LIGHT SIGNALS & QUADRANTAL RULE ------------------------------- LIGHT SIGNALS ** NOTE: STEADY GREEN: In Flight — Authorised to land if pilot satisfied no collision risk exists. On Aerodrome — Authorised to take-off if pilot satisfied no collision risk exists. ** NOTE: STEADY RED: In Flight — Give way to other aircraft and continue circling. On Aerodrome — Stop. ** NOTE: GREEN FLASHES: In Flight — Return, wait for permission to land. On Aerodrome — Authorised to taxi IF pilot satisfied no risk exists. ** NOTE: RED FLASHES: In Flight — Do not land, Aerodrome not available for landing. On Aerodrome — Taxi clear of landing area in use. ** NOTE: WHITE FLASHES: In Flight — Land at this aerodrome, after receiving continuous green light. On Aerodrome — Return to starting point on aerodrome. QUADRANTAL RULE ** NOTE: Uncontrolled Airspace: Transition Level FL245 — Magnetic Track. Controlled Airspace: Magnetic Track. See source diagram. MARSHALLING SIGNALS ------------------- ** NOTE: Marshalling Signals — see source document illustrations. S-TEC SYSTEM 50 PRE-FLIGHT PROCEDURES ------------------------------------- ** NOTE: NOTE: There must be adequate aircraft DC voltage, (14 or 28VDC), to perform these checks. Low voltage may adversely affect the Functional Pre-flight Procedures. [ ] Position Avionics Master Switch ON, then position A/P Master Switch to ON. ... ON [ ] Position the A/P Master Switch to Test. RDY, STB, HDG, NAV, APR, and REV annunciators will illuminate. ... TEST [ ] Position the A/P Master Switch to ON after the Turn Coordinator has reached its' rated RPM. Observe that the green Ready (RDY) light is on. ... ON - RDY LIGHT ON [ ] Press the ON/OFF switch; the STB light illuminates. Rotate Turn Knob left then right; observe that the control wheel moves respectively. ... STB LIGHT ON - WHEEL MOVES RESPECTIVELY [ ] Centre the Turn Knob; control wheel stops. ..... CENTER - WHEEL STOPS [ ] Set HSI and place HDG bug under lubber line, push Turn Knob to engage HDG mode. ... HDG BUG UNDER LUBBER LINE [ ] Observe HDG annunciator illuminates. Move HDG bug left and right; observe that the control wheel follows. ... HDG ILLUMINATES - WHEEL FOLLOWS [ ] Override Test: Grasp the control wheel; slowly override the roll servo left then right to ensure proper clutch action. ... OVERRIDE TEST ** CAUTION: CAUTION: Control Wheel movements should be smooth. If any unusual noise or restriction occurs, have the system inspected for proper installation and proper clutch setting, immediately. Do not operate the Autopilot under these conditions. RADIO CHECK [ ] Tune the NAV radio to a valid VOR signal. Press and release the NAV Mode Switch the NAV lamp illuminates. ... NAV LAMP ILLUMINATES [ ] Move VOR OBS so the CDI needle moves left & right. The control wheel moves respectively. ... WHEEL MOVES RESPECTIVELY [ ] Perform the same tests for the REV and APR modes. ... REV AND APR MODES ** NOTE: NOTE: In REV Mode, observe that the control wheel moves opposite of the NAV needle and with more authority than in the NAV Mode. In APR Mode, observe that the control wheel follows the radio needle movement and with more authority than in the NAV Mode. [ ] Disconnect the A/P. Press and release the remote AP Disconnect Switch on the control wheel. ... DISCONNECT MICROFLO TEST AND PRE-FLIGHT PROCEDURES --------------------------------------- ** NOTE: NOTE: Using the test function while the engine is running will cause the computer to lose 17 seconds of fuel count. MICROFLO-L is a fuel flow measuring system and NOT a quantity-sensing device. A visual inspection and positive determination of the usable fuel in the fuel tanks is a necessity. Therefore, it is imperative that the determined available usable fuel be manually entered into the system. PREFLIGHT & DIAGNOSTIC CHECK [ ] 1. Press ENTER/TEST until display shows checkerboard. ... CHECKERBOARD [ ] 2. Release ENTER/TEST - display flashes 3 times. .... FLASHES 3 TIMES ** NOTE: a. Display filled with inverse checkerboard. ** NOTE: b. Display flashes 3 times. ** NOTE: c. On failing test “BAD” displayed with error code. In such case unit is U/S. ** NOTE: d. On passing test “GOOD” displayed for 3 seconds. ** NOTE: e. K-factor setting (Pulses Per Gallon) and units of measure (gallons, litres, pounds or kilograms) displayed. ** NOTE: f. LT ( ): Loran or GPS Type (No signal ‘LOF’ displayed). ** NOTE: g. Distance to waypoint GPS to check data interface integrity. (No signal ‘LBD’ displayed). ** NOTE: h. Maximum usable fuel setting. ** NOTE: i. Software version. [ ] 3. Move USED/REM switch to USED. ............................... USED ** NOTE: a. Displays fuel used since last fuel entry/last reset. [ ] 4. Move USED/REM switch to REM. ................................. REM ** NOTE: a. Displays fuel remaining. Pilot should CONFIRM with actual on board. [ ] 5. NO FUEL ADDED ................................... NO ACTION NEEDED ** NOTE: b. No action needed in updating fuel as info on previous fuel levels stored, even when power down. [ ] 6. SET FULL FUEL TANKS ......................................... FULL ** NOTE: c. Move ADD/FULL switch to FULL and hold. ** NOTE: d. Press ENTER/TEST button. ** NOTE: e. Release ADD/FULL it returns to the centre position. ** NOTE: f. To verify, move USED/REM switch to REM. Total usable fuel will be displayed. [ ] 7. PARTIAL FUEL ADDED ........................................... ADD ** NOTE: g. Move ADD/FULL to ADD and hold. ** NOTE: h. Move USED/REM to REM to increment fuel added figure until amount of fuel added is reached. ** NOTE: i. Press ENTER/TEST button. ** NOTE: j. Release ADD/FULL it returns to the centre position. The computer will add the added fuel remaining and use the total as the current fuel remaining. ** NOTE: k. To verify, move USED/REM to REM. Total usable fuel will be displayed. CORRECTING FUEL ON BOARD ENTRY ERROR ** NOTE: This is used when an error has been made by exceeding the correct amount when entering the total usable fuel. ** NOTE: l. Move USED/REM to USED simultaneously press and hold ENTER/TEST. ** NOTE: i. The fuel remaining figure will appear and pause in the display window for four (4) seconds. The figure will decrement (the longer you press, the faster it decrements). ** NOTE: m. Hold USED/REM in the USED position and use ENTER/TEST to control the decrementing. ** NOTE: n. When the correct figure is reached, release both USED/REM and ENTER/TEST. ** NOTE: Note: Adding or subtracting fuel by any method resets the fuel used value to zero.
