Abnormal & Emergency Procedures

Question 1

Where can you found abnormal / emergency procedures?

Answer 1

POH section 3.

Question 2

What do the 4 different chapter colors in the QRH indicate?

Answer 2

1. Red = Warning message
2. Amber = Caution message
3. Cyan = Advisory message
4. White = Status message

Question 3

What does an asterisk mean next to the name of a procedure in the QRH?

Answer 3

Requires maintenance action.

Question 4

What’s the procedure for RTO?

Answer 4

1. PCL > Idle
2. Reverse > As required
3. Braking > As required

If the aircraft cannot be stopped on the RWY:
4. PCL > idle
5. Condition lever > Cut-off / feather
6. FUEL EMERG shutoff > Press latch down and pull lever.
7.MASTER POWER switch > EMERGENCY OFF
8. Aircraft > Evacuate

Question 5

What should you do if the amber “Pusher” CAS message stays illuminated after conducting the pusher test?

Answer 5

It’s a no go.
Maintenance is required.
(ref: POH TR 24 - Pusher)

Question 6

When will the CAS show an amber “Battery 1/2” message?

Answer 6

When at least one of the 3 following conditions exists:

1. Battery discharge > 60 Amps
2. Battery voltage < 22 V
3. Battery votage > 30,1 V

Question 7

What does an amber “Hydraulics” message in the CAS indicate?

Answer 7

1. In flight
   1.1. The pressure in the LDG gear hydraulic system has fallen below 1800 PSI 30 seconds ago.

1.2. The hydraulic pum has been operating for more than 2 minutes until at least 30 secondes ago.

2. On the ground after LDG, the hydraulic pump has been operating more than 6 times over an hour during the flight.

Note that this caution message will be inhibited during start-up and approach.

Question 8

When will the CAS display an amber “Air/Ground Fail” message?

Answer 8

When there are more than 1 air/ground input that are in contradiction.*

As a reminder, the air/ground inputs fed to the air/ground system via the MAU are:

1. LH/RH main LDG gear WoW switches
2. RA
3. Calibrated Air Speed

*Note that in case only 1 input is in contradiction, the MAU will simply disregard the input it considers faulty and the airplane will operate normally.

Question 9

Ico amber “Air/Ground Fail” CAS message, how will the aircraft operate?

Answer 9

It will consider that the aircraft is in flight, which means:

1. LDG gear cannot be retracted.
2. Stick pusher is disabled!!!
3. TCAS is disabled!!!

Question 10

How should you best prepare for an engine failure after takeoff above TOSA?

Answer 10

A good tip is to prepare a nav preview with the RWY QFU so that when you suffer an IFSD after TOSA in IMC, you can join the RWY extended centreline more easily.

Question 11

How would you identify a total power loss on the PC12?

Answer 11

When the FF falls clearly below 90 lbs.

Question 12

When would you consider using the MOR ico partial power loss?

Answer 12

When the Ng remains > 50%.

Question 13

When do you have to be most careful when using the MOR?

Answer 13

When flying at high altitude.
The lower you are, the less cautious you need to be.

Question 14

What is the altitude at which an airstart will be possible at any speeds?

Answer 14

8500 ft and below.

Question 14

What is the altitude at which an airstart is possible at a speed of 120 KIAS?

Answer 14

15000 ft and below.

Question 15

On the PC12 NG, what are the two main elements that make an airstart procedure different from a normal start procedure?

Answer 15

Ignition&raquo_space; ON
Condition lever&raquo_space; Flight idle

Question 16

What does an amber “Hydraulics” caution message on the CAS indicate?

Answer 16

It indicates that there is a fault in the hydraulic system.
It can be caused by:
1. A decrease in the hydraulic pressure
2. The hydraulic pump continuously running for 10 minutes
3. The hydraulic pump cycling on/off more than 6 times in the span of one hour (this will show 30 sec after landing)
