TM 1-1510-224-10
25,000 to 35,000 FEET.............................120 KIAS
NOTE
The
maximum
rate
of
climb
performance is obtained by setting
maximum continuous power and
maintaining two-engine climb speed.
1.
Climb power Set.
2.
Propeller synchronization As required.
(3)
Yaw damper ENGAGE (required above
17,000 feet).
(4)
BRAKE deice As required.
(5)
ICE
VANE
CONTROL
switches
As
required.
(6)
STANDBY PUMP switches As required
(refer to Chapter 5).
(7)
Cabin pressurization Check. Adjust rate
control knob so that cabin rate-of-climb
equals one third of aircraft rate-of-climb.
8.
Wings and center section Check for
security and no fuel/oil leaks.
9.
Flare/chaff dispenser safety pin Remove
as required.
(10)
ASE As required.
(11)
RADIO ALT switch OFF.
8-28. CRUISE.
Refer to Chapter 7 for airspeed, power settings,
and fuel flow information. The following procedures are
to be used for cruise configuration:
1.
Power Set.
(2)
ICE & RAIN switches As required.
(3)
AUTOFEATHER As required.
(4)
Auxiliary fuel gages Monitor.
5.
Altimeters Check.
6.
Engine instrument indications Noted.
7.
RECOG lights As required.
8-29. DESCENT.
Descent from cruise altitude should normally be
made by letting down at cruise airspeed with reduced
power. (Refer to Chapter 7 for performance data.)
NOTE
Cabin
altitude
and
rate-of-climb
controller should be adjusted pnor to
starting descent.
If required to descend at a low airspeed (e.g., to
conserve airspace or minimize turbulence), approach
flaps and landing gear may be extended to increase the
rate and angle of descent while maintaining the slower
airspeed.
8-30. DESCENT-ARRIVAL.
Refer to Chapter 7 for performance data.
Perform the following checks prior to the final descent for
landing:
WARNING
Vmo may be easily exceeded when
descending from high altitude. The
pilot should frequently cross check
the airspeed limit indicators to avoid
exceeding Vmo. Exceeding V,, could
result in structural failure and loss of
airframe integrity.
(1)
CABIN CONTROLLER Set.
(2)
ICE & RAIN switches As required.
CAUTION
Set windshield anti-ice to NORMAL or
HIGH as required well before descent
into icing conditions or into warm
moist air to aid in defogging. Turn off
windshield anti-ice when descent is
completed to lower altitudes and
when heating is no longer required.
This will preclude possible wind
screen distortions.
(3)
WINDSHIELD anti-ice As required.
4.
RECOG lights On.
5.
Altimeters Set to current altimeter setting.
(6)
RADIO ALT switch ON.
(7)
ASE As required.
(8)
STANDBY PUMP switches As required.
9.
Flare/chaff dispenser safety pin Insert.
10.
Avionics and EFIS display controller Set
and check. Ensure EFIS displays match
procedure to be flown.
