25. Ops Page……………………………………………………………..CHECK
a. Weights…….ENTER
• Enter each pilot/passenger weight and any baggage.
b OAT…………ENTER
• Use ATIS temperature, if available. If the OAT is not immediately accepted,
re-enter the OAT after taxi and prior to takeoff. Takeoff performance data is
NOT assured unless the OAT is properly entered.
c. Vr Speed………ENTER
• Enter Vr speed computed from performance data.
26. Trims (3)……………………………………………………………….SET
• Ensure all trims are in the green area. Failure to do so will result in “TO CONFIG
OK” not
being presented on CAS display. For most conditions, 10% nose down is
recommended for pitch trim.
27. Landing Altitude……………………………………………………..CHECK, SET
• Set destination airfield elevation as printed in A/FD or approach plate.
28. AIR COND/FANS……………………………………………………..AS REQUIRED
• Set air conditioner AUTO or OFF. Set desired temperature or “MAX
COOL/HEAT” and fan speed (AUTO, HIGH, MED, or OFF).
29. DC Voltage………………………………………………CHECK, 23 VDC MINIMUM
30. Chocks…………………………………………………………………REMOVED
ENGINE START
1. Throttles .....................................................IDLE
2. START BATT Switch ......................................ON
• Ensure both engine selector switches are OFF
• R AFT BUS Voltage: CHECK 23 VDC MINIMUM FOR BATTERY START; 25 VDC
MINIMUM FOR GPU START
3. R ENGINE Selector…………………………………………………..ON/START
• The switch must be pushed in to move between OFF and ON/START.
• The start cycle is complete when the red ITT limit line resets for normal operation.
CAUTION
Whenever the engine fails to light, a dry motoring cycle is required to clear out
trapped fuel or vapors. The high speed rotor (N
2
) should be allowed to
decelerate to zero RPM before attempting another start. Repeat complete
starting sequence, observing starter limits. (Refer to 2-8)
