Duchess Multi-Engine Study Guide
INSTRUMENT APPROACHES
The approach speed for the BE76 Duchess is 100 KAIS, this allows for better synchronization
with other aircraft in the ATC system. Therefore, speed must be reduced between the DA/MDA
before touchdown while “crossing the fence” whether flaps are used or not. Note, with a 100
KIAS approach speed, the BE76 fits into category B approach minimums (91-120 KIAS).
PRECISION APPROACH
1. En-route: Approach should be fully briefed/ NAV aids set/checked/ Instruments checked
2. Slow to 120 KIAS (18” MP) within apx. 3 mins from initial approach fix/ or while given
vectors to approach
3. HSI Set and Checked
4. Before Landing Checklist
5. Within 2 mins from final approach
1. Throttle-- 17” MP
2. Flaps—10 (2 engines), Flaps remain up on single engine approach
3. Maintain 100 KIAS, Trim
4. GUMPS check
5. Re-Brief approach mins and missed approach
6. Gear should be extended when within 1 dot from glideslope
1. Verify gear down, 3 green, no red, check visually
7. At FAF
1. 6 T’s
2. Announce: “Gear Down, Before Landing Checklist Complete”
3. Descent 5-600 fpm using apx 15” MP
8. At 400’ AGL, Announce: “Gear Down, Stabilized”
9. Announce 100’ above minimums: “100 to go”
10. Decision Altitude, Announce: “Minimum”
11. Flaps—Full (2 engines), No Flaps on single engine approach/landing
12. Airspeed 85 (blueline) until landing is assured
