Q

Propeller Limitations

A

Propeller limitations consist of rpm limits. The normal propeller operating range (green arc) extends from 1,600 to 2,000 rpm, with a red line at 2,000 rpm.

WARNING - Propeller operation between 1,750 to 1,850 rpm during ILS approach may result in glideslope signal interference.

Q

Brake Deice Limitations (3)

A
  1. Do not operate longer than 10 minutes (one timer cycle) with the landing gear retracted.
  2. A minimum of 85 percent N1 should be maintained during simultaneous use of surface and brake deice
    systems. If adequate pneumatic pressure cannot be provided for simultaneous use of both systems, use of the brake deice may be limited.
  3. Do not use system during single-engine operation or if pneumatic pressure is being supplied by a single bleed air source.

WARNING - If an engine failure should occur during brake deice system operation, the rudder boost system may not operate. Increased rudder pedal forces should be anticipated until the brake deice system is turned off.
