SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
This handbook should be read carefully by the owner and the operator in order to become familiar with the
operation of the airplane. Suggestions and recommendations have been made within it to aid in obtaining
maximum performance without sacrificing economy. Be familiar with, and operate the airplane in
accordance with, the Pilots Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Flight Manual, and/or placards
which are located in the airplane.
As a further reminder, the owner and operator of the airplane should also be familiar with the Federal
Aviation Regulations applicable to the operation and maintenance of the airplane, and FAR Part 91,
General Operating and Flight Rules. Further, the airplane must be operated and maintained in accordance
with FAA Airworthiness Directives which may be issued against it.
The Federal Aviation Regulations place the responsibility for the maintenance of this airplane on the owner
and the operator, who should ensure that all maintenance is done by qualified mechanics in conformity with
all airworthiness requirements established for this airplane.
All limits, procedures, safety practices, time limits, servicing, and maintenance requirements contained in
this handbook are considered mandatory for the continued airworthiness of this airplane in a condition
equal to that of its original manufacture.

USE OF THE MANUAL


A current manual is an informative manual. Every effort will be made by Dynamic Aviation Group, Inc. to
incorporate the latest information available so that you may always have a current BEECHCRAFT King
Air 65-A90-1 & -4 Pilots Operating Manual. The following information will inform you of the divisions of
the book and the proper manner of updating the revision records and amending the content of the book as
the material becomes available to you.

DIVISIONS OF THE MANUAL


The Pilots Operating Manual is divided into two basic parts: the FAA Approved portion which includes
the FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual and Supplements (each page being identified as such with the
FAA approved date), and the Pilot's Operating Manual that is not FAA Approved, which includes the
remainder of the manual. The FAA Approved sections of the manual are distinguished from the nonapproved sections with divider tabs marked FAA Approved preceding the title of the section.
The FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual bears its own part number and is a complete manual in itself.
The Pilots Operating Manual bears a separate part number and is incomplete without the FAA Approved
Flight Manual.

PILOTS OPERATING MANUAL REVISION RECORD


The Pilots Operating Manual Log of Revisions pages are used for description of all revisions to the
Pilots Operating Manual. When a revision is made, a new Log of Revisions sheet will be issued. This
must be inserted immediately ahead of all previously issued Log of Revisions sheets. All Log of
Revisions pages must be retained in the manual to provide a current record of revision status. As noted at
the bottom of the page, each revised portion of the pages issued will have a black vertical bar indicating the
current change. All revised pages listed in the new Log of Revisions are to be removed and replaced with
the current page. The Control Page will also be changed to reflect the current status of the Pilots Operating
Manual.

FAA APPROVED AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL REVISION RECORD


The FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual FAA Log of Revisions pages are used for description of all
Revisions to the FAA Approved portion of the Flight Manual, except the Airplane Flight Manual
Supplements. When a FAA Approved Revision is made, a new FAA Log of Revisions sheet will be
issued. This must be inserted immediately ahead of all previously issued FAA Log of Revisions sheets.
All FAA Log of Revisions pages must be retained in the manual to provide a current record of revision
status. As noted at the bottom of the page, each revised portion of the pages issued will have a black
vertical bar indicating the current change. All revised pages listed in the new FAA Log of Revisions are
to be removed and replaced with the current page. The Control Page will also be changed to reflect the
current status of the FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual.

AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENTS REVISION RECORD


The Supplemental Operational Data section contains the FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual
Supplements and a Log of Revisions page. This is a listing of FAA Approved Supplemental Equipment
available for installation on the BEECHCRAFT King Air 65-A90-1 & -4.

ABBREVIATIONS AND TERMINOLOGIES


GENERAL AIRSPEED
CAS

Calibrated Airspeed is the indicated speed of an airplane corrected for position and
instrument error. Calibrated airspeed is equal to true airspeed in standard atmosphere sea
level.

KCAS

Calibrated Airspeed expressed in knots.

GS

Ground Speed is the speed of an airplane relative to the ground.

IAS

Indicated Airspeed is the speed of an airplane as shown on the airspeed indicator when
corrected for instrument error.

KIAS

Indicated Airspeed expressed in knots.

TAS

True Airspeed is the airspeed of an airplane relative to undisturbed air which is the CAS
corrected for altitude, temperature and compressibility.

VA

Maneuvering Speed is the maximum speed at which application of full available


aerodynamic control will not overstress the airplane.

VF

Design Flap Speed is the highest speed permissible at which wing flaps may be actuated.

VFE

Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed permissible with wing flaps in a
prescribed extended position.

VLE

Maximum Landing Gear Extended Speed is the maximum speed permissible with the
landing gear extended.

VLO

Maximum Landing Gear Operating Speed is the maximum speed at which the landing
gear can be extended or retracted.

VMCA

The Air Minimum Control Speed is the minimum flight speed at which the airplane is
directionally controllable as determined in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations.

VSSE

The Safe One-Engine Inoperative Speed is a speed above both VMCA and stall speed
selected to provide a reasonable margin of lateral and directional control when one
engine is suddenly rendered inoperative. Intentional failing of one engine below this
speed is not recommended.

VS

Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable.

Power Lever (Gas


Generator N1
RPM)

This lever serves to modulate engine power from full reverse thrust to take-off.
The position for idle represents the lowest recommended level of power for
flight operation.

Propeller Control
Lever N2 RPM)

This lever requests the control to maintain rpm at a selected value and, in the
maximum decrease rpm position, feathers the propeller.

Propeller Governor

This governor will maintain the selected speed requested by the propeller
control lever, except on reverse selection where the power lever interconnection
to the integral pneumatic area of the governor will select a lower speed. The
pneumatic area during normal selection will act as an overspeed limiter.

Torquemeter

The torquemeter system determines the shaft output torque. Torque values are
obtained by tapping into two outlets on the reduction gear case and recording the
differential pressure from the outlets. The relationship between torquemeter
pressure and propeller shaft power is shown in LIMITATIONS Section III.

SECTION II
SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS
PROPULSION SYSTEM
ENGINE
The PT6A-20 is a reverse-flow, free-turbine engine.
Air enters through an intake screen and passes into a
three-stage axial and a single-stage centrifugal
compressor driven by a single-stage reaction turbine.
Another single-stage reaction turbine counterrotating with the first, drives the propeller through a
two-stage reduction gear. Fuel is sprayed into the
annular combustion chamber by fourteen individual
removable fuel nozzles mounted around the gas
generator case. A low voltage ignition unit and coil
igniter plugs are used to start combustion. A
hydropneumatic fuel control schedules fuel flow to
maintain the power set by the gas generator Power
Lever. The accessory section and integral oil tank are
located on the aft end of the gas generator.

IGNITION
The Starter-Ignition switch for each engine has three
positions. In the IGNITION AND ENGINE START
position, power is supplied to the ignition and starter
systems, and a light on the annunciator panel

illuminates, showing ignition operation. When not in


use, the switch is returned to the STOP position. In
the spring-loaded STARTER ONLY position, power
is supplied to the starter only, for the purpose of
motoring the gas generator.

AUTO-IGNITION
The auto-ignition system serves as a sentinel to
prevent an engine loss due to combustion failure. The
auto-ignition system must be ARMED for icing
flights, flights at night above 14,000 feet, and at or
below 5oC in visible moisture. The system is placed
in operation by moving the auto-ignition switches,
located on the pilots left subpanel, to the ARMED
position. Two (green) ARMED lights, located
immediately below the switches, will illuminate
when the engine torque is above 425 ft. lbs. and will
remain illuminated during flight. If for any reason the
engine torque falls below 400 ft. lbs., the igniter will
automatically energize and the IGNITION ON light
on the annunciator panel will illuminate.
Simultaneously, the respective green ARM light will
extinguish, giving a dual indication that the ignition
system is functioning.

65-A90-1 & -4 Pilots Operating Manual 10,200 LBS


P/N FM-1002

2-3

Lever can select N1 rpm from approximately 70%


up to take-off power.

FUEL CONTROL
The fuel control system consists of a single,
engine-driven, sandwich-type pump, a fuel control
unit, and a common fuel manifold fourteen fuel
nozzles. Gas generator and power turbine
governors, working in conjunction with a
temperature compensation unit, supply continuous
information to the fuel control unit. An automatic
fuel dump valve and two drain valves are provided
to ensure drainage of residual fuel after engine
shutdown.
An electric heating element around the P-3 line
going to the fuel control is turned on by switches
on the pilots sub-panel labeled Fuel Control
Heat. These are operated any time the engine is
running to keep moisture out of the P-3 line.

PROPULSION SYSTEM CONTROLS


The propulsion system is operated by three sets of
controls: Power Levers, Propeller Levers, and
Condition Levers. The Power Levers and
Condition Levers work in conjunction with the
fuel control unit on the engine accessory case to
control engine power. The Propeller Levers are
operated conventionally, and control constantspeed propellers through the primary governor.
The Power Levers provide control of engine
power from idle through take-off power. This is
accomplished by operating the N1 speed governor
in the fuel control unit. Increasing N1 rpm results
in increased engine power.
Each Propeller Lever operates a speeder spring
inside the primary governor to reposition the pilot
valve, which results in an increase or decrease of
propeller rpm. For propeller feathering, each
Propeller Lever manually lifts the pilot valve to a
position that causes a complete dumping of high
pressure oil. Detents at the rear lever travel
prevent inadvertent movement into the feathering
range. Normal operating range is 1800 through
2200 rpm.
The Condition Lever has three positions: CUTOFF, LOW IDLE, and HIGH IDLE. This lever
controls the idle cut-off function of the fuel
control unit and resets the Power Lever idle stop to
provide 50% minimum N1 rpm in the LOW IDLE
position and 70% minimum N1 rpm in the HIGH
IDLE position.

PROPELLER REVERSING
When the power levers are lifted over the IDLE
detent, they override the secondary low pitch stops
and control engine power through the Beta and
Reverse range.
CAUTION
Propeller reversing on unimproved surfaces
should be accomplished carefully to
prevent propeller erosion from reversed
airflow and, in dusty conditions, to prevent
obscuring the operators vision.
Condition levers, when set at HI IDLE, keep the
engines operating at 70% minimum idle speed for
optimum reversing performance. Power levers
should not be moved into the reversing position
when the engines are not running.
.

ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION
Engine instruments are located in the center of the
instrument panel. They are: ITT gages, Torque
Indicators, Propeller PRM (N2), Gas Generator
Tachometers (N1), Fuel Flow Gages, Oil Pressure
& Oil Temperature Indicators.
The I.T.T. (Interstage Turbine Temperature) gages
give an instantaneous and accurate reading of
engine temperature at the T5 location. This
location actually corresponds to an area in the duct
between the power and compressor drive turbines.
The temperature reading on this instrument
reflects the temperature of the gases coming in
contact with the turbine wheels.
The torquemeters give an indication of the power
being applied to the propeller. Proper observation
and interpretation of these gages provides an
accurate indication of engine performance
condition.
The propeller tachometer is read directly in
revolutions per minute. The N1 or gas generator
tachometer is read in percent of rpm, based on a
figure of 37,500 rpm at 100%. Maximum gas
generator speed is limited to 38,100 rpm or
101.5% N1.

With the Condition Lever at LOW IDLE, the


Power Lever can select N1 rpm from idle to takeoff power. In the HIGH IDLE position, the Power

ANNUNCIATOR SYSTEM
Two annunciator panels are installed. One is a
WARNING panel with red fault identification
lights, and the other is a CAUTION panel with
amber and green identification lights. The
WARNING panel is mounted in the center of the
glare shield above the instrument panel and the
CAUTION panel is located in the top center of the
instrument panel. Illumination of a red warning
light signifies the existence of a hazardous
condition requiring immediate corrective action.
An amber caution light signifies a condition other
than hazardous requiring pilot attention. In frontal
view both panels present rows of small opaque
rectangular indicator lights. The words on each
indicator identify the monitored function,
situation, or fault condition but cannot be read
until the light is illuminated.

ENGINE LUBRICATION
The lubrication system capacity per engine is 3.5
gallons of which 1.5 gallons are usable. The oil
level is indicated by a dipstick attached to the oil
filler cap. Recommended oils are listed in Section
X, SERVICING.
Engine oil, contained in an integral tank between
the engine air intake and the accessory case, cools,
as well as lubricates the engine. A non-congealing
external oil radiator keeps the engine oil
temperature within the operating limits. Part of the
engine oil operates the propeller and the engine
torquemeter system.

MAGNETIC CHIP DETECTOR


A magnetic chip detector is installed in the nose
gearbox drain plug of each engine. When ferrous
oil contamination is detected, an amber
annunciator light illuminates to alert the pilot to
the condition, which indicates rapid engine
deterioration and the probability of imminent
power loss.

ENGINE ICE PROTECTION


An oil to fuel heat exchanger, located on the
engine accessory case, operates continuously and
automatically to heat the fuel sufficiently to
prevent freezing of any water in the fuel. Each fuel
controls pneumatic line is protected against ice by
electrically heated jackets. Two switches on the
lower right of the pilots subpanel, placarded
LEFT and RIGHT FUEL CONTROL HEAT,
control the systems separately. Fuel Control Heat
should always be turned ON after the engines are
started. The engine air inlet lip boots are
electrically heated to prevent the formation of ice
and consequent distortion of inlet air flow. The
boots are operated by two switches on the left
center subpanel, placarded: LEFT and RIGHT
ENG. LIP BOOT, and will not operate on the
ground since they are powered through the landing
gear squat switch.

INERTIAL SEPARATORS
An inertial separation system is built into each
engine air inlet to prevent moisture particles under
freezing conditions from entering the engine inlet
plenum. This is done by introducing a sudden turn
in the airstream to the engine, causing the moisture
particles to continue on undeflected because of
their greater momentum and to be discharged
overboard.
During nrmal operation, a moveable vane is raised
out of the direct ram airstream. For cold weather
(+5C or below) operation in visible moisture, it
should be lowered into the airstream. The anti-ice
vanes are operated by individual T-handle pushpull controls, located below the left-hand
subpanel. Vane position during operation is
indicated by the position of the T-handles and by a
slight decrease in torque with the Engine Ice
Protection Controls extended. The vanes should
be either fully retracted or fully extended. There
are no intermediate positions.

PROPELLERS (REVERSING)
PROPELLER CONTROLS
Conventional Propeller Levers control the
standard propeller installation. Full forward lever
travel gives low pitch high rpm, and full aft
travel (into the detent) moves the propeller blades
through high pitch low rpm into the feathered
position.

PROPELLERS
This installation includes constant speed, full
feathering, reversing propellers controlled by
engine oil through single-acting, engine-driven
propeller governors. Centrifugal counterweights,
assisted by a feathering spring, move the blades
toward the low rpm (high pitch) position and into
the feathered position. Oil pressure moves the
propeller to the high rpm (low pitch) hydraulic
stop and reverse positions. The propellers have no
low rpm (high pitch) stops; this allows the
propellers to feather after engine shutdown.
Low pitch propeller position is determined by a
mechanically
monitored
hydraulic
stop,
corresponding to the fixed low pitch mechanical
stop used with non-reversing propellers. This stop
must be hydraulic rather than mechanical to allow
the blades to rotate beyond low pitch position into
reverse. Beta and reverse blade angles are
provided by adjusting the low pitch stop,
controlled by the Power Levers in the reverse
range. A back-up system referred to as the
Secondary Low Pitch Stop, protects against
propeller reversing in the event of failure of the
normal low pitch stop.

PROPELLER GOVERNORS
Three governors, one primary and two back-up,
control the propeller rpm. The primary governor,
mounted on top of the gear reduction housing,
controls the propeller through its entire range. The
Propeller Lever operates the propeller by means of
this governor. If the primary governor should
malfunction and request more than 2200 rpm, an
overspeed governor cuts in at 2288 rpm and
dumps oil from the propeller to keep the rpm from
exceeding approximately 2288. A solenoid,
actuated by the PROP GOV TEST switch, is
provided for resetting the overspeed governor to
approximately 1900 to 2100 rpm for test purposes.

2-8

If the propeller should stick or move too slowly


during a transient condition, the propeller
governor might not act in time to prevent an
overspeed condition. To provide for this
contingency, the power turbine governor acts as a
fuel topping governor. When the propeller rpm
reaches 2332, the fuel topping governor limits the
fuel flow into the engine, reducing N1 rpm and in
turn preventing the propeller rpm from exceeding
approximately 2332. During operation in the
reverse range, the fuel topping governor is reset to
provide a maximum of 2040, to prevent
overspeeding in this mode of operation.

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY LOW


PITCH STOPS
Low pitch propeller position is determined by the
Primary Low Pitch Stop which is a mechanically
monitored hydraulic stop. This mechanism, being
hydraulic, allows the blades to rotate beyond the
low pitch position into reverse when selected.
Beta and reverse blade angles are provided by
adjusting the low pitch stop, controlled by the
Power Levers in the reverse range. A back-up
system, referred to as the Secondary Low Pitch
Stop, protects against propeller reversing in the
event of malfunction of the primary low pitch
stop.
The activation of this system also
illuminates the amber light on the annunciator
panel placarded SECONDARY LOW PITCH
STOP. This indicates that the propeller has gone
beyond the Primary Low Pitch Stop and the
Secondary Low Pitch Stop has stopped it.

AUTOFEATHER SYSTEM
The automatic feathering system provides a means
of immediately dumping oil from the propeller
governor to enable the feathering spring to start
the feathering action of the blades. Although the
system is ARMED by a switch on the sub-panel,
the complete arming of the system occurs when
both Power Levers are advanced above the 90%
N1 position . The system is designed for use
during take-off and landing. During take-off,
should torquemeter oil pressure on either engine
drop below a prescribed setting, the oil is dumped
from the governor, the feathering spring starts the
blades toward feather and the autofeather system
of the other engine is disarmed. The disarming of
the operating engines propeller system is further
indicated when the armed light of that engine goes
out.

The autofeather system may be checked as


follows:
1.

2.

3.

Move the autofeather arm switch to the TEST


position with the power levers set at idle.
Check that the propellers remain unfeathered
and that the AUTOFEATHER ARM lights
remain out.
With the switch still in the TEST position and
the engine controls set to obtain 500 ft. lbs. of
torque, both AUTOFEATHER ARM lights
should illuminate.
Slowly retard the left engine power lever and
check that the right AUTOFEATHER ARM
light extinguishes at approximately 400 ft. lbs.
of torque. Continue retarding the left engine
power lever and check that both the left and
right AUTOFEATHER ARM lights are
extinguished and that left engine propeller
starts to feather at approximately 200 ft. lbs.
of torque.
NOTE
As the propeller blades rotate toward
feather, the torque load will increase
above switch setting and the system will
cycle during ground test giving a
flashing indication on the Armed lights.

4.
5.

Repeat the preceding check with the right


engine.
Return the autofeather arm switch to the ARM
position.

FUEL SYSTEM
The engine fuel supply system consists of two
identical systems sharing a common fuel
management panel and fuel crossfeed manifold.
Each fuel system consists of four interconnected
wing tanks, a nacelle tank, an engine-driven boost
pump mounted on each engine, an auxiliary fuel
pump located within the nacelle tank, a fuel
transfer pump located within the inboard wing
tank, a fuel heater (engine oil-to-fuel heat
exchanger unit), a tank vent system, a tank vent
heating system and interconnecting wiring and
plumbing.

ENGINE DRIVEN BOOST PUMPS


A gear-driven boost pump, mounted on each
engine supplies fuel under pressure to the inlet of
the engine-driven primary high-pressure pump.

Original: February 24, 1999

Either the engine-driven boost pump or auxiliary


fuel pump is capable of supplying sufficient
pressure to the engine-driven primary highpressure pump and thus maintain normal engine
operation.
CAUTION
Engine operation using only the enginedriven primary (high-pressure) fuel pump
without auxiliary fuel pump or enginedriven boost pump fuel pressure is limited
to 10 cumulative hours. This condition is
indicated by either R or L FUEL FAIL
lights.

ELECTRIC AUXILIARY FUEL PUMPS


A submerged, electrically-operated auxiliary fuel
pump, located within each nacelle tank, serves as a
backup unit for the engine-driven boost pump. The
auxiliary pumps are switched off during normal
system operations, except for takeoff, landing or
crossfeed. An auxiliary fuel pump must be
operated during crossfeed to pump fuel from one
system to the other engine.

FUEL MANAGEMENT PANEL


The fuel management panel is located on the
cockpit sidewall, of the left side of the pilot. It
contains the fuel gages, fuel quantity switch,
auxiliary fuel pump switches, transfer pump
switches, transfer test switch, crossfeed valve
switch, firewall shutoff valve switches, and nine
circuit breakers protecting the fuel system.
Two switches, placarded AUX PUMP ON and
OFF, located on the fuel management panel
control a submerged fuel pump located in the
corresponding nacelle tank. During normal aircraft
operation both switches are OFF (except during
takeoff, landing or crossfeed) so long as the
engine-driven boost pumps function. The loss of
fuel pressure, due to failure of an engine driven
boost pump will initiate two flashing MASTER
CAUTION lights on the instrument panel and will
illuminate the amber L FUEL FAIL or R FUEL
FAIL on the caution annunciator panel. Turning
ON the AUX FUEL PUMP will extinguish the
FUEL FAIL lights.
The MASTER CAUTION lights must be manually
turned off.

tank. As the engine burns fuel from the main tank,
fuel from the wing tanks transfers automatically into
the main tank each time its level drops approximately
ten gallons. If either transfer pump fails to operate
when switched ON and triggered to function by its
quantity sensor, the fault condition is indicated by
flashing MASTER CAUTION lights on the

If the transfer pump fails to operate during flight,


gravity feed will take over its work. When the main
tank level drops to approximately 3/8 full, the gravity
feed port in the main tank opens and gravity flow
from the wing tank starts. All wing fuel except 28
gallons from each wing will transfer during gravity
feed. Whenever the left main tank supply drops to
10 gallons or less, fuel flow to the combustion heater
shuts off.

Two guarded switches, placarded FIREWALL


SHUTOFF VALVE on the fuel management panel,
are provided to give the pilot electrical fuel shutoff
capability at each engine firewall. Each switch is a
two-position unit controlling the corresponding
firewall shutoff valve. OPEN position opens the
firewall shutoff valve admitting fuel to the engine. In
the CLOSED position fuel flow to the affected
engine is cut off, thereby isolating the fuel supply
from the engine, although the isolated fuel may be
supplied to the opposite engine by crossfeed. A
hinged red-colored metal guard engages each firewall
valve switch toggle when the switch is in the OPEN
position. This guard prevents inadvertent movement
of the switch to the CLOSED position. The guard
must be manually disengaged from the switch toggle
to move the switch to the CLOSED position.

FUEL CROSSFEED
The fuel crossfeed valve is controlled by a twoposition switch located on the fuel management
panel, placarded OPEN, and CLOSED. Under
normal flight conditions, the switch is left in the
CLOSED position. Crossfeed operation is indicated
by the illumination of the amber FUEL
CROSSFEED indicator light on the caution
annunciator panel when the switch is placed in the
OPEN position.
Illumination of the amber FUEL CROSS-FEED
indicator light on the caution annunciator panel
indicates that the electrically operated crossfeed
valve is open.

FUEL GAUGING SYSTEM


The total fuel quantity in the left or right system or
left or right nacelle tank is measured by a capacitance
type fuel gauging system. Two fuel gauges, one for
left and one for the right fuel system, read fuel
quantity in pounds.
A switch on the Fuel Management Panel placard
FUEL QUANTITY, TOTAL, NACELLE, controls
the fuel gauging system. When in the TOTAL
position the fuel gauges read the total fuel quantity in
the left and right fuel system. When in the
NACELLE position the fuel gauges read the fuel
quantity in the left and right Nacelle tanks only.

FUEL DRAINS
The fuel system tanks and interconnecting lines may
be drained of moisture condensate and sediment by
means of 10 drains located at the system low points
on the nacelle tanks, wing tanks and at the inertial
separator air bypass duct.

FUEL VENTS
The system is vented through a recessed ram scoop
vent, coupled to a heated extended vent, located on
the underside of the wing adjacent to the nacelle.
The external vent is heated to prevent icing. The ram
scoop acts as a backup vent should the heated vent
become blocked. A third vent is located adjacent to
the wing tie down.
All three vents are
interconnected. The nacelle tanks have an additional
independent vent coming from the filler neck to vent
the system in the event the normal vent system would
become plugged.

THERMAL EXPANSION
Volume expansion in the fuel system is relieved by a
thermal pressure relief valve. Normally, thermal
expansion occurs only during hot weather while the
aircraft is static on the ground.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This aircraft employs both direct current (DC) and
alternating current (AC) electrical power. The DC
electrical supply forms the basic power system
energizing most aircraft circuits. Electrical power is
used to start the engines, to power the landing gear
and flap motors, and to operate the transfer and
auxiliary fuel pumps, heater blower, ventilation
blower, lights and electronic equipment. AC power is
obtained from DC power through inverters. The three
sources of DC power consist of one 24-volt battery
and two 250-ampere starter-generators. DC power
may be applied to the aircraft through an external
power receptacle on the right nacelle. The startergenerators are controlled by generator controls units
which provide voltage regulation, generator
paralleling, reverse current control, over volt
protection, and ground fault protection. When a
generator is not operating, reverse current protection
is automatically provided. The output of each
generator is connected to its respective generator bus
(see Electrical System Diagram). The generator buses
are tied together and to a battery bus through 325
ampere current limiters (fuses). These limiters protect
each generator and the battery from a short circuit on
the other generator bus. Since such a short would
preclude returning the bus to service, no provisions
are made for replacing the limiters in flight.
However, the system is designed so that most loads
can be supplied from the remaining main bus. The
condition of the limiters can be checked by observing
operation of the inverters with the battery switch on
and generators off. If both inverters operate, both
current limiters are good.
Each main bus supplies two subpanel buses, and an
avionics bus through 50-ampere feeder circuit
breakers and isolation diodes, thus, these buses can
be powered by either generator. The number one
feeder breakers also supply power for two fuel panel
buses through individual isolation diodes. In addition
to supplying the subpanel buses, each generator bus
directly feeds a number of large loads. The division
of the loads can be seen on the accompanying
diagram. Among these loads are the number 1 and 2
inverters. The selector switch and its relay circuitry
activates one or the other inverter and connects it to
the 115 volt and 26 volt, 400 cps,alternating current
(AC) loads. The AC loads are divided into engine
instrument and avionics as needed.

One Nickel-Cadmium battery (standard) or one


Lead-Acid battery (optional, installation as per STC
#1017SO) furnishes DC power when the engines are
not operating. This is a 24-volt battery located in the
right wing center section and accessible through a
panel on the top of the wing. DC power is produced
by two engine-driven 28-volt, 250 ampere starter
generators. Controls and indicators associated with
the DC supply system are located on the left subpanel
and consists of a single battery switch, two generator
switches, a single MASTER SWITCH and two voltloadmeters.
A switch, placarded BAT is located on the left
subpanel under the MASTER SWITCH. The BAT
switch controls DC power to the aircraft bus system
through the battery relay. Isolation diodes permit the
battery relay to be energized by external power or
generators in the event that the battery charge is
insufficient to activate the relay. When the MASTER
SWITCH is placed down, the BAT switch is forced
OFF.
Two switches placarded GEN 1 and GEN 2 are
located on the left subpanel under the MASTER
SWITCH. The toggle switches control electrical
power from the designated generator to paralleling
circuits and the bus distribution system. Switch
positions RESET, ON and OFF are placarded on the
MASTER SWITCH. RESET is up (spring-loaded
back to ON), ON is center, and OFF is down. When
a generator is removed from the aircraft electrical
system, due either to an electrical fault or from
placing the GEN switch in the OFF position, the
affected unit cannot have its output restored to
aircraft use until the GEN switch is moved to
RESET, then ON.
All electrical current may be shut off using the
MASTER SWITCH bar that extends above the
battery and generator switches. The MASTER
SWITCH bar is raised when a battery or generator
switch is turned on. Placed down, the bar forces each
switch to the OFF position.
Volt-load meters are located to the left of the pilots
control wheel. The meters normally indicate DC
generator load in terms of a fraction of the maximum
rated load. Thus, full scale is 1.0 (or 100%) load.
When a spring-loaded push button switch is
depressed, the meter reads main bus voltage.
The Battery Charge Current Detector consists of a
circuit which illuminates an amber light on the
annunicator panel whenever the battery charge
current is above normal (7-amperes for 6 seconds or

longer). The system is designed to continuously


monitor battery condition.
The purpose of the Battery Charge Current Detector
is to inform the pilot of battery charge currents which
may damage the battery if it is allowed to continue
too long. The system senses all battery current and
provides a visual indication of above normal charge
current. This system is required to be installed and
functional when the Nickel-Cadmium battery is
installed and is optional when the Lead-Acid battery
is installed. Following a battery engine start, the
battery recharge current is very high and causes the
illumination of the BATTERY CHARGE light, thus
providing an automatic self test of the detector and
the battery. As the battery approaches a full charge
and the charge current decreases to a satisfactory
amount, the light will extinguish. This will normally
occur within a few minutes (5 minutes or less) after
an engine start, but may require a longer time, if the
battery has a low state of charge, low charge voltage
per cell, or low battery temperature. With the
optional lead acid battery installed the recharge time
may extend to 15 minutes.
The light may occasionally reappear for short
intervals when heavy loads switch on, or engine
speeds are varied near generator cut-in speed. High
battery temperature or high charge voltage per cell
will result in a high overcharge current which will
eventually damage the battery and lead to thermal
runaway. Illumination of the BATTERY CHARGE
light in flight alerts the pilot that conditions may exist
that may eventually damage the battery. The battery
should be turned off to prevent battery damage.
Two annunciator panel fault lights inform the pilot
when either generator is not delivering current to the
aircraft DC bus system. These lights are placarded L
GEN OUT and R GEN OUT. Flashing MASTER
WARNING lights and illumination of either fault
light indicates that either the identified generator has
failed or voltage is insufficient to keep it connected
to the power distribution system.
An external power receptacle and polarity protection
circuitry are included. A relay in the external power
circuit will close only if the external source polarity is
correct. The battery switch should be ON when
maintainingexternal power in order to absorb voltage
transients. Otherwise, the transients might damage the
many solid state components in the airplane. For
starting, external power sources capable of up to 1000
amperes may be used; greater capacity might damage
the starter. A generator/GPU anti-parelling relay does
not allow either generator to come on line while power
is being provided by the GPU. A Generator/GPU anti-

2-16

parelling switch (Guarded ON) is provided in the right


wheel well so that when a battery cart only is used to
do multiple starts during maintenance, the aircraft
generator can be used to recharge the battery cart. This
switch should normally be left in the ON, guarded
position.

INVERTER SYSTEM
AC power for the aircraft is supplied by two singlephase solid state inverters, rated at 750 volt-amperes
each. Selection of these inverters is accomplished by
inverters selector switches on the pilots subpanel.
Two flashing MASTER CAUTION lights and the
illumination of an annunciator caution light AC
FAIL, indicate an inverter failure.

AIRCRAFT
FLIGHT CONTROLS
Conventional dual controls are provided, and nose
steering is accomplished by use of the individually
adjustable rudder pedals.
Trim tabs on the rudder, elevator and left aileron are
adjustable from the center pedestal through closed
circuit cable systems which drive jackscrew-type
actuators. Position indicators for each of the trim tabs
are integrated with their respective controls. The
elevator trim tab incorporates an anti-servo
mechanism that moves the tab opposite to the
direction of movement of the elevator. This is to
lighten the control forces.

FLAPS
Flap operation is controlled by a three-position
switch. A side-loaded detent permits APPROACH
position (35%) to be selected on extension, and
serves as an OFF position of angles between
APPROACH and DOWN (100%). Flap position in
percent of travel is shown on an electric indicator at

placarded DN LCK REL. The right safety switch also
disables the Lip-Boots when the aircraft is on the
ground. The left safety switch turns the heater ground
blower off when the aircraft is airborn.
Visual indication of landing gear position is provided
by individual, green, press-to-test GEAR DOWN
indicator lights for each landing gear.

LANDING GEAR
The landing gear is retracted and extended by a 28volt split field motor, which is located on the forward
side of the main center section spar. To prevent overtravel of the gear, the motor also acts as a dynamic
brake. Cross-shafts drive the main gear and doublerow chains drive the nose gear through conventional
jack-screw actuators. Spring-loaded friction clutches
between the gearbox and the torque shafts protect the
system in the event of mechanical malfunction and a
50-ampere, push-to-reset circuit breaker beside the
pilots seat protects the system from electrical overloads. The landing gear incorporates air-oil type
shock struts, filled with both compressed air and
hydraulic fluid. Direct linkage from the rudder pedals
turns the nose wheel 14o to the left of center and 10o
to the right. When the rudder control is augmented by
the brake, the nose wheel can be deflected up to 48o
to either side of center. As the nose wheel retracts, it
is automatically centered and the steering linkage
becomes inoperative.

Two red, GEAR UNLOCKED, parallel-wired lights


are located in the control handle and may be checked
by pressing the HDL LT TEST button to the right of
the control handle. These lights illuminate to show
that the gear is in transit or unlocked, but they also
illuminate when the landing gear warning horn is
actuated.
When either or both Power Levers are retarded below
approximately 80% N1 the warning horn will sound
intermittently and the landing gear control handle
will illuminate. During operations with power
retarded, the horn can be deactivated as long as the
flaps are UP, by pressing the WARN HORN
SILENCE button. The horn will remain silent until
either the flaps are lowered or the Power Levers are
advanced, then retarded again.

BRAKE SYSTEM
The multiple disc hydraulic brakes on the main gear
use nine pressure pistons per brake which respond to
fluid pressure from the master cylinders. Toe
pressure on either set of rudder pedals actuates the
system. Dual parking brake valves are located
between the master cylinders and the brakes. After
the pilots brake pedals have been depressed to build
up pressure in the brake lines, both valves can be
closed simultaneously by pulling out the parking
brake handle on the left subpanel. This closes the
valve to retain the pressure that was previously
pumped into the brake lines. To facilitate releasing
the parking brake, depress the brake pedals to
equalize pressure on both sides of the valve, then
push in the parking brake control handle.

COCKPIT LIGHTING

A safety switch on the right main strut opens the


control circuit when the strut is compressed. The
safety switch also actuates a solenoid-operated
downlock hook, which prevents the landing gear
handle from being raised when the plane is on the
ground. The hook automatically unlocks when the
plane leaves the ground, but can be manually

PITOT AND STATIC SYSTEM


The pitot and static system supplies static
pressure to two airspeed indicators, two
altimeters, two vertical velocity indicators, an
auto-pilot air data computer, and ram air to the
airspeed indicators. This system consists of a
single pitot tube attached to the underside of the
left wing leading edge, static air pressure ports in
the aircrafts exterior skin on each side of the aft
fuselage, and associated system plumbing. The
Pitot head is protected from ice formation by
internal electric heating elements.

WARNING
Do not operate more than 15 minutes
on the ground.
A valve control lever at the upper right corner of
the instrument panel permits the selection of an
alternate static air pressure source. It is placarded
EMERGENCY STATIC AIR SOURCE,
position (NORMAL). The normal operating
position (NORMAL) supplies static air pressure
from the external pressure ports on the aft
fuselage. When required, static pressure may be
obtained from the alternate source by releasing
the lever guard spring and repositioning the lever
to the ALTERNATE position.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
The flight instruments are arranged on the
floating instrument panel in a standard T
grouping. Complete pilot and co-pilot flight
instrumentation is installed, including dual
Horizontal Situation Indicators (HSI), and dual
RMI indicators. A Flight Director Indicator (ADI)
is installed on the pilots side, and a Vacuum
Artificial Horizon on the co-pilots side. One
electric turn & bank indicator is installed on the
pilots side and one vacuum turn and bank
indicator is installed on the co-pilots side.

STALL WARNING
Approach to a stall is indicated by a steady tone
of a warning horn located behind the right
subpanel.

A small metal vane located on the left wing


leading edge, is moved by a change in airflow
over the leading edge of the wing. Movement of
the vane as the aircraft approaches a stall
condition actuates a switch that completes a DC
electrical circuit to the stall warning horn. Since
the vane is affected by the same aerodynamic
forces that result in the stall, the system
functions regardless of the type of stall or
configuration of landing gear and wing flaps, the
only variation in performance being the margin
of airspeed at which the warning occurs. To
prevent ice formations on the stall warning vane
an electrically operated heating element is
installed.

BLEED AIR AND VACUUM


SYSTEMS
High pressure engine compressor bleed air,
regulated at 16 psi, supplies the pressure used to
operate the vacuum system ejector and the
surface de-icer boots. One engine can supply
enough bleed air for all these systems. Check
valves, in both the bleed air lines and the
pressure regulator, prevent back flow through
the system during single engine operation. The

airplanes vacuum supply comes from the bleed


air operated venturi type pressure/vacuum
ejector. Vacuum from the ejector passes through
the suction relief valve that maintains vacuum
within the operating limits. Vacuum is then
directed to the vacuum gyro flight instruments,
and the single centrally located distributor valve
to hold the de-icer boots against the leading edge
when the boots are not in use. A suction gage on
the top of the instrument panel shows the amount
of suction in the vacuum system in inches of
mercury.

BLEED AIR AND VACUUM SYSTEM (DIAGRAM)

AIR CONDITIONING (If Installed)


The Air Conditioning System consists of two
major subassemblies, one compressor-condenser
module and one evaporator module assembly.
The system operates on the closed vapor cycle
principle using R-12 refrigerant and is
electrically driven from the aircraft's 28 VDC
electrical system. Thus, the system may be
operated in flight or on the ground using an
electrical ground power unit.
The Air
Conditioning system is designed to deliver
16,500 BTUH cooling capacity to the cabin at
outside aircraft conditions of 95F. Cabin
temperature control is normally obtained by
controlling the evaporator fan using a Hi/Lo
selector switch located on the air conditioning
control panel. The evaporator fan may be

Original: February 24, 1999

operated independently of the Air Conditioning


System to provide additional air circulation.
When operating the air conditioner on the
ground, both engines must be running at 60 %
N1 or a ground power unit must be connected to
the external power plug. This power unit must
be capable of delivering 300 amperes
continuously and 1000 amperes for 1 second.
Any mode may be operated during take-off.
Minimum engine speeds for various electrical
loads are listed in the LIMITATIONS SECTION
of the FAA Approved Flight Manual.
During single engine flight operation, you may
operate the air conditioner as desired provided
the maximum generator load of 1.0 is not
exceeded.

A third ventilation air blower, located in the nose
avionics compartment, circulates compartment
air around the flight management computer.
When the aircraft becomes airborne, a switch on
the left main landing gear strut turns the blowers
off. Part of the ram air bypasses the heater and is
ducted to the nose avionics compartment, and to
the cold air outlets in both the cockpit and cabin.
The remainder of the air is ducted into the
heater. After the air is heated, it is ducted to
three warm air outlets in the cabin, and to the
two warm air and defroster outlets in the cockpit.
The cockpits warm air outlets are just above
each set of rudder pedals. The cabin warm air
outlets are located at floor level. Stale air is

nacelle tank. The cabin heater will continue to
operate until all fuel is consumed from the left
nacelle tank.
A switch placarded HTR MAN, OFF and
AUTO, located on the right subpanel controls
heater operation. Either mode, AUTO or MAN,
will activate the combustion air blower,
ventilation blower (if the aircraft is on the
ground), and heater fuel pump, open the fuel
solenoid valve, and deliver power to the heater
fuel-line heater and igniter unit for combustion.

After this switch is placed at AUTO or MAN, if


temperature within the hot air plenum does not
reach 52o C within a time-delay period, a
CABIN HEAT OUT light will illuminate on the
annunciator panel. AUTO position of the heater
control switch activates the heating system and
couples it with a temperature-regulation circuit
which maintains the cockpit and cabin
temperature between 18o C and 29o C, as
established by the temperature control
thermostat. MAN position activates the heating
system, but cuts out the temperature-regulation
circuit allowing the heater to operate
continuously until limit switches within the hot
air plenum shut down the heater at either 107oC
or 149oC. Following normal heater shutdown, by
the heater control switch, a heater-actuated
switch sustains combustion blower operation to
purge the combustion chamber. When chamber
temperature is dropped to 52o C, the switch
opens to shut off the blower.

DEFROSTING SYSTEM
The defrosting system is an integral part of the
heating and ventilation system. The system
consists of two warm air outlets connected by
ducts to the heating system. One outlet is just
below the pilots windshield and the other is
below the copilots windshield. A push-pull
control, placarded DEFROST AIR, on the right
subpanel, manually controls airflow to the
windshield. When pulled out, defrosting air is
ducted to the windshield. As the control is
pushed in, there is a corresponding decrease in
airflow.
Normal Operation
1. VENT blower operation Check.
2. CABIN TEMP control As required.
3. CABIN AIR, VENT AIR, and DEFROST
AIR controls As required.
Cabin Heater Out, light
The light will illuminate when the heater is on
and is inoperative. (See Section IV for Normal
Procedures.)
Emergency Operation.
If the automatic temperature control should fail
to operate, the temperature (of defrost air and
cabin air) may be controlled manually by
manipulating the HTR control switch between
the OFF and MAN positions.

ICE PROTECTION SYSTEMS


SURFACE DE-ICING SYSTEM
(OPTIONAL)
Ice accumulation is removed from each outboard
wing leading edge, both horizontal stabilizers,
and the vertical stabilizer by the flexing of deicer boots which are pneumatically actuated.
Engine bleed air, from the engine compressor, is
used to supply air pressure to inflate the de-icer
boots, and to supply vacuum, through the ejector
system, for boot hold-down. A pressure
regulator protects the system from over inflation.
When

the system is not in operation, a distributor valve


applies vacuum to the boots, for boot hold-down.
When a solenoid in the distributor valve is
energized by the pneumatic de-icer timer, or
when the surface DE-ICE CYCLE switch is
positioned to MNL (manual), a servo valve
changes the inlet to the boots from vacuum to
pressure which allows the boots to inflate. When
the solenoid valve is deenergized, the airflow
through the valve is cutoff. The air then
discharges out of the boots through an integral
check valve until the pressure reaches
approximately 1 inch Hg., at which time the
boots are ported to vacuum and the remaining air
is evacuated. The boots are again held down by
vacuum.

SURFACE DE-ICE SYSTEM (DIAGRAM)

2-24

65-A90-1 & -4 Pilots Operating Manual 10,200 LBS


P/N FM-1002

Original: February 24, 1999

Either engine is capable of providing sufficient


bleed air for all requirements of the surface deicer system. Check valves in the bleed air and
vacuum lines prevent backflow through the
system during single-engine operation. Bleed air
passes through a 16 PSI regulator and then
enters the de-icer and vacuum systems. Vacuum
pressure is created by the ejector and is
proportional to pneumatic pressure supplied by
the de-icer pressure regulator valve. Regulated
pressure is indicated on a gage, placarded DEICING PRESS, located on the control pedestal.
The operation of the surface de-icer system is
controlled by a three-position switch located on
the left subpanel. This switch operates the
surface de-icer.
De-icer boots are intended to remove ice after it
has formed, rather than prevent its formation.
For the most effective deicing operation, allow at
least inch of ice on the surface boots to
accumulate before attempting ice removal. Very

thin ice may crack and cling to the boots instead


of shedding.
NOTE
Never cycle the system rapidly, since this
may cause the ice to accumulate outside
the contour of the inflated boots and
prevent ice removal.
Normal operation of the surface de-ice system is
accomplished by use of a three-position switch
located on the left subpanel, placarded DE-ICE
CYCLE SGL, and MNL. When either the DEICE switch is moved to the SGL position, the deicer boots automatically inflate for seven to eight
seconds, then deflate and return to the vacuum
hold-down position. When switched to the MNL
position, all boots inflate and stay inflated while
the switch is held in this mode. When released
from the manual position, the boots deflate and
the toggle returns to the center OFF position.
The manual position is for use in case of timer
failure. In either switch position, the boots
cannot be over-inflated.

ELECTRIC PROPELLER DE-ICE SYSTEM (DIAGRAM)

PROPELLER ELECTROTHERMAL DEICER SYSTEM


Electrothermal de-icer boots are cemented to each
propeller blade to prevent ice formation or to
remove ice from the propellers. Each thermal boot
consists of one outboard and one inboard heating
element, and receives electrical power from the
de-icer timer. This timer sends current to all
propeller thermal boots and prevents the de-icer
from overheating by limiting the time each
element is energized. Four intervals of
approximately 30 seconds each complete one
Original: February 24, 1999

cycle. Current consumption is monitored by a


PROP DE-ICER AMPS ammeter on the left
subpanel.
Operation of the propeller deicing system is
controlled by the
propeller
heat switch,
placarded PROP which controls two inboard and
outboard heating elements in each propeller boot.
When ice formation becomes visible on the
aircraft, or when ice is expected, place this switch
in the HEAT position. The timer will then

65-A90-1 & -4 Pilots Operating Manual 10,200 LBS


P/N FM-1002

2-25

cycle power to the heating elements. The timer


successively delivers current to the outer heaters
on one propeller, the inner heaters on the same
propeller, the outer heaters on the opposite
propeller and the inner heaters on the same
propeller. The timer energizes each of these four
phases in turn for about 30 seconds, and then
repeats the cycle as long as the control switch is
on. When the timer shuts off, it advances one
cycle. Each cycle is 30 seconds in duration, which
makes a complete cycle lasting two minutes.
When the timer switches from one phase to the
next, the ammeter will register a momentary
deflection. These fluctuations inform the pilot that
the timer is switching properly.

WINDSHIELD ELECTROTHERMAL
ANTI-ICING SYSTEMS (OPTIONAL)
Both pilot and copilot windshields are provided
with an electrothermal anti-ice system. Each
windshield is part of an independent
electrothermal anti-ice system. Each system is
comprised of the windshield assembly with
heating wires sandwiched between glass panels, a
temperature sensor attached to the glass, an
electrothermal controller, a relay switch and a
control switch. Two ON-OFF switches, placarded
WINDSHIELD ANTI-ICE , PILOT COPILOT, are located on the left subpanel. Each
switch controls one electrothermal windshield
system.

FUEL SYSTEM ANTI-ICING


An oil-to-fuel heat exchanger located on each
engine accessory case operates continuously and
automatically to heat the fuel sufficiently to
prevent freezing of any water in the fuel line. One
external fuel vent on each wing serves both the
nacelle and the wing tanks. They are protected
against icing by externally attached electric heat
elements which are controlled by the 5-ampere
circuit breaker switch placarded HEAT-FUEL
VENTS-LEFT, and 7.5-ampere circuit breaker
switch placarded HEAT-FUEL VENTS-RIGHT.
CAUTION
To prevent overheat damage to electrically
heated anti-ice jackets, FUEL VENT
HEAT SWITCHES should not be turned
ON unless cooling air will soon pass over
the jackets.

PITOT AND STALL WARNING HEAT


SYSTEM
The pitot tube and the stall warning vane have
electrical heating elements to prevent icing. Each
heating element is controlled by a 5-ampere;
circuit-breaker type switch, located on the left
subpanel placarded STALL WARN HEAT and
LH PITOT, HEAT.
CAUTION
Pitot or stall warning heat should not be
used for more than 15 minutes while the
aircraft is on the ground. Overheating may
damage the heating elements.

2-26

Each electrothermal windshield is activated by


placing the corresponding WINDSHIELD ANTIICE switch to ON position. If glass temperature is
below 43o C, the electrothermal controller will
actuate a relay switch applying power to the
heating wires sandwiched within the glass. A
windshield will warm to a maximum of 43oC and
then will cycle off. A windshield will recycle ON
again when the glass temperature drops 2.5o C
below cutoff.

ENGINE AIR INLET


ELECTROTHERMAL BOOTS
The engine air inlet lip boots are electrically
heated to prevent the formation of ice and
consequent distortion of the airflow. The boots
are operated by the two 5 AMPERE CIRCUIT
BREAKER switches on the pilots subpanel
placarded: ENG LIP BOOT, LEFT-RIGHT. The
circuit is connected through the left landing gear
safety switch and is therefore operable only
during flight. The circuit is protected by two 25ampere circuit breakers, placarded LP ANTI-ICE
LH-RH, located on the copilots circuit breaker
panel. During flight, when icing conditions are
anticipated, position both ENG LIP BOOT heat
switches ON (up). Continue use as required and
shut off when icing conditions are no longer
present or anticipated.

INERTIAL SEPARATOR SYSTEM


An inertial separation system is built into each
engine air inlet to prevent moisture particles
from entering the engine inlet plenum under
freezing conditions. This is done by introducing a
sudden turn in the airstream to the engine, causing
the moisture particles to continue on undeflected
because
of
their
greater
momentum

65-A90-1 & -4 Pilots Operating Manual 10,200 LBS


P/N FM-1002

Original: February 24, 1999

and to be discharged overboard. During normal


operation, a movable vane is raised out of the
direct ram airstream. For cold weather (+5o C or
below) operation in visible moisture, it should be
lowered into the airstream. The anti-ice vanes are
operated by individual T-handle push-pull
controls located below the left subpanel. The
controls are placarded: LEFT ENG ICE VANE
PULL TO EXT, PUSH TO RET and RIGHT
ENG ICE VANE PULL TO EXT, PUSH TO
RET. Vane positions during operation are
indicated by the position of the T-handles, and by
a slight decrease in torque with the engine ice
protection controls extended. The vanes should be
either fully retracted or fully extended, there are
no intermediate positions.

ALTERNATE STATIC AIR SOURCE


A valve control lever at the upper right corner of
the instrument panel permits the selection of an
alternate static air pressure source. It is placarded
EMERGENCY STATIC AIR SOURCE, position
(NORMAL). The normal operating position
(NORMAL) supplies static air pressure from the
external pressure ports on the aft fuselage. When
required, static pressure may be obtained from the
alternate source by releasing the lever guard
spring and repositioning the lever to the
ALTERNATE position.

AUTOIGNITION SYSTEM

return to the OFF position when released after


being turned to PARK.
CAUTION
Do Not operate on dry windshield.

ENGINE FIRE DETECTION


SYSTEM
A flame surveillance system is installed on each
engine to detect external engine fire and provide
alarm to the pilot. Both nacelles are monitored,
each having a control amplifier and three infrared
detectors. Electrical wiring connects all sensors
and control amplifiers to DC power and to the
cockpit audio and visual alarm units. In each
nacelle, one detector monitors the forward
nacelle, a second monitors the upper accessory
area, and a third monitors the lower accessory
area.
1.

2.

If armed, the autoignition system automatically


provides combustion re-ignition of either engine
should accidental flameout occur. The system is
not essential to normal engine operation, but is
used to reduce the possibility of power loss due to
icing or other conditions. Each engine has a
separate autoignition control switch, a green
PRESS-TO-TEST light, and an amber indicator
light on the annunicator panel.
Two switches placarded ENG AUTOIGNITION,
Left and RIGHT, with positions ARM and OFF,
are located on the left subpanel. ARM position
initiates a readiness mode for the autoignition
system of the corresponding engine. OFF position
disarms the system.

3.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS

4.

The electric windshield wipers are controlled by a


SLOW-FAST switch on the overhead panel.
When turning off the windshield wipers, turn the
switch to either the OFF or PARK position. The
OFF position stops the blades in place while the
PARK position returns the blades to the center
post position. The switch is spring loaded to
Original: February 24, 1999

Fire emits an infrared radiation that will be


sensed by the detector that monitors the area
of origin. Radiation exposure activates the
relay circuit of a control amplifier that causes
signal power to be sent to cockpit alarms. An
activated surveillance system will return to
the standby state after the fire is out. The
system includes a functional test switch and
has circuit protection through the FIRE
DETECTOR circuit breaker.
Warning of internal nacelle fire is provided
as follows: A warning horn sounds in the
cockpit; simultaneously the red MASTER
WARNING lights on the instrument panel
start flashing. These alarms are accompanied
by the continuous illumination on the
annunciator panel of a red FIRE L ENG or
FIRE R ENG annunicator light. Fire detector
circuits are protected by a single 3-ampere
circuit breaker, placarded FIRE DETECTOR,
located on the right subpanel.
An erroneous indication of engine fire may
be encountered if an engine cowling is not
closed properly, or if the aircraft is headed
toward a strong external light source. In this
circumstance, close the cowling and/or
change the aircraft heading away from the
light source.
One rotary switch placarded TEST SWITCH
FIRE DETECTION OFF 1,2,3, on the
control pedestal, is provided to test the engine
fire detection system. Before checkout,
battery power must be on and the

65-A90-1 & -4 Pilots Operating Manual 10,200 LBS

FIRE DETECTOR circuit breaker must be


in. Switch position 1, checks the area
forward of the air intake of each nacelle,
including circuits to the cockpit alarm and
indication devices. Switch position 2, checks
the circuits for the upper accessory
compartment of each nacelle. Switch position
3, checks the circuits for the lower

accessory compartment of each nacelle. Each


numbered switch position will initiate the
cockpit alarm and indications previously
described.
NOTE
Turn switch in counter-clockwise
direction only.

At 51% (N1) minimum.
Normal oil pressure is 65-85 psig. At throttle settings above 28,000 rpm (75%) N1 oil pressures
between 40 and 65 psig are undesirable, and should be tolerated only for the completion of the flight,
preferably at reduced throttle setting. Oil pressures below normal should be reported as an engine
discrepancy, and should be corrected before next take-off. Oil pressures below 40 psig are unsafe,
and require that either the engine be shut down or a landing be made as soon as possible, using the
minimum power required to sustain flight.

TEMPERATURE LIMITS
Aircraft shall not be operated when take-off ambient temperature exceeds ISA + 37C.

MINIMUM OIL TEMPERATURE REQUIRED FOR FLIGHT


Engine oil is used to heat the fuel on entering the fuel control. Since no temperature measurement is
available for the fuel at this point, it must be assumed to be the same as the OAT. The graph below is
supplied for use as a guide in preflight planning, based on known or forecast operating conditions, to allow
the operator to become aware of operating temperatures where icing at the fuel control could occur. If the
plot should indicate that oil temperatures versus OAT are such that ice formation could occur during takeoff or in flight, anti-icing additive per MIL-I-27686 should be mixed within the fuel at refueling to insure
safe operation.

P/N FM-1022-FAA

FAA Approved
Original: February 24, 1999

CAUTION
Anti-icing additive must be properly blended with the fuel to avoid deterioration of the fuel cell.
The additive concentration by volume shall be minimum of .060% and a maximum of .15%.
Approved procedure for adding anti-icing concentrate is contained in Section IV (BLENDING
ANTI-ICING ADDITIVE TO FUEL).
JP4 fuel per MIL-T05624 has anti-icing additive per MIL-I-27686 blended in the fuel at the
refinery and no further treatment is necessary. Some fuel suppliers blend anti-icing additive in
their storage tanks. Prior to refueling, check with the fuel supplier to determine if fuel has been
blended to assure proper concentration by volume of fuel on board.

FUEL
Jet A, Jet A-1, Jet B, JP-1, JP-4, JP-5 and JP-8 conforming to PWA S.B. No. 1244R16 or later rev. or
ASTM Spec. D1644, may be mixed in any ratio.
Emergency use of Aviation Gasoline, grades 80/87, 91/96, 100LL, 100/130, and 115/145, are limited to
150 hours of use during any one engine overhaul period. Whenever Aviation Gasoline is being used above
8000 feet the AUXILIARY PUMPS must be operated.
It is not necessary to purge the unused fuel from the system when changing fuel types.
Operation with the Auxiliary Fuel Pump Fail light on is limited to 10 hours between main engine driven
fuel pump overhaul or replacement period.

FUEL CAPACITY
Total of 370 gallons usable, 114 gallons usable in two nacelle tanks of 57 gallons each and 256 gallons
usable in the remaining wing tanks.

OIL
Synthetic type conforming with PWC S.B. No. 1001R21 or later revision. (Check consumable Material,
Section X, SERVICING.)

STARTERS
Use is time limited to 40 seconds on, 60 seconds off, 40 seconds on, 60 seconds off, 40 seconds on, then 30
minutes off.

MAGNETIC CHIP DETECTOR SYSTEM


1.
2.

Upon illumination of magnetic chip detector annunciator light, affected engine must be shut down and
secured if speed and altitude permit.
Do not take off if magnetic chip detector annunciator light illuminates. Engine must be shut down.

POWER LEVERS
(ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS REQUIRED BY FAA AD 97-25-03)
Do not lift the power levers in flight. Lifting the power levers in flight, or moving the power levers in

(ADDITIONAL ICING LIMITATIONS REQUIRED BY FAA AD 98-04-24)

WARNING
Severe icing may result from environmental conditions outside of those for which the
airplane is certificated. Flight in freezing rain, freezing drizzle, or mixed icing conditions
(supercooled liquid water and ice crystals) may result in ice build-up on protected
surfaces exceeding the capability of the ice protection system, or may result in ice
forming aft of the protected surfaces. This ice may not be shed using the ice protection
systems, and may seriously degrade the performance and controllability of the airplane.
1.

During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed those for which the airplane is
certificated shall be determined by the following visual cues. If one or more of these
visual cues exists, immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic Control to
facilitate a route or an altitude change to exit the icing conditions.
a. Unusually extensive ice accumulation on the airframe and windshield in areas not
normally observed to collect ice.
b. Accumulation of ice on the upper surface of the wing, aft of the protected area.
c. Accumulation of ice on the engine nacelles and propeller spinners farther aft than
normally observed.
2. Since the autopilot, when installed and operating, may mask tactile cues that indicate
adverse changes in handling characteristics, use of the autopilot is prohibited when
any of the visual cues specified above exist, or when unusual lateral trim
requirements or autopilot trim warnings are encountered while the airplane is in icing
conditions.
3. All wing icing inspection lights must be operative prior to flight into known or
forecast icing conditions at night.
[NOTE: This supersedes any relief provided by the Master Minimum Equipment List
(MMEL).]

Preamble Information
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT
ACTION: Final rule
SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Raytheon
Aircraft Company (Raytheon) 65, 90, 99, 100, 200, 300, 1900, and 2000 series airplanes. This AD
requires amending the Limitations Section of the airplane flight manual (AFM) to prohibit lifting or
positioning the power levers below the flight idle stop while the airplane is in flight. This AFM
amendment will include a statement of consequences if the limitation is not followed. This AD results
from numerous incidents and five documented accidents involving airplanes equipped with turboprop
engines where the propeller beta was improperly utilized during flight. The actions specified by this AD
are intended to prevent nose down pitch and a descent rate leading to aircraft damage and injury to
personnel caused by the power levers being positioned below the flight idle stop or the power levers
being lifted while the airplane is in flight.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 21, 1998.
ADDRESSES: Information related to this AD may be examined at the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), Central Region, Office of the Regional Counsel, Attention: Rules Docket No. 97-CE-20-AD,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Events Leading to the Issuance of This AD
A proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an AD that
would apply to the following was published in the Federal Register as a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) on July 2, 1997 (62 FR 35704):
Raytheon Models 65-90, 65-A90, 65-A90-1, 65-A90-3, 65-A90-4, B90, C90, C90(SE), C90A, C90B,
E90, F90, H90, 99, 99A, A99, A99A, B99, C99, 100, A100, A100A, A100C, B100, 200, 200C, 200CT,
200T, A200, A200C, A200CT, B200, B200C, B200T, B200CT, 300, B300, B300C, 1900, 1900C,
1900D, and 2000 airplanes.
The NPRM proposed to require amending the Limitations Section of the AFM to prohibit lifting or
positioning the power levers below the flight idle stop while the airplane is in flight, including a
statement of consequences if the limitation is not followed. This AFM amendment shall consist of the
following language:
"Do not lift the power levers in flight. Lifting the power levers in flight or moving the power levers in
flight below the flight idle position could result in nose down pitch and a descent rate leading to aircraft
damage and injury to personnel."
The NPRM was the result of numerous incidents and five documented accidents involving airplanes
equipped with turboprop engines where the propeller beta was improperly utilized during flight.
Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate in the making of this amendment. No
comments were received on the proposed rule or the FAA's determination of the cost to the public.
The FAA's Determination
After careful review of all available information related to the subject presented above, the FAA has
determined that air safety and the public interest require the adoption of the rule as proposed except for
minor editorial corrections. The FAA has determined that these minor corrections will not change the
meaning of the AD and will not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed.
Compliance Time of This AD
The FAA has determined that the compliance time of this AD should be specified in calendar time
instead of hours time-in-service. While the condition addressed by this AD is unsafe while the airplane
is in flight, the condition is not a result of repetitive airplane operation; the potential of the unsafe
condition occurring is the same on the first flight as it is for subsequent flights. The compliance time of
"30 days after the effective date of this AD" will not inadvertently ground airplanes and would assure
that all owners/operators of the affected airplanes accomplish this AD in a reasonable time period.
Cost Impact
The FAA estimates that 3,093 airplanes in the U.S. registry will be affected by this AD, that it will take
approximately 1 workhour per airplane to incorporate the required AFM amendment, and that the
average labor rate is approximately $60 an hour. Since an owner/operator who holds at least a private
pilot's certificate can accomplish this AD, as authorized by sections 43.7 and 43.9 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.7 and 43.9), the only cost impact upon the public is the time it will
take the affected airplane owner/operators to amend the AFM or POH.
Regulatory Impact
The regulations adopted herein will not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities

Raytheon Aircraft Company 65, 90, 99, 100, 200, 300,

Page 3 of 4

among the various levels of government. Therefore, in accordance with Executive Order 12612, it is
determined that this final rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation
of a Federalism Assessment.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this action (1) is not a "significant regulatory action"
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a "significant rule" under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and (3) will not have a significant economic impact,
positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act. A copy of the final evaluation prepared for this action is contained in the Rules Docket.
A copy of it may be obtained by contacting the Rules Docket at the location provided under the caption
"ADDRESSES".
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.
Adoption of the Amendment
Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the Federal Aviation
Administration amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as follows:
PART 39 - AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 USC 106(g), 40113, 44701.
39.13 [Amended]
2. Section 39.13 is amended by adding a new airworthiness directive (AD) to read as follows:

C90B, E90, F90, H90, 99, 99A, A99, A99A, B99, C99, 100, A100, A100A, A100C, B100, 200, 200C,
200CT, 200T, A200, A200C, A200CT, B200, B200C, B200T, B200CT, 300, B300, B300C, 1900,
1900C, 1900D, and 2000 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
NOTE 1: This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless
of whether it has been modified, altered, or repaired in the area subject to the requirements of this AD.
For airplanes that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of
this AD is affected, the owner/operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance in
accordance with paragraph (e) of this AD. The request should include an assessment of the effect of the
modification, alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe
condition has not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to address it.
Compliance: Required within the next 30 days after the effective date of this AD, unless already
accomplished.
To prevent nose down pitch and a descent rate leading to aircraft damage and injury to personnel caused
by the power levers being positioned below the flight idle stop or the power levers being lifted while the
airplane is in flight, accomplish the following:

(a) Amend the Limitations Section of the airplane flight manual (AFM) by inserting the following
language:
"Do not lift the power levers in flight. Lifting the power levers in flight or moving the
power levers in flight below the flight idle position could result in nose down pitch and a
descent rate leading to aircraft damage and injury to personnel."
(b) This action may be accomplished by incorporating a copy of this AD into the Limitations Section of
the AFM.
(c) Amending the AFM, as required by this AD, may be performed by the owner/operator holding at
least a private pilot certificate as authorized by section 43.7 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR 43.7), and must be entered into the aircraft records showing compliance with this AD in
accordance with section 43.9 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.9).
(d) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to a location where the
requirements of this AD can be accomplished.
(e) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an
equivalent level of safety may be approved by the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office
(ACO), FAA, 1801 Airport Road, Wichita, Kansas. The request shall be forwarded through an
appropriate FAA Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager,
Wichita ACO.
NOTE 2: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this
AD, if any, may be obtained from the Wichita ACO.
(f) Information related to this AD may be examined at the FAA, Central Region, Office of the Regional
Counsel, Room 1558, 601 E. 12th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64106.

Preamble Information
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT
ACTION: Final rule
SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to Raytheon
Aircraft Company Models E55, E55A, 58, 58A, 58P, 58PA, 58TC, 58TCA airplanes, and 60, 65-B80,
65-B90, 90, F90, 100, 300, and B300 series airplanes. This action requires revising the FAA-approved
Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to specify procedures that would prohibit flight in severe icing
conditions (as determined by certain visual cues), limit or prohibit the use of various flight control
devices while in severe icing conditions, and provide the flight crew with recognition cues for, and
procedures for exiting from, severe icing conditions. This AD is prompted by the results of a review of
the requirements for certification of these airplanes in icing conditions, new information on the icing
environment, and icing data provided currently to the flight crew. The actions specified by this AD are
intended to minimize the potential hazards associated with operating these airplanes in severe icing
conditions by providing more clearly defined procedures and limitations associated with such conditions
DATES: Effective March 13, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Events Leading to the Issuance of This AD
A proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an AD that
would apply to Raytheon Aircraft Company Models E55, E55A, 58, 58A, 58P, 58PA, 58TC, 58TCA
Airplanes and 60, 65-B80, 65-B90, 90, F90, 100, 300, and B300 series airplanes was published in the
Federal Register on September 16, 1997 (62 FR 48517). The action proposed to require revising the
Limitations Section of the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to specify procedures that
would:
z require flight crews to immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic Control to exit severe
icing conditions (as determined by certain visual cues);
z prohibit flight in severe icing conditions (as determined by certain visual cues);
z prohibit use of the autopilot when ice is formed aft of the protected surfaces of the wing, or when an
unusual lateral trim condition exists; and
z require that all icing wing inspection lights be operative prior to flight into known or forecast icing
conditions at night.
That action also proposed to require revising the Normal Procedures Section of the FAA-approved AFM
to specify procedures that would:
z limit the use of the flaps and prohibit the use of the autopilot when ice is observed forming aft of the
protected surfaces of the wing, or if unusual lateral trim requirements or autopilot trim warnings are
encountered; and
z provide the flight crew with recognition cues for, and procedures for exiting from, severe icing
conditions.
Comments
Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate in the making of this amendment.
Due consideration has been given to the following comments received.
In addition to the proposed rule described previously, in September 1997, the FAA issued 24 other
similar proposals that address the subject unsafe condition on various airplane models (see below for a
listing of all 24 proposed rules). These 24 proposals also were published in the Federal Register on
September 16, 1997. This final rule contains the FAA's responses to all public comments received for
each of these proposed rules.

Comment 1. Unsubstantiated Unsafe Condition for This Model


One commenter suggests that the AD's were developed in response to a suspected contributing factor of
an accident involving an airplane type unrelated to the airplanes specified in the proposal. The
commenter states that these proposals do not justify that an unsafe condition exists or could develop in a
product of the same type design. Therefore, the commenter asserts that the proposal does not meet the
criteria for the issuance of an AD as specified 14 CFR part 39 (Airworthiness Directives) of the Federal
Aviation Regulations.
The FAA does not concur. As stated in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the FAA has
identified an unsafe condition associated with operating the airplane in severe icing conditions. As stated
in the preamble to the proposal, the FAA has not required that airplanes be shown to be capable of
operating safely in icing conditions outside the certification envelope specified in Appendix C of part 25
of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 25). This means that any time an airplane is flown in
icing conditions for which it is not certificated, there is a potential for an unsafe condition to exist or
develop and the flight crew must take steps to exit those conditions expeditiously. Further, the FAA has
determined that flight crews are not currently provided with adequate information necessary to
determine when an airplane is operating in icing conditions for which it is not certificated or what action
to take when such conditions are encountered. The absence of this information presents an unsafe
condition because without that information, a pilot may remain in potentially hazardous icing
conditions. This AD addresses the unsafe condition by requiring AFM revisions that provide the flight
crews with visual cues to determine when icing conditions have been encountered for which the airplane
is not certificated, and by providing procedures to safely exit those conditions.
Further, in the preamble of the proposed rule, the FAA discussed the investigation of roll control
anomalies to explain that this investigation was not a complete certification program. The testing was
designed to examine only the roll handling characteristics of the airplane in certain droplets the size of
freezing drizzle. The testing was not a certification test to approve the airplane for flight into freezing
drizzle. The results of the tests were not used to determine if this AD is necessary, but rather to
determine if design changes were needed to prevent a catastrophic roll upset. The roll control testing and
the AD are two unrelated actions.
Additionally, in the preamble of the proposed rule, the FAA acknowledged that the flight crew of any
airplane that is certificated for flight in icing conditions may not have adequate information concerning
flight in icing conditions outside the icing envelope. However, in 1996, the FAA found that the specified
unsafe condition must be addressed as a higher priority on airplanes equipped with pneumatic deicing
boots and unpowered roll control systems. These airplanes were addressed first because the flight crew
of an airplane having an unpowered roll control system must rely solely on physical strength to
counteract roll control anomalies, whereas a roll control anomaly that occurs on an airplane having a
powered roll control system need not be offset directly by the flight crew. The FAA also placed a
priority on airplanes that are used in regularly scheduled passenger service. The FAA has previously
issued AD's to address those airplanes. Since the issuance of those AD's, the FAA has determined that
similar AD's should be issued for similarly equipped airplanes that are not used in regularly scheduled
passenger service.

Comment 2. AD is Inappropriate to Address Improper Operation of the Airplane


One commenter requests that the proposed AD be withdrawn because an unsafe condition does not exist
within the airplane. Rather, the commenter asserts that the unsafe condition is the improper operation of
the airplane. The commenter further asserts that issuance of an AD is an inappropriate method to address
improper operation of the airplane.
The FAA does not concur. The FAA has determined that an unsafe condition does exist as explained in
the proposed notice and discussed previously. As specifically addressed in Amendment 39-106 of part
39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39), the responsibilities placed on the FAA statute
(49 U.S.C. 40101, formerly the Federal Aviation Act) justify allowing AD's to be issued for unsafe
conditions however and wherever found, regardless of whether the unsafe condition results from
maintenance, design defect, or any other reason.
This same commenter considers part 91 (rather than part 39) of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 91) the appropriate regulation to address the problems of icing encounters outside of the limits
for which the airplane is certificated. Therefore, the commenter requests that the FAA withdraw the
proposal.
The FAA does not concur. Service experience demonstrates that flight in icing conditions that is outside
the icing certification envelope does occur. Apart from the visual cues provided in these final rules, there
is no existing method provided to the flight crews to identify when the airplane is in a condition that
exceeds the icing certification envelope. Because this lack of awareness may create an unsafe condition,
the FAA has determined that it is appropriate to issue an AD to require a revision of the AFM to provide
this information.
One commenter asserts that while it is prudent to advise and routinely remind the pilots about the
hazards associated with flight into known or forecast icing conditions, the commenter is opposed to the
use of an AD to accomplish that function. The commenter states that pilots' initial and bi-annual flight
checks are the appropriate vehicles for advising the pilots of such hazards, and that such information
should be integrated into the training syllabus for all pilot training.
The FAA does not concur that substituting advisory material and mandatory training for issuance of an
AD is appropriate. The FAA acknowledges that, in addition to the issuance of an AD, information
specified in the revision to the AFM should be integrated into the pilot training syllabus. However, the
development and use of such advisory materials and training alone are not adequate to address the
unsafe condition. The only method of ensuring that certain information is available to the pilot is
through incorporation of the information into the Limitations Section of the AFM. The appropriate
vehicle for requiring such a revision of the AFM is issuance of an AD. No change is necessary to the
final rule.
Comment 3. Inadequate Visual Cues
One commenter provides qualified support for the AD. The commenter notes that the recent proposals
are identical to the AD's issued about a year ago. Although the commenter supports the intent of the
AD's as being appropriate and necessary, the commenter states that it is unfortunate that the flight crew
is burdened with recognizing icing conditions with visual cues that are inadequate to determine certain
icing conditions. The commenter points out that, for instance, side window icing (a very specific visual
cue) was determined to be a valid visual cue during a series of icing tanker tests on a specific airplane;
however, later testing of other models of turboprop airplanes revealed that side window icing was
invalid as a visual cue for identifying icing conditions outside the scope of Appendix C.

Raytheon Aircraft Company Models E55, E55A, 58, 58A,

Page 6 of 10

The FAA does not concur with the commenter's request to provide more specific visual cues. The FAA
finds that the value of visual cues has been substantiated during in-service experience. Additionally, the
FAA finds that the combined use of the generic cues provided and the effect of the final rules in
increasing the awareness of pilots concerning the hazard of operating outside of the certification icing
envelope will provide an acceptable level of safety. Although all of the cues may not be exhibited on a
particular model, the FAA considers that at least some of the cues will be exhibited on all of the models
affected by this AD. For example, some airplanes may not have side window cues in freezing drizzle,
but would exhibit other cues (such as accumulation of ice aft of the protected area) under those
conditions. For these reasons, the FAA considers that no changes regarding visual cues are necessary in
the final rule. However, for those operators that elect to identify airplane-specific visual cues, the FAA
would consider a request for approval of an alternative method of compliance, in accordance with the
provisions of this AD.
Comment 4. Request for Research and Use of Wing-Mounted Ice Detectors
One commenter requests that wing-mounted ice detectors, which provide real-time icing severity
information (or immediate feedback) to flight crews, continue to be researched and used throughout the
fleet. The FAA infers from this commenter's request that the commenter asks that installation of these
ice detectors be mandated by the FAA.
While the FAA supports the development of such ice detectors, the FAA does not concur that
installation of these ice detectors should be required at this time. Visual cues are adequate to provide an
acceptable level of safety; therefore, mandatory installation of ice detector systems, in this case, is not
necessary to address the unsafe condition. Nevertheless, because such systems may improve the current
level of safety, the FAA has officially tasked the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) to
develop a recommendation concerning ice detection. Once the ARAC has submitted its
recommendation, the FAA may consider further rulemaking action to require installation of such
equipment.
Comment 5. Particular Types of Icing
This same commenter also requests that additional information be included in paragraph (a) of the AD
that would specify particular types of icing or particular accretions that result from operating in freezing
precipitation. The commenter asserts that this information is of significant value to the flightcrew.
The FAA does not concur with the commenter's suggestion to specify types of icing or accretion. The
FAA has determined that supercooled large droplets (SLD) can result in rime ice, mixed (intermediate)
ice, and ice with glaze or clear appearance. Therefore, the FAA finds that no type of icing can be
excluded from consideration during operations in freezing precipitation, and considers it unnecessary to
cite those types of icing in the AD.
The FAA's Determination
After careful review of all available information related to the subject presented above, the FAA has
determined that air safety and the public interest require the adoption of the rule as proposed except for
minor editorial corrections. The FAA has determined that these minor corrections will not change the
meaning of the AD and will not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed.
Cost Impact
The FAA estimates that 2,140 airplanes in the U.S. registry will be affected by this AD, that it will take
approximately 1 workhour per airplane to accomplish this action, and that the average labor rate is
approximately $60 an hour. Since an owner/operator who holds at least a private pilot's certificate as
authorized by sections 43.7 and 43.9 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.7 and 43.9) can
accomplish this action, the only cost impact upon the public is the time it will take the affected airplane

Raytheon Aircraft Company Models E55, E55A, 58, 58A,

Page 7 of 10

owners/operators to incorporate this AFM revision.


The cost impact figure discussed above is based on assumptions that no operator has yet accomplished
any of this requirements of this AD action, and that no operator will accomplish those actions in the
future if this AD were not adopted.
In addition, the FAA recognizes that this action may impose operational costs. However, these costs are
incalculable because the frequency of occurrence of the specified conditions and the associated
additional flight time cannot be determined. Nevertheless, because of the severity of the unsafe
condition, the FAA has determined that continued operational safety necessitates the imposition of the
costs. Regulatory Impact
The regulations adopted herein will not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
among the various levels of government. Therefore, in accordance with Executive Order 12612, it is
determined that this final rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation
of a Federalism Assessment.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this action (1) is not a "significant regulatory action"
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a "significant rule" under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and (3) will not have a significant economic impact,
positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act. A copy of the final evaluation prepared for this action is contained in the Rules Docket.
A copy of it may be obtained by contacting the Rules Docket at the location provided under the caption

Adoption of the Amendment
Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the Federal Aviation
Administration amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as follows:
PART 39 - AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 USC 106(g), 40113, 44701.
39.13 [Amended]
2. Section 39.13 is amended by adding a new airworthiness directive (AD) to read as follows:
Regulatory Information
98-04-24 RAYTHEON AIRCRAFT COMPANY: Amendment 39-10336; Docket No. 97-CE-58-AD.
Applicability: Models E55, E55A, 58, 58A, 58P, 58PA, 58TC, and 58TCA Airplanes and 60, 65-B80,
65-B90, 90, F90, 100, 300, and B300 series airplanes (all serial numbers), certificated in any category.
NOTE 1: This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless
of whether it has been modified, altered, or repaired in the area subject to the requirements of this AD.
For airplanes that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of
this AD is affected, the owner/operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance in
accordance with paragraph (d) of this AD. The request should include an assessment of the effect of the

Raytheon Aircraft Company Models E55, E55A, 58, 58A,

Page 8 of 10

modification, alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe
condition has not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to address it.
Compliance: Required as indicated, unless already accomplished.
To minimize the potential hazards associated with operating the airplane in severe icing conditions by
providing more clearly defined procedures and limitations associated with such conditions, accomplish
the following:
(a) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, accomplish the requirements of paragraphs (a)(1)
and (a)(2) of this AD.
NOTE 2: Operators should initiate action to notify and ensure that flight crewmembers are apprised of
this change.
(1) Revise the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) by incorporating the following into the
Limitations Section of the AFM. This may be accomplished by inserting a copy of this AD in the AFM.
"WARNING

Severe icing may result from environmental conditions outside of those for which the
airplane is certificated. Flight in freezing rain, freezing drizzle, or mixed icing conditions
(supercooled liquid water and ice crystals) may result in ice build-up on protected surfaces
exceeding the capability of the ice protection system, or may result in ice forming aft of the
protected surfaces. This ice may not be shed using the ice protection systems, and may
seriously degrade the performance and controllability of the airplane.
During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed those for which the airplane is certificated
shall be determined by the following visual cues. If one or more of these visual cues exists,
immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic Control to facilitate a route or an
altitude change to exit the icing conditions.

- Unusually extensive ice accumulation on the airframe and windshield in areas not normally observed
to collect ice.
- Accumulation of ice on the upper surface of the wing, aft of the protected area.
- Accumulation of ice on the engine nacelles and propeller spinners farther aft than normally observed.
z

Since the autopilot, when installed and operating, may mask tactile cues that indicate
adverse changes in handling characteristics, use of the autopilot is prohibited when any of
the visual cues specified above exist, or when unusual lateral trim requirements or autopilot
trim warnings are encountered while the airplane is in icing conditions.
All wing icing inspection lights must be operative prior to flight into known or forecast
icing conditions at night. [NOTE: This supersedes any relief provided by the Master
Minimum Equipment List (MMEL).]"

(2) Revise the FAA-approved AFM by incorporating the following into the Normal Procedures Section
of the AFM. This may be accomplished by inserting a copy of this AD in the AFM.
"THE FOLLOWING WEATHER CONDITIONS
MAY BE CONDUCIVE TO SEVERE
IN-FLIGHT ICING:

z
z

These procedures are applicable to all flight phases from takeoff to landing. Monitor the
ambient air temperature. While severe icing may form at temperatures as cold as -18
degrees Celsius, increased vigilance is warranted at temperatures around freezing with
visible moisture present. If the visual cues specified in the Limitations Section of the AFM
for identifying severe icing conditions are observed, accomplish the following:
Immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic Control to facilitate a route or an
altitude change to exit the severe icing conditions in order to avoid extended exposure to
flight conditions more severe than those for which the airplane has been certificated.
Avoid abrupt and excessive maneuvering that may exacerbate control difficulties.
Do not engage the autopilot.
If the autopilot is engaged, hold the control wheel firmly and disengage the autopilot.
If an unusual roll response or uncommanded roll control movement is observed, reduce the
angle-of-attack.
Do not extend flaps when holding in icing conditions. Operation with flaps extended can
result in a reduced wing angle-of-attack, with the possibility of ice forming on the upper
surface further aft on the wing than normal, possibly aft of the protected area.
If the flaps are extended, do not retract them until the airframe is clear of ice.
Report these weather conditions to Air Traffic Control."

(b) Incorporating the AFM revisions, as required by this AD, may be performed by the owner/operator
holding at least a private pilot certificate as authorized by section 43.7 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (14 CFR 43.7), and must be entered into the aircraft records showing compliance with this
AD in accordance with section 43.9 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.9).
(c) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to a location where the
requirements of this AD can be accomplished.
(d) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an
equivalent level of safety may be approved by the Manager, Small Airplane Directorate, FAA, 1201
Walnut, suite 900, Kansas City, Missouri 64106. The request shall be forwarded through an appropriate
FAA Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Small Airplane
Directorate.
NOTE 3: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this
AD, if any, may be obtained from the Small Airplane Directorate.
(e) All persons affected by this directive may examine information related to this AD at the FAA,
Central Region, Office of the Regional Counsel, Room 1558, 601 E. 12th Street, Kansas City, Missouri
64106
(f) This amendment (39-10336) becomes effective on March 13, 1998.

CHARGE, in flight indicates a possible malfunction of the battery.
Turn the Battery Switch - OFF. The caution light should extinguish
and the flight may proceed to destination. Failure of the light to
extinguish with the battery switch off indicates a battery system or a
charge current detector system malfunction. The aircraft should be
landed at the first suitable airport. (The battery switch should be turned
on for landing in order to avoid electrical transients caused by power
fluctuations.) A During Engine Shutdown Battery Condition Check as
outlined below, should be made after landing. If the battery indicates
unsatisfactory, it should be removed and checked by a qualified NickelCadmium Battery shop.

ICING FLIGHT
LIMITATIONS
See Section III "FLIGHT INTO KNOWN ICING CONDITIONS", for equipment required, and
ADDITIONAL ICING LIMITATIONS REQUIRED BY FAA AD 98-04-24.

THE FOLLOWING WEATHER CONDITIONS MAY BE CONDUCIVE TO SEVERE INFLIGHT ICING


1.
2.

Visible rain at temperatures below 0C ambient air temperature.


Droplets that splash or splatter on impact at temperatures below 0C ambient air temperature.

PROCEDURES FOR EXITING THE SEVERE ICING ENVIRONMENT


These procedures are applicable to all flight phases from takeoff to landing. Monitor the ambient air
temperature. While severe icing may form at temperatures as cold as -18C, increased vigilance is
warranted at temperatures around freezing with visible moisture present. If the visual cues specified in the
Limitations Section of the AFM for identifying severe icing conditions are observed, accomplish the
following:
1. Immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic Control to facilitate a route or an altitude
change to exit the severe icing conditions in order to avoid extended exposure to flight conditions more
severe than those for which the airplane has been certificated.
2. Avoid abrupt and excessive maneuvering that may exacerbate control difficulties.
3. Do not engage the autopilot.
4. If the autopilot is engaged, hold the control wheel firmly and disengage the autopilot.
5. If an unusual roll response or uncommanded roll control movement is observed, reduce the angle-ofattack.
6. Do not extend flaps when holding in icing conditions. Operation with flaps extended can result in a
reduced wing angle-of-attack, with the possibility of ice forming on the upper surface further aft on the
wing than normal, possibly aft of the protected area.
7. If the flaps are extended, do not retract them until the airframe is clear of ice.
8. Report these weather conditions to Air Traffic Control.

Original: February 24, 1999

CAUTION
Stalling airspeeds should be expected to increase when ice has
accumulated on the airplane due to the distortion of the wing airfoil.
For the same reason, stall warning devices are not accurate and should
not be relied upon. Keep a comfortable margin of airspeed above the
normal stall airspeed with ice on the airplane. Maintain a minimum of
140 knots during sustained icing conditions to prevent ice accumulation
on unprotected surfaces of the wing. To ensure adequate windshield
anti-icing protection, operation in icing conditions at or below ambient
temperatures of 24oC is not recommended.

CHECK ALL SYSTEMS BEFORE TAKE-OFF WHEN ICING FLIGHT IS


ANTICIPATED
1.

Surface Deicing System


a.
Preflight: Check boots for damage and cleanliness
b.
Before take-off: De-ice Switch SINGLE (up) (HIGH IDLE)
(1) Check pneumatic gage.
(2) Check the boots visually for inflation and hold down.
c.
In-Flight: (When ice accumulates to 1 inch) De-icer switch SINGLE Repeat as
required.
NOTE
Either engine will supply sufficient vacuum and pressure for de-icer
operation.

2.

Engine Anti-Ice
a.
Preflight: Check inertial separator vanes retracted
b. Before take-off: 800 ft/lbs. Torque or above
(1) Engine ice protection controls
(a) Extend (pull) CHECK for torque drop indicating vane extension
(b) Retract (push) CHECK for torque increase to previous reading indicating
vane retraction.
c.
In flight:
(1) Before visible moisture is encountered at +5oC and below; or
(2) At night when freedom from visible moisture is not assured at +5oC and below (if in
doubt, extend the inertial separator vanes)
(a) Engine ice protection PULL
(b) Check proper operation by noting torque drop
(c) Regain torque by increasing power levers if desired (observe ITT limits)
CAUTION
If in doubt, extend the vanes. Engine icing can occur even though no
surface icing is present. If freedom from visible moisture +5oC or
below can not be assured, engine ice protection should be activated.
Visible moisture is moisture in any form: clouds, ice crystals, snow,
rain, sleet, hail, or any combination of these.

(1) Propeller De-icer Switch ON
(2) Propeller De-icer Ammeter CHECK; 14 TO 18 AMPERES
(3) To check the automatic timer, watch the propeller ammeter closely for at least two
minutes. A small momentary needle deflection approximately every 30 seconds shows
that the timer is switching and indicates normal system operation.
In Flight
(1) Propeller De-icer Switch - ON. The system may be operated continuously in flight and
will function automatically until the switch is turned OFF.
(2) Relieve propeller unbalance due to ice by increasing rpm briefly and returning to the
desired setting.
Repeat as necessary.
CAUTION
If the propeller ammeter reads above 18 amperes or below 14 amperes,
refer to the EMERGENCY PROCEDURES section.

BLENDING ANTI-ICING ADDITIVE TO FUEL


The following procedure will be used when blending anti-icing additive, complying with MIL-I 27686, as
the aircraft is being refueled through wing fillers.
1. Using Hi-Flo Prist blender (Model PHF-204), remove cap containing tube and clip assembly.
2. Attach pistol grip on collar.
3. Press tube into bottom.
4. Clip tube end to fuel nozzle.
5. Pull trigger firmly to assure full flow and lock in place
6. Start flow of additive when refueling begins. (Refueling should be at 30 gal/min minimum, 60
gal/min maximum. A rate of less than 30 gal/min may be used when topping off tanks.)

CAUTION
Assure that the additive is directed into the flowing fuel stream and that
additive flow is started AFTER fuel flow starts and is stopped
BEFORE fuel flow stops. Do not allow concentrated additive to contact
coated interior of fuel cells or airplane painted surfaces. Use not less
than 20 fl. oz. of additive per 260 gallons of fuel or more than 20 fl. oz.
of additive per 104 gallons of fuel.

IN FLIGHT
In-flight illumination of the BATTERY CHARGE annunciator light indicates a possible battery
malfunction. The battery condition can be checked in flight using the following procedure:
1.
2.

Battery Switch OFF (momentarily)


Loadmeter NOTE CHANGE
NOTE
If the change value exceeds .025, turn the battery switch OFF and
proceed to destination. In order to avoid electrical transients caused by
power fluctuations, the battery switch should be ON for landing.

3. BATTERY CHARGE Annunciator - EXTINGUISHED


NOTE
If the BATTERY CHARGE annunciator does not extinguish when the
battery control switch is placed in the OFF position, land as soon as
practicable.

DURING ENGINE SHUTDOWN


Battery - CONDITION AND CHARGE (If the BATTERY CHARGE light is extinguished, the battery is
charged and the condition is good. If the light is illuminated and fails to extinguish within 3 minutes of
charging, perform the following check:)
1.
2.
3.

One Generator OFF


Volt Meter INDICATING 28 VOLTS
After the load meter stabilizes, momentarily turn the Battery Switch OFF, noting the change in
meter indication.
NOTE
The change in load meter indications is the battery charge current and
should be no more than .025 (only perceivable needle movement). If
the result of this check is not satisfactory, perform the check again after
3 minutes charging time. If the result is still unsatisfactory the battery
should be removed and checked by a qualified Nickel-Cadmium
Battery shop.

FOOTNOTE:
The change in loadmeter indication (i.e., the amount of needle deflection) is directly
proportional to the battery charging current. A change value of .025 is indicated by very
little needle movement, since full-scale deflection represents a relative load value of 1.0.

LANDING GEAR MANUAL EXTENSION (EMERGENCY)


1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Airspeed ESTABLISH 120 KNOTS, CAS


Landing Gear Relay Circuit Breaker - PULL
Landing Gear Handle - DOWN
Extension Lever - UNSTOW
Emergency Engage Handle - LIFT AND TURN CLOCKWISE TO THE STOP TO ENGAGE.
Extension Lever PUMP, up and down until 3 green lights are acquired.
WARNING
If for any reason the green GEAR DOWN lights do not illuminate (e.g.
in case of an electrical failure), continue pumping until resistance
prohibits further movement of the handle.
CAUTION
Stop pumping when the 3 green GEAR DOWN lights illuminate.
Further movement of the handle could bind the drive mechanism and
prevent subsequent electrical gear retraction.
WARNING
After an emergency landing gear extension has been made, do not stow
pump handle, move any landing gear controls, or reset any switches or
circuit breakers until the airplane is on jacks, since the failure may have
been in the gear-up circuit, and the gear might retract on the ground.
The landing gear cannot be retracted manually.

LANDING GEAR RETRACTION AFTER PRACTICE MANUAL EXTENSION


After a practice manual extension of the landing gear, the gear may be retracted electrically as
follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Clutch Handle ROTATE CONTERCLOCKWISE AND PUSH DOWN


Extension Lever STOW
Landing Gear Relay Circuit Breaker PUSH IN
Landing Gear Handle UP (Airspeed below 130 kts)

EMERGENCY ALTERNATE STATIC AIR SOURCE


THE EMERGENCY STATIC AIR SOURCE SHOULD BE USED FOR CONDITIONS WHERE THE
NORMAL STATIC SOURCE HAS BEEN OBSTRUCTED. When airplane has been exposed to moisture
and/or icing conditions (especially on the ground), the possibility of obstructed static ports should be
considered. Partial obstructions will result in the rate of climb indication being sluggish during a climb or
descent. Verification of suspected obstruction is possible by switching to the emergency system and noting
a sudden sustained change in rate of climb. This may be accomplished by abnormal indicated airspeed and
altitude changes beyond normal calibration differences.

FAILURE OF SECONDARY (ELECTRICAL) LOW PITCH STOP


With a combination of low airspeed (below 110 kts.) and low power (below 400 ft. lbs.), if either
Secondary Low Pitch Stop Warning light illuminates in flight, DO NOT pull the PROP GOV IDLE
STOP circuit breaker, and DO NOT attempt reversing upon landing.
At airspeeds above 110 kts. and/or power setting above 400 ft. lbs., if either Secondary Low Pitch Stop
Warning light illuminates in flight, AND the respective propeller begins feathering:

1. Power Lever (affected side) REDUCE AS REQUIRED (to keep torque within limits)
2. PROP GOV IDLE STOP Circuit Breaker (co-pilots right subpanel) PULL (warning
light should extinguish and propeller speed should increase to governor setting)
3. Power Lever (affected side) RETURN TO DESIRED POWER
WARNING
Any malfunction of the Secondary Low Pitch Stop System must be
repaired before the next flight.

SPINS
If a spin is entered inadvertently:
Immediately move the control column full forward, apply full rudder opposite to the direction of the spin
and reduce power on both engines to idle. These three actions should be done as near simultaneously as
possible; then continue to hold this control position until rotation stops and then neutralize all controls and
execute a smooth pullout. Ailerons should be neutral during recovery.
NOTE
Federal Aviation Administration Regulations do no require spin
demonstration of airplanes of this weight; therefore, no spin tests have
been conducted. The recovery technique is based on the best available
information.

ILLUMINATION OF CABIN DOOR WARNING LIGHT


WARNING
If the cabin door is not completely latched, any movement of the door
handle toward the unlocked position may cause rapid and complete
unlatching and opening of the door.
1.
2.

Do not attempt to check the cabin door for security until the airplane is on the ground.
After landing, check the security of the cabin door:
a. Open the door, then close it again.
b. Check to ensure that the handle is in the locked position (rotated fully clockwise, as viewed from
the inside of the cabin), and that the cabin door warning light is extinguished.

SECTION VIII
INTRODUCTION TO CRUISE CONTROL
The graphs and tables on pages 8-7 through 8-27, present performance for flight planning at various power,
weight, altitude and temperature conditions. Cruise information is tabulated for maximum cruise and
maximum range powers, for altitudes from sea level to 28,000 feet. Graphs of range distance at maximum
cruise and maximum range powers and endurance time at maximum endurance power, are presented for
standard conditions on pages 8-8, 8-17 and 8-26. Graphs of cruise climb and descent time, fuel and range,
are presented on pages 8-7 and 8-27 respectively.

Enter the Twin Engine Cruise Climb Graph, page 8-7, at 16000 feet and 2000 feet at 9650 pounds and
apply the temperature correction for ISA+10oC, to obtain the following:
Time to climb from sea level to 16000 feet = 24 Minutes
Time to climb from sea level to 2000 feet = 2 Minutes
Time to climb from 2000 feet to 16000 feet = 22 Minutes

Fuel used during climb from sea level to 2000 feet = 21 Pounds
Fuel used during climb from 2000 feet to 16000 feet = 196 Pounds
Distance traveled during climb, sea level to 16000 feet = 75 N.M.
Distance traveled during climb, sea level to 2000 feet = 5 N.M.

LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
It is the responsibility of the airplane operator to insure that the airplane is properly loaded. At the time of certification,
the necessary weight and balance data was provided for the operator to compute individual loadings with minimum
effort. All subsequent changes in weight and balance are the responsibility of the airplane owner/operator.
The Basic Empty Weight and Moment of the Airplane at the time of certification is shown on the Aircraft empty Weight
and Balance Form. Useful Load items which may be loaded into the Airplane are shown on the Useful Load Weights
and Moments Tables. The Minimum and Maximum Moments approved by the FAA are shown on the Gross Weight
Moment Limits Graph. These Moments correspond to the forward and aft Center of Gravity flight limits for a particular
weight. All Moments are divided by 100 to simplify computations.
COMPUTING PROCEDURE
1.

Record the Basic Empty Weight and Moment from the Aircraft Empty Weight and Balance Form (or from the
latest superseding form). The moment must be divided by 100 to correspond to Useful Load Moments.

2.

Record the weight and corresponding moment of each item to be carried.

3.

Total the weight column and moment column. The total weight must not exceed the maximum allowable gross
weight and the total moment must be within the minimum and maximum moments shown on the gross Weight
Moment Limits Graph.

4.

Determine the weight and corresponding moment of fuel to be burned by subtracting the amount on board on
landing from the amount on board at take-off.

9-4

65-A90-1 & -4 Pilot's Operating Manual 10,200 LBS


P/N FM-1002

Original:February 24, 1999

5.

Subtract the weight and moment of fuel to be burned from the take-off weight and moment. The landing moment
must be within the minimum and maximum moments shown on Gross Weight Moment Limits Graph for that
weight. If the total moment is less than the minimum moment allowed, useful load items must be shifted aft or
forward load items reduced. If the total moment is greater than the maximum moment allowed, useful load items
must be shifted forward or aft load items reduced. If the quantity or location of load items is changed, the
calculations must be revised and the moments rechecked.

SECTION X
SERVICING
INTRODUCTION TO
SERVICING
The purpose of this section is to outline the
requirements for maintaining the 65-A90-1 & -4
in a condition at least equal to that of its original
manufacture. This information sets the time
frequency intervals in which the airplane should
be taken to the Parts and Service Outlet for
periodic servicing or preventive maintenance.
The Federal Aviation Regulations place the
responsibility for the maintenance of this
airplane on the owner and operator, who should
ensure that all maintenance is done by qualified
mechanics in conformity with all airworthiness
requirements established for this airplane.
All limits, procedures, safety practices, time
limits, servicing and maintenance requirements
contained in this manual are considered
mandatory.

GROUND HANDLING
TOWING
The tow bar connects to the upper torque knee
fitting of the nose strut. The airplane is steered
with the tow bar when moving the airplane by
hand or an optional tow bar is available for
towing the airplane with a tug. Although the tug
will control the steering of the airplane, someone
should be positioned in the pilots seat to operate
the brakes in case of an emergency. Always
ascertain that the control locks are removed
before towing the airplane as serious damage can
occur to the steering linkage if towed with a tug
with the rudder locks installed. The nose gear
strut has turn radius warning marks to warn the
tug driver when structure limits of the gear will
be exceeded. Damage will occur to the nose gear
and linkage if the turn radius is exceeded. When
ground handling the airplane, do not use the
propellers or control surfaces as hand holds, to
push or move the airplane.

Original: February 24, 1999

PARKING
The parking brakes can be set by pulling out the
parking brake handle and depressing the pilots
brake pedals. Do not attempt to lock the parking
brake by applying force to the parking brake
handle; it controls a valve only, and cannot apply
pressure to the brake system. To release the
brakes, depress pedals to equalize pressure on
the brake lines, and then push the parking brake
handle in.
NOTE
Do not set the parking brakes during low
temperatures when an accumulation of
moisture may cause the brakes to freeze,
or when they are hot from severe use.

CONTROL LOCKS
The control lock, consisting of two pins and a Ushaped clamp connected together by a chain,
holds the power quadrant controls, and the
elevator, aileron, and rudder in the neutral
position. Install the clamp over the power
quadrant and the pins in the control column and
rudder pedals. Due to the possibility of an
attempt to taxi or fly the airplane with the power
quadrant clamp removed and the control surface
lock pins installed, it is important that all three
locks be installed or removed at the same time,
never leaving the power quadrant unlocked
when

CONTROL LOCKS (DIAGRAM)

65-A90-1 & -4 Pilot's Operating Manual 10,200 LBS


P/N FM-1002

10 - 3

any of the control surfaces are locked. The


power quadrant clamp is installed over the
power quadrant levers to prevent movement.
The control lock pin is installed vertically from
above, through pilots control column assembly.
The largest of the two pins is installed through
the pilots rudder pedals to hold the rudders in
neutral. A placard attached to the chain displays
the proper installation procedure.

TIE-DOWN
Three mooring eyes are provided, one on each
wing and one on the tail. To moor the airplane,
chock the wheels fore and aft, install the control
lock and tie the airplane down at all three points.
Avoid over tightening the rear line and pulling
the nose of the airplane up so far that wind will
create lift on the wings. If extreme weather is
anticipated, it is advisable to nose the airplane
into the wind. Install engine inlet and exhaust
covers and pitot mast covers when mooring the
aircraft.
To tie down your aircraft securely, use the
following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Chock the wheels fore and aft.


Install the control locks.
Tie each wing with a nylon line or chain
through its mooring eye.
Tie the tail with a nylon line or chain
through the mooring eye in the ventral fin.

AIRCRAFT SERVICING
EXTERNAL POWER
The aircraft electrical system is protected against
damage from an external power source with
reversed polarity by a relay and diodes in the
external power circuit. The external power
receptacle is located just outboard of the nacelle
in the right center section. The receptacle is
designed for a standard AN type plug. To supply
power for ground checks or to assist in starting,
a ground power source capable of delivering a
continuous load of 300 amperes and up to 1000
amperes for .1 second is required. Observe the
following precautions when using an external
power source.
1.

10-4

2.

3.

Before connecting an external power unit,


ensure that a battery is installed in the
aircraft and that the battery switch is ON.
All other electrical and avionics equipment
should be turned OFF to prevent damage
from transient voltage spikes.
If the unit does not have a standard AN
plug, check the polarity and connect the
positive lead from the external power unit to
the center post and the negative lead to the
front post of the airplanes external power
receptacle. The small pin of the receptacle
must be supplied with +24 VDC to close the
external power relay that provides
protection against damage by reversing
polarity.

BATTERY
The 24-volt Nickel-Cadmium battery or optional
Lead-Acid battery will provide years of reliable
service; however, careful maintenance is
required to obtain this service. Nickel cadmium
batteries are significantly different from lead
acid batteries. When service is required, it is
recommended it be serviced by qualified
personnel.

LANDING GEAR
TIRES
The 65-A90-1 & -4, approved at 10,200 lbs., is
equipped with 8.50 x 10, 10 ply, tubeless tires on
the main gear wheels and a 6.50 x 10, 6 ply,
tubeless tire on the nose gear.
CAUTION
Tires that have picked up a fuel or oil
film should be washed down as soon as
possible with a detergent solution to
prevent contamination of the rubber.
Maintaining proper tire inflation will help to
avoid damage from landing shock and contact
with sharp stones and ruts, and will minimize
tread wear. When inflating the tires, inspect them
for cuts, cracks, breaks, and tread wear. The main
tires should be inflated between 52 and 60 psi and
the nose tire between 50 and 55 psi.

Use only an auxiliary power source that is


negatively grounded. If the polarity of the
power source is unknown, determine the
polarity with a voltmeter before connecting
the unit to the airplane.

SHOCK STRUTS

OIL SYSTEM

To check the fluid level in the landing gear


shock absorbers, deflate the strut by releasing the
air through the valve, then remove the filler
valve adapter. The fluid level should be at the
bottom of the valve standpipe with the struts
fully compressed. If the level is low, add MILH-5606 hydraulic fluid to reach the standpipe,
work the strut slightly to eliminate any trapped
air, then add more fluid as necessary.

Servicing the engine oil system primarily


involves maintaining the engine oil at the proper
level, inspecting and cleaning the filter element,
and changing the oil at the proper intervals. The
filter element should be cleaned at 200-hour
intervals. The interval for changing the oil is
dependent upon the aircraft utilization. For
typical utilization (50 hours per month or less)
change the oil each 400 hours or 9 months,
whichever occurs first. For high utilization
(more than 50 hours per month), change the oil
each 800 hours (1200 hours with 5 Centistoke
oils) or 9 months.

WARNING
Release the air pressure entirely
before removing the valve adapter.
With the airplane empty except for fuel and oil,
inflate the nose strut with dry air or nitrogen
until the piston is extended 3 to 3-1/2 inches and
the main strut until the piston is extended 3
inches.

BRAKE SYSTEM
Brake system servicing is limited primarily to
maintaining the hydraulic fluid level in the
reservoir mounted in the upper right corner of
the nose radio compartment. A dip stick is
provided for measuring the fluid level. When
the reservoir is low on fluid, add a sufficient
quantity of MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid to fill
the reservoir to the full mark on dipstick. The

BRAKE WEAR (DIAGRAM)

only other requirement related to servicing


involves the wheel brakes themselves. Brake
lining adjustment is automatic, eliminating the
need for periodic adjustment of the brake
clearance. With the parking brake set, check
brake wear periodically to assure that dimension
A in the Brake Wear illustration does not
reach zero. When it reaches zero, refer to the
BEECHCRAFT Servicing and Maintenance
Instructions for King Air brakes and wheels.

Original: February 24, 1999

CAUTION
Do not mix different brands of oil when
adding oil between oil changes, for
different brands of oil may be
incompatible because of the difference in
their chemical structure.
The oil tank is provided with an oil filler neck
and quantity dipstick cap which protrude
through the accessory gearcase at the eleven
oclock position. The dipstick is marked in U.S.
quarts and indicates the amount of oil required to
fill the tank. Access to the dipstick cap is gained
by opening the aft engine cowl. Service the oil
system with oil as specified in the Consumable
Materials Chart. Do not mix the oil brands. Oil
Tank capacity is 2.3 U.S. gallons with 5 quarts
measured on the dipstick as usable, for adding
purposes. When a dry engine is first serviced it
will require approximately 5 quarts in addition to
tank capactiy to fill the lines and cooler, giving a
total system capacity of 14 quarts. The engine
will trap approximately 1.5 quarts which cannot
be drained; therefore, when performing an oil
change, refill the system with 12 quarts and add
additional oil based on the dipstick reading.
CAUTION
Spilled oil should be removed
immediately to prevent possible tire
contamination or damage.
CAUTION
Ensure oil cap is properly in place: Loss
of oil due to improperly installed caps has
required engine shutdowns more than any
other reason.

brand of oil throughout the system.


Completely drain the aircraft oil system
and again remove the oil filter and
immerse it in the new brand of oil.
Refill the aircraft oil system as
indicated below. This will thoroughly
purge the system of the oil to prevent
chemical interaction between it and the
new brand.

CLEANING AND INSPECTING THE


OIL FILTER
The engine oil filter is located under the square
cover plate at the three oclock position of the
compressor inlet case and just behind the aft fire
seal. The filter may be cleaned as follows:
1. Remove the four self-locking nuts and
plain washers securing the filter cover to
the compressor inlet case. Remove the
cover and withdraw the element from the
filter housing.
2. Agitate the element for five minute in clean,
unused solvent.
3. Dry the element with clean filtered air or
allow to stand until dry.
4. Visually inspect and repeat the cleaning
process if required. The filter should be
inspected at 100-hour intervals. Inspect the
filter element with a magnifying glass. If
more than 5% of the visible passages is
blocked, the element must be cleaned and
inspected at an approved overhaul facility.
If dents or broken wires are found in the
filter element screen, the filter element must
be replaced. Each time the filter is removed
for cleaning or inspection, the O ring seal
inside the perforated flange must be
replaced.

FUEL SYSTEM
FUEL HANDLING PRACTICES
All hydrocarbon fuels contain some dissolved
and some suspended water. The quantity of
water contained in the fuel depends on
temperature and the type of fuel. Kerosene, with
its higher aromatic content, tends to absorb and
suspend more water than aviation gasoline.
Along with the water, it will suspend rust, lint
and other foreign materials longer. Given
sufficient time, these suspended contaminants
will settle to the bottom of the tank. However,
the settling time for kerosene is five times that of
aviation gasoline. Due to this fact, jet fuels
require good fuel handling practices to assure
that the 65-A90-1 & -4 is serviced with clean
fuel. If recommended ground procedures are
carefully followed, solid contaminants will settle
and free water can be reduced to 30 parts per
million (ppm), a value that is currently accepted
by the major airlines. Since most suspended
matter can be removed from the fuel by
sufficient settling time and proper filtration, they
are not a major problem. Dissolved water has
been found to be the major fuel contamination
problem. Its effects are multiplied in aircraft
operating primarily in humid regions and warm
climates.
Dissolved water cannot be filtered from the fuel
by micronic type filters, but can be released by
lowering the fuel temperature, such as will occur
Original: February 24, 1999

in flight. For example, a kerosene fuel may


contain 65 ppm (8 ounces per 1000 gallons) of
dissolved water at 80F.
When the fuel
temperature is lowered to 15F, only about 25
ppm will remain in solution. The difference of
40 ppm will have been released as super cooled
water droplets which need only a piece of solid
contaminant or an impact shock to convert them
to ice crystals. Tests indicate that these water
droplets will not settle during flight and are
pumped freely through the system. If they
become ice crystals in the tank, they will not
settle since the specific gravity of ice is
approximately equal to that of kerosene. The 40
ppm of suspended water seems like a very small
quantity, but when added to suspended water in
the fuel at the time of deliver, is sufficient to ice
a filter. While the critical fuel temperature range
is from 0 to -20F, which produces severe
system icing, water droplets can freeze at any
temperature below 32 F.
Water in jet fuel also creates an environment
favorable to the growth of a microbiological
sludge in the settlement areas of the fuel cells.
This sludge, plus other contaminants in the fuel,
can cause corrosion of metal parts in the fuel
system as well as clogging the fuel filters. The
65-A90-1 & -4 use bladder type fuel cells. All
metal parts (except the boost pumps and transfer
pumps) are mounted above the settlement areas.
The possibility of filter clogging and corrosive
attacks on the fuel pumps exists if contaminated
fuels are consistently used. See Maintenance
Manual for prevention and treatment of
microbiological growth.
Since fuel temperature and settling time affect
total water content and foreign matter suspension,
contamination can be minimized by keeping
equipment clean, using adequate filtration
equipment and careful water drainage procedures,
storing the fuel in the coolest areas possible, and
allowing adequate settling time. Underground
storage is recommended for fuels. Filtering the
fuel each time it is transferred will minimize the
quantity of suspended contaminants carried by the
fuel.
The primary means of fuel contamination control
by the owner/operator is careful handling. This
applies not only to fuel supply, but to keeping the
aircraft system clean. The following is a list
of steps that may be taken to prevent and
recognize contamination problems.

Know your supplier. It is impractical to


assume that fuel free from contaminants will
always be available, but it is feasible to
exercise precaution and be watchful for
signs of fuel contamination.
Assure, as much as possible, that the fuel
obtained has been properly stored, filtered
as it is pumped to the truck, and again as it
is pumped from the truck to the aircraft.
Perform filter inspections to determine if
sludge is present.
Maintain good housekeeping by periodically
flushing the fuel tank system.
The
frequency of flushing will be determined by
the climate and the presence of sludge.
Since aviation gas is an alternate fuel, it
should be used occasionally as a means to
change fuel tank environment, thus
destroying a possible microbiological
growth pattern. The 150 hours maximum
operation of an engine on aviation gas per a
Time Between Overhaul must be
observed.
Use only clean fuel servicing equipment.
After refueling, allow a three hour settle
period whenever possible, then drain a small
amount of fuel from each drain.

FILLING THE TANKS


When filling the aircraft fuel tanks, always
observe the following:
1.
2.

NOTE
Servicing the nacelle tanks first prevents
fuel transfer through the gravity feed
interconnect lines from the tanks into the
nacelle tanks during fueling. If wing
tanks are filled first, fuel will transfer
from them into the nacelle tank leaving
the wing tanks only partially filled. Be
sure that nacelle tanks are completely
full after servicing the fuel system to
assure proper automatic fuel transfer
during flight operation. For a complete
list of recommended fuels, check the
Fuel Listings Chart.

CAUTION
Jet fuel spilled in ramp areas should be
removed immediately to prevent tire
contamination and subsequent tire
damage.

Make sure the aircraft is statically grounded


to the servicing unit and to the ramp.
Service nacelle tanks of each side first. The
nacelle tank filler caps are located at the top
of each nacelle. The main filler caps are
located in the top of the wing, outboard of
the nacelles.

Allow three-hour settle period whenever


possible, then drain a small amount of fuel
from each drain point.

DRAINING FUEL SYSTEM


Open each fuel drain daily to drain off any water
or other contamination collected in the low
places. Along with the drain on the firewall
mounted fuel filter, there are four other drains
the nacelle tank fuel pump drain, center section
tank transfer pump drain, wheel well drain, and
the inboard end of the wing leading edge tank
drain. The fuel pump and tank drains are
accessible from the underside of the airplane
while the fuel filter drain is reached inside the
top cowl door.
CAUTION
The firewall shutoff valve has to be
electrically opened to drain large
quantities of fuel from the firewall fuel
filter drain.

2. Remove filter element and discard.
3. Before installing new filter element,
unscrew inlet screen cover and withdraw
assembly.
4. Wash the screen with solvent. Contaminants
will be on inside of screen.
5. Tighten bolt and torque 20-23 in. lb.
6. Install two new preformed packings on
screen cover and assemble screen and cover
assembly to pump body.
7. Tighten over to compress the packing and
obtain metal-to-metal contact and then
lockwire.
8. After cleaning and reinstalling screen, install
a new fuel pump outlet filter. (Check for
pressure of preformed packing in internal
diameter. The element must be installed so
that the preformed packing slides over the
spigot in the pump body.)
9. Replace preformed packing on filter
housing.
10. Install filter housing and tighten to compress
preformed packing to obtain metal-to-metal
contact.
11. Lockwire square section of housing to hole
on nameplate boss. Check for leaks after
engine ground checks.

Vacuum for the flight instruments is obtained by


operating an ejector with bleed air from the
engines. During operation, the ejector draws air
in through the instrument filter and the gyros. If
the gyros are not using the total vacuum pressure
created by the ejector, a vacuum relief regulator
handles the remainder.
The instrument filter, located at the top of the
radio compartment, is of prime importance and
should be replaced every 500 hours, or more
often if conditions warrant (smoky, dusty
conditions).
The vacuum relief regulator valve, located on the
forward pressure bulkhead in the bottom of the
radio compartment, is protected by a foam
sponge type filter that should be cleaned in
solvent at least every 100 hours. If vacuum
pressure rises above a normal reading, clean the
filter and recheck vacuum pressure before
attempting to adjust the valve.

MAINTENANCE
AIRCRAFT FINISH CARE
Urethane paint is used on the 65-A90-1 & -4. A
finish of this type is necessary because the
turbine oil used in the PT6A-20 engines will
damage enamel and lacquer finishes. Besides
forming a tougher protective film, it has a very
lustrous sparkle. A good coat of wax will aid in
protecting the surface from the elements. Any
good automotive polish or wax may be used on
the 65-A90-1 & -4.

SURFACE DEICE BOOT


CLEANING
The surfaces of the deice boots should be
checked for indications of engine oil after
servicing and at the end of each flight. Any oil
spots that are found should be removed with a
non-detergent soap and water solution. Care
should be exercised during cleaning to avoid
scrubbing the surface of the boots, as this will
tend to remove the special coating. The deice
boots are made of soft, flexible stock, which may
be damaged if gasoline hoses are dragged over
the surface of the boots or if ladders and
platforms are rested against them.

CLEANING PLASTIC WINDOWS


The windshield and plastic windows should be
kept clean and waxed at all times. To prevent
scratches and crazing, wash them carefully with
plenty of soap and water, using the palm of the
hand to feel and dislodge dirt and mud. A soft

cloth, chamois or sponge may be used, but only


to carry water to the surface. Rinse thoroughly,
then dry with a clean, moist chamois. Rubbing
the surface of the plastic with a dry cloth builds
up an electrostatic charge, which attracts dust
particles in the air.
Remove oil and grease with a cloth moistened
with kerosene. Never use gasoline, benzine,
alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, fire
extinguisher or anti-ice fluid, lacquer thinner or
glass cleaner. These materials will soften the
plastic and may cause it to craze.
After removing dirt and grease, if the surface is
not badly scratched, it should be waxed with a
good grade of commercial wax. The wax will fill
in minor scratches and help prevent further
scratching. Apply a thin, even coat of wax and
bring it to a high polish by rubbing lightly with a
clean, dry, soft flannel cloth. Do not use a power
buffer; the heat generated by the buffing pad
may soften the plastic.

Oily spots may be cleaned with household spot


removers used sparingly. Before using any
solvent, read the instructions on the container
and test it on an obscure place on the fabric to be
cleaned. Never saturate the fabric with a volatile
solvent, it may damage the padding and backing
materials.
Solid upholstery and carpet may be cleaned with
foam-type detergent, used according to the
manufacturers instructions. To minimize
wetting the fabric, keep the foam as dry as
possible and remove it with a vacuum cleaner.
The plastic trim instrument panel and control
knobs need only be wiped with a damp cloth. Oil
and grease on the control wheel and control
knobs can be removed with a cloth moistened
with kerosene. Volatile solvents, such as
mentioned in the article on care of plastic
windows, should never be used since they soften
and craze the plastic.

To remove dust and loose dirt from the


upholstery, headliner, and carpet, clean the
interior regularly with a vacuum cleaner.

The heater fuel filter is located at the upper front


of the left wheel well.
