Anti-Icing
All anti-ice systems should be on
when operating in visible moisture if
the indicated Outside Air Tempera-
ture (OAT) is +10°C or below.
Approach
Double-check landing field informa-
tion and estimated arrival gross
weight; check runway requirements,
determine V
REF
, and set airspeed
bugs in accordance with the SOP.
When descending through the transi-
tion altitude, set the altimeters to field
pressure and check for agreement.
The radar altimeter may be bugged to
either the maximum descent altitude
or the decision altitude, or it may be
bugged as desired in VFR operation
for terrain proximity warning.
Emergency Descent
An emergency descent moves the air-
craft rapidly from a high altitude to a
lower altitude; it is most used in con-
junction with a loss of pressurization.
Put on oxygen masks, establish com-
munications, retard throttles to idle,
extend speedbrakes and landing gear,
and roll into a moderate bank while
lowering the nose (initially 25°) below
the horizon using the roll and pitch
control knobs on the autopilot control-
ler. Adjust pitch as necessary to
approach, but not exceed, V
MO
/
M
MO
.
If flying in turbulent air or if struc-
tural integrity is questionable, make
the descent at a lesser and more pru-
dent speed. The PM should set the
transponder to 7700.
When conditions permit, the engine
ignition system should be placed on,
the FASTEN SEAT BELT sign and
NO SMOKING sign illuminated,
oxygen availability to passengers
checked, and ATC contacted for
assistance and instructions. The PM
should monitor the descent progress,
establish the minimum altitude for
terrain avoidance, and complete the
checklists on command.
VFR Traffic Pattern
Traffic pattern altitude for jets nor-
mally is 1,500 ft AGL. In clean con-
figuration, slow to a minimum of
V
REF
+30. The target power setting
is approximately 60% N
1
.
Initiate the Before Landing checklist
no later than the downwind leg entry
point; lower flaps to T.O. & APPR.
The minimum airspeed on down-
wind is V
REF
+20 + wind factor.
Lower the gear opposite the touch-
down zone or about two miles out on
base leg or straight-in final (but not
lower than traffic pattern altitude).
Complete the Before Landing check-
list to Flaps – LANDING. Maintain
V
REF
+20 + wind factor until the
turn is completed on final or descent
is started, if straight-in. Lower flaps
to LAND and maintain V
REF
+10 +
wind factor until transition to V
REF
+ wind factor over threshold. Disen-
gage yaw damper prior to landing.
The angle-of-attack indicator sup-
plements the airspeed indicator dur-
ing all maneuvers; include it in the
instrument crosscheck. On final
approach, use it to confirm the accu-
racy of V
REF
computation.
Approaches
Checklist and
Configuration
For instrument approaches where a
procedure turn is flown, initiate the
Before Landing checklist after turn-
ing outbound from the approach fix.
CAUTION:
When performing
instrument approaches in icing
conditions, and Engine Anti-Ice is
ON, the Bravo AFM requires that
4 KIAS be added to the computed
approach Ref speeds to compensate
for the possibility of added weight
and reduced aerodynamic perfor-
mance caused by residual ice accu-
mulation on unprotected areas of
the aircraft.
