Operating Limits

The operating limits for the Cessna 550 Citation II include various critical speeds: VMO above 30,500 feet is 0.705 Mach, VFE up to 15° is 202 KIAS, and VLE is 262 KIAS. The maximum landing weight is 13,500 lbs, and the maximum zero fuel weight is 11,000 lbs. The aircraft utilizes JET-A1 fuel with a maximum usable fuel quantity of 5,008 lbs. Starter limitations are specified as 30 seconds on followed by 30 seconds off, with a longer cooldown period after multiple starts.

Emergency Procedures

The checklist outlines emergency procedures for various scenarios, including engine failure or fire during takeoff. If below V1, the takeoff should be aborted with brakes applied and throttles set to idle. If above V1, the takeoff should continue with gear retracted after establishing a positive rate of climb. Additional procedures cover engine fire, electrical fire, cabin decompression, and thrust reverser deployment issues, detailing specific actions to take in each situation.

Thrust Reverser Procedures

The document provides specific actions for thrust reverser deployment issues. If thrust reversers deploy inadvertently during takeoff below V1, the takeoff should be aborted. If above V1, the emergency stow switch should be actuated after establishing a positive rate of climb. In-flight deployment of thrust reversers requires immediate attention, including reducing airspeed and checking the affected throttle.

Safety notes

  • Always follow emergency procedures as outlined in the checklist to ensure safety during flight operations.
  • Monitor airspeed closely during thrust reverser deployment scenarios to avoid exceeding limits.
