Additions, deletions, and revisions to existing POH material will be identified by a verlical revision bar (black line) in the outside margin of the applicable page, next to the change.

When a revision causes expansion or deletion of text or illustration which results in unchanged material appearing on a different page, that page will be identified by a revision bar in the outer margin next to the page number.

At the bottom of each page, opposite the page number, there will be the original issue date of the page. As the page is subsequently revised, the original issue date will be fobwed by the current revision number and date. If a new page is issued, it will be identified by having the same original issue and revision date and have a revision bar in the outer margin next to the page number.

The revision bar will only indicate the current change on each page. Physical relocation of material or the correction of typographical or grammatical errors, outside of the material revised, will not be identified by a revision bar.

ENOINE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS TERMINOLOGY

Adjustable Minimum Prop Pitch in flight

Beta Range

Condiiion Lever

Constant Speed Range

ITT Gauge

The Power Control Lever position selects the minimum pitch in flight (6" to 12") when forward of the idle detent. This pitch can only be reached when the propeller is underspeeding at low power and low airspeed conditions.

The range of propeller pitch where the beta valve in the Constant Speed Unit (CSU) controls the pitch. Forward of the idle Detent only the minimum pitch is limited by the beta valve. In case of a propeller overspeed the CSU moves the propeller to a coarser pitch. Below flight regime. i.e. aft of the Idle Detent, the pneumatic section of the CSU limits the propeller speed to an underspeed condition and the beta valve, i.e. PCL .

position, directly controls the propeller pitch.

This lever selects the gas generator idle speed and fuel cutoff, and feathers the propeller when in the CUTOFFIFEATHER position.

The engine operating range where the propeller is out of Beta range and operating at a constant rpm, under control of the propeller governor.

A temperature measuring system that senses gas temperature in the turbine section of the engine.

Manual Override (MOR) The device that controls engine power in case of a pneumatic failure in the engine control systems. It can also control engine power in case of a power control lever failure.

Power Control Lever

The lever used to control engine power, from reverse (see Beta Range) to maximum power (see Constant Speed Range).

Propeller Feather This is a propeller pitch condition which produces minimum drag in a flight condition.

Propeller Governor The device that keeps propeller rpm constant by increasing or decreasing propeller pitch through a pitch change mechanism in the propeller hub. See Beta and constant speed Range.

2. VFR Niiht.

3. IFR Day incl. CAT 1 approaches, single pilot.

4. IFR Niiht incl. CAT 1 approaches, single pilot.

5. Flight into Known Icing Conditions.

PNEUMATIC DEICING BOOT SYSTEM

I The wing and tail leading edge pneumatic deicing boot system must be activated at the first sign of ice formation anywhere on the aircraft, or upon annunciation from an ice detector system installed), whichever occurs first.

The wing and tail leading edge pneumatic deicing boot system may be deactivated only after leaving icing conditions and after the aircraft is determined to be clear of ice.

Issued: June 10.1994 Revision 9: September 1,1999

Page 93: Pilatus PC-12 Pilot s Information Manual

SECTION 2 LIMITATIONS

ICING LIMITATIONS

Icing conditions can exist when:

The outside air temperature (OAT) on the ground and for takeoff, or total air temperature (TAT) in flight, is 10°C or colder, and visible moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog or mist with visibility of one mile or less, rain snow, sleet and ice crystals).

The OAT on the ground and for take-off is 10°C or colder when operating on ramps, taxiways or runways, where surface snow, ice, standing water, or slush may be ingested by the engine, or freeze on the engine, or the engine nacelle.

There are visible signs of ice accretion on the aircraft.

Flight in icing conditions is only approved with all ice protection systems, generator 1 and generator 2 serviceable.

During flight in icing conditions, if there is a failure of any of the aircraft ice protection systems or generator 1 or generator 2, exit icing conditions. Contact ATC for priority assistance if required.

Prolonged flight in severe icing conditions should be avoided as this may exceed the capabilities of the aircraft ice protection systems.

During flight in icing conditions or flight with any visible ice accretion on the airframe. the following flap maximum extension limits apply:

- With operational airframe pneumatic deice boots 15" FLAP.

- After failure of the airframe pneumatic deice boots O" FLAP.

In the event of a balked landing go-around with residual ice on the airframe. the flaps should not be retracted from the 15" position.

Flight in freezing rain, freezing fog, freezing drizzle and mixed conditions causing ice accretion beyond the protected areas of the pneumatic boots is not approved.

The aircraft must be clear of all deposits of snow, ice and frost adhering to the lifting and control surfaces immediately prior to takeoff. I In the event of a balked landing (go around) with residual ice on the airframe, the landing gear and flaps may not fully retract after selection.

Operation of the pneumatic de-ice boot system in ambient temperatures below -40°C and above +4VC may cause permanent damage to the boots.

Issued: June 10, 1994 Revision 6: Dec 6. 1996

Report No: 01973-001 2-13

Page 94: Pilatus PC-12 Pilot s Information Manual

SECTION 2 LIMITATIONS

The lelt wing ~nspection light must be operative prior to flight into known or forecast icing condit~ons at night.

SEVERE ICING CONDITIONS

Severe icing may result from environmental conditions outside of those for which the airplane is certificated. Flight in freezing ram, freezing drizzle, or mixed icing conditions (supercooled l~quid water and ice crystals) may result in ice build-up on protected surfaces exceeding the capability of the ice protection system, or may result in ice forming afl of the protected surfaces. This ice may not be shed using the ice protection systems, and may seriously degrade the perlormance and controllability 01 the airplane.

During Il~ght, severe lclng conditions that exceed those for which the airplane is certificated shall be determined by the following visual cues. If one or more of these visual cues exists, immed~ately request prior~ty handling from Air Traffic Control to facilitate a route or an altitude change to exit the icing conditions:

unusually extensive ice accumulation on the airframe and windshield areas not normally observed to collect ice

accumulation of ice beyond the active portions of the wing pneumatic boots

Care must be taken when using the autopliot that tactile cues, such as increased aileron forces, are not masked by the autoptilot function. Periodically disengage the autopilot to check lor abnormal forces.

SECTION 3 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

3.0 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

3.1 GENERAL

The recommended action to be taken in case of failure or in emergency situations are contained in this section. Some situations require rapid action, leaving little time to consult the emergency procedures. Prbr knowledge of these procedures and a good understanding of the aircraft system is a prerequisite for safe aircraft handling.

KNOW YOUR AIRCRAFT AND BE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WlTH IMPORTANT EMERGENCY PROCEDURES.

The emergency procedures use the terms ' Land as soon as possible" and "Land as soon as practical". For the purpose of these procedures the meanings are as follows:

Land as soon as possible - Land without delay at the nearest airport where a safe approach and landing is reasonably assured

Land as soon as practical - Landing airport and duration of flight are at the discretion of the pilot. Extended flight beyond the nearest suitable airport is not recommended

A. WARNING SYSTEMS: .

The PC-12 is fitted with a comprehensive warning system.

The Central Advisory and Warning System (CAWS) contains:

RED WARNINGS which require immediate action.

AMBER CAUTIONS which advise that a system is not functioning or is an alert to a precautionary situation.

GREENBLUE ADVISORIES which indicate a system is functioning.

Whenever a CAWS red or amber caption illuminates, an aural gong will sound in the audio system and the MASTER WARNING or CAUTION will illuminate.

The EIS contains red warnings and amber caution lamps to advise of out of limit parameters on the engine display. With a steady red or amber comes a blinking LCD display.

B. AURAL WARNINGS

Aural warnings are provided to warn of an aircraft or flap overspeed, stall conditions and possible landing gear-up approach to landing. When the autopilot is engaged, aural warnings also indicate the approach to, or deviation from, selected altitude and1 or autopilot disconnects or system failures.

CAWS and EIS warnings and cautions will remain illuminated as long as the initiating condiiion exists. The MASTER WARNING and CAUTION lamps should be pressed to reset them for furlher failures once the failure is identified.

3.8 EMERGENCY DESCENT

3.8.1 GENERAL

The type of emergency descent will depend on the kind of failure and Ule aircraft situation.

Two types of descent are considered:

1. Engine failure, aircraft flown for maximum range.

2. Engine running, maximum descent rate.

The factors to be considered are:

I) Cabin altitude and oxygen duration.

ii) Electrical power endurance.

ili) Distance to suitable landing area.

iv) Flight conditions IMC, VMC, ICING.

v) Minimum safe altitude.

vi). Fuel reserves.

The pilot must consider the situation and priorities and adjust his actions accordingly.

The four step procedure listed under paragraph A should be among the basic airplane emergency procedures that are committed to memory. It is important that the pilot be proficient in accomplishing all four steps without reference to this manuat.

A. Autopilot Malfunction (abrupt control and/or airplane motion, or AP TRIM CAWS warning annunciation with a warning tone).

Accomplish Items 1 and 2 simultaneously.

1. Airplane Control Wheel - GRASP FIRMLY and regain aircraft control.

2 Autopilot Disengage Switch - PRESS to disengage the autopilot (pilot or co-pilot wheel).

3. Aircraft - RETRIM manually as needed.

4. AUTOPllOT circuit breaker - PULL. (Avionic 2 busbar)

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RE-ENGAGE THE AUTOPILOT FOLLOWING AN AUTOPILOT OR AUTOTRIM MALFUNCTION.

B. Autopilot Disengagement. The autopilot may be manually disengaged by any of the following methods:

1. Press the Autopilot Disengage switch on the pilot's or copilot's control wheel.

2. Actuate the airplane Electric Stabilizer Manual Trim Engage switch (momentary).

3. Press the autopilot (AP) mode selector switch (disengage).

4. Pull the AUTOPILOT circuit breaker (Avionic 2 busbar).

5. AVIONICS MASTER 2 switch to the off position.

C. Airplane Stall - Automatic Autopilot disengagement will occur by the stall warning system if stick shaker speed is approached.

D. Aileron (amber ROLL) mistrim:

NOTE

In the case of an aileron out of trim force for longer than 6 seconds, a steady, yellow, ROLL annunciation will appear on the EADI. The annunciation will flash after 10 seconds if not attended to. Failure to retrim at this point may result in either roll forces exceeding the authority of the autopilot or a sharp rolling motion upon autopilot disconnect. Autopilot operation in the presence of a continuing roll annunciation should not be continued.

WPILATUSW SECTION 3 PC12 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

3.21.2 AMPLIFIED MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES

The following paragraphs are presented to supply additional information for the purpose of providing the pilot with a more complete understanding of the recommended course of action for an emergency situation.

1. An autopilot or autopilot trim disengage occurs when there is an uncommanded deviation in the airplane flight path due to a system malfunction. In some cases, and especially for autopilot trim, there may be little to no airplane motion, yet the red AP TRIM annunciator may illuminate and an alert tone sound. The KFC 325 autopilot incorporates monitors that detect abnormal airplane motion, therefore, i f the airplane for any reason is moved rapidly in pitch or roll the autopilot may be disconnected automatically.

The main concern in reacting to an autopilot or autopilot trim malfunction, or to an automatic disconnect of the autopilot, Is in maintaining control of the airp\ane. \mmediate\y grasp the control wheel and press the Autopilot Disengage Switch. Manipulate the controls as required to safely maintain operation of the airplane within all of its operaling limitations. Manual trim should be used as needed to relieve control forces.

With the AP and YD inode OFF or disengaged, the servo motors are no longer connected to the airplane's flight controls; autopilot trim will also be isolated from the alternate pitch trim and rudder trim system. Finally, the AUTOPILOT circuit breakers must be pulled to completely disable these systems.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RE-ENGAGE THE AUTOPILOT FOLLOWING AN AUTOPILOT1 AUTOTRIM MALFUNCTION UNTIL CORRECTIVE SERVICE ACTION HAS BEEN PERFORMED ON THE SYSTEM.

2. It is important that all portions of the autopilot system are preflight tested prior to each flight In accordance with the procedures published herein in order to assure their integrity and continued safe operation during flight. As a safety feature, autopilot functions cannot be engaged prior to successfull completion of the preflight test (mode controller TEST), due to an integrated system lock-out.

NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

4.1 GENERAL

This section provides the normal operating procedures. All of the procedures required by regulation as well as those procedures which have been determined as necessary for the operation of thi i airplane are provided.

Normal operating procedures associated with optional systems or equipment which require supplements are contained in Section 9, Supplements.

Pilots must familiarize themselves with these procedures to became proficient in the normal operation of the airplane.

It is recommended that these procedures be followed for the normal operation of the aircraft, however a Short Checklist has been produced on an easy to use card. When the aircraft has been in extended storage, had recent major maintenance or been operated from prepared unpaved surfaces the full preflight inspection procedure given in thi i section is recommended.

PILOTS WHO FLY AT HlGH ALTITUDE MUST BE AWARE OF THE PHYSIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH PROLONGED FLIGHTS AT SUCH ALTITUDES. DEHYDRATION AND THE SLOW ONSET OF HYPOXIA MAY BE NOTICED IN THE PASSENGERS.

PASSENGER COMFORT MAY BE INCREASED BY AN OCCASIONAL INTAKE OF FLUIDS. PROLONGED HlGH ALTITUDE FLIGHTS REQUIRE WARM CLOTHING AND MONITORING OF THE CABIN TEMPERATURE AND THE PHYSICAL STATE OF THE CREW AND PASSENGERS.

4.23 FLIGHT IN ICING CONDITIONS

Icing conditions can exist when:

The Outside Aa Temperature (OAT) on the ground and for takeoff, or Total Air Temperature (TAT) in flight, is 10°C or colder, and visible moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog or mist with visibility of one mile or less, rain snow, sleet and ice crystals).

The OAT on the ground and for takeofl is 10°C or colder when operating on ramps, taxiways or runways, where surface snow, ice, standing water, or slush may be ingested by the engine, or freeze on the engine, or the engine nacelle.

There are visible signs of ice accretion on the aircraft.

Severe icing may result from environmental conditions during flight in freezing rain, freezing drizzle, or mixed icing conditions (supercooled liquid water and ice crystals) which may result in ice build-up on protected surfaces exceeding the capability of the ice protection system, or may result in ice forming all of the protected surfaces.

Information on the removal of snow, ice and frost from the aircrafl is provided in Section 10.

Freezing rain, freezing fog. freezing drizzle and mixed conditions and descent into icing clouds from above freezing temperatures can result in excessive accretion of ice on the protected surfaces. They may also result in runback ice forming beyond the protected surfaces over a large percentage of the chordwise extent of the lifting surfaces. This ice cannot be shed and it may seriously degrade performance and control of the aircraft.

Flight In severe icing conditions should be avoided, as this may exceed the capabilities ot the a~rcraft ice protection systems. Severe icing conditions can be identified by excessive Ice accretion on Ihe visible pans of the airframe including the prote~ted surfaces. This might affect the aircraft performance and handling qualities, and cause significant loss in powerplant performance. If this occurs request priirity assistance from ATC to facilitate a route or an altitude change to exit the icing conditions.

Operation on deep slush or snow covered runways greater than 1 inch (2.5 cm) may result in contamination of the flap drive mechanism resulting in failure to retract. I f possible operation on deep slush and snow compacted runways should be avoided.

For takeon and landing on runways covered with surface snow, ice, standing water, or slush, the inertial separator must be open.

For flight in heavy precipitation the inertial separator must be open.

Detection of icing conditions and ice accretion on the aircraft is by pilot visual identification on the left hand wing leading edge. A wing inspection light is provided for night time operations.

Prior lo entering icing conditions, activate all ice protection systems as required.

If not already activated, select all systems as required, immediately icing conditions are identified.

The procedures lor selection ol the ice protection systems are provided in Section 4.

SECTION 4 NORMAL PROCEDURES

During all icing encounters or times with visible ice accretion on any part of the airframe fhe flaps must not be extended beyond certain limits. These limits eliminate the possibility of tailplane stall which results in an uncontrolled aircraft pitch down moment.

- With operational airframe pneumatic deice boots 15" flap - After failure of the airframe pneumatic deice boots 0' flap.

The minimum recommended speeds for icing encounters and with residual ice on the airframe are :-

Flight in icing conditions is only permitted with full operational status of all aircrafl de- icing systems. This includes :-

- Propeller Deice - Wing and Horizontal Tail Deice Boots - Inertial Separator - Windshield Deice - Probes Deice - Stick Pusher Ice Mode

The propeller de-ice is aclivaled from the DE-ICING switch panel by the switch labeled PROP being moved 10 ON. When activated and operating correctly, the green CAWS caption labeled PROP DE ICE will be continuously illuminated. In this mode the propeller de-ice system will be automatically selected to the correct cycle with reference to outside air temperature. No further aircrew input is required. If a system failure occurs when activated, the green CAWS caption will blink and the amber CAWS caption labeled DE ICE will be cor~tinuously illuminated. An aural gong will sound.

The wing and horizontal tail de-ice boots are activated from the DE-ICING switch panel by the switch labeled BOOTS being moved to either 3MlN or IMIN. 3MIN is to be selected in icing conditions with moderate ice accretion rates as judged by the aircrew. 1MlN is to be selected in icing conditions with high ice accretion rates. When activated in either 1MIN or 3MIN mode and operating correctly, the green CAWS caption labeled DE ICE BOOTS will be continuously illuminated. H a system failure occurs when activated, the green CAWS caption will blink and the amber CAWS caption labeled DE ICE will be continuously illuminated. An aural gong will sound.

The engine inertial separator is activated to its open (icing encounter) position lrom the DE ICING switch panel by the switch labeled INERT SEP being moved to OPEN. Once activated the inertial separator door will reach its lully open position in approximately 30 seconds. When fully open the green CAWS caption labeled INERT SEP will be continuously illuminated.

or moves away lrom its fully open position when still selected, the green CAWS caption will be extinguished.

The LH slde and RH side windshield deice is activated from the DE ICING swlch panel by two switches labeled LH WSHLD and RH WSHLD respectively, being moved to either LIGHT or HEAVY depending on the severity of the icing encounter. When activated in either mode and operating correctly, the green CAWS caption labeled WSHLD HEAT will be continuously illuminated. If a system failure occurs when activated, the green CAWS caption will extinguish.

Deicing ol all probes. AOA (vane and mounting plate), pitot and static, is activated from Ihe DE ICING switch panel by a switch labeled PROBES being moved to ON. When aclivated and operating correctly, the green CAWS caption labeled PROBES DE ICE will be continuously illuminated. If deicing of the pitot andlor static probes fails when selected, then the green CAWS caption will be extinguished. If deicing of the AOA probes fails when selected, then the amber CAWS caption labeled AOA DE ICE will be continuously illuminated. An aural gong will sound.

When the propeller de-ice is selected to ON and the inertial separator selected to OPEN, the stall protection system, slick pusherlshaker system is re-datumed to provide both shake and push functions at lower angles of attack and higher speeds. This is to protecl against the natural stall through the affects of residual ice on the protected surfaces ol the airfoil leading edges. When the system is in the re-datum mode, lhe aircrew are alerted by illurninalion of the amber CAWS caption labeled PUSHER ICE MODE. An aural gong will sound. Failure of the system in ice mode will result in the caption being extinguished and the AMBER CAWS caption labeled PUSHER w~ll be continuously illuminated. An aural gong will sound.

Night time flight in icing conditions is only authorized with full operational StatUS of all the aircraft de-icing systems above, plus the wing inspection light.

The wing inspection light is activated from the EXTERNAL LIGHTS switch panel by the switch labeled WING being moved to ON. No functional or failure indications are provided.

A full description of all of the de-ice systems, their switch terminology and caution and warning logic is provided in Section 7.

The probes de-ice should be selected to on, prior to, and during all flights.

During the icing encounter the pneumatic de-ice boots will operate continuously in elther 3min or lmin cycle mode as selected by the aircrew. During this time the aircrew should frequently monitor the continual shedding of ice lrom the wing leading edge and the airframe for ice accretion on all visible surfaces that could affect aircraft controllab~lity. It should be noted that some residual ice will be maintained on the wing leading edge during cycling of the boots.

During the icing encounter continue lo monitor the CAWS for correct function of the ice protection systems.

During flight in icing conditions the aircraft may be subject to a slight degradation in aircratl performance and engine performance. This may be recognized by a required increase in engine power to maintain a constant indicated airspeed and an increased engine IT1 to maintain a constant power respectively. If failure of any of the ice protection systems occurs this degradation may become more severe. ARer such

failure the pilot should make immediate arrangements for departure of king condiiions as soon as practicable. If required ATC priority assistance should be requested.

The emergency procedures, concerning failure of the ke protection systems during flight in king condiiions, are provided in Section 3.

On departure from king condiiions the inertial separator (INERT SEP) and the propeller deke system (PROP DE ICE) should be kept OPEN and ON respectively until all visible and unprotected areas of the aircraft are observed as being free of ice. This protects the engine from possiMe k e ingestion and maintains the stick shakerlpusher computer in PUSHER ICE MODE therefore protecting the aircraft agalnst the onset of natural stab. The flaps are not to be extended beyond 15" or in the case of deice boot failure, left at 0'. H the flaps are in an extended position, do not retract them until the airframe is clear ot ke.

On departure of king conditions the deice boots are to be selected OFF and the windshield heat is to be selected as required for good visibility, irrespective of the presence of residual ke.

Once all visible protected and unprotected areas are observed as being free of ice then the inertial separator and the propeller deice system can be selected CLOSED and OFF respectively. This will return the stick shakerlpusher computer to its normal mode. The flaps can be extended or retracted to any required position.

When performing a landing apprbach after an king encounter and with residual ice on I the airframe the minimum landing speedS defined above should be observed. This will prevent stick shaker activation AIM PUSHER ICE MODE.

When performing a landing approach after an king encounter and with residual ice on the airframe the flap limitations defined above must be observed. I In case of a balked landing go around after an king encounter, the climb speeds defined above should be maintained. This will prevent stick shaker activation in PUSHER ICE MODE.

In case of a balked landing go around after an king encounter, the flap position should not be changed and should be maintained at the approach position.

The landing gear can be retracted but a locked indication may not be achieved due to ice contamination of the up position switch striker.

Use of ICE X (B.F. Goodrich Brand Name) improves the shedding capabili of the pneumatic de-ice boots. Its use (see Aircraft Maintenance Manual) is recommended but not mandatory.

SECTION 4 NORMAL PROCEDURES

4.24 SEVERE ICING CONDITIONS

Severe king may result from environmental condiions outside of those for whkh the airplane is certlicated. Flight in freezing rain, freezing drizzle, or mixed king condiiions (supercooled liquid water and k e crystals) may result in ice buikl-up on protected surfaces exceeding the capability of the ice protection system, or may result in ice forming aft of the protected surfaces. This k e may not be shed using the ke protection systems, and may seriously degrade the performance and controllability of the airplane.

The following weather conditions may be conductive to severe in-flight king:

visible rain at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius ambient air temperature

droplets that splash or splatter on impact at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius ambient air temperature

The following procedures are for exiting the severe king environment and are applicable to all flight phases from takeoff to landing. Monitor the ambient air temperature. While severe king may form at temperatures as cold as -18 degrees Celsius, increased vigilance is warranted at temperatures around freezing with visible moisture present. If the visual cues speclied in Section 2 for identifying severe icing conditions are obsewed, accomplish the following:

report the weather conditions to Air Traffic Control

immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic Control to facilitate a route or an altitude chanae to exit the severe kina conditions in order to avoid extended exposure to fliiht condiiions more sev&e than those for which the airplane has been certificated

4.25 PREVENTING OF FROZENILOCKED BRAKES

Frozen brakes could occur when fully saturated with water and operated at or below +41° F (+5" C) OAT. The following procedures will help to prevent frozen brakes:

PRE FLIGHT INSPECTION

Apply approximately two ounces (59 cc) of undiluted isopropyl alcohol to the outer diameter of the brake assembly with a spray bottle

TAXI BEFORE TAKEOFF

If operating conditions permit use the brakes to slow down the aircraft and minimize the use of propeller reverse in order to drive off excessive moisture

TAKEOFF

Do not operate the brakes after takaon Avoid prolonged gear down flight in freezing conditions

Page 246: Pilatus PC-12 Pilot s Information Manual

SECTION 4 NORMAL PROCEDURES

LANMNG

Do not operate the brakes before landing If operating conditions permit avoid prolonged gear down flight in freezing conditions If operating conditions permit use the brakes to slow down the aircraft and minimize the use of propeller reverse in order to drive off excessive moisture

TAXI AFTER LANDING

If operating conditions permit use the brakes to slow down the aircraft and minimize the use of propeller reverse in order to drive off excessive moisture

AIRCRAFT WASHING

Install wheeVtire covers to minimize water ingress

URCRAFT PARKING

When the aircraft is parked, apply the parking brake to help keep moisture out of the brake assembly

If the aircraft is to be parked for a long p e r i i of time with temperatures below 32" F (0 " C), apply approximately two ounces (59 cc) of undiluted isopropyl alcohol to the outer diameter of the brake assembly with a spray bottle. Apply the alcohol after the brake assembly has cooled enough to touch but before it is cold

r CAUTION . I

DO NOT USE DEFROST AGENT ETHYLENE GLYCOL ON CARBON BRAKES, THIS CAN HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON VIBRATION, OXIDATION AND WEAR OF THE CARBON.

SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE

GENERAL

This section contains all of the required and complimentary performance data lor airplane operation. Airplane performance associated with optional equipment and systems which require supplemenls is provided in Section 9. Supplements.

The performance information presented in this section is derived from actual flighl test data corrected to standard day conditions and analytically expanded for the different parameters such as weight, altitude. and temperature, etc. This information does not account lor many factors that the pilot must evaluate before each takeon such as pilot proficiency, aircraft condition, runway surface and slope other than that spec~fied, or the effect of winds aloft. When necessary, a performance chart (table) will specify the aircraft configuration and the procedure to achieve the published performance.

A Flight Planning Example is provided to assist the pilot in the preflight performance calculations as required by the operating regulations. Each performance chart (table) has an example plotted to indicate the proper sequence in which to use the chart and determ~ne accurate performance data.

All performance data is limited to between the -55" C (-67" F) and +50° C (122" F) outside air lemperature limits. Some tables presented in !his section show data for lemperatures below -55" C (-67" F) which is purely lor ease of interpolation between data points. These temperature areas in the tables are shaded.

Performance data regarding takeoff, landing and accelerate-stop distances is presented up to 10.000 It. This does not, however, imply an operational limitat~on ol the aircraft. F~eld performance data at higher altitudes can be supplied under special request.

The slall speeds shown in the performance charts are achieved at an entry rate of t knotlsecond. Maximum altitude loss observed during Ihe stall was 300 feet. Durtng an accelerated stall, a rapid pitch-down in excess of 30" may result w~lh an allitude loss of up to 500 feet.

By setting the climb torque as defined in this section, the recommended ITT of 720°C (see Section 4 Climb) could be exceeded.

When landing with llaps set to less than 40". the total landing distances will be increased by the following factors:

SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE

FLIGHT IN ICING CONDITIONS

STALL SPEEDS

I When operat~ng in PUSHER ICE MODE, the stick pusher computer automatically reduces the shaker and pusher settings by 8" AOA. W~th operational deice boots this results in an increase of the stall speed at the maximum takeofl weight of 10 kts with 0" flaps and 7 kts with 15" flaps.

NOTE

Flap position is limited to maximum 15" in icing conditions with operational deice boots.

With failed deice boots and ice accretion on the lilting surfaces an increase of the stall speed at the maximum takeoff weight ol 14 kts with 0" flaps is to be expected.

NOTE

Flap position is limited to maximum 0" in icing conditions with lailed deice boots.

The wings level stall speeds at the maximum takeoff weight of 9039 Ib (4100 kg) and with power at fl~ght idle are summarized in the lollowing table:

PLATUS= SECTION 5 'PC x F PERFORMANCE

TAKEOFF PERFORMANCE

When taking-off in or into known icing conditions, the flaps must be set to 15" and the rotation speed increased by 9 KIAS. The speed at 50 ft (15 m) height will be correspondingly increased by 12 KIAS. As a result, the takeoff ground roll distance wiH be increased by 29%. The takeoff distance will be increased by 42% and the accelerate-stop distance by 30%.

The takeoff ground roll and takeoff total distances given in the performance charts will be longer with operations on slush or snow covered runways.

CLIMB PERFORMANCE

During flight in icing conditions, the maximum rate of climb can be reduced by up to 1000 FPM. After failure of the pneumatic deice boots, the maximum rate of climb can be reduced by up to 1200 FPM below 15000 ft and by up to 1400 FPM at higher altitudes.

HOLDING ENDURANCE

During holding flight in icing conditions, a higher engine torque is required to maintain level flight. Increases in engine fuel flow between 25% and 50010 are to be expected with respect to non icing conditions.

LANDING PERFORMANCE

After icing encounters and with visible ice accretion on the airframe, the landing is performed with 15" flaps and an approach speed of 105 KIAS. As a result, the landing ground roll distance can be increased by up to 90% without reverse thrust applied, and by up to 8W0 with reverse thrust applied. The landing total distances will correspondingly be bnger by up to 55% without reverse thrust applied, and by up to 45% with reverse thrust applied.

After failure of the airframe pneumatic deice boots in king condiiions, the landing is performed with 0° flaps and an approach speed of 130 KIAS. As a result, the ground roll distance can be increased by up to 160% without reverse thrust applied, and up to 140% with reverse thrust appiied. The landing total distances will correspondingly be bnger by up to 90% without reverse thrust appiied, and by up to 75% with reverse thrust applied.

BALKED LANDING PERFORMANCE

During flight in icing conditions, the balked landing rate of climb with 15' flaps can be up to 100 FPM bwer than in non icing conditions with 40° flaps. After failure of the pneumatic deice boots the rate of climb can be up to 400 FPM lower.

SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE

CLIMB

NOTE

The dimb performance chart assumes a no wind condition. The pilot must consider the effect of the winds alofl when computing time, fuel, and distance to climb. The fuel to climb includes the fuel consumed during the takeoff run.

Apply the cruise conditions of pressure altitude and temperature (respectively 28000 It and ISA + 10°C in this case) to the appropriate chart to determine the time, fuel, and distance to climb from sea level to the cruise altitude at the specified takeoff weight (8798 Ib in this case). Next. apply the departure airport conditions (respectively 4000 f l and ISA + 10°C in this case) to the same chart to determine those same values to climb from sea level to the departure airport. Subtract the values for the departure airport from those for the cruise altitude. The remaining values are the time, fuel, and distance to climb from the departure airport to the cruise altitude.

SECTION 6 WEIGHT AND BALANCE

GENERAL

This section contains the information required to determine the Basic Empty Weight and Moment of the aircraft, adjust the B.E.W. 81 M as equipment is added or removed, and calculate aircraft loading for various flight operations. Sample loading forms are provided.

To achieve the performance designed for the aircraft it must be flown with approved weight and center of gravity limits.

It Is the responsiblllty of the pilot in command to make sure that the aircrafl does not exceed the rnaxlmum weight limits and is loaded within the center of gravity range before takeoff.

Weight in excess of the maximum takeoff weight may be a contributing factor to an accident. especially with other factors of temperature. airfield elevation and runway conditions. The aircraft's climb, cruise and landing performance will also be affected. Loads that the aircraft was not designed for may be put on the structure, particularly during landing.

The pilot should routinely determine the balance of the aircraft since it is possible to be within the maximum weight limit and still exceed the center of gravity limits. Information regarding the Basic Empty Weight can be found on the Weight and Balance Record in this section. Installed equipment information can be found in the Equipment List at the back of this manual. Using the basic empty weight and moment together with the Loading Form the pilot can determine the weight and moment for the loaded aircraft by computing the total weight and moment and then determine whether they are within the Center of Gravity Envelope.

Pilot Only or Pilot and Copilot (Right Front Passenger)

Load rear cabin area as desired to remain within the afl C.G. limit. Cargo may have to be placed forward of the cargo door if the rear baggage area is loaded near its maximum limit. Fuel load may be limited by maximum weight.

Pilot, Copibt (Right Front Passenger), Passengers

Load passengers afl from passenger seat 1 as desired. With up to 6 occupants and no rear cargo, ballast may be needed in the rear baggage area to bring the C.G. afl of the forward limit at low fuel loads. Load rear cabin area as desired to remain within the aft C.G. limit. Fuel bad may be limited by maximum weight.

Load fuel equally between the left and right wing fuel tanks.

CARGO

Before loading airplane, attach the tail support stand to prevent the tail from contacting the ramp surface while ground personnel are in the aft cabin during the loading process.

Observe the maximum floor and seat rail load limits given on Ule placard on the forward and rear cargo door frame. Figure 6-4 gives the cabin dimensions and loading areas.

Secure heavy cargo in the cabin area with tie-down straps attached to seat rail anchor points. Refer to Fiure 6-5 for cargo mass calculation and Figure 6-6 lor tie-down strap and cargo net installation.

Refer to the Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) Chapter 25 for the part numbers of the approved cargo restraint nets, tie down straps, load carriers and retaining angles.

SECTION 6 WEIGHT AND BALANCE

WEIGHT AND BALANCE DETERMINATION FOR FLIGHT , 1

This section contains the crew seats, baggage, fuel load moments charts and C of G envelopes in LB-IN and MKG. I

1

Refer to the lnterior Configurations section for the passenger seat moments. Find the correct Moment Chart tor the interior configuration of the aircraft (Interior Code No. on Post SB 25-016 aircraft).

A Sample Loading Form and a blank Loading Form tor ownersloperators use are given in Figure 6-8. Instructions on how to use the charts, complete the loading form and to determine if center of gravity is within approved limits are given below.

COMPLETION OF THE LOADING FORM

Enter the current Running Basic Empty Weight and Total Moment from Figure 6-3 in the appropriate space on the Loading Form, Figure 6-8.

1 Enter the weights of all of the crew, passengers, items stowed in cabinets and baggage to be loaded, in the appropriate space on the Loading Form, Figure 6-8. 1

Use the Moment Charts in Figure 6-7, to determine the moment for the crew and baggage.

Use the correct Interior Code No. Moment Chart in the Interior Configurations section, to determine the moment for the passengers.

Enter the moment of each item in the appropriate space on the Loading Form, Figure 6-8.

Add the weight and moment of all of the items to the Basic Empty Weight and Moment of the airplane to determine the Zero Fuel Weight and Moment. Divide the moment by the w e e l to determine the C.G. arm,

Locate this point in the C.G. Envelope, Figure 6-9. If the point falls within the envelope, the loading meets the weight and balance requirements.

Use the Moment Chart in Figure 6-7, to determine the moment of the fuel load.

Enter the weight and moment of the fuel in the appropriate space on the Loading Form, Figure 6-8.

Add the fuel weight and moment to the calculated Zero Fuel Weight and Moment to determine the Ramp Weight and Moment. Divide the moment by the weight to determine the C.G. arm.

Locate this point in the C.G. Envelope, Figure 6-9. If the point falls within the envelope, the loading meets the weight and balance requirements.

RepoR No: 01973-001 6-20

Issued: June 10,1994 Revision 9: September 1, 1999

Page 361: Pilatus PC-12 Pilot s Information Manual

SECTION 6 WEIGHT AND BALANCE

Subtract the weight and moment of the fuel allowance for engine start and ground operations and add the moment due to the retraction of the landing gear to the Ramp Weight and Moment to determine Takeoff Weight and Moment. Divide the moment by the weight to determine the C.G. arm.

Locate this point in the C.G. Envelope, Figure 6-9. If the point falls within the envelope, the loading meets the weight and balance requirements for takeoff.

COMB1 CONVERSION

A Combi Conversion can be made from the removal of cabin seats from a Corporate Commuter and the removal of cabin seats and furnishings from an Executive Interior aircraft. The Combi Interior consists of 2 crew seats and payload or a combination of seats and payload. Cargo nets can be installed to attachment points at frames 24 and 27. Refer to Section 2 for the Cargo Limitations.

The airplane is weighed at the factory before the time of delivery. When other interior configurations are required, adjust the Basic Empty Weight and Moment and complete the landing form as follows:

Make a temporary mark on the seat rail at the forward edge of the Corporate Commuter Seat@) or mark position of the Executive Seat anachment fittings of the seat@) to be removed with masking tape or similar material to expedite re-installation. Remove the passenger seats and furnishings as required.

Use the passenger seats and furnishings weight and moment data in the relevant Interior Code section and determine the total weight and moment difference of the interior items removed from the aircraft.

Example: Three Seat Bench removed. Frame 27 Cargo Net installed.

NOTE: The moment figure is obtained by multiplying the weight of the item by the fuselage station given in the Seat Location Chart.

SECTION 6 WEIGHT AND BALANCE

Calculate the cargo moment as follows:

Locate one of the luggage net floor attachment points at frame 34. Measure distance from the attachment point to the center of the cargo i.e.35 in (0,889 m). The fuselage station dimension at the luggage net attachment point is 361.15 in (9,170 m) The arm of the cargo is the fuselage station dimension of the net attachment point minus the distance to the center of the cargo.

Example: Distance to cargo center - 35 in (0,889 m) Net Fuselage Station a 361.15 in (9,170 m) Cargo Arm = 361.15 in -35 in = 326.15 in (9,170 m-0,889 m = 8,281 m)

Enter the cargo arm and the weight of the cargo plus tie down straps and cargo arm on the Loading Form.

Complete the remainder of the Loading Form as given above.

When re-installing the passenger seats, return the seats to their original positions and verify the dimensions as shown in the Seat Location Chart for the aircraft configuration. Secure the arresting pin on the Corporate Commuter Seat(s) or install the locking needles on the Executive Seat(s). Remove the temporary seat rail marks.

INTERIOR CONFIGURATIONS 1

The PC-12 was designed and certified initially with two basic cabin interior configurations, a Corporate Commuter (Code STD-9s) and an Executive interior (Code EX-6s). The Corporate Commuter interior consists of two crew seats and 9 standard passenger seats. The Executive interior consists of two crew seats and 6 executive seats with forward storage cabinets and a toilet.

1

Variations to the two basic interior configurations are continuously being developed. The ' various configurations that have been approved are given below. Before using them it is the operators responsibility to check whether they require authorization by their regulatory authority. Some of the configurations require structural and system modifications, check with the Service Bulletin Index for the applicable SB's.

A Code Number is given to each interior configuration. The code will be shown on a placard 1

which will be installed on the cargo door frame (Post SB 25-016). The placard code gives the type and number of seats that are installed in the aircraft. Before making any changes to the interior configuration, contact Pilatus to make sure that any modification work or SB's are identified for embodiment. The placard must then be changed to show the correct code for the new configuration.

It is possible for aircraft with the executive interior to have more than one placard installed on the cargo door frame. The removal or installation of the rear seats must be done in accordance with an approved configuration. The correct weight and moment charts for the configuration must then be used for weight and balance determination for flight.

An optional three seat bench can be installed at the rear of the cabin in a Corporate Commuter and an Executive (Post SB 25-014) aircraft. A large baggage net (Post SB 25-010) can be installed in these configurations.

The following code numbers have been allocated and the seat locations are given in the following sub-sections:

8 CORPORATE COMMUTER lnterior Layout CODE STD-9s (nine standard seats)

8 CORPORATE COMMUTER lnterior Layout CODE STD-6s-38 (six standard seats and three seat bench)

8 EXECUTIVE lnterior Layout CODE EX-6S (six executive seats)

8 EXECUTIVE lnterior Layout CODE EX-BS (eight executive seats)

GENERAL

Section 7 of this Pilot's Operating Handbook contains infomation related to h e detailed description and operation of the airplane and its systems.

AIRFRAME

GENERAL

The airplane is a low wing, T-tail, single engine, retractable landing gear type designed to transport passengers, cargo, or various combinations of both passengers and cargo. Constmction is conventional semimonocoque, primarily incorporating aluminum alloy, but composite structures are used in certain areas.

Rush keting is used where appropriate to minimize drag. Access panels are inslalled to facilitate inspection and maintenance. The complete airframe is electrically bonded to eliminate electro-magnetic interference and static discharge wicks are used to reduce static charges while inflight.

FUSELAGE

The fuselage consists of the engine area, nose gear assembly, cockpit, cabin, and ail fuselage. The engine area contains the powerplant, and associated accessories. The engine cowling is constructed from a carbonlnomex honeycomb material while the engine mount is welded steel tubing and bolted to the firewall in four places. The firewall is titanium and protected by insulation material.

A two piece windshield, two side windows, and a direct vision (DV) window provide cockpit visibility. The two piece windshield is glass while the two side windows and the DV window are stretched acrylic. All windows are of two ply laminated design.

The cabin area is from the cockpit to the aft pressure bulkhead and contains the forward cabin door, the cargo door, and an emergency overwing exit. The nine cabin windows are two ply laminated monolthic stretched acrylic and incorporate dry neoprene seals. Airplane avionics are mounted under the cabin floor, running the length of the center cabin, and are accessible through quick release panels. The cabin cany-through spar attachment fillings are one piece machined aluminum. Fuselage fairings are constructed from either carbonlnomex or aramidlnomex honeycomb material.

A Safety net is installed ail of the rear pressure bulkhead to protect the bulkhead from damage during maintenance.

Page 428: Pilatus PC-12 Pilot s Information Manual

SECTION 7 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

EMPENNAGE

The empennage is a T-tail design with the horizontal stabilizer mounted on top of the vertical stabilizer. The aft fuselage is attached to the cabin at the aft pressure bulkhead. The vertical and hor~zontal stabilizer assemblies are conventional aluminum construction. The horizontal stablllzer 1s a trimmable structure. The dorsal and ventral fin fairings are kevlar honeycomb matenal.

WINGS

The wings are of conventional construction incorporating lront and rear spars, ribs, and skin. The lront and rear spars are mainly from machined aluminum alloy plate. Both spars include fuselage and integral landing gear attachment points, while the rear spar also integrates flap actuator attachment points. Main load carrying ribs are machined from aluminum alloy plate All other ribs are formed sheet metal. The ribs incorporate lightening holes to reduce weight and integral beads for stiffening. The wing skin is stiflened clad aluminum alloy sheet riveted to the spars and nbs. Access panels are in the wing bonom only.

Each wing is attached to the fuselage using three titanium shear pins and, at the aft upper l~tting, one steel tension bolt.

Each wing contains an integral fuel tank, aileron, flaps, deice boot, and main landing gear. The luel tanks are located between ribs 3 and 16, forward of the main spar to lhe nose rib and between ribs 6 and 16 behind the main spar to the rear spar.

The ailerons are conventional construction with a single spar and ribs. The aileron access panels are a carbonfnomex honeycomb consttuction. The ailerons are mass balanced and the aileronlwing gap is sealed.

Each wlng incorporates a single piece Fowler flap of conventional construction, with three support arms and associated linkages. The wing trailing edges above the flaps are foam core covered with carbon laminate while the flap fairings are a carbon laminate wilh nomex honeycomb reinforcement strips.

A surlace mounted deice boot is attached to lhe nose skin of each wing. Each wing has a main landing gear attached to the front and rear spar, with a carbon fiberhornex honeycomb gear door attached to the leg. The wing tips are constructed of carbon fibermoneycomb and metal strips for lightning protection.

*PILATUS-- SECTION 7 -PC x F AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

FLIGHT CONTROLS

GENERAL

The flight control system is conventional using push-pull rods and carbon steel cables. Electric trim systems are provided for the aileron, rudder, and elevator. All trim systems can be disconnected in the event of a runaway condition.

When the flaps start to extend an aileronlrudder interconnect system operates to move the rudder at the same time as the ailerons are operated. The more the flaps are extended, the larger the movement of the rudder when the ailerons operate. This decreases the quantity of input necessary from the rudder pedals at low airspeeds.

AILERON

The ailerons are connected to the cockpit control wheels by control cables in the fuselage and push-pull rods in the wings. Each aileron is attached to the wing at two hinge points. Each aileron is equipped with a minimum of two static wicks to dissipate static charges to the atmosphere.

The left aileron incorporates a trim tab which is electrically operated from the cockpit. Refer to 1 Trim system, this section, for more information.

ELEVATOR

The elevator is a two piece unit attached to the horizontal stabilizer at a total of five hinge points and is connected to the cockpit control wheel by carbon steel control cables. A down spring is installed in the control circuit to improve longitudinal stability. The elevator is equipped with static wicks to dissipate static charges to the atmosphere.

I Pitch trim is provided by positioning the horizontal stabilizer. Refer to Trim system, this section, for more information.

RUDDER

The rudder is a single piece unit attached to the vertical stabilizer at two hinge points and is connected to the cockpit rudder pedals by carbon steel control cables. Both pilot and copilot rudder pedals are adjustable by use of a crank located between each set of rudder pedals. Clockwise rotation of the crank moves the pedals aft. The rudder is equipped with static wicks to dissipate static charges to the atmosphere.

The rudder incorporates a trim tab that is electrically operated from the cockpit. Refer to Trim system, this section, for more information.

SECTION 7 r P I L ATUSE AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION ?C XI1

TRlM

I The aileron, horizontal stabilizer and rudder trim are electrically operated. Aileron and horizontal stabilizer trim operation are controlled by a switch on the outboard horn of each control wheel while rudder trim operation is controlled by a switch located on the Engine Power Control Lever. Prior to selecting pitch and aileron trim press and hold the pitch trim engage switch located on the forward side of each outboard control wheel horn.

I Pitch trim is accomplished by an electrically controlled actuator connected to the moveable horizontal stabilizer. The secondary trim motor, installed in the same actuator, is controlled by the autopilot and can also be used as a backup system (alternate stabilizer trim) by the pilot. Alternate pitch trim can be accomplished by pressing the ALTERNATE STAB TRlM switch in the desired direction.

The leading edge of the stabilizer moves down for nose up trim and up for nose down trim. At the root of the leading edge of the leH horizontal stabilizer there is a trim range indicator which has markings to show full travel in either direction and a takeoff trim range. During the preflight inspection this external trim indicator should be used to verify cockpit trim position indication.

In the event of uncommanded trim operation, all trim operation can be stopped by pressing the TRlM INTR switch located ahead of the Engine Control Quadrant on the center console.

Page 431: Pilatus PC-12 Pilot s Information Manual

=PlLATUSW SECTION 7 PC12 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

FLAPS I Each wing trailing edge has a single piece Fowler type flap supported by three flap arms. The flaps are controlled by a selector handle located to the right of the power controls on the center console. The flaps may be set to one of the four preset positions 0°, 15O, 30' and 40" by moving the handle to the appropriate position. If the flap lever is not at one of the four preset positions, the Flap Control and Warning Unit (FCWU) will drive the flaps to the nearest preset position. A flap position indicator is located near the top of the left instrument panel.

The flaps are electrically actuated. There is a single flap Power Drive Unit (PDU) installed below the cabin floor at the rear main frame. It drives screw actuators at the inboard and middle stations through flexible shafts. The screw actuators are connected to the flap actuating arms.

The flap control system incorporates a failure detection system. The system can detect a failure of a flexible shaft by disconnection or jamming, potentially resulting in flap asymmetry or failure of the system to achieve the selected flap position. The system can detect a failure of a single actuator, potentially resulting in single flap panel twisting. If a failure is detected, the FCWU disconnects the power to the PDU and the CAWS FLAPS caution will come on. This condition cannot be reset by pilot action, a landing should be made IAW the EMERGENCY PROCEDURES as maintenance action is required.

A rotation sensor is Installed on each of the outer flap screw actuators. These sense the rotation of the flexible shafts and give signals to the FCWU. The FCWU monitors these signals for asymmetrical flexible shaft rotation of more than 20 rotations (caused by a broken inner flap drive shaft). If failure is detected the FCWU disconnects the power to the PDU and the CAWS FLAPS caution will come on. This condition cannot be reset by pilot action. To detect satisfactory system operation, the FCWU monitors the left sensor for 10 rotations of the flexible shaft in the first 5 seconds (7 seconds with a modified FCWU) of a flap up or down I selection. If the selected flap position is not achieved the FCWU disconnects the power to the PDU and the CAWS FLAPS caution will come on.

There are five position sensors in the flap system, one at each center flap actuating arm, one at each inner flap actuating arm and one on the flap position lever, which give signals to the FCWU. The FCWU monitors the signals from the left and right flap sensors for flap asymmetry (caused by a broken inner flap drive shaft). If an asymmetry of 5" is sensed, power to the PDU is disconnected and the CAWS FLAPS caution will come on. The FCWU also monitors the signals from the left and right flap sensors for twisting of the left or right flap (caused by a broken outer flap drive shaft or unequal movement of the flap screw actuators). If a failure is detected, the FCWU disconnects the power to the PDU and the CAWS FLAPS caution will come on.

Additionally if flap asymmetry or twist is detected and the flap angle is greater than ZO, the stick pusher will default to a 'safe' mode and the CAWS PUSHER caution will come on 10 seconds later. In the 'safe' mode the stick pusher will operate at approximately 5 kts higher airspeed for the failed tlap position.

SECTION 7 =PILATUSW AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION PC12

Pre SB 27-013. If the PDU motor draws excess current, the excess current will open a remote circuit breaker, disconnects the power to the PDU and the CAWS FLAPS caution will come on. The remote circuit breaker will also open a FLAP circuit breaker on the Battery Bus circuit breaker panel. After waiting a period for cooling the FLAP circuit breaker can be reset and normal flap operation resumes. This is the only pilot re-senable failure and cycling the flap circuit breaker if it has not opened will not reset any other failure mode detected.

Post SB 27-013. If the Power Drive Unit (PDU) motor overheats or a stalled motor condition is detected, a signal from the PDU will open the FLAP circuit breaker on the Battery Bus circuit breaker panel. The FCWU then removes the up or down command to the PDU and the CAWS FLAPS caution will come on. After waiting for a period of 5 minutes the FLAP circuit breaker can be reset and normal flap operation resumes. This is the only pilot re-settable failure and cycling the flap circuit breaker if it has not opened will not reset any other failure mode detected.

To avoid an inadvertent flap down command at high speed, the flap down relay is disabled when the flap selector handle is in the 0' position.

Flap system operation may be stopped at any time by lifting the switch guard and pressing the INTERRUPT FLAP switch on the center console to INTR. The CAWS FLAPS caution will then come. If the switch is moved back to the NORM position, normal operation will not resume, even if the FCWU does not detect any failures.

A FLAP GROUND RESET switch (Post SB 27-006 and MSN 322 and UP) is installed on the maintenance test panel (right sidewall behind the co-pilot seat). The FLAP GROUND RESET switch is only operational on the ground for maintenance purposes.

INDICATION I WARNING SYSTEM

A three-axis trim position indicator is located on the center console. The triple trim indicator shows a pictorial presentation of the trim position of the aileron trim tab (roll), horizontal stabilizer (pitch) and rudder trim tab (yaw). Some versions of the triple trim indicator include three white indicator lights, one for each trim axis. When the autopilot activates the autotrim system, the white light for the applicable axis illuminates.

A warble tone at 850 and 854 Hz will sound when a stabilizer trim runaway of the main system is sensed.

The Central Advisory and Warning System (CAWS) annunciator panel includes a STAB TRIM warning light. The illumination of this warning caption will illuminate after 5 seconds (MSN 101-180) 1 60 seconds (181 & UP) when weight is on the wheels and the trim position is unsafe for takeoff.

The Central Advisory and Warning System (CAWS) annunciator panel includes a FLAPS caution light. This caution will come on when the FCWU shuts down the system because it sensed an asymmetric flap condition, a twist in the left or right flap, flexible shaft asymmetry, or flap FCWU malfunction. The caution will also come on if the FLAP circuit breaker on the Battery Bus circuit breaker panel opens.

A flap position indicator is located on the pilots left instrument panel. The indicator face is marked with the positions 0°, 15", 30° and 40" and has a red warning caption. Flap position is shown by a pointer which moves in relation to flap movement. The red warning caption and a 1600 Hz aural warning tone interrupted at 5 Hz are activated anytime the airspeed is above the maximum limit for the current flap setting.

LANDING GEAR

GENERAL

Refer to Figure 7-2, Landing Gear System, for system operation.

The landing gear is a conventional tricycle configuration that is extended and retracted using hydraulic pressure produced by an electrically powered hydraulic pump. Landing gear extension and retraction is the only function of the hydraulic system and landing gear operation is completely automatic upon pilot gear selection.

A nitrogen charged accumulator is used to maintain hydraulic pressure and hold the landing gear in the retracted position following a hydraulic system failure. If required, the landing gear can be lowered manually through a combination of tree-falling and the emergency landing gear hand pump.

Landing gear position and waming indications consist of three indicator lights (greenlred) and an aural tone (gear waming tone < 10 % torque) with a silencer button.

Nosewheel steering is accomplished by mechanical nosewheel steering and by differential braking.

Aircraft braking is controlled by toe pedals that operate brake assemblies attached to the left and right landing gear. Propeller reverse also contributes to aircraft braking. Refer to Propeller system, this section, for more information.

LANDING GEAR DESCRlPf ION

The nose gear is a fluid and nitrogen filled shock strut. The shock strut consists of a piston and fork assembly that slides inside a cylinder. A toque link connects the pistonlfork assembly to the cylinder. The cylinder is mounted inside the nosewheel well. The nose gear is locked in the extended position by pufflng the folding strut in an over-center position. A spring is attached to the nose gear to assist in free fall during emergency extension. The nose gear doors are spring loaded to the open position and are mechanically closed during nose gear retraction. The nose gear retracts rearward into the nosewheel well and is completely enclosed by the gear doors when the landing gear is retracted.

Both main landing gear are trailing link types. A fluid and nitrogen filled shock strut connects the trailing link to the main leg hinge point. Each main gear actuator incorporates a mechanical down-lock and a gear down and locked indicator switch. The main landing gear doors consist of a single door that is attached to the main gear leg and the outside edge of the main gear wheel well. Each main gear retracts inward into the main gear wheel well. With the landing gear retracted the main landing gear wheel and tire assemblies are not enclosed and protrude out of the main gear wheel well approximately one inch (25.4 mm).

All landing gear are held in the fully retracted position by hydraulic pressure. No mechanical up-locks are required.

Nose wheel steering is accomplished using the rudder pedals which are mechanically connected to the nosewheel. Additional nosewheel steering is done through differential braking. Use of rudder pedal only will turn the nosewheel i 12 degrees from center while differential braking will turn the nosewheel i 60 degrees from center. A shimmy damper is installed on the nose landing gear strut to eliminate nosewheel oscillations.

The tires are a low pressure type that allow operations from soft and unimproved fields.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The main hydraulic system comprises a power pack located in the hydraulic service bay in the left wing root behind the main spar, a nitrogen charged accumulator in the same location, a landing gear selector valve mounted in the cockpit mechanically linked to the pilots control panel selector handle by a pusWpull rod and three actuators, one for each landing gear leg.

The power pack features an electrically driven variable displacement hydraulic pump abng with associated filtration, pressure regulation and failure protection systems, and an integral reservoir with a visual sight gauge. It provides the main source of hydraulic pressure and flow to facilitate landing gear extension and retraction. It is pressurized with nitrogen from a pressure cylinder to prevent pump cavitation during low temperature operations. Filtration consists of an integral filter with automatic by-pass and visual by-pass indication. (pop out button). Thermal protection is provided.

MSN 231 and UP have a larger nitrogen pressure cylinder which also contains hydraulic fluid thus increasing the system fluid volume. A visual level indicator is installed at the rear of the cylinder and can be seen at the wing root when the cargo door is open. This enables the hydraulic fluid level status to be seen during a pre flight inspection.

Electrical power supply for the system is provided from the BATTERY POWER LINE and is applied to the power pack, causing the pump to operate when low hydraulic pressure is sensed by the system pressure switch. The hydraulic control circuit is powered from the NON- ESSENTIAL BUS.

The selector valve is a two position, four way rotary type located in the cockpit and mechanically actuated by the landing gear selector handle.

Page 439: Pilatus PC-12 Pilot s Information Manual

EPILATUSE SECTION 7 ?c XI1 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

The nitrogen charged accumulator is present for fluid thermal expansion and to ensure system pressure is maintained after power pack failure. Its size accounts for normal system pressure leakage rates to ensure that after such a failure, the landing gear will be maintained in the retracted position for 200 minutes. In this time however the gust load limit is reduced to 3.39.

NOTE

The landing gear may partially extend during a gust load that is greater than 3.39 and then return to the retracted position. Afler 200 minutes, the landing gear may start extending due to loss of system pressure.

The accumulator is charged via a charging valve located in the service bay with pressure indicated on a gauge at the same location. A service selector valve, located in the service bay, allows the system to be operated from a ground hydraulic service unit.

The actuators are of the linear type with the main landing gear actuators also incorporating the down locking mechanism.

Cockpit controls consist of the following - - A landing gear selector handle is located on the pilot's lower right panel and facilitates

extension or retraction of the landing gear. It acts directly, via a rod, on the landing gear selector valve. The handle is equipped with an electrical spring loaded solenoid which prevents it from moving to the retracted position when the airplane is on the ground. The airplane on ground status is sensed by the airlground system which comprises two proximity switches and associated targets, one on each main landing gear leg and a relay.

- An emergency landing gear hand pump and operating handle, located at the rear of the center console, is used to assist in free fall emergency landing gear deployment after failure of the main system.

SECTION 7 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

MAIN HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OPERATION

When the airplane IS on the ground and the electrical system is energized with the engine running and oil pressure is above 60 psi the system pressure limit switch, which senses accumulator nitrogen pressure, will maintain the hydraulic system pressure between the set limils of 2,450 and 2,800 psi

Movement of the landing gear selector valve to pass pressure to the appropriate side of the main landing gear and nose landlng gear actuator retracts the landing gear, which is then held there by continued application of hydraulic pressure. When the airplane is on the ground or in flight and the engine oil pressure is below 60 psi, the power pack is isolated to prevent pump cavitation in cold conditions. In normal operation, the landing gear is extended by moving the landing gear selector valve to apply pressure to the other side of all three actuators. Locking of the main landing gear actuators is accomplished by internal locks within the actuator housings which are actualed and released by the application of hydraulic pressure in the appropriate sense. The nose landing gear IS held in its extended position by an over-center two piece drag link.

The hydraulic system is isolated in the following conditions .

- After the loss of the GEN 1 which will also isolate the NON-ESSENTIAL BUS (auto load shed) due to a GEN 1 or engine failure.

- After power pack overheat via thermal protection integral to the power pack itself

lNDlCATlOWARNlNC3 SYSTEM

Extended position indication Is provided by micro switches internal to the main landlng gear actuators and a proximity switch on the nose landing gear drag Ink. Retraction position indication Is provided by proximity switches on the landlng gear doors.

Landing gear position Is indicated in the cockpit by three dual-indication llghts (one for each leg), located to the left of the landlng gear selector handle. Each light is split into twa sections with the top section being a red light while the bottom sectlon is a green Ilght. When a landing gear is down and locked, the bottom green light will be illuminated. Anytime a landing gear Is in transit, or In an unsafe condition, the top red light will be illuminated. Both lights will be off with a landing gear fully retracted.

The Central Advisory and Warning System (CAWS) annunciator panel includes a caution light labeled HYDR. This caution provides two different advisories - I - In flight a continuously illuminated caption means that main system pressure has fallen

below operatbnal limits (nominal 1,800 psi) and can not be relied upon for proper landing gear system operation. The annunciator is illuminated 30 seconds after low pressure Is sensed by a low pressure switch mounted in the power pack pressure supply line upstream of the landing gear selector valve.

- On ground after landing a continuously illuminated caption means that the power pack has been automatically Initiated in flight more that six times in an hour by the system 1 pressure switch in order to maintain system pressure. This indicates that the pressure leak rate from the accumulator is too high or a low fluid level. Pilot initiated landing gear cycle will reset this counter to zero.

All three landing gear indicator lights will come on red and an audible warning tone will be heard through the overhead speaker and through the headphone audio when the following conditions are met with electrical power applied to the airplane:

- Anytime the landing gear control handle Is UP, while in the air, with -

- flaps set to more than 15"; or - airspeed is less then 130 KIAS; and power setting is less than 10 psi.

The audible warning tone can be turned off, i f flaps are not set to more than 15", by pressing the SILENCER button on the landing gear control panel.

SECTION 7 'FEPLATUSB AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION K12

EMERGENCY EXTENSION SYSTEM

The emergency extension system is required to ensure that the landing gear can be extended I and locked after a failure of the main system. This is accomplished by pulling the HYDR CTL

CB and releasing the hydraulic pressure in the actuators by selecting landing gear DOWN via the selector handle. This returns the hydraulic fluid back to the reservoir, thus allowing the landing gear to free-fall. Emergency extension of the nose landing gear is assisted by a spring strut to overcome aerodynamic loads. If necessary, yawing the airplane to use the aerodynamic load may assist the emergency extension.

I To manually extend the landing gear, pull the HYDR CTL circuit breaker and set the landing gear selector handle to DN with airspeed less than 110 KIAS. This will allow the landing gear to free fall. If the landing gear do not completely extend and show three green indicator lights, pull the emergency landing gear hand pump handle out of the aft center console and begin pumping. Stop pumping when all three landing gear indicator lights are green. Experience has shown that approximately 60 strokes of the hand pump are required in adverse conditions. Stow the emergency landing gear hand pump handle back into the aft center console before landing.

If the landing gear has been extended manually for training purposes, the landing gear can be I retracted normally HYDR CTL CB in. If the HYDR caution light on the CAWS annunciator

panel was on due to low hydraulic system pressure, wait until the HYDR caution light goes out. 1 If lhere is no apparent landing gear malfunction, make sure that airspeed is less then 177

KIAS, then move the landing gear selector handle to UP.

NOTE

The landing gear hydraulic control circuit is on the NON ESSENTIAL BUS. In the event that generator 1 goes off-line with a subsequent auto load shed of the NON ESSENTIAL BUS, normal landing gear operation is not available. Gear extension must be accomplished by the Emergency Gear Extension procedure.

BRAKES

Refer to Figure 7-3, Brake System, for system operation.

Aircraft braking is provided by two brake assemblies, one bolted to each main landing gear axle. The brakes are controlled by toe pedals attached to each rudder pedal assembly. The pilot and copilot left toe brakes operate the left brake while the pilot and copilot right toe brakes operate the right brake.

The brake system consists of a brake fluid reservoir, four brake master cylinders, a left and right shuttle valve, a parking brake valve, and two brake assemblies. If the pilot and copilot simultaneously apply pressure to the same side brake pedal, the one applying the greatest pressure will control the braking.

The brake system is separate and independent from the airplane hydraulic system. The brake fluid reservoir is located on the right hand side of the cabin sidewall and incorporates a fluid level indicator.

A separate brake master cylinder, located in the cockpit footwell, is mechanically connected to each toe pedal. There is no mechanical connection between the pilot and copilot brake pedals. Two shuttle valves, a left and a right, are used to combine inputs from their respective pilot and copilot brake pedals. Pressing a brake pedal causes the applicable brake master cylinder to force brake fluid through the respective shuttle valve and parking brake valve to the brake assembly.

Pre SB 32-013 brake assemblies have carbon friction surfaces and Post SB 32-013 have steel friction surfaces. The performance of the two brake assemblies is similar. Each brake assembly incorporates two brake lining wear indicators. As the brake linings wear, the pins will be pulled into the piston housing. When the system is pressurized and the pins are flush with

I the piston housing, the brake linings must be overhauled. I The parking brake valve has two OH-center cams that hold open poppet valves whenever the parking brake is released. This allows hydraulic fluid flow through the brake system. When the parking brake is set, the OH-center cams are rotated to allow the poppet valves to close. This traps brake fluid under pressure between the parking brake valve and the brake assemblies.

To set the parking brake, pull the PARKING BRK T-handle fully out and rotate to lock, then evenly press both brake pedals. Release pedal pressure and the brakes will remain set. To release the brakes, rotate and push the PARKING BRK T-handle fully in.

WHEELS AND TIRES

The wheels are split-hub type, the main wheels have three fusible plugs which melt when there is too much heat from the brakes. Tubeless tires are installed on the wheels and each wheel has a tire inflation valve and an overinflation safety plug. The main wheels have fairings on the outer hubs which make the wheels aerodynamically smooth when the .landing gear is retracted. The main wheels are modified when brake assemblies with steel friction surfaces (Post SB 32-013) are installed.

This a~rplane is powered by the Pratl 8 Whitney PT6A-678, which is a light weight, reverse flow, free turbine engine. In addition to the gas generator section, the PT6A-67B incorporates a power section with the power turbine and propeller reduction gearbox, an integral oil system, and an accessory gearbox for mountings for various accessories.

Air enters the compressor through an annular plenum chamber. The compressor consists of four axial stages and a single centrifugal stage. Stator vanes between each stage of compression diffuse the air, raise its static pressure, and direct it to the next stage of compression. From the centrilugal compressor, air flows through a diffuser tube, then changes direction 180 degrees as it flows into the combustion chamber. A compressor bleed valve is installed on the gas generator case at the 3 o'clock position. It automatically opens to spill interstage compressor air to prevent compressor stall.

The combustion chamber consists of two perforated annular sections bolted together with a large exit duct. Compressed air enters the combustion chamber through the perforations, where it is mixed with fuel and ignited. The rapidly expanding gas is directed through another 180 degree direction change into the turbine.

The turbine consists of a single stage compressor turbine and a two-stage power turbine. As the gas exits the combustion chamber, it is directed onto the compressor turbine, which powers the compressor. From the compressor turbine, the gas is directed to the two-stage power turbine which drives the propeller via the propeller reduction gearbox. Engine inter turbine temperature (ITT) is measured between the compressor and power turbines.

Gas flow is directed into the exhaust duct from the turbine. The exhaust duct has an annular inlet which leads exhaust gas to a bifurcated duct connected to two opposed exhaust ports. The exhaust duct is made from heat resistant nickel alloy metal and incorporates mounting flanges for the exhaust nozzles.

AIR INDUCTION

The air induction system is integrated into the front and rear lower cowlings and comprises of an air inlet and inlet duct, a plenum, and an inertial separator.

The air inlet consists of a crescent shaped metal leading edge through which hot exhaust is 7 passed to prevent ice accumulation. The exhaust gas is extracted from the left hand side exhaust stub by the means of a 1.5 inch diameter pitot probe inserted into the stub itself. It then passes through the lip, consisting of a sealed chamber, before exiting into the right hand , stub through a 1.5 inch discharge tube. The probes are connected to the exhaust lip by 1.5 , inch diameter metal ducts complete with integral connectors. The inlet duct, which connects the inlet lip to the plenum, consists of a diverging nozzle following the same general shape as the inlet lip. 4

The plenum consists of a sealed circular metal canister surrounding the engine compressor inlet screen. It is here that the engine draws air to be compressed for combustion and services

supply.

The inertial separator is of the 'fixed geometry' design and provides engine induction system protection when operating in icing or FOD conditions. It can be used for takeoff when operating in a FOD environment. It comprises of a fixed No. 2 mesh screen attached to the rear wall of the plenum covering a percentage of the inlet area, a moveable outlet door and electrical actuator situated directly above the oil cooler outlet exit, and a converging by-pass duct.

In normal operations (non icing, non FOD) the outlet door is closed which seals the by-pass and provides the induction air with a single flow path to the plenum and engine through the porous No. 2 screen.

In icing or FOD conditions the actuator is retracted to open the outlet door. This allows a flow path past the plenum to ambient and increases the pressure ratio across the inlet system. The increased pressure ratio has the effect of accelerating heavy particles present in the inlet air. which then go straight past the plenum and into the by-pass duct before exiting through the outlet door. In icing conditions the porous No. 2 screen ices to restrict the flow path of sdid particles which can not turn into the plenum and thus further assist in engine protection. However the pressure of the air to the engine, with the inertial separator open, is also reduced with consequent reduction in available engine performance.

The inertial separator outlet door operation is controlled by a switch on the DE-ICING control panel (pilots lower right switch panel). The door is selected open by moving the switch labelled INERT SEP to OPEN. A steady green CAWS caption INERT SEP is illuminated when the door reaches its fully open position. When the door is selected OPEN but does not reach its selected position, the INERT SEP caption will not illuminate indicating a failure condition.

I After failure of the inertial separator, the aircrew should prepare for departure of icing conditions I as soon as possible.

CONTROLS

Refer to Figure 7-7, Engine and Propeller Controls I Indication.

Eng~ne power is controlled by POWER CONTROL, CONDITION, and MANUAL OVERRIDE levers located on the center console.

POWER CONTROL LEVER

The POWER CONTROL lever (PCL) selects the required engine power (Ng) and in certain conditions it dlrectly controls the propeller pitch. The PCL has a flight and a ground operating range separated by an idle detent. The flight operating range is forward of the detent. As the PCL is moved foward of the idle detent the minimum propeller pitch (6" to 12") is &recUy controlled by the PCL while the propeller is in an underspeed condition during low engine power at a low airplane speed. When the PCL is moved further forward, engine power and airplane speed increase until each are high enough for the propeller to operate in a constant speed mode. In this mode, the Conslant Speed Unit (CSU) selects the propeller pitch to maintain a propeller speed of 1700 rpm.

When the PCL is at the idle detent, the gas generator is at idle and the propeller is at minimum pitch. A lilting action to raise the PCL over the detent is required to move the PCL into the ground operating range.

P WARNING 1

DO NOT MOVE THE PCL BELOW THE IDLE DETENT WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOT OPERATING TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL LINKAGE.

PCL OPERATION AFT OF THE IDLE DETENT IS NOT PERMllTED IN FLIGHT OR WHEN ENGINE OPERATION IS CONTROLLED BY THE MANUAL OVERRIDE LEVER.

Aft of the Idle detent is the ground operating range or beta mode. The Nf governor limits the propeller speed to an underspeed concbtion to give the beta valve fun authority in controlling the propeller pitch. The engine power and propeller pitch are directly controlled by the PCL. Initial PCL movement aft of the idle detent adjusts the propeller pitch while the gas generator remains at idle and can be used to control taxi speed. Further aft movement causes the propeller to move into the reverse range followed by an increase in engine power.

MANUAL OVERRIDE LEVER

The MANUAL OVERRIDE lever (MOR) is located on the center console to the left of PCL. The MOR controls the engine power in case of a pneumatic fa~lure of the engine fuel control or in case of a PCL-system failure.

The MOR directly operates the fuel metering valve by mechanically compressing the pneumatic bellows (Py pressure) in the FCU. In case of a Py leak, the engine spools down to minimum fuel flow with no response lo PCL inputs. Minimum fuel flow varies from 35% N on the ground to 7O0lO N~ at 30.000 11. With forward speed the engine would spool down very L w ~ y (from iae to minimum fuel flow it lakes approximately 1 to 2 minutes) and gives the pilot enough time to recover engine power with the MOR before Ng drops below 50%. Maximum fuel flow available from a minimum fuel flow condition is 512 Ibhr wh~ch gives approximately 750 SHP.

During normal engine operation the MOR lever is in the full aft or OFF position with the indicator thread attached. In case of a PCL or pneumatic failure, the PCL should be positioned at the maximum position to allow full MOR authority and in order to limit the propeller pitch to 12" which allows for a more stable Constant Speed Unit operation. I f Ng is above 50%, unrestricted use of the MOR is permitted. If the engine is allowed to drop below 50% Ng, starter assistance may be required to recover Ng above 50%. Movement of the MOR lever should be done very carefully so as not to cause compressor surges and ITT overtemperature. However on the ground with no forward speed it is not possible to recover engine speed.

To operate the MOR, lift up on the lever and move it forward as desired towards the MAX position. There is a small deadband forward of the OFF position before the engine responds to movement of the MOR lever.

CONDITION LEVER

The Condition Lever has three positions and is used to select the gas generator idle speed, shut down the engine, and feather the propeller. The GROUND IDLE position (G.I.) is tor ground operation only. This selling insures that the propeller speed remains above the prohlbiled range (350 rpm to 950 rpm) for ambient conditions up to a temperalure of approximately 45" C. The FLlGHT IDLE position (F.1.) is selected for flight operation which provldes sufficient bleed air flow to maintain cabin pressurization al minimum Ng and to give smooth engine response to PCL movement during approach and landing. The CUT- OFFIFEATHER position mechanically stops the fuel low to shut down the engine and electrically feathers the propeller at the same time. The low fuel pressure switch is inoperalive when the Conation Lever is in the CUT-OFFIFEATHER position.

To move the Condition Lever from the CUT-OFF position the entire lever needs to be tifled. To move the lever to CUT-OFFIFEATHER it has to be lifted to get over the hard stop. Movements from GROUND IDLE to FLIGHT IDLE and vice versa need only pressure on the lever towards the new positions to overcome the soft stop.

The engine STARTER and IGNITION switches are located on the pilot's lower left switch panel.

ENGINE FUEL

Refer to Figure 7-8, Engine Fuel System, for system configuration. For airplane fuel storage and distribution, refer to Fuel system, this section.

The engine fuel system consists of an oil to fuel heat exchanger, a high pressure engine driven fuei pump, a fuel control unit, a fuei flow transducer, a fuel flow divider and dump valve, and the fuel nozdes. .

Fuel is delivered to the fuelloil heat exchanger from the low pressure engine driven pump. The oil to fuel heat exchanger pre-heats the fuel, to eliminate the chance of ice formation in the fuel, and reduces the oil temperature. The high pressure engine driven fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel control unit after It passes through the oil to fuel heat exchanger. See Fuel System for more information.

The fuel control unit is controlled by the POWER CONTROL and CONDITION levers during normal operations, and the MANUAL OVERRIDE lever during emergency operation. Fuel flows through the fuel flow transducer on its way to the fuel flow divider and dump valve. The fuel flow transducer converts fuel flow rate into an electrical signal which is then displayed in the cockplt on the Engine instrument System (EIS).

The fuel flow divider and dump valve serves two functions. First, it divides the fuel between the primary and secondary system. Secondly, It directs air from the purge air accumulator into the fuel manifolds to purge them of unused fuel at engine shutdown. A total of 14 fuei nozdes are used with a primary and secondary spray pattern.

OIL

Refer to Figure 7-9, Engine Oil System, for system configuration.

The engine oil system consists of pressure, scavenge, and breather systems with the oil tank being an integral part of the engine compressor inlet case. Oil is supplied to the engine bearings, reduction gears, accessory drives, torquemeter, and propeller governor. Oil is also used to cool the bearings. A filler neck with quantity dipstick and cap are located on top of the accessory gearbox. The quantity dipstick is marked in one US quart increments. A visual sight gauge is provided to determine oil quantity without removing the dipstick. If the oil level is in the green range of the sight gauge there is sufficient oil quantity for flight. If the oil level is below the green range, the oil system needs refilling according to the dipstick markings. If the CAWS OIL QTY caption illuminates, the oil level is not adequate for safe engine operation. It is not recommended to start a flight with the oil level below the green range on the sight glass. Total oil capacity is 3.6 US gal (13.6 liters) while usable oil quantity is 1.5 US gal (5.7 liters). The oil tank incorporates a drain plug.

An engine driven gear type pressure pump provides oil to the engine bearings, torquemeter, propeller bearings and reduction gears, and propeller governor. Oil flows from the integral oil tank, through the pick-up screen, to the oil pump. Oil then goes through a pressure regulating valve which regulates oil pressure to between 90 and 135 psi (6.2 to 9.3 bar).,A pressure relief valve opens when pressure exceeds 160 psi (11.0 bar), possibly during cold weather operations. Oil then goes through a cartridge type oil filter assembly, which incorporates a bypass valve and a spring loaded check valve. The bypass valve allows oil to bypass the filter in case the filter becomes clogged, however oil pressure drops to below 90 psi (6.2 bar) when the filter by-pass valve is open. The check valve prevents gravity oil flow into the engine after shutdown and permits the oil filter to be changed without draining the oil tank. Oil is then directed throughout the engine and applicable accessories.

The oil scavenge system incorporates two double element pumps. The oil from the reduction gearbox is pumped directly through the airframe mounted oil cooler. All remaining oil passes through the oil to fuel heat exchanger and, depending on oil temperature, is directed back to the oil tank or through the oil cooler.

When the fuel temperature is low, warm oil flows through the oil to fuel heater. At fuel temperatures above 21" C (70' F) the bypass valve begins to open and at 37" C (98' F) the bypass valve is fully open and the oil bypasses the oil to fuel heater. The scavenge system in the propeller reduction gearbox incorporates a magnetic chip detector that detects foreign matter in the system and causes the CHlP caution light on the CAWS annunciator panel to come on. Post SB 31-005 the CAWS CHlP caution light will illuminate on the ground and in flight. The chip detector also acts as the propeller reduction gearbox oil drain. Optional SB 79- 005 installs a second magnetic chip detector in the accessory gearbox. It is also connected to the CAWS CHlP caution and operates in parallel to the reduction gearbox chip detector.

The breather system allows air from the engine bearing compartments and the propeller reduction and accessory gearboxes to be vented overboard into the right exhaust stub, through the centrifugal breather in the accessory gearbox.

STARTING

Starting is provided by a combination starterlgenerator unit. Starter function is controlled by the STARTER switch on the pilot's lower left panel. This switch has two momentary positions, ON and RESET. When ON is pressed the Starter Master and the Starting Control Relays close to energize the starter. The starter will automatically disengage thirty seconds (Pre SB 24-004) 1 sixty seconds (Post SB 24-004) after the Condition Lever is moved to the GROUNDIFLIGHT IDLE position. Post SB 80-001 the Starting Control Relay is controlled by the Starter Conlrol Unit and the starter is disengaged when the engine Ng reaches 50%.

The start sequence can be interrupted at anytime by pressing the RESET position of the STARTER switch. When pressed, fhe ground is removed from Ule Starter Master Relay causing it to open and remove electrical power from the starter circuit. The Delay Starling Sequence Relay will automatically reset to zero seconds at the completion of a normal start sequence or after the RESET switch has been pressed.

During cold weather starting the thirty second starting relay (Pre SB 24-004) sequence may be completed before the engine reaches 50% Ng. The starter can be re-engaged by pressing and holding the starter switch to ON. If the starter switch is released it will reset straight away.

For improved engine starting with a cold engine (oil temperature below +5' C), use FLIGHT IDLE position for engine starting. At FLIGHT IDLE more fuel is provided during the start cycle to enhance engine acceleration to idle speed.

For information on the generator function, refer to Electrical System, this section.

IGNITION

Ignition is provided by an ignition exciter and two spark igniter plugs. The ignition exciter is a sealed electronic unit mounted at the engine cowling and is operated by the aircraft 28 VDC system. Two spark igniter plugs, located at the 4 and 9 o'clock positions in the gas generator section, provide the spark to ignite the fueVair mixture.

Ignition is controlled from the cockpit by the IGNITION switch, located on the pilot's bwer left panel. This switch has two positions, ON and AUTO. When set to ON, ignition will occur continuously.

( Pre SB 77-002. When set to AUTO, ignition will automatically activate when the ITT is less than 500' C with normal fuel system pressure and the condition lever forward of the CUT- I OFFIFEATHER position.

Post SB 77-002 and MSN 261 and UP. When set to AUTO, ignition will automatically activate, regardless ot the PCL position, when the ITT is less than 500' C and the Ng is 10% or more. It stops 10 seconds after the ITT is more than 500' C and when the Ng is less than 10%.

Ignition should be manually switched ON when operating in heavy precipitation.

FIRE DETECTION

The system Is composed of a sensor element and a responder. The sensor Is a stainless steel capllary tube filled with helium and containing a central hydrogencharged core which readily releases hydmgen gas when heated above a temperature threshold. The responder houses both the fire pressure switch and the integrity switch consisting of performed metal diaphragms which snap over center to contact statlonary pins under the effect of gas pressure.

Due to generalized temperature increase over the entire length of the sensor, the helium pressure increases and actuates the fire pressure switch triggering the alarm. Alternatively, when the sensor Is heated up Intensely over a short length, the core material releases hydrogen gas causing a pressure rise and actuates the fire pressure switch. The red ENG FlRE warning light will illuminate whenever the fire pressure switch Is activated. Both the averaging and discrete functions are reversible. When the sensor tube is cooled, the average gas pressure is lowered and the discrete hydrogen gas returns to the core material. The reduction of internal pressure allows the alarm switch to return to its nomal position, opening the electrical alarm switch.

In addition to the pressure activated alarm switch, the Integrity switch Is held closed by the averaging gas pressure at all temperatures down to -55" C. If a detector should develop a leak, the loss of gas pressure would allow the integrity switch to open and activating the system fault cautlon. The amber FlRE DETECT caution llght will illuminate when the Fire Detection system I Is inoperative.

System integrity is checked by pressing the FlRE test switch, located on the Test Panel. When pressed, the availability of electrical power and circuit continuity is checked. Proper system function Is indicated when both the ENG FlRE and FlRE DETECT annunciators illuminate. If the FIRE DETECT annunciator fails to illuminate during the test, the warnlng circuit is already dosed and will not provide proper warnlng.

SECTION 7 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

ENGINE INSTRUMENT SYSTEM ( EIS )

The Engine Instrument System is a computer controlled system which receives input from the sources shown in Figure 7-10. It displays engine and other system information and provides warnings when certain parameter limits are exceeded. The system comprises two Acquisition and Processor Units (APU) and a Display Unit (DU). Within each APU is an internal power supply and self test function.

Inputs for the displayed parameters are compared in the APU with the limitations for those parameters. If the limitations are exceeded the system illuminates an amber caution or red warning light in the DU. To help identify the exceeded parameter the appropriate LCD display will flash 40 timeslminute when the parameter is in the caution range and 80 time~/min~te when the parameter is in the warning range.

Post SB 77-002 and MSN 261 and UP. Illumination of an amber caution or a red warning on the EIS can be cancelled by pressing the appropriate master CAUTION or WARNING l ih t switch. The appropriate display will continue to flash. This will allow for any further exceeded limitations to be annunciated and shown.

The system self lest is activated by momentarily pressing: - the EIS switch on the System Test Panel located on the left side panel (MSN 101-1 11) - the test switch on the EIS panel (MSN 112 and UP). The EIS self test progressively activates all of the LCD display segments, illuminates the caution and warning lights, and checks the APUs and power supplies for serviceability. If there are no fauls detected after all of the display segments are activated, the displays will return and operate normally. If an internal faun is detected, the fault code will appear on the display before returning to the normal display. If the self test is initiated before engine start and a fault detected the EIS caution light will flash. The caution light will not flash if a fault is detected after the engine is running.

Continuous internal monitoring of the EIS system detects internal failures and automatically selects an alternate signal path for the displayed parameter wlhout alerting the pilot when the engine is running. An internal failure will be signalled to the pilot when the engine is not running by a llashing EIS DU amber caution light. To identify which failure a Self test shouM be initiated. A self test can also be initiated with the engine running in flight to check for serviceability of the EIS system. See Section 2 Limitations for EIS failures not accepted for takeofi.

For aircraft MSN 101-1 11 the EIS failure codes and system status are as follows:

Amber Caution Light flashing

300 Display Unit failure, a double APU failure causes all of the EIS displays to freeze

302 Display Unit power failure, a double power supply failure causes the EIS to go blank and the DU caution light to Mink

Aircraft MSN 112 and UP have an EIS with the two independent Acquisition and Processing Units (APU) and a Display Unit (DU) combined into a single unit. Each APU driwes a section ol the DU, both APUs acquire and can display the critical parameters of TORQUE and Ill. If a failure occurs in the APU that normally drives the TORQUE and ITT displays, the pilot can select TORQUE and Ill from the other APU by pushing the menu switch on the DU. When the secondary menu is selected the TORQUE and I l l digital values are displayed in place of the OAT and ENDUR displays. The primary analog and digital displays for TORQUE and ITT go blank.

The APUs also process the fuel quantity and fuel flow signals received from the fuel tank probes and provide a wing fuel quantity balancing function and provide continuous monitoring of all the EIS parameters. EIS fault codes are allocated to specifically identify a fault, a full 1 listing of the fault codes can be found in Chap 77 of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.

If an amber caution light illuminates after a system test before takeoff, system redundancy is lost, but flight is permitted. Maintenance is required as soon as practicable to clear the system fault.

NOTE

A fault of all serial data lines from the APUs to the DU causes the DU to turn off all display modules and suspend parameter updating. No failure code will be presented.

Within the EIS display is a fuel totalizer function. The digital display indicates total fuel remaining, fuel flow, fuel used and endurance (MSN 112 and UP). The fud QTY indicates the total computed fuel quantity in the wings. The fuel USED indicates fuel consumed based on fuel flow vs time (FUH) of engine operation. The ENDUR display (MSN 112 and UP) has a range of 9 hrs and 59 minutes and is computed from fuel fbw during engine operation. The QTY and USED values are stored in non volatile memory at shutdown. After engine start, push the FUEL RESET switch on the DU to re-datum fuel quantity to the actual fuel contents detected by the tank capacitance probes and to reset the fuel USED to zero. When the FUEL RESET switch is pushed, the APUs totals the indicated left and right fuel quantities, stores the new value in memory, and displays quantity on the DU. As fuel is consumed, the fuel QTY and ENDUR values (MSN 112 and UP) will be recomputed based on the current fuel flow.

NOTE

The computed fuel QTY value is based on a previous known quantity and will not indicate the increase in fuel quantity after fuel has been added to the wings until the FUEL RESET switch has been pushed. On aircraft 112 and UP the FUEL RESET switch must be pushed after engine start to update the digital display.

If a failure of the fuel flow sensing system occurs the fuel OTY and USED values are frozen.

I Re-setting of the fuel quantity indication is possible in flight (MSN 101-111, MSN 261 8 UP and EIS units modified to Part No. 975.29.02.015 Model PEFlOA-2C) by pressing the FUEL RESET button when the aircraft is in straight and level flight.

Electrical power is supplied to the APUs and DU from the generator 1 bus and battery bus through the EIS 1 and 2 and the EIS ACQ 1 and 2 circuit breakers (MSN 101-1 11) and the EIS 1 and 2 (MSN 112 and UP). Power to Ihe LCD permanent back-lighting is supplied from the battery bus through the EIS LIGHT circuit breaker.

TORQUE LIMITER

A torque limiter is installed on the engine at the torque transmitter boss on the forward engine case. Within the unit is a sealed bellows connected directly to the torquemeter oil pressure outlet, a chamber connected to the reduction gearbox to provide gearbox static pressure and lo a drain port on the thrust bearing cover, a balance beam, and a pneumatic pressure orilice

Oil pressure proportional to engine torque is applied through cored passages in the reduction gearbox to the sealed bellows in the limiter body. The bellows is mechan~cally connected to the balance beam and lo the conlrolling spring. With an increase in torque pressure, above the control spring selling, the balance beam adjusts to compensate lor this increase and causes the pneumatic pressure orilice to open and bleed oft Py air. As Py air pressure is bled off, the fuel llow from the FCU is reduced by closing the metering valve, causing engine speed and hence engine torque to decrease until engine torquemeter pressure is balanced by the torque control spring pressure; at this time the Py pressure orifice close.

The torque limiter limits the englne torque to below 44.3 psi. Due to ambient pressure at I altitude and interference w~th the FCU maximum governing speed, maximum torque may not be obtained.

Engine torque will drop approximately 1.7 psi per 10.000 feet of altitude. Above 102% to 104% Ng (maximum Ng limit) the torque will decrease by approximately 2.9 psi. Alter thls point the engine power is limited to maintain 104% Ng.

I The maximum torque droop due to altitude has been considered in the static takeoff and balked landing torque charts.

If the maximum torque according to the torque chart is below llat rating (below the torque limiter setting), the torque has to be set manually by the PCL. Torque limiter operation must always be verified to ensure engine l~m~ts are respected. During the takeoft and the balked landing the PCL does not need to be retracted unless any l~mits are exceeded. The torque (11 below flat rating) and ITT increases are acceptable.

=PLATUS E SECTION 7 -PC %I1 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

PROPELLER

GENERAL

Refer to Figure 7-7, Engine and Propeller Controls1 Indications and Figure 7-1 1, Propeller Pitch Mechanism.

The airplane is equipped with a Hartzell 105 in (2.67 m), four blade, variable pitch, full feathering propeller which is driven by the engine power turbine through a reduction gearing. The propeller hub and the four propeller blades are made of aluminum. Each blade incorporates an electric deice boot.

DESCRIPTION

The propeller is powered by the engine through the reduction gearbox. Propeller pitch is adjusted by engine oil pressure regulated through the Propeller GovernorIConstant Speed Unit (CSU). Nominal propeller rpm during all phases of operation is 1.700 rpm, except at low power settings at low speeds where there is insufficient energy available to rotate the prop at 1700 rprn.

The pitch change mechanism is mounted on the propeller front hub and consists of a fixed cylinder, a sliding piston, and a feathering spring. The piston is connected to each propeller blade by a fork assembly which engages a cam follower on the blade root. A counterweight is attached to each blade near its root in such a position that when the propeller is rotating the counterweight is transferred to the blade as a force tending to turn the blade to coarse pitch. The feathering spring within the cylinder also tends to move the blades towards coarse pitch and the feather position.

Oil pressure from the engine oil system is boosted to a higher pressure by a pump in the CSU. Oil pressure is then applied to the rear of the sliding piston, overcoming the force of the feathering spring and counterweights, to move the blades towards fine pitch. Thus, the blade angle is set by controlling the pressure of the oil supplied to the propeller.

In case that neither the CSU nor the overspeed governor limit the propeller speed, the Nf governor will limit the engine power (Np=109%)1853 rprn.

Should the CSU governing system fail, the overspeed governor will operate to limit the propeller speed (Np) to 106% (1802 rpm. The overspeed governor incorporates a feathering solenoid valve which is energized when the Condition Lever is moved to the CUT OFF position, causing the blades to feather. The BATTERY BUS must be powered to enable propeller feathering.

OPERATION

Refer to Figure 7-1 1, Propeller Pitch Mechanism.

In normal operation the propeller unfeathers after the condition lever is moved to Ground Idle and the engine is accelerating to idle Ng during engine start. On the ground at idle power the propeller rotates at approximately 1060 rpm. When power is increased the CSU will control propeller speed at 1700 rpm. In the air, at low speeds and idle power (F.I.) the propeller rprn may drop below 1700 rpm. The propeller feathers automatically when the condition lever is moved to CUT OFFIFX.

The propeller is reversible for operation in the Ground Operating range during ground operations only. To achieve propeller pitch below the low pitch stop, lift up the triggers on either side of the Power Control Lever (PCL) to clear the idle detent and pull aft. As the PCL moves aft, the propeller blade angle decreases to the maximum reverse blade angle of -17.5".

GROUND OPERATION WITH PROPELLER BELOW 950 RPM IS NOT PERMITTED.

PROPELLER DE ICE

Each propeller Made has an electrically heated boot on the inboard upper and lower leading edge. 28 VDC power supply for the boots is taken directly from the GEN 1. It is supplied to the propeller de-ice boots via a slip ring mounted on the rear of the spinner bulkhead and brush block mounted on a bracket on the engine. Protection against the affects of lightning strike is provided by a set of metal oxide varistors (MOV's) mounted on the brush Mock assenbly. The system is selected by the PROP DE ICE switch on the DE-ICING control panel (pilots lower right switch panel).

A deice controller unit selects power alternately to opposite pairs of blades to minimize the chance of asymmetric ice shedding. When the PROP DE ICE switch is turned ON, the timer selects automatically the appropriated cycle depending on the indicated OAT. The three possible modes are:

Mode 1 (IOAT > 0°C): the timer is in stand by and none of the blades are heated.

Mode 2 (0°C 2 IOAT > -1 6°C): blades 1 and 3 are heated for 45 seconds followed by blades 2 and 4 for 45 seconds, then all blades are off for 90 seconds.

SECTION 7 EPILATUSa AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION ?c XII-

Mode 3 (IOAT 5 -16°C): blades 1 and 3 are heated for 90 seconds followed by blades 2 and 4 for 90 seconds.

i The above cycles are repeated until the DE ICING PROP switch is turned OFF.

OAT sensing is by a sensor mounted under the left hand wing. This sensor is termed the controller and presents the principal control signal. A second sensor is mounted in an identical position under the right hand wing. This sensor is termed the comparitor and allows the control sensor to be checked.

I The Propeller De Ice Controller (PDIC) also monitors various system control functions and initiates warnings in the event of detected failures. The following functions are monitored:

- Inhibit input open - Failure of OAT sensor (Open or short sensor or unacceptable difference between

OAT controll sensor and OAT comparitor sensor) - Heater supply voltage out of tolerance - Heater current out of tolerance - Built in test for PDIC internal failure (power supply, oscillator, watchdog etc).

I Do not operate the propeller de ice system i f the aircraft is on the ground, in order to prevent overheat damage of the heating elements.

The propeller speed is displayed digitally on the EIS.

The CAWS annunciator PROP LOW P will illuminate when the propeller pitch is less than 6' (minimum pitch in flight) and the airplane is not on the ground.

The green CAWS PROP DE ICE advisory caption indicates proper system function. Upon initaition of the system the de-ice timer performs a built in test function lasting 5 seconds. A pre-flight lest is performed in this manner. The amber CAWS DE ICE advisory caption will illuminate and aural gong will sound and the green CAWS PROP DE ICE advisory caption will blink when the system electrical load is outside its limits.

eP ILATUSI SECTION 7 ?c XI1 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

FUEL

GENERAL

Fuel is contained in two integral wing tanks and is supplied to the engine in excess of that required for all ground and flight operations. Each wing tank contains drain valves. The transfer and delivery of fuel is achieved using a motive flow jet pump system and two engine driven pumps (low pressure pump and the FCU high pressure pump). Electric fuel pumps provide pressure only during the engine start sequence and as a standby function when the normal system cannot maintain adequate pressure. Fuel symmetry is maintained automatically by a Fuel Balancing Device.

Refueling is accomplished using over-wing filler caps. Fuel quantity and fuel flow rate are displayed on the Engine Instrument System (EIS). Electric pump operation, low fuel pressure. and low fuel quantity conditions will be indicated on the Central Advisory and Warning System (CAWS) annunciator panel. In an emergency, fuel flow to the engine can be stopped by pulling the FUEL EMERG SHUT OFF handle, located at the aft end of the center console, left of the airplane centerline.

DESCRlPT ION

The fuel storage system includes integral wing tanks, fuel drains, refueling ports, and vents. The main fuel tank is between ribs 6 and 16, forward of the rear and main spars. A collector tank is forward of the main spar between ribs 3 and 6. Fuel drains are located in the lower wing- skins and in the fuel service bay on the left side of the fuselage, left of the nose wheelwell. These fuel drains allow the removal of water and other contaminants during preflight.

Refueling is accomplished through an oveming filler cap located at the outer, upper section of each wing. Each wing has a usable fuel capacity of 200 US gal (758 liters) MSN 101-140. 201 US gal (761 liters) MSN 141 AND UP.

The fuel vent bay allows venting of the fuel system through inward and outward vents located on the lower surface of the outer fuel bay.

Service Bulletin 28-001 installs a check valve in the motive flow line at each collector tank. The check valves stop fuel flow between the left and right wing tanks. The check valve in the motive flow at the engine firewall on MSN 141 AND UP is not installed.

The distribution system transfers fuel from left and right wing tanks and delivers fuel from the collector tanks to the engine fuel control unit. W i i n the wing tank are electric boost pumps, transfer ejector pumps, and delivery ejector pumps. From the wing tank the fuel flows through a fuel filter, maintenance and firewall shutoff valves, an air separator, a low pressure engine driven pump, an oilfiuel heat exchanger, and a high pressure engine driven pump to the fuel control unit.

Page 488: Pilatus PC-12 Pilot s Information Manual

SECTION 7 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

OPERATION

During normal operation with the engine running, fuel is transferred from the wings to the engine by a motive flow system. Fuel under pressure from the low pressure engine driven pump is returned to the wings to provide motive flow through the transfer ejector pump and the delivery ejector pump. The transfer ejector pump transfers fuel from the wing tank to the collector tank. The left and right wing delivery ejector pumps transfer fuel to a common manifold. Fuel then flows through the maintenance shutoff valve and the fuel filter. The fuel filter incorporates a bypass valve in case the filter becomes blocked, and a spring loaded drain valve. Fuel is then directed into the air separator. The air separator passes air in the fuel system to the vent return line and incorporates the fuel low pressure switch. The fuel then passes through Ihe firewall shutoff valve to the low pressure engine driven fuel pump. The firewall shutoff valve is mechanically connected to the FUEL EMERG SHUT-OFF handle in the cockpit. The low pressure engine driven fuel pump includes a pressure relief valve that maintains a fuel pump outlet pressure of 43.5 psi (3 bar). A bypass valve allows for fuel flow around the engine driven fuel pump in the event of a fuel pump failure.

An electric boost pump, located within each collector tank, provides fuel pressure during engine start and is used to maintain system pressure when required. Each boost pump is controlled by a two position (ON or AUTO) switch located on the pilot's lower left switch panel. When set to ON, the boost pump will operate continuously. With the switch set to AUTO (the normal operating setting), the boost pump will operate automatically whenever fuel system pressure falls below 2 psi (0.14 bar). The boost pump will shutoff automatically 10 seconds after Ule fuel system pressure reaches 3.5 psi (0.24 bar). A boost pump is capable of supplying the engine in case the low pressure pump fails.

Fuel supply greater than engine demand is returned from the fuel control unit to the vent bays.

Refer to Engine Fuel System, this section, for engine fuel supply.

Fuel symmetry is automatically maintained by a Fuel Balancing Device when the Fuel Pump switches are set to AUTO. Lefl and right fuel quantities are monitored to detect fuel asymmetry

I exceeding 5% of each wing total fuel capacity (approximately 10.5 US gallons, 2 LCD segments) and will activate the fuel boost pump in the tank with the higher quantity. Fuel booster pump activation is delayed one minute to avoid pump cycling during flight in turbulence. The fuel boost pump will continue to operate until the left and right fuel levels are sensed to be equal. Automatic activation of the fuel boost pumps will only occur when the condition lever is

I out of the CUT-OFF position. To cater for refueling errors, up to 40 gallons (150 liters), up to 6 LCD segments will be automatically handled by the automatic fuel balance system. In the event of a system failure, the fuel load symmetry can be maintained by manually selecting the Fuel Pump switch to ON for the fuel tank with the higher quantity until a balanced fuel condition is restored and then turning OFF the fuel boost pump. During normal operation the pilot should monitor the fuel quantity gauges to verify that the Fuel Balancing Device is operating properly. Normal system operation is indicated by the left and right fuel quantity gauges remaining within 2 LCD segments of each other. (When a difference of 3 LCD segments is observed, the fuel boost pump for the tank with the higher quantity should be tumed ON until the quantities are even. Monitor the fuel quantity gauges for fuel symmetry for the remainder of the flight.)

When the engine is running, Generator 1 is the main source of power. It is capable of supplying the full aircraft electrical load. Generator 1 is also the engine starter motor. If the engine STARTER switch is selected ON; GEN 1 is automatically switched OFF.

Generator 2 is a secondary power supply which, in normal operation, supplies only the GEN 2 BUS (and charges the second battery - if installed). If GEN 1 fails, the GEN 2 ensures essential services are supplied, but it is unable to supply the full electrical load. With bat off, GEN 1 OH and caws cautions illuminated, do not operate the GEN 2 reset as this action may result in the loss of all electrical power (Pre SB 24-010 and MSN 101-230).

The battery (two batteries - if installed) provides power for starting the engine and, in case of an engine or double generator failure, it will supply essential electrical systems for 20 minutes if the load is reduced below 60 amps or 30 minutes if the load is below 50 amps. (When two batteries are installed they will supply essential electrical systems for 40 minutes if the load is reduced below 60 amps or 60 minutes if the load is below 50 amps).

On ground the DC system can be powered by an external power unit which is connected under the rear fuselage left side. When external power is connected to the battery, GEN 1 and GEN 2 relays remain open, preventing a direct connection between the external and airplane power sources. To apply external power to the aircraft electrical system, the EXT PWR switch on the overhead panel must be selected to ON. Post SB 24-008 and MSN 231 & UP. An external power control unit is installed which will disconnect the external power unit if the output voltage goes above 29.5 VDC or below 23 VDC.

1 CAUTION 1 THE GPU MUST BE CAPABLE OF PROVIDING A MINIMUM OF 500 AMPS FOR ALL SYSTEMS TO BE OPERATED CONTINUOUSLY AND 1,000 AMPS IF ENGINE STARTER OPERATION IS REQUIRED.

BUS BARS

The DC power sources distribute the power via an interconnected system of BUS BARS.

The BATTERY BUS, the GEN 1 BUS and the GEN 2 BUS are connected to their respective power sources through the BAT relay, the GEN 1 relay and the GEN 2 relay, each relay being controlled by a switch on the cockpit overhead panel.

The AVIONIC 1 BUS is connected to the main battery line and the AVIONIC 2 BUS is connected to the main GEN 1 line through relays controlled by switches on the overhead panel.

The NON ESSENTIAL BUS is connected to the main battery line through an automatic load shedding device.

BUS TIE INTERLOCK

To permit both generators to charge the battery (two batteries - if installed) and supply all electrical selvices, GEN 1 is connected to the BAT BUS via the BUS TIE and GEN 2 to the BAT BUS via the GEN 2 TIE. The two BUS TIES have an automatic interlock.

When the engine is running and both generators are on line, the BUS TIE is closed and the GEN 2 TIE is open. GEN 1 then supplies the GEN 1 and BAT busses and charges the battery. GEN 2 supplies only GEN 2 BUS and charges the second battery (if installed).

When both generators are off line (engine off or double generator failure), both the BUS TIE and GEN 2 TIE will close, allowing the battery (two batteries - if installed) or external power unit to supply all BUS bars.

If GEN 1 stops supplying power to the main battery line (GEN 1 fail or BUS TIE open), the GEN 2 TIE will close connecting GEN 2 (and the second battery - if installed) to the main battery line.

NON ESSENTIAL BUS

To protect GEN 2 from overload, the NON ESSENTIAL BUS is provided with an automatic load shedding device which operates when its selector switch is in the AUTO position.

SECTION 7 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

When at AUTO, if GEN 1 or an external power unit is supplying the electrical system, the NON ESSENTIAL BUS is connected; in ail other cases the NON ESSENTIAL BUS is disconnected.

If it is required to operate services on the NON ESSENTIAL BUS from either the battery or GEN 2 with no GEN 1 on line, set the bus selector switch to OVRD ON (override on) to reconnect the bus to the main battery line.

I CAUTION I MAXIMUM PERMl?TED CONTINUOUS LOAD FROM GENERATOR 2 IS 115 AMPS. ABOVE 115 AMPS, GENERATOR 2 VOLTAGE WlLL PROGRESSIVELY DECREASE AND THE BATTERY WlLL DISCHARGE.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

The COOLING, ELECTRICAL HEATING. HYDRAULIC and FLAP systems are all high current consuming systems which are connected directly to the main battery line. The electrical power circuit breakers for these systems are not accessible to the pilot (under cabin floor). The control circuits for the COOLING, ELECTRIC HEATING and HYDRAULIC (landing gear) systems are on the NON ESSENTIAL BUS.

Circuits supplied from the BUS BARS have circuit breakers on color coded panels on the left and right cockpit'walls (see Figure 7-13). The BAT and AVIONIC 1 BUS are green, the GEN 1 and AVIONIC 2 BUS are blue, the GEN 2 BUS is yellow, and the NON ESSENTIAL and AC busses are white. These colors correspond with those on the overhead panel.

Both the BUS TIE and the GEN 2 TIE are overcurrent protection devices which open automatically if the current through them is excessive to protect power supplies and circuits. The BUS TIE open automatically when the continuous current exceeds 220 amps and the GEN 2 TIE opens with a continuous 145 amps. Both TIES can be opened manually and reset, if required, by pulling or pushing the control circuit CBs on the overhead panel.

AC POWER

AC power (26 V and 115 V at 400 Hz) is provided by one of two static inverters. One inverter is powered from the BAT BUS, the other from the GEN 1 BUS. The selector switch is on the overhead panel. AC power is used only for synchro references for avionics systems.

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

Overhead Panel

The electrical system is controlled from the cockpit Overhead Control Panel. Switches are provided for the BAT (BAT 1 and BAT 2 - if second battery installed), EXT PWR, GEN 1 and GEN 2; the AVIONIC 1, AVIONIC 2 and N ESNTL busses and an INV selector switch and the BUS TIE and GEN 2 TIE control relay circuit breakers. (With a second battery installed the panel has AMP, VDC and BAT 1, BAT 2 OVERTEMP indicators).

A STBY PWR switch (if installed) when selected provides pawer to certain electrical systems, without the battery or external power circuits being on. Usage is controlled by a time delay relay and is limited to 10 minutes.

Red indicators illuminate to show when a BUS BAR is not powered. An amber indicator illuminates when GEN 2 TIE closes, indicating an abnormal condition. An green indicator illuminates to show that external power is available to the aircraft and an amber indicator illuminates when EXT PWR supplies the aircraft. A GANG BAR enables, with one action, all electrical power to be switched OFF.

I MSN 261 to 400. A GEN 1 - AMPNDC indicator is installed in the cockpit headliner to the left of the overhead panel. A current sensor installed near the generator 1 contactor will detect any current drawn from the generator 1 and send the amps reading to the indicator. The voltage signal is taken directly from the generator 1 output. Power for the indicator is taken from the battery bus through the GEN 1 VIA IND circuit breaker on the BATTERY BUS circuit breaker panel. The backlighting for the indicator is connected to the Power Management Panel backlighting system.

Engine Instrument System (EIS) (MSN 101-11 1)

To monitor electrical power output there is a voltJammeter in the EIS. Two push button switches labelled GEN 1 and GEN 2 at the top of the EIS enable the VIA meter to be selected to display battery (or external power) GEN 1 or GEN 2 output. Depressing the GEN 1 button will cause DC IND also to be shown in the button and will select the VIA meter to GEN 1; similarly for GEN 2. Depressing the button a second time will deselect the generator. When neither button indicates DC IND, the VIA meter shows battery voltage and charge or discharge current; or external power unit supply voltage when an external supply is connected and the EXT PWR switch is ON.

A positive BAT current indicates battery charging rate. A positive GEN current indicates generator output. The GEN 1 and 2 voltmeters indicate output volts before the generator relay and the ammeters show supply current after the generator relay.

SECTION 7 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

Engine Instrument System (EIS) (MSN 112 and UP)

To monitor electrical power output there are two voltlammeter displays on the EIS; BAT and GEN 2. A positive BAT cunent indicates battery charging rate. A positive GEN 2 current indicates generator 2 output. Continuous monitoring of the voltages and currents for close to limit cautions and out of limit warnings is provided by the EIS. In flight, an increase in battery current of 10 amps or more in an interval of less than 7 seconds will give an EIS warning indication.

Wth a second battery installed a BAT 1 and a BAT 2 OVERTEMP red indicator will illuminate to show H the internal temperature of a battery becomes excessive. These indicators are linked to the CAWS BAT HOT amber caption. If this caption comes on, the overhead panel battery over-temperature indicators should be checked to determine which battery is at faul before taking the appropriate action.

OPERATION

Before applying electrical power to the aircraft, ensure that all electrical services are OFF, the NON ESSENTIAL bus selector is at AUTO and the EXTERNAL PWR switch is OFF. In this condition, applying external power to the socket in the rear fuselage, will cause the green indicator to illuminate showing that power is applied and all red bus indicators to illuminate showing that no bus ban are powered.

Turning the battery (batteries - H second battery installed) ON will then cause the BAT, GEN 1 and GEN 2 bus failure indicators to extinguish. Battery vols can be checked on the EIS VIA meter. (With a second battery installed, the battery volts can be checked on the overhead panel). If external power is required, selecting the EXT PWR switch ON, will apply external power to the system and the NON ESSENTIAL bus failure indicator will extinguish. If no external power Is used and services fmm the NON ESSENTIAL BUS are required, select OVRD ON.

~XiiiGiq WHEN OVRD ON IS SELECTED MONITOR BATTERY AMPS AND VOLTS AS IT IS POSSIBLE TO RAPIDLY DISCHARGE THE BATTERY COMPLETELY WITH HIGH CURRENT CONSUMING SERVICES.

Alter engine start, selecting GEN 1 ON will cause the GEN 1 OFF CAWS caption to extinguish, the GEN 1 relay will close allowing GEN 1 to supply the GEN 1, BATTERY, and GEN 2 bus bars. GEN 1 charges the battery (charges the two batteries - if second battery installed). Selecting GEN 2 will cause the GEN 2 TIE to open. GEN 2 then supplies the GEN 2 BUS (and charges the second battery - H installed). GEN 1 supplies all the other busses. Disconnecting the external power from the airplane will cause the overhead panel green indicator to extinguish.

SECTION 7 *PLATUSW AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION Kl2

AFTER ENGINE START, SELECT GEN 1 ON BEFORE GEN 2. IF GEN 2 IS SELECTED FIRST, THE HIGH BATTERY CHARGE CURRENT MAY CAUSE THE GEN 2 TIE TO OPEN DUE TO CURRENT OVERLOAD.

The voltages and bad or charging current of the battery, GEN 1 and GEN 2 may be obse~ed by selectively operating the VIA meter push buttons on the EIS (MSN 101-1 11).

The output voltages and load or charging current of the main battery and GEN 2 may be observed from the VIA meters on the EIS. (With a second battery installed, the voltage and load or charging current of both batteries may also be obse~ed on the BAT 1, BAT 2 VIA meters on the overhead panel. The voltage and load or charging current of the second battery may be observed from the BAT 2 VIA meter on the overhead panel).

Selecting AVIONIC 1 and 2 switches to ON applies power to the AVIONICS busses and extinguishes their red failure indicators. It is not significant which INVERTER is selected, as long as the INVERTER CAWS caption is not illuminated.

When the electrical system is functioning correctly, all indicator lights on the overhead panel are extinguished.

I MSN 261 to 400. Before engine start with power supply on, the GEN 1- AMPNDC indicator will read approximately zero. After engine start with the generator 1 on-line, the GEN 1 indicator will show the voltage and current drawn from the generator 1. In the event of a generator 1 failure the indicator display will reduce to zero. If the current sensor or the internal power supply of the indicator fails the display will show an E in all the segments. If the power supply to the indicator is not available or too low the display will remain blank.

LIGHTING

INTERIOR

Cockpit lighting consists of internally lit cockpit instruments, glareshield mounted floodlights, control wheel reading lights, and a dome light. Light intensity is controlled by switches and reostats located at the aft end of the center console. Separate intensity control of the pilot, copilot, and center console panels is provided. The overhead and side panel intensity is controlled with the center console switches. The overhead dome light can be set to two preset intensities ot 50% or 100% brightness. The advisory lights are on a fixed dim circuit. The map light on each control wheel is controlled by separate rheostat.

NOTE

Cockpittcabin curtain must be installed and closed during night flight to prevent glare and reflection in the cockpit area.

A switch located on the forward edge of the cabin door (accessible when open) will activate a timer for the cockpit overhead dome light. When pressed the dome light will on for 45 seconds to facilitate night preflight boarding.

A vestibule light illuminates the cabin airstairs and the baggage area has an overhead light. The main cabin is equipped with an overhead flood light system that can be set to 50% or 100% brightness as selected by the cockpit switch. Individual reading lights are provided for each passenger seat and are controlled by a switch in the cockpit and by a switch near each seat.

I Optional SB 33-007 installs an additional light in the baggage compartment. It is operated by a push switch installed on the bulkhead trim adjacent to the cargo door. The light stays on for five minutes when the switch is pushed. For continued lighting the switch must be pushed again.

EXTERIOR

POSITION AND STROBE

Exterior lighting consists of a position and strobe light on each wing tip, a white position light on the tail, a landing light on each main landing gear, a taxi light on the nose landing gear, and a wing inspection light mounted in the left fuselage forward of the cabin door. These lights are controlled by switches located on the pilot's lower panel to the left of the Center console.

I BEACON LIGHTS (Post SB 33-002)

Optional red flashing beacon lights can be installed on the top of the horizontal stabilizer fairing and on the lower center fuselage. They give recognition during ground operation and additional anti-collision protection in flight. The lights are controlled by a three position switch OFF, BEACON, STROBUBEACON located in the External Lighting switch panel to the lower left of

the center console. Power for the lights is supplied from the battery bus through the circuit breaker RED BEACON.

RECOGNITION LIGHTS (Post SB 33-001)

Optional recognition lights and power supply units can be installed in the left and right forward outer flap fairings. They provide forward illumination during taxiing and enhance the conspicuity of the aircraft in the traffic pattern or enroute. The lights are controlled by an ONIOFF switch located in the External Lighting switch panel to the lower left of the center console. Power for the lights is supplied from the generator 1 bus through the circuit breaker RECOG LIGHT.

LOGO LIGHTS (Post SB 33-003) I Optional logo lights can be installed under each side of the horizontal stabilizer. They provide illumination of the vertical stabilizer to show the owner's logo. The lights are controlled by a three position switch OFF, LOGO, TAXI/LOGO located in the External Lighting switch panel to the lower left of the center console. Power for the lights is supplied from the battery bus through the LOGO LIGHTS circuit breaker, which is installed in the rear fuselage. Each logo light has two filaments, if the battery is the only power source one filament in each light will illuminate. When the Generator 1 is on-line all four filaments will illuminate. If the Generator 1 fails in flight, two filaments are automatically switched off. The remaining two filaments should be switched off manually. Avoid prolonged use of the logo lights when the aircraft is on the ground without external power.

DUAL FILAMENT NAVIGATION LIGHTS (Post SB 33-009) I Optional dual filament navigation lights can be installed in place of the standard lights. The lights are controlled by an electronic switch unit installed adjacent to each navigation light assembly. When the EXTRENAL LIGHTS NAV switch is set to ON the electronic switch units start a 4.5 minute test sequence. During this time both filaments in each navigation light are on and show as a bright light. This gives sufficient time to check that all the filaments are serviceable. If a light is seen to be flashing, it is an indication that one filament is unserviceable. After the test sequence is completed the secondary filament will go off. It will only come on again if the primary filament fails. Each electronic switch unit has a thermal protection fuse which, if a failure condition occurs and the two lights come on, will open after slx minutes and make the second filament go off.

SECTION 7 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEM

GENERAL

Refer to Figure 7-14, Environmental Control System, for system layout.

The Environmental Control System (ECS) is designed to take engine bleed air, reduce its temperature to that desired, and deliver it to the cabin air distribution system for pressurization and ventilation. The ECS consists of an air cycle system, a distribution system, and a control system. The air cycle system cools a portion of the bleed air and then mixes it with hot bleed air to provide the correct temperature. A firewall shutoff valve can be closed to prevent contaminated air from entering the cabin in the event of an engine compartment fire.

DESCRIPTION

The air cycle system consists of a flow control venturi, a heat exchanger, a cooling turbine, a temperature control valve, a water separator, P3 shutoff valve, a system main shutoff valve, and associated non return valves and control sensors.

The flow control venturi is sized to regulate flow and pressure.

The heat exchanger is an aluminum single pass, crossflow, plate and fin unit. The unit includes one charge air tap to assist the injection of water into the heat exchanger coolant intake. The evaporation of the water on contact with the heat exchanger surface increases the efficiency of the unit.

The cooling turbine is a ball bearing turbo fan and consists of a radial turbine in a stainless steel assembly coupled to an axial flow fan. The turbine casing incorporates a containment ring.

I The Temperature Control Valve is three ported consisting of one inlet and two outlets and driven by a 28 VDC actuator. The valve body and rotating drum are aluminum. The actuator has gearing, limit switches, and magnetic brake to control the reversible series wound motor.

The water separator consists of an aluminum shell containing a coalescor and its support. The coalescor collects moisture from the passing air and forms large droplets which then enter a swirl section, where they are removed by centrifugal force. The separator has a spring loaded poppet valve which allows air to bypass the unit in the event of the coalescor becoming blocked.

The P3 shutoff valve is solenoid operated and allows automatic selection between P3 and P2.5 compressor stages depending on flight condition to maintain the pressure schedule required for cabin pressurization.

A Firewall Shutoff Valve enables isolation of the system in emergency conditions such as an engine lire. Operation ol the Firewall Shutoff Valve also opens a ram air scoop on the right luselage underside which introduces ambient ventilation air through the distribution system. This is used in the event of smoke in the cockpit or cabin.

DUE TO THE COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ENGINE COWLING AND THE POSSIBILITY OF TOXIC GASES, THE AIRPLANE ECS MUST BE SHUTOFF WHEN A FIRE CONDITION IS SUSPECTED.

OPERATION

Air is drawn from the P2.5 and P3 compressor bleed ports on the engine casing. This consists ol a single port in the case of the P2.5 connection and two diametrically opposed ports lor the P3 connections. The bleed air will be taken exclusively from the P2.5 port during normal operat~on. However, when the engine is at idle there is insuflicient pressure to maintain cabin pressurization. When the P2.5 bleed air pressure falls below a specific value, a pressure sensor in the bleed air ducting opens the P3 shutoff valve. This creates a back pressure on the non-return valve at the P2.5 port and closes the valve to shut OH the P2.5 bleed. The bleed air lhen passes through the Primary Shuton Valve and the Flow control venturi, which is 1 sized to regulate the bleed air flow rate and pressure.

1 Pre SB 21-003 - The air then passes on to the heat exchanger.

Post SB 21-003, MSN 181 and UP - The air then passes on to the Temperature Control Valve (TCV). At the TCV the bleed air splits where variable amounts are either supplied to the Heat Exchanger or to a mix point downstream ol the Cooling Turbine .

The heat exchanger is cooled by ambient air drawn from a NACA intake in the airplane skin. Cooling airflow is provided by the Heat Exchanger Coolant Fan located downstream of the I heat exchanger.

%PILATUS E SECTION 7 ?c XI1 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

Pre SB 21-003 - The duct downstream of the turbine is the mixing duct where the now-cooled I turbine exhaust air is mixed with air taken from upstream and downstream of the heat exchanger. The mixing proportions are controlled by the Temperature Control Valve (TCV) by regulating the amount of bypass air to be added. The TCV is an electrically operated three port valve which opens first to let through air from the heat exchanger outlet and then, as necessary, opens further to allow higher temperature air from downstream of the Flow control venturi to be added to achieve the desired temperature. The TCV operation is controlled by the Temperature Control System.

Post SB 21-003. MSN 181 and UP - The duct downstream of the turbine is the mixing duct where the now-cooled turbine exhaust air is mixed with un-cooled bleed air directed from the other port of the TCV. The mixing proportions are controlled by the TCV. The TCV is an electrically operated three port valve with one inlet and two outlet ports. Depending on the selected temperature the TCV modulates to either pass air through or bypass the Heat Exchanger and Cooling Turbine. The TCV operation is controlled by the Temperature Control System. d

The Temperature Control System has two modes of operation as selected on the AutoIManual switch. In the Auto mode, TCV operation is controlled by electrical signals from a cabin temperature sensor, located on the cabin headliner, to maintain the selected temperature between 18°C and 30°C. I Pre SB 21-003 - The TCV will open if the cabin temperature is less than desired and close if the temperature is greater than desired. I Post SB 21-003. MSN 181 and UP - The TCV will move to allow more bleed air to bypass the Cooling Turbine if the cabin temperature is less than desired. Conversely it will move to pass more air through the Heat Exchanger and Cooling Turbine if the temperature is greater than desired.

The temperature of the duct downstream is monitored by a temperature sensor and will limit the movement of the TCV as required to keep the duct temperature within the maximum and minimum temperature limits. In the Manual mode, a separate switch marked HOT and COLD directly controls the position of the TCV.

I CAUTION 1 WHEN OPERATING IN THE MANUAL MODE THE SYSTEM MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM TEMPERATURE LIMITS ARE DISABLED AND THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING THE SYSTEM BY SETTING OUTLET TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE THESE LIMITS. THE MANUAL MODE SHOULD THEREFORE ONLY BE USED WHEN IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CONTROL THE ECS AIR OUTLET TEMPERATURE USING THE AUTOMATIC MODE.

SECTION 7 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

From the mixing duct the conditioned air passes through a water separator. Moisture Is removed from the conditioned air and drawn to the heat exchanger and sprayed into the heat exchanger intake. The conditioned air passes through the Firewall Shutoff Valve and the non- return valves to the cabin for distribution. The non-return valves prevent sudden depressurization in the event of a loss of cabin air supply.

The air enters a small plenum where it is distributed to the cockpit and the cabin. Cockpit air is directed to fixed outlets (adjustable outlets - MSN 321 & UP) at the crews feet and to adjustable outlets adjacent to the instrument panel. Air to the cabin is introduced through fixed outlets placed at floor level along bath sides of the cabin.

The ECS will automatically shut down when the engine starter is activated.

\

Cabin air temperature is displayed on the center console fotward of the engine power controls. Overpressure and overtemperature switches are installed to monitor the system. If pressures greater than 33 psi (Pre SB 21-003) 40 psi (Post SB 21-003, MSN 181 and UP) are sensed in the bleed air line downstream of the Flow control venturi, temperatures greater than 290°C in the bleed line upstream of the Primary Shutoff Valve, temperatures greater than 105OC are sensed in the air line downstream of the water separator, or if the Firewall Shutoff Valve is closed, the ECS will automatically shutdown. The CAWS ECS annunciator will illuminate when

I the ECS is automatically shutdown.

HEATING SYSTEM (MSN 101-320)

GENERAL

Refer to Figure 7-14, Environmental Control System, for system layout.

The PC-12 is equipped with an auxiliary electrical heating system which is used to supplement the air cycle system during prolonged low temperature operations such as cruise at high altitude. It can also be used for preheating the cabin on ground.

DESCRIPTION

The system comprises of two 28 VDC heating units each equipped with a 75 mm mixed flow fan. Cockpit and cabin air is drawn through the units and recirculated back into the main ECS distribution system. Each unit is cylindrical in form and contains three heating elements producing a total of 1.5 kwlunit. The system therefore produces a total of 3 kW in addition to that of the air cycle system.

SECTION 7 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

The unls are situated adjacent to each other under the cabin floor between frames 18 and 19.

Pre SB 21-002 - One heater is dedicated to the cockpit and the other to the cabin. The fan on the cockpit heater unit scavenges its air from the underfloor area in which it is situated and from two outlets in the left hand side of the cabin roof headliner. The air is passed across the heating elements where its temperature is raised. It then passes through ducting to the cockpii distribution system downstream of the underfloor plenum aft of frame 15. Here it is mixed by means of an ejector type nozzle with conditioned bleed air from the air cycle system. The fan on the cabin heater unit also scavenges its air from the underfloor area and from two outlets in the right hand side of the cabin roof headliner. Air passes across the heating elements where its temperature is raised. It then passes rearwards to the cabin distribution system downstream of the plenum. Here it is mixed with conditioned bleed air by means of an ejector type nozzle. The effect of the units.when operating is to increase the flow rate and temperature of air in the main distribution system and at all of its outlets in the cockpit and cabin area.

Post SB 21-002, MSN 181 and UP - One heater is dedicated to the LH side and the other the RH side of the cabin. The fan on the heater units scavenges its air from the underfloor area in which it is situated. The air is passed across the heating elements where its temperature is raised. It then passes through ducting to either the LH or RH distribution ducts integrated in the cabin sidewall bwer interior panels where it mixes with the condiiioned bleed air. Additional spillage ducts reduce the back pressure on the heater fans by ducting discharge air into the condiiioned bleed air distribution system upstream of the cabin sidewalls.

OPERATION

The system is controlled by a three position rocker switch situated on the pilot's lower left panel to the lett of the pilots control yoke. The HEATING SYSTEM switch positions and power supplies are as follows:

Pre SB 21-002 - OFF which electrically isolates both healers and fans, CABIN which allows selection of the cabin heater and fan only, and CKPT 8 which Selects both heaters and fans together. The cockpit heater and fan can not be operated by itself. The cockpit heater is supplied 28 VDC power from the GEN 1 bus. The cabin heater is supplied from the GEN 2 bus.

Post SB 21-002, MSN I81 and UP - OFF which electrically isolates both heaters and tans. LOW which allows selection of the LH side cabin heater and fan only, and HIGH which selects both heaters and fans together. The RH side cabin healer and tan can not be operated by itself. The cabin RH heater is supplied 28 VDC power from the GEN 1 bus. The cabin LH heater is supplied from the GEN 2 bus.

I

The power for the heater circuits is interrupted when the hydraulic pump is operating. The fans continue to run. This minimizes generator accessory loads during continuous normal operation and prevents generator overload after failure.

SECTION 7 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

Each unit is equipped wWh an internal thermal protection syslem which isolates the heater when the element temperature exceeds 200 "C (Pre SB 21-002) 259 "C (Post SB 21.002, MSN 181 and UP). In such a case the fans continue to run until the temperature falls bebw the reset value when the heater is again energized.

The need lor supplemental heating is reduced during engine P3 operation. The heaters and tans are not active on the ground during ground idle mode, during a flight idle descent, or any other time when P3 bleed is being extracted.

When the Vapor Cycle Cooling System (VCCS) is being operated the heaters are isolated but the fans will continue to run. This prevents an excessive current drain on the electrical generation system.

The heater and fan units can also be operated independently of the bleed air system for pre- healing the aircraft before engine start when required. For this the aircraft must be connected to a 28 VDC external power supply.

Thermal protection and interlock with P2.51P3 bleed extraction and VCCS operation is fully aulomatic and requires no pilot input. The units will operale conlinuously and independently of the Cabin Air Temperature Control System when selected. Temperature control of the cabin is a lunction 01 the air cycle system. If the air temperature of the cabin exceeds the selected value the air cycle system will compensate by moving to a cooler position by passing more air through the syslem cold air unit. The mixed air temperature at the main distribution system outlets will then become colder.

There are no special operating procedures for the system. The units can be selected when desired. The cabin air temperature display on the center console gives a good indication of when they are required. i t is recommended that the heaters be selected on when the cabin air temperature is observed to fall to 18 OC. However, selection at cabin air temperatures above 18" C wlll help in preventing an initially cold cabin.

( System tunction may be monitored on the GEN 1 (MSN 101-111) and GEN 2 DC current indrcation on the EIS Display Unit.

Pre SB 21-002 - When the CKPT position is selected, an increase of approximately 60 amps 1 will be observed on the GEN 1 (MSN 101-1 11) output. When the CAB B position is selected,

an increase of approximately 60 amps will also be observed on the GEN 2 output.

Post SB 21-002 - When the LOW position is selected. an increase of approximately 60 amps will be observed on the GEN 2 output. When the HIGH position is selected, an increase of approximately 60 amps will also be observed on the GEN 1 (MSN 101-1 11) output.

HEATING SYSTEM (MSN 321 Q UP and aircraft with modified heating system)

OENERAL

Refer to Figure 7-14A. Environmental Control System, for the system layout.

The PC12 is equipped with an auxiliary electrical heating system, whlch is used to supplement the air cycle system during prolonged tow temperature operations such as cruise at high altihrde. It can also be used for pre-heating the cabin on the ground.

DESCRIPTION

The system comprises two 28 VDC heating units each equipped with a 75 mm mixed flow fan. Each unit is cylindrical in form and contains two heating elements producing 1.625 kW1unit. The system therefore produces 3.25kW in addition to that of the air cycle system. The units are situated under the cabin floor, one is dedicated to heating the cabin and the other to heating the under floor avionics bay. The cabin heater is supplied 28 VDC power by the GEN 1 bus and the under floor heater is supplied by the GEN 2 bus.

The under floor heater is located between frames 21 and 22. The fan scavenges its air supply from the general under floor zone, through a wire mesh inlet grill, and passes it over the heating element where its temperature is raised. The air is then distributed along the length of the under fbor avionics bay by way of a longitudinal distribution duct.

The cabin heater is located between frames 29 and 30. The fan draws its air supply from the cabin, through a grill in the rear floor step. The heated air is then ducted directly to the ECS distribution duct in the cabin sidewall and augments the ECS airflow. The airflow created by the cabin heater is effective in equalizing the temperature throughout the cabin.

Both heater units are equipped with an internal thermal protection system, which isolates the heater when the element temperature overheats. In the event of an over heat, the fans continue to run and the relevant CABIN or UIF HEATER circuit breaker, located in the rear left circuit breaker panel on the pilots side, will trip. The heater will remain isolated until the temperature falls within the heater allowing the circuit breaker to be reset by the pilot.

The power for the heater element circuits is interrupted when the hydraulic pump or cooling system (VCCS) is operating. The under floor fan continues to run, the cabin fan is inhibited. This minimizes generator accessory loads during continuous normal operation and prevents generator overload.

The heating capacity of the system is reduced while the engine is operating at P3 bleed in flight. The cabin heater and fan are inhibited while airborne and P3 bleed is extracted, the under floor heater and fan remain operating. While on the ground (WOW valid) the cabin

SECTION 7 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

heater and fan continue to operate when P3 is extracted. During engine start and for 10 seconds following engine start both heaters and fans are inhibited.

The function of the power inhibits are fully automatic and require no pilot input. Thermal protection, once tripped, will require pilot action to reset.

OPERATION

The Auxiliary heating system is controlled by a combination of the ECS switch and the CABlN HEATING switch, situated on the pilot's lower left panel to the left of the pilots control yoke. Selecting the ECS switch to AUTO or MANUAL will automatically enable the under floor heater. Selecting the CABlN HEATING switch to AUTO will enable the cabin heater.

When selected, both heater elements are automatically controlled by temperature sensors located in the under floor and the rear cabin. The sensor outputs are processed along with pilot inputs, power supply condition inputs and heater thermal safety switch condition to enable or inhibit the heater and fan functions.

With the ECS switch selected to AUTO, the under floor fan runs continuously and the heater element is switched on when the under floor sensor reads below + 5°C and is switched oft above + ll°C. The cabin fan runs continuously when the CABlN HEATING switch is selected to AUTO and the heater element is switched at +/- 1°C about a nominal cabin temperature of 24°C. This switching temperature can be adjusted from 21°C to 27°C by using the HEAT CAB potentiometer located in the maintenance panel. It is recommended that the potentiometer be normally set to the mid (24°C) position.

Both heaters and fans can be operated independently of the ECS bleed air system for pre- heating the aircraft before engine start when required. Switching the CABlN HEATING to AUTO will select both heaters on when the aircraft is connected to a 28 VDC external power supply.

There are no special operating procedures for the system. Temperature control of the cabin is principally a function of the air cycle system (ECS). The CABIN TEMP display on the center console gives an indication of the cabin air temperature. It is recommended that the CABlN HEATING switch be kept at AUTO and the ECS TEMPERATURE control be used to adjust the cabin temperature. With the cabin heater operating, the recommended ECS TEMPERATURE control settings, based on the IOAT, are:

- 20°C IOAT, set the control to the mid (12 o-clock) position - 40°C IOAT, set the control to the MAX (hot) position

System function may be monitored on the GEN 1 AMP indication on the overhead panel and GEN 2 DC A indication on the EIS Display Unit.

When CABIN HEATING is selected ON the GEN 1 output will increase by approximately 60 amps. The under floor heater can be checked by monitoring the GEN 2 output. A reading of more than 50 amps indicates that the heater is on.

FOOT WARMER SYSTEM (OPTIONAL OR POST SB 21-004)

The system comprises a 28 VDC 1kW heater installed forward above the cockpit floor. Ducting connects the heater to foot outlets at the pilot and copilot position. A rocker type switch HEATING FOOT is installed on the pilot's lower left panel. It has the positions ON and OFF. Power supplies are 28 VDC from the powerline to the heater relay and from the non essential bus through the FOOT WARMER circuit breaker to the switch.

OPERATION

The foot warmer system operates from the aircraft electrical power or from external power. When the HEATING FOOT switch is set to ON 28 VDC is supplied to the heater relay. The relay is energized and the heater and fan operates. The heated air is sent by the fan to the pilot and copilot foot outlets. if the temperature of the heater becomes too high the thermal protection switch operates and de-energizes the heater relay.

SECTION 7 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

COOLING SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)

GENERAL

The Vapor Cycle Cooling System (VCCS) (when installed) is designed to operate on the ground from a 28 VDC power cart or aircraft electrical power when the engine is operating. The electric motor driven system provides a means of precooling cockpit and cabin areas prior to and during passenger boarding, providing comfort prior to engine start.

The system may be operated during ground operations and up to an altitude of 25,000 feet.

This type of system removes a large percentage of the moisture as well as dust and pllen particles from the cabin air.

DESCRIPTION

Refer to Figure 7-15, Vapor Cycle Cooling System.

A refrigerant gas is the media which absorbs heat and rejects heat from the cabin air. By continuous recirculation of cabin air, heat is absorbed in the evaporator modules and transferred to the outside through the system condenser.

The system is provided with safety interlock devices to prevent component damage andlor excessive power drain from the aircraft electrical system. The evaporator modules are equipped to prevent coil icing at all ambient conditions.

Cabin temperature control is by varying the airflow through each evaporator module rather than cycling the refrigerant compressor. Airflow is controlled by the flight crew. The cabin is cooled by air ducted from the two evaporators located just forward of the aft pressure bulkhead and exhausted through individuals outlets down the left and right sides of the cabin. A third evaporator, located between the other two, exhausts air directly into the cabin.

The cockpit is cooled by individual outlets located in the overhead panel. These outlets receive air ducted from the two evaporators in the cabin.

Report No: 01 973-001 7-91 1

Page 532: Pilatus PC-12 Pilot s Information Manual

SECTION 7 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

OPERATION

When the system is activated, an electric motor drives the compressor at constant speed and capacity which compresses the refrigerant gas to high pressure. The hot, high pressure gas then passes through the condenser coil where it is cooled and condensed into a warm liquid at constant pressure. The heat removed from the fluid is exhausted overboard through a vent in the right rear tail section aft of the pressure bulkhead. The warm liquid from the condenser is then routed into a receiver-dryer container where the liquid and any remaining gas are separated and any moisture in the liquid is absorbed. The warm dry, high quality liquid is then routed to the evaporator module expansion valve where the high pressure liquid is expanded to a low pressure. The large expansion process creates a super cool liquid which passes through the evaporator coil and absorbs heat from the warm cabin air. The cooled air is returned to the cabin. The gas, now warm, is returned to the compressor to repeat the cycle.

Moisture removed lrom the cabin air by each evaporator drains into a small holding tank below the rear baggage floor panel. The water is held in the tank until the cabin differential pressure is low enough for the the tank outlet valve to open allowing the water to drain ov8rboard.

The VCCS operation is controlled by three switches located on the pilot's lower lefl panel; COOLING SYSTEM, FLOOD FAN, and VENTS FANS.

The COOLING SYSTEM switch has three positions. The OFF position removes power from both the compressor and the evaporator fans. The RECIRC position will supply power to the evaporator fans only for recirculation of the cabin air. The ON position will supply power to the fans and the compressor.

Cabin air temperature control is accomplished by selecting evaporator fan speed. The evaporator fan speed is controlled by the FLOOD FAN and the VENTS FANS switches. Each switch has two positions, LOW and HIGH. When the FLOOD FAN switch is set to LOW, power is removed from the center evaporator fan. When the FLOOD FAN switch is set to HIGH, the center evaporator fan blows cool air directly into the cabin. The VENTS FANS switch controls the speed of the evaporator tans which blow cool air into the left and right overhead ducts. Individual outlets in the overhead panel are adjustable for local temperature control at each seat location.

When the VCCS is operating, a blue COOL annunciator will illuminate on the CAWS panel. The GEN 1 DC Indication will increase by approximately 100 amps for compressor and evaporator fans operation.

CABIN PRESSURIZATION CONTROL SYSTEM

GENERAL

Control of the cabin pressure is obtained by regulating the rate of exhaust of the outflow air that is provided for pressurization and ventilation of the airplane cabin. Operation of the Cabin Pressurization Control System (CPCS) is entirely pneumatic, except when switching between ground and flight operating modes and during manual inlight depressurization. Mode switching and inflight depressurization are accomplished through solenoid operated valves (Pre SB 21- 001)1 a solenoid valve (Post SB 21-001 and MSN 141 AND UP) controlled by the weight on

/ wheels switch, a microswitch on the engine condition lever and the DUMPIAUTO switch on the I ECS control panel. The CPCS will maintain the selected cabin altitude up to a maximum

pressure differential of 5.75 psi, equivalent to a 10.000 foot cabin altitude at a cruising altitude of 30,000 feet.

DESCRIPTION

Refer to Figure 7-16, Cabin Pressurization, for system layout.

The CPCS consists of a cabin outflow valve controller, two cabin outflow/safety valves, an auxiliary volume tank, a check valve, a ejector valve, a manual control valve, two solenoid

I valves (Pre SB 21-001)l one solenoid valve (Post SB 21-001 and MSN 141 AND UP), a condition lever switch, a depressurization switch, a weight on wheels switch, and indication of cabin altitude, cabin altitude rate of change, and pressure differential. Airplane electrical power is supplied to the system for the mode switching, solenoid operation, cabin altitude warning on the CAWS, and outflow valve controller lighting.

The outflow valve controller is pneumatically connected to the system through three ports: VALVE, TANK, and VACUUM. The controller VALVE port is connected to the outflow valve control chamber to provide control reference pressure for operation of the outflow valve. The controller TANK port is connected to the auxiliary volume tank, located near the controller. The VACUUM port is connected to the ejector valve which provides a source of low pressure air. The controller contains a chamber that houses an absolute pressure bellows and a rotating actuator. This chamber is vented to the cabin through the cabin air sense port. Rotating the cabin altitude selector knob on the face of the controller to the desired altitude, causes the actuator to rotate and compress or extend the bellows depending on the direction of knob rotallon. The bellows position controls the reference pressure applied the outflow valve control chamber. The cabin rate control selector knob on the face of the controller adjusts the position of the rate control valve. Rotating the knob counterclockwise decreases rate of change while rotating the knob clockwise increase the rate of change. When the arrow is at 12 0' clock the rate of cabin altitude change is approximately 500 fpm. The rate of change can be adjusted from approximately 100 fpm to 2000 fpm.

Low pressure needed for operation of the controller is provided by the ejector valve, which is connected to the controller VACUUM port through a check valve and a normally open solenoid valve (Pre SB 21-001). The ejector valve is also connected to the safety valve through a 1 normally closed solenoid valve to provide the low pressure to operate the valve for inflight depressurization and unpressurized ground operation. Engine bleed air flows through the ejector valve inducing low pressure to be applied to the controller. The check valve installed in the vacuum line behveen the ejector valve and the controller prevents high pressure bleed air from entering the control system in the event that the ejector valve exhaust becomes blocked.

The manual control valve is connected on one side to the control line from the controller to the outflow valve. The other side of the manual control valve is vented to atmospheric pressure. Opening the manual control valve reduces the pressure in the outflow control chamber, opening the outflow valve. The manual control valve controls the cabin pressure from the unpressurized condition to the maximum differential with the outfiow valve controller inoperative.

The auxiliary volume tank is a small sealed chamber that adds volume to the controller rate chamber to increase the accuracy of the rate of change control.

There are two cabin oufflowlsafety valves located under the cabin floor. These valves are identical except for the installation and intended function. The outflow valve is connected to the controller and controls cabin pressure. The safety valve is connected to the vacuum line from the ejector valve through a normally closed solenoid to open for inflight depressurization and unpressurized ground operation. Both valves are vented to atmospheric pressure. Each valve senses control chamber-to-atmosphere pressure differential and modulates to maintain the selected pressure differential.

Pre SB 21 -001

Two solenoid valves are installed in the CPCS. One valve (solenoid valve 1) is installed in the low pressure line from the ejector valve to the controller and is normally open. The other valve (solenoid valve 2) is installed in the safety valve control line and is normally closed. These solenoid valves are controlled by the pressurization switch, AIR/GND switch, or the microswitch on the condition lever. When these switches are activated, vacuum is applied to the safety valve to depressurize the cabin. Electrical power for the mode switching is from the ECS circuit breaker on the battery bus.

OPERATION

Pre SB 21-001

During normal ground operation with the pressurization switch in AUTO and the condition lever in the Ground ldle position, solenoid valve 1 will close and solenoid valve 2 will open when electrical power is applied to the system.

Immediately before takeoff, set the desired cabin rate of climb and set the outflow controller to 500 feet above the airplane cruise altitude.

When the condition lever is moved to the flight idle position prior to takeoff, electrical power is removed lrom both solenoids. Solenoid valve 1 will open and vacuum is applied to the controller. Solenoid valve 2 will close, removing the vacuum from the safety valve and allowing it to move to the closed position.

During normal ground operation with the pressurization switch in AUTO and the condition lever in the Ground ldle position, the solenoid valve will open when electrical power is applied to the system. The airplane will be unpressurized. Before selecting the ECS on, set the desired cabin rate of climb and set the outflow controller to 500 feet above the airplane cruise altitude. After engine start and engine bleed air is supplied to the ejector valve, the outflow valve and the safety valve will open

/ When the condition lever is moved to the flight idle position prior to takeoff, electrical power is j removed from the solenoid. The solenoid valve will close, removing the vacuum from the safety , valve and allowing it to move to the closed position. As before, the controller applies a low I reference pressure to the outflow valve control chamber.

As the airplane altitude increases, the cabin altitude increases at the selected rate of change until the preselected cabin altitude is reached. Cabin altitude is then maintained until the cabin altitude controller is set to a different cabin altitude, the airplane descends below the selected cabin altitude, or the airplane climbs to an altitude where the maximum pressure differential is exceeded.

Should the airplane climb to an altitude where the cabin-to-abnosphere pressure differenlal exceeds the calibrated settings on the outflow/safety valves, the pressure relief fIJn~ti0n overrides the automatic pressure control function, and the cabin altitude rate of change begins to track the airplane altitude rate of change.

NOTE

If the airplane climbs at a high rate with a low cabin rate selected on the controller, the positive pressure relief function may activate before the airplane reaches the selected cruise altitude.

When operating at a cabin altitude that produces a pressure differential near the maximum limit and a climb is initiated, select a higher cabin altitude on the outflow valve controller so that the cabin altitude is controlled by the rate control and not by the positive pressure relief function of the outflow valve.

I f an unpressurized condition is desired for an emergency (smoke in the cabin), select the DUMP position on the pressurization switch to apply electrical power to the solenoid valves. Solenoid valve 1 closes, removes the vacuum from the controller and closes the outflow valve. Solenoid 2 opens, allows vacuum to be applied to the safety valve and opens the valve. Cabin air is quickly exhausted to the atmosphere, depressurizing the airplane cabin. An alternate means to depressurize the cabin is by closing the Bleed Air Firewall Shutoff Valve located at aft end of the center console.

Repressurizing the airplane cabin after depressurization is accomplished by setting the pressurization switch to AUTO to remove electrical power from the solenoid valves. Solenoid valve 1 opens and applies a vacuum to the controller. Solenoid valve 2 closes and removes the vacuum from the safety valve, causing the valve to close. Automatic control functions return and the CPCS operates on the rate-of-change control until the selected cabin altitude is regained.

safety valves. When the control chamber-to-atmosphere pressure differential is sufficient, poppet valves open and allow air at atmospheric pressure to flow into the cabin until the pressures are equal. This condition may occur during a rapid descent as the airplane descends through the selected cabin altitude. Selecting a lower cabin altitude before a descent is commenced, will allow the cabin altitude to be controlled by the rate controller and prevent an unpressurized condition.

During descent and in preparation for landing, select a cabin altitude approximately 500 feet above landing field elevation and select a cabin rate of change that will bring the cabin altitude to the new setting before the airplane descends to selected cabin altitude. This reselection should be accomplished far enough in advance to prevent the airplane from descending through the cabin altitude, which may occur because of a low cabin rate of change selection. As the airplane descends through the preselected cabin altitude, the cabin becomes unpressurized and follows the airplane rate of descent to touchdown. On approach check that the cabin is depressurized. At touchdown the AIRIGND switch closes.

After landing when the condition lever is set to Ground Idle, electrical power is applied to the solenoid valves. Solenoid valve 1 closes, removing the vacuum from the controller and closes the outflow valve. Solenoid 2 opens, allows vacuum to be applied to the safety valve and opens the valve.

After landing when the condition lever is set to Ground Idle, electrical power is applied to the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve opens, allows vacuum to be applied to the safety valve and opens the valve.

The cabin altitude selector displays the selected airplane cnrise altitude and the corresponding cabin altitude at the maximum pressure differential. The actual cabin altitude, cabin altitude rate of change, and cabin pressure differential are displayed on the copilots lower panel.

It is possible to operate at a cabin differential pressure above the normal operating range if the cabin altitude controller was improperly set by the pilot or i f a system failure has occurred. A 'dead band' exists between the normal operating maximum differential pressure (5.75 psid) and the pressure at which the system relief valves open (6.35 psid). This "dead band' is indicated on the cabin differential pressure gauge by an amber arc between 5.75 and 6.5 psid. A red radial at 6.5 psid indicates the maximum permissible cabin pressure and is the maximum switching point set for the cabin pressure differential warning switch.

The CAB PRESS annunciator on the CAWS will illuminate when the cabin altitude exceeds ) 10.500 * 200 feet or when the maximum cabin pressure differential is exceeded.

I PC12 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

OXYGEN SYSTEM

GENERAL

The airplane is equipped with an emergency oxygen system for use by the crew and passengers in the event of contaminated air being introduced into the cabin or a loss of pressurization with a rapid descent to tower altiiudes.

The pilot and copilot masks are supplied with quick-donning diluter-demand masks which are permanently connected to outlets in the cockpit sidewalls.

A constant flow mask is provided at each passenger seat location in the cabin. In the Corporate Commuter interior configuration the nine masks must be connected to the bayonet outlets In the cabin sidewall before flight by the flight crew for flights above 10,000 ft. In the executive interior configuration the masks (the number is dependant on the interior variation) are located in boxes in the arm rests and are permanently connected for all flights. No connection actin is required by the flight crew or passengers.

DESCRIPTION

An oxygen cylinder, made of composite material, is located in an external compartment in the right side of the fuselage forward of the main wing (outside the pressure area) from which the oxygen system is serviced and replenished (Refer to Section 8 for servicing instructions).

Pre SB 35-001 - Attached to the cylinder head is a manual isolation valve to perm& cylinder removal and installation, a connection to the ground charging valve, a connection to the contents pressure gauges, and a connection to the over-pressure relief valve.

Post SB 35-001, MSN 181 and UP - Attached to the cylinder head is an isolation valve to permit cylinder removal and installation. The valve is connected by a push pull cable to a handle in the cockpit allowing the system to be isolated while the aircraft is on the ground. The valve is connected to the aircraft supply, ground charging valve, the contents pressure gauges and the over-pressure relief valve.

Two gauges are provided, one in the service bay and one on the lefl cockpit side panel forward of the Test Panel. Overpressure protection is provided by a relief valve in the form of a green rupture disc located in the fuselage skin above the service bay door. This disc is designed to rupture at 2775 +50/-0 psi, discharging the cylinder contents overboard. Disc integrity is checked during the preflight inspection. If found ruptured and the contents pressure gauge indicates zero, proper maintenance must be performed on the system before flights above 10,000 R altitude.

When filled, the storage cylinder should be charged to 1850 psi (127.6 bar) at 20" C. with a minimum pressure of 265 psi (18.3 bar) for proper flow to the masks. A pressure reducing valve, adjacent to the oxygen cylinder reduces the oxygen pressure to a nominal 70 psi, prior

to entering the cabin. This is for safety reasons and to avoid excessive flow through the masks.

Two crew full-face masks of the diluter demand type are located In boxes on the front of the cockpit bulkhead behind each crew member. They are permanently connected to outlets in the cockpit sidewalls. Each mask which is of the diluter-demand type, is equipped with a microphone and an ONIOFF - AIRMIX/100% selector valve. Oxygen is provided to the crew masks at all times regardless of the Oxygen control valve position. Each mask has a PRESS TO TEST button and a flow indicator that shows when proper pressure is supplied to the mask. Turning the PRESS TO TEST button counterclockwise to the emergency position will supply 100% oxygen at a slight overpressure.

Post SB 35-001, MSN 181 and UP - The oxygen shut-off handle is mounted to the right of the centre console. It is connected by a push pull cable to the isolation valve on the cylinder head. While the aircraft is on ground the handle is normally in the OFF position isolating the cylinder from the system and preventing prolonged leakage fmm the crew masks. Before engine start and as the first action associated with the oxygen system, the handle should be moved to the ON position.

The Oxygen Control Valve, located in the left cockpit sidewall, has three positions to control the operation of the passenger distribution system. The OFF position stops the flow to the passenger outlets. The ON position permits flow to the passenger masks. The AUTO position will permit flow to the passenger masks when a pressure switch senses a cabin altitude above 13,500 feet +I- 500 feet.

In the Corporate Commuter configuration the passenger constant flow oxygen masks are stored under or near each seat position. For flights below 10,000 ft altitude the masks need not be connected to the outlets in the lower cabin sidewalls. In the event of an emergency requiring oxygen use, the passengers are instructed to connect the mask bayonet type connector to the outlets themselves. For flights above 10.000 ft altitude the mask must be connected to the outlets by the flight crew before flight. When disconnected, the outlets are spring loaded closed to prevent oxygen leakage.

In the executive interior configuration the passenger constant flow oxygen masks are stowed under covers placarded OXYGEN MASK INSIDE in the cabin sidewall armrests. The masks are permanently connected to the outlets irrespective of the type of operation and flight altitude. The mask stowage compartments are located near to the seats. The masks have a red tape band which must positioned to show from the cover in the direction accessible to the seat occupant. A placard PULL TAPE FOR OXYGEN MASK is attached to the armrest near each oxygen mask cover. Optional SB 35-003 installs an oxygen mask in the lavatory. The mask is connected to the passenger oxygen system and is stowed in a box attached to the top of the lavatory sidewall. A visible red tape band is pulled to release the oxygen mask.

In aircraft with an optional three seat bench installed, an oxygen mask is stowed below each seat behind a cover in the front pedestal of the bench seat. A red tape band attached to the mask shows from the panel and assists in the removal of the mask, in the event of it being required for use.

OPERATION

I WARNING 1 TO PREVENT POSSIBLE FREEZING AND MALFUNCTIONING OF SYSTEM, MAKE SURE THAT SYSTEM IS ONLY SERVICED WlTH APPROVED, AVIATION GRADE OXYGEN.

TO PREVENT POSSIBLE EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE, MAKE SURE ALL OIL AND GREASE IS KEPT AWAY FROM OXYGEN SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

SMOKING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED ANY TIME OXYGEN IS IN USE.

OILY, F A l l Y OR GREASY SUBSTANCES, INCLUDING SOAPS, LIPSTICK. AFTER SHAVE LOTION, MAKE-UP ARE CAPABLE OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION ON CONTACT WlTH OXYGEN.

Normal system operation is with the three-position Oxygen Control Valve in the AUTO position, to provide oxygen immediately in the event of a depressurization. The crew will then don their own masks and order the passengers to don their masks. The masks in an executive interior aircraft can easily be removed from their stowage by pulling the red tape band showing from the cover marked OXYGEN MASK INSIDE. Oxygen flow to the cabin is verified by the oxygen pressure switch activating the CAWS annunciator PASS OXY.

The ON position will be selected by the pilot, in the event ol smoke or fumes being present in the cabin, and also to test the passengers masks on the ground before passenger boarding. The OFF position will be selected if the aircraft is being flown without passengers or is taken out of service for an extended time in order to conserve oxygen.

NOTE

When a full oxygen supply is stored, it will supply two crew and nine passengers for a minimum of ten minutes, in which time a descent from 30.000 ft to 10,000 ft is performed. Refer to the Oxygen Duration Chalt in Section 4 to determine the minimum oxygen supply required for the number of occupants when operating at less than full oxygen pressure.

As the oxygen system is an emergency system, normal usage will consist only of periodic mask testing (both crew and passengers masks require testing) and of checking, and topping up, if necessary, the storage cylinder.

INDICATION I WARNING

Oxygen system pressure is indicated on a gauge on the left cockpit sidewall fonvard of lhe Test Panel. A pressure switch downstream of the Oxygen Control Valve will activate the CAWS annunciator PASS OXY when proper oxygen pressure is supplied to the passenger masks.

OPTIONAL LARGER CAPACITY OXYGEN SYSTEM

The system has a 1965 liter gaseous oxygen cylinder installed in the top left side of the rear hrselage compartment, behind the rear pressure bulkhead. The cylinder head isolation valve is secured in the open position. System shut off, when the aircraft is on the ground, is by a rotary valve connected to the cable from the oxygen shutolf handle on the center console. The rotary valve is installed between frames 16 and 17 on the right side of the fuselage. A pressure transducer installed near the oxygen cylinder sends a pressure signal to the pressure gauge on the lelt side of the cockpit. The oxygen replenishment point comprising a charging valve and a system pressure gauge is installed at the bottom of the rear fuselage compartment. The system overpressure protection burst disc indicator is installed on the left side of the rear fuselage.

System controls and operation are the same as for the standard system. The system with full oxygen pressure will meet the Canadian Operational CAR 605.31 and CAR 605.32 requirements. Refer to the Oxygen Duration Chart in Section 4 to determine the minimum oxygen supply required for the number of occupants when operating at less than full oxygen pressure.

CENTRAL ADVISORY AND WARNING SYSTEM (CAWS)

GENERAL

Refer to Figure 7-18, Central Advisory and Warning System (CAWS) Annunciator Panel, for more informat~on on the warning/caution/advisory lights.

DESCRIPTION

The Central Advisory and Warning System (CAWS) annunciator panel integrates the control and dlsplay functions of aircraft systems status into a single unit. The CAWS annunciator panel contains lights indicating warning, caution, and advisory conditions. The CAWS annunciator panel is located at the lower center section of the instrument panel.

A warning light is red and indicates a condition that requires an immediate corrective action by the pilot.

A caution light is amber and indicates a condition that requires a pilots attention but not an immediate reaction.

Advisory lights are green and blue. A blue advisory light indicates an operating system that has high electrical power requirements or automatic system.

Red MASTER WARN and amber MASTER CAUTION lights are positioned directly in front of the pilot and copilot, above the EADl on the instrument panel. They alert the crew to changes in status on the CAWS annunciator panel. Any condition that causes a red or amber CAWS light to come on also causes the applicable MASTER WARN or MASTER CAUTION light to come on. An audible tone will sound through the overhead speaker andlor headset(s) anytime a MASTER WARN or MASTER CAUTION light comes on. Pushing the applicable MASTER WARN or MASTER CAUTiON light will extinguish that light. The CAWS warning or caution light that triggered the MASTER WARN or MASTER CAUTION light will remain on.

The individual lamps of the annunciators can be checked by pressing the LAMP test switch on the System Test Panel located on the left cockpit sidewall.

The CAWS has a continuous Built In Test that checks the CAWS function. When an error in the CAWS is detected, the MASTER CAUTION light will blink and the CAWS can be reset by pressing the MASTER CAUTION.

PlTOT STATIC SYSTEM

GENERAL <

4 The pilot static system obtains dynamic and static pressure to operate instruments for flight inlormation.

t

DESCRIPTION

P~tot pressure, for the airspeed indicator is sensed by a heated pilot head which is installed on the boltom of the right wing and is carried through lines within the wing and fuselage to the gauge on the instrument panel. Static pressure for the airspeed, encoding altimeter, vertical speed, as well as the cabin altimeter differential pressure indicator, is sensed by two static ports, one each side of the rear fuselage aft of the rear pressure bulkhead. They connect to a single line lead~ng to the instruments. The dual pickups balance out the differences in static pressure caused by slight side slips or skids. Also, a tapping is taken from the static line to supply the cabin altimeter differential switch. From the pitot and static lines, tappings are taken to supply the autopilot air data computer.

If one or more of the pitot static instruments malfunction, the systems should be checked for dirt, leaks or moisture. The holes in the sensors for pitot and static pressures must be fully open and free trom blockage. Blocked sensor holes will give erratic or zero readings on the instruments. The static line may be drained by a valve located fuselage bottom right side, aft of the rear pressure bulkhead. The pitot system can be drained by a valve located in the right bottom wing root.

The heaters lor the pilot head and static ports are controlled by the DE ICING PROBES switch located on the pilot's lower right swrtch panel. Electrical power lor healing and CAWS indication IS supplied through the PlTOTlSTATlC DE ICE and PlTOT DE ICE circuit breakers on the I generalor 2 bus. Refer to the Probe Deice Schematic in Figure 7-19.

STALL WARNING 1 STICK PUSHER SYSTEM

GENERAL

The airplane is equipped with a stick shaker-pusher system to improve aircraft handling in the low speed flight regime by preventing the airplane from inadvertently entering a stall condition. The stick shaker-pusher system contains two Angle-of-Attack (AOA) sensors, two computers, a single stick shaker, a single aural warning device and a single stick pusher. The two computers are connected in such a way that either computer can, independently, provide stall warning (stick shaker and aural warning) but both computers are required to actuate the stkk pusher.

DESCRIPTION

Refer to Figure 7-20, Stall WarninglStick Pusher System, for system operation.

The left and right Stick Pusher Computers are each provided power from the Battery and Generator 1 bus. Each computer receives inputs from its respective AOA vane and AIWGND switch. Both computers receive inputs from the engine torque, flap position, and self test. From these various inputs, each computer independently determines the 'Defined Angle of Attack" for stall warning (aural stall warning and stick shaker activation), stick pusher activation, and stick pusher disengagement following an actual push.

The stick pusher, shaker, and the aural stall warning are disabled on the ground through the AIRIGND switches, except for the self test function. The stick pusher is inhibited for 5 seconds after lift-OM. The shaker and the aural stall warning are operative immediately atter lift-off.

The stick pusher actuator has a built-in g-switch which inhibits the stick-pusher when the airplane's normal acceleration becomes less than 0.5 g. The output torque of the stkk-pusher actuator is electronically-limited to have a force of 60 to 65 Ibf on the control .wheel. A slip- clutch on the stick-pusher capstan allows control on the elevator with a force of 85 to 90 Ibf on the control wheel, in the event of stick-pusher jam. The force on the control wheel is defined when the longitudinal control is pulled to Y4 of its travel. This allows the pilot or copilot to override the stick-pusher in the instance of an inadvertent operation.

I Each outboard control wheel horn is equipped with a PUSHER INTR push switch providing a means to quickly disengage the stick pusher actuator in the event of an inadvertent operation.

When operated in PUSHER ICE MODE (to provide protection in icing conditions), all the shaker and pusher actuating points are shifted down by 8" AOA. The pusher ICE mode is set when the propeller de-icing system is switched ON and the inertial separator is set to OPEN. When both pusher computers are set in ICE mode, the amber CAWS PUSHER ICE MODE caution is activated. An aural gong will sound. If only one computer is set in ICE mode, or if no computer is set in ICE mode while conditions for ICE mode are present, the amber PUSHER caution is activated. An aural gong will sound.

=PLATUSI SECTION 7 -PC XII- AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

The system is provided with a self test function that can be activated at any time by pressing and holding the PUSHER switch located on the Test Panel. The amber PUSHER and amber PUSHER ICE MODE annunciator will remain illuminated until the self test is passed.

The system must be tested when the airplane is on the ground before takeoff. With the engine operating at a minimum of 5 psi torque, set the flaps to 15" and press and hold the PUSHER test switch. The following sequence will be observed; PUSHER ICE MODE caution, aural stall 1 waming with stick shaker for 2 seconds followed by a 1 second pause, aural stall waming with stick shaker for 2 seconds followed by a 1 second pause, aural stall waming with stick shakers, stick pusher and PUSHER ICE MODE caution until test switch is released. During the pusher operation, check for proper pusher interruption when each DISC switch is pressed. If the test switch is pushed and the test sequence does not occur and/or the PUSHER annunciator remains illuminated, the system has failed the self test and further flight before maintenance is not approved. If the test switch is pushed without the engine operating above 5 psi torque and the flaps are not set to IS0, the PUSHER annunciator will remain illuminated with the aural warning and the test sequence will not occur.

The system function may be tested in the air anytime the engine is operating with the flaps at any setting. Press and hold the test switch and observe the following sequence; PUSHER ICE MODE caution, aural stall waming with stick shaker for 2 seconds followed by a 1 second pause, and the aural stall warning with stick shaker for 2 seconds. The pusher will not activate when the system is tested inflight. If the test switch is pushed and the test sequence does not occur and/or the PUSHER annunciator remains illuminated, the system has failed the self test.

STALLS MUST BE AVOIDED WHEN THE STICK PUSHER IS INOPERATIVE. EXCESSIVE WING DROP AND ALTITUDE LOSS MAY RESULT DURING STALL WITH FLAPS DOWN AND/OR WHEN POWER IS APPLIED.

The AOA vanes and mounting plates are electrically heated by internal heating elements. AOA vane and mounting plate heat is controlled by the PROBES DE ICE switch located on the pilot's lower right switch panel. Refer to Figure 7-20, Stall WaminglStick Pusher System for system schematic.

OPERATION

The vane attached to the AOA probe aligns itself with the relative airflow. As it moves, it positions a wiper unit in the probe. This wiper unit adjusts the electrical output to its respective

'

pusher computer. As the airplane approaches the artificial stall (5 to 10 knots before pusher actuator), the stick shaker and the aural stall warning will activate when one of the AOA pusher compulers senses the defined angle of attack for stall warninglstick shaker activation. If the stall warnings are ignored and the approach to stall is continued, the stick pusher will activate , when both AOA pusher computers sense the defined angle of attack for stick pusher activation. The stick shaker and aural stall warning remain active during pusher operation.

Pusher operation will be stopped when either AOA computer senses an angle of attack lower 1

than the angle of attack required to active the pusher or when the airplane acceleration is less . than 0.5 g.

I Activation of the stick shaker disengages the autopilot if engaged, in order to give full authority I

to a possible stick pusher activation. The autopilot can be manually reconnected alter the angle of attack is reduced and the stick shaker has ceased operation.

IF ACCELERATED STALLS ARE PERFORMED IN THE LANDING CONFIGURATION WITH HIGH POWER AND SIDESLIP, A RAPID PITCH-DOWN MAY RESULT WITH AN ALTITUDE LOSS OF UP TO 500 FEET.

Activation of the stick shaker disengages the autopilot if engaged, in order to give full authority to a possible stick pusher activation.

INDlCATlON I WARNlNG

A digital serial output, from the left hand computer, provides the data for the FASTISLOW pointer on the EFlS EADI. (Refer to EFlS section for more information). I In the instance of disparity between the LH and RH weight-on-wheels inputs, the Central Advisory and Warning System annunciator AIWGND and PUSHER are activated to warn the pilot of the malfunction.

The stick pusher computers have an internal-fault monitoring system which will illuminate the I CAWS PUSHER annunciator when one of the following events occur:

a built-in test failure a push signal from only one computer that is longer than 3 seconds no output toque during a push if either of the pilot or copilot DISC switches is pressed ii the aircraft normal acceleration is below 0.5 g for longer than 3 seconds.

A malfunction in either pusher computer activates the Central Advisory and Warning System annunciator PUSHER to warn the pilot about a system malfunction and the pusher becoming inoperative.

The stkk shaker and aural stall warning devices may still be operational i f the stick pusher is inoperative.

The CAWS annunciator PROBES DE ICE will illuminate when the DE ICING PROBES switch is set to ON. The CAWS annunciator AOA DE ICE will illuminate when a malfunction is sensed in the AOA vane or mounting plate heater circuits (current sensing).

The CAWS PUSHER ICE MODE caution will illuminate when the propeller de-ice system is set ON and the Inertial separator is set OPEN. In the ICE mode, the shaker and pusher activation points are coming 8" earlier than in the NORMAL mode and the FASTISLOW pointer is set for a 15" flap landing.

If the Flap Control and Warning Unl detects a flap asymmetry or a twist and the flap angle is greater than 2" it will make the CAWS FLAP caution come on and will send a sisnal to the stick pusher computers. This will set the stick pusher computers to a 'safe' mode irrespective of the actual flap position. The 'safe' mode will make the stick pusher operate at approximately 5 kts higher airspeed for the failed flap position. The setting of the stick pusher computers to the 'safe' mode will also make the CAWS PUSHER caution come on 10 seconds after the FLAPS caution, to annunciate the condition.

PNEUMATIC WING DEICE SYSTEM

GENERAL

Inflatable neoprene boots are installed on the leading edges of the wings and horizontal tail surfaces. Their purpose is to inflate and dispense any ice which may accrete on their surface during flight in atmospheric icing conditions. When not in use, the boots have a vacuum applied to prevent partial inflation while in flight.

I

DESCRIPTION

The airplane is equipped with inflatable pneumatic deicing boots fixed to the leading edges of the wings ( two boots per wing- inboard and outboard) and the horizontal stabilizer. Air bled from the 3rd stage of the engine compressor section, is routed to the regulator-reliever valve of nominal 14 psi regulating pressure, then through a water separator to the ejector flow control valves. These valves, which are solenoid-operated, port air pressure to the deicing boots in a prescribed sequence: - first to the horizontal stabilizer deicer, then to the lower portion of the inboard wing deicers, the upper portion, the lower portion of the outboard wing deicers, and finally the upper portion. Progression through this sequence is controlled by an electronic Timer/controller and monitored by low pressure sensing switches in each line, which are linked to annunciator lights in the CAWS.

When pressure is not being applied to the deicer boots a small airflow is allowed to pass through the ejector valves to impose a vacuum in the lines to the deicing boots. This provides a negative air pressure at the boots ensuring the airfoil contour is maintained.

The pneumatic deice boot consists of a smooth neoprene and fabric blanket containing small spanwise deicer tubes. Each wing deicer has two air connections - one for the tubes on the lower surface and one for the tubes on the upper surface. The smaller boots on the horizontal stabilizer have one connection only.

The deicer boots are cement-bonded to the airfoil leading edges and have tapered edges to conform smoothly with the wing contour. The deicer boots are approximately 0.075 inches thick and have a 'neoprene' surface.

The water separator is located upstream of the ejector control valves. Its function is to remove any condensation from the system and consists simply of a set of vanes which introduce a rotational swirl to the air that removes entrained water through centrifugal forces. A drain connection is fitted to the bottom of the housing to vent the moisture overboard.

The pressure-reliever valve consists of a spring and poppet valve which, at the required pressure, will open to allow air to pass from the inlet to the outlet port. The nominal regulating pressure is 14 psi. It also has an integral relief valve relieving at 18 psi.

SECTION 7 =PLATUSE AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION ?c XI1

OPERATION

Refer to Figure 7-21, Pneumatic Wing Deice System.

In the OFF mode the system applies a continuous vacuum to the de-ice boots while the engine is running. The system is initiated by moving the switch on the DE-ICING control panel (pilots lower right switch panel) labelled BOOTS to either 3 min or lmin position. This activates the timer. When activated the timer actuates each ejector flow control valve (EFCV) in the prescribed sequence, for eight seconds. The time to inflate and deflate all of the de-icer units is thus 40 seconds. There is then a dwell period of 20 seconds (if the 'one minute cycle' has been selected) or of 140 seconds (if the 'three minute cycle' has been selected) before the inflation sequence is repeated.

Pressurization of each de-icer will cause the pressure switch to close, maintaining constant illumination of the green CAWS caption 'DE ICE BOOTS". Operation of the wing boots can also be obsewed directly during ground checkout or from the airplane cabin. If the control System is de-activated during a de-icing cycle, the cycle will be completed prior to system shut-down.

( CAUTION I OPERATION OF THE PNEUMATIC WING DEICE SYSTEM IN AMBIENT TEMPERATURES BELOW -40' C OR ABOVE 40' C MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE DEICER BOOTS.

INDICATION I WARNING

Proper system function is indicated by constant illumination of the CAWS green DE ICE BOOTS annunciator which takes an input from pressure switches in each pneumatic supply line at the inlet to each boot. Shouid the supply pressure during an inflation sequence fall below a prescribed value min 4 0 psi, indicating failure, then the CAWS DE ICE BOOTS caption will blink and the amber caption DE ICE is illuminated. An aural gong will sound.

After failure of the de-icing boots, the aircrew should prepare for departure of icing conditions

I as soon as possible.

AlTlTUDE AND HEADING REFERENCE SYSTEM

GENERAL

The Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) supplies pitch, roll, heading and turn rate information to h e EFlS EADl and EHSl and the Radio Magnetic Indicator (RMI). The system maintains accurate indications in all aircraft attitudes. The AHRS is installed in the avionics bay and the magnetic sensing unit is within the right wing.

DESCRIPTION

The computer processes information from a Sensor Module containing a Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG) a two-axis Electrolytic Tilt Sensor, and from a Flux valve. The system requires 28 V DC power from either the AVIONICS 1 or AVIONICS 2 bus AHRS circuit breaker and 26 V AC from the inverter through the AHRS HDG (for RMi) and AHRS ATT (for Wx Radar) circuit breakers. The DGISLAVE switch, located on the pilot's lower left switch panel, enables full gyro operation with CW and CCW slave capability.

OPERATION

When one of the AVIONICS switches is turned ON, the system automatically goes through an alignment process. During the first 15 seconds, phase 1, self-test functions and coarse alignment are performed. The duration of alignment phase 2 depends upon airplane movement. Under static conditions, no ground movement or during straight and level flight. phase 2 align'ment is completed after a further 15 seconds (30 seconds after power application) and attitude and heading references are valid. I f excessive motion is detected during alignment, the AHRS switches to the moving alignment sequence and completion of the phase 2 alignment will take additional time. On completion of the alignment process, the ATTITUDE FAIL and HDG flags will disappear from view on the EFlS displays and the RMI.

During normal operation, the aircraft has complete freedom to maneuver in all axis without risk of the AHRS toppling. When in straight and level flight, the system continually re-datum's the indications, at a slow rate, to earth vertical and magnetic North.

During continuous orbiting maneuvering with LCR-92 AHRS the attitude and heading will not re-datum and after approximately 20 to 30 minutes the attitude and heading information is unreliable and warning flags are set. If the warning flags are set, a reset can be performed by flying straight and level for 10 to 60 seconds. If the AHRS does not recover after 1 minute of straight and level flight, a hardware failure has to be suspected. To avoid this situation and to maintain AHRS accuracy, fly the aircraft straight and level for 1 minute after each 15 minutes of continuous maneuvering.

Two switches on the pilot's lower left panel control the source of heading information displayed. The DGISLAVE switch selects a free gyro mode when set to DG or AHRS heading information when the switch Is set to SLAVE. The CWICCW switch slews the heading card

BUILT-IN TEST EQUIPMENT (BITE)

The AHRS provides attitude, rate of turn and heading information regardless of aircraft maneuver. BITE detects any system errors that occur and causes the appropriate flag to appear on the EADl or EHSl indicating a system failure.

INDICATION / WARNING

During normal operation the following faults may be detected and displayed:

AlTITUDE FAIL (red) Appears on the EADl when attitude information is unreliable and horizon display blanks out.

HDG FAIL (red) Appears in the EHSl and the RMI when heading information Is unreliable.

I CAUTION 1

AN ENGINE RELIGHT CAN GIVE A TRANSIENT DC VOLTAGE DROP, CAUSING THE AHRS TO LOSE ITS REFERENCE, FORCING THE SYSTEM TO REALIGN WHEN THE VOLTAGE IS RESTORED.

SECOND AHRS INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)

An optional second AHRS provides an alternative source of aircraft attitude, rate of turn and heading information.

The system comprises a second computer installed in the avionics bay, a second magnetic sensing unit installed in the right wing and a selector push switch installed on the pilots instrument panel.

The second AHRS information can be selected by pressing the push switch to AHRS 2. Pressing the switch to AHRS 2 also transfers the autopilot operation, the RMI heading source and the weather radar stabilization data to the second AHRS.

If the AHRS selection is changed the autopilot will automatically disconnect. It can be re- engaged manually.

YAW RATE SENSOR INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)

An optional remote mounted sensor when Installed, provides angular rate information, displayed independent of AHRS function on the EFlS EHSl display unit(s).

ELECTRONIC FLIGHT INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM EFS 40150

GENERAL

The Bendix King Electronic Flight Instrumentation System ( EFlS ) is an electronic navigation display system. The system receives data from the AHRS, angle of attack, and navigation systems. The data is displayed to the pilot on two multimode color displays.

The following information is applicable to both pilot and copilot (if installed) EFlS installations and the EFlS MFD (if installed).

DESCRIPTION

The EFIS symbol generator receives information from flight systems either directly or through data converter adapters. Data such as aircraft attitude, heading, rate of turn and respective valid flags are received from the Attitude and Heading Reference System ( AHRS ), and angle of attack information are received from the SPWU. Navigational data from the various systems, either directly or through data converters is also received by the symbol generator. The information is processed and displayed graphically on two multicolored Display Units (DU). A reversionary mode select switch is dedicated to EFlS 1, EFlS 2 (if installed) and EFlS MFD (if installed) in order to allow composite mode selection if one tube or a partial symbol generator failure occurs. This function allows the restoration of critical flight data.

The symbol generator monitors the system for faults using continuous Built In Test (BIT) and, if errors are detected, are displayed on the DU's. A self test is available by pushing the TEST REF switch which initiates a self test of the system the result of which is displayed on the DU's.

Two DU's are installed in the instrument panel. The DU's are electronically identical but differ physically, with a slip-skid inclinometer installed on the upper DU. During normal operation, the upper DU is used as an Electronic Attitude Director Indicator ( EADl ) and the lower DU is used as an Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator ( EHSl ).

The EFlS control panel is installed in the center console. This control panel is for the selection of display mode, format and navigation data, brightness control of the display units, course pointer, and heading bug selection.

The EFlS is supplied with DC power from both the AVIONICS 1 and AVIONICS 2 bus. This prevents a total loss of the system in the event of a single DC bus failure. Similarly, system AC power can be provided from either of two switchable static inverters ( BAT or GEN ).

TRK Buttons: When pressed provides a yellow azimuth line and a digital display of the azimuth line placement left or right of the airplane nose. For vertical profile (VP) operations. the track bunons perform the two functions:

1. Prior lo engaging VP, the appropriate button (left or right) is used to place the track line at the desired azimuth angle to be vertically scanned (sliced). When VP is engaged, the slice will be taken at the last position of the track line, whether it is visible or not. If the track line has not been selected after power has been applied to the system and VP is selected, the slice will be taken at 0" (directly in front of the airplane).

2. Continuously holding the TRK button will result in the system slicing in 2" increments.

GAIN Control Knob: Manual gain control becomes active only when GND MAP is selected. Gain is automatically set for all other modes.

Tilt Control Knob: Permits manual adjustment of the antenna tilt angle to a maximum of + I - 15" in order to obtain the best indicator presentation. The tilt angle is displayed in the lower left comer of the display.

Lightning Button: Selects the Lightning display when pressed if a weather mode (if installed) is selected for display.

Lightning Detection and Display (if installed)

The Stormscope System detects lightning activity 360 degrees around the aircraft up to a distance of 200 nautical miles. The system processes the lightning data and transmits it to the EFIS in the form of cells (areas) of electrical discharge (not individual discharges). The locations of up to 63 cells are displayed, together with the intensity level of each cell. There are three levels of intensity, level 1 is the lowest rate of electrical discharge and level 3 is the

highest.

The lightning display mode is selectedldeselected on the weather display by pressing the Lightning button on the Radar Control Panel. The lightning mode status is shown on the EflS display in a data field above the weather radar data fields. The lightning data field shows a lightning bolt followed by ON (lightning mode selected). OFF (lightning mode deselected) or FLT (fault). The default condition is lightning mode OFF at system power up.

With lightning mode ON, up to 63 grey colored lightning cell symbols can be displayed on the

EFIS. There are three lightning cell symbols to show the different levels of lightning intensity.

Page 603: Pilatus PC-12 Pilot s Information Manual

=PILATUSr SECTION 7 -PC %I1 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

The level 1 (lowest rate of discharge) symbol is a lightning bolt with no arrowheads. Level 2 has one arrowhead. Level 3 (highest rate of discharge) has two arrowheads. The lightning symbols can appear anywhere in the 360 degrees of display area (unlike weather radar information).

A pushswitch marked STORMSCOPE CLEAR is used to erase the lightning data from the Stormscope System memory. This removes the accumulated lightning cell symbols from the EFlS display in order to start a new display.

OPERATION

Refer to the BendixlKing EFS 40150 Pilot's Guide for detailed operating information.

When the main DC distribution system is energized, the EFlS is switched on by selecting the AVIONICS 1 and AVIONICS 2 switches to ON. Various flags may be annunciated on the displays after initial power on, indicating systems which are not immediately ready for use.

At initial power on the system conducts a self test. The displays should be clear of waming flags shortly after power on. System testing can be initiated using the test switch.

In the event of a DU or EADl symbol generator failure, a combined ( composite ) display of EADl and EHSl information may be displayed on the remaining operational DU. This is accomplished by setting the appropriate EFlS switch to the CMPST position. The navigation information added is the standard deviation scale. selected course and heading, distance information, selected navigation sensor, and the TOIFROM display. This format presents the pilot with a familiar display that requires minimal transition time when it is selected for use. The function of the control panel, navigation guidance presentation and color coding remain the same as in normal operation.

The pilot's EFlS switch is located on the pilot's lower left panel and the copilot's EFlS switch (if installed) is located on the copilot's lower right panel.

A composite display may be selected on the MFD (if installed) by setting the EFlS MFD switch, located on the copilot's lower right panel, to the CMPST position. This display is the same as the pilot's EFIS composite display when mode is selected.

I AUTOPILOT

GENERAL

The autopilot installed in the PC-12 aircraft is the BendidKing KFC 325 Digital Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS). The limitations presented in Section 2 of this Handbook are pertinent to the operation of the KFC 325 AFCS as installed. The Automatic Flight Control System must be operated within the limitations specified. Refer to the appropriate sections of this Handbook for the Emergency and Normal Procedures associated with this installation.

The KFC 325 Digital AFCS has 3 axis control: pitch, roll and yaw

The KFC 325 Digital AFCS has an automatic electric pitch trim system which provides pitch autotrim during autopilot operation. When the pitch autotrim function is in operation, a signal is sent to the triple trim indicator to illuminate the pitch trim light (if this version of indicator is installed). The autotrim system is designed to withstand any single inflight malfunction. Trim faults are visually and aurally annunciated.

The KFC 325 Digital AFCS has an automatic rudder trim relief function which provides directional trim during yaw damper and autopilot operation. When the rudder autotrim function is in operation, a signal is sent to the triple trim indicator to illuminate the rudder trim light (if this version of indicator is installed).

No aileron autotrim function is available.

Vertical autopilot functions include Altitude Select and Vertical Speed modes.

A lockout device prevents autopilot engagement until the system has been successfully preflight tested.

GENERAL

This section contains factory-recommended procedures for proper ground handling and routine care and servicing of the PC-12 airplane. It also identifies certain inspection and maintenance requirements that must be followed i f the airplane is to retain its performance and dependability. It is recommended that a planned schedule be followed for lubrication and preventive maintenance based on climatic and flying conditions which may be encountered.

All correspondence regarding the airplane must contain a reference to the manufacturer's serial number (MSN) and be addressed to:

PILATUS AIRCRAFT LTD. CUSTOMER SUPPORT DEPARTMENT. CH-6371 STANS, SWITZERLAND

Tel: 41-41-619 64 54 Fax: 4141-610 33 51 Telex: 866 202 PlLAT CH

Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. cannot accept responsibility for continued airworthiness of any airplane not maintained in accordance with the information contained within this section or the Airplane Maintenance Manual (AMM).

IDENTIFICATION PLATE

An identification plate is located on the lower left side of the fuselage aft of the cargo door. This plate displays the manufacturer's name, model designation, serial number (MSN), date of manufacture and the FOCA and FAA type certificate numbers.

Certain regulations may require an identification plate that displays the airplane registration number. This identificalon plate is located in the empennage.

AIRPLANE INSPECTIONS

AIRPLANE INSPECTION PERIODS

As required by regulations, all civil airplane must undergo a complete inspection annually (each twelve calendar months). In addition to the required annual inspection, the manufacturer also requires 100 hour inspections and Time Limited Inspections.

Issued: February 14,1994 Revision 5: May 10, 1996

Report No: 01973-001 8-1

Page 623: Pilatus PC-12 Pilot s Information Manual

SECTION 8 EPILATUSS HANDLING, SERVICING, AND MAINTENANCE ?C XI1

Other inspections may be required by the issuance of airworthiness directives or service bulletins applicable lo the airplane, engine, propeller and components. It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure compliance with all applicable airworthiness directives and, when the inspections are repetitive, to take appropriate steps to prevent inadvertent non-compliance.

AIRPLANE SCHEDULED INSPECTIONS

As required by regulations, the airplane must be the subject of a complete Annual lnspection each 12 calendar months of operation. The manufacturer also requires 100 Flying Hour Periodic Inspections and Time Limited Inspections. A complete Annuall100 Hour lnspection includes all the items of the Time Limited lnspection which are due at the specified time.

The inspection intervals are based on nonal usage of the airplane under average environmental conditions. Airplane operated in extremely humid tropics, or in exceptionally cold, damp climates, salt-laden conditions may need more frequent inspections for wear, corrosion and lubrication. Under these adverse conditions, the 100 Hour lnspection should be done in compliance with lhe inspection sheets at a more frequent interval. The owner or operator can then set his own inspection interval based on field experience.

The 100 Hour lnspection interval should never be exceeded by more than 10 hours, which can be used only I additional time is required to reach a maintenance center. Any extension of the 100 hour interval must be subtracted from the following inspection interval. For example, if a 100 Hour Inspection is at 1 10 hours. the next is due 90 hours later at 200 hours.

The owner or operator is responsible for complying with any local regulations. The owner or operator is primarily responsible for maintaining the airplane in an airworthy condition, including compliance with Airworthiness Directives. It is further the responsibility of the owner or operator to make sure that the airplane is inspected in confonity with the inspection sheets.

lnspection sheets have been prepared to assist the owner or operator in meeting the foregoing responsibilities. They include, together with the inspection requirements, lists of tools, equipment, parts and materials which are necessary to do the inspections. The inspections sheets are not intended lo be all-inclusive, for no such sheets can replace the good judgment of a qualilied mechanic in the pelfonnance of his duties. As the one primarily responsible for the airworthiness of the airplane, the owner or operator should select only qualified personnel to maintain the airplane.

Detailed information of systems and sub-systems on the airplane can be found in the relevant chapters of the AMM. Reference is made to the topics in this manual and Pilatus issued Service Bulletins for inspection, repair, removal and installation procedures called for in the inspection sheets. It is Vle responsibility of the owner or operator to make sure that mechanics inspecting the airplane have access to these documents as well as the inspection sheets.

The 100 Hour lnspection and Annual lnspection sheets list the maintenance and structural significant items for inspection and state the level of inspection required.

Page 624: Pilatus PC-12 Pilot s Information Manual

WPLATUS= SECTION 8 PC XII- HANDLING, SERVICING, AND MAINTENANCE

The Time Limited Inspection sheets list items that require inspecting at intervals that are different from the 100 hour and annual inspections.

COMPONENT LIFE POLICY

The AMM Section 4 contains the Ainnrorthiness Limitations which specify Life Limit and Inspection Intervals for major components of the airplane.

The AMM Section 5 contains the time limits for overhaul and replacement of components based on average usage and environmental conditions. The stated time limits do not constitute a guarantee that the component will remain in service until this time as the environmental conditions that the component is operated in cannot be controlled by the manufacturer.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Pilots operating airplane should refer to the regulations of the country of registry for information on preventive maintenance that may be performed by pilots.

The holder of a Pilot Certificate may perform certain preventive maintenance described in FAR Part 43. This maintenance may be performed only on an airplane which the pilot owns or operates and which is not used to carry persons or property for hire, except as provided in the applicable FAR'S. Although such maintenance is allowed by law, each individual should make an analysis as to whether he/she has the ability to perform the work.

Pilatus Aircraft Ltd should be contacted for further information, or for the required maintenance whkh must be accomplished by appropriately licensed personnel. All other maintenance required on the airplane should be accomplished by the appropriately licensed personnel.

The aircraft has Computer Aided Testing (CAT) connectors which are installed in the maintenance test panel on the right side of the f l i t compartment. They are the central access point for ground maintenance to do aircraft system tests using either a portable computer or a maintenance box. Serious flight safety implications could result if equipment is connected to the CAT connectors during flight. The protective CAT connector caps must be installed during flight and all test equipment must be removed from the aircraft.

If maintenance is accomplished, an entry must be made in the appropriate logbook. The entry should contain:

The date the work was accomplished. Description of the work. Number of hours on the airplane. The certificate number of pilot performing the work. Signature of the individual doing the work.

MODIFICATIONS OR REPAIRS

It is essential that the Airwonhiness Authorities of the country of registry be contacted prior to any modifications to the airplane to ensure that the aiworthiness of the airplane is not violated. Modifications or repairs to the airplane must be accomplished by licensed personnel.

SERVICE BULLETINS AND SERVICE LElTERS

Pilatus Aircrait will issue Service Bulletins and Service Letters from time to time whiih will be sent to owners, service centers and distributers. Service Bulletins should be complied w9h promtly and depending on their nature material and labor allowances may apply, this aspect will be addressed in the Planning Information section of the bulletin. Senrice Letters give information on product improvements, changed part numbers or discussion on field problems. Service Bulletin and Service Letter Indexes are issued periodically to provide a complete listing of all issued bulletins and letters.

GROUND HANDLING

TOWING

The use of a towing arm whiih attaches to lugs on the nose leg is the recommended method of towing the airplane over prepared, hard, even ground. The towing arm should incorporate shock absorbers to prevent damage to the airplane. The steering arm provided for this airplane is a steering bar extension to the tail stand. When not in use the components of the towing arm are stowed inside the rear fuselage cone accessible through the battery door.

When towing the airplane, a qualified person should sit in the cockpit ready for immediate braking action, in the event that the towing arm becomes uncoupled. The movement of the towing vehicle should always be started and stopped slowly to avoid unnecessary shock loads. When towing in a congested area, two helpers should watch the wing tip and tail clearances.

In any towing operation, especially when towing with a vehicle, do not exceed the nose gear maximum tow limit angle either side of center, or damage to the nose gear will result. The maximum tow limit angle is ind i ted by a placard on the nose strut. If the airplane is towed or pushed over a rough surface during hangaring, watch that the normal cushioning action of the nose gear does not cause excessive vertical movement of the tail and the resulting contact with low hangar doors or structure. A flat nose tire will also increase the tail height.

In the event that towing lines are necessary, ropes should be attached to the main gear struts as high as possible without contacting brake lines or wire harness. The lines should be long enough to clear the nose andlor tail by not less than 20 feet. A qualified person should occupy the pilot's seat to maintain control of the airplane by the use of the nose wheel steering and brakes.

PARKING

In nsmal wealher conditions, the airplane can be parked on any firm surface, headed'into wind (11 possible) and the parking brake applied, or wheel chocks in place, or both. Parking for long periods should be done with wheel chocks in place and the parking brake released. Jnstall cockplt control locks. Blanks and covers should be fitted at any time the airplane is parked for an extended time or overnight. The airplane should be moored i f it is b be parked in Ule open for long periods and weather conditions are unfavorable. In extreme conditions, the airplane should be parked in a hangar, as structural damage can occur in high winds, even when moored correctly.

MOORING

The airplane should be moored for immovability, security and protection. The following procedures should be used for the proper mooring of the airplane (Ref. Fig. 8-2 and 8-3):

Head the airplane into wind, where possible.

Retract the flaps.

Close the inertial separator.

Install cockpit control locks.

Chock the wheels.

JACKING

SINGLE WHEEL JACKING

To assist in wheel and brake maintenance, both the two main wheels and the nose wheel can be jacked, independently, using a bottle jack and an adapter (Ref. Fig. 8-4). The adapters are shaped to accept the piston of a bottle jack. It is advisable that when jacking the nose wheel up, the tail support should be fitted in the rear main jacking pad as a precautionary measure.

Chock the other two tires before single wheel jacking to prevent airplane movement.

I AIRPLANE JACKING

The airplane is equipped with two main jacking points and a combined tail jacking padlmooring point (Ref. Fig. 8-5). The two main jacking points are located on the wing bottom surface just outboard of the fuselage and the tail jacking pad is located on the fuselage bottom surface just forward of the empennage.

Hydraulic jacks are used at the main jacking points to raise and lower the airplane. The tail jacking point is used to maintain the airplane in a level attitude during lilting. When the airplane is raised or lowered, the airplane tail is also progressively raised or lowered accordingly.

ATTACH BALLAST TO THE TAIL JACKING POINT TO PREVENT ANY POSSIBLE REAR FUSELAGE UPWARDS MOVEMENT, WHILE THE AIRPLANE IS ON JACKS.

Refer to the Aircraft Maintenance Manual Chap 7 for procedures on lifting and lowering the complete airplane and information concerning the amount of ballast to be attached to the tail jacking point.

NOTE

When jacking the airplane outdoors, use the tiedown for provisions for the wing and tail as described in Figure 8-3.

LEVELLING

Longitudinal and lateral levelling of the airplane is achieved by positioning a spirit level along or 1

across one of the seat rails in the aft fuselage area. This task is normally done in conjunction w~th raising the airplane on the three main jacks for weighing. setting of landing lights and fuel system calibration.

SERVICING

In addition to the inspection per i is (detailed in Airplane Inspection) and the pre-flight inspections provided in Section 4 of this Handbook, complete servicing instructions are detailed in the AMM Chapter 12-00-00. The following sub-paragraphs give an overview.

BATTERY

Access to the battery (batteries - if second battery installed) is gained by opening the hinged panel (31AB) located on the rear fuselage bottom surface. The battery (batteries - if second battery installed) must be regularly maintained in accordake with the AMM. The operator must also make sure that the battery vents pipes which extrude from the fuselage, just aft of the hinged panel, are free of dirt and any sign of corrosion. In the event that corrosion or a blockage is found, a maintenance shop visit e required, as this situation - if left unchecked - could lead to explosive pressure being reached within the battery which could jeopardize airplane safety.

SB 24-008 installs an external power control unit which will allow the battery (batteries - if second battery installed) to be charged on the ground. With an external power unit connected and operating set the EXT PWR and BAT (BAT 1 or 2 - if second battery installed) switches to ON to ground charge a battery. The battery must be vented during ground charging operations, refer to the AMM Chap 24 for instructions.

ENGINE OIL

Oils specified for use in the PT&A-67B engine oil system are listed in the Pran and Whitney (P&WC) SB No. 14001. latest revision.

If operating conditions are such that the engine will be subjected to frequent cold soaking at an ambient temperature of -18°C or lower, the use of PWA521, Type II oil (5cs) (viscosity) oil (Type II) is recommended. The engine oil dipstick is marked MAX HOT, MAX COLD. ADD US QUARTS. 1,2.3,4.5.6. The term HOT refers to the engine condition when the engine has been shutdown. COLD refers to the engine condition when the engine has been shutdown lor 12 hours or more. Ideally, the engine oil tank level should be checked and replenished, as required. within 10 minutes of shutdown.

Page 637: Pilatus PC-12 Pilot s Information Manual

SECTION 8 WPlLATUS %l HANDLING, SERVICING, AND MAINTENANCE ?c XI1

A visual sight gauge is provided to allow the oil level to be checked without removing the dipstick. If the oil level is below the green band on the sight gauge Ule dl level has to be checked with the dipstick.

THE GREEN MARKS ON THE FILLER SLEEVE AND THE DIPSTICK MUST BE ALIGNED WHEN THE DIPSTICK IS INSTALLED.

NOTE

The usual oil level is when the dipstick shows one to two quarts below maximum. Oil above this level can be vented overboard.

NEVER REPLENISH THE OIL IN A COLD ENGINE, AS THIS CAN RESULT IN OVERFILLING OF THE SYSTEM. MOTOR THE ENGINE AND RECHECK THE OIL LEVEL BEFORE ADDING OIL TO THE SYSTEM.

MAKE SURE THAT THE OIL IS OF THE CORRECT TYPE. DO NOT MIX BRANDS, SPECIFICATIONS OR TYPES OF OILS. IF OILS ARE ACCIDENTALLY MIXED, DRAIN AND FLUSH THE COMPLETE SYSTEM AND REFILL WITH THE APPROVED OIL.

FUEL SYSTEM

The left and right wing fuel tanks are gravity filled through openings on the upper surface. The tanks should always be kept full between flights to reduce explosive vapor space and condensation. Allowance should be made for expansion to minimize venting of fuel if ambient temperature is expected to rise markedly. Approved fuels conforming to PIWC spec i t i t ins are to be used.

CHECK FUEL SUPPLY VEHICLE FOR CORRECT FUEL GRADE AND TYPE. USE AN APPROVED WATER DETECTION KIT TO CHECK FOR WATER CONTAMINATION.

I CAUTION I AS THE ANTI-ICING ADDITIVE IS NOT ALWAYS INDICATED ON THE FUELLING INSTALLATION PLACARD, CHECK WlTH THE FUEL SUPPLIER TO MAKE SURE THE FUEL CONTAINS AN APPROVED ANTI-ICING ADDITIVE.

IF IT IS KNOWN THAT THE AIRCRAFT WILL FLY IN AMBIENT TEMPERATURES OF LESS THAN 0" C AND IF THE FUEL DOES NOT CONTAIN AN ANTI-ICING ADDITIVE, ONE MUST BE BLENDED WlTH THE FUEL DURING FUELING.

NOTE

There are two fuel tank drain valves on the lower surface of each wing and one on the front left of the fuselage, aft of the nose wheel well.

FUEL CONTAMINATION

Fuel contamination is usually the result of foreign material present in the fuel system. This foreign material can take many forms, i.e. water, sand, dirt, microbes or bacterial growth. In addition, additives that are not compatible with the fuel used can cause the fuel to became contaminated.

Jet fuel contains some dissolved, suspended water and is a fuel contamination concern. The quantity of water that can remain in solution will depend upon the temperature of the fuel. Dissolved water cannot be removed by a filter during a fuel selvice but will be released from suspension as the fuel temperature decreases, as during flight. These supercooled water droplets only need to contact sold contaminates or receive an impact shock to change into ice crystals. If a sufliiient quantity of water drops out of suspension and changes to ice, a blocked filter may result.

Before the first flight of the day and after each refueling, use a clean container and drain at least one sample of fuel from each tank drain valve to determine if contarninants are present (and that the airplane has been fueled with the proper fuel). If contamination is detected, drain all fuel drains points until all contamination has been removed. If after repeated sampling. evidence of contamination still exists, the fuel tanks shoukl be completely drained and the fuel system flushed. Do not fly the airplane with contaminated or unapproved fuel.

In addition, operators who are not acquainted with a particular airfield should be assured that the fuel supply has been checked for contamination and is properly filtered before allowing the airplane to be serviced. Also, fuel tanks should be kept full between flights, provided weight and balance considerations will permit, to reduce the possibility of water condensing on the walls of partially filled tanks.

FUEL ANTI-ICE ADDITIVE

A fuel anti-ice additive, conforming to MIL-DTL-27686 or MIL-DTL-85470 specification, may be added to the fuel as the airplane is being refueled. Blend the additive in accordance with the following procedure:

I Calculate the quantity of anti-Icing additive required based on the quantity of fuel to be added. Refer to the CAUTION below. I Remove the cap containing the tube and clip assembly from the "HI-FLO PRIST" blender, model PHF-204.

Attach the pistol on the collar, press the tube into the button, and clip the tube end to the fuel nozzle.

Pull trigger firmly to ensure full flow, then lock into place.

Start flow of additive when fueling begins. Refueling rates should be between 30 and 60 gallons per minute.

Do a water drain check before the first flight of the day.

THE FUEL SYSTEM ANTI-ICING ADDITIVES CONTAIN ETHYLENE GLYCOL MONOETHYL ETHER WHICH IS HIGHLY TOXIC. THESE PRODUCTS MUST BE HANDLED WITH EXTREME CARE. AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WlTH SKlN AND CLOTHING. ANY CLOTHING ACCIDENTLY CONTAMINATED BY SPLASHING SHOULD BE PROMPTLY REMOVED AND THE SKlN WASHED WlTH SOAP AND WATER. PREVENT CONTACT WlTH EYES AND AVOID INHALATION OF VAPORS. IF CONTACT IS MADE WlTH THE EYES THEY SHOULD BE FLUSHED WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE AFTER ALL CONTACT CASES.

I CAUTION I THE ADDITIVE CONCENTRATION BY VOLUME SHALL BE A MINIMUM OF 0.06% AND A MAXIMUM OF 0.15%.

THE CORRECT MIX OF ANTI-ICING ADDITIVE IS IMPORTANT. CONCENTRATIONS OF MORE THAN 0.15% BY VOLUME WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PROTECTIVE PRIMER AND SEALANTS OF THE FUEL TANKS AND TO THE SEALS IN THE FUEL SYSTEM AND ENGINE COMPONENTS. CONCENTRATIONS OF LOWER THAN 0.06 VOL % MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TO INHIBIT ICE FORMATION.

MAKE SURE THAT THE ADDITIVE IS DIRECTED INTO THE FUEL STREAM. START ADDITIVE FLOW AFTER THE FUEL FLOW STARTS AND STOP THE ADDITIVE FLOW BEFORE THE FUEL FLOW STOPS. DO NOT ALLOW CONCENTRATED ADDITIVE TO CONTACT THE INTERIOR OF THE FUEL TANKS OR EXTERIOR PAINTED SURFACES.

LANDING GEAR - TIRES

For maximum sewice, keep tires inflated to the proper pressures. All wheels and tires are balanced before original installation, and the relationship to tire and wheel should be maintained upon reinstallation. Unbalanced wheels can cause extreme vibration in the landing gear; therefore, in the installation of new components, it may be necessary to re-balance the wheels with tires mounted. When checking the tire pressures, examine the tires for wear, cuts, bruises and slippage.

I f the airplane is to be stored temporarily, or indefinitely, reference must be made to the AMM for the proper storage procedures, which are all time related and classified as ~ o w c

stwe 1 Up to 7 days. Stage 2 7 to 30 days. Stage 3 30 to 90 days. Stage 4 More than 90 days.

Stages 1 and 2 are considered as flyable storage status.

No special sewice care is required for Stage 1 other than the airplane is moored and properly grounded, all covers and blanks are fitted, and that the fuel tanks are full. The engine may be left in an inactive state, with no presewabn protection, provided the engine is sheltered, humidity is not excessively high, and the engine Is not subjected to extreme temperature changes that would produce condensation. Where possible, cover the windshield with a light cotton dust cover.

Stage 2 storage, beglns alter Stage 1 (7 days) has elapsed, and includes placing desiccant bags and humidly indicators in the engine exhaust stubs and behind the exhaust stub coven. A suitable means must be provided to view the humidity indicators with the stub coven iI'IStaIled. An engine inactive lor up to 28 days requires no preservation provided all engine openlngs am sealed off and relathre humidity in the engine is maintained at less than 40%.

At 14 day intervals:

Movs the airplane to prevent flat areas on the tires. Ma* the tires with tape to ensure the tires are placed approximately 90 degrees from their previous position.

Stage 3 storage should be a planned situation, when lhe time difference can be foreseen but following on from the Stage 2, the engine fuel system would need to be presetved in accordance with the PBWC CMM.

At 30 day intervals:

Drain all fuel drain points and check for water accumulation. Prolonged dorage of the airplane will result in a water build-up in the fuel which 'leeches out' the EGME fuel additive. An indication of this is when an excessive amount of water accumulates at lhe fuel Win points. The concentration can be checked using a differential refractometer, but, it is imperahive that the technical manual for differential refractometer be fobwed explicitly when cheddng the additive concentration.

SECTION 7 - DESCRIPTION

The KLN 906 GPS panel mounled unit contains the GPS sensor, the navigation computer, a CRT display, and all controls required to operate the unit. It also houses the data base 1

cartridge which plugs directly into the back of the unit. ,

The data base cartridge is an electronic memory containing inlormation on airports, navaids. intersections, SID's, STAR'S, inslrumenl approaches, special use airspace, and other items of value to the pilot.

Every 28 days, BendidKing receives new data base information from Jeppesen Sanderson. This inlormation is processed and downloaded onto the dala base canridges. BendixIKing makes these data base cartridge updates available to KLN 90B GPS users.

Provided the KLN 906 GPS navigation system is receiving adequate usable signals, it has I

been demonstrated capable of and has been shown lo meet the accuracy specifications of:

VFRJIFR supplemental en route oceanic and remote, en route domestic, terminal, and non- precision instrument approach (GPS, Loran-C, VOR, VOR-DME, TACAN. NDB. NDB-OM€, RNAV) operation within latitudes bounded by 74" North and 60° South using the WGS-84 (or NAD 83) coordinate relerence datum in accordance with the criteria of AC 20-138. AC 91-49, and AC 120-33. Navigation data is based upon use of only the global positioning system (GPS) operated by the United States.

NOTE

Airplane using GPS for oceanic IFR operations may use the KLN 900 to replace one of the other approved means of long- range navigation. A single KLN 90B GPS installation may also be used on short oceanic routes which require only one means ol long-range navigation.

SECTION 9 SUPPLEMENT 6

b. If the lntruder aircraft is not visually acquired, air traffic control should be contacted to obtain any information that may assist concerning the lntruder aircraft.

c. Minor adjustments to the vertical flight path consistent with air traffic requirements are not considered evasive manoeuvres.

NOTE

Traffic Advisories (TA's) can be expected to occur during normal flight operation. Generally, TA's will occur more frequently in terminal areas during amval, and less frequently during departure and en route operations. In the vast majority of these cases, the aircraft displayed will be safely separated and there will be no need for pilots to initiate any avoidance manoeuvres.

NOTE

Evasive manoeuvres (rapid change in pitch, roll, normal acceleration, thrust or speed) should only be conducted after visual acquisition of the lntruder and then only when necessary to achieve or assure sate separation.

SECTION 5 - PERFORMANCE

SECTION 9 SUPPLEMENT 6

SECTION 7 - DESCRIPTION

The TCAS I is an on-board traffic alert and collision avoidance system which includes a display. The system detects and tracks other (Intruder) aircraft by interrogating their transponders. From the transponder replies, TCAS I determines range, bearing and (if the lntruder is equipped with a Mode C or S transponder) relative altitude. Intruders equipped with a Mode A transponder do not provide altitude information. With this data, the TCAS I uses standard algorithms to determine the threat of collision. When a possible collision hazard exists, the TCAS I issues a visual and aural Traffic Advisory (TA) to the flight crew. The TCAS I will not detect aircraft which have no operating transponder.

The TCAS I Is a single system installation consisting of one TCAS I processor, one top- mounted bearing anten&, one bottom-mounted bearing antenna and the EFlS MFD or KMD 850. Aural alerts are available through the headphones and cockpit speaker. I For Aircraft with an EFlS MFD, system control is through the EFlS MFD CP469A control panel. For aircraft with a KMD 850 installed system control is through the KMD 850. The traffic display I is informative only, displaying area traffic without attempting to provide any form of conflict resolution.

If an Intruder gets to within 15 to 30 seconds of a projected Closest Point of Approach (CPA) andlor meets other range and closure criteria, it is then considered a potential threat and an aural and visual TA is issued with the voice message, "TRAFFIC TRAFFIC". This assists the pilot in achieving visual acquisition of the threat traffic.

TCAS I Is intended as an aid to the see and avoid concept. Once an lntruder is visually acquired, it is the pilot's responsibility to manoeuvre as necessary to maintain safe separation.

TCAS I does not Incorporate the sophisticated sensors, bearing accuracy or track rate computations incorporated in TCAS II or TCAS Ill that are necessary for evasive manoeuvring (rapid change in pitch, roll, normal acceleration, thrust or speed). In general, TCAS I does not provide adequate information for pilots 10 determine rellably which horizontal or, in some cases, vertical direction to move to increase separation, and there is some likelihood that such manoeuvres will actually result in reduced separation.

SECTION 9 SUPPLEMENT 8

FLIGHT IN ICING CONDITIONS

STALL SPEEDS

When operating in PUSHER ICE MODE, the stick pusher computer automatically reduces the shaker and pusher settings by 8" AOA. With operational deice boots this results in an increase of the stall speed at the maximum takeoff weight of 11 kts with 0" flaps and 9 kts with 15" flaps.

NOTE

Flap position is limited to maximum 15' in icing conditions with operational deice boots.

With failed deice boots and ice accretion on the lilting surlaces an increase of the stall speed at the maximum takeoff weight of 14 kts with 0' flaps is to be expected.

NOTE

Flap position is limited to maximum 0' in icing conditions with failed deice boots.

The wings level stall speeds at the maximum takeoff weight of 9921lb (4500 kg) and with flight idle power are summarized in the following table:

ENGINE TORQUE

FLAPS

0"

15'

When the engine inlet inertial separator is open and during flight at altitudes above 5000 11, the maximum torque available can be reduced by up to 1.2 psi in non icing conditions, and up to 2.1 psi in icing conditions. 1

SECTION 9 SUPPLEMENT 8

TAKEOFF PERFORMANCE

When taking-oft in or into known icing conditions, the flaps must be set to 15' and the rotation speed increased by 9 KIAS. The speed at 50 R (15 m) height will be correspondingly increased by 12 KIAS. As a result, the takeoff ground roll distance will be increased by 29%. The takeoff distance will be increased by 42% and the accelerate-stop distance by 30%.

The takeoff ground roll and takeoff total distances given in the performance charts wiil be longer with operations on slush or snow covered runways.

CLIMB PERFORMANCE

During flight in icing conditions, the maximum rate of climb can be reduced by up to 1100 FPM. After failure of the pneumatic deice boots, the maximum rate of climb can be reduced by up to 1200 FPM below 15000 11 and by up to 1400 FPM at higher altitudes.

HOLDING ENDURANCE

During holding flight in icing conditions, a higher engine torque is required to maintain level flight. Increases in engine fuel flow between 25% and 50% are to be expected with respect to non icing conditions.

LANDING PERFORMANCE

After icing encounters and with visible ice accretion on the airframe, the landing is performed with 15' flaps and an approach speed of 108 KIAS. As a result, the landing ground roll distance can be increased by up to 909'0 without reverse thrust applied, and by up to 80% with reverse thrust applied. The landing total distances will correspondingly be longer by up to 55% without reverse thrust applied, and by up to 45% with reverse thrust applied.

After failure of the airframe pneumatic deice boots in icing conditions, the landing is performed with 0" flaps and an approach speed of 134 KIAS. As a result, the ground roll distance can be increased by up to 160% without reverse thrust applied, and up to 140% with reverse thrust applied. The landing total distances wiil correspondingly be longer by up to 90% without reverse thrust applied, and by up to 75% with reverse thrust applii.

BALKED LANDING PERFORMANCE

During flight in icing conditions, the balked landing rate of climb with 15' flaps can be up to 100 FPM lower than in non icing conditions with 40' flaps. After failure of the pneumatic deice boots the rate of climb can be up to 500 FPM lower.

SECTION 7 - SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

ENGINE CONDITION TREND MONITORING (ECTM)

Description

The system is a TrendCheck passive system that acts as a recording device and exceedence monitor. It counts engine cycles, records engine running and flight times, identifies and measures hot starts and engine limit exceedences, records the maximum value observed by each sensor during flight and records automatically ECTM data when a stabilized condition exists lor 2 minutes. Stabilized conditions are defined by a preset altitude, torque and ITT band together with a maximum allowable change of these three parameters, aircraft in the air, inellial separator closed and the ECS not on P3. The maximum number of ECTM recordings per flight and the minimum time between two recordings can be defined according to the aircraft

1 operation. Torque, ITT. Ng. Np, engine oil pressure, fuel flow, ambient pressure and intake pressureltemperature data is supplied to a processor installed in the engine compartment. The processor also receives inputs from the LH weight on wheels switch, the inertial Separator bypass door actuator and the ECS high pressure SOV. Power to the processor is supplied from the GEN DIR BUS. An ECTM switch and a data down load socket are installed on the left cross- bar panel in the flight compartmenl. All the internal data stored in the non-volatile memory can be downloaded to a ~ r 0 ~ n d based computer system for further analysis, action and system calibration and set-up. Accurate records of exceedences and engine trend data for the aircraft can be maintained. A TrendCheck stand alone ground station can be used with the instruction manual to calibrate the system.

Operation

When electrical power is switched on, the ECTM switch light will come on for 3 seconds during the self test. H the switch light remains on, the self test has failed or the processor memory is full. The system is not operational. If the light switch flashes continuously the processor memory is 85% full andlor an exceedence has been logged. The light will go off if the switch is pressed or the engine is started. The processor should be downloaded and reset. If not downloaded the light will flash again alter each Stan or shutdown.

If the switch is pressed with the engine not running, the light will flash while the system carries out a 5 second loop test.

To take a manual recording the ECTM switch can be pressed when stabilized cruise conditions are reached. The ECTM switch will flash for the duration of the recording (set to 20 seconds).

Every time the system takes an automatic ECTM recording, the ECTM switch will flash for the duration of the recording (set to 20 seconds).

Stabilized cruise conditions are with level flight near max. cruise power setting (POH). landing gear and flaps up, inertial separator closed and the ECS not on P3. 1

The passengers hear the radio as selected on the right (copilot) side of the controller.

The passengers will not hear any radii audio when the red mode switch on the controller is in the EMER position.

UNMUTED AUDIO WARNINGS

The dual audio control panel receives unmuted audio warnings on two inputs. All unmuted audio warnings go to both inputs. One input is amplified and is connected to the pilot and copilot positions. The other input is connected directly to the pilot position only.

If there is an amplifier failure, the pilot will continue to receive all unmuted audio warnings.

SECTION 7 -AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION (REF. FIG. 7-1)

The KLN 900 GPS Navigation Syslem processes signals from a maximum of elght satellites to give the pilot present pos%ion information and to display guidance information with respect to a flight plan defined by the pilot. The pilot uses the controls on the front panel of the GPS unit to enter the flight plan.

The KLN 900 GPS Navigation System calculates crosstrack error, distance-to-waypoint, groundspeed, track angle, time to waypoint, bearing to waypoint and vertical navigation data. The memory of the GPS holds the present position, the pilot-specified waypoints and up to 26 diferent flight plans with up to 30 waypoints each.

The GPS Navigation System comprises these components:

one KLN 900 GPS navigation unit

one KA 92 GPS antenna

one APR - ARMlACT switch

a one CRS OBSLEG switch

The Computer Aided Test (CAT) connector on the aircraft can be used as a database loader. This is an alernative method to the practice of replacing the database card in the front GPS unit.

The GPS antenna is located on the top of the aircraft, above the totward door.

A GPS navigation unit is located in the aft center pedestal.

An APR - ARMIACT switch and a CRS OBSllRG switch are located on the instrument panel.

SECTION 9 SUPPLEMENT 19

ALTITUDE ALERT FUNCTION

The aircraft is wired tor the altitude alert function, which can be set on or off when configuring the GPS navigation system options.

When the altitude alert option is used, the GPS navigation system receives altitude information from the air data computer and, when necessary, sends an altitude alert warning signal to the audio integrating system. The alliiude alert warning signal is connected to the unmuted input of the audio control panel. The warning tone frequency is 1 kHz. The tone volume is adjusted on the SET 9 page. The altitude alerts include:

3 short tones: the aircraft is within 1000 11 of the selected alliiude

2 short tones: the aircraft has reached the selected altitude

- 2 short tones - pause - 2 short tones: the aircraft has deviated from the selected altitude by more than 300 ft

1 short tone - 1 long tone - 1 short tone: height above airport alert

DATA LOADING

The GPS will not navigate during data loading, therefore it is necessary to load the data base before the flight. The published database can be updated by either of the following methods:

using a personal computer (connected to the CAT connector)

replacing the database card in the GPS navigation unit, which is accessible through the front panel of the unit

PUBLISHED DATA BASE

The published data base is an electronic memory containing information on airports, navaids. intersections, SID's, STAR'S, instrument approaches, special use airspace, and other items of value to the pilot.

Every 28 days, AlliedSiinal receives new data base information from Jeppesen Sanderson. This information is processed and downloaded onto the data base cards. Atliedsignal makes these data base card updates available to KLN 900 GPS navigation system users.

SECTION 7 - SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

DUAL PlTOT STATIC SYSTEM

GENERAL

An optional second pitot static system can be installed (Ref. Figure 1).

DESCRIPTION

A second heated pitot head is installed under the left wing and a heated dual passage static port is installed on each side of the rear fuselage in place of the single system static ports. The existing pitot static system comprising the pitot head on the right wing and one passage from the left and right static ports supply pitot and static pressure to the pilot's instruments and is designated the No. 1 system. The second system designated No. 2 supplies static pressure to the coptiit's air speed indicator, altimeter and vertical speed indicator and pitot pressure to the copliot's ah speed indicator.

Drain traps for the No. 2 system are installed in the left bottom wing root for the pitot system and the rear fuselage behind the pressure bulkhead lor the static system.

The heaters for the pitot heads and static ports for the No. 1 and 2 systems are controlled by the DE ICING PROBES switch installed on the pilot's bwer right switch panel. Electrical power for the No. 1 system heating is supplied through the PlTOT DE ICE and STATIC DE ICE circuit breakers on the generator 2 bus. Electrical power for the No. 2 system heating is supplied through the COPILOT PlTOT DE ICE and COPILOT STATIC DE ICE circuit breakers on the generator 1 bus.

A P-S FAlL 1 and 2 annunciator is installed on the center instrument panel and is connected to the pitot and static heater current load sensors of No.1 and 2 systems. The individual lamps in the annunciator can be checked by pressing the LAMP switch on the ELECTRIC TEST panel installed on the rear left cockpit sidewall.

When electrical power is applied to the aircraft with the DE ICE PROBES switch OFF the amber P-S FAlL 1 and 2 annunciator will come on. When the DE ICE PROBES switch is set to ON the PROBES DE ICE advisory caption will come on and the P-S FAlL 1 and 2 annunciators will go off. If any of the pitot head heaters or static port heaters fail, the amber P- S FAlL and a 1 or a 2 annunciator will come. The '1" caption will come on ii the right side pilot pitot heater or static port heater has failed. The "2" caption will come on if the left side copilot pitot heater or the static port heater has failed.

SECTION 9 SUPPLEMENT 20

The copilots Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) is the same type as installed in the pilots instrument panel and is connected to the second static system.

ALTIMETER

The copilots altimeter Is a non-encoding type and k connected to the second static system.

DIRECTIONAL GYRO

The Directional Gyro (DO) provides the copilot with an unstabilized source of aircraft heading information. The DG is a self-contained vertical axis gyroscope, mounted to show aircraft heading. The rotor is erected when the knob is depressed, as this is an unstabilized instrument the displayed heading will drift over time and needs to be set in reference to the AHRS or magnetic compass every 15 minutes.

The DG is powered via a 2 Amp COPILOT DG circuit breaker connected to the Avionic 1 Bus. The DG operation is continuous whenever the Avionic 1 Bus is powered. An OFF flag will appear when power is removed from the DG.

ATTITUDE INDICATOR

The Attitude Indicator (Al) provides the copilot with a source of pitch and roll information. The Al is self contained, vertical axis gyroscope, mounted in a pitch gimbal, which is mounted in a roll gimbal. The Al is capable of operation through 360" of aircraft pitch and roll displacement. The Al incorporates stops on the inner (pitch) axis to limit pitch axis freedom to +I- 85" relative to the roll gimbal. The pitch range of 360" is accomplished using controlled procession when the pitch stops are contacted. There is an inclinometer mounted on the face of the Al to present aircraft slip and skld.

The Al is powered via a 2 Amp COPILOT ATT IND circuit breaker connected to the Avionic 2 Bus. The Al operation k continuous whenever the Avionic 2 Bus is powered. An OFF flag will appear when power is removed from the Al.

MASTER WARNINWCAUTION SWITCHES

Master waming and caution switches are installed at the top of the copilots instrument panel. They are connected in parallel to the pilots master waming and caution switches and alert the crew to any changes on the CAWS indication panel. Pushing the applicable master warning or caution switch on either the pilots or copilots instrument panel will cancel the indication. The CAWS warning or caution annunciator that triggered the master warning or caution indication will remain illuminated. Additionally an audible tone will sound through the cockpit overhead speaker and or crew headsets anytime a master waming or caution indicator comes on. The individual lamps in the of the master warning and caution indicators can be checked by pressing the Lamp Test switch on the system test panel located on the left cockpit sidewall.

SECTION 7 DESCRIPTION

GENERAL

The Enhanced GPWS Mk VI provides an enhanced capability of reducing accidents caused by controlled flight into terrain. The system achieves this by receiving a variety of aircraft parameters as inputs, then applying alerting algorithms to provide the flight crew with aural messages and visual annunciation and display. The EGPWS provides the flight crew with enhanced terrain awareness while tollowing an ATC flight plan clearance. The terrain and obstacle display is shown on the KMD 850 Multi-function display.

The EGPWS has an integral GPS receiver for accurate position determination and a regional terrain database of geographical topography and physical obstructions. There are three regional terrain databases available which cover the Americas, the Atlantic and the Pacific regions. Only one regional terrain database can be installed at a given time and this is indicated by the version number and letter designation during a system self test.

The installed regional database limits the availability of the Enhanced functionality to operations within the installed region, operation outside of the installed regional database does not affect the basic GPWS functionality. If the incorrect region is installed lor the current location of the aircraft, the Enhanced functions are inoperative, this is indicated by a TEAR INOP annunciation and Outside database region indicated during a self test.

The Mk VI EGPWS consists of two GPWS test switches, nine GPWS indicator lampslswitches, a GPS antenna and. an EGPWS computer.

EGPWS TEST SWITCH

A test switch for the EGPWS system is installed on the left and the right instrument panel. It has the legend 'GPWS PITEST' in illuminated white letters on a black background.

EGPWS INDICATOR LAMPSISWITCHES

There are four indicator lampslswitches for the EGPWS installed on the left and the right instrument panels and three indicator lamps/switches are installed on the left crossbar panel:

GND PROX WARN (LEFT AND RIGHT INSTRUMENT PANELS)

The GND PROX WARN indicator consists of black letters on a black background when not illuminated. It comes on with red illuminated letters on a black background when the EGPWS computer detects an alert or warning in Modes: 1 (Excessive Descent Rate), 2 (Excessive Closure Rate to Terrain), 3 (Altitude Loss After Takeoff) and 4 (Insufficient Terrain Clearance).

EGPWS COMPUTER I

The EGPWS computer is installed below the passenger cabin floor. It uses the following system inputs for its computations:

- AHRS roll attitude I

- radar altimeter altitude AGL - air data computer vertical speed and airspeed - VHF NAVl system ILSfglideslope - EFlS 1 symbol generator decision height (DH) - flaps system flaps position - landing gear system landing gear position - KM0850 multi-function display range data - Autopilot autopilot engaged

NOTE

The following altitude callouts are enabled:

MINIMUMS MINIMUMS FIVE HUNDRED TWO HUNDRED ONE HUNDRED FIFTY FORTY THIRTY TWENTY TEN

The enhanced feature of the EGPWS is the ability to alert the crew to and provide a display of potential conflict with terrain. Terrain conflict alerts will initiate a specific aural message and illuminate the GND PROX WARN annunciator. The EGPWS keeps a synthetic image of local terrain in front of the aircraft for display on Ihe KMD 850 multi-function display.

Terrain is displayed as a variable density dot pattern in green, yellow or red. The pattern density and color being a function of how close the terrain or obstacle is, relative to the altitude of the aircraft.

There are two different background terrain awareness display modes Standard and Peaks.

In the Standard Mode, terrain data is shown using colors and shading patterns which correspond to the vertical displacement between the elevation of the terrain and the current altitude of the aircraft. Red and Yellow dot patterns indicate terrain near or above the current altitude of the aircraft. Solid Red and Yellow colors indicate warning and caution areas relative to the flight path of the aircraft when an alert is active. Medium and low density green display patterns indicate terrain which is below the aircraft and within 2000 feet of the aircraft altitude. Terrain which Is more than 2000 feet below the aircraft is not displayed.

In the Peaks mode, additional density patterns and level thresholds are added to the Standard mode display levels and patterns. These additional levels are based on absolute terrain elevations relative to the range and distribution of the terrain in the display area. The Peaks mode display is a merged display applicable to all flight phases. At altitudes safely above all terrain for the chosen display range, the terrain is shown independent of aircraft altitude emphasizing the highest and lowest elevations. This gives greater situational awareness. The Peaks mode display includes a solid green level to indicate the highest non threatening terrain. The standard lower density green display patterns indicate mid and upper terrain in the display area as well as terrain that is within 2000 feet of the aircraft. Terrain identified as water (0 feet MSL) is displayed as a cyan color dot pattern. Additionally with the Peaks mode display, two elevation numbers indicating the highest and lowest terrain currently being displayed are overlaid on the display. The elevation numbers indicate terrain in hundreds of feet above sea level (MSL). The terrain elevation numbers are displayed with the highest terrain number on top and the lowest terrain number beneath it. The elevation numbers are unique to the Peaks mode.

The terrain alerting algorithms continuously compute the terrain clearance envelopes ahead of the aircraft. If the boundaries of these envelopes conflict with terrain elevation data in the terrain database, then alerts are issued. Two envelopes are computed, one corresponding to a terrain caution alert and the other to a terrain warning alert. Terrain awareness caution and warning

alerts are inhibited below 30 feet of radio altitude, within lnm of the runway or below 60 knots groundspeed.

When the required conditions have been met to generate a terrain or obstacle caution alert, the terrain image on the KMD 850 multi-function display is enhanced to highlight the threatening terrain as solid yellow for caution threats and the appropriate aural alert is given. When the required conditions have been met to generate a terrain or obstacle warning alert, the display image on the KMD 850 multi-function display is enhanced to highlight the terrain as solid red and the appropriate aural alerl is given.

FPILATUSS SECTlON 10 ?c XI1 SAFE1 Y AND OPERATIONAL TIPS

GENERAL

This section provides information for the operation of the airplane

SAFETY TIPS

Pilots who fly above 10,000 feet should be aware of the need for physiological training. It is recommended that this training be taken before flying above 10.000 feet and receive refresher training every two or three years.

Inlormation on the location of flammable materials, pressure vessels and equipment locations for crash-firerescue purposes is given in Figure 1.

OPERATIONAL TIPS

ANTI-COLLISION LIGHTS I Anti-collision strobe lights should not be operating when flying through cloud, fog, or haze Reflected light can produce spatial disorientation.

CROSSWIND OPERATION

Takeoff

It is possible, if required, to hold the aircraft stationary with the brakes while the engine is at max takeoff power. When the brakes are released rapid and aggressive use of the rudder and possibly some small application of brake is necessary to establish and maintain the centerline but, once rolling, directional control is easy with rudder only. Holding the elevator neutral will keep the nosewheel on the ground and assist in maintaining directional control.

In strong crosswinds the aircraft establishes a drift angle of up to 10" while accelerating to rotation speed. I In gusty conditions it is recommended to rotate at V, + 10 Kls. On rotation the aircraft yaws considerably further into wind and automatically establishes the heading necessary to track the runway centerline.

Landing I It is recommended to use the wing down technique. At approximately 100 to 200 ft on approach to the runway. apply rudder to align the longitudinal axis of the aircrafl to the runway I Issued: February 14, 1994 Revision 6: Dec 6,1996

and put on bank In the opposite direction to maintain the runway centerline. The aircraft is then llown in a sidesl~p to touch down inillally on one wheel. As soon as one wheel touches, lower the other two to the runway and immediately select either the condition lever to ground idle or the PCL to beta or reverse. Once the aircraft is eslablished on the runway it can be stopped as normal with brakes or reverse power without dilliculty. Do not attempt heavy braking in a strong crosswind as the into wind wheel will tend to lock more easily.

In conditions of strong turbulence it is recommended, if runway length permits, to fly the approach with reduced llap dellection to increase IAS and aileron efficiency. It is also recommended to increase the approach speed for the chosen flap setting by 50% o l the difference between the wind mean speed and max gust speed, to give a greater speed margin over the stall.

SECTION 10 SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL TIPS

REMOVAL OF SNOW, ICE AND FROST FROM THE AIRCRAFT

GENERAL

The aircraft must be clear of all deposits of snow, ice and frost adhering to the lifling and control surfaces immediately prior to takeoff. The clean aircraft concept is essential to safe ll~ght operations. The pilot in command of the aircraft has the ultimate responsibility to determine if the aircraft is clean and in a condition for safe llight. This may require the use of ground deicing techniques.

Manual methods of deicing provide a capability in clear weather to clean the aircraft to allow a safe takeoff and flight. Deicing lluids can be used to quickly remove frost and to assist in melting and removal of snow. In inclement, cold weather conditions, the only alternative is sometimes limited to placing the aircraft in a hangar to perform the cleaning process.

For a complete guide to deicing reference should be made to the Advisory Circular AC 135-17 "Pilot Guide. Small Aircraft Ground Deicing".

DEICING METHODS AND EQUIPMENT

Manual methods of deicing such as brooms, brushes, ropes, squeegees etc. can be used to remove dry snow accumulations and to remove the bulk ol large wet snow deposits. These manual methods require that caution be exercised to prevent damage to the aircraft skin or components.

Deicing fluids can t)e used to quickly remove frost and to prevent or retard ice formation overnight. They can also be used to assist in melting and removal of snow or other ice formations that may develop as a result of treezing rain and assisting in the removal of ice or lrost formations accumulated during a previous flight. Portable spray equipment such as pressurized containers with spray wands, hand pumps attached to a supply tank can be used lo apply the fluids. Fluids can also be applied by a mop or brush from a bucket to melt the ice to the extent that it can be removed by manual means. Mobile ground support equipment's ex~st with the capability of heating deicing tluid to high temperatures and dispensing large quantities of fluid at high pressures. This type of equipment with the fluid temperature limited to 160" F (70" C) can be used to deice the aircraft.

Deicing

The wings are the main lifting surfaces of the aircraft and must be free of snow and Ice to operate efficiently. Deicing of the wings should begin at the leading-edge wing tip. sweeping in the aft and inboard direction. If ice accumulation is present in the control surface cavities, i t may be necessary to spray lrom the trailing edge forward. Tail surfaces should be deiced in a similar manner to the wing. Move the horizontal stabilizer to nose down for a better visual check. The area adjacent to the elevator balance horns and the horizontal stabilizer should be thoroughly inspected. The propeller should be thoroughly deiced in the static mode makirlg sure all blades are uniformly clean. The fuselage should be deiced from the top down. Any deicing fluid must be removed from the cockpit windows to maintain optimal visibility. Passenger and cargo doors must also be deiced in order to ensure proper operation. All door hinges, locks and seals should be inspected to make sure that they are free of contamination. Under no circumstances should deicing fluid be applied to static ports, pilot head. AOA transmitters, cockpil windows, air intakes and the engine.

Propylene Glycol based fluids not lo be used undiluted at OAT less

than 14' F (-10" C)

DEICING THE ENGINE AREA

Minimal amounts of de~cing fluid should be used to deice the engine external area. Avoid the engine air inlet. Fluid res~due on engine compressor blades can reduce englne performance or cause stall or surge. In addition, this will reduce the possibility of glycol vapors entering the aircraft through the engine air bleed system Engine intake areas should be inspected for the presence of ice immediately after shutdown. Any accumulation should be removed while [he

SECTION 10 SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL TIPS

engine is still warm and before the installation of intake covers. A light coating of deicing fluid appl~ed to the intake covers w~l l assist in preventing the covers freezing to the nacelle.

HEALTH EFFECTS \

Pilots must be aware of the potential health elfecls of deicing and anli-icing fluids in order to ensure proper precautions are taken during deicing operations and to better ensure the well- being of passengers and crew.

POST DEICING/ANTI-ICING CHECKS

The follow~ng areas should be checked alter delcing operations have been carried out:

wing leading edges, upper and lower surfaces, aileron surfaces including the wing seals horizontal stabilizer leadlng edges, upper and lower surfaces elevator surfaces particularly at the balance horns vertical stabilizer and rudder side surfaces flaps propeller engine, 011 cooler and ECS air intakes. Inertial separator and screen fuselage static ports, pitot head. AOA transm~tters and temperature probes fuel tanks and vents landing gear.

A thorough walk-around prellight inspection is more important in temperature extremes because they may effect the alrcrall or its performance. Do not be tempted to hurry the prellight. This is the time to do a most thorough prellight inspection and to make sure that all protective covers been removed. ,

A pre-takeotl contamination walk round check should be made 5 minutes prior to beginning takeoff to make sure the wings and control surlaces are free of frost, snow and ice.

TakeoH should not be attempted unless the pilot ;n command has ascertained that all crltical surfaces of the aircraft are free of adherlng ice, snow or frost formations.

OPERATIONS FROM PREPARED UNPAVED SURFACES

The aircraft is constructed for operations from prepared unpaved sudaces.

Prepared unpaved surfaces are taxi-ways and runways that are prepared and approved for aircraft operations with a surface other than tarmac or concrete.

PREPARED UNPAVED SURFACES SUITABLE FOR AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS VARY GREATLY AND SOME MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR OPERATIONS. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PILOT IN COMMAND TO MAKE SURE THAT EACH TAXI-WAY AND RUNWAY SURFACE IS FIT FOR USE AT THE INTENDED AIRCRAFT WEIGHT BEFORE COMMENCING OPERATIONS ON IT.

The following factors should be considered when deciding if a surface is fit for operation or when operating from prepared unpaved surfaces:

SURFACEHARDNESS

A prepared unpaved surface may be hard after a period of dry weather but atter rain can become soft. The wheels of a heavy aircraft can sink into soft surfaces causing a large increase in drag. This can make taxiing difficult or impossible and increase the takeoff ground roll distance considerably, sometimes to the point where V, cannot be achieved. How deep the wheels sink in, varies with aircraft weight and surface condition. It may be possible to operate a light weight aircraft when it is not possible to operate it at maximum take off weight.

SURFACE ROUGHNESS

The taxi-way and runway surface should be smooth. Undulations, depression or bumps can cause longitudinal pitching of the aircraft which may cause a significant reduction in propeller ground clearance. Particular care should be exercised in lono orass which can conceal hard objects and depressions and also at the borders between gr& and concrete suifaces.

SURFACE TYPE

Loose stones or gravel can cause propeller or airframe damage. The propeller creates turbulence which lilts stones into the air which then are struck by following blades or are accelerated rearwards to hit the airframe. The risk of damage is reduced if the aircralt is allowed to accelerate forwards before high power is selected and if reverse thrust is not used below 30 kts forward speed.

Wet or fresh grass on a hard surface is slippery and has a lower coellicient of friction than short dry grass. Takeon and stopping distances may increase. On a son surface landing ground roll may decrease but takeoff ground roll may increase.

Report No: 01 973-001 10-8

Issued: February 14,1994 Revision 9: September 1,1999

Page 919: Pilatus PC-12 Pilot s Information Manual

SECTION 10 SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL TIPS

On sandy or dusty surfaces, or where loose grass is present, reverse thrust can cause a loss of forward visibility and particles ingested into the air intake can cause increased engine wear.

INERTIAL SEPARATOR

When operating from any surface where there is a risk of dust, sand or other material entering the engine intake, it is recommended to open the inertial separator.

On takeoff from hot and high airfields with the inertial separator open it may not be possible to obtain maximum takeoff power (44 psi) and the takeoff performance will consequently deteriorate.

AIRCRAFT INSPECTION

When operating from prepared unpaved surfaces where there are loose stones, gravel, grit, sand, dust or cut grass etc. there is always a risk of propeller or airframe damage or blockage of air inlets. After operations from prepared unpaved surfaces, where a risk of damage or contamination exists, the aircraft should be thoroughly inspected.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

Make sure the area under and adjacent to the propeller is clear of loose stones or other objects which could damage the propeller or enter the engine or oil cooler air inlets.

TAXllNQ

1. Use minimum power to prevent stone damage particularly when moving away from rest and when turning.

2. Be alert for surface unevenness or obstructions which could cause propeller damage.

3. To turn the aircraft on soft or slippery surfaces using nosewheel steering assisted by brake will help to keep the power low. (Reducing the risk of damage to the propeller or runway surface). If possible avoid making small radius turns.

TAKEOFF

When aligned for takeoff set a low power before brake release. After brake release, as the aircraft begins to accelerate, move the power lever steadily fonvards to achieve Takeoff power. This procedure will reduce the risk of damaging the propeller by loose stones on the ground.

LANDING

BEFORE LANDING ON A PREPARED UNPAVED RUNWAY CHECK THAT THE SURFACE IS FIT FOR OPERATION AT THE INTENDED WEIGHT.

SECTION 10 SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL TIPS

PASSENGER BRIEFINGS

GENERAL

In Sections 3 and 4 there are procedural actions that call for the pilot to brief the passengers. They fall into two categories those forming part of an emergency procedure and the more regular type ones for taxiing prior to takeoff and before landing. Tips for passenger briefings during an emergency cannot be specified as each situation will place a different demand on the pilot. However, much of the content in the Taxiing briefing tips can be used to brief the passengers, if time permits. Tips for the recommended subjects that should be covered for the regular passenger briefings are given in the following lists:
