Maneuvers

Question 1

Non Precision Approach

Answer 1

Prior to IAF - 150kts, flaps 0
Final approach course - flaps 15
FAF Inbound - Gear down, flaps set to landing, airspeed to AOA
Landing assured - AP/YD off 400’agl, intercept VASI

Question 2

Visual Approach

Answer 2

Pattern entry - 1500’agl, PCL 15psi, 150kts
Downwind - Gear down, flaps 15, PCL 12psi, 110kts
Base - flaps as required, YD off, 100-120kts, final check complete
Final - Airspeed DSB centered, feet on the floor!
After landing - PCL idle or reverse, Control lever ground idle

Question 3

Precision Approach

Answer 3

On vectors - Flaps 0, 150kts
Intercepting localizer - APR armed, LOC armed/captured, GS armed/captured, flaps 15
Glide slope capture - gear down 1 dot below GS, landing flaps set, ALT set to missed, 120kts
Landing assured - AP/YD off at 200’agl

Question 4

Steep turns

Answer 4

150 kts
Torque as required
Bank smoothly to 50
Maintain altitude +/- 100’

Question 5

How do you arm the VGP?

Answer 5

Press APR, and:

FMS is selected NAV source
Non localizer based approach is active
GPS is in terminal mode
Approach contains missed approach altitude

Question 6

What are the different ways to disengage the AP?

Answer 6

AP disconnect button on each yoke
AP switch on flight control panel
YD switch on flight control panel
Elevator trim switch on each yoke
Rudder trim switch on PCL
Trim Interrupt switch on center console
Alternate Stab Trim switch on center console

Question 7

Will VPATH level off at bugged altitudes?

Answer 7

Yes

Question 8

Airspeeds

Answer 8

Vso - 67
Vs1 - 95
Vr30 - 76
Vr15 - 82
Best glide - 119 max weight
Vfe30-40 - 120
Vx - 120
Vy - 130 at sea level
Climb in pusher ice mode - 140
Vfe15 - 155
Vlo - 160
Vle - 220
Vne - 220

Question 9

What approaches do you fly in APR mode?

Answer 9

Anything with a DA or LOC
- ILS
- LPV
- LOC
- BC

Question 10

What approaches would you descend in VGP mode?

What do you set your altitude bug to after GS intercept?

Answer 10

All approaches with a DA, except ILS. ILS uses GS mode

After glide path intercept, set alt bug to missed approach altitude

Question 11

Short field takeoff

Answer 11

Flaps 30
ACS bleed air as required
PCL set to takeoff torque
Rotate at 76
Pitch for Vx 120
+ROC: flaps 15, gear up, YD ON
After clear of obstacles and >100kts: flaps up
Taxi/landing lights OFF

Question 12

Vref in icing, flaps 15, Pusher Ice Mode

Answer 12

110

Question 13

Rotate procedure

Answer 13

Rotate at Vr
+ROC:
Gear up
YD ON
Taxi/landing lights OFF
>100kts flaps up
Pitch for Vx or Vy

Question 14

Missed Approach

Answer 14

G/A Switch: press
PCL set to balked landing torque
Flaps 15
Pitch for 95kts
+ROC gear up
YD ON
Taxi/landing lights OFF
>100 kts flaps UP
Ice protection as required

Question 15

AP Uncommanded Deviation from flight path

Answer 15

1. Grasp yoke firmly and regain control
2. Press AP disconnect switch
3. Retrim
4. Pull A/P SERVO circuit breaker (L-Z2)
