Whenever possible, they have been categorized for ready reference. AIRSPEED TERMINOLOGY AND SYMBOLS CAS Calibrated Airspeed is the indicated speed of an airplane, corrected for position and instrument error. Calibrated airspeed is equal to true airspeed in standard atmosphere at sea level. GS TAS Ground Speed is the speed of an airplane relative to the ground. Indicated Airspeed is the speed of an airplane as shown on the airspeed indicator. lAS values pubfished in this handbook assume zero instrument error. True Airspeed is the airspeed of an airplane relative to undisturbed air which is the CAS corrected for altitude, temperature, and compressibility. YMCA Air Minimum Control Speed is the minimum flight speed at which the airplane is directionally controllable as determined in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations. The airplane certification conditions include one engine becoming inoperative and windmilling, a 5- degree bank towards the operative engine, take- off power on operative engine, landing gear up, flaps in take-off position, and most rearward e.G. For some conditions of weight and altitude. stall 1-12 September, 1980 lAS I BEECHCRAFT Baron 68 Serial TH 773 and After Section I General 1-13 can be encountered at speeds above V MeA as established by the Certification procedure described above, in which event stall speed must be regarded as the \imit of effective directional control. VSSE The Intentional One-Engine-Inoperative Speed is a speed above both VMCA and stall speed, selected to provide a margin of lateral and directional control when one engine is suddenly rendered inoperative. Intentional failing of one engine below this speed is not recommended. VA Maneuvering Speed is the maximum speed at which application of full available aero- dynamic control will not overstress the airplane. VF Design flap speed is the highest speed permissible at which wing flaps may be actuated. VFE Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed permissible with wing flaps in a pre- scribed extended position. VLE Maximum Landing Gear Extended Speed is the maximum speed at which an airplane can be safely flown with the landing gear extended. VNE Never Exceed Speed is the speed limit that may not be exceeded at any time. VLO Maximum Landing Gear Operating Speed is the maximum speed at which the landing gear can be safely extended or retracted. VNQ Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the or vc speed that should not be exceeded except .in smooth air and then only with caution. October 1978 Section I General BEECHCRAFT Baron 58 Serial TH 773 and After Vs Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable. VSO Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable in the landing configuration. Vx Best Angle-of-Climb Speed is the airspeed which delivers the greatest gain of altitude in the shortest possible horizontal distance. Vy Best Rate-of-Climb Speed is the airspeed which delivers the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest possible time. METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY ISA International Standard Atmosphere in which (1) The air is a dry perfect gas; (2) The temperature at sea level is 15 0 Celsi us (59 0 Fahrenheit); (3) The pressure at sea level is 29.92 inches Hg. (1013.2 millibars); (4) The temperature gradient from sea level to the altitude at which the temperature is -56.5° C (-69.7° F) is -0.00198° C (-0.003566° F) per foot and zero above that altitude. OAT Outside Air Temperature is the free air static temperature, obtained either from inflight temperature indications adjusted for instrument error and compressibility effects, or ground'meteorological sources. Indicated Pressure Altitude 1-14 The number actually read from an altimeter when the barometric sub- scale has been set to 29.92 inches of mercury (1013.2 millibars). October 1976 BEECHCRAFT Baron 58 Serial TH 773 and After Section I General Pressure Altitude Station Pressure Wind Altitude measured from standard sea-level pressure (29.92 in. Hg) by a pressure or barometric altimeter. It is the indicated pressure altitude corrected for position and instrument error. In this Handbook, altimeter instrument errors are assumed to be zero. Position errors may be obtained from the Altimeter Correction Chart. Actual atmospheric pressure at field elevation. The wind velocities recorded as variables on the charts of this hand- book are to be understood as the head- wind or tailwind components of the reported winds. POWER TERMINOLOGY Take-off and Maximum Continuous Cruise Climb Maximum Cruise The highest power rating not limited by time. Power recommended for cruise climb. The highest power settings recom- mended for cruise. Recommended Intermediate power settings Cruise for which cruise power settings are presented. Economy Cruise October 1976 The lowest power setting for which cruise power settings are presented. 1-15 Section I General BEECHCRAFT Baron 58 Serial TH 773 and After Highest power rating within the normal operating range. Noise characteristics requirements of FAR 36 have been demonstrated at this power rating. IMaximum Normal Operating Power I(MNOP) ENGINE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS TERMINOLOGY Throttle Controls Propeller Controls Mixture Controls Propeller Governors Manifold Pressure Gage 1-16 The lever used to control the introduc- tion of a fuel-air mixture into the intake passages of an engine. This lever requests the governor to maintain rpm at a selected value and, in the maximum decrease rpm position, feathers the propellers. This lever, in the idle cut-off position, stops the flow of fuel at the injectors and in the intermediate thru the full rich positions, regulates the fuel air mixture. The governors maintain the selected rpm requested by the propeller control levers. An instrument that measures the ab- solute pressure in the intake manifold of an engine, expressed in inches of mercury (in. Hg). September, 1980 BEECHCRAFT Baron 58 Serial TH 773 and After Section I General Tachometer An instrument that indicates the ro- tational speed of the propeller (and en- gine) in revolutions per minute (rpm). AIRPLANE PERFORMANCE AND FLIGHT PLANNING TERMINOLOGY Climb Gradient Demonstrated Crosswind Velocity Accelerate- Stop Distance Accelerate- Go Distance MEA The ratio of the change in height during a portion of a climb, to the horizontal distance traversed in the same time interval. The demonstrated crosswind velocity is the velocity of the crosswind com- ponent for which adequate control of the airplane during take-off and land- ing was actually demonstrated during certification tests. The distance required to accelerate to a specified speed and, assuming failure of an engine at the instant that speed is attained, to bring the airplane to a stop. The distance required to accelerate to a specified speed and, assuming failure of an engine at the instant that speed is attained, feather inoperative propeller and continue takeoff on the remaining engine to a height of 50 feet. Minimum enroute IFR altitude. September, 1979 1-17 Section I General Route Segment GPH BEECHCRAFT Baron 58 Serial TH 773 and After A part of a route. Each end of that part is identified by: (1) a geograph- ical location; or (2) a point at which a definite radio fix can be established. U.S. Gallons per hour. WEIGHT AND BALANCE TERMINOLOGY Reference Datum Station Arm Moment Airplane Center of Gravity (C.G.) 1-18 An imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal distances are measured for balance purposes. A location along the airplane fuselage usually given in terms of distance from the reference datum. The horizontal distance from the ref- erence datum to the center of gravity (C.G.) of an item. The product of the weight of an item multiplied by its arm. (Moment divided by a constant is used to simplify bal- ance calculations by reducing the number of digits.) The point at which an airplane would balance if suspended. Its distance from the reference datum is found by dividing the total moment by the total weight of the airplane.

The following information is presented to enable the pilot to form, in advance, a definite plan at action for coping with the most probable emergency situations which could occur in the operation of the airplane. Where practicable, the emergencies requiring immediate corrective action are treated in check list form for easy reference and familiari- zation. Other situations, in which more time is usually per- mitted to decide on and execute a plan of action, are discussed at some length. In order to supply one safe speed for each type of emergency situation, the airspeeds pre- sented were derived at 5400 Ibs. ONE ENGINE OPERATION Two major factors govern one engine operations; airspeed and directional control. The airplane can be safely maneu- Revised: March 1983 3-3 Section III Emergency Proced ures BEECHCRAFT Baron 58 Serial TH 773 and After vered or trimmed for normal hands-off operation and sustained in this configuration by the operative engine AS LONG AS SUFFICIENT AIRSPEED IS MAINTAINED. DETERMINING INOPERATIVE ENGINE The following checks will help determine which engine has failed. 1. DEAD FOOT· DEAD ENGINE. The rudder pressure re~ quired to maintain directional control will be on the side of the good engine. 2. THROTILE. Partially retard the throttle for the engine that is believed to be inoperative; there should be no change in control pressures or in the sound of the en- gine if the correct throttle has been selected. AT LOW ALTITUDE AND AIRSPEED THIS CHECK MUST BE AC~ COMPLISHED WITH EXTREME CAUTION. Do not attempt to determine the inoperative engine by means of the tachometers or the manifold pressure gages. These instruments often indicate near normal readings. ONEMENGINE INOPERATIVE PROCEDURES ENGINE FAILURE DURING TAKE-OFF 1. Throttles - CLOSED 2. Braking - MAXIMUM If insufficient runway remains for stopping: 3. Fuel Selector Valves - OFF 4. Battery, Alternator, and Magnetq.Start Switches - OFF 3-4 Revised: March 1983 BEECHCRAFT Baron 58 Serial TH 773 and After Section III Emergency Procedures ENGINE FAILURE AFTER LIFT-OFF AND IN FLIGHT NOTE The most important aspect of engine failure is the necessity to maintain lateral and direc- tional control. If airspeed is below 81 kts, re- duce power on the operative engine as re- quired to maintain control. An immediate landing is advisable regardless of take-off weight. Continued flight cannot be assured if take-off weight exceeds the weight determined from the TAKE-OFF WEIGHT graph. Higher take-off weights will result in a loss of altitude while retracting the landing gear and feathering the propeller. Continued flight requires immediate pilot re- sponse to the following procedures. 1. landing Gear and Flaps - UP 2. Throttle (inoperative engine) - CLOSED 3. Propeller (inoperative engine) - FEATHER 4. Power (operative engine) - AS REQUIRED 5. Airspeed-MAINTAINSPEEDATENGINEFAILURE(l00 KTS MAX.) UNTIL OBSTACLES ARE CLEARED.

Loss of one alternator; turn off unnecessary electrical equipment. Turn the prop deice system off while operating the cabin heater blower or the landing gear motor. Monitor electrical loads so as not to exceed alternator capacity of 1.0 on the loadmeter. An abnormal reading on the Propeller Deice Ammeter indi- cates need for the following action: a. Zero Amps: Check prop deice circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker has tripped,- a wait of approximately 30 seconds is necessary before resetting. If ammeter reads 0 and the circuit breaker has not tripped or if the ammeter still reads 0 after the circuit breaker has been reset, turn the switch off and consider the prop deice system inoperative. 3-14 October 1976 BEECHCRAFT Baron 58 Serial TH 773 and After Section III Emergency Procedures b. Zero to 7 Amps, 2 Blade Propeller; Zero to 14Amps, 3 Blade Propeller: If the prop deice system ammeter occasionally or regularly indicates less than 7 amps for 2 blade, (or 14 amps for 3 blade), operation of the prop deice system can continue unless serious propeller im- balance results from irregular ice throw-ofts. c. 12 to 15 Amps, 2 Blade Propeller; 18 to 23 Amps, 3 Blade Propeller: If the prop deicing system ammeter occasionally or regularly indicates 12 to 15 amps for 2 blade (or 18 to 23 amps for 3 blade), operation of the prop deice system can continue unless serious propeller im- balance results from irregular ice throw-offs. d. More than 15 Amps, 2 Blade Propeller, More than 23 amps, 3 Blade Propeller: If the prop deice system ammeter occasionally or regularly indicates more than 15 amps for 2 blade, or more than 23 amps for 3 blade, the system should not be operated unless the need for prop deicing is urgent. EMERGENCY STATIC AIR SOURCE SYSTEM THE EMERGENCY STATIC AIR SOURCE SHOULD BE USED FOR CONDITIONS WHERE THE NORMAL STATIC SOURCE HAS BEEN OBSTRUCTED. When the airplane has been exposed to moisture and/or icing conditions (especially on the ground), the possibility of obstructed static ports should be considered. Partial obstructions will result in the rate of climb indication being sluggish during a climb or descent. October 1976 3-15 Section III Emergency Procedures BEECHCRAFT Baron 58 Serial TH 773 and After Verification of suspected obstruction is possible by switching to the emergency system and noting a sudden sustained change in rate of climb. This may be accompanied by abnormal indicated airspeed and altitude changes beyond normal calibration differences. Whenever any obstruction exists in the Normal Static Air System or the Emergency Static Air System is desired for use: 1. Emergency Static Air Source - Switch to ON EMERGENCY. (lower sidewall adjacent to pilot) 2. For Airspeed Calibration and Altimeter Corrections, refer to the PERFORMANCE section. CAUTION The emergency static air valve should remain in the OFF NORMAL position when system is not needed. EMERGENCY EXITS Emergency exits, provided by the openable window on each side of the cabin, may be used for egress in addition to the cabin door and the utility door. NOTE For access past the 3rd and/or 4th seats, rotate the red handle, located on the lower inboard side of the seat back. and fold the seat back over. 3-16 Revised: March 1983 BEECHCRAFTBaron58 Serial TH 773 and After To Open Each Emergency Exit: Section III Emergency Procedures Serials TH -773 thru TH -1079, Except TH -1027, TH -1062, and TH-l 067: An emergency exit placard is installed below the left and right openable windows. 1. Lift the latch. 2. Pullout the emergency release pin and push the window out. Serials TH-1027, TH-1062, TH-1067, TH-l080 and After: 1. Remove cover as indicated by placard in the center of the Ventilation/Emergency Exit latch. 2. Rotate handle up as indicated by placard, breaking safety wire, and push window out. NOTE Anytime the window has been opened by breaking the safety wire on the red emergency latch, the window must be reattached and wired by a qualified mechanic using OQ-W- 343, Type S, .020 diameter copper wire prior to further airplane operation. UNLATCHED DOOR IN FLIGHT If the cabin door is not locked it may come unlatched in flight. This may occur during or just after take-off. The door will trail in a position approximately 3 to 4 inches open. Flight characteristics of the airplane will not be affected Revised: March 1983 3-17 Section III Emergency Procedures BEECHCRAFT Baron 58 Serial TH 773 and After except for a reduction in performance. Return to the field in a normal manner. If practicable, during the landing flare- out have a passenger hold the door to prevent it from swinging open. SIMULATED ONE ENGINE INOPERATIVE ZERO THRUST (Simulated Feather) Use the following power setting (only on one engine at a time) to establish zero thrust. Use of this power setting avoids the difficulties of restarting an engine and pre- serves the availability of engine power. The following procedure should be accomplished by al- ternating small reductions of propeller and then throttle, until the desired setting has been reached. 1. Propeller Lever - RETARD TO FEATHER DETENT 2. Throttle Lever - SeT 12 in. Hg MANIFOLD PRESSURE NOTE This setting will approximate Zero Thrust using recommended One-Engine Inoperative Climb speeds. SPINS If a spin is entered inadvertently: Immediately move the control column full forward, apply full rudder opposite to the direction of the spin and reduce power on both engines to idle. These three actions should 3-18 JUly 1979 BEECHCRAFT Baron 58 Serial TH 773 and After Section III Emergency Procedures be done as near simultaneously as possible; then continue to hold this control position until rotation stops and then neutralize all controls and execute a smooth pullout. Ailerons should be neutral during recovery.
