Below what voltage or oil temp is a GPU assisted start recommended?
Voltage below 24.5V
or
Oil temp below 5°C
Min battery voltage for dispatch
24.2 V
What conditions must be met before the COND lever is set to LOW on engine start?
Oil Pressure……………..VERIFY RISE
Ng……………………………12% MINIMUM
What is the procedure to follow when starting a cold engine with oil temperature below 5°C?
Set COND Lever to HIGH as soon as Ng is above 12%. Set COND Lever to LOW when Ng is above 51%
What is the procedure to follow when starting a warm engine with ITT above 130°C?
After pressing START, wait until ITT reaches 130°C before COND Lever is set to LOW
What button do you press and hold to confirm critical takeoff items are configured correctly?
TO/GA Switch
What is the initial pitch attitude on rotation?
12.5° UP
What is the recommended minimum airspeed for Flaps UP after takeoff?
120 KIAS
How long after takeoff must power be reduced to Maximum Climb Power?
5 minutes
What is the Typical Climb ITT and how do you determine it?
As torque is reduced below 83.3% at high altitude according to the torque tables, ITT will remain approximately constant during the final climb, establishing a typical climb ITT value for the particular engine being operated.
What is the minimum recommended propeller RPM in cruise?
1580
What is the BALKED LANDING/GO-AROUND procedure?
- AP/TRIM DISC Switch…PRESS & RELEASE
- TO/GA Switch…………….PRESS & RELEASE
- POWER Lever…………….MAX T/O POWER
- Pitch Attitude…………….7.5°
- Vertical Speed Ind……..POSITIVE
- Flaps………………………….T/O
- Landing Gear……………..UP
- Flaps………………………….AS REQ’D
(If UP, 120 KIAS min)
What are the engine cool-down requirements before shutdown?
a. 60 seconds since touchdown, and
b. 30 seconds since propeller feathered
Under what conditions should the IGNITERS be switched ON?
- Operation on wet or contaminated runways.
- Flight in heavy precipitation.
- Flight in moderate or greater turbulence
- During inadvertent icing encounters prior to the INERT SEP being selected to ON.
- When near fuel exhaustion as indicated with a L/R FUEL LOW Caution.
Under what conditions should the inertial separators be switched ON?
Prior to flight operation in visible moisture (clouds, rain, snow or ice crystals) with an OAT of +5°C (41°F) or less.
What is the recommended max altitude when operating unpressurized and why?
14,000 ft so as to avoid inadvertently deploying the passenger oxygen masks.
