GROUND PROCEDURES Beech Sierra C24R
Beechcraft C24R Sierra · Pilot's Operating Handbook
Overview
This document serves as the Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) for the Beechcraft C24R Sierra, providing essential ground and flight procedures for pilots. It includes detailed checklists for pre-flight, engine start, takeoff, in-flight operations, and emergency procedures. The handbook is designed to ensure safe operation and compliance with aviation standards. Pilots will find critical information regarding aircraft speeds, weights, and operational limits, as well as step-by-step instructions for various flight scenarios. This document is intended for both new and experienced pilots operating the Beechcraft C24R Sierra.
- Vso: 60 KIAS, Vs: 65 KIAS, Vr: 66 KIAS, Vx: 71 KIAS, Vy: 85 KIAS, Vno: 143 KIAS, Vne: 168 KIAS.
- Maximum takeoff weight: 2750 lbs, maximum landing weight: 2750 lbs, maximum baggage: 270 lbs.
- Normal takeoff requires a rotation speed of 66 KIAS and a climb speed of Vy 85 KIAS.
- In case of engine failure during flight, establish best glide speed at 91 KIAS and select a landing site.
- Shutdown procedures include leaning the mixture and securing the aircraft with pitot covers and tie downs.

Ground Procedures
This section outlines the necessary ground procedures before flight, including checks for required documents, parking brake settings, control locks, and fuel quantity indicators. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring all switches are off, circuit breakers are checked, and the battery switch is on. Specific checks for each section of the aircraft, including wings, landing gear, and nose section, are detailed to ensure safety and readiness for flight.
V-Speeds
The V-speeds for the Beechcraft C24R Sierra are critical for safe operation. Vso is 60 KIAS, Vs is 65 KIAS, Vr is 66 KIAS, Vx is 71 KIAS, Vy is 85 KIAS, Vg is 91 KIAS, Vno is 143 KIAS, and Vne is 168 KIAS. The maximum takeoff and landing weights are both 2750 lbs, with a maximum baggage capacity of 270 lbs. These speeds are essential for various phases of flight, including takeoff, climb, and landing.
Normal Takeoff Procedures
Normal takeoff procedures include completing a takeoff briefing, verifying door closure, ensuring the fuel pump is off, and setting the mixture to full rich. The takeoff trim must be verified, and the power lever should be set to full forward. The aircraft should be rotated at 66 KIAS, with landing gear retracted after a positive rate of climb is established.
Emergency Procedures
This section details emergency procedures, including engine failure during flight, forced landing protocols, and engine fire in flight. Pilots are instructed to establish best glide speed at 91 KIAS and to transmit a mayday call on 121.5. Specific actions for various emergency scenarios are outlined to ensure pilots can respond effectively.
Shutdown Procedures
Shutdown procedures include setting the parking brake, reducing throttle, leaning the mixture, and checking avionics. The document specifies the sequence of actions to ensure the aircraft is properly secured after landing, including installing pitot covers and tying down the aircraft.
Safety notes
- Do not attempt to restart the engine after an engine fire in flight.
- Ensure the fuel selector valve is off during an emergency landing.
- Do not take off with either fuel tank in the yellow arc.
