AIRSPEEDS (cont’d)

MINIMUM AIRSPEEDS FOR ICING CONDITIONS

The minimum airspeeds below must be used for operation in icing conditions and, with Mod. No. 3529 installed(improved stall warning system) whenever the blue ICE SPD status light is illuminated.

Definitions

VCLEAN = Final climb speed in accordance with Final Climb charts in section 6- 4.

Maneuvering = A bank angle in excess of 15 degrees in a coordinated turn.

General

10 knots shall be added to the speeds below for maneuvering with bank angles between 15 and 30 degrees.At higher bank angles, increase speed by 10 knots for each 10 degrees of bank above 30.

For all- engines operating climb below minimum sector altitude (MSA):

Maintain a minimum speed of “Enroute Climb Speed - with residual airframe and propeller ice” (VCLEAN +15)after transitioning to the Enroute Climb configuration (after initial power reduction from Take- off power).

For all- engines operating climb above minimum sector altitude (MSA), cruise, descent, holdingand approach:

SYSTEMS (cont’d)Vertical Navigation

The vertical guidance mode of the VNI 80 A, if installed, is not certified for use as a primary source for verticalnavigation.

Cargo Fire

The cargo compartment is classified as a Class C cargo compartment and has been demonstrated to providethe following minimum fire protection duration, based on cargo compartment configuration and fire protectionsystem installation:

− 70 min for aircraft with lavatory aft and Mod. No. 1149 incorporated (2 bottles)

− 60 min for aircraft with lavatory forward and Mod. No.1149 incorporated (2 bottles)

− 35 min for all other aircraft.

Attitude/Heading Reference System

During initialization on ground the aircraft must not be moved.

Take−off is not permitted:

− until 2 minutes after initialization is completed

− if attitude difference between the attitude displayed on both EFIS EADIs and the standby attitude indicator is3 degrees or more (bank and pitch)

− if the heading on the compass card is slewing away from the aircraft heading.

Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS)

Navigation is not to be predicated on the use of the Terrain (or Obstacle) Awareness Display.

NOTEThe Terrain Awareness Display is intended to serve as a situational awareness tool only. It does nothave the integrity, accuracy or fidelity on which to solely base decisions for terrain or obstacle avoid-ance.

To avoid giving nuisance alerts, the predictive TAWS functions must be inhibited by selecting the TERR IN-HIBIT button when within 15 nm of take−off, approach or landing at an airport that is not included in the airportdatabase. Refer to Honeywell document 060−4326−000 for airports contained in the installed TAWS TerrainDatabase.

RUDDER LIMITER LIGHT ON

Reduce speed until light goes out but not below 140 kts. If light still is ON at 140 kts, select the rudder limiterswitch to OVERRIDE. Max speed with the rudder limiter in OVERRIDE is 180 KIAS. Avoid large rudder deflec-tions above 150 KIAS. If rudder limiter light is on below 140 KIAS, use if possible a runway with less than 10 ktscrosswind for landing.

HYDRAULIC WARNING

Switch off the hydraulic pump.

− If both emergency and main pressures are low, extend the landing gear and land at the nearest suitableairport. Leave flaps in present position; use hand pump if brake pressure needs to be restored.

WITH MOD No. 1463 installed:

− If only emergency pressure is low, use hand pump for landing gear, flap and brake operation.

− If only main pressure is low, set the hydraulic pump to OVERRIDE; if main pressure increases, switchbetween OVERRIDE and OFF so as to maintain pressure. If there is no increase in pressure duringoverride, switch off the pump and use hand pump for landing gear, flap and brake operation.

− If main pressure and hydraulic quantity are low, pull emergency landing gear handle for gear extension.Leave flaps in present position and use hand pump if brake pressure needs to be restored.

− If all pressures are normal, use hand pump for landing gear, flap and brake operation.

WITHOUT MOD No. 1463 installed:

− If only emergency pressure is low, extend the landing gear and land at the nearest suitable airport.Leave flaps in present position; use hand pump if brake pressure needs to be restored.

AC GENERATOR FAULT

Try to reset the generator once. If it will not reset, place the generator switch in OFF/R position and, if possible,exit icing conditions.

ICE PROTECTION SYSTEM FAULT

Reset affected switch once. If the airframe or powerplant de−icing/anti−icing system is not restored, exit theicing conditions if possible.

During landing with iced−up or inflated de−ice boots, use the following flap settings and speeds:

With Mod. No. 1462 installed: Without Mod. No. 1462 installed or with Mod. Nos. 1462 and 1793 installed:

Wing fault: Flaps 20 and VREF20+10 KIAS Flaps 20 and VREF20+10 KIASor Flaps 35 and VREF35 + 10 KIAS

Stabilizer fault, orWing andstabilizer fault: Flaps 20 and VREF20 + 10 KIAS Flaps 0 and VREF20 + 30 KIAS

During landing with Master Caution (ICE PROT) and TIMER light illuminated and green STAB light notilluminating, use the following flap settings and speeds (required by AD) :

With Mod. No. 1462 installed: Without Mod. No. 1462 installed or with Mod. Nos. 1462 and 1793 installed:

Flaps 0 and VREF20 + 30 KIAS Flaps 0 and VREF20 + 30 KIAS

ALTERNATE EXTENSION OF LANDING GEAR(WITH MOD No. 1463 INSTALLED)

Select landing gear down and use the hand pump to extend the landing gear. Hand pump selector must be setto LDG GR position.

If an emergency extension has to be made, pull the emergency landing gear handle, then set landing gearhandle to DOWN.

ANTI−SKID INOPERATIVE

CAUTIONUse of wheel brakes above 40 knots without anti−skid will likely result in flat tire(s).

Avoid braking until speed has decreased to 40 knots (on long runways, use reverse thrust as far as possible toavoid braking). Review landing performance, as the delayed use of brakes increases the landing distance asfor a ”very low friction runway” (aircraft braking � 0.05).

SINGLE ENGINE LANDINGUse Flaps 20 and VREF20 + 10 KIAS. Switch off the bleed system on approach.

OIL BYPASSIf engine oil pressure is within limits, continue normal operation monitoring oil pressure.

CHIP INDICATIONReduce power and monitor engine instruments. If engine parameters deviate from normal, consider shuttingdown the engine.

UNCOMMANDED ENGINE OPERATION

NOTESmall TRQ indicator fluctuations (max 3%) in the form of oscillations or minor movements repeatedlyare acceptable if the fluctuations disappear after a Power Lever (Ng) or Condition Lever (Np) adjustment. Larger or uncontrollable fluctuations are to be considered as uncommanded engine operation, to be handledas below.

Uncommanded engine operation may be caused by sensor failure, electrical control failure or mechanical fail-ure.

The failure may create actual variations in power (increase and/or decrease in TRQ, ITT, Ng, PRPM andFuel Flow).

The failure may also be indicated on the cockpit indicators only, without any actual variations in power.

Uncommanded engine operation may affect aircraft controllability both in the air and on the ground e.g. duringtakeoff or during landing, depending on the cause of the condition.

In all cases of an UNCOMMANDED ENGINE OPERATION the Torque Motor must be locked out immedi-ately and the Autocoarsen System set to OFF.

If actual power variations continue after the Torque Motor has been locked out, consider shutdown of theaffected engine.

ENGINE TRQ AND/OR TEMP OVER LIMIT

Reduce power. If engine does not respond, shut down the engine.

PROP RPM OVER LIMIT

Set the propeller sync switch to OFF and retard the condition lever. If the propeller does not respond, shutdown the engine.

AUTOCOARSEN FAULT

Set the autocoarsen switch to OFF. Use a minimum VREF of 111 KIAS.

NOTEThis procedure does not preclude dispatch in accordance with the MMEL.

PROPELLER BRAKE (if installed)

If hydraulic warning light comes on with the propeller brake engaged, shut down the engine.
