CAS 126 KCAS IAS 128 KIAS CAS 145 MCAS IAS 147 MIAS PREFLIGHT INSPECTION Fuel drains are located on the lower surface of each tip tank. Drain these points daily before the first flight to purge any water from the system. Check security of flush mounted tip tank filler caps during preflight inspection. Before flight, check the tip tanks for unsymmetrical fuel loading. If fuel tank capacities differ more than 1/4 tank, relocate fuel prior to take-off. See Section 7, Systems for additional information. SECTION V PERFORMANCE The performance of this airplane operated according to STC(S) SA153EA or SA02722CH is equal to or better than the performance listed in the original Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) except that take-off and landing distance, and rate-of-climb charts originally presented for this model do not apply to this STC modification. Increase AFM/POH take-off and landing chart values by 13.5%, and decrease rate-of-climb chart values by 6% when operating at the new maximum gross weight. In addition, range and endurance information in the original Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) does not apply to this STC modification. When operating at maximum gross weight with no tip tank fuel, decrease AFM/POH range data by 6%, and endurance information by 9%. These percentages do not account for additional range and endurance allowed by tip tank fuel.

Take-offs are prohibited with more than 1/4 difference in tip tank fuel quantity. During flight if tip tank fuel quantity gauges indicate more than 1/2 tank difference the landing should be made with flaps up. Tip tank fuel is transferred into its respective main tank by an electric pump at a rate of approximately 15 gallons per hour. The transfer pump and a solenoid valve are mounted inside the wheel well of each wing on the rib at wing station 66. At higher power settings, fuel consumption may exceed the fuel transfer rate to the main tank selected. Tip tank transfer pump switches are located either on the face of the instrument panel or between the front seats on the partition assembly forward of the main spar truss. The pump and solenoid valve circuit breaker is installed adjacent to the pump switches. A fuel drain is provided on the lower surface of each tip tank. Fuel quantity is measured by observing the fuel level on a sight gauge located on the inboard side of each tip tank. Normal tip tank fuel transfer should be accomplished simultaneously to maintain symmetrical wing tip tank fuel loading. Initiate transfer with the left main at 1/2 full and feeding the engine. During the transfer, monitor fuel gauges for both main tanks and stop transfer if gauge indicates full to prevent overflow of fuel through the main tank vent tubes.
