FlightSafety Aircraft Flight Manual 1

Approved Flight Manual


Objectives

• Use the SA 227 Approved Flight Manual, handouts, and class notes to describe the organization of the AFM

• Locate the desired information in the AFM


Description of the AFM

• Normal procedures Sections

• Abnormal Procedures Sections

• Emergency Procedures Sections

• Limitations Section

• Manufacture's Data Section

• General Performance Sections



• Front page• Model of 227 aircraft• Maximum weight allowed for takeoff

• Identify aircraft eligible to be operated at high gross weights with the letter “B”

• Serial No. of the aircraft• Registration No. of the aircraft• Date Approved by the FAA and signature



• Revisions to the Manuals are placed in the front and labeled A- with the number of the revision

• The last revision will be the first page

• Supplements will follow revisions



• Lower right hand corner of the second title page AFM6AC designates the 16,000 lb.. aircraft

• Table of Contents lists the sections covered in this manual• Sections 1 through 7


Section 1

• Operating limitations

• Instrument markings

• Color coding

• Basic placards necessary for safe operation of the aircraft


Warnings

• Operating procedures, practices, etc., which my result in personal injury or loss of life in not carefully followed

• Operating procedure, practices, etc., which if not strictly observed my result in damage to equipment

Caution


Section 2

• Normal Procedures• Introduction• Preflight• Starting, taxi,takeoff climb,cruise,decent,

before landing, after landing, stopping engines checks

• Systems Checks and operation• Annunciator Panel and System Warning Lights


Section 2

• Oxygen System

• Operations in Icing Conditions

• Preflight Checks

• Flight in Icing Conditions (visible moisture and OAT below +5c

• Departing Icing Conditions

• Configuration Deviation List (CDL)


Section 2

• Switches and controls have been arranged to enhance single pilot operation. Expanded procedures are prepared accordingly.

• The same procedures, in the same sequence, apply during operation by two pilots.

• Careful coordination by two pilots is required


Section 3• Emergency Procedures

• Order of the most serious fires• Immediate Action are in BOLD CAPITAL letters• Remaining steps (clean up) follow

NOTE Overcoming emergencies successfully depends

upon the pilot’s sound judgement thorough knowledge of the aircraft systems and equipment


Section 3

• In case of emergency:• 1. Maintain aircraft control• 2. Analyze the situation. Then take proper

action to correct it• 3. If the difficulty has occurred during flight,

land as soon as conditions permit


Section 3

• Annunciator Panel• Page 3-2 an 3-3 list the Light Illuminated and

what it indicates• Page 3-4 begins the list of emergency

procedures• You must commit the bold type to memory

prior to the first flight in the simulator


Section 3A

• Abnormal Procedures• page 3A-1 and 3A-2 list annunciator panel

lights• Procedures identified by an asterisk are those

recommended to be accomplished by a copilot• Page 3A-3 begins the abnormal procedures


Section 3A

• Manual Ground Start Procedures 3A-9 are also located in this section


Performance 4

• This section is separated into parts A through I


Part A Introduction

• Sub-divided into tabbed parts in order to assist the operator in solving his performance problems.

• B Standard reference data• C,D,and E Takeoff performance dated in

three parts by power setting• F enroute climb performance• H ice effects on performance


Part A Introduction

• 4A-2 specifies Operating weight limitations for Section 1

• 4A-3 Maximum landing weight may not exceed the lower of those listed

• Definitions are found on pages 4A-4 and 5

• Technique recommend for flying this aircraft are also found in this section


Part B Reference Data

• Noise Levels

• Fuel Venting and Exhaust

• Wind Component Chart (you will need this)

• Calibration Charts

• Stall speeds

• Rate of Climb Speeds(Vy and Vyse)

• Main Gear Tire limitations


Part C Takeoff (Dry, Bleed Air ON)

• Power Check Chart (see if your engine is good

• Maximum takeoff weight limitation

• Takeoff speed

• Accelerate Stop

• Single engine distance to 1000 feet (only)

• Two engine to 50 foot height• Two engine rate of climb at V50

(Define V50 and why I care about it)


Part D Takeoff (Dry, Bleed Air OFF)

• Notice in 4A there are 7 charts and in this sub-section there are 19 charts

• Second segment climb gradient

• Close in Obstacle clearance

• Third segment climb gradient

• Distant obstacle clearance


Part E Takeoff (Wet, Bleed Air must be OFF)

• Allows for more shaft horsepower available for hot day and or high altitude takeoffs

• Remember when using water the bleed switches must be turned off, even though there is an automatic shutoff in the water system


Part F Enroute Climb

• Single Engine Best Rate of Climb• This also gives Vyse again

• Single Engine Service Ceiling

• Two Engine Best Rate of Climb• Best climb speeds for different weights and

altitudes are presented here bleeds on and off


Part G Approach and Landing

• Maximum landing weight• Bleed air on and off , with both Dowty Rotol

and McCauley propellers

• Balked landing Rate of Climb (+speeds)

• Two Engine landing distance

• Landing Brake energy limits


Part H ICE • Effects of ice

• Procedures when encumbered by ice

• Weight to achieve

• Single Engine Climb

• Balked landing climb

• Two engine landing distance with and increase in speeds

• Landing Brake energy limits


Part I Reduced Power Takeoff

• Limitations

• minimum crew

• Power charts and V Speeds

• Maximum takeoff weights

• Distance to accelerated and stop

• Two engine takeoff distance to 50 feet


Part 5 Weight and Balance

• Definitions

• Aircraft size

• Arrangements

• Cargo door function items

• Loading instructions

• Bending Moments

• Calculation examples and procedures


Part 6 Manufacture’s Data

• This section is not approved by the FAA and chart calculations are computer generated in most cases

• Procedures for Single engine drift down

• Systems descriptions for people who do not receive FlightSafty’s Pilot Training Manual


Section 7 Supplements

• Takeoff with SRL Off or inoperative

• Flight Data Recorder

• 200 AMP Electrical system

• 21 inch Dowty Rotol propeller boots

• Ferry with flaps inoperative

• Increased weights

• Ferry with landing gear extended


Completion Standards

• Be able to demonstrate adequate knowledge of the SA 227 aircraft systems by completing a 50 question written, closed book examination with a minimum passing grade of 80% corrected to 100% and the conclusion of the ground school course
