Observer stations Manned as necessary and observers periodically rotated. Continuous wearing of headsets not required.
Condition lll
Operational Check
All stations manned by primary operators. Perform ICS check. Obtain equipment status and report to TACCO. TACCO to PIC then set Condition 2
WARNING: at no time shall the MASTER ARM or SRCH PWR be on
NOTE: set by pilot after takeoff and signifies personnel are free to leave their ditching station and perform in flight performance checks.

Start Sequence
- Selecting Engine does what?
- Stater button in
- 16%
- “Light off”
- 35%
- 57-64%
- 94%
- Selecting engine: opens APU load / shutoff valve and bleed air start valve to pressurize the bleed air manifold
- Start button In: energizes start solenoid and allows air to open start valve illuminating start light “button in, light on, air drop” as engine starts to turn after manifold px drop and engine starts rotating (P) “rotation”
- 16%: check 25psi on bleed air manifold is “holding”. A switch in speed sense control opens fuel shutoff valve energizing ignition relay energizing IMP items
- Light off: between 16-33% and usually at 24%rpm and starter light turns off
- 35%: rising oil px in p/s and rgb, EDC light out and paralleling light on before (between 16-65% )“oil px rising, lights out, pumps in parallel”
- 57-65%: starter button pulled out denergizing start solenoid. Start light out as start valve closes and manifold px rises again. TIT spikes shortly after (usually 65%). Parallel light out and fuel press low light out by low rpm stabilizing rpm at 98%
- 94%: second TIT spike due to TD going from start limiting to temp limiting (start limits do not apply). Speed sensative control valve opens to allow 14th stage bleed air to close 5th and 10th compressor bleed air valves. Then normal rpm (96.3-99.1)
- within 60 secs of rotation: low rpm is attained (71.0-73.8)
When to discontinue start
1: Starting bleed air manifold px is less than 25psi at 16%
2: acceleration time from start of rotation to low rpm exceeds 60 secs
3: if peak TIT is between 720-750C continue start and record. If below 720, discontinue start, record and attempt a second start with TD in Null. If subsequent restart is below 720C, discontinue and Mx action required
4: if peak TIT between 830-850C, continue start and record over temp. If above 850, discontinue start, record and investigate before next attempt. If 850 is exceeded a second time, discontinue and Mx action required. If exceeding 965C, an overtemp inspection is required before flight
5: engine speed stagnates or begins to decay
6: engine fails to light off by 33% rpm or Max start motoring rpm, whichever occurs first
7: there is no oil px indicated at 35% for either the rgb or p/s
8: there is fuel speeding from nacelle drain
9: torching or excessive smoke. If torching more than 3 secs, call mx
10: abnormal vibration
11: on initial start, if either prop pump light remains on after low rpm is reached
Why is engine 2 started in normal rpm?
To provide an engine driven Gen and high px 14th stage bleed air to start other engines
Backing procedures
1: post after observer
2: raise flaps to UP
3: operating engines should be in normal rpm
4: wing walkers positioned
5: at night, landing lights retracted
6: maintain speed with power levers. Use fwd thirst to stop backward movement
When lights should be on
- Wing and tail
- Wheelwell
- Taxi
- Landing and Taxi
- Anticollision
- anytime power is applied to aircraft
- during all night ground ops
- hours of darkentss when ac in motion on the ground unless they would blind others
- for all landings takeoffs and approaches and all ops below 10,000’ day or night, high density areas.
- anytime props spinning (off through clouds)
Climb schedule air speeds
4 engine
3 engine
2 engine
220kts to 10,000ft and decreasing 2kts per 1,000ft after
190kts to 20,000ft and decreasing 2kts per 1,000ft after
All two engine climbs are conducted at a constant airspeed of 180kts
NTS check and proper indications
Primary indication of proper check?
HP: -800SHP Min
Engine bleed air switch: open
Power lever: restart slowly to flight idle overserving HP
- Look for flashing feather valve light, negative SHP and noticeable yaw)
Engine bleed air switch: closed
Power lever: advance to set symmetric power
RPM stable below mechanical prop government RPM but above 95% with power lever at flight idle
Fuel log shall be kept…
Missions in excess of 500 nm or more than 6 hrs in duration entered either hourly or ever 5,000lbs
Engine restart during flight air speeds
210-345krs less 6 kts per 1,000’
170kts min
Pull E handle if any of the following occur during in flight restart
1: TIT exceeds 850C
2: no oil px rising by 35%
3: engine rpm stagnates or decays
CP general Duties (NATOPS 18-11)
B: Back up the pilot during all phases of the approach, providing assistance as required.
E: Ensure checklists are completed, nav and com receivers tuned to correct frequencies during approach
A: handle All Coms for terminal procedures
R: record the following info when recieved from ATC
- HDG’s and Alts, freqs, clearances, airport info
CP Specitic duties (NATOPS 18-11)
1: Notify pilot when 1,000ft prior to assigned alt
2: record approach/landing speeds when given on approach checklist
3: when pilot calls for landing gear, repeat approach/ landing speeds, DH or MDA
4: Call out anytime airspeed slower than specified
5: Call out “APPROACHING DH/MDA when 100 above mins
6: Call contact and runway location (L/R) when in sight (runway or approach lights)
7: Complete landing checklist with pilot/ FE and review 500ft AGL
8: Be prepared to assist the pilot as directed in the event a missed approach procedure must be executed
9: call out any rate of decent in excess of 1000fpm when on final
10: call out “APP MODE” During FMS app. When RNP value sequences to RNP.3 (2nm from FAF)
11: Set desired alt in ADDU and call out alt. Pilot shall repeat alt after verifying properly set
12: Make all necessary entries into the CDU. FLPN mods shall be verified by Pilot prior to execution.
How do you determine max range IAS while climbing to assigned level of altitude?
Configurations A,B, C
Configurations D and E
205 plus 1/2 of gross weight in thousands - the altitudes thousands
180 plus 1/2 of gross weight in thousands - twice the altitude in thousands
Note
- for 3 engine ops: subtract 10kts from formula
- for 2 engines: subtract 20kts
