Takeoff Checklist - P-5530189

JOINT ADVANCED MULTI-ENGINE T-44A

PRIMARY GOVERNORS

"CHECKED" (P)

With N2 still set at 1900 RPM, P performs the following checks:

a. Prop levers Move both aft. Stop when prop levers reach the detent. This will be felt as

increased resistance. Be careful not to allow prop levers to enter into the FEATHER position. If

FEATHER is inadvertently selected, bring the props forward immediately.

N2 Stabilized between 1600-1800 RPM

Prop levers Slowly full forward

N2 Returns to approximately 1900 RPM

AUTOFEATHER

"CHECKED" (P)

With power at 500 ft-lbs torque minimum, P performs the following checks:

AUTOFEATHER switch TEST (down position)

Check both LH and RH AUTO FEATHER ARMED annunciator lights (green) on. If lights do not

come on, advance the power levers slightly.

b. Left power lever Retard slowly. As torque reaches 410 + 50 ft-lbs, check RH AUTO

FEATHER ARMED annunciator light out. Continue retarding power lever toward idle. At 210-310

ft-lbs torque (260 + 50), check LH AUTO FEATHER ARMED annunciator light flashing. This

indicates the prop is feathering. After N2 decreases to 800 RPM, advance left power lever to 500 ft-

lbs torque and note both AUTO FEATHER ARMED annunciator lights on.

c. Right power lever Retard slowly. As torque reaches 410 + 50 ft-lbs, check LH AUTO

FEATHER ARMED annunciator light out. Continue retarding power lever toward idle. At 210-310

ft-lbs torque (260 + 50), check RH AUTO FEATHER ARMED annunciator light flashing. This

indicates the prop is feathering. After N2 decreases to 800 RPM, retard both power levers to idle.

d. AUTOFEATHER TEST switch Release after noting right prop feathering cycle terminated

and N2 increasing toward 900-1100 RPM.

MANUAL FEATHER

"CHECKED" (P)

P performs the following checks:

Power levers IDLE, N2 stabilized. (Power must be at idle).

b. Prop levers FEATHER. Simultaneously pull both prop levers firmly aft, past the detent, to the

stops.

N2 Note N2 decrease as props feather.

Prop levers full forward after N2 decreases to 800 RPM.

N2 Note N2 returns to 900-1100 RPM.

CP reports "Engine Runup Checklist complete."

TAKEOFF CHECKLIST

The Takeoff Checklist is designed to check the remaining systems and configure the aircraft for

takeoff.

AUTOPILOT

"CHECKED, DISENGAGED" (P, CP)

P and CP perform the following checks:

Annunciator lights Check

P rotates dim control fully counterclockwise (P's AP mode selector panel on pedestal) and ensures

lights illuminate on mode selector panel and flight director annunciator (above P's attitude gyro). P

directs CP to "check your lights" (by performing the same action on CP autopilot mode selector
