King Air B200 POH Pilot's Operating Handbook: This section includes performance data on the King Air B200. Information consists of: 1. Critical Airspeeds 2. Operating NOTAMS 3. Fuel Loading Formula Checklists: This section includes checklists for each phase of flight. 1. Pre-Flight 2. Pre-Engine Start 3. Engine Start 4. Pre-Taxi 5. Pre-Takeoff 6. Takeoff 7. Post-Takeoff 8. Climb 9. Cruise 10. Descent 11. Pre-Approach 12. Approach 13. Landing 14. Post-Landing 15. Parking 1. Critical Airspeeds Taxi: • Max. 22 Knots on straight taxiways • Max. 16 Knots in turns • Max. 12 Knots approaching gates/parking areas Takeoff: • V1 - Decision Speed = 74 Knots • Vr - Rotate Speed = 96 Knots Climb Rate: • Climb Rate: Set to 1,800 ft./min. (Higher rates of climb, up to 2,500 ft./min. are permitted.) • Note: Climb rate is normally dictated by airspeed - that is, you fly a certain airspeed that yields a certain climb rate. This POH specifies a climb rate instead to give you, the pilot in command, a guide to climb performance of this aircraft. Climb Airspeed: • Departure Altitude to 10,000 ft. - no greater than 250 KIAS • Above 10,000 ft. - Fly Mach Number = 0.48 - 0.50 • Vne/Mmo - Never Exceed/Maximum Mach Number = .0.53 Cruise Airspeed: • 0.46 - 0.49 • Vfe = 200 kts • Vno =259 kts • Vne = 302 kts • Mmo = 0.53 Descent Information: • To calculate Top Of Descent point (the point at which you need to begin your descent to reach the desired altitude at the desired time): Use 4.9 miles per minute (at Mach .49 in descent - 250 KIAS below 10,000 ft. MSL) as the basis. This is a "No Wind" calculation. If you have a tailwind, the miles per minute will be greater; if you have a headwind, the miles per minute will be lower. • Descend with Auto-throttle set to hold Mach .47 to 10,000 ft. MSL - set to 230 KIAS below 10,000 ft. MSL. • Set descent rate to 1,800 ft./min Approach Information: • Approach Airspeed: • Initial Phase - 180 KIAS • Approach Course Intercept - 150 to 170 KIAS • Final Approach (Stab. on ILS or Visual Approach) - Begin to decrease airspeed to landing airspeed of 115 KAIS. • Flaps: Safe Deployment Airspeed: 195 KIAS • Begin to configure the aircraft for the approach with flaps deployment beginning at 160 KIAS. To provide for a stabilized approach, have the aircraft fully configured for landing (gear down, spoiler armed, full flaps) at 5 NM from landing. • At Outer Marker: Deploy Landing Gear Landing: • Minimum Runway Length: 2,800 ft. • Target Landing Airspeed: 100 KIAS • Landing Speed can be decreased to 84 KIAS for shorter runways. When landing at speeds lower than 115 KIAS, you will need to maintain a higher power setting and steeper body angle to prevent excessive rate of descent. • Check flaps full and gear down at 500 ft. above airport altitude. • Upon landing (all gear on runway) • Apply brakes as needed to safely exit runway • Exit runway at 15 Knots or less. 2. Operating NOTAMS: • None at this time. 3. Fuel Loading Formula • Range = 1,883 NM • Max fuel: 3645 lb • Fuel Burn Rate Factor = 0.552 • Fuel Base Amount = 885 lb (this is the basic fuel load per flight and includes fuel for taxi, climb, descent and reserves) NOTAM: You can always use a full fuel load if you expect headwinds or want an extra measure of safety. Note that the Fuel Loading Formula is specific for No Wind conditions. A tailwind will decrease the amount of fuel consumed. A headwind will increase the amount of fuel consumed. Note that fuel consumption varies with your cruising settings. Expect separate sheet with critical data to come. ((Fuel Base Amount)+(Trip Distance * Fuel Burn Rate Factor))/2 = Fuel Load Per Tank Checklists: Pre-Flight: • Select departure airport and position aircraft at gate • Engines off • Set airspeed indicator to read Indicated Airspeed • Flight plan completed • Fuel Load computed and loaded • Departure procedures reviewed and charts/documents at hand • Weather for flight set • Log sheet ready Pre-Engine Start: • Parking Brake Set • Waypoints loaded into FMS (Flight Management System) • Nav Radios Set • Com Radios Set • Copy ATIS Engine Start: • Parking Brake Set • Engine Area Clear • Throttle Set to Idle • Start Fuel Flow • Start Engines • Check Engine Operating Normally Pre-Taxi: • Flaps 1 (NOTAM: Flaps are "0" when retracted and "3" when fully deployed. Flaps "3" indicates the third detent.) • Check Control Continuity: • Confirm Full Aileron Movement • Confirm Full Rudder Movement • Confirm Full Elevator Movement • Push Back • Release Parking Brake • Taxi to departure runway - set parking brake when holding short of departure runway Pre-Takeoff: • Check parking brake set • Check Set to Flaps 1 • Check engine operating normally • Auto Pilot On (Do not engage individual A/P functions until airborne.) • Airspeed set to 230 KIAS • Departure heading set (Runway Heading Unless Otherwise Directed or Necessary For Safe Departure.) • "Cleared to" altitude set (This is the altitude you received during your departure) • Taxi into position and hold Takeoff: • Release Parking Brake • Set power to maximum thrust (full throttle) • V1 = 74 Knots (Decision Speed) • Vr = 96 Knots (Rotate Speed) • Initial climb at 9° BA (Body Angle) • Positive Rate Of Climb - Gear Up • Retract Flaps: • Flaps Two: 110 KIAS • Flaps One: 145 KIAS • Flaps Retracted: 170 KIAS Post Takeoff: • Engage Auto-throttle • Engage Heading Hold • Engage Altitude Hold • Check gear up • Check flaps up • Check A/P Functioning Properly Climb: • Rate of Climb - 2,100 ft./min. (Set to 2,500 ft./min. for expedited climb.) • Airspeed • 250 KIAS under 10,000 ft. • Mach . 0.49 - 0.51 above 10,000 ft. • Increase throttle as needed to hold published climb airspeed Cruise: • Airspeed • Mach . 0.49 - 0.51 • Vne/Mmo - Mach .53 (Never Exceed/Maximum Mach Number) • Ensure On Course Navigation • Log TO and cruis data continuously Descent: • Set Auto-Throttle to desired airspeed - not to exceed 250 KIAS below 10,000 ft.
