Section 4 - Normal Procedures
Section 4 describes checklists and recommended procedures for the conduct of normal operations for P2012 aircraft.
AIRSPEEDS FOR NORMAL OPERATIONS
Single Engine Training
Safe, intentional, One Engine Inoperative Minimum Speed (VSSE): 80 KIAS
GROUND POWER OPERATION
With the aircraft connected to the external power, only the utilities on the main and essential bus are powered.
To power on the LH and RH bus:
LH and RH CROSS switches ........................................................ ON
To recharge the batteries:
MASTER switch ……………......................................................... ON
LH/RH BCK BATT switches……......................................................... ON
CHECKLISTS
Before Starting Engines
Wait PFD 1 and PFD 2 turn on and then verify the following warnings are ON:
LH-RH ALT FAIL
LH OIL PRS LO
RH OIL PRS LO
LH FUEL PRS LO
RH FUEL PRS LO
Wait MFD turns on and then verify the following indications:
Software version
INSTRUMENTS (CHECK)
Voltage on MAIN and ESSENTIAL BUS
Voltage on LH and RH Battery
Engine Starting
First Engine
Second Engine
Repeat as for first engine.
Before Taxiing
Taxing
Before Take-Off
The PFT is not to be commanded during flight. If the PFT is commanded during flight, large enough throttle movement or PFT button pushing will interrupt the PFT.
Take-Off
Before Landing
After Landing
Engines Shutdown
POWER MANAGEMENT
With the EECS monitoring and adjusting the engine operating conditions, power changes can be achieved operating both the power and throttle levers in any desired order.
The best valid engine management technique would consist in keeping the PWR always at max setting (levers full forward) throughout most of the flight and setting the desired airspeed with RPM only.
This technique has the advantage to cover a broad airspeed spectrum, also generating at each speed the lowest possible noise from the propellers. Below a certain RPM, a further airspeed decrease could be obtained reducing also the PWR levers.
Note however that it is always necessary to keep high RPM at very low airspeed, close to the ground and in all conditions where a quick power response could be critical.
