The information contained herein is intended only as an i structional aid. This material does not supersede, nor is it meant to substitute for, any of the manufacturer's maintenance or operating manuals. The material presented has been prepared from the basic design data. All subsequent changes in airplane appearance or system operation will be covered during academic training and subsequent revisions to this manual. Chapter 1 covers the structural makeup of the airplane and gives an overview of the systems; it also contains operating limitations and a pictorial walkaround of the airplane. Appendix B in this manual displays all annunciator and other light indications and should be folded out for reference while reading this manual. GENERAL ‘The King Air E90 is a pressurized all-metal, _at 550 shaft horsepower each. The airplane is low-wing twin-engine turboprop airplane with controlled by conventional ailerons, elevators, retractable landing gear. It is powered by two | and rudder, and is capable of accommodating Pratt and Whitney PTA series engines rated | 6 to 10 people and their baggage. Revision 1—July 1968 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY 11 ‘The £90 airplane is authorized for single pilot operation. The airplane is certificated in accor- dance with FAR Part 23, as a Normal Category Aircraft, and is approved for flight in VFR, IFR, and in known icing conditions when the required ‘equipment is installed and operational. Figure I-1 shows the King Air E90. STRUCTURES GENERAL Most of the E90 structures are fabricated of high- strength aluminum alloy, with steel, glass fiber, and other materials used as needed. The airplane structure consists of fuselage, wings, and em- Figure 1 1 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY FightSafety KING AIR mone. eso PILOT TRAINING MANUAL, pennage.

This compartment is limited to 350 pounds, which includes the weight of the avionics equipment. Nose Compartment Door (Optional on Airplanes SNs LW-49 an Subsequent) ‘The nose compartment door is located on the left side. It has a flush-mounted handle (Figure 1- 5) with a push-to-release button. The door is hinged at the top and opens outward and up. When the door is not secure, an annunciator la- beled ‘‘BAG DOOR OPEN” illuminates. For security of the unattended airplane, the nose compartment door features a key lock.

A typical instrument panel is shown in Figure 1-6. Cockpit Layout (Typical) OcTOBER 1986 pot “ee Various configurations of passenger chairs and couches may be installed. All passenger chairs are placarded “FRONT FACING ONLY” or “*FRONT OR AFT FACING.” Only chairs so. marked may be installed facing aft. All aft- facing chairs and all forward-facing chairs equipped with shoulder harnesses have adjus able headrests. Before takeoff and landing, the headrest should be adjusted as re- quired to provide support for the head and neck when the passenger leans against the seat back. Some passenger chairs can be moved fore and aft. The seat backs are adjustable from upright to reclining. The seat backs of all occupied seats, must be upright for takeoff and landing. If op- tional lateral-tracking passenger seats are in- stalled, they must be outboard (i.e., against the cabin wall) for takeoff and landing. Couches, if installed, are not adjustable. Immediately forward of the rear pressure bulk- head is the aft baggage compartment. Tt has a baggage tiedown web and an optional seat Maximum structural capacity of the aft baggage compartment is 350 pounds with any combination of passengers and/or baggage and/or equipment. The center section includes the cabin door, emer- gency exit, windows, and control locks. Cabin Door The cabin door is located on the left side of the fuselage, aft of the wing. The cabin door is hinged at the bottom, and swings out and down. when opened, as seen in Figure 1-7. A hydrau- lic damper ensures a slow opening. A stairway is built onto the inboard side for en- try and egress. Two of the steps fold flat against OCTOBER 1986 KING AIR monet eso PILOT TRAINING MANUAL, Figure 1-7. Cabin Door the door when it is closed. When the door is fully extended, it is supported by a plastic-encased ca- ble which also serves as a handrail Only one person at a time should be on the door stairway. ‘The handrail is used when closing the door from the inside. The door is closed against an inflat- able rubber seal around the opening. Engine bleed air is used to inflate the door seal. The door-locking mechanism can be operated by either the outside or inside door handle, which FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY 15 rotate simultaneously. There is a release button (Figure 1-8) adjacent to each handle which must be held depressed before the handle can be ro- tated. The handle system necessitates a two-hand operation, thereby ensuring a deliberate action. The release button also incorporates a pressure- sensing diaphragm, so that if there is a pressure differential between the inside and outside, the pressure on the release button must be propor- tionally increased. Figure 1-8. Door Handles No attempt should ever be made to check or un- lock the door in flight. If the CABIN DOOR an- nunciator illuminates in flight, or if the pilot suspects door security, all occupants must re- main seated with seat belts secured. Descent should be initiated as required and the airplane depressurized. Only after the airplane has landed, stopped, and the cabin is depressurized should the door security be checked 1-6 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY FlightSafety Ly KING AIR mopet eso oP PILOT TRAINING MANUAL The door is closed from the inside by pulling up on the handrail until the door reaches the doorframe. The door handle must: be rotated counterclockwise as far as possible, while pull- ing inward on the door. The door should seal and the release button pop out. The handle should be pointing straight down. (See Figure 1-8.) Positive locking may be checked by at- tempting to rotate the handle counterclockwise without depressing the release button. It should not move. There is a placard beneath the folded step which is just below the door handle. The placard (Figure 1-9) shows how to check the locking mechanism. A green stripe, painted on the four latch bolts, should be aligned with the four black pointers, near each corner of the door. Figure 1- . Placard and Inspection Port The door is opened from the outside in the same manner as from the inside: the release button must be depressed and the handle rotated coun- terclockwise. The door is closed from the out- side by lifting it up and pushing it firmly into the closed position, then turning the handle un- til the release button pops out. The outside door handle can be locked with a key for security of the airplane on the ground. Emergency Exit The emergency exit is the third cabin window from the front of the airplane on the right side. Revision 1—July 1988 The release handle is to the right of the window and has a dust cover placarded “EMERGENCY DOOR RELEASE” with a caution, ‘Do not open escape hatch when cabin is pressurized.” Instructions for opening the door are included (Figure 1-10). ‘The door is opened by removing the cover, push- ing a release button with one hand, then pulling, on the handle with the other. (See Figure 1-10.) The door is hinged at the bottom and swings out- ward and downward. There is no exterior han- dle for opening the door. Windows There are six windows in the cockpit. The two windshields are laminated glass and vinyl and contain electrical heating elements. The other windows are composed of clear, stretched, acrylic plastic. The crew storm windows on each side can be opened. ‘The cabin window panes are of the same con- struction as the small cockpit windows and are capable of withstanding the cabin pressure dif- ferential. The panes are sealed into the window ‘openings in the fuselage and form an integral part of the pressure vessel. There are two types ‘of windowpanes available: polarized and shade. Figure 1-10. ‘OCTOBER 1986 FlightSafety KING AIR mopeL eso PILOT TRAINING MANUAL, The polarized window has two dust panes in- board of the cabin window, each composed of a polarized film. The inboard pane may be ro- tated to permit light regulation. Do not look directly at the sun, even through polarized windows, be- cause eye damage could result. ‘When the airplane is to be parked in areas exposed to intensive sun- light, the polarized windows should be rotated to the clear position to prevent deterioration of the polar- ized material. Sufficient ultraviolet protection is provided to prevent fading of the upholstery. The shade window has a single sheet of tinted acrylic plastic which serves as a dust pane. It is mounted inboard of the cabin window and slides along detents on a track. Emergency Exit FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY 1-7 ale Control Locks The flight and engine controls are mechanically locked by a U-shaped clamp and two pins within the cockpit, as seen in Figure 1-11. The pins lock the primary flight controls, and the U-shaped clamp fits around the engine control levers. There is a pin which is inserted through the con- trol column, and another inserted through holes in the rudder pedals. All locks must be installed and removed together to preclude taxiing or fly- ing with the engine control levers released but with the flight controls locked. Before starting engines, remove the locks. Remove the control locks before towing the airplane. If towed with a tug while the rudder lock is in- stalled, serious damage to the steer- ing linkage can result ) @a Figure 1-11.

It provides support for the engine nacelles and the outboard wing assem- ‘The wings include the engine nacelles and main landing gear, flaps, ailerons, and fuel tanks. EMPENNAGE ‘The E90 empennage (Figure 1-13) comprises the dorsal fin, horizontal and vertical stabilizers, ele- vators, rudder, and tail cone. The horizontal sta- bilizer is fixed. A rotating beacon is located on the vertical stabilizer tip. AIRPLANE SYSTEMS GENERAL ‘The following is a brief introduction to the major airplane systems on the King Air E90. Detailed descriptions of these systems are contained within the individual chapters of this training manual. ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS : The airplane electrical system is a 28-VDC (nominal) system which receives power from a 24-volt, 34-ampere-hour nicad battery, two 250- ampere starter-generators connected in parallel, or through an external power receptacle. A battery emergency bus is provided to power certain convenience lights, essential equipment, and other items. These items have power avail- able at all times, regardless of the BATT s' h position DC power is supplied to two inverters which provide 400-hertz, 115-VAC and 400-hertz, 26- VAC power to selected airplane systems. OCTOBER 1986 KING AIR monet Eso PILOT TRAINING MANUAL Figure 1-13. Empennage LIGHTING Cockpit and instrument light controls are located on the overhead light control panel. All cabin and exterior light controls are located on the pilot’s subpanel. A threshold light and switch are provided forward of the cabin door at floor level. The switch turns on the light, but when the cabin door is closed, the light extinguishes automatically. MASTER WARNING SYSTEM ‘The flight crew receives automatic indication of system operation through annunciators located in the center glareshield. The annunciators are green, amber, and red, and denote system con- ditions or faults. (See Appendix B.) FUEL SYSTEM ‘The E90 fuel system consists of two separate wing fuel systems connected by a crossfeed line. The systems are controlled from the fuel con- trol panel located on the pilot's side panel. Fuel for each wing fuel system is stored in 6 bladder tanks and one integral wet wing tank. Total airplane usable fuel is 474 gallons. FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY 1-9 In normal operation, engine-
