INITIAL FLIGHT TRAINING CURRICULUM


OBJECTIVE OF FLIGHT TRAINING

With the use of an approved flight simulator, cockpit checklist and appropriate
instrument approach and airport charts, the pilot will be able to accomplish a flight
review in accordance with 61.56. Training will include all maneuvers and procedures
which, at the direction of the instructor giving the review, are necessary for the pilot to
demonstrate the safe exercise of the privileges of the pilot certificate.

Completion Standards

The pilot completes the flight review, and the instructor certifies in the flight simulator
training record and endorses the pilot log book.
This curriculum accomplishes the 61.56 requirements to qualify the flight crewmember
for service in the duty position after completion of the required training. The flight
review will be conducted in accordance with the Private Pilot Practical Test Standard,
Commercial Pilot Practical Test Standards, Instrument Rating Practical Test Standard, or
Airline Transport Pilot and Aircraft Type Rating Practical Test Standards, as applicable.

CURRICULUM SEGMENT OUTLINE


Aircraft Orientation And Normal Procedures

This training provides instruction to develop the skill to maneuver the aircraft with
and without the automatic flight control system. The pilot will become proficient in the
use of normal checklists, standard operating procedures, precision approaches, and
nonprecision approaches.

Abnormal And Emergency Procedures

This training provides instruction to introduce and practice selected abnormal and
emergency procedures. In order to provide FlightSafety customers with flight simulator
exercises, useful in some circumstances, FlightSafety has included flight simulator
training events in this training program addressing unusual attitudes which can
be conducted within the defined envelope of flight simulator operation. When a
manufacturer provides predictable data from the aircraft and that data is programmed
into the flight simulator, FlightSafety will train to the manufacturers recommended
procedure for recognition, and recovery from unusual attitudes.
Excursion outside of this defined envelope cannot be considered as representing the
behavior of the actual aircraft. Demonstrations of maneuvers outside of the defined flight
simulator operating envelope may be conducted at the discretion of the Center Manager
with the caveat that such demonstrations represent our best opinion of aircraft behavior,
but cannot be considered accurate.

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AREAS (RKA)


The required knowledge areas represent what each pilot should know and understand prior to
completion of training. These are divided into subject matter areas following the course curriculum and will assist with the study process. Although this list contains the most critical areas of
concentration, it is only a basic guide and not intended to replace a comprehensive study of the
course materials.

AIRCRAFT GENERAL
1. The height from the ground to the top of
the tail is 15 5.5.
2. The Caravan is equipped with a 24 volt
lead acid or NiCad battery.
3. There are 22 total static wicks installed
on the Caravan.
4. It is recommended that a GPU be used
for engine starts when the ambient air
temperature is below 0C.

ELECTRICAL
1. The Caravan electrical system provides
DC power for aircraft electrical devices.
2. The electrical power sources in the Caravan are the battery, an engine driven
starter-generator and an optional engine
driven alternator.
3. The battery is located on the front right
side of the firewall and features a quick
disconnect capability.
4. The battery switch, located on the left
sidewall switch panel, will supply battery
power to the two general buses when
placed in the ON position.
5. The OFF position of the battery cuts power to all buses except the battery bus.
6. The battery bus energizes continuously
for memory keep-alive, clock and cabin/
courtesy light functions.

REV. 1.1

7. The dual purpose starter-generator acts


as a motor during engine start and as a
generator after starting.
8. A generator control unit provides for automatic starter cutoff at 46% Ng, voltage
regulation, high voltage and reverse
current protection.
9. The generator provides 28 volts of DC
power to the aircraft electrical components.
10. With external power connected to the aircraft and the EXTERNAL POWER switch
in the BUS position, external power is
applied to the power distribution bus.
11. With external power connected to the aircraft and the EXTERNAL POWER switch
in the STARTER position, external power
is applied to the starter circuit only.
12. An interlock between the MOTOR position of the STARTER switch and the
IGNITION switch prevents the starter
from motoring unless the IGNITION is in
the NORM position.
13. The red VOLTAGE LOW annunciator
illuminates when the battery bus voltage
is below 24.5 volts.
14. The red GENERATOR OFF annunciator
illuminates if the GCU de-energizes the
generator contactor.
15. An optional 75 amp belt-driven alternator
is available as a back-up power source in
the event of a generator failure.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

4-3

CARAVAN CLIENT GUIDE


16. Monitor total amperage supplied from
the standby electrical system on the volt/
ammeter by placing the selector switch in
the ALT position.
17. If annunciators are illuminated after shutdown, ensure standby power is OFF.

LIGHTING SYSTEMS
1. Because of the relatively short service life
of the landing lights, it is recommended
that the taxi/recog lights be used in the
traffic patter or enroute.
2. In G600 equiped aircraft, rotating the DISPLAYS dimmer knob cockwise increases the intensity of the Garmin displays.
Rotating it counterclockwise dims the
displays. Rotating the knob fully counterclockwise (to the DAY position) causes
the intensity to be set automatically in
response to photocell sensors.
3. The cabin lights and courtesy lights are
controlled by a toggle switch on the
instrument panel, a rocker switch just
forward of the cargo door and a rocker
switch just forward of the airstair door.
Actuating any of those three switches
turns on the cabin lights regardless of
the corresponding position of the other
switches.
4. The large ENG INST knob varies the
intensity of the dimmable lamps on the
annunciator panel.

MASTER WARNING SYSTEM

3. A green annunciator indicates a normal or


safe condition and requires no corrective
action.
4. The Low Airspeed Awareness annunciator flashes and the stall horn activates
below 110kts with the prop heat in AUTO
mode (boots) or with the pitot heat ON
(TKS).
5. Activating the LAMP TEST switch should
illuminate all annunciators and activate
both fuel-selector-off warning horns.
6. The stall horn activates 5-10kts prior to
stall.

FUEL
1. Fuel flows by gravity from the shutoff
valves in each tank to the fuel reservoir.
2. The reservoir maintains a supply of fuel
around the ejector pump and boost pump
to prevent pump cavitation in low-fuel
situations.
3. The boost pump provides fuel flow during
engine start and also in the event of an
ejector pump failure.
4. The fuel filter, located on the forward
side of the firewall, has a red bypass flag
that will extend in the event that the filter
becomes clogged.
5. The fuel filter should be checked before
and after every flight to verify that the
bypass flag is not extended.

1. A red annunciator indicates a hazardous


situation which requires immediate pilot
action.

6. The only ventilation for the fuel system


is through vent lines which protrude from
the trailing edge of the wingtips.

2. An Amber annunciator indicates a cautionary condition that may not require


immediate pilot corrective action.

7. An amber FUEL LOW annunciator for


each tank will illuminate when the fuel in
the respective tank is 25 gallons or less.

4-4

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

REV. 1.1

CARAVAN CLIENT GUIDE


8. The RESERVOIR FUEL LOW annunciator illuminates when the reservoir drops
to approximately half full which is enough
fuel for 90 seconds of engine operation at
max continuous power.
9. The amber FUEL PRESS LOW annunciator illuminates when low pressure is
detected in the fuel system indicating a
possible blockage, ejector pump failure or
leak.
10. The fireproof drain-can must be emptied
once a day or every six engine shutdowns.

POWERPLANT
1. The Caravan is powered by a PT6A-114A
engine rated at 675 shp.
2. The accessory gearbox, located on the
rear of the engine, contains an integral oil
reservoir, oil pumps, an engine fuel pump,
optional alternator, and a starter-generator.
3. The ignition system will be energized
continuously with the IGNITION switch in
the ON position.
4. The following are situations that require
the use of the ON position of the IGNITION:
a. Airstarts without starter assist
b. Operation on water covered
runways
c. Flight during heavy precipitation
d. Inadvertent icing encounters
e. Near fuel exhaustion
5. The following situations require the use of
the inertial separator:
a. In visible moisture with an OAT
of 5C or less

6. The inertial separator should remain in


the BYPASS position after an icing encounter until after landing, shutdown and
inspection (TKS).
7. The amber CHIP DETECTOR annunciator illuminates when metal chips are present in either one or both chip detectors.
8. The propeller reversing linkage can be
damaged if the power lever is moved aft
of the IDLE position when the propeller is
feathered.
9. The emergency power lever allows the
pilot to restore power in the event of a
pneumatic failure in the fuel control unit.
Evidence of this failure is an uncommanded power reduction to idle (approximately
48% Ng).
10. Operation of the emergency power lever
is prohibited when the primary power
lever out of the idle position.
11. If the fuel condition lever is unintentionally moved below the LOW IDLE position,
allow the engine to complete its shutdown
sequence then proceed with a normal
start.
12. If no ITT rise is observed within 10 seconds after moving the FUEL CONDITION
lever to LOW IDLE, or ITT rapidly approaches 1,090C, move the CONDITON
lever to CUTOFF and perform the engine
clearing procedure.
13. To check for proper operation of the overspeed governor, press the OVERSPEED
GOVERNOR switch and advance the
power lever until prop rpm stabilizes.
Prop rpm should not exceed 1,750 60.

b. Ground operations on dusty or


sandy fields

FIRE PROTECTION/FIRE WARNING
SYSTEM
1. The engine fire detection system consists
of a flexible closed loop heat sensor. If
an over temperature situation occurs, a
change in resistance is created which
lights the ENGINE FIRE annunciator and
sounds the fire bell.
2. A successful test of the fire-detection circuitry using the FIRE DETECT TEST button is indicated by the illumination of the
ENGINE FIRE annunciator and sounding

CARAVAN CLIENT GUIDE


5. If the prop heat fails in the AUTO position,
the MANUAL position can be used while
exiting icing. Do not hold the switch in
the MANUAL position for more than 90
seconds to prevent run-back icing on the
unprotected part of the prop.
6. The sight glass on the TKS tank is the
only approved method for verifying the
fluid level is at or above the minimum
dispatch level of 11.7 gallons.
7. In boot equipped aircraft, the Low Airspeed
Awareness system is active any time the
prop heat is in the AUTO position. The
system alerts the pilot via an annunciator
and horn anytime the speed falls below 110
knots.
8. In TKS equipped aircraft, the Low Airspeed
Awareness system is active any time the
pitot heat is ON. The system alerts the
pilot via an annunciator and horn anytime
the speed falls below 97.5 2 knots.
9. Illumination of the red WARN annunciator
on TKS equipped aircraft indicates low
pressure in the system. Possible causes would be lack of fluid, empty tank, or
ruptured line.
10. Illumination of the amber CAUT annunciator on TKS equipped aircraft indicates
high pressure in the system (possible filter
blockage) or low fluid remaining (approximately 2 gallons).
