PROCEDURES

2-05-50: Before Landing:

1. Landing Gear ..............................................................................................DOWN / 3 GREEN

2. Nutcracker ........................................................................................................................ TEST

CAUTION: DO NOT ARM GROUND SPOILERS IF NUTCRACKER SWITCH

TEST IS UNSUCCESSFUL. REFER TO 3 -1 9 -8 0 : NUTCRACKER
SYSTEM FAILS TO SHIFT TO AIR MODE AT TAKEOFF.

3. Ground Spoilers ........................................................................................................... ARMED

NOTE: If touch and go landing is to be performed, GND SPLR should be OFF for this
maneuver. Manual spoiler landing distance should be taken into account.

4. Crew Alerting System .................................................................................................. CHECK

5. Flaps ....................................................................................................... SET FOR LANDING

CAUTION: DO NOT MOVE REVERSE THRUST LEVERS OUT OF THE

FORWARD THRUST POSITION PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN.

NOTE: Maintain a minimum 67% HP RPM until landing.

6. WARN INHIBIT ..................................................................................................................ON

7. Air Start Ignition ............................................................................................................................... AS REQUIRED

NOTE: It is recommended that Air Start Ignition be selected ON for landing on a runway
with standing water, slush, or snow.

8. PF Feet Position on Rudder Pedals ........................................................................... HEELS OFF FLOOR

NOTE: The pilot flying must position their feet up on the rudder pedals (heels off the
floor) prior to touchdown to provide capability to immediately apply both full
rudder deflection and full brake pedal actuation.

NOTE: Recommended final approach speed is VREF plus 10 knots. If gusty wind
conditions exist, add 1/2 of the difference between the steady state wind and gust
(maximum of additional 10 knots of gust additive). VREF will still be target speed
at the threshold.

PROCEDURES

3-17-50: Flight Hydraulic System Failure – Loss of Pressure and / or Fluid:

Continue flight to nearest suitable airport and land.
With a loss of Flight Hydraulic System fluid, the right engine shut down, the right engine fire
handle pulled or right hydraulic pump failed, there is little degradation of performance. The only
component not available is the right thrust reverser.
In the event of flight system failure:
1. YAW DAMPER ................................................................................................................. OFF
NOTE: This action disengages the autopilot if previously engaged.
2. UTILITY HYD PUMP Switch ................................................................................ NOT ARM
For Approach and Landing:
3. AUX PUMP ......................................................................................................................... ON
NOTE: For gear and flap operation after takeoff or during approach, operate one system at a
time allowing completion of cycle before operating next system, e.g.,
a. Raise gear first, then retract flaps after gear is up after takeoff.
b. Allow flaps to reach 20q before lowering gear for approach and landing.
4. Approach and Landing ........................................................ ALLOW FLAPS TO REACH 20q
BEFORE SELECTING LANDING GEAR DOWN
5. Landing Gear ..............................................................................................DOWN / 3 GREEN
6. Flaps .................................................................................................................................... .39°
7. Ground Spoilers ........................................................................................................... ARMED
8. Crew Alerting System .................................................................................................. CHECK
9. PF Feet Position on Rudder Pedals .........................................................HEELS OFF FLOOR

SECTION 3
ABNORMAL
PROCEDURES

3-17-60: Landing With Standby Electrical Power System Operating:

NOTE: If Standby Electrical Power is interrupted during the following steps, cycle the Standby
Electrical Power Switch OFF then ON.

1. Landing Gear ................................................................................................................. DOWN

2. Flaps.........................................................................................................SET FOR LANDING

3 PF Feet Position on Rudder Pedals.......................................................... HEELS OFF FLOOR

4. Emergency Batteries .............................................................................................................ON

5. Ground Spoilers .................................................................................................................. OFF

6. Maintain 67% HP RPM until touchdown.

NOTE: Once the airplane is on the ground, there is no need to continue to maintain 67% HP
RPM. The Standby Electrical System should stay on line during normal taxi maneuvers.
If Standby Electrical Power is interrupted, cycle the Standby Electrical Power Switch
OFF then ON to regain power.

7. DO NOT Use Reverse Thrust.

8. On touchdown, manually deploy the flight spoilers at a slow rate (approximately 5 seconds).

9. Use normal braking to stop the airplane.

SECTION 4
EMERGENCY
PROCEDURES

4-22-20: Emergency Descent Procedure:

The following procedure assumes structural integrity of airplane.

If airplane structural integrity is in doubt, limit speed as much as possible and avoid high
maneuvering loads.

1. Power Levers .....................................................................................................................IDLE

2. Airspeed............................................................................................... ESTABLISH MMO/VMO

NOTE: An initial pitch attitude of 8q to 10q nose down is recommended to commence descent.
As speed approaches MMO/VMO, adjust pitch attitude to avoid an overspeed condition.

3. Speed Brakes ..............................................................................................................EXTEND

4. Airspeed................................................................................................ MAINTAIN MMO/VMO

NOTE: It is recommended that the emergency descent be flown manually in order to achieve
maximum descent rate.

5. “Seat Belt/No Smoking” Signs ............................................................................................. ON

6. Transponder Code ..................................................................................................... SET 7700

7. Air Traffic Control (ATC) ........................................................................................... NOTIFY

8. Level Off .......................... 15,000 FT, OR MINIMUM ENROUTE ALTITUDE, IF HIGHER
