Click Right fuel ignition switch on and hold on.
Introduce fuel at 19% N1, continue to hold ignition switch on.
Let go of ignition switch at 52% N1.
Right generator on.
Click Left fuel ignition switch on and hold on.
Introduce fuel at 19% N1, continue to hold ignition switch on.
Let go of ignition switch at 52% N1.
Left generator on.
Set up rest as per checklist.
TAKE OFF
Prop levers full forward
Power to 100% (be careful not to over torque the engines)
Check Autofeather lights on
Rotate at appropriate speed.
Initial Climb attitude 10 degrees nose up.
Confirm positive rate of climb, gear up.
Passing 400 feet Above ground level
Power back to 90%.
Prop levers back to 1900 RPM
Adjust pitch attitude to reach target speed (pitch up to slow down, pitch down to speed up)
Climb speeds: below 10,000 - 160Knots indicated
10,000 - 15,000: - 150 Knots indicated
15,000 - 20,000: - 140 Knots indicated
20,000 - 30,000: - 130 knots indicated (only come back to this speed in clear weather, otherwise stay at 140KIAS)
30,000 - 35,000: - 120 Knots indicated
TOP OF CLIMB
Level off to allow to accelerate.
Power levers back untill fuel flow is about 300 pounds per hour
Prop levers back to 1700 RPM
Adjust power levers to bring speed to about 180Knots indicated.
TOP OF DESCENT
Calculate altitude to lose. An easy way to do this is multiply your altitude to lose (in thousands of feet) by 3. E.G. if you need to lose 15,ooo feet, you would begin your descent 45 miles out. Remember that circuit height is 1000 feet above ground level. If you wish to be at circuit altitude some distance before the airport, add that distance to that previously calculated. Begin your descent earlier if you have a tail wind, later if you have a head wind.
Keep vertical speed to about 1500 feet per minute.
Power back to about 55%.
CIRCUIT
Level off.
Props to 1900 RPM (to allow for a missed approach)
Power back to bring speed below 200Knots indicated
Downwind leg - take first stage of flap.
Bleed speed off to below 180Knots.
Abeam threshold, select gear down.
Continue downwind leg for 15 - 18 seconds (by this time you would be at about 150 knots)
Start descending as turning onto base leg.
Aim for vertical speed of about 500 - 600 feet per minute.
Turn to final leg (expect about 130 knots)
At about 300 feet above ground level, select full flap. You are commited to landing now.
Expect to be at VREF (90 - 94 knots) on touchdown (you may want to add 1/2 the gust factor to VREF if very gusty conditions)
STRAIGHT IN APPROACH
Plan to be at 1500 feet above ground level at 8 miles.
Power to 45%.
At 7 miles, speed less than 200 knots, select approach flap.
5 miles, 1500 feet above ground, 180 knots, select gear, start descent profile (500 - 600 feet per minute).
ILS
Plan to be at appropriate entry altitude at 13 miles out.
Fly the ILS as per indicated.
SHUT DOWN
Allow engines to cool for 1 minute (can count taxi time in this)
Fuel to cut off (watch N1 and ITT for transient rise to ensure no residual fuel)
Props to feather
Complete shutdown check list.
