INTRODUCTION
A low-wing, T-tail pressurized airplane, the EMB-135BJ (Legacy 650) is powered by two high bypass ratio, rear-mounted
turbofan engines. The tricycle landing gear is retractable, with twin tires in each leg.

A glass cockpit panel offers highly integrated onboard avionics, with Charts and Maps displays, and VNAV capability. This
technology improves situational awareness and allows pilots to better monitor airplane operation.

The Legacy 650 has a range of 3,900 nautical miles (7,223 kilometers), and can fly at a maximum altitude of 41,000 feet.
It can carry up to 15 passengers. Eleven different passenger cabin layout options are available, each with front galley and
rear toilet.

INTRODUCTION
Ground servicing tasks are normally performed by maintenance personnel, but the flight crew should also be familiar with
the basics of aircraft ground servicing.

For full details on ground servicing, please refer to the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.

EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS
EXTERNAL POWER
For external power, connect a 28V DC power supply source to the aircraft through the receptacle on the left side of the
fuselage nose. To avoid any electrical problems, the ground power unit (GPU) should be capable of supplying at least 300
amps.

However, airplanes that have the optional forward lavatory
will not be equipped with an air conditioning ground con-
nection.

Because the external air conditioning goes directly to the


distribution ducts, it is not necessary to adjust the settings
of any aircraft systems. But to avoid cabin pressurization,
the main door should be left open when external condi-
tioned air is being used.

STATIC GROUNDING
To dissipate any electrical charge that may build up, the
aircraft has three grounding points. Each wing leading
edge has one grounding point on its lower surface, and the
other is aft of the nose landing gear.

To properly ground the airplane:

• Make sure that the aircraft is parked adjacent to an


approved grounding point.
• Connect the static ground cable plug to one of the
grounding points under each wing and the other end
to an earth grounding point.
• Connect the static grounding cable of the ground sup-
port equipment to an earth grounding point.
• Connect the static grounding cable plug of the ground
support equipment to one of the airplane grounding
points.
• Finally, connect the ground support equipment to the
airplane and begin servicing. GROUNDING

TOWING
To carry out ground towing, a towbar and towbar head at-
tachment are coupled to the nose landing gear. The towbar
and towbar head attachment are stowed in the baggage
compartment when not in use.

The towbar consists of breakable sections. In case of any


towing abnormality, the towbar will break apart to protect
the airplane structure and the nose landing gear from dam-
age. NOSE

During towing, the maximum nosewheel displacement is
170° to the left or 170° to the right. There are red indicator TOWING

marks on the nosewheel to indicate these limits.

The maximum recommended wind speeds for airplane


towing, pivoting, turning, and taxiing are determined by the
airplane’s weight and the runway conditions.

FUEL SYSTEM SERVICING


Refueling and defueling operations may be performed either by pressure or by gravity. In cold weather, fuel tanks should
be drained prior to refueling to remove water at the bottom of the tank which could freeze. The frequency of tank draining
may vary, but at a minimum, it should be done during cold weather operations or if the fuel source is unknown or unreli-
able.

If a fuel imbalance occurs between the wing and fuselage tanks, a fuel transfer may be required to maintain the center of
gravity. A maintenance panel for this purpose is located in the galley.

DEFUELING
Wing tanks may be emptied using either pressure defueling
or gravity defueling. For pressure defueling, connect the
fuel nozzle to the pressure refueling adapter and begin the
defueling operation. For gravity defueling, connect to the
defueling port at the wing stub. To defuel the auxiliary
tanks, either with pressure or with gravity, fuel must first be
transferred to the wing tanks.

REFUELING WITH AN ENGINE RUNNING


Refueling the airplane with an engine running is not recommended, as it poses a risk of fire and adds risks to the safety of
personnel required to move around the airplane. But it may be the best option in certain operational conditions. If refueling
the airplane can be done at an acceptable level of safety, follow this procedure:

• Shut down the left engine in order to deplane the passengers.


• Restart the left engine and shut down the right engine.
• Perform pressure refueling.
• Start the right engine.
• Shut down the left engine to reboard passengers.

FUEL TANK DRAINING


Fuel tanks should be drained periodically to check for water In cold weather:

• Drain again if the airplane will be parked for more than
two hours.
When examining drained fuel for water, look for water as
bubbles in the fuel or as a layer that has settled to the bot-
tom of the tank.

ENGINE OIL SERVICING


Engine oil levels may be monitored with an oil level sight
gauge on the engine. The oil tank also features an oil level/
low level warning sensor which allows the oil level to be
monitored on the TAKEOFF page of the Multi Function Dis-
play (MFD). To check the oil level in the engine, open its
access door and look at the sight glass.

The rate of engine oil consumption is considered high when


it exceeds the typical consumption rate for the engine, or
when it is equal to or more than 10.1 ounces per hour (0.32
quarts per hour or 300 cc per hour). It is common for the
rate of engine oil consumption to increase as engine hours
increase. But high oil consumption may indicate a leak or
that a part of the engine is not functioning properly.

To fill the tank with oil, remove the filler cap and carefully
pour oil through the filler neck. Watch to make sure that the
FULL mark on the sight glass is not exceeded.

The minimum dispatch oil quantity is 8 quarts before en-


gine start, or 6 quarts after engine start.

INTRODUCTION
On the Legacy 650, an integrated system of computers and visual displays is designed to reduce pilots’ workload while
providing reliability and redundancy.

The main source of flight information is the electronic flight Several types of warnings are used to notify the crew of
information system (EFIS). It has five LCD screens: systems status, malfunctions, and abnormal airplane con-
figurations.
• Two Primary Flight Displays (PFDs)
• 
Visual warnings include master warning and caution
• Two Multi-Function Displays (MFDs)
lights, illuminated buttons, annunciators on the PFD,
• One Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System and messages on the EICAS.
(EICAS)
• 
Aural warnings are sent by the aural warning unit
(AWU) and delivered over the cockpit speakers.
• 
Sensitive warnings are available through the Stall Pro-
tection System (SPS), which shake the control column
if an imminent stall is detected.
• 
Other warnings add safety to navigation and approach
procedures, such as the enhanced ground proximity
warning system (EGPWS), the traffic and collision
avoidance system (TCAS), and the windshear detec-
tion and escape guidance system.

Weather and Terrain on MFD

Weather and terrain cannot be displayed simul-


taneously on the MFD, but pilots have two other
options. Weather can be displayed on the PFD,
while terrain is displayed on the MFD. Or one
pilot’s MFD can display weather while the other
pilot’s MFD displays terrain.

DISPLAY FAILURES
If a main display screen is blank, the screen has no power. This may indicate a failed display or an electrical problem. A
red X shows that the screen is still operational, but the data input from the IC-600 is unavailable.

LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER LOSS OF INPUTS

The root cause of a failure is not always immediately


apparent. Knowing which screens are powered by
each electrical bus is an important tool to help pilots
make a correct and timely response to an electrical
failure.

STALL PROTECTION SYSTEM


To prevent an airplane stall, the stall protection system (SPS) provides sensitive, visual, and aural indications of an im-
pending stall. The SPS consists of one computer box with two independent channels, the SPS panel, two angle of attack
(AOA) sensors, two stick shaker actuators, and one stick pusher actuator. Either channel can trigger its shaker indepen-
dently. Because the control columns are connected, the shaker will be felt in both control wheels. In order for the stick
pusher to be actuated, both SPS channels must be operable and both must agree as to the imminent stall condition.

If a stall condition is imminent, the system first actuates the stick shaker and the autopilot is automatically disengaged.
If no corrective action is taken, a “clacker” warning sounds and the stick pusher is actuated, which pitches the nose down.

To verify flight conditions and avoid spurious actuation, the SPS gets input from many airplane systems. It adjusts its set
point according to flaps and landing gear position, icing and windshear conditions, and Mach number. At higher altitudes,
the SPS advances its set point to account for compressibility effects. The advanced set point means that at higher alti-
tudes, both the pusher and the shaker become active at higher speeds than at lower altitudes.

SPS/ICE SPEEDS

If it is necessary to override the stick pusher, there


is a quick disconnect button on each control wheel.
In addition, to disconnect the system in case of fail-
ure, there is a cutout button for each channel on the
SPS panel. An EICAS message will display to indi-
cate that the system has failed or has been cut out.

WINDSHEAR INDICATIONS

1 WDSHEAR
Indicates that a windshear has been detected,
in either amber or red depending on the severity
of windshear. This indication is removed when
windshear is no longer present.
2 WSHR
Indicates that the windshear flight guidance es- 1 2 3 4
cape mode is engaged, in green. This mode will
remain engaged until another vertical mode is
selected.
3 Pitch Limit Indicator
Shows the remaining angle of attack margin be-
fore the stick shaker is triggered.
4 Flight Director
Indicates the appropriate pitch to fly during a
windshear occurrence.

The vertical mode WSHR will not capture the prese-


lected altitude. When the windshear condition is no
longer present, the flight crew must manually select
a new vertical mode.

TRAFFIC AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM


SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Legacy 650 is equipped with a traffic and collision avoidance system (TCAS), which uses transponder signals to
provide the flight crew with an awareness of nearby aircraft and prevent mid-air collisions.

In addition to enhancing crew awareness of conflicting air When flying near an airport, nuisance messages can be

CAREFUL EVALUATION OF THE SITUATION. Mode A transponder, only traffic advisories may be gener-
ated. The TCAS provides no indication or tracking of air-
planes without operating transponders.
The TCAS receives signals from the transponders of other
aircraft, allowing it to learn the distance to the traffic, its
altitude, and its predicted path.

To determine whether or not the intruder could become a LATERAL COVERAGE


target, the TCAS creates an alert zone, based on the sepa-
ration and speeds of both airplanes. The size of the alert
zone is not based on their separation in distance, but on
their time separation.

INTRODUCTION
Integrated into every system in the Legacy 650, the electrical system supplies DC power and AC power for both normal
and emergency operations. Many systems on this aircraft rely on electrical power—such as the flaps—rather than other
power sources.

Because the electrical system is so essential to aircraft operation, there are many redundancies built into the system.
There are, for example, five independent generators, two main batteries, a backup battery, and separate left and right DC
electrical networks.

The electrical distribution logic (EDL) manages the system, helping to reduce pilots’ workload by handling duties such as
load shedding during normal, abnormal, and emergency operations.

Status information for the electrical system is provided on the MFD, and EICAS messages alert the crew when electrical
system failures occur.

COMPONENTS
ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCES
The DC power system is the primary source of electrical power. It supplies 28 V DC for all airplane loads and also re-
charges the batteries.

The DC power system includes:

• Four engine driven generators (28 V DC/400 A). NO. 4 GENERATOR


NO. 2 GENERATOR APU GENERATOR
• One APU starter-generator (28 V DC/400 A).
• Two nickel-cadmium batteries (24 V DC/44 Ah/1-hour
rate).
• One lead-acid backup battery (24 V DC/5 Ah/10-hour
rate).
• External power source.

• At 95% RPM plus seven seconds, the APU starter-gen-
erator is able to supply electrical power. At this point,
the APU line contactor (ALC) is closed, connecting the
APU starter-generator to the load buses.

Main Batteries
The two main batteries can supply essential loads if there
is an in-flight failure of all engine driven generators and the
APU is not available.

Airborne, fully charged batteries can supply at least 40


minutes of power.

The batteries are located in a compartment on the left side


of the airplane nose section. To prevent overheating, the
batteries are ventilated by forced airflow. If the battery in-
ternal temperature rises above 70°C, a warning message
displays on the EICAS and pilots should select the associ-
ated battery OFF.

The Legacy 650 follows the dark cockpit philosophy. In normal flight, the electrical panel buttons should be dark. With the
exception of the GPU, all buttons should be pressed in during normal flight, and pressing the button out will cause a white
stripe to be illuminated inside the button. The GPU button is dark when pressed out because this is the normal inflight

APU START
To start the APU, battery 2 must have a minimum voltage of 23.5V. If a
GPU is not available, it is important to start the APU quickly after the bat-
teries are turned on. To check the battery voltage on the MFD, select
AVIONICS MASTER 1 or 2 to ON, but be sure to turn them back off again
before starting the APU.

If battery voltage is below 19 V it must be replaced. If battery voltage is


below 24 V report to the maintenance personnel or recharge the affected
battery by using the APU generator. In case of recharging, it is recom-
mended that battery 1 be turned OFF before APU start. After APU start
wait 3 minutes then select battery 1 to AUTO. This protects the APU
generator from an overload condition caused by recharging both batter-
ies simultaneously. The minimum time for battery recharging is 30 min-
utes.

When the APU is used as the sole power source on the ground, the Shed
Bus OVRD knob should be set to OVRD to provide power to the Shed
Buses. After Engines are started, select the Shed bus OVRD knob to
AUTO.

INTRODUCTION
The Legacy 650 fuel system includes a fuel tank in each wing along with five auxiliary tanks that feed into the wing tanks.
The fuel from the auxiliary tanks does not flow directly to the engines and APU; fuel is always transferred first to the wing
tanks. Both refueling and defueling are normally done by pressure, though gravity may also be used for the wing tanks.

Fuel system indications are displayed on the fuel page of the MFD and on the EICAS. WING

to the wing tanks at a rate of approximately 2,000 lbs/hour.
Once FUS 1, FUS 2, or VTRL transfer is selected on, the

ABNORMAL OPERATION
FUEL PUMP FAILURE
In each wing tank, one of three electric fuel pumps supplies fuel to the engines and the APU. When a fuel pump is se-
lected, the other two pumps in that tank remain on standby. If a fuel pump fails, the pressure will drop. When the pressure
drops to 6.5 psi, the other pumps are automatically turned on.

The MFD displays all three pumps as ON, and an EICAS caution message shows E1 (2) FUEL LO PRESS. When the fuel
pressure increases, the system no longer recognizes a need to select all pumps ON, so it deselects the two pumps that
were in standby. The pressure falls again and the cycle continues until the pilot selects another pump using the PUMP SEL
knob.

If all pumps fail, the engine is capable of suction feed when below 25,000 ft, using the gear pump in the engine's fuel pump
and metering unit (FPMU) to draw fuel out of the wings.

FAILURE IN FUEL MEASUREMENT


If fuel quantity indicators on the EICAS are inoperative,
three measuring sticks at the base of each wing tank may
be used to visually check the fuel quantity.

To get an accurate reading with the measuring sticks, fol-


low this procedure:

• Ensure that the aircraft is level.


• Begin with the external measuring stick closest to the
wingtip. If it gives a reading, stop there.
• If the wingtip measuring stick does not have a read-
ing, proceed inward to the next measuring stick.
• If the internal measuring stick shows a zero indica-
tion, use the wing stub measuring stick.
• Do not add readings together. To determine fuel quan-
tity, use the measuring stick tables in 2-08 of the
AOM.

even fire—the APU will not automatically shut down. The
pilots must first consider the need for a generator, and de-
cide whether or not to shut down the APU.

The APU will shut down automatically for the following conditions:

FIGURE 9-4. AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN

NOTE:
In the event of fire on the ground, there is a 10-second delay before an automatic APU shutdown is initiated. This allows
for a fire test. During the fire test, a fire signal is sent to the APU. If the TEST button is held for longer than 10 seconds, the
APU will automatically shut down if it is running.

In case of APU fire, press the APU FUEL SHUTOFF button. That shuts down the APU by closing the shutoff valve of the
APU fuel feed line which is located near the wing tanks.

are called the high-pressure turbines. These are connected
via a shaft to drive the compressor. Together, the 2-stage
high-pressure turbine and the compressor make up the N2
spool. The 3-stage low-pressure turbine drives the fan and
make up the N1 spool. The N2 shaft is hollow, which allows
the N1 shaft to go through its center, and the two spools
spin independently of each other. The engine thrust is gen-
erated by the fan, and thrust is set using the N1 indication
on the EICAS.

FADEC Discrete Outputs
Each FADEC provides two output signals:

N2 accelerates to 56.4%, and is deactivated when N2
drops below 53% (this signals whether the engine is
running or not).
•

Located in the accessory gearbox, the ATS uses pneumatic

The SCV opens to allow air into the ATS, and closes after
the start is complete. In case of a valve or electrical failure,
the SCV can be manually opened and closed.

THRUST REVERSERS
INTRODUCTION
To decelerate the aircraft after landing or during a rejected takeoff, each engine is equipped with a thrust reverser. Each
thrust reverser consists of two pivoting doors which divert the engine's thrust forward rather than backward. When thrust
reversers are stowed and not in use, they form part of the exhaust nozzle.

a continuous flow of hydraulic fluid—but at a lower volume.
It pumps 0.7 gallons per minute and operates at 2,900 psi. While there is only a small difference in pressure

INTRODUCTION
The Legacy 650 landing gear system incorporates gear extension and retraction as well as braking and steering capabili-
ties. All of these functions are electronically controlled, electronically monitored, and hydraulically actuated.

The landing gear uses proximity switches for air/ground logic and for gear up and down indications.

System status and failures are indicated on the EICAS, with a backup display on the RMU.

LANDING GEAR SYSTEM


LANDING GEAR OPERATION
Landing gear retraction and extension are powered by Hydraulic System 1. The main landing gear legs retract inboard, and
are mechanically connected to their respective doors.

The nose landing gear retracts forward. Hydraulic pressure is used to hold the nose gear doors open or closed.

Landing Gear Extension


To lower the landing gear, move the landing gear le-
ver to the DN position. This signals the LGEU, which
commands hydraulic pressure to release the up-
locks and extend the gear legs and doors. When the
gear legs reach the DN position, the downlocks are
actuated to lock the gear in the extended position.
The maximum speed at which landing gear can be
extended is 250 kts.

Landing Gear Retraction


To retract the landing gear, move the landing gear
lever to the UP position. This signals the LGEU,
which commands hydraulic pressure to unlock the
downlocks and raise the gear legs into their respec-
tive wheel wells. The maximum speed at which
landing gear can be retracted is 200 kts.

The nose gear doors close after the nose landing


gear is locked in the UP position.

ABNORMAL OPERATION
If normal gear extension fails, the landing gear can be extended through an electrical override or free-fall extension.

Electrical Override Extension


The electrical override switch lets the system bypass the
LGEU to directly actuate the landing gear and doors. In the

Free-Fall Extension
In case of failure of both normal and electrical override ex-
tension, free-fall extension may be used. To perform, pull
up the lever inside the free-fall lever compartment. This
mechanically releases the uplocks of all three gear legs
and depressurizes the hydraulic lines. The gear legs fall by
gravity. If the gears do not lock in the DN position, aerody-
namic drag can be used to assist by side slipping the air-
craft.

After extending the gear, the lever will remain in the UP po-
sition. To stow the lever and return the landing gear to nor-
mal operation, press the button on the end of the lever to
unlock it and lower it slowly.

BRAKE SYSTEM
NORMAL BRAKES
The normal brake system is controlled with the tops of the
rudder pedals. Signals from the rudder pedals are sent to
the brake control unit (BCU), which modulates hydraulic
pressure sent to the four wheel brakes.

Hydraulic System 1 powers the outboard brakes, and Hy-


draulic System 2 powers the inboard brakes.

Protective functions of the normal braking system include:

• 
Anti-skid protection
Active at speeds above 10 kts, the anti-skid works by
relieving hydraulic pressure to the brakes. If the BCU
receives a signal that one wheel is slower than the
wheel speed average, it relieves some of the braking
pressure to that side. The pressure is reduced until
that wheel has caught up and all of the wheels have
returned to the average speed.
Anti-skid minimizes tire wear, optimizes braking dis-
tance, and prevents skidding.

• Locked wheel protection


Active at speeds above 30 kts, the locked wheel pro-
tection also works by comparing wheel speeds. If the
speed of one wheel is 30% lower than that of another
wheel, the locked wheel protection releases all of the
brake pressure to the slower wheel. Brake pressure is
resumed once normal wheel speed has been recov-
ered.

• 
Touchdown protection
With touchdown protection, the brakes are prevented
from being actuated immediately on touchdown. They
do not actuate until the main wheels contact the run-
way and spin up to 50 kts. In the case of sliding or hy-
droplaning, it also allows brake actuation three sec-
onds after touchdown. In a bounced landing, brakes
will actuate three seconds after the latest runway con-
tact.

TRIM SYSTEMS
Trim is provided for the pitch, roll, and yaw axes, but the aircraft does not utilize any trim tabs.

The pitch trim may be controlled manually or by the autopilot. Actuating the pitch trim switches while the autopilot is en-
gaged will disengage the autopilot. The roll and yaw trims can only be actuated manually, and are designed to be used with
the autopilot engaged. Use of the roll and yaw trim will not disengage the autopilot.

ing strong winds. The gust lock system only protects the elevator, as the aileron and rudder are hydraulically powered, and
the hydraulic pressure naturally dampens any undesired movement.

Located on the control pedestal, the gust lock lever has yellow and black stripes and is labeled ELEC GUST LOCK. When
actuated, the system uses locking pins to prevent the elevator panels from moving.

Locking and unlocking the system is possible only on the ground. Once airborne, the system is deenergized. The glareshield
panel has two indication lights—one on each side—and they illuminate during the unlocking cycle, or to indicate a failure
in the system.

The gust lock lever has three positions:

While the pins are transitioning from locked to

seconds.
• After the pins are unlocked, the gust lock light will

To lock the gust lock:


• Pull the control column backwards to at
least the neutral position.
• Lift the lever and pull the gust lock back
toward the thrust levers to engage it.

INTRODUCTION
The pneumatic system can be supplied by three sources of air: the engines, the APU, or a ground pneumatic source.

Pneumatic air is used for the following functions:

• Engine start
• Air conditioning and cabin airflow
• Pressurization
• Anti-icing

PNEUMATIC SYSTEM
Engine bleed air for the pneumatic system is tapped from the 9th (low pressure) and 14th (high pressure) stages of the
engine compressor section.

Under most normal conditions, bleed air comes from the


9th stage. The 14th stage is hotter and has higher pressure.
It is controlled by a high-stage valve (HSV) which opens
automatically in the following conditions:

• Low thrust, when the high-stage pressure switch de-


tects low pressure
• Anti-ice operations, so that the hottest air is used
• Cross-bleed start
The 9th stage does not have an ON/OFF switch or valve —
just a check valve. If the HSV is open, the 9th stage cannot
supply the system. That’s because the higher pressure of
the 14th stage overpowers the lower pressure of the 9th
stage.

A precooler, located in the pylon, uses fan air to cool the


bleed air from temperatures higher than 2000°F to a maxi-
mum of 570°F (299°C). So even after cooling, the air is still
very hot.

Each of the engines and the APU have a bleed valve con-
trolled by a button on the overhead panel, and it turns on
and off the air supply from that source. When turned on,
the air is able to supply the pneumatic system.

A ground pneumatic source connects to the aircraft


through a receptacle on the right side of the rear fuselage.
It supplies the right side of the pneumatic system, provid-
ing pressurized air to start the engines. The output pres-
sure of the unit must be set between 40 psi and 45 psi.

The pneumatic system is divided into left and right sides.


On the left side is the Engine 1 bleed and APU bleed, the
left pack, and anti-ice for Wing 1 and the horizontal stabi-
lizer. On the right is the Engine 2 bleed, the right pack, and
Wing 2 anti-ice. The two sides can be isolated or intercon-

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM


Two environmental control units (ECUs), often called air conditioning packs, provide conditioned air to the airplane. Engine
or APU bleed can supply air to the packs.

NORMAL OPERATION—AUTOMATIC MODE


The automatic mode is controlled by the digital controller, and requires the crew to enter a landing altitude prior to takeoff.
If no landing altitude is entered, the system will default to 8,000 ft as the landing altitude. The digital controller determines
how much to open the electropneumatic outflow valve, based on landing altitude, cabin pressure, inputs from the air data
computer, air ground position, and thrust lever position.

When operating in automatic mode, the manual controller knob should be set to the AUTO or Full DN position.

INTRODUCTION
Icing conditions exist when static air temperature (SAT) on the ground, or total air temperature (TAT) in flight, is 10°C or
below and visible moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of one mile or less, rain, snow, sleet,
or ice crystals). Icing conditions may also exist when the SAT is 10°C or below while operating on ramps, taxiways, or
runways where surface snow, ice, standing water, or slush may be ingested by the engines, or freeze onto the aircraft.

The ice protection system is fully automatic, using hot air or electrical heat to prevent ice buildup. It is activated auto-
matically when icing is detected.

The areas heated by hot bleed air include: Although ice protection is automatic, the flight crew can
override the system if necessary—and in case of failure,
• Wing leading edges they should.
• Horizontal stabilizer leading edge

ICE DETECTION SYSTEM


ICE DETECTORS
One ice detector is located on each side of the airplane’s
nose. Ice detectors are designed to pick up ice quickly, of-
ten before it can be seen by the flight crew.

When the aircraft is energized, the ice detector probes vi-


brate at a set frequency. When 0.5 mm of ice accumulates,
the frequency of the vibration changes, and that change
signals the system that icing conditions are present.

When ice is detected, a signal is sent for the ice protection


to be activated and an ICE CONDITION message displays
on the EICAS. When ice is detected, a 60 second timer is
started and heat is applied to the ice detector for 7 sec-
onds to melt the ice. After 60 seconds, if the probe has re-
turned to its normal vibration, indicating no further ice ac-
cumulation, the ice protection is turned off.

CLEAR ICE DETECTORS


Clear ice may accumulate on the upper surfaces of the
FIGURE 15-3.
wings, especially after flying at high altitudes. At high alti- ICE DETECTOR
tudes, the fuel in the wing tanks can become very cold.
When the airplane descends into more humid air or en-
counters precipitation, this moisture can freeze when con-
tacting the cold wings. Because clear ice is difficult to see,
a clear ice detector is placed on the upper surface of each
wing. Each sensor is mounted flush with the surface, and
consists of a vibrating diaphragm which changes frequen-
cy with ice buildup. A CAUTION message displays on the
EICAS and a CLR ICE 1 (2) light illuminates on the main
panel.

There is no heater or ice protection for the wing upper sur-


faces, but it is important for the crew to be aware when ice
is present and to consider how ice can impact aircraft per-
formance.

WING AND STABILIZER ICE PROTEC- WINDSHIELD HEATING


TION (PPG WINDSHIELD)
To heat the wing and stabilizer leading edges, the pneu-
matic system sends hot air through piccolo tubes, (pipes
with small holes) that run along their surfaces. Each wing's
hot air is discharged through exhaust ports on the under-
side of the wings and through the vortilons. The horizontal
stabilizer's hot air discharge is used to heat the elevator BUS BARS
horn. (The vertical stabilizer does not have ice protection.)

Airflow is closely regulated. Pressure switches are used to


monitor the system for high and low air pressure, duct leak-
age, and piccolo tube integrity.

The left side of the pneumatic system provides bleed air for
the left wing and horizontal stabilizer. The right side pro-
vides air only to the right wing. When the anti-icing system
is active the crossbleed valve opens to ensure that both
wings receive equal amounts of bleed air.

While on the ground, the system is inhibited at speeds be-


low 25 kt. At these low speeds, the lack of surface airflow FIGURE 15-9.

result in structural damage.

The airplane sensors are heated automatically by electrical
heating elements, which are controlled by three buttons on
the overhead panel.

The sensors receiving heat include pitot tubes 1 and 2, pi-

sensors, and AOA vanes.

• All of the sensors except the TAT sensor are heated


whenever at least one engine is running (N2 above

FADEC INTERFACE WITH THE ICING SYSTEM
The FADEC ensures a minimum available thrust during icing conditions to provide sufficient bleed air for anti-icing. The
FADEC also interfaces with the takeoff data settings to account for the effects of the anti-ice system on aircraft perfor-
mance.

message may display on the EICAS. In that case, the flight
crew will need to advance the thrust levers.

When the takeoff data REF A/ICE is set to ON, the FADEC
reduces the available thrust for takeoff. This ensures that if
ice is detected during the takeoff and bleed air is diverted
to the anti-ice system, it will not further affect performance
or be felt as a power loss by the flight crew. The reduction
in available thrust will limit the aircraft performance so it is
important to use correct charts that indicate REF A/ICE
ON.

INTRODUCTION
In case of cabin decompression, the oxygen system supplies supplemental oxygen for the crew and passengers. Oxygen
for both crew and passengers is stored in high-pressure cylinders for distribution to the masks.

The system includes three independent subsystems:

• Flight crew oxygen


• Passenger oxygen
• Portable oxygen

On the lower right side of the aircraft’s nose, near the oxygen service panel, is a green safety disc. If there is an over pres-
surization in either the crew or passenger subsystem, the excessive pressure will cause the green disc to be blown out.

FLIGHT CREW OXYGEN


The flight crew is supplied with oxygen from a 50-cubic foot cylinder on the right side of the cockpit, behind the copilot’s
seat. When filled, the cylinder stores oxygen at 1,850 psi.

A shutoff/regulator valve is used to control oxygen outlet pressure. It should always be left in the ON position.

PILOT AND COPILOT MASKS


For each crew member, a quick-donning pressure/demand
mask provides oxygen.

In the crew mask stowage boxes, a shutoff valve keeps


each mask unpressurized while stowed. When the mask
doors open, the shutoff valve automatically opens to allow
oxygen to flow to the mask. Oxygen supply is not interrupt-
ed when the mask doors are closed. To stop the flow of
oxygen while the mask is out of the storage box, close the
left door and activate the TEST/SHUT OFF sliding control.
The pilot and copilot stowage boxes have a cat’s eye flow
indicator.
FIGURE 16-2.
CREW OXYGEN MASK

OXYGEN SYSTEM TEST


To check the crew oxygen masks, follow this procedure:

• Set the BOOM/MASK selector on the digital audio


panel to the MASK position. This turns on the
speaker and activates the microphone in the mask.
• Select the HOT MIC position on the control wheel
communication switch, and ensure that the speak-
er and interphone volumes are set to normal levels.
• Actuate the test slide button on the mask stowage
box.
• Note the cat’s eye oxygen flow indicator and listen
to the speaker for the sound of oxygen flowing.
• While holding the test slide control down, press the
EMERGENCY button.
• Reset the BOOM/MASK selector to BOOM to return
to normal microphone inputs.

PASSENGER OXYGEN
Depending on airplane configuration, either one or two oxygen cylinders are used to supply passenger oxygen. The
cylinder(s) are filled to 1,850 psi and are located inside a panel near the galley.

PASSENGER OXYGEN MASKS


Oxygen masks are located above the passenger seats and
at the flight attendant station, the galley, and lavatory. Each
location has two masks. To start the flow of oxygen, the
passenger must pull down the mask, which releases the
pin. If the compartments do not open when commanded,
an opening tool may be used to open them manually. At-
tached to the oxygen masks are rebreather bags, which
conserve oxygen by mixing ambient air with 100% oxygen
from the cylinders.

INTRODUCTION
The flight instruments in this section include the airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed indicators which receive pitot-
static information from the Air Data System.

Attitude and heading information is provided by the IRS. Further information about these instruments can be found in the
Navigation and Communication section.

Other components of the flight instruments system are the flight data recorder and the digital clock. In case of electrical

CHRONOMETER/CLOCK
The digital chronometer/clock provides the flight crew with Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), local time (LOC), elapsed time
(ET), chronometer time (CHR), date, and flight number.

The clock is powered by the aircraft’s electrical system and an internal battery. The clock memory holds its settings for
40 hours. If the airplane is de-energized for more than 40 hours, the clock must be reset prior to takeoff.

However, the digital clock on a Post-Mod aircraft does not need to be reset. On those models, the clock automatically
synchronizes with the GPS on startup.

FLIGHT DATA RECORDER SYSTEM


The Flight Data Recorder System (FDRS) automatically records parameters on every flight when the red beacon is
switched ON or the airplane is in flight.

The last 25 hours of data are recorded in a continuous loop. To ensure that data withstands an impact, it is recorded in a
crash survivable case. It is bright orange for higher visibility after a crash, and contains an underwater locator beacon.

To preserve data, an impact switch will automatically stop recording in case of a 5G impact. The flight number is recorded
with the data when it is set on the captain’s clock.

The Flight Data Recorder and the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) are located in the rear electronics compartment. More
information on the CVR can be found in the Navigation and Communication section.

INTRODUCTION
The radio management system (RMS) is responsible for the navigation and communication functions of the Legacy 650
and is primarily controlled through two radio management units—RMU 1 and RMU 2. Backup tuning for COM 2 and NAV 2
is available through the tuning backup control head (TBCH), and all of the radios can be tuned remotely by the FMS. The
RMS interfaces with the passenger address system, aural warning unit, and cockpit voice recorder. The audio system is
controlled by three digital audio panels (DAPs)—one each for the pilot, copilot, and observer.

The communication and navigation equipment of the Leg- Aircraft may also be equipped with the following optional

COMMUNICATION
RADIO MANAGEMENT UNIT
The airplane has two RMUs which provide radio frequency
tuning, and can also be used to display backup navigation
and systems information. They are powered by ESS DC
BUS 1 and 2, and are available in an electric emergency.

The left RMU controls, NAV 1 and COM 1, and the right RMU
tunes NAV 2 and COM 2. However, cross-side tuning is
available by pressing the “1/2” transfer button. Frequencies
are normally displayed in cyan, and are shown in yellow if
tuned from the opposite side. If frequencies are set by the
FIGURE 18-1. RMU LOCATIONS
FMS, they will be displayed in magenta.

The radios are tuned by two concentric tuning knobs on the


bezel. The tuning knobs are also used to modify any data
field that is highlighted, and when the DIM button is
pressed, the outer knob will adjust the screen brightness.

On the ground, the RMS performs a self-test each time the

COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER (CVR)


Located in the rear electronic compartment, the CVR operates when the essential DC buses are energized. It records all
audio signals sent through the DAP, all audio from the cockpit area microphone, and CPDLC messages.

The CVR stores the most recent two hours of data, overwriting any data recorded earlier.

To preserve data after a crash impact, a 5G impact switch shuts off power to the CVR when triggered. And if the airplane
becomes submerged, an underwater locator beacon will transmit a signal for up to 30 days.

Data in the CVR can be erased by pressing the ERASE button, but this can be done only while on the ground with the park-
ing brake set. A two-second tone is sent to the headphones to confirm the erasure. The CVR manufacturer is still able to
recover the “erased” data.

PASSENGER ADDRESS SYSTEM (PAS)


The passenger address system allows the crew to make announcements to the passenger cabin, enables communication
between the cockpit and the cabin attendant, and provides chimes for notifications.

If passengers wish to call the attendant, a chime will sound. A chime will also sound when NO SMOKING and FASTEN

For communication between the cockpit and the passenger cabin, the interphone control unit (ICU) on the overhead panel
is used.

NAVIGATION
INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM (IRS)
There are two independent Inertial Reference Systems (IRS) which provide the aircraft with attitude and heading data.
These also serve as an additional navigation sensor for the FMS. Powered by the essential and backup buses, the IRS uses
inertial sensors to detect the airplane’s direction and rate of movement.

Each IRS consists of an inertial reference unit (IRU) and a mode selector unit (MSU).

The IRU measures inertial motion with three laser gyros and three accelerometers. It requires initialization data from the
FMS and current air data to calculate the aircraft’s position, velocity, heading, and attitude. The IRU is located in the for-
ward electronics compartment.

The MSU is a control panel mounted in the cockpit, providing mode selection, status indication, and test initialization for
the associated IRU. To select an IRS operating mode, use the selector knob. Move the knob to the ALIGN or NAV position
to activate the alignment mode.

IRS Operating Modes


Alignment Mode
During alignment, the ALIGN annunciator illuminates on the
MSU. The aircraft must not be moved during alignment.
The time the IRU needs for alignment varies with latitude.
FIGURE 18-32. IRS MODE SELECTOR UNIT

Attitude Mode
ALIGNMENT TIME – MINUTES

Attitude mode is the IRU’s reversionary mode. If there is a
loss of power to the IRU while in flight, the IRU automati-
10 cally goes into attitude mode. ATT can also be selected by
the crew when the FAULT light illuminates along with an
5
IRS 1(2) FAIL message on the EICAS. In this mode, attitude
outputs are not as accurate as in NAV mode, and the mag-
netic heading must be updated periodically through the

VNAV Submodes
VNAV Flight Level Change VFLC
This is a speed hold mode in both climb and descent. This is different than standard FLC mode, in which climb mode is a
speed hold mode but descent mode is vertical speed. The aircraft will enter VFLC mode when the FLC button is pressed
while VNAV is engaged, or automatically when programmed in the FMS.
NOTE: For VNAV descents, the airplane will normally use VPATH mode. To use VFLC mode, the FLC button must be
pressed.

VNAV Path VPTH


In this mode, VNAV controls the airplane descent via a descent angle path. Path angles can be set in a range between 1
and 6 degrees. VPTH is automatically engaged when the preselector is set to the descent altitude before the top of de-

Temperature Compensation
VNAV temperature compensation is used for
approaches, departures, and missed ap-
proaches. Some instrument procedures have
temperature limits for uncompensated tem-
perature, so if outside these limits the flight
crew must compensate for the temperature
effects on approach minimums. To do this,
pilots should set the temperature in the FMS
in the TEMP COMP menu. It is important to
notify ATC when using temperature compen-
sation, to avoid a loss of vertical separation
with other traffic who may not be using tem-
perature compensation

LOCALIZER PERFORMANCE WITH VERTICAL GUIDANCE (LPV)


LPV approaches allow aircraft to rely on GPS for all phases of flight, for any airport within its coverage range. The proce-
dures are based on the SBAS (satellite-based augmentation system), also known as WAAS (wide area augmentation
system) or EGNOS (European geostationary navigation overlay service).

LPV approaches provide lateral and vertical guidance that becomes more sensitive, or narrower, when approaching the
runway. This mode is designed to simulate the guidance from an ILS. But since LPV does not require ground equipment,
it is less expensive to maintain and is available in more locations than ILS approaches.

LPV approaches are precision approaches and are flown to a decision altitude, not an MDA.

WEATHER RADAR
The weather radar system detects the presence and intensity of precipitation along the flight path of the airplane.

The radar is a water detector. It can best see rain, wet snow, and wet hail, and is most accurate in detecting water droplets
with large diameter. The radar will not detect water vapor, ice crystals, dry hail, or dry snow.

Forced Standby Mode


When on the ground, the airplane automatically en-
ters forced standby mode. This protects ground per-
sonnel from radiation hazards. The flight crew may
override this protection in order to view the weather
radar prior to takeoff by pressing the STAB button
four times within three seconds.
CAUTION: If FSBY is overridden, the transmitter will
be turned on. Do not operate the radar during refuel-
ing, near fuel spills, or near people.

RADAR Tilt
For accurate weather radar readings, proper tilt management is vital. Tilt should be adjusted throughout the flight to en-
sure the radar beam is directed at the center of any storm—where the strongest returns will be. For takeoff, tilt should be
positioned upward. When flying at high altitudes, tilt downward to avoid flying above storm tops.

NORMAL OPERATION
PREFLIGHT AND POWER UP
During the external safety inspection, check the condition of all sensors and antennas.

The IRS should be set to NAV shortly after power up. Many of the instrument checks cannot be done until alignment is
completed, which takes several minutes. To perform a fast alignment on through flights, the IRS should be switched from
NAV to ALIGN and then, after alignment is complete, back to NAV. This is done while the airplane is stationary.

INTRODUCTION
For the autopilot, the Legacy 650 uses the Primus 1000 automatic flight control system (AFCS). This is a three-axis flight
control system which incorporates the functions of lateral and vertical guidance, yaw damper, and automatic pitch trim.

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM


The IC–600 #1 computer is the primary component of the AFCS, which controls the symbol generator, flight director, and
autopilot. The Flight Guidance Controller (FGC) allows pilots to command the flight director, and the autopilot then uses
servos to move the control surfaces to follow the flight director. The autopilot also provides yaw stabilization through the
yaw damper (YD) and continuously monitors itself for failures.

Do not rely on button illumination on the FGC. In-


stead, pilots should always monitor the active flight
guidance modes as indicated on the PFD. After se-
lecting a new mode, pilots should check for a PFD
annunciation to verify that the mode is active.

FLIGHT DIRECTOR MODES


Flight director modes are selected through the FGC. Active and armed modes are annunciated on the PFD and a light is
illuminated inside the associated button.

LATERAL MODES

ROL is the default mode when no other mode is selected. When engaged, it maintains the current heading, and a green ROL
label is displayed on the PFD. It does not follow the heading bug. The green ROL may also indicate the following submodes:

NOTE: During non-precision approaches, use cau-
tion when setting the next planned altitude in the
altitude preselector. If a new altitude is set while the
aircraft is leveling (in ASEL mode), the vertical mode
will switch to pitch mode and will not level off. Wait
until ALT is displayed before setting a new altitude.
Autopilot use is prohibited for the following:

• Coupled approaches below 200 ft AGL.


• Descent below MDA on a non-precision approach.
• Single engine go-around.
