How To Fly It

Question 1

To avoid a “Too Low Flap” annunciation from the EGPWS as the aircraft
descends through 200ft AGL with less than Flap 15 selected?

Answer 1

the EGPWS
Flap Over-ride will be pressed ON

Question 2

For a Flap 0 landing approximately what torque and attitude ?

Answer 2

12-15% TQ and approximately 4-5
degrees nose up can be expected.

Question 3

Altitude Capture in circuit ?

Answer 3

Smoothly adjust pitch attitude at level-off to set approximately 4˚ nose up
while smoothly reducing the Torque to approximately 25-30%.
This will ensure that the aircraft maintains approximately 190kts in level flight.
Anticipate the need for significant rudder application/trim when reducing torque.

Question 4

When to do after takeoff checks ?

Answer 4

Once the aircraft is trimmed in level flight at 190kts:

Question 5

Early Downwind circuit what do you do ?

Answer 5

PF: Entering downwind call “SET 850, MCR” (if not already set).
PM: “MCR, 850”
PF: Confirm below 200KIAS and call for Flap 5 and allow speed to settle around 170KIAS
PM: Check speed below 200KIAS and select flap 5.
PM: Ensure that the TOLD card and SPEED card are set to LANDING data.
PF: Brief the approach and then call for the
“DESCENT CHECKS” and then the “APPROACH CHECKLIST

Question 6

As the aircraft passes abeam the downwind threshold
commence timing for?

Answer 6

45 seconds (adjusted for wind).

Question 7

Configuration down wind ?

Answer 7

PF: Keep power set at 25% - 30% and direct the configuration of the aircraft.
PM: Monitor speeds for flap configuration

Question 8

Airspeed should reduce to approximately what at the end of downwind?

Answer 8

140-150kts

Question 9

What torque,Pitch, speed and ROD required for base ?

Answer 9

15%
0 degrees pitch
140kts
800fpm

Question 10

If Flap 35 Landing during the base leg what do you do?

Answer 10

Call “FLAPS 35” then “CONDITION LEVERS MAX”
Anticipate balloon and speed reduction by applying forward
elevator pressure (2°Nose down) with power increase ≈ 25%TQ)

Question 11

Approximate height for turning final ?

Answer 11

1100ft
Approximately 3.5nm final

Question 12

Stabilise the airspeed at Vapp (F15) by?

Answer 12

setting power approx 15% TQ and pitch approximately +1º

Question 13

Stabilise the airspeed at Vapp (F35) by?

Answer 13

setting power approx 25% TQ and pitch attitude approx -2º

Question 14

What flap setting do we need to have to get below the FAF approach speed ?

Answer 14

Max speed is 140kts
Therefore you need flap 15 to get below 140kts and above VREF/VREF ICE

Question 15

Once established in level flight at the MDA for a circling approach what configuration do you need ?

Answer 15

its important to ensure
the aircraft is trimmed in the approach configuration,
(Gear down + Flaps 15 + Condition levers MAX).
35% torque
140kts
2-3 degrees

Question 16

How to turn down wind for a circling approach ?

Answer 16

60 degrees off your current track for 25s
Be approx 2-2.5nm from the runway.

Question 17

Timing once abeam the landing threshold ?

Answer 17

35-45s

Question 18

At your decent point when circling what should set for torque, ROD, and Pitch?

Answer 18

15%
700fpm
+1 degree
