Normal Procedures
Passenger Briefing
According to Far Part 91.519 and 135.117 requirements, the
pilot-in-command or a crewmember briefs the passengers on
smoking, use of safety belts, location and operation of the pas-
senger entry door and emergency exits, location and use of
survival equipment, and normal and emergency use of oxygen
equipment. For flights over water, the briefing should include
ditching procedures and use of flotation equipment.
FAR 91.519 states that an exception to the oral briefing rule is if
the pilot-in-command determines that passengers are familiar
with the briefing content.
FAR 91.519 states that a printed card with the above informa-
tion should be available to each passenger to supplement the
oral briefing.
FAR 135.117 states that a printed card with the above informa-
tion must be available to each passenger to supplement the
oral briefing.
The Before Starting Engines procedures may be accomplished
somewhat prior to the planned departure time.

CAUTION: If operation of the vent blower fan is desired

prior to starting engines, do not attempt to open cabin door
or emergency exit until vent blower has been turned off for
at least 45 seconds.

Checklist Usage
Tasks are executed in one of two ways:
Q as a sequence that uses the layout of the cockpit controls
and indicators as cues (i.e., “flow pattern”)
Q as a sequence of tasks organized by event rather than panel
location (e.g., After Takeoff; Landing Gear – UP, Flaps –
UP).
Placing items in a flow pattern or series provides organization
and serves as a memory aid.
A challenge-response review of the checklist follows execution
of the tasks; the pilot not flying (PNF) calls the item, and the
appropriate pilot responds by verifying its condition (e.g., “Cowl
Anti-Ice” [challenge] – “ON” [response]).
Two elements are inherent in the execution of normal
procedures:
Q use of either the cockpit layout or event cues to prompt the
correct switch and/or control positions
Q use of normal checklists as “done” lists.

WARNING: Beards and mustaches should be carefully

trimmed so that they will not interfere with the proper seal-
ing of an oxygen mask. The fit of the oxygen mask around
the beard or mustache should be checked on the ground
for proper sealing. Studies conducted by the military and
FAA conclude that oxygen masks do not seal over beards
and mustaches.

NOTE: When checking the stall warning systems, the mas-

ter test switch must remain in the L or R STALL position until
the column shaker and stall annunciator lights/horn actuate
twice to check the altitude compensator. The first shaker
actuation will occur at approximately 0.5 units on the AOA
indicator and the second at approximately 0.7 units. The
stall annunciator lights/horn will actuate when the AOA indi-
cator approaches 1.0 unit.

It is permissible to recheck the STBY PWR during the TAXI

procedures if the no-go light illuminates during the initial
standby power check. It will be necessary to reset a genera-
tor if the master test switch is rotated out of the OFF position
subsequent to engine starting.

requirements are 28V DC, 1,000-1,500 amperes output.

WARNING: Verify cabin door security by attempting to

turn the handle to the unlocked position without depressing
the release button. Return handle to the locked position to
prevent warning light illumination. Confirm the eight (8)
lock pins on the forward and aft sides of the door are prop-
erly engaged, as indicated by the white flags fully covering

selector should be in the BOTH HIGH position.

Except during taxi conditions in visible moisture at 41°F

(5°C) or colder, the engine EFC system may be selected
OFF during ground operation provided the engine speed is
manually maintained at a minimum of 46% N2. With the EFC
system selected OFF, a potential exists for the generators to
drop off line with the thrust levers at idle.

Prior to commencing the approach, verify that the flight plan
is properly loaded. The NAV tuning mode will change to
MAN mode prior to using an RNAV waypoint. The Navigator
mode will change to MAN LEG advance if using AUTO LEG
or SEL CRS.
Prior to the first RNAV waypoint:
Verify that either NAV is tuned to RNAV reference facility.
Manually advance the waypoint when over the existing
TO waypoint (DME = 0.0).
Due to the earth’s magnetic field drift, the course dis-
played on the PFD may differ from the published course
slightly. Manually changing the course to match the pub-
lished course is not approved.
The airplane course will be direct to the initial approach fix
from the previous waypoint. It may be necessary to intercept
the final approach course outside the initial approach fix or
to hold outside the initial approach fix. To accomplish this:
Enter the SYSTEM CONTROL page and select SEL CRS.
Rotate the CRS knob to the desired course.
Re-select MAN LEG advance on the SYS CTRL page.

WARNING: During flight in icing conditions, wait at least

15 seconds after selecting 10 degrees flaps before select-
ing 30 degrees flaps. This delay provides the stabilizer
deice system the time required to remove any ice accumu-
lation from the stabilizer leading edge.

If icing conditions are encountered for more than 20 min-

utes after initial selection of 10 degrees flaps, land using
10 degrees flaps.

If a missed approach is executed and the flight diverted to

an alternate airport, the landing must be made using 10
degrees flaps unless a Ram Air temperature of 41°F (5°C)
or greater is observed during APPROACH and BEFORE
LANDING.

Do not operate anti-ice/deice systems at Ram Air tempera-

tures greater than 10°C unless in actual icing conditions,
as indicated by illumination of the ICING annunciator (if
installed) or airframe ice accumulation.

Towing/Taxiing
On hard surfaces, the aircraft can be towed or pushed back-
wards using a tow bar (P/N 45A91715-1) attached to the nose-
wheel. Turning angle of the nosewheel with tow bar is 90
degrees either side of center. When the aircraft is on a soft sur-
face (such as sand, soft ground, or mud), towing adapter belts
(P/N 45A99601-1) and tow cables must be attached to each
main gear for towing.
For taxi operations, accomplish directional control with the
nosewheel steering system. To prevent landing gear or engine
damage, taxi the airplane on a smooth, hard surface that is free
of loose gravel or debris. The maximum turning radius for the
nosewheel steering system is 45 degrees either side of center.

Cold Weather Operations

Deicing Supplemental Information
This section provides supplementary information on aircraft
deicing, anti-icing/deicing fluids, deicing procedures, and air-
craft operating procedures. Consult the Aircraft Flight Manual,
aircraft maintenance manual, and FAA Advisory Circulars for
deicing procedures, holdover times, recommendations, and
hazards.
Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) prohibit takeoff with snow,
ice, or frost adhering to the wings, windshields, power plant, or
flight controls. It is the responsibility of the pilot-in-command to
ensure the aircraft is free of snow, ice, or frost before takeoff.
Failure to adequately deice the aircraft can result in serious air-
craft performance degradation, loss of lift, and erratic engine
and flight instruments.
Following extended high-altitude flight, frost can form at ambi-
ent temperatures above freezing on the wing’s underside in the
fuel tank areas. Refueling the aircraft with warmer fuel usually
melts the frost.

Cold Soak Conditions

An aircraft is exposed to cold soak conditions when the aver-
age ambient temperature is below -4°F (-20°C) longer than four
hours and it may be assumed that all aircraft components have
stabilized at the ambient temperature.
If the local ambient temperature is predominantly below -4°F
(-20°C), move the aircraft to a heated hangar if possible.
Ground icing may also occur at temperatures of 50°F (10°C) or
colder with high humidity.
If icing or cold soak conditions may be encountered and a
heated hangar is not available, prepare the aircraft for cold
soak conditions.

Q Drain the water system and toilet unit.
Q Remove the aircraft batteries and store them in a warm
environment. This ensures the temperature of each battery
is above 14°F (-10°C) before takeoff, thus ensuring emer-
gency flight time capability.
Q Remove any packed snow from the landing gear bays,
wheel wells, landing gear, and all control surfaces.
Q Fit covers or blanks to the following:
– engine intakes
– jetpipe exhausts
– nose and main gear wheels
– pitot heads and static vents
– windshield
– ice detector head
– dorsal air intake
– stall warning vents
– angle-of-attack probe.

Ground Deice/Anti-Ice Operations

Deicing Fluids
The approved deicing and anti-icing fluids are:
Q SAE AMS 1424 Type I
Q ISO 11075 Type I
Q SAE AMS 1428 Type II
Q ISO AMS 11078 Type II
Q SAE AMS 1428 Type IV

2B-58 Developed for Training Purposes Beechjet 400A

September 2001
 Expanded Normal Procedures

Only the following Type IV anti-icing fluids are approved:

Q Clariant Safewing MP IV 1957
Q Clariant Safewing MP IV 2001
Q UCAR ULTRA+ (approved for use down to -15º)
Q Octagon Max Flight Type IV
These deicing fluids are a specially inhibited, glycol-based
solution. While the fluid remains liquid, snow and ice will not
adhere to it. The following precautions should be taken when
using deicing and anti-icing fluids:
Q avoid contact with skin and eyes
Q replace clothing permeated with deicing/anti-icing fluid
Q stay on the windward side of the airplane during application
Q do not let solution come in contact with bearings; it may
dilute the lubricant
Q avoid applying solution to windows
Q exercise caution when walking on surfaces that are coated
with glycol
Q keep the solution from entering air ducts or cabin heat and
ventilation ducts, due to toxic fumes entering the cabin or
cockpit during taxi or takeoff.
When necessary, the aircraft can be deiced by:
Q placing the aircraft in a warm hangar until the ice melts
Q mechanically brushing the snow or ice off with brooms
brushes, or other means
Q a cold application of deicing fluid with normal spray
equipment
Q a heated application of glycol-based solution.

Removing Snow
Use a brush to remove dry snow from aircraft surfaces, or
employ cold air blast. In either case, exercise care to prevent
“trapping snow” in control surface gaps and hinges. If ambient
conditions are above freezing, dry snow may be removed by
applying a hot blast, then spraying the cleared surface with
deicing fluid.
Use rubber squeegees to remove wet snow. Again, exercise
care to prevent trapping snow in control surface gaps and
hinges. If ice formed under the snow, apply deicing fluid.
For frozen snow and ice films, first clear loose snow, then apply
deicing fluid. Brush the snow as fluid is applied to assist in
breaking up deposits and to keep the fluid on the deposit. After
all frozen deposits are removed, apply a light coating of fluid to
keep the surface clear. Brush off or mop up any water resulting
from melted ice as soon as possible.
After clearing snow, make sure the following are free of frost,
ice, or frozen deposits:
Q static vents pitot heads
Q angle-of-attack probe (if installed)
Q drain mast
Q all intakes
Q all control surfaces airbrakes
Q landing gear.
Removing Hoar Frost
To remove hoar frost, spray deicing fluid according to the fluid
manufacturer's instructions. If the frost-forming conditions are
severe, apply a light coat of concentrated fluid after defrosting
to maximize the holdover period.
Removing Sleet and Freezing Rain
To remove sleet or freezing rain, spray undiluted deicing fluid
according to the fluid manufacturers’ instructions. Use hot fluid
when possible.

Preflight Inspection
In ground icing conditions, conduct a pre-takeoff contamination
check within five minutes of takeoff, preferably just prior to taxi-
ing onto the active runway. Critical areas of the aircraft (e.g.,
empennage, wing, windshield, control surfaces) must be
checked to ensure they are free of ice, slush, and snow or that
the deicing/anti-icing treatment is still effective.
During preflight inspection, inspect areas where surface snow
or frost could change or affect normal system operations. The
following are supplemental preflight checks.
All Protective Covers/Blanks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . REMOVED
All Surfaces . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . FREE OF FROST/ICE/SNOW
The wing leading edges, all control surfaces, tab surfaces,
flap jacks and balance panel cavities must be free of ice or
snow. Check control balance cavities and drain holes for
drainage after snow removal; puddled water may refreeze in
flight.
Engine Inlets. . . . . . . . . . .CLEAR OF INTERNAL ICE/SNOW
Check that the inlet cowling is free of ice or snow and that
the engine is free to rotate.
Fuel Tank Vents . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .FREE OF ICE/SNOW
Check accessible fuel tank vents; remove all traces of ice or
snow.
Pitot Heads and Static Ports . . . . . . . . . . . . . CLEAR OF ICE
Water rundown from snow removal may refreeze immedi-
ately forward of static ports and cause an ice build-up. This
build-up results in disturbed airflow over the static ports,
which causes erroneous static readings, even though the
static ports themselves are clear.
As snow on the windshield melts, it may also form sheet ice
over a large area of the forward fuselage and obstruct the
static ports.

Engine Start
Preheating engines exposed to cold soaking in temperatures
below -19ºF (-29ºC) is recommended, with particular attention
to accessory gearbox and fuel system components.

WARNING: After several minutes of heat application, fuel

draining from a component affected by ice does not neces-
sarily indicate that all ice has melted. Particles of ice may
still remain in the unit, causing a serious potential flight
hazard. Continue to apply heat for a period of time and fre-
quently inspect drainage until it is evident that all water has
been removed.

When aircraft have been exposed to low overnight ambient

temperatures, carefully monitor both fuel and oil pressures dur-
ing starts. If, in either system, there is no indication or an indi-
cation that is below normal operating limits, shut the engine
down immediately. Inspect for ice and, if ice is present, apply
hot air before attempting another start.

Engine Oil Pressure. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .CHECK
During cold weather starts, oil pressure may temporarily
exceed maximum pressure limits until the oil temperature
rises. At low ambient temperatures, a temporarily high pres-
sure above maximum limits may be tolerated, but delay
takeoff until the pressure drops below the maximum limits.
Engine Anti-Ice. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . AS REQUIRED
If the OAT is 5°C (41ºF) or below with visible moisture, igni-
tion and engine anti-ice switches should be turned on for
taxi and takeoff. When not in icing conditions, the engine
anti-ice must not be used when the temperature is above
10°C (50ºF).
Flight Controls . . . . . . . CHECK FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT
Accomplish a freedom of movement check whenever the
aircraft has been exposed for an extended period of time to
snow, freezing rain, or other conditions that could restrict
flight control movement. Expect an increase in control forces
at low temperatures because of increased resistance in
cables and congealed oil in bearings; it may be desirable to
accomplish an additional control check prior to taxi.

Takeoff
In icing conditions, ensure wing anti-ice, engine ignition, and
engine anti-ice are on for takeoff.
If the aircraft starts to slide on ice or snow during the engine
power check, release the brakes and begin the takeoff roll.
Continue the engine check during the early part of the takeoff
roll. A forward pressure on the control column increases nose-
wheel steering effectiveness.

Climb/Cruise/Descent
When engine anti-ice is selected on, engine idle RPM is higher
(i.e., raised idle) to ensure adequate engine and intake ice pro-
tection. The thrust at a given RPM decreases; fuel flow and ITT
increase. The penalties on sector fuel are large.
The following is the recommended procedure.
Q Climb at 220 KIAS with normal climb power.
Q If it is necessary to cruise into an icing layer, use long
range cruise performance; it is more economical to cruise
below an icing layer than in it.
Q Thrust levers may be closed. Full airbrakes give a rate of
descent of about 3,000 fpm. Higher airspeeds (up to VMo/
MMo) may be used if required for a higher rate of descent.
Q Hold at recommended holding speed.

Landing
Select engine ignition ON prior to landing; switch engine igni-
tion OFF after landing.
If reverse thrust is not used, shutting down either engine after
selecting speedbrakes helps deceleration. In a crosswind, shut
down the downwind engine.
If available, use reverse thrust; however, select forward idle if
directional control becomes difficult.
Ground clearance with flaps lowered is relatively small; when
operating on a runway with deep puddles, slush, snow or ice,
observe the following:

If severe icing conditions are present, utilize engine anti-icing.

Removing Salt and Chemical Agents

After Landing
If salt or chemical agents were used to disperse snow and ice
on the landing field, wash the affected areas with clean water
as soon as possible. A wetting agent (e.g., TEEPOL or Com-
prex A) may be added in small quantities.
If time or conditions prevent the removal of contaminants, make
a note in the Technical Log so that appropriate action can be
taken later.
