- Set conditioner lever to Flight Idle position
- Use 150 flaps for normal take-off
- Smoothly increase power to full
- Rotate at ~80 KIAS
- Raise landing gear when off ground
- Retract flaps when airspeed >100 KIAS
- Set climb to 1700-1800 fpm
- Keep full power until airspeed ~150 KIAS
- At ~150 KIAS decrease power to ~36.9 psi of torque
-at this
power setting climb speed should be 160-170 KIAS
-climb
at this airspeed up to 15,000 ft and then decrease
airspeed 10 knots for each next higher 5000 ft
change
11.
Level off at desired altitude and adjust power
-remember to keep under the maximum
cruise speed of
270 KTAS, and the maximum
operating speed of 240 KIAS
12.
Before starting descent bring power back to allow airspeed
to decrease to a point where the
descent speed will not
exceed recommended speeds
13.
Lower landing gear 10-20 nmiles before destination
14.
Maintain 100-120 KIAS on approach with 150 flaps
note: be aware on approach and landing that the
large flaps on this
aircraft produce a lot of
drag that can slow the
aircraft considerably.
You do not want to be
at 80 knots or less
when applying 400
flaps unless you have
altitude for a stall recovery.
15.
Set airspeed to 80-90
knots on short final with 400 flaps
note: normally you do want
to keep the power
between
13-14 psi torque on short final.
If you are at a power
setting less than this
when you increase
flaps to 400, the decrease
in airspeed may not be compensated in time
by an increase in
power owing to the few
seconds
delay in turbine spool-up time.
16.
Aim to be at 80-90
KIAS over runway threshold
17.
Bring power back to 0
and flair
18.
Use reverse thrusters
on ground to slow down if necessary
19.
Set conditioner lever
to Ground Idle
20.
Taxi to destination
spot, shut aircraft down.
