Quick Reference
Q Performance data is provided in the AFM for the three different
takeoff flap settings: 0 degrees, 10 degrees, and 20 degrees. Each
setting provides performance advantages under different circum-
stances. In situations where the maximum takeoff weight is being
limited by climb requirements, brake energy limits, or available run-
way length, use of a different takeoff flap setting may allow a higher
takeoff weight.
Q The Environmental Control System (ECS) can be turned OFF to
increase available thrust during takeoff, thereby sometimes per-
mitting higher takeoff weights. If ECS OFF takeoff procedures are
used, it is mandatory that ECS OFF be used for approach and
landing in the event of an emergency return to the departure air-
port. The combined selection of ECS OFF and Engine Anti-Ice
ON is not permissible operation.
Q Takeoffs under icing conditions shall be conducted with an air-
plane free of ice, frost, and wet snow that is adhering to the air-
frame. The presence of such accumulations may result in
significant changes in the aerodynamic characteristics, drag, and
stalling speed of the airplane, which would invalidate published
performance data.

According to FAR Part 91.519 and 135.117 requirements, the pilot-in-
command or a crewmember briefs the passengers on smoking, use of Passenger
safety belts, location and operation of the passenger entry door and
emergency exits, location and use of survival equipment, and normal
Briefing
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 information
should be available to each passenger to supplement the oral briefing.
FAR 135.117 states that a printed card with the above information must

tors 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.

Towing/Taxiing
On hard surfaces, the aircraft can be towed or pushed backwards using
a tow bar (P/N 45A91715-1) attached to the nose wheel. Turning angle
of the nose wheel with tow bar is 90 degrees either side of center. When
the aircraft is on a soft surface (such as sand, soft ground, or mud), tow-
ing 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 nose wheel
steering system. To prevent landing gear or engine damage, taxi the air-
plane on a smooth, hard surface that is free of loose gravel or debris.
The maximum turning radius for the nose wheel steering system is 45
degrees either side of center.

Deicing Supplemental Information Cold Weather


This section provides supplementary information on aircraft deicing,
anti-icing/deicing fluids, deicing procedures, and aircraft operating pro- Operations
cedures. Consult the Aircraft Flight Manual, aircraft maintenance man-
ual, 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 aircraft per-
formance degradation, loss of lift, and erratic engine and flight
instruments.
Following extended high-altitude flight, frost can form at ambient tem-
peratures 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 average ambi-
ent 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 han-
gar 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 emergency 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
- jet pipe exhausts
- nose and main gear wheels

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
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 specially inhibited, glycol-based solutions.
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 ventila-
tion ducts, to prevent toxic fumes from entering the cabin or cockpit
during taxi or takeoff.

Expanded Normal Procedures
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 freez-
ing, 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 pre-
vent 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 deic-
ing 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 and 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 manu-
facturer's instructions. If the frost-forming conditions are severe, apply
a light coat of concentrated fluid after defrosting to maximize the hold-
over period.
Removing Sleet and Freezing Rain
To remove sleet or freezing rain, spray undiluted deicing fluid accord-
ing 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 taxiing 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, flaps 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 immediately
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.

Before Takeoff Check . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . COMPLETE
To ensure the aircraft is configured for takeoff, complete the before

Takeoff
In icing conditions, turn on wing anti-ice, engine ignition, and engine
anti-ice 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. Expect a lag in
nose wheel steering and anticipate corrections. A forward pressure on
the control column increases nose wheel steering effectiveness.
A layer of slush exerts a large drag on the wheels, particularly at high
speeds. This drag increases the distance required to accelerate and may
cause difficulty in rotation. The recommended technique in these con-
ditions is to take off with flaps 15 degrees and to rotate at normal VR.
To dislodge any slush accumulations, cycle the gear several times
before final retraction after takeoff.

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 protection. The
thrust at a given RPM decreases; fuel flow and ITT increase. The pen-
alties on sector fuel are large.
The following is the recommended procedure.
Q Climb at 230 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
Descend at 230 KIAS. Thrust levers may be closed. Some airbrake
extension is necessary; 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 normal holding speed.

Landing
When landing on a very wet or slush-covered runway, there is a risk
that water may enter the engine intakes and cause a malfunction. To
reduce the effect of ingestion, select engine ignition ON prior to land-
ing; switch engine ignition OFF after landing.
If reverse thrust is not used, shutting down either engine after selecting
speedbrakes helps deceleration. In a crosswind, shut down the down-
wind engine.
If available, use reverse thrust; however, select forward idle if direc-
tional control becomes difficult.
Ground clearance with flaps lowered is relatively small; when operat-
ing on a runway with deep puddles, slush, snow or ice, observe the
following:
Q
Do not perform touch-and-go landings.
Q Avoid retracting the flaps if practicable. With the flaps extended,
examine the top and bottom flap surfaces and adjacent structures for
damage; also check for packed slush, snow or ice between the flap
and wing structure.
Q If the flaps are undamaged, maintenance personnel should examine
each inboard hinge bolt for signs of overloading at the first conve-
nient opportunity (but no later than the next Service A inspection).

Taxi-In/Park
If severe icing conditions are present, set engine anti-icing and ignition
to ON. During prolonged ground operation, periodic engine run-up
may be performed to reduce the possibility of ice buildup.

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 possi-
ble. A wetting agent (e.g., TEEPOL or Comprex 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.

Approach Speed Explanation


The concept of VREF can be confusing to pilots learning how to determine approach speeds. The
following example is intended to explain the relationship between the published VREF (Flaps 30°),
the calculated VREF (for other than Flaps 30°) and the actual VREF (in the form of a Greenline) on
the Primary Flight Display (PFD).

The published VREF for this aircraft is defined as 1.3 x VSO (stall speed in the landing configuration -
Flaps 30°).

10 Degrees 110 10 120 Approx. 125

0 Degrees 110 20 130 Approx. 130

Most of the time approaches are flown in the landing configuration (Flaps 30°), and consequently
the calculated VREF will be the same as the published VREF. But if the approach configuration is
other than Flaps 30 °, the published VREF must be adjusted with a correction factor to estimate 1.3
AOA. This will result in a higher calculated VREF than the published VREF. For example, if an
approach is flown at flaps 0°, then 20 KIAS must be added to the published VREF to determine
calculated VREF.

In the Beechjet 400A, the AOA system can compute an actual VREF by using the AOA vanes. The
actual VREF is displayed on the PFD (in the form of a Greenline). Flying the Greenline always
assures the appropriate speed (regardless of configuration) for 1.3 AOA. Most pilots can avoid the
“mental gymnastics” of VREF simply by using the Greenline all the time. However, it is important to
remember that the Greenline changes every time your configuration changes.

The CAE SimuFlite SOP recommends crossing the FAF at VREF +10 kts (for maneuvering), and
then crossing the threshold at VREF. In order to observe the PTS tolerances of desired airspeed (±5
kts) on final approach, plan a target approach speed of Greenline -0 / +10 kts. But be sure to always
use the calculated VREF -0 / +10 kts to estimate and verify the accuracy of your Greenline.

master warning system. Chapter 5C
The Beechjet 400A airplane incorporates three electrical power
systems: the DC electrical system, the AC electrical system and
the standby power system. The DC electrical system consists of
two 28.5V DC, 400 ampere-hour, engine-driven starter-genera-
tors, either a 24V DC, 36 ampere-hour nickel cadmium battery or
a 24V DC, 40 ampere-hour lead acid battery, a power distribution
system and a 28V DC external power system. The AC electrical
system consists of two inverters producing 115V AC and 26V
AC, 400 Hz electrical power and a power distribution system. The
standby power system consists of a battery, an ON-ARM switch
and indicators.
The lighting system consists of interior and exterior lights. Inte-
rior lighting includes systems for the flight and passenger com-
partments. Exterior lighting includes the navigation, anti-
collision, landing, taxi, ice detection and logo lights.
The master warning system provides visual and/or aural warnings
of system operation, conditions requiring the operator’s attention,
and emergency conditions requiring immediate operator action.

The Beechjet 400A fuel system provides an independent fuel sup-


ply for each engine. It is designed for safe operation between sea Fuel
level and 45,000 feet, and within the temperature range of -40°F
(-40°C) to 122°F (50°C). All components in the fuel system are Systems
compatible with jet fuel grades Jet A/A-1, Jet B, JP-4, JP-5, JP-8,
JP-8 +100 and RP-3 (Chinese). This system is not designed for
use of any grade of avgas. Total usable fuel capacity is 733 US

gallons.
The fuel system consists of two independent, integral wing tanks,
two forward fuselage tanks, two mid fuselage tanks, one aft fuse-
lage tank, and one fuselage fill tank. Also included in the system
are controls and indicators for feeding fuel to the engines, trans-
ferring fuel from the fuselage to the wings, cross-feeding fuel
from either wing tank to both engines, fuel temperature, and
quantity monitoring.

The power brakes are controlled by pressure from toe-operated
master cylinders. Antiskid, when selected, provides maximum
braking capability without skid under all runway conditions.
The nose wheel steering system, capable of steering 25 degrees
either side of center, is mechanically actuated by rudder pedal
deflection and can be castered to 45 degrees by use of asymmetric
brake application and thrust. The system is disengaged when the
gear is retracted. A steering damper prevents vibration feedback
to the pedals and a separate shimmy damper prevents nose wheel

Chapter 5K
The pressurization and air conditioning systems utilize bleed air
to pressurize and air condition the cabin, and defog the cockpit
windows. During normal operation, most functions are automatic.
The only manual adjustments required are for individual comfort,
such as cabin rate of climb and temperature. Ram air for cabin
ventilation is available when the pressurization system is not in

The Beechjet 400A is powered by two JT15D-5 turbofan engines,


manufactured by Pratt & Whitney of Canada Ltd. The engines are Powerplant
enclosed in nacelles and are mounted to the airframe on pylons,
one on each side of the aft fuselage. Chapter 5L
The JT15D-5 engine is a lightweight twin spool, front fan, jet pro-
pulsion engine that has a full-length annular bypass duct. Each
engine is rated at 2,965 pounds of thrust static on a standard day
at sea level. Air enters the engine through the low-pressure com-
pressor section, passes through the fan station and the flow is split
into an outer (bypass) stream, and an inner (turbine) stream. The
outer flow passes through the annular duct and exhausts at the
rear. The inner flow is directed through an axial booster stage that
is compressed by an impeller before the flow enters the high-pres-
sure centrifugal compressor. Fuel is then mixed with the inner
flow and the mixture is burned. Expansion of the burning mixture
spins the turbines and provides energy to drive the high and low
compressor turbines. Although some of the energy drives the high
and low compressor turbines, the primary energy is directed
through the inner exhaust duct as the engine thrust component.
In addition to providing thrust, the engines also provide electrical
power for the electrical system, hydraulic power for the hydraulic
system and bleed air for the pneumatic system. The engine driven
accessories (generator, hydraulic pump, etc.) are mounted on the
accessory gearbox and are secured to the underside of the inter-
mediate engine case.
