Overview

This document is a pilot checklist specifically designed for the Beechcraft G36 Bonanza equipped with the Whirlwind System III. It serves as a comprehensive guide for pilots to ensure all necessary preflight, in-flight, and post-flight procedures are followed to maintain safety and operational efficiency. The checklist includes detailed steps for preflight inspections, engine start procedures, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, and emergency procedures. It is intended for use by pilots to facilitate a systematic approach to flight operations, ensuring that all critical checks are performed before and during flight.

Ensure the landing gear emergency hand crank is stowed and accessible before flight.
Check fuel quantity and ensure it is above 13 gallons in each main tank before takeoff.
Perform a thorough preflight inspection, including checking all control surfaces and systems.
Follow specific starting procedures for cold, hot, and flooded starts to ensure engine reliability.
In case of engine failure, maintain control and establish a glide speed of 85-110 KIAS.

Prefight Inspection

The preflight inspection section outlines critical checks to be performed before flight, including verifying the condition of the cabin, cockpit, fuselage, empennage, wings, and nose section. Specific items include ensuring the landing gear emergency hand crank is stowed and accessible, checking fuel quantity, and confirming that all switches are off.

Before Start

This section details the necessary preparations before starting the engine, such as completing a passenger safety briefing, adjusting seats and rudder pedals, and ensuring the throttle is closed. It emphasizes the importance of checking the fuel selector valve and ensuring the battery and alternator switches are on.

Starting Procedures

The starting procedures provide step-by-step instructions for cold, flooded, and hot starts, including specific throttle and mixture settings. It also includes cautions regarding starter engagement duration.

Before Takeoff

Before takeoff, pilots must verify that brakes are held, seat belts are fastened, and engine instruments are checked. The section emphasizes the importance of ensuring proper gyro operation and conducting final checks of the aircraft's systems.

Emergency Procedures

The emergency procedures section outlines critical actions to take in various emergency scenarios, such as engine failure during takeoff, in-flight engine failure, and engine fire. It includes memory items and detailed steps to ensure pilot safety and aircraft control.

Safety notes

Do not fly the aircraft with a loose exhaust stack tailpipe.
Do not take off if gauges indicate in yellow arc or with less than 13 gallons in each main tank.
Never taxi on a flat shock strut.

Throttle…………………………….FULL OPEN (29.6 in. Hg.) NOTE MAP may increase to 30-32 in Hg. on the first flight of the day due to colder oil temperature. This is acceptable under these conditions but normal full throttle should be 29.6 in Hg. 6. Auxiliary Fuel Pump…………….……..…OFF below 5,000 ft. density altitude, LO above 5,000 ft. density altitude. 7. Fuel Flow …………………….....……35 GPH FOR TNIO-550 or 32 GPH FOR TNIO-520 at 29.6 in. Hg. Manually lean as necessary. WARNING Use of the auxiliary fuel pump in the HI position may cause an excessively rich mixture and severely reduce available engine power or even cause the engine to cease combustion completely. The HI position should not be used during takeoff unless there is a failure of the engine driven fuel pump 8. Oil Pressure……………………………..within operating range 9. Brakes…………...….…………RELEASE to begin takeoff roll 10. Airspeed…….….…..Accelerate to and maintain takeoff speeds 11. Landing Gear……………..…RETRACT (after positive rate of climb is established) 12.

Throttle…………..……………………...…FULL THROTTLE 2. Propeller……………………………………….……2,700 RPM 3. Mixture……………………………………………FULL RICH 4. Cowl Flaps……………………………………………….OPEN 5. Airspeed………………………….……………...115-120 KIAS 6. Auxiliary Fuel Pump…….………..…….LO in the event of any fuel flow fluctuations and for extended climbs above 5,000 ft. density altitude. Use HI above 10,000 ft. density altitude. WARNING Use of the auxiliary fuel pump in the HI position may cause an excessively rich mixture and severely reduce available engine power or even cause the engine to cease combustion completely. Manually lean mixture to 35 GPH for the TNIO-550 or 32 GPH for the TNIO-520 at 29.6 in. Hg. 7. TIT…………..A normal climb TIT should be 682-715°C (1260-1310°F). TIT should not exceed 715°C (1310°F). If TIT exceeds this value, and to avoid an excessive rise in CHTs, Auxiliary Fuel Pump set to LO or set to HI if above 10,000 D.A. If problem persists, and CHTs increase from normal climb values, lower the nose and increase indicated airspeed as required. 8. Engine Temperatures………....….Monitor CHT’s. If any CHT exceeds 193°C (380°F) verify full rich fuel flow, using the boost pump as described in 6 above. If fuel flow is inadequate to keep all CHT’s below 193°C (380°F), use HI Auxiliary Fuel Pump and lean mixture (if required) to 35.0 GPH for TNIO- 550 and 32.0 GPH for TNIO-520 for the duration of the climb. Verify cowl flaps are full open. Lower the nose and increase airspeed as required to maintain the hottest CHT at or below 193°C (380°F). 9. Oxygen………ON as required. CHECK masks for proper flow. (above 12,500 MSL daytime, above 5000 MSL night time recommended) Revision 4 – December 2010 10 MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE CLIMB Same as Normal Climb except use Vy, monitor cylinder head temperatures closely – return to Normal Climb as soon as practical. LEVEL OFF AND ROP CRUISE Maximum Recommended Cruise Power..25.0 inHg at 2500 RPM Economy Cruise Power………………….23.0 inHg at 2200 RPM 1. Power…………...………………….....……SET AS DESIRED 2. Auxiliary Fuel Pump……………....……………………....OFF, (If fuel flow fluctuates, select LO.) 3. Mixture………………………TIT or EGT a least 52°C (125°F) LEVEL OFF AND LOP CRUISE 1. Airspeed…………..…….ACCELERATE TO CRUISE SPEED 2. Throttle………………………….………………..FULL OPEN 3. Cowl Flaps………………………...……….…………...CLOSE 4. Propeller……………………….…Reduce to 2,200-2,500 RPM 5. Auxiliary Fuel Pump.………………..……..OFF, if fuel flow is stable or LO if fuel flow is unstable 6. Mixture………… ...…Rich then smoothly LEAN in a period of 4-6 seconds to a fuel flow approximately: TNIO-550 TNIO-520 15.0– 16.5 GPH at 2300 RPM 13.0-14.5 GPH at 2300 RPM 16.0 – 17.5 GPH at 2500 RPM 14.5-16.0 GPH at 2500 RPM NOTE When this reduction in fuel flow is performed as described, the pilot will notice a slight deceleration of the aircraft as the mixture passes from rich of peak TIT (EGT) to lean of peak TIT (EGT). This fuel flow is at 29.6 in Hg. There can be a variation of 5% in the fuel flow because of variations in individual engines. 7. Cylinder Head Temperature……………...CHECK, if any CHT exceeds 193°C (380°F), LEAN mixture further in 0.25 GPH increments. If all CHT’s are under 193°C (380°F), mixture may be increased in 0.1 to 0.2 GPH increments. 8. Auxiliary Fuel Pump……………..after ½ hour cruise OFF, return to LO until stable fuel flow achieved. NOTE Revision 4 – December 2010 11 If unable to achieve stable fuel flow with the boost pump off, flight may continue with boost pump on LO. 9. Lights……………………………………….…AS REQUIRED 10. Oxygen…………………………….CHECK FLOW (see POH) 11. Fuel…..…………………….....SWITCH TANKS (As required) CAUTION Retarding the throttle to idle may cause engine combustion to cease, depending on the mixture setting, auxiliary fuel pump operation, and altitude. At altitudes below 18,000 feet MSL, merely advancing the throttle should cause resumption of normal engine operation. Above, 18,000 feet MSL, if engine does no restart, follow the procedures entitled, "RETARDING THROTTLE TO IDLE" in the EMERGENCY PROCEDURES section. DESCENT 1. Altimeter……...……………………………………………SET 2.
