Normal Procedure Briefs Flashcards
Takeoff Brief
Flight Engineer, set 945 TIT on my command, Co-pilot, call 80 kts for a power and airspeed check, we are looking for 3500 SHP, and will abort with anything less than 3325 SHP. Call refusal at 100 kts and rotate and 115 kts. Call out all malfunctions by type and engine number. If a malfunction occurs prior to refusal. I will abort the takeoff. If a prop malfunction occurs prior to refusal, I will initiate an abort and call for the e-handle as I am retarding the power levers toward flight idle. If a malfunction occurs after refusal, I will fly the aircraft and once we are safely airborne, we will handle the malfunction as a crew. Are there any questions?
Loiter Brief
Crew,engine #1 is shut down for loiter. If we have a malfunction on an operating engine requiring immediate shutdown, we will shut down the applicable engine and complete the emergency shutdown checklist through ALTERNATE HRD. Then we will restart engine #1 beginning with PCO. If we have a deferred malfunction and elect to restart #1 first, Flight Engineer, I will call for you to PCO and restart #1. Once you call normal restart, we will take corrective action on the malfunction.
Touch and Go brief
Co-pilot after touchdown, reset flaps and trim, call ‘go’ when ready, FE set 3500 for the go or go-around. Co-pilot, call rotate at 115 kts with power set.
Subsequent Touch and Go Briefs:
Touch & Go brief remains the same, we will use 3500 SHP for the go or go-around.
Engine Start Brief
Co-pilot, ensure we have permission to start engines from ground control. In case of an emergency requiring assistance, contact ground control using our side number and parking spot. During the starts of engines 1& 2. I will call rotation and monitor the observer. Co-pilot backup the flight engineer. On starts 3 & 4, we will swap duties. We will both time the starts. Flight engineer start engines on my command and act on all malfunctions in accordance with the operators’s manual. Are there any questions?
What is needed for NTS check? defines a Satisfactory NTS Check?
N-S-W-E (Never Sleep With Eng)
- NTS switch in FX check
- Synch Servo Off for selected engine
- Wing Deice all on from selected engine
- Eng Anti-ice on for selected engine
A stabilized RPM less than mechanical propeller governing RPM with the PL at Flight Idle and one of the following:
- Yaw of aircraft
- initial or continuous flashing Feather valve light
- initial or continued negative SHP
What are the prerequisites to Loiter? With #4 ENG?
4 ENG GATO + GEN 4 XFR BUS, BUS A, BUS B set (in).
G-A-T-O
- Generators 2 & 3 available
- All buses energized
- Top 3 Bottom 3 of SHP, TIT, RPM, FF
- OAT must be either > 10degrees with visible moisture or >0 with no visible moisture (exception in AOM)
FE ENG Restart Brief
Pilot, on your command I will press the PCO button for 10 seconds. Check for no blade angle or rotation. After 10 seconds I will release the PCO and call for unfeathering number 1 now. Pilot/copilot call blade angle and rotation. I will call rotation indicated, flashing feather valve light, and oil pressure rising in both sections. Upon reaching stabilized RPM, I will turn on the number 1 fuel and ignition switch and call lightoff. At lightoff, I will release the feather button and standby the emergency shutdown handle for any malfunctions.
Simulated 3ENG LDG Brief
Crew, this will be a 3ENG landing to full stop with #1 engine simulated feathered. Copilot adivse the tower we are making a full stop landing. When the nose wheel is on the deck, I’ll bring all four power levers over the ramp. On your command, I’ll release the #1 power levers & reverse with the remaining three. I’ll expect a swerve to the right. I’ll counter the swerve with forward yoke & aileron to the left and maintain centerline using rudder and asymmetric thrust. Copilot, on my command hold the forward yoke & aileron to the left. If we have the go-around, we will use 3500 SHP. Any questions?
