C90 series of aircraft. Production of the C90
series began in 1971 and continues with the current
production model, the C90 GTx. The original C90 was 35’ 6”
followed by the C90-1 in 1982. The C90-1 had a short
production run (1982-1984) and was replaced by the
C90A in 1984. C90A production ran until 1992. The
C90B and its lower cost sibling, the C90 SE, replaced 35’ 6” 14’ 2.57”
the C90A with production running until 2005 (LJ-1755). 2˚
By this time over 1,200 C90s had been produced; line

FUEL NACELLE TANKS

All fuel supplied to the engine is fed from the nacelle


tank. Since the center section wing tank is lower than
the nacelle tank, fuel is transferred to the nacelle tank
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION by an electric fuel transfer pump submerged in the
center section wing tank.

T he C90 fuel system is divided into separate left and


right side elements connected by a crossfeed line.
Each wing contains four interconnected tanks and a
FUEL TRANSFER SYSTEM
nacelle tank. These five individual tanks together hold
192 gallons (727 liters) of usable fuel per side (384 During normal operations, the nacelle tank starts out
gallons total usable fuel). full. After approximately ten gallons of fuel is burned

MAIN TANKS from the nacelle tank, a level sensor (float switch) in
the nacelle tank signals the transfer pump in the center
section tank to activate and refill the nacelle tank. When
The fuel system consists of a nacelle tank and four the nacelle tank is nearly refilled, the transfer pump
interconnected tanks. The three outboard wing tanks shuts off. Fuel from the outboard wing tanks will now
gravity feed to the center section wing tank and nacelle gravity feed into the center section wing tank, replacing
tank. Each wing system has two fuel filler openings. the fuel that was transferred to the nacelle tank. When
One opening is on the nacelle tank and the other is the wing tanks are empty (outboard and center section)
on the leading edge tank. To assure the fuel system is a sensor in the fuel transfer line between the center
properly filled, fill the nacelle tank first, then fill the wing section tank and nacelle tank will sense a drop in
tanks.

LIMITATIONS

POWERPLANT LIMITATIONS

This section describes the limitations for the PT6A-20, which are found on earlier versions of the King Air 90,
and the PT6A-21, found on all King Airs from the C90 though the C90B. Note that each powerplant is described
in a separate table. The following limitations shall be observed. Each column is a separate limitation. The limits
presented do not necessarily occur simultaneously. Refer to the Pratt & Whitney Engine Maintenance Manual for
specific actions required if limits are exceeded. Consult your AFM/POH for your specific aircraft limitations.

FOOTNOTES:
1. At approximately 50% (N1) minimum.
2. Normal oil pressure is 65-85 psig. At throttle settings above 28,000 rpm (75%) N1 oil pressures between 40 and 65 psig are
undesirable, and should only be tolerated for the completion of the flight, preferable at reduced throttle settings. Oil pressures below
normal should be reported as an engine discrepancy, and should be corrected before the next take-off. Oil pressures below 40 psig
are unsafe, and require that the engine either be shut down or a landing be made as soon as possible, using the minimum required
power to sustain flight.
3. This value is time limited for two seconds.
4. High TIT at ground idle may be corrected by reducing accessory load and/or increasing N1 speed.
5. High generator loads at low N1 speeds may cause the TIT acceleration temperature limit to be exceeded. This does not apply during
engine start. Observe the following generator load limits:

FOOTNOTES:
1. At approximately 70% (N1)
2. At 51% (N1) Minimum
3. Normal oil pressure is 80-100 psig at throttle settings above 72 % N1 (27,000 RPM) with oil temperature between 60°C and 70°C. Oil
pressures below 80 psig are undesirable, and should be tolerated only for the completion of the flight, preferably under reduced power
setting. Oil pressures below normal should be reported as an engine discrepancy, and should be corrected prior to the next takeoff. Oil
pressure below 40 psig are unsafe, and require that either the engine be shut down, or a landing be made as soon as possible, using
minimum power to sustain flight.
4. This value is time-limited for two seconds
5. For every 10°C below -30°C ambient temperature, reduce allowable N1 by 2.2%.
6. Maximum continuous power is intended for Emergency use at the discretion of the pilot.
7. High ITT at ground idle may be corrected by reducing the accessory load and/or increasing N1 speed.
8. This operation is time-limited to one minute. Do not select reverse while airborne.
9. Cruise torque limits vary with altitude and temperature.
10. High generator loads at low N1 speeds may cause the ITT acceleration temperature limit to be exceeded.
11. Maximum sustained torque is 1315 ft-lbs. Propeller RPM (N2) must be set so as not to exceed SHP limitations.

The landing gear system on the C90A and C90B models


is electrically controlled and hydraulically actuated.
This type of gear system is also seen on the later model
King Air 200’s. This type system uses folding braces,
called “drag legs” to lock in place when the gear is fully
extended. When retracted, the landing gear is held in
the up position by hydraulic pressure. Each landing
gear has a hydraulic actuator for operation.

The landing gear system is operated by a hydraulic


power pack and hydraulic actuators. The hydraulic
power pack is located under the cabin floor-board, just
forward of the main spar.

and the aural annunciator audio amplifier. The cockpit NOTE


area microphone is located strategically to pick up
and record cockpit voice signals. If a voice recorder is The Master Minimum Equipment List indicates the
installed in your aircraft, refer to the manual provided following static wick requirements:
by the manufacturer for proper operation and preflight
testing. One wick may be missing or broken from:

1. Each wing (includes aileron)

2. Each side of horizontal stabilizer, and

3. Vertical stabilizer (includes tail cone and ventral


fins)

A maximum of three (3) static wicks may be broken or


missing.
The cockpit voice recorder unit is located in the aft
cargo area. The unit is housed in an international
orange equipment case and consists of a magnetic
tape recorder and an electronic chassis.

EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER

The ELT system consists of the ELT transmitter located


in the right aft fuselage, an antenna mounted on the
right aft fuselage, and a remote switch with a yellow
transmit light mounted in the cockpit.

The remote switch has an ARM and ON position.


If the switch is selected to the ON position, the ELT
will transmit continuously. The ON position is used
to test the ELT and to turn on the ELT signal if it did
not automatically activate after an impact. The ARM
position is the normal position and will activate the ELT
signal if the G switch has been activated.

If the ELT has been inadvertently activated by the G


switch, the transmit light will blink on and off. The ELT
can be deactivated by momentarily placing the switch
to ON and then back to ARM.

STATIC WICKS

A static electrical charge may build up on the surface


of the airplane while it is in flight. This electrical charge,
if retained, can cause interference with radio and
avionics equipment operation. It is also dangerous to
personnel disembarking and servicing the airplane.
Consequently, static wicks are installed in the trailing
edges of the flight control surfaces, the wing tips, and
tips of the horizontal and vertical stabilizers to aid in the
dissipation of the electrical charge.

Moment – The moment is the weight of an item


multiplied by its arm. The moment is divided by a
constant to simplify balance calculations by reducing
the number of digits. For this aircraft, inches and
moment/100 have been used.

Basic Moment – The basic moment is the sum of


moments for all of the items making up the aircraft basic
weight. This is the total moment of the basic aircraft

WEIGHING INSTRUCTIONS
Periodic weighing of the airplane may be necessary to keep the Basic empty weight current. All changes to the
airplane affecting weight and/or balance are the responsibility of the airplane operator.
1. Airplane may be weighed on wheels or jack points. Three jack points are provided: one on the nose section of
the fuselage at station 83.5 and one on each wing center section rear spar at station 195.5. Wheel reaction
locations should be measured as described in Paragraph 6, below.
2. Fuel should be drained preparatory to weighing. Tanks are drained from the regular drain ports with the
airplane in static ground attitude. When tanks are drained, 8.0 pounds of undrainable fuel remain in the
airplane at an arm of 160 inches. The remainder of the unusable fuel to be added to a drained system is 16.1
pounds at fuselage station 130.
3. Engine oil must be at the full level in each tank. Total engine oil aboard when tanks are full is 56.0 pounds at an
arm of 101 inches.
4. To determine airplane configuration at time of weighing, installed equipment is checked against the airplane
equipment list or superseding forms. All equipment must be in its proper place during weighing.
5. The airplane is placed on scales in a level attitude. Leveling screws are located on the fuselage entrance door
frame. Leveling is accomplished with a plumb bob. Jack pad leveling may require the nose gear shock to be
secured in the static position to prevent its extension. Wheel weighings can be leveled by varying the amounts
of air in shocks and/or tires.
6. Measurement of the reaction arms for a wheel weighing is made using the nose jacking point for a reference.
Using a steel measuring tape, measurements are taken with the airplane level on the scales, from the reference
(a plumb bob hung from the center of the nose jacking point) to the axle center line of the nose gear and then
from the nose gear axle center line to the main wheel axle center line. The main wheel axle center line is best
located by stretching a string across from one main wheel to the other. All measurements are to be taken in a
plane level with the floor and parallel to the fuselage center line. The locations of the wheel reactions will be
approximately at an arm of 178 inches for main wheels and 30 inches for the nose wheel.
7. The Basic Empty Weight and Moment are determined from the scale readings. Items weighed which are not
part of the empty airplane are subtracted. Unusable fuel and engine oil are added if not already in the airplane.
8. Weighing should always be made in an enclosed area which is free from air currents. The scales used should be

FOOTNOTES:
1. At approximately 50% (N1) minimum.
2. Normal oil pressure is 65-85 psig. At throttle settings above 28,000 rpm (75%) N1 oil pressures between 40 and 65 psig are
undesirable, and should only be tolerated for the completion of the flight, preferable at reduced throttle settings. Oil pressures below
normal should be reported as an engine discrepancy, and should be corrected before the next take-off. Oil pressures below 40 psig
are unsafe, and require that the engine either be shut down or a landing be made as soon as possible, using the minimum required
power to sustain flight.
3. This value is time limited for two seconds.
4. High TIT at ground idle may be corrected by reducing accessory load and/or increasing N1 speed.
5. High generator loads at low N1 speeds may cause the TIT acceleration temperature limit to be exceeded. This does not apply during
engine start. Observe the following generator load limits:

LIMITATIONS WHEN ENCOUNTERING SEVERE ICING CONDITIONS


(Required by FAA AD-98-04-24)
WARNING
SEVERE ICING MAY RESULT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF THOSE WHICH
THE AIRPLANE IS CERTIFIED. FLIGHT IN FREEZING RAIN, FREEZING DRIZZLE, OR MIXED ICING
CONDITIONS (SUPERCOOLED LIQUID WATER AND ICE CRYSTALS) MAY RESULT IN ICE BUILD-UP
ON PROTECTED SURFACES EXCEEDING THE CAPABILITY OF THE ICE PROTECTION SYSTEM, OR
MAY RESULT IN ICE FORMING AFT OF THE PROTECTED SURFACES. THIS ICE MAY NOT BE SHED
USING THE ICE PROTECTION SYSTEMS, AND MAY SERIOUSLY DEGRADE THE PERFORMANCE AND
CONTROLLABILITY OF THE AIRPLANE.
1. During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed those for which the
airplane is certified shall be determined by the following visual cues. If
one or more of these visual cues exists, immediately request priority
handling from Air Traffic Control to facilitate a route or an altitude
change to exit the icing conditions.
a. Unusually extensive ice accumulation on the airframe and
windshield in areas not normally observed to collect ice.
b. Accumulation of ice on the upper surface of the wing, aft of the
protected area.
c. Accumulation of ice on the engine nacelles and propeller spinners
farther aft than normally observed.
2. Since the autopilot, when installed and operating, may mask tactile
cues that indicate adverse changes in handling characteristics, use
of the autopilot is prohibited when any of the visual cues specified
above exist, or when unusual lateral trim requirements or autopilot
trim warnings are encountered while the airplane is in icing conditions.
3. All wing icing inspection lights must be operative prior to flight into
known or forecast icing conditions at night. [NOTE: This supersedes
any relief provided by the Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL).]

FOOTNOTES:
1. Torque limit applies within range of 1600 - 2000 propeller rpm (N2). Below 1,600 propeller RPM, torque is limited to 1,100 ft-lbs.
2. Deleted
3. When gas generator speeds are above 27,000 rpm (72% N1) and oil temperatures are between +60°C and +71°C, normal oil
pressures are:
105 to 135 psi below 21,000 feet; 85 to 135 psi at 21,000 feet and above.
During extremely cold starts, oil pressure may reach 200 psi. Oil pressure between 60 and 85 psi is undesirable, it should be
tolerated only for the completion of the flight, and then only at a reduced power setting not exceeding 1,100 ft-lbs torque. Oil pressure
below 60 psi is unsafe, it requires that either the engine be shut down, or that a landing be made as soon as possible, using the
minimum power required to sustain flight. Fluctuations of plus or minus 10 psi are acceptable.
4. These values are time limited to 5 seconds.
5. High ITT at ground idle may be corrected by reducing accessory load and/or increasing N1 rpm.
6. At approximately 70% N1.
7. These values are time limited to 5 minutes.
8 Cruise torque values vary with altitude and temperature.
9. This operation is time limited to 1 minute.

LIMITATIONS ON THE USE OF AVIATION GASOLINE


1. Operation is limited to 150 hours between engine overhauls.
2. Operation is limited to 20,000 feet pressure altitude (FL 200) or below if either standby pump is inoperative.
3. Crossfeed capability is required for climbs above 20,000 feet pressure altitude (FL 200).
4. Operation above 31,000 feet (FL310) is prohibited.
FUEL BIOCIDE ADDITIVE
Fuel biocide-fungicide BIOBOR JF in concentrations of 135 ppm or 270 ppm may be used in the fuel. BIOBOR JF
may be used as the only fuel additive, or it may be used with the anti-icing additive conforming to MIL-I-27686 or
MIL-I-85470 specification. Used together, the additives have no detrimental effect on the fuel system components.
Refer to the Beech Super King Air 200 Series Maintenance Manual and to the latest revision of Pratt and Whitney
Canada Engine Service Bulletin No. 3044 for concentrations to use and for procedures, recommendations and
limitations pertaining to the use of biocidal/fungicidal additives in turbine fuels.
ANTI-ICING ADDITIVES
PRIST (Anti-icing additive conforming to Specification MIL-I-27686)
Engine oil is used to heat the fuel on entering the fuel control. Since no temperature measurement is available for
the fuel at this point, it must be assumed to be the same as the OAT. The graph below is used to determine the
minimum oil temperature required to maintain the fuel temperature above the freezing point of water, and thus
prevent ice accumulations in the fuel control unit. Enter the graph at the known or forecast OAT and determine the
minimum oil temperature required for each phase of flight. If the anticipated actual oil temperature is not equal to,
or above this minimum temperature, anti-icing additive conforming to MIL-I-27686 or MIL-I-85470 must be added
to the fuel. Refer to Section IV, NORMAL PROCEDURES for blending procedures.

PROPELLER ROTATIONAL OVERSPEED LIMITS


The maximum propeller overspeed limit is 2,200 rpm and is time-limited to five seconds. Sustained propeller
overspeeds faster than 2,000 rpm indicate failure of the primary governor. Flight may be continued at propeller
overspeeds up to 2,080 rpm (200) or 2,120 rpm (B200), provided torque is limited to 1,800 foot-pounds. Sustained
propeller overspeeds faster than 2,080 (200) or 2,120 (B200) rpm indicate failure of both the primary governor
and the secondary governor, and such overspeeds are not approved.

PROPELLER AUTOFEATHER
For airplanes equipped with Hartzell propellers, the propeller autofeather system must be operable for all flights
and must be armed for takeoff, climb, approach and landing.

LIMITATIONS WHEN ENCOUNTERING SEVERE ICING CONDITIONS (REQUIRED BY FAA


AD 96-09-13 AND FAA AD 98-20-38)
WARNING
SEVERE ICING MAY RESULT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF THOSE WHICH
THE AIRPLANE IS CERTIFIED. FLIGHT IN FREEZING RAIN, FREEZING DRIZZLE, OR MIXED
ICING CONDITIONS (SUPERCOOLED LIQUID WATER AND ICE CRYSTALS) MAY RESULT IN ICE
BUILD-UP ON PROTECTED SURFACES EXCEEDING THE CAPABILITY OF THE ICE PROTECTION
SYSTEM, OR MAY RESULT IN ICE FORMING AFT OF THE PROTECTED SURFACES. THIS ICE MAY
NOT BE SHED USING THE ICE PROTECTION SYSTEMS, AND MAY SERIOUSLY DEGRADE THE
PERFORMANCE AND CONTROLLABILITY OF THE AIRPLANE.
1. During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed those for which the airplane is certified
shall be determined by the following visual cues. If one or more of these visual cues
exists, immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic Control to facilitate a route
or an altitude change to exit the icing conditions.

normally observed to collect ice.
b. Accumulation of ice on the upper surface of the wing, aft of the protected area.
c. Accumulation of ice on the engine nacelles and propeller spinners farther aft than
normally observed.
2. Since the autopilot, when installed and operating, may mask tactile cues that indicate
adverse changes in handling characteristics, use of the autopilot is prohibited when any
of the visual cues specified above exist, or when unusual lateral trim requirements or
autopilot trim warnings are encountered while the airplane is in icing conditions.
3. All wing icing inspection lights must be operative prior to flight into known or forecast icing
conditions at night. [NOTE: This supersedes any relief provided by the Master Minimum
Equipment List (MMEL).]
CRACKED OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD
The following limitations apply when continued flight is required with a cracked outer or
inner ply of the windshield.
1. Continued flight with a cracked windshield is limited to 25 flight hours.
2. Windshields which have a shattered inner ply will have numerous cracks which will obstruct forward vision
and may produce small particles or flakes of glass that can break free of the windshield and interfere with
the crew’s vision. These windshields must be replaced prior to the next flight unless a special flight permit
is obtained from the local FAA Flight Standards District Office.
3. Crack(s) must not impair visibility.
4. Crack(s) must not interfere with the use of windshield wipers for flights requiring the use of wipers.
5. Windshield Anti-ice must be operational for flights in icing conditions.
6. The following placard must be installed in plain view of the pilot:

MAXIMUM AIRPLANE ALTITUDE IS LIMITED TO 25,000 FEET, CABIN ∆P MUST BE


MAINTAINED BETWEEN 2.0 AND 4.6 PSI DURING FLIGHT
Windshields that have cracks in both the inner and outer plies must be replaced prior to the next flight unless a
special flight permit is obtained from the local FAA Flight Standards District Office.
CRACK IN ANY SIDE WINDOW (COCKPIT OR CABIN)
The following limitations apply when continued flight is required with a cracked outer or
inner ply in any side window. These limitations do not apply to minor compression-type
chips (Clamshell) which may occur in the milled edge of cockpit side windows. Refer to the
maintenance manual for disposition of such chips.
1. Continued flight is limited to 25 flight hours.
2. Flights must be conducted with the cabin depressurized. The following placard must be
placed in clear view of the pilot:

EMERGENCY LOCATOR
TRANSMITTER

The ELT system consists of the ELT transmitter located


in the right aft fuselage, an antenna mounted on the
right aft fuselage, and a remote switch with a yellow
transmit light mounted in the cockpit.

The remote switch has an ARM and ON position.


If the switch is selected to the ON position, the ELT
will transmit continuously. The ON position is used to
test the ELT and also to turn on the ELT signal if it did
not automatically activate after an impact. The ARM
position is the normal position and will activate the ELT
signal if the G switch has been activated.

If the ELT has been inadvertently activated by the G


switch, the transmit light will blink on and off. The ELT
can be deactivated by the crew by momentarily placing
the switch to ON and then back to ARM.

STATIC WICKS

A static electrical charge may build up on the surface of


the airplane while it is in flight. This electrical charge, if
retained, can cause interference in radio and avionics
equipment operation. It is also dangerous to personnel
disembarking after landing and to personnel servicing

5. 1/2 Bank (1/2φ)


In 1/2 Bank mode, the bank limit in HDG or NAV mode is reduced to approximately 1/2 the normal value.
Capture of APPR mode clears the 1/2 Bank mode, if selected.
6. Turn Control
The turn control can be used to manually command an autopilot turn. The bank angle during the turn is
proportional to the turn control displacement up to the bank limit of 30°. The autopilot may be engaged with
the turn control out of its center detent, but the control must be returned to center before it is active again.
Use of the turn control cancels any lateral mode selected, except APPR.
7. Vertical Control Switch
The vertical control switch can be used to incrementally adjust reference values for certain vertical modes
selected on the Flight Control Panel (FCP). During Pitch Hold mode, the vertical control switch can
continuously adjust the pitch reference. If the Vertical control switch is pushed and held, the Vertical mode
will clear, the autopilot will enter Pitch Hold mode, and the pitch reference will increase or decrease 1 degree/
second. Each momentary actuation (up or down) commands the following adjustments:

more than 30° must be accomplished using the HDG mode to set up a new NAV capture.

For optimum NAV mode operation, select intercept angle so the system maintains straight and
level flight in the NAV ARM mode for a minimum of 30 seconds. Maximum recommended capture
angles are 90° or less in NAV and 60° or less in APPR mode.
9. Approach Mode (APPR)
When making any coupled approach, primary flight instruments must be monitored by the pilot. Presence of
VOR/LOC/GS flag must be considered as a warning of system of signal failure.

SECTION VII – SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

ELECTRONIC FLIGHT INSTRUMENT SYSTEM (EFIS)

The Collins EFIS-84 EFIS (2-Tube) consists of two panel-mounted Electronic Flight Displays (EFDs), one
pedestal-mounted Display Select Panel (DSP), one remote Display Processor Unit, one pedestal-mounted EFIS
reversionary and power select panel. The system displays attitude and navigation information depending on the
input data sources selected.

ANNUNCIATORS

Annunciation is displayed on the mode select panel and on the EFIS. Annunciation is color-keyed for better
recognition of mode status with green or white for active condition, yellow for disengaged condition, and red
for warning condition. When a mode annunciator is flashing, it indicates that signals used for that mode are not
usable; EFIS modes flash briefly when selected.

EFIS SWITCHES

EFIS POWER

With airplane power on, the EFIS POWER switch applies power to the EADI/EHSI and Display Processor.

EFIS REVERSIONARY MODE

CMPST will select composite mode of operation on the EADI AND EHSI. A composite format replaces the normal
EADI and EHSI display.

AUTOPILOT

The APS-65 Autopilot is certified as a 3-Axis autopilot incorporating controls for pitch, roll, and yaw modes. An
Electric Pitch Trim System provides pitch autotrim during autopilot operation and Manual electric trim for the pilot
and copilot when the autopilot is not engaged.

A lockout device prevents autopilot engagement unless the system successfully passes the engagement self test.
Refer to the APS-65 pilot’s guide for a description of the autopilot system.

ANNUNCIATORS

Two remote annunciators are installed in the glare shield: AP FAIL (Red) and AP TRIM FAIL (Red). All other
autopilot annunciators are displayed on the EFIS.

SWITCHES

A Go-Around Switch is located in the left power lever.

Two trim Switches are located in the outboard grip of the pilot’s and copilot’s control wheels.

An AP/Trim Disconnect Switch is located in the outboard grip of the pilot’s and copilot’s control wheels. This is a
bi-level switch. Depressing the switch to the first level disconnects the autopilot and electric trim.

The ELEV TRIM switch is located in the pedestal and controls power to the Autopilot/Manual Electric Trim System.

CONTROLS

The Autopilot Controller (APP-65) and the Flight Control Panel (FCP-65) are located in the pedestal. Operation of
these controls is described in the APS-65 pilot’s guide.

SECTION VIII – HANDLING, SERVICING, & MAINTENANCE

When a Collins EFIS-84 is installed, fans are installed to aid in cooling of the Display Processor Unit (DPU-84)
and the pilot CRT displays. At each phase inspection and at any sign of abnormal equipment operation, verify
these fans are operating properly. An avionics bay exhaust fan is also installed.

STALL RECOVERY PROCEDURE

Evidence exists that some pilots are failing to avoid conditions that may lead to a stall, or failing to recognize the
insidious onset of an approach-to-stall during routine operations in both manual and automatic flight. Evidence
also exists that some pilots may not have the required skills or training to respond appropriately to an unexpected
stall or stick pusher event. Stall training should always emphasize reduction of Angle of Attack (AOA) as the most
important response when confronted with any stall event.

The stall recovery procedures were developed from Advisory Circular 120-109 utilizing the Stall Recovery
Template.

The instructor or evaluator will be responsible for the entry set up of the aircraft. Your training at FlyRight will
emphasize the proper recovery and not the entry set up. When possible the instructor will utilize a training scenario
for all stall recovery training.

WINDSHEAR RECOVERY PROCEDURE


The best procedure for windshear recovery is recognition and avoidance of situations where windshear may
be encountered. With this as an industry standard philosophy, it is recognized that there can be unexpected
encounters with windshear that must be mitigated.

Recognition of windshear in a timely manner is crucial to aircraft safety. Indications of windshear presence
include:

• I AS variations of more than 15 knots


• Ground speed variations or wind shift
• Glideslope deviation of 1 dot or more
• Pitch excursions of 5 degrees or more
• Heading variations of 10 degrees or more
• Unusual power lever position

If windshear is encountered on takeoff and there is sufficient runway remaining to stop, the takeoff should be
rejected. If windshear is encountered at or above V1 or on approach:

• otate to the go around attitude


R
• Level the wings if terrain or obstacle clearance are not a factor
• Apply maximum power
• Closely monitor airspeed and altitude (allowing airspeed to decay to stall warning if necessary)
• Respect the stall warning
• Do not change configuration

When clear of the windshear, retract the gear and flaps, establish a normal climb and advise ATC.

CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN (CFIT) RECOVERY PROCEDURE


When a CFIT warning is activated the CFIT escape maneuver must be executed immediately:

• Rotate to the go around attitude


• Apply maximum power
• Wings level
• Monitor pitch allowing airspeed to decay to stall warning
• Respect the stall warning
• Do not change configuration
