ORGANIZATION OF THE MANUAL


GENERAL
This Aeroplane Operating Manual (AOM) has been prepared by Bombardier Aerospace Regional Aircraft.
It is provided for the guidance of pilots when operating the DHC 8-Q400 Series airplanes.
It is in the responsibility of pilots who are qualified to operate this airplane to be entirely familiar with the infor-
mation contained in this publication to ensure that the airplane is operated at all times within the approved flight
envelope.
NOTE: It is the operator’s responsibility to keep the manual in a current status.
For clarity and simplicity, this manual is written in the imperative, in order that the information and operating
instructions may be presented in a positive sense and require no interpretation by the user.
Specific items requiring emphasis are expanded upon and ranked in increasing order of importance in the form
of a NOTE, CAUTION or WARNING.
NOTE: Expands on information which has already been provided.
CAUTION: Provides information to prevent misuse of systems which could directly affect their
function or serviceability.
WARNING: Emphasizes information of immediate flight safety importance.
Bombardier Aerospace, Regional Aircraft publications use both metric and imperial systems of measurement.
The system used in the original reference document is given first, followed by the conversion in parentheses.
If the data or procedures written in this manual are different from those given by the regulatory authority (which
controls operation of the airplane), obey the data and procedures of the regulatory authority.
NOTE: The information in this manual applies only to the Dash 8-Q400 airplanes.
The AOM consists of 4 Volumes (6 Chapters) as follows:
Volume 1 – Chapters 0 to 3
Volume 2 – Chapters 4 and 5
Volume 3 – Chapters 6.1 to 6.12
Volume 4 – Chapters 6.13 to 6.29
Each Volume is identified by the title page only.
Each Chapter is identified by the list of effective pages (LEP) and a table of content (ToC).
In the event of a disagreement the AFM is relevant.

CONTENTS
The AOM provides flight crews with necessary information concerning the airplane systems, limitations, proce-
dures and performance data. The system described may differ from the actual customized airplane.
Chapters are divided into Sub-Chapters and Subjects.
Tab dividers showing chapter titles and numbers are provided for prompt identification.
Procedures and checklists reflect Bombardier Aerospace Flight Operations Department philosophy.

PAGE IDENTIFICATION
Each manual page presents airplane series, manual designation and chapter title and number.
Page identification consists of the Chapter, Sub-Chapter, Page number, Revision status and Date of effectivity.
Arrangement of Page identification (sample):
0.0-1 = [Chapter] . [Sub-Chapter] - [Page Number]
[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011= Revision Number and Date of last issue

A normal Blank Page within a page block is identified with the phrase: THIS PAGE

TABLES and DRAWINGS

Tables and drawings are identified by their titles and numbers.


Table numbers and titles are displayed at the top.
Figure numbers and titles at the bottom of the respective illustration.

MANUAL UP-DATING

LIST OF EFFECTIVE PAGES (LEP)

The LEP enables the user to determine that the manual is up-to-date, with all revisions incorporated and all
deleted pages removed.
The contents of this AOM must at all times comply with the contents as given by the LEP.

REVISION

Revisions will be distributed whenever necessary.


The revision date is shown on the revised page, even if there is only one page affected by the revision.
Revised text (added or deleted material) and / or illustrations are indicated by a vertical black line along the
outside margin of the column or page.
Changes in capitalization, spelling, punctuation or the physical location of material on a page will not be identi-
fied by a symbol.

RECORD OF REVISIONS (RoR)

The record of revisions contains revision date, date inserted and incorporator’s initials.
Revisions are issued on the assumption that previous revisions have been incorporated.

TEMPORARY REVISIONS (TR)

Sometimes it may be necessary to supply the operator with information which has not yet been processed fully.
A Temporary Revision will then be issued on a subscription basis.
It will be printed on yellow paper to distinguish these from normal revisions.
The Temporary Revisions are not incorporated in the LEP.
Every Temporary Revision has a follow-up; either a normal revision or a notice stating that the Temporary Revi-
sion has been cancelled.

RECORD OF TEMPORARY REVISIONS (RoTR)

The Record of Temporary Revisions enables recording of the successive temporary revision numbers, page
numbers and issue dates, with additional columns for date inserted, date removed and incorporator’s /
remover’s initials.
The replacement page will be issued only after the available entry space has been used.

OBTAINING REVISIONS

The user has to check the pages in the manual for approval date to be the same as shown in the LEP for that
page.
If any page is missing or shows an incorrect approval date, the user has to apply for replacements to:

IAS Indicated Airspeed – airspeed reading corrected for instrument error.


Values in this manual assume zero instrument error.
CAS Calibrated Airspeed – Indicated Airspeed corrected for position error.
EAS Equivalent Airspeed – Calibrated Airspeed corrected for compressibility error.
TAS True Airspeed = (EAS) / √σ
VMCA Minimum Control Speed, Air – Minimum flight speed at which the airplane is controllable
with a maximum of 5° bank, when the critical engine suddenly becomes inoperative,
with the remaining engine at maximum take-off power.
VMCG Minimum Control Speed, Ground – Minimum speed on the ground at which control can
be maintained and take-off continued using aerodynamic controls alone, when the criti-
cal engine suddenly becomes inoperative, with the remaining engine at maximum take-
off power.
V1 Take-off Decision Speed – Speed at which, due to engine failure or other causes, the
pilot may elect to stop or to continue take-off.
VR Rotation Speed – Speed at which rotation is initiated during take-off to attain V2 at or
before a height of 35 ft above the runway.
V2 Take-off Safety Speed – Target climb speed to be attained at or before a height of 35 ft
above the runway during a continued take-off, following an engine failure.
VMCL Minimum Control Speed, Landing / Approach – Minimum flight speed at which the air-
plane is controllable with a maximum of 5° bank, when the critical engine suddenly
becomes inoperative and with the remaining engine at maximum take-off power.
VREF Landing / Approach Speed at a height 50 ft above the runway in the landing configura-
tion
OAT Outside Air Temperature (in flight SAT = OAT).
SAT Static Air Temperature (in flight SAT = OAT).
σ Density Ratio.

Take-off Distance The Take-off Distance is the longer of:


a. 115% of the distance from the start of the take-off roll to the point at which the air-
plane attains a height of 35 ft above the take-off surface, with all engines operating.
b. For dry runway, the distance from the start of the take-off roll to the point where the
airplane attains a height of 35 ft above the take-off surface, with a critical engine fail-
ure such that the failure would be recognized at the decision speed V1.
c. For wet runway, the distance from the start of the take-off roll to the point where the
airplane attains a height of at least 15 ft above the take-off surface, with a critical
engine failure such that the failure would be recognized at the decision speed V1.
Take-off Run The Take-off Run is the longer of:
a. 115% of the distance from the start of the take-off roll to the mid-point between lift-off
and the point at which the airplane attains a height of 35 ft above the take-off sur-
face, with all engines operating.
b. For dry runway, the distance from the start of the take-off roll to the mid-point
between lift-off and the point at which the airplane attains a height of 35 ft above the
take-off surface, with a critical engine failure such that the failure would be recog-
nized at the decision speed V1.
c. For wet runway, the distance from the start of the take-off roll to the point where the
airplane attains a height of at least 15 ft above the take-off surface, with a critical
engine failure such that the failure would be recognized at the decision speed V1.
Stopway An area beyond the take-off runway at least as wide as the runway and centered upon
the extended centerline of the runway, able to support the airplane during an aborted
take-off, without causing structural damage to the airplane and designated by the air-
port authorities for use in decelerating the airplane during an aborted take-off.

Accelerate-Stop The Accelerate-Stop Distance is the longer of a) and b) which are defined below:
Distance a) Accelerate-Stop Distance with an engine failure at VEF as defined below:
1. The distance necessary to accelerate the airplane from a standing start to VEF
with all engines operating plus:
2. The distance required to accelerate the airplane from VEF to V1 and continue the
acceleration for a further 1 s, assuming the critical engine fails at VEF plus:
3. The distance required to come to a full stop from the point reached at the end of
the acceleration period prescribed in paragraph a)2. above, assuming that the
pilot does not apply any means of retarding the airplane until that point is reached
and that the critical engine is still inoperative plus:
4. A distance margin equal to 2 s at V1.
b) Accelerate-Stop Distance with all engines operating as defined below:
1. The distance necessary to accelerate the airplane from a standing start to V1 and
continue the acceleration for a further 1.0 s with all engines operating plus:
2. The distance required to come to a full stop from the point reached at the end of
the acceleration period prescribed in paragraph b)1. above, assuming that the
pilot does not apply any means of retarding the airplane until that point is reached
and that all engines are still operating plus:
3. A distance margin equal to 2 s at V1.
Clearway An area beyond the runway, not less than 500 ft (152 m) wide, centrally located about
the extended centerline of the runway and under the control of the airport authorities.
The clearway is expressed in terms of a clearway plane, extending from the end of the
runway with an upward slope not exceeding 1.25%, above which no object nor any ter-
rain protrudes.
However, threshold lights may protrude above the plane if their height above the end of
the runway is 26 in (66 cm) or less and if they are located to each side of the runway.
(the clearway in no instance may be more than one half the runway length as required
by the relevant operating regulation)
Wet Runway A runway is considered as wet when there is sufficient moisture on the runway surface
to cause it to appear reflective, but without significant areas of standing water.
Take-off Field The Take-off Run required is equal to the Take-off Distance required.
Lengths on Wet
Runway
Take-off Path The Take-off Path begins from a standing start and ends at 1500 ft above the take-off
surface or at the point where transition from take-off to enroute configuration is com-
pleted, whichever is higher.
Take-off Flight Path The Take-off Flight Path begins at the end of the take-off distance and at a height of 35
ft above the take-off surface and ends at 1500 ft above the take-off surface, or at the
point where transition from take-off to enroute configuration is completed, whichever is
higher.
Net Take-off Flight The Net Take-off Flight Path is the actual take-off flight path diminished by a gradient of
Path climb (or equivalent reduction in acceleration along that part of the take-off flight path at
which the airport is accelerated in level flight) of 0.8%.
Land Immediately Land at the Nearest Suitable Airport that offers sufficient runway Landing Distance
at the Nearest Available and if required, emergency services to support the emergency or abnormality.

CHAPTER 2 2.0-1

NORMAL PROCEDURES [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

2.0 NORMAL PROCEDURES

2.0.1 Introduction
The Procedures described herein are intended to facilitate the safe and expeditious operation of the Dash 8, in
both an operational and training environment. It is essential that both crew members have a thorough knowl-
edge of the procedures, and adhere to them unless the safety of the flight dictates otherwise.
This document consists of five Sections:
General Information
Describes policies regarding crew co-ordination, checklist procedures, use of the Autoflight Control System
(AFCS) and standard calls.
Normal Operating Procedures
Normal Operations for normal flight and Operation on Wet and Contaminated Runways.
Flight Procedures
This Section supplements the Normal Operating Procedures by providing detailed information on how to oper-
ate the aeroplane. It also describes some flight maneuvers and procedures which will be required for simulator
and flight training.
Special Procedures
Described herein are Procedures concerning Low Visibility, GPWS and TCAS Operation.
Normal Procedures and Checklists
The expanded Normal Procedures and Checklists for daily Operation.

2.0.2 General
2.0.2.1 Application of Normal Procedures
Normal Procedures are performed by ‘challenge and response’, ‘read and do’, or silent according to
Table 2.0-2.
2.0.2.2 Crew Co-ordination
Crew co-ordination is an essential part of every successful flight. It is the responsibility of each crew member to
be familiar with his/her responsibilities and execute them in a professional and timely manner. Each member of
the crew must also be familiar with responsibilities of other crew members.
2.0.2.3 Chain of Command
In order of priority:
1. Pilot-in-command (PIC)
2. Second-in-command or copilot/First Officer (2IC or F/O)
3. Senior Cabin Crew Member (CA 1)
Cabin Crew Member (CA2 + CA3)
2.0.2.4 Pilot Duties
The inflight duties of the pilots are interchangeable. Therefore the terminology Pilot Flying (PF) and Pilot Not
Flying (PNF) will be used to distinguish pilot duties. When the First Officer (2IC) is the PF, the Commander
(PIC) assumes the PF duties until the aeroplane is lined up for Take-off and, once again, takes over PF duties
when the aeroplane has decelerated to 50 Knots, after landing.
2.0.2.5 Change of Pilot Control
The PF/PNF duties may be exchanged during flight. The pilot relinquishing PF duties will announce; "YOU
HAVE CONTROL". The pilot assuming control will announce; "I HAVE CONTROL".

2.0-2 CHAPTER 2

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 NORMAL PROCEDURES

2.0.2.6 Communications
ATC Communications:
The PNF will normally handle all communications with ATC unless otherwise directed by the PF.
Flight Deck / Cabin Crew Communications:
The PF will normally handle all communications with the cabin crew.
For normal communication use the CALL button to contact the cabin crew. The Senior Cabin Crew Member will
come to the flight deck or respond on the interphone.
During emergency situations, standardized communication between the Pilots and the Cabin Crew Member(s)
is essential. The following is a list of the standard communications to be used during emergency operations.
Table 2.0-1 Flight Deck / Cabin Crew Communications
Action Required Signal
Notify cabin crew of an emergency PA: "SENIOR CABIN CREW MEMBER TO THE

CHAPTER 2 2.0-3

NORMAL PROCEDURES [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

2.0.3 Normal Checklists


2.0.3.1 Use of Checklists
The normal checklists are organized by phase of flight and assume completion of the previous checklist.
An un-shaded box separating procedural steps (i.e. START APPROVED), defines a logical break that allows
partial completion of the checklist until further action is appropriate.
When the required checklist has been completed, the PNF will announce the appropriate checklist complete,
e.g.: "AFTER TAKE-OFF CHECKLIST COMPLETE".
When the response to a particular checklist item is "as req’d" the actual response will be positive and the action
required will be stated, such as: "ON", "OFF", "CLOSED", etc.

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 NORMAL PROCEDURES

2.0.4 Auto Flight Control System (AFCS)


2.0.4.1 Flight Director
To reduce crew work load and improve safety, use of the Flight Director / Autopilot is recommended from initial
climb out to final approach. During normal operations the PF should select the Flight Guidance Controller
(FGC) to his or her side. Selected AFCS modes must be confirmed on the PFD’s.
When the PF controls the aeroplane manually, the PNF normally selects the AFCS modes as directed by the
PF.
2.0.4.2 Use of Flight Director
The Flight Director should be used for most phases of flight. When the Flight Director is being used, care must
be taken to ensure it is providing correct commands.
2.0.4.3 Autopilot
When the PF engages or disengages the Autopilot (AP) he or she should announce: "AP ENGAGED" or "AP
DISENGAGED".
When the Autopilot is engaged the PF should control all AFCS modes.
Minimum height for Autopilot engagement after take-off or go-around is 1000 ft AGL.
Select flight guidance modes as required.
AP pushbutton...........................................................................................................................................Press
Check AP advisory pointers illuminate and AP is displayed on PFD’s.

NOTES:
1. In the event of an engine failure disengage the autopilot.
Except for approach, the autopilot may be re-engaged following re-trimming.
2. If HSI transfer is selected, all flight guidance modes will disengage and the autopilot will
revert to basic lateral and pitch modes.
Re-select flight guidance modes as required following HSI transfer.
3. With the autopilot engaged, POWER and SPEED changes may require the pilot to manu-
ally re-trim the rudder. Trimming should be accomplished with TCS button pressed or auto-
pilot disengaged.
4. If FD XXX (NAV or ADC) DATA INVLD message appears on PFD, select an alternative
flight guidance mode or press STBY on FGCP to clear the message.
5. With MS 4-126360 incorporated: To de-select altitude select mode, press and hold the ALT
SEL pushbutton for greater than 1 second.
2.0.4.4 Autopilot Operation in Turbulence
Disengage Autopilot in severe turbulence. The Autopilot is approved for normal operations in light or moderate
turbulence only.
2.0.4.5 Autopilot Approach
Flap should be extended to approach setting 5°, 10° or 15° before glide slope capture on a precision approach
or before commencing final descent to minimum descent altitude (MDA).
2.0.4.6 Altitude Select
Changes of selected altitude should be followed by selection of Altitude Select (ALT SEL) on the FGC (unless
the ALT SEL has already been selected). ALT SEL shall be visually confirmed by both pilots on the PFD’s.

2.0.5 Navigation Systems

NOTE: VOR symbol may not always be visible on the navigation page of the MFD. With FMS off or
not installed, two pushes on the EFCP DATA button are required to return the VOR Navaid
symbol to the NAV page.
2.0.5.1 Flight Management System
For specific FMS operational information, please refer to the respective AFM Supplement and the FMS Opera-
tor’s Manual.

CHAPTER 2 2.0-5

NORMAL PROCEDURES [Rev. 1] 21 NOV 2011

2.0.6 Standard Callouts


Safety demands that crew members remain aware of airplane position, altitude, and instrument indications
during flight.
One method of achieving this is to adopt a system of standard calls to reduce ambiguity and to minimize con-
versation during critical phases of flight, i.e. take-off, approach and landing.
It is recommended that crews refrain from all non-essential and distracting conversation below 10000 ft ASL.
Tables 2.0-4 to 2.0-7, outline a series of standard calls, which shall be used to enhance safety during VFR and
IFR operations.
The PNF shall make the appropriate call, based on instrument indications or observations for the condition out-
lined in the table and the PF shall verify and acknowledge the call.
If the PNF does not make the required callout, then the PF shall make it.

CHAPTER 2 2.6-1

NORMAL PROCEDURES [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

2.6 APPROACH, LANDING PREPARATION AND BRIEFING

2.6.1 Approach Briefing


The Approach Briefing is a plan of action for the approach, landing and possible missed approach. Proper
planning will normally permit the Approach Briefing to be accomplished prior to entering busy terminal air-
space.

NOTE: Approaching destination, the crew shall re-evaluate the weather situation and recalculate the
required landing distance.
The Approach Briefing will be given by the PF and should consist of at least the following:
1. Terrain situation (MEA, MGA)
2. Type of approach/RWY in use
3. Radio/Nav set up
4. Minimum Sector Altitude
5. Initial Approach Altitude/Descent point
6. Runway condition/landing distance
7. Special aspects (e.g. taxi procedure, system malfunctions,...).
Following items shall be briefed “by heart”:
1. Final Altitude
2. MDA/Descent Altitude/Decision Height
3. Missed Approach Procedure including Missed Approach Point.
The approach speed is based on the minimum speed which can be flown with approach flap configuration
(VAPP = 1.23 VSR with approach flap). Landing speeds are based on the minimum speed which can be flown
with the landing flap configuration (VREF = 1.23 VSR with landing flap).

NOTE: The solid bug is set to VREF and the outline bug is set to VGA.
The Approach Check should be initiated not less than 25 nautical miles prior to commencing the approach, or
through 10000 ft.

2.6.2 Use of Flaps


The flap setting for landing may either be 10°, 15° or 35°. The flap setting is confirmed by checking the flap
indication on the #2 MFD.

2.6.3 Flight Director Setup (TBD)

2.6.8 Engine Torque Split Between Engines


At low engine power settings, normally associated with descent and approach, an indicated torque difference
between the two engines is not considered abnormal.
The degree of torque difference will depend on the engine gas generator matching, accuracy of POWER lever
matching and the ambient operating conditions.
The torque difference will be more pronounced if one engine is operating with its Handling Bleed-off Valve
(HBOV) open while the other engine is operating with its HBOV closed.

NORMAL PROCEDURES [Rev. 9] 28 FEB 2014

2.7 NORMAL LANDING

2.7.1 General
At or prior to reaching the point where the aircraft will be maneuvered for final approach and landing, the air-
craft will normally be configured at Flap 5.
On final approach, the PF is to, at their discretion, command the landing gear, flaps and condition levers to the
required position for the subsequent landing. Once the aircraft is configured for landing, the PF is to call for the
"LANDING CHECKLIST" (Challenge and Response).

2.7.2 Landing
When established on final approach:
Landing Gear ................................................................................................................................. DN / 3 Green
Check 3 green gear locked down advisory lights are illuminated, all amber doors open, red gear unlocked and
selector lever advisory lights out.
Flap Selector...................................................................................................................................___ Set / ind
Move the flap selector to the detent for the desired approach flap (Flap 15° or 10° or 5° depending on approach
climb WAT requirements). Check flap indication on #2 MFD.
Condition Levers.........................................................................................................................................MAX
Move Condition Levers to the MAX detent (if using Reduced NP for landing, first press the RDC NP button on
the Engine Control panel then move the Condition Levers to MAX within 15 sec).
Minimum Airspeed ................................................................................................................. Approach Speed
Reduce to approach speed.
Bleed Air 1 and 2 .........................................................................................................................MIN / As req’d
Set Bleed selector to MIN and Bleed 1 and 2 switches Off (Bleed 1 and 2 switches remain On if conducting a
"Bleed On" landing).
Flap Selector...................................................................................................................................___ Set / ind
Move the flap selector to the detent for the desired landing flap (Flap 35° or 15° or 10° depending on landing
WAT requirements). Check flap indication on #2 MFD.
Minimum Airspeed ......................................................................................................................................VREF
Reduce airspeed to VREF then fly a stable approach with small corrections regarding control inputs and power
to maintain runway centerline and glidepath.
NOTE: The landing performance given in Sub-Chapter 4.4, assumes that the appropriate VREF is
achieved by 50 ft AGL.
Commence flare and adjust power to achieve positive ground contact with minimum descent rate at the
desired point on the runway.
POWER Levers ............................................................................................FLIGHT IDLE prior to touchdown
then DISC after touchdown
• Check PROPELLER GROUND RANGE advisory lights illuminate.
• Check ROLL OUTBD and ROLL INBD SPOILER advisory lights on at mainwheel contact.

CAUTION: Pitch attitudes greater than 6° in the landing flare may cause the fuselage to contact the
runway.

NOTES: 1. To decrease the landing descent rate and not exceed a pitch attitude of 6° when the landing
descent rate is higher than desired, power will be required in the landing flare through to
touchdown.

2. To decrease the landing descent rate at airport altitudes greater than 5000 ft, it may be
necessary to maintain power in the landing flare through to touchdown.
The nosewheel should be promptly brought into contact with the ground following mainwheel contact.
Anti-Skid Brakes .................................................................................................................................. As req’d
Apply Anti-Skid braking as required to decelerate the aircraft within the available runway.

CHAPTER 2 2.7-3

NORMAL PROCEDURES [Rev. 9] 28 FEB 2014

2.7.3 Crosswind Landing Technique


Crosswind landing is based on the steady state wing down / zero crab technique, i.e. approach and touch
down with upwind wing lowered, using rudder to align airplane with runway.
Following touch down hold nosewheel on runway with elevators and use lateral control to inhibit any upwind
wing lifting.

2.7.4 Normal Landing in Tailwinds between 10 and 20 kt


2.7.4.1 General
At the option of the operator, landings in tailwinds between 10 and 20 kts may be conducted in accordance with
the limitations, procedures and performance data contained in the respective chapters of this AOM and AFM
Supplement 3.

NOTE: Maintain the appropriate VREF airspeed throughout the approach and the landing.
The landing flare angle will be less than that required for a normal, into wind landing.

2.7.5 Noise Abatement Procedures


(Landing with 850 RPM Propeller)
2.7.5.1 General

2.9 OPERATION ON CONTAMINATED RUNWAYS


This section corresponds to Supplement 37 of the AFM.

2.9.1 General
The general information in Chapter 0 is applicable with the addition of the following:
a. This information has been prepared by the manufacturer and approved as guidance material to assist
operators in developing suitable guidance, recommendations or instructions for use by their flight crews
when operating on wet or contaminated runway surface conditions.
b. The data have been prepared using reasonable estimates of the effects of wet and contaminated run-
way conditions on the accelerating ground roll and the braking ground roll. The effects of actual condi-
tions may differ from those used to establish the data.
c. The performance information assumes any standing water, slush or loose snow to be of uniform depth
and density.
d. The level of safety is decreased when operating on contaminated runways and therefore every effort
should be made to ensure that the runway surface is cleared of any significant contaminant.
e. The provision of performance information for contaminated runways should not be taken as implying
that ground handling characteristics on these surfaces will be as good as can be achieved on dry or wet
runways, in particular, in crosswinds and when using reverse thrust.
2.9.1.1 Definitions
Runway Contaminated A runway is considered to be contaminated when more than 25% of the runway sur-
by Standing Water, face area (whether in isolated areas or not) within the required length and width
Slush or Loose Snow being used, is covered by standing water, slush or loose snow.
NOTE: Runways with water depths, slush or loose snow less than 3 mm (0.125 in), may be
considered not contaminated provided braking is considered good.
Runway Contaminated A runway is considered to be contaminated when completely covered by snow
by Compacted Snow which has been compressed into a solid mass which resists further compression.
Runway Contaminated A runway is considered to be contaminated when, due to the presence of wet ice,
by Wet Ice the braking effectiveness is expected to be very low.
VGO* The lowest decision speed from which a continued take-off is possible within the
take-off run and take-off distance required.
VSTOP* The highest decision speed from which the aircraft can stop within the accelerate-
stop distance required.
NOTE: * Under the JAR-OPS1 regulations only one single V1 value for the
rejected and continued take-off is permitted. This is why the data in
Sub-Chapter 4.1 only show Vgo/VR = 1 for take-off and VSTOP/VR =
1 for accelerate-stop.
Take-off Distance The take-off distance on a contaminated runway is the longer of:
a. 115% of the distance from the start of the take-off roll to the point at which
the airplane attains a height of 35 feet above the take-off surface, with all
engines operating.
b. The distance from the start of the take.off roll to the point at which the air-
plane attains a height of at least 15 feet above the take-off surface, with crit-
ical engine failure such that the failure would be recognized at the Decision
Speed VGO.
Take-off Run The take-off run on a contaminated runway is equal to the take-off distance on con-
taminated runway.
(cont’d on next page)

AOM DASH 8-Q400


2.9-2 CHAPTER 2

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 NORMAL PROCEDURES

Definitions (cont’d)
Accelerate-Stop The accelerate-stop distance on a contaminated runway is the longer of:
a. Accelerate-stop distance with an engine failure at VEF as defined below:
i) The distance necessary to accelerate the airplane from a standing start
to VEF with all engines operating plus:
ii) The distance required to accelerate the airplane from VEF to VSTOP
assuming the critical engine fails at VEF plus;
iii) The distance required to come to a full stop from the point reached at
the end of the acceleration period described in paragraph a. ii) above
assuming that the pilot does not apply any means of retarding the air-
plane until that point is reached and that the critical engine is still inoper-
ative, plus:
iv) A distance margin equal to 2.0 seconds at VSTOP
b. Accelerate-stop distance with all engines operating as defined below:
i) The distance necessary to accelerate the airplane from a standing start
to VSTOP with all engines operating plus:
ii) The distance required to come to a full stop from the point reached at
the end of the acceleration period described in paragraph b. i) above,
assuming that the pilot does not apply any means of retarding the air-
plane until that point is reached and that all engines are still operating,
plus:
iii) A distance margin equal t~ 2.0 seconds at VSTOP
WED The water equivalent depth of contaminant = the depth of water producing an equiv-
alent performance effect as that of contaminant of lower specific gravity. WED for
take-off is not based on contaminant depth x specific gravity and must be deter-
mined in accordance with Section 4.1.4.
For further definitions and performance data regarding take-off on wet and contaminated runways, refer to
chapter 4, Performance.

2.9.2 Limitations
The limitations in Chapter 1 are applicable with the addition of the following:
2.9.2.1 Operations
1. Take-off with reduced power is prohibited on contaminated runways.
2.9.2.2 Operation From Runways Contaminated with Standing Water, Slush or Loose Snow
1. Maximum operating altitude for take-off and landing is 6,000 ft ASL.
2. The maximum permitted WED of contaminant is 15 mm (0.59 in).
3. The maximum permitted depth of contaminant is 6 cm (2.4 in).
4. For WED greater than 3 mm (0.125 in): selection of power levers aft of DISC is prohibited.
5. The maximum crosswind component for take-off and landing is 14 kt.
2.9.2.3 Operation From Runways Contaminated with Compacted Snow:
1. The maximum crosswind component for take-off and landing is 20 kt.

2.9.3 Normal Procedures


The normal procedures in Chapter 2 are applicable with the addition of the following:

CAUTION: Operation in crosswinds on runways contaminated with wet ice is not recommended.

2.9.4 Performance Data


The performance data in Chapter 4 and compatible supplements are applicable with the addition of the follow-
ing:

NOTE: Compatible supplement performance penalties are cumulative.

NOTE: Where applicable, the performance factor of the compatible supplement must be applied to the
calculated performance data in chapter 4 prior to applying corrections of this supplement.
2.9.4.1 Take-off Performance on a Contaminated Runway:

NOTE: Tests in water of 19 mm (0.75 in) average depth have shown that there is no spray
impingement on engine intakes or tail surfaces at any speed up to lift-off, from either main or
nose wheels. Some spray from the nosewheel and propellers impinges on the lower surface of
the fuselage, nosewheel well, nacelles, and inboard wing and flap.

NORMAL PROCEDURES [Rev. 9] 28 FEB 2014

2.11 AIRWORK and BASIC FLIGHT TECHNIQUES

2.11.1 Steep Turns

2.11.1.1 Objective

This maneuver familiarizes the pilot with airplane handling characteristics and helps to improve the instrument
cross check.

2.11.1.2 Description

Steep Turns (45° of bank) will be practiced in both directions at 180 kt.

Apply back pressure, as required, to maintain altitude and increase torque, as required, to maintain airspeed.

Power settings during Steep Turns are the responsibility of the PF.

The PF has the option to use the PNF to set power.

However, it is essential that very precise calls be made, e.g. “increase power 10%”.

2.11.1.3 Entry

Stabilize the airplane in trim at the desired speed, heading and altitude.

Enter the Steep Turn with the same roll rate as a normal turn.

As bank angle is increased apply back pressure as required to maintain altitude and increase power as
required to maintain airspeed.

2.11.1.4 During Turn

Maintain a rapid scan so that deviations will be detected early enough to require only small corrections.

2.11.1.5 Rollout

Rollout should be initiated 10° to 15° prior to target heading.

Roll out of the turn at the same rate as a normal turn.

As bank angle is decreased reduce back pressure as required to maintain altitude and decrease power as
required to maintain airspeed.

2.11.1.6 Completion Standard

For the purposes of determining proficiency, two 360° Steep Turns (one in each direction) will be conducted to
the following standard:

Airspeed (180 kt)  10 kt


Bank Angle (45°)  5°
Altitude  100 ft
Heading  10°

2.11.2 Steep Turns


2.11.2.1 Objective
This maneuver familiarizes the pilot with aeroplane handling characteristics and helps to improve the instru-
ment cross check.
2.11.2.2 Description
Steep turns (45° of bank) will be practiced in both directions at various airspeeds with Condition Levers set at
1020 RPM. Apply back pressure, as required, to maintain altitude and increase torque, as required, to maintain
airspeed.
Power settings during steep turns are the responsibility of the PF. The PF has the option to use the PNF to set
power. However, it is essential that very precise calls be made, e.g.: “increase power 10%”.
2.11.2.3 Entry
Stabilize the aeroplane in trim at the desired speed, heading and altitude. Enter the steep turn with the same
roll rate as a normal turn. As bank angle is increased apply back pressure as required to maintain altitude and
increase power as required to maintain airspeed.
2.11.2.4 During Turn
Maintain a rapid scan so that deviations will be detected early enough to require only small corrections.
2.11.2.5 Rollout
Rollout should be initiated 10° to 15° prior to target heading. Roll out of the turn at the same rate as a normal
turn. As bank angle is decreased reduce back pressure as required to maintain altitude, and decrease power
as required to maintain airspeed.
2.11.2.6 Completion Standard
For the purposes of determining proficiency, two 360° steep turns (one in each direction) will be conducted to
the following standard:
Airspeed (170 knots) ±10 knots
Angle of bank (45°) ±5°
Altitude ±100 ft

2.15.1 Airplane Contamination on the Ground - Frost, Ice or Snow

Air regulation stipulate that take-off is prohibited when frost, ice or snow is adhering to any critical surface of
the airplane.
This principle is referred to as “the clean airplane concept” and is essential to the maintenance of flight
safety.
Regardless of the de-icing and anti-icing procedures used, the only method of ensuring flight safety in icing
conditions is by inspecting critical airplane surfaces and ensuring that they are clean before take-off.
The PIC has the ultimate responsibility to determine whether or not the airplane is safe to fly.
Frost less than 3 mm in depth is permitted on the underside of the fuel tank area of the wing.
This poses no concern.
The frost accumulation will dissipate as of post engine start, due to heat transfer from the fuel tanks.
A thin layer of hoar frost on the upper surface of the fuselage is not considered to be critical and can remain on the
fuselage for take-off.
Provided all vents and ports are clear of the frost and it is possible to distinguish fuselage surface features (markings
and lines).

NOTE: The above mentioned documents complement each other and should be used together.
It is the responsibility of the end user to periodically check the Transport Canada website for
updates on HOT Guidelines.

2.15.2 Ground De-Icing / Anti-Icing

DE-ICING is a procedure by which frost, ice or snow is removed from the airplane by applying hot water or a
hot mixture of water and de-icing / anti-icing fluid.
De-icing using infrared energy is an alternative procedure for removing frozen precipitation.
It is accomplished through heat that breaks the bond of adhering frozen contamination.
De-icing with forced air (alone or with injected fluid) is used to remove most of the contamination from aircraft
surfaces.
It will reduce de-icing times and fluid quantities, but it will not provide a clean wing for take-off.

ANTI-ICING consists of the application of a mixture of an anti-icing fluid or a mixture of anti-icing fluid and
water to the airplane to protect against the accumulation and adherence of frost, ice or snow to airplane sur-
faces before the condition exists.

TYPE I FLUIDS are used for de-icing and anti-icing, but provide very limited anti-icing protection.

TYPE II FLUIDS are “thickened” and are designed to be deposited in a thicker film and to remain on the air-
plane surfaces until the time of take-off.
TYPE II fluids are used for de-icing (when heated) and anti-icing and provide greater protection than do TYPE I
fluids against frost, ice or snow formation in conditions conducive to airplane on the ground.
Because of its flow-off characteristics it is not considered suitable for airplane with rotation speeds < 100 kt.
TYPE III FLUIDS are a “thickened” fluid that has properties that lie between TYPES I and II.
Because of its flow-off characteristics it is considered acceptable for airplane with rotation speeds below 100 kt

TYPE IV FLUIDS are similar to TYPE II fluids with a marked increase in holdover time capabilities.

ONE-STEP DE-ICING / ANTI-ICING consists of the application full strength or water diluted de-icing / anti-
icing fluid, heated as necessary considering the ambient temperature and weather condition, to both remove
and protect the surfaces from frost, ice or snow adherence and accumulation.

TWO-STEP DE-ICING / ANTI-ICING consists of de-icing with hot water only or a hot mixture of water diluted
de-icing / anti-icing fluid, followed immediately by anti-icing with an overspray of anti-icing fluid.
Care must be taken not to allow the airplane surfaces to re-freeze between the de-icing and anti-icing pro-
cesses.
To prevent re-freezing, the first mixture (de-icing) fluid concentration may have to be increased appropriate to
local conditions.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


2.15-2 CHAPTER 2

[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015 NORMAL PROCEDURES

NOTE: When anti-icing with SAE Type II, III and IV anti-icing fluids, it is strongly recommended that
the operator use the two-step de-icing / anti-icing procedure, the first step with heated water,
and / or heated SAE Type I de-icing fluid.

HOLDOVER TIME is the estimated time which anti-icing fluid will prevent ice, snow and / or frost from forming
or accumulating on the treated surfaces of an airplane.
The protection time is dependent upon the weather conditions and fluid mixture selected and cannot be pre-
cisely determined for each application.
Guidelines have been published for HOT under varying atmospheric conditions, however, it must be empha-
sized that the best method to ensure a clean airplane is to inspect after treatment and just prior to take-off.
If any frost, ice or snow is adhering to a critical surface, re-treatment must be requested.

While in most operations de-icing / anti-icing of the airplane is supervised by the maintenance organization, the
following precautions are presented to familiarize flight crews with potential problem areas:
a. De-icing / anti-icing fluid concentration must be adjusted for OAT before application to the airplane.
To determine the mixture percentage of de-icing / anti-icing fluid to water that should be used at a
given temperature, refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for the particular fluid;
b. It is strongly recommended Not to operate the Engines and APU during the de-icing / anti-icing proce-
dure.
If it is necessary to have the engines running for operational reasons, select bleed air off to avoid send-
ing fumes into the cabin.
c. Do Not spray de-icing / anti-icing fluid directly into Engine or APU Inlets, Exhausts, Probe Inlets,
Scoops, Vents, Drains or other areas where the fluids may pool.
d. Do Not direct a solid stream of fluid perpendicular to airplane surfaces as a high pressure stream of
fluid can damage airplane surfaces.
Also, Do Not spray fluid directly on flight compartment windows and Do Not spray hot fluid directly on
cold windows;
e. Do Not force ice and snow into openings around flight control surfaces where it may re-freeze later;
f. Both right and left sides of the wing and horizontal stabilizer must receive the same thorough de-icing /
anti-icing treatment.
g. When using infrared energy to de-ice, wet surfaces require an application of heated de-icing fluids to
preclude refreezing after removal of infrared energy source.
h. When using infrared energy other than to remove frost or leading edge ice and when OAT is at or
below 0°C (32°F), an additional treatment with hot de-icing fluid shall be preformed within the infrared
de-icing facility to prevent re-freezing of water, which may remain in hidden areas.
i. If the aircraft requires re-de-icing and the de-icing / anti-icing fluids had been applied before flight, con-
ventional de-icing / anti-icing with fluids shall be preformed before entering the infrared de-icing facility.
j. The use of forced air alone to remove wet snow, especially during snowfall and cold outside air, is not
a feasible alternative for either a two-step de-icing or a one-step de-icing procedure.
k. The forced air and fluid combination to remove wet snow will produce a clean wing but the time to re-
freeze is very short.
Following de-icing / anti-icing, it is the PIC who is ultimately responsible to see that the airplane is free of snow,
ice and frost; that pitot heads, static ports, fuel tank vents, air conditioning inlets / exits and landing gear doors
are clear of snow, ice and slush.
“Clear Ice”, which is difficult to detect, can be present below the layer of water and fluid remaining on the sur-
face of the airplane and may require inspection by touch.
If any doubt remains as to the aerodynamic readiness of airplane, request re-treatment.
Residual fluid on the airplane following de-icing / anti-icing treatment may result in detrimental effects on han-
dling and performance.
The magnitude of these effects, with the original de-icing fluid formulations (TYPE I fluids), was generally not
an operational problem.
With the advent of TYPE II, TYPE III and TYPE IV fluids, this is no longer true.
In general, the cruise, descent, approach and landing phases of flight are not affected by the use of de-icing or
anti-icing fluids.
When the airplane has been sprayed with de-icing and / or anti-icing fluids, the take-off procedures, distances
and reference speeds shall be adjusted as per Sub-Chapter 4.7.

• Do Not spray hot fluid directly on cold windows.
• Do Not spray high-pressure fluid perpendicular to airplane surfaces.
• Avoid forcing snow / ice into parings around flight control surfaces.

2.15.3.2 Flap Configuration During Anti-Icing / De-Icing Procedures

Two possible options are: delaying flap deployment until just prior to take-off or deploying the flaps prior to de-
icing / anti-icing so that the surfaces under these flaps are treated.
With the second option, the holdover time and allowance time will be reduced due to the steeper angles of the
flap in the deployed configuration.
In this situation, it is acceptable to use the 90% adjusted holdover / allowance times.
Delaying the flap deployment may be the preferred option for optimum protection from ice buildup.
If it is necessary to remove contamination from the flaps, it may be best to deploy the flaps for de-icing and
anti-icing and then retract them prior to taxi.

2.15.3.3 Post-Fluid Application

Critical Areas ........................................................................................................................................ Inspect


• Ensure the following:
- Airplane free of snow, ice and frost
- Control surfaces clean

snow / ice.
NOTE: Following the application of de-icing or anti-icing fluids, it is strongly recommended that the
pilot conduct a slow control throw of the elevator and aileron / spoiler control circuits.
Move the control column and control wheel in both directions to the control stops.
Should a restriction of the controls or an unusual control force be noted, a take-off must not be
conducted until the affected control is inspected for ice contamination and if required, another
application of de-icing or anti-icing fluid is applied.

- SAE Low Speed Type III
may be used full strength (or diluted per the fluid manufacturer’s instructions) over the fluid manufacturer’s
recommended temperature range, under the following conditions:
(1) All approved take-off flap settings
(2) Rotation should be smooth and at a normal rate, “Avoid Rapid Rotation”.
(3) No correction to the take-off distances and speeds is needed.

NOTE: For SAE High Speed Type III apply the performance corrections of Paragraph B below.

B. Fluids which meet the SAE High Speed Aerodynamic Acceptance Test for the following specifications:
- SAE Type I
- SAE Type II
- SAE Type IV
may be used full strength (or diluted per the fluid manufacturer’s instructions) over the fluid manufacturer’s
recommended temperature range, under the following conditions:
(1) All approved take-off flap settings.
(2) Rotation should be smooth and at a normal rate. “Avoid Rapid Rotation”.
(3) Take-off distances available and corresponding speeds must be corrected by the margins as shown in
Table 1 in Sub-Chapter 4.7.3.
(4) Where close-in obstacle(s) impact the second climb segment, the increased V2 is to be maintained to a
gross height of 400 ft AGL.
Thereafter the uncorrected V2 must be flown to the end of the second climb segment.
For all other cases, the increased V2 may be continued to the end of the second climb segment.

C. SAE Type I fluids containing ethylene glycol at full strength or diluted and di-ethylene glycol or propylene
glycol when diluted 50 / 50 or more with water may be used with any flap setting over the fluid manufac-
turer’s recommended temperature ranges for these mixtures.

No correction to the take-off distances and speeds is needed.

In all cases de-icing / anti-icing fluids do not affect the following phases of flight:
• Cruise
• Descent
• Approach
• Landing

2.15.4.1 Holdover Times (HOT)

Holdover Time is the estimated time which anti-icing fluid will prevent ice, snow and / or frost from forming or
collecting on the treated surfaces of the airplane.

Factors that reduce HOT:


• Where conditions are worse than those given in the tables times may be reduced to the point of suspen-
sion of operations,
• High wind velocity
• Jet blast
• Aircraft skin temperature significantly lower than OAT
• Moisture content of snow, i.e. large snowflakes may produce higher than expected precipitation rates

The definition of Lowest Operational Use Temperature (LOUT) for a given fluid is the higher (warmer) of:
- the lowest temperature at which the fluid meets the aerodynamic acceptance test (according to AS 5900)
for a given type of aircraft (high or low speed), or
- the actual freezing point of the fluid plus its freezing point buffer of:
→ 10°C (18°F) - for a Type I fluid, or
→ 7°C (13°F) - for a Type II, III or IV fluid.

For applicable values refer to the fluid manufacturer’s documentation.

NOTE: Fluid manufacturers state that a fluid must not be used when the Outside Air Temperature

If necessary, the second step shall be applied area by area.)

NOTES:

• This table is applicable for the use of Type I HOT Guidelines in all conditions including active frost.
If HOT are not required, a temperature of 60°C (140°F) at the nozzle is desirable.

• If HOT are required, the temperature of water or fluid / water mixtures shall be at least 60°C (140°F) at the
nozzle.
Upper temperature limit shall not exceed fluid and aircraft manufacturers’ recommendations.

• To use Type I HOT Guidelines in all conditions including active frost, an additional minimum of
1 L/m2 (~ 2 gal/100 ft2) of heated Type I fluid mixture must be applied to the surfaces after all frozen con-
tamination is removed.
This application is necessary to heat the surfaces, as heat contributes significantly to the Type I fluid HOT.
The required protection can be provided using a 1-step method by applying more fluid than is strictly
needed to just remove all of the frozen contamination (the same additional amount stated above is
required).

• The LOUT for a given Type I fluid is the higher (warmer) of:
a) The lowest temperature at which the fluid meets the aerodynamic acceptance test for a given
aircraft type, or
b) The actual freezing point of the fluid plus its freezing point buffer of 10°C (18°F)

CAUTION: Wing skin temperatures may differ and in some cases may be lower than OAT;
a stronger mix (more glycol) may be needed under these conditions.

1
Fluids must not be used at temperatures below their LOUT.
Consider the use of Type I when Type III fluid cannot be used (see Sub-Chapter 2.15.4.4).
The LOUT for a given Type III fluid is the higher (warmer) of:
a) The lowest temperature at which the fluid meets the aerodynamic acceptance test for a given aircraft
type;
b) The actual freezing point of the fluid plus its freezing point buffer of 7°C (13°F); or
c) For diluted Type III fluid, the coldest temperature for which holdover times are published.
2
To be applied before first step fluid freezes, typically within 3 min.
(This time may be longer than 3 min in some conditions, but potentially shorter in heavy precipitation, in
colder temperatures or for critical surfaces constructed of composite materials.
If necessary, the second step shall be applied area by area.)
3 For heated fluids, a fluid temperature not less than 60°C (140°F) at the nozzle is desirable.
4
One-step procedure with unheated Type III fluid is only possible on a clean aircraft.
If de-icing is required, a two-step procedure must be used.

NOTES:
• Upper temperature limit shall not exceed fluid and aircraft manufactures’ recommendations.

CAUTIONS:

• Wing skin temperatures may differ and in some cases may be lower than OAT;
a stronger mix (more glycol) may be needed under these conditions.
• Whenever frost or ice occurs on the lower surface of the wing in the area of the fuel tank, indicating
a cold soaked wing, the 50 / 50 dilutions of Type III should not be used for the anti-icing step
because fluid freezing may occur.
• An insufficient amount of anti-icing fluid may cause a substantial loss of HOT.
This is particularly true when using a Type I fluid mixture for the first step in a two-step procedure.

HOW TO READ THE TABLE

This visibility table applies to all fluid Types I, II, III and IV.

Assume that the daytime visibility in snowfall is 1.6 km (1 SM) and the temperature is - 7°C (19°F).

Based on these conditions, the snowfall intensity is light.

This snowfall intensity is used to determine which HOT Guideline value is appropriate for the fluid in use.

CHAPTER 2 2.16-1

NORMAL PROCEDURES [Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015

2.16 Operating in Icing Conditions

ICING CONDITIONS exist when:

• the Static Air Temperature (SAT) on the ground and for take-off is 10°C (50°F) or below, or

• the SAT in flight is 5°C (41°F) or below, and

• visible moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of one statute mile or less, rain,
snow, sleet or ice crystals).

• ice accretion on aerodynamic surfaces is not considered to exist at temperatures of - 40°C or below.

Icing Conditions also exist when:

• the SAT on the ground and for take-off is 10°C or below when operating on ramps, taxiways or runways
where surface snow, ice, standing water or slush may be ingested by the engines or freeze on engines,
nacelles or engine sensor probes.

As with any meteorological hazard, the most effective procedure is to stay away from the known areas
involved.

WARNING:

SEVERE ICING CONDITIONS:

Flight into freezing rain, freezing drizzle or mixed icing conditions (super-cooled liquid water and ice
crystals) may result in ice build-up on protected surfaces, exceeding the capability of the ice protec-
tion 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.
Severe icing conditions may be encountered during flight in visible rain with the SAT below 0°C ambi-
ent temperature and specifically with droplets that are large enough to splash or splatter on impact.
Severe icing may be identified by unusually extensive ice accreted on the airframe in areas not nor-
mally observed to collect ice or ice is accreted on the side windows of the flight compartment aft of the
leading edge.

An Accumulation of ice on lifting surfaces of the airplane may change the stall characteristics, stall
speed or warning margin provided by the stall warning system.
The presence of ice on the airframe increases airplane drag and mass.
Ice on the propellers decreases their efficiency and thus the thrust available from the engines.
Ice build-up on engine probes can result in erroneous engine FADEC operation or flight compartment
indications.
Finally, ice ingestion by the engine or inlet flow distortions due to ice build-up on the intakes, can
cause engine surging or flameouts.
To provide the largest safety margin possible for the airplane encountering icing conditions, it is nec-
essary to operate the de-icing / anti-icing systems and fly the airplane as per the procedures of Chap-
ter 2 of this AOM.
Details of performance penalties in icing condition are provided in Chapter 4.
Elaboration on the AOM procedures is provided below.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


2.16-2 CHAPTER 2

[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015 NORMAL PROCEDURES

2.16.1 Taxi

Ensure the following anti-ice systems are selected

PITOT STATIC STBY, 1 & 2 ...................................................................................................................... ON


ENG INTAKE BYPASS DOORS ................................................................................................ OPEN / HTR

During taxi on slush covered surfaces, where possible, minimize taxi speeds to below 10 kt.
Faster taxi speeds increase the chance of slush / contaminate entering the nose wheel bay.
Where possible, avoid taxiing through deep slush.
Avoid using excessive power to taxi airplane as this may tend to displace any anti-icing fluid applied.
Also, avoid using reverse power on snow or slush covered runways, taxiways or ramps unless absolutely nec-
essary, as snow, slush or water can become airborne and adhere to wing surfaces.
Allow a greater than normal distance between airplane to account for poor braking and turning performance on
slippery surfaces.
This will also reduce the possibility of snow or slush being blown back into the airplane or hot exhaust gases
melting snow on your airplane from which re-freezing may occur.

2.16.2 Take-Off

Before take-off into icing conditions, select all anti-ice systems, except airframe de-ice, as follows:

ENG INTAKE BYPASS DOORS ................................................................................................ OPEN / HTR


PROP TMR ............................................................................................................................................... ON
DEICE PRESS ................................................................................................................... Check 18 ± 3 psi
WINDSHIELD HEAT ........................................................................................................................... NORM

Selection of the REF SPEEDS switch raises the stall warning threshold, therefore, airspeed must be
INCREASED to maintain adequate margin over stall warning following take-off and prior to selection of the
switch to ON at 400 ft AGL.
Refer to Sub-Chapter 4.7 of the AOM for the appropriate values.
Failure to increase speed may result in stall warning.
Before moving into position, re-check that the airplane is free of ice, snow or frost.
Before brake release, check for stable engine operation.
After setting take-off power, check to see that flight compartment indicators are normal.

NOTE: The following performance implications must be considered for take-offs into icing conditions:

- The AC generator electrical demand by the anti-icing systems takes power away from the propeller gear
box, reducing net engine power available to the airplane.
This results in increased take-off field lengths and reduced climb gradients and MAT limits.
- In addition to the reduction in net engine power due to electrical loads, the increased take-off speeds
above 400 ft due to stall warning margins also degrade airplane performance.
The combination of these factors results in decreased Final Take-off Climb gradients and increased 3rd
segment distances.

For take-off on slush covered surfaces, accelerate through 40 kt IAS as rapidly as possible

NOTE: Following ground manoeuvering on taxiways and runways contaminated with slush, where the
taxi and take-off precautions, as described in Sub-Chapters 3.3.6.1 and 3.3.6.2, were not
followed and Nose Wheel Bay contamination is suspected, consider cycling the landing gear a
minimum of 2 times after take-off.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 2 2.16-3

NORMAL PROCEDURES [Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015

2.16.3 Enroute, Climb, Cruise and Descent

Before entering icing conditions or when “ICE DETECTED” message appears on the ED select all anti-ice sys-
tems and REF SPEEDS to INCR.
In Icing Conditions monitor accumulation of ice on the airframe.
Operate the airframe de-ice system in FAST or SLOW depending on the rate of accumulation.
Do not wait for ice to build up before selecting airframe de-ice.
Climb no slower than Enroute Climb Speed (VCLIMB) + 20 KIAS and, cruise and descend no slower than Flap
1.23 VS + 25 KIAS to account for the increase in stall speed of the airplane with ice accumulated on the boot
surfaces between cycles and on unprotected surfaces.
These speed increments must be added whenever the REF SPEEDS switch is selected, regardless of whether
or not ice has actually accumulated on the airplane.
Monitor airplane climb rate and airspeed closely.
Be prepared to increase propeller RPM and engine power if a significant loss of performance is noted.
By acting early in a significant icing encounter, the ultimate performance loss may be minimized and if condi-
tions are sufficiently severe to require a change in flight plan, the decision can be made before sustaining an
unacceptable decrease in airplane performance.
Note that a small weight and drag penalty on the airplane, due to accumulated ice on the airframe, combined
with decreased net engine power due to electrical loads and the increased climb speed result in a reduction in
Enroute Climb Gradient and One Engine Inoperative Climb Ceiling.
After flight in icing conditions leave the airframe de-ice system operating.
Monitor the left and right wing leading edges and wing tips.
The airplane is not considered to be aerodynamically clean until all ice is removed from the visible leading
edges and wing tips.
Once ice is no longer visible deselect de-icing and anti-icing systems and select the REF SPEEDS switch OFF

2.16.4 Holding and Approach

Before entering the hold or commencing approach, re-confirm all anti-icing systems are selected.
The AIRFRAME selector must be selected to FAST for the entire hold, approach and landing.
When holding in icing conditions, the landing gear must be retracted and flaps at Flap 0° setting.
Hold at an airspeed no slower than 190 KIAS.
The increased airspeed ensures an adequate airspeed margin above stall speed and the increased airspeed
and Flap 0° configuration decrease the angle of attack on the wing, maximizing the efficiency of the boot de-
icing system.
Prior to commencing approach, revised approach, landing and go-around speeds must be calculated.
Refer to Chapter 4 of the AOM for the appropriate values.
Again, all increases account for actual stalling speeds with ice on protected surfaces of the airplane and raised
stall warning thresholds.
Accumulated ice on the airframe extracts a small mass penalty on the airplane and combined with the
increased approach and landing speeds, result in an increase in Landing Field Lengths and Brake Energies.
The mass penalty on the airplane, as well as decreased net engine power due to electrical loads, combined
with the increased go-around speed result in a reduction in Landing MAT limits and Approach and Balked
Landing Climb gradients.

2.16-4 CHAPTER 2

[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015 NORMAL PROCEDURES

2.16.5 Landing

The airplane should be flown to a firm touchdown at the aiming point.


Immediately after main wheel touchdown, retard the Power Levers to DISC and lower the nose wheel to the
runway to enhance directional control. Apply anti-skid brakes as required.
On landing on slush covered surfaces, decelerate through 40 kt IAS to taxi speed 10 kt, as rapidly as possible.
Let the anti-skid system do its work. Do Not pump the brake pedals.
The anti-skid system will monitor the onset of tire skidding and modulate brake pressures to achieve maximum
braking.
Avoid the use of reverse thrust on icy or slippery runways.
If reverse thrust is used in a crosswind, be prepared for a possible down-wind drift on slippery runways.
To correct back to the runway centerline, advance the Power Levers toward Flight Idle and reduce braking.
After regaining directional control, increase braking and select DISC.
Do Not select reverse thrust unless required.
If the Water Equivalent Depth (WED) of contaminant on the runway surface is greater than 3 mm (0.125 in),
selection of Power Levers aft of DISC is prohibited to avoid ingesting contaminant into the engines and suffer-
ing a possible flame-out.
Do Not attempt to turn off the runway until speed has been reduced to a manageable level.

2.16.6 Parking

2.16.6.1 Cold Weather Parking

1. Remove the snow, slush, or ice from the area where you will park the airplane.

NOTE: If this is not possible, remove the contamination around the tires of the main and the nose
landing gear only.
If you do not do this, the tires can freeze to the ground

2. Park the airplane.


3. Remove all snow, slush, or ice from the engine intakes and exhausts.
4. Install all plugs and covers supplied for the airplane.

NOTE: In very cold weather, apply a thin brush layer of anti-icing fluid to the covers or they can freeze
to the airplane.

5. If you will park the airplane in the cold for a long time, do the steps that follow:
a. Drain the fluid from the lavatory tank and the warm water wash system.
b. Drain the galley liquid containers.
c. Close all airplane doors.
6. If you park the airplane in ambient temperatures lower than - 20°C (- 4°F), the battery temperatures shown
on the electrical page of the multi-function display (written as the “MFD” in this procedure) must be equal to
or greater than - 20°C (- 4°F) prior to dispatch.

NOTE: There is no battery temperature limitation to start the engines or the auxiliary power unit.

7. If you park the airplane in temperatures lower than - 15°C (5°F) for longer than 3 h, you must permit a
warm-up period for the displays that follow before they become functional:
i) PFD
ii) MFD
iii) ED
iv) ARCDU

3.0 NON-NORMAL, SPECIAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL PROCEDURES

3.0.1 Introduction

3.0.1.1 General Use of Expanded Emergency and Abnormal Procedures (Non-Normal) Checklists

The Expanded Emergency and Abnormal Procedures (Non-Normal) checklists are intended to be used in con-
junction with the QRH Abnormal Checklist and the AFM.

Each non-normal situation should be dealt with in the following sequence:


1. Memory items, enclosed in a BOX;
2. Checklist items specific to the malfunction;
3. Warnings, Cautions and Notes (lost services, etc.); and
4. Landing Precautions.
This information is specific to the malfunction and is used to supplement the normal operations of the air-
plane. The landing precautions must be reviewed as part of the approach briefing.

Following completion of the appropriate Non-Normal Checklist, the Normal Checklist will be used giving due
regard to those items modified by the abnormality for the remainder of the flight.

NOTE: For failures not addressed in the Non-Normal Checklist, refer to the AFM.

− The statement “Land immediately at the nearest suitable airport” is defined as:
Land at the nearest airport that offers sufficient landing distance available and if required, emergency
services to support the emergency or abnormality.

− The statement “Land at the nearest suitable airport” is defined as:


The airplane may continue to the destination airport or the nearest airport where maintenance services are
available.

− The statement “Maintenance action required prior to next flight” is defined as:
“Next Flight” is referring to the immediate or imminent take-off after discovery.

3.0.1.2 Crew Coordination during Emergencies

In the event of a non-normal situation, the primary objective of the flight crew is to control the airplane.

The crew will assess the problem, when vertical and lateral flight path control is established and ground contact
is no longer a threat.

Once the nature of the problem has been established, the PF will call for the appropriate memory items if appli-
cable.

The PNF actions the memory items which are confirmed by the PF.

When the memory items are complete, the PF will call for the appropriate non-normal checklist.

The PNF actions the checklist items using the “read and do” method.

3.0-2 CHAPTER 3
NON-NORMAL, SPECIAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL
[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015 PROCEDURES

3.0.1.3 Communication Flight Compartment and Cabin Crew

The PF will normally handle all communications with the cabin crew.
For normal communication use the CALL button to contact the cabin crew.
The Senior Cabin Crew Member will come to the flight compartment or respond on the interphone.
During emergency situations, standardized communication between the Pilots and the Cabin Crew Member(s)
is essential.
The following is a list of the standard communications to be used during emergency operations.

Table 3.0-1 Pilot / Cabin Crew Communications

Action Required Signal


Notify cabin crew of an emergency PA:
“SENIOR CABIN ATTENDANT TO THE FLIGHT DECK”
Alternate: Emergency Lights ON
Evacuate airplane PA: EVACUATE LEFT (or RIGHT) SIDE”
Alternate: More than 3 Chimes.
Passengers to brace prior to an emergency land- PA: “BRACE BRACE BRACE"
ing (this call should be made approximately 1 min
prior to landing) Alternate: More than 3 Chimes.

Cabin Crew Members to resume duties after an PA: "CABIN CREW RESUME YOUR DUTIES"
emergency descent
Prevent evacuation PA: "REMAIN SEATED"

3.0.1.4 Distress Communication and Alerting ATC to Emergencies

Do Not hesitate to send “MAYDAY” calls as early as posssible to give the ground staff as much time as possi-
ble for their preparations.
A “MAYDAY” call can always be cancelled.
In your transmission give a technical status of the airplane or type of emergency, Position, FL, Heading, Endur-
ance and Intentions.
Make clear requests.

3.0.1.5 Guidance for Diversion in Case of Serious Technical Failure

Especially in case of a serious technical failure, to conduct a safe landing must always be the highest priority.

Furthermore the following has to be taken into consideration:


• Technical condition of the airplane, actual grossmass, endurance
• Weather conditions and terrain enroute and at alternate
• Aerodrome facilities
• Passenger and maintenance facilities

LANDING GEAR EXTENDED:


Landing Considerations:
If the available surface is appropriate:
- Extend landing gear using ALTERNATE LANDING GEAR EXTENSION procedure (Sub-Chapter 3.1.11.1).
Allow sufficient time for alternate gear extension.
- Extending landing gear will steepen glide angle and decrease glide distance.
- Maintain 1.23 VSR until immediately prior to flare.
- Commence flare to achieve zero vertical velocity immediately prior to ground contact.
- Do Not exceed 6° nose up during flare.
- Touch down with minimum speed and rate of descent without stalling.

After touchdown:
BATTERY MASTER .................................................................................................................................... OFF
Pull out the BATTERY MASTER switch and set to OFF.
EMERG Brake .................................................................................................................. Apply Intermittently
Use the EMERGENCY / PARKING LEVER to stop the airplane.
When airplane comes to a stop:
• Evacuate airplane.
After propellers have stopped, the commander will start the evacuation by using the PA to shout the command
“EVACUATE, EVACUATE, EVACUATE” (LEFT or RIGHT SIDE, if one side is blocked).
The first officer will leave the flight compartment and help with the evacuation.

LANDING GEAR RETRACTED:


Landing Considerations:
- Maintain 1.23 VSR until immediately prior to flare.
- Commence flare to achieve zero vertical velocity immediately prior to ground contact.
- Do Not exceed 5° nose-up during flare.
- Touch down with minimum speed and rate of descent without stalling.

• Evacuate airplane.
After propellers have stopped, the commander will start the evacuation by using the PA to shout the command
“EVACUATE, EVACUATE, EVACUATE” (LEFT or RIGHT SIDE, if one side is blocked.)
The first officer will leave the flight compartment and help with the evacuation.

DITCHING:
Landing Considerations:
- Do Not select landing gear down.
- In rolling swell surface conditions attempt to ditch along and parallel to the crests as much into wind as swell
line permits. In other water surface conditions land into wind.
- Maintain 1.23 VSR until immediately prior to flare.
- Commence flare to achieve zero vertical velocity immediately prior to water contact.
- Maintain pitch attitude of 10° nose-up.
- Touch down with minimum speed and minimum rate of descent without stalling.
- A transient nose-up pitching motion may result following touchdown.
Over-correction of this tendency could result in porpoising or nosing in.

After water contact:


BATTERY MASTER .................................................................................................................................... OFF
Pull out the BATTERY MASTER switch and set to OFF.

When airplane comes to a stop:


• Evacuate airplane.
After propellers have stopped, the commander will start the evacuation by using the PA to shout the command

The first officer will leave the flight compartment and help with the evacuation.

NOTE: After the completion of ditching run, the airplane will float with one wing in the water.
The upper portion of the right forward emergency exit and / or the airstair door shall be used
for evacuation.
The airstair door ditching dam must be in place prior to opening the door.

WARNING: Do Not open the Aft Doors or the lower portion of the right Forward Emergency Exit.
[END]

3.1.5.3 DITCHING
Preparations:
• Broadcast emergency and distress signals.
• Alert cabin crew to review ditching procedures with passengers.
• Deploy ditching dam at airstair door and configure forward right hand exit for ditching.
NOTE: [with Options - CR 825 CH 03163 and CR 825 CH 03200 Not Incorporated]:
Configuring the forward right-hand emergency exit for ditching may require the aircraft to be
depressurized to reduce the force on the lower exit door handle.
• Check security of cargo and baggage and restrain if necessary.

DITCHING (cont’d)

Operational Conditions:
The 2 factors which bear most directly upon a successful ditching are airplane ground speed and the water
surface condition.
Under all circumstances the airplane should be brought onto the water surface as gently as possible.
In rolling swell surface conditions, the generally recommended technique is to ditch along and parallel to the
crest of a swell, as much into wind as the swell line permits. In all other conditions land into wind.

NOTES: Power should be reduced gradually to achieve FLIGHT IDLE at or just prior to touchdown.
To decrease the landing descent rate and not exceed a pitch attitude of 6° when the landing
descent rate is higher than desired, power will be required in the landing flare through to touch-
down.
To decrease the landing descent rate at airport altitudes greater than 5000 ft, it may be neces-
sary to maintain power in the landing flare through to touchdown.
High landing speeds, due to this abnormal procedure, may result in Brake Kinetic Energy limits
being exceeded.

3.2 MISCELLANEOUS ABNORMAL and EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

3.2.1 GROUND FAILURES / ABORTED TAKE-OFF

Ground failures are defined as any malfunction that occurs on the ground prior to V1 or after touchdown.
In the event of a ground failure, regardless of whether it happens while at the gate, taxiing or during take-off,
the primary objective of the crew is to stop the airplane, assess the problem, take the appropriate action and
evacuate if required.
A take-off shall be aborted for any Caution or Warning light prior to V1.
There are many reasons other than Caution or Warning lights for discontinuing a take-off.
It is therefore, left to the discretion of the PIC as to what additional situations demand an aborted take-off.
At V1 or above, the take-off will be continued regardless of the malfunction.
If a rejected take-off becomes necessary the call “ABORT” will be made by either pilot.
If the PF is in the right seat, the left seat pilot will normally assume control at approximately 50 kt.
The PNF (right seat) will advise ATC of the abort and the crew will then assess the situation.
If the reason for the abort is fire or smoke, the PF will set the parking brake and complete the memory items for
shutdown and evacuation.
The PNF will advise ATC of the problem, request emergency equipment, state the number of persons on board
and quantity of fuel.

PROCEDURES [Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015

3.2.2 EVACUATION

3.2.2.1 Catastrophic Accident


If a catastrophic accident occurs which precludes any formal preparation or announcements each crew mem-
ber should immediately initiate an evacuation.
When initiating an evacuation communicate this using the following shouted command / PA:
“EVACUATE, EVACUATE, EVACUATE”
(“... SIDE”, if required to restrict evacuation to that side of the airplane.)
This notifies other crew members and your passengers that you are initiating an evacuation.

3.2.2.2 Non-Catastrophic Accident


At any time the airplane comes to a stop following a planned or unplanned emergency landing that is not cata-
strophic, the Cabin Crew Member(s) will wait for engine shut down plus 15 s.
If there is no communication from the flight compartment by this point the:
• Senior Cabin Crew Member will attempt to call the flight compartment using the “EMER” call button on the
Interphone.
If there is no response, she / he will attempt to enter the flight compartment.
If all communication with the flight compartment fails, the Senior Cabin Crew Member will initiate evacua-
tion.
• Cabin Crew Member(s) will maintain control in the cabin and wait for direction from the flight compartment or the
Senior Cabin Crew Member.
If this is not possible, the Cabin Crew Member(s) will initiate evacuation.

3.2.3 Blocked Exit Procedure


If during the assessment of an exit it is determined that the exit is unsafe or unusable then the following proce-
dure should be used:
• Have 2 passengers hold people back while you assess the exit opposite (e.g. “you 2 hold people back”);
• If this exit is also unusable then redirect passengers to operable exits - elevate yourself, cross arms in an X
in front of you and shout the problem (e.g. “blocked exit, fire, go that way”).

3.2.3.1 Pilot Duties - Evacuation


(After Landing)

3.2.3.1.1 2IC Duties


(Senior Cabin Crew Member and / or Cabin Crew Member is conducting evacuation)
1) Complete flight compartment duties,
2) Exit flight compartment and
3) 2IC will exit airplane with passengers and assist from outside.

3.2.3.1.2 2IC Duties


(Senior Cabin Crew Member Incapacitated or no Cabin Crew Member on board)
In addition to items 1) and 2) above, the 2IC will assess and open exits and conduct evacuation.

3.2.3.1.3 PIC Duties


(Senior Cabin Attendant and / or Cabin Attendant and / or PNF is conducting evacuation)
1) Complete flight compartment duties,
2) Exit flight compartment, and
3) PIC will exit airplane with passengers and assist from outside.

3.2.3.1.4 PIC Duties


(Senior Cabin Crew Member Incapacitated or
no Cabin Crew Member on board or
PNF incapacitated)
In addition to items 1) to 3) above, the PIC will assess and open exits and conduct evacuation.

NOTE: Any crew member may assume the duties of any other crew member as the circumstance
require.

NON-NORMAL, SPECIAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL
[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015 PROCEDURES

3.2.4 CREW INCAPACITATION

3.2.4.1 Pilot Incapacitation

Incapacitation occurs in many forms ranging from sudden death to subtle, partial loss of mental or physical per-
formance.

Subtle incapacitation is the most dangerous and is the most common type encountered.

One of the keys to early and effective recognition of pilot incapacitation is the strict adherence to standard
operating procedures, call-outs and flight profiles.

Suspicion of some degree of incapacitation should be considered when a crew member does not respond to
verbal communication associated with a significant departure from a standardized procedure or profile.

Failure of that crew member to respond to a 2nd request or challenge is cause for immediate action on the part
of the challenging crew member.

Whenever the PNF advises the PF of a deviation from the intended flight profile, the PF shall take immediate
action and announce, “CORRECTING”.

If the PF does not respond immediately, the PNF shall call the deviation a 2nd time, and if there is still no
response from the PF, the PNF shall assume pilot incapacitation, assume immediate control of the airplane
and announce, “I HAVE CONTROL”.

If carrying additional crew members i.e. Cabin Crew Member(s), call for their assistance in securing the inca-
pacitated pilot away from the controls and to administer first aid as necessary.

3.2.5 IN-FLIGHT FAILURES

In-flight failures are defined as any malfunction that occurs at or above V1 and prior to touch down.

During an in-flight failure the primary responsibility of the crew is to control the airplane.

Checklists must not be called for until the airplane is under full control and in a steady state of flight.

If a failure occurs at or above V1 and prior to flap retraction (3rd segment), the crew will not action any memory
items or checklist until the flaps are retracted.

In an extreme situation (such as engine failure during a GA), the PIC may elect to action the checklist memory
items prior to reaching 3rd segment (prior to flap retraction).

In any event, no action will be taken until the airplane is under full control and in a steady state of flight.

In the event of an in-flight failure, the crew will assess the problem.

Once the nature of the problem has been established, the PF will call for the appropriate memory items if appli-
cable, e.g. “SHUTDOWN ENGINE NUMBER 2".

The PNF actions the memory items which are confirmed by the PF (Challenge and Response).

When the memory items are complete, the PF will at his discretion (but not less than 1000 ft above the airport
elevation), call for the appropriate non-normal checklist.

The PNF actions the checklist items using the Read and Do method.

Once the checklist has been completed, the crew will advise ATC of the problem and declare an emergency if
applicable.

The PIC will advise the Cabin Crew of the nature of the problem and the intentions of the flight crew.

3.2.7 FLAPLESS APPROACH and LANDING

During flapless approaches, fly a normal rectangular traffic pattern, but ensure that there is enough time / dis-
tance on final approach to stabilize in the flapless configuration.

The nose of the airplane will be higher than normal and the power setting will be lower than normal.

The GPWS flap override switch should be depressed to inhibit all flap warning signals.

The key to a successful flapless landing is to establish VREF for flaps 0° as soon as possible on final approach.

Care should be exercised not to under-shoot the runway as there might be a tendency to “flattern out” the
approach angle when in the flapless configuration.

Make adjustments quickly and precisely.

This should obviate the necessity to use large attitude and power changes especially on short final.

Power should be reduced gradually to achieve FLIGHT IDLE at or just prior to touchdown.

The POWER levers should be moved from FLIGHT IDLE into discing without delay.

Reverse may be used as required to reduce stopping distance.

The “flapless landing” checklist should be completed before execution of the normal approach and landing
checklists.

CAUTION: Pitch attitude > 6° in the landing flare may cause the fuselage to contact the RWY.

CAUTION: Do Not select POWER levers below FLIGHT IDLE


until indicated airspeed is below 150 kt IAS.

NOTE: The nosewheel should be promptly brought into contact with the ground following mainwheel
contact.

3.2.9 SMOKE / DEPRESSURIZATION / EMERGENCY DESCENTS

3.2.9.1 Smoke

Smoke or fire within the airplane can quickly develop into a serious and life threatening situation.
Smoke can be carried into the fuselage via the air conditioning and pressurization system, or it can be gener-
ated within the airplane by overheated or burning electrical equipment or wiring.
It can also result from combustion within the cargo / baggage compartment, the cabin and the lavatory and gal-
ley areas.
Of immediate importance, upon detection of any smoke on the flight compartment, is PROTECTION of the
flight crew.
The appropriate smoke / fire procedures can then be carried out, the airplane descended to a safe altitude for
protection of the passengers and positioned for an immediate landing at the nearest suitable airport.

Smoke / fire procedures are addressed in the QRH under 2 basic headings:
- Known source of fire or smoke
- Unknown source of smoke

extinguished following fire suppression and / or smoke evacuation procedures, continue to
land immediately at the nearest suitable airport.
2. If a pilot is required to fight the fire, protective breathing equipment must be donned prior to
exiting the flight compartment.

3.2.9.2 Depressurization
Other than setting the altitude of the destination airfield on the cabin controller, pressurization occurs automat-
ically and normally requires minimal crew involvement.
If the automatic features of the controller fail, cabin pressure can be controlled manually.
In the event of cabin depressurization or the inability to maintain adequate pressurization, the airplane should
be descended to below 14000 ft or the Minimum Enroute Altitude, whichever is higher.
When controlling the cabin pressure manually, do not exceed maximum cabin differential pressure stated on
the Cabin Altitude Differential placard.
A rapid decompression can result from loss of integrity of the pressure hull due to birdstrike, loss of a window,
sudden failure of a door seal, or other structural damage.
As with the case of smoke on the flight compartment, the prime consideration of the flight crew is self-protec-
tion, so the airplane can be flown safely to a lower altitude to protect the passengers.

An Emergency Descent, if required, is normally carried out at VMO.
If the structural integrity of the airplane is in doubt, however, limit the descent airspeed as much as possible
and avoid high maneuvering loads. Moving the condition levers to MAX increases drag in order that the
descent to lower altitude may be done in a timely fashion.

When aircraft recovers from stall and / or stall warning (minimum reference airspeed is achieved):
• Return to the desired flight profile and assigned altitude.

3.2.11 OVERWEIGHT LANDING

If an immediate landing is required following take-offs at a mass / weight in excess of maximum landing mass /
weight, the following considerations apply:

1) Approach and landing speeds will be higher for a given flap setting as well as brake energy and landing
distance increased and MAT / WAT limit decreased.
Approach and landing flap selection may be determined by landing MAT / WAT considerations well as
available landing distance or brake energy.

2) Establish VREF as soon as possible on final approach.


Avoid the necessity to use large attitude and power changes especially on short final.

3) Note that airplane sink rate will be higher than normal on approach.

4) Adjust flare to reduce sink rate to normal values prior to touchdown.


Power may be required in the landing flare through to touchdown to decrease the landing descent rate.

5) After touchdown, the POWER levers should be moved from FLIGHT IDLE into discing without delay and
the nosewheel lowered to the runway.
Reverse may be used as required to reduce stopping distance.

NOTE: Landing speeds, MAT / WAT limits, Landing Climb data, Landing Distance and Brake Energy
may be determined using the AOM tables for over-weight landing conditions.

the phase of flight • Advises ATC of any deviation to clearance
• Reconfigures aircraft as necessary

Do Not change gear or flap configuration until aircraft is clear of terrain.


Optimum aircraft performance (best angle of climb) occurs near 1.13 VS for the aircraft configuration, therefore,
Do Not allow the airspeed to decrease below this speed (Nominally V2 / VGA for the flap configuration).
Unlike a jet aircraft, it is not permissible to continue to increase pitch attitude until stick shaker occurs.
This is because at high power settings the propeller slipstream creates additional lift on the airframe. As a
result, the aircraft could reach a dangerously low indicated airspeed before the shaker activates.
At these very low airspeeds, the aircraft is operating on the extreme “back side” of the Lift / Drag curve with a
significant deterioration of climb capability.
Additionally, the flight controls may not retain sufficient authority to maintain control of the aircraft in turbulence
or following an engine flameout.
Jet aircraft can be flown to shaker because it provides an artificial barrier to reaching very low IAS.
Propeller aircraft normally “create” such a barrier using procedural means instead.
Restricting the aircraft to a minimum airspeed of V2 / VGA during the recovery is a natural choice as these
speeds are readily available to crew members and match optimal climb speed.
The Low Speed Cue on the Q400 aircraft has been designed to overcome the Limitations associated with the
stick shaker at high power settings and function as a visual airspeed barrier.
The cue will always display an appropriate minimum airspeed for control of the aircraft regardless of weight,
flap or power setting.
As a result, terrain recoveries can be flown using the low speed cue as an aid to preventing an unacceptable
low airspeed condition.

3.2.13 TRAFFIC ALERT & COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (TCAS)

In reference to a TCAS Traffic Advisory (TA), both pilots should locate the traffic on the MFD (yellow filled dia-
mond) then the PNF should look outside for the traffic.
The PF will continue to monitor the MFD for any changes in traffic flight path or new traffic and direct the PNF
where to look for the traffic.
Should the PNF become visual with the traffic, the PNF should inform the PF and continue to monitor this traffic
as well as look for others.
The PF should continue to monitor the MFD for any changes in traffic flight path or new traffic.
The PNF should also request / advise ATC of any flight path changes requested by the PF in order to avoid the
traffic.
In the event the TA changes to a Resolution Advisory (RA), the PF should take whatever Resolution Advisory
climb or descent is directed by the TCAS.
Disconnect the autopilot and immediately adjust the flight profile.
The PNF should continue to look for the traffic and ensure the PF has met the RA directed by TCAS.
The PNF shall also advise ATC of any change in assigned altitude using the standard terminology:
“TCAS CLIMB (or DESCENT)”.
Once clear of the conflict and the RA is cancelled, the PF shall return the airplane to the original assigned alti-
tude as promptly as possible.

PROCEDURES [Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015

3.3 ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS

3.3.1 General
Airplane operations in adverse weather such as windshear, icing, severe turbulence, contaminated runways
and crosswinds add variables to the normal operations.
When applicable, follow the supplemental procedures in this section.

3.3.2 WINDSHEAR

3.3.2.1 Background
Windshear is defined as a sudden change in air mass direction and speed lasting for a measurable period of
time (as opposed to simple turbulence).
Knowledge of how windshear affects aircraft performance is essential to the application of the proper vertical
flight path control techniques during an inadvertent windshear encounter.
While many windshear encounters have been related to weather fronts, strong surface winds, mountain
waves, etc, the worst encounters have involved wet microburst / downburst phenomena associated with thun-
derstorms.
A microburst or downburst is a shaft of high velocity air moving down from the core of a convective cloud to the
ground where it spreads out in a gust front in all directions.
The wind component is mostly horizontal at altitudes below 500 ft.
Horizontal windshear may improve or degrade vertical flight path performance.
Performance improving windshear will first be indicated in the flight compartment by an increasing airspeed.
Performance improving windshear may be a precursor of a shear that will decrease airspeed and degrade ver-
tical flight path performance.
Accordingly, when windshear is suspected, avoid large power reductions and excessive trim changes in
response to sudden airspeed increases as these may be followed quickly by sudden decreases.
All events will not be in the classic mould of symmetrical outflows as described above. In fact, they can vary to
the extent that the first recognizable encounter might be the decreasing performance tailwind shear.
Crew actions are divided into 3 areas: Avoidance, Precautions and Recovery.

3.3.2.2 Windshear Avoidance


Carefully assess all available information such as pilot reports of windshear or turbulence, low level windshear
alerts and weather reports, including thunderstorm and virga activity.
Avoid areas of known severe windshear.
If severe windshear is indicated, delay take-off or do not continue an approach until conditions improve.
All crews should broadcast any instances of airspeed fluctuation when shear is encountered.
One aircraft, upon entering the outflow area of a downburst, may encounter airspeed fluctuations, but no signif-
icant control problems.
Another aircraft on the same flight path a few minutes later, may experience airspeed changes many times
greater than the previous aircraft, accompanied by marked performance degradation and handling difficulties.

3.3.2.3 Windshear Precautions - Take-off


Do Not use a reduced power take-off; use normal take-off power if there are any reports of windshear in the
area.
Use the longest suitable runway, provided it is clear of areas of known windshear.
Be alert for airspeed fluctuations during take-off and initial climb.
Airspeed fluctuations may be the first indication of windshear.
Rotate at the normal pitch rate to the normal take-off pitch attitude.
Minimize reductions from this initial attitude until terrain and obstacle clearance is assured.
Crews should develop an awareness of the normal values of airspeed, attitude, vertical speed and accelera-
tion.
Vertical flight path instruments such as vertical speed indicators and altimeters should be closely monitored.
The PNF (Pilot Not Flying) should call out any deviations from normal.
If the PF (Pilot Flying) feels that vertical flight path control is marginal at any time the PF will call “WINDS-
HEAR” and carry out the in-flight recovery maneuver outlined below.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


3.3-2 CHAPTER 3
NON-NORMAL, SPECIAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL
[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015 PROCEDURES

3.3.2.4 Windshear Precautions - Approach

Utilize all available means in the flight compartment that might indicate the presence of windshear such as
visual indications, pilot reports, radar and flight instruments.
Select the minimum approach / landing flap position consistent with field length and WAT (Weight Altitude Tem-
perature).
Limit and add an appropriate wind correction to VAPP (correction applied in the same manner as gust correc-
tion).
Avoid large power reductions or trim changes in response to sudden airspeed increases as these may be fol-
lowed by airspeed decreases.
Closely monitor the vertical flight path instruments, specifically vertical speed, altimeters and glideslope indica-
tors - increasing the normal cross check between these instruments and the flight director commands.
In this regard, crew coordination is most important, especially at night or in marginal weather conditions.
The PNF should be ready to promptly call out any deviation from normal.
If the PF feels that vertical flight path control is marginal at any time the PF will call “WINDSHEAR” and carry
out the in-flight recovery maneuver outlined below.

3.3.2.5 Windshear In-Flight Recovery - Maneuver

The flight crew must make the determination of marginal flight path control using all the information available in
the flight compartment and react promptly.
This determination is subjective and based on the pilots' judgment of the situation.

As a guideline, marginal flight path control may be indicated by uncontrolled changes from normal steady state
flight conditions in excess of:
• 10 kt indicated airspeed
• 500 ft/min vertical speed
• 5° pitch attitude
• 1 dot displacement from the glideslope

The following action is recommended when preventative action is not successful, or whenever flight path con-
trol becomes marginal below 500 ft above the ground on take-off or landing:
• Initial response - Apply NTOP (detent) power / Rotate to known GA (Go Around) attitude
Provides a fixed pitch target in turbulence
• Do Not change configuration unless flight path under control.

Aircraft still descending:


• Increase thrust and pitch attitude
- Firewall power
- Increase pitch target sufficient to stop descent, but Do Not allow airspeed to decrease below V2 / VGA
- Maintain the pitch attitude that achieves V2 / VGA airspeed
• Stick shaker activates and / or airspeed tape turns red:
Should the stick shaker activate and / or airspeed tape turn red in turbulence (Alternate Symbology air-
craft), immediately reduce the pitch attitude sufficient to silence the shaker and achieve an airspeed above
the low speed cue.
In the event this should occur close to the ground, maintain the pitch attitude which silences the shaker,
until terrain contact is no longer a factor, then allow the aircraft to accelerate back to V2 / VGA.
• Continue climb until clear of terrain.

Clear of terrain:
• Reduce power and pitch attitude appropriate to the phase of flight.
• Reconfigure aircraft as necessary.

Calls “<obstacle clearance alt ASL> FEET”
Once Clear of Terrain
Reduce power and pitch attitude appropriate to the
phase of flight
Reconfigure aircraft as necessary Calls “CLEAR OF TERRAIN”
Advise ATC of any deviation to clearance

Do Not change gear or flap configuration if the vertical flight path is not under control.
Optimum aircraft performance (best angle of climb) occurs near 1.13 VS for the aircraft configuration, therefore,
Do Not allow the airspeed to decrease below this speed (Nominally V2 / VGA for the flap configuration).
Unlike a jet aircraft, it is not permissible to continue to increase pitch attitude until stick shaker occurs.
This is because at high power settings the propeller slipstream creates additional lift on the airframe. As a
result, the aircraft could reach a dangerously low indicated airspeed before the shaker activates.
At these very low airspeeds, the aircraft is operating on the extreme “back side” of the Lift / Drag curve with a
significant deterioration of climb capability.
Additionally, the flight controls may not retain sufficient authority to maintain control of the aircraft in turbulence
or following an engine flameout.
Jet aircraft can be flown to shaker because it provides an artificial barrier to reaching very low IAS.
Propeller aircraft normally “create” such a barrier using procedural means instead.
Restricting the aircraft to a minimum airspeed of V2 / VGA during the recovery is a natural choice as these
speeds are readily available to crew members and match optimal climb speed.
The Low Speed Cue on the Q400 aircraft has been designed to overcome the limitations associated with the
stick shaker at high power settings and function as a visual airspeed barrier.
The cue will always display an appropriate minimum airspeed for control of the aircraft regardless of weight,
flap or power setting.
As a result, windshear recoveries can be flown using the low speed cue as an aid to preventing an unaccept-
able low airspeed condition.

* High level turbulence (normally above 15000 ft ASL) not associated with cumulus form clouds should be
reported as Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) preceded by the appropriate intensity or light or moderate chop.

3.3.3.1 Avoidance
As with all weather hazards, the best action is to stay away from turbulence.
Areas of severe or extreme turbulence may be reported by SIGMETS, ATC or pilot reports.
Areas of severe and extreme turbulence are known to exist:
• Near Frontal Activity
• Near the Jetstream
• On the leeward side of mountains
• In Areas of Convective Activity
Convective activity will produce turbulence within the convective formation, underneath the formation (some-
times in the form of a microburst), or above it.
Weather radar can be used to stay away from areas of heavy convective build up.
Areas of strong build up should be avoided by at least 20 NM and topped by at least 2000 ft.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 3 3.3-5
NON-NORMAL, SPECIAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL
PROCEDURES [Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015

3.3.3.2 Severe Turbulence Encounter

If severe turbulence is encountered:


• Disengage the autopilot.
• Maintain control of the airplane by primary reference to attitude (ADI).
• Allow airspeed and altitude to fluctuate as required.
• Avoid sudden or large power and control inputs.
• Reduce IAS to Rough Air Speed
• Avoid use of large bank angles due to increased wing loading
Report any severe or extreme turbulence to so that other pilots know of the hazard.

3.3.4 WAKE TURBULENCE

Wake turbulence is caused by wing tip vortices.


When an airfoil creates lift, it causes wing tip vortices.
The higher pressure below the wing will try to equalize with the lower pressure on top.
The air will do this by moving around the wing tip from the bottom to the top in a swirling movement, causing
vortices.
The vortices are strongest when the airplane is heavy, slow and clean (flaps and slats retracted).

3.3.4.1 Induced Roll Control Factors

The usual hazard associated with induced rolling moments is exceeding the roll-control capability of the air-
plane.
The governing factor in the ability for the airplane to counter control the roll tendency is the wingspan and con-
trol responsiveness of the airplane.
The shorter the wingspan of the airplane relative to the generating airplane, the more difficult it will be to coun-
teract the rolling tendencies.

3.3.4.2 Induced Pitch Control Factors

When an airplane crosses the wake of another airplane, it will experience pitching motions and vertical loads
quite similar to a gust encounter.
Crosstrack penetration, whether it is a clockwise vortex penetration or counter-clockwise vortex penetration,
typically lasts a very short time.
This minimizes the effects of the vortex.
Pilots normally do not lose control of the airplane, but structural loads and loss of altitude can create hazards.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


3.3-6 CHAPTER 3
NON-NORMAL, SPECIAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL
[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015 PROCEDURES

3.3.4.3 Vortex Behavior


Because vortices are a by-product of lift, they are made from the time the airplane leaves the ground until it
touches down again.
Before take-off or touchdown, pilots should note the rotation or touchdown point of the preceding airplane.
Vortices from larger airplanes sink at a rate of several hundreds ft/min, slowing their descent and diminishing in
strength with time and distance behind the generating airplane.
Atmospheric turbulence hastens breakup.
Pilots should fly at or above the preceding airplane’s path, changing course as necessary to stay away from
the area behind and below the airplane.
A vertical separation of 1000 ft may be considered safe.
When vortices of larger airplanes sink close to the ground (within 100 to 200 ft), they move laterally over the
ground at a speed of about 5 kt.
A crosswind will slow the lateral movement of the upwind vortex and increase the movement of the downwind
vortex.
A light wind with a cross runway component of 1 to 5 kt could keep the upwind vortex in the touchdown zone
for a period of time and increase the drift of the downwind vortices toward another runway.
A tailwind condition can move the vortices of the preceding airplane forward into the touchdown zone.
The light quartering tailwind is the most concern.
Pilots should be alert to large airplanes upwind from their approach and take-off flight paths.

3.3.4.4 Considerations
• Be aware of wake turbulence when holding near a runway.
• Before crossing a runway, wait a few minutes after a large airplane has taken off or landed.
• When taking off behind a larger airplane plan to rotate before the larger airplane’s rotation point.
• Climb above and upwind of the larger airplane’s climb path until clear of its wake.
• Do Not fly below and behind a large airplane’s flight path.
• If landing after a departing airplane, touchdown before its rotation point.
• If landing after a large airplane, stay above the other airplane’s path and land after its touchdown point.
• When landing after a large airplane on a parallel runway closer than 2500 ft, beware of possible drifting of
the vortex to your runway.

NOTE: ATC will provide separation for airplane, but it is still the pilot’s responsibility to avoid wake
turbulence.

3.3.5 VOLCANIC ASH

Flight in volcanic ash can cause damage to airplane surfaces and engines.
Engine failures are a common result of flight in volcanic ash.
Airplane heat, hydraulic and electrical systems can also be contaminated.
Volcanic ash is heavy, and large quantities of contamination can have an unwanted effect on airplane mass
and balance.
Aviation radar is not good at finding volcanic ash clouds.
Ash from volcanic eruptions can quickly reach 60000 ft and be blown more than 2400 NM.
Pilots must not enter visible volcanic ash clouds.
There is an increased risk of entering volcanic ash at night or in instrument conditions.
If a given area has any reported risk of volcanic ash, it must not be entered until it is found to be safe.
St. Elmo’s fire will usually occur if flying in volcanic ash at night.
Pilots must leave the area quickly if they fly into volcanic ash.
Report any volcanic ash or eruption seen to ATC.

3.4.2.10 Landing Gear

Brake Wear
(Braking Technique for Carbon Brakes)

The mechanisms affecting brake wear are very different for steel and carbon brake assemblies.

The number of brake applications has the biggest impact on carbon brake wear.

• Taxi:
Flight crew should avoid riding the brakes during taxi operations.
Taxi speed should be regulated primarily through the use of power (DISC).
At slow speeds, if the brakes are required, they should be used smoothly and positively applied towards
maximum pressure to enable a complete stop.

• Landing Ground Roll:


Deceleration techniques on landing will vary depending on the length of the runway and the type of avail-
able exits.
If the runway is short, it is recommended that Flight Crews apply the brakes immediately after touchdown,
coupled with aerodynamic braking through the use of DISC.
Strong, positive brake application is most effective and ensures the brakes reach their optimum operating
temperature when bringing the aircraft to an acceptable taxi speed or a complete stop.
Using the brakes for short duration and / or light application will cause premature wear.
If the runway is long, without a high speed turnoff, the aircraft will have to be at a very slow taxi speed in
order to make the 90° turn off the runway.
If the brakes are required, they should be applied ahead of the planned turn off at a distance sufficient to
achieve the desired taxi speed with the use of strong, positive brake application.

3.4.2.11 Single Engine Taxi Operations

3.4.2.11.1 General

At the option of the operator, single engine taxi operations may be performed in accordance with the opera-
tional considerations and procedures contained in this section.
Operators may incorporate the information contained herein, into their flight operations documentation, as nec-
essary.

This supplemental procedure does not constitute operational approval to conduct single engine taxi opera-
tions.

3.4.2.11.2 Operational Considerations

Single engine taxi operations may be considered for use on hard surfaced taxiways and ramps with the # 2
engine operating and the # 1 engine either shutdown or running in Start & Feather.

Aircraft ground handling characteristics during single engine taxi require greater anticipation of turn direction,
turn radius, wind and varying taxiway slopes to avoid large power changes.

Turns into the operating engine may require forward momentum prior to commencing the turn.

Application of power above flight idle may be required and should be performed with regard for the effect of
propeller slipstream on surrounding objects and personnel.

Contamination of taxiway or ramp surfaces will reduce the effectiveness of nose steering and single engine taxi
should be avoided where there is any possibility of nose tire skidding.

At any time deemed necessary by the Captain, single engine taxi operations should be discontinued and the #
1 engine started to continue taxi to the runway or parking.

Single engine taxi before take-off is commenced with # 2 engine start carried out in the parking position or
during push back.

# 1 engine start is delayed until an appropriate point during taxi allowing sufficient time remaining for Pre-Take-
off Checks to be performed and engine to reach stable internal temperatures before take-off.
Although there is no formal limitation defining time between engine start and application of take-off power, pro-
vided engine oil temperature is above 0°C, Pratt and Whitney Canada (PWC) recommend a warm-up period of
at least 5 min.
This protects the mission profile assumptions used to establish engine component life limits and inspection
intervals.

Single engine taxi after landing is carried out by shutting down the # 1 engine after the aircraft is clear of the
runway and preferably after the After Landing checks have been completed.

During single engine taxi operations, in the event of a loss of # 1 hydraulic system pressure, normal braking will
be lost.
In the event of the failure of the # 2 engine, both normal braking and nose steering will be lost.
In both instances, it will be necessary to use the Emergency Brake to bring the aircraft to a stop.

Single engine taxi operations are not compatible with:


1. # 1 engine operating and # 2 engine either shutdown or running in Start & Feather;
2. The following system failures:
a. Nose wheel Steering System inoperative
b. Any Hydraulic System failure
c. Use of Alternate Landing Gear Extension
d. # 2 DC Generator inoperative

3.4.3 SAFETY OF FLIGHT SUPPLEMENT, ABNORMAL and EMERGENCY CHECKLISTS

3.4.3.1 Introduction

The intent of this Safety of Flight Supplement is to recommend pilot techniques associated with accomplishing
selected Abnormal and Emergency Checklists (AECs) and provide guidance for situations beyond the scope of
AECs.

Aircrews are expected to accomplish AECs listed in the QRH.

These checklists ensure maximum safety until appropriate actions are completed and a safe landing is accom-
plished.

Techniques discussed in this Safety of Flight Supplement minimize workload, improve crew coordination,
enhance safety and provide a basis for standardization.

3.4.3.2 Abnormal / Emergency Checklist Guidelines

When a non-normal situation occurs, the following guidelines apply:

• Non-Normal Recognition
- The crew member recognizing the malfunction calls it out clearly and precisely.

• Maintain Airplane Control


- It is mandatory that the Pilot Flying (PF) flies the airplane while the Pilot Monitoring (PM) accomplishes
the AEC.
Maximum use of the Flight Director / Autopilot is recommended to reduce crew workload.

• Analyze the Situation


- AECs should be accomplished only after the malfunctioning system has been positively identified.

NOTE: Pilots should don oxygen masks and establish communications anytime oxygen deprivation or
air contamination is suspected, even though an associated warning has not occurred.

• Take the Proper Action


- Although many in-flight non-normal situations may require immediate corrective action, difficulties can
be compounded by the rate the PF issues commands and the speed of execution of the PM.
- Commands must be clear and concise, allowing time for acknowledgement of each command prior to
issuing further commands.
- The PF must exercise positive control by allowing time for acknowledgment and execution.
- The other crew members must be certain their reports to the PF are clear and concise, neither exagger-
ating nor understating the nature of the non-normal situation.
This eliminates confusion and ensures efficient, effective and expeditious handling of the non-normal
situation.

• Evaluate the Need to Land


- If the AEC directs the crew to land immediately at the nearest suitable airport or if the situation is so
identified in the QRH, diversion to the nearest airport where a safe landing can be accomplished is
required.
If the AEC does not direct landing immediately at the nearest suitable airport, the pilot must determine if
continued flight to destination may compromise safety.

PROCEDURES [Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015

3.4.3.3 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting can be defined as taking steps beyond the published checklist in an effort to improve or cor-
rect a non-normal condition.

Examples of this are as follows:

- Attempting to reset a system or cycling a circuit breaker when not prescribed by the AEC.

- Using maintenance-level information to dictate crew actions.

- Use of switches and controls intended only for maintenance.

NOTE: With the availability of today’s communication channels, there seems to be a tendency that
flight crews request help from maintenance during abnormal situations.
Clearly, maintenance crew typically Do Not have the operational background or the situational
awareness of the flight crew’s non-normal environment.
Maintenance crews will use a different methodology to handle problems that may not be
appropriate for an in-flight non-normal situation.

Troubleshooting is rarely helpful and has caused further loss of system function or failure and in some cases,
accidents and incidents.

The crew should consider additional actions beyond the checklist only when completion of the published
checklist steps clearly result in an unacceptable situation.

In the case of airplane controllability problems, when a safe landing is considered unlikely, airplane-handling
evaluations with gear and / or flaps extended may be appropriate.

Also, attempting to free jammed flight controls should only be attempted, if the airplane cannot be safely
landed with the existing condition and then, according to the AEC to the extent possible.

Crew distraction, caused by preoccupation with troubleshooting, has been a key factor in fuel starvation and
CFIT accidents.

Completion of the AEC, as published, is strongly recommended.

3.4.3.4 Abnormal Contaminated Runway Operations

There have been incidents involving Dash 8 aircraft operating from a contaminated runway, where the nose
landing gear became frozen in the retracted position.

Attempts to lower the nose landing gear using the normal and the alternate systems were unsuccessful.

The aircraft sustained minor damage when landed with the nose landing gear retracted.

The operating guidance provided in the AFM Supplement 37


(SUPPLEMENTARY PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FOR OPERATION ON CONTAMINATED RUNWAYS)
limits the maximum Water Equivalent Depth (WED) to 15 mm (0.59 in) and the maximum contaminant depth to
6 cm (2.4 in).

AFM Figure 6-37-1 provides a mean to convert the Contaminant Depth to WED for take-off.

The maximum allowable depth of slush is approximately 15 mm (0.59 in).

3.4.3.5 Landing Gear Failures

Structural failure of the landing gear is not covered under Type Certification, therefore, no specific AFM proce-
dure covering this malfunction is provided or required.
When it is known that a landing must be performed which could be identified as an emergency landing due to
the presence of factors which introduce a hazard to the airplane and its occupants, AFM Paragraph 3.16,
Emergency Landing, outlines the main points to be addressed as applicable.
The intent of the following is to provide a list of options that may assist the flight crew in their decision making
process.
The information presented will not always be appropriate for the conditions being experienced by the flight
crew.
Ultimately, the flight crew will have to make the final decisions given the information presented to them in the
particular emergency situation.

Normal Extension / Retraction

If the landing gear fails to extend or retract, assuming that the Normal Extension / Retraction procedures have
been actioned correctly, the following list contains known conditions that have presented the flight crew with an
abnormal landing gear configuration:
- A burnt out landing gear advisory light bulb can give a false indication that the gear is not down.
If “3 green” gear down and locked advisory lights are not observed, ensure that the light bulbs in the gear
indicator panel have been checked utilizing the Advisory / Test switch.
- Failing to use the Alternate Indication system for a landing gear down and locked confirmation.
- The Alternate Release and Extension doors not in the fully closed position prior to a normal landing gear
selection.
- The Landing Gear Inhibit switch is not in the Normal position.
Once it is determined that the normal system has failed to extend / retract the landing gear and the aircraft was
appropriately configured giving due regard to the above mentioned possible errors, the AFM directs the use of
the Alternate Extension system.

Alternate Extension

Unless covered by a specific procedure in the AFM, following a landing gear retraction or extension malfunc-
tion, the landing gear must be extended using the Alternate Landing Gear Extension procedure (see NOTE in
AFM Paragraph 4.21.1).
Cycling the landing gear as an intermediate step to achieve an all gear down and locked indication is not
approved or recommended.
As the root cause of the landing gear anomaly is unlikely to be known, cycling the landing gear may create a
more difficult landing gear configuration for the flight crew to manage.
The Alternate Extension procedure was created to provide a backup means of extending the landing gear
based on a standard set of common mode failures required for certification.
Multiple system failures, compounding failures, structural failures and / or the introduction of foreign objects are
not part of, nor required for showing certification compliance.
When using the Alternate Extension procedure, flight crews must ensure:
- The Alternate Extension and Release doors are fully open and remain fully open.
- The main and nose landing gear release handles are pulled with sufficient force (may exceed 41 kg / 90 lb)
to release the doors and uplocks (pull forces in the air will likely be greater than those experienced on the
ground or in a simulator).
Continue pulling with whatever force is necessary to achieve release of all landing gear uplocks.

NOTE: A tower “flyby” technique may be useful for confirmation of landing gear position, but is not
suitable for confirmation of landing gear down and locked condition.

NON-NORMAL, SPECIAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL
PROCEDURES [Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015

BEYOND THE NORMAL AND ALTERNATE:


There have been events where unique landing gear failures prevented the extension of the landing gear using
the normal and alternate extension systems.
These circumstances are beyond certification standards and existing AFM procedures are unlikely to provide
adequate direction for rectification of the abnormal landing gear condition.
The following flight crew procedures are offered for consideration.

NOTE: The final decision with respect to the use of procedures outside those given in the AFM remain
with the Pilot In Command (PIC).

FLIGHT CREW PROCEDURAL CONSIDERATIONS:

When it is known that a landing must be performed which could be identified as an emergency landing due to
the presence of factors which introduce a hazard to the airplane and its occupants, AFM Paragraph 3.16 out-
lines the main points to be addressed as applicable.

With different potential landing gear failure scenarios, the following considerations may also be appli-
cable:

Nose Gear - UP
Main Gear - DOWN and LOCKED

If the Alternate Gear Extension procedure has been completed and it cannot be verified that the nose landing
gear is down and locked by the normal and alternate systems, the flight crew must make a decision to perform
a landing with the nose landing gear not locked or reset the Alternate Extension system and cycle the landing
gear in an attempt to achieve all gears down and locked.
It is possible to safely land the Dash 8 Q400 airplane with the nose landing gear retracted.
The geometry of the airplane is such that the propellers will not come in contact with the ground with the main
landing gear extended and the nose landing gear retracted.

In addition to the direction given in the AFM Paragraph 3.16, Emergency Landing, the following items are
offered for consideration:

• Reduce landing weight through fuel burn

• Attempt to achieve an aft CG by re-seating passengers

• Select a runway with minimal crosswind

• Land with Flap 35º

• Fly the appropriate VREF for the landing weight

• Touchdown offset from the runway centreline if the runway is equipped with a centreline lighting system

• On touchdown, hold the nose up off the runway as long as possible.


Prior to losing elevator effectivity, gently lower the nose onto the runway

• If the nose landing gear is not extended or it collapses, maintain directional control with rudder until it is no
longer effective, at which point asymmetric braking may be used as required

• If the nosewheel is on the ground and the nose landing gear appears to be locked, apply brakes and / or
reverse thrust.
If the nose landing gear is not extended or it collapses, apply brakes only.

3.4-22 CHAPTER 3
NON-NORMAL, SPECIAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL
[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015 PROCEDURES

Opting to cycle the landing gear in an effort to extend the nose gear from this abnormal situation would require
a reset of Alternate Extension procedure.

This may be accomplished by utilizing the following procedure:

1. Ensure # 2 hydraulic system pressure and quantity are normal and the following landing gear advisory
lights are illuminated:
- selector lever amber,
- gear green locked down (main gear only),
- red gear unlocked (nose gear) and
- all amber doors open.

2. NOSE L/G RELEASE Handle – Return to stowed position.

3. LANDING GEAR ALTERNATE EXTENSION Door – Close fully.

4. MAIN L/G RELEASE Handle – Return to the stowed position.

5. LANDING GEAR ALTERNATE RELEASE Door – Close fully.

6. LANDING GEAR Lever – DN.

7. L/G DOWN SELECT INHIBIT SW – Normal and Guarded.


Check amber doors open advisory lights out (main gear only) and LDG GEAR INOP caution light out.

NOTE: It may take up to 17 s for the doors to close.

8. LANDING GEAR Lever – UP.


Check all gears, doors and LANDING GEAR lever advisory lights out.

If the Flight Crew decides to cycle the landing gear in an effort to achieve all gears down:

9. LANDING GEAR Lever – DN.


Check:
- 3 green gear locked down advisory lights illuminate,
- all amber doors open,
- red gear unlocked and
- selector lever amber advisory lights out.

10. Items 8 and 9 may be repeated in an effort to achieve 3 gear down and locked.

CAUTION: Should the LDG GEAR INOP caution light illuminate, or


loss of # 2 hydraulic system pressure or quantity, or
any abnormality in landing gear system indication other than those associated with
the nose landing gear be experienced,
see AFM Paragraph 4.21.1 (ALTERNATE LANDING GEAR EXTENSION).

CHAPTER 3 3.4-23
NON-NORMAL, SPECIAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL
PROCEDURES [Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015

All Gear - UP

It is possible to safely land the Dash 8 Q400 airplane with all landing gears retracted.
The geometry of the airplane is such that the propellers should not come in contact with the ground with all
landing gears retracted, if it is possible to maintain the wings level throughout the landing.

In addition to the direction given in the AFM Paragraph 3.16, Emergency Landing and Paragraph 3.15.1, Item
6, Note 1, the following items are offered for consideration:

• Reduce landing weight through fuel burn

• Passengers must be moved from the seats in the plane of the propellers and re-seated elsewhere in the
cabin

• Select a runway with minimal crosswind

• Land with Flap 35º

• Fly the appropriate VREF for the landing weight

• Touchdown offset from the runway centreline if the runway is equipped with a centreline lighting system

• Maintain a nose-up pitch attitude not exceeding 5º prior to runway contact

• On touchdown, maintain wings level using lateral control and directional control with rudder

• Unless there is propeller / ground contact during the landing, requiring an immediate engine shutdown,
feather and secure engines once the aircraft has come to a stop.

One Main Gear - UP


Nose Gear and Opposite Main Gear - DOWN and LOCKED

If the Alternate Gear Extension procedure has been completed and it cannot be verified that both main landing
gears are down and locked by the normal and alternate systems, the flight crew may consider resetting the
alternate extension system and attempt to cycle the landing gear in order to achieve all gears down and locked
or to perform a landing with one main gear unsafe.
Opting to cycle the landing gear in an effort to extend the main gear from this abnormal situation would require
a reset of Alternate Extension procedure.

This may be accomplished by utilizing the following procedure:

1. Visually confirm that the affected gear has not extended and that the associated doors have opened.

2. Ensure # 2 hydraulic system pressure and quantity are normal and the following landing gear advisory
lights are illuminated:
- selector lever amber,
- gear green locked down (nose and unaffected main gear),
- red gear unlocked (affected main gear) and
- all amber doors open.

3. NOSE L/G RELEASE handle – Return to stowed position.

4. LANDING GEAR ALTERNATE EXTENSION door – Close fully.

5. MAIN L/G RELEASE handle – Return to the stowed position.

6. LANDING GEAR ALTERNATE RELEASE door – Close fully.

7. LANDING GEAR lever – DN.

8. L/G DOWN SELECT INHIBIT SW – Normal and guarded.


Check amber doors open advisory lights out (nose and unaffected main gear) and LDG GEAR INOP cau-
tion light out.

9. LANDING GEAR lever – UP.


Check all gears, doors and LANDING GEAR lever advisory lights out.

If the Flight Crew opt to land in this gear up configuration, see “All Gears - UP” paragraph above.

If the Flight Crew decides to cycle the landing gear in an effort to achieve all gears down:

10. LANDING GEAR lever – DN.


Check:
- 3 green gear locked down advisory lights illuminate,
- all amber doors open,
- red gear unlocked and
- selector lever amber advisory lights out.

11. Items 9 and 10 may be repeated in an effort to achieve 3 gear down and locked.

CAUTION: Should the LDG GEAR INOP caution light illuminate, or


loss of # 2 hydraulic system pressure or quantity, or
any abnormality in landing gear system indication other than those associated with
the affected main landing gear be experienced,
see AFM Paragraph 4.21.1 (ALTERNATE LANDING GEAR EXTENSION).

The flight crew must assume and prepare for the affected main landing gear to collapse on landing.

In addition to the direction given in the AFM Paragraph 3.16, Emergency Landing, the following items are
offered for consideration:

• Reduce landing weight through fuel burn

• Passengers must be moved from the seats in the plane of the propellers and re-seated elsewhere in the
cabin.
Priority is to be given to the passengers seated on the side with the indicated unsafe main landing gear

• Crosswind (if any) would be advantageous from the side with the unaffected main landing gear

• Land with Flap 35º

• Fly the appropriate VREF for the landing weight

• Giving consideration to the specific approach to be flown: flight conditions and possible missed approach,
prior to commencing the final approach, feather and secure the engine on the side with the indicated
unsafe main landing gear.

• On touchdown, maintain maximum wing down lateral control on the side with the unaffected main landing
gear

• If the unsafe main landing gear collapses, in an effort to reduce the airplane turning moment in the direc-
tion of the failed main landing gear, apply maximum braking and reverse thrust on the side with the unaf-
fected main landing gear.

• Feather and secure the operative engine

• Be prepared to action an engine fire.

PERFORMANCE [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

4.1 TAKE-OFF AND CLIMB PERFORMANCE DATA


The presentation of performance data in the AOM is made in a tabular form - compared to the graphical pre-
sentation in the Airplane Flight Manual.
The company will provide take-off mass limit tables for performance-critical airports / runways. Therefore not all
details of the AFM are presented in the AOM. The tables presented in the AOM should allow a quick determi-
nation of the allowed mass for the take-off and the accelerate - stop distance available in case no detailed take-
off mass limit is available for the runway concerned.
For reasons of simplification a V1 = VR is assumed!
Using V1 = VR there may be situations where the allowed mass for take-off is limited by the TODA or the
ASDA. Therefore the lower mass shall be depicted from either the table for:
• Maximum mass for take-off - versus ASDA -
or
• Maximum mass for take-off - versus TODA -
Under Sub-Chapter 4.1.5 the available Reference Gradients Available are given, followed by a table showing
the required reference gradient for a given obstacle height and obstacle distance (from end of TODA).

4.1.1 Mass, Altitude and Temperature Limits (MAT))


The mass limits as presented in the following tables do assure a minimum gross gradient of climb of 2.4% for
the relevant pressure altitude/OAT combination.

4.1.2 Allowed Mass for Take-Off / Dry Runway


The tables under this Sub-Chapter do allow the determination of the maximum mass for take-off for a given
ASDA and TODA.
To simplify the evaluation a V1 / VR - ratio of 1 has been used.
Using a V1 = VR means that in some instances it will not be the TODA, but the ASDA which limits the maximum
mass for take-off.
In case of very long stopways or clearways (approximately 150 m) a take-off may even be limited by the take-
off run.
In those very rare instances the TOR graphs have to be crosschecked in the AFM, as TOR data is not included
in the AOM.
In case there are no clearways and stopways available (TORA = TODA = ASDA) the limiting masses still need
to be crosschecked for the ASDA and the TODA maximum mass limit.
The lowest mass as obtained from the ASDA or TODA maximum mass limit has to be used as the take-off limit.
No correction will be required for Ice Protection Systems “ON”.
The corresponding take-off speeds will be found under Sub-Chapter 4.5.

Remember: For this kind of presentation V1 is equal to VR.

The maximum mass limits for ASDA and TODA are based on a level (no slope) runway and zero wind condi-
tion.
Therefore the ASDA and the TODA must first be corrected for the wind and slope (Sub-Chapter 4.1.2.1).
Only then the tables for the ASDA and TODA mass limits must be used by entering the table with the wind /
slope corrected ASDA and TORA.
Sub-Chapter 4.1.2.2 gives the maximum allowed mass for the (corrected) ASDA and the (corrected) TODA.

4.1.2.1 Corrections of TODA / ASDA for Wind and Slope


Enter the table with the declared ASDA and find the corrected ASDA for wind and slope.
Likewise the declared TODA shall be corrected for wind and slope.

NOTE: The declared ASDA / TODA shall - where applicable - be corrected by the line-up allowances
(Sub-Chapter 1.10.2).

The following tables show the ASDA and TODA corrected for wind and slope:
Table 1 - shows corrected ASDA for 5° Flaps.
Table 1A - shows corrected TODA for 5° Flaps.
Table 2 - shows corrected ASDA for 10° Flaps.
Table 2A - shows corrected TODA for 10° Flaps.
Table 3 - shows corrected ASDA for 15° Flaps.
Table 3A - shows corrected TODA for 15° Flaps.

4.1.2.2 Maximum Mass for ASDA and TODA

The tables shall be entered with the corrected ASDA and TODA (Sub-Chapter 4.1.2.1).
Find the limiting mass for the corresponding pressure altitude and temperature.

Remember: The lowest mass - either for ASDA or for TODA - shall be used for determination of the
allowed mass for take-off!
The so obtained mass limit may be further restricted by obstacles (see Sub-Chapter 4.1.5).

NOTE: A higher mass limit may be obtained by using a lower V1, however those relevant data are not
given in the AOM for reasons of simplification and as a conservation.

The following tables are made out for a pressure altitude of 0 up to 10000 ft in intervals of 1000 ft:
Table 4 - shows the maximum mass for ASDA for 5° Flaps.
Table 4A - shows the maximum mass for TODA for 5° Flaps.
Table 5 - shows the maximum mass for ASDA for 10° Flaps.
Table 5A - shows the maximum mass for TODA for 10° Flaps.
Table 6 - shows the maximum mass for ASDA for 15° Flaps.
Table 6A - shows the maximum mass for TODA for 15° Flaps.

4.1.3 Allowed Mass for Take-off on Wet Runway

4.1.3.1 General
A runway is considered wet when there is sufficient moisture on the runway surface to cause it to appear
reflective, but without significant areas of standing water (or equivalent).
A dry runway is one which is neither wet nor contaminated and includes those paved runways which have
been specially prepared with grooves or porous pavement and maintained to retain an “effectively dry” braking
action even when moisture is present.
Airworthiness regulations (JAR 25 X 1591) do allow a lower screen height at the end of the take-off distance
with critical engine failure such that the failure would be recognized at V1.
The screen height may be less than 35 ft (as it is the minimum for the “dry” runway case) but never less than
15 ft for the wet runway.

4.1.3.2 Calculation of the Allowed Take-off Mass for a Wet Runway - versus TODA -

The V1 for a take-off on a wet runway shall be reduced by: = 8 kt - 0,1 kt per 1 kt headwind
or
= 8 kt + 0,3 kt per 1 kt tailwind

The V1 shall however never be less than: - 97 KIAS for flaps 5°


- 96 KIAS for flaps 10° and 15°

Reducing the V1 means that - within a given take-off distance - the airplane achieves a screen height of at least
15 ft above the take-off surface.
A correction of the TODA is therefore not required and Tables 4A (5° flaps), 5A (10° flaps) and 6A (15° flaps) as
in Sub-Chapter 4.1.2.2 (= Maximum Mass for TODA) may be used after correcting for wind and slope (Sub-
Chapter 4.1.2.1, Tables 1A, 2A and 3A).

4.1.3.3 Calculation of the Allowed Take-off Mass for a Wet Runway - versus ASDA -

The V1 for a take-off on a wet runway shall be reduced by: = 8 kt - 0,1 kt per 1 kt headwind
or
= 8 kt + 0,3 kt per 1 kt tailwind

The V1 shall however never be less than: - 97 KIAS for flaps 5°


- 96 KIAS for flaps 10° and 15°

A correction of the ASDA - and therefore a correction of the maximum Mass for ASDA - is not required if the
result of the V1 reduction (V1 dry - Δ wet) is still at / above the minimum V1 for the appropriate flap setting.

In case the regulating V1 wet shows a value less than the minimum V1 then
• use minimum V1 speed
• subtract 2,4% from ASDA for each knot, the theoretical V1 wet is below the minimum V1.

Example:
• Take-off with 15° flaps
• V1 = VR (dry case) = 100 kt
• zero wind
• ASDA

Solution:
V1 wet = 100 KIAS - 8 kt (for wet runway) would be 92 kt
• use minimum V1 speed (96 kt)
• 96 - 92 kt = 4 kt x 2,4 = 9,6%
Reduce ASDA by 9,6% = 90,4%
• Calculate Maximum Mass for ASDA (with 90,4% of the ASDA) as per Tables 4, 5 and 6 in Sub-Chapter
4.1.2.2 after correcting for wind and slope (Sub-Chapter 4.1.2.1, Tables 1, 2 and 3).

4.1.4 Allowed Mass for Take-off on Contaminated Runway

NOTE: The data presented under Sub-Chapter 4.1.4 do refer to Supplement 37 of the AFM
(as approved under the EASA rules).

4.1.4.1 General

A runway is considered to be contaminated when more than 25% of the runway surface area (whether in iso-
lated areas or not) within the required length and width being used is covered by following:
• Standing water,
• Slush,
• Loose snow,
• Snow which has been compressed into a solid weight which resists further compression and will hold
together or break into lumps if picked up (= COMPACTED SNOW), or
• Ice, including wet ice (braking effectivity is expected to be very low).

NOTE: Runways with water depths, slush or loose snow less than 3 mm (0.125 in), may be
considered not contaminated provided braking is considered good.

4.1.4.2 Limitations

1. Take-off with reduced power is prohibited,

2. Operation from runways contaminated with standing water, slush or loose snow
a. Maximum operating altitude for take-off and landing is 6000 ft ASL
b. The maximum permitted WED of contaminate is 15 mm (0.59 in)
c. The maximum permitted depth of contaminate is 6 cm (2.4 in)
d. For WED greater than 3 mm (0.125 in), selection of power levers aft of DISC is prohibited
e. The maximum crosswind component for take-off and landing is 14 kt

3. Operation from runways contaminated with compacted snow


a. The maximum crosswind component for take-off and landing is 20 kt

Airworthiness regulations (JAR 25 X 1591) do allow a lower screen height at the end of the take-off distance
with critical engine failure such that the failure would be recognized at V1.

The screen height may be less than 35 ft (as it is the minimum for the “dry” runway case) but never less than
15 ft for the contaminated runway.

Other than the data provided for the AFM (Supplement 37, Operations on Contaminated Runways), JAR 25 X
1591 regulations do require one single V1 speed, so VGO (Lowest Decision Speed) shall be equal to VSTOP
(Highest Decision Speed) equal to V1.

As mentioned in the introduction to Chapter 4, V1 was assumed to be = VR.

4.1.4.3 Calculation of the WED (Water Equivalent Depth)


The precipitation depth (slush, standing water or loose snow) must be converted into the equivalent water
depth, as the WED influences the take-off distance and accelerate stop distance on a slush, water or loose
snow covered runway.
The WED is calculated by converting the contamination depth and the specific gravity of the contaminate as
shown on Table 1 of this Sub-Chapter.
It is not possible to calculate the WED for take-off by multiplying the contamination depth with the specific grav-
ity.
If SNOWTAM’s (Notice To Airmen containing RWY condition during winter season) specific gravity is not avail-
able, then the following values may be used:

LOOSE SNOW : 0.20 - 0.35


WET SNOW : 0.35 - 0.50
SLUSH : 0.35 - 0.85
WET SLUSH : 0.85 - 1.00

4.1.4.4 Take-off from a Runway contaminated with Standing Water, Slush or Loose Snow

A) Calculation of the maximum permitted take-off mass for the TODA.


Use Table 1 or 1A through 5 or 5A as applicable for the WED to find the corrected TODA (corrected for wind,
slope and contamination).
With this corrected TODA enter Table 4A, 5A or 6A (as for the appropriate flap setting) in Sub-Chapter 4.1.2.2
to find the Maximum Mass for take-off.

B) Calculation of the maximum permitted take-off mass for the ASDA.


Use Table 6 or 6A to find the corrected ASDA (corrected for wind, slope and contamination).
With this corrected ASDA enter Tables 4, 5 or 6 (as for the appropriate flap setting) in Sub-Chapter 4.1.2.2 to
find the Maximum Mass for the accelerate and stop case.

C) The lower of the 2 masses as obtained in steps A and B is the limiting mass for take-off.

4.1.4.5 Take-off from a Runway contaminated with Compacted Snow


A) Calculation of the maximum permitted take-off mass for the TODA.
Use table 1 or 1A (correction of TODA for wind, slope and compacted snow) to correct the TODA for wind,
slope and compacted snow.
With this corrected distance enter Table 4A, 5A or 6A (as for the appropriate flaps setting) in Sub-Chapter
4.1.2.2. to find the allowed mass for take-off for the TODA.
B) Calculation of the maximum permitted take-off mass for the ASDA.
Use table 2 or 2A (correction of ASDA for wind, slope and compacted snow) to correct the ASDA for wind,
slope and compacted snow. With this corrected distance enter Table 4, 5 or 6 (as for the appropriate flaps
setting) in Sub-Chapter 4.1.2.2 to find the allowed mass for take-off for the ASDA.
The lower mass as obtained in steps A and B is the maximum allowed mass for take-off on a runway contami-
nated with compacted snow.

4.1.4.6 Take-off from a Runway contaminated with Wet Ice


A) Calculation of the maximum permitted take-off mass for the TODA:
Use table 1 or 1A (correction of TODA for wind, slope and wet ice) to correct the TODA for wind, slope and
wet ice. With this corrected distance enter table 4A, 5A or 6A (as for the appropriate flaps setting) in Sub-
Chapter 4.1.2.2. to find the allowed mass for take-off for the TODA.
B) Calculation of the maximum permitted take-off mass for ASDA:
Use table 2 or 2A (correction of ASDA for wind, slope and wet ice) to correct the ASDA for wind, slope and
wet ice. With this corrected distance enter table 4, 5, 6 (as for the appropriate flaps setting) in Sub-Chapter
4.1.2.2 to find the allowed mass for take-off for the ASDA.
The lower weight as obtained in steps A and B is the maximum allowed mass for take-off on a runway contam-
inated with wet ice.

NOTE: Some authorities do not allow a commercial operation on runways with an expected or
reported braking action ”very poor”.

CHAPTER 4 4.1-177

PERFORMANCE [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

4.1.5 Fight Path Data


An excerpt from the AFM is given under this Sub-Chapter to allow a quick determination of the obstacle situa-
tion with regard to the obstacle clearance requirements. Also for the NFP - purposes, data are prepared in a
tabular format. Therefore only some combinations of obstacle heights / obstacle distances are presented in this
Sub-Chapter
As a consequence, for detailed calculations the AFM will be needed.

NOTE: As mentioned in Sub-Chapter 4.1 the company provides take-off mass limit charts for most of
the take-off-runways. Those calculations do of course consider the known obstacle situation.
The simplified presentation under this Sub-Chapter allows the determination of the available reference gradi-
ent (for a given mass, pressure altitude and temperature) – Sub-Chapter 4.1.5.1. The required reference gra-
dient results from the obstacle distance – measured from the end of the TOD – and the obstacle height –
measured above the elevation of the TOD-end – (Sub-Chapter 4.1.5.2).
It should be noted that in the presentation under Sub-Chapter 4.1.5.2 the real obstacle height should be
entered, whereas the presentation in the AFM requires the addition of the 35ft clearance to the obstacle height
before entering the applicable graphs.
The AFM uses a point 35 ft above take-off-surface as “reference 0” whilst the AOM presentation refers to a
point at the take-off-surface (… the ground) as “reference O”. Whenever the take-off mass is limited by the
TODA, the horizontal distance to the obstacle shall be measured from the end of the TODA. In all other
instances – e.g. long runways – the distance from the 35 ft point to the end of the TODA may be added to the
above distance to the obstacle.
In case of a runway slope (positive or negative) proper adjustments shall be made to the obstacle height above
the TODA end. Knowing the elevation of the obstacle(s) one may calculate the obstacle height.
4.1.5.1 Reference Gradient Available
The Reference Gradients Available (%) are presented for pressure altitudes up to 10000 ft in 1000 ft intervals
for various outside air temperatures.
For the appropriate mass the relevant reference gradient may be found. This reference gradient already con-
siders the nettage factor as per the airworthiness regulations (gross gradient – 0,8% = net gradient).
Table 1 - shows the Reference Gradients Available (in %) for 5° Flaps.
With Ice Protection “ON”, the available gradient reduces by 0,3% (with a continued 2nd segment
above 400 ft AGL reduce gradient by 1,0%).
Table 2 - shows the Reference Gradients Available (in %) for 10° Flaps.
With Ice Protection “ON”, the available gradient reduces by 0,4% (with a continued 2nd segment
above 400 ft AGL reduce gradient by 1,0%).
Table 3 - shows the Reference Gradients Available (in %) for 15° Flaps.
With Ice Protection “ON”, the available gradient reduces by 0,4% (with a continued 2nd segment
above 400 ft AGL reduce gradient by 1,1%).

NOTE: The data presented under this Sub-Chapter are applicable for the 5 min take-off power rating
and for a zero wind condition.
In case Supplement 27 is applicable, refer to the relevant AFM Supplement 27.

4.1.5.2 Required Reference Gradient


The tables under this Sub-Chapter give the required reference gradient for a selection of obstacle distances
and heights.
It should be remembered that the actual height above the take-off surface shall be used (without adding 35 ft).
Table 4 - shows the Required Reference Gradients for 5° Flaps
Table 5 - shows the Required Reference Gradients for 10° Flaps
Table 6 - shows the Required Reference Gradients for 15° Flaps

NOTES:
1. The required reference gradients presented on the next pages are only valid for a zero wind
condition. A headwind will reduce the required gradient, whilst a tailwind will increase the
required gradient.
For full details consult the AFM. When using the above tables - without the AFM - only zero
wind or headwind conditions can be calculated.
2. Whenever the acceleration height is above 400 ft AGL and the Ice Protection System is
“ON”, the obstacle height shall be assumed to be 300 ft higher.

4.1.5.3 All Engines Operative Net Gradient

From the OEI reference gradients available in Sub-Chapter 4.1.5.1 for Bleeds “OFF” and AOM Supplement 13
for Bleeds “ON”, the corresponding all engine operative (AEO) net climb gradients may be determined for
Flaps 5°, 10° & 15° using next Table.

4.1.6 Bank Angles During Climb / Gradient Losses

During a banked climbout the climb gradient reduces.


This gradient loss depends upon the bank angle.
As a rule of thumb a 15° bank already causes a loss of approximate 0.5%, which needs to be subtracted from
the available reference gradient.

The following exact gradient losses (%) will apply:

BANK ANGLE
FLAP SETTING
5° 10° 15° 20° 25° 30°
5° 0.04 0.16 0.36 0.65 1.05 N/A

10° 0.05 0.19 0.45 0.64 1.02 N/A

15° 0.06 0.22 0.51 0.66 0.99 N/A

Speed adjustments during bank:


• up to 15° bank - no adjustment (V2)
• 20° bank - V2 + 5 kt
• 25° bank - V2 + 10 kt
• 30° bank - N/A

4.1.6 Radius of Turn for a 15° Banked Turn


In case, a banked net flight path needs to be constructed, the turning radii are presented in the following table.
The radius (in ft) is given for the appropriate speed and density altitude.
In case, the distance travelled during turn needs to be calculated, then proceed as follows:

Example:
- Given: 130 KIAS, SL, 10°C;
- Calculate: distance for a 45° heading change;
- Solution:
1st step: find out radius of turn = 1650 m,
2nd step: calculate distance for a 360° turn: 2 x 1650 = diameter x 3,14 = 10362 m,
3rd step: calculate distance for a 45° turn: 45 / 360 = 0,125 x 10362 = 1295 m
- Result: a total distance of 1295 m is needed with a 15° banked turn for a 45° heading change.

4.2.1 General

This Sub-Chapter presents the single engine service ceiling, the relevant speed as well as the driftdown proce-
dures.
The “single engine service ceiling” is that pressure altitude the airplane may maintain with one engine out for a
given mass and temperature combination providing the relevant speed schedule is observed.

[Rev. 8] 13 SEP 2013 PERFORMANCE

4.2.3 Driftdown Procedures

Regulations do require a calculation of a driftdown profile whenever the one engine out service ceiling (= the
altitude you may maintain with one engine out) should be below the minimum safe altitude (MEA - Minimum
En-Route Altitude, MORA - Minimum Off-Route Altitude).

The driftdown profile is that profile which is achieved during driftdown from cruising altitude - when the engine
failure occurs - until reaching the one engine out service ceiling.

The associated speeds are given under Sub-Chapter 4.2.2.

The tables presented on the next pages present the time, the distance and the fuel needed from cruising alti-
tude until reaching a given MEA / MORA / safe altitude.

Example: ISA + 35°C


MEA = 16000 ft
Cruising Level = 21000 ft
Mass = 26 t
Result: 14 min - 49 NM - 137 kg

This means, it takes 14 min and 49 NM to descend from 21000 ft PA to a PA of 16000 ft.

It would take 32 min, 111 NM and 343 kg if the MEA / MORA would be at 13000 ft.

So, you may also calculate the time, distance and fuel from 16000 ft for a further driftdown to 13000 ft.

driftdown from 21000 ft to 16000 ft = 14 min 49 NM 137 kg


driftdown from 21000 ft to 13000 ft = 32 min 111 NM 343 kg
16000 - 13000 ft = 18 min 62 NM 206 kg

The single engine net ceiling would be 11300 ft for 26 t at ISA + 35°C (Sub-Chapter 4.2.2).

All tables are made out for ICE PROTECTION SYSTEMS “ON”.

Only a very modest improvement of the driftdown figures may be achieved with ICE PROTECTION SYSTEMS
“OFF”.

For reasons of conservatism only the figures for ICE PROTECTION SYSTEMS “ON” are presented in this
Sub-Chapter.

Table 1 - driftdown profile ISA + 35°C


Table 2 - driftdown profile ISA + 30°C
Table 3 - driftdown profile ISA + 20°C
Table 4 - driftdown profile ISA + 10°C
Table 5 - driftdown profile ISA
Table 6 - driftdown profile ISA - 10°C

The above driftdown tables show:


- the time in min
- the distance in NM and
- the fuel in kg.

4.2.4 Example of Driftdown Profiles


(to be worked out by the operator)

It is the responsibility of the operator to include driftdown procedures whenever these procedures are required
for those route sectors in the airline’s route network which are “critical”.

To define which sector is critical, the highest MEA / MORA / safe altitude in the route network shall be depicted
from the airway charts.

It is furthermore of importance to define an expected maximum temperature envelope for the area / route.

So, it will be most unlikely to find conditions of ISA + 35°C in Alaska, but flights over the Sahara may very well
be exposed to temperature conditions of ISA + 35°C.

So, for instance, with a mass of 29 t at ISA + 20°C, a service ceiling of 12390 ft PA (Sub-Chapter 4.2.2) is
established.

In case all MEAs / MORAs in the airline’s route work should be at / below 12000 ft, there is no need for the pre-
sentation of driftdown profiles.

However, in case there would be a route showing a MEA of 15000 ft (for example) there would be a require-
ment to show a driftdown procedure.

On the next page an example for a zero wind condition is shown.

The example shows a critical route sector of 80 NM at a MEA of 16000 ft.

The driftdown tables show a distance of 49 NM (zero wind) to driftdown from 21000 ft PA to 16000 ft PA.

So, the driftdown profiles clear the critical edge by 9 NM horizontally on both directions.

4.3 APPROACH AND LANDING CLIMB LIMITS

4.3.1 General
Airworthiness requirements specify a minimum missed approach climb gradient of 2,1% for twin engine air-
planes in the “approach configuration”. There are 3 permitted landing flap settings, 10°, 15° and 35°.
The following approach flap settings will apply:
Landing Flaps Approach Flaps
10° 5°
15° 10°
35° 15°

As far as the missed approach climb limits are concerned, the “Landing MAT limits” do assure the required gra-
dient of 2,1% (for CAT II/III operations 2,5%) for the appropriate mass / pressure altitude / temperature com-
bination. For operational reasons higher gradients (higher than 2,1% or 2,5%) may be required for some
missed approach procedures – as a result of the obstacle situation in the missed approach flight path. For
those purposes the available missed approach climb gradients are presented under Sub-Chapter 4.3.4.

4.3.2 Mass Limits for CAT I / Non Precision Approaches


The limits presented under 4.3.2 do apply for all non CAT II/III operations if no higher required gradient is pro-
mulgated for the appropriate missed approach procedure.

4.3.4 Missed Approach Climb Gradients (Gross Gradients) Available


As mentioned in 4.3.1, the minimum required missed approach climb gradient - as per JAR 25 - is 2,1% for non
precision and CAT I approaches and 2,5% for CAT II/III approaches.
In case a published missed approach procedure does not promulgate a specific minimum gradient, it may be
assumed that the missed approach procedure does not require a gradient higher than the above 2,1% or 2,5%
gradient.
However there may be airports and missed approach procedures where a higher gradient is required for obsta-
cle reasons (... this missed approach procedure requires a gradient of ...%...) is promulgated.
For this purpose, Sub-Chapter 4.3.4 presents the available missed approach climb gradients (gross) for the
relevant mass, pressure altitude and temperature.
Table 1 - missed approach gradients 5° App flaps.
Table 2 - missed approach gradients 10° App flaps.
Table 3 - missed approach gradients 15° App flaps.

NOTE: The missed approach climb gradients as presented in table 1-3a are valid for the speeds as
given under Sub-Chapter 4.5.3 with the landing gear retracted.

4.4 LANDING

4.4.1 General
JAR-OPS 1 requirements differentiate between “dispatch requirements” and the “actual landing requirements”.
For the dispatch requirements the regulations for propeller driven airplanes state that the actual (= unfactored)
landing distance shall not exceed 70% of the available landing distance. Using a factor, this means that the
unfactored landing distance shall be factored with 1,43 to obtain the required landing field length. For wet
runways an additional factor of 1,15 shall be used.

4.4.2 Dispatch Requirements


As mentioned under 4.4.1 the unfactored landing distance (= distance from 50 ft above threshold to full stop)
shall not exceed 70% of the available LDA - in case of a dry runway. When computing the maximum mass for
landing for a given LDA, regulations do only require to consider
• the aerodrome altitude,
• the wind, and
• the slope - if greater than ± 2%.
The Dash 8-Q400 is restricted to a maximum slope of 2%. From that it follows that the slope could be disre-
garded. However the AFM also provides correction factors for the slope and it is company standard also to
consider the slope.

4.4.2.1 Maximum Mass for Landing/Dispatch


The presentation under this Sub-Chapter is made out to show the maximum mass for landing for a given run-
way length (considering the 70% rule).
The LDA (Landing Distance Available) as shown in the AIP must first be corrected for the wind and the slope
(see tables 1, 1a and 1b). With this corrected distance, tables 2, 2a and 2b may be entered to obtain the maxi-
mum allowed landing mass. Needless to say, in case of a zero slope and a zero wind, tables 2, 2a and 2b may
be used right away without tables 1, 1a and 1b.
In case of a wet runway the LDA must however first be corrected by multiplying the (dry) LDA with the wet run-
way factor of 0,87 to obtain the LDA corrected for the wet runway. Therefore, an LDA of - for instance - 1400
m converts into a LDA of only 1218 in case of a wet runway.
Table 1 shows the correction factors for wind and slope for the LDA 10° flaps.
Table 1a shows the correction factors for wind and slope for the LDA 15° flaps.
Table 1b shows the correction factors for wind and slope for the LDA 35° flaps.
Table 2 shows the maximum mass for landing - versus corrected LDA 10° flaps.
Table 2a shows the maximum mass for landing - versus corrected LDA 15° flaps.
Table 2b shows the maximum mass for landing - versus corrected LDA 35° flaps.

PERFORMANCE [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

4.4.3 Requirements for Actual Landing


Before commencing the approach, the flight deck crew shall also verify that - based upon the runway condition
report(s) - the landing distance requirements are met. To calculate the required landing distance (for actual
landing - not for dispatch purposes.) the following scheme will apply:
a. a) unfactored landing distance - corrected for at least the wind (correction of the slope is optional)
plus:
b. b) correction factor for CONTAMINATED runway (when applicable)
= CORRECTED/UNFACTORED LANDING DISTANCE, multiplied with the 1,15 operational factor
= REQUIRED DISTANCE FOR ACTUAL LANDING
RMK: This distance shall never be less than the distance as required for dispatch purposes (see Sub-Chapter
4.4.2). It should be remembered that the dispatch requirements do consider the 1,43 factor = 100
---------- and -
70
eventually an additional 1,15 factor for wet runways.
Example: Unfactored dry distance 800 m dispatch = 1143 m/dry (= 800 x 1,43) or 1316 m/wet (1144 x 1,15).
Therefore, the same 800 m unfactored “dry distance” must for actual landing be corrected by the applicable
correction for the kind of contaminate (see page 4.4-20) and than be multiplied with the 1,15 operational factor.

4.4.3.1 Unfactored Landing Distances


Tables 1, 1a and 1b show the unfactored landing distance (the distance from 50 ft above threshold without any
correction).

4.4.3.2 Correction Factors for Wind and Slope


The unfactored distances (as per 4.4.5) shall at least be corrected for wind - before adding other corrections
(such as 15% for wet or contaminated runways or for system failures). As already mentioned under 4.4.2 reg-
ulations do only require the application of wind corrections. A slope correction only needs to be considered for
slopes in excess of ± 2%. However company standards also call for the application of the relevant slope cor-
rections.

4.4.3.3 Corrections for Contaminated Runways

NOTE: The data presented under this Sub-Chapter refers to Supplement 37 of the AFM.

For CONTAMINATED runways add the corrections, as presented on the following page, for the applicable
WED / Landing.
1. Deceleration assumes both engines operating and the use of discing during stopping.
2. Landing on Wet or Contaminated Runways is permitted with 10°, 15° or 35° Flaps.
3. Also remember that the sum of:
unfactored Landing Distance (corrected for Wind and Slope)
+ corrections for Contaminated Runways
= corrected unfactored Landing Distance
This distance must be factored with an operational factor of 1,15 for Actual Landing.

4.4.3.4 Example for the Calculation of the “Landing Distance - Actual Landing”

NOTE: Under this Sub-Chapter an example has been worked out to show how the “in-flight landing
requirements” may be met.

Example:

Given:
1) Landing Mass = 27 t
PA = SL
2) Wind = 5 kt Tailwind
Slope = 2% uphill
3) Runway Condition = Compacted Snow
Speed = VREF
4) Flaps 35°

Requested: Landing Distance = ?

Solution:

1st Step
find unfactored Landing Distance for 27 t at SL
(Sub-Chapter 4.4.4, Table 1b)
- result = 753 m

2nd Step
correct this distance (~ 750 m) for 5 kt Tailwind and 2% uphill Slope
(Sub-Chapter 4.4.3.2, Table 1b)
- result = 720 m

3rd Step
find correction for Compacted Snow for standard VREF
(Sub-Chapter 4.4.3.3)
- result [+ 360 + 122 = 482 m]

NOTE: To determine whether the 122 m correction is applicable, see the NOTE from Table 2.

By following those 3 steps we can calculate the required distance to land as follows:

Unfactored Landing Distance / corrected for Wind and Slope (see steps 1 & 2) 720 m
+ correction for Compacted Snow (see step 3) 482 m
= subtotal 1202 m

Multiply this distance with the operational factor (1,15) to obtain required Landing Distance
1202 x 1,15 = 1382 m

Final Result: 1382 m = Landing Distance

4.4.4 Unfactored Landing Distance in Abnormal Configurations

Multiply the Unfactored Landing Distance corrected for Wind and Slope (Sub-Chapter 4.4.3) with the following
factors:

5° flaps = 2,0
Brake anti-skid failure 1,7 1,7 1,7
Airframe de-icing system air supply failure or airframe boot failure 1,8 1,8 N/A
Continuous illumination of roll SPLR 1 or SPLR 2 1,35 1,35 1,35
Roll control malfunction (SPLR 1 or SPLR 2 does not illuminate) 1,5 1,5 1,5
Roll control jam (with right control wheel free) 1,40 1,40 N/A
Propeller electronic control malfunction
(both engines in flight idle during stopping)
AND 1,35 1,35 1,35
Illumination of propeller ground range advisory light
(both engines in flight idle during stopping)
One engine inoperative approach and landing
1,40 1,40 1,50
(operating engine in flight idle when stopping)
Elevator control jam 1,35 1,35 N/A
Directional control malfunction
1,40 1,40 1,50
(assuming both engines not in discing during stopping)
Spoiler cable failure 1,40 1,40 N/A

In addition to the applicable factors for System Failures, the following factors do apply when using VREF
speeds in abnormal configurations higher than the normal VREF speeds (Sub-Chapter 4.5.5):
Table B
Speed Corrections
VREF Distance Factor
DRY RWY / VREF 1,0
DRY RWY / VREF + 10 1,2
WET RWY / VREF 1,5
WET RWY / VREF + 10 1,7

Example:
Flapless Landing, · Wet RWY, · VREF, · 0 - Wind, · 0% Slope, · 10° Flaps, · SL, · 26 t Landing Mass:
1st Step: find unfactored / uncorrected distance (Table 1, Sub-Chapter 4.4.3) => 850 m
nd
2 Step: multiply with the factor for flapless landing (Table A, above) => 850 x 2,0 = 1700 m
rd
3 Step: multiply with the speed / distance correction (Table B, above) => 1700 x 1,5 = 2550 m

NOTE: The factors will not be used for landing on contaminated runways and do not include
operational factors
The above factors may only be used to assess the balance of risk between a hazardous
diversion and a possible landing over-run

4.5 SPEEDS

4.5.1 General
In this sub-chapter the relevant speeds for take-off, approach and landing are presented. Furthermore the rele-
vant stalling speeds are added. The take-off speeds only show the VR and the V2-speeds. As explained under
4.1, the tables showing the maximum mass for take-off – versus TODA and ASDA – are based upon a V1 = VR .
The VR and V2 speeds depend upon the air density. This is why the two speeds are given for a selected tem-
perature/pressure altitude combination.

4.5.1.1 VMCA/VMCG (CAS)


Flaps VMCA VMCG
0° 113 101
5° 98 89
10° 95 89
15° 91 89

4.5.2 Take-off Speeds


Table 1 shows the VR speed for 5° Flaps
Table 1a shows the VR speed for 10° Flaps
Table 1b shows the VR speed for 15° Flaps
Table 2 shows the V2 speed for 5° Flaps
Table 2a shows the V2 speed for 10° Flaps
Table 2b shows the V2 speed for 15° Flaps
NOTES:
1. As it may be seen from the above tables the influence of the density may be up to 4 kts on
VR and V2 speeds. Therefore caution shall be exercised when publishing VR and V2 values
without considering the density. Therefore a speed booklet should show the applicability for
the respective density range.
2. No correction to V1, VR and V2 will be required with Ice Protection Systems “ON” except:
when at/above 400 ft AGL add 20 kt for 5° flaps, 10° flaps and 15° flaps.
3. Minimum speeds for V1 and VR (KIAS):
5° flaps 10° flaps 15° flaps
Minimum V1 97 96 96
Minimum VR 108 104 100
4. For V1 wet see Sub-Chapter 4.5.2.1 on page 4.5-11.

4.5.8 Speed Booklet


– to be prepared by the airline –
The airline may prepare a speed booklet showing the relevant speeds for take-off, approach and landing.
When preparing such a speed booklet typical airport altitudes and temperatures for the route network shall be
considered for the purpose of establishing the VR and V2 - speeds to minimize the density errors. However it
should be kept in mind that field length data are based upon the use of correct V1, VR and V2 values. Any take-
off speeds differing from the correct speeds (see also Sub-Chapter 4.5.1) may result in take-off - and acceler-
ate - stop-distances different from those presented in the AOM/AFM.

4.6 BRAKE ENERGY LIMITS

4.6.1 Brake Energy in Accelerate-Stop


The maximum permitted brake energy level in Accelerate-Stop is 57,7 ft. lb x 106. This limit shall not be
exceeded. Therefore it must be checked, whether the planned take-off mass allows to stay below the above
limit. The tables presented under this subchapter shall be used as follows:
Step 1: Find brake energy load for ASD - for zero wind and zero slope.
Step 2: Correct this figure for the influence of the slope and wind.

Table 1 - brake energy load in Accelerate-Stop - Flaps 5°


Table 1a - correction of brake energy level for wind + slope - Flaps 5°
Table 2 - brake energy load in Accelerate-Stop - Flaps 10°
Table 2a - correction of brake energy level for wind + slope - Flaps 10°
Table 3 - brake energy load in Accelerate-Stop - Flaps 15°
Table 3a - correction of brake energy level for wind + slope - Flaps 15°

NOTE: V1 = VR
Example 1
Under the following conditions
• 5° Flaps T/O
• 4000 ft PA/35°C OAT
• 28,69 tons TOM
• 10 kt tailwind
• 2% downhill slope
the maximum permitted brake energy level will not be exceeded.

Example 2
Using 10° Flaps T/O and
• 7000 ft PA/30°C OAT
• 29 tons TOM
• 10 kt tailwind
• 1% downhill slope
the limits are not exceeded.

Example 3
Using 15° Flaps T/O and
• 10000 ft PA/30°C OAT
• 29,257 tons TOM

4.6.2 Brake Energy in Landing


The maximum permitted brake energy level in Landing is 39,9 ft. lb x 106. When dispatching a flight to desti-
nation and/or prior landing it must be checked whether this limit is not exceeded.
Same as for the take-off check, the first table is used to find the brake energy level for landing - for zero wind
and zero slope. The second table helps to correct this value for wind and slope.
Table 4 - brake energy load in landing - Flaps 10°
Table 4a - correction of brake energy level for wind + slope - Flaps 10°
Table 5 - brake energy load in landing - Flaps 15°
Table 5a - correction of brake energy level for wind + slope - Flaps 15°
Table 6 - brake energy load in landing - Flaps 35°
Table 6a - correction of brake energy level for wind + slope - Flaps 35°
Example 1
Under the following conditions
• 10° Flaps landing
• Sea level/50°C OAT
• 28 tons Landing Mass
• 5 kt tailwind
• 1% uphill slope
the brake energy level is just at the permitted brake energy level of 39,9 ft. lb x 106.

Example 2
Using 15° Flaps for landing and
• 1000 ft PA/45°C OAT
• 27,2 tons Landing Mass
• 5 kt tailwind
• 2% downhill slope
the brake energy level is just below the permitted brake energy level of 39,9 ft. lb x 106.

Example 3
Using 35° Flaps for landing and
• 7000 ft PA/35°C OAT
• 28 tons Landing Mass
• 5 kt tailwind
• 2% downhill slope
the brake energy level is also within limits.

Remarks 1: Other than for the take-off, a check of the brake energy level for landing may be required even for
Sea Level airports.

Remarks 2: When Ice Protection Systems are “ON” and operating in icing conditions brake energy level
increases as follows:
10° + 15° flaps = + 27%
35° flaps = + 23%

4.6.3 Minimum Turn-Around Time

The brake energy load experienced during landing and the brake energy level for the planned next take-off
(brake energy level for the accelerate-stop) may require a certain minimum turn-around time.

Based upon the results of the calculation of the brake energy load in Accelerate-Stop (Sub-Chapter 4.6.1) and
the brake energy load in Landing (Sub-Chapter 4.6.2), the table below helps to determine the minimum time
between Landing and Take-Off.

PERFORMANCE [Rev. 18] 21 NOV 2016

4.7 EFFECT of DE-ICING and ANTI-ICING FLUIDS

4.7.1 General

The viscosity of the individual fluids will influence the aerodynamic behaviour of the airplane.

Some de-icing / anti-icing fluids will influence the take-off performance.

In all other flight stages - climb, cruise, descent, approach and landing - no effect on the aerodynamical behav-
iour was observed.

The SAE hold-over times of the generic fluids are presented in Sub-Chapter 2.15.4.1 “Holdover Times (HOT)”.

The guidelines and instructions for using de-icing / anti-icing fluids are incorporated in the Aircraft Maintenance
Manual and the Ramp Service Manual.

4.7.2 Approved SAE Low Speed Type III Fluids

These fluids may be used full strength (or diluted per the fluid manufacturer’s instructions) over the fluid manu-
facturer’s recommended temperature range under the following conditions:

(1) All approved take-off flap settings

(2) Rotation should be smooth and at a normal rate - “Avoid Rapid Rotation”.

(3) No correction to the take-off distances and speeds is needed.

NOTE: For SAE High Speed Type III fluids, apply the take-off distances and speeds corrections as
shown in Table 1 of Sub-Chapter 4.7.3 below.

4.7.3 Approved SAE Type I, SAE Type II and SAE Type IV Fluids

These fluids may be used full strength (or diluted per the fluid manufacturer’s instructions) over the fluid manu-
facturer’s recommended temperature range, under the following conditions:

(1) Rotation should be smooth and at a normal rate

(2) Avoid Rapid Rotation

(3) The take-off speeds, take-off distances and accelerate-stop brake energy must be corrected by the
margins as shown in Table 1.

NOTE: Where close-in obstacle(s) impact the second climb segment, the increased V2 is to be
maintained to a gross height of 400 ft AGL.
Thereafter the uncorrected V2 must be flown to the end of the second climb segment.
For all other cases, the increased V2 may be continued to the end of the second climb seg-
ment.

4.7.4 Approved SAE Type I Fluids

SAE Type I fluids containing ethylene glycol, di-ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, when diluted 50 : 50 or
more with water can be used with any flap setting over the fluid manufacturer’s recommended temperature
range without any take-off corrections (take-off speeds, take-off distances and accelerate-stop brake energy).

4.8 OPERATION WITH LANDING GEAR EXTENDED

This procedure corresponds to Supplement 94 of the AFM.

4.8.1 GENERAL
In conjunction with a Minimum Equipment List, approved by local airworthiness authorities and subject to com-
pliance with the limitations outlined in Sub-Chapter 1.10.3 and the operating procedures in Sub-Chapter
3.2.21, the airplane may be operated with the landing gear extended.
The performance penalties outlined in Sub-Chapter 4.8.2 will apply, likewise the Flight Planning Data of Sub-
Chapter 4.8.2.1.

NOTE: The data in Sub-Chapters 4.8.2 and 4.8.2.1 may also be used as a reference for those
situations, when the landing gear will fail to retract after take-off and when a landing at the
departure airport will not be possible. In this case an in-flight calculation of Flight Time and Trip
Fuel to the next suitable aerodrome will be required.

4.8.2 PERFORMANCE DATA

4.9 ALL ENGINE CLIMB GRADIENTS

4.9.1 General
The all engine climb gradients presented under this sub-chapter are based upon the noise abatement proce-
dure as outlined in ICAO DOC 8168 method A:
Climb to 1500 ft above airfield elevation at normal take-off power (take-off flaps/V2 + 10 kts);
− at 1500 ft reduce to max. climb power and increase speed to V2 + 20 kts;
− at 3000 ft initiate flap retraction and accelarate to en-route climb speed.
The calculated average climb gradients for the various flap settings show only little variations, therefore, only
data for flaps 5° are presented.

4.12.1-2 CHAPTER 4

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 PERFORMANCE

4.12.1.1 General
It is the option of the operator to use a reduced power take-off when taking off from dry runways or wet run-
ways whenever the actual take-off weight is lower than the limiting take-off weight for the appropriate runway/
obstacle situation. The reduced power take-off is based upon the ATM (assumed outside air temperature
method).
This means, the pilot “assumes” a temperature which is higher than the actual OAT. This assumed higher tem-
perature shall not exceed that temperature which is limiting for the appropriate take-off weight (runway + obsta-
cles + WAT (MAT) limits).
The ATM works as follows:
1. At the airport pressure altitude, enter the ground torque setting chart NORMAL TAKE-OFF POWER
(GROUND) with an assumed (higher) temperature (higher than the actual OAT but not exceeding ISA
+35°C). However, the selected torque shall not be below 90% of the Normal take-off power setting or the
torque as applicable for Take-off with BLEED “ON” (see Sub-Chapter 4.10).
2. At the same assumed OAT used for the torque setting, determine the take-off weight limits as per Sub-
Chapter 4.1 or as per the individual computed runway weight (mass) chart.
3. Alternatively you may start with the second step first, checking the maximum temperature you may take-off
on a given runway/obstacle situation with the known take-off weight (mass). For instance:
Your actual TOW (TOM) is 44000 lb (20 tons) and your actual OAT is 10°C. Your take-off weight (mass)
calculation (or computerized take-off weight (mass) limit chart) shows that you could also take-off on this
runway with 44000 lb (20 tons) at a temperature of - say - +40°C (so, you would be safe for a take-off with
44000 lb (20 tons) and still observe WAT (MAT), runway and obstacle limitations even with +40°C,
although your actual OAT is only +10°C).
Based upon the 40°C select your normal take-off torque but make sure the torque is at least 90%.

4.12.2.1 Limitations
Refer to Sub-Chapter 1.10.5 for the limitations pertaining to this supplement.

4.12.2.2 Applicability
With the BLEED selector set to “MIN”, the take-off and climb performance as well as the approach/missed
approach performance deteriorates by the “BLEED” losses experienced.
Those losses are equivalent to an increase of the actual OAT by 11°C.

4.12.2.3 Performance Corrections


Take-off and Climb:
When entering the WAT/MAT limit tables, the tables for the allowed weight for ASDA and TODA and the tables
showing the reference net gradient available, the temperature selected shall be 11°C higher than the actual
temperature.
Approach/Missed Approach:
Likewise as for the take-off and climb, the temperature shall be assumed to be 11°C higher than actual when
using the APPROACH AND LANDING CLIMB LIMITS (Sub-Chapter 4.3).

4.12.2.4 Torque Settings


The torque setting for a take-off with bleed “ON” may be found in the AOM, Sub-Chapter 4.10.

4.12.16.4 Performance Data


1. MAT limits see Sub-Chapter 4.12.16.4.1.
2. Net take-off flight path - Reference gradients available as per Tables 1, 2 and 3 of Sub-Chapter 4.1.5.1.

Correct gradients as follows:

T/O flaps with commencement of 3rd seg- with continued 2nd segment
ment at 1000 ft AGL above 1000 ft AGL
5° - 0,3% - 0,10%
10° - 0,4% - 0,10%
15° - 0,4% -0,11%
3. Net take-off flight path
When in or before entering icing conditions with a continued second segment above 1000 ft AGL height
above ref zero must be assumed to be 300 ft lower.

4.12.16.4.1 MAT Llimits


When taking-off into icing conditions to 1000 ft AGL with REF SPEEDS switch OFF, the normal MAT limits
(Sub-Chapter 4.1.1) DO NOT apply. Instead, the following limits apply:
Table 1 - flaps 5° - Take-off
• When above 7500 ft ASL a further correction of 1540 kg is needed when in or before entering icing condi-
tions.
Table 2 - flaps 10° - Take-off
• When above 7500 ft ASL and with commencement of third segment at 1000 ft AGL, subtract 225 kg from
the limits in this table.
• When above 7500 ft ASL for a continued second segment above 1000 ft AGL, subtract 590 kg from the lim-
iting masses.
Table 3 - flaps 15° - Take-off
• When above 5500 ft ASL and with commencement of third segment at 1000 ft AGL, subtract 160 kg from
the limiting masses.
• When above 5500 ft ASL for a continued second segment above 1000 ft AGL, subtract 790 kg.
For all 3 tables the associated conditions are:
• engine bleed OFF
• de-icing system OFF

CHAPTER 5 5.1-1

FLIGHT PLANNING [Rev. 15] 30 OCT 2015

5.1 GENERAL

Chapter 5 comprises all the required data (as per EASA-OPS) to produce an Operational Flight Plan (OFP) for
each flight.

In case an OFP is not available, a manual OFP may be prepared by using the relevant data for calculating the
climb, cruise and descent phase.

5.1.1 Fuel Policy

For carrying out a plausibility check for both, a computer generated OFP or a manually prepared OFP, a "Pre-
Planning Table" has been prepared (see Sub-Chapter 5.2).

This table allows the determination of the approximate TRIP TIME and TRIP FUEL for a given, wind corrected,
airway distance.

TRIP FUEL TO DESTINATION - Time and Fuel for: take-off


climb
cruise
descent
approach
and landing

+ CONTINGENCY FUEL - 5% of calculated Trip Fuel

+ ALTERNATE FUEL - Fuel needed to divert from MAP (Missed Approach Point) at
destination to alternate via missed approach routing, the most
suitable airways to the alternate including STARs.
Distance should consider the average between the most
favourable departure route and - likewise - the average of the
shortest and longest STAR (Standard Terminal Arrival).
- When specific alternate information is not available, a mini-
mum of 400 kg Alternate Fuel is recommended.

+ HOLDING FUEL - 30 min at holding speed (1500 ft - ISA)

= MIMIMUM TAKE-OFF FUEL

+ EXTRA FUEL - If any (refer to applicable tables)

= ACTUAL TAKE-OFF FUEL

+ FUEL FOR ENGINE START and TAXI

= RAMP FUEL

[Rev. 15] 30 OCT 2015 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

5.1.2 ETOPS - Threshold Distance

The Dash 8-Q400 operation is not approved for ETOPS (Extended-range Twin-engine Operations) flights.

The planned route must not be farther than 60 min of flying time, from an adequate airport, at one-engine inop-
erative cruise speed.

In compliance with EASA OPS.CAT.225.A(b), the distance to threshold is calculated as 276 NM still air distance .

5.1.3 Operation with Ice Protection System “ON”

Data presented in Chapter 5 as Ice Protection Systems “ON” and / or Icing Conditions shows data (usually a
correction) that accommodate either:

a) Power extraction for Ice Protection Systems

b) Power extraction for Ice Protection Systems and the effect of speed increase required
“in or before icing” or “in icing”, where applicable

c) Same as b) above and also accounting for performance degradation due to flight in icing, if applicable.

The type of performance data in icing are specified in each sub-chapter, as appropriate.

5.2 PRE-PLANNING TABLE

5.2.1 General

The following tables allow an approximate calculation of the BLOCK TIME and BLOCK FUEL for High Speed
Cruise (HSC) and Long Range Cruise (LRC).

These tables do not replace the requirement for the preparation of an Operational Flight Plan (OFP).

The TRIP TIME / TRIP FUEL tables use:


- Climb Type I, High Speed Cruise, Descent Type I and minimum time technique for the High Speed Cruise
Trip Time / Trip Fuel table;
- Climb Type II, Long Range Cruise, Descent Type II and minimum fuel technique for the Long Range Cruise
Trip Time / Trip Fuel table.

5.2.2 Allowances

The following allowances are included in the TRIP TIME / TRIP FUEL tables:
- Take-off: 1 min and 28 kg
- Circuit and Landing: 2 min and 22 kg

To calculate BLOCK TIME / BLOCK FUEL add 5 kg for each minute of “ Taxi Out ” and “ Taxi In ”.

CHAPTER 5 5.4-1

FLIGHT PLANNING [Rev. 5] 17 JUL 2012

5.4 CLIMB (Time, Distance, Fuel)

5.4.1 General

Under this Sub-Chapter data are given to calculate the Climb:


- time (min)
- distance (NM)
- fuel (kg)

All data refer to a Climb from Sea Level (SL).

In case the take-off is from a high elevation airport (for instance from 8000 ft PA) to FL 250, then a separate
calculation must be made:

1st step: climb time, distance, fuel to FL 250

minus 2nd step: climb time, distance, fuel to FL 80

= difference: climb time, distance and fuel for a climb from FL 80 to FL 250

The following Types of Climb are presented:

Tables 1 & 4 - Type I Climb

It is the High Speed Climb, at a speed that is reaching the Long Range Cruise speeds and limited by ceil-
ing requirements.
It is using the most fuel but provides the shortest time and the longest distance.

Tables 2 & 5 - Type II Climb

It is the Intermediate Speed Climb, at a speed that is approximately halfway between Type I and Type III
speed and limited by ceiling requirements.
Time, Distance and Fuel are approximately averages of Type I and Type III Times, Distances and Fuel.

Tables 3 & 6 - Type III Climb

It is the Low Speed Climb, at a speed that has a small margin to 1.23 VSR.
It is using the least fuel and it takes the longest time, the shortest distance and the best climb gradient.

Tables 1 to 3f - show the data for 900 RPM.


Tables 4 to 6f - show the data for 850 RPM.

- The Tables include the applicable Speed (KIAS) and Torque (TRQ) data.

- The Tables do not include the Take-off Allowances.


Take-off Allowances:
• APU Average Fuel Consumption: 1.5 kg/min
• Engine Start and Taxi Out: 5 kg/min
• Take-off: 1 min and 28 kg

5.5 CRUISE-DATA
(LONG RANGE CRUISE, INTERMEDIATE SPEED CRUISE, HIGH SPEED CRUISE
and MAXIMUM CRUISE RATING)

5.5.1 General

The following definitions are given for different cruise regimes:

a. LONG RANGE CRUISE (LRC)


- As published, it is actually the industry standard of 99% of maximum SAR
(Specific Air Range, 0 enroute winds, measured in NM/kg fuel - metric AOM & NM/lb fuel - imperial AOM)
- For a small SAR reduction (1%), there is a significant speed advantage

b. INTERMEDIATE SPEED CRUISE (ISC)


- Half-Speed (KTAS) between HSC and LRC (compromise between best time and best range)
and also considers speed limitations and temperature related limits

c. HIGH SPEED CRUISE (HSC)


- It has a better fuel burn than MCR for a small speed reduction (approximately 91% of MCR power)

d. MAXIMUM CRUISE RATING (MCR)


- Limited by VMO where applicable, it is the "minimum time speed"

e. MAXIMUM ENDURANCE (ME)


- For Holding (maximum time and minimum fuel). See Sub-Chapter 5.10, Holding

5.5.2 Cruise Tables for LRC, ISC, HSC and MCR

Data for 4 different cruise regimes are given, as follows:

Tables 1a to 1g – show the LRC data for ISA - 20°C to ISA + 35°C conditions

Tables 2a to 2g – show the ISC data for ISA - 20°C to ISA + 35°C conditions

Tables 3a to 3g – show the HSC data for ISA - 20°C to ISA + 35°C conditions

Tables 4a to 4g – show the MCR data for ISA - 20°C to ISA + 35°C conditions

NOTE: Fuel flow is for both engines.

5.7 DESCENT
(Time, Distance, Fuel)

5.7.1 General

This Sub-Chapter presents data to calculate the Descent:


- time (min)
- distance (NM)
- fuel (kg)

All data refer to a Descent from cruising altitude to a Sea Level airport at zero wind conditions.

In case of a descent to a high elevation airport (for instance landing at PA 5000 ft) a separate calculation must
be made:

1st step: descent from cruising PA to sea level

minus 2nd step: descent from landing PA to sea level


= difference: descent time, fuel and distance from cruising to landing PA

5 different Types of Descent are presented:

Table 1 - Type I Descent (Cabin ROD = 300 ft/min)

It is a High Speed Descent, at a speed that is on average 5 kt below VMO.

The Aircraft Rate Of Descent (ROD) is 2000 ft/min or limited by the maximum differential pressure
(5.46 psi) and by the maximum Cabin Rate Of Descent shown below:

Table 2 - Type II Descent (Cabin ROD = 300 ft/min)

It is an Intermediate Speed Descent, at a speed that is approximately halfway between Type I and Type III
speed.
Time, Distance and Fuel are approximately averages of Type I and Type III Times, Distances and Fuel.
The Aircraft Rate Of Descent (ROD) is 1500 ft/min or limited by the maximum differential pressure
(5.46 psi) and by the maximum Cabin Rate Of Descent shown below:

FLIGHT PLANNING [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

5.8 SINGLE ENGINE OPERATION

5.8.1 General
This sub-chapter presents data for single engine operation - single engine climb and single engine cruise.
Single engine climb data are presented for the purpose of calculating the flight to a take-off alternate - in case
wx minima at departure airport are below landing minima.
Regulations do require that the take-off alternate is located within 1 h flight time at a one-engine-inoperative
cruising speed in still air / standard conditions.
From that it follows that - in case of an engine failure at V1 - the climb and cruise with one engine out needs to
be considered regardless of whether the take-off alternate is located at 40 min, or the maximum of 60 min.
The standard version of the Dash 8Q-400 series is not approved for ETOPS. This also means that - regardless
of the requirement for a take-off alternate - a normal flight shall not be planned over a route which contains a
point further from an adequate aerodrome than the distance flown in 60 min at the one engine-inoperative
cruise speed at FL 80 under ISA conditions.
Considering the defined cruising mass as per JAR-OPS 1.245 the resulting distance for the “ETOPS - thresh-
old” is 276 NM .

5.8.2 Single Engine Climb Data


Under this sub-chapter single engine climb data are provided
(speed = 1,23 VSR / for maximum continuous rating).
Table 1 -> ISA - 20°C
Table 2 -> ISA - 10°C
Table 3 -> ISA
Table 4 -> ISA + 10°C
Table 5 -> ISA + 20°C
Table 6 -> ISA + 30°C
Table 7 -> ISA + 35°C

Above data include 1 min and 28 Kg allowance for initial take-off.

5.10 HOLDING
(NORMAL CONDITIONS / FLAPS 0°)

5.10.1 General

Conditions:

• MINIMUM FUEL for 30 min HOLDING = 400 kg


(Recommendation)

5.10.2 Holding Tables

• Fuel Flow is for both engines

Tables 1a to 1g – show Holding data at Maximum Endurance for ISA - 20°C to ISA + 35°C conditions

Tables 2a to 2g – show Holding data in icing at Maximum Endurance with the IAS increased to 190 KIAS
(mimimum speed in icing) and with Ice Protection Systems “ON”

NOTE: Some areas of the Holding Tables show fuel flow discontinuities versus speed and / or aircraft
mass.
This is an engine characteristic and is caused by the HBOV (Handling Bleed-Off Valves)
being activated at low speeds and / or low torque requirement, in order to provide adequate
compressor surge margin.
Since Holding (Maximum Endurance Speed) is at low speed by definition, some combinations
of low speed, low altitude and low mass will trigger the HBOV, causing a sudden fuel flow
increase (or Specific Air Range decrease).

CHAPTER 6 6.1-1

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

6.1 AIRPLANE GENERAL

6.1.1 Introduction

The Dash 8-Q400 is a high wing airplane manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace with shared interests from
several partners (Figure 6.1-1). It is powered by two 5071 shaft horsepower PW 150A turboprop engines (Pratt
& Whitney). Each engine drives a 6 bladed propeller. The Dash 8 is a 2 pilot transport category airplane
approved for instrument flight and operation to a maximum altitude of 25000 ft.

The airplane seats up to 78 passengers and 2 or 3 cabin crew members in addition to the pilot, co-pilot and
flight observer. It has a maximum take-off weight of:

• 61700 lb (27987 kg) - Basic Gross Weight


• 63930 lb (28998 kg) - Intermediate Gross Weight
• 64500 lb (29257 kg) - High Gross Weight

The airplane has an Active Noise and Vibration Suppression (ANVS) system.

6.1.2 General

The fuselage (Figure 6.1-1) is constructed in 3 main parts:

• Forward
• Center
• Aft

The forward section includes the flight compartment, which has the majority of controls, instruments, and indi-
cations. Circuit breaker panels are located on the flight compartment aft bulkhead and behind the pilot's and
co-pilot's seats.

There is a forward baggage compartment on the right part of the fuselage and an aft baggage compartment
forward of the aft pressure bulkhead. Both baggage doors open outwards and can only be opened from the
outside. The passenger compartment doors and one Type II/III exit can be opened from either inside or outside

6.1.8 Aft Section

The aft section is unpressurized and is swept up from the center section. It consists of the rear pressure dome
and the supporting structure for the empennage. This area houses the air conditioning packs and if installed,
the APU. There is access to the interior of the aft fuselage section for inspection and maintenance.

Empennage
The empennage has a horizontal stabilizer with separate right and left elevators, and a vertical stabilizer with
fore and trailing rudders. The empennage is mounted on the aft fuselage section.

Horizontal Stabilizer
The fixed incidence horizontal stabilizer is attached to the top of the vertical stabilizer. The leading edges are
made from composite material and have pneumatic deicer boots bonded to them.

Elevators
Both elevators normally operate together, but can function independently if the pitch disconnect system is
operated. The elevators are hydraulically operated with artificial feel. Hydraulic actuators are used for trimming

Vertical Stabilizer
The vertical stabilizer and rearmost portion of the fuselage are constructed as one piece. The leading edge is
made from composite material and has a pneumatic deicer boot, with 2 chambers, bonded to it. A composite
bullet fairing is installed on top of the vertical stabilizer.

Rudder
The rudder has a fore and trailing section. The fore rudder is hinged to the rear vertical stabilizer spar and the
trailing rudder is hinged to the trailing edge of the fore rudder. The trailing rudder is geometrically arranged to
give a deflection twice that of the fore rudder. 2 hydraulically powered actuators operate the rudder.

6.2 (ATA 21) AIR CONDITIONING & PRESSURIZATION

6.2.1 Air Conditioning

6.2.1.1 Introduction

The Air Conditioning (AC) pack conditions the bleed air to the proper temperature and humidity and delivers it
to the air distribution system for environmental control of the cabin and flight compartment.

6.2.1.2 General

The air conditioning pack is part of the Environmental Control System (ECS).
It uses bleed air from the engines or Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to supply conditioned air to the cabin and flight
compartment.
2 Air Cycle Machines (ACM) are integrated with a dual heat exchanger (primary and secondary).
They are located in the aft fuselage (aft equipment bay) and cool the hot bleed air coming from the 2 engines
or APU.
This configuration provides the redundancy of 2 packs while allowing access to a much larger dual heat
exchanger during operation with a single ACM.

CHAPTER 6 6.2-7

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. 10] 30 APR 2014

6.2.1.4 Air Conditioning System

The Air Conditioning System (Figure 6.2-5) receives bleed air when the BLEED switches on the AIR CONDI-
TIONING control panel (Figure 6.2-3) or the BL AIR switchlight on the APU CONTROL panel are selected on.
The Air Conditioning System is controlled by selecting the CABIN and FLT COMP PACKS switches (Figure
6.2-2) to the MAN or AUTO positions and then adjusting the temperature using the TEMP CONTROL knobs.
These switch settings determine the bleed air source, manual or automatic Environmental Control System
(ECS) operation and the air flow temperatures for the flight and passenger compartments.
The ECS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) (Figure 6.2-6) controls the 2 Nacelle Shut-Off Valves (NSOV) to regu-
late the air flow to the air conditioning packs.
The ECU receives bleed air pressure and temperature data from the pack inlet absolute pressure and inlet
temperature sensors.
The ECU uses these data to control bleed air flow through the pack Flow Control Shut-Off Valve (FCSOV) by
correcting for temperature & pressure.
The ECU also uses this data to control bleed air flow rate when APU bleed air is selected on.

6.2.1.4.1 Pack Control

OFF / MAN / AUTO

The OFF selection for both packs closes the respective TURBINE SOVs.

When selecting one pack to MAN or AUTO, the ECS controller will:
• open pack inlet FCSOV (if not already open)
• open one Turbine SOV
• open Pack Bypass SOV
Only 1 pack will be operational.
The recirculation fan will run at low speed. The system will run at reduced flow (70% of flow selection).

Selecting both packs to MAN or AUTO:


The system will operate at full performance depending on flow selections and environmental conditions.
The recirculation fan will run at high speed.
Selecting MAN will cause respective bypass SOVs to revert to the associated analog control.

6.2.1.4.2 Flow Control

For engine operation, the digital channel in control modulates the Nacelle SOVs to set flows, to the packs and
therefore to the cabin and flight compartment.

Nominal flow rates set by the ECU are based upon:


• BLEED selection - MIN / NORM / MAX
• Environmental conditions (altitude)
• Mass bleed flow measured at wing duct and corrected by pack inlet pressure and temperature information
• Air source (single bleed, dual bleed or APU)

If a malfunction occurs to the pack FCSOV, it defaults pneumatically to the open position to permit continued
ECS operation.
If both digital channels of the ECU lose electrical power or fail, the pack FCSOV defaults to the closed position.
ECS operation stops and the Air Cycle Machines shut off.
If this occurs, air must be supplied to the cabin and flight compartment using emergency ram air ventilation.

6.2.1.4.3 Normal Flow Control Operation


When both engines and at least one pack are operating, the ECU modulates the nacelle shut-off valves in the
bleed air system to balance the flow of bleed air from both engines.
If one digital channel fails (analog operation) or in case of calculated flow miscomparison, the operating digital
channel regulates bleed airflow with the pack FCSOV.
The ECU also regulates bleed airflow with the pack FCSOV if the APU is supplying the bleed air.
APU bleed air flow is not controlled by the bleed flow selection knob, but by a flow schedule internal to the ECU
Both digital channels of the ECU share control of the pack FCSOV. During flight, one digital channel gets full
control of the pack FCSOV (the other channel gets full control during the next flight).
If the digital channel in control loses electrical power or fails, the other digital channel takes control of the pack
FCSOV.
The analog backup channels do not have any control for the pack FCSOV.
It will be pneumatically closed if both digital channels of ECS ECU lost their power or failed.
In a dual pack configuration, the left digital channel uses approximately half of the air from the Fight Compart-
ment pack to control the flight compartment temperature.
The right digital channel uses the other half of the air from the Fight Compartment pack and all of the air from
the Cabin pack to control the cabin compartment temperature.
Therefore the cabin receives a total of approximately 75% of the air flow from both packs combined.

Recirculating Fan
The recirculation fan, draws cabin air through the recirculation filter mounted behind the AFT class “C” bag-
gage compartment. The air is routed aft, where it is mixed with pack conditioned air.
The recirculation fan switch on the AIR CONDITIONING control panel controls the on / off operation of the
recirculation fan.
When the switch is selected to the RECIRC position, the fan starts at low speed (to reduce initial current draw),
then switches to high speed.
Operating conditions determine the automatic control of the recirculation fan speed.
The fan operates at low speed if one pack is turned off.

6.2-10 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. 7] 7 MAR 2013 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

6.2.1.4.4 Temperature Control

Electronic Control Unit (ECU)

The temperature control and indication system is controlled from the AIR CONDITIONING control panel on the
flight compartment.
The ECU is the interface between the AIR CONDITIONING control panel and the mechanical and electrical
components of the air conditioning system.
2 zone supply temperature sensors measure the temperature of the air in the cabin and in the flight compart-
ment supply ducts.
The ECU uses one of these signals to control the temperature of the air leaving the air conditioning pack.
The ECU keeps the temperature in the supply ducts between 2.8° - 71°C.
The actual temperature in the supply ducts depends on the settings of the CABIN and FLT COMP temperature
selectors on the AIR CONDITIONING control panel and whether in AUTO or MAN modes.
The minimum temperature of 2.8°C makes sure that there is no ice formation on the condenser.
The other sensors indicate temperatures to gauge in flight compartment.
2 zone temperature sensors measure the cabin and flight compartment temperatures and forward the data to
the ECU.
The ECU keeps the cabin and flight compartment temperatures between 15° - 27°C in AUTO mode.
A 3rd sensor supplies cabin temperature to the gauge on the AIR CONDITIONING panel.

6.2.1.5 Temperature Control Operation

When the PACKS switches are set to AUTO, the digital channel in control opens the pack bypass SOVs and
the turbine shut-off valves.
This starts the packs which supply cold air.
The ECU modulates the pack bypass valves to add warm air to the cool air coming out of the turbines.
The ECU controls the pack outlet temperature based on the settings of the CABIN and FLT COMP tempera-
ture selectors on the AIR CONDITIONING control panel.
In AUTO mode, the temperature control is based on feedback indication from the zone temperature sensors.
A full cool selection targets a compartment temperature of 15°C and a full warm selection targets 27°C.
When the PACKS switch is set to MAN, the control is based on the duct supply temperatures.
Full cool targets 2.8°C and full warm targets 71°C.
When the PACKS switches are set to OFF, this closes the pack FCSOV and the turbine shut-off valves.

Flight Compartment

The flight compartment temperature is controlled by the FLT COMP temperature selector on the AIR CONDI-
TIONING control panel.
A flow control lever is located under the left and right side windows on the side wall.
The levers regulate the quantity of air flowing to the flight compartment.

Cabin

The CABIN temperature selector on the AIR CONDITIONING control panel has a switch at the full counter-
clockwise - FA position.
Turning the selector knob to the FA position, signals the right digital channel to enable the flight attendant’s
control panel.
This switch also turns on the FA CONTROL ENABLED light on the flight attendant’s control panel.
This indicates the flight attendant has control of the cabin temperature selections.

The cabin compartment temperatures can also be regulated from the flight compartment by rotating the CABIN
selector knob out of the FA position.

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

6.2.1.6 Air Distribution

Conditioned air from the Pack is supplied to the Flight Compartment and Cabin (Figure 6.2-7).

Flight Compartment

Conditioned air is supplied to the flight compartment to maintain a comfortable environment for the flight com-
partment crew, side window demisting and airplane pressurization.
Air supply to the flight compartment (Figure 6.2-8) is ducted from the air conditioning pack, through the rear
pressure bulkhead, then divided so that the left side supplies flight compartment air while the right side sup-
plies cabin air, along the right side of the airplane below the cabin floor.
Before reaching the flight compartment, the distribution system also supplies conditioned air to the aft baggage
compartment inlet, forward lavatory gasper and the forward cabin attendant’s gasper.
At the flight compartment bulkhead, the flight compartment duct splits, supplying the airflow into 2 individual but
identical distribution systems, one for the left side and the other for the right side.
On the flight compartment, the distribution system has lower level and upper level outlets.
The upper level outlets are demist nozzles for the pilot’s and co-pilot’s side windows.
The lower level outlets include a foot warming Piccolo tube (near the rudder pedals), a fixed grille near knee
height and a large torso gasper.
The ECU monitors a supply duct temperature sensor, an over-temperature switch and a flight compartment
temperature sensor.
A manual flow control valve is at floor level.
A flow control lever located at shoulder height regulates the quantity of air flowing through the valve.
The airflow from the control valve is then directed to the side windows through 3 demist nozzles installed at the
window sill level. A small manually controlled gasper at window height is also provided.

Cabin

Conditioned air is supplied to the cabin (Figure 6.2-9) to maintain a comfortable environment for the passen-
gers and crew. Conditioned air is also used for airplane pressurization.
Air supply to the cabin is ducted from the air conditioning pack into the fuselage at the centre of the rear pres-
sure bulkhead.
The air is then ducted under the baggage compartment floor, where it splits into an upper and lower supply
duct for each side of the cabin.
The upper cabin distribution duct supplies the Passenger Service Unit (PSU) gaspers and the sidewall down-
wash and ceiling upwash vents. The lower cabin distribution duct supplies the dado panels.
A distribution damper is set automatically depending on the cabin supply duct temperature (Figure 6.2-9).
The right digital channel of the ECU controls the electric motor of the distribution damper.
If the right digital channel or the electric motor fails, the damper valve will remain in its last position.
3 position switches in the damper valve send discrete signals to the ECU indicating whether the valve is in the
full warm or the full cool position.
The distribution damper valve position will be automatically controlled to 1 of 3 positions (up, middle or down)
depending on the cabin supply temperature.
When the valve is at full up mechanical position, 70% of the flow will be delivered through upper distribution
ducts and 30% flow will be distributed through lower distribution vents.
The ECU uses the signal from the cabin zone supply temperature sensor to determine which mode to apply to
the distribution damper.
During heating operations, the distribution damper directs 70% of the warm air to the lower cabin dado panels
and 30% of the air to the PSU (gaspers, side downwash and ceiling upwash vents).
During cooling operations 70% of the cool air is directed to the PSU (gaspers, side downwash and ceiling
upwash vents) and 30% to the lower dado panels.
During standard temperatures, half of the air is directed to the overhead vents and half to the lower vents.
The aft baggage compartment has an inlet and outlet ventilation valve. They are normally open but close when
smoke is detected in the baggage compartment and / or when electrical power is lost.
2 white advisory lights on the Fire Protection Panel turn on when the inlet valves are closed.

6.2.1.7 Non-Normal Operation


The left digital channel has on / off control of the Fight Compartment pack and the right digital channel has on /
off control of the Cabin pack by closing the applicable turbine shut-off valve.
The digital channel in control will shut off the pack flow control and shut-off valve (and stop pack operation) if:
• Both PACKS switches on the AIR CONDITIONING control panel selected to OFF.
• The Built In Test (BIT) function of the ECU detects an unacceptable condition.
If the CABIN PACK HOT or FLT COMPT PACK HOT caution light turns on, this causes the associated pack to
shut down, i.e. the associated turbine SOV.
If FLT COMPT DUCT HOT or CABIN DUCT HOT caution light turns on, this causes the associated pack to
shut down, i.e. the associated turbine SOV.
If an overheat condition occurs, the digital channel in control will turn on a caution light:
• FLT COMPT DUCT HOT - the flight compartment supply duct temperature is too hot
• CABIN DUCT HOT - the cabin supply duct temperature is too hot
• CABIN PACK HOT - respective pack is too hot
• FLT COMPT PACK HOT - respective pack is too hot.
The caution light will remain on until the over-temperature condition or BIT fault goes away and the associated
pack switch has been turned off.

6.2.1.9 Avionics Cooling

The avionics cooling system has 3 fans.


The system removes hot air from the avionics equipment, 5 liquid crystal displays in the instrument panel and
the wardrobe rack (Figure 6.2-10).
The airplane has an extraction type cooling system for the avionics and Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD).
Control of the system is automatic and requires no pilot action for both normal and abnormal operation.
The cooling system has 3 identical fans, each of which can supply half the required cooling flow when operat-
ing at high speed.
Only 2 of the 3 fans are required to be operational for dispatch.
The electrical and ducting systems have been designed so that single failures do not result in the loss of all the
displays.
Each duct assembly has a cooling fan connected to the:
• 5 LCDs
• Avionics Rack
• Wardrobe Rack
The hot air is ducted under the floor behind the flight compartment to the forward of the canted bulkhead.
Each duct assembly alone can supply enough cooling for continuous operation of the LCDs.
Fan 1 and Fan 2 start running whenever the electrical power is applied to the airplane DC main bus.
If either of these fans fail, the standby fan (Fan 3) automatically starts operating.
When only the battery power is available, Fan 1 operates at low speed and Fan 2 turns off.
If Fan 1 is not available, Fan 2 operates at low speed. Fan 3 is not available when operating on battery power.
This operational mode is capable of supplying the minimum air flow required for the LCDs to operate at
reduced brightness.
With minimum air flow and reduced brightness, the LCDs will operate with higher internal temperatures, but
below the automatic shut-off threshold.
A fan operating at Low Speed Mode (LSM) can supply enough airflow to meet the avionics and LCD cooling
requirements while still meeting the battery loading requirements.
Failure of any fan is recorded in the Central Diagnostic System (CDS).
There is no indication of a single fan failure to the flight crew.
If 2 fans fail, a FANS FAIL message is shown in white on the Engine Display (ED) (Figure 6.2-4).
The fans must be rectified before the next flight.
Failure of 2 fans on ground will illuminate “Avionics” caution light.
There is no caution light for 2 fan failures during flight.
During flight with electrical power supplied, the fan speed control unit operates as follows:
• 3 fans available, 2 fans operating at High Speed Mode (HSM)
• 2 fans available, 2 fans operating at HSM
• 1 fan available, 1 fan operating at HSM
The ducting for each avionics cooling fan has a connection to 1 of 2 zone temperature switches located under
the LCDs.
These switches inhibit the fan operation on the ground, when the flight compartment temperature is below 5°C.
This allows the LCD internal heater to operate during cold day starts without interference from the fans.
Temperature sensors are also used to run the fans at LSM when temperature is between 5 - 30°C.
The temperature switches are disabled when the airplane is airborne.

6.2.2 Pressurization

6.2.2.1 Introduction

The airplane is pressurized by engine bleed air supplied to and distributed by the air-conditioning system.
Pressure is maintained and controlled by the cabin pressure control system which governs the rate of outflow
from the pressurized areas (Figure 6.2-11) of the airplane. An aft outflow valve primarily controls the outflow of
air and is assisted by 2 safety valves.

6.2.2.2 General

The aft outflow valve is controlled from the Cabin Pressure Control panel on the flight compartment overhead
panel. There are independent controls and indicators to operate and monitor the system. The aft outflow valve
and an aft safety valve are located on the aft pressure dome. A forward safety outflow valve is located on the
forward pressure bulkhead.

If cabin altitude is too high, a flight compartment warning light comes on.

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

6.2.2.4 Pressurization Description

Except for the pressure relief function, pressurization is controlled primarily by the electrically operated aft out-
flow valve. It is used for automatic and manual control, and can also be used to dump the pressurization. The
forward safety valve is for emergency operation and for smoke removal from the flight compartment. The aft
safety valve and the forward safety valve have positive and negative pressure relief valves.

The pressurization system can be controlled in either of four modes:

• Automatic
• Manual
• Emergency / Smoke Removal
• Pressure Dump

6.2.2.4.1 Automatic

When electrical power is first supplied to the system, a full power up self test is done. The FAULT alert light, on
the Cabin Pressure Control (CPC) panel comes on momentarily during the power up test mode. If there is a
failure in the system, the light will stay on. The system operation is fully automatic with the data programmed
into the controller (Figure 6.2-17).

With the system in AUTO mode, a pre-programmed cabin pressure controller does all pressure scheduling
from take-off to landing with minimal crew input. The computer receives inputs from the crew and various air-
plane systems, and modulates the aft outflow valve. This keeps a fixed schedule of cabin altitude versus air-
plane altitude for complete regulation of cabin pressure.

6.2.2.4.1.1 On Ground

When the airplane is on the ground and the engine power lever angles are set at less than 60°, the aft outflow
valve is positioned at the fully open position to prevent airplane pressurization. The aft safety valve located on
the aft pressure bulkhead, also opens on the ground when at least one engine is running at idle, or the APU is
operating.

6.2.2.4.1.2 Take-off

When the engine power levers angles are set to greater than 60° the controller sends a signal to the aft outflow
valve to modulate, as necessary, to provide two take-off sequences:

• Pre-pressurization
• Take-off abort

The aft outflow valve moves from the fully open position and starts to modulate to control the pressure changes
that occur during take-off. After take-off (as sensed by the PSEU), the aft outflow valve modulates to keep the
set airplane pressure.

a) Pre-Pressurization

The purpose of automatic pre-pressurization is to avoid a cabin pressure "bump" at take-off. During this
sequence the cabin is pressurized to 400 ft below the take-off altitude at a rate of 300 ft/min.

In the case of a take-off without bleed air selected, this sequence leads to both the aft outflow valve and the aft
safety valve closing.

b) Take-off Abort

The Cabin Pressure Controller (CPC) is in take-off mode for at most 10 minutes after lift off. This avoids the
requirement to reselect the landing altitude in case of an aborted flight and emergency return to the departure
airport. During 10 minutes after the take-off the pre-pressurization remains in effect as long as:

• The scheduled cabin altitude is higher than the theoretical cabin altitude, or
• The airplane altitude is less than the take-off altitude + 5000 ft (valid only for take-off altitude over 8000 ft)

Once one of the above conditions is met, the CPC begins flight scheduling.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


6.2-26 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

6.2.2.4.1.3 Flight

The flight sequence is initiated when the take-off sequence is over, and AUTO mode is selected. During this
sequence, the cabin pressurization is controlled by the CPC in accordance with the preprogrammed pressur-
ization schedule.

6.2.2.4.1.4 Descent

During descent, the cabin rate of change is achieved automatically. In the case of a high speed descent, the
rate of descent increase sequence is initiated.

6.2.2.4.1.5 Landing

Airplane depressurization is controlled automatically during landing. If the set field altitude is higher than actual
field altitude, the airplane will land unpressurized. If the field altitude is set less than actual field altitude, the air-
plane will land pressurized. In this case, on landing, the cabin altitude will go back to field altitude at the rate
programmed for one minute, before cabin pressure is bled to ambient. This is achieved when the outflow valve,
and the aft safety valve are fully open.

NOTE: At very low ambient barometric conditions the cabin altitude may not be within 1000 feet of
airfield altitude before landing.

6.2.2.4.2 Manual

The manual mode is used if the automatic pressurization mode does not operate. Pressurization can be man-
ually controlled through the aft outflow valve, when the AUTO-MAN-DUMP switch is set to MAN. When the tog-
gle switch is moved and held to the DECR position, the aft outflow valve opens and decreases the cabin
pressure, increasing the cabin altitude. When the toggle switch is moved and held to INCR, the aft outflow
valve closes and the cabin pressure increases to decrease the cabin altitude.

NOTE: When operating in manual mode, the cabin altitude, cabin differential pressure, and cabin rate
of change indicators should be monitored carefully.

6.2.2.5 Emergency / Smoke Removal

Pressurization can be controlled through the forward safety valve when the aft outflow valve becomes unser-
viceable. Cabin pressure can be regulated by turning the FWD OUTFLOW knob, as necessary, to adjust the
amount of pressure bleed to get the required pressurization selection. When the control knob is turned clock-
wise the forward safety valve opens and the cabin pressure decreases. Pressurization can also be reduced
rapidly by turning the forward safety valve selector on the copilot's side console. This opens the forward safety
valve fully.

NOTE: When operating in emergency mode, the cabin altitude, cabin differential pressure, and cabin
rate of change indicators should be monitored carefully.

Electrical power is not required to operate either the FWD OUTFLOW knob or the forward safety valve selector

The forward safety valve may be used with the automatic system operating during flight to evacuate smoke
from the flight compartment, without depressurizing the airplane. Turning the FWD OUTFLOW knob clockwise
meters suction caused by the slipstream to open the forward safety valve. With the AUTO / MAN / DUMP
switch set to AUTO, the automatic system, trying to maintain cabin pressure, will begin to close the aft outflow
valve. This exhausts air and smoke through the forward outflow valve.

6.2.2.6 Pressure Dump

The fast depressurization function may be done in the automatic and the manual modes. The AUTO / MAN /
DUMP switch set to DUMP fully opens the aft outflow valve. In the manual mode, the aft outflow valve opens
when the toggle switch is moved and held in the DECR position. In DUMP mode the aft outflow valves stay
fully open, preventing the airplane from pressurizing. DUMP mode may also be used for maximum smoke
evacuation.

6.2.2.7 Emergency Ram Air Ventilation

During unpressurized flight, the cabin and flight compartment can be ventilated with outside ram air (see above
Figure 6.2-18).
Without bleed air, the ram air enters through the dorsal fin NACA vent, through a check valve and into the air
conditioning ducting downstream of the packs.
The ram air ventilates the cabin and the flight compartment and then exhausts through the forward safety out-
flow valve, as the aft outflow valve is closed when the AUTO-MAN-DUMP switch is set to the MAN position.

6.2.2.8 Cabin Pressure Controller

The maximum differential pressure permitted by the cabin pressure controller is 5.46 psi, which gives a cabin
altitude of 8000 ft at 25000 ft ambient altitude.
If differential pressure is more than 6.25  0.15 psi (forward safety valve) and 5.8  0.15 psi (aft safety valve), a
pressure limiter opens to release the pressure.
Both safety valves also have a negative pressure relief valve which will operate at 0.5 psi differential to prevent
external atmospheric pressure from being more than internal cabin pressure.
When on the ground with the power levers at flight idle or low power settings, the cabin pressure controller
holds the aft outflow valve and the aft safety valve fully open.
A CABIN PRESS warning light will come on if cabin altitude is more than 9800 ft.

6.3 (ATA 22) AUTOFLIGHT

6.3.1 Introduction

The Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) provides fail-safe operation of flight director guidance, autopilot,
yaw damper and automatic pitch trim functions.

6.3.2 General

The Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) provides several major functions. The Flight Director (FD) func-
tion provides lateral and vertical guidance to fly the aircraft, either manually or automatically. The Autopilot (AP)
function couples the Flight Director guidance to the aircraft control surfaces for automatic control of the aircraft.
The Automatic Pitch Trim function reduces the mistrim force on the Pilot's and Co-Pilot's control columns when
the AP is engaged. The Flap Auto Pitch Trim function reduces the mistrim force on the Pilot's and Co-Pilot's
control columns when the AP is not engaged and the flaps are in transit. The Yaw Damper (YD) function pro-
vides yaw stabilization and turn coordination.
The AFCS provides dual Flight Director capability, a single Autopilot and a single Yaw Damper. The AFCS is
designed to provide all weather approach capability to Category I and II limits for ILS and Category I limits for
MLS, if optional MLS receivers are installed on the aircraft. The AFCS is also capable of non-precision VOR
approaches, front and back course Localizer approaches, MLS Azimuth approaches and FMS approaches.

AFCS Heading Set Knobs Coupled LH and RH


(Option - CR 822 SO 90387)
The left and right heading selection knobs synchronize all heading bugs on the pilot and co-pilot PFD and
MFDs.

FLIGHT GUIDANCE CONTROL PANEL CALLOUTS

1) FLIGHT GUIDANCE MODE SELECTORS (momentary action)

PUSH - selects flight director modes of operation


- flight director command bars display lateral and vertical guidance commands depending on selected
mode
- pilot can manually fly the displayed commands or engage the AP to automatically fly the commands
- the selected flight director mode appears in the Flight Mode Annunciator (FMA) area of each PFD

2) HSI SEL (momentary action)

Pointer segments (white)


PUSH - the HSI SEL pushbutton selects which PFD (1 or 2) the FD is coupled to. The PFD set of parame-
ters used include: NAV source, course targets, HDG targets and ADU / AHRS
- pressing the HSI SEL pushbutton switches from the left NAV SOURCE, HDG, COURSE and ADU /
AHRS selections displayed on the pilot's PFD, to the right NAV SOURCE HDG, COURSE and ADU /
AHRS selections displayed on co-pilot's PFD, and vice-versa
- the selected side is indicated by lighting the corresponding arrow next to the HSI SEL pushbutton on
the FGCP. The selected side is also indicated on the non-selected PFD by an HSI plus an arrow
- if the Dual FD mode is active, both the left and right arrows on either side of the HSI SEL pushbutton
are lit, and pressing the HSI SEL push button has no effect
- pressing the HSI SEL pushbutton has the following effects on the AFCS:
• No effect on AP / YD engagement
• Clears all active and armed lateral and vertical FD modes and removes the FD bars if the AP is not
engaged
• Clears all active and armed lateral and vertical FD modes if the AP is selected (reverts to basic
mode) (FD bars remain)
Upon power-up, the HSI SELection defaults to the left side

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

6.3.4 Description

The Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) consists of the following:


• 1 Flight Guidance Control Panel (FGCP)
• 2 Flight Guidance Modules (FGM)
• 1 Yaw Damper Actuator Unit (YDAU)
• 2 Autopilot Actuator Units (APAU)
In addition, the following other flight compartment switches and annunciators are dedicated for the AFCS:
• 2 Autopilot Control Wheel Quick Disconnect Switches
• 2 Tactile Control Steering (TCS) Switches
• 2 Go Around (GA) Switches
• 2 Autopilot Disengage Warning Lights
The core of the AFCS are the 2 independent, but identical Flight Guidance computation channels, each con-
sisting of a Flight Guidance Module.
The Flight Guidance Control Panel provides for selection of the FD modes and targets, the navigation source
for the FD and engagement of the AP and YD.
The Flight Guidance Modules perform all the necessary data processing for the FD commands, the commands
to the AP and YD actuators, and the commands to the pitch trim system. Each FGM can independently pro-
cess FD commands. Both FGMs are required to perform the AP and YD functions. FGM 1 provides the actual
commands to the AP and YD actuators, while FGM 2 monitors the commands and the performance of the AP
and YD actuators.

6.3.5 System Operation

The operation of the Automatic Flight Control System includes the FD, AP, Automatic Pitch Trim, Roll Mistrim
Annunciation, YD, Flight Guidance Control and Flight Mode Annunciation functions.
Engagement of the YD is inhibited when the aircraft roll attitude exceeds ± 45°. Engagement of the AP is inhib-
ited when the aircraft roll attitude exceeds ± 45°, or the aircraft pitch attitude exceeds ± 20°. Engaging the AP
also engages the YD, but the YD may be engaged without the AP.

6.3.6 Flight Director

The Flight Director (FD) provides aircraft lateral and vertical guidance which is:
• Displayed on the PFDs for the pilot to manually control the aircraft.
• Coupled to the Autopilot for automatic control of the aircraft.

6.3.6.1 FD General Operation

Normally, FGM 1 is master and FGM 2 is slave. If FGM 1 fails, FGM 2 automatically becomes master. When-
ever at least one FGM is able to perform the FD function, the pilots are able to select lateral and vertical guid-
ance modes.
Only the FD commands from FGM 1 are coupled to the Autopilot. However, if either FGM fails, the Autopilot
disengages and is inhibited from being engaged again.
The PFDs display the message L (or R) FD FAIL to indicate an FGM failure that has disabled the FD. If both
FDs are disabled due to failure of both FGMs, the PFDs display the message AFCS FAIL.
Since either FGM can independently provide the FD function, both FGMs process:
• FD mode selections
• FD command computations for display
• Sensor selection and monitoring

6.3.6.2 FD Mode Selections

FD mode selections are performed using inputs from the Flight Guidance Control Panel and the Go Around
mode switches. Both FGMs receive inputs from the FGCP and the GA switches.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.3-25

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

The FD modes include both active and armed modes. An active FD mode provides guidance for display on the
PFD, and for coupling to the Autopilot. An armed FD mode is waiting for necessary conditions to be satisfied,
at which point it will automatically transition to an active mode, replacing the previous active mode for that axis.

6.3.6.3 FD Display

Both FGMs send to the displays the following:


• Pitch and roll commands for display as the Flight Director bars on the PFD
• Pitch and roll active and armed modes for display in the Flight Mode Annunciator (FMA) area on the PFD
• AFCS messages for display in the FMA area on the PFD
When not in Dual FD mode (for ILS approaches), both PFDs display the Flight Director command bars and
mode annunciations from the master FGM. Therefore, if both FGMs are healthy, FD data from FGM 1 is dis-
played on both PFDs. FD data from FGM 2 is displayed on both PFDs only if FGM 1 is failed.
In Dual FD mode, PFD 1 displays Flight Director command bars and mode annunciations from FGM 1, and
PFD 2 displays Flight Director command bars and mode annunciations from FGM 2.
The FD commands are displayed in either a single cue format or a cross bar pointer format on the PFD. Selec-
tion between the two FD display options is determined by the Aircraft Configuration Module.

6.3.6.4 FD Source Selection

The FGMs use the data displayed on either PFD for processing FD guidance commands. FGM 1and FGM 2
process FD commands using the same sensors, except in Dual FD mode. In Dual FD mode, FGM 1 uses the
#1 side sensors and FGM 2 uses the #2 side sensors.
When not in Dual FD mode, both FGMs select the same side data as the PFD selection of sensors for the FD.
The PFD selection is selected by the HSI SEL pushbutton and NAV SOURCE selection switches located on
the FGCP and EFIS ATT / HDG SOURCE and EFIS ADC SOURCE reversion switches located on the ESCP.
The PFD selection applies to the selection of the following:
• ADC sensors
• AHRS sensors
• NAV sources
• CRS targets
• HDG targets
A detected failure of a sensor input required in the processing of an armed or active FD mode automatically
clears the FD mode, with an appropriate message displayed on the PFD. If the flight crew attempt to select a
mode that requires sensor data that is not valid, a mode transition will not occur, and a message will be dis-
played on the PFD.
Except in Dual FD mode, a mismatch between sensors detected by the FGM does not clear the FD mode,
since both FGMs still use the selected side information. In Dual FD mode, a mismatch between ILS sensors
detected by the FGM automatically clears Dual FD mode. Both FG Modules process FD commands with only
one AHRS valid or only one ADC valid, but Dual FD mode requires 2 valid AHRS and 2 valid ADCs.

6.3.6.5 FD Modes

1. Lateral Basic Mode


The Lateral Basic mode consists of three submodes:
• Roll Hold submode (ROLL HOLD)
• Wings Level submode (WING LVL)
• Heading Hold submode (HDGHOLD)
In the Roll Hold submode, the FD commands to hold the target roll attitude, which is equivalent to the bank
angle that existed at mode engagement, or when the TCS switch was released with the bank angle greater
than 6°. The roll attitude target domain is limited to ± 45°.
In the Wings Level submode, the FD commands to hold a zero degree bank angle.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


6.3-26 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

In the Heading Hold submode, the FD commands to hold the target heading, which is equivalent to the heading
that existed at engagement of the Heading Hold submode. The FD commands are limited to ± 13° of roll atti-
tude in the Heading Hold submode.
The Lateral Basic mode is activated if the AP or a vertical FD mode is engaged when no lateral mode is active.
The Lateral Basic mode is also activated in the Wings Level submode when Go Around is selected.
Except for when Go Around is selected, at Lateral Basic mode activation a lateral basic submode is selected
as follows:
• The Roll Hold submode is selected if the roll angle is greater than 6°.
• The Wings Level submode is selected if the roll angle is less than 6°.
If the flight crew operate the TCS switch when the Lateral Basic mode is active, the above logic also applies
when the TCS switch is released.
The Lateral Basic mode submode automatically transitions from the Roll Hold submode to the Wings Level
submode when the bank angle is less than 6°. Except when Go Around is active, the Lateral Basic mode sub-
mode automatically transitions from the Wings Level submode to the HDG Hold submode when the bank angle
is less than 3° for 10 s.
When Go Around mode is active, the Lateral Basic mode submode does not automatically transition to the
Heading Hold submode, but instead remains Wings Level until another lateral mode is selected, or until TCS is
operated and released with the roll angle greater than 6°.
The Lateral Basic mode is deactivated by:
• Activating any other lateral mode (manual selection or automatic capture of a lateral mode).
• Disengaging the AP when the Pitch Hold mode is active.
• A STBY or HSI SEL selection if the AP is not engaged.
• If the selected ADC or AHRS source is changed and the AP is not engaged.
The Lateral Basic mode is deactivated and inhibited from activation by:
• A failure of CAS or TAS data from the selected ADC. (This disengages the FD).
• A failure of attitude data from the selected AHRS. (This disengages the FD).
The Heading Hold submode is deactivated and inhibited from activation by a failure of heading data from the
selected AHRS.

2. Heading Select Mode


The Heading Select mode acquires and holds a heading target which is selected on the FGCP. There are 2
Heading (HDG) knobs on the FGCP which the flight crew use to set the Selected Heading target. The FD uses
either the left or right heading target, as determined by the HSI SEL pushbutton selection.
In the Heading Select mode, the FD commands are limited to ± 24° of roll attitude, and rate limited to ± 4°/s of
roll rate.
The Heading Select mode is activated:
• When HDG is selected on the FGCP.
• When NAV or APPR or BC is selected on the FGCP to arm a VOR, Localizer, Back Course Localizer, or
Azimuth mode.
The Heading Select mode is deactivated by:
• Deselecting HDG on the FGCP.
• Activating any other lateral mode (manual selection or automatic capture of a lateral mode).
• A STBY or HSI SEL selection.
• If the selected ADC or AHRS source is changed.
The Heading Select mode is deactivated and inhibited from activation by:
• A failure of heading data from the selected AHRS.
• A failure of the Selected Heading target from the FGCP.
• A failure of CAS or TAS data from the selected ADC. (This disengages the FD).
• A failure of attitude data from the selected AHRS. (This disengages the FD).

3. VOR Mode
The VOR mode acquires and holds a VOR radial. The VOR mode consists of the following submodes:
• VOR Arm
• VOR Capture
• VOR Track
• VOR Overstation
Transitioning between these submodes is performed automatically by the FD.
The flight crew use the VOR mode operationally as follows:
• Select a VOR / LOC Receiver as the navigation source.
• Tune a VOR frequency.
• Select a course on the FGCP corresponding to the desired VOR radial.
• Select the intercept heading target on the FGCP.
• Press the NAV pushbutton on the FGCP to arm the mode.
This automatically arms the VOR mode and engages the Heading Select mode. The FD then automatically
transitions to VOR Capture mode from VOR Arm when the aircraft intercepts the desired VOR radial. The FD
automatically transitions to VOR Track mode from VOR Capture when the aircraft has turned on to the desired
VOR radial.
When the aircraft approaches a VOR station it will enter into a "zone of confusion" where the VOR deviation
signal is very noisy. When this occurs, the FD automatically transitions to the VOR Overstation mode. In the
VOR Overstation mode, the FD does not use the VOR deviation signal, but instead commands the aircraft to a
heading equivalent to the Selected Course. When the aircraft departs the zone of confusion, the VOR deviation
signal will again become clear of noise, and the FD automatically transitions to the VOR Capture mode to cap-
ture the desired VOR radial.
When the VOR Overstation mode is active, the flight crew can change the Selected Course without exiting
VOR Overstation mode. Course changes in VOR Overstation mode should be limited to a maximum of 30° to
ensure adequate performance.
The maximum intercept for a VOR capture should be ± 90°, but the performance may be degraded for course
cuts greater than ± 45° at capture. In VOR Capture and VOR Track, the FD commands are limited to ± 24° roll
attitude, and rate limited to ± 4°/s of roll rate. In the VOR Overstation mode, the FD commands are limited to ±
30° of roll attitude. The performance following a Selected Course change of greater than ± 30° in the VOR
Overstation mode may be degraded.
The VOR mode is armed by Selecting NAV on the FGCP.
The VOR mode is disarmed by:
• Deselecting NAV on the FGCP.
• Selecting APPR on the FGCP (arms VOR Approach mode).
• Transition to VOR Capture mode.
• Changing the Selected Nav Source (on the selected side).
• Selection of Go Around mode.
• Selecting STBY or HSI SEL.
• Changing the selected ADC or AHRS source.
• Changing the VOR / LOC Receiver frequency to a LOC frequency.
The VOR mode is deactivated by:
• Deselecting NAV on the FGCP.
• Selecting APPR on the FGCP (activates VOR Approach mode).
• Activating any other lateral mode.
• Selecting Go Around.
• Changing the Selected Nav Source (on the selected side).
• Changing the VOR / LOC Receiver frequency to a LOC frequency.

• Selecting STBY or HSI SEL.


• Changing the selected ADC or AHRS source.
The VOR mode is disarmed, deactivated and inhibited from arming by:
• A failure of VOR data from the selected VOR / LOC Receiver for 30 s.
• A failure of the Selected Course from the FGCP.
• A failure of heading data from the selected AHRS.
• A failure of CAS or TAS data from the selected ADC (this disengages the FD).
• A failure of attitude data from the selected AHRS (this disengages the FD).

4. VOR Approach Mode


The VOR Approach mode is similar to the VOR mode, but is intended to be used in the approach flight phase.
The VOR Approach mode acquires and holds a VOR radial. The VOR Approach mode consists of the following
• VOR Approach Arm
• VOR Approach Capture
• VOR Approach Track
• VOR Approach Overstation
Transitioning between these submodes is performed automatically by the FD.
The flight crew use the VOR Approach mode operationally as follows:
• Select a VOR / LOC Receiver as the navigation source.
• Tune a VOR frequency.
• Select a course on the FGCP corresponding to the desired VOR radial.
• Select the intercept heading target on the FGCP.
• Press the APPR pushbutton on the FGCP to arm the mode.
This automatically arms the VOR Approach mode and engages the Heading Select mode. The FD then auto-
matically transitions to VOR Approach Capture mode from VOR Approach Arm when the aircraft intercepts the
desired VOR radial. The FD automatically transitions to VOR Approach Track mode from VOR Approach Cap-
ture when the aircraft has turned on to the desired VOR radial.
When the aircraft approaches a VOR station it will enter into a "zone of confusion" where the VOR deviation
signal is very noisy. When this occurs, the FD automatically transitions to the VOR Approach Overstation
mode. In the VOR Approach Overstation mode, the FD does not use the VOR deviation signal, but instead
commands the aircraft to a heading equivalent to the Selected Course. When the aircraft departs the zone of
confusion, the VOR deviation signal will again become clear of noise and the FD automatically transitions to
the VOR Approach Capture mode to capture the desired VOR radial.
When the VOR Approach Overstation mode is active, the flight crew can change the Selected Course without
exiting VOR Approach Overstation mode. Course changes in VOR Approach Overstation mode should be lim-
ited to a maximum of 30° to ensure adequate performance.
The maximum intercept for a VOR capture should be ± 90°, but the performance may be degraded for course
cuts greater than ± 45° at capture. In VOR Approach Capture, the FD commands are limited to ± 30° roll atti-
tude, and rate limited to ± 7°/s of roll rate. In VOR Approach Track, the FD commands are further limited to 27°
roll attitude and rate limited to ± 5.5°/s of roll rate. In the VOR Approach Overstation mode, the FD commands
are limited to ± 30° of roll attitude. The performance following a Selected Course change of greater than ± 30°
in the VOR Approach Overstation mode may be degraded.
The VOR Approach mode is armed by selecting APPR on the FGCP.
The VOR Approach mode is disarmed by:
• Deselecting APPR on the FGCP.
• Selecting NAV on the FGCP (arms VOR mode).
• Transition to VOR Approach Capture mode.
• Changing the Selected Nav Source (on the selected side).
• Selection of Go Around mode.

• A failure of the Selected Course from the FGCP.
• A failure of heading data from the selected AHRS.
• A failure of CAS or TAS data from the selected ADC (this disengages the FD).
• A failure of attitude data from the selected AHRS (this disengages the FD).

5. Localizer Mode
The Localizer mode acquires and tracks an ILS localizer beam. The Localizer mode consists of the following:
• Localizer Arm
• Localizer Capture
• Localizer Track
Transitioning between these submodes is performed automatically by the FD.
The flight crew uses the Localizer mode operationally as follows:
• Select a VOR / LOC Receiver as the navigation source.
• Tune a Localizer frequency.
• Select a course on the FGCP corresponding to the desired runway.
• Select the intercept heading target on the FGCP.
• Press the NAV pushbutton on the FGCP to arm the mode.
This automatically arms the Localizer mode and engages the Heading Select mode. The Localizer mode also
arms if the flight crew select APPR on the FGCP. The FD automatically transitions to Localizer Capture mode
from Localizer Arm when the aircraft intercepts the desired ILS localizer beam. The FD automatically transi-
tions to Localizer Track mode from Localizer Capture when the aircraft has turned on to the localizer beam.
The maximum intercept selected by the flight crew for a localizer capture should be ± 90°. The FD commands
are limited to ± 30° roll attitude in Localizer Capture and ± 24° roll attitude in Localizer Track. The FD com-
mands are rate limited to ± 7°/s of roll rate in Localizer Capture and ± 5.5°/s of roll rate in Localizer Track.
The Localizer mode is armed by:
• Selecting NAV on the FGCP.
• Selecting APPR on the FGCP.
The Localizer mode is disarmed by:

• A failure of the Selected Course from the FGCP, except for Localizer Track mode.
• A failure of heading data from the selected AHRS, except for Localizer Track mode.
• A failure of CAS or TAS data from the selected ADC. (This disengages the FD).
• A failure of attitude data from the selected AHRS. (This disengages the FD).

6. Back Course Localizer Mode


The Back Course Localizer mode acquires and tracks an ILS back course localizer beam. The Back Course
Localizer mode consists of the following submodes:
• Back Course Localizer Arm
• Back Course Localizer Capture
• Back Course Localizer Track
Transitioning between these submodes is performed automatically by the FD.
The flight crew use the Back Course Localizer mode operationally as follows:
• Select a VOR / LOC Receiver as the navigation source.
• Tune a Localizer frequency.
• Select a front course on the FGCP corresponding to the desired runway.
• Select the intercept heading target on the FGCP.
• Press the BC pushbutton on the FGCP to arm the mode.
This automatically arms the Back Course Localizer mode and engages the Heading Select mode. The FD
automatically transitions to Back Course Localizer Capture mode from Back Course Localizer Arm when the
aircraft intercepts the desired ILS localizer beam. The FD automatically transitions to Back Course Localizer
Track mode from Back Course Localizer Capture when the aircraft has turned on to the localizer beam.
The maximum intercept angle selected by the crew for a localizer capture should be ± 90°. The FD commands
are limited to ± 30° roll attitude in Back Course Localizer Capture and ± 24° roll attitude in Back Course Local-
izer Track. The FD commands are rate limited to ± 7°/s of roll rate in Back Course Localizer Capture and ±

• A failure of attitude data from the selected AHRS (this disengages the FD).

7. FMS LNAV Mode (Optional)


The LNAV mode is available only if an optional FMS is installed on the aircraft. The LNAV mode acquires and
holds a lateral flight path computed by the FMS.
The flight crew use the LNAV mode operationally as follows:
• Select FMS as the navigation source.
• Activate a lateral flight plan.
• Press the NAV pushbutton on the FGCP to activate the LNAV mode.
The FMS continuously transmits a roll steering command to the AFCS. If the FMS roll steering command is
valid, then the LNAV mode can be engaged, otherwise engagement is inhibited. There is no arm logic or cap-
ture phase for the LNAV mode. The FMS commands the aircraft to intercept the desired flight path when LNAV
is initially engaged.
In the LNAV mode, the FD commands track the roll steering command from the FMS, which is equivalent to a
roll attitude command. The FD commands are limited to ± 30° of roll attitude and rate limited to ± 4°/s roll rate.
The LNAV mode is deactivated by:
• Deselecting NAV on the FGCP.
• Activating any other lateral mode.
• Changing the Selected Nav Source (on the selected side).

8. Vertical Basic (Pitch Hold) Mode


In the Pitch Hold mode, the FD commands to hold a pitch attitude target. The pitch attitude target is initially set
to the aircraft pitch attitude that exists when the Pitch Hold mode is activated. The pitch attitude target can then
be modified by manual rotation of the Pitch thumbwheel located on the FGCP. The pitch attitude target can
also be modified using the Tactile Control Steering function. The pitch attitude target is set to the aircraft pitch
attitude that exists when the TCS switch is released.
In the Pitch Hold mode, the FD target pitch attitude is limited to ± 20°. The FD commands are further limited to
a maximum aircraft normal acceleration of ± 0.2 g (gravity acceleration).
The Pitch Hold mode is activated:
• If the AP is engaged when no vertical mode is active.
• When an active vertical mode is de-selected by the crew.
• When the Pitch thumbwheel is operated and the active vertical mode is not Vertical Speed or Indicated
Airspeed or Go Around.
• When another active vertical mode fails.
• When a lateral mode is activated and no vertical mode is active.
• At STBY or HSI SEL selection if the AP is engaged.
• If the selected ADC or AHRS source is changed and the AP is engaged.
The Pitch Hold mode is deactivated by:
• Activating any other vertical mode (manual selection or automatic capture of a vertical mode)
• Disengaging the AP when the lateral mode is the Lateral Basic mode (this disengages the FD).
• At STBY or HSI SEL selection if the AP is not engaged.
• If the selected ADC or AHRS source is changed and the AP is not engaged.
The Pitch Hold mode is deactivated and inhibited from activation by:
• A failure of CAS or TAS data from the selected ADC (this disengages the FD).
• A failure of attitude data from the selected AHRS (this disengages the FD).

9. Altitude Select Mode


In the Altitude Select mode, the FD commands to acquire and hold a Selected Altitude target. The Altitude
Select mode consists of the following submodes:
• Altitude Select Arm
• Altitude Capture
The flight crew uses the Altitude Select mode operationally as follows:
• Preselect an altitude target using the FGCP ALT knob.
• Press the ALT SEL pushbutton on the FGCP to arm the mode
• Manoeuvre the aircraft towards the preselected altitude target. This may be performed using a different
FD vertical mode.
This automatically arms the Altitude Select mode. When the aircraft baro corrected altitude approaches the
Selected Altitude target, the FD automatically transitions to the Altitude Capture mode and begins to return the
aircraft to level flight. When the Selected Altitude target has been captured, the FD automatically transitions to
the Altitude Hold mode and maintains the Selected Altitude.
The Flight Data Processing System (FDPS) activates a visual and aural altitude alert whenever the aircraft
closes to within ± 1000 ft of the selected altitude. When the aircraft is at “1000’ to go” to the selected altitude, the
altitude analog bug changes color from normal cyan to yellow. The aural alert sounds for one second while the
visual alert remains present until the aircraft is within ± 230 ft of the selected altitude whereupon it will go out.
Should the aircraft subsequently deviate greater than ± 250 ft from the selected altitude, the visual alert will
turn on and the audio alert sound for one second. The visual alert will remain on until the aircraft returns to
within ± 230 ft of the selected altitude or the warning is cancelled by selecting a new altitude on the FGCP ALT
knob (after the new value remains stable for one second).
The domain of the Selected Altitude is 0 to 27000 ft. In the Altitude Capture mode, the FD commands are lim-
ited to ± 20° of pitch attitude and the altitude capture manoeuvre is limited to ± 0.1 g (gravity acceleration).

CHAPTER 6 6.3-33

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

The Altitude Select mode is armed by:


• Selecting ALT SEL on the FGCP.
• Changing the Selected Altitude when the vertical mode is Altitude Capture.
The Altitude Select mode is disarmed by:
• Deselecting ALT SEL on the FGCP.
• Transitioning to Altitude Capture mode.
• Transitioning to Altitude Hold mode.
• Transitioning to Glideslope Capture or Elevation Capture mode.
• Selection of Go Around mode.
• Selecting STBY or HSI SEL.
• Changing the selected ADC or AHRS source.
The Altitude Capture mode is deactivated by:
• Deselecting ALT SEL on the FGCP.
• Transitioning to Altitude Hold mode.
• Activating any other vertical mode.
• Changing the Selected Altitude (re-arms Altitude Select).
• Operating the Pitch Thumbwheel.
• Selecting STBY or HSI SEL.

• A failure of CAS or TAS data from the selected ADC (this disengages the FD).
• A failure of the Vertical Speed data from the selected AHRS.
• A failure of the attitude data from the selected AHRS (this disengages the FD).
• A failure of the Selected Altitude from the FGCP.

10. Altitude Hold Mode


In the Altitude Hold mode, the FD commands to hold an altitude target.
The flight crew use the Altitude Hold mode operationally in the following ways:
• Set up an automatic altitude capture using the Altitude Select mode.
• Press the ALT pushbutton on the FGCP to activate the mode directly.
If the Altitude Hold mode is activated using the Altitude Select mode, then the altitude target is set to the air-
craft baro corrected altitude equivalent to the Selected Altitude. If the flight crew changes the baro correction
during Altitude Capture mode, the altitude captured and held will be the baro corrected altitude equivalent to
the Selected Altitude, adjusted for the baro correction change. If the Altitude Hold mode is activated using the
ALT push button on the FGCP, the altitude target is set to the aircraft baro corrected altitude that exists at the
time of the activation, rounded to the nearest 100 ft.
If the flight crew changes the baro correction during Altitude Hold mode, the FD commands to maintain the
baro corrected altitude, adjusted for the baro correction change. The altitude held can be modified by activating
the Tactile Control Steering function. The Altitude hold target is set to the aircraft baro corrected altitude that
exists at the time the TCS switch is released, rounded to the nearest 100 ft.
The domain of the Altitude Hold mode ranges from 0 to 27000 ft. Outside of this domain, Altitude Hold mode is
inhibited. The FD commands are limited to ± 20° of pitch attitude and the altitude capture manoeuvre is limited
to ± 0.1 g (gravity acceleration).
The Altitude Hold mode is deactivated by:
• Deselecting ALT on the FGCP.
• Transitioning to VNAV, Glideslope Capture or Elevation Capture mode.

• A failure of the Vertical Speed data from the selected AHRS.
• A failure of attitude data from the selected AHRS (this disengages the FD).

11. Indicated Airspeed Mode


In the Indicated Air Speed mode, the FD commands to hold an IAS target. The IAS target is initially set to the
aircraft indicated airspeed that exists when the IAS mode is activated. The IAS target can then be modified by
manual rotation of the Pitch thumbwheel located on the FGCP. The IAS target can also be modified using the
Tactile Control Steering function. The IAS target is set to the aircraft indicated airspeed that exists when the
TCS switch is released, rounded to the nearest knot.
The IAS target is limited to integer values ranging from 95 to 290 knots. Outside of this domain, the Indicated
Airspeed mode is inhibited. The speed target is always less than Vmo. Thus when Vmo is decreasing, the
maximum speed target is decreased automatically by the FD to avoid an overspeed condition. The FD com-
mands are limited to ± 20° of pitch attitude and ± 0.1 g (gravity acceleration).
The IAS mode is activated by:
• Selecting IAS on the FGCP.
The IAS mode is deactivated by:
• Deselecting IAS on the FGCP.
• Activating any other vertical mode (manual selection or automatic capture of a vertical mode).
• Selecting STBY or HSI SEL.
• Changing the selected ADC or AHRS source.
The IAS mode is deactivated and inhibited from activation by:
• A failure of CAS or TAS data from the selected ADC (this disengages the FD).
• A failure of Vmo data from the selected ADC.
• A failure of attitude data from the selected AHRS (this disengages the FD).
• An FGCP failure.

12. Vertical Speed Mode


In the Vertical Speed mode, the FD commands to hold a vertical speed target. The vertical speed target is ini-
tially set to the aircraft vertical speed that exists when the Vertical Speed mode is activated, rounded to the
nearest 100 ft/min. The vertical speed target can then be modified by manual rotation of the Pitch thumbwheel
located on the FGCP. The vertical speed target can also be modified using the Tactile Control Steering func-
tion. The vertical speed target is set to the aircraft vertical speed that exists when the TCS switch is released.
The domain of the Vertical Speed mode ranges from - 6000 ft/min to + 6000 ft/min. Outside of this domain, the
Vertical Speed mode is inhibited. The FD commands are limited to ± 20° of pitch attitude and ± 0.1 g.
The Vertical Speed mode is activated by:
• Selecting VS on the FGCP.
The Vertical Speed mode is deactivated by:
• Deselecting VS on the FGCP.
• Activating any other vertical mode (manual selection or automatic capture of a vertical mode).
• Selecting STBY or HSI SEL.
• Changing the selected ADC or AHRS source.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.3-35

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

The Vertical Speed mode is deactivated and inhibited from activation by:
• A failure of inertial vertical speed data from the selected AHRS.
• A failure of CAS or TAS data from the selected ADC (this disengages the FD).
• A failure of attitude data from the selected AHRS (this disengages the FD).
• An FGCP failure.

13. FMS VNAV Mode (Optional)


The VNAV mode is available only if an optional FMS is installed on the aircraft. The VNAV mode is only active
when the LNAV mode is also active. The VNAV mode acquires and holds a vertical flight path computed by the
FMS. The VNAV mode has two submodes:
• VNAV Armed
• VNAV active
The flight crew use the VNAV mode operationally as follows:
• Select FMS as the navigation source.
• Activate a lateral and vertical flight plan.
• Press the NAV pushbutton on the FGCP to activate the LNAV mode.
• Press the VNAV pushbutton on the FGCP to arm the VNAV mode.
This engages the LNAV mode and arms the VNAV mode. The active vertical mode at the time VNAV is
pressed remains active. The FMS continuously transmits a pitch steering command to the AFCS. The pitch
steering command contains a bit which indicates if the VNAV mode may be armed. The FD does not arm
VNAV mode unless this bit is set. The FD automatically activates VNAV mode from VNAV Arm when the pitch
steering command label is valid, indicating that the VNAV mode may be activated.
In the VNAV mode, the FD commands to track a pitch steering command from the FMS, which is equivalent to
a pitch attitude command. The FD commands are limited to ± 20° of pitch attitude and a maximum aircraft nor-
mal acceleration of ± 0.2 g (gravity acceleration).
The VNAV mode is disarmed by:
• Deselecting NAV or VNAV on the FGCP.
• Activating a lateral mode other than LNAV.
• Selecting Go Around.
• VNAV activating.
• Changing the Selected Nav Source (on the selected side).
• FMS indicating the VNAV mode may not be armed.
• Selecting STBY or HSI SEL.
• Changing the selected ADC or AHRS source.
The VNAV mode is deactivated by:
• Deselecting NAV or VNAV on the FGCP.
• Operating the Pitch Thumbwheel.
• Activating any other vertical mode, either manually or automatically.
• Selecting Heading mode.
• Changing the Selected Nav Source (on the selected side).
• FMS invalidating the VNAV pitch steering command label.
• Selecting STBY or HSI SEL.
• Changing the selected ADC or AHRS source.
The VNAV mode is dearmed, deactivated and inhibited from arming by:
• A failure of the selected FMS.
• A failure of the FGCP.

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

• A failure of CAS or TAS data from the selected ADC (this disengages the FD).
• A failure of attitude data from the selected AHRS (this disengages the FD).

14. Go Around Mode


The Go Around mode is normally used to transition from an approach to a climbout for a missed approach, but
can be selected at any time.
The flight crew select Go Around mode by pressing either of the two Go Around switches located on the power
levers. When Go Around is selected, the following occurs:
• The AP disengages.
• The FD vertical mode transitions to Go Around mode, which commands a fixed pitch angle of 10°.
• The FD lateral mode transitions to the Wings Level submode, which commands zero roll attitude.
• All FD armed modes are disarmed.
The Go Around mode is deactivated by:
• Activating any other vertical mode, either manually or automatically.
• Engaging the AP.
• Selecting STBY or HSI SEL.
• Changing the selected ADC or AHRS source.
Selecting a lateral FD mode other than Wings Level does not deactivate Go Around.
Selecting TCS in Go Around mode does not modify the Go Around pitch target, and does not deactivate Go
Around mode. Upon TCS release, the FD lateral mode may transition from the Wings Level submode to the
Roll Hold submode of the Lateral Basic mode, depending upon the aircraft bank angle.
The Go Around mode is deactivated and inhibited from activation by:
• A failure of CAS or TAS data from the selected ADC (this disengages the FD).
• A failure of attitude data from the selected AHRS (this disengages the FD).

15. ILS Approach Mode


The ILS Approach mode is a combined lateral and vertical mode used to perform precision Cat I and Cat II ILS
Approaches. The ILS Approach mode captures and tracks ILS localizer and glideslope beams. The ILS
Approach mode consists of the following submodes:
• Localizer Arm
• Localizer Capture
• Localizer Track
• Glideslope Arm
• Glideslope Capture
• Glideslope Track
Transitioning between these submodes is performed automatically by FD. Transitioning from Glideslope Arm
to Glideslope Capture is inhibited until the lateral mode has transitioned to Localizer Capture or Localizer Track
The flight crew use the ILS Approach mode operationally as follows:
• Select a VOR / LOC Receiver as the navigation source.
• Tune a Localizer frequency (the VOR / LOC Receiver automatically tunes the corresponding Glideslope
frequency)
• Select a course on the FGCP corresponding to the desired runway.
• Select the intercept heading target on the FGCP.
• Press the APPR pushbutton on the FGCP to arm the mode.
This automatically arms the Localizer mode, engages the Heading Select mode, and arms the Glideslope
mode. The active vertical mode at the time APPR is pressed remains active. If no vertical mode was active,
then Pitch Hold is activated.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.3-37

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

The Localizer mode can also be armed using the NAV switch on the FGCP. If the flight crew first select NAV to
arm the Localizer mode, then a subsequent selection of APPR automatically arms the Glideslope mode.
The FD Localizer Arm, Localizer Capture and Localizer Track modes are described earlier in this chapter.
The FD automatically transitions to Glideslope Capture mode from Glideslope Arm when the aircraft intercepts
the desired ILS glideslope beam and the lateral mode has transitioned to Localizer Capture or Localizer Track.
The FD automatically transitions to Glideslope Track mode from Glideslope Capture when the aircraft has
pitched onto the glideslope beam.
The FD commands are limited to + 10° / - 15° pitch attitude in Glideslope Capture and Glideslope Track. The
FD commands are load factor limited to ± 0.2 g (gravity acceleration) in Glideslope Capture and ± 0.1 g in
Glideslope Track.
The Glideslope mode is armed by:
• Selecting APPR on the FGCP.
The Glideslope mode is disarmed by:
• Localizer mode is disarmed and Localizer Capture is not activated.
• Localizer Capture mode is deactivated, except when transitioning to Localizer Track.
• Localizer Track mode is deactivated.
• Transition to Glideslope Capture mode.
The Glideslope mode is deactivated by:
• Localizer Capture mode is deactivated, except when transitioning to Localizer Track.
• Localizer Track mode is deactivated.
• Operating the Pitch Thumbwheel.
• Activating any other vertical mode.
The Glideslope modes are disarmed, deactivated, and inhibited from arming by:
• A failure of CAS or TAS data from the selected ADC (this disengages the FD).
• A failure of attitude data from the selected AHRS (this disengages the FD).
• A failure of the Vertical Speed data from the selected AHRS.
• A failure of Glideslope data from the selected VOR / LOC Receiver for 5 s.

16. Dual FD Mode


The Dual FD mode is a submode of the ILS Approach mode which indicates to the flight crew that the AFCS is
in a configuration valid for Category II ILS approaches. In the Dual FD submode, both FGMs independently
display FD commands on the PFDs, with FGM 1 providing the FD commands for the left PFD and FGM 2 pro-
viding FD commands for the right PFD.
In the Dual FD mode, FGM 1 uses Localizer and Glideslope deviations from the left VOR / LOC Receiver, air
data from ADC 1, attitude and Vertical Speed data from AHRS 1, and left course data from the FGCP. FGM 2
uses Localizer and Glideslope deviations from the right VOR / LOC Receiver, air data from ADC 2, attitude and
Vertical Speed data from AHRS 2 and right course data from the FGCP.
The flight crew use the Dual FD submode in conjunction with the ILS Approach mode operationally as follows:
• Set the EFIS ADC Source Selection switch to the NORM position.
• Set the EFIS ATT / HDG Source Selection switch to the NORM position.
• Select the VOR / LOC Receiver #1 as the left navigation source.
• Select the VOR / LOC Receiver #2 as the right navigation source.
• Tune both #1 and #2 VOR / LOC Receivers to the same Localizer frequency.
• Select both left and right courses on the FGCP to the desired runway.
• Select the intercept heading target on the FGCP.
• Press the APPR pushbutton on the FGCP to arm the mode.
• Set the left and right Decision Height on the ICP.
This automatically arms the ILS Approach mode, as described earlier.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


6.3-38 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

The Dual FD submode is activated if:


• Both FGMs are available.
• Both AHRS are valid for both FGMs.
• The EFIS ATT / HDG Source Selection switch is set to the NORM position.
• Both ADCs are valid for both FGMs.
• The EFIS ADC Source Selection switch is set to the NORM position.
• ILS data from both VOR / LOC Receivers is valid and agree for both FGMs.
• The VOR / LOC Receiver #1 is the selected left Nav Source Selection.
• The VOR / LOC Receiver #2 is the selected right Nav Source Selection.
• Both #1 and #2 VOR / LOC Receivers are tuned to the same Localizer frequency.
• Both left and right courses on the FGCP are the same.
• The lateral and vertical active modes are Localizer Track and Glideslope Track.
• The Radio Altitude is valid and below 1200 ft.
• The FGM 1 and FGM 2 Flight Director commands agree.
• TCS is not active.
The Dual FD submode is cancelled by:
• A failure of one or both FGMs.
• A failure of a parameter from either AHRS that is used by the Localizer Track or Glideslope Track modes.
• Changing the EFIS ATT / HDG Source Selection to the '1' OR '2' position.
• A failure of a parameter from either ADC that is used by the Localizer Track or Glideslope Track modes.
• Changing the EFIS ADC Source Selection to the '1' OR '2' position.
• An ILS data failure for 5 s or a mismatch between the ILS data.
• Changing either left or right Nav Source Selection.
• Changing the frequency of either left or right VOR / LOC Receiver.
• Automatic or manual cancellation of Localizer Track or Glideslope Track mode.
• Invalid Radio Altitude data.
• A mismatch between the FD commands.
• Activating TCS.
When the Dual FD submode is active, a DUAL FD message is displayed in green on each PFD and the arrows
located on either side of the HSI SEL push button on the FGCP are both lit.
When the Dual FD submode is cancelled, the DUAL FD message is removed from the PFD. When the Dual FD
submode is cancelled, a CAT II FAIL message is displayed if the lowest of the two selected Decision Heights is
less than 200 ft, indicating a CAT II approach, or if the two Decision Heights are invalid. Otherwise, a DUAL
OFF message is displayed.
If one ILS, ADC or AHRS source fails in the Dual FD submode, the following occurs:
• Both FGMs cancel the Dual FD submode.
• The master FGM selects the remaining valid source and keeps the APPR mode engaged.
• On the FGCP, the arrow corresponding to the source still valid remains lit.
If a discrepancy between the two ILS sources occurs in the Dual FD submode, the following occurs:
• Both FGMs cancel the Dual FD submode.
• The master FGM selects the ILS source that was selected before activating the Dual FD submode and
keeps the APPR mode engaged.
• On the FGCP, the arrow corresponding to the selected nav source remains lit.

17. Tactile Control Steering (TCS)


The flight crew operate the TCS mode by pressing a Tactile Control Steering switch, located on both the pilot's
and co-pilot's control columns. If the Autopilot is engaged, the pitch and roll AP actuators automatically
declutch and the actuator monitoring is inhibited, allowing the pilot manual control of the pitch and roll flight
controls with normal control forces and without disengaging the Autopilot.

6.3.7 Autopilot

The Autopilot (AP) couples the FD commands to the flight control surfaces using pitch and roll servos for auto-
matic control of the aircraft flight path.

6.3.7.1 AP Engagement / Disengagement

The Autopilot is engaged by pressing the AP pushbutton on the FGCP. Engaging the Autopilot also automati-
cally engages the Yaw Damper, if not already engaged. If a failure inhibits the Yaw Damper from engaging, the
Autopilot also is inhibited. If a failure causes the Yaw Damper to disengage, then the Autopilot also disen-
gages.
The Autopilot engages when the pilot presses the AP switch on the FGCP and all of the following conditions
are met:
• AHRS 1 and AHRS 2 are valid.
• AHRS 1 and AHRS 2 do not disagree.
• ADC 1 and ADC 2 are valid.
• ADC 1 and ADC 2 do not disagree.
• The aeroplane is airborne.
• The aeroplane attitude is within the AP engagement limits.
• The Manual Pitch Trim AP Disconnect discrete is not set.
• The AP Disengage Switches are not selected.
• TCS function is not failed.
• TCS function is not active.
• The Stall Warning AP Disconnect discretes from SPM 1 and SPM 2 are not set.
• The GA switches are not selected.
• AP Disengagement Warnings are not active.
• The Yaw Damper function is available.
• Internal AFCS monitoring is valid.
The flight crew disengage the AP manually using the AP or YD pushbutton on the FGCP. The flight crew also
manually disengage the AP by pressing an AP Disengage Switch, by selecting Go Around or by operating
manual pitch trim.
The Autopilot disengages when one of the following conditions is met:
• AHRS 1 or AHRS 2 is failed.
• AHRS 1 and AHRS 2 disagree.
• ADC 1 or ADC 2 is failed.
• ADC 1 and ADC 2 disagree.
• The aeroplane is not airborne.
• The crew press the AP or YD pushbutton on the FGCP (manual disengagement).
• The crew operates manual pitch trim, setting the Manual Pitch Trim AP Disconnect discrete, except if
TCS is active (automatic disengagement).
• The crew manually override the AP using the control column.
• The crew press an AP Disengage Switch (manual disengagement).
• The TCS function fails.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


6.3-40 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

• A Stall Warning AP Disconnect discrete from SPM 1 or SPM 2 is set.


• A GA switch is selected (manual disengagement).
• An AP actuator failure is detected.
• The Yaw Damper disengages automatically.
• Internal AFCS monitoring is failed.
• A Power interrupt greater than the transparency time occurs.
• The aeroplane attitude is outside the domain limits.

6.3.7.2 AP Engagement Indication

Autopilot engagement is indicated by lighting two arrows either side of the AP pushbutton on the FGCP and by
displaying AP in green letters on the PFD.

6.3.7.3 AP INHIBIT Message

If the flight crew attempt to engage the Autopilot, but AP engagement is inhibited by a source external to the
AFCS, then the message AP INHIBIT is displayed on the PFD.
AP INHIBIT is displayed when the AP engagement inhibit condition comes from one of the following sources:
• AHRS monitoring.
• ADU monitoring.
• The aircraft is not airborne.
• The aircraft attitude exceeds the AP engagement limits.
• An AP Disengage Switch is currently pressed.
• A GA switch is selected.
• TCS is active.
• The Manual Pitch Trim AP Disconnect discrete is set.
• A Stall Warning AP Disconnect discrete from SPM 1 or SPM 2 is set.
• The AP disengagement warnings are active.

6.3.7.4 AP FAIL Message

If the flight crew attempt to engage the Autopilot, but AP engagement is inhibited by an internal failure to the
AFCS, then the message AP FAIL is displayed on the PFD. If the failure also inhibits engagement of the Yaw
Damper, then the message displayed on the PFD is AP / YD FAIL.

6.3.7.5 AP Disengagement Visual Warning

Automatic Autopilot disengagement is annunciated by the 2 dedicated red AP Disengage Warning lights
located on the glareshield.
The flight crew acknowledge automatic Autopilot disengagement visual warnings using the AP Disengage
Switches located on the 2 control columns.
Manual Autopilot disengagement is annunciated by displaying an amber AP DISENGAGED (or AP / YD DIS-
ENGAGED) message on the PFD for 5 s. This message does not flash for manual Autopilot disengagement.
This message is not cancelled by pressing an AP Disengage Switch.
AP engagement is inhibited while the AP disengagement visual warnings are active. For an automatic AP dis-
engagement, the flight crew need to reset the AP disengagement warnings prior to attempting reengagement.

6.3.7.6 AP Disengagement Aural Warning

Automatic Autopilot disengagement is annunciated by an aural tone which sounds continuously until acknowl-
edged by the flight crew. The AP disengagement aural warning also sounds if the AP disengagement was
caused by a failure of one of the two FGM power sources.
The flight crew acknowledge automatic Autopilot disengagement aural warnings using the AP Disengage
Switches located on the 2 control columns.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.3-41

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. 5] 17 JUL 2012

Manual AP disengagement is annunciated by an aural tone which sounds for 1.5 s.


This aural tone is not cancelled by pressing an A/P Disengage Switch.
When the AP disengagement aural warning is active, AP engagement is inhibited.

6.3.7.7 A/P Disengage Switches


An A/P Disengage Switch (A/P DIS) is located on each of the Pilot's and Co-Pilot's control columns.
The flight crew use the A/P Disengage Switches for the following functions:
• Disengaging the Autopilot.
• Resetting Autopilot disengage warnings.
• Resetting the Yaw Damper disengage PFD annunciation.

6.3.8 Automatic Pitch Trim


The AFCS Automatic Pitch Trim function performs the following functions:
• Autopilot Pitch Trim when the AP is engaged.
• Flap Auto Pitch Trim when the AP is not engaged and the flaps are transitioned.
The AFCS performs both of these functions using commands to the Flight Control Electronic Control Unit
(FCECU).

6.3.8.1 AP Pitch Trim


When the AP is engaged, the AFCS commands pitch trim to reduce the mistrim control column force held by
the AP pitch servo, ensuring that the pitch transient at AP disengagement is minimal.
The AFCS measures the torque applied to the controls by the AP pitch servo to determine when to trim.
This AP Pitch Trim function is disabled when TCS is active.
The AP Pitch Trim function operates at 2 speeds:
• Trim high speed for Calibrated Airspeed (CAS) below 180 kt.
• Trim low speed for CAS above 180 kt.
The high speed trim provides the AP with adequate controllability during flaps extension / retraction, landing
gear extension / retraction, accelerations and decelerations or combinations of the above.
The low speed trim provides the AP with sufficient precision for when small trim motion has a large effect.
The FCECU gives priority to manual pitch trim commands from the flight crew over automatic pitch trim com-
mands from the AFCS. When the flight crew operate manual pitch trim with the AP engaged, they are effec-
tively overriding the AP, so the AP disengages.
If the AP Pitch Trim function is failed, either due to an input monitor, an output monitor or an AFCS failure, an
amber AP PITCH TRIM FAIL message is displayed on the PFD.
An AP Pitch Trim failure does not automatically disengage the AP.

6.3.8.2 AP Pitch Mistrim Message


When the AP is engaged, each FGM monitors the AP pitch servo torque.
When the AP pitch servo torque exceeds a threshold, the FGMs command display of an amber MISTRIM
[TRIM NOSE UP] or MISTRIM [TRIM NOSE DN] on the PFD. The Pitch Mistrim message is removed from the
PFD when the AP pitch servo torque is reduced below a threshold.
The Pitch Mistrim message is not set by the AFCS when the AP is disengaged, or when TCS is active.
The AP does not disengage automatically when a pitch mistrim occurs.
The Pitch Mistrim message indicates to alert the flight crew that the control column is mistrimmed and that
there may be a significant control column force and pitch transient upon AP disengagement.

6.3.8.3 Flap Auto Pitch Trim


The purpose of the Flap Auto Pitch Trim function is to reduce the mistrim control column force during flap tran-
sitions when the pilot is manually flying the aircraft.
The Flap Auto Pitch Trim function automatically trims the elevator control system to reduce the control column
force the pilot must input to maintain attitude during flap extension and retraction.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


6.3-42 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. 18] 21 NOV 2016 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

To perform the Flap Auto Pitch Trim function, the AFCS transmits commands to the FCECU, which in turn con-
trols a pitch trim actuator that repositions the neutral position of the elevator control system, in a similar manner
as for the Autopilot Pitch Trim function.
The Flap Auto Pitch Trim control law computes the Flap Position Rate from the Flap Position received from the
FPIU. The Flap Auto Pitch Trim function initiates Nose Up or Nose Down trim commands when the magnitude
of the Flap Position Rate is greater than a threshold and stops the Nose Up or Nose Down trim command when
the magnitude of the Flap Position Rate decreases below the threshold. The Flap Auto Pitch Trim function
commands Nose Down trim for flap extension and Nose Up trim for flap retraction.
The Flap Auto Pitch Trim control law commands pitch trim at a rate to produce 2° of Elevator trim for flap tran-
sitions from Flaps 15° to 35° and Flaps 35° to 15°.
The Flap Auto Pitch Trim function uses modulation of the Trim Speed Selection to obtain this pitch trim rate.

The Flap Auto Pitch Trim function automatically engages when all of the following conditions exist:
• Weight On Wheels (WOW) input indicates the aircraft is airborne for 2 s.
• CAS is less than 180 kt.
• The AP is not engaged.
• The flight crew are not operating Manual Pitch Trim.
• The AFCS detects that the flaps are moving between Flaps 15° and Flaps 35°.
The Flap Auto Pitch Trim function automatically disengages when any of the following conditions occur:
• Weight On Wheels (WOW) input indicates the aircraft is on ground.
• CAS is greater than or equal to 180 kt.
• The AP is engaged.
• The flight crew operate Manual Pitch Trim.
• The AFCS detects that the flaps stop moving.
The Flap Auto Pitch Trim function also automatically disengages and inhibits engagement for AFCS failures,
FCECU failures and failures of essential inputs.
There is no annunciation for Flap Auto Pitch Trim engaged or disengaged.
If the Flap Auto Pitch Trim function is failed, either due to an input monitor, an output monitor, or an AFCS fail-
ure, an amber AUTO TRIM FAIL message is displayed on the PFD.
If the Flap Auto Pitch Trim function is disengaged or inhibited from engaging due to a pitch trim system failure
detected by the FCECU, there is no specific annunciation displayed for the Flap Auto Pitch Trim function, since
the pitch trim system failure is annunciated by a Pitch Trim Fail light.
Similarly, if the Flap Auto Pitch Trim function is disengaged or inhibited from engaging due to the pilot selecting
Elevator Trim off, there is no specific annunciation displayed for the Flap Auto Pitch Trim function.

6.3.8.4 Roll Mistrim

When the AP is engaged, each FGM monitors the AP roll servo torque.
When the AP roll servo torque exceeds a threshold, the FGMs command display of an amber MISTRIM [TRIM
L WING DN] or MISTRIM [TRIM R WING DN] on the PFD.
The Roll Mistrim message is removed from the PFD when the AP roll servo torque is reduced below a thresh-
old. The Roll Mistrim message is not set by the AFCS when the AP is disengaged or when TCS is active.
There is no automatic roll trim function.
The AP does not disengage automatically when a roll mistrim occurs.
The Roll Mistrim message indicates to the flight crew that the control wheel is mistrimmed and that there may
be a significant control wheel force and roll transient at AP disengagement. The flight crew must disengage AP,
trim the lateral control system to remove the Roll Mistrim condition and re-engage AP as desired.

6.3.9 Yaw Damper

The Yaw Damper (YD), through control of the rudder, provides:


• Damping of the aircraft Dutch Roll mode.
• Turn coordination.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.3-43

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. 18] 21 NOV 2016

The YD authority is limited to a maximum of ± 4.5° of rudder travel by mechanical stops.


YD commands are limited in software as a function of airspeed.

6.3.9.1 YD Engagement / Disengagement

YD engagement is allowed with the aircraft both on ground and airborne. However, engagement of the YD is
inhibited when the Roll Attitude exceeds ± 45°.
The YD is engaged by either:
• Pressing the YD push-button on the FGCP.
• Pressing the AP push-button on the FGCP.
AP engagement automatically engages the Yaw Damper.
AP disengagement does not disengage the YD, unless the AP disengagement was caused by a failure that
also causes the YD to disengage.
YD disengagement automatically disengages the AP.
The flight crew disengages the YD using the YD push-button on the FGCP.
The YD push-button on the FGCP is monitored to detect a stuck condition.
If a stuck YD push-button is detected, the YD automatically disengages.
The YD engages when the pilot presses either the YD or the AP push-button switch on the FGCP and all of the
following conditions are met:
• AHRS 1 and AHRS 2 are valid.
• AHRS 1 and AHRS 2 do not disagree.
• ADC1 and ADC 2 are valid.
• ADC 1 and ADC 2 do not disagree.
• The aircraft attitude is within the YD domain limits.
• Internal AFCS monitoring is Valid.
• The YD DISENGAGE message is not active.
The YD disengages when one of the following conditions is met:
• AHRS 1 or AHRS 2 is failed.
• AHRS 1 and AHRS 2 disagree.
• ADC 1 or ADC 2 is failed.
• ADC 1 and ADC 2 disagree.
• A YD actuator failure is detected.
• The flight crew press the YD push-button on the FGCP (manual disengagement).
• YD push-button on Guidance controller is stuck
• Internal AFCS monitoring is failed.
• A power interrupt greater than the transparency time occurs.

6.3.9.2 YD Engagement Indication

YD engagement is indicated by lighting 2 arrows on either side of the YD push-button on the FGCP.
These 2 arrows are not lit when the YD is disengaged.

6.3.9.3 YD INHIBIT Message

If the flight crew attempt to engage the YD, but YD engagement is inhibited by a source external to the AFCS,
then the message YD INHIBIT is displayed on the PFD.
YD INHIBIT is displayed when the YD engagement inhibit condition comes from one of the following sources:
• AHRS monitoring
• ADU monitoring
• The aircraft attitude exceeds the engagement limits

AOM DASH 8-Q400


6.3-44 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

6.3.9.4 YD FAIL Message

If the flight crew attempt to engage the YD, but YD engagement is inhibited by an internal failure to the AFCS,
then the message AP / YD FAIL is displayed on the PFD.

6.3.9.5 YD Disengagement Indication

Automatic YD disengagement is annunciated by flashing an amber YD DISENGAGE (or AP / YD DISEN-


GAGE) message on the PFD.
The PFD message flashes until acknowledged by the flight crew, then remains steady for 5 s.
The flight crew acknowledge the YD disengagement PFD message using the A/P Disengage Switches located
on the 2 control wheels.
Manual Yaw Damper disengagement is annunciated by displaying an amber YD DISENGAGE (or AP / YD
DISENGAGE) message on the PFD for 5 s. This message does not flash for manual YD disengagement.
This message is not cancelled by pressing an A/P Disengage Switch.
YD engagement is inhibited while the YD DISENGAGE message is active.

6.3.9.6 YD Re-Centering Function

The Yaw Damper actuator is automatically re-centered following a manual YD disengagement or an automatic
disengagement caused by an external AFCS failure.
Because of safety considerations, the YD actuator is not automatically re-centered following an automatic YD
disengagement caused by an internal AFCS failure.
If the YD is not engaged and the YD actuator is not centered, an amber YD NOT CENTERED message is dis-
played on the PFD.
This message is displayed continuously while the YD is not engaged and the YD actuator position is not null.

6.3.10 Flight Guidance Control

The Flight Guidance Control Panel (FGCP) is located in the center of the flight compartment glareshield, pro-
viding both pilots the means for selection of FD, AP and YD functions.
The ESID Control Panel (ESCP) located on the center aisle stand provides the means to select the ADC and
AHRS sources.

6.3.11 Flight Mode Annunciation

The mode of operation and the status of the AFCS is continuously displayed in the Flight Mode Annunciator
area of the Primary Flight Display (PFD).

The FMA displays the following information:


• AP or TCS engage status
• AP / YD status messages
• Mismatch messages
• Mistrim messages
• FD selected targets
• Lateral active mode
• Lateral armed mode
• Vertical active mode
• Vertical armed mode
• FD abnormal conditions messages
• Selected HSI, Dual FD or Cat II Fail indications
• AFCS general failure messages
The FMA area is located in the upper part of each PFD.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.3-45

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

6.3.12 AFCS Messages

The AFCS sends operational messages (Table 6.3-1) to the PFD to warn or to advise the flight crew of the sta-
tus of the AFCS. A message is displayed whenever the flight crew attempt to engage a function but the func-
tion is inhibited.
Some messages are reset by pilot action. The FGMs send these messages until the flight crew perform the
appropriate action to clear the message.
4 types of AFCS messages are defined:
• FD modes and targets.
• Non-resettable messages that indicate a failure.
• Messages requiring a pilot action to be cleared.
• Advisory messages indicating non-execution of a pilot request. These messages are related to attempts
to engage the AP and YD or attempts to engage FD modes.
When more than one message for the same location on the FMA is commanded by the AFCS, the PFD dis-
plays only one message, according to a priority ranking.
Each FGM generates these messages and sends them to both PFDs. The PFDs perform a source selection of
the FGM inputs before displaying the messages, using one of the following criteria:
1. FGM 1 if valid, FGM 2 otherwise, except in Dual FD mode where own side FGM shall be selected.
2. FGM 1 or FGM 2, whichever FGM sends the information.
3. FGM 1 and FGM 2 , when both FGMs send the information.

ARCDU CALLOUTS PERTAINING TO PACIS

1) PA KEY (momentary action)


PUSH - key segment (green)
- selecting the microphone / interphone selector to PA, enables the flight crew to make PA transmissions
using the PTT / INPH switch
- green annunciator light on both ARCDUs, the PA lights on both the cabin attendant keyboard (FWD)
and handset (AFT) and on the cabin attendant advisory light panels will come on
- there is no volume control in PA mode
- the PA mode is terminated by pushing on the PA key again, by choosing another PACIS mode (CALL or
EMER) or by moving the microphone / interphone selector to another transmitting position. The side
tone is then set to zero
- when the PA mode is activated by another crew member, the PA key segment (green) comes on as an
indication, regardless of the microphone / interphone selector position (there will be no side tone unless
the selector is on the PA position)
- to activate the PA mode, the microphone / interphone selector shall be set on the PA position and then
the PA key must be pressed

2) CALL KEY (momentary action)


PUSH - key segment (green)
- with the microphone / interphone selector set to PA, it enables the pilot (or the co-pilot) to call and com-
municate with the flight attendant(s)
- generate a chime sound in the cabin only
- green annunciator light on both ARCDUs, the CALL lights on both the cabin attendant keyboard (FWD)
and handset (AFT) and on the flight attendant advisory light panels will come on
- the pilot (or the co-pilot) will be able to listen and talk to the attendant(s) on the intercom network as
soon as the attendant lifts the handset
- a PTT, INPH or HOT MIC selection is required by the flight crew in order to connect their microphone to
the interphone system
- when the CALL mode is activated by another crew member, the CALL annunciator is lit up as an indica-
tion
- when a cabin attendant is calling the flight crew, a chime sound is generated in the flight compartment
- it is not necessary to press the PTT or the cabin crew handset when communicating on the interphone
- this mode is terminated by pressing the CALL key again, by choosing another mode (PA or EMER) or
moving the microphone / interphone selector to another transmitting position

NOTES: During emergency conditions where all aircraft electrical power is lost and the Emergency
Lights have activated, the PA and CALL lights on the pilots ARCDU and both attendant
keypads will be illuminated incorrectly and should be ignored. This condition is a function of
the operation of the RCAU and in no way inhibits the correct audio function of the PACIS
system.

Pilot’s PA operation continues to be indicated by a PA Tx indication on the ARCDU when the


pilot’s hand microphone PTT is pressed. Pilot’s CALL operation continues to be indicated by a
high-low chime heard on the cabin speakers and in the pilots headset.

PUSH - causes a chime sound to broadcast in the cabin
- this key operates regardless of the microphone / interphone selector position and of the other PACIS
mode

4) EMER KEY (momentary action)


PUSH - key segment (amber)
- selecting the microphone / interphone selector to PA, enables the pilot (or the co-pilot) to call and com-
municate with the flight attendant(s)
- same functionality as the CALL key, except:
- the amber EMER lights on the ARCDUs and both the cabin attendant keyboard (FWD) and handset
(AFT), will flash
- there will be a red flashing annunciator on the cabin attendant advisory light panels
- the chime sound is broadcast on the flight compartment and in the cabin
- the microphone / interphone selector must be selected to PA for the flight crew to hear the cabin crew
member
- the selection of the EMER mode at any other station overrides and postpones the CALL mode (even if it
is already activated)
- this mode is terminated by pressing on the same key again, by choosing another mode (PA or CALL) or
moving the microphone / interphone selector to another transmitting position
- when an emergency mode or an automatic reconfiguration occurs, the PA, CALL and EMER lights
extinguish and PACIS modes are suspended
- on the same ARCDU, only one of the CALL, PA and EMER modes can be activated at any one time,
but the activated mode on one ARCDU can be different from the activated mode on the other one,
therefore, two keys can be illuminated at the same time

The Audio Radio Management System (ARMS) has 2 Audio and Radio Control Display Units (ARCDU 1 and
ARCDU 2). They are the principal crew interface component with the communication system.
The ARCDUs have the crew functions that follow:
• Tunes the radio communication and radio navigation systems and controls their operational modes
• Shows all data that is related to the operation of the radio communication and navigation systems
• Controls the operation of the Passenger Address and Communication Interphone System (PACIS)
• Controls the audio selection to the pilots headphones and flight compartment speakers
• Monitors the operation of the RCOM and RNAV systems to show malfunctions
The 2 ARCDUs are connected to each other and to the other systems that follow (Figures 6.4-26 and 27):
• Remote Control Audio Unit (RCAU)
• Radio Navigation receivers (RNAV)
• Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)
• Flight Data Processing System (FDPS)
• Flight Management System (FMS)

The Audio Integration System (AIS) uses the ARCDUs and Observer's Audio Control Panel to control the
Remote Control Audio Unit (RCAU).
The Audio Integration System (AIS) has the components (Figure 6.4-28) that follow:
• Remote Control Audio Unit (RCAU)
• Observer's Audio Control Panel
• Flight Compartment Speakers
• Hand Microphones
• Jack Boxes - Flight Compartment
• Jack Box - Observer
• Jack - Ground Crew
• Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR)
The Audio and Radio Control Display Unit (ARCDU) is the main interface between the pilot and the airplane
Radio Communication Navigation equipment.
It replaces all traditional radio control heads and audio control panels.
All necessary inflight information is continuously displayed on the 2 ARCDUs.
Most of the Communication and Navigation equipment can also be manually tuned by the Flight Management
System (FMS) when installed.
In the event the Remote Control Audio Unit (RCAU) fails, a means exists to maintain communications.
Selection of the NORM / EMER switch to EMER on the ARCDU and INT connects the pilot’s headset directly to
VHF COM 1 audio output and provides a direct connection of the pilot's transmitter keyline to VHF COM 1
transceiver (when keyed).
The co-pilot is similarly connected to VHF COM 2 transceiver and INT.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


6.4-46 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. 17] 30 JUN 2016 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

Indication of operation in EMER mode is provided by the word EMER in red characters on the 3rd line of the
INT display area on the ARCDU.

Loss of communication between the ARCDU and the RCAU audio channel dedicated to it, induces the audio
channel to switch automatically in a pre-programmed configuration (known as Automatic Reconfiguration)
which is displayed on the ARCDU.
The annunciation of loss of communication consists of the display of the message FAIL on the 2nd line of the
INT display area on the ARCDU.
Audio is available for VHF 1, VHF NAV 1 and INT.
Interphone is the only system selected for transmission and is in the HOT microphone mode.
The co-pilot is similarly connected to VHF COM 2 receiver and VOR 2.

EMER mode has precedence over Automatic Reconfiguration.

ARCDU 1 is powered from the left essential bus and the right main bus.
When the right main bus malfunctions, the airplane's left essential bus (the battery) continues to supply electri-
cal power.

When emergency lights are operated, 6 V DC power is provided to energise a relay, which changes ARCDU 1
power source from the left essential bus to the battery bus.
The battery bus supplies 24 V DC power through a 7.5 A circuit breaker to the pilot's audio card, ARCDU 1, the
Passenger Address Amplifier (PAA) and the cabin attendant’s handsets.
The PA system also continues to operate.

6.4.5 VHF Communication System

The VHF Communication System is used as the primary means of voice communication with ground-based Air
Traffic Control (ATC) systems. It is also used for airplane-to-airplane communication or emergency purposes.
Up to 3 VHF transceivers can be installed.

The VHF 1 transceiver (Figure 6.4-29) is controlled by the equipment that follow:
• One Audio and Radio Control Display Unit (ARCDU) or the other
• Standby controller for VHF 1 transceiver
• An optional Flight Management System (FMS) Multi-Functional Control Display Unit (MCDU)
A standby control panel is used to control VHF COM 1 when both ARCDUs malfunction. The standby control
panel will control VHF COM 1 when it is powered.

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

The VHF 2 (Figure 6.4-30) and VHF 3 (if installed) (Figure 6.4-31) transceiver are controlled by the equipment
that follow:
• One Audio and Radio Control Display Unit (ARCDU) or the other
• An optional Flight Management System (FMS) Multi-Functional Control Display Unit (MCDU)

If an Airplane Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) were installed it would be con-
nected to VHF 3. ACARS enables real time, two ways, data message transfer between airplane and ground.
The ACARS would automatically record and transmit event times such as OUT (of the gate), OFF (the ground),
ON (the ground) and IN (the gate), as determined by airplane sensors. Weather and winds aloft data may be
provided to the flight crew from the ground. Message transfer may be automatic or manual.

The ARCDUs are used to select VHF Communication modes, functions and manually tune the VHF COM 1
and VHF COM 2 frequencies. The Flight Management System (FMS) will also tune the communication receiv-
ers.

Failure of the VHF Communications System or removal of 28 VDC to the system causes the applicable radio
window of the ARCDU to display in red FAIL message in the location normally dedicated to the preset fre-
quency at which point tuning is disabled.

The flight crew and observer can transmit and receive on the system through their ARCDU and Observer’s
Audio Control Panel (ACP) using:
• Headsets and boom microphones
• Hand-held (except observer) or oxygen mask microphones
• Overhead speaker in the flight compartment

NOTE: Speaker audio is muted when the PTT / INPH switch on either control wheel is selected, or
when the PTT switch on the nosewheel steering switch is pushed.

NOTE: This procedure corresponds to:


- AFM Supplement 81: UniLink UL-701 Data Link System
- AFM Supplement 109: UniLink UL-801 Data Link System

The Universal Avionics Systems Corporation (UASC) UniLink UL-701 or UL-801 is an air to ground digital data
link communication system that allows an aircraft to exchange data with the aircraft operator's base via a
ground based service provider.

[with Option: UniLink UL-701 Data Link System]

The UL-701 uses an embedded VHF radio for communicating over the Aircraft Communications Addressing
and Reporting System (ACARS) network, providing the functionality equivalent to a level 0, ARINC 758 Com-
munication Management Unit (CMU).

[with Option: UniLink UL-801 Data Link System]

The UL-801 uses an embedded VHF Data Radio (VDR) for communicating over the Aircraft Communications
Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) network, providing the functionality equivalent to an ARINC 758
Communication Management Unit (CMU).

The internal VDR is capable of supporting both the D8PSK modulation of the VDL Mode 2 channel and the cur-
rent ACARS MSK modulation of the POA ACARS channel (which is used when the aircraft is outside of the
VDL Mode 2 coverage area) or directed by the DSP.

ACARS over VDL Mode 2 Aviation VHF Link Control (AVLC) is referred to as AOA.

The Data exchanged may include a variety of information such as air traffic control clearances, flight plans and
weather text information.

[with Option: UniLink UL-701 Data Link System]

The UASC UL-701 control and display is accomplished via the UNS-1E Flight Management System (FMS).

[with Option: UniLink UL-801 Data Link System]

The UASC UL-801 control and display is accomplished via the UNS-1Ew Flight Management System (FMS).

A loadable customer database, which defines user interface characteristics and uplink / downlink message def-
initions for Airline Operational Control (AOC), allows for customization of AOC application.

This system interfaces with Aircraft Doors, Weight on Wheels (WOW) and Parking Brake all support Out, Off,
On, In (OOOI) message reporting.

[with Option: UniLink UL-801 Data Link System]

The communications link connects the UL-801 directly to a Datalink Service Provider (DSP).

This provides a general purpose communications link between the aircraft and ground computers utilizing such
first party service providers such as ARINC, SITA and / or AVICOM.

It is the user’s decision which DSP is selected.

The decision may also be based on the second party DSP to which the user subscribes.

UPLINK MESSAGES

The CMU will only process uplinks messages that are intended for the aircraft.
Depending on the nature of the message, the data will be routed by the CMU to the appropriate end user
device, either the MCDU for display and / or the Flight Compartment Printer for printing.
The 1st form of message alerting to the crew is by the flashing FMS MSG annunciator in the upper right corner
of the MCDU.
The 2nd form of alerting is through discrete outputs to the Audio and Radio Control Display Unit (ARCDU) and
Remote Control Audio Unit (RCAU), providing Visual and Aural indications.
The magenta CALL AUX 1 indication on both ARCDUs provides Visual advisory and the Selcal chime provides
the Aural annunciation.
Cancellation of displayed message occurs upon acknowledgement of the message via the MCDU.
Visual and Aural advisories are inhibited during take-off and landing.

VERIFIED MESSAGES
Verified messages are displayed via the MCDU and are identified as those messages without an UNVERIFIED
or AOC label on the message page.
Verified messages have been checked by the UniLink for corruption during transmission using a Cyclic Redun-
dancy Check (CRC).
Verified messages may be used for applications for which operational approval has been granted.

UNVERIFIED MESSAGES
Unverified messages are displayed via the MCDU and are identified as those messages with an UNVERIFIED
or AOC label on the message page.
Unverified messages have not been checked by the UniLink for errors during transmission.

DOWNLINK MESSAGES
The data used for downlinks are transmitted to the CMU from the FMS using Low speed ARINC 429 data
buses and through the integral VHF radio for transmission.
The CMU will transmit the aircraft specific Aircraft Registration and Flight Number as part of the downlink mes-
sage in order to correlate the specific aircraft with the intended airline host to which the message is to be deliv-
ered.

PRINTER
The printer consists of a paper content indicator window, 6 switch / indicators, a handle and a paper feed.
The paper feed incorporates duel cutter blades for a 2 way paper tear.
The paper used is termal printer paper rolls that are not perforated so messages of various lengths can be
easely removed from the unit.
The paper is loaded through the hinged front access cover and can be changed with the printer still in its
mounts.
The print requests and message data are sent to the printer from the CMU over the ARINC 429 data bus.
When the message has been printed, the paper is automatically advanced.
A message being printed will always be completed before polling for the next message begins.

The front panel switch module contains the backlit pushbutton control switch and indicator lights as follows:

• SLEW Switch (green) - allows advancement of the paper while depresed.


It is disabled during the printing process.

• TEST Switch (green) - does a functional built-in test of the internal circuitry and ARINC 429 interface.
It also generates a printout of a test pattern and fault diagnostic messages.

• RESET Switch (green) - resets the printer’s alert relay contact outputs and message waiting bits.

• MSG (Message) Indicator (blue) - comes on when a message has been received.
The message light goes out when the RESET switch is pressed.

• PAPER Indicator (yellow) - comes on when the printer is out of paper.

• FAIL Indicator (yellow) - comes on when the printer built-in test senses a failure.

• PAPER FULL / EMPTY Indicator - shows the amount of paper that remains in the printer.
To prevent print head damage, a sensor light module deactivates the print head when there is no paper left
in the printer.

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. 14] 27 MAY 2015

6.4.7 Interphone System

The interphone system is for crew to crew communication.


The system includes:
• Flight crew interphone (Figure 6.4-33)
• Service interphone
• Passenger Address / Communication Interphone System (PACIS) CALL and EMER for flight crew to cabin
crew communication

The flight crew interphone is for flight compartment communication.


The ARCDUs and the observer's Audio Control Panel (ACP) interface with the RCAU to control the:
• Push To Talk (PTT)
• Microphone audio
• Headphone audio
• Interphone communications
• Speaker audio

The ability to detect a stuck hand microphone keyline is available.


If the hand microphone keyline is activated for longer than 3 min, it is automatically disabled.
Each speaker has 3 sets of wires connected to it.
One is controlled by the speaker pushbutton switches located on the ARCDUs to make an on or off selection.
The other input is used for aural alerts.
The volume level of the tone or synthetic voice message sounds cannot be adjusted by the flight crew.
The service interphone is used to communicate between the flight compartment and ground crew.

The system has 3 external ground crew stations:


- 1 on the left side forward fuselage (Figure 6.4-35),
- 1 at the REFUEL / DEFUEL panel in the right nacelle (Sub-Chapter 6.9, FUEL) and
- 1 in the tail of the airplane located near the CVR or FDR.

The Passenger Address and Communication Interphone System allows pilots and cabin crew:
• Private voice communication between the flight compartment and cabin crew member (FA) station
(CALL or EMER)
• Visual and aural notification of both normal and emergency calls

If the primary airplane power fails, the emergency light batteries energize a relay that switches the PACIS
power from Left Essential bus to BATTERY POWER bus in the Lower Right Circuit Breaker Panel when the
emergency lights are on.
The PA mode will continue to function even if the engines and auxiliary power have stopped and no external
power sources are connected.
When the emergency lights are turned on, the pilot and the 2 FAs can make PA announcements when the pri-
mary electrical power source is not available.

The battery bus supplies electrical power though the PA EMER PWR circuit breaker to the:
• PAA
• ARCDU 1
• Pilot circuit card in the RCAU
• Forward and aft flight attendant hand sets.

NOTE: The interphone system does not include PA functions, even though PACIS is used as part of
the interphone system through use of CALL and EMER keys.

6.4.9 Cockpit Voice Recorder

When the airplane electrical system is powered, the Solid State Cockpit Voice Recorder (SSCVR) system
records the last 2 h of:
• all flight crew communication
• flight compartment area microphone
• PA announcements
• clock data
The CVR receives audio data from the Audio and Radio Management System (ARMS).
It records audio in a digital format in crash-survivable Non-Volatile Memory (NVM).
The CVR is located in a crash-survivable case in the airplane tail. The control unit is in the CENTER console.
An inertia switch removes power from the system if the G forces are more than the preset limits.
The CVR also has an Underwater Locating Device (ULD), which starts automatically when submersed in water

(Option - UNIVERSAL CVR)


In the event of a total aircraft power failure, the optional Recorder Independent Power Supply (RIPS) will power
the CVR for an additional 10 min (± 1 min).

6.4.10 Flight Data Recorder

The Flight Data Recorder (FDR) assesses, measures and records parameters of flight for subsequent analy-
sis. The FDR receives from the Integrated Flight Cabinet (IFC 1), the airplane parameters that follow:
• Flight path
• Speed
• Attitude
• Engine Power
• Configuration
• Operation
With power available, the FDR will record when any of the following conditions are satisfied:
• Anti collision light set to RED or WHITE
• Both engines running (based on oil pressure)
• Airplane airborne
The recorder is in a crash-survivable case in the airplane tail.
On the ground, the system operates when there is electrical power on the airplane and the anti-collision lights
are selected on.
In the air, the flight data recorder will operate with the anti-collision lights on or off.
An inertia switch removes power from the system if the G forces are more than the preset limits.
The unit records 25 h of data in a continuous loop format.
The flight data recorder has an underwater locator beacon, which starts automatically upon contact with water.

(Option - UNIVERSAL FDR)


The unit records 143 h of data in a continuous loop format.
The flight data recorder has an underwater locator beacon, which starts automatically upon contact with water.

Extended Storage Quick Access Recorder (EQAR)


(Option - CR 831 SO 90181 or CR 831 CH 00057)

The optional Extended storage Quick Access Recorder (EQAR) is an on-board recorder based on rewriteable
optical disk technology and works in conjunction with the FDR. It records the equivalent information as
recorded on the FDR including the Date and Flight Number if an alternate Clock option is installed.
The equipment may be used as a Quick Access Recorder (QAR) or as Digital ACMS (Aircraft Condition Moni-
toring System) Recorder (DAR) for recording on-board airplane flight and message data supplied by the air-
plane FDPS. The EQAR will record approximately 320 h of data.

[Rev. 6] 05 NOV 2012 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

6.4.11 Emergency Locator Transmitter

The Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) system provides the airplane with an independent and automatically
latched continuous distress signal transmission.
The ELT is a self-contained unit in the airplane dorsal fin.
An inertia switch automatically starts operation of the ELT, if the G forces are more than the preset limits.

The ELT system also supplies the flight crew with the functions that follow:
• Visual annunciation of operation
• System reset capability when operating due to an automatically-latched initiation
• Manual system operation

The ELT can be manually operated by using the ELT remote switch on the OVERHEAD panel.
The ELT transmits at the assigned international civil and military emergency frequencies of 121.5 MHz and
243.0 MHz.
The ELT power supply is independent of the airplane electrical system.
It uses an internal 7.5 V DC Alkaline and Manganese battery pack.

3 Frequencies ELT with COPAS / SRSAT KANNAD 406 MHz Frequency


(Option - CR 825 SO 90309 or CR 825 CH 01451)

The Kannad 406 AF ELT is a single transmitter unit capable of Fixed Manual and Automatic operation.
A remote control switch panel is located in the flight compartment which controls the required operating and
test functions and provides a buzzer that satisfies the aural warning requirements of the system.
It can be programmed to provide other forms of aircraft identification (i.e. aircraft nationality registration, etc.).

PORTABLE EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER (ELT)


(OPTION - CR 825 SO 70476)

The portable ELT is located in the RH FWD overhead bin (typical installation).
When activated the ELT transmits an emergency signal on 3 radio frequencies (121.5 MHz, 243 MHz and 406
MHz) and is powered by a lithium battery pack.
At 121.5 or 243 MHz homing frequency, the ELT will transmit for approximately 100 h (with new batteries and
at above - 20°AC).
The 406 MHz frequency transmission is deliberately stopped after 24 h to extend the 121.5 / 243 MHz trans-
mission for as long as possible.

NOTE: The usable life time of batteries is 12 years.


To be compliant with FAR regulations, they must be replaced every 6 years when 50% of their
useful life has expired.

In case of activation, the ELT can be stopped manually by setting the switch to “OFF”.

NOTE: Unlike other ELT’s (automatic), this Portable ELT is not fitted with a “G Switch” (shock
detector)

6.5 (ATA 24) ELECTRICAL POWER

6.5.1 Introduction

The Electrical Power Generation and Distribution System (EPGDS) is used to supply the electrical energy for
all onboard electrical equipment.

The EPGDS has DC (Direct Current) and AC (Alternating Current) generating systems. The DC generation
system includes a battery system. The EPGDS provides for energy conversion, distribution, storage, control,
protection, monitoring and indication to the flight crew.

Provision is made for external connection of DC or AC external power while on the ground.

6.5.2 General

The DC generation system is supplied by 3 NiCad batteries, 2 engine driven starter / generators, 2 Trans-
former Rectifier Units (TRUs) and an optional Auxiliary Power Unit (APU).

The TRUs supply 28 VDC (Volts Direct Current) and are powered by 2 engine driven AC generators that sup-
ply 115 VAC (Volts Alternating Current).

The power is distributed by an electrical bus system. It reconfigures for individual power source and bus fail-
ures, by the automatic closing and opening of bus tie contactors.

There are both DC and AC external power receptacles for Ground Power Unit (GPU) connection.

All AC and DC airplane services can be operated from the AC generators or the AC external power alone.

6.5.4 Detailed Description

The Electrical Power Generation and Distribution System (EPGDS) (Figure 6.5-14) has an Electrical Power
Control Unit (EPCU) to control, monitor and distribute DC power to the airplane’s electrical buses. The EPCU
automatically reconfigures the EPGDS for power source and bus failures, by the closing and opening of bus
ties contactors. Contactor control is determined by automatic functions during the operation of the airplane.
Manual inputs are achieved through the selection of switches in the flight compartment that may be vetoed by
the EPCU.

6.5.5 AC / DC Power Monitor System

System parameters are monitored in the flight compartment on the Electronic System Indicating Displays
(ESID). Select the SYS (System) position on the appropriate Multi Function Display (MFD) rotary switch on the
ESID control panel to give electrical system indications.

6.5.6 DC System

The DC electrical schematic is shown in Figure 6.5-15


The DC generation system has the following sources:
• Main, Auxiliary and Standby Batteries
• 2 Starter / Generators
• 2 Transformer Rectifiers Units (TRU)
• DC External
• APU Starter / Generator (Optional)
The power sources supply power to the following buses in order of priority:
• Battery
• Left and Right Essential
• Left and Right Main
• Left and Right Secondary

6.5.6.1 Batteries

The main and auxiliary 24 V NiCad batteries are located in the lower left nose compartment. The main and
auxiliary batteries have a 40 Ah capacity. The standard standby 17 Ah battery (optional 40 Ah) is located in the
tail compartment, when no APU is installed. With an APU installed, the standby battery is located in the nose
compartment. The MAIN and AUX batteries are used for engine starting if ground power is not available. All 3
batteries supply backup power to the airplane essential services in flight for 30 minutes or more.

NOTE: Battery duration for operation of essential services is 60 minutes (DOT, FAA) and 45 minutes
(EASA), if Integrated Standby Instrument is installed.

The batteries are connected to the left and right essential buses (Figure 6.5-16) by selecting the BATTERY
MASTER switch. Selecting the BATTERY MASTER switch to the ON position closes 3 contactors and con-
nects all 3 batteries to the essential buses. The connection required for the control of the above contactors is
directly hard wired and is independent of the EPCU operation. The EPCU itself is energized from the essential
buses.

NOTE: Battery power cannot be applied to the secondary buses.

Battery temperatures, as indicated on the ESID Electrical Page, should be equal to or greater than - 20°C prior
to dispatch.

NOTE: There is no battery temperature limitation for starting Engines or APU.

With the BATTERY MASTER switch on, the batteries are connected to the essential buses at all times. In this
way powering of flight safety equipment, which is also connected to the essential buses, is enabled. In case of
emergency operation the batteries are the main energy sources for the airplane.
In addition to the BATTERY MASTER switch, each of the batteries has a dedicated switch.

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

Selecting the MAIN BATT switch to ON, will directly connect the main battery to the right main bus. Similarly,
selecting to ON of the AUX BATT switch will connect the auxiliary battery to the left main bus.
The connections of the main and auxiliary batteries to the main buses are controlled by the EPCU logic. Condi-
tions that require battery disconnection from the bus are the following:
• Emergency operation (defined later)
• Bus fault detected
Manually selecting the STBY BATT switch to ON will connect the standby battery to the left main bus. This con-
nection is achieved electronically by the EPCU if the following conditions are met:
• DC external power (battery charge option) connected
• No emergency operation
• No bus faults detected
MAIN BATTERY, AUX BATTERY and STBY BATTERY caution lights come on whenever the related battery is
not connected to its feeder bus. A battery temperature indicator on the MFD Electrical page, continuously
shows Main, Aux and Stby battery temperatures when selected on the ESID control panel. High battery tem-
perature will turn on the MAIN BAT HOT, AUX BAT HOT or STBY BAT HOT warning light and cause associ-
ated temperature value on the MFD to turn red. The warning light will go out when the temperature drops
below the overheat condition.

17 Ah Battery to Forward Fuselage


(Option - CR 824 CH 00090)
The 17 Ah battery is relocated in the forward fuselage adjacent to the two 40 Ah batteries.

Three 40 Ah Batteries Configuration


(Option - CR 824 SO 90104 or 824 CH 00091)
All three 40 Ah batteries are located in the forward fuselage.

6.5.6.2 Starter / Generators

The starter / generators are located on the accessory gearbox of each engine. Each starter / generator serves
as a starter motor and will revert to generator operation if the DC GEN switch is in the ON position and the
engine speed exceeds 50% NH following successful engine start. Each generator output is monitored and con-
trolled by its Generator Control Unit (GCU). After engine start, the GCU ensures the generator supplies 28.5
VDC (400 A max) to its feeder bus regardless of load.
The EPCU will then monitor and control the DC EPGDS. The EPCU will turn on the # 1 DC GEN or # 2 DC
GEN caution lights in the event the DC generator is disconnected from its feeder bus. If a generator overheat
condition occurs, the appropriate caution light # 1 DC GEN HOT or # 2 DC GEN HOT will come on. The light
will go out when the temperature drops below the overheat condition.

6.5.6.3 Transformer Rectifier Units (TRU)


Located in the nose, the 2 Transformer Rectifier Units change 3 phases, 115 V, variable frequency AC input
power into 28 VDC (300 A max) nominal output. The TRUs are unregulated but provide DC power in the range
of 26 to 29 VDC during operation.
Under normal conditions, each TRU powers its respective secondary bus. The L TRU or R TRU caution light
comes on if either TRU is off line or failed. The L TRU HOT or R TRU HOT caution light comes on if the sensor
in either detects an overheat condition. The light will go out when the temperature drops below the overheat
condition.
The 2 TRUs alone are capable of powering the entire DC system.

6.5.6.4 Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Starter / Generator

The APU starter / generator is located in the tail cone section of the airplane. The APU is designed to supply 28
VDC to the essential main and secondary DC buses on the ground.
A Contactor allows the connection of the APU starter / generator to the right main feeder bus for APU starting
and powering of the airplane DC buses. Its control is achieved from the APU GCU.
After the APU is started, the starter / generator is available to supply power in parallel with the batteries to start
the airplane engines.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.5-25

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

6.5.6.5 Fault Tolerant Operation

The DC Power subsystem is extremely tolerant to power source failures. It has 4 separate sources of DC
power in flight. They are the 2 generators and 2 TRUs. When all DC power sources are operational, each
source powers its own dedicated bus. When one or more source failures are detected, the EPCU will automat-
ically reconfigure the power flow.
The EPCU monitors the system for failures. Once a failure is detected, the EPCU will cause the bus system to
reconfigure and ensure mission completion with minimal effect for the EPGDS and for the utilization equipment
power supply.
4 bus tie contactors are controlled by the EPCU that connect the appropriate feeder buses together when there
are one or more inoperative DC power sources. The EPCU ensures operation of all DC buses with loss of up
to 2 power sources. Automatic load shedding will occur only after more than 2 DC source failures.
The 4 contactors connect the following feeder buses:
• L Main to R Main
• L Secondary to R Secondary
• L Main to L Secondary
• R Main to R Secondary
For example, if one DC generator fails, the L to R Main bus tie closes and the other generator then powers
both main feeder buses. If one TRU fails, the L to R secondary bus tie closes and the other TRU then powers
both secondary buses. If both DC generators fail, the vertical bus tie close and the TRUs supply DC power to
both the secondary and main buses. If both TRUs fail, the vertical bus tie close and the DC generators supply
power to both secondary buses.
The EPCU operates in emergency mode when:
• the airplane is in air and
• both DC Generators are not available and
• at least one TRU is not available
When the EPCU operates in emergency mode, it automatically disconnects the batteries from the main buses.
The main buses are not powered in this mode. In case of emergency operation the batteries are the main
energy sources for the airplane. If an engine start attempt is made during an emergency condition, the batter-
ies will automatically be reconnected to the main buses for the duration of the start attempt.

6.5.6.6 Bus Fault Protection

The EPCU and the DC GCUs protection function protects the DC subsystem against short circuits on the main
and secondary buses. The selectivity and protection coordination is ensured by the logic, detection and by
reaction timing in these units.

6.5.6.7 Main Bus Failures

If a main bus fault occurs, the EPCU prevents the upper horizonal and 2 vertical bus ties from closing, isolating
the bus. The DC BUS caution light comes on to warn of the fault impending condition.
If the fault persists after approximately 5 s, the EPCU sends a TRIP signal to the GCU, isolating the affected
generator. The EPCU will also open and lock-out the contactors connecting the batteries to the affected main
bus. The MAIN BATTERY or AUX and STBY BATTERY caution light(s) and related DC GEN caution light will
come on as a result. The EPCU continues to monitor the operating buses. All main DC services on the faulted
bus side will not function.

NOTE: Manual operation of the main bus tie through the MAIN BUS TIE switch is not possible once
the EPCU has reacted to a fault.

If the fault subsequently clears, power may be restored with the BUS FAULT RESET switch.

6.5.6.8 Secondary Bus Failures

In the case of a secondary bus short, the overcurrent condition will immediately trip the associated TRU pri-
mary circuit breaker. 7 s later, with the EPCU declaring TRU failed the contactor L to R Secondary bus tie will
close, transferring the short circuit to the opposite side TRU. At that moment, the cross tie fuse is blown isolat-

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

ing the fault. This is indicated by a L TRU or R TRU caution light and loss of services on the associated sec-
ondary bus.

6.5.6.9 Engine Starting

The starting process is initiated by selecting an engine position using the SELECT switch from the Engine Start
control panel. The starting process is initiated by depressing the START button. The power source (which
feeds the main buses for the supply of the starter/generator) for the starting process can be different. There-
fore, the availability of different power sources results in the following starting modes:
• Starting from batteries
• Generator assisted starting
• Starting from DC external power
• APU assisted starting
In all cases the BATTERY MASTER, MAIN BATT, AUX BATT, STBY BATT and MAIN BUS TIE switches are
selected on prior to start.

a) Starting from Batteries

Only the main and auxiliary batteries, in parallel, participate in the starting process. The standby battery is
diode isolated from to the left main, to ensure an acceptable level of voltage on the essential buses during
engine start.

NOTES: - Observe starter cranking limits.


- After an airplane NiCad battery start, the charge rate for fully serviceable batteries will
decrease after approximately 3 minutes.
- Battery temperatures and charging rates must be continuously monitored on the MFD Elec-
trical page, while charging.

b) Generator Assisted Starting

The generator assisted starting is usually performed, after the start up of an engine is finished (in any mode of
starting). After the right DC generator is connected to the right main bus, together, in parallel with the batteries,
will perform starting of the other engine.
During the start process and 15 s following it, the DC GCUs will be supplied with a ‘CURRENT LIMIT’ signal.
This will limit the current the opposite side generator will contribute to the starting and also to limit the current
the starter / generator (in generating mode) will supply to the loads.

c) Starting from DC External Power

A Ground Power Unit (GPU) can be connected to the DC external power receptacle (Figure 6.5-18) on the left
side of the forward fuselage. The GPU can supply DC power for the airplane EPGDS and for engine starting
(Figure 6.5-17). Contractors connecting the main and aux bateries to the main buses are closed automatically
upon selection of engine start, as the main and auxiliary batteries assist in the start. The standby battery is
diode isolated from the left main, to ensure an acceptable level of voltage on the ESS Busses during the start-
ing process.

When the starting process is terminated the power source is still the external power. While DC external power
is connected to the airplane, the generators connections to the main buses is inhibited by the EPCU. The main
and auxiliary batteries stay connected to the main buses and the standby battery is reconnected.

Once the DC EXT PWR switch is turned off after engine start, the generators will come on line if the GEN
switches are in the ON position. Both vertical bus ties connecting the main to the secondary buses will remain
closed until DC power is available from the TRUs.

The EPCU incorporates external DC power protection from too high or too low supply of external DC power
voltage. If the external voltage is more than 31+ 0.5 / - 0.75 VDC, or less than 22 ± 1 VDC, an over / under volt-
age condition will cause the external ground power to stop supplying electrical power to the airplane. If the
external power over / under voltage is rectified, the external power source can be reselected by moving the DC
EXT PWR switch to OFF and then to EXT PWR.

d) APU Assisted Starting

After the APU is started and APU CONTROL GEN is selected ON, the APU DC generator is available to sup-
ply power in parallel with the batteries to assist start the aircraft engines on the ground.

The APU GCU controls the APU line contactor to allow the connection of the APU DC generator to the right
main feeder bus (Figure 6.5-14).

After main engine DC generators are on-line, the APU will continue to supply power in parallel to the DC
buses.

6.5.7 AC System

The AC electrical schematic is shown in Figure 6.5-20.

Electrical power sources for the AC portion of the EPGDS include:


• 2 alternating current variable frequency generators
• AC External

The power sources supply power to the following buses in order of priority:
• Left or Right AC bus
• Left or Right Galley bus

During normal mode of operation, one AC source supplies its dedicated bus.

AC power is required for the following systems:


• De-icing / Anti-icing heaters
• Standby hydraulic pump
• Galley loads
• Transformer Rectifier Units (supplements DC power)
• Auxiliary fuel pumps

AOM DASH 8-Q400


6.5-32 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. 8] 13 SEP 2013 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

6.5.7.1 Variable Frequency AC Power

Two 115 V, 45 kVA AC generators (mounted on the propeller reduction gearbox) supply variable frequency
(340 to 560 Hz) AC power.

The AC power is supplied to the left and right AC buses.

AC power sources are prevented from being operated in parallel.

AC power is available once the condition levers are out of START & FEATHER in the MIN / 850 to MAX / 1020
range and the GEN 1 and GEN 2 switches on the AC CONTROL panel are on.

If one AC generator fails, the # 1 AC GEN or # 2 AC GEN caution light comes and the remaining generator is
capable of carrying the airplane’s AC electrical load except galley power.

An automatic cross tie function, controlled by the AC GCU logic circuits, ensures that all variable frequency
buses are powered when only one AC generator is on line.

Whenever a fault condition exists, the GCU of the inoperative generator issues a transfer request signal to the
operational side AC GCU.

The operational side AC GCU will issue a CLOSE command to the failed side line contactor.

In this configuration, the remaining generator will power both AC buses.

In this situation the load shedding relays will not allow power to the galley buses.

The AC generators are protected from bus faults by the GCUs that detect any excessive load that might result
from a short circuit on a bus.

Once a heavy load is detected, the GCU isolates the bus and turns on the appropriate L AC BUS or R AC BUS
caution lights.

The # 1 AC GEN HOT or # 2 AC GEN HOT caution lights come on whenever an AC generator overheats.

The AC generator must be switched off.

NOTE: All AC and DC airplane services can be operated from the AC generators or the AC external
power alone.

6.5.7.2 AC External Power

A GPU can be connected to the AC external power receptacle in the right engine nacelle (Figure 6.5-19) to
supply AC power to the airplane.
An EXT PWR switch on the overhead AC CONTROL panel (Figure 6.5-6) connects power directly to the left
and right variable frequency buses, supplying power to all AC and DC buses.
The External Power Protection Unit monitors the qualities of the incoming power.
The external power must be within acceptable limits, otherwise the external power is rejected.

AC External Power Receptacle - Forward Fuselage RHS


(Option - CR 824 SO 90105)
The AC external power receptacle is relocated in the right hand side forward fuselage.

CHAPTER 6 6.5-33

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. 14] 27 MAY 2015

6.5.8 External Power Protection

An External Power Protection Unit (AC PPU) is installed on the right ACCB to make sure the external ground
power is within specified limits before supplying power to the airplane busses.

The AC PPU monitors the following parameters:

• Under-voltage
• Over-voltage
• Under-frequency
• Over-frequency
• Phase Rotation (A-B-C)

6.5.9 Circuit Breakers (CB)

The EPGDS utilizes passive protections in the form of circuit breakers and current limiters.
Circuit breakers are protection devices that open the circuit in case of excess current flow.
Circuit breakers protect electrical system power sources, component control circuits and bus distribution.

Circuit breakers are located as follows:

• 4 flight compartment Circuit Breaker Panels:


− Left Upper CB Panel
− Left Lower CB Panel
− Right Upper CB Panel
− Right Lower CB Panel

• DC Contactor Box in the nose compartment

• AC Contactor Boxes in the left and right main landing gear wheel wells

• 2 wardrobe Circuit Breaker Panels

• relevant galleys Circuit Breaker Panels

Each circuit breaker is identified by the:

• CB Panel

• Identification Label

• Alphanumeric Location.

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. 5] 17 JUL 2012

6.6 (ATA 25) EQUIPMENT AND FURNISHINGS

6.6.1 Flight Compartment


The flight compartment provides seating for required crew and a flight observer.
Each crew member is provided with an individual air gasper, air conditioning grilles, console map light, dome
lights, reading light, loudspeaker, life vest, mircrophone, smoke goggles, oxygen mask and a place to stow a
chart case.
The observer is provided with a communications console, headset, oxygen mask and life vest.
All required safety equipment in the flight compartment is located within the reach of at least one crew member
and is readily accessible. The overhead escape hatch serves as an emergency exit.

6.6.1.1 Flight Crew Seats


The flight compartment crew seats are bucket type with adjustable fold up armrests. Each seat is adjustable
vertically, as well as fore and aft. The back rest can recline from 7° to 34° and has a 5 points seat belt.
There are 3 models ofered as follows:
• AMI Model 1407 (Standard Installation) (Figure 6.6-1)
• AMI Model 1414 (Option - CR 825 SO 90600 or 825 SO 90439) (Figure 6.6-2)
• AMI Model 1414 Heated (Option - CR 825 SO 90440) (Figure 6.6-3)
The Pilot and Co-pilot seats (Figure 6.6-2) are designed so that the seat pan and seat back cushions provide a
high degree of comfort and are contoured to provide the required support that pilots require during manoeuvres
and turbulence. The seat pans provide ample length to provide proper support for tall pilots and are equipped
with 2 positions thigh support adjustments (standard plus 2 increased high positions).
The thigh support adjustment knob is located so that it does not cause pilot irritation.
The seat pan has a slot in the middle to accommodate the control column and to allow the thigh supports to be
longer. The seat pan has a seat pan angle adjustment capability over a range from 6° to 18° from horizontal.
These optional upgraded seats provide an increase in comfort level and adjustment capability to allow a pilot to
sit in the seat continuously for an 8 to 10 h shift. The seats have a sheep-skin cover to maximize pilot comfort.
The seat accommodates a range of adjustment to suit a wide variety of pilots.
The seat has a full range of seating position adjustments standard on pilots seats including but not limited to
fore and aft adjustment, height adjustment and backrest angle adjustment which allows the pilot to be located
in the correct viewing position (using the sighting balls provide in the flight compartment).
Lateral adjustment of the seat position is not required.
An infinitely adjustable lumbar support is provide in the backrest with 2 in vertical and 1 in fore / aft motion.
The seat is equipped with a Flight Manual Stowage compartment located on the lower back portion of the seat.
A coat hook is mounted on the back of the seat.
An adjustable leather-covered headrest provides support and also covers the rebound head impact require-
ments from the 16 g dynamic testing.
Wide leather-covered arm-rests have firm and comfortable padding and have elbow height adjustment ranges
of approximately 2 in (half-inch increments) and an arm-rest angle adjustment to allow the pilot to adjust the
height of the forward end of the arm-rest. Also, the arm-rest has a fore and aft length adjustment of approxi-
mately 2 in to allow the pilot to position the end of the arm-rest relative to the control column.
The individual forward ends of the thigh supports have a thigh support break-away capability designed to allow
the pilot to apply full load on rudder peddles when required without resistance from the thigh supports, particu-
larly when the thigh supports and seat pan angle adjustments have the forward end of the seat in an up posi-
tion. The thigh support break-away varies the resistance of the break-away depending on the tight support
adjustment position.

6.6.1.2 Sun Visors


(Option - CR 825 SO 90142)
A complete sun visor system is installed in the flight compartment.
It consists of 2 panels made of polarized material, attached to the rail, which allows the panels to be placed in
the most suitable positions for the pilots. The panels can be locked at any required angle.

6.6.2.11 Active Noise and Vibration Control (ANVC) System

The ANVC reduces aircraft noise and vibrations.

The ANVC has:


• An active noise control unit
• Microphones
• Actuators
• Power amplifiers.

Microphones are installed throughout the cabin, overhead bins and interior trim panels.
Actuators located in the cabin are electro-mechanical vibrating devices that are attached to the fuselage
frames.
The ANVC control unit receives propeller frequency data from the propeller tachometer and additional noise
data is received from microphones in the cabin.
The control unit responds by moving the actuators at a frequency and force necessary to suppress propeller
noise.
The ANVC system does not respond to normal cabin sound such as conversation, music or PA announce-
ments.
The ANVC operates automatically.
The system is continuously self-monitoring and failure or partial failure will cause advisory lights on the forward
flight attendant's panel to come on.
The propeller noise and the anti-vibration from the actuators produce signals which cancel each other, giving a
quieter cabin.

1. Control Panel Operation:


• ON / OFF: self explanatory.
• PAUSE: pauses the system.
• NVS INOP: indicator light comes on when the system is inoperative.

2. Procedures:
• Inform PIC immediately if the NVS INOP lights illuminate.

6.6.2.13.8 Digital Taped Announcement / Music System

The Digital Passenger Announcement System (DPAS4) is located above the wardrobe.
It broadcasts announcements (in 1 to 4 languages) and music to passengers.
The number of announcements, musics and languages is limited only by the size of the memory card the Cus-
tomer has selected.

A) Front Panel

The front panel consists of:


• A 16 character liquid crystal display
• An ON key to turn the system on and off
• A STOP key to stop the broadcast of music or an announcement
• A PLAY key to begin the broadcast of music or an announcement
• Arrow keys to scroll upwards / downwards
• An A key (“announcement”) to enter the selection and broadcast menu of music or announcements
• An L / V key (“language”) and (“volume”) to enter the language selection menu and to adjust the volume
• A SEL key (“selection”) to select the language and music
• A green LED linked to the ON key indicating the status of the system (ON / OFF)
• A green LED linked to the PLAY key indicating that a broadcast is in progress.

B) Operation with Discretes

• Discretes wired to the 5 inputs of the PA system amplifier allow triggering of particular messages (e.g. seat
belt, no smoking, passenger call, crew call and emergency crew call).
If any message corresponding to a discrete is not in the memory card then no broadcast will be triggered for
that discrete.
• A “pause” discrete activated by a pilot’s or attendant’s announcement inhibits all other operations.
If a broadcast is already in progress it is stopped and the “PLAY” LED flashes slowly.
Once the “pause” discrete is inactivated the broadcast continues after the “PLAY” LED returns on.
The announcement restarts from the beginning in the language that was playing followed by the other lan-
guages and music picks up from where it was interrupted.

6.6.2.13.9 Passenger Entertaining System (PES) - Front Panel

Operation

Both in flight or on the ground, the operator may adjust the PES output volume and select up to 4 languages (of
those programmed into the flash memory PC card) in the desired order of message / announcement broad-
cast.

The selection is valid for all announcements and is stored so that language selection need not be made again
unless airplane scheduling and assignment requires such.

To access the language menu, the operator selects the L / V (Language / Volume) key and scrolls up and down
using the arrow keys.

Selection and cancellation of the choice of language is made by use of the SEL key.

The announcement (A) key returns the operator to the announcement selection and broadcast menu.

Pressing the L / V key twice if initiated from the list of announcements or once if initiated from the list of lan-
guages displays the volume adjustment menu.

System audio output is varied by use of the Up and Down arrow keys.

To broadcast an announcement, the operator must first scroll up and / or down through the title list to find the
desired selection.

The PLAY key is then selected and the green LED (lower left of panel) illuminates and will remain on for the
duration of the broadcast.

Music is broadcast continuously until the STOP key is pressed and may also be interrupted temporarily by
flight / cabin crew announcements or by discrete inputs from the ‘No Smoking’ and ‘Fasten Seat Belt’ annunci-
ations which can cause the generation of the applicable spoken announcement if so programmed in the PES.

Typically, the latter 2 announcements generate tones with the illumination of appropriate signs within the cabin.

The PES can be manually switched off by the operator if not required or in the event of an anomaly.

The unit can generate up to 99 announcements / messages and up to 40 music selections.

15 languages are supported where any 4 may be programmed at a given time.

The following paragraphs present more detailed descriptions of the various operating modes of the digital PES.

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. 16] 7 MAR 2016

1. Language Selection Mode


The language selection is applicable to all messages played by the operator and is accessed by pressing the
Language / Volume key (L / V).
If L / V is selected with no further keystroke activity on the PES front panel for 3 min, the system automatically
returns to the announcement selection and broadcast mode.
A language is identified by its title and a letter in the title, chosen at the manufacturer's facility and placed
between parentheses in the title [example: (E)NGLISH] or at the end of the title should the letter not be in the
title [example: GERMAN(D)].
In language selection mode, the languages stored in memory with their associated letters are displayed on the
screen instead of announcement titles, one language at a time.
Each subsequent return to language mode resumes with the display presented at the previous language mode
exit.
The operator scrolls through the list of languages and selects a language by use of the SEL key.
The languages must be selected in the preferred order of message broadcast, starting with the first language
to be broadcast. A language selection is cancelled by displaying it and pressing the SEL key.
If 4 languages have been chosen, one must be cancelled before another may be selected.
During playback of an announcement, the SEL key is inhibited for language selection.
The key is not, however, inhibited during music playback.

2. Announcement Selection and Broadcast Mode

Access into the announcement selection and broadcast mode is automatic after completion of Power-On Self-
Test (POST) or by selection of the announcement key (A) while the system is in:
- language selection mode;
- volume adjustment mode;
- music selection mode;
- diagnostic mode (except when TEST discrete is present).

This mode is used to broadcast announcements.


Individual announcement titles are displayed one at a time by using the Up and Down arrow keys to scroll
through the list of stored messages.
The selected announcement is broadcast by pressing the PLAY key on the front panel and may be interrupted
or terminated by pressing STOP key once.
An interrupted message resumes at the break-off point and follows the ordered schedule of broadcast lan-
guages.
Announcement titles comprise up to 10 characters.
To the right of the titles, 4 character spaces are reserved for display of actual languages selected.
The sequence of letters appears in the message broadcast order.
Broadcast of an announcement over the aircraft PACIS system is activated by the operator by pressing the
PLAY key or automatically via discretes controlled by other aircraft inputs (NO SMOKING, FASTEN SEAT
BELT).
During the announcement, the PLAY LED is illuminated and the Press-To-Talk discrete output is activated to
allow the Passenger Address Amplifier to receive, amplify and output the message over the cabin speakers.
The NO SMOKING and FASTEN SEAT BELT discrete inputs take priority over the manually-initiated
announcement as does the “PAUSE” discrete generated by PA announcements from the flight compartment or
cabin.
An announcement automatically resumes at the end of the interruption.
Announcements activated by discretes are not displayed in the message title list.
The input of the ground or 28 V DC discrete triggers the PTT output discrete, the actual announcement and the
illumination of the PLAY LED.
The message is broadcast sequentially in all languages with the default language selected if no languages
were chosen. The STOP key does not interrupt this type of message.
During broadcast, it is possible to scroll through the message list to prepare for the next announcement by use
of the Up and Down arrow keys.
Additional pressing of the PLAY key has no effect during announcement playback.
Prior to message playback, the system adds a 1 s interval to accommodate any system delays or in the event
of the operator selecting a wrong announcement.
Selection of the PLAY key has no effect if no languages have been programmed by the operator or unless
TEST ALL RECORD or MUSIC titles are being displayed.
The title TEST ALL RECORD broadcasts all messages stored in memory in all languages.
The title MUSIC provides the operator with the option of selecting from the list of music titles stored in memory.
The current music title is displayed to the right of the MUSIC legend.
If no particular music title is selected and PLAY selected, the system will select all music titles for playback
starting from the beginning of the music list and will display individual titles.
Pressing SEL will access music selection mode if initiated from the music title.
During music playback, selection of an announcement and pressing the PLAY key will interrupt the music and
broadcast the applicable message.
If no music is stored in memory, the MUSIC title will not appear in the announcements list.

3. Music Selection Mode

Access to Music Selection mode is achieved by pressing the SEL key when the MUSIC title is displayed, when
initiated from the Announcement Selection and Broadcast mode.

After 3 min of no additional front-panel keystrokes, the system automatically returns to the Announcement
Selection and Broadcast mode.
The list of music titles appears in alphabetical order and selection is made by scrolling through the list with the
Up and Down arrow keys followed by pressing the SEL key.
Each new musical selection is assigned a sequential number defining the play order.
Pressing the PLAY key plays all selected music or will play the music title displayed but not yet selected.
The PLAY LED will illuminate and the PTT discrete will be asserted, thereby enabling the PA amplifier PES
channel.
Musical selections are played sequentially and automatically resume from the beginning once the end of the
selected program is reached.
Pressing STOP interrupts playback and re-selecting PLAY causes the system to continue from the point of
interruption.
No music is selected at system start-up.

6.6.2.16.1.1 Forward Lavatory Water System


[Option - CR 825 SO 90135, CR 825 SO 001212]
The Lavatory Water System is filled from the ground service panel located on the RHS of the fuselage between
stations X - 39.00 and X - 19.70.
Rotating the fill valve 90° clockwise to the FILL position opens the fill valve.
Pressurized Potable Water, not exceeding 40 psig 20 gal/min, should be filled using the fill port.
Water coming out of the drain mast indicates that the system is full.
The ground service fill line should be disconnected and the T-handle rotated 90° counter-clockwise back to its
vertical position to close the fill valve.
Any water flowing back through the fill port should be allowed to drain before restoring the T-handle to its verti-
cal position.
If aircraft or ground AC and DC power are “ON”, water contained in the heater vessel assembly will warm up to
34°C. Depressing the faucet will trigger a switch to run the pump.
The pump will continue to deliver water at 0.32 gal/min as long as the faucet is depressed.
When the water level is low in the main tank, the tank mounted low level switch cuts power from the pump and
heater vessel assembly and sends a signal to light the “LOW WATER” amber light contained on the electrical
control box.
The system must be drained at the completion of the last daily flight, if outside broadcast temperature falls
below sub-zero temperature or if the aircraft is not powered by AC ground power for cold weather mainte-
nance.
The system can only be drained from the ground service panel located on the RHS of the fuselage between
stations X - 39.00 and X - 19.70.
To open the drain valve the T-handle must be pulled by 0.71 in and rotated 90° counter-clockwise.
Water should come gushing out of the drain mast.
The T-handle must be rotated back 90° clockwise and stowed in a vertical position when drainage is complete.
To prevent flash freeze of water during filling cycle, all components must be heated prior to filling water after
the aircraft has been parked for an extended period of time in freezing conditions.
Thawing of components is achieved by powering the AC bus by either ground or aircraft AC power.
Typical warm-up time is between 30 to 45 min.

6.6.2.17.1.3.2 Potable Water System


[Option - CR 825 CH 01386]

The Galley Water System (Figure 6.6-33) is filled from the ground service panel located on the RHS of the
fuselage between stations X 629.83 and X 640.85.
Pressurized Potable Water, not exceeding 40 psig, 20 gal/min, should be filled using the fill port.
Water coming out of the drain mast indicates that the system is full.
The ground service fill line should be disconnected.
With aircraft power or ground DC power “ON”, the pump must be primed by depressing the PUMP START
push button located on the flight attendant galley control panel above the spigot assembly.
A relay contained in the momentary switch will energize for 5 s and allow the pump to be primed.
PUMP START “ON” will light on for the duration of the 5 s priming.
If during normal operation the pump stalls (i.e. no water exiting at spigots with the tank full) this switch should
be used to re-instate the pump to a primed state.
Once primed, the pump will maintain system pressure by compensating for any pressure loss.
With aircraft or ground AC power “ON”, depressing the boiler “ON / OFF” switch on the FA control panel will
start warm-up of water in the boiler.
Within 6 min, the green “READY” light will come “ON” indicating 91°C water temperature in the boiler.
Opening either of the 2 hot spigots or the cold spigot will create a pressure drop in the system, which the pump
instantaneously compensates for by drawing water from the main tank.
Water from either of the 2 spigots should flow at an average of 1.2 gal/min and from the cold spigot at
0.28 gal/min.
Hot water from the 2 hot spigots must be captured in a container, whereas water form the cold spigot runs
directly into the sink.
Care should be taken not to come into contact with the 2 hot spigots during boiler operation.
A “LOW WATER” light on the FA control panel indicates low water content in the boiler.
The system must be drained at the completion of the last daily flight, if outside broadcast temperature falls
below sub-zero or if the aircraft is not powered by AC ground power for cold weather maintenance.
The system can only be drained from the ground service panel located on the RHS of the fuselage between
stations X 629.83 and X 640.85.
To open the drain valve the T-handle must be pulled all the way out (by about 1.80 cm) and rotated 90° (± 5°)
counter-clockwise.
Water should come gushing out of the drain mast.
The (hot and cold) spigots must be opened during drainage to allow complete drainage of the system.
All spigots must be closed and the T-handle must be rotated back 90° clockwise and stowed in a vertical posi-
tion when drainage is complete.
The sink must be drained via the sink drain handle at the end of the daily flight.
To prevent flash freeze of water during filling cycle, all components must be heated prior to filling water after
the aircraft has been parked for an extended period of time in freezing conditions.
Thawing of components is achieved by powering the AC bus line by either ground or aircraft AC power.
Typical warm-up time is between 30 - 45 min.

6.6.2.19 Water and Waste System

General

The optional water and waste system has 2 tanks located under the floor, with tubes to the lavatory wash basin
and the large aft galley.

The system is pressurized by bleed air of an engine, the APU (if installed) or a ground air unit.

Either one of these must be in operation to operate the water system.

External filling is done at the water service panel on the right side of the forward fuselage.

Water level indicators are installed on the service panel and on the galley panel.

They show the remaining water level during flight or after filling.

The tanks and supply lines are heated to prevent freezing.

The toilet is serviced from an external service panel.

NOTE: If the airplane is parked in freezing temperatures, the water system must be drained or a
ground power unit must be connected (with EXT PWR selected to ON).

The drain point at the forward service panel will drain the whole system within a time of 20 min.

6.6.2.19.1 External AC Power


Anti-freeze Protection System G1 Galley and Forward Lavatory
[Option - CR 825 CH 00003]

General

This option provides freeze protection for the Warm Water Wash System and G1 Galley Water System from an
AC Ground Cart, thus allowing the aircraft to remain outside overnight to a minimum temperature of - 30°C
without draining the water.

This is achieved by providing a single-phase (Ph A) 115 V AC 400 Hz power source from the AC Ground Cart
to an AC Ground Service Bus, which is tapped off of the feeder cables running from the AC External Power
Receptacle to the RHS AC Contactor Box (Figure 6.6-47).

The ground service bus is located under the center aisle floor and includes circuit breakers for the power feeds
to the various users of the ground service power.

A switch located adjacent to the AC External Power Receptacle is available to select the ground service power
ON or OFF.

Functional Description

Connection of 115 V AC from the AC Ground Cart onto the service bus is achieved without the need of having
to power up the entire aircraft.

With the ground cart connected to the AC External Power Receptacle, the selection of the AC GND SER-
VICES SW to ON will apply 24 V DC from the Battery Bus to interlock pin F on the AC receptacle.

This allows the ground cart to close its output contactor and apply 115 V AC onto the service bus.

Conversely, interlock pin E on the AC receptacle will now provide 28 V DC from the ground cart.

6.6.3 Baggage Compartments

6.6.3.1 Forward Baggage Compartment


[Option - CR 825 CH 01340, CR 825 SO 90311]

The forward baggage compartment is Class C (Figure 6.6-48).

In the baseline interior configuration, the forward baggage compartment has a volume of approximately
2.58 m3 (91 ft3).
It has a volume of approximately 1.44 m3 (51 ft3) with the G6 galley installed.

The maximum mass (weight) capacity of the forward baggage compartment is 413 kg (910 lb) for the standard
configuration and 231 kg (510 lb) with the G6 galley installed, to maintain the center of gravity within limits.

The maximum floor load capacity in the forward baggage compartment is 610 kg/m² (125.0 lb/ft²) floors

The forward baggage compartment is accessible through an internal door (in the cabin bulkhead) and through
an external door, located on the RHS of the aircraft.

In order to maintain the integrity of this compartment as Class C, the internal door is required to be closed dur-
ing taxi, take-off, flight and landing.
To assure the flight crew that the door is closed and secured, there is an indicator light located on the Caution /
Warning Panel, which warns of an unlatched condition i.e.
– “INTERNAL BAGG DOOR” - [with BASIC Configuration (standard, 74 passengers)]

The light is operated through a micro-switch in the door frame.


Should this indicator fail, a key lock within the door latch, to prevent access without the crew being aware may
manually secure the door.

The door is double latched with latch mechanisms similar to the flight compartment door latch.
The baggage door lock shares the same key as the flight compartment.

The forward baggage compartment is provided with a lamp, a smoke detector, a built-in fire extinguishing sys-
tem and FIREX nozzles.
The lamp, the smoke detector and the nozzles are protected from damage by metal grilles.

The aft baggage compartment has a volume of approximately 11.63 m3 (411 ft3).
It has a volume of approximately 10.33 m3 (365 ft3) with the G3 galley installed.

This area, (behind the aft bulkhead of the passenger cabin), is used for baggage and / or cargo and is divided
into 2 sections that are called Compartment 1 (COMP 1) and Compartment 2 (COMP 2).
COMP 1 is located forward of the step and COMP 2 is located aft of the step.

With the center of gravity in limits, the maximum mass (weight) capacity of the aft lower baggage COMP 1
ranges from 1134 kg (2500 lb) to 1724 kg (3800 lb), depending upon the galley and passenger seating config-
uration.
The maximum mass (weight) capacity of the aft upper baggage COMP 2 is 454 kg (1000 lb).

The floor from the aft bulkhead / G3 galley to the step (COMP 1) has a design load capacity of 610.0 kg/m2
(125 lb/ft2).
The floor aft of the step (COMP 2) has a design load capacity of 366 kg/m2 (75 lb/ft2).

15 baggage tie-down rings 907 kg (2000 lb) are installed in the aft baggage compartment.
7 tie-down rings are installed in COMP 1 (4 on the floor level and 3 above the floor level) and
8 are installed in COMP 2 (2 on the floor level and 6 above the floor level).

The aft bulkhead / G3 galley serves as a divider between the passenger compartment and the aft baggage
compartment and has a service access panel on the aft face of G3 galley and decompression blow out panel
on the LHS of the aft baggage bulkhead; the latter protected by grilles.
This bulkhead is designed to restrain up to 1708 kg (3500 lb) of loose baggage.
A large label indicating the loading limit and load distribution is affixed to the face of the baggage compartment
bulkhead on the LHS.

Additionally, there is a threshold panel installed against the external door of the aft baggage compartment and
designed to protect the sill area from damage during cargo loading.
The threshold panel is provided with a partial cargo net, which is fastened to the door opening, using 2 clips on
each side of the door.

The net restrains baggage from falling out when the external door is opened, after flight, where bags may have
shifted against the door.

The aft baggage compartment is provided with 2 lamps, a smoke detector, a built-in fire extinguishing system

6.6.3.3 Cargo Compartment


[Option - CR 825 CH 03262, CR 825 CH 00161]

The cargo compartment is Class C (Figure 6.6-50).

In the extended cargo configuration, the mass (weight), comprising of assengers, carry-ons and seats, is being
traded for cargo, by moving the rear baggage bulkhead to a more forward position (X 586.0) using similar
structure and attachment methodology.

The cargo compartment has a maximum volume of 23.45 m3 (828 ft3).

The baggage and / or cargo area is divided into 4 sections, that are called Compartment 1, 2, 3 and 4
(COMP 1, 2, 3 and 4).
COMP 1 is located forward of the step and COMP 2 is located aft of the step (similar with BASIC Configura-
tion), while COMP 3 and 4 are located forward, in the new created space.

With the center of gravity within limits, the maximum mass (weight) capacities are:
- COMP 1 = 1134 kg (2500 lb)
- COMP 2 = 454 kg (1000 lb)
- COMP 3 = 862 kg (1900 lb)
- COMP 4 = 816 kg (1800 lb)

NOTE: COMP 1 and 2 cannot be loaded to their individual maximum loads at the same time.
Their combined total is 1134 kg (2500 lb).

The cargo floor has a design load capacity as follows:


- COMP 1, 3 and 4 = 610.0 kg/m2 (125 lb/ft2)
- COMP 2 = 366 kg/m2 (75 lb/ft2).

NOTE: The floor panel loading limits are for the durability of the floor panels only.
A maximum running load limitation of 594 kg (400 lb/ft) run, equivalent to 293 kg/m2 (60 lb/ft2)
applies.

A total of 33 tie-down rings are installed to secure cargo in the cargo compartment.
All 24 seat track tie-down rings may be installed in any seat track location, providing that a minimum spacing of
0.56 m (22 in) be maintained.
- COMP 1 → 6 floor mounted tie-down rings and 1 side wall mounted tie-down ring.
- COMP 2 → 6 tie-down rings mounted on the fuselage side walls and 2 tie-down rings mounted at floor level
on the aft bulkhead.
- COMP 3 → 12 floor mounted tie-down rings.
- COMP 4 → 6 floor mounted tie-down rings.

The forward bulkhead serves as a divider between the passenger compartment and the cargo compartment.
It incorporates a service access panel on the RHS aft face and a decompression blow out panel protected by
grilles, on the LHS.
4 ventilation valves (2 inlet & 2 outlet) let air flow into and out of the cargo compartment. If smoke is detected
by the smoke detectors, all ventilation valves close automatically.
A large label, indicating the loading limits and load distribution, is affixed to the RHS sidewall of the cargo com-
partment.

The cargo door is unchanged and has all design specifications identical with the BASIC Configuration door.

The cargo compartment is provided with 4 Lamps, 4 Smoke Detectors evenly distributed, 6 Halon discharge
Nozzles and a built-in Fire Extinguishing system i.e.1 HRD Halon Bottle 8.8 L (536 in3) - 8.2 kg (18 lb) and 2
LRD Halon Bottles 8.8 L (536 in3) - 9.9 kg (21.8 lb) each.
The lamps, smoke detectors and nozzles are protected from damage by metal grilles.

[Option - CR 825 CH 03454]

The cargo net layout (Figure 6.6-45) is as follows:

- at X 701.0 - 9 g Spider Net is installed [required], designed to handle a 1134 kg (2500 lb) load.

- at X 646.0 - 3 g Spider Net is installed [optional, organization], designed to handle a 771 kg (1700 lb) load.

NOTE: Bulk cargo, items exceeding 32 kg (70 lb) must be restrained to prevent shifting.

The 9 g spider net must be secured to all 12 attachment points.

It attaches to 2 outboard seat rails, 2 inboard seat rails and to fuselage support fittings in 8 locations (stringers).

When installing, ensure the net is not twisted at any attachment point.

An optional baggage divider nets organization system can be installed on the upper step COMP 2 to divide it
into 2 separate sections.

The nets are supported by removable telescopic posts which are held in position by pins.

One side of each net is permanently fixed, while the other side is equipped with quick-release clips for quick
removal / attachment of the nets.

A door net restraint is installed to prevent baggage from falling out when the external door is opened, after
flight, where bags may have shifted against the door.

6.7.4 Fire Protection - Description

The airplane fire detection system (Figure 6.7-9) is designed to sense fire, smoke and overheat conditions for
engine fire zones, nacelle, aft and forward baggage compartments and lavatory.

When any one of these conditions is sensed, the system will supply a visual and aural warning to the flight
compartment or a visual alert to all cabin repeater lights and an audible chime through the PA system.

CHAPTER 6 6.7-19

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. 16] 7 MAR 2016

6.7.5 Nacelle - Advanced Pneumatic Detectors (APD)

Advanced Pneumatic Detectors (APDs) or fire detection loops (Figure 6.7-9), give fire and overheat detection
in the Main Wheel Well (MWW) zone, Leading Edge Zone (LEZ) and Primary Engine Zone (PEZ).
The APDs supply fault indications to the Fire Protection Panel.
3 APDs are located in each nacelle (Figure 6.7-10).
The nacelle fire detection system has one APD located in the Primary Engine Zone (PEZ), one located around
the Propeller Electronic Control (PEC) and one extends around the Main Wheel Well (MWW) zone.
A fire or overheat condition in the nacelles is shown on the fire protection panel.
The APDs in the engine nacelles, use sensor tubes filled with helium gas to monitor for fires.
The helium gas is sensitive to changes in temperature.
The fault and alarms signals are given by 2 switches, the integrity switch and the alarm switch.
The alarm signals are processed by the control amplifier then sent to the fire protection panel.
The integrity switch monitors the pressure of the sensor element.
If an APD breaks, the loss of pressure in the sensor will turn on the FAULT A or FAULT B light on the fire pro-
tection panel.
The alarm switch is normally open and closes when an overheat or fire condition occurs, caused by the pres-
sure increase in the APD.

6.7.6 Control Amplifier

The fire protection system control amplifier performs the following:


• Detection and extinguishing monitoring
• Built In Tests (BIT) functions
• Turns on advisory lights on the Fire Protection Panel
• Turns on CHECK FIRE DET warning light on the Caution and Warning panel
• Sounds the fire tone [optional].
During the fire detection test, the control amplifier is also tested.
Loss of the control amplifier, will not cause complete loss of engine detection or extinguishing capability.

6.7.7 Fire Bottles

2 dual port FIRE bottles are installed FWD and AFT in the left wing root, for engine fire extinguishing.
Each bottle is connected in a configuration that allows for 2 shots of suppressant into an engine nacelle, in the
event the first shot is not effective.
A BTL LOW amber advisory light on the fire protection panel, turns on when a fire bottle is empty or the pres-
sure is low.
The Control Amplifier constantly monitors bottle pressure.
Fire suppressant is discharged into the right or left PEZ, LEZ and MWW zone.
Electrical connections are installed for both explosive squibs and the bottle monitor pressure switch.
The PULL FUEL / HYD OFF handle test will show which bottle needs service, the arming light for that bottle
will not come on if it needs to be replenished.

6.7-20 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. 16] 7 MAR 2016 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

6.7.8 Engine - Fire Protection

6.7.8.1 Fire Detection

When a fire overheat condition occurs, the alarm signals are processed by the Control Amplifier then sent to
the Fire Protection Panel in the flight compartment.
If a fire or overheat condition occurs in either engine, this will cause the gas within the APD to expand and turn
on the following lights in the flight compartment:
• Applicable PULL FUEL / HYD OFF T-handle light (red) comes on
• Both ENGINE FIRE warnings PRESS TO RESET lights (red) flash
• CHECK FIRE DET warning light (red) flashes
• Fire tone [optional]
Either ENGINE FIRE PRESS TO RESET indicator is pushed to turn the audible tone [optional] warning off and
/ or cancel the flashing engine fire lights.
The ENGINE FIRE PRESS TO RESET stay on steady for the duration of the alarm condition.

6.7.8.2 Fire Extinguishing

The forward and aft bottle squibs are armed by pulling the PULL FUEL / HYD OFF handle.
After arming, the extinguisher bottle is discharged by selecting the EXTG switch on the fire protection panel to
FWD or AFT position.
An electrical signal is sent which ignites the Electro-Explosive Device (EED).
When the EED explodes it ruptures a burst disc and the pressurized bottle then discharges the suppressant
into the engine zones.

6.7.9 Baggage Compartments - Smoke Detection and Fire Extinguishing

Fire extinguishing for the baggage compartments is performed by 2 High Rate (HR) fire extinguisher bottles
and 1 Low Rate (LR) fire extinguisher bottle.
Each baggage compartment has 1 high rate fire extinguisher bottle.
The Low Rate fire extinguisher bottle is shared between the FWD and AFT baggage compartments, but is
located in the AFT equipment bay (rear fuselage).

6.7.9.1 Aft Baggage Compartment

6.7.9.1.1 Smoke Detection

The aft baggage compartment has 2 Smoke Detectors.


1 smoke detector is located in the rear and 1 in the front of the baggage compartment.
If smoke is sensed by one or both of the smoke detectors it produces an alarm signal.
This causes the following lights on the fire protection panel to turn on:
• FIRE BOTTLE – AFT ARM light (amber) turns on
• BAGGAGE AFT – SMOKE / EXTG switchlight turns on
The alarm will signal the control amplifier to operate relay contacts to remove power from the inlet and outlet
vent valves causing them to close. This closes the airflow in the aft baggage compartment.
The INLT and OTLT valve CLOSED lights will come on and the AFT bottle ARM light will turn on.

6.7.9.1.2 Fire Extinguishing

Pushing the SMOKE / EXTG switchlight activates the High Rate fire extinguisher bottle into the aft baggage
area. The AFT ARM light will go out and the AFT LOW light turn on.

6.7.9.2 Forward Baggage Compartment

6.7.9.2.1 Smoke Detection

The forward baggage compartment has 1 Smoke Detector.


When smoke is sensed, the smoke detector produces an alarm signal.
This causes the following lights on the FIRE PROTECTION panel to turn on:
• FIRE BOTTLE - FWD ARM light (amber) turns on
• BAGGAGE FWD - SMOKE / EXTG switchlight turns on

6.7.9.2.2 Fire Extinguishing

A High Rate fire extinguisher is installed in the forward baggage compartment.


Pushing the SMOKE / EXTG switchlight activates the High Rate fire extinguisher bottle into the forward bag-
gage area. The Low Rate fire extinguisher bottle will discharge at the same time.
The FIRE BOTTLE FWD ARM light will go out immediately and the FWD LOW light will turn on immediately
(loss of bottle pressure). The AFT LOW light will turn on when the LRD bottle has depleted.

6.7.9.3 Cargo Compartment


[Option - CR 825 CH 03262]

6.7.9.3.1 Smoke Detection


The cargo compartment has 4 Smoke Detectors evenly distributed along the cargo ceiling centre line.
If smoke is sensed by at least one of the smoke detectors, it produces an alarm signal.
This causes the following lights on the fire protection panel to illuminate:
• SMOKE switchlight segment (red)
• EXTG switchlight segment (white)
• FIRE BOTTLE - HRD / LRD2 ARM light (amber)
• FIRE BOTTLE - LRD1 ARM light (amber)
The alarm will signal the control amplifier to operate relay contacts to remove power from the 2 inlet and 2 out-
let vent valves causing them to close.
This closes the airflow in the cargo compartment. Subsequently the following lights will illuminate:
• VENT VALVE INLT 1 and 2 CLOSED lights (white)
• VENT VALVE OTLT 1 and 2 CLOSED lights (white)
• FIRE BOTTLE - HRD LOW light (amber)
• FIRE BOTTLE - LRD1 LOW light (amber)
• FIRE BOTTLE - LRD2 LOW light (amber)

6.7.9.3.2 Fire Extinguishing

The Halon extinguishant from 1 HRD bottle and 2 LRD bottles is supplied into the cargo area through 6 dis-
charge nozzles.
Pushing the SMOKE / EXTG switchlight discharges HRD & LRD1 bottles first, followed by LRD2 after 7 min,
automatically.
LRD1 ARM light shall go out. After about 7 min, HRD / LRD2 ARM light shall go out.
The LOW lights will illuminate when the HRD and LRD bottles have been depleted, as follows:
• HRD LOW light shall illuminate
• After approximately 3 h, LRD1 LOW light shall illuminate
• After approximately 3 h, LRD2 LOW light shall illuminate

6.7.10 Lavatory - Fire Protection

6.7.10.1 Smoke Detection

The lavatory compartment is protected by a single smoke detector located in the lavatory (Figure 6.7-11).
A lavatory smoke alarm produces an indication on all cabin repeater lights, the smoke detector Light Emitting
Diode (LED) and its audio alert.
An audible chime is also produced through the PA system.
There is no indication of the lavatory smoke in the flight compartment.

If the lavatory smoke alarm is activated by smoke, the alarm can be canceled and the smoke detector reset by
pushing the:
- Interrupt Push Button - [with MS 4-903107 Not Incorporated], or
- Horn Cancel Switch - [with MS 4-903107 Incorporated]

6.7.10.1.1 Smoke Detector Test

The lavatory smoke detector is tested by operating a Self-Test Switch on the unit.
During self-test activation, all cabin repeater lights will turn on and an audible single chime will be heard
through the PA system.
A red LED on the smoke detector will turn on.
Failure of the smoke detector unit, will cause no response during the self-test command.

6.7.10.2 Fire Extinguishing

The lavatory compartment waste bin is protected by a single thermally activated fire extinguisher with no elec-
trical interface (Figure 6.7-11).
The Potty Bottle is charged with 0.113 kg (0.25 lb) of agent to a pressure of 186 kPa (27 psi) and has dual dis-
charge outlets.

When a fire occurs in the lavatory compartment waste bin, the temperature of the end caps on the container
increases to a set point 79°C (174°F).
This causes the fusible seals to melt and release the end caps from the discharge tubes.
The extinguishing agent is then released and discharged into the bin.

HALON 1301 or non-Halon FM-200 (HFC-227ea, heptafluoropropane) extinguishing agents are used to
charge the Fire Extinguisher FE-227 in the lavatory.

4 hand-operated Fire Extinguishers containing 1.4 kg (3.0 lb) of HALON 1211 are provided.
1 is located in the flight compartment and 3 are in the passenger compartment.
A gauge on each extinguisher indicates the serviceable range (green), overcharge range (yellow) and
recharge range (red).
HALON 1211 is effective on electrical, oil and fuel fires.
The extinguishant is not corrosive or toxic and will not freeze or cause cold burns.
A red safety catch prevents accidental trigger movement and discharge.

WARNING: If a fire extinguisher is to be discharged in the flight compartment, all crew


members must wear their oxygen masks, with the EMERGENCY position selected
(100% oxygen at a positive pressure).

Installation of Non-Halon Fire Extinguishers


[Option - CR 825 CH 03666]

3 compact and portable Fire Extinguishers FE-05S with agent (HFC-236fa) capacity of 2.2 kg (4.75 lb),
rechargeable with hose and pressure gauge are stowed as follows:
- 1 is located in the flight compartment, mounted on the bulkhead behind the left pilot's seat
- 2 are in the passenger compartment, located in the Forward Draft Bulkhead and in one of the Equipment
Drawers (Dog House) behind the aft seat row.

HFC-236fa is a colorless, odorless, electrically non-conductive agent which discharges as a liquid and flashes
to a gas, providing an increased effective fire-fighting range. HFC-236fa will not cause thermal shock damage
to delicate electronic equipment.

HFC-236fa is a ‘‘clean’’ agent with no impact on Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP = 0), with a ‘moderate’ influ-
ence on Global Warning Potential (GWP), which has a ‘moderate’ Atmosferic Lifetime.

FE-05S is effective in fighting fires of Class B (gasoline, oil, paint, flamable liquids) and Class C (electrical).

6.8 (ATA 27) FLIGHT CONTROLS

6.8.1 Introduction

The primary flight controls consist of rudder, elevators and ailerons to provide yaw, pitch and roll respectively.
Spoilers assist the ailerons for roll control.

The secondary flight controls consist of flaps.

6.8.2 General

All flight controls may be operated from either the pilot’s or co-pilot’s seat. The ailerons and spoilers provide roll
control, elevators pitch control and rudder yaw control (Figure 6.8-1). Elevators, spoilers and rudder are
hydraulically powered and designated the Powered Flight Control Surfaces (PFCS). A gust lock system is pro-
vided for the aileron controls to protect the aileron surfaces from damage due to strong wind gusts.

Spoilers have 2 functions:


• To assist the ailerons in providing roll control.
• To provide lift dump after the airplane touches down.

PFCS positions are shown on the pilot’s Multi-Function Display (MFD) in the Permanent Systems Data Area
(PSDA) of the display. This PFCS positions are transmitted to the MFD from the control surfaces through the
Integrated Flight Cabinet (IFC). Trim indicators show trim position of the flight controls. Caution lights, provide
indications of flight control malfunctions while advisory lights indicate system operation.

CHAPTER 6 6.8-19

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

6.8.4 Primary Flight Controls

6.8.4.1 Yaw Control

Yaw control is provided by a hydraulically powered rudder surface (Figure 6.8-1). The rudder is controlled
through displacement of either pilot’s rudder pedals. The pilot's and co-pilot's rudder pedals are connected to
each other through an interconnect rod. A mechanical feel and trim unit, provides simulated aerodynamic
forces at the rudder pedals during flight. A yaw damper operates through the feel and trim system to improve
directional control. Yaw damper is always engaged when autopilot is engaged.

Rudder Control System

The rudder control system (Figure 6.8-18) provides directional control of the airplane. The rudder consists of 2
sections, the fore rudder and trailing rudder.

The fore rudder is attached to the vertical stabilizer and operated by 2 Power Control Units (PCUs). The PCUs
are installed one above the other in the vertical stabilizer. The # 1 hydraulic system powers the lower PCU and
# 2 hydraulic system powers the upper PCU. Moving the rudder pedals operates both PCUs. If either hydraulic
system fails, the remaining PCU provides rudder control.

The trailing rudder is attached to the fore rudder by push rods and deflects mechanically with movement of the
fore rudder. The trailing rudder deflects twice as far as the fore rudder.

A rudder input restrictor mechanism, limits rudder pedal travel with flap selector lever operation. The flap selec-
tor lever is mechanically linked to the co-pilot's rudder forward quadrant. With 0° flap selected, pushing either
rudder pedal to the stops, deflects the fore rudder surface 12° left or right of centre. With flaps selected to 5° or
greater, pushing either rudder pedal to the stops, deflects the fore rudder 18° left or right of centre.

Hydraulic pressure supplied to both PCUs is regulated by the Flight Control Electronic Control Unit (FCECU)
as airspeeds vary. Rudder authority is limited as a function of airspeed to reduce excessive yaw rate. As air-
speed increases, FCECU reduces the hydraulic pressure available to the PCUs. Inputs from either pilot’s rud-
der pedals causes less rudder deflection. The FCECU gets airspeed information from the Air Data Units
(ADUs).

Rudder pedal adjustments (Figure 6.8-4) are provided for both sets of rudder pedals. A cable connecting the
pilot's and co-pilot's brake pedals, allows for operation of the brake system from either pilot's position.

Rudder Jam

If a jam occurs in a rudder PCU, the corresponding RUD 1 or RUD 2 PUSH OFF switchlight turns on. The illu-
minated RUD 1 or RUD 2 switchlight must then be pushed to depressurize the affected PCU. The PUSH leg-
end will go out and the OFF legend will remain on as a reminder that the switchlight has been pushed OFF.
The # 1 RUD HYD or # 2 RUD HYD caution light will turn on as the PCU is depressurized. The FCECU will
reschedule the regulated hydraulic pressure to the operative PCU to maintain the required rudder authority.

As directed by paragraph “Rudder Actuator Malfunction” of the AFM - “Abnormal Procedures”, only one RUD
PUSH OFF switchlight shall be pushed at a time. If both RUD 1 and RUD 2 PUSH OFF switchlights are
pressed inadvertently, the OFF legend will go out, both RUD 1 and RUD 2 PUSH legends will turn on and the
previously depressurized PCU will be re-pressurized. This ensures the rudder control system remains pow-
ered. Pushing the non-jammed switchlight again turns out both PUSH legends, de-pressurizes the jammed
PCU and turns on the appropriate OFF legend on the jammed side. If instead the jammed side switch is
pushed, the jammed side RUD PUSH OFF light will turn on while the non-jammed side will be depressurized
and its corresponding OFF legend will turn on.

When the aircraft is parked on the ground with engines not running, one or both RUD 1 and RUD 2 PUSH OFF
switchlights may be illuminated under conditions of strong tailwinds. This is a result of the rudder PCU bungees
being compressed when the rudder is moved to one side under the influence of the wind. As soon as hydraulic
pressure is available to the PCU following engine start, the rudder will center and the RUD PUSH OFF switch-
lights will go out.

Rudder Feel Trim And Summing Unit

The rudder feel trim and summing unit, provides artificial feed-back forces on the rudder pedals. This simulates
aerodynamic forces from the rudder control surfaces during flight.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


6.8-20 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

Inputs from the rudder pedals and yaw damper are applied to the summing unit. The unit sums the inputs and
then transmits the resultant command as a single input to the rudder PCUs.

Rudder Trim

Rudder trim is accomplished by a RUDDER trim control knob located on the centre console. Turning the knob,
operates an electrical trim (Figure 6.8-18) actuator which supplies trim signals to reposition the rudder neutral
point of feel unit and hence, Rudder System neutral. The amount of rudder trim is shown on the RUDDER trim
indicator.

Turning the RUDDER trim control knob fully to the second graduation, produces a fast trim rate. When the con-
trol knob is turned left or right to the first graduation line, this produces a slower trim rate. The trimming system
is electrically powered from the Left Essential bus through 2 circuit breakers:

• RUD TRIM ACT – F7 for the trim actuator


• RUD TRIM IND – G7 for the RUDDER trim indicator.

Rudder Trim Indication

An integral Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) monitors the trim actuator position and shows it on
the RUDDER trim indicator. If the trim signal fails, the trim actuator remains functional but an off-scale deflec-
tion is shown on the RUDDER trim indicator. Rudder position can be monitored on the pilot’s MFD. When the
yaw damper is engaged, rudder damping is accomplished by the yaw damper, which receives input signals
from the Auto Flight Control System (AFCS).

Yaw Damper

The yaw damper is an actuator that supplies automatic compensation for minor yaw acceleration during flight.
It also improves directional stability and turn coordination. Yaw damper authority is 4.5° maximum of rudder
deflection either side of centre. The yaw damper gets its inputs from Flight Guidance Modules # 1 and # 2 and
needs both inputs for operation.

6.8.4.2 Roll Control

Roll control is provided by ailerons assisted by flight spoilers. The aileron control system (Figure 6.8-19) and
flight spoiler control system are 2 independent systems. Both systems are mechanically interconnected to
allow simultaneous operation for normal roll control. The Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) provides
input commands to the roll control system.

• Each wing has one aileron and 2 flight spoilers


• The pilot’s control column controls the flight spoilers
• The co-pilot’s control column controls the ailerons
• Ailerons are mechanically controlled and cable operated
• Flight spoilers are mechanically controlled and hydraulically powered
If a roll control jam occurs, the spoiler control system can be separated from the aileron control system. The
pilot with the unjammed control column will have roll control.

Ailerons

An aileron is located on the outboard trailing edge of each wing (Figure 6.8-1). Rotating the control columns
70° left or right of centre, deflects the ailerons ± 17° from the neutral position.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


6.8-22 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

Each aileron has a geared tab. When the aileron control surfaces are deflected up or down, its geared tab
moves in the opposite direction. This provides aerodynamic assistance to the pilot flying by reducing the force
required to turn the control column.

A ground adjustable trim tab is installed on the right hand aileron. This tab is adjusted by maintenance person-
nel when required.

Aileron Trim And Centering Unit (ATCU)

The ATCU (Figure 6.8-19), provides aileron trim and automatic centering of the aileron control surfaces. The
ATCU is connected to the aileron trim actuator and the aileron forward quadrant. Rotating the control column,
turns the forward quadrant. When the input to the control column is released, the control columns return to the
neutral position in zero trim condition.

Aileron Trim

The Aileron Trim switch controls the trim actuator and has 3 positions. The switch is spring-loaded and returns
to the centre-off position. The ATCU transfers input commands from the aileron trim actuator to the aileron for-
ward quadrant. The forward quadrant rotates and transfers the trim commands to both aileron control surfaces.
Therefore aileron trim is accomplished by deflecting both aileron control surfaces. The neutral position of the
control column is also repositioned. The amount is shown on the aileron trim indicator of the centre console.

The aileron trim system is electrically powered from the Left Essential bus through circuit breakers:
• G8–AIL TRIM ACT for the aileron trim actuator
• H8–AIL TRIM IND for the aileron trim indicator.
When the autopilot is engaged and aileron trim is required, MISTRIM [TRIM L WING DN] or MISTRIM [TRIM R
WING DN] is shown on the Primary Flight Display (PFD), Flight Module Annunciator (FMA) area. The autopilot
must be disengaged and the control column turned until the trim message goes out. The pilot then sets the
required aileron trim with the AILERON trim switch until the control forces are removed from the control col-
umn.

Aileron Trim Runaway

If the aileron trim switch fails closed, causing the ailerons to trim uncontrolled, a limit switch shuts off the elec-
trical power to the trim actuator causing it to stop at the maximum trim input. If the limit switch fails to stop the
trim actuator, a mechanical stop on the trim actuator stops it at the maximum trim setting.

Spoiler Control

There is an inboard and outboard roll spoiler panel on each wing (Figure 6.8-20). The roll spoilers operate with
the ailerons to assist roll control of the airplane in flight. The roll spoilers extend and retract by hydraulically
powered Power Control Units (PCUs) and a system of links and cables.

Pushing either SPLR1 or SPLR2 switchlight, inhibits hydraulic pressure to its related spoiler PCU extend ports
and turns on the ROLL SPLR INBD HYD or ROLL SPLR OUTBD HYD caution light.

There are 3 modes of spoiler operation:


• Flight
• Ground
• Taxi

Flight Mode

The spoilers operate in proportion to, the up going aileron to provide roll control. Turning either the pilot's or co-
pilot's control column, operates the spoilers and ailerons at the same time. The # 1 hydraulic system powers
the inboard spoilers and # 2 hydraulic system powers the outboard spoilers (Figure 6.8-21). At airspeeds
greater than 170 KIAS, only the inboard spoilers operate, the Flight Control Electronic Control Unit (FCECU)
disables the outboard spoilers. At decreasing airspeeds less than 165 KIAS, inboard and outboard spoilers
operate.

If the outboard spoilers are not disabled above 185 KIAS or activated below 150 KIAS, the SPLR OUTBD cau-
tion light turns on.

Pushing either SPLR1 or SPLR2 switchlight, inhibits hydraulic pressure to its related spoiler PCU extend ports.
This turns on the ROLL SPLR INBD HYD or ROLL SPLR OUTBD HYD caution light. The continuous hold
down pressure returns the related spoilers to the down position.

Ground Mode

There are 2 lift-dump valves in the inboard spoiler system and 2 in the outboard spoiler system for ground
spoiler operations. The lift-dump valves in each spoiler system, are hydraulically in series; both valves must
open together before the spoilers can extend on the ground. When the lift-dump valves are energized open,
hydraulic input commands are sent to the PCUs which fully extend both inboard and outboard spoilers.

The lift-dump valves are energized by signals from the FCECU and the Proximity Sensor Electronic Unit
(PSEU). For the spoilers to extend on landing, the FCECU and PSEU must receive valid input signals before
energizing the lift-dump valves (Figure 6.8-22).

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.8-25

Inboard and outboard roll spoilers extend on touchdown when:


• The FLIGHT / TAXI switch is in the FLIGHT position.
• Power Levers # 1 and # 2, are positioned to less than FLIGHT IDLE + 12°.
• Weight-On-Wheels (WOW) proximity on both landing gear detect the airplane has landed.
After the airplane touches down on landing and inputs are valid, roll input commands are cancelled and the roll
spoilers automatically extend. This eliminates the lift on the wings to assist in maximum braking efficiency.
When inboard and outboard spoiler panels extend on touch down, the ROLL INBD and ROLL OUTBD advisory
lights turn on.
If a lift-dump valve fails to energize, its inboard or outboard spoilers will not extend in ground mode. The appli-

Taxi Mode

Flight / Taxi Switch


The FLIGHT / TAXI switch (Figure 6.8-8) has 2 positions FLIGHT and TAXI.
The switch is spring-loaded to FLIGHT position, but must be manually selected to the TAXI position. It is main-
tained in the TAXI position by a hold-in solenoid.
When Power Levers # 1 and # 2 are moved to a position greater than FLIGHT IDLE + 12°, the solenoid is de-
energized and the switch moves automatically to the FLIGHT position.
The FLIGHT / TAXI switch must be selected to FLIGHT position for take-off.
After the airplane touches down, all spoilers panels can be retracted for taxiing by selecting the FLIGHT / TAXI
switch to TAXI position. However, if both power levers are advanced above Flight Idle + 12°, for take-off again,
the FLIGHT / TAXI switch automatically moves to FLIGHT position and all spoiler panels retract.
The ROLL INBD and ROLL OUTBD advisory lights will go off.
The spoiler system is also monitored by ROLL SPLR INBD GND or ROLL SPLR OUTBD GND caution lights.
ROLL SPLR INBD GND or ROLL SPLR OUTBD GND caution light will come on:
• If FCECU detects a loss of lift-dump valve function.
• If a spoiler panel fails to extend after landing.
• If a spoiler panel remains extended after the FLIGHT / TAXI switch is selected to TAXI position after touch-
down.
Roll Control Jam
A roll control jam can result if a malfunction occurs in the spoilers or aileron control system. The malfunction
may consist of a roll control circuit jam, spoiler cable failure, Power Control Unit (PCU) actuator / linkage jam,
an internal PCU valve failure or loss of hydraulic pressure.
During normal operation, the ailerons and spoilers operate at the same time.
The roll disconnect system is a clutch mechanism attached to the base of the co-pilot's control column and
controlled by the ROLL DISC handle.
During flight, if a roll control jam occurs in the spoiler or aileron system, the ROLL DISC handle is pulled out to
the limit and turned through 90° clockwise or counter-clockwise.
This disengages the clutch and isolates the jammed system from the operating system.
The pilot with the unjammed control column will have roll control and should take the appropriate action.

Left Control Column Free


If the left control column is free, (Figure 6.8-20) only roll spoilers will operate.
Roll control forces will be low and the tendency to over control should be avoided.

Right Control Column Free


If the right control column is free, only ailerons will be operational. If the control column is rotated more than
50° from neutral to maintain wings level, SPLR 1 and SPLR 2 switchlights (Figure 6.8-20) will come on.
This may be due to one or both roll spoilers on the same side being stuck extended.
If the SPLR 1 and / or SPLR 2 switchlights remain on continuously in wings-level flight, they must be pushed off
to depressurize the PCU(s) and retract the affected spoiler(s). This will turn on the ROLL SPLR INBD HYD and
/ or ROLL SPLR OUTBD HYD caution lights ROLL SPLR OUTBD HYD caution light will not turn on until speed
is less than 165 kt. The OFF legend remains displayed on both switchlights to indicate they have been pushed
off. Roll spoiler positions may be monitored on the pilot's Multi Function Display (MFD).
4 Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDT) located in the wing, feedback spoiler positions to the
FCECU and to the Integrated Flight Cabinet (IFC).
The IFC then displays the spoiler panel positions on the pilot’s MFD.

6.8.4.3 Pitch Control

Pitch Control System

Pitch control of the airplane is maintained by 2 mechanically controlled and hydraulically powered elevators
(Figure 6.8-23). The elevators are attached to the trailing edge of the left and right horizontal stabilizers. The
left control column operates the left elevator and the right control column operates the right elevator. However
both control columns are connected to each other by the pitch disconnect system so that they both operate
together.
Fore and aft movement of the pilot's and co-pilot's control columns is transferred through 2 fully independent
cable and pulley control circuits to the elevator Power Control Units (PCU).
There are 3 identical hydraulic PCUs (outboard, centre and inboard) on each elevator. The outboard and cen-
tre PCUs on each elevator are active at all times while the inboard PCU is a standby. The # 1 hydraulic system
supplies power to the left and right outboard PCUs. The # 2 hydraulic system supplies power to the left and
right centre PCUs. The standby # 3 hydraulic system supplies power to the left and right inboard standby PCUs
when required.
The HYD # 3 ISOL VLV pushbutton on the HYDRAULIC CONTROL panel when pushed, manually activates
the inboard PCUs. This will cause the ELEVATOR PRESS caution light to turn on if the # 1 and # 2 hydraulic
systems are functioning. The # 3 isolation valve will also activate automatically when # 1 and / or # 2 hydraulic
system fails.
Pitch trim is accomplished by two pitch trim actuators. The actuators are controlled automatically by the autopi-
lot or manually by the trim switches on the pilot's and co-pilot's control column. Elevator trim position is shown
on the elevator trim indicator located on the left side of the centre console. If a mismatch occurs between the
left and right elevator an ELEVATOR ASYMMETRY caution light comes on. Elevator position indication is dis-
played on pilot’s Multi-Function Display (MFD). Gust protection for the elevators is supplied by trapped hydrau-
lic fluid within the actuators when the system is depressurized.

Elevator Control Jam

The pilot's and co-pilot's control columns are mechanically connected to each other through the pitch discon-
nect mechanism (Figure 6.8-23). If an elevator jam occurs in either control circuit, the 2 control columns can be
disconnected from each other by using the pitch disconnect handle located on the left side of the centre con-
sole. When the handle is in the engaged position, the pilot's and co-pilot's control columns are connected to
each other by a clutch.
When the handle is pulled out and rotated 90° the clutch disengages and disconnects the two control columns.
The pilot with the free control column will have pitch control.

Pitch Feel and Trim Unit

Artificial pitch feel is provided by 2 Pitch Feel and Trim Units (PFTUs), right and left (Figure 6.8-23).
Pitch feel is provided by a right and left pitch feel actuator. The PFTUs are installed in the vertical stabilizer.
The right PFTU controls the right elevator and the left PFTU controls the left elevator. Pitch commands from
the control columns are transferred to the elevator PCUs which, move the elevator surfaces.
Centering springs in the PFTU systems, help to return the elevator control surfaces to the neutral position. Two
pitch trim actuators installed on top of the PFTUs supply elevator trim.
Both pitch feel actuators operate at the same time and supply artificial forces to the control columns. As air-
speed varies, the FCECU commands the pitch feel actuators to supply the correct artificial forces to the control
columns. The elevator column force increases with column displacement as a function of airspeed and normal
acceleration of the airplane. Air Data Units (ADUs) supply airspeed information to the FCECU. Normal acceler-
ation is supplied through ARINC 429 IFC BUS.
If one pitch feel actuator fails, the other actuator will operate normally. The FCECU detects the failed actuator
and holds it at it’s last valid position. The FCECU will continue to provide pitch commands to the operating
actuator. The ELEVATOR FEEL caution light will turn on and airspeed should be reduced to 200 KIAS.

Pitch Trim

Pitch trim is accomplished by two pitch trim actuators which extend or retract to trim the elevators. The elevator
trim actuator is controlled automatically by the autopilot or manually by the trim switches on the pilot's and co-
pilot's control column.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.8-29

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

Pitch trim signals from the trim switches or from the autopilot, are prioritized by the FCECU in the order: pilot,
co-pilot and autopilot. The trim signal with the highest priority controls the pitch trim actuator.
The FCECU controls the elevator pitch trim rate according to the airspeed of the airplane. At airspeeds below
150 KIAS, the trim actuators operate in high speed mode. At airspeeds greater than 250 KIAS, the trim actua-
tors operate in low speed mode. The FCECU adjusts the trim rate between 150 KIAS and 250 KIAS. The
FCECU receives airspeed inputs from the Air Data Units (ADU).

Pitch Trim Switches

Operation

Elevator trim control is provided through the actuation of trim switches located on the outboard handgrip of
each control column (Figure 6.8-12). The pitch trim switches are divided into 2 halves. Both halves must be
operated for pitch trim commands. They are thumb-operated switches, which are spring-loaded to the centre-
off from NOSE DN and NOSE UP positions.
When the switches are pushed forward to NOSE DN position, a nose-down trim is commanded and when the
switches are pulled aft to NOSE UP position, a nose-up trim is commanded. If FCECU detects that manual
pitch trim command persists for longer than 3 s, an aural warning will sound and the ELEVATOR TRIM PUSH
OFF switchlight on the glareshield panel will turn on.
The aural warning will stop and the ELEVATOR TRIM PUSH OFF switchlight will cancel when the pitch trim
command is removed or the switchlight is pushed. If the left or right ELEVATOR TRIM SHUTOFF switchlight is
pushed, the elevator trim is deactivated.

Flap Auto Pitch Trim

During flap extension or retraction (15° to 35° only), automatic pitch trim is provided to reduce the pitch forces
originating felt on the control columns. Therefore the elevators are automatically trimmed whenever the flaps
are moving between 15° and 35°.
The Flap Auto Trim activates and deactivates automatically without any annunciations. Nose down pitch trim is
commanded when flaps are extended and nose up pitch trim is commanded when flaps are retracted.

Flap Auto Pitch Trim is active when:


• Flaps selected from 15° to 35°, and
• the autopilot is not engaged, and
• the airspeed is less than 180 KIAS, and
• manual pitch trim is not commanded.
• Flap Auto Trim will temporary disengage if manual pitch trim is applied.

Flap Auto Pitch Trim will automatically disengage, when:


• The airplane is on the ground (WOW), or
• airspeed is greater than 180 KIAS, or
• the autopilot is engaged, or
• flaps are not in transition, or
• commands are in excess of the pitch limits, or
• unspecified failures within the AFCS occur, or
• flight control system failures occur.

Elevator Trim Indicator

The elevator trim indicator (Figure 6.8-13) is located in the flight compartment on left side of the centre console.
The LVDTs located in the pitch trim actuators, signal the FCECU which then supplies a signal to the elevator
trim indicator. The indicator displays elevator trim position as commanded by the pitch trim switches on the
pilot's and co-pilot's control column or the AFCS.
The indicator is labeled NU for nose up, ND for nose down and TO for take-off. A white band next to each the
TO label, shows the take-off trim range. An aural warning sounds if both power levers are advanced to achieve
greater than 50% torque, with the elevator trim set outside the take-off range.

If PITCH TRIM is held for more than 3 s, ELEVATOR TRIM SHUTOFF illuminates and PITCH TRIM audible
sounds.
Either ELEVATOR TRIM SHUTOFF switchlight must be pushed.

6.8.6 Secondary Flight Controls

6.8.6.1 Flaps

2 single-slotted inboard and outboard fowler flaps are attached to the trailing edge of each wing (Figure 6.8-1).
The flaps are connected to screw jacks which are operated by a primary drive shaft. A Flap Power Unit (FPU)
actuated by the flap selector, operates the flap drive system (Figure 6.8-24) and moves the flaps to their
selected positions. The flap surfaces are electronically controlled by the FCU and operated by # 1 hydraulic
operated system.

The flap quadrant provides gates at 5 positions corresponding to the 5 possible flap positions 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°
and 35°. These Flap positions are shown on the co-pilot's MFD FLAP indicator.

Flap Control Unit (FCU)

Flap Control Unit (FCU) monitors and controls flap movement. The FCU is responsible for turning on the FLAP
POWER and FLAP DRIVE caution lights. It also turns on the Standby Hydraulic Pump and the PTU when flaps
are moved out of 0° position.

Flap Selector Lever

The flap selector lever (Figure 6.8-16) moves in a quadrant with 5 gates at 0°, 5°, 10° 15° and 35°. A trigger
located below the flap selector lever knob must be pulled up before the lever can be moved from one gate to
the next, the trigger must be released in the next gate before the flaps start moving. The flap selector lever is
mechanically connected to the rudder restrictor on the right rudder fore quadrant.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.8-31

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

Flap Power Unit (FPU)

The FPU converts hydraulic power to rotary mechanical power to operate the flap actuators, raising or lowering
the flaps, when selected. The # 1 hydraulic system supplies pressure to the FPU. The FPU receives flap actu-
ation signals from the Flap Control Unit (FCU). It also sends feedback signals to let the FCU monitor flap
movement.

Operation

When the flap selector lever is in the 0° position, all flaps are retracted and the flap position indicator points to
0°. Moving the flap selector lever signals the FCU that the flap lever is in a new position. The Flap Control Unit
(FCU) (Figure 6.8-24) starts the actuation when the flap lever reaches the first gate and an arming switch,
located on the flap selector lever, is activated.

Movement of the flap selector lever causes the arming switch to send an enabling signal to the FCU. When the
FCU receives the enabling signal, it commands the FPU to start moving the flaps to the newly selected posi-
tion. When the selected flap position has been reached, the FCU stops any further flap movement. No-backs in
each actuator keep the flap locked in the selected position. The electronic monitoring of the flaps minimize flap
asymmetry in case of drive line failure and minimize non-selected flap movement.

Flap Drive

There are 4 flap actuators installed on each wing, two actuators per flap. The flap actuators move the flap sur-
faces to a selected position and lock the selected position against the aerodynamic forces on the flap surfaces,
through bi-directional no-backs in each actuator.

Non-Normal Operation

If during flap extension or retraction a flap failure occurs, either the FLAP POWER or the FLAP DRIVE caution
light will come on.

If the FLAP POWER caution light comes on a flap failure has occurred. The flaps will lock in the last position
reached prior to failure. All further flap movements will be inhibited.

If the FLAP DRIVE caution light turns on this is a flap fault indication. The flaps may still be operable in some
instances with reduced performance. The fault is automatically reset if the condition goes away.

Flap Position Indication Unit (FPIU)

The FPIU supplies flap position data to the flight compartment and to other airplane systems for indication and
monitoring purposes. The flap position indication system has 2 functions:
• Supplies indication of the current flap position to the co-pilot's MFD.
• Monitors flaps position during flap deployment and signals position data to the FCU, FCECU, IFC, ADU.

6.8.7 Gust Locks

Ailerons

The aileron gust lock system locks the aileron control surfaces in the neutral position when the co-
pilot’s control column is in the neutral position (Figure 6.8-19). The aileron control system is a mechanically
operated system. Gust protection for the ailerons is supplied by a gust lock mechanism operated by a CON-
TROL LOCK lever from the flight compartment. The CONTROL LOCK lever is located on the power quadrant
ahead of the power levers (Figure 6.8-11). It is spring loaded to the forward OFF position while a trigger under
the CONTROL LOCK lever locks it in the aft ON position.

When the CONTROL LOCK lever is ON position, the ailerons lock in neutral position. The power levers will
move only as far as the CONTROL LOCK lever. If a gust lock cable fails, the gust lock mechanism fails safe to
the unlocked position.

To unlock the aileron gust lock, the CONTROL LOCK lever must be pulled aft and the trigger under the gust
lock lever squeezed to release it. The CONTROL LOCK lever can then be moved forward to the OFF position.

Rudder and Elevators

The Rudder and the Elevator Control Systems are hydraulically powered flight control systems. Gust lock pro-
tection for these 2 systems is provided by retained hydraulic pressure in the flight control actuators. The
retained pressure provides stiffness to the flight control surface, which resists movement from external forces.

6.8.8 Stall Protection System

The Stall Protection System (SPS) operation mode is divided into:


• Pre-flight
• In-flight

Pre-Flight Test: A stall warning test should be conducted daily. The STALL WARN toggle switch located on the
pilot side console is set to the TEST 1 and then to the TEST 2 position to test the 2 Stall Protection Modules
(SPM 1, SPM 2). The switch must be held in the appropriate position for more than 10 s.

In-Flight Operational Mode: The Stall Protection System (SPS) operates when the airspeed and above ground
altitude are near their lower limits.

Each Stall Protection Module (SPS 1, SPM 2) (Figure 6.8-25) uses the following parameters to calculate when
the airplane is near a stall condition:
• Angle of attack data
• Flap position

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.8-33

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

• Mach number
• Engine torque
• Icing status
2 Stall Protection Modules (SPM 1, SPM 2) are used to calculate the stick pusher operating angle. It uses the
parameters that follow:
• Angle of attack
• Flap position
• Mach number
• Power lever angle
• Condition lever angle
The Stall Protection Modules calculate when to start and cancel the stick shakers and stick pusher operation.
When the Stall Protection Modules operate their related stick shakers, a signal to the Automatic Flight Control
System (AFCS) disengages the autopilot. In addition, a signal to the Ground Proximity Warning System
(GWPS) prevents the PULL UP audible alerts. For the stick pusher calculations, each Stall Protection Module
(SPM 1, SPM 2) uses the average of the 2 Angle Of Attack (AOA 1, AOA 2) inputs.

The stick pusher will not operate if:

• SPM self-monitoring is not valid.


• Pre-flight test failure detected affecting the stick pusher. Includes WOW input discrepancy and RA inhibit
failures as well as stick pusher interface failures.
• Pre-flight test failure detected affecting stall warning. Includes caution light failures as well as stick shaker
failures.
• Failure of one AOA vane. Includes range check, trigonometry check, excitation failure and AOA vane heater
failure in flight.
• AOA discrepancy detected.
• Failure of both AOA vanes. Includes range check, trigonometry check, excitation failure and AOA vane
heater failure in flight.
• Failure of one stick shaker.
• Failure of both stick shakers, or one stick shaker and the opposite SPM.
• Stick pusher failed. Includes failures detected by the stick pusher actuator (FAIL signal), discrepancy
between push command and command feedback and discrepancy between push command and stick
pusher actuator PUSH feedback signal.
• Stick pusher manually inhibited by shut off (release) switch.
• Stick pusher inhibited by AOA synthetic monitoring.
• Failure of both flap position inputs.
• Failure of both mach inputs.
• Propeller de-icing discrete discrepancy between SPMs
• Failure of both engine torque inputs.
• Both shakers not commanded or airplane not in flight for > 50 ms and pusher criteria met.

If an AOA transducer is not being heated, the Stall Protection Modules will not use its input.

The stall firing angle of the stick shaker is set to a relatively lower angle of attack when in icing conditions.
When the REF SPEEDS switch is selected to INCR, the Stall Protection System (SPS) changes its calculations
because of the reduced performance limits of the airplane. The Engine Display (ED) of the Electronic Instru-
ment System (EIS) shows an INCR REF SPEEDS message.

The stick pusher operates when the conditions that follow are correct:

• Calibrated airspeed is less than 215 kt


• Above Ground Level (AGL) altitude is more than 200 ft
• Stick pusher SHUT OFF annunciator switch is not pushed to the OFF position

When the airplane is near a stall condition, the stall protection system stick shakers causes the control col-
umns to vibrate. In addition to this tactile warning, the stick shaker motor and the rattling of the mechanism on
the control column creates a loud noise.

When one stick shaker is operating, its vibration is transmitted through the torque tubes and the push / pull rod
to the other control column.

The stick pusher will move the control columns to decrease the angle of attack of the airplane when the air-
plane is in a stall condition. The pilots can override the stick pusher clutch by applying an opposite breakout 36
Kgf (kilogram-force) (80 lbf) to the control column. After breakout, a 30 Kgf (66 lbf) is needed to continue to
override the clutch.

The stick pusher OFF switchlight can also be pushed to turn off the stick pusher.

If one stick pusher SHUT OFF switchlight or the other is pushed and latched, the OFF caption will illuminate on
both annunciator switchlights. The stick pusher actuator will be shut off.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.8-35

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

When both switchlights are deselected again, pusher is released and the OFF captions in the 2 switchlights
extinguish.

Malfunctions of the Stall Protection System (SPS) are shown with caution lights.

The stall protection system malfunctions are shown with the caution lights that follow:

• # 1 STALL SYST FAIL


• # 2 STALL SYST FAIL
• PUSHER SYST FAIL

The # 1 STALL SYST FAIL and # 2 STALL SYST FAIL caution lights come on immediately in flight when mal-
functions that prevent stick shaker and stick pusher operation are sensed.

Malfunctions of non-critical parameters, or stick shaker motors malfunction, are not shown in flight. The # 1
STALL SYST FAIL or # 2 STALL SYST FAIL caution light will come on 30 s after the airplane has landed.

Any of the conditions that follow will cause the PUSHER SYST FAIL caution light to come on:

• SPM self-monitoring is not valid.


• Pre-flight test failure detected affecting the stick pusher. Includes WOW input discrepancy and RA inhibit
failures as well as stick pusher interface failures.
• Pre-flight test failure detected affecting stall warning. Includes caution light failures as well as stick shaker
failures.
• Failure of one AOA vane. Includes range check, trigonometry check, excitation failure and AOA vane heater
failure in flight.
• AOA discrepancy detected.
• Failure of both AOA vanes. Includes range check, trigonometry check, excitation failure and AOA vane
heater failure in flight.
• Failure of one stick shaker.
• Failure of both stick shakers, or one stick shaker and the opposite SPM.
• Stick pusher failed. Includes failures detected by the stick pusher actuator (FAIL signal), discrepancy
between push command and command feedback and discrepancy between push command and stick
pusher actuator PUSH feedback signal.
• Stick pusher manually inhibited by shut off (release) switch.
• Stick pusher inhibited by AOA synthetic monitoring.
• Failure of both flap position inputs.
• Failure of both mach inputs.
• Propeller de-icing discrete discrepancy between SPMs
• Failure of both engine torque inputs.
• Both shakers not commanded or airplaneairplane not in flight for > 50 ms and pusher criteria met.

The PUSHER SYST FAIL caution light comes on when a stick pusher SHUT OFF switchlight selection is
made. The PUSHER SYST FAIL light will go out when the 2 stick pusher SHUT OFF switchlights are not set
and no malfunctions exist.

6.9 (ATA 28) FUEL

6.9.1 Introduction

Fuel is contained in 2 integral main wing tanks designated # 1 and # 2. The fuel system provides for indicating,
storing, venting, fuel feeding and scavenging, refueling / defueling and transferring. Only tank to tank transfer is
available; there is no engine crossfeed capability. The aircraft may be gravity or pressure refueled.

6.9.2 General

A fuel gauging system supplies quantity data to the flight compartment and refuel / defuel panel for display.

It has accuracy as specified per MIL-G-26988 Class III on the ground and Class II in flight. The system meets
requirement over aircraft attitudes of ± 4° pitch and ± 3° roll. System does not compensate for attitude varia-
tions in flight.

Fuel quantity may also be checked on the ground by use of the magnetic dipsticks.

Each wing tank includes a surge bay and a collector bay. The left tank supplies fuel to the left engine and the
optional Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). The right tank supplies fuel to the right engine. A vent system keeps the
air pressure in the fuel tanks between structural limits.

Fuel can be transferred between the tanks for lateral balancing or for fuel management. A single point pressure
refuel / defuel system shares selected common components with the fuel transfer system. Gravity refueling
may also be done through 2 over-wing fuel filler points.

6.9.4 Fuel - Indications

Fuel quantity and temperature data is shown in white on the Engine Display (ED) and the Fuel Page of the
Multi Function Display (MFD). White dashes replace the digits or simulated dials if the data is not valid or not
available.

A Fuel Quantity Computer (FQC) uses 9 capacitance type fuel probes in each tank to determine the total fuel
quantity. The fuel quantity of each tank is shown in digital form on the bottom center of the Engine Display
(ED). The Fuel Page of the Multi Function Display (MFD) also shows the fuel quantity of each tank on 2 simu-
lated analog dials and below that the total fuel quantity in digital form. The fuel quantity can be shown in kilo-
grams (KG) - (Option CR 828 SO 70171) or pounds (LBS.) - (standard display). The fuel flow for each engine
is shown in digital form on the ED in units of KG/H or PPH.

The fuel temperature (°C) in the left collector tank is shown in digital form on the MFD Fuel Page, just below
the left fuel quantity dial. The engine inlet temperature of the fuel after it has passed through the Fuel Oil Heat
Exchanger (FOHE) for the left and right engines is shown in digital form on the bottom of the ED, just below the
related fuel tank quantity. The digits are shown in white with a ± sign and change to yellow or red if the temper-
ature is not in the preset range. A °C unit is shown between the 2 inlet temperatures.

The fuel quantity of each tank is also shown on the refuel / defuel panel located at the back underside of the
right nacelle. One magnetic dipstick on the underside of each tank can also be used on the ground to give an
independent mechanical indication of the fuel quantity in litres or US gallons. The magnetic dipstick is a cali-
brated rod with a magnet attached to the top. It moves within a tube that extends vertically from the bottom of
the fuel tank. A float moves up and down on the outside surface of this tube to match the fuel level in the tank.
The float contains a magnet that is attracted to the magnet on the magnetic dipstick, holding the dipstick at that
level.

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

6.9.5 Storage and Distribution

There are 2 integral (wet) wing tanks that extend laterally from the fuselage to the rib just inboard of the aile-
rons (Figure 6.9-10). Each wing tank is divided into 3 sections:
• Surge bay
• Main tank
• Collector bay
The surge bay is located between the two ribs inboard of the aileron. The main tank extends from the surge
bay to the fuselage and collector bay. The collector bay is located at the inboard and aft part of the wing tank.
Fuel is contained in the main tanks and the collector bays.
Total useable fuel from the tanks is 5318 kg (11724 lbs). The maximum lateral imbalance permitted between
tanks is 272 kg (600 lbs). Water drain valves in the low points of the surge bays, main tanks and collector bays
are located on the underside of the wings.
The surge bay is used for main tank venting and fuel recovery. 2 outboard float vent valves and one inboard
vent line, control the pressure between the related surge bay and main tank (Figure 6.9-11). The 2 float vent
valves, located near the top of the tank, open and close depending on the fuel level in the main tank. Each
surge bay is vented through integral standpipes to two separate NACA vents on the bottom of the wings. Dur-
ing flight, any fuel that may spill into the surge bay, is returned to the tank by the reduced pressure in the main
tank, as fuel is used.
The collector bay supplies engine fuel regardless of aircraft attitude. Fuel tank scavenging takes place using
scavenge ejector pumps in each tank which draw fuel from tank low points, to keep the collector bay full. A pri-
mary ejector pump in the collector bay then provides a constant low-pressure fuel supply to the engine. High-
pressure motive flow is used to operate the scavenge and primary ejector pumps.
Flapper check valves are located at the base of each collector bay and select ribs. They ensure gravity fed fuel
flow into the collector bay if the scavenge flow is not sufficient.
The related # 1 TANK or # 2 TANK FUEL LOW caution light will come on if:
• park brake is off
• related collector bay level drops below approximately 150 kg (305 lbs)
• related engine is operating.

6.9-18 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

6.9.6 Engine Fuel Feed

Fuel to each engine is fed from the collector tank, from a primary ejector pump or an AC driven auxiliary pump
and delivered to the engine driven pump (Figure 6.9-12). If the engine driven pump inlet pressure drops below
a preset limit, the related # 1 or # 2 ENG FUEL PRESS caution light comes on.

An AC (Variable Frequency) auxiliary pump in each collector bay serves as a back up source of fuel boost
pressure for take-off and landing and in case the related primary ejector pump does not supply the necessary
fuel pressure. Related TANK 1 or TANK 2 AUX PUMP switchlights on the FUEL CONTROL TRANSFER panel
control the auxiliary pumps manually (Figure 6.9-13).

A TANK 1 or TANK 2 AUX PUMP switch indicator on the MFD Fuel Page shows the position of the switchlight.
When the pump is supplying sufficient boost pressure, the TANK 1 or TANK 2 AUX PUMP light on the Fuel
Page will turn green and the related ON switchlight segment turns green.

The engine feed shutoff valve closes when the related PULL FUEL / HYD OFF handle, on the Fire Protection
Panel (FPP), is pulled (Figure 6.9-13). Advisory lights on the FPP show when the valve is open or closed.

The fuel is filtered and heated by Fuel Oil Heat Exchanger (FOHE) before entering the FMU. If the fuel filter
becomes blocked, fuel bypasses the filter. The # 1 or # 2 FUEL FLTR BYPASS caution light will comes on if a
related bypass is impending.

6.9.7 Fuel Transfer

Fuel can be transferred from one tank to the other to correct fuel imbalances or for fuel management. If the
Fuel Quantity Computer (FQC) detects a fuel imbalance of more than 272 kg (600 lbs), a yellow [BALANCE]
message flashes just above the FUEL legend of the ED. The message will flash until the imbalance is cor-
rected. An imbalance condition will also be shown on the Fuel Page by the analog quantity dials changing to
solid yellow.
A TRANSFER switch on the FUEL CONTROL TRANSFER panel controls the fuel transfer system (Figure 6.9-
14). When the TRANSFER switch is selected, the auxiliary pump in the donor tank operates automatically to
pump fuel to the receiver tank. A signal from the operating pump causes the related ON switchlight segment to
turn green. Electrically operated fuel transfer shutoff valves open for fuel transfer and close when the transfer
is stopped. Fuel transfer indications are also shown on the MFD Fuel Page. Once selected, fuel transfer will
continue until deselected by the flight crew or until a high-level sensor in the wing tank which is receiving fuel
detects an overfill condition, which automatically halts fuel transfer. The FUELING ON caution light is on if the
refuel / defuel access door is open.

6.9.8 Refueling

The refuel / defuel panel controls all refuel and defuel operations (Figure 6.9-15). Access to the panel is gained
through a flush door on the rear underside of # 2 nacelle. DC power must be available for refueling. The FUEL-
ING ON caution light will come on when the refuel / defuel door is open with electrical power supplied. Refuel-
ing can be accomplished either automatically (PRESELECT REFUEL), or manually (REFUEL).

When the rotary selector is turned to the PRESELECT REFUEL or REFUEL position, the MASTER VALVE
CLOSED light goes out to show that the refuel / defuel shutoff valve is open (Figures 6.9-16 & 17). The refuel /
defuel shutoff valve will close when the refuel / defuel door is closed, regardless of the rotary selector position.
During pressure refueling, fuel pressure opens a vent / dump valve in each tank to vent the tanks through the
surge bay. For automatic refueling, the desired quantity is selected adjacent the PRESEL display on the Refuel
/ Defuel Indicator (RDI), by using the INCR DECR toggle switch (Figure 6.9-18). When the selected quantity is
reached, the level control shutoff valve automatically stops fuel flow to the related tank. The PRECHECK /
OPEN / CLOSE switches must set to OPEN for refueling.

During manual refueling, the desired quantity in each tank is controlled by the PRECHECK / OPEN / CLOSE
switches. The RDI will display the individual tank quantities. With the rotary selector turned to the REFUEL
position, refueling continues until the PRECHECK / OPEN / CLOSE switches are in the CLOSE position, the
selector switch is turned to the OFF position, or until the high level sensors sense a full tank condition.

When fueling is in progress, advisory lights on the refuel / defuel control panel indicate the position of the fuel
control valves. The amber DUMP VALVE OPEN indicator light comes on when the related vent / dump valve
opens. The vent / dump valve allows air to vent from the tank as it fills and prevents damage should the tank
overfill due to failure of both normal and backup shutoff features. In the latter case, fuel flows into the surge bay
through the refuel vent valve and, if it reaches the height of the standpipes, is spilled overboard through the
surge bay NACA vents.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


6.9-22 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

2 PRECHECK / OPEN / CLOSE switches test the automatic shutoff operation of the related high level control
unit during refueling, ensuring operation of the overfill shutoff system. With the switch in the PRECHECK posi-
tion a full tank is simulated for the related tank and the high level sensor shuts off refueling to that tank by clos-
ing the level control shutoff valve. This causes the related amber REFUEL SHUTOFF light to turn on. Refueling
restarts when the switch is released. If DC power is lost during refueling, refueling stops.

Gravity refueling can be done through the wing mounted gravity refuel adapter located on the top surface of
the wing (Figure 6.9-19).

6.9.9 Defueling

When the rotary selector is turned to the PRESELECT DEFUEL position, the FGC closes the refuel / defuel
valves to automatically stop defueling at the preset quantity.

When the rotary selector is turned to the DEFUEL position, defueling continues until the selector switch is
turned to the OFF position.

If AC (variable frequency) power is available, the related auxiliary fuel pump operates to help the defueling pro-
cess. Without an AC power source, suction defueling must be used. DC power is required for defueling regard-
less of AC power availability.

6.9.10 Limitations

The maximum refueling pressure is 50 psi, which gives a refueling flow rate of approximately 125 gallons per
minute.

A minimum of 20 psi refueling pressure is necessary for the system to operate properly.

See AOM, Volume 1, Chapter 1 Limitations.

6.10.2 General
Main hydraulic power is provided by 3 independent hydraulic systems, designated # 1 (left), # 2 (right) and # 3
(aft) (Figure 6.10-1).
The # 1 and # 2 hydraulic systems are normally pressurized by a single Engine-Driven Pump (EDP) for each
system. System pressure is maintained at 3000 psi.
The # 3 hydraulic system is powered by an accumulator which is pressurized by a DC-Motor-Driven-Pump
(DCMP). A pressure switch controls the DCMP operation to maintain the accumulator pressure within 2600 to
3250 psi.
An electrically driven Standby Hydraulic Pump operates as a backup to the # 1 hydraulic system. It operates
during the take-off and landing phases, or if # 1 engine fails.
A Power Transfer Unit (PTU) operates as a backup to the # 2 hydraulic system. The PTU is powered by the # 1
hydraulic system.
If both engines fail, where both EDPs and the Standby Hydraulic Pump are unavailable, the DCMP in # 3
hydraulic system provides sufficient hydraulic power to the elevators for pitch control.
The # 1 system powers the:
• Flaps
• Rudder (Lower Power Control Unit (PCU))
• Inboard Roll Spoilers
• Elevators (Outboard PCUs)
• Main Wheel Brakes / Anti Skid

The # 2 system powers the:


• Landing Gear
• Nose Wheel Steering
• Outboard Roll Spoilers
• Emergency / Parking Brakes
• Rudder (Upper PCU)
• Elevators (Centre PCUs)

The # 3 system supplies backup power to:


• Left Elevator (Inboard PCU)
• Right Elevator (Inboard PCU)

The Emergency Hydraulic system powers the:


• Alternate Landing Gear Extension System

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

6.10.4 # 1 and # 2 Hydraulic Systems

6.10.4.1 Hydraulic Reservoirs

The hydraulic system reservoirs store hydraulic fluid and supply the necessary fluid volume to the hydraulic
systems.
The # 1 hydraulic system reservoir is installed in the left engine nacelle (Figure 6.10-7) while the # 2 reservoir
is installed in the right engine nacelle (Figure 6.10-9).
The reservoir uses system output pressure 3000 psi to pressurize itself and provide a 55 psi suction pressure
to the EDPs.
Hydraulic fluid over-temperature in each reservoir is indicated by # 1 or # 2 HYD FLUID HOT caution light com-
ing on.

• The volume of the # 1 system reservoir is 8 qt (US Quarts) (7.55 L (litres)).


• The volume of the # 2 system reservoir is 12 qt (11.34 L).

6.10.4.2 System Operation

Hydraulic fluid is supplied by the pressurized reservoir through the Firewall Shut-Off Valve to the EDP (Figures
6.10-8 and 6.10-10).
Fluid under pressure is now directed to its sub-systems at a nominal pressure of 3000 psi before returning to
the reservoir.
Individual hydraulic pressure and quantity indicators are provided to monitor # 1, # 2 and # 3 hydraulic sys-
tems.
Park brake and standby hydraulic pressure are also monitored.
All indicators are presented on the co-pilot's Multi-Function Display (MFD).
If an EDP fails, the # 1 or # 2 ENG HYD PUMP caution light comes on.

6.10.4.3 Firewall Shut-Off Valves

The # 1 and # 2 hydraulic systems each have a Firewall Shut-Off Valve which, when closed, stops the flow of
hydraulic fluid to the EDPs (Figures 6.10-8 and 6.10-10).
2 HYD advisory lights for each Firewall Shut-Off Valve are provided on the Fire Protection Panel, 1 green and
1 white.
The green advisory light turns on when the firewall valve is OPEN and the white when the valve is closed.
If an engine is shut down due to an engine fire, hydraulic fluid is shut off to the EDP by pulling the ENGINE 1 or
ENGINE 2, PULL FUEL / HYD OFF handle out to its stop.
The green advisory light will go out and the white advisory light will turn on.
The Firewall Shut-Off Valve which is powered by the battery bus will close when:
• ENGINE 1 or ENGINE 2 PULL FUEL / HYD OFF handle is pulled
• # 1 or # 2 Hydraulic reservoir fluid quantity is low
• Hydraulic fluid over-temperature condition has occurred

6.10.4.4 Hydraulic System Heat Exchangers

The # 1 and # 2 hydraulic systems each include an oil-to-fuel heat exchanger, located in the fuel tank that is
used to cool the hydraulic fluid of each system.
Hydraulic fluid from the EDP flows through the heat exchanger before returning to the hydraulic reservoir.
A heat exchanger bypass valve controls the flow of hydraulic fluid to and from the heat exchanger.

6.10.4.5 Hydraulic System Isolation Valves


The # 1 and # 2 hydraulic systems each include an isolation valve which is normally opened (Figures 6.10-8
and 6.10-10).
When there is inadequate fluid quantity due to hydraulic fluid loss, the isolation valve closes and the # 1 or # 2
HYD ISO VLV caution light turns on.
Hydraulic power is available only to the following components:
# 1 system:
• Rudder
• Elevators
• Flaps
• PTU
# 2 system:
• Rudder
• Elevators

6.10.4.6 Standby Hydraulic Pump


# 1 hydraulic system uses a variable frequency AC motor-driven pump (Figure 6.10-8) which functions as a
backup source for providing pressurized hydraulic fluid in response to system demand.
The Standby Hydraulic Pump supplies backup power to the # 1 hydraulic system and is selected on for take-off
and landing.
The Standby Hydraulic Pump is electrically powered by the # 2 AC generaror through the right 115 V variable
AC bus.
Backup electrical power to the Standby Hydraulic Pump is supplied by the # 1 AC generaror through the right
115 V variable AC bus.
The Standby Hydraulic Pump is installed in the # 1 engine nacelle.

6.10.4.7 Normal Operation


The Standby Hydraulic Pump is normally selected on for take-off and landing.
When the STBY HYD PRESS switchlight on the HYDRAULIC CONTROL panel is pushed, the Standby
Hydraulic Pump is energized on.
A green ON legend in the switchlight turns on.
When the Standby Hydraulic Pump is activated on automatically, the green ON legend in the switchlight will not
turn on.
After take-off, the STBY HYD PRESS switch is selected off to deactivate the SPU.
Nominal system pressure is 3000 psi.
If not selected on, the SPU will automatically turn on if:
• # 1 engine fails during flight, or
• Flaps are selected to positions > 0° when parking brake is selected off and hydraulic reservoir # 1 not
empty.
When the STBY HYD PRESS switchlight is pushed, the green legend in switchlight shows ON.
If the SPU pump windings should overheat, the # 1 STBY HYD PUMP HOT caution light will come on.

6.10.4.8 Priority Valve


A priority valve is included in the # 1 hydraulic system (Figure 6.10-8) and is normally open.
If the hydraulic pressure in # 1 system decreases below 2100 psi because of system demand, the priority valve
closes.
This shuts off hydraulic power to the flaps and PTU.
Hydraulic pressure is maintained to the elevators, rudder, inboard spoilers and brakes.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


6.10-16 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

6.10.4.9 Power Transfer Unit (PTU)

A Power Transfer Unit (PTU) operates as a backup hydraulic pressure to the # 2 hydraulic system.

The PTU uses hydraulic pressure from the # 1 system to power a hydraulic motor (Figure 6.10-11).

The motor then operates a hydraulic pump to pressurize the # 2 system.

Hydraulic fluid is not shared or transferred between # 1 and # 2 hydraulic systems during PTU operation.

Hydraulic fluid must be available in the # 2 system for PTU operation.

System Operation

The PTU may be selected on manually, or is actuated automatically.

Manual selection of the PTU is achieved by pushing the PTU CNTRL switchlight on the HYDRAULIC CON-
TROL panel.

A green ON legend in the switchlight turns on when the PTU generates hydraulic pressure.

Automatic actuation of the PTU occurs when:


• The park brake is selected off, and
• Flaps are selected greater than 0°, and
• # 1 EDP pressure is greater than 2400 psi, and
• Hydraulic # 2 reservoir is not empty.

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

6.10.5 # 3 Hydraulic System


The # 3 hydraulic system is an independent system (Figure 6.10-12). The system operates automatically.
During an emergency condition the left and right inboard elevator PCU’s are powered when the # 1 and / or # 2
hydraulic systems fail, or if a dual engine failure occurs.
The # 3 hydraulic system can also be engaged manually by pushing the HYD # 3 ISOL VLV switchlight on the
HYDRAULIC CONTROL panel. Once pushed, an amber OPEN legend on the switchlight will turn on.
An accumulator and an isolation valve are also installed in the # 3 hydraulic system.
A 28 V DC Motor Driven Pump (DCMP) operates automatically to pressurize the accumulator and keep the
accumulator pressurized between 2600 to 3250 psi. When the DCMP is not operating, the accumulator holds a
reserve of pressure. The volume of the # 3 system reservoir is 2.6 qt (2.46 l).
The DCMP operates intermittently and is controlled by 2 pressure switches installed on the accumulator isola-
tion valve. One switch signals the DCMP to operate if system pressure drops to 2600 psi and commands the
DCMP to turn off when system pressure reaches 3250 psi. The other switch turns on the # 3 STBY HYD PUMP
caution light if system pressure falls to 900 psi, or the DCMP has been operating for longer than 60 seconds on
the ground. Electrical power is supplied to the DCMP by the standby battery.
6.10.5.1 System Operation
Accumulator Isolation Valve
The isolation valve is used in the # 3 hydraulic system to isolate the elevators from # 3 hydraulic system pres-
sure. During normal flight operation, the system is in an active standby mode with the accumulator isolation
valve (energized) closed. When open, the isolation valve allows hydraulic pressure from the # 3 hydraulic sys-
tem to power the elevators (Figure 6.10-13). The isolation valve will open in flight if # 1 and / or # 2 hydraulic
system pressure is lost, or, if # 1 and # 2 engines fail.
The isolation valve can be manually opened when the HYD # 3 ISOL VLV switchlight is pushed, shown by an
amber OPEN legend on the switchlight.
An additional pressure switch is installed downstream of the isolation valve. It turns on the ELEVATOR PRESS
caution light if # 1, # 2 and # 3 hydraulic systems are supplying pressure to all 6 elevator actuators.
If the isolation valve malfunctions open, the # 3 hydraulic system will supply hydraulic power to the elevators,
even though # 1 and # 2 hydraulic systems are operative. The ELEVATOR PRESS caution light will turn on.
The OPEN legend in the switchlight will not turn on.
The # 3 hydraulic system supplies hydraulic pressure to both elevators when:
• # 1 and / or # 2 hydraulic systems fail
• # 1 and # 2 engines fail.

6.10.6 Alternate Hydraulic System


6.10.6.1 Alternate Landing Gear System
The alternate landing gear extension system supplies hydraulic power to extend the main landing gears when
main hydraulic power is not available.
Hand Pump
The system is operated by the alternate landing gear hand pump (Figure 6.10-14). The hand pump is located
below the Landing Gear Alternate Extension door in the flight compartment floor, adjacent to the co-pilot's seat.
A hand pump lever, behind the co-pilot's seat, must be installed into the hand pump socket to operate and
extend the landing gear, following isolation of the # 2 hydraulic system. The pump draws hydraulic fluid from an
auxiliary reservoir.
Reservoir
The alternate landing gear system reservoir is located in the nose compartment of the airplane.
The reservoir supplies the hydraulic fluid to alternate landing gear extension hand pump. The reservoir capac-
ity is 1 qt (0.95 l)
6.10.6.2 System Operation
The Alternate Landing Gear selector valve is located below the flight compartment floor and is normally in the
open position.
Opening the Landing Gear Alternate Extension door fully, closes the MLG selector valve and allows the hand
pump lever to be inserted into the hand pump socket. Stroking the hand pump lever, provides pressure to the
alternate landing gear actuators to downlock the gear to the down and locked position if it did not free fall into
position during an alternate release.
Indication
Hydraulic system pressure and reservoir quantity information are shown on the Multi Functional Displays
(MFD) in the flight compartment. The co-pilot's MFD shows data in analog format during normal configuration.
If the co-pilot's MFD malfunctions, data in digital format is shown on a composite page on the pilot's MFD. Sys-
tem malfunctions are shown on the caution and warning panel in the flight compartment.
Hydraulic system pressure and fluid quantity indications are normally shown on the co-pilot's MFD. The indica-
tions are:
• # 1, # 2 and # 3 main system pressure
• Standby pressure
• # 1, # 2 and # 3 quantity indications
• Park Brake pressure

6.11 (ATA 30) ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION

6.11.1 Introduction

The Dash 8-Q400 airplane is approved for flight into known icing conditions. Ice and rain protection includes
de-icing, anti-icing and rain removal systems.
An ice detection system supplies early indication of airplane icing conditions.

6.11.2 General

The ice detection system uses probes to actively detect icing conditions and displays ice detection information
on the flight compartment.
The de-icing system uses engine bleed air to operate conventional inflatable boot sections installed on the
leading edge surfaces of the wings, horizontal / vertical stabilizers and nacelle inlet lips (Figure 6.11-2).
The anti-icing systems use electrical heating elements to prevent ice formation. The system heats:
• leading edges of the propeller blades (de-icing)
• pilot’s, co-pilot’s and standby pitot / static probes
• left and right AOA vanes (Angle Of Attack)
• left and right engine intake flanges
• both windshields and pilot’s side window
Conventional electrically operated windshield wipers supply rain removal for the windshields.

Figure 6.11-12 Ice Detector Probe

6.11.4 Ice Detection System

There is no flight compartment control for the Ice Detection System (IDS).
The system automatically operates as soon as 115 V AC power is available.

The IDS uses 2 Ice Detector Probes (IDP) on the left and right side of the front fuselage (Figure 6.11-12).
If either IDP detects more than 0.5 mm of clear ice, it is heated with power from the related 115 V AC bus.
This de-ices the probe so that it can detect ice again.

If the REF SPEEDS switch is selected to OFF and either IDP detects ice, an ICE DETECTED message will be
flashing amber (yellow) in normal video on the ED just below the SAT indication.

If the REF SPEEDS switch is selected to INCR and either IDP detects ice, then the ICE DETECTED message
will be displayed in reverse white video for 5 s.

After 5 s of ice detection by either IDP, with REF SPEEDS switch set to INCR, the ICE DETECTED message
will change to steady white.

Selecting the REF SPEEDS switch to INCR will display an [INCR REF SPEED] message in white below the
ICE DETECTED message confirming the Stall Protection System (SPS) has been modified for icing conditions.

The ICE DETECT FAIL caution light will come on, if both ice detector probes fail.
Failure of only one probe will not cause the caution light to come on, as the system is redundant.

CHAPTER 6 6.11-17

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

6.11.5 Airframe De-icing System

Airframe de-icing can be controlled automatically or manually. Pneumatically actuated rubber de-icing boots
are bonded to the leading edges of the wings, horizontal / vertical stabilizers and nacelle inlet lips (Figure 6.11-
14). De-icing bleed air is taken from the bleed port of each engine and is available to inflate the boots regard-
less of the position of BLEED control switches.
System pressure is regulated to 18 psi and shown on the DEICE PRESS indicator, located on the co-pilot's
side panel. An isolator valve interconnects the 2 systems. A BOOT AIR switch is used to control the isolator
valve, which is normally open to ensure uninterrupted operation of either system if one engine is not operating.
The ISO position can be used to check regulated pressure in each system individually or to isolate a system
leak.
Regulated de-icer pressure is also used to inflate the forward passenger and aft baggage door seals and to
operate ejector for the pressurization system AFT safety valve.
The boots inflate and stay inflated, with pressurized air when the Dual Distributing Valves (DDV) are energized
open. When not activated, boot ports are connected to suction to deflate and hold the boots flush with the lead-
ing edges.
The AIRFRAME MODE SELECT rotary switch selects automatic de-icing, when set to SLOW (3 min) or FAST
(1 min). The selector is self-homing such that a selection to SLOW or FAST and back to OFF will complete a
full cycle.
Automatic boot inflation sequence is controlled and monitored by the Timer and Monitor Unit (TMU) (Figures
6.11-13 & 6.11-14). The TMU controls the sequence and supplies a dwell period related to the selected rate
(Table 6.11-1). Green WING, TAIL and nacelle inlet lip boot inflation lights show boot inflation sequence and
confirm correct boot inlfation pressure.

NOTE: To make sure de-ice pressure is maintained at 15 psi or greater during decent, holding and
approach, it may be necessary to increase NL by advancing the POWER levers.

Table 6.11-1 Deicer Boot Operation Sequence

Integral DDV and check valve heaters automatically come on when the:
• TMU temperature monitor parameter has not failed
• AIRFRAME MODE SELECT switch set to OFF, SLOW or FAST
• Static Air Temperature (SAT) is less than + 5°C.

If the TMU temperature monitoring parameter fails, the valve heaters stay on by default.
If the TMU heater activation parameter fails, the valve heaters will not come on automatically.
The DEICE TIMER caution light comes on if there is a failure of the TMU:
• automatic de-ice sequencer
• logic
• input disagreement

When the AIRFRAME MODE SELECT switch is set to the MANUAL position, the DDV and check valve heat-
ers come on permanently and do not cycle.
If a malfunction occurs in the automatic timer or a leak occurs in the system, the boots can be cycled manually
with the AIRFRAME MANUAL SELECT switch.
Rotating the switch through each of the 6 detent positions duplicates the automatic inflation sequence.
Each set of related boots will inflate as long as the switch stays at the set position.
The related WING, TAIL and nacelle inlet boot inflation light come on to show full inflation.
A minimum dwell time of 24 s should be observed before inflating the boots again.

NOTE: Each selection should be held until the corresponding pair of lights come on before moving to
the next position.

If a rupture or leak occurs to the pneumatic lines of either de-ice system, the affected side will have to be iso-
lated to ensure that de-ice pressure is available to the leakless side.
When the BOOT AIR switch is set to ISO, the isolation shut-off valve closes, isolating the failed side from the
functioning pressure side.
All the boots on the horizontal and vertical stabilizers are pneumatically cross connected to ensure boot pres-
sure, even if one half of the system loses pressure.
The DEICE PRESS caution light will come on if the:
• main de-ice pressure on either side is less than 15 psi,
• boot pressure does not reach 15 psi after the DDV opens,
• boot pressure stays at 15 psi after the DDV closes.

LEGEND
1. Heating Element (70% of Blade).

Figure 6.11-15 Propeller De-Ice Heating Element

6.11.6 Propeller Heaters

The propeller blade leading edges are protected from ice accumulation by electrically heated elements bonded
onto each blade (Figure 6.11-15).
Electrical power is supplied from the related 115 V AC variable frequency bus.

The propeller de-ice system is operated by the PROPs selector.


All 6 blades on one propeller are heated at the same time during a de-icing cycle.
To minimize the electrical load on the system, one propeller is heated then the other propeller is heated.
2 PROPs de-ice indicator lights, on the ICE PROTECTION panel, come on when the related propeller is
heated.
The heater cycle for each propeller is controlled by a related Timer Monitor Control Unit (TMCU).
The TMCU heater cycle ties depend on the Total Air Temperature (TAT) as shown in Table 6.11-2.

The Total Air Temperature, TAT, must be equal to or lower than 5°C for the propeller heaters to operate.
TAT is always higher (warmer) than the Static Air Temperature (SAT) with the TAT increasing as the airspeed
increases.
Therefore, with an indicated SAT of approximately 5°C and a high airspeed, the propeller heaters may not
cycle.

Table 6.11-2 Propeller Heater Cycle Times

The TMCU will heat all 6 blades of its propeller when the:
• PROP switch is set to ON
• TAT is less than or equal to + 5°C
• NP is above 400 RPM

When the PROP switch is set to the TEST position, each propeller will be heated separately for a cycle of 5 s, if
Np is above 400 RPM.
The propeller indicator lights will come on to confirm heater / timer operation.
The test cannot be started again for 30 s to prevent overheating of the blade elements.
Fuselage ice protection panels, installed on both sides of the fuselage adjacent to the propeller arc, prevent
damage to the fuselage from ice thrown by the propellers.

NOTE: The effectiveness of the propeller de-icing system can be improved and propeller vibration
reduced by operation of the propellers at 1020 RPM (Condition Lever at MAX).

If there is a failure of the propeller de-icing system, the PROP DEICE caution light will come on.

6.11.7 Engine Intake Heaters / Bypass Doors

An electric heater is installed in the intake flange of each engine.


The heaters are powered by 115 V AC variable frequency and are energized when the engine intake bypass
doors are opened.
An oil pressure switch and temperature sensor in the heater control circuit prevents heater operation when the
engine is shut down and / or air temperature is above + 15°C.
Heater operation is confirmed by the HTR segment on the ENGINE INTAKE switchlight coming on when the
doors are opened.

6.11.8 Pitot Static Probe Heat

The # 1, # 2 and standby pitot static probes (Figure 6.11-16) incorporate integral heaters which are activated
by the flight crew to prevent ice build up.
The # 1 pitot static probe heater is powered from the left 115 V AC C phase Left bus and the # 2 probe is pow-
ered from the right 115 V AC C phase Right bus.
The standby pitot static probe heater is powered from the 28 V DC Right Essential bus.
All 3 pitot static probes are controlled and monitored by separate modules of the TMCU, controlled by the
PITOT STATIC PROBE switches on the ICE PROTECTION panel.
The PITOTHEAT STBY, PITOT HEAT 1 and PITOT HEAT 2 caution lights come on when the related probe
heater is inoperative or when the related PITOT STATIC PROBE switch is set to the OFF position.

6.11.9 AOA Vane Heaters

There is no flight compartment control for the Angle Of Attack (AOA) vane (Figure 6.11-17) heaters.

The left and right AOA vanes are heated to prevent ice build up whenever variable 115 V AC power is avail-
able.

The left AOA vane is powered from the left 115 V AC B phase Left Bus and the right AOA is powered from the
right 115 V AC B phase Right Bus.

The AOA vane heaters are directly connected to their power supply through the TMU.

There is no direct caution light for an AOA heater failure.

If the Stall Protection Module (SPM) senses an AOA heater failure, it causes the PUSHER SYS FAIL caution
light to come on and the applicable STALL SYS FAIL caution light.

6.11.10 Windshield and Pilot’s Window

The left and right windshields and the pilot’s side window are heated to supply anti-icing and de-misting.

When the WINDSHIELD HEAT selector is set to WARM UP, both windshields are heated at half power from the
left 115 V AC bus.

When the selector is set to NORM, each windshield is heated at full power from its related 115 V AC bus.

When the PLT SIDE WDO/HT toggle switch is set to ON the forward part of the pilot’s side window is heated
from the right 115 V AC bus.

Anti-ice controllers control the windshield and side window heaters.

If either windshield controller fails, the WSHLD CTRL caution light comes on.

If either windshield overheats, the WSHLD HOT caution light comes on.

If the pilot’s side window overheats, the SIDE WDO HOT caution light comes on.

An overheat condition also shuts off power to the related windshield or side window heater.

6.11.11 Windshield Wipers

Each windshield is equipped with a wiper and is controlled simultaneously from a single WIPER switch on the
WINDSHIELD control panel, with positions PARK, OFF, LOW and HIGH.

Selection from LOW or HIGH to OFF stops the blades at their existing position.

When the switch is set and held at the spring-loaded PARK position, the blades resume operation at low speed
until stopped at the parked position.

An ice detector spigot is installed on each windshield wiper arm for determining the amount of ice accumula-
tion.

Momentary W/S WIPER ICE DETECT push buttons, one on each side console, are used to light both spigots
in dark conditions.

The ALTERNATE PILOT WIPER push button, located on the pilot’s side panel, provides backup capability of
activating the pilot’s side windshield wiper (Figure 6.11-4).
The location of the push button depends on the incorporation, or not, of [MS 4-126200].

6.12.1 Flight Instruments

6.12.1.1 Introduction
The Dash 8-Q400 airplane has an array of flight instruments to allow for full certification under day and night
VFR and IFR operations.

6.12.1.2 General
The Flight Data Processing System (FDPS) acquires and sends data to the Electronic Instrument System
(EIS).
The EIS displays primary flight data, navigation, engine and system parameters on 5 identical and
interchangeable active matrix liquid crystal Display Units (DU).
The 5 DUs are designated as follows (Figure 6.12-1):

• Pilot’s and Co-Pilot’s Primary Flight Displays (PFD 1, PFD 2)


• Pilot’s and Co-Pilot’s Multi Function Displays (MFD 1, MFD 2)
• Engine and System Integrated Display (ED)

The 2 PFDs and the 2 MFDs comprise the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS). The EFIS DUs display
the following flight instruments:

• Airspeed indicator (ASI)


• Altimeter
• Inertial Vertical Speed Indicator (IVSI)
• Electronic Attitude Director Indicator (EADI)
• Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI)
• Radar Altimeter

Additional instruments located on the instrument panels and glareshield include:

• Integrated Standby Instrument (ISI)


• 2 Digital Clocks
(Option - MS 4-123403)

ESCP CALLOUTS

1) MFD 1 SELECTOR (rotary action, 4 positions)


TURN - selectable positions are PFD, NAV, SYS, ENG
- ESCP provides the pilot with the ability to select any page on the MFD 1 and to control the EIS rever-
sion after display failures
PFD - selects PFD information to the adjacent MFD
- causes AVAIL (white) to appear in the center of the PFD
NAV - MFD displays a NAV page in the ARC format by default
- FULL format, WX, MAP and TCAS information may also be selected using the EFIS control panel
SYS - the electrical system page (default) is displayed on the MFD even if the opposite MFD shows
another system page
- the display of a given system page is achieved by pressing the relevant pushbutton of the ESCP
ENG - displays a digital engine page on the MFD
- same indications as on the primary ED except that AF and OSG test messages are not displayed
- if both MFDs are failed or when no MFD is selected to SYS mode, pressing and holding down on a ded-
icated system page key allows the appropriate System Page to be displayed in a composite system for-
mat on the Engine Display, replacing the ED format
- the ED displayed again when the key is released. If the All key is pressed, the ED remembers the previ-
ous selected system page and steps through the next page when ALL key is pressed
- the MFD1 selector switch is usually set to the NAV position when the pilot is the PF and to SYS when
PNF
- MFD 1 selector is still operative after an ESCP power loss

2) MFD 2 SELECTOR (rotary action, 4 position)


- same as MFD 1 reversion selector, except:
• the MFD 2 selector switch is usually set to the SYS position when the co-pilot is the PNF and to NAV
when PF
• MFD 2 selector is not operative after an ESCP power loss

3) ELEC SYS PUSHBUTTON (momentary action)


PUSH - provides a display of the electrical system page on the MFD (upper area) with MFD set at SYS
- there is no action with another push

4) ENG SYS PUSHBUTTON (momentary action)


PUSH - provides a display of the composite engine system page on the MFD (upper area) with MFD set at
SYS
- there is no action with another push

5) FUEL SYS PUSHBUTTON (momentary action)


PUSH - provides a display of the fuel system page on the MFD (upper area) with MFD set at SYS
- there is no action with another push

6) DOORS SYS PUSHBUTTON (momentary action)


PUSH - provides a display of the fuel system page on the MFD (upper area) with MFD set at SYS
- there is no action with another push

7) ALL PUSHBUTTON (momentary action)


PUSH - if MFD is set to SYS, repeated selection of the ALL pushbutton causes the MFD (upper area) dis-
play to cycle as follows: ENG, FUEL, DOORS, ELEC, ENG, etc.

NOTE: System or ALL pushbuttons are also operative when both MFDs are failed or when no MFD is
selected to SYS mode. In this case:
• continuous pressing on the pushbutton displays the selected system page on ED / DU if
operative
• releasing the push-button removes the current system page to restore the basic ENG page
• ALL pushbutton is still operative after an ESCP power loss

8) EFIS ATT / HDG SOURCE REVERSION SELECTOR (3 positions, rotary action)


- the ESCP provides the crew with the ability to control the AHRS source reversion on EFIS
NORM - each side receives their own attitude source:
• AHRS 1 for pilot side
• AHRS 2 for co-pilot side
1, 2 - selection from the NORM position either to side 1 (pilot side) or to side 2 (co-pilot side), indicates
crossside AHRS source of attitude and heading is displayed
- when both sides are selected to the same attitude source, ATT 1 / HDG 1 or ATT 2 / HDG 2 annuncia-
tion is displayed in yellow on each PFD and NAV pages

9) EFIS ADC SOURCE REVERSION SELECTOR (3 positions, rotary action)


- ESCP provides the crew with the ability to control the ADC source reversion on EFIS
NORM - each side receives their own air data source:
• ADC 1 for pilot side
• ADC 2 for co-pilot side
1, 2 - selection from the NORM position either to side 1 or to side 2, indicates crossside air data source of
attitude and heading is displayed
- when both sides are selected to the same air data source, ADC 1 or ADC 2 annunciation is displayed in
yellow on each PFD

10) ED BRIGHTNESS (rotary selector, detent at off)


ROTATE - adjusts brightness of ED
OFF - ED data will automatically revert to MFD 1 when the ED / DU is OFF or not valid for more than 1 s
and if:
• MFD 1 rotary switch is selected to NAV or SYS position, and
• IAS from ADC 1 is above 50 kt or is invalid
- when an ED automatic reversion has been performed, the ED image will remain on the MFD even if the
ED / DU becomes valid again
- the automatic reversion is cancelled as soon as the pilot operates the MFD 1 rotary selector

PFD CALLOUTS PERTAINING ADU PARAMETERS

1) ASI TAPE SCALE


- vertical scale with increments from 30 kt to 500 kt with marks every 10 kt
- tape displays ± 42 kt around actual aircraft IAS
- in case of IAS failure, the scale is removed and replaced by an open white rectangle with a red IAS FAIL
label

2) ASI DIGITAL READOUT


- it shows the aircraft's current IAS from 30 KIAS up to 500 KIAS as a rolling drum indication
- as long as IAS is received on ground at "no computed data" from the ADC, the information is still con-
sidered as valid but the digits and the needle are forced at the value of 30 kt. As soon as the IAS is
computed valid, the numerical readout will start rolling consistently with the needle
- digital readout is removed when IAS is not valid
- when the IAS is greater than or equal to VMO, the digital display changes to red
- the display returns back to white when the IAS decreases 2 kt below VMO
- when IAS is less than or equal to the low speed warning, the digital display changes to red
- the display returns back to white when the IAS increases 2 kt above the low speed warning

3) VMO SPEED CUE (red and black box)


- indicates maximum operating speed in knots
- the band starts at Vmo and extends to the top of the scale
- the band is removed when VMO is invalid and an IAS fail flag will also be displayed

4) PREDICTED AIRSPEED TREND


Predicated airspeed trend is shorter than required
- displays predicted airspeed trend of aircraft
- when the difference between predicted airspeed and actual IAS is less than 1 kt or when IAS is invalid,
it is removed from view

- indicates a manually set reference airspeed
- the position and selection of the bug is controlled through the ICP
- the ICP controls are independent between pilot and co-pilot
- speed bug is used for advisory purposes only, it is not an autopilot target
- this cyan bug moves along the IAS scale from 50 to 400 kt
- when the index value is lower than 50 kt or when no longer valid, it is removed from the display

10) IAS INDEX BUG # 2 (outline cyan)


- same principle as for index bug # 1

11) IAS INDEX BUG DIGITAL READOUTS (cyan)


- each index bug has a digital readout to give a digital value for the ICP selection. Each digital value has
a bug reminder
- the indication is out of view when selection is less than 50 kt or invalid

12) ALTITUDE TAPE SCALE


- vertical scale with increments from - 990 ft to 50000 ft with marks every 100 ft and numbers and longer
marks every 500 ft
- tape displays ± 550 ft around actual aircraft altitude
- in case of altitude failure, or if the baro corrected altitude is out of range, the scale is removed and
replaced by an open white rectangle with a red ALT FAIL label

13) ALTITUDE DIGITAL READOUT


- displays the aircraft's current altitude in 20 ft increments from negative 980 ft up to 50000 ft as a rolling
drum indication
- a black and a white hatched window comes into view when the altitude is less than 10000 ft
- for negative altitude, the numerical value will match the value pointed to by the reference line on the alti-
tude scale. A "NEG" label indicates negative altitudes and is displayed in white on the left of the lead
digit
- digits are removed when Baro-Inertial-Altitude is not valid

time (LT) displayed from 0 to 23 hrs 59 min 59 s on the 6 digit LCD. A fixed colon separates the hours from the
minutes and comes on when one of the modes is in operation.
During aircraft power-up INT is displayed on the top LCD. With GPS activated and when valid GPS data are
received, the clock automatically switches from INT mode to GPS mode. In the same way the clock automati-
cally switches to the INT mode if GPS data become invalid.
Months, days and years are displayed on the 6 digit LCD, in place of the time mode, when the DATE mode is
selected. In this selection the colon is not displayed.

2) ET SEL:
Used to select the elapsed time (ET) function. ET annunciator is displayed on the side of the ET / CHR display.
Also used to decrease the data, in one digit increments, during manual setting of the clock.
ET time corresponds to the aircraft’s flight time from take-off (weight-off-wheels, ET starts incrementing) to
landing (Weight-On-Wheels, ET stops at the value displayed).

3) ET RST:
Used to reset the ET function when the aircraft is on the ground (Weight-On-Wheels). The ET RST function is
inactive when the aircraft is in flight.
Also used to increase the data, in one digit increments, during manual setting of the clock.

4) MODE ANNUNCIATOR:
Indicates the present mode of operation:
• DT (date),
• GPS (GPS synchronization if enabled),
• INT (Internal Time / Date operation (if GPS disabled),
• LT (Local Time)

5) ET / CHR DISPLAY:
Displays elapsed time (ET annunciator displayed) or chronometer time (CHR annunciator displayed) from 0 to
99 hrs 59 min. A fixed colon separates the hours from the minutes and comes on when ET or CHR function is
active.

6) CHR:
Used to start, stop and reset the chronometer display. Overrides existing elapsed time display.
• 1st push - Start: The chronometer starts incrementing. A colon is displayed when running.
• 2nd push - Stop: The chronometer stops at the value displayed.
• 3rd push - Reset: The LCD display is zeroed and blanked.

SETTING THE CLOCK


(OPTION - MS 4-126403)
On initial power-up the clock is in INT mode. Internal UTC time is shown in the top LCD until valid GPS data
are received. If the GPS data are valid, the clock switches to GPS mode and time and date are automatically
updated.
If the GPS data are invalid, the clock stays in the INT mode and the UTC “minutes” flash. The time may then be
adjusted as follows:

Internal Time (INT) Setting


Minute setting
- The minutes increase each time the ET RST switch is pushed.
- The minutes decrease each time the ET SEL switch is pushed.
Hour setting
- Push the MODE switch, the minute digits stop flashing and the hour digits starts flashing.
- The hour increases each time the ET RST switch is pushed.
- The hour decreases each time the ET SEL switch is pushed.
Date setting
- Push the MODE switch, the DT flag is displayed and the year digits flash.
Year setting
- The year increases each time the ET RST switch is pushed.
- The year decreases each time the ET SEL switch is pushed.
Month setting
- Push the MODE switch, the year digits stop flashing and the month digits start flashing.
- The month increases each time the ET RST switch is pushed.
- The month decreases each time the ET SEL switch is pushed.
Day setting
- Push the MODE switch, the month digits stop flashing and the date digits start flashing.
- The date increases each time the ET RST switch is pushed.
- The date decreases each time the ET SEL switch is pushed.

Local Time (LT) Setting


- Push the MODE switch to display the LT flag. Set the LT time as per INT Setting above.

Normal operation
- Press and hold the MODE button (for more than 2 s), the setting rolls to LT time if LT setting is cho-
sen (the separator colon starts flashing).
- Press and hold the MODE button (for more than 2 s), the setting rolls to DATE if DT setting is chosen
(the separator colon starts flashing).
- Press and hold the MODE button (for more than 2 s), the setting rolls to INT if INT setting is chosen
(the separator colon starts flashing).

If the GPS is valid


- In LT mode, by depressing the MODE button (for more than 2 s), the setting rolls the LT time (if the
LT setting is chosen). The clock transmits on the ARINC bus only in this configuration of setting.
- In DT mode by depressing the MODE button (for more than 2 s), the clock switches in GPS mode.
- In GPS mode by depressing the MODE button (for more than 2 s), the clock switches to INT setting
mode with the DT. The LT data can be updated as described in ‘SETTING THE CLOCK’ procedure.

6.12.1.4 Flight Data Processing System (FDPS)


The Flight Data Processing System (FDPS) is central to the Avionics Suite installed in the Dash 8-Q400 air-
plane. Its main functions are to acquire and compute parameters derived from external sensors and avionics
equipment and to concentrate and route them to Avionics subscriber systems such as the:
• Electronic Instrument System (EIS)
• Flight Data Recorder (FDR), chapter 6.4
• Audio and Radio Control Display Unit (ARCDU), chapter 6.4
• Autopilot, chapter 6.3
• Stall Warning, chapter 6.3
• Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)
• and additional support systems.
It also computes and provides the Warning Tones (chapter 6.12.2) which alert the flight crew to specific events
or system failures.
Each Flight Data Processing System (FDPS 1, FDPS 2) consists of 5 modules located in 2 Integrated Flight
Cabinets (IFC 1, IFC 2) installed in the Avionics rack. 1 FDPS is located in 1 IFC.

6.12.1.5 Electronic Instrument System (EIS)


The EIS is used as a primary means of display for primary flight data (airspeed, altitude, attitude, heading,
IVSI, etc.) and navigation and includes Weather Radar, EGPWS terrain and TCAS display functions when
installed. EIS is also the primary means of display for monitoring engine and some airplane system data includ-
ing advisory during all flight phases of the airplane.
This system is divided into 2 sub-systems:
• Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS)
• Engine and System Integrated Displays (ESID)
The EIS is composed of 5 (Figure 6.12-32) identical liquid crystal Display Units (DU):
• Pilot's Primary Flight Display (PFD 1)

• FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) interfaces with all ESID DUs. There is one FADEC per
engine, with 2 redundant channels per FADEC.
• WXR (Weather Radar) interfaces with MFD 1 and MFD 2. There is one WXR in the airplane.
Each display is interconnected with the others with a feedback bus to exchange system information and pro-
vide feedback of critical parameters.
The Electronic Instrument System (EIS) calculates the position, size and value of all parameters being shown
and also controls the automatic and manual display brightness.
The Display Unit's (DU) brightness varies with changing ambient lighting conditions in the flight compartment.
To help see the display, a light detector located on the front face of each DU gives an ambient light input for
automatic brightness control.
The brightness of each DU can also be adjusted by manual brightness controls that vary the brightness from
minimum to maximum level. The DU keeps the brightness level throughout a power interruption.

6.12.1.5.1 Symbology Description

USE OF COLOUR
Display symbology uses the following colour rules:
- RED: for warning visual alert where immediate recognition and corrective or compensatory action by the
crew is required. It applies for emergency situation or red limitation exceedance, ie. Engine red line
exceedance, VMO exceedance, TCAS Resolution advisory, etc.
- YELLOW: for caution visual alert where immediate crew awareness is required and subsequent crew
action will be required. It applies for abnormal situation or yellow limitation exceedance, ie. mismatch and
AFCS caution messages, Excessive Deviation, altitude alert, cross-side source selection, Engine yellow
line exceedance, TCAS Traffic advisory, display caution message, altitude alert, etc.
- WHITE: AC actual parameter and status, advisory messages, legends, scales, AC reference, AFCS armed
modes, non-active flight plan part, bearing pointer 1, unit (on EFIS)
- GREEN: for active controlling modes / functions ie. AFCS active modes, passed test, bearing pointer 2
- CYAN: for pilot selectable parameters, ie. Selected Heading / Course / Altitude, Speed / Torque bugs,
Baro-correction / DH setting
- MAGENTA: TCAS proximate and other traffics, VOR / ILS / MLS / DME related data or pointer flight direc-
tor commands, FMS related data or pointer
Digital indications are displayed in the same colour as the associated graphic symbol when applicable.
The following additional attributes are used for EIS messages:
- FLASHING: used to provide attention getting for new messages requiring subsequent pilot action. Flash-
ing can be time-limited (for 5 s in most cases) or can be maintained until the crew action is completed.
Flashing frequency is 1 Hz with 50% duty cycle.
- REVERSE VIDEO: used to annunciate a change in an operating state of the AC that was not pilot initiated.
By its nature, this is used in a time-limited period (for 5 s in most cases). When reverse video is used, digits
or letters are in black on a uniform rectangular background of the same colour as the indication is in normal
video.
- BRACKETS: messages in between brackets correspond to flight crew instructions or required action.

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

6.12.1.12 Display Unit (DU) Failures


When a Primary Flight Display (PFD) or the Engine Display (ED) fails, its images can be manually transferred
to the Multi Function Display (MFD) as a reversionary mode using the ESID Control Panel (ESCP).
The MFD 1, MFD 2 control switch sets the desired display configuration on the Multi Function Display (MFD).
In the event of an ED failure, the display information automatically transfers to the MFD 1. This automatic
reversion occurs only if the Multi Function Display (MFD 1) on the ESCP is not set to show the Primary Flight
Display (PFD). In addition, the remaining Multi Function Display (MFD) shows both the Permanent Data Areas
as a composite image.
The Engine and System Integrated Display (ESID) Mono Mode allows the selection of a System page when
both MFD 1 and MFD 2 fail or are selected on the ESCP Control Panel to show both PFDs (Figure 6.12-35).
A permanent press on a dedicated System page key allows the appropriate System Page to be displayed in a
composite system format on the Engine Display, replacing the ED format. The ED format returns when the
push button switch is released.
If the ALL key is pressed, the ED remembers the previous selected system page and steps through the next
page when ALL key is pressed.

In normal configuration, the following data may be selected on the ESCP Control Panel for display on the
MFDs as follows:
• MFD 1: PFD, NAV, SYS, ENG
• MFD 2: ENG, NAV, SYS, PFD
When NAV is selected, the MFD displays a NAV page in the ARC format by default (Figure 6.12-36).
If SYS is selected, the Electrical system page is displayed on MFD 1, even if MFD 2 is selected to SYS and is
showing another system page on MFD 2.
A particular system page can be displayed by pressing the relevant push-button on the ESCP. There is no
change if the selected page is already being displayed.
The ALL push button when pressed cycles the displays as follows:
• ELEC (default page) (Figure 6.12-38)
• ENG (Figure 6.12-39)
• DOORS (Figure 6.12-40)
• FUEL (Figure 6.12-41)
• etc.
The ALL function is computed from the ALL discrete signal from the ESCP. This permits access to all system
pages in the event of the loss of power to the ESCP.

The auto shutdown mode blanks the image on the display when activated:
• On the PFD when the PFD image is selected on the adjacent MFD
• On the ED when the ED image is selected on MFD 1 or MFD 2

During this mode, the DU still computes the Input / Output (I/O) and displays functions, but stops the feedback
monitoring function.
A white message AVAIL is displayed in the centre of the screen if the DU is still operational, but not selected.

6.12.1.15 MFD Permanent Data Reversion


Permanent data are available on the MFDs and are displayed when the NAV or SYS page is selected. In the
normal configuration, the permanent system data are shared between the 2 MFDs as follows:
• PFCS indicator on MFD 1
• Flap angle position and hydraulic indications on MFD 2

When only one MFD is available for the display of the NAV or SYS pages, a composite image (Figure 6.12-41)
showing all permanent system data is displayed on the remaining MFD.

A display of composite image permanent system data will be displayed on the MFD:
• When a PFD or ED page is manually selected on the opposite MFD, or
• When ED is displayed on MFD 1 after auto reversion, or
• When the opposite MFD is not valid for more than 1 s.

MFD will revert to the normal mode of permanent system data display:
• When the opposite MFD is returned to SYS or NAV position, or
• 15 s after the opposite MFD is valid again.

With only the BATTERY MASTER selected on, the following EIS services are available:
• MFD 1
• ED
• MFD 1 reversion selector on the ESCP
• ALL pushbutton on the ESCP

6.12.1.18 Standby Flight Instruments


The standby flight instruments operate independently and do not interface with any other systems.

Standby Magnetic Compass


A standby magnetic compass is located at the top of the windshield center-post. The standby compass must
be used in conjunction with the compass correction card in the flight compartment acting adjacent to the com-
pass. The compass card represents the correct readings taken for normal electrical operating loads of the air-
plane (windshield heat, pitot heat, anti-collision light, etc).

Integrated Standby Instruments (ISI)


An Integrated Electronic Standby Instrument (ISI) replaces the Standby Indicated Air Speed (IAS), Standby
Altimeter and Standby Attitude Indicator. The ISI displays all three standby instruments on a single High Reso-

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.12-77

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

lution Active Matrix LCD using Vertical Tape Symbology for the IAS and Altimeter. It also provides standby dis-
play for VMO and Side-slip.

Standby Attitude Display


The standby attitude function supplies an alternate display of airplane attitude utilizing 3 internal quartz gyros
sensors and 2 silicon accelerometers. It is powered by the battery bus. An ‘ATT’ (attitude) flag indicates an
invalid display due to failure of the attitude function as detected by internal monitors.

Standby Airspeed Display


The standby airspeed function supplies an alternate display of airplane indicated airspeed in vertical tape for-
mat. It receives data from static and pitot pressure sensors utilizing static and pitot pressure supplied from the
Standby Pitot Static Probe. Data is converted into digital format allowing the ISI to compute the corresponding
conventional indicated airspeed speed. If a failure is detected by the internal monitors, the airspeed tape and
the pointer are removed and an ‘IAS’ flag is displayed. The STBY System is independent of the primary system
(ADC).

Standby Altimeter Display


The standby barometric altimeter function supplies an alternate display of barometrical corrected altitude in
vertical tape format. The ISI standby altimeter function receives data from the static pressure sensor utilizing
static pressure supplied from the Standby Pitot Static Probe. Data is converted into digital format allowing the
ISI to compute the static pressure. An ‘ALT’ (altitude) flag replaces the altitude tape in event of failure of the
altitude function as detected by internal monitors.

The Radio Altimeter (RA) system supplies data (Figure 6.12-43) directly to the Traffic Collision Avoidance Sys-
tem (TCAS) and through both Integrated Flight Cabinets (IFC 1, IFC 2) to the systems that follow:

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.12-79

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

• Auto Flight Control System (AFCS)


• Stall Protection Module (SPM 1, SPM 2)
• Primary Flight Displays (PFD 1, PFD 2)
• Solid State Flight Data Recorder (SSFDR)
• Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS)
• Central Diagnostic System (CDS)
• Warning Tone Generator (WTG)
The aircraft Primary Flight Displays (PFD 1, PFD 2) show the RA system parameters that follow:
• Above Ground Level (AGL) altitude
• RA mismatch and failure
• Analog Rad Alt
• DH status

AGL ALTITUDE
The PFD 1 and PFD 2 display altitude AGL as 4 white numbers. It shows the altitude from 0 to 2500 ft AGL.

RA MISMATCH AND FAILURE


If there is a mismatch condition, the FDPS shows a yellow RA label above the RA indication when in dual FD. It
intially flashes, then stays on steady.
If a dual RA system is installed and one Transmitter / Receiver fails, then its failure status will not be shown to
the flight crew or to the Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). Each Integrated Flight Cabinet receives the
same AGL data. If both Transmitter / Receivers fail, then its failure status will be shown on the Primary Flight
Displays.

ANALOG RAD ALT


An analog band is used to give an analog indication of AGL altitude. It moves vertically, linearly and corre-
spondingly to the AGL altitude.

DH STATUS
For Decision Height (DH) calculations, the DH knob located on the Index Control Panel is turned to set a DH
altitude. The DH label shows that the aircraft is at the selected height. When the higher DH setting is reached
the FDPS sends the DH data to the GPWS. The "MINIMUMS, MINIMUMS" aural warnings come on if the high-
est DH setting is more than 50 ft.
Each Stall Protection Module receives a discrete 500 ft altitude trip output that is used to prevent stick pusher
operation when the AGL altitude is below 500 ft.

CLOCK
The electronic clock has a quartz timebase that supplies a continuous display of Universal Time Coordinated
(UTC) or Local Time (LOC). The electronic clock can also be set to show the Elapsed Time (ET), the date or
set to the chronometer function (CHR).
There are 2 independent clocks located in the flight compartment one on each side of the glareshield. The
pilots set the type of time based information to be shown on the display using a 4 positions switch, located on
the lower left corner of the clock face.
When primary electrical power is removed, the time base is maintained by the aircraft battery bus, all displays
are blanked and the sweep-hand, if active, stops. Current parameters continue to increment with the exception
of the Chronometer and Elapsed Time functions. When primary power is restored, the upper LCD display
shows the original function data and the lower display indicates 00 00. The Chronometer sweep-hand returns
to 0 and can be re-enabled if set to start from 0.
Each clock operates independently. The # 1 Clock is interfaced directly with the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR)
and both clocks are interfaced with the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) through the Flight Data Processing System
(FDPS). The FDR normally records time from the # 1 Clock but will switch to # 2 Clock if the # 1 Clock fails.
Real time is recorded on both CVR and FDR to establish synchronization between the 2 recording systems.

6.12.2.4 Warning Tone Generator (WTG)


2 WTGs compute and provide the warning tones which alert the flight crew to specific events or system fail-
ures. The Flight Data Processing System (FDPS) prioritizes all aural warnings including the management of
GPWS and TCAS alerts.
The WTG generates 11 tones and controls the aural warning of GPWS and TCAS which generate their own
synthetic voice warnings. All tones (WTG) and synthetic voice (GPWS, TCAS) warnings are prioritized.
Both WTGs receive parameters from airplane equipment and generate and prioritize the associated tones.
The master WTG, if it is valid, transmits to the Remote Control Audio Unit (RCAU) the appropriate signal and
the RCAU amplifies the signal and outputs the tone to the flight compartment speakers and the pilots' head-
sets. The GPWS and TCAS transmit their output directly to the RCAU.
It generates the following various alerts according to the following logic:
• Engine Fire: The WTG generates a tone triggered by the Fire bell discrete from the Fire protection system
(Chapter 6.7).
• Incorrect Take-off Warning: The WTG automatically provides a tone when the airplane is not in a safe
take-off configuration (see below).
• Autopilot Disengagement: This tone is generated when the AP is manually or automatically disengaged.
The FGM transmits to the WTG the AP disengagement signal.
Simultaneously the message A/P DIS is displayed in the FMA (Flight Mode Annunciator) (Chapter 6.3).
• Pitch Trim In Motion: This tone is generated when the pitch trim is in motion for more than 3 s.
The WTG directly receives this status from FCECU system (Chapter 6.8).
• Overspeed Warning: This tone is generated when the speed exceeds VMO.
This tone is associated with a red pointer displayed on the Airspeed Indicator on the PFDs.
The VMO status is transmitted by the ADU (Chapter 6.12.1).
• Incorrect Landing Gear Configuration: The WTG provides a tone whenever the AC is in the landing
phase and when the landing gear is not Down and Locked (Chapter 6.13).
• Altitude Alert: The WTG generates this tone whenever the airplane penetrates the selected Altitude input
envelope ( 1000 ft of the selected altitude) and when it exits the Selected Altitude output envelope ( 250
ft from the selected altitude) (Chapter 6.3).
• Beta Lockout Warning: The WTG generates a tone when the Power Lever Angle is below IDLE position
while in flight (Chapters 6.22, 6.25 & 6.26).
• Master Warning tone: The WTG generates three tones, triggered by Warning and Caution Panel inputs,
whenever a RED Warning light is illuminated.
• Master Caution tone: The WTG generates a tone, triggered by Warning and Caution Panel inputs, when-
ever an AMBER Caution light is illuminated.
• SELCAL: The WTG generates this tone when the Selcal has responded to an incoming call (Chapter 6.4).

The priority of the aural alerts is as follows:


1 GPWS Warning
2 TCAS Collision
3 Fire Bell
4 Incorrect take-off Configuration
5 Autopilot Disengagement
6 Pitch Trim in Motion
7 Overspeed Warning
8 Incorrect Landing Gear Configuration
9 Altitude Alert Warning
10 Beta Lockout Warning
11 Warning Annunciation
12 Caution Annunciation
13 TCAS Traffic
14 SELCAL

AOM DASH 8-Q400


6.12-98 CHAPTER 6

[Rev. 5] 17 JUL 2012 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS

WTG 1 and WTG 2 monitor independently the required tone.


WTG 1 transmits its health status to WTG 2.
Should WTG 1 fail, it declares this state to WTG 2 which then becomes master.
If a discrepancy occurs in the tone computation between the 2 WTGs (i.e 2 different tones are generated),
WTG 1, if valid, generates the tone with the higher priority.
A WTG failure is stored and the message WTG 1/2 FAIL is displayed in the ED Advisory message location.

6.12.2.5 Take-off Warning Horn


The take-off warning horn sounds an intermittent tone in the flight compartment if a take-off is started with an
incorrect configuration existing.
The take-off warning horn sounds if there is weight on the nose wheel with both power levers advanced above
50% torque and any one of the following conditions are present:
• Inboard or outboard spoilers extended
• Elevator trim out of the take-off range
• Parking brake lever set to PARK
• One or both condition levers not at MAX / 1020
• Flaps extended more than 20° or less then 3.5°

6.12.2.6 Landing Flap Selector Switch (LFSS)


The LFSS attached to the hydraulic control panel is turned to 1 of 3 landing flap settings for the insufficient ter-
rain clearance mode as follows:
• 10° • 15° • 35°
A related indication on the hydraulic control panel comes on to show the landing flap position selection.
When the airplane flaps select lever is set at other than the Landing Flap Selector Switch setting, a "TOO LOW
FLAPS" aural alert will sound when the AGL altitude becomes less than 200 ft.
The GPWS operates in the modes that follows:
• Ground self test
• Mode 1: Excessive descent rate
• Mode 2: Excessive closure rate to terrain
• Mode 3: Descent after take-off
• Mode 4: Insufficient terrain clearance
• Mode 5: Descent below glideslope
• Mode 6: Minimum callout and excessive bank angle

6.12.2.7 Steep Approach Mode (Flap 35°)


(Option - CR 803 SO 90034)
On aircraft with EGPWS installed, the “SINK RATE” aural message is inhibited when the Steep Approach
Mode is selected.
Steep Approach Mode is activated when the GPWS Landing Flap selector switch (on the GPWS Landing Flap /
Hydraulic Control panel) is selected to 35° position and the Flap 35 Approach switchlight is pushed such that
STEEP lens illuminates.

NOTE: The Steep Approach Mode must be selected before the aircraft enters the steep approach
phase of approach to landing.

Once selected, the Steep Approach Mode may be deselected, reverting to Standard Mode, by pushing the
Flap 35 Approach switchlight (STD lens illuminates) or by selection of the flap lever to any other position from
the 35° detent.
The deselection of Steep Approach Mode causes the EGPWS to return to Standard Mode automatically.

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. 5] 17 JUL 2012

6.12.2.8 Ground Self Test


The Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) can be self tested when the airplane is on the ground.
One GPWS Annunciator Switch or the other is pushed to test the GPWS.
Allow 30 s before initiating another self test. If this time limit is not met, the GPWS will not re-initialize.
For the systems that do not supply correct data, the GPWS gives an appropriate aural alert.
Verify that the following are obseved:
1. Yellow GPWS failure annunciator on the WCP illuminates.
2. Yellow TERRAIN FAIL annunciator on each MFD illuminates.
3. Yellow BELOW G/S anunciator on each glareshield illuminates.
4. “GLIDESLOPE” voice is heard.
5. Yellow BELOW G/S annunciator on each glareshield extinguishes.
6. Red PULL UP annunciator on each glareshield illuminates.
7. “PULL UP” voice is heard.
8. Red PULL UP annunciator on each glareshield exinguishes.
9. Terrain Display Test Pattern appears on each MFD.
10. Red PULL UP annunciator on each glareshield illuminates.
11. “TERRAIN, TERRAIN PULL UP” voice is heard.
12. Red TERRAIN INHIBIT annunciator on each glareshield extinguishes.
13. Unless Self Test continues, the Terrain Display Text Pattern is removed from both MFDs, the yellow GWPS
failure annunciator on the WCP extinguishes and the yellow TERRAIN FAIL annunciator is removed from
each MFD.
A defective Internal Ground Proximity Warning Computer (GPWC) may not give an aural alert.

6.12.2.9 Cautions and Warnings


The caution and warning lights provide a visual indication to the flight crew of a non-normal condition.
The lights are housed in a panel located forward of the overhead console.
Amber caution lights turn on to indicate a caution, while red warning lights turn on to indicate a warning.
A MASTER WARNING and MASTER CAUTION light, located at eye level on the center glareshield panel,
flashes to alert the flight crew of a system fault or warning.
Simultaneously, the associated system’s caution light turns on steady or warning light flashes on the CAUTION
/ WARNING panel.
The MASTER CAUTION light is associated with one chime and the MASTER WARNING light is associated
with 3 chimes.
Pressing either the MASTER CAUTION or MASTER WARNING light resets that light.
Pressing the MASTER WARNING light also causes the fault causing panel warning light to stop flashing and
remain on steady.
If a subsequent fault occurs from another system, the MASTER CAUTION or MASTER WARNING light flashes
with the new caution light.
A caution / warning light remains on as long as the non-normal condition exists.
The FUELING ON caution light turns only when refueling or defueling is in progress, but does not cause the
MASTER CAUTION light to turn on.
All caution and warning light corresponds to the chapter in which the related system is described and arranged
similarly.
A table of all warning, caution and advisory lights and information relative to their reasons for turning on fol-
lows.

6.13 (ATA 32) LANDING GEAR

6.13.1 Introduction
The Dash 8-Q400 Landing Gear (LG) is electrically controlled and hydraulically operated. Hydraulically oper-
ated nosewheel steering gives directional control during taxiing, take-off and landing. Each main wheel has
hydraulically powered anti-skid brakes. There is also an emergency / park brake system.

6.13.2 General
The tricycle gear is a retractable dual wheel installation. The Main Landing Gear (MLG) retracts aft into the
nacelles and the Nose Landing Gear (NLG) retracts forward into the nose section. Doors completely enclose
the landing gear when it is retracted and partially enclose the gear when it is down.

A Power Transfer Unit (PTU) supplies back-up hydraulic power to the # 2 hydraulic system. If the landing gear
cannot be extended normally, there is an alternate landing gear extension method.

Advisory lights show position of gear doors and downlocks. There is also an alternate downlock verification
system. An aural warning sounds if the gear is not extended during certain landing configurations.

A Proximity Sensor Electronics Unit (PSEU) monitors and controls the operation of the landing gear compo-
nents. The nosewheels are steerable by a flight compartment hand control and by the rudder pedals.

The wheels may be equipped (customer option) with tire fill pressure gauges for quick visual means of verifying
tire pressure during aircraft walk-around.

The main wheels are equipped with anti skid multiple disc brakes. The brakes can be controlled by the brake
pedals or the EMERG BRAKE lever.

6.13.4 Landing Gear - Description

The main gear (MLG) retracts aft and has multiple disc brakes with an anti skid system (Figure 6.13-13). The
nose gear (NLG) retracts forward and has steerable nosewheels (Figure 6.13-14).

The landing gear (LG) is operated by the # 2 hydraulic system and is controlled by the landing gear selector
lever on the LANDING GEAR control panel. There is an alternate (emergency) means of extension for the
main and nose landing gear. Advisory lights give extension / retraction and fail / safe information.

Each main gear has a pair of forward and aft doors hinged to the nacelle side structure (Figure 6.13-15). When
the gear is up, all doors enclose the main wheels. With the main gear down, the forward door on each main
gear stays open.

The nose gear has a pair of forward and aft doors, which completely enclose the nose gear when the gear is
up (Figure 6.13-16). With the gear down, the forward nose doors are closed, while the aft doors stay open.

The Proximity Sensor Electronic Unit (PSEU) controls the landing gear, hydraulically operated gear doors and
related advisory lights. It also monitors Weight-On-Wheels (WOW) sensors. WOW signals prevent gear retrac-
tion while on the ground. Failure of a WOW system turns on a WT ON WHEELS caution light. Redundancy is
built in to ensure landing gear operation if there is a PSEU failure. An audible warning tone sounds, when the
gear is not down and locked with landing flap or power settings.

Ground lock pins are supplied for the main gear and an integral ground lock mechanism is controlled from out-
side the airplane for locking the nose gear. The main gear lock-pins may be kept in the forward compartment of
the forward passenger door. With the gear extended, the pins are inserted into the main gear stabilizer brace
assemblies (Figure 6.13-17).

There are also landing gear door lock pins for the nose (Figure 6.13-18) and main (Figure 6.13-19) hydraulic
doors. This prevent the hydraulic gear doors from closing.

6.13.4.1 Landing Gear Operation


LG operation is controlled and monitored from the LANDING GEAR control panel, adjacent the Engine Display
(ED). The landing gear is selected UP or DN (down) by moving the landing gear selector lever. A LOCK
RELEASE selector lever must be held down to let the gear selector lever move in either direction.
An alternate downlock verification system confirms downlock engagement if the primary downlock indication is
in doubt. 3 green downlock verification lights are located under the LANDING GEAR ALTERNATE EXTEN-
SION panel in the flight compartment floor.

Gear Warning Tone


A landing gear warning tone sounds over the flight compartment speakers if the HORN switch is held at TEST.
It also sounds if the gear is not down and locked and:

1. • flaps > 8.5°


• either engine torque < 50%
• both PLA < RATING detent

2. • both PLA < FLIGHT IDLE +12°


• KIAS < 156
• RA < 1053 ft (321 m) if it is valid

3. • one PLA < FLIGHT IDLE + 12°


• both PLA < RATING detent
• HORN switch not latched at MUTE
• KIAS < 156
• RA < 1053 ft (321 m) if it is valid

NOTE: This is the only case in which the landing gear warning tone may be muted. Engine failure at
airspeed less than 156 KIAS.

Retraction Sequence
When the landing gear selector lever is selected to the UP position, hydraulic pressure from # 2 system is
applied to the retract side of the system (Figure 6.13-20). This opens the nose gear forward doors and retracts
the nose gear, it also opens the main gear aft doors and retracts the main gear.
The aft nose gear doors are mechanically linked and close with the retracting nose gear. After nose gear
retraction, the forward nose gear doors close hydraulically. The forward main gear doors are mechanically
linked and close with the retracting main gear. After main gear retraction, the aft main gear doors close hydrau-
lically.
The advisory light sequence during retraction starts with the LEFT, NOSE and RIGHT red unsafe lights and the
amber selector handle light coming on. At the same time, the green LEFT, NOSE and RIGHT lights go off to
show the gear is not locked down. The amber door advisory lights come on to show the hydraulically operated
gear doors are open. When the landing gear is retracted and locked in the up position, the amber selector han-
dle light and red advisory lights go out. Finally, the amber gear door advisory lights go out to show all the
hydraulic gear doors have closed. No advisory lights should be on if the gear is up correctly.
The main and nose gear are held in the up position mechanically with uplocks and hydraulic pressure is
removed from the system.

Extension Sequence
When the landing gear selector lever is moved to the DN position, hydraulic pressure is applied to the extend
side of the system through the solenoid selector valve (Figure 6.13-20). The main and nose hydraulic doors
open and the main and nose gear extend. The hydraulic forward nose and aft main gear doors close after the
gear is down and locked.
The advisory light sequence during extension starts with the LEFT, NOSE and RIGHT red unsafe lights and the
amber gear selector handle light coming on. The amber door advisory lights then come on to show the hydrau-
lically operated gear doors are open. When the landing gear is fully extended and locked in the down position,
the red unsafe lights and the selector handle light goes out. Then the green LEFT, NOSE and RIGHT advisory
lights come on. Finally, the gear door advisory lights go out when the hydraulically operated doors are closed.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.13-29

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

Continuous hydraulic pressure acts on the gear when down and locked, however primary downlock is by the
overcenter locks.
If a landing gear hydraulic sequencing valve fails, or the PSEU is unable to control it, the LDG GEAR INOP
caution light comes on.

NOTE: With the LDG GEAR INOP caution light on, ALTERNATE GEAR EXTENSION procedure is to
be followed.

6.13.5 Alternate Gear Extension


The alternate extension system (Figure 6.13-21) gives a means of extending the landing gear when:
• LDG GEAR INOP caution light is on
• Landing gear indication fails
• Loss of # 2 hydraulic system pressure
The landing gear extension INHIBIT switch is installed in the flight compartment ceiling, adjacent to the main
LANDING GEAR ALTERNATE RELEASE door. Setting the switch to INHIBIT isolates all hydraulic pressure
from the landing gear system.
When the main LANDING GEAR ALTERNATE RELEASE door on the flight compartment ceiling is opened, it
mechanically opens a bypass valve in the normal hydraulic extension system and gives access to the MAIN
L/G RELEASE handle.
Pulling the handle releases the main landing gear doors and uplocks. The main gear will free fall but may not
fully extend. The LANDING GEAR ALTERNATE EXTENSION door, on the flight compartment floor, must then
be fully opened giving access to the alternate extension handpump and the NOSE L/G RELEASE handle.
Opening the door mechanically operates the MLG alternate selector valve.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.13-31

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

If the MLG does not reach the down and locked position, the extension pump handle, located behind the co-
pilot, is inserted into the pump handle socket and operated to complete main gear extension and subsequent
downlock (Figure 6.13-22).
Both the LANDING GEAR ALTERNATE EXTENSION door and the MAIN LANDING GEAR ALTERNATE
RELEASE door must be left fully open after alternate landing gear extension.
When the NOSE L/G RELEASE handle is pulled, the nose gear uplock and doors are released and the nose
gear free falls to a down and locked position, assisted by the airflow to a down and locked position.
Illumination of the appropriate gear locked down advisory lights (green), in either the primary or alternate
panel, is sufficient to conclude that the landing gear is down and locked.

6.13.6 Nosewheel Steering System

Directional control on the ground is by the Nosewheel Steering System (Figure 6.13-23), powered by the # 2
hydraulic system.

Steering control is by either the Steering Control Handle (tiller) or the rudder pedals.

The Steering Control Handle turns the nosewheel up to 70° either side of center for low speed taxi.

Steering with the rudder pedals turns the nosewheel up to 8° either side of center for high-speed taxi, take-off
and landing roll.

After take-off, the nosewheel automatically centers before retraction.

In the landing roll, the Steering Control Handle should not be used until the airplane has slowed to taxi speed.

The Steering Control Handle, located on the Pilot’s Side console, is self-centering and operates when the
STEERING switch is set to the STEERING position.

The nosewheel must be within 70° of center for the steering to work.

An index mark on the hand control shows the relative position of the nosewheel against a fixed STEERING
RANGE decal.

With the STEERING switch set to STEERING, power is directed to the nosewheel Steering Control Unit (SCU),
if the nose gear is down and locked with weight-on-wheels.

The nosewheel will revert to a passive shimmy dampened castoring mode if:
• The nosewheel angle is greater than 70°
• The SCU detects a failure
• STEERING switch is set to OFF

In the passive mode, the nosewheel will castor up to 120° either side of center.

Differential braking and / or power may be used for directional control in the passive mode.

The NOSE STEERING caution light comes on if:


• SCU detects a failure with STEERING switch set to STEERING
• hydraulic pressure detected in steering system with STEERING switch set to OFF

The NOSE STEERING caution light does not come on if electrical power is removed from the SCU.

When taxiing in reverse the STEERING switch must be selected on. However, no steering is permitted with
either the tiller or the rudder pedals.

CAUTION: While airborne with the landing gear down, if the Steering Control Handle is moved
more than ± 8° the Nosewheel Steering System may fail.

NOTE: Nosewheel steering, using the Steering Control Handle, is limited to forward taxiing only, with
the STEERING switch set to the STEERING position.

CAUTION: Do Not set the STEERING switch to STEERING if a tow bar is connected to NLG.

6.13.7 Brake System


6.13.7.1 Normal Braking
Each main wheel is equipped with a multiple disc brake unit powered by the # 1 hydraulic system. An Anti Skid
Control Unit (ASCU) modulates the application of brake pressure to each brake unit (Figure 6.13-24).
Brake pressure is applied by pushing the pilot’s or co-pilot’s brake pedals (Figure 6.13-25).
The Anti Skid Control Unit:
• Monitors wheel speed
• Modulates the brake pressure applied to each brake unit to prevent wheel lock-up
• Gives maximum braking at all levels of runway friction.
The ANTI SKID switch on the co-pilot's glareshield panel operates the anti skid system when set to the ON
position and the wheel speed is more than 10 kt.
A start up self test of the anti skid control circuits is made when the switch is moved to the ON, or momentary
TEST. The start up self test is prevented with wheel speed more than 17 kt.
If the ANTI SKID switch is held at TEST, the airplane on the ground, the INBD ANTISKID and the OUTBD
ANTISKID caution lights come on for 6 s and then go out. If the ANTI SKID switch is held at TEST in the air,
with the landing gear extended and locked, will turn on the related caution lights for 3 s.
If the ASCU senses a fault in the system, it turns on the related caution light.
The PSEU supplies weight-on-wheels and gear up and locked signals to the ASCU, to make sure that the
brakes are off until the airplane has touched down and the wheels are spinning.

AOM DASH 8-Q400


CHAPTER 6 6.13-35

AIRPLANE SYSTEMS [Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011

In conditions of low runway friction, the main gear wheels may not spin up before the ariplane's weight is fully
on the wheels. In this case, the ASCU gives a 5 s delay before brake pressure is applied. This delay is imme-
diately cancelled when wheel speed is more than 35 kt.

NOTE: Brake cooling times must be observed between a landing, or a low energy rejected take-off
and a subsequent take-off, to make sure that sufficient brake energy is available to bring the
airplane to a complete stop if the subsequent take-off is rejected.

6.13.7.2 Emergency Braking


The Emergency / Parking brake system (Figure 6.13-26) lets the brakes be applied if the normal brake system
fails, or for setting the parking brake.
An EMERG BRAKE lever on the Engine Control quadrant operates the system. The emergency / parking
brake system is powered by # 2 hydraulic system, or by parking brake accumulator pressure.
Hydraulic pressure to the emergency / parking brake system is shown on the PK BRK indicator on the PERMA-
NENT SYSTEMS AREA (PSA) of the MFD.
The EMERG BRAKE lever operates against a spring to produce a resistance proportional to the brake pres-
sure applied as the lever is pulled back. There is no differential braking and no anti skid protection when using
the EMERG BRAKE lever.
If the emergency / parking brake system is used with # 2 hydraulic system inoperative, the accumulator sup-
plies brake pressure. A fully charged accumulator is sufficient for approximately 6 applications.
The parking brake is engaged by pulling the EMERG BRAKE lever all the way back to the detent PARK posi-
tion. This turns on the PARKING BRAKE caution light on the Caution and Warning panel. The button on the
side of the handle must be pushed to release the lever from the PARK detent.

NOTE: Care should be taken when releasing the lever as considerable spring tension will force the
lever forward.

NOTE: With the parking brake set, application of engine power will cause the take-off warning horn to
sound.

A hand pump located in the right main wheel well can be used to increase the park brake system pressure.
Minimum pressure required before engine start is 500 psi.

NOTE: When starting engine # 1 first, a minimum park brake hydraulic pressure of 1000 psi is
required.

Alternatively, if an AC power supply is available, park brake system pressure can be increased by running the
SPU and the PTU.

6.14.1 Introduction

The airplane has interior, exterior and emergency lights.

There are approach and flare lights just outboard of each nacelle.

Passenger compartment ceiling lights supply emergency lighting for the main passenger aisle.

Exterior emergency egress lights are located by each emergency exit.

The emergency egress lights are used for lighting the exterior area of the airplane just outside the emergency
exits.

The 4 emergency egress lights are powered by 3 of the 4 battery packs.

The Emergency Locators, Identifiers and Markers are lighted EXIT signs that help locate the emergency exits.

- moves selected course pointer on PFD and MFD
- digital value of the course is displayed on the PFD and MFD
- variable rate tuning advances the heading several digits when the knob is rotated rapidly

2) NAVIGATION SOURCE SELECTION KNOB (rotary action)


- selects the source to be used for navigation
- indicated by the navigation source annunciator on the PFD and MFD (NAV page in both ARC and
FULL)
- selections from fully counter-clockwise to fully clockwise for both knobs are:
• MLS 1
• FMS 1 / GPS 1
• VOR 1 / ILS 1
• VOR 2 / ILS 2
• FMS 2 / GPS 2
• MLS 2
- after each power up the initial position is VOR 1 for Side 1 and VOR 2 for Side 2
- the Flight Data Processing System (FDPS) takes into account the amount of rotation to determine the
navigation mode.
In MLS 1 position, any additional counter-clockwise rotation has no effect. In MLS 2 any further clock-
wise rotation has no effect
- navigation source selection is dependent upon the aircraft configuration. If MLS is not fitted, the MLS
position is not selectable. The same is true if FMS is not installed
- If both pilots select same navaid, then the nav source annunciator on both PFDs will change to yellow.
- If pilot selects a # 2 nav source, PFD 1 nav source annunciator will change to yellow
- If co-pilot selects a # 1 nav source, PFD 2 nav source annunciator will change to yellow

• The channel number also changes to reflect the preset frequencies memory location (8 possible per label)
• If the TUNE knob is not operated within the next 5 s, the preset frequency reverts back to cyan digits
• Turn either TUNE knob to display the memorized channels one after the other:
- from the displayed channel number if a channel number is already displayed (preset frequency associ-
ated)
- from CH 1 if no channel number is already displayed (preset frequency not associated)
• Push the side key again and the preset frequency becomes the active frequency
• The channel memory number appears in green below the active frequency. This shows that the active fre-
quency is associated with a channel memory number

8) SELECTED COURSE / DESIRED TRACK POINTER


(cyan for VOR / ILS / MLS, magenta for FMS, except as below)
- in case of LOC excessive deviation during a Dual FD mode approach, scale, deviation bar and course
pointer are displayed in yellow and flash in concert with the expanded LOC scale
- when VOR / ILS or MLS (optional) is the navigation source, this indication provides the pilot with a
graphic display of the selected course knob value of the FGCP
- when FMS is the navigation source, it represents the desired flight path selected by the FMS according
to the active Flight Plan
- the symbol and the deviation bar have priority over the bearing pointers
- if the airplane heading is invalid or when no valid selected course / desired track data is received or
when the navigation source data itself is invalid, the pointer is removed
- if the FGCP fails, the selected course is made invalid by FDPS

9) COURSE DEVIATION BAR AND SCALE


(scale always white, deviation bar cyan for VOR / ILS / MLS, magenta for FMS, except as below)
- the Course Deviation Scale and Bar is part of the course pointer
- provides the crew with lateral deviation from LOC, MLS azimuth, VOR radial and FMS path
- if VOR is the selected navigation source each dot represents 5° deviation from the selected course
- if ILS or MLS is the selected navigation source each dot represents 1.25° deviation from the selected
course
- if FMS is the selected navigation source the 2 dots represent the FMS lateral scale sensitivity
- when the pointer overshoots the limit of the scale (on either part), the bar is parked. The full deflection is
reached when the bar is outside the outer dot of the scale
- in case of LOC excessive deviation during a Dual FD mode approach, scale, deviation bar and course
pointer are displayed in yellow and flash in concert with the expanded LOC scale
- when a LOC discrepancy is detected between ILS 1 and ILS 2 or between the VHF nav receiver output
and the displayed parameter during a Dual FD mode approach, a yellow flag LOC will flash 5 s then
remain steady
- in both cases, the pilot is also warned with a message in the FMA area
- in case of heading failure or when selected course is failed with ILS or MLS as nav source, this informa-
tion is still provided to the crew. In this situation the deviation scale will be displayed horizontally but
without the presence of the course pointer and / or heading scale. Otherwise the bar rotates with the
selected course pointer

PFD CALLOUTS PERTAINING TO NAVIGATION (cont’d)

10) NAVIGATION SOURCE ANNUNCIATION (related side source white, opposite side source yellow)
- indicates which navigation source is selected by the related NAV SOURCE rotary switch on the FGCP
- possible labels are: "VOR 1 / VOR 2, ILS 1 / ILS 2, MLS 1 / MLS 2, FMS 1 / FMS 2, GPS 1 / GPS 2 and
INS 1 / INS 2" according to the selection made on the FGCP
- when VOR / ILS position is selected on FGCP, ILS is the nav source when the frequency is valid and
corresponds to an ILS frequency. VOR is nav source otherwise
- when the nav source annunciation data is not valid, the indication is replaced by 4 white dashes

11) NAVIGATION FREQUENCY / FMS IDENT (cyan for VOR / ILS and MLS, magenta for FMS)
- the frequency of the VOR / ILS or MLS station is displayed
- if FMS is the navigation source, the ident of the active way-point is displayed with a maximum of 6 char-
acters
- the indication is replaced by 5 white dashes when the data is no longer valid from the relevant naviga-
tion source receiver or when the nav source data itself is invalid

12) DME DISTANCE (white digits and alphanumerics)


- for VOR, ILS or MLS it shows the distance to station information from 0 to 300 NM
- for FMS it shows distance to waypoint from 0 to 999 NM. It represents the direct distance between the
actual AC position (FMS data) and the TO waypoint regardless of whether an offset has been entered
or if the leg is an arc. The distance will increase when AC has over flown the last TO waypoint.
- for VOR / ILS, MLS and FMS the range resolution is 0.1 NM for distances to 99.9 NM and 1 NM for dis-
tances greater than 99.9 NM
- if distance is not valid from the selected FMS nav source, 3 white dashes replace the numeric value.
The same applies when DME distance is failed or DME distance is out of range or the tuned station
does not match with the selected nav source (case where same side MLS has priority over VOR / ILS)
and DME is not holding a frequency. In that case, current nav source must be ignored or the nav source
data itself is invalid
- one DME receiver is able to tune 3 stations. DME Channel # 1 is dedicated to radio-nav source from
side 1 (VOR 1, ILS 1, MLS 1 if installed), DME Channel # 2 is dedicated to radio-nav source from side 2
(VOR 2, ILS 2, MLS 2 if installed), DME Channel # 3 is dedicated to FMS use only
- pilot’s EFIS displays use information provided by DME 1 and co-pilot’s EFIS displays use information
provided by DME 2. Data displayed on pilot’s displays for VOR 1 is obtained from Channel # 1 of DME 1
and for VOR 2 is from Channel # 2 of DME 1. Similarly, on co-pilot’s side the information is obtained
from Channel # 1 of DME 2 for VOR 1 and from Channel # 2 of DME 2 for VOR 2. In case of loss of a
DME, both EFIS sides will automatically use the remaining DME receiver.

13) DME HOLD ANNUNCIATION (yellow)


- provides indication that the pilot has selected the "DME HOLD" button of the ARCDU to hold the DME
frequency for a specific DME station
- information is displayed when received valid from the same DME channel delivering the DME distance.
Dashes are displayed otherwise
- the “HOLD” indication for DME 1 is not shown on the co-pilot’s displays

14) AIRCRAFT SYMBOL (white)


- the aircraft symbol is always displayed steady in white at the center of the full compass rose represen-
tation

15) EXPANDED LOCALIZER POINTER AND SCALE (scale white, pointer magenta)
- when the ILS nav source is selected this symbol is used to display localizer deviation
- the scale is 6 times more sensitive than a normal scale and the outer marks indicate the lateral devia-
tion window for CAT II
- the pointer is displayed on the Expanded LOC scale when the LOC deviation signal is valid
- when the pointer overshoots the limit of the scale (on either part), the diamond is parked.
- the full deflection is reached when the pointer is outside the outer dot of the scale
- in case of LOC excessive deviation between 50 and 500 ft radio altitude, both pointer and scale will
flash in yellow as long as the condition is valid
- in addition, the Flight Mode Annunciator (FMA) located on the related PFD shows a LOC EXCESS DEV
message

16) VERTICAL DEVIATION SOURCE (white)


- this symbol indicates which source is feeding the glideslope deviation pointer
- "G" for ILS glide slope deviation
- "E" for MLS glide path deviation
- "V" for FMS vertical path deviation
- the label is displayed steady on top of the glide slope scale, but can be replaced by a GS MISMATCH
message

17) GLIDE SLOPE SCALE AND POINTER (scale white, pointer magenta)
- indicates to the crew the deviation from either glide slope (ILS), glide path (MLS) or vertical path (FMS)
- when no scale is activated, nothing is displayed
- when the pointer overshoots the limit of the scale (on either part), the diamond is parked.
The full deflection is reached when the pointer is outside the outer dot of the scale
- in case of G/S excessive deviation between 50 and 500 ft radio altitude, both pointer and scale will flash
in yellow as long as the condition is valid
- in addition, the FMA located on the related PFD shows a GS EXCESS DEV message
- when a G/S discrepancy is detected between ILS 1 and ILS 2 or between the VHF navigation receiver
output and the displayed parameter during a Dual FD mode approach, a yellow flag "G", flashing for 5 s
then steady is displayed on top of the scale

18) MARKER BEACON ANNUNCIATOR


(reverse video, black text on coloured background, O on cyan, M on yellow, I on white)
- marker beacon reception is automatic and the appropriate indication is temporarily displayed depending
on the received marker. It is not a function of the ILS frequency selection
- note that the 3 labels can be displayed simultaneously in a visible way during the VHF nav receiver test
(each flag will be slightly shifted laterally toward the right)

- invalid data or no data displays the digits in white

2) TRANSPONDER MODE (white)


- indicates blank, SBY, ON or ON ALT

3) SIDE KEYS (8, momentary action)


PUSH - allows 2 types of operations:
- changing of the preset code
- swapping of preset and active codes
- the above operations are done in conjunction with the TUNE knob
- if there is no action with the TUNE knob within 5 s of a side key being pushed, the selection is cancelled
- pushing on another side key within 5 s of the first push, will cancel the previous tune window and acti-
vate a tune window associated with this side key
- pushing a side key adjacent a blank area, or adjacent INT, has no effect
- when an action on a side key is not allowed, the label associated with this key flashes for 5 s
- details on how to tune windows is described on the following pages

4) IDENT ANNUNCIATOR (green)


- when the the ARCDU ID key or either handwheel located ATC IDENT pushbutton switch is pushed, it
causes the transponder to transmit an identifier for 17 s

5) IDENT KEY (momentary action)


PUSH - ID segment (green) shown in display area
- initiates transmission of an IDENT from the selected ATC
- the remote ATC IDENT switch on the flight control wheel has the same effect
- attempt to IDENT while this mode is active, or when ATC is in standby mode, will cause the ATC label
on the display area to flash for 5 s
