Answer 14

1) If you can’t check your navaids or Instruments its ok… as long as they are all checked prior to BEFORE TAKEOFF CHECKLIST.
2) Recommended that Oil Cooler augmentation off during operations with all 4 in Low Speed Ground Idle.
3) Do not downspeed engines when taxi speed, wind or combination of two exceeds 30 Knots.

5)

Question 16

Plane Dimensions

Answer 16

1) 169 Feet 8 inches - wing span

2) 38 Feet - vertical stab

Question 17

Take-Off

Answer 17

1) If FF, Torque, or TIT are not similar above crossover - PROP ISSUE EXISTs
2) if FF Torque or TIT are not similar - Perform Temp Control Check.
3) Nose wheel steering is required to continue a take-off after engine failure.
4) A rolling take-off is preferred if TOLD permits.
5) Smooth take off - rotate 5 knots below take-off speed.
6) The pilot monitoring will monitor instruments and adjust throttles to assure proper take-off power.

Question 18

Instrument Take-Off

Answer 18

1) Set The flight Director System indicators.
2) Align horizon bar on ADI with Wings of miniature airplane.
3) Set Departure course on the HSI (a. Set heading marker to the most logical position. b. Check HSI and RMI to ensure indicators are correct. c. Flight director switch manual and nav aid for the departure).

4) Align Airplane on the runway - use nose wheel steering until rudder control becomes effective.
5) 5 knots before take-off speed rotate and establish 7 degree nose up attitude on the ADI.
6) Establish a definite climb and indicated by altimeter and VSI. Then retract the gear.
7) Retract the flaps after the plane accelerates to take-off speed +20.
8) Climb out at 4 engine climb speed.

Question 19

Escape Maneuvers

Answer 19

1) Departure/Approach.
- Immediately and simultaneously rotate the airplane to at least 7 degrees pitch up.
- roll wigs level
- add maximum power
- continue until warning ceases.

• If flaps up - no less than flaps up approach speed.
• if Flaps 100/50 - no less than obstacle clearance.

2) Enroute
- immediately and simultaneously rotate 7 degrees pitch up.
- roll wings level adn add max power
- continue until warning has ceased.
- Rotate the airplane to maintain a max climb angle.

• Flaps up - no less than 160.
• Flaps 50/100 - no slower than 130.
• Do not delay pull up for diagnosis of the low altitude warning.
• Flaps 100 - consider raising the flaps to 50 percent once a positive rate of climb is established and appropriate airspeed exists. Consider lowering the flaps to 50 percent to increase lift and the stall margin.

Question 20

Wind shear on take-off

Answer 20

1) Maintain Obstacle Clearance Speed with max power.
2) Keep until out of shear condition.

3) If wind shear occurs immediate after takeoff - Ground impact is a concern - Target Max Effort Obstacle Clearance Speed ( 10 below obstacle clearance speed).

Question 21

Penetrations

Answer 21

1) Before reaching initial approach fix begin the descent checklist
2) Flight Idle and smoothly establish descent at least 4,000 FPM
3) Follow the published penetration procedure
4) Start level off 1,000 feet above the published minimum. Establish 170 Knots at the published minimum inbound altitude.
5) Complete the before landing checklist prior to reaching final approach fix.

Question 22

Landing

Answer 22

1) If Landing performance is critical - use max reverse thrust, max anti skid braking
2) At high true airspeeds and/or high ambient conditions with the throttles at flight idle - abrupt movement of the throttles into the ground range could result in pitchlock.
3) If Flaps are less than 70%, landing gear warning may not occur in time to warn aircrew that the landing gear is not down and preclude a gear-up touchdown.

4) Retarding the throttles below flight IDLE at airspeeds above 115 Knots could result in power-loss on one or more engines.
- Refers to flight idle to maximum reverse in less than 1 second.
- if this occurs maintenance action is required.

Question 23

WInd Shear

Answer 23

1) An unusually steep or shallow rate of descent required to maintain glidepath.
2) An unusually high or low power setting required to maintain approach speed.
3) A large variation between reported surface wind and displayed winds on final approach.

Question 24

Wind Shear Decreasing headwind

Answer 24

1) Add power and increase pitch to regain the proper glidepath.
2) Once speed and glidepath are regained - prompt reduction of power is necessary.
3) It will now require less power and greater rate of descent to maintain profile.

Question 25

Wind Shear Increasing Headwind

Answer 25

1) Use 50 percent flaps for landing
2) Crosscheck/monitor ground speed
3) minimize power changes, especially large power reductions
4) use the flight director to maximum extent possible.

Question 26

Define Severe Windshear

Answer 26

1) +/- 15 knots airspeed
2) +/- 500 FPM altitude change
3) +/- degrees pitch attitude change
4) +/- 2.5 dot glideslope deviation
5) unusual power requirements for an extended period of time.

Question 27

Wind Shear Recovery

Answer 27

1) Announce a go-around
2) Set maximum power (if you are going to touch down then target threshold speed)
3) copilot monitor and call sink rate and airspeed.
4) Navigator engineer monitor Radar altimeter
5) If 100 flap landing - go to 50 flap landing - never get slower than obstacle clearance.
6) Do not retract landing gear until recovery is complete with two positive rates.
7) when clear of wind shear - adjust pitch and power.
8) When conditions permit report the encounter with ATC.

Question 28

Crosswind landings

Answer 28

1) Upwind wing has a tendency to rise when reverse thrust is applied.
2) If flaps are 100 - move to 50 before applying reverse thrust.

Question 29

After Landing

Answer 29

1) Do not downspeed the engines when taxi speed, wind or combination of two exceeds 30 knots.
2) Engine shutdown should not be accomplished when taxi speed, wind velocity is greater than 20 knots.
3) It recommended that engines be run a minimum of 2 minutes in low speed ground idle before shutdown.

4) Oil cooler augmentation be placed to OFF.
- keep oil in limits - but preference is for them to be off before shutdown.
