Section 3 Standard Operating Procedures
Procedure (Flow Pattern)
1. Altimeter................................................................................... SET
Verify the proper altimeter setting has been set into the PFD and in
the standby altimeter.
2. Cabin Heat/Defrost ................................................ AS REQUIRED
3. Landing Light .............................................................................ON
The landing light should be selected on for visibility to others at the
top of the descent or within 10NM from the destination. If in IMC,
consider leaving off to reduce light reflection in the cabin.
4. Fuel System ....................................................................... CHECK
Ensure fuel is balanced and selected to the fullest tank.
5. Mixture ................................................................... AS REQUIRED
SR20/SR22 - Consider altitude when setting mixture for descent.
Full mixture settings at high altitudes may lead to engine
roughness or flooding resulting in engine loss.
SR22 Turbo - it is not necessary to adjust the mixture during the
descent.
6. Brake Pressure .................................................................. CHECK
Apply pressure to each toe brake and ensure resistance is felt. Be
sensitive for soft or mushy feeling in brakes as this could indicate a
brake failure.
