Power Settings and V-Speeds
The document outlines six critical power settings for the Beechcraft Duchess BE-76: Climb Power at 25" MP and 2500 RPM, Normal Cruise at 23" MP and 2300 RPM, Slow Cruise at 20" MP and 2300 RPM, Pattern/Landing at 18" MP and 2300 RPM, and Slowing during Clearing Turns at 18" MP and 2300 RPM. It also highlights the importance of following the AFM/POH in case of discrepancies.
V-Speeds and Memory Items
Key V-speeds for the Beechcraft Duchess include a maximum ramp weight of 3916 lbs, maximum takeoff and landing weight of 3900 lbs, maximum zero fuel weight of 3500 lbs, and a maximum baggage weight of 200 lbs.
Slow Flight
The procedure for slow flight involves establishing a power setting of 17" MP, lowering the gear below 140 KIAS, and configuring the flaps progressively to 35 degrees below 110 KIAS. The target airspeed to maintain is 70 KIAS.
Power-Off Stall
This maneuver demonstrates recovery from a stall in the landing configuration, requiring a minimum altitude of 3000 feet and a series of steps to safely recover from the stall condition.
Normal / Crosswind Takeoff
For a normal or crosswind takeoff, the procedure includes using maximum available runway, holding brakes while increasing power to full, and rotating at 71 KIAS. The climb speed should be maintained at 85 KIAS.
Approach & Landing with Inoperative Engine
This section details the procedure for landing safely with one engine inoperative, emphasizing the need for a stabilized approach and maintaining a minimum airspeed of 85 KIAS during final approach.
Safety notes
- Always follow the procedures in the AFM/POH in case of discrepancies with this manual.
- Maintain a minimum altitude of 3000 feet for certain maneuvers to ensure safety.

STANDARD FLIGHT TRAINING PROCEDURES BEECHCRAFT DUCHESS BE-76 INTRODUCTION The following guide is intended to reduce both student and instructor frustration by standardizing most of the maneuvers you will encounter during your flight training. By no means is this document intended to replace governing directives, manuals and procedures. It merely supplements established FAA guidance and is specific to the aircraft you will train in at AIAA. It should be noted that sometimes it might be necessary to deviate from these standards depending on conditions. These standards are based on procedures derived from the FARs/AIM, FAA handbooks, FAA evaluators and our very own flight instructors. Additionally, your flight instructor will provide more details and techniques for performing the various maneuvers. 1 POWER SETTINGS AND V-SPEEDS Included in this document are the standard training procedures for flight training received in the Beechcraft Duchess BE76 aircraft here at Advanced International Aviation Academy. Maneuvers found in this manual have been reduce to create an efficient and stream-lined training process. The BE76 has six power settings each pilot should remember. 1. Climb Power-………………………………25”MP, 2500 RPM 2. Normal Cruise-…………………………….23”MP, 2300 RPM 3. Slow Cruise-……………………………….20”MP, 2300 RPM 4. Pattern / Landing-…………………………18”MP, 2300 RPM 5. Slowing during Clearing Turns-………….18”MP, 2300 RPM *As always, if the approved Airplane Flight Manual and this Maneuvers Checklist disagree, the procedure in the AFM/POH should be followed in the interest of safety. Landing Speed Considerations Note that there are slight differences in the speeds in our procedures and those specified in the Pilot’s Operating Handbook. Our speeds are slightly higher in order to add a margin of safety should an engine fail while in the landing phase. Accordingly, when calculating landing distances, you should account for the extra speed needed to a complete stop. 2 V-SPEEDS AND MEMORY ITEMS Max Ramp Weight 3916 Max TO & Landing Weight 3900 Max Zero Fuel Weight 3500 Max Weight in Baggage 200 lbs 3 Clearing Turns Objective: To visually clear the area surrounding the aircraft so as to not pose a collision hazard to any other traffic Restrictions Minimum Optimum Maximum Altitude 3000 3000 3000 Speed 110 110 110 Procedure 1.
