NOTE: Increases in Engine Horsepower over the TCDS will require reduced Manifold Pressure. (b) SpeedBrake switch ON to extend SpeedBrakes. (c) SpeedBrake switch OFF to retract SpeedBrakes. FINAL APPROACH (a) Fly a high base leg and final approach. Extend wing flaps as desired and place the SpeedBrake switch ON to extend the SpeedBrakes. NOTE: The SpeedBrake switch may be operated intermittently, as required, to modulate the glide path. (b) Maintain an 80 to 90 KIAS approach speed by establishing a moderately steep, nose-down attitude. NOTE: Increase the aircraJi nose down attitude in anticipation of increased drag as the SpeedBrake System is actuated. NOTE: In apower off approach, the use of SpeedBrakes and Flaps provides excessive descent rate.

to be reduced approximately the same amount as flight with landing gear extended. (c) In the unlikely event of one SpeedBrake Cartridge deploying while the other remains retracted, a maximum of 10% of corrective aileron travel and 5 Ibs. of rudder pressure are required for coordinated flight fiom stall through Vne. Indication of this condition will be noted by the only one annunciator light illuminated with the SpeedBrake Switch in the ON position. (d) Aircraft Stall Speeds are 2 to 6 knots greater than those listed in the Aircraft POH with SpeedBrakes Deployed.

SECTION 7 - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF THE PRECISE FLIGHT SPEEI~BRAKE2000 SYSTEM Precise Flight SpeedBrake 2000 System is installed to provide expedited descents at low cruise power, glide path control on final approach, airspeed reduction and an aid to the prevention of excessive engine cooling in descent. The SpeedBrakes can be extended at aircraft speeds up to Vne. W-G: If icing is encountered with the SpeedBrakes extended, retract the SpeedBrakes immediately. The Series 2000 SpeedBrake System consists of wing mounted electrically actuated SpeedBrake Cartridges. Each SpeedBrake Cartridge is interconnected electronically by a central logic-switching unit and a SpeedBrake actuator switch. The SpeedBrake Cartridges receive electrical power kom the aircraft electrical buss through a disconnect type circuit breaker. The SpeedBrake push button switch is located on the Pilot's control wheel yoke outside left hand arm or on the panel. The switch is depressed once to fully extend and is depressed again to fully retract the SpeedBrakes. The system features annunciation to indicate the status of the SpeedBrake system. Annunciator ON - Individual units Extended - Annunciator OFF - Individual units Retracted or a possible malfunction exists. NOTE: Thefailure o f a single cartridge extending will prevent the Speedbrake annunciatorfi.om illuminating.

The Annunciator will illuminate after the SpeedBrake Switch is depressed ON and both brakes are in the fully extended position. If the annunciator fails to illuminate and one or both brakes do not extend after the switch is depressed on, it indicates a failure of one SpeedBrake cartridge and the SpeedBrake switch should be depressed OFF. The system can be checked again for proper operation, but after the second attempt the SpeedBrake switch should be left OFF. When the SpeedBrake Switch is depressed to the OFF position, the annunciator will extinguish when both brakes are retracting into the wing. The central logic unit will disconnect SpeedBrake clutch power to both SpeedBrake cartridges if one cartridge does not reach full extension, however, the drive motors will continue to operate until the SpeedBrake Switch is depressed OFF. The central-logic unit also disconnects clutch power within 10 degrees of the M y stowed position on every retraction. NOTE: A SpeedBrake cartridge that operates, but does not filly stow flush with the wing surface, is an indication of a failed cartridge clutch. Place the SpeedBrake circuit breaker in the pulled position and have maintenance personnel inspect the system per Precise Flight SpeedBrake 2000 maintenance procedures before any subsequent SpeedBrake System operation.
