cabin rate of descent equals one-third
aircraft rate of descent.
2. CABIN signs – As required.
3. POWER levers – IDLE.
4. PROP levers – HIGH RPM.
5. GEAR – UP.
6. FLAPS – UP.
7. Airspeed – Vmo maximum.
8. ICE PROTECTION switches – As required.
9. RECOG lights – As required.
O
10. Ferry fuel caps – Loosen or remove if rate
of descent exceeds 1500 fpm.
b. Descent – Maximum Rate (Landing
Configuration). If required to descend at a low
airspeed (e.g., to conserve airspace or in turbulence),
approach flaps and landing gear may be extended to
increase the rate and angle of descent while
maintaining a slower airspeed. To perform, use the
following procedure:
1. Cabin pressurization – Set. Adjust cabin
controller
dial
as
required.
While
descending, adjust rate control knob so that
cabin rate of descent equals one-third
aircraft rate of descent.
2. CABIN signs – As required.
3. POWER levers – IDLE.
4. PROP levers – HIGH RPM.
5. FLAPS – APPROACH.
6. GEAR – DN.
7. Airspeed – 181 KIAS maximum.
8. ICE PROTECTION switches – As required.
9. RECOG lights – As required.
O
10. Ferry fuel caps – Loosen or remove if rate
of descent exceeds 1500 fpm.
8-39. APPROACH.
1. HSI NAV SOURCE – As required.
a. Ensure the correct navigational source
for the approach has been selected.
O
2. TCAS – Set as required.
8-40. BEFORE LANDING.
1. CABIN signs – NO SMOKE & FSB.
2. AUTOFEATHER – ARM.
3. ENGINE ANTI-ICE – As required.
4. PROP levers – As required.
NOTE
During approach, propellers should be set
at 1900 RPM to prevent glideslope
interference (ILS approach), provide better
power response during approach, and
minimize attitude change when advancing
propeller levers for landing.
5. FLAPS (below 200 KIAS) – APPROACH.
6. GEAR (below 181 KIAS) – DOWN/confirm.
7. LANDING/TAXI LIGHTS – As required.
8. BRAKE DEICE – As required.
9. CONDITION levers – HIGH IDLE.
O
10. TCAS – Set as required.
8-41. LANDING.
Performance
data
charts
for
landing
computations assume the runway is paved, level, and
dry. Additional runway must be allowed when these
conditions are not met. Do not consider headwind
during landing computations. However, if landing must
be downwind, include the tailwind in landing distance
computation. Conduct all landings in accordance with
the Aircrew Training Manual (ATM). Perform the
following procedure as the aircraft nears the runway.
1. AP & YD – Disengaged.
2. Gear down lights – Check/confirm.
3. PROP levers – HIGH RPM.
8-42. TOUCH AND GO LANDING.
The instructor should select a point on the
runway where all pre-takeoff procedures will have
been completed prior to the pilot's initial application of
power. In selecting this point, prime consideration
shall be given to the required accelerate-stop distance
pre-computed on a current TOLD Card. The nose
wheel should be on the runway and rolling straight
before the power is advanced. After the pilot applies
power to within 5% of the takeoff power, the
instructor's actions are the same as during a normal
takeoff. Use the following procedure:
