1.1.b. Revisions
Permanent and temporary revisions to this handbook will be issued by the aircraft
manufacturer whenever necessary. These revisions must be incorporated in the
handbook as directed and the details recorded on the relevant Record of Revisions. Full
details concerning the embodiment of each permanent revision, in this handbook, are
published in a Revision Incorporation Notice attached to the front of every revision. The
new or amended content of revised pages will be indicated by a black vertical line in the
left-hand margin, adjacent to the relevant text. In the event of completely revised pages
being issued, the black line indication will not appear. Properly approved revisions,
emanating from sources other than the aircraft manufacturer, must be recorded on a
separate Log of Revisions which should be provided for the purpose. If this is not done,
the statement pertaining to certification at the front of this manual will be invalidated.
1.1.c. Page identification
n
Each page of this Handbook bears the following references:
e
• The Handbook's reference number.
im
• The Section number and title.
c
• The Page number in the format Section-Page (i.e. 1-3 means Section 1 Page 3).
e
•
p
The date of initial approval or the revision number and the date of its approval.
s
• The statement "CAA Approved" is shown only on pages that form part of the CAA
Approved Flight Manual.
• The page effectivity. See the next paragraph for details.
1.1.d. Page effectivity

It is not possible to provide a common Handbook for BCAR and FAR certificated aircraft,
because of the differences between airworthiness requirements. However, the use of an
effectivity block at the bottom of each page means that a dedicated BCAR or FAR Hand-
book can be assembled from a complete set of pages, using the relevant List of
Effective Pages.
At the initial issue of this Handbook, the page effectivity system only covers BCAR and
FAR style Handbooks. In the future this could be extended to cover other airworthiness
requirements.

1.9. Symbols, abbreviations and terminology

The following terms are used in various sections of this manual.
1.9.a. General airspeed terminology and symbols
n
IAS: Indicated Air Speed is the speed of an aircraft as shown by the air speed
e
indicator when corrected for instrument error. IAS values published in this
Handbook assume zero instrument error.
m
CAS: Calibrated Air Speed is the indicated speed of an aircraft, corrected for
i
position and instrument error. Calibrated airspeed is equal to true air speed
in standard atmosphere at sea level.
c
TAS: True Air Speed is the air speed of an aircraft relative to undisturbed air
e
which is the CAS corrected for altitude and temperature.
VR: Rotation Speed is the speed at which rotation must be commenced to take-
p
off.
s
V2: Take-off Safety Speed is the speed which must be obtained at the take-off
screen height of 50 feet.
VA: Design Manoeuvring Speed is the maximum permissible speed for full
deflection of any of the Flight Controls.
VREF: Reference Landing Approach Speed The speed used during the final
approach to landing.
VFE: Maximum Flaps Extended Speed is the highest speed permissible with
Flaps in a prescribed extended position.
VMCA: Minimum Control Speed is the minimum speed at which the aircraft is
controllable with the critical engine inoperative in the "Take-off" configuration.
VNO: Normal Operating Limit Speed is the maximum normal operating speed.
VNE: Never Exceed Limit Speed is the limiting speed that must not be exceeded.

Section 1
AFM/2T-4S General
1.9.b. Meteorological Terminology

AIR TEMPERATURE: The temperature of the free air near to, but uninfluenced by the aircraft.
ALTITUDE: The altitude shown on the charts is pressure altitude which is the
expression of atmospheric pressure in terms of altitude above mean sea
level according to the interrelation of these factors in the International
Standard Atmosphere (ISA.). This may be obtained by setting the sub-
scale of an accurate pressure type altimeter at 1,013 millibars (29.92
inches or 760 millimetres of mercury).
deg C: Degrees Celsius
ISA: International Standard Atmosphere in which:
1. The air is a perfect dry gas
2. The temperature at sea level is 15 deg C
3. The pressure at sea level is 1,013.2 millibars
4. The temperature gradient from sea level to the altitude at which the
n
temperature is -56.5 deg C is -0.00198 deg C per foot and zero above
e
that altitude.
This is shown in Fig 5-1.
m
mb: Millibars
i
OAT: Outside Air Temperature as indicated on the cockpit instrument.
c
Wind: The wind velocities recorded as variables on the performance graphs are

Section 2
Fuel can be supplied with the approved icing inhibitor already incorporated or mixed with
the fuel during refueling. Section 7 gives the correct mixing procedure.
Note
FSII is not always indicated on the refueling placard. Check with the fuel
supplier to make sure the fuel contains FSII.
CAUTIONS...
The correct mix of a DiEGME compound with the fuel is important. Concentrations
more than the recommended maximum (0.15% by volume) will cause damage to the
protective primer and sealants of the fuel tanks. Damage will occur to the seals in
the fuel system and engine components.

3.3. ENGINE FAILURE
3.3.a. FAILURE OF ONE ENGINE DURING TAKE-OFF
If an engine fails before rotation is reached, reduce power and decelerate to a stop. If an
n
engine fails after rotation the decision whether or not to land straight ahead should be
made with due consideration to runway length and level of performance available, and
e
surrounding terrain (obstacles). If committed to continuing take-off the procedure below
should be followed.

Section 3
3.3.d. HANDLING ON ONE ENGINE
General
Variations in asymmetric power can result in high rudder foot forces which should be
held and then alleviated by trimming. Yawing with asymmetric power could give rise to
significant longitudinal pitch trim changes.
Fuel system management
Should an engine failure be experienced during the early part of a flight the operative
engine can be fed from the fuel tank(s) on the opposite side to improve aircraft roll trim.
This can be done by using the “crossfeed” selection shown in Section 7 under the Fuel
System heading.
n
3.3.e. CRITICAL ENGINE
e
Failure of the left engine has the more adverse effect on the performance characteristics
of the aeroplane.
im
Failure of the right engine in the T.O. configuration is more critical with respect to
c
Minimum Control Speed (VMCA).

s

Section 3
3.5. AIR START

2 Select and hold starter switch lever towards the engine to be started.
3 As N1 speed accelerates through 12 to 15 per cent, move the condition

lever forward to MIN RPM. This avoids momentary propeller overspeed
and minimises drag surge as the propeller unfeathers.
4 De-energize the starter when 58 per cent N1 speed is reached.
5 A positive indication of oil pressure must be obtained when 60 per cent

N1 is reached.
6 The start is completed when a stabilized N1 speed of 60 to 65 per cent
n
is reached, the propeller has unfeathered and has stabilized at 59 to 69
e
per cent N2.
im
Notes...
To assist in starting the other engine, the generator on the operating
c
engine may be switched ON, but an N1 speed of 70 per cent or greater
e
must be set.
p
Depending upon conditions the starting cycle takes approximately 15 to
45 seconds for each engine.
CAUTION...
s
Due to thermal change within the turbine, the gas producer section of the
engine may lock up after an inflight shutdown. This is a temporary
condition which exists after the engine has been shut down for
approximately one minute and which may continue for up to ten minutes
following the shutdown. In an emergency, air starts may be attempted
during the time period between one minute after shutdown and ten
minutes after shutdown but restart cannot be guaranteed.

3.9. EMERGENCY DESCENT

To achieve an emergency high rate of descent, Set:
1 Propellers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Maximum RPM
2 Power Levers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . IDLE
3 Airspeed . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 194.5 Kts IAS (VNE)
The rate of descent will be approximately 5,000 ft/min in a steep nose down attitude
(about 25° nose down). Higher rates of descent may be obtained by executing a steep
descending turn in either direction with bank angles up to 45°. Care must be taken to
avoid over-controlling and exceeding airspeed and flight load factor limitations in steep,
descending turns.
n
Caution...
Altimeter indications lag by 100 ft per 1,000 ft/min rate of climb or
e
descent.
3.11. GLIDE
c im
In the event of failure to restart an engine following a double engine flame-out, the
aircraft will be committed to a forced landing. The optimum glide is achieved by:
p e
1 Power levers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . IDLE
s
3 FLAPS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . UP
4 Airspeed . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 90 Kts IAS
Note...
Rate of descent = approximately 1100 ft/min or 1.4 nm range/1,000 ft
altitude.
As flaps are lowered for the subsequent landing, the rate of descent increases
significantly. Flaps DOWN should not be selected until sure of reaching the intended
point of touch-down.

Section 3
3.13.e. Landing Without Elevator Control

In the unlikely event of the loss of elevator control it has been demonstrated, as part of
the aeroplane's certification programme, that it may be safely landed by use of the
elevator trim control. Speed and descent may be controlled by use of the elevator trim
and engine power controls. An approach speed of 85 kt is recommended using T.O. flap
with condition levers selected to 90 per cent. Power adjustments should be kept to a
minimum, and the aeroplane should be levelled with the elevator trim to touchdown on
the mainwheels before closing the power levers.
3.13.f. Precautionary Landings

A precautionary landing implies landing at an airspeed slower than normally scheduled
to obtain minimum ground run. The technique is to commence a normal powered
approach, with flaps DOWN selected, reducing the airspeed and stabilising at not less
than VREF [Precautionary Landing] as scheduled in Table 3-3.

Control the rate/angle of descent using engine power. Maintain the VREF speed to
touchdown to avoid landing tail bumper first. At touchdown, retard the power levers and
commence maximum braking consistent with avoiding wheel lock-up as soon as the
nosewheel makes ground contact. Progressively move the control column fully back to
achieve the maximum weight transfer to the main wheels. Two aspects need to be
considered:
1. The nose attitude is high during the final stage of the approach and the intended
landing area disappears from the pilot's view at about 100 ft AGL making lateral
judgement across the landing area more difficult.
2. If the surface of the intended landing area is wet grass, it is relatively easy to lock-up
the mainwheels if brake application is too hard. The residual thrust at idle power is
sufficient to allow the aircraft to ‘skate’ for a considerable distance under these
conditions. If the intended landing area is confined it is recommended that the
condition levers are moved to FUEL OFF FEATHER immediately on touch down.

Section 3
3.13.g. Landing with a Flat Tyre

The dual wheel configuration for the main undercarriage allows for a normal landing with
one flat tyre on either main wheel with no loss of directional control. Braking should be
consistent with runway distance available and the aircraft taxied off the runway. A
second flat tyre on the same undercarriage leg will result in reduced directional control
with the aircraft swinging in the direction of the flat tyres; in this event, shut down the
engine on the outside of the swing which will assist in regaining directional control.
There may be loss of directional control when landing with a flat nose-wheel tyre.
Asymmetric braking with the control column held fully back will assist in stopping the
aircraft with minimal side loads on the undercarriage.
3.13.h. Landing With a Defective Landing Gear

Landing with a defective landing gear implies damage to the fixed undercarriage or
n
failure of a torque link.
e
With a damaged undercarriage, complete collapse may occur during the landing roll.
im
A failed nose wheel torque link will result in loss of normal directional control. Failure of
a mainwheel torque link will result in the mainwheel unit rotating about the undercarriage
c
leg when the wheels make ground contact and a risk of the main undercarriage leg
e
collapsing.

3.17.a. MAGNETIC DRAIN PLUG (CHIP WARNING) INDICATION
Red L.CHIP or R.CHIP annunciators display on the central annunciator panel if metal
particles are present in the engine oil system. Should such a display occur, the engine
manufacturer warns “LAND AND INSPECT THE MAGNETIC PLUGS AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE. THIS LIGHT IS AN INDICATION OF CONDITIONS WHICH COULD
CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE. WHEN FLYING A MULTI-ENGINE AIRCRAFT, REDUCE
THE AFFECTED ENGINE OUTPUT POWER TO THE MINIMUM REQUIRED FOR
FLIGHT AND LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE. IF THE LIGHT IS ACCOMPANIED
n
BY ABNORMAL NOISES, OIL PRESSURE OR TEMPERATURE, AND SINGLE-
ENGINED FLIGHT CAN BE MAINTAINED, SHUT DOWN AFFECTED ENGINE AND

c i
p e
s
3.17.b. ENGINE LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATION
In the event of abnormally low oil pressure in either engine for the appropriate power
setting (Section 2 refers), the engine manufacturer recommends immediate shut-down
of the affected engine. A red L.OIL or R.OIL annunciator will display on the central
annunciator panel only when a serious loss of oil pressure occurs (below nominally
2
50 lb/in ). Before shutting down the engine, it is the pilot's responsibility to cross-check
the symptoms and decide whether, in view of the mission on hand, terrain clearance
and other considerations, it would be less hazardous to postpone the shut-down until a
later stage in the flight.

3.19. FUEL
3.19.a AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP FAILURE
If an auxiliary fuel pump fails, the appropriate back-up fuel pump must be switched ON.
Note...
The use of auxiliary fuel pumps is only necessary above 5,000 ft.
3.19.b. FUEL FILTER IMPENDING BY-PASS WARNING
n
Each engine-driven fuel pump incorporates a filter which is interconnected with a
e
differential pressure switch. Progressive accumulation of foreign matter will eventually
block the filter, allowing fuel to by-pass internally. Before this condition occurs, however,
m
the increased pressure will be sensed by the pressure switch and the defect signalled to
i
the relevant amber light (L FUEL FILTER or R FUEL FILTER) on the central annunciator
c
panel. When this warning occurs the pilot need not take immediate action but should
report the matter for rectification before the next flight. Unless rectified on the ground
e
the warning will, of course, recur at the next engine start as soon as electrical power and
fuel flow are on line. In these circumstances the pilot should not accept the aircraft for
p
service.

Section 3
3.21. ELECTRICAL FAILURE

3.21.a. GENERAL
These emergency procedures refer to system failures rather than operational errors,
even though the indications may be the same. All warning lamps are contained in the
central annunciator panel on the main instrument panel.
Electrical system failure indications
• Ammeter: may be switched to measure the output current of each generator, or the
charge-discharge of the battery. Indications in the red sector are abnormal.
• Amber generator failure warning lamps: L. GEN and R. GEN
n
• Voltmeter: measures the busbar voltage which is nominally 27.75 volts.
e
• Circuit Breakers: expose a white collar when open.
m
• Low volt busbar: red flashing warning lamp BUSBAR.
c i
• Battery has been inadvertantly turned off while the generators are on: BATT OFF.

Note...
The live generator will normally carry the full main busbar load.
CAUTIONS...
1. Failure of a generator will result in the loss of powerplant anti-icing for
the engine concerned and therefore, flight in visible moisture
conditions in ambient air temperatures below 5 deg C is prohibited.
2. Failure of a generator will automatically disconnect the auxiliary
busbar and its electrical loads.

Section 3
3.21.c. LOSS OF BOTH GENERATORS
Indications

After load shedding, use of the following electrical systems must be limited to essential
operations only.
• WING FLAP
• LIGHTS — LANDING (L)
• LIGHTS — NAVIGATION
• LIGHTS — COCKPIT
• RADIO — VHF 1 limit total transmission time to less than 3 minutes
The battery has sufficient capacity for at least 30 minutes flight without benefit of the
generators, night or day, provided the measures listed above are carried out within 5
minutes of the start of ‘battery only’ operation.

Section 3
3.23. EMERGENCY EVACUATION

3.23.a. OPERATION OF CABIN DOORS
All three cabin doors are placarded as emergency exits and should be opened in the
normal way as the first resort in making an emergency exit from the cabin. In the case of
the pilot's door, the interlock mechanism, if still engaged, can be overridden by pushing
the red lock-release lever with one hand whilst operating the internal door handle with
the other hand. Whenever this is necessary, ensure that the propeller has stopped
turning before the door is opened, since the object of the mechanism is to prevent injury
from that cause. The lock release lever is situated just to the rear of the pilot's door
aperture, in the cabin side wall.
3.23.b. OPERATION OF CABIN WINDOW EXITS
n
If the cabin doors cannot be opened, particularly if the aeroplane comes down onto
water, each emergency `pull-in' window can be removed as follows:-
e
Grip the red handle at the top corner of the cabin door window and pull inwards and
m
rearwards as hard as possible to dislodge the window from its groove in the rubberised
i
moulding. Considerable physical effort may be required, especially in cold conditions.
c
3.25. AUDIO FAILURE
p e
s
3.25.a FAILURE OF AUDIO CONTROL SYSTEMS
If either audio controller fails, its internal circuitry may be bypassed by selecting
‘ISO/EMR’ on the failed controller. This will allow direct unamplified coupling to all
receivers but internal aircraft intercommunication will not be available.

Section 3a
Control/Display Unit Failures
1. An Amber/Yellow DU annunciation indicates a failure of the EHSI or EADI cooling

fan.
2. If a fan failure is indicated in flight:
• Monitor the presentation for an abnormal appearance which will indicate

impending failure.
• Although an EHSI/EADI failure is very unlikely, consideration should be given to

shutting off the system and flying with alternative instruments.
• The system heating can be reduced by lowering the intensity of the presentation.
3. A red CP annunciation indicates a control panel failure, but could be as simple as a

stuck key. Continue operation with caution, verifying the validity of displayed data by
n
reference to alternative instruments.
e
CAUTIONS...
m
1. Following failure of a red gun in any display tube, red warning
i
flags will not be visible. The pilot can ensure that all three
c
colours are operational in the display unit by checking that the
compass scale is white. White is a combination of all three
e
colours.
p
2. The EFIS Pilot’s Guide refers to yellow and amber
s
annunciations. These are to be considered as the same
colour.

Section 3a
3a.7.b. Reversionary Modes
The EFIS provides two different reversionary modes of operation in the event of a
system component failure: Composite and Display Down. These modes can be selected
by a toggle switch located on the instrument panel below the EHSI.
Composite (CMPST)
This mode is generally used to compensate for a failure of a display unit or the EADI
section of the symbol generator.
In the event of a display unit or EADI symbol generator section failure, the composite
mode may be selected for display on the remaining good display unit by means of the
EFIS Composite/Display Down switch.
The EADI display is the basis for the Composite Display with the following added:
e n
• standard lateral deviation scale
• CRS selector
• HDG selector
im
• distance information
•
c
DME HOLD annunciation
• NAV sensor selector
e
• TO/FROM information.
p
Display Down (EADI)
s
This mode is generally used to compensate for a failure of the EADI display unit or
section of the symbol generator. The Display Down mode will allow the pilot to transfer
the normal EADI display to the EHSI below.

Section 3a
3a.7.c. Symbol Generator Board Failure

There are two boards within the symbol generator. Their selection is controlled by the
EFIS input select switch (INPUT 1/INPUT 2). The INPUT 1/INPUT 2 switch is mounted
on the instrument panel below the EHSI. The normal system operating mode is with the
switch in the INPUT 1 position.
The EFIS receives inputs from one Vertical Gyro and one Directional Gyro. The
combined output from these units splits to form two inputs to the Symbol Generator (one
to each of the boards). If there is a failure of one of the boards within the Symbol
Generator, the other board can be selected using the INPUT 1/INPUT 2 switch.
Attitude Failure Indication

?
In the event of an attitude failure indication (an amber ‘ATT’ on the EADI), the
information on the EADI display must be checked against that on the standby Horizon
Gyro. If there is a difference in indicated attitude, then INPUT 2 must be selected on the
n
EFIS input select switch. If the difference remains, then the pilot must use the standby
e
Horizon Gyro. If the displays are the same, the pilot may continue to use the EADI.
m
Heading Failure Indication
i
?
c
In the event of a heading failure indication (an amber ‘HDG’ on the EHSI), the
information on the EHSI display must be checked against that on the RMI. If there is a
e
difference in indicated heading, then INPUT 2 must be selected on the EFIS input select
switch. If the difference remains, then the pilot must use the RMI. If the displays are the
p
same, the pilot may continue to use the EHSI.
s
3a.7.d. Compass Failure
A compass failure is indicated by a red HDG flag in place of the lubber line.
Simultaneously, the course pointer head and tail will declutter leaving the D-bar. The D-
bar will reorient on the face of the instrument providing horizontal deviation in the
manner of a CDI.
3a.7.e. VHF NAV or ADF Receiver OFF

If the VHF NAV or ADF receiver is OFF or indicating an internal fault, the affected
deviation scale will be flagged. The affected RMI pointer assignment annunciation will
be flagged.
3a.7.f. VORTAC or DME Station out of Range

In the event that the VORTAC or DME station is out of range or not in operation, or if for
any reason the DME receiver is operational, but not providing computed data, distance
and ground speed will be dashed on the EHSI, but no flags will be displayed.

Section 3a
3a.7.g. DME Receiver Indicating an Internal Fault

If the DME receiver is indicating an internal fault or turned off, distance and ground
speed readout will be flagged (dashed in red).
3a.7.h. Failure of the Heading or Course Control Knobs

In the event of a failure of the heading or course control knobs, red flags will appear on
the heading bug, or on the head and tail of the course pointer as appropriate.
3a.7.i. Missing or Abnormal EHSI Data

If data on the EHSI is missing or abnormal during flight, refer to alternative instruments
for usable data for the remainder of the flight.
n
Note...
e
A full description of the EFIS 40 System modes of operation are given in the Pilot’s
Guide. The Pilot must be fully conversant with this publication.

4.1.b. Oil Pressure Filter Inspection
s
Each Allison 250-B17F/1 engine installed in this aircraft is fitted with an oil pressure filter
impending by-pass indicator. A red coloured pop-out button, for this purpose, is
incorporated in the filter housing on the underside of the power turbine/accessory
gearbox assembly. A peephole in the underside of the left cowling of each engine allows
the pop-out button to be viewed. When the button is seen to be ejected it indicates that
the oil pressure filter is about to be (or may already be) by-passed - Allison Operation
and Maintenance Manual GTP 5243-2 also refers. If such an indication is noted, it must
be reported by an entry in the technical log and rectified as soon as possible.
4.1.c. External Oil Filter Inspection

The aircraft has an external engine oil filter between each engine outlet check valve and
the respective oil cooler. These filters are mounted outside the engine bays, on the rear
faces of the firewalls, and can be viewed through small access doors in the engine
nacelle tail fairings; one in each left side fairing. Characteristically similar in function to
the oil pressure filters, described above, these external oil filters also incorporate red-
coloured pop-out indicator buttons. When an impending by-pass indication is noted,
action should be taken to report and rectify it as soon as possible.

Section 4
4.3. Use of External Power
If the engines are to be started from an external power source, select EXTERNAL
SUPPLY after the supply is connected.
Notes...
1. Insertion of the ground supply socket automatically isolates the

aircraft battery from the busbar.
2. When an external power supply socket is connected to the external

supply receptacle, the DOORS warning lamp on the central
annunciator panel will illuminate, while the door is open.
e n
After the engines have been started, the socket must be withdrawn and the external
supply switch returned to the OFF position.
im
CAUTION...
The generators must not be selected ON until the external supply has
c
been disconnected, otherwise a heavy charge may be delivered to the
e
external ground supply source.

Section 4
4.5. Engine Starting

4.5.a. Preliminary notes
The engine starting procedures that follow are based upon the engine manufacturer's
authoritative operating procedures as published in GTP 5243-2 (250-B17F Operation
and Maintenance Manual).You are strongly advised to become familiar with the more
detailed information presented in GTP 5243-2.
Whenever any of the engine limitations (Section 2 of this manual refers) are exceeded,
it should be clearly understood that they must be reported and may require inspection
before further flight.
The ground starting procedure presented in this manual is for starts in ambient
temperatures of 4 deg C and above. Starts in ambient temperatures below 4 deg C must
be performed in accordance with the 'Cold Weather Starting' instructions in
GTP 5243-2.
4.5.b. Ingestion
e n
im
To avoid risk of ingestion damage, avoid engine running or taxiing over any form of
loose debris. All ground runs should be made with the aircraft headed into wind.
4.5.c.
e
Starts with TGT above 150 deg C
c
p
It is recommended that residual TGT be no more than 150 deg C when the condition
s
lever is opened and light off is attempted. Residual TGT can be reduced by motoring the
engine with the starter. If high ambient temperature conditions are encountered and the
TGT cannot be reduced to 150 deg C, motor the engine until TGT is stabilized before
opening the condition lever. Closely monitor TGT during the start.

Section 4
4.5.d. Starting Procedure
1 Select and hold the starter switch lever towards the engine to be started.
2 As N1 speed accelerates through 12 to 15 per cent, move the condition

lever forward to MAX RPM.
3 If the propeller is not rotating when 25 per cent N1 is reached, terminate

the start and investigate.
4 De-energize the starter when 58 per cent N1 speed is reached.
5 If the START light does not go off when the starter is de-energized, stop
the engines and investigate.
6 A positive indication of oil pressure must be obtained when 60 per cent

N1 is reached.
e n
7 The start is completed when a stabilized N1 speed of 60 to 65 per cent is
reached, the propeller has unfeathered and has stabilized at 59 to 69 per
cent N2.
CAUTION...
c im
Refer to section 2 for consecutive starter duty cycle limitations.
e
Notes...
s p
1. Depending upon conditions, the starting cycle for each engine takes
approximately 15 to 45 seconds.
2. To assist in starting the other engine when using the internal battery,
the generator on the operating engine may be switched ON, but an N1
speed of 70 per cent or greater must be set

Section 4
4.9. Ground Checks (before taxiing)

4.9.a. General
If the engines have been shut down for more than 15 minutes, a stabilisation period at
IDLE power for 1 minute should be allowed.
4.9.b. Overspeed Protection

With the relevant condition lever set to MAX RPM carry out the engine overspeed
protection checks for both engines as follows:
Propeller Overspeed Governor (prior to each flight).
Set N2 to 85 per cent using the power lever. Select and hold the overspeed protection
test switch to GOVERNOR TEST (do not engage for more than 20 seconds). Observe a
n
decrease in N2. Release the test switch. N2 should return to the original setting. Repeat
e
the test for the other engine.
m
CAUTION...
i
If correct functioning is not indicated by all overspeed protection tests,
c
maintenance action is required.
e
Power Turbine Electronic Overspeed Control
p
Permanently removed from both engines.
4.9.c.
s
Constant Speed Governor
With condition levers set to MAX RPM, advance power levers sufficiently to obtain 100
per cent propeller speed (approx 400 lb ft torque). Retard condition levers to the MIN
RPM gate. Propeller speed should decrease to 80 per cent with a corresponding
increase in indicated torque. Return condition levers to the MAX RPM position and
check that propeller speed increases to 100 per cent and the original torque setting is
regained. Reduce power to IDLE.
4.9.d. Electrical Checks
1 Voltmeter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Nominal busbar voltage (27.75 Volts).
2 Ammeter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Each generator is carrying an

approximately equal load
(within 20 Amps).

Section 4
4.9.e. EFIS
Make sure that the EADI information is valid before taxiing.
4.11. Taxiing
Directional control is by nosewheel steering, differential brakes, or differential power.
Minimum power is sufficient to keep the aircraft rolling on level tarmac and intermittent
short positive applications of the brakes may be necessary to check the taxiing speed.
Avoid continuous light brake pedal pressure in the interests of brake life.
CAUTION...
Light brake pedal pressure will cause brake operation. Avoid inadvertent
application of brakes when taxiing and particularly during take-off.

4.15. Take-off
4.15.a. General
To achieve the performance criteria scheduled in Section 5 of this manual, the speeds
n
and technique given below, under the heading of Recommended Procedure, must be
followed. If the aircraft has been subjected to moisture before take-off and is then
e
operated at an altitude above freezing level, it is possible for the stall warning system to
become unserviceable, because of freezing, if the pitot/stall warning heaters are not
m
switched on.
4.15.b. Take-off from Runways with Visible Standing Water
c i
e
When taking-off from runways with visible standing water, the engine igniters should be
p
on to minimize the risk of engine flameout due to water spray ingestion. These
s
conditions should be recognized by the pilot at the earliest possible time during the initial
engine start sequence. The engines should be started by selecting ON CONT for
continuous igniter operation, and leaving them selected to ON CONT until after take-off.
Take-off in conditions of significant standing water has been demonstrated, but the pilot
should monitor engine power for any temporary power loss resulting from severe water
ingestion, particularly at speeds below 40 knots IAS. If this occurs, the pilot must decide
whether to abort or continue the take-off.
4.15.c. Recommended Procedure

Align the aircraft with the runway, select condition levers to MAX RPM and advance the
power levers to obtain maximum take-off power. Release the brakes. Rotate the aircraft
at the rotation speed and climb through 50 ft at the take-off safety speed as scheduled
in Section 5.
It has been demonstrated that the aircraft is capable of taking off in a 25 kt crosswind.
Differential power is not required.

Section 4
4.15.d. After Take-off
1 At a height above 200 ft select flaps UP and trim for resultant nose heavy
condition.
2 Reduce power as required when safely clear of obstacles or terrain.
3 The best Rate and Gradient of Climb speed is 90 kt IAS, but a more
comfortable attitude is maintained at 110 kt IAS.
4 Pitot/Stall Warn heat, if selected ON during take-off, may be switched

OFF at the pilot's discretion depending upon ambient conditions.
5 Passenger notices may be selected OFF at the pilot’s discretion.
4.17. Handling in Flight

4.17.a. General Flying
e n
m
The aircraft is easy to fly at all speeds and has no unusual features.
4.17.b Engine Power Setting
c i
p e
The Allison 250-B17F/1 engine is certificated to operate at the maximum continuous
TGT of 810 deg C (red radial line on the TGT indicator), however, optimum engine life is
s
not achieved when engines are operated for prolonged periods at, or near, the limit.
For normal operations it is recommended that following the use of Maximum Take-Off
Power for five minutes during take-off and initial climb, no more than Normal Cruise
Power is used. Normal Cruise Power is achieved by setting 983 lb ft torque with 100 per
cent N2. A normal cruise TGT limit of 752 deg C should also be observed.
The limits of 810 deg C TGT and 105 per cent N1 can be used for:
• One engine inoperatve flight at Maximum Continuous Power
• Balked landing at Maximum Take-Off Power.
The engine manufacturer’s maintenance programmes are based upon operations in
accordance with the above recommendations and it is important, therefore, that they are
carefully observed.

Section 4
4.17.c. Change of Engine Characteristics with Height

At a constant power lever setting, the torque will decrease with altitude, thus the power
levers should be advanced to maintain constant power. This will be accompanied by
increases in TGT and N1. The altitude at which TGT or N1 become limiting defines the
maximum altitude at which ground level maximum power can be maintained.
4.17.d. Flight at High Altitude

If the aircraft is flown at heights above 5000 ft the auxiliary fuel pumps must be selected
ON to maintain positive pressure. For further information refer to 3.19.a. AUXILIARY
FUEL PUMP FAILURE and 7.25.c. Fuel Distribution.
If the aircraft is flown above 15000 ft the minimum allowable N1 is 70%. For further
information refer to Section 3a paragraph 3a. Engine Speed Monitor System Operation.
n
To prevent sluggish action of the propeller governors, which may arise due to the very
low ambient temperatures encountered at high altitudes, it is recommended that the
e
governors are periodically exercised by means of the propeller condition levers.
m
4.17.e. Use of Engine Anti-ice System
c i
When flying at outside air temperatures of +5 deg C or less, in conditions where visible
e
moisture exists, ENGINE ANTI-ICE for both engines must be selected as shown in table
4-1 below. Ensure that ENGINE ANTI-ICE remains on during flight in such conditions.
s p
Table 4-1 Power Plant Anti-ice Settings
Outside Air Temperature Power Plant Anti-ice Setting
+5 deg C to -20 deg C FAST
Below -20 deg C SLOW
CAUTION...
The formation of intake ice may cause rapid power loss. Selecting Power
ENGINE ANTI-ICE to FAST or SLOW, after intake ice has formed, may
cause engine flame-out.
If icing conditions are inadvertently encountered, or intake icing is suspected,

immediately select ENGINE ANTI-ICE to FAST or SLOW for the selected engine.
Confirm correct operation of the selected engine for approximately ten seconds before
repeating the ENGINE ANTI-ICE selection for the other engine.
A small TGT rise (approximately 50 deg C) indicates compressor anti-icing (bleed air)
function. An indication in the appropriate green band of the engine anti-ice ammeter
indicates satisfactory engine anti-ice operation.

4.17.j. Flying at Reduced Speed

Lower flaps to T.O. position. This enables a more comfortable attitude to be maintained
at 85 kt IAS. The maximum speed in this condition must not exceed 116 kt IAS.
4.17.k. Flying in turbulence

The recommended "Rough Air Speed" in turbulence is 109 kt IAS.
st
Section 4
4.17.l. Stalling
Stalls are characterized by pitch attitude breaks, accompanied by some controllable
rolling and yawing motion. The stall warning system provides an audible warning at a
speed no lower than 5 kt above the stall. Recovery action is normal. Provided the
recovery action is taken promptly, the height loss will be small. Table 4-2 shows the
applicable stalling speeds for combinations of weights and flap settings, with power off,
at the forward CG position.

6.1. Aircraft Weighing Procedure

The aircraft Basic Weight is determined by weighing the aircraft in accordance with the
Aircraft Maintenance Publication procedure, and carrying out the following sequence of
actions:
1. Weigh the aircraft with:
• all the non-removable role equipment fitted
• all fixed customer options fitted.
• all other equipment removed
2. Subtract the weight of the oil and the fuel that was in the aircraft when weighed
(including the undrainable quantities).
3. Subtract any other items that were weighed but do not form a part of the Basic
Weight.
4. Add the weight of any items which were not in the aircraft when weighed but do form
n
a part of the Basic Weight
5. Add the weight of the unusable fuel and
e
6. Add the weight of the usable and unusable oil.
m
The sum of all the above will give the aircraft Basic Weight.
6.3. Aircraft Weight and Balance Forms
c i
e
The following Forms present a total coverage of the state of the aircraft at the time of the
p
current weighing.
s
Each time the aircraft is weighed Forms 6-1 and 6-2 must be replaced by new or
equivalent Forms furnishing the correct information.
Each time an article or Modification which amends the Running Basic Weight is included
on the Weight and Balance Record, Form 6-3, a new Weight and CG Schedule,
Form 6-4, is required to reflect the new Basic Weight.
6.3.a. BN2T-4S Weighing Form

The BN2T-4S Islander Weighing Form, Form 6-1, was used to establish and record the
aircraft Basic Weight from the weighing data. Aircraft leading particulars relevant to the
weighing procedure are included.
6.3.b. Weighing Checklist

The Weighing Checklist, Form 6-2, lists the items of basic equipment and optional
equipment specified in the Weighing Form that were installed on the aircraft when it was
weighed.
21st May 1997 Effectivity: BCAR only 6-3

Section 6
6.3.c. Weight and Balance Record

The aircraft Basic Weight is recorded on the Basic Weight and Balance Record sheet,
Form 6-3. Changes in the weight and balance values due to the addition or removal of
any basic or optional equipment must be recorded on this form; any changes in the
aircraft weight and balance due to modification action must also be recorded on this
form.
6.3.d. Weight and Centre of Gravity Schedule

The Weight and Centre of Gravity Schedule, Form 6-4, lists the aircraft Basic Weight,
Variable Load and Loading Information (Disposable Load).
6.3.e. Weight and Balance Loading Form

Make sure that the aircraft is loaded within its Centre of Gravity envelope by compiling a
n
Weight and Balance Loading Form, Form 6-5, before each flight, for which an example is
e
shown on Page 6-21. To assist in the compilation of the form, Tables 6-2 and 6-3
contain weight, arm and moment data for occupants and fuel respectively.
im
6.5. Weight and Balance Determination for Flight
c
The moment datum is the wing leading edge; Station 134.5 i.e. 134.5 inches aft of
e
Station 0.
p
Information on cabin dimensions and floor loading is contained in Figs 6-1 and 6-2.
s
Extreme care must be taken to ensure that during loading, a proper check is kept upon
the fuel and cargo placed on board.
If any item of cargo is to be carried, which has density and or shape precluding the use
of the mean cargo area arms, the load moment of that item must be computed
separately.
All cargo must be carefully secured, Fig 6-3 shows four and six point lashing systems
using cargo restraints. Fig 6-4 shows the weight and centre of gravity limits in graphical
format and Table 6-1 shows the same information in tabular format.
The total weight and moment must be within the approved weight and centre of gravity
limits. It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensure that the aircraft is loaded correctly.
The Basic Weight and applicable moment are shown on the Weighing Form. If the
aircraft has been altered, refer to the Basic Weight and Balance Record for this
information.

Section 7
7.1. General
The BN2T-4S Islander aircraft is a rugged, dependable turbine engined twin, with
outstanding low speed and handling performance.
This Section describes the various aircraft systems in sufficient detail to enable the
pilot new to the type to rapidly become familiar with the BN2T-4S Islander.
7.3. Airframe
The fuselage is of semi-monocoque construction built up from fabricated frames, and is
increased in length by 30 inches ahead of the wing as compared to the BN2 Islander
fuselage. The wing is built in one piece and integrally constructed nacelles provide
support for the fixed extension tubes of the main undercarriage units. Fuel tanks are
situated outboard of each engine nacelle and are an integral part of the wing structure
between the front and rear spars. The one-piece tail plane is of similar construction to
n
the wing. Stabilons are mounted on the fin. The control surfaces are all metal, embody
mass balance weights and are aerodynamically balanced.
7.5. Flight Controls
m e
i
Conventional manually operated flight controls are installed at both pilot’s positions.
c
Figs. 7-1, 7-2 and 7-3 show the layout of the flight controls.
e
Ailerons and rudder control systems are cable operated while the elevator is operated by
p
a combination of push-pull rods and cables. The left aileron has an electrically operated
s
trim tab, the right aileron a balance tab. The aileron trim is operated by a rocker switch
on the pilot’s handwheel. The rudder trim system is operated by a handwheel in the
cabin roof and the elevator trim system by a handwheel on the right side of the pilot’s
console. The degree of trim applied is shown by separate indicators for each system.
The trim controls and indicators are shown in Fig. 7-2.

7.9. Flight Instruments

7.9.a. Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS)
Operation of the BENDIX/KING EFS 40 Electronic Flight Instrument System is
covered by the BENDIX/KING ‘Pilot’s Guide to the EFS 40/50’ to which reference must
be made.
Minor system differences in the BN2T-4S installation are addressed below
Ground Handling
The gyros require approximately 25 minutes to spin down and stop at any time after
the inverters have been selected OFF.
CAUTION...
n
During the spin down period the aircraft should not be moved as damage
may occur to the gyros. If the aircraft has to be moved within 30 minutes of
e
the inverters being selected OFF, electrical power must be provided and the
inverters re-selected ON to power the gyros.
im
System Configuration
c
The modular design of the EFS 40 system allows it to be installed in various
e
configurations, and interfaced with other aircraft systems.
p
The system comprises two 4 inch display screens in the pilot’s position and is
s
configured for ADF 1, ADF 2, VOR/ILS 1, VOR/ILS 2, GPS, DME 1 and DME 2
sensors.
DME hold
When DME HOLD is selected, DME information on the EHSI screen is blanked and
only appears on the separate DME indicator.
Display Input
The EFIS receives inputs from one Vertical Gyro and one Directional Gyro. The combined
output from these units is split to form two inputs to the Symbol Generator (one to each of
the two boards within the Symbol Generator). In the event of a board failure, the other can
be selected using the INPUT 1/INPUT 2 switch.
The board selection within the symbol generator is thus controlled by the EFIS input select
switch (INPUT1/INPUT 2) which is mounted on the instrument panel below the EHSI. The
normal system operating mode is with the switch in the INPUT 1 position. When INPUT 2
is selected there is an ‘ATT 2’ indication on the EADI and a ‘HDG 2’ indication on the EHSI.
If an attitude failure indication occurs during flight, then the EADI display should be selected
to INPUT 2. If attitude failure indication remains displayed, the Standby horizon gyro must
be used for attitude reference.

Section 7
A similar technique applies to the EHSI - the RMI must be used if a heading failure
indication occurs.
7.9.b. EFIS - Display Features

A three position switch provides the following selections:
• Up COMPOSITE display
• Centre NORMAL display
• Down DISPLAY DOWN
Changing from one display to another requires approximately one second and is
accompanied by an audio warning.
7.9.c. EFIS - Composite Display
n
In the event of a display unit or symbol generator EADI section failure, selecting
e
COMPOSITE will provide an EADI display on the remaining good display unit. Added
to this display will be a standard lateral deviation scale, selected CRS, selected HDG,
m
selected NAV sensor and TO/FR information.
c i
7.9.d. EFIS Display Down
e
The DISPLAY DOWN selection is used to compensate for a failure of the EADI display
p
or a section of its symbol generator. On selection, the EADI display transfers to the
EHSI screen.

Section 7
7.9.e. Stand-by Compass

To obtain an accurate reading from the stand-by compass the following conditions
must be observed:
1. Switch OFF the left and right generators
2. DO NOT trip any circuit breakers
3. Switch OFF all but the following electrical systems:
DAY NIGHT
Pitot and stall warning heaters Pitot and stall warning heaters
VHF No. 1 VHF No. 1
n
ADF ADF
e
Beacon Beacon
Nav Lights
im
Instrument panel lights
c
CAUTION...
e
If these actions are not performed, the electrical system will introduce
p
unpredictable deviations to the stand-by compass reading.
s
Deviation card
The stand-by compass is affected by local magnetic field deviations caused by electrical
equipment and airframe structure. These deviations are measured under the conditions
listed above and recorded on the compass deviation card. The compass deviation card
for the stand-by compass is positioned on the windscreen central pillar. The central
column of the deviation card shows the required heading, while the day or night columns
show the compass reading that should be steered to achieve the required heading.

Section 7
7.11. Flap System

7.11.a. Description
The electrically operated single-slotted flap system can be selected to three flap
positions: UP, T.O. and DOWN. An actuator on the wing rear spar operates the flaps
through a system of push-pull rods. The actuator is controlled by a selector switch on
the pilot’s console. Three indicator lamps on the main instrument panel show the
position of the flaps. Fig 7-10 shows the layout of the wing flaps system.
7.11.b. Operation
To select flaps T.O. from the flaps UP position, the flap selector switch must be
selected and held downwards for half a second and then released. Repeat this
procedure to select flaps DOWN from flaps T.O. To select flaps T.O. from the flaps
DOWN position, the flap selector switch must be selected and held upwards for half a
n
second and then released. Repeat this procedure to select flaps UP from flaps T.O.

Section 7
7.13. Landing Gear

The non-retractable tricycle undercarriage comprises twin-wheel main units and a
single wheel steerable nose unit. Tyre pressures are 40 psi in the mainwheels and 45 psi
in the nosewheel.
Nosewheel steering is directly linked to the rudder bar by cables, and the nosewheel is
self-centred by a bungee linkage. If the nosewheel is deflected by more than 18 degrees
either side of centre the steering disengages to give a free castoring mode allowing a
tighter turn radius. Application of opposite braking and differential power stops the turn,
and the steering re-engages once the nosewheel alignment is again within 18 degrees
of the aircraft centreline.
7.15. Avionics Compartments

The positioning of avionics within the aircraft depends on customer specified equipment.
n
Basic aircraft avionics are installed in the nose upper bay, which is accessed through two
e
gullwing doors, or in two lower nose cheek bays accessed through dzus fastened panels.
Further avionics may be installed in the rear fuselage.
7.17. Engine
c im
e
The aircraft is powered by two Allison 250-B17F/1 free turbine turboprop engines,
p
flat-rated to 400 s.h.p. This power output is maintained from Sea Level up to a height of
approximately 8000 ft under Standard Day conditions. The engines are controlled by
s
the two POWER levers through the operating range between the maximum take-off
torque permitted (1035 lb ft) MAX, and the IDLE position at 61-64% N1.
The two ENGINE ANTI-ICE switches provide electrical icing protection to the engine
air intakes and propellers as well as bleed air protection to the compressor inlet guide
vanes and front bearing hub.
Refer to Section 7.41.a. for fuller information on engine and propeller anti-icing.
7.19. Propeller
Two Hartzell three-bladed HC-C3YF-5F/FC-7818(K) constant speed fully feathering
propellers are fitted. The operating pitch range of the propellers is controlled by the
two CONDITION levers between the MAX RPM position and the FUEL OFF
FEATHER position, passing through a MIN RPM gate. Propeller speed governing is by
means of a propeller/power turbine governor, as well as a propeller overspeed
governor, fitted to each Power Plant.
The propellers have electrically heated anti-icing boots. Operation of the respective
ENGINE ANTI-ICE switches mounted on the Pilot’s Switch panel supplies current to
the propeller on the same side.

Section 7
7.21. Doors, Windows and Exits

7.21.a. Emergency Evacuation
Refer to Section 3.23 for full emergency evacuation information.
7.21.b. Safety Features

The pilot’s door is electrically interlocked with the left engine to prevent it being opened
when the engine is running. The interlock mechanism has a time-delay circuit that
maintains the interlock for a nominal 20 seconds after engine shutdown to allow
propeller rundown. A manual override lever, to the rear of the pilots door aperture,
enables the pilot to overpower the interlock mechanism in an emergency by moving the
override lever rearwards. If the pilot’s door is unlocked, an audible warning will sound if
the left engine is running or if the engine starter switch is selected to the left engine. In
addition, if either of the passenger main doors in the cabin is not closed and the handle
n
in the LOCKED position, or the ground supply door is open, the DOORS warning light on
the central annunciator panel will be lit.

Section 7
7.23. Seats and Seat Belts

7.23.a. Flight Compartment
Individual fixed seats are fitted for the flight crew, varied leg lengths being allowed for
by setting the adjustable rudder pedals.
Individually adjustable pilot’s seats are a customer option. If specified they are installed
on fixed rails to allow fore and aft movement with adjustment controls for seat back angle
and height. When these seats are fitted, Row 2 in the passenger cabin should not be
fitted with a fixed bench seat.
7.23.b. Cabin
The passenger cabin can be fitted with bench seats, either fixed position or sliding on
seat rails. As an alternative the individual adjustable seats are also a customer option.
n
Further seats may be mounted on the step at the rear of the cabin.
e
7.23.c. Seat Belts
im
All seats are equipped with diagonal shoulder harnesses. A lap strap is attached to the
seat frame while the shoulder strap inertia reel is attached to the aircraft fuselage. The
c
shoulder strap is joined to the lap strap by a connector that attaches between the lap
e
strap buckle and its connector. To release the harness, lift the buckle cover, the lap
strap will separate and allow the shoulder strap to retract. When the shoulder strap is
p
not in use it must be stowed on the hook provided.
s
For take-off and landing the position of the sliding seats should be adjusted so that the
inertia reel guide is behind the occupant’s shoulder.

Section 7
7.25. Fuel System

7.25.a. General
The fuel system includes three sub-systems:
• Fuel Storage
• Fuel Distribution
• Fuel Indicating
7.25.b. Fuel Storage

Four fuel tanks, left and right mains left and right transfers, are built into the wing
structure. The inboard ‘main’ and outboard ‘transfer’ tanks in each wing are separated
by a weir. A recirculating system continually pumps fuel from the transfer tank to the
main tank. Because the engines will always use less fuel than is being transferred, the
n
fuel level in the main tank will increase until it reaches the top of the weir, fuel will than
e
pour back into the transfer tank. The pilot has no control over the operation of the
transfer pumps. The engines are fed only from the sump in each main tank.
m
7.25.c. Fuel Distribution
c i
A schematic diagram of the fuel distribution system is shown in Figure 7-11. Fuel is
normally supplied from the main fuel tank to the engine on the same wing. The pilot
e
controls fuel supply to the engines using the left and right fuel cock selectors on the
p
cabin roof (see Fig. 7-12). Depending on the positions of the selectors the normal or
cross-feed supply can be selected, an OFF position is also available.
s
Auxiliary fuel pumps are provided only to maintain the engine manufacturer’s fuel inlet
pressure specification above 5000 ft and must, therefore, be selected ON above this
altitude to maintain positive pressure (See Altitude Limitation in Section 2). Satisfactory
function of the auxiliary fuel pumps is shown by a positive fuel pressure indication, the
extent of which depends upon the power setting. (Below 5000 ft, with auxiliary fuel
pumps off, a negative fuel pressure indication may occur and is quite normal). An
emergency back-up pump is provided for each auxiliary fuel pump. Only two circuit
breakers are provided for the four auxiliary pumps; to maintain system independence
the left circuit breaker is connected to the left main auxiliary pump and the right back-up
pump, while the right circuit breaker is connected vice versa. The auxiliary main and
auxiliary back-up fuel pump switches are located on the roof instrument panel (see
Fig. 7-6).
7.25.d. Fuel Indicating

The contents of the fuel tanks are shown on separate gauges for left and right, main
and transfer tanks. Fuel pressure gauges and a totalizer gauge that indicates fuel
consumed in pounds (lb) are installed in the roof instrument panel.

Section 7
7.25.e. Refuelling
When refuelling the aircraft the following procedures should be followed:
• Park the aircraft with the wings level.
• To ensure correct weight and balance calculations, always refuel with known
quantities.
• Whenever possible, aircraft fuel tanks should be full to minimise water condensation.
7.25.f. Preparation for flight

Before the first flight of the day and at other times as necessary when climatic conditions
combine to produce a risk of moisture ingress, draw off a reasonable amount of fuel from
each of the tank drain points (Figs. 4-1 and 7-11 refer). Should water content be evident,
ensure that all traces are expelled before taking off. Selection of the fuel system controls
is detailed in the preceding paragraphs, and referred to in the sequential checks of Section
n
4 which the pilot is required to perform before and during flight.
e
7.25.g. Operation in ambient temperatures of 0 deg C or below
m
General
c i
When committed to prolonged operation in temperatures of 0 deg C or below, a lack of
anti-icing additive in the fuel will cause fuel filter icing and subsequent engine “flame-
e
out”. It is therefore essential to refuel the aircraft with fuel having an approved additive
p
already blended in, or to arrange for any untreated fuel to have the additive introduced at
the time of refuelling. (Section 2 of this manual refers). The following information
s
describes the recommended procedure for introducing a typical fuel anti-icing additive
during the refuelling operation.
Anti-icing additives
WARNING...
FUEL ADDITIVE MAY BE HARMFUL IF INHALED OR SWALLOWED. USE
ADEQUATE VENTILATION. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES. IF
SPRAYED INTO EYES, FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER AND
CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
Before refuelling, check with the fuel supplier to determine if the fuel contains an anti-
icing additive meeting the requirements of MIL-I-85470A or DEF STAN 68-252. Fuel
which contains the additive, as blended at the refinery, will need no further treatment and
may be used as supplied. If the fuel does not contain anti-icing additive, however, use
the blending procedure described below. The additive concentration by volume shall be
a minimum of 0.060 per cent and a maximum of 0.15 per cent.

Section 7
Attach a “Hi-Flow Prist” Blender (Model PHF-204, manufactured by Houston Chemical

Corp., Pittsburgh, Pa., USA) to the refuelling nozzle, making sure that the blender
discharges into the fuel stream.
Ensure that refuelling hose is electrically bonded to tank inlet bonding peg before
commencing. For quantities loaded, use the calibrated bowser or fixed base pump
metering gauges. Confirm fuel load on the aircraft fuel gauges after refuelling has
been completed, or by dipsticking the tanks.
Start refuelling (minimum 30 US gal/min maximum 60 US gal/min) while simultaneously

fully depressing and slipping ring over trigger of blender. A rate of less than 30 US
gal/min may be used when topping off.
Ensure that the additive is directed into the fuel stream and that additive flow is started
after fuel flow starts and is stopped before fuel flow stops. Do not allow undiluted
additive to contact interior of fuel tank or aircraft painted surface. Use one full can of 20
n
fl.oz of additive in not more than 260 US gallons of fuel or less than 104 US gallons of
fuel in order to achieve the required blending rate.
e
7.27. Brake System
im
Each main landing gear unit has twin mainwheels with twin Cleveland disc brake
c
assemblies. The hydraulic brake system has toe brakes fitted to both sets of rudder
pedals, which directly apply pressure to the brake master cylinders, left and right,
e
mounted on the rudder bar assemblies.
s p
A T-handle is fitted on the centre pedestal, with a pull and 90 degree twist action to
lock the PARK BRAKE on.

Section 7
7.29. Electrical System

7.29.a. General
To promote a better understanding, a simplified diagram of the main power supplies and
distribution services is illustrated in Fig. 7-13. Clear instructions for operation of the
various electrical system in the aircraft are, however, given in the sequential checks and
procedures which the pilot is required to perform before and during flight (See Section 4
Normal Procedures). All main services are protected by thermal-type circuit breakers
which can be re-set in flight. A tripped circuit breaker should only be re-set once. If it fails
to reset or trips a second time no further attempts to reset it should be made in flight.
The cause of the failure should be investigated, without delay, upon landing. Minor
services are protected by fuses which are inaccessible in flight and fuse failures will
affect the circuits concerned until rectified on the ground.
7.29.b. Generator Failure
n
The failure of one or both generators will cause the Auxiliary Busbar to be disconnected
e
and therefore all items of equipment fed from the Auxiliary Busbar will lose their power
supply. Reinstatement of supply from both generators will restore power to the Auxiliary
m
Busbar.
c i
Each generator supplies power directly to its own power plant anti-icing system and
therefore failure of a generator will result in the loss of Power Plant Anti-icing on the
e
engine concerned.

7.31. Lighting Systems
7.31.a. General
The aircraft lighting system can conveniently be split into:
• Flight compartment lights

• Cabin lights
• External lights
7.31.b. Flight compartment lights

• Overhead Map lights are installed in the flight compartment roof, with switches and
dimmers in the light mountings.
• Instrument panel lights; a judicious mix of pillar lights, internally lit instruments and
n
Translite panels are installed where appropriate. The COCKPIT/OFF panel light switch
and the rotary dimmer switch are located on the pilot’s Switch panel.
e
7.31.c. Cabin lights
im
• The PASSENGER NOTICES display is on the forward cabin roof, with the switch
located on the LIGHTING section of the pilot’s Switch panel.
c
• Cabin lights are positioned in the cabin roof trim, with master switch selection on the
e
pilot’s Switch panel and individual switch selection at each light.
p
• A baggage compartment door light is fitted, with a switch next to the door.
s
7.31.d. External lights
• NAVIGATION lights are located on the wing tips and the tail cone.
• The red Strobe anti-collision BEACON is mounted on the top of the rudder.
• LANDING lights, LEFT and RIGHT are positioned in the wing leading edges inboard
of each wing tip. The circuit breaker for the LEFT light is on the Battery circuit breaker
panel, and that for the RIGHT light on the Generator circuit breaker panel. All external
light switches are on the pilot’s Switch panel.

7.33 Cabin Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning

7.33.a. Cabin ventilating system
For cabin ventilation on the ground, the ventilation blower within the cabin heater may be
used. Select FAN on the HEAT rotary switch in the ENVIRONMENT control section of
the pilots Switch panel. Fresh air is provided to each seat station by an independent
adjustable overhead passenger service ducting system, or underfloor ducting on those
aircraft also fitted with air conditioning.
7.33.b. Cabin heater system

The cabin heater can be used whilst the aircraft is on the ground. To start the heater, first
select LOW on the rotary switch then HEATER START, both on the ENVIRONMENT
control panel, and the system will then operate, automatically, to a temperature datum
monitored by a probe in the heater delivery duct. The temperature datum can be varied
by means of the rotary switch between LOW and HIGH.
n
If the overheat thermostat should fail or there is insufficient air flow to enable its correct
e
operation the heater fuel supply is automatically shut off. The overheat switches
embodied in the heater are connected to the HEATER annunciator on the central
m
annunciator panel. Should this annunciator display, it can only be rectified by depressing
i
a “reset” button on the heater control unit in the rear fuselage which is inaccessible in
c
flight. Unless the overheated condition occurs as a result of mishandling, it denotes a
e
serious fault which should be investigated without delay.
p
CAUTION...
s
When shutting down the heater, it is important to select FAN for at least one minute,
after switching HEAT off, to dissipate residual heat and ensure the overheat
switches are not activated.
7.33.c. Optional air conditioning

A cabin air conditioning system may be fitted to some aircraft, as an optional installation to
modification NB-M-1613. This system is pre-set to run at optimum efficiency and is
protected and controlled by a circuit breaker and a rotary switch. The switch, fitted in the
ENVIRONMENT section of the pilots Switch panel, is marked OFF-FAN-LOW-AIR
CONDITIONING-HIGH, and conditioned air is delivered into a central roof duct extending
the length of the cabin. The cooled air is then delivered into the cabin by individual
adjustable units.
The fan for the air conditioning system is mounted in the rear fuselage roof. When FAN is
selected whilst the aircraft is on the ground it delivers cabin air to the same central roof
duct, which circulates a flow of air to the passengers. The heater fan draws less current
than the conditioner fan if required to be used before engine start.

Section 7
7.35. Pitot and Static Pressure Systems

An alternative static air pressure source is fitted, in the form of a small manually operated
valve, at the extreme lower left of the pilot's instrument panel. This device allows the pilot
to open the static pipeline to the cabin atmosphere if a blockage occurs in the normal
static system. Certain instrument errors will be noticeable with the alternate static source
selected as follows:
• At any altitude, speed, flap position, power setting and with DV windows
open or closed, an altimeter discrepancy of less than 50 ft. low reading will be
incurred, within all normal flight conditions.
• With a clear pitot, the ASI reading will not be in error by more than 10kt.
A switch in the ICE PROTECTION section of the pilot’s Switch panel selects electrical
heating to the Pitot head and Stall warning when required.
7.37. Vacuum System
e n
The Vacuum System is evacuated by a vacuum pump on each engine, with left and
right regulator valves installed in their respective wing roots, feeding a distribution
m
manifold and air filter installed behind the main instrument panel. Either vacuum pump
i
on its own can supply a suction of 4.4 in Hg, together they supply 4.8 in Hg.
c
The distribution manifold supplies the Standby Artificial Horizon gyroscope, the vacuum
e
gauge, and two red popper buttons in the vacuum gauge. If either L or R engine driven
system fails, the popper button for that side will automatically come out to indicate the
p
failure.
s
The vacuum pumps can be adjusted to supply dry air from their exhaust outlets at the
higher pressure of 4.7 to 5.2 in Hg to the airframe de-icer boots, if fitted.
7.39. Stall Warning System

The aircraft is equipped with a pre-stall warning that provides an audible signal to the
pilot at speeds approximately 5 kts above the stall. The variation of warning speeds is a
function of the aircraft weight and configuration.
The switch marked PITOT & STALL WARN HEATERS in the ICE PROTECTION
section of the pilot’s switch panel supplies current to the heater for the lift detector unit
of the stall warning indicator.

Section 7
7.41. Ice Protection Systems

7.41.a. Power Plant Anti-icing:
An electrically heated engine air intake and a supply of compressor bleed air to the inlet
guide vanes and front bearing hub of the compressor protects the engine intake system
against icing. Propeller anti-icing is operated electrically. The air intake, compressor
bleed, and propeller anti-icing systems are operated by a single switch, for each engine,
on the Pilot’s Switch panel. Performance of the systems should be monitored by
selecting the engine anti-ice ammeter switch to either left or right INTAKE, or left or right
PROP, and noting the adjacent ammeter indication. For the intakes, the ammeter
reading should be between 47 and 57 amps. For the propellers, the reading should be
between 20 and 30 amps.
A timer cycles the propeller blade heaters on and off every 90 seconds on the SLOW
setting of the ENGINE ANTI-ICE switches, while the FAST setting is on for 45 seconds
n
and off for 135 seconds. The intake heater cycles on and off according to a thermal
monitor.
e
The selection of either FAST or SLOW settings by the pilot must be in accordance with
m
Section 2.9.d.
c i
CAUTION...
e
The formation of intake ice may cause rapid power loss. Selecting Power Plant
ENGINE ANTI-ICE to FAST or SLOW, after intake ice has formed, may cause
p
engine flame-out.
7.41.b. Airframe de-icing

s
Full information on the operation of the airframe ice protection systems, when these
are installed to customer options, is given in Supplement form in Section 9.
