (enhanced performance) are
19-seat turboprop airliners. The stretched Jetstream 41 development was announced
in 1989, the first flight took place in 1991 and the aircraft entered service in 1992. The
goal was to compete directly with 30-seat aircraft like the Embraer Brasilia, Dornier
328 and Saab 340.

The Jetstream 41’s stretched fuselage is 16 ft (4.88 m) longer, consisting of an 8 foot


(2.5 m) plug forward of the wing and a 7 ft 9 in (2.36 m) plug to the rear; the fuselage
design was completely new and did not contain any parts of the old fuselage. The new
design required an increased wing span, which also included reworked ailerons and
flaps. The wing was mounted below the fuselage in order for it not to carry through
the cabin aisle, which also led to larger wing root fairings which increased baggage
capacity.

The Jetstream 41 is fitted with Garrett TPE331-14 engines (now owned by Honey-
well), and delivered 1,500 shp (1,120 kW) and later 1,650 shp (1,232 KW). They
were mounted in new nacelles which increased ground clearance. The flightdeck was
equipped with a modern EFIS setup, as well as a new windscreen arrangement. The
J41 was the first turbo-prop certified to both JAR25 and FAR25 standards.

In January 1996, the J41 became part of the Aero International (Regional) (AI(R)), a
marketing consortium consisting of ATR, Aérospatiale (of France), Alenia (of Italy),
and British Aerospace.

Over 90 Jetstream 41 aircraft are operational worldwide in both 29/30 seat commuter
and 14-seat corporate shuttle configurations.

An accurate, detailed simulation of the Jetstream 41 has been sorely missing from
desktop flight simulation... Until Now!

After being in development for 9 months, PMDG’s award winning development team is
proud to release this faithfully reproduced aircraft! In traditional PMDG style, no effort
was spared during this extensive development process and we are certain the J41 will
quickly become your favorite regional turbo prop simulation!

Beta Testers

Thank You!
In any project of this scope, there is always a very dedicated development team. For
a development team to succeed, there must be an unwavering commitment to the
fine detail of the product and to the product quality. While the dedicated experts on
the PMDG development team have raised realism in flight simulation to a science, we
depend very heavily upon the dedication of our beta team to make our products the
highest quality possible. Without these fine individuals, it simply would not be pos-
sible to bring you the quality level for which PMDG products are known.

We would like to thank the following individuals for their time, attention to detail, can-
dor, sense of humor and sense of urgency during the development of this product.

Thank You

We would also like to put special notice on our Senior Beta Tester, George Morris, who
has been beta testing for PMDG for a decade as of October, 2009. A decade in any
endeavor is admirable, but a decade in a job that get such poor recognition is truly
inspiring. George, thank you for your efforts during the past decade, and we look
forward to working with you over the next one!

All of us at PMDG would also like to thank Lauren Crocker at Northstar Aviation for
helping us to arrange access to the J41s used in the creation of this product. We
would also like to thank the many the fine technicians at Northstar Aviation’s facility
in Mena, Arkansas who, in spite of conducting a last minute engine change in order to
ship a refurbished J-41 overseas, were gracious and accommodating of every request
as we photographed, measured and recorded around their work.

Dedication

Dedication
At PMDG we do not normally dedicate our products to specific groups or individuals,
but with this project we decided to do something a bit different. The BAe JetStream
4100 was operated in the United States by powerful little company called Atlantic
Coast Airlines. ACA, based out of Washington Dulles International Airport had humble
beginnings with a handful of borrowed J-31s and EMB-120s, but grew to be one of
the most powerful (and profitable) regional airlines that the industry had seen as of
the first few years of this millennium. Operating more than 150 aircraft, ACA covered
the eastern US flying in the colors of United and Delta airlines and was an industry
leader in performance, quality of life for employees and innovative approaches to the
complex business of regional airline operations. Unfortunately, ambition, disregard for
history and poor timing combined to make this airline an anecdote for history, forgot-
ten by all but those who worked there.

At its peak, Atlantic Coast Airlines was the world’s largest operator of JetStream 41
aircraft. For this reason, we dedicate the effort required to produce this simulation to
the men and women who worked there. From the maintenance shop to the ramp, the
gate areas, ticket counters, dispatch desks, cockpits, cabins and yes, even the crew
scheduling desks, ACA employees ran a large airline that never stopped feeling like a
big (if not sometimes dysfunctional) family.

ACA may be gone, but the friendships made there live on. This airplane is for all of
you.

1. Maximum Operating Speed (VMO) from sea level to 17,400 ft pressure


altitude is 250 KIAS
2. VMO above 17,400 ft. to 25,000 ft. pressure altitude reduces linearly to
a speed of 214 KIAS
3. Above 17,400 ft. MMO is 52 Mach
4. VMO/MMO must not be deliberately exceeded in any phase of flight.

b. Minimum Flight Speeds

1. Climb (except single engine): 170 KTS or .35 Mach


2. Enroute (except single engine): 170 KTS

c. Approach Area Minimum Speeds

1. Flap 0 and 9: 160 KTS


2. Flap 15: 140 KTS
3. Flap 25: Target until 200’ AGL
4. The above minimum speeds will be used in the terminal area until slower
speed is necessary to make a configuration change for landing, or once
the final flap setting is achieved.
5. When the final flap setting is achieved, the minimum flight speed is Target
for that flap setting (e.g., if the final flap setting is 15, the minimum speed
is 160 KTS when flaps are 0 or 9. When flaps 15 is desired, the aircraft
may be slowed below 160 KTS to allow flaps 15 to be set at a speed suf-
ficient to avoid exceeding 160 KTS).
6. When the final flaps setting is achieved, Target is the minimum speed for
that flap setting.

General
A. Introduction
1. This chapter contains directions for the accomplishment of Preparation
and Planning, Flows, Checklists, and Profiles for normal operations. This
chapter provides the basic information necessary to operate the aircraft
during a normal flight. The information herein is presented in a normal flight
sequence.

B. Preparation And Planning Philosophy


1. Preparation and Planning procedures are duties that do not fit into a
specific Flow or Profile. They include preflight and in-flight duties, such as
getting the ATIS, reviewing the release, getting the clearance, performance
calculations, Pax briefings, approach briefings, etc. Preparation and Plan-
ning duties are performed when appropriate, considering the phase of flight
and expectations of how the flight will progress.
2. Critical items that are part of Preparation and Planning duties are included
in various checks to verify they have been completed.

C. Flows & Checklists Philosophy


1. Most procedures are accomplished by a Flow-Check combination. After
a flow is completed, the checklist will serve to verify critical items/proce-
dures have been accomplished.

a. A flow pattern is the stringing together of items to be performed in a


logical order to increase efficiency. Flows contain items that may not be
subsequently challenged or checked by the checklist. All flow items are
required actions that must be committed to, and performed by memory.
Published flows must be performed in the exact order specified.

2. When used with a flow philosophy, all checked items will be completed
prior to calling for the check, excluding ‘Do” checks (“Do” checks require
the action be performed as the checklist is being read, as opposed to a
flow-check).

General

3. The checklist is intended to achieve the following:

a. Aid the pilots in recalling the process for configuring the aircraft.
b. Provide a standard foundation to verify aircraft configuration while defeat-
ing any reduction in the flight crew’s psychological and physical condi-
tion.
c. Provide convenient sequences for motor movements and eye fixations
along the cockpit panels.
d. Provide a sequential framework to meet internal and external cockpit
operational requirements.
e. Allow mutual supervision among crewmembers.
f. Promote a team concept for configuring the aircraft by keeping all crew-
members involved.

4. Checks are either “silent” or “aloud”. During ground operations, the Cap-
tain will call for all checks, and the First Officer (FO) will read all checks.
During flight, the Pilot Flying (PF) will call for all checks and the Pilot Not
Flying (PNF) will read all checks. When reading an “aloud” check, the
crewmember(s) designated to respond to the challenge should visually
confirm that the challenged action (switch position, instrument configura-
tion, etc.) has been properly accomplished.

5. If a single response covers multiple items, the response will indicate that
all required actions have been completed. Any action that has not been
performed or completed when challenged must be completed before the
next challenge is read.

6. When a check is complete, the pilot reading the check will state “CHECK
COMPLETE”.

7. The description of each check is laid out (unless otherwise indicated) by


the flow for each pilot, as well as the activities to be conducted at each
step in the flow, then the check, and if necessary, an expanded check for
those items not previously explained by the flow. Typical layout:

a. Flow 1st.
b. Check 2nd.
c. Expanded check (if not previously explained) 3rd.

8. Checklist items printed in all CAPITAL LETTERS must be read aloud. Items
in lower case letters will be read silently.

9. Checklist Items indented with + are accomplished on the aircraft’s first


flight of the day only.

10. The following is a list of abbreviations for the pilot who will make the
response to a challenge:

a. CAPTAIN ........................ C
b. FIRST OFFICER .............. F
c. PILOT FLYING ................. PF
d. PILOT NOT FLYING ......... PNF
e. BOTH ............................. B

(1) On a “Both” response, the pilot reading the check will respond
second.

D. Profile Philosophy
1. The described profiles are to be performed in training and line operations.
Small deviations from these profiles may be required during some opera-
tions since it is impossible to envision all possible scenarios when scripting
profiles.
2. Many of the profiles are described by stating Flight Director (FD) modes.
The PF will follow the FD when it is properly set up. If the FD is inoperative,
the actual flight path and speeds flown will be the same as if the FD was
operative. It is understood that Flight Control Panel/Flight Director (FCP/FD)
selection calls need not be made if the FD is inoperative.

E. Crew Coordination
1. Throughout all normal procedures, even when not specifically written,
crewmembers will monitor the airplane systems through periodic checks of
the various instruments, displays and circuit breaker panels.
2. If the Autopilot (AP) is not engaged, the PNF will make all FCP/FD selec-
tions at the request of the PF. In cases where the PNF is occupied with
other essential duties, the PF may make simple FCP/FD selections.
3. If the AP is engaged, the PF will make his own FCP/FD selections In high
workload situations, the PF may ask the PNF to make the selection for him.
4. When calling for FCP selections, the PF will state the title of the button he
wants pushed.

a. Heading Changes

a) Autopilot Off:

(1) The PNF will set heading changes issued by ATC The PNF will enter
the new heading while reading it back to ATC Once the new heading
is entered, the PNF will state the new heading, followed by verbal
confirmation by the PF.

Chapter 4 - Normal Procedures & Profiles
General

(a) Example:

(i) ATC issues a heading of 230°.


(ii) The PNF enters the 230° heading while reading it back and
once the heading is entered, states “230”.
(iii) The PF verifies the correct heading and states, “230”.

b) Autopilot On:

(1) The PF will set heading changes issued by ATC. The PF will enter
the new heading while the PNF reads it back to ATC. Once the new
heading is set, the PF will state the new heading, followed by verbal
confirmation by the PNF.

(a) Example:

(i) ATC issues a heading of 230°.


(ii) The PF enters the 230° heading and, once the heading is
entered, states, “230”.
(iii) The pilot not flying reads the heading back to ATC, verifies the
proper heading and states, “230”.

b. Altitude Changes

a) Autopilot Off:

(1) The PNF will set any altitude change issued by ATC. The PNF will
enter the new altitude clearance while reading it back to ATC. Once
the new altitude is entered, the PNF will restate the altitude new
clearance and point at the altitude displayed until a verbal confirma-
tion is received from the PF.

General

(a) Example:

(i) ATC issues an altitude of 8000’


(ii) The PNF enters 8000’ in the altitude preselector while read-
ing it back. The PNF then points to the preselect display and
states, “Eight Thousand”.
(iii) The PF verifies the correct altitude and states, “Eight Thou-
sand”.

b) Autopilot On:

(1) The PF will set any altitude change issued by ATC. The pilot flying
will enter the new altitude clearance while the PNF reads it back
to ATC. Once the new altitude is entered, the PF will state the new
clearance altitude and point at the display until a verbal confirmation
is received from the PNF.

(a) Example:

(i) ATC issues an altitude of 8000’.


(ii) The PF enters 8000’ in the altitude preselector while the PNF
reads it back. The PF then points to the preselect display and
states, “Eight Thousand”.
(iii) The PNF verifies the correct altitude and states, “Eight Thou-
sand”.

c. FMS Entries

1) While taxiing, the FO will make all FMS entries.


2) At or below 10,000 feet (not in cruise), the PNF should make all
FMS entries. In cases where the PNF is occupied with other essen-
tial duties, the PF may make simple FMS selections.
3) Above 10,000 feet or in cruise flight below 10,000 ft, the PF may
make FMS entries when workload permits.

d. Transfer of Control

1) The following procedure will be used when transferring controls


from one crewmember to the other:

(i) The pilot transferring the flight controls will brief the direction
(heading or course), altitude and any other pertinent informa-
tion (e.g., crossing restriction, airspeed restriction, clearance
limit, etc.), and state, “You have the controls”.

2) The pilot accepting the flight controls will state, “I have the controls”.

e. Comm Radio Management

1) The Comm 1 radio will normally be used for ATC communications.


The PF will always monitor Comm 1. The PNF will monitor Comm
1 and perform ATC communication duties except when other duties
interfere (e.g., getting the ATlS, in range calls, PAX briefings, etc.)
2) Whenever the PNF stops monitoring ATC, he will inform the PF by
stating, “I’m off one”. The PF will acknowledge by stating, “I have
one” and will assume ATC communication duties. When the PNF
resumes ATC communication duties, he will state, “Back on one”.
The PF will advise the PNF of any changes that have occurred while
the PNF was not monitoring Comm 1. If no changes occurred, the
PF will state, “No changes”.

f. Navigational Charts

1) For ground, departure and arrival operations, both pilots will have
the appropriate chart in use.
2) In cruise, at least one pilot will have a chart open to the appropriate
area and available for immediate use.

Exterior Preflight Inspection

B. Exterior Preflight Inspection


1. The exterior preflight is a visual inspection of the aircraft that ensures the
airplane condition is acceptable for flight The preflight inspection will be
performed anytime the crew accepts a new aircraft. It is normally per-
formed by the FO. However, it is encouraged but not required, that the
Captain do a short walk-around inspection after the FO has completed the
initial preflight This is a simple way to check and verify your partners work.
2. The preflight starts at the forward door of the aircraft and progresses in a
clockwise manner to the nose, right wing, empennage, left wing and then
ends at the forward door.
3. While conducting the inspection, check the proximate area for potential
FOD items and unusual obstructions.
4. The airplane and its visible components must be checked for damage and
general condition, evidence of leaks, and as specified below:

a) Passenger Door
(i) Check condition of the door seal and the door restraining cable.
Observe movement and dampening during lowering of passenger
door. Lift the speed lock release cover and ensure that the speed
lock lanyard ring is visible.
b) Left Front Fuselage
(i) Ensure the Pitot/Static and TAT covers are removed and ports are
clear of obstructions. Inspect AOA sensor. Check that the skin,
antennas, ice detector probe and left windshield/wiper are unob-
structed and undamaged.

D. Cockpit Preparation
1. The Cockpit Preparation check is the interior preflight of the cockpit It is per-
formed primarily by the Captain, but the FO will complete some items that are
out of reach of the Captain.
2. The Cockpit Preparation Check is performed prior to the first flight of the day,
after a crew change, if the cockpit has been unattended by a flight crewmem-
ber for an extended period of time, or maintenance has been performed.
3. On the first flight of the day, all system tests on the check must be done for
subsequent flights; ensure all switches are in the correct position and indica-
tions are normal.
4. The Cockpit Preparation check may be accomplished as a read-and-do list or
as a flow-check combination. If accomplished as a flow-check, the order of
the flow is not published or specified.

Taxiing

M. Taxiing
1. Single-engine taxis will be lAW the AOM.
2. Advancing the power levers within the ground range should cause
the aircraft to move forward at all operating weights on level
ground. Additional taxi thrust may be achieved by advancing either
power lever forward of FLIGHT IDLE. Once the aircraft is moving,
maintain speed by small power adjustments. Project ahead, utilizing
reverse to slow the aircraft, and avoid riding the brakes.
3. The toe brakes are very powerful, and experience is required to
achieve smooth braking action. With practice, the use of brakes can
be minimized and a smoother ride achieved. Continuous braking
during taxi to maintain taxi speed should be avoided.
4. The nose wheel steering system is rate-limited and some anticipa-
tion of turns is required. Speed should be reduced to a minimum
prior to turning. Turn radius may be minimized with the assistance
of differential braking and differential power. Using normal steer-
ing techniques, obstruction avoidance during turns is ensured by
observing that the wing and the tail of the aircraft remain within the
arc.
5. On contaminated surfaces, keep nosewheel steering angles and taxi
speeds to a minimum. Avoid harsh brake applications and severe
nosewheel angles.
6. Consideration must be given to oil temperature during prolonged
taxi in high ambient temperatures. Increasing RPM with the Condi-
tion Levers in such situations will not help to cool the engines. To
force additional air for cooling through the oil coolers and vents,
advance the Power Levers.
7. In extreme cases, the engine may have to be shut down to avoid
over temperature conditions. Refer to the QRH.

(1) Set the engine RPM as operations require. Under no circum-


stances should the RPM be adjusted at a height lower than
1500’ HAA. The recommended climb setting is 98% RPM.
This will be accomplished by reducing the EGT to 50° C below
VRL and the torque below 95%, and then setting RPM to 98%.
If only climbing to a low altitude, 96% RPM may be set at this
time. If better climb performance is legitimately needed, the
engine RPM may be set to 100% until no longer necessary.

g) Prop Sync .......................... On - PNF

(1) The prop sync will be turned ON after manually adjusting both

a. Enroute Climb Profile Expanded


a) 10,000’ MSL

(1) Select the conspicuity lights OFF and the tail flood to NAV ON.
(2) The PNF will notify the flight attendant that sterile cockpit is over
by turning the seat belt sign OFF then ON.
(3) If conditions allow, the seatbelt sign should be selected to OFF.
Make the appropriate announcement per the AOM.
(4) If the cruise altitude is less than 10,000 feet MSL, accomplish
all of the previous items but leave the conspicuity lights ON.
(5) Climb at 170 KIAS until reaching M 0.35, then maintain a speed
of M 0.35 to the desired altitude.
(6) NOTE: The mach meter will not be displayed until an altitude of
15,000’ and above.
(7) The normal climb power is 98% RPM and EGT 10°C below VRL
with the maximum continuous torque limit of 100%. Climbing
at 100% RPM may be warranted if conditions such as heavy
takeoff weight combined with high outside air temperature,
icing conditions or turbulence exist. Manually synchronize the
propellers during climb with a recommended RPM setting of
99-100% before switching the propeller synchrophaser ON.
(8) Before reducing the RPM below 100%, reduce power so the
EGT is 50°C below the VRL and the torque is below 95%.
CAUTION: A rise in torque and EGT occurs when RPM is reduced,
which may result in exceeding EGT and torque limits if
the above procedure is not followed.
(9) A decrease in torque and an increase in EGT toward the VRL
limit will be noted during the climb. The power levers may need
to be adjusted to maintain the required climb power.

V. Descent And Approach Preparation And Planning


1. These items are performed when appropriate, normally 20-30 minutes prior
to arrival. They will be completed prior to the descent and approach check.

a. ATIS
1) The PNF will listen to and write down the arrival airport ATIS. This
should be done as soon as the ATIS is receivable to give the maxi-
mum amount of time to prepare for approach.

b. Flight Attendant Notification


1) The PNF will announce over the PA, “(Flight Attendant’s first name),
Prepare for Arrival”.

c. Landing Data and Fuel


1) The PNF will set the following speeds, using landing fuel + zero
fuel weight to estimate landing weight:

(1) V target = Magenta

(i) The magenta (target) speed should be displayed for the ap-
proach until 200’ AGL.

(2) VREF = Blue


(3) V2 = White
(4) VYSE = Green

2) The PNF will take note of the fuel on board and compare FMS and
aircraft fuel indications. Check that fuel remaining is sufficient for
destination, alternate, and reserve requirements. Check to ensure
normal distribution and balance.

d. Arrival Briefing
1) The crew will brief the following information as it relates to the
specific arrival and approach. There should be no “standard” brief,
as every arrival is different.
2) Items that are not specifically relevant to that arrival (i.e., poor brak-
ing action on a dry day) should not be discussed.

a) Descent Profile

(1) Ensure both crewmembers are aware of any crossing


restrictions and arrival procedures.

b) ATIS, Statement of Conditions and Approach Strategy

(1) The PNF will read the ATIS in full to the PF. Ensure both
crewmembers are aware of any abnormal airport condi-
tions.
(2) The PF will prioritize and state the specific airport condi-
tions that are relevant for the arrival (e.g., closed runways,
snow, adverse braking action, LAHSO, crossing depar-
tures, windshear, etc.). The PF will brief the type of ap-
proach planned, and if it will be hand-flown or coupled and
the altitude the autopilot will be turned OFF if coupled. Brief
the desired landing flap setting. Consider the need for ice
protection and ice AOA speeds.
(3) Flap Settings
(i) All normal landings should be made with flaps at 25.
When very turbulent conditions or strong gusty winds
are present, a flap 15 landing may be made at the
Captain’s discretion.
c) Bottom Lines
(1) Using specific performance targets, state what minimum
acceptable performance or conditions will be accepted
during the arrival.

d) Back-up Plans

(1) Discuss specifically what course of action will be taken if


specific bottom lines are exceeded. Plan for a go-around
and alternative actions if the approach can not be com-
pleted.

e. PNF Approach Setup


1) The approach setup should be done after the arrival briefing and the
crew knows which approach to expect. The PNF will set all navaids
and instruments for the approach, except those items out of his
reach.
2) Set the inbound course: If navigating on the FMS, select magenta
needle, set the course and select bearing pointers as required. Have
the PF set his own inbound course and bearing pointers.
3) Set the frequency for the approach in #1 and #2 RMU preset.

4) Identify navigation aids whenever possible. Final approach aids


(ILS, VOR, ADF) should be tuned on both receivers so that cross-
monitoring of signals is achieved.
5) All NDB approaches should be flown using the EHSI, eliminating the
need to monitor the station identification.
6) Before beginning the approach, verify the approach frequency is
set and in use, each RMU, LNAV is OFF and VHF/ADF is in use as
required.
7) Let the PF know the approach setup is complete and you are ready
to brief the approach.

a. Navaid Setup

1) If flying a visual approach or visual pattern and a localizer is available,


both pilots will navigate using the localizer as a backup. The FMS will be
used as a backup to identify airport location and distance. If no localizer
is available, then both pilots will monitor position using the FMS.

b. Visual Approach Profile Expanded

a) Modified Visual Approaches

(1) Guidance is given below for a standard downwind, base and final
approach. Since visual approach clearances can be issued to aircraft
in most any position from the landing field, it is not possible to con-
struct a visual approach profile for each circumstance.
(2) Pilot judgment is essential when maneuvering the aircraft under
these circumstances in order to achieve the required configuration
and speed in a defined approach position. For example, base leg,
level with glide path, 160 kts or less with flaps at 15. Once that is
done, the remainder of the published profile is used to complete the
approach.
(3) For straight-in high speed approaches, altitude, airspeed and config-
uring for landing must be planned such that the aircraft is in compli-
ance with stabilized approach criteria.

b) Cleared for Approach

(1) When cleared for the approach, the PNF turns taxi light ON and an-
nounces on the PA, “Flight Attendant be seated”.

a. Navaid and FD Setup

a) General

(1) The J-41 is not approved to use FMS as the NAV source on final ap-
proach (from FAF to MAP inclusive). Therefore, on final it is required
to have the approach’s ground-based navaids selected.
(2) We do use FMS for missed approaches and holding.

b) FMS Intercept to a VHF Course

(1) LNAV should be selected in the EFlS display controller, and NAV
should be armed on the FD Mode Selector.
(2) Tune the approach frequency and push the V/L button once to
display the magenta-colored course needle, and select the proper
inbound course for the approach.
(3) Enter the assigned intercept heading or navigation fix in the FMS.
(4) Push the NAV button on the FD Mode Selector, so ARM and CAP
both illuminate on the NAV selector.
(5) When the VHF course captures, LNAV will disarm and the VHF
course will be displayed with a green needle.
(6) Fly the remainder of the approach as described by the specific
profile.

c) LOC only approaches

(1) The FD should be set to NAV mode to track the localizer. Do not arm
APR mode on the FD to fly LOC ONLY approaches.

d) VOR approaches

(1) The FD should be set to APR mode to track a VOR approach. The FD
will now apply the gains appropriate for a VOR approach.

e) NDB approaches

(1) ADF #1 and #2 should each be tuned to the navigation aid fre-
quency to track the approach.

b. Non-Precision Approach Profile Expanded

a) Vectored for Approach

(1) Once in heading mode, each pilot will tune the approach frequency,
set the final approach course and set the bearing pointers as re-
quired. The PNF may be asked to identify the navaids.

b) Cleared for Approach

(1) When approach clearance is received and the aircraft is on a head-


ing to intercept the approach course (current heading within 90 de-
grees of approach course), ensure the FD NAV is armed to capture
the course.
(2) When the FD has captured ALT, the next step-down altitude should
be set with the altitude selector.
(3) When cleared for the approach, the PF arms approach on the FD.
The PNF turns taxi light ON and announces on the PA, “Flight At-
tendant be seated”.
(4) After the LOC is captured, set the heading bug to runway heading
(+/- wind correction is allowed).

c) Configuring for Approach

(1) The initial approach should be flown at 170 KIAS.


(2) The aircraft should be configured for landing, and on target speed
prior to crossing the FAF.

will select ALTSEL, VS and set a vertical speed of 1000 fpm down.
Higher descent rates may be used for any portion of the descent
that is above 1000 above MDA.
(2) As the FD displays ALT, the PF will call, “Set Next Altitude.” The PNF
sets the next step-down altitude with the altitude selector and calls,
“ feet set”. Alternatively, the PF may call for ALT to be manually
selected to expedite the process. The call will be, “Altitude Hold, Set
Next Altitude”.
(3) At 1000’ above MDA, the PNF will state, “One Thousand”.
(4) At 200 above MDA, the PNF will state, “Two Hundred”.
(5) At 100 above MDA, the PNF will state, “One Hundred”.

a) 2OO’ to touchdown

(1) The PNF will call for the yaw damper to be turned OFF, bring up VREF
speed in the display window and then begin making VREF calls in
five-knot increments. Example:

i. At 200 feet, after calls referencing DH are complete, the next


call should be, “Yaw Damper Off, PIus 15”. “PIus 15” is given
in this example, assuming the approach is exactly on speed.

(2) The PF should ensure the Yaw Damper is OFF by clicking the ICO
switch on the control wheel. Alternatively, the Yaw Damper and FD
can be canceled simultaneously by pressing the GA button on the
left power lever and then pressing the TCS button.
(3) If the Yaw Damper is still on after the “Yaw Damper Off” call is
made, the PNF will turn the Yaw Damper OFF.
(4) Start to reduce power and aim to cross the threshold at VREF.

b) Touchdown and Roll out

(1) Fly a landing attitude and retard the POWER levers to FLIGHT IDLE.
Land using minimum float.
(2) Lower the nose wheel gently to the runway as soon as the main
wheels are firmly on the ground.
(3) The runway centerline should be maintained by steering with the
rudder pedals.
(4) The PF should begin slowing the aircraft when desired by selecting
ground idle.

NOTE: Ground idle is the power lever position that is immediately behind
the flight idle gate. In order to obtain ground idle, the latch levers
must be lifted and the power levers moved aft of the flight idle gate.

107
v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 4 - Normal Procedures & Profiles
Landing Profile

(5) Moving the POWER levers further aft of ground idle will deploy the
spoilers. This can be verified by checking the illumination of the
green spoiler light. Reverse and brakes can be used as necessary
for additional stopping performance.
CAUTION: lf spoilers do not deploy, landing distance will be increased by 8%.
(6) The crew should consider runway length and surface conditions,
traffic spacing and ATC instructions for the safest and most expedi-
tious means for slowing the aircraft and exiting the active runway.
WARNING: If minimum landing roll is desired, it is essential to select ground
idle as soon as possible after touchdown. Failure to select
ground idle results in residual propeller thrust that significantly
compromises braking performance and causes landing distanc-
es to exceed those demonstrated by the manufacturer.

WARNING: The illumination of the red beta light after landing merely indi-
cates a switch malfunction It does not represent a hazardous
condition, and normal braking facilities are not affected. It is vital
that timely selection and retention of ground idle be selected un-
der these conditions if design stopping performance is desired.
c) 70 KIAS
(1) The PNF should call, “Seventy knots”. If the FO is the PF, the Captain
will call, “My Controls”.
(2) When the PNF calls, “Seventy knots”, the Captain will begin steer-
ing with the tiller and the First Officer should restrain the column for
gusts and prepare to bring the condition levers to taxi when called
for by the Captain.
(3) When reverse thrust is no longer required, the PF will move the
power levers out of reverse and the Captain will call, “Out of Re-
verse, Condition Levers Taxi”.
(4) When the Captain calls for “Condition levers taxi”, the First Officer
will move the condition levers to the TAXI position.
CAUTION: “Condition levers taxi” should not be called for until the power
levers are out of the reverse position, or engine damage/flameout
could result.

a. General
1) Crews will execute a missed approach lAW the AOM.
2) If executing a go-around from an altitude other than MDA or DH, it may
not be necessary to add full power even though the PF call is set power,
flaps 9, positive rate, gear up. Partial power or a small power increase
may be more appropriate if the aircraft is within 1000 feet of missed ap-
proach altitude or already level at a safe assigned altitude.
3) If visual contact with the airport is lost while circling, the PF will call
“Missed approach’. Initiate the missed approach by doing a climbing
turn toward the landing runway until intercepting the published missed
approach applicable to the approach that was flown. Fly the Missed Ap-
proach Profile.
4) Either crewmember may initiate a missed approach by stating, “Missed
Approach”.

b. Missed Approach Profile Expanded

a) Initial Climb

(1) At the ‘Missed Approach” call, the PF will simultaneously apply full
power, press the go-around button, pitch to the command bars and
call, “Set Power, Flaps Nine”.
i. Initial climb speed should not be less than 120 kt AS, or if
[ICING AOA] caption is on, not less than 130 kt AS.

(2) The PNF will ensure 100% torque or VRL, whichever occurs first, is
set, and then retract the flaps to 9.
(3) At the first indication of a positive rate of climb, the PF will state,
“Positive rate, gear up”. The PNF will verify a positive rate of climb
and call, “Positive rate” and select gear UP.
(4) If the PF delays his call, the PNF will prompt him by stating, “Positive
Rate”, but will not retract the gear until the PF has actually requested
gear up.

b) Call ATC

(1) The PNF will report the Missed Approach to ATC and get instruc-
tions.
(2) Until the aircraft is above 600’ AGL, properly configured and under
positive control, the PNF’s sole duties will be to assist the PF in
configuring the aircraft and obtaining ATC instructions.

c) 500’ AGL

(1) The PF may call, “Autopilot ON”.

d) Navigation

(1) If ATC has instructed the flight to fly the published missed approach
or if no word is heard from ATC, the PNF will state the first actions of
the missed approach (e.g., “Climb straight ahead to 2000’, then turn
left to 210).
(2) The PF will call for a horizontal and a vertical mode on the ED, such
as “Heading, Altitude Select, Indicated Airspeed” and fly the missed
approach procedure until the FMS or other NAVAIDS is ready.
(3) The PNF will then prepare the FMS and other NAVAIDS, as neces-
sary, to fly the missed approach.

e) Acceleration Height

(1) The acceleration height is 400 above airport elevation.


(2) At a minimum speed of VYSE (V2 + 10 with ice AOA ON), the PE will
state, “Flaps Up, Go Around/Missed Approach Check”.

v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 5 - Abnormal Procedures & Profiles
General

General
A. Introduction
1. This chapter contains the EMERGENCY EVACUATION PLACARD, MEMORY
ITEMS and QUICK REFERENCE CHECKLIST (QRC). These items, along with
the QUICK REFERENCE HANDBOOK (QRH), are used to accomplish the
Preparation and Planning, and Checklists and Profiles for EMERGENCY and
ABNORMAL operations.

B. Checklists Philosophy
1. When an emergency or abnormality occurs, crews will determine the
proper action by referencing procedures in the following order of priority:

1) Evacuation Placard
2) Memory Item
3) QRC
4) QRH
5) Other Items

2. During emergency or abnormal conditions, the crew must assess each


situation to determine when or if the Normal Check should be completed.
3. All procedures or checklists must be performed to their completion exactly
as written, unless changing circumstances require an alternate course of
action.
4. The Descent/Approach and Landing checklists located within the QRH
will be performed in the same manner as when performed on the normal
checklist. The PNF reads the checklist items, and the appropriate pilot(s)
will confirm visually and make the required response.
5. Upon completion of a checklist, the crewmember reading it will announce:
“_________ CHECKLIST COMPLETE.”
6. It is appropriate for the PF to assume ATC communication duties while the
PNF performs the QRH/QRC procedures.


v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 5 - Abnormal Procedures & Profiles
Crew Coordination During Emergency/Abnormal Situations

C. Crew Coordination During Emergency/Abnormal Situations


1. The crewmember detecting an existing or impending emergency or ab-
normal condition will call out the condition. A calm, deliberate approach to
adverse conditions and checklist accomplishment is required.
2. Crewmembers shall cancel any aural or visual warning as soon as the
cause of the warning is recognized. Canceling warnings is considered a
normal crew action and is not listed in the procedures. When workload
permits, the crew shall discuss the nature of the warning and the appropri-
ate action.
3. On the ground, the Captain will stop the aircraft and set the parking brake
whenever an emergency / abnormal situation arises.
4. For emergencies or abnormalities that occur below flap retraction height,
the pilot will fly the aircraft to flap retraction height, level off and accelerate
to the flap retraction speed, retract the flaps, pitch the aircraft to a noseup
attitude, start the final climb phase, and then call for the appropriate check-
list.

1) This does not negate the requirement to accomplish memory items


when appropriate.

5. For emergencies or abnormalities that occur above flap retraction height


and flap retraction speed, the pilot flying will call for the appropriate Memo-
ry Item, QRC, or QRH after fully diagnosing the emergency/abnormality.

a. Example:

1) For an engine flame-out, consider the whole scenario and request


the Single-Engine Procedure, not ENG OIL PRESS procedure.

6. The PNF will read aloud all items in the QRC / QRH, so that the PF may
monitor the progress of the checklist.

7. The flight crew will notify the Flight Attendant of an emergency using the
following means in this order of priority:

1) Use the cabin call button.


2) Turn the seatbelt sign ON and OFF 3 times to sound the chime.
3) Announce “Flight Attendant Able” over the PA.
4) Flash the emergency lights three times and leave them ON.
5) PA: “This is the Captain. We are unable to contact the Flight Atten-
dant. Someone pick up the phone by the cockpit door and press the
I/C button and talk to me.”
6) The FO looks out of viewing window and assesses the situation,
opening the door if the situation is safe.

Ground Fire/Evacuation

Ground Fire/Evacuation
A. General
1. All evacuations will be executed by performing the items on the Ground Fire /
Evacuation placard.
2. The Ground Fire/Evacuation placard need not be read aloud.
3. The Captain will execute the items on the Ground Fire / Evacuation placard.
4. In the event the Captain becomes incapacitated, the First Officer will execute
the evacuation items.

B. Crew Coordination
a. Captain’s Duties

1) Stop the aircraft and set the parking brake.


2) Communicate with the FO the decision to evacuate or not
3) If an evacuation was briefed in flight, and after landing the need to evacu-
ate is not certain, or if the aircraft has come to a rapid stop and you are
still assessing if an evacuation is necessary, make the “Standby, Standby”
PA.

(1) ln these instances, if the FA does not hear from the crew, the FA will
assume incapacitation and begin the evacuation.

4) As soon as practical, call the flight attendant on the intercom and advise
him of the situation.
5) Execute the Ground Fire / Emergency Evacuation placard if evacuating.

Crew Coordination

b. First Officer Duties

1) Notify ATC of intentions.


2) After ATC notification, take the emergency flashlight, crash axe, and/or fire
extinguisher (whichever is appropriate), go into the cabin and assess the
main cabin door for evacuation. If the main cabin door is safe for evacua-
tion, the FO will assist people out of the main cabin door and direct them
away from the aircraft. If the main cabin door is not safe for evacuation,
the FO will cross his arms, block the door and shout, “EXIT BLOCKED, GO
THE OTHER WAY”.
3) If the FA is incapacitated, the FO will lead the evacuation. When appropri-
ate, the FO will leave the aircraft and assist people off and away from the
aircraft.

c. Flight Attendant Duties and Commands

1) The FA’s primary exit on the J-41 is the aft right door. Once the aircraft
comes to its final stop, the Captain will command either EVACUATE or
STAND BY to signal the FA to begin assessment. The FA will use every
available exit during an emergency to expedite passengers out of the
aircraft.
2) Once the FA hears the command, “EVACUATE, EVACUATE, EVACUATE,”
s/he will assign an “on the spot” able bodied passenger (ABP) to block
the aisle at row 10. The FA will then assess conditions out of the window
at seat 10 C and open the aft right door.
3) The FA will shout the egress commands, “RELEASE SEATBELTS” until the
door is open, then, “RELEASE SEATBELTS, LEAVE EVERYTHING, COME
THIS WAY, SIT AND JUMP.” (If unplanned evacuation, the FA will assign
“on the spot” ABPs to assist once outside the aircraft.)
4) If the exit is blocked, the FA will stand in front of the exit and redirect pas-
sengers by shouting, “EXIT BLOCKED, GO THE OTHER WAY”, pointing
toward the over-wing exits and main cabin door.

d. Calls During an Emergency Evacuation:

1) If the cockpit crew does not want to begin the evacuation, the Captain will
command over the PA, “Standby, Standby, Standby”.
2) If the Captain determines that an evacuation is required, he will command,
“Evacuate, Evacuate, Evacuate” over the PA. Upon this command, the
flight attendant will commence the evacuation.

QRH

QRH
A. General
1. The QRH is stowed in the holder on the right side of the center console.
2. The QRH contains procedures that address aircraft malfunctions. The QRH
may also contain conditional operating procedures.
3. In most cases, the QRH does not address compound malfunctions. Crew
knowledge of aircraft systems must be utilized to prioritize multiple malfunc-
tions.
4. When a malfunction is not covered by the QRH, the crew should exercise their
best judgement in dealing with the problem.
5. The ORH is divided into three categories of procedures: Basic, In Flight and On
the Ground.

a. Basic

1) Basic procedures are QRH procedures not identified as “In Flight”


or “On the Ground”.
2) Basic procedures are written assuming the aircraft is in flight.
However, crews will also consult them on the ground.

(1) The use of Basic Procedures on the ground will aid the crew in
securing the aircraft and systems to prevent further danger or
aircraft damage.
(2) When on the ground, specific items in a Basic Procedure that do
not apply will be disregarded. For example, “land at nearest suit-
able airport.”

b. In Flight

1) In-flight procedures are designated by the title “In Flight” in a gray


box. In- flight procedures may only be used in flight.

QRH

c. On the Ground

1) On the Ground procedures are designated by the title “On the


Ground” in a gray box On the Ground procedures may only be
used on the ground.
2) Some On the Ground procedures may specify, “Ground Continue
Approved”. Ground Continue Approved means that if the pro-
cedure is successful, the flight may depart without any further
actions (e.g., No MX deferral, MX repairs, operational restrictions
are required).

(1) Ground Continue Approved procedures primarily address the


resetting of systems in an attempt to eliminate spurious faults.
(2) Ground Continue Approved procedures are the only procedures
that allow the flight to continue without MX deferral or a return to
the gate.

B. Crew Coordination
1. On the ground, the Captain will call for the QRH.
2. In flight, the PF will call for the QRH (e.g., “Left GEN QRH”). The PNF will read
the procedure.
3. The PNF will call out the particular checklist items, followed by confirma-
tion by the PF if the item requires confirmation. Checklist items that need to
be confirmed will be annotated by the word {confirm} in brackets between
the item and the position selection. These items will be confirmed by the PF
before the PNF completes the action.
4. The crew will follow the QRH until the check states ---END---. The PNF will
then state, “QRH complete” and the crew will revert to the Normal Checklist.

1) Some QRH procedures contain special checklists that will be used in


lieu of the Normal Checklist until the aircraft is safely on the ground.

B. Aborted Takeoff Profile


a. Abnormalities During Takeoff

1) The decision to abort or continue a takeoff is a matter of risk assessment.


Prior to 70 knots, the risk of an aborted takeoff is low Therefore, the deci-
sion to abort or continue a takeoff is weighted toward aborting the takeoff.
2) As the aircraft accelerates past 70 knots and approaches V1, the balance
of risk favors continuing the takeoff for all but the most serious malfunc-
tions. The malfunctions that warrant a high speed abort are limited to
smoke, fire and failures that compromise flight performance or aircraft
control.
3) If the decision to continue the takeoff is made, call “Continue”.

b. Aborted Takeoff Profile Expanded

a) Crew Coordination

(1) If the decision to abort is made, the pilot noticing will call, “Abort,
Abort”.

b) Aborting

(1) Abort the takeoff by retarding both power levers to ground idle and
into reverse as required. Brakes should be applied as required, keep-
ing the aircraft straight by using rudder and nosewheel steering.
(2) Once the aircraft slows below 70 KTS, the PNF will call, “70 Knots”.
(3) The Captain will steer using the tiller and decide if it is safe to clear the
runway.
(4) If FO is the PF, the Captain will call, “My Controls” when he takes
control with the tiller.
(5) When the Power Levers are moved out of the REV range, the Captain
will call, “Out Of Reverse, Condition Levers Taxi”.
(6) As the CA is slowing the aircraft, the First Officer will notify ATC.

(7) If it is determined that clearing the runway can be done in a normal


fashion (e.g., no loss of steering or braking, and no emergency
evacuation is required), the flight crew shall clear the runway as soon
as possible. Once clear of the active runway, the crew will address the
reason for the abort. The Captain will bring the aircraft to a full stop
before any drills are initiated.
(8) As soon as practical, the Captain will inform the FA of the situation
using the intercom.
(9) When time permits, brief the passengers lAW the AOM.

CAUTION: After a high speed, heavy weight aborted takeoff, prolonged


taxiing is not recommended as the wheels and tires may be hot.

a. Engine Failure at or After V1 Profile Expanded

a) Crew Coordination

(1) If a special departure procedure is specified for the departure runway,


the PNF will aid the PF as much as possible to ensure the proper track
is flown.
(2) When the PF is certain the proper departure course is being flown, the
PF will ask the PNF to identify and state the malfunction.
(3) While performing the QRH/QRC procedures, it is appropriate for the
PF to assume ATC communication duties.

b) Takeoff Roll

(1) Normal profile until V1.


c) Rotation
(1) 5 kts. prior to V1 the PNF states, “V1’. The PF will move his hand from
the Power Levers to the yoke.
(2) At VR, the PNF will state, Rotate”, the PF will rotate the aircraft slowly
and smoothly to the command bars (7-10 degrees nose up).
(3) A bank angle of up to 5 degrees into the operating engine can help
maintain directional control and climb performance.
d) Initial Climb

(1) At the first sign of positive rate, the PF will state, “Positive Rate, Gear
Up”. The PNF will then state, “Positive Rate” and select the gear up.
i. Positive rate is defined as vertical speed, indicating a value
greater than 0 FPM.
(2) If the PF delays his call, the PNF will state, “Positive Rate” first.
(3) If APR is not automatically activated, the PNF will press the APR
O/RIDE button.

e) V2 Climb

(1) Climb to acceleration height at V2.

i. If the FD is in use, press the TCS button when the correct pitch
for V2 is achieved to adjust the command bars to hold V2.
ii. Alternatively, if the FD is in use, the PF may call, “Indicated
airspeed”, and then press the TCS button when V2 is obtained to
capture V2 as an lAS mode on the FD.

(2) When other duties allow, the PNF will call ATC to declare the emer-
gency, briefly state initial intentions and ask them to stand by.
f) Acceleration Height
(1) The acceleration height is 400’ HAA.
(2) At acceleration height, lower the nose to approximately 5° and main-
tain a zero rate of climb. Allow the Aircraft to accelerate to VYSE.
i. PF will call, “Altitude Hold, Bug VYSE”.
ii. At VYSE, PF calls for a horizontal and vertical mode on the flight
director and for flap retraction (e.g., “Altitude Select, Indicated
Airspeed, Flaps Up.”).
iii. With ice AOA ON at V2 + 10, PF states “Flaps Up”. The PF ac-
celerates to VYSE, then calls for a horizontal and vertical mode on
the flight director such as, “Altitude Select, Indicated Airspeed.”
g) VYSE Climb
(1) At VYSE and after the flaps have been retracted, the PF will pitch the
aircraft to approximately 7° to 10° nose up and climb at VYSE and call
for the QRC procedure by stating, “ QRC”.
(2) Once the engine is shut down and the controls are trimmed, the AP
may be engaged.
(3) Until the crew is able to assure obstruction clearance by some other
means, the crew must continue to comply with the engine failure
departure procedure.

D. Engine Fire At Or After V1


1. An engine on fire may still be producing power. Consider current status of the
aircraft, including the status of the other engine before shutdown.
2. Fly a normal vertical takeoff profile until flaps are up, and then perform the
engine fire QRC.

E. Engine Failure In Cruise


a. General

1) In the event of an engine failure during high altitude cruise, the aircraft
may not be able to maintain altitude, and a descent to a lower altitude
must be expected.
2) If it is necessary to preserve altitude after the failed engine has been
secured, set 100% RPM, Max Torque/ Red Line VRL (whichever occurs
first) flows to 2 1/2 and fly at the Single Engine Enroute Climb Speed
(See Chapter X PERFORMANCE for the Single Engine Enroute Climb
Speed).
3) If altitude can not be maintained, descend at the Single-Engine Enroute
Climb Speed until the descent is arrested.

ference is points at which the aircraft is configured for landing.
2) The entire profile is reprinted here for pilot convenience.
3) Timing the selection of the landing gear and each flap setting in coordina-
tion with beginning the descent down the glide slope is critical to prevent
the aircraft from getting behind the power curve.

a. Navaid and FD Setup

a) General

(1) The J-41 is not approved to use FMS as the NAV source on final ap-
proach (from FAF to MAP inclusive). Therefore, on final it is required
to have the approach’s ground-based navaids selected, and this is
considered to be how you are navigating.

i. The J-41 may use FMS for missed approaches and holding.

b) FMS Intercept to a VHF Course

(1) LNAV should be selected in the EFlS display controller and NAV
should be armed on the Flight Director Mode Selector.
(2) Tune the approach frequency and push the V/L button once to display
the magenta-colored course needle and select the proper inbound
course for the approach.
(3) Enter the assigned intercept heading or navigation fix in the FMS.
(4) Push the NAV button on the Elight Director Mode Selector, so ARM
and CAP both illuminate on the NAV selector.
(5) When the VHF course captures, LNAV will disarm and the VHF course
will be displayed with a green needle.
(6) Fly the remainder of the approach as described by the specific profile.

c) LOC only approaches

(1) The flight director should be set to NAV mode to track the localizer. Do
not arm APR mode on the FD to fly LOC-only approaches.

d) VOR approaches

(1) The flight director should be set to APR mode to track a VOR ap-
proach. The flight director will now apply the gains appropriate for a
VOR approach.

(1) Once in heading mode, each pilot will tune the approach frequency,
set the final approach course and set the bearing pointers as required.
The PNF may be asked to identify the navaids.
b) Cleared for the Approach
(1) The PNF will turn the Taxi Light ON when cleared for the approach.
(2) When approach clearance is received and the aircraft is on a heading
to intercept the approach course (current heading within 90 degrees
of approach course), ensure the FD NAV is armed to capture the
course.
(3) The aircraft should be on published approach altitude at target speed
with the next altitude displayed in the altitude preset prior to crossing
the FAF.
c) Configuring for the Approach
(1) The initial approach should be flown at 170 KIAS.
(2) If runway conditions permit, it is recommended that the landing be
made with Flaps 15.
d) Approximately 3 to 5 miles from the FAF
(1) PF will state, ‘Flaps 9”.
e) Approaching FAF
(1) The aircraft should be configured, on Target Speed, with the next
altitude displayed in the altitude preset window and stabilized on the

g) Descent
(1) Upon crossing any fix where a descent IS to be initiated, the PF will
select ALTSEL, VS and set a vertical speed of 1000 fpm down. Higher
descent rates my be used for any portion of the descent that is above
1000’ above MDA.
(2) As the FD displays ALT, the PF will call, “Set Next Altitude.” The PNF
sets the next step-down altitude with the altitude selector and calls,
“____ Feet Set”.

i. Alternatively, the PF may call for ALT to be manually selected to


expedite the process. The call will be, “Altitude Hold, Set Next
Altitude”.

(3) At 1000 above MDA, the PNF will state, “One Thousand”.
(4) At 200 above MDA, the PNF will state, “Two Hundred”.
(5) At 100’ above MDA, the PNF will state, “One Hundred”.

i. These calls will be omitted when descending to step-down alti-


tudes other than MDA.

(6) At MDA, the PNF will call, “MDA, (time/distance) To Go”.


(7) As the FD displays ALT after reaching MDA, the PF will call, “Set
Missed Approach Altitude”.
(8) The PNF sets the missed approach altitude with the altitude selector
and calls, “____ Feet Set”.

WARNING: This procedure should not be started at a height lower than 200 ft. AGL.
If the decision to discontinue the approach has not been made by the
time ______ft this height has been reached, the aircraft is normally
committed to land.

a) Crew Coordination
(1) In the event the engine failed during the missed approach, and when
the PF is certain the proper missed approach course is being flown,
workload permitting, the PF will ask the PNF to identify and state the
exact malfunctions.
b) Initial Climb
(1) At the “Missed Approach” call, the PF will simultaneously advance
the power to max torque/EGT, press the go-around button, pitch to the
command bars and call, “Set Power, Flaps Nine”.
(2) The PNF will ensure 100% torque or VRL, whichever occurs first, is
set and then retract the flaps to 9.
(3) Immediately after flap selection, PF calls, “Positive Rate, Gear Up”. Do
not wait for an actual positive rate.
(4) The PNF will state, “Positive Rate” and retract the gear. If the PF de-
lays his call, the PNF will state, “Positive Rate” first.
(5) Climb at V2 until reaching acceleration height.
(6) A 5° bank into the operating engine can help maintain directional
control and climb performance.
c) Call ATC
(1) When workload permits, the PNF will report the Missed Approach to
ATC and state intentions.
(2) Until the aircraft is above 600’ AGL, properly configured and under
positive control, the PNF’s sole duties will be to assist the PF in con-
figuring the aircraft and obtaining ATC instructions.

d) Navigation
(1) The PNF will state the first actions of the missed approach procedure
(e.g., “Climb straight ahead to 2000’, then turn left to 210).
(2) The PF will call for a horizontal and vertical mode on the flight direc-
tor, such as “Heading, Altitude Select, Indicated Airspeed”, and fly the
missed approach procedure until the FMS or other NAVAID is ready.
(3) At 500’ AGL, the AP may be turned ON.
(4) The PNF will then begin to prepare the FMS, and other NAVAIDS as
necessary to fly the missed approach.

e) Acceleration Height
(1) The acceleration height is 400’ HAA.
(2) At acceleration height, lower the nose to approximately 5 degrees and
maintain a zero rate of climb. Allow the Aircraft to accelerate to VYSE.

i. PF will call, “Altitude Hold, Bug VYSE”.


ii. At VYSE, the PF calls for a horizontal and vertical mode on the
flight director, and for flap retraction (e g., “Altitude Select, Indi-
cated Airspeed, Flaps Up”). The PF will climb at VYSE until a safe
altitude is reached.
iii. With ice AOA ON at V2 + 10, PF states, “Flaps Up”. The PF ac-
celerates to VYSE, then calls for a horizontal and vertical mode on
the flight director, such as, “Altitude Select, Indicated Airspeed.”
The PF will climb at “Ice AOA ON” VYSE until a safe altitude is
reached.

(3) After a climb at VYSE is established, the PF will call “QRH” and the PNF
will perform the “Single-Engine Configuration” check in the QRH. If
the engine failure occurred during the missed approach, call ”QRC”.

J. Emergency Descent
1. The Emergency Descent should be initiated in the event of smoke, fumes,
explosive decompression or an uncontrollable increase in cabin altitude.

1) If the loss of cabin pressure is slow, use the CABIN HI ALT QRC/QRH
to attempt to control the cabin pressurization prior to initiating an emer-
gency descent.

2. Emergency descents must be accomplished in a prompt and timely manner,


but the policy of “Do Not Rush” still applies.
3. Especially from high altitudes, the initiation of an emergency descent must be
a deliberate and controlled maneuver to avoid overspeeding the airplane.

(1) The PNF will notify ATC of the need to accomplish an Emergency
Descent and request vectors to do so. For example: “Mayday,
Mayday, *CALLSIGN HERE* REQUIRES immediate vectors for an
Emergency Descent”.
(2) Unless there is a delay in communication with ATC, the actual de-
scent should not be started without indication from ATC it is safe
to do so. In the crowded airspace we generally operate in, there is
a real possibility of descending into another aircraft.

0. GPWS Alerts
1. GPWS alerts require an immediate and positive response by the crew with an
acknowledgement (e.g., “Correcting”, “Missed Approach” or “Windshear”),
and when required, an immediate correction by the PF.
2. In clear visual meteorological conditions when the flight crew can immediately
confirm a false GPWS warning, the warning may be disregarded.
3. ATC should be notified as soon as possible after a GPWS alert that results in a
deviation from the clearance.
4. GPWS alerts and responses:
Simultaneously call ‘Max Power”, disconnect the A/P, advance the power
levers fully forward and pitch 15° nose up or until stickshaker, whichever oc-
curs first.

R. Stalls
a. Stall Recovery

1) The hierarchy of stall recovery:


(1) Maintain aircraft control
(2) Minimization of altitude loss
(3) Recovery of airspeed

2) All stall recoveries use the same procedures and calls, regardless of cur-
rent aircraft configuration. The PF will make all flap calls, even if the flaps
are UP. If the flaps are in a position less than what was called, the PNF will
disregard the flap call.
3) At the first indication of a stall, simultaneously apply maximum power,
pitch to 8° up and call, “Max Power Flaps 9°”.
4) Adjust pitch to maintain at or just above stickshaker until the altitude
begins to increase.
5) When a positive rate of climb is established, the PF will state, “Positive
rate, Gear Up”. PNF will verify a positive rate of climb and call,
“Positive Rate” and select gear UP.

(1) If the PF delays his positive rate call, the PNF will call, “Positive
Rate” first.

6) At VYSE and above acceleration height, the PF will call, “Flaps Up”.
7) Resume normal flight.

b. Demonstrating Stall Recovery Procedures

1) The purpose of demonstrating stall recovery is to prove mastery of air-


craft control through a full range of airspeed and configuration changes.
(1) When training and checking stalls, the demonstration is considered
complete when the aircraft has returned to stable flight at the altitude
and airspeed at which it began.

2) Entries and recoveries will be performed as described below:

(1) PF begins the maneuver at 170 knots and calls “Maneuvering


Check”. PNF performs the maneuvering check items.

i. Set 100% RPM.


ii. Brief the stall speed.

(2) Reduce power to 20% torque for the Landing Configuration Stall and
10% for all other stalls.
(3) Configure the airplane:

i. Cruise Configuration Stall — Gear and Flaps Up.


ii. Takeoff Configuration Stall — Flaps 9, enter a 15° bank at
120 knots.
iii. Landing Configuration Stall — Gear Down, Flaps 25.

(4) Once the aircraft slows to 120 kts, stop elevator trim inputs.
(5) At the first indication of a stall, simultaneously apply full power, pitch
to 8°, level the wings and call, “Max Power Flaps 90°”.
(6) When a positive rate of climb is established the PF will state, “Posi-
tive rate, Gear Up”.
(7) PNF “Positive Rate” - PNF will confirm a positive rate of climb, then
retract the landing gear.
(8) At acceleration height and VYSE:

i. PF: “Flaps Up, Climb power” — PNF retracts flaps and ensures
the power is set within EGT and Torque limits.
ii. Allow aircraft to accelerate to climb speed.
(9) At 140 kts. the PF calls, “Cruise Power”.

Cold Weather Operations

Cold Weather Operations


A. General
1. This chapter contains procedures, guidance and data to aid flight crews
dealing with:

1) The winter season presents additional problems to airplane opera-


tions resulting from low temperatures, and the potentially hazardous
effects of precipitation and contamination on the airplane and aircraft
movement areas.
2) Cold weather operations refer to ground handling, takeoffs and
landings conducted on surface conditions where frozen moisture is
present. These conditions are commonly encountered when the sur-
face temperature is at or below 0°C, although frozen moisture may
be present and persist for a significant time at higher temperatures.

B. Preflight
1. In addition to the normal preflight actions, look for the following items:

1) Winterization kit removed.


2) Water drains in the pressurized fuselage are clear.
3) Static vents have no frost, snow, or ice.
4) Pitot heads have no frost, snow and ice.
5) Water drains in the tailcone are not blocked.
6) Ensure the engines are clear of ice and snow. Do not start an engine if
there is ice on the propeller, air inlet, spinner, or damage could result.
7) For the landing gear and the landing gear bays, make sure:

(1) The uplock and downlock mechanisms and gear microswitch as-
semblies are free of ice and snow.
(2) Wheel brakes are clean and are free of ice and snow.
(3) Landing gear legs and bay are clean and are free of ice and snow.


v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 6 - Non-Routine Procedures
Cold Weather Operations

8) Closely inspect the condition of the deice boots and propeller deice mats.
9) The ice observation lights should operate for night operations.

C. Deicing Procedures
1. See Ground Deicing and Anti-Icing Procedures for the most current general
procedures.

a) Deicing preparation

1) Before fluid is applied:


a) FMS Close out page ........... Select Deice - YES
b) Engines ............................. Shutdown
c) Battery Voltage .................. Monitor
b) Post Deicing Procedures:

a) Turn Check ............................... Complete

(1) Resume normal operations beginning with the Turn Check.


(2) Delay turning the flows ON until clear of the glycol area to avoid
ingesting glycol fumes into the cabin.
(3) Do not single-engine taxi in icing conditions.

D. Ground Operations
1. During ground operations in icing conditions, it is very important to use the ic-
ing protection. If the OAT is 5°C or less, the igniters will be turned on, followed
by the engine/elevator heat, then the propeller heat. Propeller and Engine/El-
evator anti- icing must be switched OFF on the ground when the applicable
engine is not running.
2. Extreme care should be taken during ground operations in the vicinity of heavy
snow accumulations (snow berms, etc.), due to a propeller clearance of only
13 inches.


v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 6 - Non-Routine Procedures
Cold Weather Operations

a) Taxiing

1) Taxi speed should be minimized when standing water or slush is to


be encountered. Liquid displaced by the nosewheel could be ingest-
ed by an engine and cause a flameout.
2) If an engine flameout does occur, do not attempt a relight during the
rundown. Use the following procedure for relight:

CONDITION LEVER (Affected Engine) FEATHER/SHUTOFF


When the engine has stopped

CONDITION LEVER TAXI


When the engine has stopped

PROPELLER RETURN TO START LOCK


NORMAL START PROCEDURES ACCOMPLISH

E. Takeoff
1. Takeoffs in Icing conditions require that the engine/elevator heat and propeller
heat be ON, flows OFF, APR armed and ignition CONTINUOUS.
2. For performance considerations, see Chapter 6. DO NOT take off with any
deposits of snow, ice, or slush adhering to the airframe.
3. “Takeoff in Icing” speeds will be set for takeoff.
4. If Type II and or Type IV fluids are used, the following is required:

1) Aircraft must use ICE ON speeds for V1, VR, V2 and VYSE, irrespective of
ambient conditions.
2) This means that whenever the aircraft is de/anti-iced with Type II or IV
fluids, you must use the icing ON speeds during takeoff even when the
weather is clear and environmental conditions would not warrant the use
of icing speeds.

5. After the application of Type II or IV fluid, control movement remains normal,


but control forces required for rotation or takeoff may be higher than normal.


v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 6 - Non-Routine Procedures
Cold Weather Operations

F. Flight
1. See Chapter 3 for definition of icing conditions in the air.
2. With the Engine/Elevator heat selected on, the lcing/AOA light will come
on once the aircraft accelerates through 145 kts, adjusting the Low Speed
Awareness tape upwards. You will note a decrease in performance with the
engine elevator heat selected ON.
3. During flight in icing conditions, monitor the aircraft for ice accumulation. The
ICE DETECT light is a good indication that the aircraft is accumulating ice on
some parts of the airframe.
4. Ice accumulates on the sharpest leading edges first Use the windshield wipers
and the wings to get an idea of the rate of accumulation. Fly at altitudes that
minimize icing conditions.
5. Periodically disconnect the autopilot, and gently exercise the flying controls in
all 3 axes to ensure that no hinge freezing has occurred.
6. Because of the location of the horizontal stabilizer, it is possible for the tail to
accrete ice at a higher rate than the wings.
a. Turning ice protection ON in flight
1) When using ice protection, it is good a practice to turn it on in the
following sequence:
(1) Continuous Ignition - ON
(2) L Eng / EIev anti-ice and L PROP heat - ON
(3) R Eng / Elev anti-ice and R PROP heat - ON

b. Operating airframe deice


1) The greatest degradation in aerodynamic characteristics occurs
during formation of the first 0.5 in. to 0.75 in. thickness of ice. When
operating airframe deice, use this procedure:

(1) Use the .5 in. ice depth fence to judge the thickness of ice on the
wings. Optimum thickness for ice shedding will vary according
to the nature of the ice, but a depth of at least 0.25 in. to 0.5 in.
should be allowed to accumulate on the wings before the boots
are operated.

c. Turning OFF Engine/Elevator Anti-Ice and ICE AOA


1) Upon leaving icing conditions with no further icing expected and
when the engines and propellers are clear of ice accretion:

(1) PROPELLER ICE PROTECTION switches select OFF.


(2) ENG/ELEV ICE PROTECTION switches select OFF.
(3) IGNITION switches select NORMAL.
2) When the airframe is observed to be clear of ice accretion on both
protected and unprotected parts:

(1) Operate ICING AOA CANCEL switch.


(2) Confirm the [ICING AOA] caption goes off.

G. Inadvertent Flight In Severe Icing Conditions


1. It has been determined that it is possible for aircraft to encounter icing condi-
tions that are greater than the aircraft was originally designed for. The purpose
of the AD is to minimize the potential hazards associated with operating the
airplane in severe icing conditions, by providing more clearly defined proce-
dures and limitations associated with such conditions.
WARNING: Severe icing may result from environmental conditions outside those for
which the airplane is certified. Flight in freezing rain, freezing drizzle,
or mixed Icing conditions (super-cooled liquid water and ice crystals)
may result in ice build-up on protected surfaces, exceeding the capabil-
ity 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.

a. Detection
1) During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed those for which the
airplane is certificated shall be determined by the following visual
clues. If one or more of these visual clues exist, immediately request
priority handling from Air Traffic Control to facilitate a route or an
altitude change to exit the icing conditions.

(1) Unusually extensive ice accreted on the airframe in areas not


normally observed to collect ice.
(2) Accumulation of ice on the upper surface of the wing, aft of the
protected area.
(3) Accumulation of ice on the propeller spinner, farther aft than
normally observed.
2) The following weather conditions may be conducive to severe in-flight
icing:
(1) Visible rain at temperatures below 0° C ambient air temperature.
(2) Droplets that splash or splatter on impact at temperatures below
0°C ambient air temperature.

v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 6 - Non-Routine Procedures
Cold Weather Operations

b. Operation

1) Since the autopilot may mask tactile cues that indicate adverse
changes in handling characteristics, use of the autopilot 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.
2) All icing detection lights must be operative prior to flight into icing
conditions at night.
NOTE: This supersedes any relief provided by the Master Minimum Equip-
ment List (MMEL).

c. Exiting

1) These procedures are applicable to all flight phases from takeoff to


landing. Monitor the ambient air temperature. While severe icing may
form at temperatures as cold as -18°C, increased vigilance is war-
ranted around freezing with visible moisture present. If the visual cues
specified previously, or as specified in the Limitations Section of the
AFM for identity of severe icing conditions, are observed, accomplish
the following:

(1) Immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic Control to


facilitate a route or an altitude change to exit the severe icing
conditions, in order to avoid extended exposure to flight condi-
tions more severe than those for which the airplane has been
certificated.
(2) Avoid abrupt and excessive maneuvering that may exacerbate
control difficulties.
(3) Do not engage the autopilot.
(4) If the autopilot is engaged, hold the control wheel firmly and
disengage the autopilot.
(5) If an unusual roll response or uncommanded roll control move-
ment is observed, reduce the angle-of-attack.

10
v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 6 - Non-Routine Procedures
Cold Weather Operations

(6) Do not extend flaps during extended operation in icing conditions.


Operations with flaps extended can result in a reduced wing angle
of attack, with the possibility of ice forming on the upper surface
further aft on the wing than normal, possibly aft of the protected
area
(7) If the flaps are extended, do not retract them until the airframe is
clear of ice.
(8) Report these weather conditions to Air Traffic Control and Dis-
patch.

H. Landing
1. Landing in icing conditions requires the use of “lcing/AOA On” speeds.

(1) Magenta - “Ice AOA ON”, Target “lce/AOA on” VYSE


(2) White - “Ice AOA ON”, V2 “Ice/AOA on” V2
(3) Blue - “Ice AOA ON”, VREF “Ice/AOA on” VREF flaps 15° or 25°
(4) Green - “Ice AOA ON”, VYSE

a. Flaps

(1) Normal landings with all deicing systems operational are flaps
25°. If ice is still adhering to the wings, 15° flaps is recommend-
ed. If airframe deicing is inoperative, 15° flaps is the maximum
authorized flap setting.
(2) High landing weights can result in the flap 25 target speed being
very close to the 140 knot, flap 25 limitation It is recommended
that a flap 15 approach be flown to widen the gap between target
and the flap 15 speed limitation. Airport Analysis should be
checked for maximum flap 15 landing weight.

NOTE: Performance data must be considered for flaps 15° landing.

2. “lce/AOA on” VREF lcing/AOA on + 15 (Target Speed).

Chapter 6 - Non-Routine Procedures
Cold Weather Operations

3. Airframe deicing systems must be switched off below 200 ft. AGL on the ap-
proach to landing.
4. For landing in icing conditions, consider landing performance-reducing fac-
tors, such as slippery runways, poor braking issues and crosswinds. Effective
use of reverse and care on high-speed turnoffs should also be considered.

I. Post Flight
1. Winterization kits must be installed lAW the AOM The following items of the
winterization kit must be installed when conditions require:

1) Pitot / TAT probe covers.


2) AOA vane covers.
3) Static vent plugs.
4) Engine and oil cooler intake bungs.
5) Engine exhaust covers.
6) CAU (ECS) exhaust bungs.

2. The water system for the toilet compartment must be drained, and freezable
fluids removed from the galley if the aircraft is to be parked in freezing condi-
tions.

3. In addition to a normal post flight, pay particular attention to:

1) Compressor blades for possible ice damage.


2) Condition of deice boots.
3) Contaminants on wheels, wheel wells and microswitches.
4) Ice observation lights for night operations.

4. Type IV deicing fluids may dry out in aerodynamically quiet areas and then
rehydrate and freeze on subsequent flights. Check in the aileron and flap gaps
and seals for any evidence of dried fluid buildup. If any buildup is found, it
must be removed by washing with hot water or type I fluid.

Hot Weather Operations

Hot Weather Operations


A. General
1. Extreme high temperatures present problems to aircraft operations of a dif-
ferent nature than those associated with cold weather operations. The most
notable concern is the significant decrease in aircraft performance, with
flight crew and passenger comfort also as a concern.
B. Ramp Operations
1. The crew should make every effort to reduce the heat buildup within the
cockpit and cabin by using the following:
1) Prior to boarding, use a cold air unit to cool the cabin.
(1) The ONLY correct placement of the cooling unit hose is through the
main cabin entry door. Any other placement of the cooling hose is
unsatisfactory, as it exposes the aircraft to risk of damage.
2) If ground power is available, use the vapor cycle machine in between
flights to keep the cabin cool.
(1) If no GPU is available or the vapor cycle machine is deferred, coordi-
nate with ramp to run the engine driven ECS to cool the cabin prior to
boarding.
3) Turn OFF any unnecessary avionics and lights.
4) Use the window shades and cockpit sun shields to limit solar heating.
2. Before departing, see Chapter 6 for performance considerations related to
maximum landing weight and go-around climb limitations at the destina-
tion.
C. Taxi
1. Due to high temperatures within the cabin, it may be required to taxi with both
engines running. Use the vapor cycle machine as necessary.
2. Oil temperatures may rise quickly when facing downwind. It is preferable to
turn into the wind, if possible, to allow air to move across the oil cooler. Ad-
ditional engine cooling may be achieved by adding a small amount of power
using the Power Levers. This should move air across the oil cooler.

D. Takeoff
1. See Chapter 7 for performance considerations related to the use of flows for
takeoff.
2. The use of 100% RPM during climb out may be used if required for climb
performance considerations.

E. Landing
1. The touchdown zone may be slick due to heavy deposits of rubber and oil that
can melt in hot weather. Hydroplaning is a possibility even though the runway
appears dry.

FMS Inoperative

FMS Inoperative
A. General
1. The J-41 FMS provides two distinct functions, navigation/flight planning and
communication Either one or both of these functions can be inoperative.
2. Flight with the FMS inoperative places additional work on flight crews, such
as manual navigating and communicating, special coordinating with air traffic
control and increased flight planning responsibilities. To ensure these addition-
al requirements, flight crews should review and brief this section accordingly.

B. Navigation/Flight Planning Inop


1. The dispatch release should have the proper suffix on flight plan For example:

1) /A for non-RNAV aircraft


2) /G for RNAV-equipped aircraft with a functional GPS
3) /I for RNAV-equipped aircraft with no operable GPS

2. Prior to dispatch, review the dispatch release against charts to verify the filed
routing does not require RNAV.
3. ATC expects we are RNAV-equipped since that is the norm. Since you will not
be RNAV-equipped, check that you can comply with your clearance.
4. Departure and arrival procedures should be either vector or pilot nay. Be sure
that you do not file or get assigned an RNAV procedure.
5. Plan ahead in order to check for navigation compliance. Example: fix identifi-
cation with crossing radials, DME distances, or station passage.
6. Observe and comply with airway dimensions, radials, fixes, and changeover
points.
7. Tune and identify navaids manually.
8. Plan ahead for holding patterns, as manual procedures will have to be used
for entry, holding, and exit.
9. Watch your speeds in holding and below 10000; the FMS will not be available
to remind you if you are fast.

10. While enroute, manually calculate ETAs and advise ATC and Dispatch lAW
the AOM.
11. While enroute, manually calculate landing fuel and advise Dispatch if neces-
sary.
12. The FMS will not be available for descent planning, so review the 3 to 1 rule
(300/NM).

C. Communication Inop
1. Where PDCs are available, call clearance delivery and advise them that you
are negative PDC.
2. Monitor appropriate VHF frequencies for communications with the company.
3. Call in the 000I times lAW the AOM.

Pressurization
A. Unpressurized Flight
1. In accordance with the MEL, the J-41 can be dispatched with the pressuriza-
tion system inoperative. The guidance below is given to ensure that unpres-
surized flight is accomplished safely.
a. Pre-departure

1) Ensure that the fuel loading is adequate for operation at the chosen
altitude.
2) On the pressurization control panel, select the DUMP switch to ON.
(The DUMP switch must remain ON throughout the flight.)
3) Rotate the pressurization manual control selector to UP.
4) Select the flow selectors and air conditioning controls as per normal
operation to maintain the cabin ventilation.
b. Climb and cruise
1) Do not exceed 10,000 ft. pressure altitude for more than 30 minutes
and do not exceed 12,000 ft. pressure altitude. Above 10,000 ft. for
more than 30 minutes, the crew must use oxygen.
2) Ensure that adequate terrain clearance can be maintained at the
chosen altitude.
3) Limit the rate of climb to suit passenger comfort. However, Airport
Analysis requires that the aircraft climb at normal profile speeds and
rates until 1500’ AGL and as described in the DP as applicable to
ensure obstacle clearance is achieved.

c. Descent and landing


1) Limit the rate of descent to suit passenger comfort.

B. Manual Pressurization
1. In accordance with the MEL, the J-41 can be dispatched with the auto pres-
surization system inoperative. The guidance below is given for manually
pressurized flight.
a. Pre-departure

1) Set the AUTO/MAN switch to MAN on the cabin pressure controller.


2) Rotate the pressurization manual control selector to UP.

b. Climb and cruise

1) Slowly and carefully adjust the cabin pressurization UP/DN control to


a comfortable climb rate.
2) When the desired cabin altitude is reached, set the manual UP I DN
control to a zero rate of change on the rate of climb indicator.
3) Do not let the cabin exceed maximum differential pressure. The Pres-
sure Differential Table on the next page indicates maximum differential
pressures for each altitude.
c. Descent and landing

1) Use the QRH Manual Pressurization Control Descent/Approach and


Landing checks in place of the Normal Descent/Approach and Land-
ing checks.
2) Monitor cabin altitude to ensure the cabin is pressurized to 1000’
above landing elevation.

C. Cabin Differential Pressure Table


1. Table is to be used when operating under a (Cabin Altitude Indicator inop.)
MEL or a (Differential Pressure Indicator inop.) MEL to ensure the cabin dif-
ferential limit (5.7 PSID) is not exceeded.
2. To determine the pressure differential, follow the correct aircraft altitude row
until it meets the correct cabin altitude column.

General

1. General
The Jetstream Series 4100 aircraft (Jetstream 41) is a derivative of the 18/19 seat
Jetstream 3200 commuter airliner (Jetstream Super 31). It has accommodation for
up to thirty passengers and baggage, and a crew of three or four. The Jetstream 41
is capable of worldwide day and night operations.

The aircraft is a low wing monoplane. It has a predominantly metal stressed skin
construction, with cantilever wings and tail. It has retractable tricycle landing gear
with and dual manual flight controls with stall protection. The aircraft’s electrical
power system is predominantly dc, with ac provided for the avionics and instru-
ments. A hydraulic power system is provided for operation of the wing flaps,
ground spoilers, landing gear, wheel-brakes, nose wheel steering and the stick
pusher.

The Jetstream 41 is powered by two Garret TPE 331-14 turbo-prop engines. The
left engine is a -14 GR which turns a McCauley five bladed propeller clockwise
(CW) when viewed from the rear. The right engine is a -14 HR which turns the
propeller counter-clockwise (CCW) when viewed from the rear.

A. Accommodation

1. Passenger Cabin:

The passenger cabin is designed to seat up to thirty passengers with toilet and
baggage facilities. The passenger seating is arranged with ten double seats on
the right side and ten single seats on the left side of the cabin.

A cabin attendant seat and attendant panel are provided in the rear vestibule area.

2. Flight Deck:

The flight deck is designed for operation by two crew members. There is a jump
seat available at the rear of the flight deck for a flight observer.


v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.1 - Aircraft General
General

3. Baggage Accommodation:

Stowage areas for baggage are provided at the front of the passenger cabin, in
the rear baggage compartment and in an unpressurized ventral baggage pod.
Access to the rear baggage compartment is through a door in the rear left side of
the aircraft.

B. Fuselage

The fuselage is manufactured from aluminium alloy. The skin line with propel-
ler rotation is reinforced to give protection against ice shed from the propeller
blades.

The forward fuselage includes a forward pressure bulkhead, canopy and wind-
shield. The rear pressure bulkhead is aft of the rear baggage bay.

The main entrance door is located at the forward left side of the fuselage. The
main baggage door is located at the rear left side of the fuselage. Emergency
escape hatches are installed each side of the fuselage above the wing.

C. Stabilizers

The tail group (empennage) consists of a vertical stabilizer, on which a rudder is


mounted, as well as a horizontal stabilizer with split elevators and fairings. The
leading edges of the vertical and horizontal stabilizers are fitted with pneumati-
cally operated de-icing boots.

Vortex generators are bonded to the port and starboard surfaces of the vertical
stabilizer to improve the airflow over the stabilizer and the rudder.

D. Wings

The wings consists of two semi-spans spliced at the fuselage centre line to form
a 60ft 5.3in wing span assembly, with a wing dihedral angle of 7 deg. The wings
are connected to the fuselage by links bolted to fittings mounted on the front and
rear spar frames. The structural box of each semi-span forms an integral fuel
tank.

General

D. Wings (continued...)

A fuel standby pump is installed in the bottom of each wing near the lowest point.
A NACA vent is located at the fuel vent tank in the outboard section of the wing.
The fuel filler cap is located near the wing tip on the top surface, to provide grav-
ity refuelling if pressure refuelling is not available.

The leading edge of the wing has pneumatically operated de-icing boots fitted.

Vortex generators are bonded to the top skin of the port and starboard wings to
improve inner wing flow and flow over the aileron.

A manually controlled aileron is mounted on the outboard section of the rear wing
spar and a hydraulically operated flap on the inboard section. A hydraulically
operated ground spoiler is fitted to the upper inboard wing surface.

2. CAP

a. Captions

Caption annunciators installed in the CAP are as specified in the relevant


chapters of this document.

b. Attention Getters (Master Warning and Master Caution)

Red or amber attention-getter lights flash and a dedicated aural warning


sounds to alert the crew to a system malfunction. The red and amber atten-
tion-getter lights are installed on the coaming panel.

The attention-getter lights are push-to-cancel. To cancel the attention-getter,


and the associated single or triple chimes, push the applicable light. When
the red attention-getter light is pushed, it will also cancel the fire warning
bell (if the fire warning system is in operation).

c. Dimming

The CAP has a facility to dim the intensity of the CAP captions. Dimming
is controlled through the DIM switch which is located in the center of and
just below the CAP. All remote captions and indicators on the flight deck are
dimmed when the DIM switch on the CAP is adjusted.

NOTE:
The red and amber attention-getters cannot be dimmed.

The relevant red or amber caption will illuminate at maximum intensity


when activated by a system. Any dimmed caption of the same colour will
also revert to maximum intensity.

d. Test

The CAP has a press-to-TEST button. This permits all the filaments of the
CAP captions, attention-getter lights, remote captions and lights and the
audio warning to be tested.

e. Mute/Unmute

The CAP has a warning mute facility. This facility is used to inhibit nuisance
warnings which may occur when the aircraft is on the ground.

The mute facility is activated by the MUTE/UNMUTE switch and will only
activate when the aircraft is on the ground. The mute facility will de-activate
when either the MUTE/UNMUTE switch is pressed again or the aircraft
takes off. During landing the mute facility will always be de-activated,
regardless of its previous state.

Operating the mute facility will:

1. Inhibit all amber CAP caption outputs to the amber attention-getter and
the associated single chime.

2. Inhibit the following red CAP caption outputs to the red attention-getter
and the associated triple chime:

a. L OIL PRESS, R OIL PRESS, and ELECT

NOTE: All other red CAP captions, their associated red attention-getter
and audio outputs will NOT be inhibited.

3. Illuminate the applicable CAP caption at the preselected intensity.

4. Illuminate the indicator adjacent to the MUTE/UNMUTE switch.

3. Remote Caption Indicators

Remote caption indicators provide caption annunciations located adjacent to


operating control or indicators. These are specified in the relevant chapters of
this document.

C. Aural

Aural annunciation provides the audio alert for warning and caution conditions.

1. Audio Warning System (AWS)

The AWS supplies an audio tone input to the pilots’ headsets and flight deck
loudspeakers.

The audio warnings are generated from the appropriate systems warning
and caution signals. If a RED caption comes on it is accompanied by a triple
chime. An AMBER caption is accompanied by a single chime.

NOTE:
The audio warning is repeated every 5 seconds until cancelled by pressing the
appropriate attention-getter.

D. Tactile (not modeled)

Tactile annunciation of stall warning is provided by the stick shaker. Stick shaker
sound will be audible in simulator in the event of a stall.

E. Take Off Configuration Warning System (TOCWS)

The TOCWS is designed to warn the crew when selected aircraft controls or fly-
ing surfaces are in a position that will not allow for a safe take-off.

TOCWS automatically activates the visual and aural warnings if any of the follow-
ing conditions are present during the take-off roll:

- Either condition lever is set to below the maximum take-off setting.


- Either spoiler is not fully retracted
- The spoiler control switch is set to OFF
- The elevator trim position is not within the take-off range
- The parking brake is not released.
- A take-off flap setting has not been selected or achieved
- The gust lock control handle is not in the disengaged position

The warnings will stop if any of the following conditions are met:

- The configuration is changed to allow for a safe take-off


- Both power levers are reduced below the minimum take-off power setting
(take-off abandoned)
- The aircraft is rotated so that the nosewheel leaves the ground
- Electrical power failure occurs

1. TOCWS Power Supplies

The TOCWS system is fully functional whenever the 28v dc Left Essential
Busbar is powered.

2. TOCWS Indication

If the selected aircraft controls or flying surfaces are in a position that will not
allow a safe take-off, a horn sounds intermittently and a red CAP CONFIG
caption illuminates.

3. Take-Off Configuration Test Switch (TOCTS)

The TOCTS is installed on the right instrument panel and enables all TOCW
parameters to be tested prior to advancing the power levers.

The condition lever input signal to the TOCWA is inhibited while the TOCTS is
selected. This enables the TOCWS test function when maneuvering the aircraft
to the runway for a take-off

Chapter 8.2 - Flying Controls
Flying Controls

1. Flying Controls

A. General

The primary flying controls consist of manually operated ailerons, elevators and
rudder. A conventional control column and adjustable rudder pedals at each
pilot’s position operate the control surfaces by cable and lever systems.

Secondary control is provided by the aileron, elevator and rudder trim systems.

A gust lock system is also provided. The wing flap and spoiler system are de-
scribed in Chapter 9 (Hydraulics System).

The elevator and aileron primary control circuits are duplicated so that in the
event of a primary control disconnection, half the primary control will be avail-
able plus the trim circuits.

Adjustment of the geared tabs is by cable and chain driven non-reversable


screw jacks. All tabs are connected to their jacks with dual rods to avoid flutter if
a rod becomes disconnected.

B. Ailerons and Aileron Trim

Ailerons: Two separate cable and rod systems connect the two control hand
wheels to the opposite ailerons. The two systems act together to provide dif-
ferential aileron movement. This is achieved by interconnecting the two systems
with a push rod.

The cable systems are seperated in the fuselage and terminate at operating
quadrants on the wing rear spar. A system of push rods along the rear spar con-
nect the quadrants to the ailerons. Each system has fixed stops at the control
surface and adjustable stops at the control column.

The chain and sprocket mechanisms are totally enclosed within the control col-
umns to prevent damage by foreign objects. All other mechanisms in the flight
deck and cabin are covered by secured floor panels.


v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.2 - Flying Controls
Flying Controls

B. Ailerons and Aileron Trim (continued...)

The interconnecting push rod between the two control columns is fitted with a
disconnect device which is normally engaged. If the aileron system fails to move
freely or does not operate within limits, the disconnect device is operated by a
pull handgrip on the center console. Operating the disconnect device separates
the two cable and rod systems of the aileron, making control available through
half the aileron system.

Once operated, the disconnect device cannot be reset without maintenance ac-
tion on the ground.

Aileron Trim: A geared balance tab mechanism is fitted on the left aileron, con-
nected to the wing structure through a dual load path non-reversable screw jack.

The screw jack is controlled through chain and sprocket, and cable and pulley
systems from a hand wheel at the rear of the center console.

A trim position indicator is provided on the centre console.

C. Elevators and Elevator Trim

Elevators: Two separate cable and rod systems connect the two floor mounted
control systems to their respective elevator. The two control systems act to-
gether because the columns are mounted on a common torque tube.

The cable systems are seperated in the fuselage and terminate at an operating
quadrant at the base of the vertical stabiliser. Separate systems connect push
rods to their associated elevator torque tubes. Each system is fitted with primary
stops at the control surface and secondary stops at the control columns.

The two aft quadrants are spring loaded to give an elevator down bias. In flight
the spring loads are balanced by trim application.

The torque tube between the control columns is fitted with a disconnect device
which is normally engaged.

Flying Controls

C. Elevators and Elevator Trim (continued...)

If the elevator system fails to move freely or does not operate within limits, the
disconnect device is operated by a pull hand grip on the center console. Oper-
ating the clutch separates the two cable and rod systems of the elevator and
allows control of one elevator and trim to be maintained.

Once operated, the disconnect device cannot be reset without maintenance ac-
tion on the ground.

Elevator Trim: Geared trim tabs are fitted to each elevator. Dual load path trim
screw jacks are controlled by chain and sprocket and cable and pulley systems
from handwheels on each side of the centre console.

A trim position indicator, with the take-off setting clearly marked, is provided on
the centre console.

D. Rudder and Rudder Trim

Rudder: A cable system connects the output from both sets of floor mounted
rudder pedals to the rudder drive quadrant at the base of the rudder post.

In the event of a single cable system becoming disconnected in the duplicated


part of the system, the remaining part of the system gives 100% control.

In the event of a cable becoming disconnected other than in the duplicated part
of the system, aircraft control is by use of trim and ailerons.

If the rudder is jammed, aircraft control can be maintained by using the ailerons
and differential engine power.

Rudder Trim: The rudder trim system is controlled from a handwheel at the rear
of the centre console, through a chain and sprocket, and, a cable and pulley
system.

A trim position indicator is provided on the centre console.

Flying Controls

E. Failure Protection

The aileron and elevator primary control systems are provided with disconnect
devices to protect the aircraft against failure of either system. When activated,
in the event of a primary control restriction, the functioning half of the relevant
system continues to operate. Maintenance action, on the ground, is required to
reset an activated disconnect device.

The rudder remains fixed if it becomes jammed. Compensation for yaw can be
achieved by the use of the ailerons and differential engine power.

The decoupling handles for the elevator and aileron control systems are on the
lower centre panel and are marked PITCH and ROLL respectively. The handles
are pulled outwards to arm the system, and twisted clockwise to decouple either
control system.

If either handle is pulled out but not turned clockwise, it can be pushed back
(forward) and the system will be de-armed.
CONT
When a decoupling action has taken place, a CAP DISC
(amber) caption will
illuminate on the CAP.

The system ensures that no single failure will prevent continued safe flight and
landing. The aileron and elevator primary control circuits are duplicated. Half the
primary circuit and full trimming are still available following a disconnection. The
aileron surfaces are protected against up-float to allow the remaining aileron to
be fully effective. Although the rudder primary control is not duplicated, the trim
circuit is still available if the rudder jams.

F. Gust Locks

Internal mechanical locks are provided for each primary control circuit. The
aileron lock is located on the flight deck. The elevator lock is located in the rear
equipment bay. The rudder lock is located in the base of the rudder.

The gust lock system is connected to a control lever mounted on the right side
of the centre console. The lever position indicates the position of the locks. With
the lock IN, the lever is clearly visible to both pilots.

Each lock is spring loaded to the OUT position and can be withdrawn by gravity,
as an additional safeguard, after the gust lock lever has been set to the
UNLOCKED position.

A mechanical interlock provides a baulk to prevent simultaneous advancement


of the power levers into the POWER range unless the control locks are fully out.
This interlock also prevents selection of the control locks to the LOCK position
with both POWER levers in the flight range.

Stall Warning and Protection

2. Stall Warning and Protection

A. General

The stall warning and protection system consists of two analogue signal proces-
sors, two angle-of-attack (AOA) sensors, two stick shakers operating on the
control columns and a stick push acting on the left-elevator operating quadrant.
These form two independent identical systems, left and right, each monitoring
airflow angle and providing warnings to the crew.

B. Angle of Attack (AOA) Sensor

The AOA sensors are mounted symmetrically on either side of the fuselage.
Each AOA sensor provides local airflow angle and sends the information to both
signal processors. The BITE in the processors cross monitor the AOA sensors.

The AOA sensors have integral vane and case heaters to prevent icing and
condensation.

C. Signal Processor

The signal processors are installed under the flight deck floor.

The signal processors get input from both AOA indicators and a fault warning is
given if the local airflow angles differ by more than 6 degrees. The local airflow
angle is then compared with a preset value dependent on the aircraft configura-
tion. If the airflow angle exceeds the preset value (equivalent to the local angle
at 1.07 Vs) a stall shaker warning output is generated which operates the stick
shaker, providing audible and tactile warnings to the crew.
NOTE: When either the left or right stall warning system detects a stall condition, a
stick shaker slave-relay in the autopilot system is energised. This activates the
GPWS audio suppression circuit, which disconnects the autopilot and inhibits
the GPWS audio call-outs.
If the airflow angle exceeds a second preset value (equivalent to the local angle
at Vs), a stall ident/stick push function is generated. This provides a visual warn-
ing (STALL caption on coaming panel for each processor) and a stick push to 8°
elevator down position.

Stall Warning and Protection

C. Signal Processor (continued...)

Each signal processor has a 0.5 ‘g’ switch which disables the stick push func-
tion when the aircraft experiences a negative vertical acceleration increment of
0.5 ‘g’ or greater. This prevents excessive pitch rates in the landing flap configu-
ration.

Inputs from the weight-on-wheels (WOW) switches disable the system on the
ground. A time delay disables the system until three seconds after take-off.

The stick push function is disabled if either pilot presses one of the four il-
luminated switch indicators mounted on the coaming panel. Stall warning will
continue to operate but the stall identification/stick push system cannot be reset
until the aircraft is on the ground. The reset switch, on the flight deck mainte-
nance test panel, is not accessible to the pilots.

When the stick push is disabled, the stall identification light on the coaming
panel goes out and the CAP L STALL or R STALL caption comes on

(dependent on which stall identification output from the signal processor has
been disabled).

D. Power Supplies

The left signal processor is powered from the 28v DC left essential busbar and
the right processor from the 28v DC right essential busbar.

E. Flight Data Acquisition Unit (FDAU)

Both signal processors send data of local airflow angle to the FDAU.

F. BITE (Built-In Test Equipment)

The signal processor contains the following BITE:

- AOA sensor signal failure


- AOA sensor heater failure
- Flap input invalid
- Power supply failure
- Comparator valid

If a failure is detected the CAP L STALL and R STALL (amber) captions come
on.

G. Self Test

Each signal processor and its associated AOA sensor can be tested by spring-
loaded switches on the systems test panel of the right side console. Labelled
L STALL and R STALL the switches induce stick shaker and audio indications
through the signal processor. To operate the stick push, both systems must be
tested together and the hydraulic pressure must be normal.

H. Stick Shaker

Independent stick shakers, one mounted on each control column, give tactile
warning when stall warning output is received from the associated signal proces-
sor.

I. Stick Push

The stick push is a hydraulic ram controlled by two electric solenoids connected
in series. The solenoids are independently controlled by the left and right signal
processor stall identification outputs. Both solenoids must be energised to allow
the flow of hydraulic fluid to activate the stick push. Hydraulic power is provided
by the normal hydraulic power system at 2000 psi.

Visual warning is provided by STALL (red) switch indicators on the coaming


panel when a stall identified signal is received from the associated signal proces-
sor.

I. Stick Push (continued...)

When activated, the stick push operates on the left elevator operating quadrant to
push the elevator down to the nose down 8° position (8 degrees down from the
mean aerodynamic chord).

The right elevator is also driven down because the left and right elevator control
circuits are connected through the control column.

The stick push can be overpowered by pulling back on the control column with a
stick force of approximately 75 lb.

J. Air Data Computers (ADC)

The left and right signal processors provide outputs to the left and right ADCs.
The data is used by the ADC to calculate 1.07 Vs for display on the IAS tape of
the EFIS EADI as a low speed awareness red band below 1.07 Vs.

K. Modes of Operation

1. Ground Mode

The system is in the ground mode when the weight-on-wheels (WOW)


switches indicate the aircraft is on the ground. In this mode the stall warn-
ing and identification functions are disabled and the test functions are
enabled.

2. Air Mode

The system enters the air mode three seconds after the weight-on-wheels
switches indicate that the aircraft is off the ground. The stall warning and
identification functions are enabled and the test mode disabled for flight.

The ice mode can only be enabled with the system in the air mode and the
left or the right engine intake anti-ice system active. When the system is in
the ice mode the stall warning angles at which stick shake and stick push
occur are reduced.

The system is in the ice mode when the left or the right ADC generates a
speed signal of more than 145 kt IAS to the signal processors, and the left
or the right ENG/ELEV ANTI-ICE switch is set to the ON position.

A STALL ICE MODE PUSH TO CANCEL switch/indicator is installed on the


center instrument panel, the indicator caption reads ICING AOA. When the
ice mode is active the switch/indicator ICING (green) caption comes on.
AOA

The ice mode stays active at all aircraft configurations and airspeeds, pro-
vided that an airspeed of more than 145 kt IAS has been attained during the
flight.

The ice mode is disabled and the system reverts to normal (no ice) opera-
tion if the pilot sets the left and the right ENG/ELEV ANTI-ICE switches to
OFF and presses the STALL ICE MODE TO CANCEL switch/indicator. The
ice mode is disabled automatically when the engines stop at the end of the
flight.

4. Test Mode

The mode can only be enabled with the system in the ground mode. By
operation of the L and R STALL TEST switches on the right side console the
systems can be checked independently, to give stall warning stick shaker
and audio indications, or together, to give stall identification stick push indi-
cations. The stick push will not operate without normal hydraulic pressure.

Air Conditioning

1. Air Conditioning

A. General

The aircraft has an environmental control system (ECS) installed. The ECS sup-
plies all the necessary heating, cooling and ventilation for the aircraft. The pas-
senger cabin and flight deck temperatures are set independently from controls
on the flight deck.

Air for cabin air conditioning and pressurization is provided by engine High
Pressure (HP) and Low Pressure (LP) bleed air. Bleed air from both engines is
independently regulated for pressure and flow, then ducted to two Air Condition-
ing Packs (ACP) in the forward end of the ventral pod.

Each ACP conditions the bleed air to the correct temperature, pressure and
humidity for distribution. Conditioned air is distributed along the length of the
passenger cabin, and to the flight deck at each pilot station.

B. Control and Indication

1. Flow Control
Flow control is achieved by the PRSOVs (Pressure Regulating and Shut-Off
Valve) and an independent FLOW selector for each valve. There is a PRSOV
installed in each engine nacelle. The flow selector is installed on the lower
centre console.

When a flow selector is turned fully clockwise, the related PRSOV regu-
lates the output pressure to 33 psi (±3). This is the maximum flow condi-
tion. Counter-clockwise rotation of the FLOW selector gradually closes the
PRSOV. The system has independent mass flow control to the FLIGHT DECK
(right control) and CABIN (left control).

2. Temperature Control
Control of the cabin and flight deck temperature is through a three-way
Temperature Control Valve (TCV). The TCV regulates the flow of hot air to
by-pass the CAU (Cold Air Unit).

v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.3 - Air Conditioning and Pressurization
Air Conditioning

2. Temperature Control (continued...)


This hot air is then mixed with cool air at the CAU turbine outlet. Temperature
adjustment can be set to automatic or manual.

Automatic control is by the operation of an independent AUTO ON/OFF/RE-


SET switch for both CABIN and FLIGHT DECK. The switches are installed in
the AIR CONDITIONING control panel on the lower centre panel (console) of
the flight deck.

When AUTO ON is selected, the cabin or flight deck temperature is deter-


mined by the position of the TEMPERATURE controller. The temperature is
controllable within the +18°C (max DEC) to +27°C (max INC). A tempera-
ture controller, installed in the flight deck, compares this set temperature
with signals from the duct temperature sensor and cabin or flight deck
sensors.

If the AUTO control fails, a MANUAL control is available. Set the AUTO
switch to OFF and the temperature is now controlled with the MANUAL
INCrease/OFF/DECrease switch. The switch gives direct manual control of
the TCV and is spring loaded to the OFF position.

Recirculation Fan

4. Recirculation Fan

A. General

The recirculation fan can be used to recirculate the air in the cabin when the ECS
is not operating. The recirculation fan provides a continuous air flow through the
punkah louvre (adjustable air vent) outlets in the cabin.

The recirculation fan can be used on the ground and in all conditions of flight.

The recirculation fan assembly consists of a ducted fan which is driven by an


electric motor. A check valve is situated in the outlet duct of the fan enclosure.

The recirculation fan is installed in the main baggage compartment.

B. Control

The recirculation fan is controlled by the RECIRCulation FAN switch mounted on


the control panel on the right console of the flight deck.

The RECIRCulation FAN switch is used to select the recirculation fan to HIgh (full
flow), LOW (50% flow) or OFF.

The RECIRCulation FAN switch power supply is from the 28V dc non-essential
busbar.

Pressurization

5. Pressurization

A. General

The aircraft has a Cabin Pressurization Control System (CPCS) installed. Cabin
pressure is controlled by regulating the outflow of passenger cabin air through
an electro-pneumatic outflow valve installed on the rear pressure bulkhead.
The normal operating differential pressure is controlled at 5.7 psi to permit a
maximum cabin altitude of 8,000 ft at the maximum aircraft operating altitude of
25,000 ft.

B. Components

The CPCS includes the following components:

- Electro-pneumatic outflow valve


- Pneumatic outflow valve
- Electro-pneumatic controller
- Jetpump
- Cabin air filter

1. Electro-Pneumatic Outflow Valve


This valve is installed on the rear pressure bulkhead. It regulates the cabin
pressure in the AUTO mode of operation. In addition to the normal differen-
tial pressure of 5.7 psi the valve also includes an overpressure relief at 6.0
psi, negative pressure relief at minus 0.3 psi and a cabin altitude limit of
14,500 ft. (±500).
2. Pneumatic Outflow Valve
This valve is installed on the forward pressure bulkhead. It regulates the
cabin pressure in the MANUAL mode of operation. The valve also provides
overpressure relief at 6.0 psi and negative pressure relief at 0.3 psi.

3. Electro-Pneumatic Controller
Installed in the flight deck lower centre panel the controller includes AUTO
and MANual controllers.

v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.3 - Air Conditioning and Pressurization
Pressurization

4. Jetpump
Installed in the ventral pod, it supplies a negative pressure for both outflow
valves and the cabin pressure controller. The jetpump is fed with HP (High
Pressure) bleed air, regulated at 21.5 psi, from the airframe de-ice low-pres-
sure manifold.

5. Cabin Air Filter


Installed forward of the rear pressure bulkhead, it filters cabin air supply to
the electro-pneumatic outflow valve.

C. Indications and Warnings

1. Indication Gauges

Two gauges are installed in the lower centre panel. A combined gauge to
show:
- Cabin altitude
- Cabin pressure differential

A rate of climb gauge is also provided.

2. Pressure Warning System

If the pressure in the cabin falls and the altitude exceeds 10,000 ft (±500),
a low cabin pressure warning switch will operate and a CAP CABIN
HI ALT
(red) caption will come on. A signal is also sent to the flight
data acquisition unit.

Chapter 8.3 - Air Conditioning and Pressurization
Pressurization Modes of Operation

6. Pressurization Modes of Operation

A. Normal Operation (AUTO mode)


For the normal (AUTO mode) operation, the guarded AUTO/MAN switch on the
electro-pneumatic controller must be set to AUTO and the AUTO caption must be
on.

The controller, when in AUTO mode, controls the passenger cabin altitude and
rate of change. The destination altitude must be set before take-off, except when
the destination altitude is greater than 8,000 ft. In this case the altitude must
be set to 8,000 ft before take-off and the actual destination altitude set during
descent. This will prevent the in-flight cabin altitude exceeding 8,000 ft. The
electro-pneumatic outflow valve is controlled automatically.

B. Automatic Pre-Pressurization On the Ground


The function of this sequence is to prevent cabin pressure surges and the need
for pressure adjustment during take-off. The sequence is started through the
weight-on-wheels (WOW) switches and when the POWER levers are advanced
to the take-off position.

With air-conditioning ON for take-off, the cabin altitude descends at 400 ft/min to
300 ft differential altitude. With the airconditioning OFF, both pneumatic outflow
valves will close.
C. Flight Sequence

At the end of the take-off sequence and when the weight-on-wheels switches in-
dicate that the aircraft has left the ground, the normal flight sequence is started.

The pressurization system will give minimum cabin altitude based on a maxi-
mum pressure differential of 5.7 psi. The cabin maximum altitude is 8,000 ft un-
less a higher landing altitude is set on the controller. The maximum rate of climb
of the cabin is 620 ft/min and maximum rate of descent is 400 ft/min.

If there is an emergency descent, indicated by a high aircraft rate of descent, the


system increases the cabin rate of descent but to no more than 1,100 ft/min.

v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.3 - Air Conditioning and Pressurization
Pressurization Modes of Operation

D. Automatic Depressurization on the ground


To prevent changes in cabin pressure during landing, the aircraft will land with a
differential cabin altitude of minus 300 ft.

When the aircraft is on the ground with the POWER levers moved behind FLIGHT
IDLE, the automatic depressurization sequence is started. The cabin is depres-
surized at a rate of climb of 620 ft/min and, when no residual pressure exists,
both outflow valves are fully open.

E. Automatic Mode Test


A test of the automatic mode is done with the aircraft electrical power set to ON.
If a system fault is found, a CAP PRESS (amber) caption comes on and a
fault code appears on the cabin pressure controller LCD display. The
test and indication system operates continuously during operation in the auto-
matic mode.

If a fault code is present on the display it should be recorded for technical de-
brief. To reset the display, cycle the controller to MAN and back to AUTO.

F. Reversionary Operation (Manual Mode)


If the automatic mode fails then manual operation of the pressurization system is
available. The guarded AUTO/MAN switch on the cabin pressure controller must
be set to MAN. This is indicated by a MAN caption on the switch.

In MANUAL mode the pneumatic outflow valve is opened pneumatically by the


manual controller. The controller will allow the pilot to select any cabin altitude
rate of change between a descent of 1,500 ft/min and a climb of 2,500 ft/min.

The controller must be slowly adjusted to achieve the desired rate of change of
cabin height. When the required cabin altitude is reached a zero rate of change
should be set. During operation in the manual mode the electro-pneumatic out-
flow valve will remain closed.

Chapter 8.3 - Air Conditioning and Pressurization
Pressurization System Protection

7. Pressurization System Protection

A. Cabin Altitude Limitation


If the cabin altitude reaches 14,500 ft the opening of the electro-pneumatic
outflow valve decreases to maintain the cabin altitude at this value.
NOTE: If the cabin altitude reaches an abnormal reading (especially when the 10,000 ft
indication illuminates) check that the manual control knob is correctly set.

B. Rapid Depressurization
If it is necessary to dump the cabin pressure whilst in either automatic or manual
modes then the guarded DUMP switch must be set to ON. This will be indicated
by the caption on the switch.

The dump selection activates the electro-pneumatic outflow valve to the fully
open position. However, when the cabin reaches an altitude of 14,500 ft
(±500) the cabin altitude limitation device will override the dump function and
the cabin will be held at this altitude. With an aircraft altitude of 26,000 ft the
cabin will rise from 8,000 ft to 14,500 ft in 20 seconds.

If further rapid depressurization is required the manual control can be used,


whilst in the manual mode, to completely dump pressurization. This will raise the
cabin altitude at a rate of 2,500 ft/min.

C. System Inputs

1. Automatic Mode Discreet Inputs


The automatic mode controller has discrete inputs of:
- Door open signal
- POWER lever switch position
- Weight-on-wheels (WOW) switch position
The door open signal prevents the aircraft being pressurized unless the
door is closed and locked. The POWER lever and weight-on-wheels inputs
identify the correct mode of operation for the controller.

Chapter 8.5 - Electrical System
DC Electrical System

1. DC Electrical System
The aircraft electrical power system is predominantly dc, with ac used only for
the avionics and instruments. The internal dc electrical power is supplied by two
engine-driven starter/generators and two batteries.

A Ground Power Unit (GPU) can be used to supply the aircraft with dc power whilst
it is stationary on the ground. Two static inverters, which are powered from the dc
system, supply ac power at a set frequency.

Power distribution is through a busbar system which groups the loads as crash,
emergency, essential and non-essential. Crash loads are connected directly to the
battery busbars.

Control of the electrical power supply is through switches installed in the dc and
ac control panels in the flight deck roof panel. Normal, abnormal and emergency
operation, and failure indications are shown on the Central Annunciator Panel (CAP)
and flight deck roof panel.

The aircraft electrical bay is located in the ventral pod aft of the hydraulic bay.

A. Battery System

Two 24 Volt nickel-cadmium (NiCad) batteries are installed in the electrical bay
of the aircraft. The batteries have sufficient capacity to supply all emergency
loads for 30 minutes IMC, and 30 minutes VMC, following a failure of all gener-
ated power.

1. Battery Contactors

Each battery is connected to its battery busbar though a Remote Control


Circuit Breaker (RCCB). A battery contactor connects each battery to
the relevant dc distribution system. The RCCB and battery contactor are
installed in a Power Distribution Unit (PDU).


v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.5 - Electrical System
DC Electrical System

1. Battery Contactors (continued...)

Each battery has a related BATT ON/OFF switch and BATT (amber)
caption. The switches and captions are installed in the roof panel and are
labelled LEFT and RIGHT.

If the battery system is serviceable and there is no GPU connected, the bat-
tery contactors close when the BATT switches are set to ON.

When the GPU is connected and set to ON the battery contactors are
opened automatically. This disconnects the batteries from the system and
the BATT (amber) captions in the roof panel come on regardless of the
BATT switches position.

2. Battery Overheat

Installed in each battery are two thermal sensors. These sensors control the
battery overtemperature warning and automatic disconnect function.

The overtemperature warning circuit causes a HI TEMP (amber) caption in the


roof panel to come on if the battery temperature reaches 60 °C. If corrective
action is not taken and the battery temperature reaches 71°C the battery
contactor is opened automatically. This disconnects the battery and the
related BATT (amber) caption in the roof panel comes on.

If a HI TEMP (amber) caption comes on, set the applicable BATT switch in
the roof panel to OFF. The caption will go off when the battery temperature
decreases to less than 39°C.

Do not set the battery to ON unless it is necessary for flight safety following
a total failure of all generated power.

3. Battery Charging

The batteries are charged from the engine-driven generators. They cannot
be charged from a GPU. The on-line generators charge the batteries when
the BATT switches are ON and the BATT (amber) captions are off. The
battery charging current, controlled by the Generator Control Unit (GCU), is
shown as part of the generator load.

4. Battery Voltage and Current

To check the battery voltage and current: set the four position rotary switch
in the roof panel to BATT. The voltage and current are shown digitally on the
meters above the switch. Do not use the battery for internal power starts if
the battery voltage is less than 24.0V dc.

When the current is displayed on the meter a:

- positive figures indicates the batteries are being charged


- a - (minus) before the digits indicates the batteries are being dis-
charged: i.e. supplying an electrical load.

B. Standby DC Power Supply

A standby dc power supply is provided by a nicad battery to maintain the AHRS


(see Avionics, Chapter 11) supply voltage above 18V dc during an internal
battery engine start. It is also used to maintain the energisation of some PDU
contactor coils during certain fault conditions. The standby dc power supply is
installed under the flight deck floor.

A STBY INST PWR SUPPLY switch is located on the centre instrument panel.
When the switch is set to NORM, power for the standby instruments is supplied
by the 28V dc emergency avionic busbar. When the switch is set to STBY, 24V
dc is enabled from the standby battery busbar to the standby instruments.

B. Standby DC Power Supply (continued...)

A standby dc power supply (STBY PWR) PTT indicator/switch is provided on


the SYSTEM TEST panel (right side console). When the switch is pressed, an
indication of the output voltage of the standby dc power supply internal battery
is given. The TEST indicator (white) will come on when the output voltage is 24V
dc or more. The NO CHARGE indicator (amber) will come on when the battery
output voltage is at OV dc.

C. External Power System

A standard three pin external power socket is installed on the right side of the
aircraft in the wing to fuselage aft fairing.

1. External Power Contactor

The external power contactor connects the GPU output to the electrical
power distribution system. The contactor is installed in the left PDU and is
operated by the GND PWR ON/OFF switch in the roof panel.

Undervoltage and overvoltage detection relays are situated in the left PDU.
The relays disconnect the GPU if an undervoltage or overvoltage condition
is detected.

When a GPU is connected and set to ON the external power contactor is


closed and the GPU (green) caption in the roof panel comes on.
ON

The GPU output is then supplied to the distribution system through the
cross-tie busbar and the busbar-tie contactors. The cross-tie busbar is nor-
mally isolated in-flight by the open bus-tie contactors. Whenever the bus-tie
contactors are closed a BUS TIE (green) caption in the roof panel comes on.

Amperes intermittently and current limited in the range of 1500-2000 Am-
peres should be used for engine starting.

D. Generator System

Two engine-driven starter/generators supply the generated dc power. Each


starter/generator has a related GCU and an engine-start Generator Line Contrac-
tor (GLC).

1. Starter Generator

A 28V dc starter/generator is installed on each engine. Each generator is


rated at 550 Amperes continuous output, and 760 amps for five minutes.
During the engine start cycle the starter turns the engine from 0% to 60%
engine speed.

In the event of a single generator failure the remaining generator will supply
all the aircraft’s emergency and essential electrical loads.

2. Generator Control Unit

A GCU is provided for each starter/generator to control and monitor the


output of the generator. The functions monitored include load and voltage. If
a fault in the generator is indicated the GCU causes the appropriate GLC to
open.

An undervoltage detection circuit is installed in the GCU, and detects a


generator undervoltage condition (not charging or discharging the batteries.
When an undervoltage condition occurs a (amber) caption in the roof
panel comes on. U/VOLT

3. Engine Starter/Generator Line Contactor

A generator line contactor (GLC) is provided for each starter/generator. Each


GLC is installed in a related PDU and has two functions:

- To connect internal or external power to the starter to turn the engine


during a ground start.
- To connect the generator to the distribution system when the voltage
is more than the busbar load minus 0.5V dc.

When either GLC is open the following captions come on:

- A CAP ELECT (amber) caption.


GEN
- A (amber) caption in the roof panel.

This occurs before engine start, or as a result of a generator or engine


failure.

If a double generator failure occurs the CAP ELECT (red) caption comes
on. This is to show that the aircraft is supplied with electrical power only
from the batteries.

4. Generator Voltage and Current

To check the generator voltage and current, set the four position rotary
switch in the roof panel to GEN. The voltage (normally 28.5V dc) and the
current are shown digitally on the applicable meters above the switch.

2. DC Distribution System
A split two-channel dc system is provided. This gives mechanical and electrical
isolation of the two generated systems. Mechanical and electrical isolation of the
two systems ensures that no single active fault combined with a single dormant
fault results in a failure of thew two generator systems.

A. Busbar Systems

Distribution of dc power is through twelve busbars as follows:

1. Left Essential Busbar

The left essential busbar is supplied from the left generator through the left
GLC, or from the GPU through the cross-tie busbar. If a left generator failure
occurs, the busbar is supplied from the right generator through the cross-tie
busbar.

2. Right Essential Busbar

The right essential busbar is supplied from the right generator through the
right GLC, or from the GPU through the cross-tie busbar. If a right genera-
tor failure occurs, the busbar is supplied from the left generator through the
cross-tie busbar.

3. Non-Essential Busbar

When the two generators are on-line the non-essential busbar is supplied
from the right generator. The non-essential busbar is also supplied through
the cross-tie busbar from a GPU. If a generator failure occurs the non-es-
sential busbar is shed automatically.

4. Emergency Busbar

The emergency busbar is supplied from:

- Left generator through the left GLC


- Right generator though the right GLC
- Left battery through the left battery contactor
- Right battery through the right battery contactor.

If a double generator failure occurs the essential contactors are opened


automatically to disconnect the essential busbars. The emergency busbar
will then supply the electrical loads, sufficient for safe flight and landing,
from battery power.

5. Left Battery Busbar

The left battery busbar is connected to the left battery through a Remote
Control Circuit Breaker (RCCB). Crash loads related to the left engine (e.g.
fire extinguishers) are supplied with the power from this busbar.

6. Right Battery Busbar

The right battery busbar is connected to the right battery through a Remote
Control Circuit Breaker. Crash loads related to the left engine are supplied
with the power from this busbar.

With batteries installed and the RCCBs closed the battery busbars are
always live.

7. Standby Battery Busbar

The standby battery busbar is connected to the standby power supply by


either of the battery master switches. This busbar supplies power to the
AHRS during internal battery engine starts.

8. Cross-Tie Busbar

The cross-tie busbar is used to connect the output from a GPU to the dis-
tribution system. It is also used to parallel the two batteries or the two bat-
teries and one generator for internal power starts. During the start cycle the
cross-tie busbar supplies power through the bus-tie contactors to the GLCs.

In normal flight conditions the cross-tie busbar is isolated by the open bus-
tie contactors. In the event of a single generator failure the bus-tie contac-
tors are closed automatically. This connects the remaining generator to the
opposite essential busbar through the closed bus-tie contactors and the
cross-tie busbar.

9. 28V dc Avionic Essential Busbars (Left and Right)

The two essential avionic busbars are supplied with power from the left and
right essential busbars respectively. The power supplies to these busbars
are controlled by switches in the roof panel labelled AVIONICS MASTER
ON/OFF LEFT/RIGHT.

The left essential avionic busbar supplies the no. 1 avionics system compo-
nents and the right supplies the no. 2 avionics system components.

10. 28V dc Emergency Switched Avionic Busbar

The emergency switched avionic busbar is supplied with power from the
emergency busbar through the emergency avionics bus relay. The relay
is made when the emergency busbar is powered and the LEFT AVIONICS
MASTER switch is set to ON.

Supplies from this busbar are, primarily, to the no. 1 navigation system and
standby instruments.

3. Distribution Control
Contactors, RCCBs and switches control the distribution of dc electrical power.

A. Contactors

The distribution control contactors are as follows:

1. Generator Line Contactors


The GLC function is explained in section 1.D.3 (pg. 8) of this chapter.

2. Load-Shed (Non-Essential) Contactor


The load-shed contactor connects the right PDU internal busbar to the
non-essential busbar. The contactor is closed automatically when the two
generators or a GPU come online. If a generator failure occurs the contac-
tor is opened automatically to shed the non-essential busbar. The contactor
can also be opened manually by selecting the roof panel switch labelled
NON-ESS SHED/NORMAL to SHED. When the load-shed contactor is open
the non-essential busbar is shed and the NON ESS (amber) caption above the
BUS
switch comes on.
3. Busbar Tie Contactors
The busbar tie contactors connect the left and right PDU internal busbars
to the cross-tie busbar. In the normal operating condition the busbar tie
contactors are open.

The contactors are closed automatically when a GPU is connected and the
GND PWR switch is set to ON. The GPU output is then supplied through the
closed busbar tie contactors to the emergency, essential and non-essential
busbars.

If a generator failure occurs during flight the busbar tie contactors are
automatically closed to couple the essential busbars through the cross-tie
busbar. The BUS TIE (green) caption in the roof panel comes on to show the
CLOSED

busbar tie contactors are closed.

4. Battery Contactors
The battery contactors connect the batteries to their common bus points.
The contactors are opened automatically when a GPU is set to ON.

Whenever a battery contactor is open a BATT (amber) caption in the roof


panel comes on.

5. External Power Contactor


The external power contactor connects the output from a GPU to the cross-
tie busbar. With the two generators off-line the contactor is closed when
the GND PWR switch is set to ON. The GPU output is then supplied to the
emergency, essential and non-essential busbars through the cross-tie bus-
bar and busbar tie connectors. If a generator is on-line, the external power
contactor is open and the GND PWR switch can not be set to ON.

When the GND PWR switch is set to ON, the external power contactor is
closed and the battery contactors open. In this condition the batteries can-
not be brought online.

To prevent damage to the aircraft electrical system the external power con-
tactor is opened by an undervoltage, overvoltage or reverse polarity check
failure when the GPU is connected.

6. Essential Busbar Contactors


The essential busbar contactors connect the essential busbars to the PDU
internal busbar. The contactors are closed automatically when a GPU is
connected and the GND PWR switch is set to ON.

During normal flight operation the essential contactors remain closed.


Guarded L ESS and R ESS SHED/NORMAL switches in the roof panel allow
the essential busbars to be shed in-flight. When a switch is set to SHED the
related essential busbar contactor is opened. This will shed the applicable
essential busbar and the L ESS or R ESS (amber) caption above the
BUS BUS
switch will come on.

The RCCBs are as follows:

1. Emergency RCCBs
Two emergency RCCBs connect a generator and a battery to the emergency
busbar by separate routes. In the event of a double generator failure the es-
sential contactors are opened automatically to shed the essential busbars.
The emergency busbar remains energised, supplied only by the batteries.

2. Battery RCCBs
The battery RCCBs connect the batteries to their related busbars to supply
the crash loads.

C. Switches

The control switches are as follows:

1. Busbar Shedding Switches


It is possible to shed individual busbars (e.g. for smoke drill purposes).

The emergency busbar is shed by setting the guarded switch in the roof
panel labelled EMERG to SHED.
EMERG
The BUS (amber) caption above the switch comes on to show the bus-
bar is isolated.

Propellers

General
Two Garrett TPE 331-14 GR/HR engines are installed on the aircraft. Each gas turbine
engine is a single shaft type which operates a McCauley propeller. The -14GR engine
is attached to the left wing and the -14HR to the right wing. When seen from the
rear, the left propeller turns clockwise (CW) and the right propeller counterclockwise
(CCW).

Mounted on the single shaft is a 2-stage centrifugal compressor and a 3-stage axial
turbine. The combustion chamber is of the reverse flow annular type and ignition is by
two high energy spark plugs. Fuel is introduced to the combustion chamber through
16 Duplex fuel nozzles.

1. Propellers
A. Type

The propellers are McCauley, 5-blade, constant speed, variable pitch units with a
114 inch diameter and a pitch range from reverse to feather.

B. Propeller Feather and Unfeather

1. Feather

The NTS/auto-feather system will automatically feather a propeller when an


engine is being shut down. This system is only available when the Auto-
matic Performance Reserve (APR) system is armed.

During all other flight conditions the propeller moves to the feathered
position when the engine CONDITION lever is set to FEATHER.

2. Unfeather

An electrically operated unfeather pump is supplied for each propeller. This


allows the propeller blades to be moved from the feathered position to a
blade pitch angle where a propeller-windmilling air start can be done.

Chapter 8.6 - Engines and Propellers
Propellers

2. Unfeather (continued...)

Before ground-start the propeller must be on the start latches. If the start
latches are not engaged the unfeather pump is used to put the propeller on
the start latches. The procedure for this is to put the POWER lever in the
REVerse position and operate the unfeather pump switch.

When reverse blade angle is reached, the unfeather pump is de-activated,


the POWER lever is moved to FLIGHT IDLE, and the propeller locks are
engaged.

Each unfeather pump is automatically controlled in the air with:

- The Integrated Engine Control (IEC) switch


- The START MASTER switch on the roof panel set to AIR.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE UNFEATHER PUMP IN EXCESS OF ONE MINUTE


WHEN THE OIL IS COLD. RESTRICT OPERATION TO 30 SECONDS WHEN
THE OIL IS HOT.

On the ground the pumps are controlled manually with an UNFEATHER


pump switch. The switch has three positions and is spring loaded to the
center OFF position. The switch is installed on the lower centre console and
gives selection for the Left or Right unfeather pumps.

C. Propeller Synchrophasing System

manually to within 10 RPM of each other.

The PROP SYNCRO ON/OFF switch on the roof panel should be set to ON.
The propellers will be phase matched within 30 seconds and then remain
locked until the CONDITION levers are moved to change RPM.

The system cannot reduce propeller RPM below the speed set manually by
the condition levers. However, when the system is switched ON the indi-
cated RPM may rise slightly, a sign that the system is operating correctly.

The PROP SYNCRO switch must be OFF for take-off and landing.

2. Engine Controls and Indications


A. Centre Console

The CONDITION levers on the right side of the centre console control the engine
speed. In flight the CONDITION levers set the propeller governor to control the
engine speed. The operating range is from 95% (TAXI) to 100% (FLIGHT) rpm.

When the POWER levers are in the beta mode, the CONDITION levers set the
RPM between 72% (TAXI) and 97% (FLIGHT). The normal position for ground
operation is with the CONDITION levers in the TAXI position. This condition
decreases engine noise and there is less risk of propeller damage from foreign
objects.

To move the CONDITION lever from TAXI to FEATHER it is first necessary to push
the associated LATCH RELEASE button on the centre console behind the
CONDITION lever.

When the CONDITION lever is set to FEATHER:

- the manual fuel shutoff valve is closed


- microswitches cause the LP and HP fuel valve and the LP hydraulic
valves to close.

The POWER levers, on the left side of the centre console, control propeller blade
angles in the ground idle to reverse range (beta mode). REVERSE is set by
moving the POWER levers fully aft.

The first gate forward of REVERSE is the ground idle detent. This position
provides zero thrust in static operating conditions. The ground operating (beta)
range provides limited thrust for taxi operations. The forward limit of the beta
range is set by the FLIGHT IDLE mechanics.

The POWER levers must not be moved behind the FLIGHT IDLE latch in flight.
From FLIGHT IDLE forward, the POWER levers schedule fuel flow and do not
directly control propeller blade angles.

B. Roof Panel

The ENGINE MANAGEMENT switches are installed in the roof panel:

- START LEFT/RIGHT
- STOP LEFT/RIGHT
- START MASTER
- FUEL ENRICH - PRESS ON
- MANUAL START
- COMPUTERS, IGNITION AND PROP SYNCRO

1. START LEFT/RIGHT

When the START switch is pushed it causes the start sequence to operate.
The START switch is electrically held in position until the engine goes to
60% RPM. When the START switch is operated the start circuit of the other
engine cannot be energised.

2. STOP LEFT/RIGHT

The function of the STOP switch is to stop the engine or stop the start
sequence. The high pressure fuel supply from the FCU is closed to stop the
engine. Electrical power is also removed from the start circuits.

3. START MASTER

If the START MASTER is set to LEFT GND or RIGHT GND electrical power
is supplied to the applicable starter to turn the engine. The START MASTER
and START switches must be operated for the same engine. If the START
MASTER switch is at AIR, electrical power is supplied to the applicable
engine unfeathering pump. This condition is used to permit an air start.

4. FUEL ENRICH - PRESS ON

During an automatic start sequence the IEC controls the torque motor
included in the fuel enrichment system. When the IEC causes the torque
motor to increase the fuel supplied to the engine, the FUEL ENRICH light
comes on.

If it is necessary to carry out a manual engine start, the pilot should press
the FUEL ENRICH button to maintain the EGT close to 695°C until 60% RPM
has been reached and the start sequence is complete.

5. MANUAL START

A rotary switch with four positions is installed. The switch permits a manual
start of the engine if the auto start function of the IEC (or the IEC) is unser-
viceable or in the OFF condition. The ENERGISE position arms the circuit
which holds the START switch in position and must be selected before the
START button is pressed.

IGNITE is selected at 10% RPM and opens the fuel shutdown valve and
permits fuel flow to the engine. It also energises the igniters and arms the
fuel enrichment system.

The 60% position is selected when the engine RPM reaches 60%. It sup-
plies the functions of the 60% relay in the IEC automatic start system.

NORMAL is selected when the engine reaches ground idle RPM and is also
the position of the selector for normal operation of the engine start system.

The position of the START MASTER switch sets which engine is to be


started with the MANUAL system.

3. RPM %

The instruments indicate percentage rotational speed using a digital display


at their centre. In addition, there is a simulated analogue pointer (digitally
generated) moving around the circumference of the instrument to give the
pilot rate-of-change information. There are no scale graduations.

The circumference has an amber arc between the pointer positions cor-
responding to 65% and 95%, a green arc from 95% to 101%, an amber arc
from 101% to 105%, a red radial line at 105% and a red arc between 105%
and 110%.

4. EGT °C

The IEC continuously computes the EGT limits for its engine and outputs
this value to the EIS. The EGT limit for each engine is displayed immediately
above each engine’s EGT display with digital readouts.

The circumference of the EGT instrument is marked with a green arc, a red
radial line and a red arc. These markings are fixed, and there is no scale.

At all times, the red radial represents the EGT limit, and a circumferential
simulated analogue pointer (digitally generated) represents the difference
between the actual EGT and the EGT limit.

During starting, the green arc represents a range of 0 to 770°C and the red
radial represents the start limit of 770°C. During normal operation (above
60% engine speed), the green arc represents a range from EGT limit minus
400°C to the actual/current EGT limit.

The pointer gives a clear indication of engine EGT relative to the limit,
particularly when EGT is rapidly approaching the limit. When the digital EGT
value (the green digits in the centre of the gauge) equals the digital EGT limit
value, the pointer is directly in line with the red radial line.

Chapter 8.6 - Engines and Propellers
Engine Controls and Indications

4. EGT °C (continued...)

There are two white radial lines near the top of the green arc. The first is
positioned 10°C below the red radial and provides an easy reference for the
pilot to set a cruise EGT approximately 10°C below the limit.

The second white radial is positioned at 50°C below the red radial. When
engine speed is reduced from 100% to cruise RPM, the computed EGT limit
reduces by approximately 30°C.

To avoid an inadvertent over temperature during the transition from take-off


to the en-route climb setting, the power should be reduced first to give an
EGT 50°C below the limit. Once this has been achieved, engine speed can
be reduced. The white radial is provided as an aid to carry out this routine
procedure.

5. EGT LIMIT °C

The EGT limit °C box will indicate as follows:

- During engine start from 0-65% RPM - Ground start limit at 770°C
- 65-95% RPM - IEC calculates ground handling limit
- 95-100% - calculates flight limit

During take-off the EGT limit is raised by 10°C. When the torque is raised
above 65% the EGT limit and VRL will roll back 10°C five minutes after take-
off but the TTL is still locked into the take-off EGT limit.

When cruise RPM is selected the CONDITION lever retarded below 98%
RPM, the EGT limit and VRL are reset to the calculated maximum continu-
ous limit and the TTL is also locked into this new limit.

As the CONDITION lever is reset to FLIGHT (100% RPM) during the ap-
proach checks the EGT limit and VRL are reset to the calculated take-off
limit, based on ambient conditions, for five minutes. If a “touch and go”
landing is carried out the five minute timer is reset as the power increases
through 65% torque after the “go” has been commenced.

6. TORQUE

Torque is shown on the top gauge as a percentage with a line on the outer
scale of the gauge. This value is also shown digitally in the centre of the
gauge. The gauge is redlined at 100%. A SET TORQUE knob is installed on
the bottom of the engine instrument panel. This permits scheduled torque
to be set. It is shown with two short parallel lines on the outer scale of the
gauge. The scheduled torque is also shown digitally in a small box (SET) at
the top of the engine instrument panel.

The analogue scale reads from 0 to 120% and the digital -20% to +120%.
The scale is marked with graduations every 10%, has a green arc from 0 to
100%, red line at 100% and red arc from 100 to 120%.

The range of the SET TORQUE knob is 60 to 100%.

7. Fuel by-pass (TTL)

Fuel by-pass operation (TTL torque motor) is shown with a green TTL light
at the top corner of the engine instrument panel. One light supplied for each
engine.

8. Fuel Pressure Indication

Fuel pressure is indicated by one of the pointers on an analogue triple gauge


(one per engine) immediately above the engine instrument panel. The scale
is from zero to 70 psi and is marked with a red radial line at 10 psi, a green
arc from 10-65 psi and a red radial at 65 psi. There are scale markings
every 5 psi.

9. Oil Pressure Indication

Oil pressure is indicated by one of the pointers on the analogue triple gauge.
The scale runs from zero to 100 psi and is marked with a red radial line at
30 psi, an amber arc from 65 to 85 psi and a red radial at 85 psi. There are
scale markings every 10 psi.

Engine Sequence of Operation

3. Engine Sequence of Operation

General

The following pages show the sequence of engine operation from Preflight through
to engine Shutdown preceded by a shirt description of the engine controls.

A. CONDITION LEVERS

The CONDITION levers move fore and aft on the centre console. The identified
positions on the centre console are:

- FLIGHT
- TAXI
- FEATHER SHUT-OFF

When the aircraft is on the ground the CONDITION levers are set to the TAXI po-
sition. During flight the levers are set to the FLIGHT or cruise position (the range
between FLIGHT and TAXI).

The levers can only be moved aft (from TAXI to FEATHER SHUT-OFF) when the
related LATCH RELEASE button is depressed. Movement of the CONDITION lever
rearwards to the FEATHER SHUT-OFF position closes the fuel HP and LP valves
as well as the hydraulic LP valves.

B. POWER LEVERS

The POWER levers move fore and aft on the centre console. There is a latch
lever in front of the POWER levers.

The identified positions on the centre console are:

- MAX
- FLIGHT IDLE
- GRND START
- REVERSE

18
v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.6 - Engines and Propellers
Engine Sequence of Operation

B. POWER LEVERS (continued...)

When the aircraft is on the ground the POWER levers can be set to all posi-
tions between FLIGHT IDLE and REVERSE. During flight the levers are set to the
required position between FLIGHT IDLE and MAX.

When the aircraft is on the ground the latch lever must be operated to let the
power lever move back through FLIGHT IDLE.

During flight this movement is prevented because of the flight idle baulk sole-
noid. The baulk solenoid is engaged 3 seconds after both main gear weight-on-
wheels switches have operated (operation of either weight-on-wheels switch
during the 3 seconds will restart the time delay).

On landing, operation of either main gear weight-on-wheels switch will disen-


gage the baulk solenoid, enabling operation of the reverse latch lever.

On the ground the flight control gust lock prevents the movement of both power
levers forward of FLIGHT IDLE and only one power lever at a time can be moved
forward for test functions.

C. Preflight

A preflight inspection must be completed before the engines are started. Re-
move the engine inlet covers and examine the inlet P2/T2 probes and compres-
sor blades for damage. Make sure there is no sign of oil in the engine inlet area.
Measure the engine oil level and make sure the filler cap is correctly installed.
Make sure the propeller is on the start latches.

Turn the propeller by hand through three or four turns and listen for unusual
noises. Remove the cover from the exhaust pipe and examine the turbine blades
for damage. Make sure there are no signs of oil leakage at the turbine seal area.
Remove all loose objects from the area, as these objects can cause damage to
the propeller or engine.

Check the control levers for freedom of travel and position the CONDITION levers
to TAXI.
19
v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.6 - Engines and Propellers
Engine Sequence of Operation

C. Preflight (continued...)

Place the POWER levers at or slightly behind FLIGHT IDLE. Before starting the
engines ensure that the batteries are fully charged or that a ground power unit
(GPU) of sufficient capacity is used (Chapter 5 - Electrics).

D. Cranking

When the START switch is pushed 24V are supplied to the starter motor. As
the engine and propeller start to turn, the RPM gauge shows an increase. If oil
temperature is less than 3°C the de-oil solenoids will open. This lets case air
into the suction lines of the supply/scavenge pumps, removes the load from
the pumps and decreases drag. If the oil temperature is more than 3°C the de-oil
solenoids stay closed.

E. Lightoff at 10%

When the engine reaches 10% RPM, there is sufficient airflow through the power
section to sustain combustion. At 10% RPM the IEC transmits signals that oper-
ate the ignition system and enables the fuel valve in the fuel control. The motive-
flow lockout pilot-solenoid closes, preventing by-pass of fuel from the engine.
As fuel enters the combustion chamber, combustion occurs, and a rise in the
EGT shows that the engine has combustion. The engine EGT and accelleration
rate must be monitored. If lightoff does not occur within ten seconds after reach-
ing 10% RPM, the start should be aborted.

F. Acceleration
Engine acceleration is a function of the increasing compressor discharge air
flow and pressure which controls the fuel metering valve schedule. The fuel
enrichment torque motor is used to add fuel to the basic fuel control start and
acceleration fuel schedule. The acceleration schedule is biased by the engine
inlet temperature and inlet pressure. Engine acceleration is monitored by the IEC
which sets a limit of 695°C EGT for the enrichment system operation. The maxi-
mum permitted start and acceleration EGT is kept to a limit of 770°C for one
second. If the EGT goes near or is more than 770°C the start sequence must be
stopped. Monitor the oil pressure to make sure it increases before engine speed
goes to 65% RPM.
20
v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.6 - Engines and Propellers
Engine Sequence of Operation

G. 60% RPM

The 60% speed switch removes the electrical power from the ignition and starter
motor circuits. The fuel flow and RPM will continue to increase. Increased
engine speed and airflow causes the EGT to decrease. The pilot-solenoid of the
motive-flow lockout opens to let fuel go to the heater. If the de-oil solenoids were
open they will close and oil pressure will quickly increase.

H. On Speed

Engine acceleration continues until the USG senses the engine speed approach-
ing its controlling range. The USG takes control of the fuel metering valve. The
CONDITION lever TAXI position establishes the USG minimum setting at 72%
RPM.

I. Release of the Propeller Start Latches

The start latches are disengaged when the POWER levers are moved to a posi-
tion slightly behind ground idle. This action moves the propeller blades in the
direction of the reverse angle position and allows the start latches to retract. This
gives the pilot control of the propeller blade pitch angle during normal ground
operation. The POWER levers control the pitch angle of the propeller blades
during normal ground operation.

J. Taxi (Low RPM)

After disengaging the propeller start latches, taxiing the aircraft only requires
moving the POWER levers to produce the required thrust. As power changes
are made during taxi, the cockpit indicators will show a corresponding increase
or decrease in power, fuel flow, EGT and RPM. To taxi the aircraft, advance the
POWER levers ahead of ground idle for forward thrust. For braking or slowing
the aircraft the POWER levers can be moves aft of ground idle towards the
REVERSE thrust position.

The amount of POWER lever movement required to taxi depends upon the
aircraft weight, wind and ramp conditions. For noise considerations the CONDI-
TION levers are left in the TAXI position.

v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.6 - Engines and Propellers
Engine Sequence of Operation

K. Prepare for Take-Off

For take-off, advance the CONDITION levers to the FLIGHT position. The engines
accelerate to the USG high setting of 97% RPM. The IEC signal positions the
VRL pointer on the EGT gauge to the maximum permissible take-off EGT limit for
the existing ambient conditions.

L. Take-Off

When advancing the POWER levers ahead of FLIGHT IDLE, the fuel control unit
transfers control of engine fuel from the USG to the POWER lever. Propeller
control is transferred from the PPC to the PG. The POWER lever now controls
fuel flow through linkage connections to the FCU. Advancing the POWER levers
towards MAX position increases fuel flow and engine power faster than the load
increases. This results in the engine speed increasing from 97% to 100% RPM.

The PG controls propeller blade pitch angle to match load and power to maintain
engine speed at 100% RPM during take-off. The POWER lever is advanced until
the torque or temperature limit is reached. As the POWER lever is advanced
the PG continues to increase blade angle and the aircraft accelerates down the
runway.

M. Setting Cruise Power

During climb there will be an increase in EGT whilst the RPM remains steady at
100%. This is due to the change of air density as altitude increases. At some al-
titude the engine power and EGT will be at their limit. When this happens the EGT
output decreases as the aircraft continues its climb. When the assigned cruise
altitude is reached, reduce the engine to a lower cruise RPM.

To set the engine to cruise, first reduce fuel flow by retarding the POWER levers
and observing that the indicated EGT is at least 50°C below VRL. Secondly, re-
tard the CONDITION levers to reduce speeds to cruise RPM. Thirdly, reset cruise
power with the POWER levers. Do not allow the EGT to exceed the VRL limit.

22
v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.6 - Engines and Propellers
Engine Sequence of Operation

N. Descent - Approach

Before commencing the descent the CONDITION levers must be set to FLIGHT
and remain in that setting until the end of the landing roll. Under ideal condi-
tions the POWER levers will be set to FLIGHT IDLE but may be set as required to
maintain the correct approach path.

O. Flare on Landing

As the aircraft approaches the threshold, the POWER levers are moved FLIGHT
IDLE. After touchdown and rollout the forward speed decreases. RPM will
decrease to less than the value set at the PG. At 97% RPM, the USG starts
to control the fuel and maintains RPM. When the aircraft is on the ground the
POWER levers must be moved to ground idle. This will cause the aircraft speed
to decrease because of the discing propellers.

P. Reverse Thrust - Braking

During the landing roll the green beta lights will come on. This shows sufficient
beta oil pressure is available for use of reverse thrust. The two green lights
must be on before REVERSE is selected unless one engine is shut down. The
green light on the serviceable engine must be on before reverse thrust braking
is selected. The speed of the aircraft will decrease when the POWER levers are
moved aft of ground idle in the direction of the REVERSE position. The quantity
of REVERSE used is related to the length of the runway.

Ground idle is effectively zero degrees pitch and is highly effective in bringing
the aircraft to a halt. Use of reverse power increases engine wear, and espe-
cially with the low air intake, can induce foreign objects into the engine. Care
should therefore be taken in the amount of reverse power used. Use of reverse
power should be restricted to whatever is necessary for the safe operation of the
aircraft on the ground.

Q. Taxi (Low RPM)

When the aircraft is off the runway, the CONDITION levers can be moved to the
TAXI position. The aircraft can then be moved by use of the POWER lever. For
shutdown purposes the three minute cool down period may begin at this time.

Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.6 - Engines and Propellers
Engine Sequence of Operation

R. Shutdown

With the aircraft parked and the three minute cool down complete, the engines
can be shut down. When the STOP switch is pushed, it opens the fuel pump/
shutdown valve. Purge air goes into the manifolds. This causes the RPM and
EGT values to increase momentarily, then a continuous decrease in the two
values will occur.

At approximately 50% RPM, move the POWER levers to full REVERSE and hold
them to put the propellers on the start latches.

The POWER levers must be held in this position until RPM is less than 10%.
When less than 10% RPM, the POWER levers are put back to the FLIGHT IDLE
position.

Chapter 8.7 - Fuel System
Fuel System Description

1. Fuel System Description


A. General

The aircraft fuel system has two integral fuel tanks, one installed in each wing.
Each wing tank has a fuel supply sub-system, a fuel quantity sub-system and a
refuel/defuel sub-system.

B. Tank Installation

Each engine has its own independent fuel tank and supply system. The total
available fuel is divided equally between the two tanks. The tanks are integral
with the wings, installed between the front and rear spars and the upper and
lower skins.

Each tank has two main compartments; one inboard and one outboard of the
nacelle. The two compartments are connected by a fuel interconnect duct, and
a fuel vent duct. To prevent blockage, a strainer is installed on the outboard end
of the interconnect duct. Two of the wing ribs act as baffle ribs, and prevent the
bulk movement of fuel during manoeuvres.

Each rib has vent spaces and drain holes. Other wing ribs have rib gap valves
which permit the fuel to flow to the lower part of the wing and prevent fuel surge
back along the wing. The inner bay of each tank is divided to form a scavenge
tank at the front and a collector tank at the rear.

At the tip of each wing is a vent tank (expansion tank) which has the capacity
of approximately 12 US gals. This tank is not filled during refuelling. The vent
tank is vented to atmosphere, through a pipe, to a NACA inlet installed on the
underside of the aircraft wing. During flight the vent tank is slightly pressurized
and any fuel that spills into the vent tank is returned to the main tank through the
syphon pipe.

Two water drain valves are located in each wing; in the vent tank and in the
scavenge tank. The inner-wing dry bay is drained and ventilated through four
holes in the lower skin.

Fuel Supply Sub-System

2. Fuel Supply Sub-System


A. Normal Operation

During normal operation, motive flow from the engine HP fuel pump is used to
drive three jet pump; a primary jet pump and two scavenge jet pumps.

The primary jet pump is mounted in the base of the collector tank. This pump
delivers fuel from the collector tank through a non-return valve, to a negative ‘g’
tank. The fuel is then supplied to the engine through a low pressure (LP) valve,
which incorporates an integral thermal relief valve.

Two scavenge jet pumps send fuel from the scavenge tank into the collector
tank. There is a constant motive flow supply to one scavenge jet pump provided
by a tapping off the main motive flow line.

B. Scavenge, Collector and Negative “G” Tanks

Fuel is fed towards the wing root under gravity. Four flap valves in the inboard
wing ribs retain fuel within the scavenge and collector tanks. A further flap valve
is situated between the collector/scavenge tank to retain fuel within the collector
tank.

The negative “g” tank is an inline reservoir that prevents fuel starvation during
manoeuvres. It gives approximately 10 seconds supply in a negative “g” condi-
tion. A vent valve on top of the negative “g” tank ensures the fuel supply is free
of air.

C. Low Pressure (LP) Valves

An LP valve is installed between each engine and negative “g” tank. Each valve
is controlled by a guarded LP VALVE switch installed on the flight deck roof
panel. Power is supplied from the 28V dc battery busbar to SHUT and emer-
gency busbar to OPEN the valve.


v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.7 - Fuel System
Fuel Supply Sub-System

C. Low Pressure (LP) Valves (continued...)

The valve condition is shown on a caption above each switch. When engine
shut-down occurs, movement of the related engine CONDITION lever to the
FEATHER position closes the LP valve. Power to close the LP valve comes from
the 28V dc emergency busbar through the CONDITION lever microswitch.

D. Motive Flow Shut-off Valve

A shut-off valve is installed in the main motive flow line. This shut-off valve
controls the supply to one of the jet pumps, and is normally in the open position.
When the valve is closed the jet pump is inoperative. The valve is located in the
same area as the LP valve.

E. Fuel Standby Pump

An electrically operated standby pump is installed on the base of the collector


tank. The standby pump is used:

- To supply fuel to the engine for start-up until the motive flow system is
operational
- As a standby pump to cater for failure of the motive flow system
- To pump fuel during crossfeed operations.

Non-return valves are fitted downstream of the standby pump and in the outlet
line of the primary jet pump. These non-return valves prevent reverse fuel flow
when either the jet or standby pumps are in operation. The standby pumps are
controlled by STBY PUMP switches in the flight deck roof panel. Electrical power
is 28V dc supplied from the emergency busbar or the related essential busbar.

When a standby pump is selected ON the applicable motive flow shut-off valve
is automatically closed. When the standby pump is selected OFF the motive flow
shut-off valve re-opens and an increase in fuel pressure will be noticed.

F. Crossfeed System

The two fuel tanks are connected by a crossfeed line and a crossfeed valve. This
crossfeed valve is controlled by a two-position X-FEED switch installed in the
flight deck roof panel.

The crossfeed system allows both engines to be supplied from one tank. The
crossfeed system also allows one engine to be supplied from both tanks. When
an engine is shut down, fuel can be provided to the remaining engine by alter-
nately feeding from each tank. Fuel cannot be transferred from one tank to the
other. To operate the crossfeed system:

- Select the applicable STBY PUMP to ON (this causes the related mo-
tive flow shut-off valve to close and the standby pump to operate)
- Select the X-FEED switch to OPEN (this causes the crossfeed valve to
open and the motive flow shut-off valve on the opposite side to close)

Fuel is then supplied to both engines from the fuel tank of the selected standby
pump. Closing the crossfeed shut-off valve will reverse the process and switch-
ing OFF the STBY PUMP will re-open the associated motive flow valve.

The crossfeed valve cannot open until a standby pump has been switched ON. A
crossfeed open condition is shown by a CAP X-FEED (green) caption.
OPEN

While the crossfeed valve changes from the open and closed positions, an
amber and black cross-hatch indicator, situated above the X-FEED switch, will
come on.

The crossfeed shut-off valve must be closed during normal conditions.

1. Engine Nacelle Fire Detection System


A. System Description

An independent fire detection system monitors each engine nacelle. The system
gives protection in three nacelle areas:

- The engine nacelle forward of the firewall (zone 1)


- Two zones aft of the firewall, on each side of the engine (zone 3a & 3b)

A single-loop firewire system provides protection for the three zones. The single-
loop is divided into three segments, one for each zone. The three segments are
connected together at the firewall.

The firewire has two temperature sensing functions. An alarm is given if the
entire zone is exposed to an average temperature or to a local area discreet
temperature. The normal maximum ambient temperature for all engine zones is
150°C. Alarms will be given for zones 1, 3a and 3b at an overall average tem-
perature of 250°C or local area discreet temperature of 460°C.

B. System Indications

The fire detection loops are connected to separate monitoring control units re-
mote from the fire zones. The control units are electrically connected to the flight
deck visual and aural warning indications.

When an engine fire is detected the monitoring control unit annunciates:

- A CAP L FIRE (red) caption for the left engine or

a CAP R FIRE (red) caption for the right engine

- A red fire light on the CONDITION lever(s)


- An audible warning (bell)

Hydraulic Power Supply

1. Hydraulic Power Supply


A. Main Sub-System

The main sub-system is supplied with power from two engine driven pumps,
one installed on each engine. The primary components in the normal systems
are:
- Reservoir
- Engine driven pumps
- Low pressure shut-off valve
- Low pressure warning switch
- Non-return valves
- Ground test connections
- Filters
- Pressure indication
- Accumulation
- Pressure relief valve

1. Reservoir

Hydraulic fluid is stored in a reservoir installed in the hydraulic bay of the


ventral pod. The reservoir contains both a main and an emergency cell inter-
connected at high level by a fluid transfer tube. Both cells are filled from the
one filler cap installed in the main cell.

The contents of the main cell are shown on a gauge in the lower centre
panel.

An overhead detector is installed in the main cell. If the temperature of the


fluid reaches 90°C (±5°C) it will be indicated by:

A CAP HYD (amber) caption

A lower centre panel HI TEMP (amber) caption.

When the temperature of the fluid falls back to 80°C the switch will de-
activate and the captions will go off.

Chapter 8.9 - Hydraulic System and Landing Gear
Hydraulic Power Supply

2. Engine Driven Pumps

Two engine driven pumps (one installed on each engine) provide hydraulic
power for the main system. The outputs from each pump are mixed to give
a single supply pressure of 2000 psi (±25 psi). If a pump or engine fails
to operate then the remaining serviceable pump is able to supply sufficient
pressure to operate all the related systems.

3. Low Pressure Shut-off Valve

A hydraulic Low Pressure (LP) shut-off valve is installed in the supply pipe
to each engine driven pump. The LP valve is electrically operated. Each LP
valve is controlled by a two-position left or right LP VALVE switch installed
in the HYDRAULICS section of the lower centre panel. A split caption is
installed above each switch.

When the LP valve is in the normal open position there is no indication on


the caption. Whilst the valve is in transit between open and shut, the caption
will show black cross-hatch. When the valve is in the shut position, the cap-
tion will show SHUT (white). If a failure occurs when the valve is in transit,
between the open and shut positions, it will be indicated by:

A CAP HYD (amber) caption

A left or right (black/amber cross-hatch) transit caption on the lower


centre panel remaining on.

Each LP shut-off valve will also move to the shut position when the associ-
ated engine CONDITION lever is moved to the FEATHER SHUT-OFF position
(this also closes the associated fuel LP valve).

Closing the hydraulic LP valve stops the supply of fluid to the hydraulic
pump.

B. Emergency System

The emergency hydraulic system will supply hydraulic power to lower the land-
ing gear and flaps. The primary components in the emergency system are:

- Hand pump
- Emergency selector
- Emergency cell indications

1. Hand Pump

Hydraulic fluid from the emergency cell of the reservoir is sent to an emer-
gency hand pump. The emergency hand pump is installed under the flight
deck floor between the pilots’ seats. The hand pump handle is installed on
the left side of the co-pilot’s seat.

Access to the hand pump is through a hatch in the floor. The handle is in-
serted into the hand pump and operated to provide pressure to the selected
system.
WARNING: TO AVOID THE LOSS OF HYDRAULIC FLUID THROUGH AN UNDIAGNOSED
LEAK IN THE NORMAL SYSTEM THE HAND PUMP MUST NOT BE USED IN
FLIGHT WITH THE EMERGENCY SELECTOR SET TO NORMAL.

2. Emergency Selector

The emergency hand pump is connected to an emergency hydraulic selec-


tor valve installed under the flight deck floor between both pilots’ seats.
The selector valve has three positions: NORMAL, FLAPS DOWN and GEAR
DOWN.

With the selector valve in the NORMAL position, hydraulic fluid can be
pumped into the main hydraulic power generation system. This hydraulic
fluid is used for maintenance checks and to increase hydraulic pressure in
the wheel brake system before engine start.

In the FLAP DOWN and GEAR DOWN positions the hydraulic fluid can only
be pumped into the FLAP or LANDING GEAR emergency system.

v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.9 - Hydraulic System and Landing Gear
Hydraulic Power Supply

2. Emergency Selector (continued...)

The selector valve must only be moved away from NORMAL when called
for in the aircraft drills. In flight, once FLAP DOWN or GEAR DOWN has
been selected, the selector cannot be returned to the NORMAL position.
The selector may move between FLAP DOWN or GEAR DOWN as required.
However, a low level sensor in the reservoir emergency cell will, when
activated, signal the flap isolation valve to close. This will allow only GEAR
DOWN to be selected and operated.

3. Emergency Cell Indications

A fluid low level sensor is installed in the reservoir emergency cell and
activates when the fluid level in the cell is 135% of that required to lower the
landing gear using the hand pump.

To ensure that the remaining emergency fluid is only used to lower the
landing gear, and not the flaps, a flap isolation valve will move to the shut
position. The flap isolation valve is located in the hydraulic bay.

The fluid low level sensor will give the following indications:

2. Landing Gear
A. General

The aircraft has a tricycle landing gear with two wheels on each leg. Each land-
ing gear retracts forward. The nose gear retracts into the front fuselage. The
main gear retracts into the underside of the engine nacelles. All landing gear
doors are mechanically operated by landing gear movement. The retraction,
lowering and locking are all achieved by hydro-mechanical means.

B. Main Landing Gear

The main landing gear retracts forward, raised and lowered by a hydraulic actua-
tor.

Duplicated microswitches on the dragstay and a single microswitch on the up-


lock hook (operated by stickers) indicate the gear position. Each main gear leg is
fitted with a weight-on-wheels (WOW) microswitch, operated by the movement
of the torque links.

C. Nose Landing Gear

The nose gear retracts forward, raised and lowered by a hydraulic actuator.

Microswitches on the downlock and uplock hooks are operated by the lock pins
on the landing gear casing to indicate the nose gear position.

The nose landing gear is fitted with a weight-on-wheels (WOW) microswitch and
is operated by the movement of the torque links.

The taxi and two landing lamps/lights are mounted on the front of the main cas-
ing.

D. Emergency Landing Gear Operation

The landing gear may be lowered in an emergency by setting the emergency


selector valve to GEAR DOWN and using the emergency hand pump. The selec-
tor valve is located under the floor between the pilot seats. Once the emergency
selector valve has been activated it cannot be reset and the gear cannot be
raised again in flight.

Selection and operation of the landing gear emergency lowering system must be
commenced in sufficient time to ensure the gear is down and locked before the
final approach to land.

E. Landing Selector Lever

The landing gear selector lever is protected from an inadvertent UP selection,


on the ground, by a solenoid operated locking pin. The locking pin is electrically
connected through the left main gear weight-on-wheels switch. This holds the
selector lever in the DOWN position when the wheels are on the ground.

After take-off, when the main gear wheels are off the ground, the solenoid is
energised, withdrawing the locking pin and allowing UP selection of the landing
gear. An override is provided, on the selector lever panel, which will release the
locking pin if required. If the selector lever will not move to the UP position after
take-off, the override should only be operated if it is essential for flight safety.

F. Indication and Warning

1. Position Indication

Landing gear position is indicated by dual filament captions on the landing


gear selector panel. Each gear position is identified by one green and one
red caption. The captions and legends are:

- NOSE (green) and NOSE (red) for the nose gear


- LEFT (green) and LEFT (red) for the left main landing gear
- RIGHT (green) and RIGHT (red) for the right main landing gear

Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.9 - Hydraulic System and Landing Gear
Landing Gear

1. Position Indication (continued...)

If a green caption is lit, it means that the gear is down and locked. When a
red caption is lit, it means the gear is unlocked or in transit. When both cap-
tions are out, it indicates that the associated gear is up and locked.

A reversionary standby downlock caption is provided on the right side con-


sole for each of the three gears. The captions are signalled by an indepen-
dent downlock microswitch for each gear.

A red light is installed in the handle of the landing gear selector lever. This
indicator light will come on if:

- Any landing gear is not locked UP 15 seconds after an UP selection


- Any landing gear is not locked DOWN 15 seconds after a DOWN
selection.

The light will remain on until all three gears are locked in the selected posi-
tion.

2. Audio Warning

An audio warning is heard if the landing gear has not been extended and
locked down and either of the following conditions exist:

- 15° flap or 25° flap has been selected


- either POWER lever is retarded to the flight idle position and the
speed is below 145 Kt IAS

A MUTE button on the landing gear selector panel allows the audio warning
to be cancelled but only if it is caused by power lever position. An audio
warning cannot be cancelled when it is caused by flap position and when
the gear is not locked down. When activated the audio mute select button
light will come on.

Movement of the POWER lever to forward of FLIGHT IDLE will extinguish the
button light and reset the audio warning system.

The normal brake control system is operated by depressing the pilot’s or co-
pilot’s left and right brake pedals, each of which operates a master cylinder and
a brake relay valve.

The normal brake control system receives hydraulic power from the hydraulic
power generation system. An accumulator, pre-charged with nitrogen, is sup-
plied with hydraulic pressure at 2,000 psi and provides stored pressure for a
limited number of brake applications if the hydraulic power generation system
fails.

Two dual anti-skid valves are in the normal brake control system and are con-
trolled by the anti-skid system. Skid protection is only available with the normal
brake system. The normal brake control system may be used with the anti-skid
system disarmed.

Wheel Brakes

D. Anti-Skid Control System

An electronic anti-skid control system is installed in the normal brake system.


It controls both brake pressure and wheel speed to prevent damage to the tyres
and achieve maximum braking efficiency.

E. Emergency Brake Control System

An emergency brake control system is available if the normal brake control sys-
tem fails. Hydraulic power is provided by the hydraulic power generation system
through an emergency brake control valve. This valve is operated by a cable
from the PARK BRAKE handle located on the left side of the centre console.

In the event of a normal brake control system failure, pull the PARK BRAKE
handle. This will activate a microswitch, which in turn will send an activation sig-
nal to the emergency brake control system.

F. Pressure Indications

A triple hydraulic brake pressure gauge on the lower centre instrument panel
indicates the Left and Right applied brake pressures for the normal brake control
system, and the applied brake pressure of the EMERGENCY brake control sys-
tem.

G. Warnings

Indications of low normal and low emergency brake accumulator pressures are
provided on the lower centre instrument panel next to the triple brake pressure
gauge.

The BRAKES LO PRES indications are LO MAIN and LO EMERG captions. They
are operated by low pressure switches and come on when the related accumu-
lator pressure falls to 1550 psi (minimum).

The captions will go off when the pressure rises above 1825 psi (maximum).

Wing Flap System

4. Wing Flap System


A. General

The wing flap system has a:

- Flap operation system


- Flap position control system
- Flap position indicators and warning system.

Hydraulic power at 2,000 psi is supplied by the main power generation system.
Each wing has double slotted flaps hinged to the rear wing spar.

B. Flap Operation System

Hydraulic actuators connected between the wing rear spar, flap hinge arm and
inboard flap hinge bracket operate the flaps.

The normal flap positions are:

- Take-Off ................................ 0° (Retracted), 9° and 15°


- Landing ................................ 15° and 25°
- Cruise ................................ 0°

The take-off and approach flap positions are controlled by the flap position con-
trol system and the retracted and landing flap positions are controlled by the full
stroke of the actuator. The flaps are held in the retracted and landing position by
2,000 psi hydraulic pressure.

C. Flap Position Control System

The flap position control system has:


- A flap selector lever
- Hydraulic Flap Control Unit (HFCU)
- Flap position transducers
- An Electronic Flap Control Unit (EFCU)

1. Flap Selector Lever

The flap selector lever is installed on the centre console. To move the flaps,
the lever tab must be lifted (against a spring) and the lever moved through
the quadrant. When the lever is moved from the 9 to 15 degree position an
additional lifting force is required. The position of the flap selector lever
provides electrical inputs to the EFCU.

2. Hydraulic Flap Control Unit (HFCU)

The HFCU contains the solenoid valves and control valves for normal and
emergency operations of the flap system.

3. Electronic Flap Control Unit (EFCU)

Operation of the extend and retract solenoid control valves is signalled by


the EFCU which receives inputs from the flap selector valve and dual feed-
back signals from the flap position transducers.

4. Flap Position Transducers

Flap position transducers, mounted on the flap support hinges, are con-
nected to the flap hinge arms. Each transducer contains two potentiometers
which provides outputs for:

- Flap position control and assymetry detection (one for each


potentiometer)
- Flap position indicator (right hand unit)

Ground Spoilers

5. Ground Spoilers
A. General

A spoiler is fitted on the upper trailing edge of each wing, between the fuselage
and the engine. The function of the spoilers, which can only be deployed when
the aircraft is on the ground, is to reduce (dump) wing lift. The spoilers are
electrically controlled and hydraulically operated.

B. System Operation

The spoiler system has two modes of operation - deploy and retract. The system
operates in the retract mode during all ground and flight phases, with the excep-
tion of the landing roll, during which the system operates in the deploy mode.

The spoilers are armed when the SPOILERS switch is set to ARM and the right
power lever has been moved forward to give take-off power.

Deployment occurs when the system has been armed and the following condi-
tions are met:

- One main landing gear weight-on-wheels switch is in the ground


position
- Both power levers are in ground range.

Spoiler retraction on the ground, after the landing run, is achieved by setting the
SPOILERS switch to OFF or by advancing either power lever for a go-around.

C. System Control

Operation of the spoiler surfaces is controlled electrically by the ARM switch


located on the coaming panel, micro switches on the power lever quadrants and
weight-on-wheels oleo switches. All three must be in the correct position for the
spoilers to deploy.

Ground Spoilers

1. Operation

The control switch must be set to ARM prior to the take-off roll. It is inter-
locked with the take-off configuration warning system which provides an
aural warning and a CAP CONFIG (red) caption if the switch is not set to
ARM.

In addition, when the control switch is set to OFF, a CAP SP INHB (white)
caption comes on. The system is only armed when the right POWER lever is
advanced for take-off.

The control switch remains at ARM throughout the flight and is only set to
OFF during taxi or maintenance.

After landing, the spoilers are retracted by moving one of the POWER levers
forward of FLIGHT IDLE or selecting the SPOILER control switch to OFF.

D. Indication

Both spoiler actuators are fitted with downlock micro-switches which give indi-
cation of spoiler positions.

When the spoilers are retracted there are no flight deck captions. When the
spoilers are deployed, a green cross-hatch caption comes on. The caption is ad-
jacent to the ARM switch on the coaming panel. If either spoiler fails to deploy,
the green annunciator will not come on.

If either spoiler deploys with both power levers not in the ground range,

a CAP L SPLR and/or R SPLR (amber) caption will come on.

A spoiler-unlocked warning control relay, which builds a one second time delay

into the L SPLR and R SPLR captions, prevents spurious warning during
touch-and-go operations.

Airframe De-Icing System

2. Airframe De-Icing System


The airframe de-icing system consists of pneumatic rubber boots on the leading
edges of the wings, as well as the horizontal and vertical stabilizers. Ice accretion
on the leading edges is removed by inflating the rubber boots with pressure regu-
lated engine bleed air.

A. System Description

The airframe de-icing system is supplied with High Pressure (HP) and high
temperature air from the HP bleed air system of both engines.

De-icer boots are located:

Outboard wing* (Left and Right)


Mid wing* (Left and Right)
Inboard wing (Left and Right)
Outboard horizontal stabilizer* (Left and Right)
Inboard horizontal stabilizer* (Left and Right)
Vertical stabilizer (Left and Right)

* The horizontal stabilizer, outboard wing and mid wing boots are of the clam
shell type: having separate inflatable upper and lower clamshell surfaces.

B. Control and Indication

The airframe de-icing system is controlled manually from the flight deck by
switches in the roof panel.

Switches in the roof panel control the operation of the de-icing boots. The
AIRFRAME switches are labelled AUTO CYCLE/OFF/RESET, CCT1, CCT2 and
CCT3. The AUTO CYCLE/RESET switch is a rocker switch spring loaded to the
center OFF position. The CCT switches are push button. Listed below each CCT
switch is the section of the aircraft de-icing system operated by the switch.

Airframe De-Icing System

B. Control and Indication (continued...)

When the AUTO CYCLE/RESET switch is set to AUTO CYCLE, two full cycles of
the de-icing boots occur. A timer switch controls the AUTO CYCLE operation and
the order in which the boots operate is as follows:

- CCT1 - 6 Seconds
- CCT2 - 6 Seconds
- CCT3 - 6 Seconds

A second cycle occurs immediately and then OFF.

During the cycle of operation green captions above the CCT switches come on.
17 psi pressure switches in each of the three circuits control the operation of
these captions.

The captions read CCT1 CCT2 CCT3


as the pressure switches operate.

The de-icing boots remain inflated while the CCT switch is in the ON position.
They deflate when the switch is released to the OFF position.

C. Warning Indications

If the bleed air pressure in the LP manifold is less than 15 psi a pressure switch
operates. This causes the LO PRES (amber) caption in the roof panel and the

CAP ICE (amber) caption to come on.

3. Engine Anti-Icing
Anti-ice protection is provided for the engine intake cowl, compressor intake and P2
probe. The system uses engine HP bleed-air which is sent continuously to the inlet
anti-ice shield. The HP bleed-air is also supplied to an anti-ice valve.

A. Control and Indication

Two switches in the roof panel labelled ENG/ELEV, LEFT/RIGHT, ANTI-ICE/OFF


control the anti-ice valve. When the switches are set to ANTI-ICE, the valves are
opened and hot air circulates through the engine intake cowling/ducts. Warm air
is also circulated around the P2 intake probes. The system is designed to ensure
that the heat is sufficient to prevent ice forming on the probe. The switches also
control the electrical power supply to the ELEVator horn heater mats through the
weight-on-wheels switch.

Summary of Operation

9. Summary of Operation
A. General

Icing conditions start when the Indicated Outside Air Temperature (IOAT) on the
ground or in flight is 5°C or less, with visible moisture in the atmosphere (e.g.
cloud, fog, rain, sleet or ice crystals) or as (surface snow, ice standing water or
slush) on ramps, taxiways or runways.

Icing conditions end when the above conditions no longer prevail and the IOAT is
10°C or more.

Do not operate the airframe ice protection unit if approximately a quarter to a


half inch of ice collects on the wing or tail boots. This is to prevent bridging of
ice over the airframe de-icing system boots whilst they are in operation.

The ENG ANTI-ICE protection must be set to ON before icing conditions are
entered.

During ground testing, with the engines not running, the propellers ice protec-
tion system is not to be operated for more than 10 seconds. If icing conditions
exist on the ground, propeller anti-icing should be set to ON when the engine is
running.

When engine anti-icing is required during take-off, refer to the AIRCRAFT PER-
FORMANCE DATA for corrections necessary to take account of loss of engine
power.

During ground testing ENG/ELEV anti-icing must not be set to ON for more than
10 seconds when the IOAT is more than 5°C.

The propeller anti-icing should be set to SHORT CYCLE when the IOAT is -5°C or
above and to LONG CYCLE when the IOAT is -5°C or below.

When flying in icing conditions it is recommended that regular gentle move-


ments of the flying controls are made. This is to prevent ice bridging between
the fixed and movable surfaces.

The SGs process and convert data received into video and deflection signals
for the electronic displays. The SGs also process and output decision height
information calculated from the radio altitude.

The two SGs are installed in the nose equipment bay and are cooled by integral
fans. Each SG interfaces with the on-side navigation system, No.1 and No. 2
AHRS, No. 1 and No. 2 DADC and the Flight Control System (FCS).

The SGs are linked by a digital data bus (Avionics Standard Communications
Bus or ASCB) that allows the transmission of data between the EFIS SGs.

F. EFIS Display Controller

The EFIS display controllers are installed on the left and right side of the coam-
ing panel and allow the selection of display modes and navigation data on the
associated EADI and EHSI.

The display controller provides the following functions:

- FULL/ARC: display of full compass mode (0-360°) or partial compass


mode (90° of heading) on the EHSI.
- MAP: the full compass mode is changed to the partial compass mode and
VOR/DME ground station positions can be displayed.
- WX: weather radar is diplayed and partial compass mode is set on the
EHSI.
- GSPD/TTG: selects ground speed or time to go for display on the EHSI.
- ET: selects lapsed time (and cycle start, stop and reset functions) to be
displayed on the EHSI.
- V/L (VOR/LOC): allows selection of VOR and LOC navigation display.
Alternate presses of the switch allows on-side or cross-side navigation
information to be displayed.
- Two bearing pointer control knobs (BRG) dedicated to the ‘Circle’ pointer
and ‘Diamond’ pointer on the associated EHSI allow the selection of OFF/
VOR1/ADF1/LNAV (Circle Pointer) and OFF/VOR2/ADF2/LNAV (Diamond
Pointer).
- A control consisting of two concentric rotary controls labelled ADI DIM/
DH/TST allows dimming of the EADI with the outer control while rotation of
the inner control sets the DH. Pressing the inner control test the EFIS, radio
altimeter and FD systems, dependant on system status and aircraft status.
If the outer (DIM) control is rotated fully counter clockwise (CCW) to its
OFF position, the EADI display is presented on the EHSI (lower) tube.
- A control, consisting of two rotary controls, labelled HSI DIM/WX/DIM
allows the EHSI display to be dimmed. This is done by rotation of the outer
control. The WX radar display on the EHSI is dimmed by rotation of the
inner control.

G. EFIS Reversionary Mode and Failure Indications

It is not possible to have a composite display of the EHSI and EADI on one tube,
due to the amount of data presented.

In the event of EADI failure, selection of the EADI DIM control on the display con-
troller to the fully CCW position allows the EADI display to be presented on the
EHSI tube. In the event of an EHSI failure, it is not possible to display the EHSI
display on the EADI tube.

1. SG (Symbol Generator) Failure

In the event of a single SG failure both the pilot’s and co-pilot’s displays are
driven by the remaining serviceable SG. This is achieved by selecting the
SG rev switch located on the coaming panel. The SG driving both systems
is annunciated in amber on each EADI (SG1/SG2). A failure of the two SGs
will result in the total loss of the EFIS displays. Flight data is also diplayed
on the standby instruments, primary altimeters, RMIs and DME indicators.

2. AHRS Failure

In the event of an AHRS failure the pitch scale, roll pointer and aircraft sym-
bol are removed from the associated EADI. The attitude sphere is “painted”
blue and the legend ATT (red) is displayed on the EADI.

On the EHSI the bearing pointers, course select pointer and readout, as well
as the heading select bug and readout, are removed. The legend HDG is
displayed in a red box at the top of the compass display.

To enable the EFIS to receive cross-side AHRS data, select the AHRS rever-
sion switch on the coaming panel to the serviceable system. The AHRS
selected is annunciated on the upper right side of the EADI (ATT1/ATT2).

A failure of both AHRS systems results in the total loss of primary heading
and attitude data. Standby heading and attitude data are available on the
standby instruments.

3. DADC Failure

In the event of a DADC failure the parameter legends (e.g. IAS, VS) are
displayed in red boxes on the EADI.

To enable the EADI to receive the cross-side DADC data, select the DADC
reversion switch on the coaming panel to the serviceable system. The
DADC selected is annunciated on the lower left side of the attitude sphere of
the EADI (ADC1/ADC2).

A failure of both DADCs results in the total loss of primary air data informa-
tion. Standby airspeed and altitude are available on the standby ASI and
standby altimeter.

The rotary reversionary selector switches are labelled BOTH1/N/BOTH2.


When set to:
- N: left hand systems are driven by No.1 SG/AHRS/DADC and right
hand systems by No.2 SG/AHRS/DADC
- BOTH1, No.1 and No.2 systems are driven by the No.1 sensor
- BOTH2, No.1 and No.2 systems are driven by the No.2 sensor

4. Navigation System Failure

In the event of a navigation unit failure, the glideslope, expanded localizer


and course deviation pointers are removed from the EFIS displays. On the
EADI a red NAV legend will appear in the GS window, and on the EHSI a red
NAV legend will appear in place of the VOR/LOC legend.

When the glideslope or localizer signal is invalid (and the NAV unit is tuned
to a localizer frequency), a parameter legend GS and/or LOC as appropriate
will be displayed in red on the EFIS displays.

The EFIS compares on-side and cross-side system data continuously. If a


difference between data exceeds predetermined values, or if data is invalid,
the EFIS shows an amber ‘C’ on the EADI, and shows the mis-compared
parameter on the EHSI.

The comparison monitor functions for the following parameters:

- Pitch
- Roll
- Heading
- Airspeed
- Localizer Deviation
- Glideslope Deviation

If a single SG fails, the serviceable SG compares the data on the on-side


and cross-side inputs. Any comparison failures will be indicated as de-
scribed above.

Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS)

2. Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS)


A. General

The AHRS is a dual, all attitude inertial sensor installation which provides aircraft
attitude, heading and flight data to the EFIS, flight control and weather radar
systems. The gyroscopic elements are rate gyros that are accurately aligned
with the axes of the aircraft. A digital AHRS reference unit integrates the rate
data to obtain heading, pitch and roll. Flux valves provide long term references to
the system.

The dual AHRS installation consists of the following equipment:


- Two AHRS reference units
- Two flux valves
- Two control/compensator units.
The standby attitude and heading instruments are:

- One standby artificial horizon


- Two Radio Magnetic Indicators (RMIs)
- One standby compass.
B. AHRS Reference Unit

Each AHRS reference unit is accurately installed in the nose equipment bay to
within 0.2 degrees of the respective aircraft axes to ensure it provides accurate
data. Each AHRS reference unit is cooled by an integral fan.

Two pitch and roll synchro outputs and three heading synchro outputs from each
AHRS unit provide data for:

- Pitch and Roll No.1 On-side EFIS


- Pitch and Roll No.2 Cross-side EFIS and FDR
- Heading No.1 On-side EFIS
- Heading No.2 Cross-side EFIS and FCS
- Heading No.3 On-side RMI

22
v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.11 - Avionics
Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS)

B. AHRS Reference Unit (continued...)

RMI No.1 has a heading output to the FDR. Both AHRS provide dedicated pitch
and roll signals to the FCS. The No.2 AHRS is also interfaced to the weather
radar system via outputs of pitch and roll which are used to stabilize the radar
scanner.

C. Flux Valves and Control/Compensator Units

The flux valves are mounted in the horizontal stabilizers. They interface with the
AHRS reference units through the compensator section of the associated control
/compensator unit. The control/compensator units are located on the left and
right side instrument panels.

D. AHRS Control and Operation

AHRS has four modes of operation: normal and basic for the attitude channel
and slaved and DG for the heading channel.

The normal mode utilizes TAS (from the DADCs) to compensate for acceleration
induced attitude errors. The loss of TAS causes the AHRS to revert to the basic
mode with reduced accuracy. A BASIC caption on the AHRS control unit comes
on when TAS is lost.

The slaved mode utilizes input from the flux valves to align the heading outputs
of the AHRS reference units. When it is not in the slaved mode, the AHRS oper-
ates in the DG mode to produce heading with reduced accuracy and conven-
tional gyro.

In the event of a flux valve failure, the DG mode is selected by a pushbutton


switch labelled HDG/DG on the AHRS control unit. A SLAVE caption on the
AHRS control unit comes on to indicate a slaving failure.

In the DG mode a rotary selector switch on the AHRS control unit, labelled FAST/
SLOW, provides a two speed slew facility.

Each AHRS reference unit has a test facility which is activated by a TEST push-
button switch on the AHRS control unit.

Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.11 - Avionics
Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS)

D. AHRS Control and Operation (continued...)

When TEST is selected:

- Attitude is indicated as the current attitude reading +10 deg pitch up


+20 deg right wing down
- Heading turns towards east at 3 deg per sec
- All AHRS controllers annunciators come on.

After 2.5 seconds, the indications revert to the individual information.

E. AHRS Indications

With the AHRS and EFIS systems functioning correctly, flight data is displayed
as follows:

- No.1 AHRS heading and attitude No.1 EFIS


- No.1 AHRS heading No.1 RMI
- No.2 AHRS heading and attitude No.2 EFIS
- No.2 AHRS heading No.2 RMI

In the event of a total EFIS failure, a heading display is still provided by the RMIs.

F. Standby Attitude and Heading Indication

1. Standby Artificial Horizon

The standby artificial horizon is installed in the centre instrument panel. It


contains a gyro and is physically and electrically independent of the AHRS.
The display provides an indication of aircraft pitch and roll, and includes an
inclinometer. The display shows pitch to 85 deg and roll to 180 deg. Ad-
ditionally it provides ILS glideslope and localizer data on two pointers with a
±2 dot scale.

Failure of attitude information (power failure or low gyro speed) is indicated


by a red OFF flag on the instrument. When a localizer frequency is set on the
No.1 NAV unit and the glideslope or localizer signal is invalid, a red G/S flag
and/or LOC flag will show as appropriate.

2. Standby Compass

A standby magnetic compass is installed above the main windshield. It is


provided with back lighting.

G. AHRS Failure

AHRS failure indications are described in the EFIS reversionary modes and
indications. Cross-side AHRS data is obtained by setting the appropriate AHRS
rev (reversionary) rotary switch, located on the coaming panel, to the remaining
serviceable AHRS.

H. AHRS Power Supplies

Each AHRS reference unit has two 28V dc power inputs, primary and auxiliary.
The normal power source is the primary power source. If the primary power
source is interrupted, the auxiliary power source is automatically engaged. Each
AHRS reference unit is also supplied with a 26V ac from the 26V ac avionic
busbars.

The AHRS power supplies are arranged to ensure that at least one AHRU is
supplied with power at all times, both on the ground and in flight, and during all
operating conditions. To achieve this, the AHRS power supplies are switched by
WOW slave relays on the ground.

The standby artificial horizon is normally supplied with power from the avionic
emergency busbar.

A switch, labelled STBY INST POWER, located on the centre instrument panel,
allows the power supply to the standby artificial horizon (and the standby
altimeter) to be switches from the emergency switched avionic busbar to the
standby battery busbar. This action is only to be carried out if the aircraft batter-
ies become exhausted.

The No.1 RMI is supplied with power from the 28V dc emergency switched
avionic busbar whilst the No.2 RMI is supplied with power from the 28V dc right
essential busbar.

v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.11 - Avionics
Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS)

H. AHRS Power Supplies (continued...)

The standby compass does not require electrical power for its operation.

In the event of a single generator failure, the AHRS, standby artificial horizon and
the RMIs will continue to operate normally without any reversionary switching.
A double generator failure will cause the No.2 AHRS and the No.2 RMI to fail.
The No.1 AHRS, standby artificial horizon and the No.1 RMI will continue to be
powered.

Each SG can derive data from either AHRS.

Under normal operating conditions, failure of an ac inverter will cause primary


attitude and heading to be lost from the appropriate EFIS. Primary heading and
attitude are restored on the failed side by selecting the appropriate AHRS rev
(reversionary) rotary switch, located on the coaming panel, to the remaining
serviceable AHRS.

CAUTION: THE AHRS TAKES 3 MINUTES TO RUN UP AND 2 MINUTES TO RUN


DOWN. THE AIRCRAFT MUST NOT BE MOVED DURING THESE RUN UP
AND RUN DOWN TIMES OR DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO THE GYROS.

B. Digital Air Data Computers (continued...)

The No.1 DADC is connected to the No.1 pitot head and the No.1 static system.
The No.2 DADC is connected to the No.2 pitot head and the No.2 static system.

The TAT interface is provided by a single, dual, element temperature probe. Each
DADC is connected to a dedicated element.

Each DADC has two electrically independent ARINC 429 outputs which provides
interface to the EFIS, FDR and pressurization systems. Primary altitude for each
pilot is provided by an interface between each DADC and its related electric
altimeter.

C. Air Data Displays

1. Altitude Display and Altitude Alert Indication

Altitude is displayed on electric altimeters located on the right side of each


EADI. Each altimeter has a baro-correction knob on its bezel. The baro-cor-
rection setting for each DADC is displayed on the associated altimeter in
millibars (mb) and inches of mercury (in HG).

The altitude alert function is controlled by the altitude select knob on the
co-pilots instrument controller. The set altitude (when set) is shown in cyan
digits in the top right corner of each EADI, below the annotation ASEL.

As the aircraft reaches 1000 ft. from the selected altitude (above or below),
the selected altitude changes to amber and will flash for 5 seconds. This
is accompanied by an amber annunciator on each altimeter flashing and a
two second audio warning in the pilots headset and cockpit speakers. The
selected altitude and annunciators remain at amber until the aircraft is 250
ft. from the selected altitude.

Within 250 ft. the selected altitude display shows in cyan. If the aircraft de-
viates from the selected altitude by more than 250 ft., the selected altitude
will flash in amber for 5 seconds and then go steady.

2. Airspeed, Vmo and Low Airspeed Awareness Indication

Airspeed is displayed on the left side of the EADI by digits on a vertical tape
and on a rolling drum.

Vmo (Maximum Operating Speed) is displayed on the airspeed tape as a


vertical red line, starting at Vmo and extending parallel to the airspeed tape
for speeds greater than Vmo. When the airspeed tape indicates Vmo or
greater, the digital IAS readout turns red.

Low airspeed awareness is displayed on the airspeed tape as a vertical


red line, starting at the airspeed calculated by the DADC to be 1.07 Vs and
extending parallel to the airspeed tape for speeds less than this value.

There are four adjustable airspeed bugs which can be displayed. The bugs
are selected and set by the IAS control knob on the right instrument remote

C. Radio Management Unit (RMU)


Control of the navigation system is achieved by two RMUs, one for each NAV
Unit. The RMUs are located on the centre instrument panel, to the left and right
of the engine instrument panel.

The RMU is a color CRT display based controller that controls the navigation
(NAV) and the communications (COMMS) systems by select keys. Additionally
each RMU has the ability to be switched from its on-side NAV Unit to the cross-
side NAV Unit.

The RMU has five tuning areas (windows) on its screen (COM, NAV, ADF, ATC
and MLS). MLS is not installed in the aircraft and this window remains blank.
Each window contains all the information associated with a particular function
e.g. the ADF window shows the operating frequency and operating mode. Each
window is controlled by a select button and concentric turning controls/knobs.

To change pages, press the PGE switch until the desired page is displayed. To
display cross-side information press the 1/2 switch. A second press will return
the display to the on-side selection.
D. Navigation System Displays and Failure Modes
The VOR, ILS and ADF information is primarily displayed on the EFIS, VOR and
ADF data from each NAV Unit can be set to display on the RMIs. Navigation data
from system 1 is shown on the single bar pointers (RMIs) and bearing No.1
pointer (ball) on the EFIS. Navigation data from system 2 is shown on the double
bar pointers (RMIs) and bearing No.2 pointer (diamond) on the EFIS. VOR or
ADF selections are made on the EFIS controller for the on-side EFIS and on each
RMI for each RMI. Different selections can be made on each EFIS and each RMI.

ILS data from the No.1 NAV Unit is also displayed on the standby artificial
horizon and is used as a back-up display in the event of a total failure of the EFIS
system.

If a NAV Unit fails, the information from the serviceable NAV Unit is displayed on
the cross-side EFIS display by pressing the V/L button on the appropriate EFIS
controller.

C. Audio Control Panel (ACP)


Two ACPs, one located on the left and one located on the right instrument panel
give selection and control of the audio received and transmitted by each pilot.
The ACPs also change the digital sound on the digital bus to analog signals for
the headsets and speakers. Each ACP controls on-side facilities (audio, mic
signals and speaker).

The ACP allows individual selection of VHF1, VHF2, Interphone (INT) or pas-
senger address (PA) for transmissions by buttons on the facia. The buttons are
interlocked so only one facility can be selected at a time. Transmission on the
selected radio is achieved by the operation of a PTT switch.

Received audio is controlled by rotary push-buttons. The appropriate receiver


channel is selected when the required button is out. The push-buttons are not
interlocked and can be selected as required. The speaker is controlled by a
rotary push-button. Turning the button will adjust the speaker sidetone level. The
volume of the headset and the speaker can be individually controlled by volume
knobs on the ACP.

If power is lost or an ACP fails, pressing the EMER button on the ACP will cause
all emergency VHF (1) comms and VHF (1) nav audio (analog format) to be
output directly to the headset.

Each ACP interfaces with the audio warning system. All audio warnings are
supplied to the headsets and flight deck speakers simultaneously. Warning audio
signals to the speaker cannot be turned off by the speaker switch.

D. Communication and Audio System Power Supplies


Power for the No.1 and No.2 Radio Communications Units are supplied from the
28V dc unswitched emergency avionics busbar and the 28V dc right essential
avionics busbar respectively.

The No.1 ACP is supplied from the 28V dc left essential busbar. The No.2 ACP is
supplied from the 28V dc right essential busbar. Both ACPs are also dual-
supplied from the 28V dc switched emergency avionics busbar to enable starts
and smoke drills.

Flight Control System

6. Flight Control System (FCS)


The Flight Control System (FCS) consists of:

- A Flight Control Computer (FCC)


- A Mode Selector.

A. Flight Control Computer (FCC)


The FCC is installed under the cabin floor aft of the flight deck bulkhead.

The FCS functions as a Flight Director (FD) and provides lateral and vertical cues
on the EADI for the following modes of operation:

1. Heading (HDG) Mode

Momentary depression of the mode selector HDG button engages the


heading mode, if the compass system from the selected pilot is valid. When
the mode is engaged, the mode selector button will indicate a green HDG
caption. In this mode the command bar will indicate roll commands on the
EADIs to achieve the selected heading. The heading mode can be cancelled
by capture of another lateral mode, standby mode or momentary reselection
of the HDG button.

2. Navigation (NAV) Mode

Momentary depression of the mode selector NAV button causes the FCC to
engage either:

- NAV ARM and HDG if the aircraft is outside the 1 dot/5 deg capture
zone
- NAV mode if the aircraft is within the capture zone with valid NAV
and compass signals.

When the mode is engaged, the mode selector button will indicate an amber
ARM or a green CAP caption and the EFIS will indicate a white NAV arm or
green NAV caption as appropriate.

2. Navigation (NAV) Mode (continued...)

In the NAV ARM mode the heading mode provides steering commands to
capture an intercept angle set by the heading bug on the EHSIs. When the
capture zone is entered, the heading commands are automatically cancelled
and the nav mode produces the steering commands.

The navigation mode is cancelled by selection of another lateral mode*,


standby mode or momentary reselection of the NAV button.

*NOTE: Back Course at any time. HDG if NAV is captured, though not if
NAV is armed when HDG is on as well.

3. Approach (APR) Mode

Momentary depression of the mode selector APR button causes the FCC to
engage either:

- NAV ARM, APR ARM and HDG or


- APR CAP

The mode engaged depends on the aircraft’s position relative to the ILS.
Operation of the APR mode is similar to the NAV mode but existing verti-
cal guidance is maintained (and annunciated) until glideslope capture.
Glideslope capture is locked-out until localizer capture.

During the approach, glideslope gain is a function of the altitude from the
Radio Altimeter (Rad Alt). The gain is reduced as the aircraft gets closer to
the glideslope transmitter. If the Rad Alt fails the glideslope gain is controlled
as a two stage function as follows:

- Time from glideslope capture (and)


- Time from middle marker

The approach mode is cancelled by selection of another lateral mode,


standby mode or momentary reselection of the APR button.

4. Indicated Airspeed (IAS) Hold

Momentary depression of the mode selector IAS button causes the FCC
to engage IAS hold if the DADC output is valid. The mode selector button
indicates a green IAS caption and a green caption is presented on the EADIs
when the IAS hold mode is engaged. The FCC produces pitch commands
to maintain the IAS present when the mode is selected. This is displayed as
the vertical deflection of the pitch command bar on the EADIs.

The mode is cancelled by selection of another vertical mode, standby mode


or momentary reselection of the IAS button.

5. Vertical Speed (VS) Hold

Operation of the vertical speed mode is the same as the IAS mode except
that the aircraft is controlled to the vertical speed present when the mode
is selected. Cancellation of the mode is the same as cancellation of the IAS
mode.

6. Back Course (BC)

Momentary operation of the mode selector BC button causes the FCC to


engage the BC mode or if outside the reverse ILS capture zone it arms the
mode. On selection outside the capture zone the BC button will indicate an
amber ARM caption and a white BC caption is shown on the EADIs. When
the capture zone is entered the mode selector BC button indicates a green
CAP caption and the caption on the EADIs indicate a green BC.

Back course approaches can be carried out on any single direction ILS ap-
proved for BC operations.

When BC is displayed, glideslope data is locked out and not displayed.

7. VOR Approach
The VOR approach mode permits precision lateral guidance on an approach
to a runway, provided the runway has a VOR located on the extended centre
line.

The mode is enabled by momentary depression of the mode selector APR


button with the appropriate RMU tuned to the VOR frequency.

8. Altitude (ALT) Hold


Momentary depression of the mode selector ALT button causes the FCC to
engage the altitude hold mode, if the DADC data is valid. When the mode
is engaged the mode selector button indicates a green ALT caption and a
green ALT caption is shown on the EADIs.

The FCC produces commands to maintain the aircraft at the altitude at


which the mode is selected. The commands are shown by the vertical
deflection of the command bar on the EADIs.

The mode is cancelled by a selection of another vertical mode, standby


mode or momentary reselection of the ALT button.

9. Altitude Select (ALT SEL)


Momentary depression of the mode selector ALT SEL button causes the
FCC to arm the ALT SEL mode. The mode selector ALT SEL button indicates
an amber ARM and ALT ARM is shown on the EADIs.

The desired altitude is selected by the ALT SEL control (on the co-pilot’s
instrument controller). The FCC then generates commands for the aircraft to
acquire the selected altitude. As the aircraft approaches the selected altitude
the mode selector ALT SEL button changes to indicate a green CAP and the
EADIs change to show ALT CAP.

On reaching the selected altitude, the altitude hold mode is engaged and
vertical commands are given on the command bar to maintain the selected
altitude.

9. Altitude Select (ALT SEL) (continued...)

The ALT SEL mode cancels any other vertical mode. It can itself be can-
celled by selection of another vertical mode, standby mode or reselection of
the ALT SEL button.

10. Standby Mode (SBY)

Selection of SBY cancels all previously selected FD modes and removes


the command bars from the EADIs. When SBY is pressed (and held) all the
mode captions come on and the FD warning flag on the EADIs come into
come into view. When SBY is released all the mode captions extinguish and
the FD warning flag goes out of view.

11. Go-Around (GA)

Momentary operation of the GA switch on the left POWER lever causes the
FCC to engage the GA mode and cancel all other selected modes.

The FCC produces commands to achieve a wing level, approximately 8 deg


pitch up.

If autopilot is engaged when GA is selected it will be disengaged.

Selection of any lateral mode commands lateral guidance, but maintains the
pitch angle. Selection of a vertical mode cancels the GA mode.

C. Control of the Flight Control System


The Flight Control System (FCS) receives navigation, course and air data infor-
mation from the NAV Unit (via the Symbol Generator), AHRS and DADC sys-
tems, No.1 or No.2 as selected by the pilot/co-pilot.

The switching is controlled by pushbutton switch/annunciators with the split


legend “PILOT/CO-PILOT”. The switches are labelled “FCS CONTROL” and are
located on the left and right main instrument panels. The annunciation on a black
background is PILOT (green) or CO-PILOT (white).

The switching system operates such that when selected to a particular pilot, the
air data AHRS and NAV information selected to that pilot’s EFIS is also selected
to the flight control system. When the switch is selected to the other pilot, all
selected flight director modes are cancelled and must be reselected by the pilot
to whom the FCS control has been switched.

D. Flight Control System Fail Modes


The FCC has internal fault monitoring circuits. In the event of a FCC failure a red
FD FAIL warning annunciator is displayed on the top left center of the EADIs. All
other FD cues and annunciators are removed from view.

If an autopilot is fitted and the monitoring circuits detect a “hard-over” the auto-
pilot is automatically disengaged.

potentially dangerous targets directly in front of the aircraft but outside of
the selected range. TGT is shown on the screen.
RCT Turns on/off the Rain Echo Attenuation Compensation technique (REACT)
mode. The REACT mode compensates for the attenuation of the radar
signals as it passes through rainfall. The presence of a cyan field indi-
cates areas where compensation is not possible and bad weather may be
located.

9. Autopilot (AP)
A. General

The AP converts the steering commands from the FCS into control surface
movement to automatically follow the commanded flight path. It is controlled by
an AP controller installed in the centre console to the rear of the engine controls.
When the AP is engaged, the FCC provides an automatic electric trim facility.

B. Autopilot Controller

The AP controller provides the means of engaging the AP and yaw damper. In
addition it also gives manual control of the AP by a TURN KNOB and PITCH
WHEEL. The controls on the AP controller are as follows:

1. AP ENGAGE Switch/Caption

The AP ENGAGE switch is used to engage the autopilot. Engaging the AP


automatically engages the yaw damper (YD). The AP may be engaged with
the aircraft in any reasonable attitude and will couple automatically to any
FD modes selected on the mode selector upon engagement.

Engagement of the AP causes the AP ENGAGE and YD ENGAGE switch/cap-


tion to come on. Subsequent pressing of the switch will cause the AP to
disengage but the YD will remain engaged. When the AP is engaged, the
automatic electric trim (pitch only) will trim the aircraft if a continuous out-
of-trim condition occurs.

2. YD ENGAGE Switch/Caption

When the AP is not engaged, the YD ENGAGE switch can be used to engage
the yaw damper only. If the AP is engaged and the YD is disconnected, the
AP will not disconnect. The AP must have two valid sources of attitude and
one valid source of heading before it can be engaged.

3. SOFT RIDE Switch/Caption

The SOFT RIDE mode reduces AP gains whilst still maintaining stability in
rough air. When this mode is selected, a green caption in the switch shows
ON. SOFT RIDE mode can be used with any FD mode although it will be
cancelled on localizer capture. The SOFT RIDE switch should only be used
in turbulence.

4. BANK LIMIT Switch/Caption

When in the HDG mode, this facility limits the FD roll command bank. A
green caption in the switch shows ON when the mode is on. Bank limits are
5 and 13 deg when heading error is less or more than 10 deg respectively.

5. PITCH Wheel

Rotation of the PITCH wheel results in a change of pitch attitude. The


change in pitch attitude is proportional to the rotation and in the direction of
the wheel movement.

Movement of the PITCH wheel cancels the ALTitude hold and the ALTitude
SELect modes.

When the VS or IAS mode is selected movement of the PITCH wheel


changes the air data command reference.

PITCH wheel movement has not effect when the FD has captured the
glideslope.

4. TURN Knob

Rotation of the TURN knob out of the detent (centre) position results in a roll
command. The roll angle is proportional to and in the direction of rotation of
the TURN knob.

The TURN knob must be in the detent position before the AP can be en-
gaged. Rotation of the TURN knob cancels any lateral mode selected.

C. AP OUT Switches (ICO)

The AP OUT switches (instinctive cut-out) are mounted on the pilots’ control
columns and are connected to the AP disconnect circuit. They provide a means
of disengaging the AP and YD.

If the AP is engaged, the first push of the switch will disconnect the AP and the
automatic electric trim.

The second push, (or the first push if the AP is not engaged) will disconnect the
YD.

If a switch is pushed and held for more than three seconds, the AP and YD will
be disconnected.

D. Master Power Switch

The AP master power switch is located on the coaming panel. The switch is
labelled AP/TRIM PWR ON/OFF and controls the power supplies to the AP (FCC,
including FD), YD and electric trim.

E. Captions

A cluster of captions are located on the coaming panel. These indicate as fol-
lows:

- AP DISC (red)
- YD OFF/TRIM WARN (red-split caption)
- TRIM UP/TRIM DN (amber-split caption)
- TRIM L/TRIM R (amber-split caption)

1. AP DISC

Disconnection of the autopilot causes the AP DISC (red) caption to come


on.

The AP DISC caption comes on for two seconds following a pilot induced
disconnection, and is continuously following an AP sensed failure condition
or AHRS failure. A continuous warning is cancelled by pushing the AP OUT
switch.

An output to the Audio Warning System (AWS) causes a ‘cavalry charge’ to


sound following an AP disconnect. The horn sounds at the same time (and
duration) as the AP DISC caption.

2. YD OFF/TRIM WARN

Following a yaw damper disconnection a YD OFF (amber) caption comes


on. The caption follows the same logic as the AP DISC caption, as does the
AWS operation of the ‘cavalry charge’.

The TRIM WARN (red) caption comes on to indicate a sustained servo


operation in excess of 20 seconds.

3. TRIM captions

The split TRIM UP/TRIM DN and TRIM L/TRIM R (amber) captions (on the
coaming panel) come on to indicate that the aircraft is out of trim in the
pitch or roll axis. The pitch captions (also on the autopilot controller) show
the direction of excessive trim. The roll captions show the direction in which
the aircraft must be trimmed to reduce the out of trim condition.

F. Pilot in Command Switch

Each pilot has a split switch/caption which allows either pilot to couple the
autopilot and Flight Control System (FCS). The inputs to the Flight Control Com-
puter (FCC) are switched to use the appropriate on-side NAV, DADC and AHRS
systems.

The split switch/caption will come on either PILOT (green) or COPILOT (white).

If PILOT is selected, the FCS receives data from NAV1, DADC1 and AHRS1.
If the DADC or AHRS are selected to the reversionary mode, then number 2
system data is supplied to the FCS. The same logic applies to the selection of
COPILOT using the number 2 system and number 1 reversionary selections.

G. Autopilot Cut-Out

The autopilot will disengage if any of the following conditions exist:

- Pressing the AP ENGAGE button on the controller when it is lit


- Pressing either pilot’s AP electric trim switch once
- Pressing an AP OUT switch
- Pressing the GA switch on left POWER lever
- Operation of FCS CONTROL - PILOT/COPILOT switch
- Setting AHRS to reversionary mode
- Stick shaker operation
- CAP “Press to Test”
- ICO operation
- Manual over-ride by the pilot beyond a point at which a servo
clutch becomes disengaged.

H. Flaps Input

Inputs from the flap system indicate flap movement up or down. These inputs
are used to reduce the control gain of the autopilot system during the time that
the flaps are in motion.

Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS)

11. Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS)


A. General

The GPWS uses a Ground Proximity Warning Computer (GPWC) to provide


alerts and warnings for inadvertent flight into terrain.

For flight in situations where the pilot must land without full flaps, the GPWS
can be desensitized to eliminate unwanted alerts and warnings. This feature
can also be utilized during operation at airports where steep approaches or
incompatible terrain clearances are involved.

B. System Interfaces

The GPWS utilizes signals from the:

- ADCs (vertical speed, airspeed)


- Navigation receivers (glideslope deviation)
- AHRS (roll attitude)
- Radio Altimeter (radio height)
- Gear and flap systems (aircraft configuration)
- EFIS (back course input)
- Stall warning system (no callouts during stick shake)

The PILOT/COPILOT FCS CONTROL switches data from No.1 and No.2 sys-
tems (ADC, EFIS, NAV receiver, and AHRS) to the GPWC. Audio alerts are
output to all crew headsets and cockpit speakers.

Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS)

C. Modes of Operation

There are 6 modes of operation:

- Mode 1 - Excessive Descent Rate


- Mode 2 - Excessive Closure Rate to Terrain
- Mode 3 - Descent After Take-Off
- Mode 4 - Insufficient Terrain Clearance
- Mode 5 - Descent Below Glideslope
- Mode 6 - Altitude Callouts/Excessive Bank Rate

1. Mode 1 - Excessive Descent Rate

Mode 1 provides alerts and warnings for high descent rates into terrain.
When the outer alert envelope is penetrated, the message “SINKRATE” is
given every 3 seconds and the GPWS alert lamps illuminate.

When the inner warning envelope is penetrated, an urgent “PULL UP”


message with increased emphasis is given continuously. This warning
starts 10 seconds before predicted ground impact. The GPWS lamps are
illuminated.

Both the inner and outer warning envelopes are shifted to allow for
glideslope deviations above and below the beam centreline to ensure that
the warnings are timely and reduce possible nuisance warnings.

2. Mode 2 - Excessive Closure Rate to Terrain

Mode 2 provides 2 types of alerts and warnings to help protect the aircraft
from impacting the ground.

a. Mode 2A is activated when:

- Flaps are not in the landing position


- GPWS FLAPS OVRD is not selected

70
v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.11 - Avionics
Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS)

a. Mode 2A (continued...)

- The aircraft is not on ILS approach or glideslope mode has been


manually cancelled or the aircraft is more than 1.3 dots below the
glideslope.

When the warning envelope is penetrated, a “TERRAIN-TERRAIN”


message is given once and the GPWS alert lamps are illuminated.

If the envelope penetration continues after the initial message, the


normal “PULL UP” message occurs repetitively and the GPWS lamps
remain illuminated.

When the envelope is excited, the message will cease but the GPWS
lamps remain illuminated until:

- A gain in barometric altitude of 300 ft. or


- An accumulation of radio altitude and time equal to 200,000 ft.
seconds occurs.

If during this time the terrain closure rate exceeds 2,000 ft/min the
“TERRAIN-TERRAIN” message will be repeated every three seconds.
If the warning envelope is re-entered the repetitive “PULL UP” mes-
sage will be given and the accumulated combination value towards
300 ft. is reset to zero.

b. Mode 2B is activated when:

- The flaps are in the landing position or GPWS FLAPS OVRD is


selected or whilst on an ILS approach
and:
- The glideslope function is not cancelled
- The aircraft is not more than 1.3 dots below the glideslope
- The mode 2B envelope is penetrated the “TERRAIN-TERRAIN”
message is given and the GPWS lamps are illuminated

71
v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.11 - Avionics
Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS)

b. Mode 2B (continued...)

- If the landing gear is DOWN and either flaps are down or GPWS
FLAPS OVRD is selected a repetitive “TERRAIN” message is given.
Otherwise a repetitive normal “PULL UP” message is given when
the previous is complete.
- When the warning envelope is exited the messages cease and the
GPWS lamps go out.

3. Mode 3 - Descent After Take-Off

Mode 3 provides alerts for excessive altitude loss after take-off or a go-
around from below 245 ft.

When a mode 3 alert occurs, a “DON’T SINK” message is given every


three seconds and the GPWS lamps illuminate.

Selection of GPWS FLAPS OVRD increases and the allowable altitude loss
before the alerts and warnings are given. An additional desensitizing of the
envelope occurs above 700 ft. AGL at the rate of 5 ft. additional altitude
loss allowed per second.

4. Mode 4 - Insufficient Terrain Clearance

Mode 4 provides 3 types of alerts based on radio altitude, airspeed, and


flight mode. These are subdivided into modes 4A , 4B and 4C.

Mode 4A is activated during cruise and approach with the landing gear up,
4B during cruise and approach with the landing gear down and the flaps
up or GPWS FLAPS OVRD selected and 4C during take-off. Warnings for
4A, B and C cannot occur simultaneously.

a. Mode 4A

A mode 4A alert occurs when its envelope is penetrated and causes


a message to be repeated every 3 seconds and the GPWS lights to
illuminate.
72
v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09
Aircraft Operating Manual
Chapter 8.11 - Avionics
Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS)

a. Mode 4A (continued...)

If the aircraft speed is below 168 kts the message is “TOO LOW
GEAR”. Above 168 kts is “TOO LOW TERRAIN”.

b. Mode 4B

The mode 4B envelope is selected whenever the landing gear is down


below 750 ft. AGL or GPWS FLAPS OVRD is selected. If the mode 4B
envelope is penetrated the GPWS lights illuminate and one of 3 mes-
sage is given.

Flaps retracted and the landing gear down and airspeed less than
shown on the envelope and GPWS FLAPS OVRD not selected, a “TOO
LOW FLAPS” message is repeated every three seconds.

Landing gear up, having previously been down below 700 ft. AGL to
select this mode initially and; airspeed below the figure in the enve-
lope a “TOO LOW GEAR” message is repeated every 3 seconds.

If the airspeed is above the figure in the envelope and GPWS FLAPS
OVRD is not selected, a “TOO LOW TERRAIN” message is repeated
every 3 seconds.

b. Mode 4C

Mode 4C is based on a minimum terrain clearance, or floor, that


increases with radio altitude during take-off. The floor is 3/4’s of the
highest value of radio altitude that has occurred during take-off. The
mode 4C radio altitude on take-off continues until the approach mode
is activated or until the radio altitude decreases below 30 ft. The up-
per limit expands with airspeed. If a go-around is being performed,
the warning floor is enabled at 245 ft.

Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS)

b. Mode 4C (continued...)

If the aircraft descends below accumulated floor value, which will


occur if the aircraft commences a descent after take-off, or the terrain
rises below the aircraft at a steeper gradient than the aircraft is climb-
ing, the “TOO LOW TERRAIN” message is repeated every 3 seconds
and the GPWS lamps illuminate. The alert and warnings continue until
the aircraft has gained sufficient clearance from the terrain.

5. Mode 5 - Descent Below Glideslope

Mode 5 provides alerts and warnings for excessive glideslope deviation


below the beam on front course ILS approaches. Depending on the sever-
ity of the deviation, 2 levels of “GLIDESLOPE” message are given. The low
volume alert is a ‘soft’ alert and the normal volume alert is referred to as a
‘hard’ alert. The time between messages is variable according to deviation
and radio altitude. It decreases as the severity of the mode 5 condition
increases.

In addition to the messages G-SLOPE warning lights illuminate with mode


5.

For simultaneous mode 5 and mode 1 alert conditions, “GLIDESLOPE”,


pause, “SINKRATE” messages are repeated every 3 seconds.

6. Mode 6 - Altitude Callouts/Excessive Bank Rate

a. Altitude Callouts

“MINIMUMS-MINIMUMS” is called once per approach as the aircraft


descends through the decision height (DH) altitude set on the indica-
tor. For approaches when minimums callout is not required the DH
setting should be se below 50 ft.

No GPWS lamps illuminate with this callout. If the callout cannot be


made due to existing messages of a higher priority, the callout is
latched off until the aircraft climbs through 925 ft AGL, when it is
reset (no callout made). 74
v.1.00.0 FOR SIMULATOR USE ONLY 04SEPT09

Chapter 8.11 - Avionics
Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS)

a. Excessive Bank Angle

A “BANK ANGLE” callout warns against excessively high bank angles


at low altitude. Excessive roll rate advances the warning. The callout
is repeated every 3 seconds until the flight condition is corrected.

No GPWS lights are illuminated with this callout.

D. Self Test

GPWS/GPWC can be manually self tested on the ground by operating the


GPWS test switch on the systems test panel (right console).

E. GPWS Power Supplies

The GPWC receives 28V dc from the avionics left essential busbar via a 1 amp
circuit breaker.

F. GPWS Control and Indication

GPWS and GPWC are activated when the power supplies are available and
deactivated when the power supply is removed from the avionics left essen-
tial busbar. There is no separate/dedicated on/off switch. The six modes are
activated when their envelopes are penetrated and deactivated when the alert
situation no longer exists in accordance with the mode descriptions. The high-
est priority warning is always the one broadcast when more than one warning
is activated.

1. Indications

On the left and right coaming panels there are identical indications and
control buttons for the GPWS.

GPWS illuminates in accordance with the warnings described in the mode


descriptions.

G-SLOPE illuminates with the warnings of glideslope deviation in mode 5


unless it is inhibited.

Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)

12. Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)


A. General

The TCAS provides the flight crew with data on possible airspace danger from
other aircraft.

The TCAS receives external data from other aircraft transponders. It uses this
data to calculate the range, the altitude and the bearing of the other aircraft.
From this calculated data, the TCAS informs the flight crew of the possible
collision danger (from other aircraft) and the necessary avoidance measures to
be taken.

TCAS can only interrogate aircraft that are fitted with Air Traffic Control Radio-
Beacon System (ATCRABS) transponders (mode C or A/C) or mode S tran-
sponders.

B. System Interfaces

The TCAS gets data about the:

- Control and operation of the system from the radio management


unit (RMU)
- Position of the landing gear from the extension and retraction
system
- Aircraft-on-ground from the AOG switching system
- Airspeed from the Air Data System (ADS)
- Attitude valid from the Flight Director system (FD)
- Attitude and heading from the Attitude and Heading Reference
System (AHRS)
- Radio Altitude from the Radio Altitude system (Rad Alt)
- Mode S transmitter signal from the ATC system
- Audio-warning inhibit signal from the GPWS

- Audio integrating system


- Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS)

C. Modes of Operation

1. Manual Control

The RMU gives manual control of the modes of operation of the TCAS. The
set modes of operation, controlled from the RMU ATC/TCAS control page,
are the:

- ABOVE/NORMAL/BELOW
- TCAS RANGE
- INTRUDER ALTITUDE
- TA DISPLAY

a. ABOVE/NORMAL/BELOW

The ABOVE/NORMAL/BELOW section of the control page, allows the


flight crew to set the altitude display on EFIS, at the display limits that
follow:
- ABOVE: 7000 ft. above and 2700 ft. below the aircraft
- NORMAL: 2700 ft. above and below the aircraft
- BELOW: 2700 ft. above and 7000 ft below the aircraft

b. TCAS RANGE

The TCAS section of the control page, allows the flight crew to set the
TCAS range display on the EFIS. The ranges are 6nm, 12nm, 20nm or
40nm. The 6nm and the 12nm ranges also show a 2nm dotted range-
ring on the display.

c. INTRUDER ALTITUDE

The INTRUDER ALTITUDE section of the control page allows the flight
crew to set either REL (relative) or FL (flight level) target acquisition on
the EFIS.

When REL is set, the altitude of the target aircraft is shown in relation
to own aircraft altitude. When FL is set, the altitude of the target aircraft
is shown as a flight level.

NOTE: If FL is set on the RMU, the EFIS display returns to a REL display
after 15 seconds.

d. TRAFFIC ADVISORY (TA) DISPLAY

The TA section of the control page allows the flight crew to set either
the AUTO or MANUAL modes of operation.

1. In the AUTO mode, no TCAS targets are displayed on the EFIS


until a TA intruder aircraft is detected. The TA intruder aircraft
is then displayed on the EFIS. At the same time, all other TCAS
traffic (proximity or non-threat) are also displayed.
2. In the MANUAL mode, all TCAS targets (maximum of 12) are
displayed on the EFIS.

f. No-Bearing Data

When the system has range but no bearing information to other aircraft
the data is displayed in the lower right corner of the EHSI display.

g. TCAS Failure

TCAS failures are indicated on the EFIS by removal of the TCAS symbol
(as appropriate) and an annunciated fail message ‘TCAS FAIL’

NOTE: TCAS cannot provide an alert for traffic conflicts with aircraft without
operating transponders.

D. Threshold Warnings

1. TCAS divides the airspace around the aircraft into seven variable-sensitivity
threshold levels, dependant on the aircraft altitude. These threshold levels
give the threat level to the aircraft and generate the related traffic advisory
warnings.

2. If another aircraft is 25 seconds (lower threshold) or 45 seconds (upper


threshold) from the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) the system identifies
the aircraft as an intruder. The intruder aircraft is shown on the EFIS as a
TA display. At the same time, the traffic-advisory audio warning is sent to
the flight crew headsets and the flight deck speakers.

3. If the intruder is 20 seconds (lower threshold) or 35 seconds (upper


threshold) from the CPA, the system identifies the aircraft as a threat. The
threat aircraft is shown on the EFIS as a RA display. At the same time the
resolution advisory audio-warning is sent to the flight crew headsets and
the flight deck speakers. The audio messages gives the recommended
vertical change of altitude (shown on the VSI) to prevent a collision with the
threat aircraft.

Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)

13. Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)


A. General

The ELT system consists of the following items:

- An ELT
- An ELT antenna
- A remote switch panel

The ELT is an automatically activated emergency location device that transmits


a sweeping audio signal on the VHF and UHF emergency frequencies. The ELT
will operate for approximately 50 hours. The ELT is located in the top of the rear
equipment bay and the antenna is mounted in the top surface of the bay, to
the left of the fin. The remote switch panel is mounted on the main instrument
panel. The ELT must not be used except for emergencies.

B. System Operation

1. Electrical Power Supply

The ELT has an internal battery pack (sealed non-rechargeable type) that
can be replaced when the ELT is removed from the aircraft. 28V dc from
the right essential busbar is used to provide manual control of the ELT
from the remote switch panel.

2. Automatic Operation

The ELT will automatically switch on and transmit when it is subjected to


a 2 g force. The ELT can be manually reset from the switch on the front or
from the remote switch panel.

3. Manual Operation (from remote switch panel)

The remote switch panel has a two position rocker switch, annotated ARM
and ON, and an indicator light. When the switch is set to ON the ELT is
turned on. When the switch is set to ARM, the ELT will operate automati-
cally in the event of a crash.

A. General

1. The GNS-XLs Flight Management Computer (FMC) is an integrated system


designed to give the flight crew centralized control for the navigation sen-
sors, computer-based flight planning, fuel management and communica-
tions management. It has a full-color flat-panel LCD display, alpha-numeric
and function keys, a Global Positioning Sensor (GPS), and a navigation
data base All these are housed in a panel-mounted Control Display Unit
(CDU).

2. The GNS-XLs Flight Management System is approved for enroute and


terminal operations in accordance with AC 20-138. The GNS-XLs Flight
Management System is approved for enroute and terminal operations when
RAIM is available or unavailable. The system, while capable of flying instru-
ment approaches, is currently not approved for approach procedures in the
J-41. In addition to the global positioning sensor, position information is
accepted from VOR/DME radios The navigation sensor information inputs
are blended to form a single composite position. Accuracy of the compos-
ite position is enhanced by using the best characteristics of each type of
sensor. The internal GPS sensor has excellent overall characteristics and
will usually be the dominant sensor during blending. However, when RAIM
is available, the GPS sensor is the sole contributor to the position. If the
FMS fails enroute, pilots must navigate via VORs and/or radar vectors

NOTE: The Honeywell EDZ-805 Electronic Flight Instrument System, as installed,


does not support the scaling specified in TSO C129 for approach opera-
tions. Many airlines are not currently approved to use the GNS-XLs Flight
Management System for instrument approach procedures.

NOTE: RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) is a quality factor used


to determine the accuracy of the GPS position. It is an internal function of
the GPS receiver and determines the accuracy of its navigation solution.

3. The navigation database is updated on a 28-day cycle by way of memory


card. The worldwide database contains over 50,000 waypoints, navaids
and airports It also contains altitudes at appropriate waypoints, SID, STAR,
AIRWAY and APPROACH procedures. In addition to this database, the
memory can store up to 999 operator-generated waypoints.

4. Additional capabilities of the FMS include direct navigation from present


position to any waypoint with trip plan and fuel plan functions available.

5. There is capability for creating a PSEUDO-VORTAC (selected course) to any


waypoint and establishing an offset parallel course. The NAV radios can be
tuned through the system or by using the individual control head.

B. AFIS

NOTE: AFIS features are not modelled in this simulation.

C. Waypoints

1. Due to the way the FMS database is structured, waypoints must have
unique identifiers. However, some duplicate ICAO identifiers exist for more
than one waypoint. In these cases, the waypoint identifiers are renamed
in the database. Two naming conventions are used, one for four-character
identifiers and one for five-character identifiers.

2. Four-character waypoints keep the first four characters and the last two
characters of the ICAO airport identifier, as shown in the following example:

1) ‘MAl 1” at KPRC becomes “MAl 1 RC” in the database.

3. Five-character waypoints keep the first five characters and add the last
character of the ICAO airport identifier, as shown in the following example:

1) “MA27L” at KOAK becomes “MA27LK” in the database.

D. NDBs

1. NDBs stored in the internal database are listed in Jeppesen publications


with a two or three-digit identifier. To distinguish these NDBs from VHF
navaids, you must add an “NB” suffix to the database identifier, as shown
in the following example:

1) ‘lA” NDB becomes “IANB” in the database.

E. Intersections

1. Most intersection waypoint identifiers consist of five letters. However,


three, four and five-letter and number combinations exist. To access these
waypoints, enter the identifier from the Jeppesen chart.

F. Offset Waypoint

1. An offset waypoint is a set of coordinates determined by a selected radial


and distance from a previously defined or database waypoint. An “*“
following the parent waypoint denotes an offset waypoint. More than one
offset waypoint is allowed from one parent using ~ ~ ~ etc., as identify-
ing notation.

2. The entries required to establish an offset waypoint are the radial from the
parent waypoint in degrees and tenths of degrees, along which the offset is
established and the distance from the parent waypoint to the offset way-
point.

G. Definitions

1. The following general terms and abbreviations are used:

a. Field

1) A line of information.

b. Cursor

1) Yellow rectangular box placed over a field to enter or change the


information in that field. The cursor is normally out of view but
will reappear by depressing the Line Select keys on either side of
the screen When information is entered into a field and the ENTER
key depressed, the cursor will move to the next usable field or
disappear from the screen when the last field is entered. Blinking
of a field indicates that the computer has not accepted the entry
because of unreasonable or invalid information.

flash, and a flashing yellow asterisk will appear adjacent to the new mes-
sage.
5. A list of these messages is located in Chapter 2 of the GNS-XLs FMS
Operator’s Manual.

J. Annunciators NOTE: This feature is not implemented in this simulation.

K. Operating Procedures

1. The FMS provides the flight crew with navigation and database information,
which can result in a significant workload reduction. Full workload reduc-
tion is only obtainable when the system is operated as intended, including
proper preflight initialization and in-flight changes. The FMS must always
be monitored after any in-flight changes.

2. In general, the FMS should be used to provide the best possible navigation-
al picture to the flight crew while keeping workload to a minimum in con-
gested areas. When abnormal or emergency situations arise, the flight crew
must decide whether the time and attention required to modify the FMS
would compromise flight safety. In the event that flight plan changes occur
at inopportune times or in areas of high traffic density, the crew should not
hesitate to use conventional navigation and flight path control methods.

L. FMS Initialization

1. The FMS initialization is normally done by the First Officer.


2. The Allied Signal Aerospace Operator’s Manual, Global Wulfsberg GNS-XLs
Flight Management System, Manual Number 006-08845-0000, Revision
7, dated Jan/96, or a later approved revision, must be available to the flight
crew. Prior to flight, the crew must verify (by the Program Verification read-
out on the bottom of the CDU initialization page) that Part Number 17960-
0102 SMO4 (or later approved software modification) is displayed.
3. The Internal Data Base (IDB) must be updated to the latest revision every
28 days. Updating may be accomplished with an Allied Signal update card.
Out-of- date data shall not be used.
4. When latitude/longitude data, transferred from the IDB, is displayed on the
CDU, the flight crew must assure that it is a reasonable position for the
requested identifier.

5. When the FMC sequences from Enroute to Terminal, the CDI sensitivity
change may cause the airplane to bank slightly if the cross-track error is
greater than 0.5 NM because of increased sensitivity of the CDI needle.
Due to the nature of some leg types that are required to fly missed ap-
proach procedures, the airplane must be flown manually or by use of the

c) FLIGHT PATH ANGLE .............................................................. INSERT

(1) INSERT or VERIFY the desired flight path angle. The FPA field
prefills with the default (DEE) value programmed on the VNAV
DATA page if this waypoint was accessed from the FPL page.
If accessed from the NAV or DIRECT page, the FPA field prefills
with the (DIR) value, If an FPA is manually entered, the FPA field
changes to (MAN). A climb FPA cannot be programmed, but the
direct FPA field will display the up angle between the aircraft’s
present altitude and the altitude constraint that was entered. To
cancel an FPA, INSERT “0”. The field changes to dashes indicat-
ing no FPA is programmed and that the vertical deviation output is
invalid and no vertical deviation information will be displayed.

b. Initializing DATA with Cruise Altitude

1) When the cruise altitude is entered it will automatically highlight the


transition altitude for entry, and after that entry it will highlight the de-
fault FPA. To keep the defaults for those, press ENTER twice. After that
it will return to Vnav 1/2 page. DATA will always display on the bottom
of the VNAV pages. LSK L5 will backlight it. Pressing ENTER if DATA?
is highlighted will open the VNAV DATA page.

S. FD/AUTOPILOT USE WITH LNAV

1. When the LNAV is selected as the data source to the EHSI, the EHSI will
display FMS navigational information and course steering data will be avail-
able to the Flight Director/Autopilot.

NOTE: Both pilots have the ability to independently select the FMS navigation system
(LNAV) to their EHSI.

W. DISENGAGING THE FLIGHT DIRECTOR IN FMS MODE

1. Deselect the NAV mode, or select HDG mode on the MS-400 Flight
Director Mode selector.
2. COUPLING THE FMS TO THE AUTOPILOT

1) Transfer control of the autopilot to the desired Flight Director System.


With the autopilot disengaged, couple the FMS to the flight director.
Engage the autopilot by selecting AP ENGAGE on the autopilot panel.
The autopilot is now receiving FMS steering data.

NOTE: FMS DR or loss of TAS will cause the FMS steering to go invalid and the
autopilot to revert to the basic autopilot mode (heading hold). An FMS invalid
(red warning flag) on the EHSI may not necessarily cause the FMS steering
to become invalid. FMS steering of the aircraft with an FMS flag in view is
permitted if the aircraft’s position is continuously monitored.

X. UNCOUPLING THE FMS FROM THE AUTOPILOT

1. There are three ways to uncouple the FMS from the autopilot:

1) Press the AP DISC (ICO) button on either control wheel,


2) Press the AP Engage Switch located on the PC-400 Autopilot Con-
troller, or
3) Deselect the NAV mode on the MS-400 Flight Director mode selector.
