Operating Limitations
This section provides essential operating limitations for the Cessna 402C, including airspeeds in knots (KIAS) for various maneuvers such as Va (150 KIAS), Vne (235 KIAS), and Vfe (180 KIAS). It also lists weight limitations, with a maximum take-off weight of 6850 lbs and a maximum baggage weight of 350 lbs. Engine operating limitations include a maximum continuous power of 325 HP and a maximum RPM of 2700.
Engine Securing Procedure
In the event of an engine failure, the procedure begins with closing the throttle, setting the mixture to idle cut-off, and feathering the propeller. This is crucial for securing the inoperative engine and ensuring the safety of the flight.
Engine Failure During Takeoff
If an engine failure occurs during takeoff with speed below 95 KIAS or with the gear down, the pilot must close the throttles immediately and apply brakes or land as required. This quick response is vital for maintaining control of the aircraft.
Engine Failure After Takeoff
For engine failure after takeoff with speed above 91 KIAS, the procedure involves setting the mixtures to full rich, propellers full forward, and throttles full forward, while checking that the landing gear is up. This ensures optimal performance from the operative engine.
In-Flight Engine Fire
In case of an in-flight engine fire, the procedures include turning off both auxiliary fuel pumps, securing the appropriate engine, and feathering the propeller. These steps are critical to managing the emergency and preventing further escalation.
Emergency Descent
The emergency descent procedure involves reducing throttle to idle, setting propellers full forward, and adjusting mixtures for smooth engine operation. The landing gear should be up, and a moderate bank should be initiated to facilitate a controlled descent.
Safety notes
- Always verify fuel quantity and oil pressure before securing an inoperative engine.
- In case of engine failure, maintain control of the aircraft by adjusting power and pitch as necessary.
