Free account — keep the POHs & checklists you reference in one place.

Overview

The BE95 Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) is a concise guide intended for trained pilots operating the Beechcraft 95 Travel Air. It provides essential procedures and information derived from the Approved Owners Manual and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for the aircraft. The QRH is designed to assist pilots in managing both normal and emergency situations effectively. It emphasizes the importance of good judgment and safety, acknowledging that not all scenarios can be covered by checklists. The handbook includes checklists organized by flight phases, expanded procedures, performance data, and emergency protocols, ensuring pilots have quick access to critical information during flight operations.

  • Total fuel capacity is 112 gallons, with 106 gallons usable.
  • Maximum takeoff weight is 4,000 lbs.
  • Minimum runway length for operations is 3,000 ft.
  • Oil pressure must be indicated within 30 seconds after starting the engine.
  • Mixtures should be rich for takeoff and lean during cruise.

Normal Checklists

The Normal Checklists are structured by flight phases, ensuring that pilots complete necessary tasks in sequence. Key items include preflight checks, interior and exterior inspections, and before-start procedures, all aimed at ensuring the aircraft is ready for safe operation.

Expanded Procedures & Limitations

This section elaborates on specific checklist items and aircraft limitations, including starting procedures, oil pressure indications, and ground operations. It highlights critical operational limits such as minimum oil levels and starter duty cycles.

Performance Data

The Performance section provides selected performance tables relevant to the Beechcraft 95, including fuel capacities, weight limits, and airspeeds. It outlines maximum takeoff weight and fuel usage, essential for flight planning.

Abnormal/Emergency Checklists

This section details procedures for handling abnormal and emergency situations, emphasizing memory items and specific actions required during emergencies. It includes guidelines for landing in emergencies and decision-making flow patterns.

Flight Operations

The Flight Operations section outlines standard procedures for various flight phases, including climb, cruise, descent, and landing. It specifies power settings, airspeeds, and checklist items to ensure safe and efficient flight.

Safety notes

  • Always prioritize safety and good judgment over checklists.
  • In emergencies, land as soon as possible at the nearest suitable airport.

rev1 BE95 QRH BE95 TRAVEL AIR QUICK REFERENCE HANDBOOK VSL Aviation rev1 BE95 QRH PURPOSE The BE95 Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) is designed to assist trained pilots to verify that the proper procedures have been carried out. The QRH provides the pilot with abbreviated information derived from the Approved BE95 Owners Manual and VSL BE95 SOP to operate the airplane in most Normal and Non-normal/Emergency situations. Pilots must be aware that checklists cannot be created for all conceivable situations and are not intended to preclude good judgment. In some cases deviation from the checklists may, at the discretion of the PIC, be necessary. Under all circumstances, the first priority is to maintain safety of the airplane for the duration of the flight. NORMAL CHECKLIST The Normal Checklists are organized by phase of flight and assume completion of the previous checklist. EXPANED PROCEDURES & LIMITATIONS The Expanded Procedures & Limitations contains detailed explanations of certain run-up checklist items and pertinent aircraft limitations. PERFORMANCE The Performance Section contains partial selection of performance tables from the BE95 Travel Air Owners Manual. MANEUVERS The Maneuvers Section contains checklists and abbreviated explanations of flight training maneuvers for the BE95. For more detailed explanations and flight profiles refer to the VSL BE95 SOP or Approved BE95 Owners Manual. VSL Aviation rev1 BE95 QRH ABNORMAL/EMERGENCY CHECKLISTS The Abnormal/Emergency checklists contain only those items and procedures that differ from the normal operations of the airplane. Each Abnormal/Emergency situation addressed in the checklist will contain the following conventions, as required: 1. Memory items enclosed within a red box must be read and verified after they are completed. 2. Checklist items/switch movement items preceded by a bullet (●). 3. Other instructions or actions proceeded by a dash (-). 4. Landing Considerations: This information specific to the malfunction and is used to supplement the normal operations of the airplane. The Landing Considerations must be reviewed as part of the approach briefing. 5. The Statement “Land as soon as possible” is defined as: - Land at the nearest suitable airport that offers sufficient landing distance available and if required, emergency services to support the emergency or abnormality. The primary consideration is the safety of the occupants. Extreme situations can require an off airport landing. 6. The Statement “Land as soon as practical” is defined as: - Land at a suitable airport. The primary consideration is the urgency of the emergency or abnormal situation. The training should be discontinued but continuing to the destination airport or an alternate airport with appropriate service facilities can be an option. A decision flow pattern concept is used throughout the QRH as applicable, utilizing the decision rhomb symbol (♦). This decision symbol indicates a flow pattern, which points to two or more possible courses of action. The procedure is completed once the (- END -) symbol is reached. Following completion of the appropriate Abnormal / Emergency checklist, the Normal checklist will be used as modified by the Abnormal / Emergency Checklist for the remainder of the flight.

DO NOT rely on the green indicator light, as the gear may be down but not fully locked in this condition. Warning: If the gear is manually extended in an actual emergency situation, DO NOT move any landing gear controls or reset any circuit breakers until the aircraft is on jacks, as the failure may be in the gear-up circuit. This could cause the gear to retract on the ground . Caution: The manual extension system is designed only to lower the landing gear. DO NOT attempt to retract the landing gear manually. • Landing Gear Relay C/B .......................................................................
