Operational Limitations
This section details the operational limitations for the Cessna 340, including critical airspeeds such as Va (159 KIAS), Vne (234 KIAS), and Vno (200 KIAS). It also specifies maximum weights for takeoff (6390 lbs) and landing (6075 lbs), along with engine performance limits such as maximum continuous horsepower (335 HP) and RPM (2700). Fuel specifications and pressure limits are also included.
Emergency Procedures
The emergency procedures section outlines critical actions to take in various scenarios, such as engine failure during takeoff and in-flight emergencies. For instance, in the event of an engine failure during takeoff with speed below 91 KIAS, pilots are instructed to close the throttles immediately and land as required. The procedures also cover actions for both engines failing during cruise flight and in-flight fires.
Engine Performance Limits
This section provides detailed engine performance limits, including maximum cylinder head temperature (460 °F), oil temperature limits (maximum 240 °F, minimum 75 °F), and oil pressure limits (maximum 100 PSI, minimum 10 PSI). It also specifies the type of fuel to be used (100/130) and the total fuel capacity (203 U.S. gallons, with 199 gallons usable).
Safety notes
- Spin (Flaps UP) Prohibited
- Ensure proper fuel flow before securing inoperative engine
