Checks

Question 1

Taking-Off Checks

Answer 1

Vr = 76 kts
Positive Rate of Climb + Speed < 152 kts: Gear UP
At 200 ft AAL: Flaps UP
At 400 ft AAL: Power 92%

Vy= 90 kts
After 1000ft, either continue at Vy to TOC or change to Cruise Climb (120 kts).

Alternate Air - As Required above 1000’
Fuel Pumps (2) - OFF
Landing/Taxi Lights - OFF
Altimeters - Set/Cross-Checked
Transponder Mode - Checked

Question 2

Go-Around Checks / Procedure

Answer 2

Power 100%, One Hand Free, Drag Flap up to APP
Pitch Up (8°-10°)
Positive ROC + Speed < 152 kts: Gear UP
At 200 ft AGL: Speed Stable (>85 kts) and increasing -> Flaps UP
Pitch up for Vy (12°)
At 400 ft AGL: Power 92%

Question 3

Engine Failure during / after TO (checks / procedures)

Answer 3

On runway:
- Before rotation, close power levers, gently apply brakes, call “STOP STOP STOP” and call the tower “AYRXXX” Stopping”, (…)

• Airborne (<85 kts):
  Close both power levers and maintain control.
  Confirm 3 greens.
  Land and clear runway if applicable.
  Mayday + Intentions
• Airborne (>85 kts, no useful runway remaining):
  Control and fly the aircraft.
  Full Power, Gear Up, Flaps UP
  Shallow Climb (4°-5°)
  VYSE (>85 kts)
  Confirm which engine has failed, Feather Engine or Fire Drill
  New Shallow Climb Attitude: 6°-8°
  Ts & Ps for Good Engine
  Check Performance
  Power 92%
  (Fire: Mayday / Failure: PanPan)

Question 4

SPIRIT Checks

Answer 4

180° turn to regain IMC
If you didn’t regain VMC, SPIRIT checks:

Safety Altitude (climb above MSA, if already above consider descending to MSA to regain VMC).
Pitot Heat (ON)
Ice (If OAT below freezing, ice checklist in emergency section).
Radio (PanPan, inadvertently entered IMC, non-instrument rated, request vectors to airport with suitable WX).
IFR Altitude/Level (In accordance with magnetic track and ATC clearance).
Transponder (Squawk as requested by ATC).

Question 5

Cruise Checks

Answer 5

Every 8 to 10 minutes:
Engine: Ts & Ps within limits.
System: Electrical inputs are reading good, no warnings.
Fuel: Balanced and enough to continue with the navigation.
If not balanced, the XFEED valve of the lower tank should be used.
CO Detector: Amber color.
NRST: Check nearest airport to be used in case of any issue.

Question 6

Taxi Checks

Answer 6

1. Brakes.… Check
2. Rudder/Steering…. Full Deflection/Check
3. Flight instruments…. Check
   a) PFD - Turn rate/ HSI/ AH/ Slip
   b) Standby instruments - AH / Slip / Compass

Question 7

Pre-Climb Checks

Answer 7

Ts & Ps in the green
Altimeters set and crosschecked
Target altitude set in window
Lookout

Question 8

Pre-Descent Checks

Answer 8

Altimeters set and crosschecked
Target altitude set in window
MSA (call if visual)
Lookout (around and below)

Question 9

Climb or descent in VMC (every 1000 ft)

Answer 9

A - Altitude: passing current altitude for target altitude
L - Lookout: Weave or lower nose to check area below nose
T - Check Ts & Ps in the green and no icing
