NOTE
*Speed performance and range are shown for an airplane
equipped with the standard wheel and brake fairings.
These fairings increase the speeds approximately 3 knots
over an airplane without the fairings. Heavy duty wheels,
tires and brakes are available and when installed with the
appropriate wheel and brake fairings, result in no
significant change in performance.
The above performance figures are based on the indicated weights,
standard atmospheric conditions, level, hard-surfaced dry runways and
no wind. They are calculated values derived from flight tests conducted
by Cessna Aircraft Company under carefully documented conditions
and will vary with individual airplanes and numerous factors affecting
flight performance.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE TERMINOLOGY
Reference
Datum

Reference Datum is an imaginary vertical plane from
which all horizontal distances are measured for
balance purposes.

Station

Station is a location along the airplane fuselage given
in terms of the distance from the reference datum.

Arm

Arm is the horizontal distance from the reference
datum to the center of gravity (C.G.) of an item.

Moment

Moment is the product of the weight of an item
multiplied by its arm. (Moment divided by the constant
1000 is used in this POH to simplify balance
calculations by reducing the number of digits.)

Center of
Gravity (C.G.)

Center of Gravity is the point at which an airplane, or
equipment, would balance if suspended. Its distance
from the reference datum is found by dividing the total
moment by the total weight of the airplane.

C.G. Arm

Center of Gravity Arm is the arm obtained by adding
the airplane's individual moments and dividing the sum
by the total weight.

C.G. Limits

Center of Gravity Limits are the extreme center of
gravity locations within which the airplane must be
operated at a given weight.

Standard
Empty Weight

Standard Empty Weight is the weight of a standard
airplane, including unusable fuel, full operating fluids
and full engine oil.

SECTION 2
OPERATING LIMITATIONS

INTRODUCTION
Section 2 includes operating limitations, instrument markings, and
basic placards necessary for the safe operation of the airplane, its
engine, standard systems and standard equipment. The limitations
included in this section and in Section 9 have been approved by the
Federal Aviation Administration. Observance of these operating
limitations is required by Federal Aviation Regulations.
NOTE

•

Refer to Supplements, Section 9 of this Pilot's Operating
Handbook for amended operating limitations, operating
procedures, performance data and other necessary
information for airplanes equipped with specific options.

•

The airspeeds listed in Figure 2-1, Airspeed Limitations,
and Figure 2-2, Airspeed Indicator Markings, are based
on Airspeed Calibration data shown in Section 5 with the
normal static source. If the alternate static source is
being used, ample margins should be observed to allow
for the airspeed calibration variations between the
normal and alternate static sources as shown in Section
5.

The Cessna Model No. T206H is certificated under FAA Type
Certificate No. A4CE.

OPERATING LIMITATIONS

G1000 LIMITATIONS
The current Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide (CRG) Part
Number and System Software Version that must be available to the
pilot during flight are displayed on the MFD AUX group, SYSTEM
STATUS page.
GPS based IFR enroute, oceanic and terminal navigation is prohibited
unless the pilot verifies the currency of the database or verifies each
selected waypoint for accuracy by reference to current approved data.
RNAV/GPS instrument approaches must be accomplished in
accordance with approved instrument approach procedures that are
retrieved from the G1000 navigation database. The G1000 database
must incorporate the current update cycle.
Use of the NAVIGATION MAP page for pilotage navigation is
prohibited. The Navigation Map is intended only to enhance situational
awareness. Navigation is to be conducted using only current charts,
data and authorized navigation facilities.
Use of the TRAFFIC MAP to maneuver the airplane to avoid traffic is
prohibited. The Traffic Information System (TIS) is intended for advisory
use only. TIS is intended only to help the pilot to visually locate traffic. It
is the responsibility of the pilot to see and maneuver to avoid traffic.
Use of the TERRAIN PROXIMITY information for primary terrain
avoidance is prohibited. The Terrain Proximity map is intended only to
enhance situational awareness. It is the pilot’s responsibility to provide
terrain clearance at all times.
Navigation using the G1000 is not authorized north of 70° North latitude
or south of 70° South latitude due to unsuitability of the magnetic fields
near the Earth's poles. In addition, operations are not authorized in the
following two regions:
1. North of 65° North latitude between longitude 75° W and 120° W
(Northern Canada).
2. South of 55° South latitude between longitude 120° E and 165° E
(region south of Australia and New Zealand).

G1000 LIMITATIONS (Continued)
The COM 1/2 (split COM) function of the Audio Panel is not approved
for use. During COM 1/2 operation, transmission by one crew member
inhibits reception by the other crew member.
The fuel quantity, fuel used and fuel remaining functions of the G1000
are supplemental information only and must be verified by the pilot.

GPS - WAAS (Serials T20608682 and T20608705 thru
T20608800 not incorporating SB08-34-01)
Use of the Garmin G1000 system for GPS or WAAS navigation under
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) requires that:
1. The airplane must be equipped with an approved and operational
alternate means of navigation appropriate to the route being
flown (NAV receiver, DME or ADF).
2. For flight planning purposes, if an alternate airport is required, it
must have an approved instrument approach procedure, other
than GPS or RNAV, that is anticipated to be operational and
available at the estimated time of arrival. All equipment required
for this procedure must be installed and operational.
3. For procedures requiring a prediction of GPS Receiver
Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) capability for TSOC129a (non-WAAS) equipment (e.g. oceanic operations, U.S.
RNAV routes, European BRNAV and PRNAV, etc.), the Garmin
WAAS Fault Detection/Exclusion Prediction program (006A0154-01 or later approved version) should be used to confirm
the availability of RAIM for the intended route and time of flight.
Generic prediction tools do not provide an accurate indication of
RAIM availability for the Garmin G1000 system.
4. When flight planning an LNAV/VNAV or LPV approach, the
Garmin WAAS Fault Detection/Exclusion Prediction program
(006-A0154-01 or later approved version) should be used in
addition to any NOTAMs issued from the approach.

SECTION 3
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

INTRODUCTION
Section 3 provides checklist and amplified procedures for coping with
emergencies that may occur. Emergencies caused by airplane or
engine malfunctions are extremely rare if proper preflight inspections
and maintenance are practiced. Enroute weather emergencies can be
minimized or eliminated by careful flight planning and good judgment
when unexpected weather is encountered. However, should an
emergency arise, the basic guidelines described in this section should
be considered and applied as necessary to correct the problem. In any
emergency situation, the most important task is continued control of the
airplane and maneuver to execute a successful landing.
Emergency procedures associated with optional or supplemental
equipment are found in Section 9, Supplements.

rapidly move the control forward.
NOTE

•
•

7.

8.
9.

10.

Cycling the RPM flexes the propeller blades and high
RPM increases centrifugal force, causing ice to shed
more rapidly.
If the amber PROP HEAT annunciator comes ON, cycle
the PROP HEAT Switch OFF then ON. If it comes on
again, place the PROP HEAT Switch to OFF and
continue using the RPM cycling technique to minimize
ice build up on the propeller blades. Have propeller heat
system inspected by qualified personnel before next
flight.
Watch for signs of induction air filter icing. A loss of manifold
pressure could be caused by ice blocking the air intake filter.
Adjust the throttle as necessary to hold manifold pressure.
Adjust mixture as necessary for any change in power settings.
Plan a landing at the nearest airport. With an extremely rapid ice
build-up, select a suitable off airport landing site.
With an ice accumulation of 0.25 inch or more on the wing
leading edges, be prepared for significantly higher power
requirements, higher approach and stall speeds, and a longer
landing roll.
Leave wing flaps retracted. With a severe ice build-up on the
horizontal tail, the change in wing wake airflow direction caused
by wing flap extension could result in a loss of elevator
effectiveness.

AMPLIFIED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
The following Amplified Emergency Procedures provide additional
information beyond that in the Emergency Procedures Checklists
portion of this section. These procedures also include information not
readily adaptable to a checklist format, and material to which a pilot
could not be expected to refer in resolution of a specific emergency.
This information should be reviewed in detail prior to flying the airplane,
as well as reviewed on a regular basis to keep pilot’s knowledge of
procedures fresh.

ENGINE FAILURE
If an engine failure occurs during the takeoff roll, stop the airplane on
the remaining runway. Those extra items on the checklist will provide
added safety after a failure of this type.
If an engine failure occurs immediately after takeoff, in most cases, the
landing should be planned straight ahead with only small changes in
direction to avoid obstructions. Altitude and airspeed are seldom
sufficient to execute the 180° gliding turn necessary to return to the
runway. The checklist procedures assume that adequate time exists to
secure the fuel and ignition systems prior to touchdown.
After an engine failure in flight, the most important task is to continue
flying the airplane. The best glide speed, as shown in Figure 3-1,
should be established as quickly as possible. While gliding toward a
suitable landing area, an effort should be made to identify the cause of
the failure. If time permits, an engine restart should be attempted as
shown in the checklist. If the engine cannot be restarted, a forced
landing without power must be completed.

FORCED LANDINGS
If all attempts to restart the engine fail and a forced landing is imminent,
select a suitable field and prepare for the landing as discussed under
the Emergency Landing Without Engine Power checklist. Transmit
Mayday message on 121.5 MHz giving location, intentions and squawk
7700.
Before attempting an off airport landing with engine power available,
one should fly over the landing area at a safe, but low altitude, to
inspect the terrain for obstructions and surface conditions, proceeding
as discussed in the Precautionary Landing With Engine Power
checklist.
Prepare for ditching by securing or jettisoning heavy objects located in
the baggage area and collect folded coats for protection of occupants'
face at touchdown. Transmit Mayday messages on 121.5 MHz giving
location, intentions and squawk 7700. Avoid a landing flare because of
the difficulty in judging height over a water surface. The checklist
assumes the availability of power to make a precautionary water
landing. If power is not available, use of the airspeeds noted with
minimum flap extension will provide a more favorable attitude for a
power off ditching.
In a forced landing situation, do not turn off the MASTER switch,
AVIONICS switch or STBY BATT switch until a landing is assured.
Premature deactivation of the switches will disable all airplane electrical
systems.
Before completing a forced landing, especially in remote and
mountainous areas, activate the ELT by setting the cockpit-mounted
switch to the ON position. For complete information on ELT operation,
refer to Section 9, Supplements.

LANDING WITHOUT ELEVATOR CONTROL
Trim for horizontal flight with an airspeed of approximately 90 KIAS by
using throttle and elevator trim controls. Then do not change the
elevator trim control setting; control the glide angle by adjusting
power.
During the landing flare (round-out), the nose will come down when
power is reduced and the airplane may touch down on the nosewheel
before the main wheels. When in the flare, the elevator trim control
should be adjusted toward the full nose up position and the power
adjusted at the same time so that the airplane will rotate to a horizontal
attitude for touchdown. Close the throttle at touchdown.

FIRES
Improper starting procedures involving the excessive use of auxiliary
fuel pump operation can cause engine flooding and subsequent
collection of fuel on the parking ramp as the excess fuel drains
overboard from the intake manifolds. This is sometimes experienced in
difficult starts in cold weather where engine preheat service is not
available. If this occurs, the airplane should be pushed away from the
fuel puddle before another engine start is attempted. Otherwise, there
is a possibility of raw fuel accumulations in the exhaust system igniting
during an engine start, causing a long flame from the tailpipe, and
possibly igniting the collected fuel on the pavement. If a fire occurs,
proceed according to the checklist.
Although engine fires are extremely rare in flight, if a fire is
encountered, the steps of the appropriate checklist should be followed.
After completion of the checklist procedure, execute a forced landing.
Do not attempt to restart the engine.
The first sign of an electrical fire is usually the smell of burning
insulation. The checklist procedure should result in the elimination of
the fire.

EMERGENCY OPERATION IN CLOUDS
If the engine-driven vacuum pump fails in flight, the standby attitude
indicator will not be accurate. The pilot must then rely on the attitude
and heading information (from the AHRS) shown on the PFD
indicators. With valid HDG or GPS/NAV inputs, autopilot operation will
not be affected.
If the AHRS unit fails in flight (red X’s shown through the PFD attitude
and heading indicators), the pilot must rely on the standby attitude
indicator and non-stabilized magnetic compass for attitude and heading
information.
The autopilot will not operate if the AHRS unit fails. The pilot must
manually fly the airplane without AHRS input. Refer to Section 7,
Airplane and Systems Description, for additional details on autopilot
operations.
The following instructions assume that the pilot is not very proficient at
instrument flying and is flying the airplane without the autopilot
engaged.

EXECUTING A 180° TURN IN CLOUDS (AHRS FAILED)
Upon inadvertently entering the clouds, an immediate turn to reverse
course and return to VFR conditions should be made as follows:
AHRS FAILURE
1. Note the non-stabilized magnetic compass heading.
2. Set rudder trim to the neutral position.
3. Using the standby attitude indicator, initiate a 15° bank left turn.
Keep feet off rudder pedals. Maintain altitude and 15° bank
angle. Continue the turn for 60 seconds, then roll back to level
flight.
4. When the compass card becomes sufficiently stable, check the
accuracy of the turn by verifying that the compass heading
approximates the reciprocal of the original heading.
5. If necessary, adjust the heading by keeping the wings level and
using the rudder to make skidding turns (the compass will read
more accurately) to complete the course reversal.
6. Maintain altitude and airspeed by cautious application of
elevator control. Keep the roll pointer and index aligned and
steer only with rudder.

EMERGENCY OPERATION IN CLOUDS (Continued)
EMERGENCY DESCENT THROUGH CLOUDS (AHRS
FAILED)
When returning to VFR flight after a 180° turn is not practical, a descent
through the clouds to VFR conditions below may be appropriate. If
possible, obtain an ATC clearance for an emergency descent through
the clouds.
AHRS FAILURE
Choose an easterly or westerly heading to minimize non-stabilized
magnetic compass card sensitivity. Occasionally check the compass
heading and make minor corrections to hold an approximate course.
The autopilot will not operate if the AHRS unit fails. The pilot must
manually fly the airplane without AHRS input.
Before descending into the clouds, prepare for a stabilized descent as
follows:
1. Apply full rich mixture.
2. Set rudder trim to neutral position.
3. Turn pitot heat on.
4. Set power for a 500 to 800 feet per minute rate-of-descent.
5. Set the elevator trim for a stabilized descent at 100 KIAS.
6. Use the standby attitude indicator roll pointer and index to keep
wings level.
7. Check trend of compass card movement and make cautious
corrections with rudder to stop the turn.
8. Upon breaking out of clouds, resume normal cruising flight.

RECOVERY FROM SPIRAL DIVE IN THE CLOUDS (AHRS
FAILED)
AHRS FAILURE
If a spiral is entered while in the clouds, continue as follows:
1. Retard throttle to idle position.
2. Remove feet from rudder pedals.
3. Stop turn by carefully leveling the wings using aileron control to
align the roll index and roll pointer of the standby attitude
indicator.
4. Cautiously apply elevator back pressure to slowly reduce the
airspeed to 100 KIAS.
5. Adjust the elevator trim control to maintain an 100 KIAS glide.
6. Set rudder trim to neutral position.
7. Use aileron control to maintain wings level (keep roll pointer and
index aligned) and constant heading.
8. Resume EMERGENCY DESCENT THROUGH THE CLOUDS
procedure.
9. Upon breaking out of clouds, resume normal cruising flight.

INADVERTENT FLIGHT INTO ICING CONDITIONS
Flight into icing conditions is prohibited and extremely dangerous. An
inadvertent encounter with these conditions can be resolved using the
checklist procedures. The best action is to turn back or change altitude
to escape icing conditions. Set the PITOT HEAT and PROP HEAT
switches to the ON position until safely out of icing conditions.
During these encounters, an unexplained loss of manifold pressure
could be caused by ice blocking the air intake filter or in extremely rare
instances ice completely blocking the fuel injection air reference tubes.
In either case, the throttle should be positioned to hold manifold
pressure (in some instances, the throttle may need to be retarded for
maximum power). Adjust mixture as necessary for any change in
power settings.

STATIC SOURCE BLOCKED
If erroneous readings of the static source instruments (airspeed,
altimeter and vertical speed) are suspected, the alternate static source
air valve (ALT STATIC AIR) should be pulled ON, thereby supplying
static pressure to these instruments from the cabin.
When the ALT STATIC AIR valve is ON, the maximum airspeed
variation from normal static source operation is 9 knots and the
maximum altimeter variation is 70 feet with all windows closed. Refer to
Section 5, Figure 5-1 (Sheet 2), Airspeed Calibration, and Figure 5-2,
Altimeter Correction tables, for Alternate Static Source for additional
details.

SPINS
Intentional spins are prohibited in this airplane, but should an
inadvertent spin occur, the following recovery procedure should be
used:
1. RETARD THROTTLE TO IDLE POSITION.
2. PLACE AILERONS IN NEUTRAL POSITION.
3. APPLY AND HOLD FULL RUDDER OPPOSITE TO THE
DIRECTION OF ROTATION.
4. JUST AFTER THE RUDDER REACHES THE STOP, MOVE
THE CONTROL WHEEL BRISKLY FORWARD FAR ENOUGH
TO BREAK THE STALL. Full down elevator may be required at
aft center of gravity loadings to assure optimum recoveries.
5. HOLD THESE CONTROL INPUTS UNTIL ROTATION STOPS.
Premature relaxation of the control inputs may extend the
recovery.
6. AS ROTATION STOPS, NEUTRALIZE RUDDER, AND MAKE A
SMOOTH RECOVERY FROM THE RESULTING DIVE.
NOTE
If the rate of the spin makes determining the direction of
rotation difficult, the magenta turn rate indicator at the top of
the HSI compass card will show the rate and direction of
the turn. The HSI compass card will rotate in the opposite
direction. Hold opposite rudder to the turn vector direction.

ROUGH ENGINE OPERATION OR LOSS OF POWER
SPARK PLUG FOULING
A slight engine roughness in flight may be caused by one or more spark
plugs becoming fouled by carbon or lead deposits. This may be verified
by turning the MAGNETOS switch momentarily from BOTH to either L
or R position. An obvious power loss in single magneto operation is
evidence of spark plug or magneto trouble. Since spark plugs are the
more likely cause, lean the mixture to the recommended lean setting for
cruising flight. If the problem does not clear up in several minutes,
determine if a richer mixture setting will produce smoother operation. If
not, proceed to the nearest airport for repairs using the BOTH position
of the MAGNETOS switch unless extreme roughness makes the use of
a single MAGNETO position necessary.

MAGNETO MALFUNCTION
Sudden engine roughness or misfiring is usually a sign of a magneto
problem. Changing the MAGNETOS switch from BOTH to the L and R
switch positions will identify which magneto is malfunctioning. Select
different power settings and enrichen the mixture to determine if
continued operation on BOTH magnetos is possible. If not, change to
the good magneto and continue to the nearest airport for repairs.

ENGINE-DRIVEN FUEL PUMP FAILURE
Failure of the engine-driven fuel pump will be shown by a sudden
reduction in the fuel flow indication (FFLOW GPH) immediately before
a loss of power while operating from a fuel tank containing adequate
fuel.
If the engine-driven fuel pump fails, immediately set the FUEL PUMP
switch to the ON position to restore the engine power. The flight should
be terminated as soon as practical and the engine-driven fuel pump
repaired.

EXCESSIVE FUEL VAPOR
Fuel vapor in the fuel injection system is most likely to occur on the
ground, typically during prolonged taxi operations, when operating at
higher altitudes and/or in unusually warm temperatures.
Excessive fuel vapor accumulation is shown by fuel flow indicator
(FFLOW GPH) fluctuations greater than 1 gal./hr. This condition, with
leaner mixtures or with larger fluctuations, can result in power surges,
and if not corrected, may cause power loss.
To slow vapor formation and stabilize fuel flow on the ground or in the
air, set the FUEL PUMP switch to the ON position and adjust the
mixture as required for smooth engine operation. If vapor symptoms
continue, select the opposite fuel tank. When fuel flow stabilizes, set
the FUEL PUMP switch to the OFF position and adjust the mixture as
desired.

LOW OIL PRESSURE
If the low oil pressure annunciator (OIL PRESS) comes on, check the
oil pressure indicator (OIL PRES on ENGINE page or OIL PSI on
SYSTEM page) to confirm low oil pressure condition. If oil pressure and
oil temperature (OIL TEMP on ENGINE page or OIL °F on SYSTEM
page) remain normal, it is possible that the oil pressure sending unit or
relief valve is malfunctioning. Land at the nearest airport to determine
the source of the problem.
If a total loss of oil pressure and a rise in oil temperature occur at about
the same time, it could mean that the engine is about to fail. Reduce
power immediately and select a field suitable for a forced landing. Use
only the minimum power necessary to reach the landing site.

ROUGH ENGINE OPERATION OR LOSS OF POWER
(Continued)

TURBOCHARGER FAILURE
The turbocharger system's purpose is to increase manifold pressure
and thus engine power to a level higher than can be obtained without it.
A failure of the system will cause either an overboost condition or some
degree of power loss. An overboost can be determined on the manifold
pressure indicator and can be controlled by a throttle reduction.
If the turbocharger failure results in power loss, it may be further
complicated by an overly rich mixture. This rich mixture condition may
be so severe as to cause a total power failure. Leaning the mixture may
restore partial power. Partial or total power loss may also be caused by
an exhaust leak. A landing should be made as soon as practical for
either an overboost or partial/total power loss.

MALFUNCTIONS

SUPPLY

SYSTEM

Malfunctions in the electrical power supply system can be detected
through regular monitoring of the main battery ammeter (M BATT
AMPS) and the main electrical bus voltmeter (M BUS VOLTS);
however, the cause of these malfunctions is usually difficult to
determine. A broken alternator drive belt, too much wear on the
alternator brushes, or an error in wiring is most likely the cause of
alternator failures, although other factors could cause the problem. A
defective Alternator Control Unit (ACU) can also cause malfunctions.
Problems of this nature constitute an electrical emergency and should
be dealt with immediately. Electrical power malfunctions usually fall into
two categories: excessive rate of charge and insufficient rate of charge.
The following paragraphs describe the recommended remedy for each
situation.

EXCESSIVE RATE OF CHARGE
After engine starting and heavy electrical usage at low engine speeds
(such as extended taxiing), the battery condition will be low enough to
accept above normal charging during the initial part of a flight.
However, after thirty minutes of cruising flight, the main battery
ammeter (M BATT AMPS) should be indicating less than 5 amps of
charging (+) current. If the charging current remains above this value
on a long flight, the battery electrolyte could overheat and evaporate.
Electronic components in the electrical system can be adversely
affected by higher than normal voltage. The ACU includes an
overvoltage sensor circuit which will automatically disconnect the
alternator if the charge voltage increases to more than approximately
31.75 volts. If the overvoltage sensor circuit does not operate correctly,
as shown by voltage more than 31.75 volts on the main battery bus
voltmeter, the MASTER switch ALT section should be set to the OFF
position. Unnecessary electrical equipment should be de-energized
and the flight terminated as soon as practical.

INSUFFICIENT RATE OF CHARGE
When the overvoltage sensor circuit, or other fault, opens the alternator
(ALT FIELD) circuit breaker and de-energizes the alternator, a
discharge (-) current will be shown on the main battery ammeter and
the low voltage annunciator (LOW VOLTS) will come on. The ACU can
de-energize the alternator due to minor disturbances in the electrical
system, resulting in a nuisance opening of the ALT FIELD circuit
breaker. If this happens, an attempt should be made to energize the
alternator system.
To energize the alternator system
1. MASTER Switch (ALT Only) - OFF
2. ALT FIELD Circuit Breaker - CHECK IN
3. MASTER Switch (ALT Only) - ON
If the problem was a minor ACU disturbance in the electrical system,
normal main battery charging will start. A charge (+) current will be
shown on the main battery ammeter and the LOW VOLTS annunciator
will go off.
If the LOW VOLTS annunciator comes on again, there is an alternator
system problem. Do not repeat steps to energize the alternator system.
The electrical load on the battery must be minimized (by de-energizing
nonessential electrical equipment and avionics) because the battery
can supply the electrical system for only a short time. Reduce electrical
load as soon as possible to extend the life of the battery for landing.
Land as soon as practical.

INSUFFICIENT RATE OF CHARGE (Continued)
Main battery life can be extended by setting the MASTER switch (ALT
and BAT) to OFF and operating the equipment on the ESS BUS from
the standby battery. The standby battery is only capable of providing
power for systems on the essential bus and cannot provide power for
transponder (XPDR) operation. Main battery life should be extended,
when practical, for possible later operation of the wing flaps and use of
the landing light (at night).
NOTE
The LOW VOLTS annunciator can come on when the
engine is operated at low RPM with a high electrical load.
The LOW VOLTS annunciator will usually go off when the
engine is operated at higher RPM for greater alternator
system output. Make sure that the M BATT AMPS
indication shows positive (+) current at the higher RPM.

(CO)

LEVEL

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless product of an
internal combustion engine and is always present in exhaust fumes.
Even minute quantities of carbon monoxide breathed over a long
period of time may lead to dire consequences. The symptoms of
carbon monoxide poisoning are difficult to detect by the person affected
and may include blurred thinking, a feeling of uneasiness, dizziness,
headache, and loss of consciousness.
The cabin heater system operates by allowing ambient air to flow
through an exhaust shroud where it is heated before being ducted into
the cabin. If an exhaust leak, caused by a crack in the exhaust pipe,
occurs in the area surrounded by this shroud it would allow exhaust
fumes to mix with the heated ambient air being ducted into the cabin.
Therefore, if anyone in the cabin smells exhaust fumes, experiences
any of the symptoms mentioned above, or the CO LVL HIGH warning
annunciation comes on when using the cabin heater, immediately turn
off the cabin heater and preform the emergency items for HIGH
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) LEVEL.
When the CO detection system senses a CO level of 50 parts per
million (PPM) by volume or greater, the alarm turns on a flashing
warning annunciation CO LVL HIGH in the annunciation window on the
PFD with a continuous tone until the PFD softkey below WARNING is
pushed. It then remains on steady until the CO level drops below 50
PPM and automatically resets the alarm.

OTHER EMERGENCIES
CARGO DOOR EMERGENCY EXIT
If it is necessary to use the cargo doors as an emergency exit and the
wing flaps are not extended, open the doors and exit. If the wing flaps
are extended, open the doors in accordance with the instructions
shown on the red placard which is mounted on the forward cargo door.
The forward door must be opened far enough to allow access to the aft

push the aft door full open. The placard instructions may be found in
Section 2.

WINDSHIELD DAMAGE
If a bird strike or other incident should damage the windshield in flight to
the point of creating an opening, a significant loss in performance may
be expected. This loss may be minimized in some cases (depending on
amount of damage, altitude, etc.) by opening the side windows while
the airplane is maneuvered for a landing at the nearest airport. If
airplane performance or other adverse conditions prevent landing at an
airport, prepare for an off airport landing in accordance with the
Precautionary Landing With Engine Power or Ditching checklists.

PREFLIGHT INSPECTION

NOTE
Visually check airplane for general condition during walkaround inspection. Airplane should be parked in a normal
ground attitude (refer to Figure 1-1) to make sure that fuel
drain valves allow for accurate sampling. Use of the
refueling steps and assist handles will simplify access to
the upper wing surfaces for visual checks and refueling
o p e r a t i o n s . I n c o l d w e a t h e r, r e m o v e e v e n s m a l l
accumulations of frost, ice or snow from wing, tail and
control surfaces. Also, make sure that control surfaces
contain no internal accumulations of ice or debris. Prior to
flight, check that pitot heater is warm to touch within 30
seconds with battery and pitot heat switches on. If a night
flight is planned, check operation of all lights, and make
sure a flashlight is available.

PREFLIGHT INSPECTION
The preflight inspection, described in Figure 4-1 and adjacent checklist,
is required prior to each flight. If the airplane has been in extended
storage, has had recent major maintenance, or has been operated from
rough runways, a more extensive exterior inspection is recommended.
Before every flight, check the condition of main and nose landing gear
tires. Keep tires inflated to the pressure specified in Section 8, Airplane
Handling, Service And Maintenance. Examine tire sidewalls for
patterns of shallow cracks called weather checks. These cracks are
evidence of tire deterioration caused by age, improper storage, or
prolonged exposure to weather. Check the tread of the tire for depth,
wear, and cuts. Replace the tire if fibers are visible.
After major maintenance has been performed, the flight and trim tab
controls should be double checked for free and correct movement and
security. The security of all inspection plates on the airplane should be
checked following periodic inspections. If the airplane has been waxed
or polished, check the external static pressure source hole for
stoppage.
If the airplane has been kept in a crowded hangar, it should be checked
for dents and scratches on wings, fuselage, and tail surfaces, damage
to navigation, strobe lights, and avionics antennas. Check for damage
to the nosewheel steering system, the result of exceeding nosewheel
turning limits while towing.

PREFLIGHT INSPECTION (Continued)
Outside storage for long periods may result in dust and dirt
accumulation on the induction air filter, obstructions in airspeed system
lines, water contaminants in fuel tanks, and insect/bird/rodent nests in
any opening. If any water is detected in the fuel system, the fuel tank
sump quick drain valves, fuel return line quick drain valve, and fuel
strainer quick drain valve should all be thoroughly drained again. The
wings should then be gently rocked and the tail lowered to the ground
to move any further contaminants to the sampling points. Repeated
samples should then be taken at all quick drain points until all
contamination has been removed. If, after repeated sampling, evidence
of contamination still exists, the fuel tanks should be completely drained
and the fuel system cleaned.
If the airplane has been stored outside in windy or gusty areas, or tied
down adjacent to taxiing airplanes, special attention should be paid to
control surface stops, hinges, and brackets to detect the presence of
potential wind damage.
If the airplane has been operated from muddy fields or in snow or slush,
check the main and nose gear wheel fairings for obstructions and
cleanliness. Operation from a gravel or cinder field will require extra
attention to propeller tips and abrasion on leading edges of the
horizontal tail. Stone damage to the propeller can seriously reduce the
fatigue life of the blades.
Airplanes that are operated from rough fields, especially at high
altitudes, are subjected to abnormal landing gear abuse. Frequently
check all components of the landing gear, shock strut, tires, and
brakes. If the shock strut is insufficiently extended, undue landing and
taxi loads will be subjected to the airplane structure.
To prevent loss of fuel in flight, make sure the fuel tank filler caps are
tightly sealed after any fuel system check or servicing. Fuel system
vents should also be inspected for obstructions, ice or water, especially
after exposure to cold, wet weather.
Prior to flight, verify there is an adequate oxygen supply for the trip
intended, by noting the oxygen pressure gage reading, and referring to
Section 7, Figure 7-10, Oxygen Duration Chart. Also check that the
face masks and hoses are readily accessible and in good working
condition.

SECTION 4
NORMAL PROCEDURES

STARTING ENGINE
In cooler weather, the engine compartment temperature drops off
rapidly following engine shutdown and the injector nozzle lines remain
nearly full of fuel.
In warmer weather, engine compartment temperatures may increase
rapidly following engine shutdown, and fuel in the lines will vaporize
and escape into the intake manifold. Hot weather starting procedures
depend considerably on how soon the next engine start is attempted.
Within the first 20 to 30 minutes after shutdown, the fuel manifold is
adequately primed and the empty injector nozzle lines will fill before the
engine dies. However, after approximately 30 minutes, the vaporized
fuel in the manifold will have nearly dissipated and some slight priming
could be required to refill the nozzle lines and keep the engine running
after the initial start. Starting a hot engine is facilitated by advancing the
mixture control promptly to 1/3 open when the engine starts, and then
smoothly to full rich as power develops.
If the engine does not continue to run, set the FUEL PUMP switch to
the ON position temporarily and adjust the throttle and/or mixture as
necessary to keep the engine running. In the event of over priming or
flooding, set the FUEL PUMP switch to OFF, open the throttle from 1/2
to full open, and continue cranking with the mixture in the idle CUTOFF
position (pull full out). When the engine fires, smoothly advance the
mixture control to full rich and retard the throttle to desired idle speed.
If the engine is under primed (most likely in cold weather with a cold
engine), it will not start at all, and additional priming will be necessary.
After starting, if the oil pressure gage does not begin to show pressure
within 30 seconds in warmer temperatures and approximately one
minute in very cold weather, stop the engine and find the cause before
continued operation. Lack of oil pressure can cause serious engine
damage.

RECOMMENDED STARTER DUTY CYCLE
Operate the starter motor for 10 seconds followed by a 20 second cool
down period. This cycle can be repeated two additional times, followed
by a ten minute cool down period before resuming cranking. After cool
down, operate the starter motor again, three cycles of 10 seconds
followed by 20 seconds of cool down. If the engine still does not start,
try to find the cause.

LEANING FOR GROUND OPERATIONS
For all ground operations, after starting the engine and when the
engine is running smoothly:
1. Set the throttle control to 1200 RPM.
2. Lean the mixture for maximum RPM.
3. Set the throttle control to an RPM appropriate for ground

TAXIING
When taxiing, it is important that speed and use of brakes be held to a
minimum and that all controls be utilized (refer to Figure 4-2, Taxiing
Diagram) to maintain directional control and balance.
Taxiing over loose gravel or cinders should be done at low engine
speed to avoid abrasion and stone damage to the propeller tips.
NOTE
The LOW VOLTS annunciator may come on when the
engine is operated at low RPM with a high load on the
electrical system. If this is the case, the LOW VOLTS
annunciator will go off when the engine is run at higher
RPM to provide greater alternator system output. Verify that
the M BATT AMPS indication shows positive (charging)

NORMAL PROCEDURES

BEFORE TAKEOFF
WARM UP
If the engine idles (approximately 650 RPM) and accelerates smoothly,
the engine is warm enough for takeoff. Takeoff with turbocharged
engines should not be started if indicated lubricating oil pressure, due
to cold temperature, is above maximum. Excessive oil pressure can
cause the turbocharger control system to exceed or overboost
allowable manifold pressure and result in engine damage. Since the
engine is closely cowled for efficient in-flight engine cooling, the cowl
flaps should be open and the airplane pointed into the wind to avoid
overheating during prolonged engine operation on the ground. Long
periods of idling may cause fouled spark plugs.

MAGNETO CHECK
The magneto check must be made at 1800 RPM. Turn the
MAGNETOS switch from the BOTH position to the R position. Note the
new RPM, then turn the MAGNETOS switch back to the BOTH position
to clear the spark plugs. Turn the MAGNETOS switch to the L position,
note the new RPM, then turn the switch back to the BOTH position.
RPM decrease should not be more than 175 RPM on either magneto or
be greater than 50 RPM differential between magnetos. If there is a
doubt concerning operation of the ignition system, RPM checks at
higher engine speeds will usually confirm whether a deficiency exists.
No RPM drop may indicate a faulty ground to one magneto or magneto
timing set in advance of the angle specified.

ALTERNATOR CHECK
Make sure that both the alternator and alternator control unit are
operating properly before night or instrument flight, or flights where
electrical power is essential. Check the electrical system during the
MAGNETO check (1800 RPM) by setting all electrical equipment
required for the flight to the ON position. When the alternator and
alternator control unit are both operating properly, the ammeters will
show zero or positive current (amps), the voltmeters should show
between 27 to 29 volts, and no electrical system annunciations will
appear. Reduce the electrical load before reducing engine speed so the
battery will not discharge while the engine is at idle.

BEFORE TAKEOFF (Continued)
ELEVATOR TRIM
The elevator trim tab is in the takeoff position when the trim pointer is
aligned with the index mark on the pedestal cover. Adjust the trim
wheel during flight as necessary to make control wheel forces more
neutral.

LANDING LIGHTS
It is recommended that only the taxi light be used to enhance the
visibility of the airplane in the traffic pattern or enroute. This will extend
the service life of the landing light.

TAKEOFF
POWER CHECK
It is important to check full throttle engine operation early in the takeoff
roll. Any sign of rough engine operation or sluggish engine acceleration
is good cause for discontinuing the takeoff. If this occurs, you are
justified in making a thorough full throttle static run-up before another
takeoff is attempted. The engine should run smoothly and turn
approximately 2450 - 2500 RPM.
Full throttle run-ups over loose gravel are especially harmful to
propeller tips. When takeoffs must be made over a gravel surface,
advance the throttle slowly. This allows the airplane to start rolling
before high RPM is developed, and the gravel will be blown behind the
propeller rather than pulled into it.
On the first flight of the day when the throttle is advanced for takeoff,
manifold pressure will normally exceed 39 in.hg. and fuel flows will
exceed 34 GPH if the throttle is opened fully. On any takeoff, the
manifold pressure should be monitored and the throttle set to provide
39 in.hg.; then, for maximum engine power, the mixture should be
adjusted as required, during the initial takeoff roll to 34 GPH fuel flow.

TAKEOFF (Continued)
POWER CHECK (Continued)
After full throttle is applied, adjust the throttle friction lock clockwise to
prevent the throttle from moving back from a maximum power position.
Similar friction lock adjustments should be made as required in other
flight conditions to hold the throttle setting.

WING FLAP SETTINGS
Normal takeoffs use wing flaps UP - 20° (10° preferred). Using 20° wing
flaps reduces the ground roll and total distance over an obstacle by
approximately 10 percent. Flap deflections greater than 20° are not
approved for takeoff. If 20° wing flaps are used for takeoff, the flaps
should stay at 20° until all obstacles are cleared and a safe flap
retraction speed of 90 KIAS is reached. For a short field, 20° wing flaps
and an obstacle clearance speed of 74 KIAS should be used.
Soft or rough field takeoffs are performed with 20° flaps by lifting the
airplane off the ground as soon as practical in a slightly tail low attitude.
If no obstacles are ahead, the airplane should be leveled off
immediately to accelerate to a higher climb speed. When departing a
soft field with an aft C.G. loading, the elevator trim control should be
adjusted towards the nose down direction to give comfortable control
wheel forces during the initial climb.

CROSSWIND TAKEOFF
Takeoffs under strong crosswind conditions normally are performed
with the minimum flap setting necessary for the field length, to minimize
the drift angle immediately after takeoff. With the ailerons partially
deflected into the wind, the airplane is accelerated to a speed slightly
higher than normal, then the elevator control is used to quickly, but
carefully, lift the airplane off the ground and to prevent possible settling
back to the runway while drifting. When clear of the ground, make a
coordinated turn into the wind to correct for drift.

ENROUTE CLIMB
Power settings for a best rate of climb profile using Maximum
Continuous Power (MCP) must be limited to 39 in.hg. manifold
pressure, 2500 RPM and 34 GPH fuel flow.
Normal enroute climbs are performed with flaps up, at 30 in.hg.
manifold pressure, 2400 RPM, 20 GPH fuel flow, and 95 to 105 KIAS
for the best combination of performance, visibility, engine cooling,
economy and passenger comfort (due to lower noise level). However,
MCP power settings may be used for increased climb performance, as
desired.
If it is necessary to climb more rapidly to clear mountains or reach
favorable winds at higher altitudes, the best rate of climb speed should
be used with MCP. This speed is 89 KIAS from sea level to 17,000 feet,
decreasing to 79 KIAS at 24,000 feet.
If an obstruction dictates the use of a steep climb angle, the best angle
of climb speed should be used with flaps up and maximum power. This
speed is 69 KIAS at sea level, increasing to 72 KIAS at 10,000 feet.
This type of climb should be of the minimum duration and engine
temperatures should be carefully monitored due to the low climb speed.
For maximum power, the mixture should be set in accordance with the
Minimum Fuel Flows Maximum Continuous Power placard. The fuel
flow values on the placard are minimum fuel flows.

CRUISE
Normal cruise is performed between 55% and 75% of the rated MCP.
However, any power setting within the green arc ranges on the
manifold pressure indicator and tachometer may be used. The power
setting and corresponding fuel consumption for various altitudes can be
determined by using the data in Section 5.
NOTE
Cruise flight should use 65 to 75% power as much as
possible until the engine has operated for a total of 50
hours or oil consumption has stabilized. Operation at this
higher power will ensure proper seating of the piston rings
and is applicable to new engines, and engines in service
following cylinder replacement or top overhaul of one or
more cylinders.
The Cruise Performance charts in Section 5 provide the pilot with flight
planning information for the Model T206H in still air with speed fairings
installed. Power, altitude, and winds determine the time and fuel
needed to complete any flight.
The Cruise Performance Table, Figure 4-3, shows the true airspeed
and nautical miles per gallon during cruise for various altitudes and
percent powers, and is based on standard conditions and zero wind.
This table should be used as a guide, along with the available winds
aloft information, to determine the most favorable altitude and power
setting for a given trip. The selection of cruise altitude on the basis of
the most favorable wind conditions and the use of low power settings
are significant factors that should be considered on every trip to reduce
fuel consumption.

The Cruise Performance charts in Section 5 provide the pilot with
cruise performance at maximum gross weight. When normal cruise is
performed at reduced weights there is an increase in true airspeed.
During normal cruise at power settings between 65% and 75%, the true
airspeed will increase approximately 1 knot for every 125 pounds below
maximum gross weight. During normal cruise at power settings below
65%, the true airspeed will increase approximately 1 knot for every 100
pounds below maximum gross weight.
The fuel injection system employed on this engine is considered to be
non-icing. In the event that unusual conditions cause the intake air filter
to become clogged or iced over, an alternate intake air door opens
automatically for the most efficient use of either normal or alternate air,
depending on the amount of filter blockage. Due to the lower intake
pressure available through the alternate air door or a partially blocked
filter, manifold pressure can decrease from a cruise power setting. This
manifold pressure should be recovered by increasing the throttle
setting or setting a higher RPM as necessary to maintain desired
power.

LEANING USING TURBINE INLET TEMPERATURE (T.I.T.)
The cruise performance data in this POH is based on the
recommended lean mixture setting which can be set using the lean
assist system (this can only be used if T.I.T. reaches peak before lower
end of red arc) or the T.I.T. indicator at power settings of 75% MCP and
less.
Exhaust gas Turbine Inlet Temperature (T.I.T.) is displayed on the EIS
ENGINE and LEAN pages. The ENGINE page has a horizontal scale
with a temperature indicator (inverted triangle) and is labeled T.I.T. The
LEAN page has the same indicator but is labeled T.I.T. °F along with a
digital value. Both indicators show the Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT)
at the inlet of the turbocharger turbine in degrees Fahrenheit.
CAUTION
LEANING WITH A T.I.T. INDICATOR IS PERMITTED
ONLY WHEN MANIFOLD PRESSURE AND RPM ARE
WITHIN THE GREEN ARC RANGES.
To use the lean assist system, push the ENGINE, LEAN and ASSIST
softkeys. The symbol ΔPEAK °F will display below the T.I.T. indicator.
Recommended lean operation is at 75°F rich of peak T.I.T. The T.I.T. is
at peak temperature when ΔPEAK °F shows a value of 0. When ΔPEAK
°F shows a negative value (-), T.I.T. is on the rich or lean side of peak.
To lean the mixture, slowly rotate the mixture control counterclockwise
while monitoring both the T.I.T. indicator and the ΔPEAK °F value. Do
not continue to lean the mixture if T.I.T. reaches the red line. When T.I.T.
reaches peak (ΔPEAK °F 0), monitor ΔPEAK °F and FFLOW GPH and
enrichen the mixture by slowly rotating the mixture control clockwise
until T.I.T. goes back to 75°F rich of peak (ΔPEAK °F -75°F). For best

PROCEDURES

FOR

NORMAL

For best fuel economy during normal operations, the following
procedures are recommended.
1. After engine start and for all ground operations, set the throttle to
1200 RPM and lean the mixture for maximum RPM. After
leaning, set the throttle to the appropriate RPM for ground
operations. Leave the mixture at this setting until beginning the
BEFORE TAKEOFF checklist. After the BEFORE TAKEOFF
checklist is complete, lean the mixture again as described
above, until ready to perform the TAKEOFF checklist.
2. Adjust the mixture for placarded fuel flows during MCP climbs.
3. Lean the mixture at any altitude for RECOMMENDED LEAN or
BEST ECONOMY fuel flows when using 75% or less power.
NOTE
Using the above recommended procedures can provide
fuel savings in excess of 5% when compared to typical
training operations at full rich mixture. In addition, the above
procedures will minimize spark plug fouling since the
reduction in fuel consumption results in a proportional
reduction in tetraethyl lead passing through the engine.

FUEL VAPOR PROCEDURES
The engine fuel system can cause fuel vapor formation on the ground
during warm weather. This will generally occur when the outside
ambient air temperature is above 80°F. Vapor formation may increase
when the engine fuel flows are lower at idle and taxi engine speeds.
The following procedures are recommended when engine idle speed
and fuel flow fluctuations show that fuel vapor may be present:
1. With the mixture full rich, set the throttle at 1800 RPM to 2000
RPM. Maintain this power setting for 1 to 2 minutes or until
smooth engine operation returns.
2. Retard the throttle to idle to verify normal engine operation.
3. Advance the throttle to 1200 RPM and lean the mixture as
described under FUEL SAVINGS PROCEDURES FOR
NORMAL OPERATIONS.
4. In addition to the above procedures, the auxiliary fuel pump may
be turned ON with the mixture adjusted as required to aid vapor
suppression during ground operations. The auxiliary fuel pump
should be turned OFF prior to takeoff.
5. Just prior to TAKEOFF, advance the throttle to 39 in.hg. for
approximately 10 seconds to verify smooth engine operation for
takeoff.
NOTE
When the engine is operated above 1800 RPM, the
r esu lting inc rea sed fuel fl ow r es ults in low er fue l
temperatures throughout the engine fuel system. This
increased flow purges the fuel vapor and the cooler fuel
minimizes vapor formation.

STALLS
The stall characteristics are conventional and aural warning is provided
by a stall warning horn which sounds between 5 and 10 knots above
the stall in all configurations. Altitude loss during stall recovery may be
as much as 360 feet.
Power off stall speeds at maximum weight for both forward and aft C.G.
positions are presented in Section 5.

DESCENT
At 75% MCP or less (both manifold pressure and RPM indicators in the
green arcs), adjust the mixture if necessary to get smooth engine
operation. Avoid using FULL RICH mixture during long or low power
descents. Using FULL RICH mixture under these conditions can cause
carbon and lead deposits to be formed in the engine which could result
in roughness or hesitation.

LANDING
NORMAL LANDING
Normal landing approaches can be made with power on or power off
with any flap setting within the flap airspeed limits. Surface winds and
air turbulence are usually the primary factors in determining the most
comfortable approach speeds. Steep slips with flap settings greater
than 20° can cause a slight tendency for the elevator to oscillate under
certain combinations of airspeed, sideslip angle, and center of gravity
loadings.
Landing at slower speeds will result in shorter landing distances and
minimum wear to tires and brakes. Power must be at idle as the main
wheels touch the ground. The main wheels must touch the ground
before the nosewheel. The nosewheel must be lowered to the runway
carefully after the speed has diminished to avoid unnecessary nose
gear loads. This procedure is very important for rough or soft field
landings.

SHORT FIELD LANDING
For a short field landing in smooth air conditions, approach at 67 KIAS
with FULL flaps using enough power to control the glide path. Slightly
higher approach speeds should be used in turbulent air conditions.
After all approach obstacles are cleared, smoothly reduce power and
hold the approach speed by lowering the nose of the airplane. The
main wheels must touch the ground before the nosewheel with power
at idle. Immediately after the main wheels touch the ground, carefully
lower the nosewheel and apply heavy braking as required. For
maximum brake performance, retract the flaps, hold the control wheel
full back, and apply maximum brake pressure without skidding the tires.

LANDING (Continued)
CROSSWIND LANDING
When landing in a strong crosswind, use the minimum flap setting
required for the field length. If flap settings greater than 20° are used in
sideslips with full rudder deflection, some elevator oscillation may be
felt at normal approach speeds. However, this does not affect control of
the airplane. Although the crab or combination method of drift
correction may be used, the wing low method gives the best control.
After touchdown, hold a straight course with the steerable nosewheel,
with aileron deflection as applicable, and occasional braking if
necessary.
The maximum allowable crosswind velocity is dependent upon pilot
capability as well as airplane limitations. Operation in direct crosswinds
of 20 knots has been demonstrated.

BALKED LANDING
In a balked landing (go-around) climb, reduce the flap setting to 20°
immediately after full power is applied and climb at 85 KIAS. Adjust
mixture to 34 GPH fuel flow. After clearing any obstacles, carefully
retract the flaps and allow the airplane to accelerate to normal climb
airspeed.

COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS
Special consideration should be given to the operation of the airplane
fuel system during the winter season or prior to any flight in cold
temperatures. Proper preflight draining of the fuel system is especially
important and will eliminate any free water accumulation. The use of
additives such as isopropyl alcohol or Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl
Ether (DiEGME) may also be desirable. Refer to Section 8 for
information on the proper use of additives.
Cold weather often causes conditions that require special care during
airplane operations. Even small accumulations of frost, ice, or snow
must be removed, particularly from wing, tail and all control
surfaces to assure satisfactory flight performance and handling.
Also, control surfaces must be free of any internal accumulations of ice
or snow.
If snow or slush covers the takeoff surface, allowance must be made for
takeoff distances which will be increasingly extended as the snow or
slush depth increases. The depth and consistency of this cover can, in
fact, prevent takeoff in many instances.
NOTE
The waste gate controller will not respond quickly to
variations in manifold pressure when oil temperature is near
the lower limit of the green band. Therefore, under these
conditions, throttle motion should be made slowly and care
should be exercised to prevent exceeding the 39 in.hg.
manifold pressure limit. In addition, the fuel flow indications
may exceed 34 GPH on takeoff if the mixture isn't leaned to
compensate.
The Turbo-System engine installation has been designed such that a
winterization kit is not required. With the cowl flaps fully closed, engine
temperature will be normal (in the green band range) in outside air
temperature as low as 20° to 30°C below standard. When cooler
surface temperatures are encountered, the normal air temperature
inversion will result in warmer temperatures at cruise altitudes above
5000 feet.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION (Continued)
If low altitude cruise in very cold temperature results in engine
temperature below the green band, increasing cruise altitude or cruise
power will increase engine temperature into the green band. Cylinder
head temperatures will increase approximately 50°F as cruise altitudes
increase from 5000 feet to 20,000 feet.
During descent, observe engine temperatures closely and hold
sufficient power to keep temperatures in the recommended operating
range.

STARTING
When air temperatures are below 20°F (-6°C), use an external
preheater and an external power source whenever possible to obtain
positive starting and to reduce wear and abuse to the engine and
electrical system. Preheat will thaw the oil trapped in the oil cooler,
which probably will be congealed prior to starting in extremely cold
temperatures.

WHEN TURNING THE PROPELLER BY HAND, TREAT IT
AS IF THE MAGNETOS SWITCH IS IN THE ON
POSITION. A LOOSE OR BROKEN GROUND WIRE ON
EITHER MAGNETO COULD ENERGIZE THE ENGINE.

NORMAL PROCEDURES

COLD WEATHER OPERATION (Continued)
STARTING (Continued)
Prior to starting on cold mornings, it is advisable to turn the propeller
manually through several engine compression cycles by hand to loosen
the oil, so the engine cranks (motors) more easily and uses less battery
power. When the propeller is turned manually, turn it in the opposite
direction to normal engine rotation for greater safety. Opposite rotation
disengages the magneto impulse couplings and prevents possible
unwanted ignition.
When using an external power source, the MASTER switch ALT and
BAT sections must be in the OFF position before connecting the
external power source to the airplane receptacle. Refer to Section 7,
External Power Receptacle, for external power source operations.
Cold weather starting procedures are the same as the normal starting
procedures. However, to conserve battery power the beacon light can
be left off until the engine is started. Use caution to prevent inadvertent
forward movement of the airplane during starting when parked on snow
or ice.
During cold weather starting, when performing the Standby Battery
energy level test, the test lamp may not illuminate and the BUS E volts
may be less than 24 volts before turning on the MASTER (ALT and
BAT) switch. After engine start, verify the S BATT ammeter shows a
charge (positive) at 1000 RPM or greater. Prior to takeoff verify the S
BATT ammeter shows a charge less than 0.4 amps.
NOTE
If the engine does not start during the first few attempts, or
if engine firing diminishes in strength, the spark plugs may
be frosted over. Preheat must be used before another start
is attempted.
During cold weather operations, the oil temperature indicator may not
be in the green band prior to takeoff if outside air temperatures are very
cold. After a suitable warm up period (2 to 5 minutes at 1000 RPM),
accelerate the engine several times to higher engine RPMs. If the
engine accelerates smoothly and the oil pressure remains normal and
steady, the airplane is ready for takeoff.

HOT WEATHER OPERATIONS
Refer to the general warm temperature starting information under
Starting Engine in this section. Avoid prolonged engine operation on the
ground.

NOISE CHARACTERISTICS
The certified takeoff noise level for the Model T206H at 3600 pounds
maximum weight is 75.8 dB(A) per 14 CFR 36 Appendix G (through
Amendment 36-21) and 79.8 dB(A) per ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 10
(through Amendment 4). No determination has been made that the
noise levels of this airplane are, or should be, acceptable or
unacceptable for operation at, into, or out of, any airport.
The following procedures are suggested to minimize the effect of
airplane noise on the public:
1. Pilots operating airplanes under VFR over outdoor assemblies
of persons, recreational and park areas, and other noise
sensitive areas should make every effort to fly not less than
2000 feet above the surface, weather permitting, even though
flight at a lower level may be consistent with the provisions of
government regulations.
2. During departure from or approach to an airport, climb after
takeoff and descent for landing should be made so as to avoid
prolonged flight at low altitude near noise sensitive areas.
NOTE
The above recommended procedures do not apply where
they would conflict with Air Traffic Control clearances or
instructions, or where, in the pilot's judgment, an altitude of
less than 2000 feet is necessary to adequately exercise the
duty to see and avoid other airplanes.

PERFORMANCE

INTRODUCTION
Performance data charts on the following pages are presented so that
you may know what to expect from the airplane under various
conditions and to facilitate the planning of flights in detail with
reasonable accuracy. The data in the charts has been computed from
actual flight tests with the airplane and engine in good condition and
using average piloting techniques.
It should be noted that performance information presented in the range
and endurance profile charts allows for 45 minutes reserve fuel at the
specified power setting. Fuel flow data for cruise is based on the
recommended lean mixture setting at all altitudes. Some indeterminate
variables such as mixture leaning technique, fuel metering
characteristics, engine and propeller condition, and air turbulence may
account for variations of 10% or more in range and endurance.
Therefore, it is important to utilize all available information to estimate
the fuel required for the particular flight and to flight plan in a
conservative manner.

USE OF PERFORMANCE CHARTS
Performance data is presented in tabular or graphical form to illustrate
the effect of different variables. Sufficiently detailed information is
provided in the tables so that conservative values can be selected and
used to determine the particular performance figure with reasonable
accuracy.

SAMPLE PROBLEM (Continued)
TAKEOFF
The takeoff distance chart, Figure 5-6, should be consulted, keeping in
mind that distances shown are based on the short field technique.
Conservative distances can be established by reading the chart at the
next higher value of weight, altitude and temperature. For example, in
this particular sample problem, the takeoff distance information
presented for a weight of 3600 pounds, pressure altitude of 4000 feet
and a temperature of 30°C should be used and results in the following:

Ground roll
Total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle

1310 Feet
2430 Feet

These distances are well within the available takeoff field length.
However, a correction for the effect of wind may be made based on
information presented in the note section of the takeoff chart. The
correction for a 12 knot headwind is:
12 Knots X 10% = 12% Decrease
10 Knots
This results in the following distances, corrected for wind:
Ground roll, zero wind

1310 Feet

Decrease in ground roll (1310 feet X 12%)

-157 Feet

SAMPLE PROBLEM (Continued)
CRUISE
The cruising altitude should be selected based on a consideration of
trip length, winds aloft, and the airplane's performance. A typical
cruising altitude and the expected wind enroute have been given for
this sample problem. However, the power setting selection for cruise
must be determined based on several considerations. These include
the cruise performance characteristics presented in Figure 5-9, the
range profile chart presented in Figure 5-10, and the endurance profile
chart presented in Figure 5-11.
The relationship between power and range is illustrated by the range
profile chart. Considerable fuel savings and longer range result when
lower power settings are used. For this sample problem, a cruise power
of approximately 70% will be used.
The cruise performance chart, Figure 5-9, is entered at 12,000 feet
altitude and 20°C above standard temperature. These values most
nearly correspond to the planned altitude and expected temperature
conditions. The engine speed chosen is 2400 RPM and 30 inches of
manifold pressure, which results in the following:

SAMPLE PROBLEM (Continued)
FUEL REQUIRED
The total fuel requirement for the flight may be estimated using the
performance information in Figure 5-8 and Figure 5-9. For this sample
problem, the time, fuel, and distance to climb may be determined from
Figure 5-8 (Sheet 4) for normal climb. The difference between the
values shown in the table for 4,000 feet and 12,000 feet result in the
following:
Time:
14 Minutes
Fuel:
4.6 Gallons
Distance: 24 Nautical Miles
These values are for a standard temperature and are sufficiently
accurate for most flight planning purposes. However, a further
correction for the effect of temperature may be made as noted on the
climb chart. The approximate effect of a nonstandard temperature is to
increase the time, fuel, and distance by 10% for each 8°C above
standard temperature, due to the lower rate of climb. In this case,
assuming a temperature 16°C above standard the correction would be:
16°C X 10% = 20% Increase
8°C
With this factor included, the fuel estimate would be calculated as
follows:
Fuel to climb, standard temperature
Increase due to nonstandard temperature (4.6 X 20%)
Corrected fuel to climb

4.6 Gallons
1.0 Gallons
5.6 Gallons

Using a similar procedure for the distance to climb results in 29 nautical
miles.
The resultant cruise distance is:

A 45-minute reserve requires:

AIRPLANE WEIGHING PROCEDURES (Continued)
2. Level:
a. Place scales under each wheel (minimum scale capacity,
1000 pounds).
b. Deflate the nose tire and/or lower or raise the nose strut to
properly center the bubble in the level (Refer to Figure 6-1).
3. Weigh:
a. Weigh airplane in a closed hangar to avoid errors caused by
air currents.
b. With the airplane level and brakes released, record the
weight shown on each scale. Deduct the tare, if any, from
each reading.
4. Measure:
a. Obtain measurement A by measuring horizontally (along the
airplane centerline) from a line stretched between the main
wheel centers to a plumb bob dropped from the firewall.
b. Obtain measurement B by measuring horizontally and
parallel to the airplane centerline, from center of nosewheel
axle, left side, to a plumb bob dropped from the line between
the main wheel centers. Repeat on right side and average
the measurements.
5. Using weights from step 3 and measurements from step 4, the
Basic Empty Weight and C.G. can be determined by completing
Figure 6-1 (Sheet 2).
6. Changes to the Airplane Weight and Balance due to alteration or
repair must be documented in a permanent record within the
POH similar to that shown in Figure 6-2.
7. A new Basic Empty Weight and CG Arm based on actual airplane
weight (as weighed) is required after a major repair or alteration.
It is recommended that the airplane be weighed to verify Basic
Empty Weight and CG Arm at intervals not to exceed 5 years.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE
The following information will enable you to operate your Cessna within
the prescribed weight and center of gravity limitations. To determine
weight and balance, use the Sample Loading Problem (Figure 6-3),
Loading Graph (Figure 6-4), and Center of Gravity Moment Envelope
(Figure 6-8) as follows:
Enter the appropriate basic empty weight and moment/1000 from the
weight and balance records for your airplane in the YOUR AIRPLANE
column of the Sample Loading Problem.
NOTE
In addition to the basic empty weight and moment noted on
these records, the C.G. arm (FS) is also shown, but need
not be used on the Sample Loading Problem. The moment
which is shown must be divided by 1000 and this value
used as the moment/1000 on the loading problem.
Use the Loading Graph to determine the moment/1000 for each
additional item to be carried; then list these on the loading problem.
NOTE
Loading Graph information for the pilot, passengers and
baggage is based on seats positioned for average
occupants and baggage loaded in the center of the
baggage areas as shown on the Loading Arrangements
diagram. For loadings which may differ from these, the
Sample Loading Problem lists fuselage stations (FS) for
these items to indicate their forward and aft C.G. range
limitations (seat travel and baggage area limitation). Refer
to Figures 6-5, 6-6 and 6-7 for additional loading
information. Additional moment calculations, based on the
actual weight and C.G. arm (FS) of the item being loaded,
must be made if the position of the load is different from that
shown on the Loading Graph.

SECTION 6
WEIGHT AND BALANCE/
EQUIPMENT LIST

WEIGHT AND BALANCE (Continued)
When the cargo pack is installed, it is necessary to determine the C.G.
arm and calculate the moment/1000 of items carried in the pack. The
arm for any location in the pack can be determined from the diagram on
Figures 6-5 and 6-6. Multiply the weight of the item by the C.G. arm,
then divide by 1000 to get the moment/1000. The maximum loading
capacity of the pack is 300 pounds.
NOTE
Each loading should be calculated in accordance with the
above paragraphs. When the loading is light (such as pilot
and front passenger, and no oxygen system, rear seats or
cargo), be sure to check the forward balance limits. When
loading is heavy (near gross weight), be sure to check the
aft balance limits.
To avoid time consuming delays in cargo and/or passenger shifting,
plan your load so that the heaviest cargo and/or passengers are in the
forward part of the airplane or cargo pack, and the lightest in the rear.
Always plan to have any vacant space at the rear of the airplane or
pack. For example, do not have passengers occupy the aft seat unless
the front and center seats are to be occupied.
Total the weights and moments/1000 and plot these values on the
Center of Gravity Moment Envelope to determine whether the point
falls within the envelope, and if the loading is acceptable.

BAGGAGE AND CARGO TIEDOWN
A nylon baggage net having four tiedown straps is provided as
standard equipment to secure baggage/cargo in cargo area D. Two
floor-mounted "D" ring tiedowns and two "D" ring tiedowns located in
the aft cabin top, serve as the attaching points for the net in cargo area
"D". The "D" rings which serve as the attachments for the forward
tiedown straps are mounted in the floor near each sidewall
approximately at FS 123. The two "D" rings for the aft tiedown straps
are installed at the aft edge of the top rear windows approximately at
FS 135.

BAGGAGE AND CARGO TIEDOWN (Continued)
It will be necessary to properly secure cargo loads before flight. To
supplement the standard "D" rings provided for tiedown, additional "D"
rings are available from any Cessna Service Station. If more tiedown
points are needed, the shoulder harness attaching points may be used.
Rope, strap, or cable used for tiedown should be rated at a minimum of
ten times the load weight capacity of the tiedown fittings used.
Refer to Figures 6-5 and 6-7 for additional information concerning
attachments in restraining cargo.

NOTE
* Only the total rated load of tiedowns located aft of the cargo
load are to be considered when determining adequate
restraint of cargo. Tiedowns are also required forward of
the load to prevent the load from shifting. The type of the
tiedowns available, and the sum of their individual rated
loads, are the determining factors in selecting the number
of tiedowns needed.
EXAMPLE
A 400-pound load would require that a minimum of four tiedowns rated
at 100 pounds each be located aft of the load for proper restraint.
Additional tiedowns forward of the load would be needed to prevent the
load from shifting.

SECTION 7
AIRPLANE AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

INTRODUCTION
This section provides description and operation of the airplane and its
systems. Some equipment described herein is optional and may not be
installed in the airplane. Refer to Section 9, Supplements, for details of
other optional systems and equipment.

AIRFRAME
The airplane is an all metal, six-place, high wing, single-engine airplane
equipped with tricycle landing gear and is designed for general utility
purposes.
The construction of the fuselage is of conventional aluminum bulkhead,
stringer and skin design commonly known as semimonocoque. Major
components of the structure include the front and rear carry-thru spars
(to which the wings attach); these form the top element of the forward
and aft doorpost bulkhead assemblies. The lower member of the
forward doorpost bulkhead assembly is below the cabin floor and
provides the fuselage attachment for the wing struts. The lower
member of the aft doorpost bulkhead assembly is also below the floor
and serves as the forward web of the landing gear carry-thru structure.
The main landing gear attaches to the fuselage on each side at an
inner and outer forged bulkhead that attaches at the front to the lower
member of the aft doorpost bulkhead and at the rear to another
transverse bulkhead below the floorboard. The engine mount structure
is supported by a keel beam assembly that also supports the lower
cowling, passes aft through the firewall into the cabin below the
floorboard and attaches to the lower member of the forward doorpost
bulkhead assembly. The keel beam assembly also provides the
attachments for the nose landing gear.
The externally braced wings, containing integral fuel tanks, are
constructed of a front and rear spar with formed sheet metal ribs,
doublers, and stringers. The entire structure is covered with aluminum
skin. The front spars are equipped with wing-to-fuselage and wing-tostrut attach fittings. The aft spars are equipped with wing-to-fuselage
attach fittings, and are partial span spars.

AIRFRAME (Continued)
Frise-type ailerons and single-slot type flaps are attached to the trailing
edge of the wings. The ailerons are constructed of a forward spar,
formed sheet metal ribs, a V type corrugated aluminum skin joined
together at the trailing edge, and a formed leading edge containing
balance weights. The flaps are constructed basically the same as the
ailerons, with the exception of the balance weights, aft spars and the
addition of a trailing edge stiffener.
The empennage (tail assembly) consists of a conventional vertical
stabilizer, rudder, horizontal stabilizer, and elevator. The vertical
stabilizer consists of a forward and aft spar, formed sheet metal ribs
and reinforcements, four skin panels, formed leading edge skins and a
dorsal fin.
The rudder is constructed of a forward and aft spar, formed sheet metal
ribs and reinforcements, and a wraparound skin panel. The top of the
rudder incorporates a leading edge extension which contains a balance
weight.
The horizontal stabilizer is constructed of a forward and aft spar, ribs
and stiffeners, center upper and lower skin panels and two left and two
right wraparound skin panels which also form the leading edges. The
horizontal stabilizer also contains the elevator trim tab actuator.
Construction of the elevator consists of a forward and aft spar, ribs,
torque tube and bellcrank, left upper and lower skin panels, and right
inboard and outboard formed trailing edges. The elevator trim tab
consists of a bracket assembly, hinge half, and a wraparound skin
panel. Both elevator tip leading edge extensions incorporate balance
weights.

FLIGHT CONTROLS
The airplane's flight control system (Refer to Figure 7-1) consists of
conventional aileron, rudder, and elevator control surfaces. The control
surfaces are manually operated through mechanical linkage using a
control wheel for the ailerons and elevator, and rudder/brake pedals for
the rudder. The elevator control system is equipped with downsprings
which provide improved stability in flight.

FLIGHT CONTROLS (Continued)
TRIM SYSTEMS
A manually operated rudder and elevator trim is provided (Refer to
Figure 7-1). The rudder is trimmed through a bungee connected to the
rudder control system and a trim control wheel mounted on the control
pedestal. This is accomplished by rotating the horizontally mounted trim
control wheel either left or right to the desired trim position. Rotating the
trim wheel to the right will trim nose-right; conversely, rotating it to the
left will trim nose-left. The elevator is trimmed through the elevator trim
tab by utilizing the vertically mounted trim control wheel. Forward
rotation of the trim wheel will trim nose-down, conversely, aft rotation
will trim nose-up.

MANUAL ELECTRIC TRIM SYSTEM
Refer to the Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide (CRG) for more
information on system operation.

AIRPLANE AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

GROUND CONTROL
Effective ground control while taxiing is accomplished through
nosewheel steering by using the rudder pedals; left rudder pedal to
steer left and right rudder pedal to steer right. When a rudder pedal is
depressed, a spring loaded steering bungee, which is connected to the
nose gear and to the rudder bars, will turn the nosewheel through an
arc of approximately 15° each side of center. By applying either left or
right brake, the degree of turn may be increased up to 35° each side of
center.
Moving the airplane by hand is most easily accomplished by attaching
a towbar to the nose gear strut. If a towbar is not available, or pushing
is required, use the wing struts as push points. Do not use the vertical
or horizontal surfaces to move the airplane. If the airplane is to be
towed by vehicle, never turn the nosewheel more than 35° either side
of center or structural damage to the nose gear could result.
The minimum turning radius of the airplane, using differential braking
and nosewheel steering during taxi, is approximately 27 feet. To obtain
a minimum radius turn during ground handling, the airplane may be
rotated around either main landing gear by pressing down on a tailcone
bulkhead just forward of the horizontal stabilizer to raise the nosewheel
off the ground. Care should be exercised to ensure that pressure is
exerted only on the bulkhead area and not on skin between the
bulkheads. Pressing down on the horizontal stabilizer to raise the
nosewheel off the ground is not recommended.

WING FLAP SYSTEM
The single slot type wing flaps (Refer to Figure 7-3), are extended or
retracted by positioning the wing flap control lever on the instrument
panel to the desired flap deflection position. The wing flap control lever
is moved up or down in a slotted panel that provides mechanical stops
at the 10° and 20° positions. To change flap setting, the wing flap
control lever is moved to the right to clear mechanical stops at the 10°
and 20° positions. A scale and pointer to the left of the wing flap control
lever indicates flap travel in degrees. The wing flap system circuit is
protected by a 10-ampere circuit breaker, labeled FLAP, on the left side
of the circuit breaker panel.
NOTE
A flap interrupt switch, on the upper sill of the forward cargo
door opening, will stop flap operation regardless of flap
position anytime the forward cargo door is unlatched. The
switch is intended to prevent lowering the flaps into the
cargo door when it is open.

SEATS
The airplane is equipped with the conventional style six-place seating
arrangement. Conventional seating consists of four separate forward
facing seats and a fold-flat rear bench seat assembly.
Seats used for the pilot and front seat passenger are adjustable
forward and aft, and up and down. Additionally, the angle of the seat
back is infinitely adjustable.
Seats used for the center seat passengers are adjustable fore and aft.
Additionally, the angle of the seat back is infinitely adjustable.
Forward and aft adjustment is made using the handle located below the
center of the seat frame. To position the seat, lift the handle, slide the
seat into position, release the handle and check that the seat is locked
in place. To adjust the height of the seat, rotate the large crank under
the right corner of the seat until a comfortable height is obtained. To
adjust the seat back angle, pull up on the release button, located in
center front of seat, just under the seat bottom, position the seat back
to the desired angle, and release the button. When the seat is not
occupied, the seat back will automatically fold forward whenever the
release button is pulled up.
The rear passenger bench seat is equipped with a fixed one-piece seat
bottom, a fold-flat seat back for additional storage capabilities, and a
three-position reclining seat back for added comfort.
The fold-flat seat back function is controlled by a lever located on the
right side of the seat back frame assembly. To fold the seat back to the
down position, raise the lever, position the seat back to the down
position, release the lever, and check that the seat back is securely
locked in place.
The three-position reclining seat back is adjusted by a lever located
below the center of the seat frame. To adjust the seat back, raise the
lever, position the seat back to the desired angle, release the lever, and
check that the seat back is securely locked in place.
Headrests are installed on all passenger seats. To adjust the headrest,
apply enough pressure to it to raise or lower it to the desired level.

INTEGRATED SEAT BELT/SHOULDER HARNESS
All seat positions are equipped with integrated seat belts/shoulder
harness assemblies (Refer to Figure 7-4). The design incorporates an
overhead inertia reel for the shoulder portion, and a retractor assembly
for the lap portion of the belt. This design allows for complete freedom
of movement of the upper torso area while providing restraint in the lap
belt area. In the event of a sudden deceleration, reels lock up to provide
positive restraint for the user.
In the front and center seats, the inertia reels are located on the
centerline of the upper cabin area. In the rear seats, the inertia reels
are located outboard of each passenger in the upper cabin.
To use the integrated seat belt/shoulder harness, grasp the link with
one hand, and, in a single motion, extend the assembly and insert into
the buckle. Positive locking has occurred when a distinctive “snap”
sound is heard.
Proper locking of the lap belt can be verified by ensuring that the belts
are allowed to retract into the retractors and the lap belt is snug and low
on the waist as worn normally during flight. No more than one
additional inch of belt should be able to be pulled out of the retractor
once the lap belt is in place on the occupant. If more than one
additional inch of belt can be pulled out of the retractor, the occupant is
too small for the installed restraint system and the seat should not be
occupied until the occupant is properly restrained.
Removal is accomplished by pressing the release button on the buckle
and pulling out and up on the harness. Spring tension on the inertia reel
will automatically stow the harness.

ENTRANCE DOORS AND CABIN WINDOWS
Entry to, and exit from the airplane is accomplished through an entry
door on the left side of the cabin at the pilot's seat position and through
double cargo doors on the right side of the cabin at the center and rear
seat passenger positions (refer to Section 6 for cabin and cabin door
dimensions). The left entry door incorporates a recessed exterior door
handle, conventional interior door handle, key-operated door lock, door
stop mechanism, and openable window.
NOTE
The door latch design on the T206H requires that the
outside door handle on the left entry door be extended out
whenever the door is open. When closing the door, do not
attempt to push the door handle in until the door is fully
shut.
To open the left entry door from outside the airplane, utilize the
recessed door handle near the aft edge of the door by grasping the
forward end of the handle and pulling outboard. To open or close the
door from inside the airplane, use the combination door handle and arm
rest. The inside door handle has three positions and a placard at its
base which reads OPEN, CLOSE, and LOCK. The handle is spring
loaded to the CLOSE (up) position. When the door has been pulled
shut and latched, lock it by rotating the door handle forward to the
LOCK position (flush with the arm rest). When the handle is rotated to
the LOCK position, an over center action will hold it in that position. The
left entry door should be locked prior to flight, and should not be
opened intentionally during flight.
NOTE
Accidental opening of the left entry door in flight, due to
improper closing, does not constitute a need to land the
airplane. The best procedure is to set up the airplane in a
trimmed condition at approximately 90 KIAS, momentarily
shove the door outward slightly, and forcefully close and
lock the door.

ENTRANCE DOORS AND CABIN WINDOWS
(Continued)
The forward cargo door uses an external handle that rotates to open or
close and latch the door. The exterior door handle eliminates the
keyed-lock locking the cargo door from the exterior of the airplane. The
cargo door is now locked using a locking pin inserted into the forward
cargo door operating mechanism from inside the cabin. The cargo door
locking pin must be removed and stowed before takeoff.
The double cargo doors can be opened from outside the airplane, only
when the forward door inside handle is in the CLOSE position, by
utilizing the door handle near the aft edge of the forward door. After the
forward door is opened, the aft door may be opened by grasping the
red handle on the forward edge of the door and pulling downward to
release the locking pawls. To close the cargo doors from inside the
airplane, close the aft door first using the red handle to latch both
locking pawls, and then close the forward door. When the forward door
is closed and latched, rotate the door handle, labeled OPEN, CLOSE,
and LOCK, to the locked position. Both doors must be securely closed
and the forward door locked prior to flight, and they must not be opened
intentionally during flight.
NOTE

•

If the forward cargo door should come unlatched and
open slightly in flight, it is suggested that a landing be
made at a suitable airport to close and latch the door,
unless a passenger is available to close it. It cannot be
reached by the pilot. The wing flaps will not operate with
the cargo door open, even slightly, and the landing
should be planned accordingly.

•

A flap interrupt switch, on the upper sill of the forward
cargo door opening, will stop flap operation regardless of
flap position any time the forward cargo door is
unlatched. The switch is intended to prevent lowering
the flaps into the cargo door when it is open.

Although with flaps extended, the forward cargo door can only be
opened approximately four inches, the aft cargo door will still open fully,
if required, once the forward door is unlatched.

locking the outside door handle with the key-operated lock.
The left cabin door is equipped with an openable window which is held
in the closed position by a detent equipped latch on the lower edge of
the window frame. To open the window, rotate the latch upward. The
left cabin door window is equipped with a spring-loaded retaining arm
which will help rotate the window outward and hold it there. An
openable window is also installed for the right front passenger seat
position, and functions in the same manner as the window in the left
cabin door. If required, either window may be opened at any speed up
to 182 KIAS. All other cabin windows are fixed and cannot be opened.

CONTROL LOCKS
A control lock is provided to lock the aileron and elevator control
surfaces to prevent damage to these systems by wind buffeting while
the airplane is parked. The lock consists of a shaped steel rod and flag.
The flag identifies the control lock and cautions about its removal
before starting the engine. To install the control lock, align the hole in
the side of the pilot’s control wheel shaft with the hole in the side of the
shaft collar on the instrument panel and insert the rod into the aligned
holes. Installation of the lock will secure the ailerons in a neutral
position and the elevators in a slightly trailing edge down position.
Proper installation of the lock will place the flag over the ignition switch.
In areas where high or gusty winds occur, a control surface lock should
be installed over the vertical stabilizer and rudder. The control lock and
any other type of locking device should be removed prior to starting the
engine.

Engine manifold pressure is set using the throttle control. The throttle
control is a smooth black knob located at the center of the instrument
panel below the standby instruments. The throttle control is configured
so that the throttle is open in the forward position and closed in the full
aft position. A friction lock, located at the base of the throttle, is
operated by rotating the lock clockwise to increase friction or
counterclockwise to decrease friction.
Engine speed is controlled by the propeller control. The propeller
control is a fluted blue knob located immediately to the right of the
throttle control. This system is described under Propeller in this section.
Engine fuel mixture is controlled by the mixture control. The mixture
control is a red knob, with raised points around the circumference,
located immediately to the right of the propeller control and is equipped
with a lock button in the end of the knob. The rich position is full
forward, and full aft is the idle cutoff position. For small adjustments, the
control may be moved forward by rotating the knob clockwise, and aft
by rotating the knob counterclockwise. For rapid or large adjustments,
the knob may be moved forward or aft by depressing the lock button in
the end of the control, and then positioning the control as desired.

ENGINE INSTRUMENTS
The G1000 Engine Indication System provides graphical indicators and
numeric values for engine, fuel, and electrical system parameters to the
pilot. The EIS is shown in a vertical strip on the left side of the PFD
during engine starts and on the MFD during normal operation. If either
the MFD or PFD fails during flight, the EIS is shown on the remaining
display.
The EIS consists of three pages that are selected using the ENGINE
softkey. The ENGINE page provides indicators for Manifold Pressure,
(MAN IN), Tachometer (RPM), Fuel Flow (FFLOW GPH), Oil Pressure
(OIL PRES), Oil Temperature (OIL TEMP), Cylinder Head Temperature
(CHT), Turbine Inlet Temperature (T.I.T.), Fuel Quantity (FUEL QTY
GAL), Electrical Bus Voltages (VOLTS), and Battery Currents (AMPS).
When the ENGINE softkey is pressed, the LEAN and SYSTEM
softkeys appear adjacent to the ENGINE softkey. The LEAN page
provides simultaneous indicators for Turbine Inlet Temperature (T.I.T.)
as well as Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT °F) and Cylinder Head
Temperature (CHT °F) on all cylinders to be used for adjusting, or
leaning, the fuel/air mixture along with a indicator for FUEL QTY GAL.
The SYSTEM page provides numerical values for parameters on the
ENGINE page that are shown as indicators only. The SYSTEM page
also provides an indicator for vacuum (VAC) and a digital value for
Engine Hours (ENG HRS), Fuel Used (GAL USED) and Fuel
Remaining (GAL REM).
The engine and airframe unit, located forward of the instrument panel,
receives signals from the engine/system sensors for the parameters
that are being monitored. The engine and airframe unit provides data to
the EIS, which displays the data for the ENGINE page described on the
following pages.

moves through a range from 0 to 2700 RPM. The numerical RPM value
is displayed in increments of 10 RPM in white numerals below the
pointer.
The normal engine speed operating limit (red line) is 2500 RPM. When
engine speed is 2575 RPM or more, the pointer, digital value, and label
(RPM) turn red to show engine speed is more than the limit. The digital
value and label (RPM) will flash. The engine speed (tachometer) is
displayed in the same configuration and location on the LEAN and
SYSTEM pages. If engine speed becomes 2575 RPM or more, while
on the LEAN or SYSTEM page, the display will return to the ENGINE

A speed sensor, mounted on the engine tachometer drive accessory
pad, provides a digital signal to the engine and airframe unit which
processes and outputs the RPM data to the EIS. A red X through the
RPM indicator shows the indicating system is inoperative.
FUEL FLOW
Fuel flow is shown on the ENGINE page by the FFLOW GPH horizontal
indicator. The indicator range is from 0 to 36 gallons per hour (GPH)
with 3 GPH graduations. A green band from 0 to 20 GPH is the normal

OIL PRESSURE
Engine oil pressure is shown on the ENGINE page by the OIL PRES
horizontal indicator. The indicator range is 0 to 120 PSI with a red band
from 0 to 20 PSI, a green band from 50 to 90 PSI (normal operating
range) and a red band from 115 to 120 PSI. A white pointer indicates
actual oil pressure. Oil pressure is shown numerically on the SYSTEM
page.
When oil pressure is 0 to 20 PSI or 115 to 120 PSI, the pointer, digital
value, and label (OIL PRES) will change to red to show that oil pressure
is outside normal limits. If oil pressure exceeds either the upper or
lower limit while on the LEAN or SYSTEM page, the EIS will return to

When the engine speed (RPM) is in the green arc and the oil
temperature is in the green band, the oil pressure should be in the
green band. If oil pressure is below the green band or above the green
band, adjust the engine speed to maintain adequate oil pressure. When
engine speed is at idle or near idle, the oil pressure indication must be
above the lower red band. With the engine at normal operating oil

red band when the engine is started). As the engine and oil warm up,
the oil pressure will come down into the green band range.
The oil pressure transducer, connected to the engine forward oil
pressure port, provides a signal to the engine display that is processed
and shown as oil pressure. A separate low oil pressure switch causes
an OIL PRESSURE annunciation on the PFD when oil pressure is 0 to
20 PSI. A red X through the oil pressure indicator means that the
indicating system is inoperative.
OIL TEMPERATURE
Engine oil temperature is shown on the ENGINE page by the OIL
TEMP horizontal indicator. The indicator range is from 75°F to 250°F
with a green band (normal operating range) from 100°F to 245°F and a
red band from 245°F to 250°F. A white pointer indicates actual oil
temperature. Oil temperature is displayed numerically on the SYSTEM
page.
When oil temperature is in the red band, 245°F to 250°F, the pointer
and OIL TEMP turn red and flash to show oil temperature is higher than
the limit. If oil temperature becomes hotter than 245°F while on the
LEAN or SYSTEM page, the display will default to the ENGINE page.
The oil temperature sensor is installed in the engine oil filter adapter
and provides a signal to the engine display that is processed and
shown as oil temperature. A red X through the indicator shows that the
indicating system is inoperative.

An EGT probe is installed in the transition of the turbocharger turbine
inlet and provides a signal to the engine display that is processed and
shown as T.I.T. on the EIS. A red X through the indicator shows that the

CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE
Cylinder head temperature is shown on the ENGINE page on the CHT
horizontal indicator. The gage range is from 100°F to 500°F, with a
green band from 200°F to 480°F and red line at 480°F. The white
pointer indicates relative CHT while the number inside of the pointer
identifies the hottest cylinder head. If a CHT probe or wire failure
occurs for the hottest CHT, the next hottest CHT will be displayed.
When the CHT is 480°F or hotter, the pointer will change to red and the
CHT label will change to red and flash to show that the CHT is greater
than the limit. If CHT becomes hotter than 480°F while on the LEAN or

NEW ENGINE BREAK-IN AND OPERATION
The engine run-in was accomplished at the factory and is ready for the
full range of use. It is suggested that cruising be accomplished at 65%
to 75% power as much as practicable until a total of 50 hours has
accumulated or oil consumption has stabilized. This will ensure proper
seating of the piston rings.
The airplane is delivered from the factory with corrosion preventive oil
in the engine. If, during the first 25 hours, oil must be added, use only
MIL-L- 22851 or SAE J1899 Ashless Dispersant Oil.

ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The engine utilizes a full pressure, wet sump type lubrication system
with aviation grade oil as the lubricant. The capacity of the engine
sump, located on the bottom of the engine, is eleven quarts with one
additional quart contained in the engine oil filter. Oil is drawn from the
sump through a filter screen on the end of a pickup tube to the engine
driven oil pump. Oil from the pump passes through a full-flow oil filter, a
pressure relief valve at the rear of the right oil gallery, and a
thermostatically controlled remote oil cooler. Oil from the remote cooler
is then circulated to the left oil gallery and propeller governor. The
engine parts are then lubricated by oil from the galleries. After
lubricating the engine, the oil returns to the sump by gravity. The filter
adapter in the full-flow filter is equipped with a bypass valve which will
cause lubricating oil to bypass the filter in the event the filter becomes
plugged, or the oil temperature is extremely cold.
An oil dipstick/filler tube is located on the upper right side of the engine
case. The dipstick and oil filler tube are accessed through a door
located on the right center portion of the upper engine cowling. The
engine should not be operated on less than six quarts of oil. To
minimize loss of oil through the breather, fill to eight quarts for normal
flights of less than three hours. For extended flight, fill to eleven quarts
(dipstick indication only). For engine oil grade and specifications, refer
to Section 8 of this POH.

IGNITION AND STARTER SYSTEM
Engine ignition is provided by two engine driven magnetos, and two
spark plugs in each cylinder. The left magneto fires the upper left and
lower right spark plugs, and the right magneto fires the lower left and
upper right spark plugs. Normal operation is conducted with both
magnetos due to the more complete burning of the fuel/air mixture with
dual ignition.
Ignition and starter operation is controlled by a rotary-type switch
located on the left switch and control panel. The switch is labeled
clockwise, OFF, R, L, BOTH, and START. The engine should be
operated on both magnetos (BOTH position) except for magneto
checks. The R and L positions are for checking purposes and
emergency use only. When the switch is rotated to the START position,
(with the MASTER switch in the ON position), the starter contactor is
closed and the starter, now energized, will crank the engine. When the
switch is released, it will automatically return to the BOTH position.

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
The engine air induction system receives ram air through an intake on
the lower front portion of the engine cowling. The intake is covered by
an air filter which removes dust and other foreign matter from the
induction air. Airflow passing through the filter enters an air box, which
is equipped with a spring-loaded alternate air door. If the air induction
filter should become blocked, suction created by the engine will open
the door and draw unfiltered air from inside the lower cowl area. An
open alternate air door will result in an approximate 10% power loss at
full throttle. After passing through the air box, induction air enters a
compressor then to a fuel/air control unit on top of the engine, and is
then ducted to the engine cylinders through intake manifold tubes.

EXHAUST SYSTEM
Exhaust gas from each cylinder passes through a riser or exhaust
collector assembly (on the left or right side below the engine) to a
turbocharger and overboard through a single tailpipe. Outside air is
supplied to a shroud constructed around the exhaust crossover pipe to
form a heating chamber. The air heated by the shroud is then supplied
to the cabin.

FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
The engine is equipped with a fuel injection system. The system is
comprised of an engine driven fuel pump, fuel/air control unit, fuel
manifold, fuel flow indicator, and air-bleed type injector nozzles.
Fuel is delivered by the engine driven fuel pump to the fuel/air control
unit. The fuel/air control unit correctly proportions the fuel flow to the
induction air flow. After passing through the control unit, induction air is
delivered to the cylinders through the intake manifold tubes and
metered fuel is delivered to a fuel manifold (flow divider). The fuel
manifold, through spring tension on a diaphragm and valve, evenly
distributes the fuel to an air-bleed type injector nozzle in the intake
valve chamber of each cylinder. A turbine-type fuel flow transducer
mounted between the fuel/air control unit and the fuel distribution unit
produces a digital signal that displays fuel flow on the EIS pages.

COOLING SYSTEM
Ram air for engine cooling enters through two intake openings in the
front of the engine cowling. The cooling air is directed from above the
engine, around the cylinders and other areas of the engine by baffling,
and then exits through cowl flaps on the lower aft edge of the cowling.
The cowl flaps are mechanically operated from the cabin by means of
the cowl flap control lever located on the right side of the control
pedestal and is labeled OPEN, COWL FLAPS, CLOSED. Any time the
control lever is repositioned, it must first be moved to the right to clear
the detent.
Before starting the engine, before takeoff and during high power
operation, the cowl flap control lever should be placed in the OPEN
position for maximum cooling. This is accomplished by moving the
control lever to the right to clear a detent, then moving the control lever
up to the OPEN position.
While in cruise flight, cowl flaps should be closed unless hot day
conditions require them to be adjusted to keep the CHT at
approximately two-thirds of the normal operating range (green band).
During extended descents, it may be necessary to completely close the
cowl flaps by pushing the cowl flap control lever down to the CLOSED
position.

TURBOCHARGING SYSTEM
Because the engine is turbocharged, some of its characteristics are
different from a normally aspirated engine. The following information
describes the system and points out some of the items that are affected
by turbocharging. Section 4 contains the normal operating procedures
for the turbocharged engine.
The following steps, when combined with the turbocharger system
schematic (Figure 7-5), provide a better understanding of how the
turbocharger system works. The steps follow the induction air as it
enters and passes through the engine until it is expelled as exhaust
gases.

ENGINE (Continued)
TURBOCHARGING SYSTEM (Continued)
1. Engine induction air is supplied through an opening in the lower
cowl, ducted through a air filter and into the compressor where it
is compressed.
2. The pressurized induction air then passes through the throttle
body and induction manifold into the cylinders.
3. The air and fuel are burned and exhausted through the turbine.
4. The exhaust gases drive the turbine which, in turn, drives the
compressor, thus completing the cycle.
The compressor has the capability of producing manifold pressure in
excess of the takeoff maximum of 39 in.hg. In order not to exceed 39
in.hg., a waste gate is used so that some of the exhaust will bypass the
turbine and be vented into the tailpipe.
It can be seen from studying Steps 1 through 4 that anything that
affects the flow of induction air into the compressor or the flow of
exhaust gases into the turbine will increase or decrease the speed of
the turbocharger. This resultant change in flow will have no effect on
the engine if the waste gate is still open because the waste gate
position is changed to hold compressor discharge pressure constant. A
waste gate controller automatically maintains maximum allowable
compressor discharge pressure any time the turbine and compressor
are capable of producing that pressure.
At high altitude, part throttle, or low RPM, the exhaust flow is not
capable of turning the turbine and compressor fast enough to maintain
maximum compressor discharge pressure, and the waste gate will
close to force all of the exhaust flow through the turbine.
When the waste gate is fully closed, any change in turbocharger speed
will mean a change in engine operation. Thus, any increase or
decrease in turbine speed will cause an increase or decrease in
manifold pressure and fuel flow. If turbine speed increases, the
manifold pressure increases; if the turbine speed decreases, the
manifold pressure decreases. Since the compression ratio approaches
3 to 1 at high altitude, any change in exhaust flow to the turbine or ram
induction air pressure will be magnified proportionally by the
compression ratio and the change in flow through the exhaust system.

MANIFOLD PRESSURE VARIATION WITH ENGINE RPM
When the waste gate is open, the turbocharged engine will react the
same as a normally aspirated engine when the engine RPM is varied.
That is, when the RPM is increased, the manifold pressure will
decrease slightly. When the engine RPM is decreased, the manifold
pressure will increase slightly.
However, when the waste gate is closed, manifold variation with engine
RPM is just opposite of the normally aspirated engine. An increase in
engine RPM will result in an increase in manifold pressure, and a
decrease in engine RPM will result in a decrease in manifold pressure.
MANIFOLD PRESSURE VARIATION WITH ALTITUDE
At full throttle, the turbocharger has the capability of maintaining the
maximum continuous manifold pressure of 39 in.hg. to well above
17,000 feet depending on engine and atmospheric conditions.
However, engine operating limitations establish the maximum manifold
pressure that may be used. Manifold pressure should be reduced
above 17,000 feet, as noted on the operating placard in the airplane
(subtract 1 in.hg. from 39 in.hg. for each 1000 feet above 17,000 feet).
At part throttle, the turbocharger is capable of maintaining cruise climb
power of 2400 RPM and 30 in.hg. from sea level to 22,000 feet in
standard temperatures, and from sea level to 17,000 feet under hot day
conditions without changing the throttle position, once the power setting
is established after takeoff. Under hot day conditions, this climb power
setting is maintained above 17,000 feet by advancing the throttle as
necessary to maintain 30 in.hg. in the same manner as a normally
aspirated engine during climb.

MANIFOLD PRESSURE VARIATION WITH AIRSPEED
When the waste gate is closed, manifold pressure will vary with
variations in airspeed. This is because the compressor side of the
turbocharger operates at pressure ratios of up to 3 to 1 and any change
in pressure at the compressor inlet is magnified at the compressor
outlet with a resulting effect on the exhaust flow and turbine side of the
turbocharger.
FUEL FLOW
PRESSURE

VARIATIONS

WITH

CHANGES

IN

MANIFOLD

The engine driven fuel pump output is regulated by engine speed and
compressor discharge pressure. Engine fuel flow is regulated by fuel
pump output and the metering effects of the throttle and mixture
control. When the waste gate is open, fuel flow will vary directly with
manifold pressure, engine speed, mixture, or throttle control position. In
this case, manifold pressure is controlled by throttle position and the
waste gate controller, while fuel flow varies with throttle movement and
manifold pressure.
When the waste gate is closed and manifold pressure changes are due
to turbocharger output, as discussed previously, fuel flow will follow
manifold pressure even though the throttle position is unchanged. This
means that fuel flow adjustments required of the pilot are minimized to
(1) small initial adjustments on takeoff or climb-out for the proper rich
climb setting, (2) lean-out in cruise, and (3) return to full rich position for
approach and landing.

MANIFOLD PRESSURE VARIATION WITH INCREASING OR
DECREASING FUEL FLOW
When the waste gate is open, movement of the mixture control has little
or no effect on the manifold pressure of the turbocharged engine.
When the waste gate is closed, any change in fuel flow to the engine
will have a corresponding change in manifold pressure. That is,
increasing the fuel flow will increase the manifold pressure and
decreasing the fuel flow will decrease the manifold pressure. This is
because an increased fuel flow to the engine increases the mass flow
of the exhaust. This turns the turbocharger faster, increasing the
induction air flow and raising the manifold pressure.
MOMENTARY OVERBOOST OF MANIFOLD PRESSURE
Under some circumstances (such as rapid throttle movement,
especially with cold oil), it is possible that the engine can be over
boosted slightly above the maximum takeoff manifold pressure of 39
in.hg. This would most likely be experienced during the takeoff roll or
during a change to full throttle operation in flight. The induction air
pressure relief valve will normally limit the overboost to 2 to 3 inches.
A slight overboost of 2 to 3 inches of manifold pressure is not
considered detrimental to the engine as long as it is momentary. No
corrective action is required when momentary overboost corrects itself
and is followed by normal engine operation. However, if overboosting of
this nature persists when oil temperature is normal or if the amount of
overboost tends to exceed 3 inches or more, the throttle should be
reduced to eliminate the overboost and the controller system, including
the waste gate and relief valve, should be checked for necessary
adjustment or replacement of components.

TURBOCHARGING SYSTEM (Continued)
ALTITUDE OPERATION
Because a turbocharged airplane will climb faster and higher than a
normally aspirated airplane, fuel vaporization may be encountered.
When fuel flow variations of ±1 GPH or more are observed (as a
nervous fuel flow needle), or if a full rich mixture setting doesn't provide
the desired fuel flow, placing the auxiliary fuel pump switch in the ON
position will control vapor. However, it will also increase fuel flow,
making it necessary to adjust the mixture control for the desired fuel
flow. The auxiliary fuel pump should be left on for the remainder of the
climb. It can be turned off whenever fuel flow will remain steady with it
off, and the mixture must be adjusted accordingly. The auxiliary fuel
pump should be turned off and the mixture reset prior to descent.
HIGH ALTITUDE ENGINE ACCELERATION
The engine will accelerate normally from idle to full throttle with full rich
mixture at any altitude below 22,000 feet. At higher altitudes, it is
usually necessary to lean the mixture to get smooth engine
acceleration from idle to maximum power. At altitudes above 25,000
feet, and with temperatures above standard, it takes up to two minutes
for the turbine to accelerate from idle to maximum RPM although
adequate power is available in 20 to 30 seconds.

PROPELLER
The airplane has an all metal, three-bladed, constant speed, governor
regulated propeller. A setting introduced into the governor with the
propeller control establishes the propeller speed, and thus the engine
speed to be maintained. The governor then controls flow of engine oil,
boosted to high pressure by the governing pump, to or from a piston in
the propeller hub. Oil pressure acting on the piston twists the blades
toward high pitch (low RPM). When oil pressure to the piston in the
propeller hub is relieved, centrifugal force, assisted by an internal
spring, twists the blades toward low pitch (high RPM).

PROPELLER (Continued)
A propeller control knob, located on the lower center instrument panel,
is used to set the propeller and control engine RPM as desired for
various flight conditions. The control knob is labeled PROPELLER,
PUSH INCR RPM. When the control knob is pushed in, blade pitch will
decrease, giving a higher RPM. When the control knob is pulled out,
the blade pitch increases, thereby decreasing RPM. The propeller
control knob is equipped with a vernier feature which allows slow or fine
RPM adjustments by rotating the knob clockwise to increase RPM, and
counterclockwise to decrease it. To make rapid or large adjustments,
depress the button on the end of the control knob and reposition the
control as desired.

PROPELLER HEAT
The propeller heat system provides a measure of protection for the
propeller blade surfaces if unexpected icing conditions are
encountered. The system is operated by a three-position switch labeled
PROP HEAT (TEST-ON-OFF) located on the switch panel. When the
switch is placed to the ON position, electric current flows to the
propeller heat timer, which cycles the current on and off for 90-second
periods to the heated boots located on each of the propeller blades.
The timer monitors the system current draw during the on periods and
checks the system for open and short circuit conditions. When the
system conditions are normal, a green PROP HEAT annunciator is
shown on the PFD. If the timer detects faulty system wiring or a heated
boot failure, it removes the current supply to the boots, and the green
PROP HEAT annunciator goes off and an amber PROP HEAT
annunciator comes on.
The timer will continue to monitor the status of the system during the
fault condition and will return the system to normal operation
automatically if the detected faults are cleared. When the system is on
and operating normally the monitor circuits of the timer can be tested by
placing the PROP HEAT switch in the TEST position. The test
simulates a propeller heat system fault and the timer will extinguish the
green PROP HEAT annunciator and an amber PROP HEAT
annunciator will come on. Upon release of the test switch the system
will return to normal operation.

FUEL SYSTEM
The airplane fuel system (Refer to Figure 7-7) consists of two vented
integral fuel tanks (one tank in each wing), two reservoir tanks
(underneath the cockpit floor), a four-position selector valve, an
electrically-driven auxiliary fuel pump, and a fuel strainer. The enginemounted portion of the system consists of the engine-driven fuel pump,
a fuel/air control unit, fuel flow transducer, a fuel distribution valve (flow
divider) and fuel injection nozzles.
The fuel system also incorporates a fuel return system that returns fuel
from the fuel/air control unit (servo) back to each integral wing tank.
The system includes a flexible fuel hose assembly between the servo
and the firewall. Aluminum fuel lines return the fuel to the top portion of
the selector valve and then to the airplane’s integral tanks. One drain is
added to properly drain the fuel return system.

FUEL DISTRIBUTION
Fuel flows by gravity from the two wing tanks through the fuel manifold
(aft pickup only), and to a four position selector valve. From the selector
valve, fuel flows through the auxiliary fuel pump, the fuel strainer, and
to the engine driven fuel pump. A portion of the fuel (approximately 7
GPH) is returned to the wing tank currently selected through the use of
the fuel return system. From the engine driven fuel pump, fuel is
delivered to the fuel/air control unit on the top of the engine. The fuel/air
control unit (fuel servo) meters fuel flow in proportion to induction air
flow. After passing through the control unit, metered fuel goes to a fuel
distribution valve (flow divider) located on top of the engine. From the
fuel distribution valve, individual fuel lines are routed to air bleed type
injector nozzles located in the intake chamber of each cylinder.

FUEL INDICATING SYSTEM
Fuel quantity is measured by two fuel quantity sensors, one in each fuel
tank, and is displayed on the EIS pages. The indicators are marked in
gallons of fuel (GAL). An empty tank is displayed on the fuel quantity
indicator (FUEL QTY GAL) as a red line on the far left of the indicator
scale, and the number 0. When an indicator shows an empty tank,
approximately 2.5 gallons of unusable fuel remain in the tank. The
indicators should not be relied upon for accurate readings during skids,
slips or unusual attitudes.

The fuel quantity indicator shows the fuel available in the tank up to the
limit of the sensor measurement range. At this level, additional fuel may
be added to completely fill the tank, but no additional movement of the
indicator will result. The limit for sensor measurement range is
approximately 35 gallons and is indicated by the maximum limit of the
green band. When the fuel level decreases below the maximum limit of
the fuel sensor, the fuel quantity indicator will display fuel quantity
measured in each tank. A visual check of each wing tank fuel level
must be performed prior to each flight. Compare the visual fuel level
and indicated fuel quantity to accurately estimate usable fuel.
The fuel quantity indicators detect low fuel conditions and incorrect
sensor outputs. When fuel quantity is less than 8 gallons indicated (and
remains less than this level for more than 60 seconds), LOW FUEL L
(left) and/or LOW FUEL R (right) will be displayed in amber on the PFD
and a tone will sound. The fuel quantity indicator pointer(s) and
indicator label will change from white to steady amber. When fuel
quantity reaches the calibrated usable fuel empty level, the LOW FUEL
L and/or LOW FUEL R remain amber and the indicator pointer(s) and
label change to flashing red.
NOTE
Takeoff is not recommended if both fuel quantity indicator
pointers are in the yellow band range and/or amber LOW
FUEL L or LOW FUEL R annunciator is displayed on the
PFD.
In addition to low fuel annunciation, the warning logic is designed to
report failures with each sensor. If the system detects a failure, the
affected fuel indicator will display a red X. A red X through the top part
of the indicator indicates a failure associated with the left fuel tank. A
red X through the bottom part of the indicator indicates a failure
associated with the right fuel tank.

using information from the fuel flow transducer signal.
For fuel remaining information, a count down fuel totalizer function is
provided on the EIS System page as GAL REM. This digital indicator
shows calculated fuel remaining since last GAL REM pilot adjustment.
To adjust GAL REM, the EIS SYSTEM page must be active and the
GAL REM softkey must be selected followed by the appropriate
quantity adjustment softkeys. Refer to the Garmin G1000 CRG for
details for resetting and adjusting fuel calculations. GAL REM is
calculated after pilot adjustment using information from the fuel flow

GAL USED and GAL REM provide no indication of the
actual amount of fuel remaining in each tank and should
only be used in conjunction with other fuel management
procedures to estimate total fuel remaining.

AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP OPERATION
The auxiliary fuel pump is used primarily for priming the engine before
starting. Priming is accomplished through the fuel injection system. The
engine may be flooded if the auxiliary FUEL PUMP switch is
accidentally placed in the ON position for prolonged periods, with
MASTER Switch ON and mixture rich, with the engine stopped.
The auxiliary fuel pump is also used for vapor suppression in hot
weather. Normally, momentary use will be sufficient for vapor
suppression; however, continuous operation is permissible if required.
Turning on the auxiliary fuel pump with a normally operating engine
driven fuel pump will result in only a very minor enrichment of the
mixture.
It is not necessary to operate the auxiliary fuel pump during normal
takeoff and landing, since gravity and the engine driven fuel pump will
supply adequate fuel flow. In the event of failure of the engine driven
fuel pump, use of the auxiliary fuel pump will provide sufficient fuel to
maintain flight at maximum continuous power.
Under hot day, high altitude conditions, or conditions during a climb that
are conducive to fuel vapor formation, it may be necessary to utilize the
auxiliary fuel pump to attain or stabilize the fuel flow required for the
type of climb being performed. In this case, turn the auxiliary fuel pump
on, and adjust the mixture to the desired fuel flow. If fluctuating fuel flow
(greater than 1 GPH) is observed during climb or cruise at high
altitudes on hot days, place the auxiliary fuel pump switch in the ON
position to clear the fuel system of vapor. The auxiliary fuel pump may
be operated continuously in cruise.

FUEL SYSTEM (Continued)
FUEL RETURN SYSTEM
A fuel return system was incorporated to improve engine operation
during extended idle operation in hot weather environments. The major
components of the system include an orifice fitting located in the top of
the fuel servo, a dual stack fuel selector and a drain valve assembly.
The system is designed to return fuel/vapor back to the main fuel tanks
at approximately 7 GPH. The dual stack fuel selector ensures that fuel/
vapor returns only to the fuel tank that is selected as the feed tank. For
example, if the fuel selector is positioned to use fuel from the left fuel
tank, the fuel return system is returning fuel/vapor to the left fuel tank
only.

FUEL VENTING
Fuel system venting is essential to system operation. Complete
blockage of the fuel venting system will result in decreasing fuel flow
and eventual engine stoppage. The fuel venting system consists of an
interconnecting vent line between the fuel tanks and check valve
equipped overboard vents in each fuel tank. The overboard vents
protrude from the bottom surface of the wings behind the wing struts,
slightly below the upper attach points of the struts. The fuel filler caps
are vacuum vented; the fuel filler cap vents will open and allow air to
enter the fuel tanks in case the overboard vents become blocked.

REDUCED TANK CAPACITY
The airplane may be serviced to a reduced capacity to permit heavier
cabin loadings. This is accomplished by filling each tank to the bottom
edge of the fuel filler indicator tab, thus giving a reduced fuel load of
32.0 gallons usable in each tank.

FUEL SYSTEM (Continued)
FUEL SELECTOR VALVE
The fuel selector is a four-position selector valve, labeled BOTH,
RIGHT, LEFT and OFF. The selector handle must be pushed down
before it can be rotated from RIGHT or LEFT to OFF. The top portion of
the valve is the return portion of the valve, while the bottom portion of
the valve is the supply portion. Each side is isolated from the other.
The fuel selector valve should be in the BOTH position for takeoff,
climb, landing, and maneuvers that involve prolonged slips or skids of
more than 30 seconds. Operation on either LEFT or RIGHT fuel tank is
reserved for level cruising flight only.
NOTE

•

When the fuel selector valve is placed in the BOTH
position, while in cruise flight, unequal fuel flow from
each tank may occur if the wings are not maintained
exactly level. Unequal fuel flow can be detected by one
fuel tank indicating more fuel than the other on the L
FUEL and R FUEL indicators. The resulting fuel
imbalance can be corrected by turning the fuel selector
valve to the fuel tank indicating the highest fuel quantity.
O nc e t he L F U E L a n d R F U E L i n d i c a t o r s h a v e
equalized, position the fuel selector valve to the BOTH
position.

•

It is not practical to measure the time required to
consume all of the fuel in one tank, and, after switching
to the opposite tank, expect an equal duration from the
remaining fuel. The airspace in both fuel tanks is
interconnected by a vent line and, therefore, some
sloshing of fuel between tanks can be expected when
the tanks are nearly full and the wings are not level.

•

When the fuel tanks are 1/4 tank or less, prolonged
uncoordinated flight, such as slips or skids, can uncover
the fuel tank outlets causing fuel starvation and engine
stoppage. Therefore, if operating with one fuel tank dry
or operating on either LEFT or RIGHT tank with 1/4 tank
or less, do not allow the airplane to remain in
uncoordinated flight for periods in excess of 30 seconds.

FUEL SYSTEM (Continued)
FUEL DRAIN VALVES
The fuel system is equipped with drain valves to provide a means for
the examination of fuel in the system for contamination and grade. The
system should be examined before each flight and after each refueling,
by using the sampler cup provided to drain fuel from each wing tank
sump, the fuel return side sump, the fuel selector drain and the fuel
strainer sump. If any evidence of fuel contamination is found, it must be
eliminated in accordance with the preflight inspection checklist and the
discussion in Section 8. If takeoff weight limitations for the next flight
permit, the fuel tanks should be filled after each flight to prevent
condensation.

BRAKE SYSTEM
The airplane has a single-disc, hydraulically-actuated brake on each
main landing gear wheel. Each brake is connected, by a hydraulic line,
to a master cylinder attached to each of the pilot's rudder pedals. The
brakes are operated by applying pressure to the top of either the left
(pilot's) or right (copilot's) set of rudder pedals, which are
interconnected. When the airplane is parked, both main wheel brakes
may be set by utilizing the parking brake which is operated by a handle
under the left side of the instrument panel. To apply the parking brake,
set the brakes with the rudder pedals, pull the handle aft, and rotate it
90° down.
For maximum brake life, keep the brake system properly maintained,
and minimize brake usage during taxi operations and landings.
Some of the symptoms of impending brake failure are: gradual
decrease in braking action after brake application, noisy or dragging
brakes, soft or spongy pedals, and excessive travel and weak braking
action. If any of these symptoms appear, the brake system is in need of
immediate attention. If, during taxi or landing roll, braking action
decreases, let up on the pedals and then reapply the brakes with heavy
pressure. If the brakes become spongy or pedal travel increases,
pumping the pedals should build braking pressure. If one brake
becomes weak or fails, use the other brake sparingly while using
opposite rudder, as required, to offset the good brake.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The airplane is equipped with a 28-volt direct current (DC) electrical
system (Refer to Figure 7-8). A belt-driven 95-ampere alternator
powers the system. A 24-volt main storage battery is located forward of
the firewall. The alternator and main battery are controlled through the
MASTER switch found near the top of the pilot's switch panel.
Power is supplied to most electrical circuits through two primary buses
(ELECTRICAL BUS 1 and ELECTRICAL BUS 2), with an essential bus
and a crossfeed bus connected between the two primary buses to
support essential equipment.
The system is equipped with a secondary or standby battery located
between the firewall and the instrument panel. The STBY BATT switch
controls power to or from the standby battery. The standby battery is
available to supply power to the essential bus in the event that
alternator and main battery power sources have both failed.
The primary buses are supplied with power whenever the MASTER
switch is turned on, and are not affected by starter or external power
usage. Each primary bus is also connected to an avionics bus through
a circuit breaker and the AVIONICS BUS 1 and BUS 2 switches. Each
avionics bus is powered when the MASTER switch and the
corresponding AVIONICS switch are in the ON position.

OR APPLYING AN EXTERNAL POWER SOURCE.
The airplane includes a power distribution module, located on the left
forward side of the firewall, to house all the relays used in the airplane
electrical system. The Alternator Control Unit (ACU), main battery
current sensor, and the external power connector are also housed
within the module.

MASTER SWITCH
The MASTER switch is a two-pole, rocker-type switch. The BAT side of
the switch controls the main battery electrical power to the airplane.
The ALT side of the switch controls the alternator system.
In normal operation, both sides of the switch (ALT and BAT) are ON
simultaneously; however, the BAT side of the switch may be selected
separately as necessary. The ALT side of the switch can not be set to
ON without the BAT side of the switch also being set to ON.
If the alternator system fails, the MASTER switch may be set in the
OFF position to preserve main battery capacity for later in the flight.
With the MASTER switch OFF and the STBY BATT switch in the ARM
position, the standby battery will power the essential bus for a limited
time. Time remaining may be estimated by monitoring essential bus
voltage. At 20 Volts, the standby battery has little or no capacity
remaining.

STANDBY BATTERY SWITCH
The STBY BATT master switch is a three position (ARM-OFF-TEST)
switch that tests and controls the standby battery system. The energy
level of the battery shall be checked before starting the engine (Refer to
Section 4) by placing the switch in the momentary TEST position and
observing the correct illumination of the TEST lamp found to the right of
the switch. Energy level tests after starting engine are not
recommended.
Placing the switch in the ARM position during the engine start cycle
allows the standby battery to help regulate and filter essential bus
voltage during the start cycle. The switch is set to the ARM position
during normal flight operation to allow the standby battery to charge
and to be ready to power the essential bus in the event of alternator
and main battery failure. Placing the switch in the OFF position
disconnects the standby battery from the essential bus. Operation with
the STBY BATT switch in the OFF position prevents the standby battery
from charging and from automatically providing power should an
electrical system failure occur.

AVIONICS SWITCH
The AVIONICS switch is a two-pole rocker-type switch that controls
electrical power to AVIONICS BUS 1 and BUS 2. Placing either side of
the rocker switch in the ON position supplies power to the
corresponding avionics bus. Both sides of the AVIONICS switch should
be placed in the OFF position before turning the MASTER switch ON or
OFF, starting the engine, or applying an external power source.

AND

LOW VOLTAGE ANNUNCIATION
A signal from the ACU, located inside the power distribution module,
provides the trigger for a red LOW VOLTS annunciation shown on the
PFD. LOW VOLTS is displayed when the main bus voltage measured
in the power distribution module is below 24.5 volts. The LOW VOLTS
warning annunciation is an indication that the alternator is not supplying
the power that is required by the airplane. If the conditions causing the
LOW VOLTS warning can not be resolved, nonessential electrical loads
should be eliminated and the flight should be terminated as soon as
practicable.
NOTE
During low RPM operation, with a high electrical load on the
system, such as during a low RPM taxi, the LOW VOLTS
annunciation may come on, the bus voltage values may
turn red, and main battery ammeter discharge indications
may occur. Under these conditions, increase RPM or
decrease electrical loads to reduce demand on the battery.
In the event an overvoltage condition (or other alternator fault) occurs,
the ACU will automatically open the ALT FIELD circuit breaker,
removing alternator field current and stopping alternator output. The
main battery will then supply current to the electrical system as shown
by a discharge (negative number) on the M BATT ammeter. The LOW
VOLTS annunciation will come on when the system voltage drops
below 24.5 volts. Set the ALT FIELD circuit breaker to the ON position
(push in) to energize the ACU. If the warning annunciation goes out
and the main battery (M BATT) ammeter indicates positive current,
normal alternator charging has resumed. If the annunciation comes on
again, or the ALT FIELD circuit breaker opens again, an alternator
malfunction has occurred. If the circuit breaker opens again, do not
SET it to the ON position again. Have a qualified technician determine
the cause and correct the malfunction. Turn off nonessential electrical
loads and land as soon as practicable.

INTERIOR LIGHTING
Interior lighting is controlled by a combination of dimmable crew area
flood lighting, internally lit switch and circuit breaker panels, avionics
panel lighting, standby instrument lighting, pedestal lighting, pilot
control wheel map lighting and passenger area flood lighting.
Flood lighting is accomplished using two dimmable lights in the front
crew area and two dome lights in the rear passenger area. These lights
are contained in the overhead console, and are controlled by dimmer
controls for the front flood lights, and an on-off type push button
switches for the rear dome lights. The front flood lights can be rotated
to provide directional lighting for the pilot and front passenger. The rear
dome lights provide for general illumination in the rear cabin area. Rear
dome lights and courtesy lights share the same switch.
Lighting of the switch panel, circuit breaker panel, engine controls and
environmental control panel is accomplished by using internally lighted
LED lighted panels. Rotating the SW/CB PANELS dimmer, found on
the switch panel in the DIMMING group, controls the lighting level for
both panels. Rotating the dimmer counterclockwise decreases light
intensity from the highest level to off.
Pedestal lighting consists of a single hooded light located above the

Avionics panel lighting consists of the PFD and MFD bezel and display
lighting and audio panel lighting. Rotating the AVIONICS dimmer, found
on the switch panel in the DIMMING group, controls the lighting level.
Positioning the dimmer control in the off position (fully
counterclockwise) causes the avionics displays to use internal
photocells to automatically control the lighting levels. This is the
recommended use of the avionics lighting for all day and lower lighting
levels where lighting of the avionics bezels and keys is not required. In
low to night lighting levels rotating the AVIONICS dimmer control
clockwise from the off position places all avionics lighting level control
to the AVIONICS dimmer control. This is the recommended use of
avionics lighting for night and low lighting conditions to allow the pilot
control of the avionics illumination levels as dark adaptation occurs.
Rotating the STBY IND dimmer, found on the switch panel in the
DIMMING group, controls lighting of the standby airspeed indicator,
attitude indicator, altimeter, non-stabilized magnetic compass, and
overhead oxygen console. Rotating the dimmer counterclockwise
decreases light intensity from the highest level to off.
Pilot's chart (map) lighting is accomplished by use of a rheostat and a
light assembly, both found on the lower surface of the pilot's control
wheel. The light provides downward illumination from the bottom of the
control wheel to the pilot's lap area. To operate the light, first turn the
NAV light switch ON, and then adjust the map light intensity using the
knurled rheostat knob. Rotating the dimmer clockwise (when facing up)
increases light intensity, and rotating the dimmer counterclockwise
decreases light intensity.
Regardless of the light system in question, the most probable cause of
a light failure is a burned out bulb. However, in the event any lighting
systems fails to come on, check the appropriate circuit breaker. For the
interior lights the PANEL LTS circuit breaker, and for the exterior lights
the associated light function circuit breaker (i.e. landing light, LAND LT
circuit breaker). If the circuit breaker has opened, and there is no
obvious indication of a short circuit (smoke or odor), turn the affected
lights OFF, reset the circuit breaker, and turn the lights ON again. If the
circuit breaker opens again, do not reset until maintenance has been
performed.

CABIN HEATING, VENTILATING AND DEFROSTING
SYSTEM
The temperature and volume of airflow into the cabin can be regulated
by manipulation of the push-pull CABIN HEAT, CABIN AIR and AUX
CABIN AIR controls (Refer to Figure 7-9). When partial cabin heat is
desired, blending warm and cold air will result in improved ventilation
and heat distribution throughout the cabin. Additional outside air for
summer ventilation is provided through the heat and vent system by
operation of the push-pull AUX CABIN AIR control knob. All three

Front cabin heat and ventilating air is supplied by outlet holes spaced
across a cabin manifold just forward of the pilot's and front passenger's
feet. Rear cabin heat and air is supplied by three ducts from the
manifold, one outlet at each front doorpost area at floor level and one
extending under the center of the cabin floor to an outlet in the floor
behind the pilot and front passenger's seats. The cabin floor outlet is
flush mounted, with a removable airflow diverter. Windshield defrost air
is also supplied by a duct from the cabin manifold to an outlet on top of
the glareshield; therefore, the temperature of the defrosting air is the
same as heated cabin air. A push-pull control knob, labeled DEFROST,
regulates the volume of air to the windshield. Pull the DEFROST knob
out to direct air towards the windshield and push the knob in to direct
air away from the windshield.
Separate adjustable ventilators supply additional air; one near each
upper corner of the windshield supplies air for the pilot and front
passenger, and two ventilators are available for the rear cabin area to
supply air to the rear seat passengers. There are additional ventilators
located in various positions in the cockpit.

OXYGEN SYSTEM
A six-place oxygen system provides the supplementary oxygen
necessary for continuous flight at high altitude. In this system, a 76
cubic foot oxygen cylinder, located in the fuselage tailcone, supplies the
oxygen. Cylinder pressure is reduced to an operating pressure of 70
PSI by a pressure regulator attached to the cylinder. A shutoff valve is
included as part of the regulator assembly. An oxygen cylinder filler
valve is located on the left side of the fuselage tailcone (under a cover
plate). Cylinder pressure is indicated by a pressure gage located in the
overhead oxygen console above the pilot's and front passenger’s
seats.
Six oxygen outlets are provided; two in the overhead oxygen console
and four in the cabin ceiling just above the side windows (one at each
of the rear seating positions). One permanent, microphone-equipped
mask is provided for the pilot, and five disposable type masks are
provided for the passengers. All masks are the partial-breathing type,
equipped with vinyl plastic hoses and flow indicators.

with a microphone to facilitate use of the radio while using
oxygen. To connect the oxygen mask microphone, plug the
mask lead into the appropriate outlet in place of the headset
microphone lead. A switch is incorporated on the left hand
control wheel to operate the microphone.
A remote shutoff valve control, located adjacent to the pilot's oxygen
outlet in the overhead oxygen console, is used to shut off the supply of
oxygen to the system when not in use. The control is mechanically
connected to the shutoff valve at the cylinder. With the exception of the
shutoff function, the system is completely automatic and requires no
manual regulation for change of altitude.

OXYGEN SYSTEM (Continued)
The Oxygen Duration Chart (Figure 7-10) should be used in
determining the usable duration (in hours) of the oxygen supply in your
airplane. The following procedure outlines the method of finding the
duration from the chart.
1. Note the available oxygen pressure shown on the pressure
gage.
2. Locate this pressure on the scale on the left side of the chart,
then go across the chart horizontally to the right until you
intersect the line representing the number of persons making
the flight. After intersecting the line, drop down vertically to the
bottom of the chart and read the duration in hours given on the
scale.
3. As an example of the above procedure, 1400 PSI of pressure
will safely sustain the pilot only for 6 hours and 20 minutes. The
same pressure will sustain the pilot and three passengers for
approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes.
NOTE
The Oxygen Duration Chart is based on a standard
configuration oxygen system having one red color coded
hose assembly for the pilot and orange color coded hoses
for the passengers. If red color coded hoses are provided
for pilot and passengers, it will be necessary to compute
new oxygen duration figures due to the greater
c on s um pt i on o f o x yg en w i t h t h es e h os e s . T hi s i s
accomplished by computing the total duration available to
the pilot only (from PILOT ONLY line on chart), then
dividing this duration by the number of persons (pilot and
passengers) using oxygen.
When ready to use the oxygen system, proceed as follows:
1. Mask and Hose - SELECT (adjust mask to face and adjust
metallic nose strap for snug mask fit)

mask.
5. Delivery Hose - UNPLUG FROM OUTLET (when discontinuing
use of oxygen)
NOTE
This automatically stops the flow of oxygen.
6. Oxygen Supply Control Lever - OFF (when oxygen is no longer
required)
For FAA requirements concerning supplemental oxygen, Refer to 14
CFR 91.211.
It is recommended that supplemental oxygen be used by all occupants
when cruising above 12,500 feet. It is often advisable to use oxygen at
altitudes lower than 12,500 feet under conditions of night flying, fatigue,
or periods of physiological or emotional disturbances. Also, habitual
and excessive use of tobacco or alcohol will usually necessitate the use
of oxygen at less than 10,000 feet.

PITOT-STATIC SYSTEM AND INSTRUMENTS
The pitot-static system uses a heated total pressure (pitot) head
mounted on the lower surface of the left wing, external static ports
mounted on both sides of the forward fuselage and associated
plumbing to connect the air data computer and the conventional pitotstatic instruments to the sources.
The heated pitot system uses an electrical heating element built in the
body of the pitot head. The PITOT HEAT control switch is found on the
switch panel below the lower left corner of the PFD. The PITOT HEAT
circuit breaker is found on the circuit breaker panel at the lower left side
of the pilot panel.
A static pressure alternate source valve (ALT STATIC AIR) is located
adjacent to the throttle control. The ALT STATIC AIR valve provides
static pressure from inside the cabin if the external static pressure
source becomes blocked.
If erroneous instrument readings are suspected due to water or ice in
the pressure line going to the standard external static pressure source,
the alternate static source valve should be pulled on.
Pressures within the cabin will vary with open heaters/vents and
windows. Refer to Section 5, Figure 5-1 (Sheet 2), for the Airspeed
Calibration, Alternate Static Source correction chart and Figure 5-2 for
the Altimeter Correction, Alternate Static Source correction chart.

STALL WARNING SYSTEM
The airplane is equipped with a vane-type stall warning system
consisting of an inlet in the leading edge of the left wing, which is
electrically connected to a stall warning horn located in the headliner
above the left cabin door. A 5-amp push-to-reset circuit breaker labeled
WARN, on the left side of the circuit breaker panel, protects the stall
warning system. The vane in the wing senses the change in airflow
over the wing, and operates the warning horn at airspeeds between 5
and 10 knots above the stall in all configurations.
The airplane has a heated stall warning system, the vane and sensor
unit in the wing leading edge is equipped with a heating element. The
heated part of the system is operated by the PITOT HEAT switch, and
is protected by the PITOT HEAT circuit breaker.
The stall warning system should be checked during the preflight
inspection by momentarily turning on the MASTER switch and
actuating the vane in the wing. The system is operational if the warning
horn sounds as the vane is pushed upward.

STANDARD AVIONICS
The Garmin G1000 Avionics System is an integrated flight control and
navigation system. The system combines primary flight instruments,
communications, airplane system information and navigational
information all displayed on two color displays. The G1000 system
consists of the following pieces of equipment:

GARMIN DISPLAY UNITS (GDU)
Two identical units are mounted on the instrument panel. One, located
in front of the pilot, is configured as a PFD. A second panel, located to
the right, is configured as a MFD.
The PFD displays roll and pitch information, heading and course
navigation information, plus altitude, airspeed and vertical speed
information to the pilot. The PFD also controls and displays all
communication and navigation frequencies as well as displaying
warning/status annunciations of airplane systems.
The MFD displays a large scalable, moving map that corresponds to
the airplane's current location. Data from other components of the
system can be overlaid on this map. Location and direction of
movement of nearby aircraft, lightning and weather information can all
be displayed on the MFD. The MFD is also the principle display for all
of the engine, fuel, and electrical system parameters.
The reversionary mode places the flight information and basic engine
information on both the PFD and the MFD. This feature allows the pilot
full access to all necessary information should either of the display
screens malfunction.

When the CO detection system senses a CO level of 50 parts-permillion (PPM) by volume or greater the alarm turns on a flashing
warning annunciation, CO LVL HIGH, in the annunciation window on
the PFD with a continuous tone until the PFD softkey below WARNING
is pushed. It then remains on steady until the CO level drops below 50
PPM and automatically resets the alarm.
If the CO system detects a problem within the system that requires
service, a CO DET SRVC message is displayed in the alerts window of
the PFD. If there is an interface problem between the G1000 system
and the CO system a CO DET FAIL message is displayed in the alerts
window of the PFD.

SECTION 8
AIRPLANE HANDLING, SERVICE
AND MAINTENANCE

INTRODUCTION
This section contains factory recommended procedures for proper
ground handling and routine care and servicing of your airplane. It also
identifies certain inspection and maintenance requirements which must
be followed if your airplane is to retain that new airplane performance
and dependability. It is important to follow a planned schedule of
lubrication and preventive maintenance based on climatic and flying
conditions encountered in your local area.
Keep in touch with your local Cessna Service Station and take
advantage of their knowledge and experience. Your Cessna Service
Station knows your airplane and how to maintain it, and will remind you
when lubrications and oil changes are necessary, as well as other
seasonal and periodic services.
The airplane should be regularly inspected and maintained in
accordance with information found in the airplane maintenance manual
and in company issued service bulletins and service newsletters. All
service bulletins pertaining to the airplane by serial number should be
accomplished and the airplane should receive repetitive and required
inspections. Cessna does not condone modifications, whether by
Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) or otherwise, unless these
certificates are held and/or approved by Cessna. Other modifications
may void warranties on the airplane since Cessna has no way of
knowing the full effect on the overall airplane. Operation of an airplane
that has been modified may be a risk to the occupants, and operating
procedures and performance data set forth in the POH may no longer
be considered accurate for the modified airplane.

Plate, which is installed on the lower part of the left forward doorpost,
contains a code describing the exterior paint combination of the
airplane. The code may be used in conjunction with an applicable
Illustrated Parts Catalog if finish and trim information is needed.

CESSNA OWNER ADVISORIES
Cessna Owner Advisories are sent to Cessna Aircraft FAA Registered
owners of record at no charge to inform them about mandatory and/or
beneficial airplane service requirements and product changes. Copies
of the actual bulletins are available from Cessna Service Stations and
Cessna Propeller Aircraft Customer Services.

UNITED STATES AIRPLANE OWNERS
If your airplane is registered in the U.S., appropriate Cessna Owner
Advisories will be mailed to you automatically according to the latest
airplane registration name and address which you have provided to the
FAA. Therefore, it is important that you provide correct and up to date
mailing information to the FAA.
If you require a duplicate Owner Advisory to be sent to an address
different from the FAA aircraft registration address, please complete
and return an Owner Advisory Application (otherwise no action is
required on your part).

INTERNATIONAL AIRPLANE OWNERS
To receive Cessna Owner Advisories, please complete and return an
Owner Advisory Application.
Receipt of a valid Owner Advisory Application will establish your
Cessna Owner Advisory service for one year, after which you will be
sent a renewal notice. It is important that you respond promptly to
update your address for this critical service.

AIRPLANE INSPECTION PERIODS
FAA REQUIRED INSPECTIONS
As required by U.S. Federal Aviation Regulations, all civil aircraft of
U.S. registry must undergo a complete inspection (annual) each twelve
calendar months. In addition to the required annual inspection, aircraft
operated commercially (for hire) must have a complete inspection
every 100 hours of operation.
The FAA may require other inspections by the issuance of
airworthiness directives applicable to the airplane, engine, propeller
and components. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to ensure
compliance with all applicable airworthiness directives, and when the
inspections are repetitive, to take appropriate steps to prevent
inadvertent noncompliance.

CESSNA INSPECTION PROGRAMS
In lieu of the 100 hour and annual inspection requirements, an airplane
may be inspected in accordance with a Progressive Care Inspection
Program or a PhaseCard Inspection Program. Both programs offer
systems which allow the work load to be divided into smaller operations
that can be accomplished in shorter time periods.
The Cessna Progressive Care Inspection Program allows an airplane
to be inspected and maintained in four operations. The four operations
are recycled each 200 hours and are recorded in a specially provided
Aircraft Inspection Log as each operation is conducted.
The PhaseCard Inspection Program offers a parallel system for highutilization flight operations (approximately 600 flight hours per year).
This system utilizes 50 hour intervals (Phase 1 and Phase 2) to inspect
high-usage systems and components. At 12 months or 600 flight hours,
whichever occurs first, the airplane undergoes a complete (Phase 3)
inspection.
Regardless of the inspection method selected, the owner should keep
in mind that 14 CFR 43 and 14 CFR 91 establishes the requirement
that properly certified agencies or personnel accomplish all required
FAA inspections and most of the manufacturer recommended
inspections.

CESSNA CUSTOMER CARE PROGRAM
Specific benefits and provisions of the Cessna Warranty plus other
important benefits for you are contained in your Customer Care
Program Handbook supplied with your airplane. The Customer Care
Program Handbook should be thoroughly reviewed and kept in the
airplane at all times.
You will also want to return to your Cessna Service Station either at 50
hours for your first Progressive Care Operation, or at 100 hours for your
first 100 hour inspection depending on which program you choose to
establish for your airplane. While these important inspections will be
performed for you by any Cessna Service Station, in most cases you
will prefer to have the Cessna Service Station from whom you
purchased the airplane accomplish this work.

PILOT CONDUCTED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
A certified pilot who owns or operates an airplane not used as an air
carrier is authorized by 14 CFR 43 to perform limited maintenance on
his airplane. Refer to 14 CFR 43 for a list of the specific maintenance
operations which are allowed.
NOTE
Pilots operating airplanes of other than U.S. registry should
refer to the regulations of the country of certification for
information on preventive maintenance that may be
performed by pilots.
A Maintenance Manual must be obtained prior to performing any
preventive maintenance to ensure that proper procedures are followed.
A Cessna Service Station should be contacted for further information or
for required maintenance which must be accomplished by appropriately
licensed personnel.

SECTION 8
AIRPLANE HANDLING, SERVICE
AND MAINTENANCE

ALTERATIONS OR REPAIRS
It is essential that the FAA be contacted prior to any alterations on the
airplane to ensure that airworthiness of the airplane is not violated.
Alterations or repairs to the airplane must be accomplished by licensed
personnel, utilizing only FAA Approved components and FAA Approved
data, such as Cessna Service Bulletins.

GROUND HANDLING
TOWING
The airplane is most easily and safely maneuvered by hand with the
tow bar attached to the nosewheel (the tow bar is stowed on the side of
the baggage area). When towing with a vehicle, do not exceed the
nose gear turning angle of 35° either side of center, or damage to the
nose landing gear will result.
CAUTION
REMOVE ANY INSTALLED RUDDER LOCK BEFORE
TOWING.
If the airplane is towed or pushed over a rough surface during
hangaring, watch that the normal cushioning action of the nose strut
does not cause excessive vertical movement of the tail and the
resulting contact with low hangar doors or structure. A flat nose tire or
deflated strut will also increase tail height.

PARKING
When parking the airplane, head into the wind and set the parking
brake. Do not set the parking brake during cold weather when
accumulated moisture may freeze the brakes, or when the brakes are
overheated. Install the control wheel lock and chock the wheels. In
severe weather and high wind conditions, tie the airplane down as
outlined in the following paragraph.

GROUND HANDLING (Continued)
TIEDOWN
Proper tiedown procedure is the best precaution against damage to the
parked airplane by gusty or strong winds. To tiedown the airplane
securely, proceed as follows:
1. Set the parking brake and install the control wheel lock.
2. Install a surface control lock over the fin and rudder.
3. Tie sufficiently strong ropes or chains (700 pounds tensile
strength) to the wing, tail and nose tiedown fittings and secure
each rope or chain to a ramp tiedown.
4. Install a pitot tube cover.

JACKING
When a requirement exists to jack the entire airplane off the ground, or
when wing jack points are used in the jacking operation, refer to the
Maintenance Manual for specific procedures and equipment required.
Individual main gear may be jacked by using the jack pad which is
incorporated in the main landing gear strut step bracket. When using
the individual gear strut jack pad, flexibility of the gear strut will cause
the main wheel to slide inboard as the wheel is raised, tilting the jack.
The jack must then be lowered for a second jacking operation. Do not
jack both main wheels simultaneously using the individual main gear
jack pads.

GROUND HANDLING

(Continued)

JACKING (Continued)
To assist in raising and holding the nosewheel off the ground, ground
anchors should be utilized at the tail tiedown point.
NOTE
Ensure that the nose will be held off the ground under all
conditions by means of suitable stands or supports under
weight supporting bulkheads near the nose of the airplane.

LEVELING
Longitudinal leveling of the airplane is accomplished by placing a level
on leveling screws located on the left side of the tailcone. Deflate the
nose tire and/or lower or raise the nose strut to properly center the
bubble in the level. Corresponding points on both upper door sills may
be used to level the airplane laterally.

FLYABLE STORAGE
Engines in airplanes that are flown every 30 days or less may not
achieve normal service life because of internal corrosion. Corrosion
occurs when moisture from the air and the products of combustion
combine to attack cylinder walls and bearing surfaces during periods
when the airplane is not flown.
The minimum recommended operating frequency for the engine is one
continuous flight hour (not counting taxi, takeoff and landing time) with
oil temperatures of 165°F to 200°F every 30 days or less (depending on
location and storage conditions). Airplanes operated close to oceans,
lakes, rivers and in humid regions are in greater need of engine
preservation than airplanes operated in arid regions. Appropriate
engine preservation procedures must be practiced by the owner or
operator of the airplane based on present environmental conditions and
the frequency of airplane activity.
NOTE
The engine manufacturer does not recommend pulling the
engine through by hand during storage periods.

GROUND HANDLING (Continued)
FLYABLE STORAGE (Continued)
If the airplane is to remain inactive for more than 30 days, consult the
latest revision of Textron Lycoming Service Letter L180
(www.lycoming.textron.com).
It is recommended when storing the airplane for any period of time to
keep fuel tanks full to minimize condensation in tanks. Keep the battery
fully charged to prevent the electrolyte from freezing in cold weather.
Refer to the Maintenance Manual for proper airplane storage
procedures.

SERVICING
In addition to the Preflight Inspection covered in Section 4 of this POH,
complete servicing, inspection and test requirements for your airplane
are detailed in the Maintenance Manual. The Maintenance Manual
outlines all items which require attention at specific intervals plus those
items which require servicing, inspection, and/or testing at special
intervals.
Since Cessna Service Stations conduct all service, inspection, and test
procedures in accordance with applicable Maintenance Manuals, it is
recommended that you contact a Cessna Service Station concerning
these requirements and begin scheduling your airplane for service at
the recommended intervals.
Cessna Progressive Care ensures that these requirements are
accomplished at the required intervals to comply with the 100 hour or
annual inspection as previously covered.
Depending on various flight operations, your local government aviation
agency may require additional service, inspections, or tests. For these
regulatory requirements, owners should check with local aviation
officials where the airplane is being operated.
For quick and ready reference, quantities, materials and specifications
for frequently used service items are as follows.

OIL (Continued)
CAPACITY OF ENGINE SUMP
The engine has a total capacity of 12 quarts, with the oil filter
accounting for approximately one quart of that total. The engine oil
sump has a capacity of 11 quarts. The engine must not be operated on
less than 6 quarts (as measured by the dipstick). For extended flights,
the engine should be filled to capacity.

OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE
After the first 25 hours of operation, drain the engine oil sump and
replace the filter. Refill sump with MIL-L-22851 or SAE J1899 Aviation
Grade Ashless Dispersant Oil. Ashless dispersant oil (and oil filter)
should be changed at time intervals set forth by the engine
manufacturer.
NOTE
During the first 25 hour oil and filter change, a general
inspection of the overall engine compartment is required.
Items which are not normally checked during a preflight
inspection should be given special attention. Hoses, metal
lines and fittings should be inspected for signs of oil and
fuel leaks, and checked for abrasions, chafing, security,
proper routing and support, and evidence of deterioration.
Inspect the intake and exhaust systems for cracks,
evidence of leakage, and security of attachment. Engine
controls and linkages should be checked for freedom of
movement through their full range, security of attachment
and evidence of wear. Inspect wiring for security, chafing,
burning, defective insulation, loose or broken terminals,
heat deterioration, and corroded terminals. Check the
alternator belt in accordance with Maintenance Manual
instructions, and retighten if necessary. A periodic check of
these items during subsequent servicing operations is
recommended.

FUEL ADDITIVES
Strict adherence to recommended preflight draining instructions as
called for in Section 4 will eliminate any free water accumulations from
the tank sumps. While small amounts of water may still remain in
solution in the gasoline, it will normally be consumed and go unnoticed
in the operation of the engine.
One exception to this can be encountered when operating under the
combined effect of: (1) use of certain fuels, with (2) high humidity
conditions on the ground (3) followed by flight at high altitude and low
temperature. Under these unusual conditions, small amounts of water
in solution can precipitate from the fuel stream and freeze in sufficient
quantities to induce partial icing of the engine fuel system.
While these conditions are quite rare and will not normally pose a
problem to owners and operators, they do exist in certain areas of the
world and consequently must be dealt with, when encountered.
Therefore, to help alleviate the possibility of fuel icing occurring under
these unusual conditions, it is permissible to add isopropyl alcohol or
diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DiEGME) compound to the fuel
supply.
The introduction of alcohol or DiEGME compound into the fuel provides
two distinct effects: (1) it absorbs the dissolved water from the gasoline
and (2) alcohol has a freezing temperature depressant effect.
NOTE
When using fuel additives, it must be remembered that the
final goal is to obtain a correct fuel to additive ratio in the
tank, and not just with fuel coming out of the refueling
nozzle. For example, adding 15 gallons of correctly
proportioned fuel to a tank which contains 20 gallons of
untreated fuel will result in a lower than acceptable
concentration level to the 35 gallons of fuel which now
reside in the tank.

FUEL ADDITIVES (Continued)
Alcohol, if used, is to be blended with the fuel in a concentration of 1%
by volume. Concentrations greater than 1% are not recommended
since they can be detrimental to fuel tank materials.
The manner in which the alcohol is added to the fuel is significant
because alcohol is most effective when it is completely dissolved in the
fuel. To ensure proper mixing, the following is recommended:
1. For best results, the alcohol should be added during the fueling
operation by pouring the alcohol directly on the fuel stream
issuing from the fueling nozzle.
2. An alternate method that may be used is to premix the complete
alcohol dosage with some fuel in a separate clean container
(approximately 2-3 gallon capacity) and then transferring this
mixture to the tank prior to the fuel operation.

FUEL CONTAMINATION
Fuel contamination is usually the result of foreign material present in
the fuel system, and may consist of water, rust, sand, dirt, microbes or
bacterial growth. In addition, additives that are not compatible with fuel
or fuel system components can cause the fuel to become
contaminated.
Before each flight and after each refueling, use a clear sampler cup and
drain at least a cupful of fuel from each fuel tank drain location and from
the fuel strainer quick drain valve to determine if contaminants are
present, and to ensure the airplane has been fueled with the proper
grade of fuel.
If contamination is detected, drain all fuel drain points again, including
the fuel selector drain valve, and then gently rock the wings and lower
the tail to the ground to move any additional contaminants to the
sampling points. Take repeated samples from all fuel drain points until
all contamination has been removed. If, after repeated sampling,
evidence of contamination still exists, the airplane should not be flown.
Tanks should be drained and system purged by qualified maintenance
personnel. All evidence of contamination must be removed before
further flight. If the airplane has been serviced with the improper fuel
grade, defuel completely and refuel with the correct grade. Do not fly
the airplane with contaminated or unapproved fuel.
In addition, Owners/Operators who are not acquainted with a particular
fixed base operator should be assured that the fuel supply has been
checked for contamination and is properly filtered before allowing the
airplane to be serviced. Fuel tanks should be kept full between flights,
provided weight and balance considerations will permit, to reduce the
possibility of water condensing on the walls of partially filled tanks.
To further reduce the possibility of contaminated fuel, routine
maintenance of the fuel system should be performed in accordance
with the airplane Maintenance Manual. Only the proper fuel, as
recommended in this POH, should be used, and fuel additives should
not be used unless approved by Cessna and the Federal Aviation
Administration.

OXYGEN FILLING PRESSURES
The oxygen cylinder, when fully charged, contains approximately 76
cubic feet of MIL-O-27210 aviator's breathing oxygen, under a pressure
of 1850 PSI at 21°C (70°F). Filling pressures will vary, however, due to
ambient temperature in the filling area, and the temperature rise
resulting from compression of the oxygen. Because of this, merely
filling to 1850 PSI will not result in a properly filled cylinder. Fill to

CLEANING AND CARE
WINDSHIELD AND WINDOWS
The plastic windshield and windows should be cleaned with an airplane
windshield cleaner. Apply the cleaner sparingly with soft cloths, and rub
with moderate pressure until all dirt, oil scum and bug stains are
removed. Allow the cleaner to dry, then wipe it off with soft flannel
cloths.
CAUTION
NEVER USE GASOLINE, BENZENE, ALCOHOL,
ACETONE, FIRE EXTINGUISHER, ANTI-ICE FLUID,
LACQUER THINNER OR GLASS CLEANER TO CLEAN
THE PLASTIC. THESE MATERIALS WILL ATTACK THE
PLASTIC AND MAY CAUSE IT TO CRAZE.
If a windshield cleaner is not available, the plastic can be cleaned with
soft cloths moistened with Stoddard solvent to remove oil and grease.
Follow by carefully washing with a mild detergent and plenty of water.
Rinse thoroughly, then dry with a clean moist chamois.
Do not rub the plastic with a dry cloth since this builds up an
electrostatic charge which attracts dust. Waxing with a good
commercial wax will finish the cleaning job. A thin, even coat of wax,
polished out by hand with clean soft flannel cloths, will fill in minor
scratches and help prevent further scratching.
Do not use a canvas cover on the windshield unless freezing rain or
sleet is anticipated since the cover may scratch the plastic surface.

CLEANING AND CARE (Continued)
PAINTED SURFACES
The painted exterior surfaces of your new Cessna have a durable, long
lasting finish.
Generally, the painted surfaces can be kept bright by washing with
water and mild soap, followed by a rinse with water and drying with
cloths or a chamois. Harsh or abrasive soaps or detergents which
cause corrosion or scratches should never be used. Remove stubborn
oil and grease with a cloth moistened with Stoddard solvent. Take
special care to make sure that the exterior graphics are not touched by
the solvent. For complete care of exterior graphics, refer to the
Maintenance Manual.
To seal any minor surface chips or scratches and protect against
corrosion, the airplane should be waxed regularly with a good
automotive wax applied in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. If the airplane is operated in a seacoast or other salt water
environment, it must be washed and waxed more frequently to assure
adequate protection. Special care should be taken to seal around rivet
heads and skin laps, which are the areas most susceptible to corrosion.
A heavier coating of wax on the leading edges of the wings and tail and
on the cowl nose cap and propeller spinner will help reduce the
abrasion encountered in these areas. Reapplication of wax will
generally be necessary after cleaning with soap solution or after
chemical deicing operations.
When the airplane is parked outside in cold climates and it is necessary
to remove ice before flight, care should be taken to protect the painted
surfaces during ice removal with chemical liquids. Isopropyl alcohol will
satisfactorily remove ice accumulations without damaging the paint.
However, keep the isopropyl alcohol away from the windshield and
cabin windows since it will attack the plastic and may cause it to craze.

CLEANING AND CARE (Continued)
PROPELLER CARE
Preflight inspection of propeller blades for nicks, and wiping them
occasionally with an oily cloth to clean off grass and bug stains will
assure long blade life. Small nicks on the propeller, particularly near the
tips and on the leading edges, should be dressed out as soon as
possible since these nicks produce stress concentrations, and if
ignored, may result in cracks or failure of the propeller blade. Never use
an alkaline cleaner on the blades; remove grease and dirt with
Stoddard solvent.

PROPELLER HEAT BOOT
The optional propeller heat boots have a special electrically conductive
coating to bleed off static charges which cause radio interference and
may perforate the boots. Servicing operations should be done carefully
to avoid damaging this conductive coating or tearing the boots.
To prolong the life of propeller heat boots, they should be washed and
serviced on a regular basis. Keep the boots clean and free from oil,
grease and other solvents which cause rubber to swell and deteriorate.
Outlined below are recommended cleaning and servicing procedures.

ENGINE CARE
The engine may be cleaned, using a suitable solvent, in accordance
with instructions in the airplane Maintenance Manual. Most efficient
cleaning is done using a spray type cleaner. Before spray cleaning,
ensure that protection is afforded for components which might be
adversely affected by the solvent. Refer to the airplane Maintenance
Manual for proper lubrication of controls and components after engine
cleaning. The induction air filter should be replaced when its condition
warrants, not to exceed 500 hours.

INTERIOR CARE
To remove dust and loose dirt from the upholstery and carpet, clean the
interior regularly with a vacuum cleaner.
Blot up any spilled liquid promptly with cleansing tissue or rags. Don't
pat the spot; press the blotting material firmly and hold it for several
seconds. Continue blotting until no more liquid is taken up. Scrape off
sticky materials with a dull knife, then spot clean the area.
Oily spots may be cleaned with household spot removers, used
sparingly. Before using any solvent, read the instructions on the
container and test it on an obscure place on the fabric to be cleaned.
Never saturate the fabric with a volatile solvent; it may damage the
padding and backing materials.
Soiled upholstery and carpet may be cleaned with foam type detergent,
used according to the manufacturer's instructions. To minimize wetting
the fabric, keep the foam as dry as possible and remove it with a
vacuum cleaner.

LOCATOR

GENERAL
The Artex ME406 Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) installation
uses a solid-state 2-frequency transmitter powered by an internal
lithium battery. The ME406 is also equipped with an instrument panelmounted remote switch assembly, that includes a red warning light, and
an external antenna mounted on the top of the tailcone. The remote
switch assembly is installed along the upper right instrument panel and
controls ELT operating modes from the flight crew station. When the
remote switch is set to the ARM position, the transmitter is energized
only when the internal "G” switch senses longitudinal inertia forces per
TSO-C91a/TSO-C126. When the remote switch is set to the ON
position, the transmitter is immediately energized.
The ME406 transmitter unit is located in the tailcone along the right
side behind the baggage compartment aft panel. On the ELT
transmitter unit is a panel containing an ARM/ON switch and a
transmitter warning light.
The ELT installation uses two different warnings to tell the pilot when
the ELT is energized. The aural warning is an unusual sound that is
easily heard by the pilot. The visual warning is a flashing red light
directly above the remote switch that shows the pilot that the ELT has
been activated.
When the ME406 is energized, the ELT transmits the standard swept
tone signal on the international VHF frequency of 121.5 MHz until
battery power is gone. The 121.5 MHz signal is mainly used to pinpoint
the beacon during search and rescue operations, and is monitored by
general aviation, commercial aircraft, and government agencies.
In addition, for the first 24 hours of the ELT being energized, a 406.028
MHz signal is transmitted at 50 second intervals. This transmission
lasts 440 milliseconds and contains identification data programmed into
the ELT and is received by COSPAS/SARSAT satellites. The
transmitted data may include the Aircraft ID, ELT Serial Number,
Country Code, and COSPAS/SARSAT ID.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
If a forced landing is necessary, set the remote switch to the ON
position before landing. This is very important in remote or
mountainous terrain. The red warning light above the remote switch will
flash and the aural warning will be heard.
After a landing when search and rescue aid is needed, use the ELT as
follows:
NOTE
The ELT remote switch assembly could be inoperative if
damaged during a forced landing. If inoperative, the inertia
“G” switch will activate automatically. However, to turn the
ELT OFF and ON again requires manual switching of the
ELT panel switch which is located on the ELT unit.
1. MAKE SURE THE ELT IS ENERGIZED:
a. If the red warning light above the remote switch is not
flashing, set the remote switch to the ON position.
b. Listen for the aural warning. If the COM radio(s) operate and
can be energized safely (no threat of fire or explosion),
energize a COM radio and set the frequency to 121.5 MHz.
The ELT tone should be heard on the COM radio if the ELT
is working correctly. When done, de-energize the COM
radio(s) to conserve the airplane battery power.
c. Make sure that nothing is touching or blocking the ELT
antenna.
2. AFTER RESCUE - Set the remote switch to the ARM position to
de-energize the ELT. If the remote switch does not function, set
the switch on the ME406 (in the tailcone) to the ARM position.

NORMAL PROCEDURES
When operating in a remote area or over hazardous terrain, it is
recommended that the ELT be inspected by an approved technician
more frequently than required by 14 CFR 91.207.

NORMAL OPERATION
1. Check that the remote switch (on the upper right instrument
panel) is set to the ARM position.
Normal operation of the ME406 from the flight crew station is only to
de-energize and arm the ELT after it has been accidentally energized
(no emergency).
The ELT can be energized by a lightning strike or hard landing. If the
red light above the remote switch is flashing and the aural warning is
heard, the ELT is energized. Check for the emergency signal on a COM
radio set to 121.5 MHz. To stop the transmissions, set the remote
switch to the ON position momentarily and then set to the ARM
position. Tell the nearest Air Traffic Control facility about the accidental
transmissions as soon as possible to hold search and rescue work to a
minimum.

PERFORMANCE
There is no change to the airplane performance when the Artex ME406
ELT is installed.

EMERGENCY

LOCATOR

GENERAL
The Artex C406-N Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) installation
uses a solid-state 3-frequency transmitter powered by an internal
lithium battery. The navigation function of the C406-N ELT receives
power from the airplane’s main battery thru Avionics Bus 1 and the
Essential Bus. The C406-N is also equipped with an instrument panelmounted remote switch assembly, that includes a red warning light, and
an external antenna mounted on the top of the tailcone. The remote
switch assembly is installed along the top right side of the instrument
panel and controls ELT operating modes from the flight crew station.
When the remote switch is set to the ARM position, the transmitter is
energized only when the internal "G-switch" senses longitudinal inertia
forces per TSO-C91a/TSO-C126. When the remote switch is set to the
ON position, the transmitter is immediately energized.
The C406-N transmitter unit is located in the tailcone along the right
side behind the baggage compartment aft panel. On the ELT
transmitter unit is a panel containing an ON/OFF switch and a
transmitter warning light.
The ELT installation uses two different warnings to tell the pilot when
the ELT is energized. The aural warning is an unusual sound that is
easily heard by the pilot. The visual warning is a flashing red light
directly above the remote switch that shows the pilot that the ELT has
been activated.
When the C406-N is energized, the ELT transmits the standard swept
tone signal on the international VHF frequency of 121.5 MHz and UHF
frequency of 243.0 MHz until battery power is gone. The 121.5 MHz
signal is mainly used to pinpoint the beacon during search and rescue
operations, and is monitored by general aviation, commercial aircraft,
and government agencies.
In addition, for the first 24 hours of the ELT being energized, a 406.028
MHz signal is transmitted at 50 second intervals. This transmission
lasts 440 milliseconds and contains identification data programmed into
the ELT and is received by COSPAS/SARSAT satellites. The
transmitted data may include the Aircraft ID, GPS coordinates, ELT
Serial Number, Country Code, and COSPAS/SARSAT ID.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
If a forced landing is necessary, set the remote switch to the ON
position before landing. This is very important in remote or
mountainous terrain. The red warning light above the remote switch will
flash and the aural warning will be heard.
After a landing when search and rescue aid is needed, use the ELT as
follows:
NOTE
The ELT remote switch assembly could be inoperative if
damaged during a forced landing. If inoperative, the inertia
“G” switch will activate automatically. However, to turn the
ELT OFF and ON again requires manual switching of the
ELT panel switch which is located on the ELT unit.
1. MAKE SURE THE ELT IS ENERGIZED:
a. If the red warning light above the remote switch is not
flashing, set the remote switch to the ON position.
b. Listen for the aural warning. If the COM radio(s) operate and
can be energized safely (no threat of fire or explosion),
energize a COM radio and set the frequency to 121.5 MHz.
The ELT tone should be heard on the COM radio if the ELT
is working correctly. When done, de-energize the COM
radio(s) to conserve the airplane battery power.
c. Make sure that nothing is touching or blocking the ELT
antenna.
2. AFTER RESCUE - Set the remote switch to the ARM position to
de-energize the ELT. If the remote switch does not function, set
the switch on the C406-N (in the tailcone) to the OFF position.

NORMAL PROCEDURES
When operating in a remote area or over hazardous terrain, it is
recommended that the ELT be inspected by an approved technician
more frequently than required by 14 CFR 91.207.
NORMAL OPERATION
1. Check that the remote switch (on the right instrument panel) is set
to the ARM position.
Normal operation of the C406-N from the flight crew station is only to
de-energize and arm the ELT after it has been accidentally energized
(no emergency).
The ELT can be energized by a lightning strike or hard landing. If the
red light above the remote switch is flashing and the aural warning is
heard, the ELT is energized. Check for the emergency signal on a COM
radio set to 121.5 MHz. To stop the transmissions, set the remote
switch to the ON position momentarily and then set to the ARM
position. Tell the nearest Air Traffic Control facility about the accidental
transmissions as soon as possible to hold search and rescue work to a
minimum.

PERFORMANCE
There is no change to the airplane performance when the Artex C406N ELT is installed.

L3 COMMUNICATIONS WX-500 STORMSCOPE
GENERAL
The L3 Communications WX-500 Stormscope Series II Weather
Mapping Sensor is a "black-box" type weather sensor/processor that
uses an external controller/display unit for control input and output
display functions. In this airplane, the WX-500 is integrated with the
Garmin G1000 Integrated Cockpit System Multifunction Display (MFD)
for the control and display of all Stormscope functions. See the G1000
Cockpit Reference Guide for more information regarding operation of
the G1000 MFD.
CAUTION
THE L3 COMMUNICATIONS WX-500 STORMSCOPE IS
APPROVED FOR USE ONLY IN AVOIDING HAZARDOUS
WEATHER (THUNDERSTORMS). USE OF THE WX-500
T O P E N E T R AT E H A Z A R D O U S W E AT H E R I S
PROHIBITED.
The L3 Communications WX-500 Stormscope sensor detects electrical
discharge (lightning) activity through a dedicated antenna mounted on
the bottom of the airplane. The Stormscope processor continuously
acquires electrical discharge data and performs self-test functions to
ensure that the data presented to the pilot is always current and reliable
when displayed. The system is heading-stabilized, so that the proper
orientation of displayed data relative to the airplane position during
maneuvering is maintained.
The Stormscope maps electrical discharge activity at ranges up to 200
nautical miles (nm) and displays that activity map to the flight crew,
either centered on the airplane position (360° view) or ahead of the
airplane position through 60° on either side of the airplane heading
(120°view).

DIRECTION

GENERAL
The Bendix/King Digital ADF is a panel-mounted, digitally tuned
automatic direction finder. It is designed to provide continuous 1-kHz
digital tuning in the frequency range of 200-kHz to 1799-kHz and
eliminates the need for mechanical band switching. The system has a
receiver, a built-in electronic timer, a bearing pointer shown on the
G1000 Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI), and a KA-44B combined
loop and sense antenna. Controls and displays for the Bendix/King
Digital ADF are shown and described in Figure S4-1. The Garmin GMA
1347 Audio Panel is used to control audio output. Audio panel
operation is described in the Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide.
The Bendix/King Digital ADF can be used for position plotting and
homing procedures, and for aural reception of amplitude modulated
(AM) signals.
The flip-flop frequency display allows switching between preselected
standby and active frequencies by pushing the frequency transfer
button. Both preselected frequencies are stored in a nonvolatile
memory circuit (no battery power required) and displayed in large,
easy-to-read, self-dimming gas discharge numbers. The active
frequency is continuously displayed in the left window, while the right
window will display either the standby frequency or the selected
readout from the built-in electronic timer.
The built-in electronic timer has two timing functions that operate
independently. An automatic flight timer starts when the unit is turned
on. This timer counts up to 59 hours and 59 minutes. An elapsed timer
will count up or down for up to 59 minutes and 59 seconds. When a
preset time interval has been programmed and the countdown reaches
:00, the display will flash for 15 seconds. Since both the flight timer and
elapsed timer operate independently, it is possible to monitor either one
without disrupting the other. The pushbutton controls are internally
lighted. The light intensity is controlled by the AVIONICS dimmer
control.

In the U.S., the FCC, which assigns AM radio frequencies, occasionally
will assign the same frequency to more than one station in an area.
Certain conditions, such as Night Effect, may cause signals from such
stations to overlap. This should be taken into consideration when using
AM broadcast stations for navigation.
Sunspots and atmospheric phenomena may occasionally distort
reception so that signals from two stations on the same frequency will
overlap. For this reason, it is always wise to make positive identification
of the station being tuned, by switching the function selector to ANT
and listening for station call letters.
In the vicinity of electrical storms, an ADF indicator pointer tends to
swing from the station tuned toward the center of the storm.

NORMAL PROCEDURES (Continued)
ADF OPERATION NOTES: (Continued)
NIGHT EFFECT:
This is a disturbance particularly strong just after sunset and just after
dawn. An ADF indicator pointer may swing erratically at these times. If
possible, tune to the most powerful station at the lowest frequency. If
this is not possible, take the average of pointer oscillations to determine
station bearing.
MOUNTAIN EFFECT:
Radio waves reflecting from the surface of mountains may cause the
pointer to fluctuate or show an erroneous bearing. This should be taken
into account when taking bearings over mountainous terrain.
COASTAL REFRACTION:
Radio waves may be refracted when passing from land to sea or when
moving parallel to the coastline. This also should be taken into account.

PERFORMANCE
There is no change in airplane performance when the Bendix/King KR
87 Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) is installed. However, the
installation of an externally mounted antenna or related external
antennas, will result in a minor reduction in cruise performance.

JAR-OPS OPERATIONAL ELIGIBILITY
GENERAL
OPERATIONAL ELIGIBILITY
The JAA TGLs noted below specify that Operational Eligibility
information be included in the airplane POH/AFM or POH/AFM
Supplement for convenience in the JAR-OPS approval process. This
Supplement provides a consistent location for the requested
information. This information does not address the operation of the
airplane or equipment by the pilot.

NAVIGATION OPERATIONAL ELIGIBILITY
The GPS/GNSS receivers in the G1000 System are certified to TSO
C129a Class A1 and ETSO C129a Class A1 or TSO C145a and ETSO
2C145a.
The installed performance of the G1000 System has been tested and
approved for IFR enroute, terminal and non-precision (RNAV or GPS)
approach operations per AC 20-138A when using GPS/GNSS with the
correct navigation database.
The G1000 System meets the requirements for GPS/GNSS as a
Primary Means of Navigation for Oceanic/Remote Operations (RNP10) per AC 20-138A, FAA Notice N8110.60, FAA Order 8400-12A and
FAA Order 8700-1. Both GPS/GNSS receivers are required to be
operating and receiving usable signals except for routes requiring only
one Long Range Navigation sensor.
The G1000 System has been shown to be eligible for BRNAV (RNP-5)
and PRNAV (RNP-1) Enroute and Terminal navigation per JAA TGL-2
(ACJ20X4), JAA TGL-10 and AC 90-96A provided that the G1000 is
receiving usable navigation information from at least one GPS receiver.
Eligibility does not constitute Operational Approval.
