for shorter runways). When arriving at the holding position, check
your flight controls again for free movement. To prepare for automatic
flight, activate the flight director (FD) and select the first altitude using
the altitude preselector. Program your GPS, if desired, and dial in your
assigned transponder code into transponder 1. Activate the environmental
systems, and set the pressurization system. If your cruise altitude is
below ca. 12.000 feet, set the cabin altitude to 500 feet above field
elevation. Otherwise, set the cabin altitude controller to the final cruising
altitude, and move the air control lever to PRESSURIZED AIR.
Powerback (in emergency situations only)
If there is not sufficient space in front of the aircraft to start taxiing,
you may force the Cheyenne to move backwards with the help of the
propeller. To achieve this, move the propeller levers into reverse range.
You need to be careful with the power lever during that maneuver.
You may either use the <F2> key - a few single key presses are suffi-
cient – or the mouse wheel on the throttle panel. If the aircraft starts
rolling too fast, do not use the brakes, as this will lift the nose into the
air and the tail will hit the ground. Subsequent repair costs will be sub-
stantial. A better idea is to move the power levers back towards idle
<F3> or use the mouse wheel. As the plane stops, step on the brakes
and set the power levers to full idle. Steering while rolling backward
is possible with differential wheel brakes, using the <F11> and <F12>
keys or a rudder pedal set.
