SECTION IV
OPERATING INFORMATION
MODEL 560
The abbreviated checklist is designed to enable the crew to perform all prestart functions in advance.
This permits items such as the Warning Test to be complete before passenger boarding and accelerates
the ramp departure without compromising safety or thoroughness.
Leaving the chocks, brake checks can be done lightly and smoothly. If heavy braking is required on
landing roll, using up elevator to create drag also counters the nose down pitching moment so that
deceleration feel in the cabin is less abrupt. Do not apply excessive back pressure, as weight may be lifted
from the main wheels decreasing braking effectiveness and increasing the possibility of a blown tire.
The pressurization system procedures outlined in this chapter may at first appear complex, but
thorough understanding of the controller and indicators coupled with minimal practical experience greatly
simplifies operation. Optimum system performance in terms of passenger comfort is best achieved by
slow, smooth selection of altitudes and rates and by reducing the variables when setting the controller by
not making power changes simultaneously.
Although it is not mandatory, use of the yaw damper is recommended when hand flying the airplane.
It reduces pilot rudder input required and the airplane rides better in rough air. The yaw damper must be
off for takeoff and landing.
Power management has an impact on cabin comfort and changes should be made smoothly and
symmetrically. An approximate estimate of synchronization can be made by observing the RPM gages and
exact adjustments made audibly or with the engine synchronizer. Although the higher pitched turbine
sound is generally more noticeable in the cockpit, the lower, fan out-of-synchronization sound is usually
more pronounced in the area of the rear seats.
Good crew coordination and smooth operation of the controls and systems serves the best interests
of safety, economy and passenger comfort.
TURBULENT AIR PENETRATION
Flight through severe turbulence should be avoided if possible. The following procedures are
recommended for flight in severe turbulence.
1. IGNITION - ON.
2. Airspeed approximately 180 KIAS. Do not chase airspeed.
3. Maintain a constant attitude without chasing the altitude. Avoid sudden large control
movements.
4. Operation of autopilot is recommended using basic pitch and lateral mode only.
