General

This section outlines the necessity of attaching this supplement to the Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual when the airplane has been modified with specific equipment. It highlights the importance of referring to this supplement for updated information regarding the operation of the aircraft.

Limitations

The limitations section specifies that the propeller deice system should not be operated unless the engine is running. It also details the requirements for flight into icing conditions, including the necessary equipment and placarding.

Emergency Procedures

This section provides critical emergency procedures related to the propeller deice system, including steps to take in case of generator loss or abnormal readings on the propeller deice ammeter. It outlines specific actions based on the ammeter readings to ensure safe operation.

Normal Procedures

Normal procedures include preflight checks for the propeller deice system, ensuring the ammeter reads between 7 to 11 amperes during operation. It also advises against operating the system with engines inoperative to prevent damage.

Systems Description

This section describes the auxiliary fuel tank annunciator light system, detailing its function and operational limitations. It states that the auxiliary fuel tanks should only be used during level flight and not during takeoff or landing.

Safety notes

  • Operating the propeller deice system with engines inoperative can cause slip ring pitting.
  • Do not operate the propeller deice system if the ammeter reads above 15 amps unless necessary.

DATE BEECHCRAFT LANDPLANES MODEL 9 5 - 5 5 SERIES PILOT'S OPERATING HANDBOOK AND FAA APPROVED AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENT for the GOODYEAR ELECTROTHERMAL PROPELLER DEICE GENERAL The information in this supplement is FAA approved ma- terial and must be attached to the Pilot's Operating Hand- book and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual when the airplane is equipped with a Goodyear Electrothermal Pro- peller Deice System that has been installed in accordance with BEECHCRAFT FAA approved data. This document supersedes or adds to the Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual only where covered in the items contained herein. LIMITATIONS Do not operate the system unless engine is operating. Airplanes equipped with approved emergency static air source, surface deicing systems, pitot heat, heated stall warning, windshield defogging or storm windows, and ex- ternal antenna mast capable of withstanding ice load are considered to be equipped for flight into icing conditions as governed by operational practices of Bureau of Flight Standards Release No. 434. When not equipped ac- cordingly a placard as shown must be installed. FAA Approved Revised: October, 1 9 7 8 P/N 5 5 - 5 9 0 0 0 0 - 5 1 PLACARDS On Instrument Panel: WARNING THIS AIRCRAFT IS NOT FULLY EQUIPPED FOR FLIGHT I N ICING CONDITIONS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 1. Loss of one generator, off-load unnecessary electrical equipment. Turn off the propeller deice system while operating the cabin heater blower or the landing gear motor. Monitor electrical loads so as not to exceed generator capacity. 2 . Abnormal Reading on Propeller Deice Ammeter a. Zero Amps Check propeller deice switch. If the circuit breaker in the switch has tripped, a wait of approximately 30 seconds is necessary before resetting the switch to the ON position. If ammeter reads 0 and switch has not tripped or if ammeter still reads 0 after the switch has been reset, turn the switch off and consider t h e propeller deice system inoperative. b. Zero to 7 Amps If propeller deice system ammeter occasionally or regularly indicates less than 7 amps, operation of the propeller deice system can continue unless serious propeller imbalance results from irregular ice throw-offs. FAA Approved Revised: October, 1 9 7 8 P/N 55-590000-51 c. 1 1 to 1 5 Amps If propeller deice system ammeter occasionally or regularly indicates 1 1 to 1 5 amps, operation of the propeller deice system can continue unless serious propeller imbalance results from irregular ice throw-offs. d. More than 15 Amps If the propeller deice system ammeter occasionally or regularly indicates more than 1 5 amps, the system should not be operated unless the need for propeller deice is urgent. NORMAL PROCEDURES WARNING To minimize slip ring pitting, do not operate the system w i t h engines inoperative. PREFLIGHT 1 . W i t h engines operating, place propeller deice switch i n the ON position. 2. Check propeller deice system ammeter for reading of 7 to I 1 amperes. 3. A small momentary deflection of the needle may be noticed approximately every 30 seconds: This is due to the switching action of the timer and is an indication of normal operation of the system. F A A Approved Revised: October, 1978 P/N 55-590000-51 IN FLIGHT 1. To place the system i n operation, move propeller deice switch to the ON position. The system may be oper- ated continuously i n flight and w i l l function au- tomatically until the switch is turned off. 2. Propeller imbalance may be relieved by varying rpm. Increase rpm briefly and return to desired setting, re- peating if necessary. PERFORMANCE - No change Approved: &J Chester A.
