NOTE
AUTOFEATHER
annunciators
will
illuminate and extinguish with each
fluctuation of torque as the propeller
feathers.
(1) Approximately 16 to 21% torque,
opposite
AUTOFEATHER
annunciator extinguishes, IGN ON
annunciator illuminated.
(2) Approximately 9 to 14% torque, both
AUTOFEATHER
annunciators
extinguished (prop begins to feather).
(3) Return
POWER
levers
to
approximately 22% torque.
e. Repeat procedure with other engine.
f. POWER levers IDLE.
g. AUTOFEATHER switch ARM.
h. AUTO IGNITION switches OFF.
H
4. Overspeed governors and rudder boost
Check as required.
a. RUDDER BOOST switch On.
b. PROP levers HIGH RPM.
c. PROP GOV TEST switch Hold in TEST
position.
d. Left POWER lever Increase until
propeller
is
stabilized
at
1830
1910 RPM. Continue to increase until
rudder movement is noted. (Observe
ITT and torque limits.)
e. POWER lever Retard to IDLE.
f. Repeat steps c, d, and e for the right
engine.
H
5. Primary governors Check as required.
a. POWER levers Set 1800 RPM.
b. PROP levers Retard to FEATHER
detent. Note propellers stabilize between
1600 and 1640 RPM.
c. PROP levers HIGH RPM. Note
propellers return to 1800 RPM.
H
6. ENGINE ANTI-ICE Check.
a. ENGINE ANTI-ICE ON.
(1) Both advisory lights illuminated.
(2) Both bypass doors extended.
(3) Maximum time for (1) and (2) is
15 seconds.
b. ENGINE ANTI-ICE OFF.
(1) Both advisory lights extinguish.
(2) Both bypass doors retracted.
(3) Maximum time for (1) and (2) is
15 seconds.
c. Electrical standby system Check.
7. CONDITION levers HIGH IDLE.
8. POWER levers IDLE.
H
9. Anti-ice/deice systems Check.
a. PROP deice Check. When MANUAL
mode is selected, note rise on DC
loadmeter. When AUTO mode is
selected, monitor prop ammeter for
90 seconds and ensure the indicator
remains in the normal operating range
the entire time.
NOTE
If windshield heat is needed prior to
takeoff, use NORMAL setting for a
minimum of 15 minutes prior to selecting
HIGH to provide adequate preheating and
minimize the effects of thermal shock. The
windshield heat thermostat will invalidate
the check in OAT above 20 to 30
C.
b. WSHLD ANTI-ICE Check. Note
increases on the loadmeter and cycle
through both normal and high settings.
c. All anti-ice/deice switches OFF.
d. Surface deice system Check.
H
10. Vacuum and pneumatic system Check.
a. LEFT BLEED AIR VALVE OFF.
(1) Pneumatic and suction pressures
remain normal.
(2) L
BL
AIR
OFF
annunciator
illuminates.
(3) Both BL AIR FAIL annunciators
remain extinguished.
b. RIGHT BLEED AIR VALVE OFF.
(1) Pneumatic and suction pressures
read zero.
(2) Both BL AIR OFF and BL AIR FAIL
annunciators illuminated.
