Normal Procedures Checklists
Beechcraft G58 Baron · Normal Procedures
Overview
This document is a Normal Procedures Checklist for the Beechcraft Baron B58, specifically designed to assist pilots in conducting pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight operations. It outlines essential procedures and checklists that ensure safety and efficiency during various phases of flight. The checklist includes detailed steps for starting engines, taxiing, takeoff, cruise, descent, landing, and shutdown. It also provides recommended airspeeds for different flight conditions, ensuring pilots can maintain optimal performance. This document is crucial for both training and operational use, helping pilots adhere to standard operating procedures and enhance flight safety.
- Preflight checks must include fuel quantity and quality, parking brake set, and all electrical switches off.
- Engine start requires mixture full rich, throttle full open, and oil pressure check within 30 seconds.
- Recommended rotation speed (Vr) is 85 KIAS; minimum control speed (Vmca) is 84 KIAS.
- Cruise climb fuel flow varies by altitude; at sea level, it is 24.6 - 26.3 GPH.
- Shutdown procedures include setting the parking brake and turning off the avionics master switch.

Before Starting
This section outlines the pre-flight checks that must be completed before starting the engines. Key checks include ensuring the parking brake is set, fuel quantity and quality are checked, and all electrical switches are off. The emergency static air selector should be set to drain, then normal, and the landing gear handle must be down.
Starting Engines
The engine start procedure includes turning on the battery and alternator switches, checking fuel quantity indicators, and ensuring the landing gear position lights are illuminated. The mixture should be set to full rich, and the throttle should be fully open during the initial start sequence. After the engine fires, the throttle should be adjusted to 1000 RPM, and oil pressure must be checked to reach 10 PSI within 30 seconds.
Recommended Airspeeds (KIAS)
This section provides critical airspeed values for various flight conditions, including Vr (Rotation Speed) at 85 KIAS, Vmca (Minimum Control Speed) at 84 KIAS, and Vy (Two Engine Best Rate of Climb) at 105 KIAS. It also includes speeds for one engine inoperative scenarios and landing reference speeds.
Cruise Climb Fuel Flow Schedule
The fuel flow schedule outlines the gallons per hour (GPH) fuel consumption at various altitudes, from sea level to 17,000 feet. For example, at sea level, the fuel flow is between 24.6 - 26.3 GPH, decreasing as altitude increases.
Shutdown Procedures
The shutdown checklist includes setting the parking brake, turning off the avionics master switch, and ensuring all lights except the beacon are off. The mixture controls should be set to idle-cut-off, and the magneto/starter switches should be turned off after the engines stop.
Safety notes
- Ensure oil pressure reaches 10 PSI within 30 seconds after engine start.
- Avoid idle settings during descent to prevent CHT from dropping below 149 degrees C for extended periods.
