VMO/MMO
Maximum Operating Airspeed
320 Knots/0.78 Mach
Do not deliberately exceed in any regime of flight
VMO from 8,000 to 10,000 Feet MSL
Red Line
Increases linerarly from 250 knots at 8,000 feet to 320 knots at 10,000 feet
VMO up to 8,000 Feet
250 Knots
VB/MB
Maximum Turbulence Penetration
250 Knots/0.63 Mach (whichever is lower)
200 Knots at or below 10,000 feet
VA
Maximum Maneuvering
200 Knots
Manuevering Speed Limitation
Full application of rudder and ailerons, and maneuvers involving angle of attack near stall, must be confined to speeds below VA
Landing Gear Speed Limitations
Extension: 250 Knots
Retraction: 200 Knots
Flap Placard Speeds
9 Degrees: 250 Knots
18/22 Degrees: 200 Knots
45 Degrees: 145 Knots
Momentary airspeed excursions that are due to wind gusts or turbulence are allowed up to 155 knots with no crew or maintenance action required
Steady state operation over 145 knots is not allowed and must be entered into the AML
Maximum Wiper Operation
160 Knots
Rudder Limitation
A full or nearly full rudder deflection in one direction, followed by a full or nearly full deflection in the opposite direction, even at speeds bleow the design manuevering speed, can dramitically increase the risk of structural failure of the vertical stabilizer or the rudder
VMCG
VMCA
VMCL
V1 Speeds are always higher
VR Speeds are always higher
VREF Speeds are always higher
Maximum Operation Altitude
37,000 Feet
Minimum Takeoff and Landing Pressure Altitude
-1000 Feet
Maximum Takeoff and Landing Pressure Altitude
8,000 Feet
Minimum Takeoff and Landing Temperature
-40 Degrees C SAT
In the event of a landing below -40 Degrees C SAT, the aircraft may not takeoff without further maintenance inspection
TAT in crusie flight above 25,000 Feet is limited to -45 Degrees C
Momentary deviations up to -50 Degrees C do not require maintenance action
Maximum Takeoff Temperature
-1000 Feet: 52 Degrees C SAT
8000 Feet: 34 Degrees C SAT
Icing Definition
On the Ground and Takeoff
Icing conditions exist when the OAT is 10 Degrees C or below AND visible moisture in any form is present (rain, snow, sleet, ice, clouds, or fog with visibility of 1 mile or less)
Icing conditions also exist when the OAT is 10 Degrees C or below when operation on ramps, taxiways, or runways where surface snow, slush, ice, or standing water may be ingested by the engines, or freeze on engines, nacelles, or engine sensor probes
Icing Caution on the Ground
Do not rely on visual icing condtions or ice detector actuation to turn on the Anti-Icing System. Use the temperature and visible moisture criteria. Delaying the use of the Anti-Icing System until ice build-up is visible from the cockpit may result in ice ingetstion and possible engine damage or flameout.
Icing Definition
In Flight
Icing conditions may exist whenever the TAT is 10 Degrees C or below AND visibile moisture in any form is present (rain, snow, sleet, ice, clouds, or fog with visibility of 1 mile or less)
Icing Caution in Flight
Notwithstanding ice detector monitoring, the crew remains responsible for monitoring potential icing conditions and for manual activiation of the Ice Protection System if icing conditions are present and the Ice Detection System is not activating the Ice Protection System
Minimum Temperature for Manual Anti-Icing Operation
-40 Degrees C
SAT on the Ground and Takeoff
TAT in Flight
Maximum Temperature for Manual Anti-Icing Operation
10 Degrees C
SAT on the Ground and Takeoff
TAT in Flight
Takeoff with Airframe Icing
Takeoff is prohibited when frost, snow, ice, or slush is adhering to the wings, control surfaces, stabilizers, pitot static ports, or AOA vanes
1/8 inch frost layer is permitted on the underwing surfaces. Frost is NOT permitted on the lower or upper surface of the horizontal stabilizer or the upper surface of the wing
Runway Contamination
MORE than 25% of the required field length, within the width being used, is covered by:
More than 1/8 of water, slush, or wet snow
More than 3/4 inch of dry snow
Compacted Snow
Ice
Tactile Check
When the outside temperature is 5 Degrees C or below and:
Visibile Moisture or Water is Present on the Wing
Dew Point and Temperature spread is 3 Degrees C or less
Atmospheric Conditions are conducive to frost formation
Autopilot Engagement
500 Feet
Autopilot Disengagement
Instrument Approach: MDA/DA/DH
