AIRCRAFT GENERAL

The King Air is a twin engine turboprop aircraft certified under 14 CFR Part 23
standards in the Normal Category. It is an all metal, low wing aircraft approved
for operation in day, night, VFR, IFR and known icing (supplemental section) as
defined by the FAA.

FUSELAGE

The fuselage of the King Air is a semi-monocoque design made out of aluminum
alloys. The fuselage is supported with the use of various frames, bulkheads and
stringers. The wings are supported by carry-through spars.

WINGS

Wings are aluminum-alloy, semi-monocoque type supported by carry-through


spars. The wings house the landing gear, fuel tanks, flight controls and engines.
There are numerous fuel cells in each wing. Forward cells are integral to the
structure and considered a wet wing, while the rear cells are bladder form. Ice
protection is provided by pneumatic boots on the inboard and outboard leading
edges of both wings and the horizontal stabilizer.

1
NOSE SECTION

The nose section of the aircraft is separated from the cockpit by the forward
pressure bulkhead. This area is used for radar, avionics and air conditioning
components, and on some aircraft for baggage. This is also where the brake
reservoir can be serviced on the pilot’s side.

COCKPIT

The cockpit is separated from the passenger cabin by a sliding door.


Accommodations are made for two pilot stations, although the King Air is a single
pilot aircraft, allowing the right seat to be filled by a passenger, depending type of
operation being conducted (i.e. 14 CFR Parts 135 or 91.)

CABIN

The cabin section of the King Air C 90A/B is standard with club seating. This
configuration can be changed to accommodate various couch and seat positions.
In addition, a refreshment center can be located at the front left of the passenger
cabin.

2
FOYER
The foyer is the area just aft of the passenger cabin and prior to the baggage
area. This area is separated from the passenger cabin by sliding doors and from
the baggage area by a net and or curtain. The foyer houses the toilet on the right
side and cabin door on the left. The toilet may or may not be used as a
passenger seat depending on seat belt location.

AFT CABIN
The aft cabin area is usually a baggage compartment that is separated from the
foyer by net and or curtain. This area has optional seats that fold down from the
side of the compartment that can accommodate one passenger each. Baggage
limit is 350 pounds.

PRESSURE VESSEL
The pressure vessel is located from just in front of the cockpit to the rear of the
aft cabin. The pressure vessel is supported on each end with pressure
bulkheads. Spaces forward of the cockpit and aft of the baggage compartment
are un-pressurized.

REAR ACCESS
Aft of the pressure bulkhead is where the oxygen system cylinder and ELT are
located along with various flight control cables, connectors, bellcranks and
pulleys. This area is accessible and serviceable only by maintenance.

MAIN CABIN DOOR


The main cabin door is located on the left rear of the aircraft. Three steps extend
when the door is opened. The door is hinged at the bottom and connected to a
cable on the forward side which is spring loaded to aid in closing the door. There
is also a hydraulic damper on the aft side which aids in opening the door.
Opening and closing the door is accomplished through the use of a handle on the
interior and exterior. This handle can not be moved until the adjacent button is
pushed. This button releases the door handle and senses differential pressure
as well. If the cabin were still pressurized the button would be hard or impossible
to depress.

3
Note: There should only be one person at any given time standing on the
airstair. Load limit is 300 lbs.

EMERGENCY EXIT
An emergency exit located on the right side forward cabin area. This door is a
piano hinged door that hangs on the exterior side of the aircraft when open.
There may be a locking mechanism installed which would keep the aircraft
secure from the outside in the event the aircraft was to be in an unsecure
environment unattended. This lock must be un-locked prior to flight.

4
ENGINE

The King Air C 90A/B is powered by two Pratt & Whitney PT6A-21 (550shp)
engines (Blackhawk 135 motors 750/550hp optional). The PT6A is a reverse
flow, turbo prop engine which incorporates a free turbine between the
compressor (N1) section and the propeller (N2) section. Different variants of this
engine date back to the 1960’s and range from 450 shp to 1300 shp on the
PT6A-68A.

AIR INTAKE

The air intake is located on the rear of the engine. Air is routed to the rear of the
engine compartment by an air intake in the forward engine nacelle. This air
enters the engine through a circular screen that encases the rear of the engine
section just in front of the accessory section of the engine. The air then enters
the compressor section of the motor.

COMPRESSOR SECTION

This section is comprised of a three stage axial compressor, followed by a single


stage centrifugal compressor. This section is used to compress incoming air for
the purpose of combustion, and to provide various services (P3 air) on the
aircraft, including pressurization, environmental air, de-ice boots and vacuum for
instrument and de-ice boots.

This section also houses the compressor bleed valves. These valves release
pressure between the axial compressors and the centrifugal compressor thus
avoiding compressor stalls. These valves are open at low N1 settings and close

5
at approx. 90% N1. Failure of these valves at low power settings would result in
compressor stalls, while a failure to close at high power settings would cause a
loss in power and an increase in ITT.

COMBUSTION SECTION

The combustion section of the PT6A is an annular, reverse flow type which
provides for a smaller engine size and quieter operation. Inside the combustion
chamber are 14 fuel nozzles and two igniters.

TURBINE SECTION

The turbine section consists of two turbines. There is a single stage power
turbine that extracts energy to run the compressor section and the accessory
sections, located aft. The next turbine is a free turbine, with no direct connection
to the first stage power turbine. This turbine powers the propeller (N2) and its
accessories via the reduction gear box section, located in the forward section of
the engine.

EXHAUST SECTION

The exhaust section of the engine is located just aft of the reduction gear box
and propeller. The exhaust is routed through two circular exhaust stacks that exit
the cowling at the nine and three o’clock positions. Exhaust gasses are used to
heat the air-inlet of the engine cowling.

REDUCTION GEAR SECTION

The purpose of the reduction gear section is to reduce the turbine rpm down to a
reasonable figure to drive the propeller section of the motor. This is
accomplished through the use of a planetary gear drive which reduces turbine
rpm at a rate of 15:1. Also housed in this are the prop governors, torque meter
sensing and prop tach generator.

ACCESSORY DRIVE SECTION

The accessory drive section is housed on the aft portion of the engine and drives
various components including:

 Fuel pump/fuel control unit


 Oil pumps
 Starter/Generator
 N1 tach generator

6
ENGINE LUBRICATION

Lubrication is provided by a dry sump oil system which is equipped with pressure
and temperature indicators, along with a relief valve in the case of filter stoppage.
Oil serves a number of different purposes on the PT6A:

 Cools
 Cleans
 Seals
 Lubricates
 Engine Health Indicator

OIL TANK

The oil tank is integral to the engine casing and found on the rear section of the
engine in between the compressor intake and the accessory section of the motor.

Capacity (system) 14.0 quarts


Capacity (tank) 9.0 quarts
Undrainable 1.5 quarts
Refill Capacity 12.5 quarts
Operating Range Full to 4.0 US quarts low

Note: Do not mix oil brands, as specified in Maintenance Manual

PUMPS

Through the use of one pressure element and four scavenge elements the
system provides lubrication for all bearings, accessory drive gears, reduction
gear case, propeller control system and torque limiting system.

OIL COOLER

An oil cooler is located under the engine in the air intake duct. This oil cooler is
controlled automatically through the use of a thermostatic switch. The pilot has
no direct control over the oil cooler.

7
OIL PRESSURE & TEMPERATURE INDICATING

Both oil pressure and temperature readings are taken on the accessory section
of the engine and are indicated in the cockpit on one gauge that reads both
pressure and temperature. This gauge is 28 v DC.

CHIP INDICATION

A magnetic chip detector is found on the bottom of the reduction gear drive. This
detector consists of a plug with two poles that are separated. Any closure of this
separation will light an amber annunciator in the cockpit, alerting the pilot that
metal parts in the gear box could cause significant damage to the engine.

FUEL HEATER

Fuel lines are heated through an oil to fuel heater. The source of this hot oil is
the scavenge return from the accessory drive to the tank.

IGNITION

The ignition system in the aircraft is controlled in two different modes. There is
an Ignition and Engine Start switch and an Engine Auto Ignition switch. The
ignition system consists of one exciter box per engine with two ignitors. The
ignition and engine start switch is used to both start rotation of the motor and turn
on ignition by lifting the switch to the top position, or starter rotation only in the
bottom position. The second switch is the Engine Auto Ignition switch. This
switch has ARM and OFF modes. In the Arm mode, the ignition is activated by
sensing a torque drop below 400 foot-pounds. Above this limit, the ignition is
automatically turned off. This switch should be armed for all phases of flight,
including takeoff and landing and only turned off when clear of the runway after
landing.

9
PROPELLER SYSTEM

The King Air C-90A/B is equipped with full feathering, Hartzell, four bladed
propeller system. Through the use of power, propeller and fuel cutoff levers the
propellers are controlled throughout the constant speed, feathering, beta and
reversing modes. Normal governing range is 1800-2200RPM.

FEATHERING

Feathering or coarse pitch is accomplished through the use of counter-weights


connected to each blade root and internal spring pressure in the propeller dome.

UNFEATHERING AND REVERSING

Unfeathering and reversing or fine pitch are accomplished through the use of
engine oil via a high pressure oil pump located in and integral to the primary
governor.

CONSTANT SPEED THEORY

Constant speed propellers operate in three different and distinct modes:

ONSPEED – Onspeed is the condition referred to when the speeder spring and
the flyweights found within the primary governor have equal forces.

OVERSPEED – Overspeed is the condition most likely to happen in the initial


stages of a descent, where the propeller starts to accelerate beyond the desired
rpm. When this is occurring, the flyweights have become out of balance with the
speeder spring forces. In this condition, the position of the counterweights will
allow oil to leave the prop dome by raising the pilot valve and try to establish a
balance between the speeder spring and the counterweights.

UNDERSPEED – Underspeed is the condition most likely to happen when a


climb is initiated or moving the power levers aft to the ground fine or reverse
mode while on the ground. At this point the propeller is rotating at less than
desired speed. This would be the case during landing and moving the power
levers to the reverse position. In this condition the speeder spring forces are
greater than the flyweights causing the governor’s pilot valve to move down and
allow more oil to enter the prop dome, driving the blades flat and then into the
negative range.

10
Note: It is important to understand that the primary governor controls propeller
pitch while in the air via the prop levers. While on the ground the power levers
control propeller pitch via the beta valve.

PROPELLER GOVERNORS:

PRIMARY GOVERNOR

The primary governor controls the propeller from a range of 1800 - 2200 RPM.
The primary governor is what is manipulating the propeller pitch via the forces of
the speeder spring and the counter weights. The speeder spring and
counterweight forces move the pilot valve allowing more or less oil to enter the
propeller dome. This governor is located just aft of the propeller dome on the top
of the engine.

OVERSPEED GOVERNOR

The overspeed governor is preset to 2288 RPM. In the event that the primary
governor fails, the overspeed governor has a preset tension on the speeder
spring to allow oil to exit the prop dome and decrease prop RPM by increasing
pitch.

11
FUEL TOPPING GOVERNOR

This governor is activated by a failure of the prop blades to react to normal inputs
via the prop levers (stuck blade, bird strike, etc). The FTG reduces fuel flow to
the engine by venting air pressure from the fuel control unit. This in turn reduces
the fuel flow. The FTG is preset to bring the prop RPM to 106% of the selected
RPM.

Note: The FTG utilizes the same flyweights and pilot valve mechanism of the
primary governor. In the event of a primary governor failure, the FTG would also
be disabled. This would leave the overspeed governor (2288 RPM) to take
control of the propeller.

BETA MODE

Beta (Ground Fine) mode serves as a way to reduce residual thrust on landing
roll out and during taxi. By moving the power levers aft into the ground fine and
reverse modes, the beta valve moves forward and allowing more oil into the prop
dome, thus driving the blades to flat pitch and on into reverse blade angles. The
beta and reverse modes are very limited in the amount of pitch change to the
propeller.

Note: Moving the power levers aft in flight to the ground fine mode and into
reverse is prohibited and may cause the aircraft to become uncontrollable.

12
CONDITION LEVERS

The condition levers are on the right side of the center pedestal next to the
propeller levers. The condition levers are mechanically connected to the fuel
control unit. The condition levers have a Cutoff position as well as Low Idle and
High Idle. Cutoff will shut off fuel to the engine via the fuel control unit. In the
Low Idle position fuel is scheduled to the gas generator to maintain an N1 of
58%. In the High Idle position fuel is scheduled to the gas generator to maintain
an N1 of 70%.

PROPELLER LEVERS

The propeller levers are located in the center of the throttle quadrant between the
power and condition levers. The propeller levers control the propellers via the
primary governor. They are able to control the propeller through a range of 1800
– 2200 RPM. In addition to controlling the propellers through the primary
governor, they also allow the pilot to select the feather position, dumping oil from

13
the prop dome and moving the prop blades to the feather position (coarse pitch
position).

Note: It is a recommended procedure to move the propeller levers to the feather


position during shutdown.

POWER LEVERS

The power levers are located on the left side of the center pedestal and control
the fuel control unit as a means control power setting inputs from the pilot.
Power levers also control the beta valve while on the ground with aft movement
of the power levers into the ground fine pitch and reverse modes of operation.

AUTOFEATHER

An autofeather system is standard equipment on the B200 and C90A/B/GT, while


it was an option on earlier model 90’s and 100’s. The autofeather system utilizes
a dump valve located on the overspeed governor to rapidly drain oil from the
prop hub and allow the springs and counterweights to force the propeller to the
feather position.

14
Autofeather is armed via one switch on the lower left side instrument panel. This
switch has an ARM, OFF and TEST position. Moving the switch to the ARM
position allows the system to be armed by moving the throttles forward. By
moving the power levers forward to a position that equals at least 90% N1 the
switches will be closed, thus arming the torque switches. When both engines
reach 400 foot pounds of torque or greater, the opposite side autofeather system
is armed.

There are three conditions that must be met to fully arm the autofeather system:

1. Autofeather switch in the ARM position


2. Both power levers above 90% N1
3. Both engines developing more than 400 foot pounds of torque

AUTOFEATHER OPERATION

In the event of an engine failure, when the torque on the failing engine drops
below 400 foot pounds, the opposite engine’s autofeather circuit will be
disarmed. When the torque continues to drop and reaches 200 foot pounds of
torque or less, the dump valve located on the overspeed governor will activate
and allow oil to exit the prop dome, thus allowing the prop to go to the feather
position.

AUTOFEATHER TESTING ON THE GROUND

By holding the autofeather switch to the test position while on the ground and
with the condition levers in the low idle position, the 90 % N1 switches in the
throttle quadrant are bypassed allowing all three of the conditions to be met to
test the system without bring engine power up to 90 % N1.

Bring both throttles to approximately 500 foot pounds of torque while holding the
autofeather switch in the test position. Slowly bring a throttle lever back to idle.
As the throttle drops below 400 foot pounds of torque, the opposite side
autofeather will be disarmed. As torque continues to drop below 200 foot
pounds, the failing engine’s propeller will go into the feather position via
movement of the dump valve.

Note: It may not be possible to test the autofeather system with the condition
levers in the high idle position, as 200 foot pounds of torque could not be
achieved.

Note: It is important to test both the autofeather and the manual feathering
systems as they activate feathering of the propellers via a different valve (Pilot vs
Dump).

15
PROPELLER SYNC

SYNCHROSCOPE

There is a white and black disk located on the lower right side of the pilot’s
instrument panel. This disk allows the pilot to sync the propellers manually by
stopping the rotation of the disk, as the disk rotates in the direction of the fast
propeller.

Type II Prop Sync

The type II system is an electronic system that can be left on for all flight
operations. While the previous type I prop sync system utilized a master (left)
and slave (right) prop that required the prop sync to be turned off for takeoff and
landing, the type II system installed on all C90A/B aircraft does away with this
limitation. After matching prop speeds to within 10 RPM of each other, the prop
sync may be turned on, and the system will automatically increase the speed of
the slower rotating prop while simultaneously decreasing the speed of the faster
propeller. The system will never reduce RPM to a lower level than set by the
prop lever.

16
ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION

ITT (INTER-TURBINE TEMPERATURE)

ITT is displayed on the instrument panel in the top position among all of the
engine gauges. The ITT is derived from the T5 station in between the gas
generator turbine and the first power turbine. There are 8 thermocouples
situated around the turbine. These probes are connected in parallel to provide
an average reading to the pilot.

TORQUE METERS

Engine power is measured in foot pounds of torque and sent to a torque meter
gauge in the cockpit. The torque is measured within the planetary reduction gear
assembly. The first stage of this planetary gear can move both forward and aft
depending on torque reactions. This fore and aft movement is referenced by a
torque meter chamber and transmitted to the cockpit via an AC or DC signal.

PROPELLER RPM
Propeller RPM is measured at the prop hub and sent to a gauge in the cockpit.
Propeller RPM is considered N2.

ENGINE RPM (N1)


Engine RPM is referred to as N1 and is measuring the speed of the gas
generator in percent RPM.

17
FIRE DETECTION AND SUPPRESSION

FIRE DETECTION (optional)

Fire detection is accomplished by three photo cells located in each engine


nacelle. The photocells sense infrared color present in fire. Once detected, a
signal is sent to the cockpit to illuminate a FIRE L ENG OR FIRE R ENG (L ENG
FIRE OR R ENG FIRE). This system is susceptible to false warnings on
occasion due to ambient lighting conditions such as sunrise and sunset, when
low sun angles strike the photo cells through light leaks in the cowling. The
infrared light of the sun may trigger a false warning. A change in bank or
heading of five degrees will usually alleviate any false warnings.

18
FUEL SYSTEM

Engines are supplied fuel by left and right fuel systems that can be connected via
a cross-feed switch. Fuel capacity is 384 usable gallons. Each nacelle tank
holds 61 gallons, while the wing tank system holds 131 gallons.

NACELLE TANKS

The nacelle tanks are located aft of the engine nacelle and serve as a “hopper”
tank that all fuel going to the respective engine must go through (crossfeed is an
exception to this). In each nacelle tank there is an electric boost pump that is
controlled via the fuel panel. The boost pump is run prior to engine start until
after shutdown. This electric pump is the primary means to supply the high
pressure fuel pump a constant supply of fuel. Each nacelle carries 61 gallons of
fuel and has a filler cap on top of the nacelle. The nacelle tank is fed from the
inboard transfer tank via a transfer pump.

19
INBOARD TRANSFER TANK

This tank is the inner most tank of the wing tank system. All fuel from the wing
tank system will naturally gravity feed into this tank. Once fuel has reached the
inboard transfer tank, it is pumped out via an electrically driven impeller pump,
labeled the transfer pump on the fuel panel. The transfer pump is turned on after
engine start and remains on until the wing tank system is empty or the transfer
pump becomes inoperative (identified by a no fuel transfer light with fuel
remaining). All fuel from this tank is transferred into the nacelle tank. In the
event that the transfer pump becomes inoperative, a no fuel transfer light will
illuminate on the annunciator panel. In this case, 28 gallons will be unusable, as
it is below the level of the nacelle tank.

Under certain circumstances, you may run the wing tank system dry and operate
on the nacelle fuel only. In this case, the no fuel transfer annunciators will
illuminate and the transfer pump should be turned off on the fuel panel. This will
also turn off the no fuel transfer lights.

CROSSFEED

Crossfeed can be selected manually or if in the auto position, it is activated with


the loss of fuel pressure on one side of the system. When crossfeeding, an
annunciator will illuminate. The crossfeed switch is located on the lower right
side of the fuel panel. This switch when put in the open position will simply open
the crossfeed valve, connecting the left and right side fuel systems. De-selection
of the boost pump on one side will allow fuel from the opposite side to supply fuel
to both engines. This switch is labeled “closed, auto & open”. Crossfeed is only
allowed during low fuel pressure scenarios and single engine operation.

20
HIGH PRESSURE ENGINE DRIVEN FUEL PUMP/FUEL CONTROL UNIT

The high pressure engine driven boost pump is driven from the accessory gear
drive section of the engine and co-located with the fuel control unit. This pump
supplies the combustion chamber with high pressure fuel to sustain engine
operation through atomization. This pump is supplied fuel by the electric boost
pump in the nacelle tank. In the event of a lack of supply pressure from this
electric boost pump, the crossfeed system will open, allowing fuel pressure from
the opposite side electric boost pump. This is only the case if the crossfeed
switch is in the auto position. There is a ten hour limitation on the HP Engine
Driven Fuel pump with the “fuel pressure low” annunciator illuminated on the
respective side.

The fuel control unit takes various inputs to include P3 bleed air, ambient air,
condition and power lever positions. The FCU functions as a governor and

21
regulates the amount of fuel going to the engine. The high pressure engine
driven fuel pump and the fuel control unit are considered one piece of equipment.

Note: A loss of the high pressure engine driven pump would cause an
immediate flame out and restart would not be possible.

FIREWALL SHUTOFF VALVES

The firewall shutoff valves are powered by triple fed bus. These valves are
controlled by guarded switches on the fuel control panel.

FIREWALL FUEL FILTER & DRAIN

There is a fuel filter and drain co-located between the low pressure engine driven
boost pump and the fuel heater. This filter has an integral bypass to allow fuel to
reach the engine in the event of a clogged filter. There is no indication of this
occurring in the cockpit.

FUEL HEATER

Fuel is heated via an oil to fuel heat exchanger. This action is thermostatically
controlled and will bypass the heating element in the event that the fuel reaches
90 degrees F.

FUEL PURGE SYSTEM

Aircraft with serial numbers subsequent to BB 666 are equipped with a fuel purge
system. This system depletes remaining fuel from the fuel supply prior to the
combustion chamber on engine shutdown. By allowing P3 bleed air to enter the
fuel line, remaining fuel is forced into the combustion chamber and burned during
shutdown. This is the reason for the brief acceleration of the engine during
shutdown.

FUEL INDICATING

There are a total of eight fuel capacitance measuring probes throughout the fuel
system on each side which send signals to the fuel control panel tank gauges.

Fuel gauges indicate total fuel unless the toggle switch located on the fuel panel
is moved to the Nacelle position, at which the gauges will read the amount of fuel
located in the nacelles only.

22
ANTISIPHON VALVE

There is an antisiphon valve located at each filler point to avoid fuel loss due to
filler cap loss or improper securing of the cap.

FUEL VENTING SYSTEM

There are two vents for each wing tank. One is a recessed NACA vent to
prevent icing and the other is a protruding type vent which is electrically heated.

FUEL DRAINS

There are a total of 6 drains. Five are sump drains, one is a filter drain.

CROSSFEED

Crossfeed on the C90 King Airs is tied in with the Low Fuel Pressure indicating
system. The crossfeed switch has three positions: Closed, Auto, Open.

The crossfeed valve can be moved manually by selecting the Closed or Open
position.

The Auto position will allow the crossfeed valve to sequence open automatically
in the event of a boost pump failure on each side. Once low pressure is
detected, the crossfeed valve will open and allow boost pump pressure from the
opposite side to feed the High Pressure Engine Driven Pump on the side that
indicated low fuel pressure.

Crossfeed is to be used in the event of a low fuel pressure or engine out


operations only.

Note: See limitations section of AFM regarding fuel system limitations.

23
24
ELECTRICAL

The King Air C90A/B has a 28 volt DC electrical system, with a battery, two
starter/generators and two static inverters (AC Power) supplying power to all
aircraft electrical systems. It is commonly referred to as a triple-fed bus electrical
system.

BATTERY

One 24 volt DC battery is housed in the upper wing root section of the right wing.

If equipped with a NiCad battery, a thermostatically controlled vent valve is


located on the underside of the wing allowing battery cooling. In addition, a
BATTERY CHG amber annunciator warns the pilot that the NiCad battery is
taking too much of a charge and may be in jeopardy of overheating or runaway
voltage. It is normal to see this indication following an engine start, but it should
extinguish prior to takeoff. In the event that illumination occurred during flight the
battery switch should be turned off and the pilot should refer to the checklist.

The gel cell lead acid battery will have an additional gauge on the overhead
panel to display battery charge or discharge rates. This gauge shows readings
from -60 amps - + 60 amps. The charge rate should be 0 to + 10 amps for
takeoff.

25
BATTERY CONTROL

The battery switch is located on the lower left side of the pilot’s instrument panel
under the gang bar. The battery switch directly controls the battery relay, either
opening or closing it. The switch is an ON or OFF toggle.

STARTER/GENERATORS

Each engine has its own 30 vdc starter/generator which is rated @ 250 amps. It
is regulated to 28.25 volts with the use of a GCU (Generator Control Unit).

Note: Any of the three (battery, or either starter/generator alone) can supply the
entire aircraft with electrical power. The battery would obviously have a limited
life.

LIMITATIONS

GENERATOR CONTROL UNITS

GCU’s are the logic device to control each generator. Each GCU has its own
GEN LINE CONTACTOR (relay) that either connects or disconnects its generator
to its respective main bus. GCU’s do a number of things:

1. Voltage Regulation (28.25 + or - .25 volts)


2. Paralleling between generators
3. Reverse current protection
4. Feeder fault protection

GENERATOR COCKPIT INDICATIONS

Whenever a generator is off-line with power on the aircraft a L or R DC GEN


amber annunciator will illuminate.

26
On the overhead panel, load meters display generator load in terms of
percentage of capacity. A voltmeter selector switch toggles between External
Power, Center Bus, R and L Generator Busses, and Triple Fed bus voltage.

GENERATOR COCKPIT CONTROLS

Generators are controlled by the pilot by two toggle switches located on the lower
left side of the pilot’s instrument panel. These switches are co-located with the
battery switch. Each generator control has OFF, RESET, and ON positions. To
reset a generator, the switch must be held in the reset position for at least one
second to avoid tripping the opposite generator.

GROUND POWER

The ground power receptacle is located just outside the right engine nacelle
under the forward portion of the wing. Ground power units are required to be
28vdc and have 1000 amp soft start capability. An amber EXT PWR annunciator
will illuminate with the physical contact of a GPU. A control switch on the pilot’s
left subpanel controls the external power relay switch. To close the relay, place
the EXT PWR – ON/OFF switch into the ON position.

Note: The battery switch should be turned on to avoid damage to the avionics.
Voltage is required to open the avionics relays, as they are normally closed with
no power on the aircraft.
Note: Battery must be at least 20 volts prior to plugging in Ground Power.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OPERATION

The battery is connected to the five bus electrical system via a Battery Relay to
the Triple-fed bus and a Battery Bus Tie to the Center Bus. Both of these relays
are controlled by the battery switch. Additionally, the BBT can be opened
automatically by a high rate of dishcharge (battery only source of power). Power
is distributed from the Center bus through Left and Right Bus Ties. These ties
are controlled through HED’s (Hall Effects Devices). The HED’s will sense any

27
high currents and open the Bus Ties in an effort to protect its respective side of
the electrical system (Left and Right Generator Busses).

BUS TIES

On the pilots left sub-panel is where the Bus-Ties can be manually controlled and
tested. One switch labeled Bus Sense, when put in the test position will test the
ability of the sensors to open all bus ties. This will illuminate the respective bus
tie open annunciators. A reset position is also provided to close the bus ties after
testing. A Gen Ties switch is also located to the right with three positions. Norm
position is the default position in the middle, while the Open and Man Close
positions are toggled top and bottom to control the bus ties.

In the event of a generator failure, the entire aircraft can still be powered; given
the current limiters are intact. The current limiters are on either side of the
isolation bus and provide a means for electricity to power its opposite side
generator bus in the event of a generator off-line.

CURRENT LIMITERS

It is important to know the condition of current limiters. Current limiters are a


slow blow fuse that protects the generators from big amp loads. A blown current
limiter can be identified any time there is one generator online. In the event that
the current limiter on the same side as the in-op generator is blown, a 0 volt
indication would be seen on the overhead volt meter for the corresponding
generator. In the event that the opposite current limiter was blown the volt meter
would read 24 volts (battery voltage).

Note: It is important to test current limiters after engine start and on shutdown.
Current limiters are located in the floor board just aft of the cockpit and are
routinely easy to change. Some operators will carry extra current limiters, as
they can blow unexpectedly.

AC POWER SYSTEM

Power is supplied by two inverters which produce both 26 vac and 115 vac. 400
hertz is the normal operating power for each inverter. Inverters are located just
outboard of each engine nacelle in the underside of the wing. Each inverter has
a venting system on the bottom of the wing.

28
INDICATING

The AC system can be monitored on the overhead panel on a gauge that reads
both frequency and volts. Frequency is normally indicated while pushing a
button on the bottom of the gauge will display volts on the lower scale.

In the event of an inverter failure a red INST INV annunciator will illuminate. This
should alert the pilot to switch to the remaining inverter and monitor all flight
instruments in the cockpit to verify aircraft control.

LIMITATIONS

29
LANDING GEAR AND BRAKES

Conventional tricycle landing gear are hydraulically actuated in the C90A/B. The
main gear and nose gear are both a straight shock strut type of gear, which
dampens landing forces by pushing the lower strut into the upper strut. All gear
doors are mechanically linked to the landing gear struts with the use of roller
wheels. The main gear will extend rearward, while the nose gear will extend
forward.

The landing gear are actuated by a hydraulic power pack that is electrically
powered. This power pack is located in the wing section between the fuselage
and the left engine nacelle. The power pack has a fill reservoir that can be
serviced in the wing area.

The main gear are held down and locked by a mechanical hook and plate
attachment, while the nose gear is held down by a mechanical lock on the nose
gear actuator and over-centering brace on the drag leg assembly. The gear are
held in the up position with the use of hydraulic pressure. Normal system
pressure is 1850 psi. When the pressure drops to approximately 1600 psi, the
pump will come on automatically and pressurize the system enough to hold the
gear in the up position.

Note:
There is a HYD FLUID SENSOR light just below and to the right of the gear
handle. This light will alert the pilot that the hydraulic reservoir is low and needs
to be serviced. This light can be tested by pushing it in.

CONTROL

Control of the landing gear is accomplished through the gear handle on the lower
pilot’s instrument panel. This handle has a J hook that engages via a circuit on
the right main gear while on the ground. This prevents inadvertent gear
retraction while on the ground. The gear handle has two red lights within that
illuminate whenever the gear is not in the retracted or extended position. There
is also three green lights to confirm that the gear is down and locked. This
handle has detents at both extreme positions. A DOWN LOCK REL button is
next to the gear handle in the event that the J Hook does not release after takeoff
and the gear must be retracted.

The red lights within the gear handle can be tested by pushing the HD LT TEST
button next to the gear control.

30
NOSEWHEEL TOWING AND STEERING

Tow limits on the nose gear are visible on the front of the gear. These limits
should be observed at all times. In the event that the aircraft is towed without
supervision, a preflight check of the rear of the strut can verify that no tow limits
have been exceeded. A soft metal bar is mounted such that if the tow limits were
exceeded it would break off or distort.

Ground steering is possible through the rudder pedals. A direct link via cables
and linkage from the rudder pedals to the top of the gear assembly allows 14
degrees left and 12 degrees right steering. These angles can be greatly
increased with the use of differential braking and power. Steering the nosewheel
while stationary is extremely hard. Forward motion is necessary to smoothly
control the aircraft direction.

31
EMERGENCY EXTENSION

In the event that the hydraulic power pack fails or an electrical failure on the
aircraft, the gear can still be lowered with the use of the alternate gear handle
located on the cockpit floorboard next to the throttle quadrant.

The landing gear relay CB must be pulled. Landing gear control should be down.
Pump handle until 3 green are visible. While pumping, do not lower the handle to
the stowed position as this will release hydraulic pressure. Once three green are
visible, stow handle. If three green are not visible, keep pumping until resistance
is felt.

GEAR WARNING

There is a gear warning horn that will sound when the power levers are
positioned such that level flight could not be achieved. The horn will sound in
addition to the illumination of the red lights in the handle. This horn can be
silenced with a button next to the gear handle. Although the horn will silence, the
red handle lights will remain illuminated. The gear horn will be reset once the
power levers have moved sufficiently forward again.

32
With the flap handle beyond the approach setting, the warning horn and handle
lights will alarm the pilot that the gear are not down and locked. This horn cannot
be silenced.

There is a Landing Gear Relay CB located adjacent to the gear handle. This
should be checked if any problems with the gear exist.

BRAKES

Both the pilot’s and co-pilot’s stations have their own set of brakes. Brakes are
actuated by applying pressure to the top of the rudder pedals. Each rudder pedal
has its own master cylinder located in the forward compartment. Differential
braking is necessary due to the independent master cylinders. A shuttle valve is
located between the two braking systems of the pilot and co-pilot. Whoever
pushes on the brakes first will move a shuttle valve. This will render the opposite
pilot’s brakes inoperable until brake pressure is released from both sides and the
shuttle valve is repositioned. The hydraulic brake reservoir is located on the
pilot’s side in the front compartment.

33
PARKING BRAKE

The parking brake is located on the pilot’s lower left sub-panel. This handle must
be pulled out while applying brake pressure. This traps brake pressure in the
line.

Note: Applying the parking brake after landing can cause damage to the system
if hot and high conditions exist.

FLIGHT CONTROLS

All flight controls on the King Air -90A/B are mechanical in nature. With the use
of cables, pulleys and pushrods, the ailerons, flaps, elevator and rudder are
controlled.

All trims are mechanically actuated, while electric elevator trim is an option.

34
CONTROL LOCKS

There are flight control


locks that consist of a U-
shaped clamp to surround
the throttle quadrant
levers, and two pins to lock
the control column and to
insert into a slot on the
pilot’s floorboard. This
control lock system will
lock all of the controls in
the neutral position and
eliminate any possibility of
starting the aircraft. All
controls must be in the
neutral position to engage
the locks, while the throttle quadrant levers must be equal positions.

Note: The control lock should be used in its entirety, as it is possible to lock any
one or two of the three functions. Locking the pins without the throttle quadrant
lock could lead to a takeoff with out knowing that the control locks were engaged.

Note: The rudder lock must be removed prior to towing the aircraft to avoid
damage to the steering system.

RUDDER BOOST

Rudder boost is a system to help pilots attain directional control in the event of an
engine failure. P3 bleed air is measured from each engine. If an engine were to
fail, the rudder boost system would recognize the failure as a drop in P3 pressure
and boost the opposite rudder to aid in directional control of the aircraft.

Rudder boost is armed by turning the RUDDER BOOST (center pedestal) switch
to the on position and having the BLEED AIR VALVES in OPEN or ENVIR OFF
position.

YAW DAMPING

A yaw damper is provided to aid in constant and smooth application of rudder


force. The yaw damper switch is located on the pedestal.

35
TRIMS

Trims for all control surfaces are actuated manually from the cockpit via cables.
The elevator has an optional electric trim motor that is located in the aft fuselage.
If so equipped, a ELEV TRIM switch will be located next to the rudder boost
switch and must be turned to the on position.

FLAPS

There are two flap sections on each wing which are driven electrically. One flap
motor is connected to the flaps via drive shafts and screw jacks. There are flap
limit switches located on the inboard right flap to signal the electric motor to stop
at the various positions. This is accomplished through the flap dynamic brake
relay.

Flap movement is displayed on a cockpit gauge center panel above the throttle
quadrant. The gauge shows flap position in relation to a %. Up, 20, takeoff and
approach, 60, 80 and down are displayed on the gauge.

Takeoff and Approach – 14 degrees


Down - 35 degrees

FLAP ASSYMETRY

The flap motor is automatically disconnected when any one flap is 3 – 6 degrees
out of alignment with the other. This is in relation to flaps on the same side.
There is no split flap protection from the left and right wing perspective.

STALL WARNING

A stall vane is located on the left outboard wing leading edge. This stall vane is
heated by a switch on the pilot’s lower left panel. The stall vane is connected to
a lift computer which takes input from the flaps and stall vane to alert the pilot
approx 5-15 kts prior to stall.

This system can be tested on the ground by selecting the STALL WARN TEST
on the co-pilot’s lower left panel. An audible horn should sound in the cockpit.

36
ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION

PITOT TUBES

There are two pitot tubes, one on either side of the nose of the aircraft. Both of
these pitot tubes are heated via a separate switch and heating element that is
controlled on the pilot’s lower right panel. This switch is a CB switch.

Note: Pitot heat should not be operated on the ground unless in ground icing
conditions. Prolonged ground heat can damage the heating elements.

STATIC PORTS

Static ports are located on the rear fuselage area on


either side of the aircraft. Each side will have two
ports, with the upper port serving the same side
instruments, while the bottom port will service the
opposite side instruments.

ALTERNATE AIR

There is an alternate static air toggle switch located on the co-pilot’s right panel
just below the circuit breaker panel. In the event that the main static lines were
to become clogged, this should be set to alternate. Refer to AFM for corrections.

Note: The static ports are not heated.

STALL VANE HEAT

Both the plate and the vane are heated. The CB switch to activate STALL VANE
HEAT is located on the pilot’s lower right panel. The heating of the stall vane
system is minimal on the ground, due to the left landing gear squat switch. In the
air, full heat is applied to the system.

37
FUEL VENT HEAT

The fuel vent located on the lower wing area that protrudes from the wing surface
is heated via a separate switch for the left and right sides. These switches are
also located on the pilot’s lower right panel. This switch should be turned on
during flight.

HOT FIVE

The PITOT (2), STALL VANE (1) and FUEL VENT HEAT (2) consist of the “Hot
Five” and should be turned on prior to takeoff and turned off after landing. These
are considered runway items.

SURFACE DE-ICE

Both the wings and the horizontal stabilizer are protected from ice accumulation
with the use of de-ice boots. These boots are inflated with P3 bleed air and held
to wings when not in use with vacuum pressure derived from P3 bleed air
through an ejector pump. Wing boots include the inner portion of the wing
between the engine nacelle and the fuselage, in addition to the outer section of
the wing.

38
De-ice boots are controlled by a switch on the pilot’s lower right panel labeled
SURFACE DEICE SINGLE, OFF, MANUAL. With ice accumulation present,
moving the switch up to SURFACE DEICE SINGLE will run one complete cycle
of the boots, both wing and tail. The wing boots will operate for approximately six
seconds, followed by the tail for four seconds. By pressing the switch to the
manual position, all boots inflate at the same time. This switch should not be
pressed for extended periods of time, as ice accumulation could occur during this
time.

Note: This switch is a toggle type switch that will always return to the OFF
position after being depressed.
Note: Beechcraft still recommends that .5 – 1.0 inches of ice be present before
inflating the boots. Remember that 1.0 inch of ice on the wing = more than 1.0
inch of ice on the tail, as the circumference of the tail is less than the wing, thus
building up ice at a faster rate.
Note: These boots should not be used when ambient temperatures are below
-40C.

39
Note: The FAA and NTSB have denounced ice bridging as a probability for
modern de-icing boots and now recommend that they be activated and cycled
immediately upon encountering icing conditions.1

WINDSHIELD HEAT

Both windshields are protected from ice accumulation by an electrical heating


element in each window. The heating element maintains a temperature of 95-
105 F. W/S Heat is controlled by separate switches on the pilot’s lower right
panel. There is a HI and LOW position. The only difference between HI and
LOW are the areas of windshield that are heated. In the Low position, a larger
portion of the windshield is heated, while the Hi position will only heat a smaller
area with more intensity.

Note: It may not be possible to keep ice from accumulating in very cold ambient
conditions.

Note: King Air windshields are notorious for failures. Once windshield heat is
activated in flight it should be left on until a lower and warmer environment is
reached. Turning the windshield heat off in cold conditions at altitude can cause
the windshield to break.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS

Windshield wipers are controlled on the overhead panel with a rotary switch.
This switch is labeled OFF, PARK, SLOW AND FAST. The windshield wipers
should not be used on a dry window as scratches can occur. Also, when the
windshield wipers are turned from slow or fast to the off position, they will stop in
the last position. It will be necessary to turn the switch to the park position to
stow the wipers on the bottom of the windshield.

1
According to FAA and NTSB, ice bridging was a concern with older de-icing boots which used lower
pressures and did not inflate as fast as modern boots. With the improvement in modern boots, ice bridging
has been virtually eliminated.

40
WING ICE LIGHTS

Ice lights are located on the outboard side of each engine nacelle and are
controlled on the pilot’s lower right panel. The switches are CB type. These
lights should not be activated on the ground for extended periods, as
discoloration and distortion of the lens may occur.

PROPELLER HEAT (DE-ICE/ANTI-ICE)

The propellers are heated with the use of electrical heating elements on each
blade root area. The heating elements are cemented in place. The electricity is
conducted by carbon brushes which ride on contact strips on the backing plate of
each propeller. There are two CB switches that control prop heat located on the
pilot’s lower right panel.

PROP HEAT INDICATION

There is one prop heat gauge on the overhead panel. This gauge will have a
green arc in the 18-24 amps. During heating element cycles, the gauge should
read in the green. A low indication may indicate a boot element failure.

AUTO MODE

In the automatic mode each propeller (left and right) are heated for 90 seconds.
This cycle will continue until the switch is moved from AUTO to OFF.

41
ENGINE ANTI-ICE

Each engine is equipped with an ice vane to deflect ice and water particles so as
to avoid the inlet screen of the engine. An inertial vane separator is installed in
each engine inlet. This system, when activated manually under the pilot’s yoke
will cause a venturi effect inside the engine inlet, by rising inside the inlet ducting,
opening the underside of the engine nacelle. Due to the venturi effect, the
heavier ice and water particles will exit the underside of the nacelle, while the air,
being lighter will climb into the inlet screen for the engine. The ice vanes are
normally closed during non-icing conditions, allowing air to enter the engine inlet
and oil cooler.

Note: A drop in torque and rise in ITT should be noticed when extending the ice
vanes.

Note: It may be advisable to extend ice vanes during taxi to avoid ingestion of
debris.

Note: A minimum airspeed of 140 KIAS must be maintained while flying in icing
conditions to avoid ice accumulation on the underside of the wing.

Note: Windshield heat, propeller heat and engine ice vanes should be activated
when ambient conditions are 5 degrees C or less and less than 1 mile visibility.

Note: Refer to limitations section for additional icing limitations.

42
PRESSURIZATION

Cabin pressurization is provided by P3 bleed air from the engines. This air is
routed through a flow control unit, then into the cabin. Both pressurization and
environmental air come from the P3 bleed air source. The cabin pressure is
adjusted by controlling the amount of air exiting the pressure vessel through the
outflow valves located on the aft pressure bulkhead.

OUTFLOW VALVES

There are two outflow valves located on the aft pressure bulkhead. One is a
normal valve, while the other is a safety valve. Outflow valves are normally held
shut with spring pressure to pressurize the cabin and held open with controlled
vacuum from the pressure controller. These valves will be set to release cabin
air pressure at a pre-determined psi. (I.e. 5.1 psi)

CONTROL

Control of the cabin pressure is achieved through the use of the cabin pressure
controller. The cabin pressure controller takes inputs from both ambient and P3
bleed air (vacuum), along with pilot inputs to send a controlled vacuum to the
outflow valves.

Prior to takeoff the cabin pressure controller should be set to cruise altitude plus
1000’. On descent the cabin pressure controller should be set to 500’ above field
elevation, so as to depressurize the cabin prior to touchdown.

There is a cabin rate knob on the pressure controller that controls the rate of
ascent or descent from 0 fpm – 1500 fpm (this can be monitored on the cabin
vsi).

BLEED AIR VALVES

On the co-pilot’s lower left panel, there are Left and Right switches labeled
OPEN and CLOSED.

INDICATION

The cabin pressurization can be monitored on the center panel just in front of the
throttle quadrant.

43
CABIN ALTIMETER

The cabin altimeter shows both cabin altitude on the outer scale and differential
pressure on the inner scale.

Note: Max differential pressure will be indicated on the gauge with a red line.

CABIN VSI

The rate of cabin ascent or descent can be monitored on the cabin VSI.

SYSTEM TEST & CABIN DUMP SWITCH

There is multi-function switch located on the center pedestal next to the cabin
pressure controller. By moving the switch to the dump position in-flight, raw
vacuum will bypass the cabin pressure controller and open the outflow valves.

On the ground, an elevation can be selected below current field elevation and the
switch moved to the test position. This will bypass the squat switch trigger and
allow the cabin to pressurize while still on the ground. By watching the cabin vsi
and cabin differential pressure gauge, the system operation can be verified.
Moving the switch back to the center position (PRESS) will release the cabin
pressure.

44
AIR CONDITIONING

Air conditioned air is supplied to the aircraft via a vapor-cycle refrigeration


system. The compressor is electrically powered and is located in the nose of the
aircraft, along with the condenser, receiver-dryer, and evaporator.

The system is controlled on the co-pilot’s lower left panel, while air routing
controls are located under each control yoke on the lower instrument panel.

45
CONTROLS

CABIN TEMP MODE

The cabin temp mode control is a rotary knob that has four positions:

OFF: Air conditioning off

AUTO: Air conditioning selected on or off via the cabin temp knob position.

MAN HEAT: Cabin air will be heated up by either partially or completely


bypassing the air to air heat exchanger.

MAN COOL: Cabin air will be a mixture of bleed air and air conditioning air and
will be routed through the air to air heat exchanger.

46
Note: There is a manual temp toggle switch labeled INCR and DECR. This
switch can be moved to modulate bypass valves for the air to air heat exchanger.
It takes approximately 1 minute to move both the left and right valves to their full
position. Each valve moves independently and takes approximately 30 seconds
for each valve to move full travel.

CABIN TEMP

This rotary knob can be rotated to adjust cabin temperature. This knob
accomplishes the same thing as the manual toggle switch, but is controlled by a
temperature sensor that is located in the overhead just behind the cockpit divider.

VENT BLOWER

The vent blower is located in the nose of the aircraft and is controlled with a
toggle switch labeled HI, LO and AUTO. In the auto mode the vent blower will
operate on a low setting provided the Cabin Temp mode switch is any setting
other than off.

With the cabin temp mode switch in the off position, Hi or Lo can be selected and
will provide the desired blower action.

ELECTRIC HEAT

Electric heating elements are placed in the blower ducts to provide for cabin
heating on the ground only. A GPU must be used to operate this system if used
for preheating the cabin. The vent blower must be turned on to use this system.
It is necessary to leave the blower on for a short period of time after turning the
electric heat off to disperse residual heat. The GRND MAX position can only be
used on the ground due to high electrical loads.

BLEED AIR CONTROL VALVES

For maximum cooling on the ground these valves should be in the ENVIR OFF
position, as to allow only air conditioned air to enter the cabin and not P3 bleed
air.

UNPRESSURIZED FLIGHT WITH VENTILATION

The aircraft can be flown unpressurized by placing the bleed air valves to any
position other than OPEN. This will stop any P3 bleed air from entering the
cabin. It is also necessary to have the CABIN DUMP switch in the DUMP
position. This action allows outside air to enter the cabin via a vent door in the
nose of the aircraft.

47
OXYGEN SYSTEM

The King Air C90 series is equipped with one oxygen bottle located behind the
aft pressure bulkhead. It is mounted on the rear bulkhead in a horizontal
position. This bottle could be any of the following sizes: 22, 49, 64, 76, 115 cu ft.
(Refer to supplemental section of AFM). This oxygen bottle serves both the crew
and the passengers. A cockpit pressure gauge shows bottle pressure on the co-
pilot’s lower right panel.

MASKS

The masks will be located on the cockpit divider just behind each of the crew.
These masks have two positions (normal, 100%) and are required to be in the
100% oxygen position for flight.

Note: The normal mode mixes cockpit air with oxygen. In the event that air
contamination is a factor these masks will have to be put in the 100% mode. The
emergency mode on the Puritan Bennett masks is pressure oxygen.

CONTROLS

PULL ON – SYS READY

48
This knob is connected to the oxygen bottle shutoff valve and must be pulled
prior to flight to arm the entire aircraft with oxygen.

Note: It is important to arm the oxygen system prior to flight, as this


cable/linkage could become frozen in flight and not be able to be activated.

INDICATION

There is an oxygen pressure gauge on the co-pilot’s lower right panel that shows
bottle pressure. In addition there is a red CABIN ALT HI annunciator that will
illuminate when the cabin altitude exceeds 12,500’.

(1) Maximum pennissible sustained torque is 1315 ft-lbs. Propeller speeds (N2) must be set so as not to exceed power
limitation.
(2) When gas generator speeds are above 72% N1 and oil temperatures are between 60 °C and 70 ° C, nonnal oil
pressure is between 80 and 100 psi.
During extremely cold starts, oil pressure may reach 200 psi. Oil pressure between 40 and 80 psi is undesirable; it
should be tolerated only for the completion of the flight, and then only at a reduced power setting. Oil pressure below
40 psi is unsafe; it requires that either the engine be shut down, or that a landing be made at the nearest suitable
airport, using the minimum power required to sustain flight.
(3) For increased service life of engine oil, an oil temperature of between 74 ° to 80 ° C is recommended. A minimum oil
temperature of 55 ° C is recommended for fuel heater operation at take-off power.
(4) These values are time-limited to two seconds.
(5) High ITT at ground idle may be corrected by reducing accessory load and/or increasing N1 rpm.
(6) Cruise torque values vary with altitude and temperature.
(7) Reverse power operation is limited to one minute.
(8) High generator loads at low N1 speeds may cause the ITT transient temperature limit to be exceeded. Observe
generator load limits.

APPROVED FUEL ADDITIVES
ANTI-ICING ADDITIVE
Engine oil is used to heat the fuel on entering the fuel control. Since no temperature measurement is available for the fuel at this
point, it must be assumed to be the same as the OAT. The graph below is used to determine the minimum oil temperature
required to maintain the fuel temperature above the freezing point of water, and thus prevent ice accumulations in the fuel control
unit. Enter the graph at the known or forecast OAT and determine the minimum oil temperature required for each phase of flight.
If the anticipated actual oil temperature is not equal to, or above this minimum temperature, anti-icing additive conforming to MIL-
I 1-27686 or MIL-1-85470 must be added to the fuel. Refer to Section 4, NORMAL PROCEDURES, for blending procedures.

Prior to refueling, check with the fuel supplier to determine whether or not anti-icing additive has already been
f¢A�TION I
added to the fuel. If anti-icing additive is required, it must be properly blended with the fuel to avoid deterioration of
the fuel cell sealant. The additive concentration shall be a minimum of 0.10% and a maximum of 0.15% by volume.
To assure proper concentration by volume of fuel on board, blend only enough additive for the unblended fuel.

FUEL 8/0CIDE ADDITIVE


Fuel biocide-fungicide "BIOBOR JF" in concentrations of 135 ppm or 270 ppm may be used in the fuel. BIOBOR JF may be used
as the only fuel additive or it may be used with the anti-icing additive conforming to MIL-1-27686 or MIL-1-85470 specification.
Used together the additives have no detrimental effect on the fuel system components.
Refer to the King Air 90 Series Maintenance Manual and the latest revision of Pratt & Whitney Service Bulletin No. 1244 for
concentrations to use and for procedures, recommendations and limitations pertaining to the use of biocidal/fungicidal additives
in turbine fuels.

LIMITATIONS WHEN ENCOUNTERING SEVERE ICING CONDITIONS


(Required By FAA AD 98-04-24)

!WARNING I
Severe icing may result from environmental conditions outside of those for which the airplane is certificated. Flight
in freezing rain, freezing drizzle, or mixed icing conditions (supercooled liquid water and ice crystals) may result in
ice build-up on protected surfaces exceeding the capability of the ice protection system, or may result in ice forming
aft of the protected surfaces. This ice may not be shed using the ice protection systems, and may seriously degrade
the performance and controllability of the airplane.
1. During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed those for which the airplane is certificated shall be determined by the
following visual cues. If one or more of these visual cues exists, immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic
Control to facilitate a route or an altitude change to exit the icing conditions.
a. Unusually extensive ice accumulation on the airframe and windshield in areas not normally observed to collect ice.
b. Accumulation of ice on the upper surface of the wing, aft of the protected area.
c. Accumulation of ice on the engine nacelles and propeller spinners farther aft than normally observed.
2. Since the autopilot, when installed and operating, may mask tactile cues that indicate adverse changes in handling
characteristics, use of the autopilot is prohibited when any of the visual cues specified above exist, or when unusual lateral
trim requirements or autopilot trim Warnings are encountered while the airplane is in icing conditions.
3. All wing icing inspection lights must be operative prior to flight into known or forecast icing conditions at night. [NOTE: This
supersedes any relief provided by the Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL).]

Section 3 Raytheon Aircraft Company
Emergency Procedures Model C90A
SMOKE AND FUME ELIMINATION
Attempt to identify the source of smoke or fumes. Smoke associated with electrical failures is usually gray or tan in color, and
irritating to the nose and eyes. Smoke produced by environmental system failures is generally white in color, and much less
irritating. If smoke is prevalent in the cabin, cabin oxygen masks should not be deployed unless the cabin altitude exceeds
15,000 feet, and then they should be used only until the cabin altitude is reduced to 15,000 feet or lower.

WINDSHIELD ELECTRICAL FAULT


The smell of an electrical overheat, or observing smoke and/or fire at the lower inboard corner of either windshield, adjacent to
the center post, may indicate an overheat condition in the electrical power terminal for the normal heat mode of the pilot's or
copilot's windshield heat.
1. WSHLD ANTI-ICE ............................................................................. OFF
If Smoke and/or Fire Does Not Cease:
2. Conduct ELECTRICAL SMOKE OR FIRE procedure.
If Smoke and/or Fire Ceases:
3. Continue flight with Windshield Anti-ice OFF if possible.
If Windshield Anti-ice is required:
4. If the source of the smell, smoke, or fire can be isolated to the pilot's or copilot's windshield, the opposite windshield
(without the overheat condition) may be operated in the NORMAL or HI windshield heat mode.

USE OF OXYGEN

!WARNING I
Beards and mustaches should be carefully trimmed so that they will not interfere with the proper sealing
of an oxygen mask.The fit of the oxygen mask around the beard or mustache should be checked on the
ground for proper sealing. Studies conducted by the military and the FAA conclude that oxygen masks
do not seal over beards and mustaches. Hats and "ear-muff' type headsets must be removed prior to
donning crew oxygen masks.Headsets and eyeglasses worn by crew members may interfere with quick­
donning capabilities.

!WARNING I
The following table sets forth the average time of useful consciousness (TUC) (time from onset of
hypoxia until loss of effective performance) at various altitudes.Rapid decompressions can reduce these

4. Above 28 Amps:
a. Avoid icing conditions, since continued operation of the system cannot be assured.
b. Do not operate the system, except in emergencies.
c. Restrict time of operation to a minimum.

STATIC AIR SYSTEM


PILOT'S ALTERNATE STATIC AIR SOURCE
THE ALTERNATE STATIC AIR SOURCE SHOULD BE USED FOR CONDITIONS WHERE THE NORMAL STATIC SOURCE
HAS BEEN OBSTRUCTED. When the airplane has been exposed to moisture and/or icing conditions (especially on the
ground), the possibility of obstructed static ports should be considered. Partial obstructions will result in the rate of climb
indication being sluggish during a climb or descent. Verification of suspected obstruction is possible by switching to the
alternate system and noting a sudden sustained change in rate-of-climb indication. This may be accompanied by abnormal
indicated airspeed and altitude changes beyond normal calibrated differences.Whenever any obstruction exists in the Normal
Static Air System, or when the Alternate Static Air System is desired for use:
1. Pilot's Alternate Static Air Source (right side panel) ............................................ ALTERNATE
I 2. For Airspeed Calibration and Altimeter Correction, refer to Section 5, PERFORMANCE.

NOTE
Be certain the static air valve is in the NORMAL position when the alternate system is not needed.

b. Before Landi_ng ....................................... DEPRESSURIZE CABIN PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN
3. Other In-flight Considerations
a. Visibility through a shattered windshield may be sufficiently reduced to dictate flying the airplane from the opposite side
of the cockpit.
b. Precautions should be taken to prevent particles or flakes of glass from a shattered inner ply of the windshield from
interfering with the crew's vision.
c. A cracked outer windshield ply may damage operating windshield wipers.
d. Windshield heat may be inoperative in the area of the crack(s).

SEVERE ICING CONDITIONS
{Alternate Method of Compliance With FAA AD 98-04-24)
THE FOLLOWING WEATHER CONDITIONS MAY BE CONDUCIVE TO SEVERE IN-FLIGHT ICING:
• Visible rain at temperatures below O degrees Celsius ambient air temperature.
• Droplets that splash or splatter on impact at temperatures below O degrees Celsius ambient air temperature.
PROCEDURES FOR EXITING THE SEVERE ICING ENVIRONMENT:
These procedures are applicable to all flight phases from takeoff to landing. Monitor the ambient air temperature. While severe
icing may form at temperatures as cold as -18 degrees Celsius, increased vigilance is warranted at temperatures around
freezing with visible moisture present. If the visual cues specified in the Limitations Section for identifying severe icing
conditions are observed, accomplish the following:
1. Immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic Control to facilitate a route or an altitude change to exit the severe
icing conditions in order to avoid extended exposure to flight conditions more severe than those for which the airplane has
been certificated.
2. Avoid abrupt and excessive maneuvering that may exacerbate control difficulties.
3. Do not engage the autopilot.
4. If the autopilot is engaged, hold the control wheel firmly and disengage the autopilot.
5. If an unusual roll response or uncommanded roll control movement is observed, reduce the angle-of-attack.
6. Do not extend flaps when holding in icing conditions. Operation with flaps extended can result in a reduced wing angle-of­
attack with the possibility of ice forming on the upper surface further aft on the wing than normal, possibly aft of the
protected area.

ICING CONDITIONS

!WARNINGI
Due to distortion of the wing airfoil, ice accumulations on the leading edges can cause a significant loss in rate of
climb and in speed performance, as well as increases in stall speed.Even after cycling the deicing boots, the ice
accumulation remaining on the boots and unprotected areas of the airplane can cause large performance losses.
For the same reason, the aural stall warning system may not be accurate and should not be relied upon.Maintain
a comfortable margin of airspeed above the normal stall airspeed.In order to minimize ice accumulation on unpro­
tected surfaces of the wing, maintain a minimum of 140 knots during operations in sustained icing conditions. Prior
to a landing approach, cycle the deicing boots to shed any accumulated ice.

4. Surface Deice

!WARNING I
All components of the surface deice system must be monitored during icing flight to ensure the system is functioning
normally.These components include:
Pneumatic Pressure Gage. The gage should indicate 12-20 psi before boots are activated. The pressure will mo­
mentarily decrease when the boots are activated.
Gyro Suction Gage.The gage should indicate in the area of the green arc corresponding to the airplane altitude.
The vacuum will momentarily decrease when the boots are activated.

r
Pneumatic Boots. Visually monitor the boots, where possible, to ensure ice is being removed.

CAUTION

'3LENDING ANTI-ICING ADDITIVE TO FUEL


The following procedures must be observed when blending anti-icing additive with the fuel.
1. The additive must conform to specification MIL-1-27686 or MIL-1-85470.
2. The concentration of the additive must be a minimum of 0.10% and a maximum of 0.15% by volume. Thus, a 20 oz. (591.5
ml) can of additive is sufficient for 105 to 155 gallons (398 to 586 liters) of fuel.
3. When blending the additive as the airplane is being refueled, use the following precautions:
a. Refuel at a rate of 30 to 45 gallons (114 to 170 liters) per minute. A rate of less than 30 GPM (114 LPM) may be used
when topping off the tanks.
b. Start additive flow after fuel flow starts, and stop before fuel flow stops.
c. Ensure additive is directed into the flowing fuel stream.
d. Do not allow concentrated additive to contact coated interior of fuel cells or airplane surfaces.

ADDING BIOCIDE TO FUEL


Refer to the King Air 90 Series Maintenance Manual and to the latest revision of the Pratt & Whitney Canada Service Bulletin No.
1244 for concentrations to use, and for procedures, recommendations and limitations pertaining to the use of Biocidal/Fungicidal
additives in turbine fuels.

USE OF JET B, JP-4 AND AVIATION GASOLINE


Fuel quantity indicators will not indicate correctly when using Jet 8, JP-4, or aviation gasoline due to the differences in their den­
sity and dielectric constants. The indicated fuel quantity should be corrected using the factors shown below. These factors have
been generalized in some cases for simplicity, thus results should be considered as approximations.
• When using Jet B or JP-4, multiply the indicated fuel quantity by .96 to obtain the corrected fuel quantity.
• When using aviation gasoline, multiply the indicated fuel quantity by .94 to obtain the corrected fuel quantity.

COLD WEATHER PROCEDURES (SNOW, SLUSH, AND ICE)


PREFLIGHT INSPECTION
Verify that the tires are not frozen to the ramp, and that the brakes are free of ice contamination. Deicing or anti-icing solutions
may be used on the tires and brakes if they are frozen. Solutions which contain a lubricant, such as oil, must not be used as they
will decrease the effectiveness of the brakes.
In addition to the normal exterior preflight inspection, special attention should be given all vents, openings, static ports, control
surfaces, hinge points, the stall warning vane, and the wing, tail, and fuselage surfaces for accumulations of ice or snow. Removal
of these accumulations is necessary prior to takeoff. Airfoil contours may be altered by the ice and snow to the extent that their
lift qualities will be seriously impaired. Ice and snow on the fuselage can increase drag and weight. Frost that may form on the
wing fuel tank bottom skins need not be removed prior to flight. Frost that may accumulate on other portions of the wing, the tail
surfaces, or on any control surface, must be removed prior to flight.
Inspect the propeller blades and hubs for ice and snow. Unless engine inlet covers have been installed during snow or icing con­
ditions, the propellers should be turned by hand in the direction of normal rotation to make sure they are free to rotate prior to
starting the engines.

4-22 July, 2005


llaylbeDD Aircraft Company Section·4
Model C90A Normal Procedures
The removal of frozen deposits by chipping or scraping is not recommended. A soft brush, squeegee, or mop may be used to
clear snow that is not adhering to the surfaces. If use of deicing/anti-icing fluids are required to produce a clean airplane, special
attention must be given to ensure that the pitot masts, static ports, fuel vents, the stall warning vane, cockpit windows and the
area forward of the cockpit windows are free of the deicing/anti-icing solution. Both wings and both stabilizers must receive the
same complete treatment. The type and concentration of deicing/anti-icing solution being applied and the rate of precipitation will
affect the length of time the treatment will be effective. Refer to Chapter 12 of the King Air 90 Series Maintenance Manual and
Section 8 of this manual for additional information on deicing and anti-icing of airplanes on the ground. See Section 2, LIMITA- I
TIONS, for a list of approved fluids.
Complete the normal preflight procedures, including a check of the flight controls for complete freedom of movement.
After engine start, exercise the propellers through low- and high-pitch and into reverse range to flush any congealed oil through
the system.

TAXIING
Taxiing through deep snow or slush should be avoided when possible. Snow and slush can be forced into brake assemblies
which may cause the brakes to freeze during a prolonged hold on the ground or during the subsequent flight. Keep flaps retracted
during taxiing to avoid throwing snow or slush into flap mechanisms and to minimize damage to flap surfaces.
Glaze ice can be difficult to see. Therefore, taxi slowly and allow more clearance from objects when maneuvering the airplane.

BEFORE TAKEOFF
After completion of the normal Before Takeoff checklist, verify that the airplane is still free of frozen contaminants.
Ensure the runway is free from hazards such as snow drifts, glazed ice, and ruts.

!WARNING I
Ice, frost, or snow on top of deicing/anti-icing solutions must be considered as adhering to the airplane. Takeoff
should not be attempted.
If the OAT is +5° C or below and visible moisture will be encountered during the takeoff, engine anti-ice must be turned on.

TAKEOFF
Allow additional take-off distance when snow or slush is on the runway. Extra cycling of the landing gear when above 500 feet
AGL may help clear any contamination from the gear system.
When using FAA Approved SAE Type II or Type IV deicing/anti-icing fluids in the concentrated form, the control column force
required to rotate for takeoff may temporarily increase approximately 20 pounds. The cruise, descent, approach and landing
phases of flight are not affected by the use of these fluids.

LANDING
Braking and steering are less effective on slick runways. Also, hydroplaning may occur under wet runway conditions at higher
speeds. Use the rudder to maintain directional control until the tires make solid contact with the runway surface.
Selecting reverse thrust can effectively reduce stopping distances on slick runways; however, reverse thrust may cause snow or
moisture to be thrown forward, temporarily reducing visibility.

SHUTDOWN AND SECURING


Avoid setting the parking brake, if possible. This will help reduce the possibility of freezing the brakes. Proper chocking can be
used to prevent the airplane from rolling.

ICING FLIGHT
This airplane is approved for flight in icing conditions when the equipment listed in the KINDS OF OPERATIONS EQUIPMENT
LIST in Section 2 is installed and operational. This approval is based on tests conducted in natural and simulated icing conditions. I
These conditions do not include, nor were tests conducted in, all icing conditions that may be encountered (e.g., freezing rain,
freezing drizzle, mixed conditions, or conditions defined as severe). Such icing conditions have the potential of producing haz-

July, 2005 4-23


Section 4 Raytllea11 Aircraft Company
Normal Procedures Model C90A
ardous ice accumulations, which: 1) exceed the capabilities of the airplane's ice protection equipment and/or 2)create unaccept­
able airplane performance.Flight into icing conditions which lie outside those tested is not prohibited; however, pilots must be
prepared to divert the flight promptly if hazardous ice accumulations occur.

I Refer to Section 2 for limitations relating to icing flight, Section 3A for abnormal procedures associated with icing equipment m al­
functions and procedures required for severe icing conditions.

SIMULATING ONE-ENGINE-INOPERATIVE (ZERO THRUST)


When establishing zero thrust operation, use the power setting listed below.By using this power setting to establish zero thrust,
one avoids the inherent delays of restarting a shut down engine and preserves almost instant power to counter any attendant
hazard.

!WARNING I
I IN-FLIGHT ENGINE CUTS BELOW VssE SPEED OF 97 KNOTS ARE PROHIBITED.
1. Prop .................................................................................. 1800 RPM
2. Power Lever ....................................................................SET 100 ft-lbs torque

NOTE
I This setting will approximate Zero Thrust at low altitudes using recommended One-Engine-Inoperative Climb
Speeds.The optional propeller autofeather system is disabled with a retarded power lever.

PRACTICE DEMONSTRATION OF VMcA


VMCA demonstration may be required for multi-engine pilot certification.The following procedure shall be used at a safe altitude

NOISE CHARACTERISTICS
Approach to and departure from an airport should be made so as to avoid prolonged flight at low altitude near noise-sensitive
areas.Avoidance of noise-sensitive areas, if practical, is preferable to overflight at relatively low altitudes.
For VFR operations over outdoor assemblies of persons, recreational and park areas, and other noise-sensitive areas, pilots
should make every effort to fly not less than 2000 feet above the surface, weather permitting, even though flight at a lower level
may be consistent with the provisions of government regulations.

NOTE
The preceding recommended procedures do not apply where they would conflict with Air Traffic Control clearances
or instructions, or where, in the pilot's judgement, an altitude of less than 2000 feet is necessary to adequately ex­
ercise his duty to see and avoid other airplanes.
Take-off noise level established in compliance with 14 CFR Part 36 is: 84.73 dB(A).
No determination has been made by the Federal Aviation Administration that the noise level of this airplane is, or should be, ac­
ceptable or unacceptable for operation at, into, or out of any airport.
Take-off noise level established in compliance with ICAO Annex 16 is: 83.99dB(A).

PRESSURE ALTITUDE
To determine approximate pressure altitude at origin and destination airports, add 1000 feet to field elevation
for each 1.00 in. Hg that the reported altimeter setting value is below 29.92 in. Hg, and subtract 1000 feet for
each 1.00 in. Hg above 29.92 in. Hg. Always subtract the reported altimeter setting from 29.92 in. Hg. Then
multiply the answer by 1000 to find the difference in feet between field elevation and pressure altitude.

Pressure Altitude At BIL:

29.92 - 29.56 = 0.36


0.36 x 1000 feet = 360 feet

Climb Gradient .....................................................................2.92%


Climb Speed..... ................ . ... . .... . ......... . ........................ .... 9 9 knots

Calculation of horizontal distance required to clear an obstacle:

A 2.92% climb gradient is 2 9.2 feet of vertical height per 1000feet (3 05meters) of horizontal distance.

NOTE
The graphs for take-off climb gradient assume a zero wind condition. Climbing into a
headwind will result in higher angles of climb and hence better obstacle clearance capa­
bilities.

Calculation of the horizontal distance to clear an obstacle 100feet above the runway surface.

Distance from 35feet to 100feet= 65feet


(100-35)(10007 2 9.2)= 2227 feet (67 9 meters)
Total Distance= 596 9 (1819) + 2227 (67 9)= 8196 feet (24 9 8 meters)

HOW TO USE GRAPHS


1. Indicated airspeeds (IAS) were obtained using the Airspeed Calibration-Normal System Graph.
2. The associated conditions define the specific conditions for which performance parameters have been
determined.They are not intended to be used as instructions; however, performance values determined
from charts can only be achieved if the specified conditions exist.
3. In addition to presenting the answer for a particular set of conditions, the example on a graph also pre­
sents the order in which the various scales on the graph should be used. For instance, if the first item in
the examples is OAT, then enter the graph at the existing OAT.
4. The reference lines indicate where to begin following the guidelines.Always project to the reference line
first, then follow the guidelines to the next known item by maintaining the same PROPORTIONAL DIS­
TANCE between the guideline above and guideline below the projected line. For instance, if the projected
line intersects the reference line in the ratio of 30% down / 70% up between the guidelines, then maintain
this same 30% / 70% relationship between the guidelines all the way to the next known item or answer.
5. The full amount of usable fuel is available for all approved flight conditions.

The mission was to be a five‐day, six‐city, business trip.  Sitting left seat of the F90 King Air was the 
plane’s owner, an above average pilot with experience in pressurized twin‐engine aircraft but with 
minimal experience in the King Air.  I was sitting right seat as the CFI‐Mentor pilot helping the owner 
transition into his recently purchased King Air.  There were no other passengers on this leg. 

We departed Van Nuys on a Mid‐May afternoon in clear skies headed for Omaha, Nebraska.  IFR 
conditions were expected once we got to the Las Vegas area and there were numerous small 
thunderstorms that we expected to deviate around once we got to the Denver area and eastward.  We 
promptly climbed to FL250 and the autopilot was flying in smooth air.  As we were east of Las Vegas we 
entered the clouds and experienced continuous light turbulence. 

About 2.5 hours into the flight over the Rocky Mountains in the Aspen area we were beginning to think 
about the thunderstorms ahead and strategizing on how we were going to navigate to the destination.  
At this time we were in solid clouds with an outside air temperature about negative 18 degrees Celsius 
with no icing observed on the wings or windshield.  The owner had his head down looking at the 
datalink weather that was being displayed on his portable Garmin handheld.  I was occupied looking at 
the weather ahead on the radar display on the MFD.  The owner, out of the corner of his eyes, noticed 
some activity on the pilot side instruments and pointed out the altimeter.  It was displaying a very rapid 
descent!  At that time, we did not notice any sensations of an attitude change.  We had no feeling on the 
seat‐of‐our‐pants that anything was wrong.   My thoughts quickly went to some kind of instrument 
problem as a result of pitot‐static icing.  In the next few seconds I was scanning the pilot’s instruments 
and observed that the attitude indicator was showing straight‐and‐level.  A few seconds later we both 
noticed an increasing airspeed indicator.  The next 5‐10 seconds we somewhat froze and must have 
looked like ”deer as they look into headlights” as we tried to assess what was wrong.  About that time, 
we heard an audio alert and had a red annunciator flashing on the glare shield and later realized that it 
was the autopilot disconnecting.  I noticed that the second attitude indicator on my side (Co‐pilot 
instruments) was showing a 90 degree bank which was totally in disagreement with the pilot side 
attitude indicator.  I looked backed to my airspeed indicator and saw that our speed was just starting to 
exceed red‐line.  I yelled to the owner to pull the power back.  The altimeter was unwinding very quickly, 
yet the pilot‐side attiude indicator still showed straight‐and‐level.  I noticed that VSI indicator was 
pegged at max, showing over a 3,000 foot per minute descent!  My senses and brain were on “overload” 
as so many things were happening over such a short period of time.  It now was setting in that we were 
in an unusual attitude and I realized we were in a very serious situation. 

With the autopilot now off, the owner was attempting to control the plane but was having difficulty, 
partly because he was flying partial panel looking at his instruments while trying to view the attitude 
indicator on the copilot side.  The view he had on the copilot side attitude indicator was at such an 
angle, he could not even tell where the “blue sky” was on the indicator.  After another few seconds, I 
yelled to the owner “my plane” and took the yoke and was going to try and get the plane right‐side‐up 
using the co‐pilot side attitude indicator.  At that moment, my attitude indicator was showing a greater 
than a 90 degree bank, while also descending.  For the next 20‐30 seconds, I fixated on my attitude 
indicator, with the power at flight‐idle, and was able bring the plane back to wings‐level and arrested 
the descent.  In my mind, I knew we had lost altitude and pitched the nose up thinking we needed to get 
back up to a safe altitude.  However I was so fixated on the recovery, with my adrenaline off‐the‐charts, 
I failed to add power back in .  The owner yelled out “airspeed” and I looked over to see the airspeed 
indicator rapidly decreasing in the range of 70 knots.  The owner quickly added full power and our 
airspeed started increasing.  About that time, were started to see some breaks in the IFR conditions as 
we exited the side of clouds. 

Up until this point, we had not communicated to ATC, nor had they communicate to us.  So far, less than 
two minutes or so had transpired since the event began.  Now in clear skies and realizing that we had 
survived, we advised ATC that we had a failed attitude indicator and were operating on partial panel.  
However, confusion still existed in my mind since we were now on a south‐west heading.  As it turned 
out, we had made almost a 180 degree turn during the event.  We also saw that our altitude was about 
20,000msl.  We decided that we needed to stay in the clear and get on the ground as soon as possible.  
We climbed back up to FL 250, turned eastward while we zigged and zagged to stay in the clear as we 
diverted to Centennial airport in Denver and landed.  During the unusual attitude and the subsequent 
recovery, we never pulled excessive G‐forces and there was no damage done to the aircraft.
