605.28 Child Restraint System It has been demonstrated that the passenger seats, including the front row seats, are compatible for use with current automotive type approved child safety seats. 84.8.AC.10; Sect. 18 OPS
605.29 Flight Control Locks (a) The gust lock design places the gust lock lever well away from the reach of either pilot when disengaged and requires a conscious effort to engage it.
The gust lock cannot be engaged without interfering with the power levers when they are in any normal flight position. The gust lock is spring biased to the disengaged position such that a double failure is required to create the potential for gust lock engagement.
Inadvertant engagement in flight can be alleviated using the roll disconnect.
(b) Lateral controls are immobilised until the gust locks are disengaged; therefore pre-flight checks cannot be accomplished. Additionally, the power levers cannot be set to take-off power settings with the gust lock in the engaged position. 84.6.CF.1; Sect. 2.2 Y
605.30 De-Icing or Anti-Icing Equipment The DHC-8 Series 400 is certificated and equipped with the appropriate de-icing and anti-icing systems for operation in icing conditions in accordance with AWM 525.1419. Wing ice detection lights are mounted on the fuselage and on the nacelle on each side of the aircraft to detect the formation of ice on the wings. Testing has shown these will not cause glare or reflection that would handicap crewmembers in performing their duties. 84.6.DE.1 84.6.E.1; Sect. 4 Y
605.31 Oxygen Equipment and Supply (2) The cabin pressure altitude is maintained at a max. of 8000 feet during all phases of flight. The DHC-8 Series 400 is equipped with supplemental oxygen which provides the quantity of oxygen required, considering altitude limitations of the aircraft, likely flight durations and the need to conduct an emergency descent in accordance with the AFM following cabin depressurisation.
The DHC-8 Series 400 is capable of descending from 25,000 ft to 13,000 ft in 4 minutes. The flight crew are provided with a fixed oxygen system incorporating a mask mounted diluter-demand type regulator qualified to TSO C89. Two, TSO C78 approved, quick donning oronasal type oxygen masks for the pilots are located in stowages on the bulkhead behind the pilots seats, within easy reach. The flight crew masks are continuously coupled to the supply outlets to ensure oxygen is readily available. Means to indicate the oxygen quantity and satisfactory flow is provided for the flight crew to assist them in determining serviceability.
Sufficient oxygen is provided for the flight crew to descend from its max operating altitude of 25,000 ft. to 13,000 ft. in 4 minutes and to continue at altitudes above 10,000 ft. for a further 116 minutes. The minimum mass flow rates meet AWM 525.1443(b) requirements.
An additional mask for the observer is also located in the flight compartment. Flight with an observer will consequently increase the minimum dispatch pressure in order to maintain this supply of oxygen.
A portable passenger oxygen system will supply sufficient oxygen for at least 30 minutes at cabin pressure altitudes above 10,000 ft, for 10% of the max passenger load and both required flight attendants.
Three oxygen cylinders are each fitted with constant flow type regulators and three TSO C64a qualified masks. Two are located in stowage compartments at the aft end of the cabin and one in the forward draft bulkhead stowage. Each location is prominently marked and within easy reach of the cabin crew at their stations.
The minimum despatch pressures are specified in the AOM.
The oxygen equipment including the cylinders, distribution and dispensing equipment comply with the applicable requirements of AWM 525.1441 through 525.1453.
84.6.SB.1 Y
605.33 Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder Requirements The DHC-8 Series 400 is not certificated for flight above FL250.
The DHC-8 Series 400 is currently equipped with a digital FDR capable of recording the parameters required by paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(34) of FAR 121.344 (with the exception of parameters (a)(12) through (a)(14)) to the ranges, accuracies, recording intervals and resolutions required by FAR Part 121 Appendix M. Additional parameters are also recorded.
An approved CVR qualified to TSO C123 is installed in the aircraft and complies with the installation requirements of AWM 525.1457.
A bulk erasure feature, with a discrete signal to the parking brake, is incorporated in the CVR which is designed to minimise the probability of inadvertant operation of this feature or accidental actuation during a crash impact. 84.6.R.7 Y
605.35 Transponder and Automatic Pressure Altitude Reporting Equipment A dual Mode-S transponder and antenna system (SSR), approved to TSO C112, is installed in the DHC-8 Series 400 aircraft. 84.6.R.22 Y
605.36 Altitude Alerting System The DHC-8 Series 400 is fitted with an altitude alerting system which provides both aural and visual alerts upon approaching a pre-selected altitude. The system alerts the pilot 1,000 feet prior to arrival, in either ascent or descent, at a pre-selected altitude by both a visual alert on each PFD and an aural tone. 84.6.R.10 Y
605.37 Ground Proximity Warning System The DHC-8 Series 400 is equipped with a GPWS, approved to TSO C92b. Operating procedures for the GPWS system will be provided in an approved AFM Supplement. The GPWS provides a protection envelope covering Modes 1 through 6. 84.6.R.19 Y
605.38 Emergency Locator Transmitter An ELT meeting TSO C91a specification is installed as standard on the DHC-8 Series 400 within the dorsal fin to fuselage fairing and in such a manner that probability of damage to the transmitter in the event of a crash impact is minimised. 84.6.R.8 Y
605.41 Standby Attitude Indicator A standby gyroscopically stabilised display of attitude is installed to the left of the Engine Display (ED) and is capable of being used by either pilot.
It is powered continuously by both the left and right Essential DC buses (i.e. independent of the electrical generating system) thus there is no specific indication of operation by emergency power. The ADI does not have a dedicated power supply.
It continues reliable operation for a minimum of 30 minutes after total failure of the electrical generating system.
It operates independently of any other attitude indicating system.
It is operative, without selection, after total failure of the electrical generating system. It is appropriately lighted during all phases of operation. The standby ADI backlighting is from the left Main DC bus. Should the bus fail, the storm and/or the flight deck dome light will provide the required illumination. 84.6.R.14 Y
705.67 General Requirements
Static Pressure Systems (a) Two independent static pressure systems are installed, each externally vented.
An independent standby combined pitot-static probe is also installed.
