Limitations Flashcards
Unpressurized Flight
Maximum Altitude for operation after an in flight depressurization is …
10,000 ft. MSL unless MEA or other constraints require a higher altitude.
Maximum Allowable Airspeed
Maximum Allowable Airspeeds (Cont.)
- A full or nearly full rudder deflection in one direction followed by a full or nearly full deflection in the other direction, even at speeds below the design maneuvering speed, can dramatically increase the risk of structural failure of the verticle stabilizer or the rudder.
Note
* Momentary airspeed excursions that re due to wind gusts or turbulence are allowed up to 155 kts. with no crew or maintenance action required.
* Steady state operation over 145 kts. is not allowed and must be entered into the AML
Altitude
Maximum Operating Altitude.
37,000 ft.
Maximum Takeoff and Landing Pressure Altitude…………………………………………………………-1,000 ft.
Maximum Takeoff and Landing Pressure Altitude………………………………………………………….8,000 ft.
Temperature
Takeoff and Landing Temperature Limits
Maximum………………………………………………………-40 C SAT
Note
- In the event of a landing below -40 C SAT, the aircraft may not takeoff without further maintenance inspection.
- TAT in cruise flight above 25,000 ft. is limited to -45 C.
Icing Definitions
On the Ground and for Takeoff
Icing conditions exist when the OAT is 10 C or below and visible moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of one mile or less, rain, snow, sleet, and ice crystals).
Icing conditions also exists when the OAT is 10 C or below when operating on ramps, taxiways or runways where surface snow, ice, standing water or slush may be ingested by the engines, or freeze on engines, nacelles or engine sensor probes.
Caution:
On the ground, do not rely on visual icing evidence or ice detector actuation to turn on the Anti-Icing System. Use the temperature and visible moisture criteria as specified above. Delaying the use of the Anti-Icing system until ice build-up is visible from the cockpit may result in ice ingestion and possible engine damage or flameout.
Icing Definition
In Flight
Icing conditions may exist whenever the Total Air Temperature (TAT) is 10 C or below and visible moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of one mile or less, rain, snow, sleet and ice crystals).
Operating in Icing Conditions
Minimum Temp for Manual Anti-Icing Operation….-40 C
Maximum Temp for Manual Anti-Icing Operation… 10 C
Note
- Use Stable Air Temperature (SAT) on the ground or for takeoff
- Use Total Air Temperature (TAT) for operations in flight
Note
There is no temperature limitation for automatic Anti-icing System operation.
Contaminated Runways
A runway is considered “Contaminated” when more than 25% of the required field length, within the width being used, is covered by:
- More than 1/8th inch (3mm) of:
- standing water
- slush or
- wet snow
- More than 3/4 inches (19mm) of dry snow
- Compacted snow
- Ice
Autopilot
Minimum Disengagement Height ………………….. 500 ft.
Minimum Disengagement Altitude:
- Inst Appr (APR or NAV mode) ………… MDA/DA/DH
- Visual Appr (HDG or NAV as noted) ……………………Traffic Pattern Altitude (1,500 ft. AFL)
Note
Visual approaches may be conducted in NAV mode when authorized by an Envoy Special Visual Approach Procedure in Flight Manual Part 2. The autopilot must be disconnected below 1500 ft. AFL.
- Single engine go-around with auto-pilot engaged is prohibited.
- Approach mode selection during localizer capture is allowed only when aircraft is inbound.
Yaw Damper
Yaw Damper operation is not authorized for:
- Takeoff to 500 ft. AFL.
- Landing
APU Starter Limits
Cooling period:
Between Three Consecutive Attempts …….. 1 min. OFF
Between Two Series of Three Consecutive Attempts …………………………………………………………………… 30 min. OFF
Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS)
The aircraft must not be moved when the AHRS is in the initialization mode until all altitude and heading information presented on the PFD is displayed.
Engine Cool Down After Landing or High Power Runs
Run each engine for a minimum of one minute at idle or taxi thrust before shutdown.
Engine Oil Level
The minimum dispatch oil quantity is eight quarts before Engine Start or seven quarts after Engine Start.
