ENGINE CONTROL MALFUNCTION

In the event there is an indication of improper operation of a fuel control or propeller control, it is recommended that the affected engine be shut down and a single engine landing accomplished.

NO RESPONSE TO POWER LEVER MOVEMENT

If either engine (or both) exhibits a lack of response to the power lever after extended operation at high altitude with OAT below freezing, the cause may be ice blockage of the P T2 inlet sensor probe. In certain flight conditions, when engine anti-ice would not normally be ON, probe icing can occur even though visible moisture is not present. If lack of power lever response is observed, the following procedure should be accomplished:

1. Ignition Switches ......................................................................................................... .......... CONT 2. Engine Heat Switch(es) ............................................................................ENGINE & PROP HEAT

This will introduce anti-icing air to the sensors (as well as the engine inlet) and normal power lever response should return within approximately 3 minutes.

After the condition has cleared and normal operation is observed, anti-ice and ignition can again be turned OFF.

3-20 6AT FAA APPROVED: MAY 13/87 CABIN PRESSURIZATION MALFUNCTIONS

LOW PRESSURE MALFUNCTION

The cabin altitude warning light illuminates when the cabin pressure is equivalent to a pressure altitude between 10,000 feet and 12,000 feet. Check cabin altitude, differential pressure and controller setting, cabin dump switch, and CAWI/Water Injection switch. If the cabin pressurization controller is not providing proper cabin pressure, change to manual operation. If the desired cabin altitude or differential pressure still cannot be attained, an excessive leak exists and it may be necessary to descend or use oxygen.

HIGH PRESSURE MALFUNCTION

If the cabin differential pressure exceeds the normal limit of 7.0 psi, the cabin pressurization controller may have failed and allowed the out fl ow valve to close. Open the manual control valve approximately 1/2 turn; select MANUAL position on the cabin pressure selector, and regulate pressure manually. If manual control is ineffective, the safety valve should relieve excess cabin pressure at 7.25 psi. Prior to landing, the cabin pressure differential must be eliminated by use of the manual control or the following alternate procedure:

1. Altitude ......................................................................................................... BELOW 12, 000 FEET *2. Bleed Air Switches ....................................................................................................... ............ OFF 3.

CARGO OR CABIN DOOR WARNING LIGHT ON

An illuminated CABIN DOOR or CARGO DOOR red warning light indicates that the affected door is not closed securely and may not be safe for fl ight. All door latches must extend fully and engage the door latch switches in order to extinguish the door warning lights. In addition, the cargo door handle must be in its fully closed position for that warning light to go out. Maladjusted door latch switches may cause nuisance illumination of either of the door warning lights. This problem typically occurs when the cabin differential pressure reaches approximately 5 psi during climbs. Reducing cabin differential pressure to less than approximately 4 psi will allow the pressure vessel to de fl ate, the door latch to seat the switch, and the warning light to go out.

3-24 6AT FAA APPROVED: MAY 13/87 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FAILURE

In case of hydraulic system failure:

1. Prepare for emergency extension of the landing gear. 2. Prepare for landing with existing wing fl aps con fi guration. 3. Ensure that the nose wheel steering switch is turned off and remains off.

WARNING

IN THE EVENT OF A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, THE NOSE WHEEL STEERING SYSTEM MUST NOT BE ARMED. STEER WITH BRAKES, POWER, AND RUDDER.

MANUAL GEAR RELEASE SYSTEM

An emergency hand pump and a cable operated manual release system are provided to extend the landing gear in the event of a hydraulic system failure. A stand pipe system in the hydraulic reservoir provides a supply of fl uid for hand pump operation. The manual release system also permits free fall gear extension in the event that all hydraulic fl uid is lost.

PARTIAL FLAP LANDINGS

There are no emergency provisions to extend or retract the fl aps. Landing approach should be made at 1.3 V S1 for the existing airplane con fi guration. For fl aps up con fi guration, use 132 KIAS at 15,500 poundsgross weight. Reduce this speed by 4 KIAS for each 1,000 pounds less gross weight. An acceptable, alternate procedure to determine approach speed with fl aps up is to add 10 KIAS to the full fl aps approach speed provided in Figure 5G-5. Compute fl aps up landing distances by adding 75% to the Two Engine Landing Distance shown in Figure 5G-5.

• Strong resistance to pump handle motion gives suf fi cient pressure(500 to 800 psi) to insure gear security in addition to the mechanical downlocks.

• If manual extension is used because of a failure in the landing

gear electrical control system, the hydraulic pressure gauge will continue to indicate approximately 2,000 psi system pressure. In this case, the pressure to the gear down actuators can be detected only by the effort required to move the emergency hand pump.

• If a failure at the bottom of the hydraulic pack allows depletion

of all hydraulic fl uid, the emergency hand pump will not provide pressure. Nevertheless, Step 3 above will allow the landing gear to free fall to a safe, down and locked position.

• Hydraulic pressure to the nose wheel steering system will not

be available following landing gear emergency extension required by either hydraulic failures or gear position selector valve electrical failures. Do not arm nose wheel steering.

If the gear does not extend, the following additional procedure may allow the gear to extend.

NOTE

Extending the landing gear in this manner requires that the airplane be slowed to a minimum safe airspeed. Therefore, this procedure must be performed at high enough altitude to ensure safe fl ight operation.

1. Retract the gear.

NOTE

If the landing gear will not retract, check that the hand pump valve handle and the emergency release lever have been returned to their normal positions.

2. Use full fl aps and slow the aircraft to just above fl ight idle stall speed.

3. Place the landing gear handle in the down position.

4. If the gear fails to extend, repeat the above procedure. If the gear still will not extend, repeat the above procedure using the emergency gear release lever instead of the landing gear handle. (Steps 3, 4, and 5 in Landing Gear Emergency Extension.)

GEAR UP LANDINGS

NOTE

• If either main gear will not extend, land with all three gear up if

possible. If the nose gear will not extend, land on the mains.

• Ensure that passengers are thoroughly briefed regarding

bracing position and evacuation procedure.

• Depressurize airplane and consider removal and secure

stowage of escape hatches prior to landing. Expect the entrance door to operate normally with the exception that it will not open fully after landings with the nose or left main gear retracted.

• Historically, airplanes of this class have received more airframe

damage from gear up landings on sod than from landings on smooth, paved surfaces.

• Propeller blades contacting the surface while turning under power

tend to disintegrate and throw shrapnel which may puncture the fuselage. Blades contacting the surface when feathered, or nearly feathered, will bend slightly and wear away but most likely will not shatter and will aid in holding the wings and nacelles off the runway.

• The pilot may choose to feather one propeller early and save the

other engine for last minute glide path corrections. During approaches with one main gear up and one down, it is recommended that the propeller on the gear up side be feathered fi rst. When a propeller is feathered with fl ight idle power set, drag will be reduced and gliding distance increased slightly.

2. Approach the runway at normal approach speed plus 5 to 10 KIAS.

3. Do not feather propellers until landing on the runway is assured.

4. Shut off electrical power just prior to touchdown (this is to allow use of the pitch trim system until touchdown). Leave batteries on during night landings to permit use of landing lights.

5. Allow aircraft to touch down in a relatively fl at attitude and on centerline. Use rudder for directional control.

LANDING WITH NOSE GEAR UP:

1. Use normal approach technique and fl ap con fi guration.

2. Feather propellers and shut off electrical power after the mains have touched the runway. Leave batteries on during night landings to permit use of landing lights.

3. Hold the nose of the aircraft off the runway as long as practical, but not so long that pitch control is lost. Put nose on runway gently rather than letting it drop to the runway.

LANDING WITH NOSE GEAR AND ONE MAIN GEAR EXTENDED:

1. Attempt to retract all three gear. Check the position of the emergency gear release lever, the hand pump valve handle and the landing gear control circuit breaker. Transfer the landing gear control to the other essential bus using the transfer switch.

2. If possible, select the runway with the fewest obstructions and fl attest terrain on the side of the unextended gear.

3. Feather propellers after landing on the runway is assured.

4. Shut off electrical power just prior to touchdown (this is to allow use of the pitch trim system until touchdown). Leave batteries on during night landings to permit use of landing and taxi lights.

5. Hold the wing with the unextended landing gear off the runway as long as possible. Use brakes and rudder for aircraft directional control. Expect the aircraft to turn into the low wing.
