If an engine fails after liftoff and the landing gear is up, I will pitch for Vyse, verify maximum power, verify Gear, Flaps and Cowl Flaps are UP, IDENTIFY – VERIFY & FEATHER the inoperative engine, climb at Vyse with zero sideslip and look for lower terrain. Upon holding a safe altitude, I will review the printed checklist and take care of the operating engine. NOTE: Takeoff manifold pressure for each engine will not necessarily be the same. However, if the spread in manifold pressure exceeds 3” during a full throttle climb, the density controller settings should be checked and serviced. SHORT FIELD TAKEOFF 1. Flaps…………………………………………………….

The YAW DAMP ON light will illuminate and all annunciators will illuminate on the annunciator panel, including the three marker lights. In addition, the red TRIM failure light will flash. At least four or more flashes must be observed to indicate proper operation of the auto trim/manual electric pitch trim feature and an audible warning should sound. (NOTE: YAW Damper is not an installed option on this aircraft) (2) With the AP disengaged, run the following manual electric pitch trim checks. a. Verify that the PITCH TRIM circuit breaker is in. b. Actuate the left-side switch to the fore and aft position. The trim solenoid should engage, but the trim should not run. Actuate the right-side switch to the fore and aft positions. The trim solenoid should not engage and the trim should not run. c. Run the trim from full nose up to full nose down. The time required is 39 +/- 4 seconds. d. Grasping the manual trim wheel, run the trim both up and down and check the overpower capability. (Check that the trim indicator moves with the wheel). e. Press the AP DISC/TRIM INTERRUPT switch down and hold. The Manual electric pitch trim will not operate either up or down. (3) Engage the FD. Then engage the AP, depress the CWS switch, center the flight controls and then release the CWS switch. Apply force to the controls to determine if the AP can be overpowered. (4) Engage the FD and AP and put in a pitch (UP) command using the vertical trim switch on the Mode Controller. Hold the PA31-350 NORMAL CHECKLIST AUTOPILOT DETAILED SYSTEMS CHECK/OPERATION Version 10 N - 7 - 3 control column to keep it from moving and observe the autotrim run in the nose up direction after approximately three seconds delay. Use the vertical trim switch and put in a pitch (DN) command. Hold the control column and observe the autotrim run in the nose down direction after approximately three seconds. (5) Engage the HDG mode and the AP. Set the HDG bug to command a right turn. The control wheel will rotate clockwise. Set the HDG bug to command a left turn. The control wheel will rotate counterclockwise. (6) Toggle the Accelerometer test switch to the (UP) position; the autopilot will disengage. Re-engage the AP and toggle the switch to the (DN) position; the autopilot will disengage. NOTE: in this aircraft the accelerometer test fails. This indicates a failed accelerometer in some way. That implies a lack of autopilot failsafe in the event of an autopilot-induced high G turn or extreme pitch command. The pilot must manually disengage the autopilot if such a condition develops. CAUTION: Operation of the Autopilot on the ground may cause the Autotrim to run because of back force generated by elevator downsprings or pilot induced forces. Therefore, disengage the AP and check that the airplane manual Pitch Trim is in the Takeoff position prior to takeoff. CAUTION: If the Autopilot circuit breaker is pulled, the red “TRIM” failure light on the Annunciator panel will be disabled and the audible warning will continuously sound indicating that the failure light is disabled. In this event the “PITCH TRIM” circuit breaker should be pulled and infight Trim accomplished by using the manual Pitch Trim Wheel. PA31-350 NORMAL CHECKLIST AUTOPILOT DETAILED SYSTEMS CHECK/OPERATION Version 10 N - 7 - 4 Normal Operation PAH mode: “Pitch Attitude Hold” mode, AP follows FDI bars In PAH, “Vertical Trim” switch will chg pitch attitude 1 degree/sec ALT mode: captures pressure altitude at time ALT is depressed In ALT hold, holding “Vertical Trim” sw will change alt 500-700 fpm, new pressure altitude when sw is released will be held HDG mode: AP holds heading set by Captains Bars on PNI (HSI). NAV mode: AP holds centerline of desired VOR radial/GPS route. Set up an intercept using HDG. Engage NAV. AP will turn to intercept when arriving on centerline (any angle up to 90o). NOTE: be aware that when executing turns at waypoints, the course needle on the PNI (HSI) must be turned to the new course before the AP will turn and track the new leg. Failure to do so may result in the aircraft continuing on its previous course/heading. The AP will use aggressive angles to intercept a course, up to 45o, unless HDG mode is used to incp. APPR mode: Engineered for VOR/ILS approaches, GPS added later, follows GPD guidance like VOR/ILS. APPR ARM will display until course incp, or APPR will display if engaged when CDI already centered. APPR CPLD displays when captured. Disengages when APPR, GA, HDG, NAV modes are selected. BC mode: proceed as for normal appch. Engage BC after APPR. BC reverses commands, cannot be engaged without a LOC freq selected. Disengages when pressing BC, APPR, GA or selecting other than a LOC freq on nav receiver. Trim up/dn switch can be used to adjust ALT hold or PAH angle for vertical guidance without disengaging the mode. GA mode: depress the GA sw on the left throttle. GA illuminates. FDI commands +7 ½o pitch angle. AP disengages, cancels all vertical modes as well as APPR or NAV CPLD. Provides guidance for missed appch, ready for new AP modes. Pilot must fly manually until new AP modes engaged. PAH Procedure: 1. Engage FD command bars appear and capture the current conditions, indicating PAH (Pitch Attitude Hold). 2. Engage AP. AP follows FDI (Flt Director Indicator), for attitude hold 3. Depress CWS SYNC to reset attitude, release and FD/AP will hold new. In PAH, “Vertical Trim” switch will change pitch attitude 1 degree/sec PA31-350 NORMAL CHECKLIST AUTOPILOT DETAILED SYSTEMS CHECK/OPERATION Version 10 N - 7 - 5 Nav/VOR Procedure: 1. Tune VOR/set GPS route 2. Set desired intercept hdg with Capts Bar 3. Engage HDG mode (max of 90o recommended) 4. Set desired adial/course on CDI 5. Engage NAV. NAV ARM displays. When acft intercepts beam/crs, acft captures beam/crs, NAV CPLD displays 6. New beam/crs may be selected over the VOR/waypoint for next leg Approach Procedure: 1. Tune VOR/ILS/Set RNAV Appch 2. Sent CDI to front course 3. Set Capts Bars and engage HDG for intercept 4. Engage APPR, APPR ARM displays 5. Approaching beam/crs, acft captures, APPR CPLD displays, HDG decouples, FDI gives commands to track LOC/VOR/CRS 6. When GS is intercepted, GS couples, GS displays, disengages ALT, set Capts Bars for missed approach but do not engage HDG 7. When MM rcvd, system will switch to a more-stable track mode NOTE: Operation of the marker test function after approach coupled will reduce the flight control system gain. If this should occur, the APPR mode should be recycled. Missed Approach Procedure: At missed approach or go around point 1. Select GA on Left Throttle 2. AP disengages, Aural alert will sound 3. FDI indicates climb pitch angle 4. Manually apply power, clean up aircraft, establish climb, re-trim acft 5. AP modes may be re-engaged (HDG, PAH) for climb out procedure Back Course Procedure: same as approach mode except: 1. Tune LOC 2. Sent CDI to front course 3. Set Capts Bars and engage HDG for intercept 4. Engage APPR, APPR ARM displays 5. Engage BC, BC displays (computer reverses commands) 6. Approaching beam/crs, acft captures, APPR BC CPLD displays, HDG decouples, FDI gives commands to track LOC 7. Descent must be managed via Vertical Trim Sw DN (500-700 fpm) in ALT hold, or PAH and Vertical Trim Sw to set descent angle 8.

PA31-350 EMERGENCY CHECKLIST OTHER MALFUNCTIONS (not a POH checklist) Version 10 E - 10 - 1 Pneumatic System Malfunctions Single Engine or Single Pneumatic Pump In-Flight Operations - Observe following limitations: o 1 Pump/Eng = Good Engine 2575 RPM, 15,000’ Max - If there are no concerns regarding the remaining pump: Continue the mission, contact MX post-mission - If icing conditions may be encountered during the remaining flight: Actuate and Evaluate De-Ice function (boots) - If remaining pump malfunctions, or de-ice equipment does not function properly, take immediate action to avoid icing conditions, do not enter known icing conditions Normal Operation - 1 pump on each engine, provides 5.5 +/- .4” @ 2200 RPM - Either pump can carry the entire load - Vacuum Pumps Power: o Co-Pilot attitude and heading indicators o De-Ice boots/system - Normal Operation: o Constant vacuum applied to boots and instruments o Co-Pilots instruments are temporarily un-powered during De-Ice cycle, then back on - Single Pump Failure: o Other pump should carry the load o Preflight check De-Ice capability before flying: ▪ Press to test De-Ice lights, confirm good ▪ Engines at 2000 RPM ▪ Actuate De-Ice Switch ▪ Observe each De-ice cycle, 2 Blue lights cycle on/off ▪ Check De-Ice boots visually PA31-350 EMERGENCY CHECKLIST OTHER MALFUNCTIONS (not a POH checklist) Version 10 E - 10 - 2 Left or Right Fuel Boost Pump - Illuminates when: Fuel Boost Pressure is less than 3 psi - Activate Emergency Fuel Pump and observe Fuel Pressure o If Fuel Pressure in the green, continue the flight after considering reference data below o If Fuel Pressure does not recover, prepare for possible engine failure o If fuel pressure does not recover: Consider Emergency Crossfeed Operation to maintain engine fuel supply, Ref: E-6-1 if Crossfeed is used. - Normal Operation = pressure (Green Arc) of 34-55 psi o 3 fuel pumps ▪ Engine Driven ▪ Electric Boost Pump (always on via CB) ▪ Emergency Boost Pump (OVHD Panel Switch) - NOTE: In full power continuous climb from takeoff to high altitude under conditions of high ambient temperature, high climb rate, and extremely volatile fuel, the boost pump may not maintain a sufficient pressure head to the engine-driven fuel pump. This condition would be indicated by engine fuel pressure fluctuations of 2-5 psi and/or illumination of the boost pump warning light. The pilot may continue the climb by using the emergency fuel pump to provide steady fuel pressure for the high power operation; the emergency pump can be turned OFF after level-out if reduction to cruise power extinguishes the boost pump warning light. Cruise can be continued with the emergency fuel pump OFF if fuel pressure remains steady and above 34 psi, as indicated on the engine fuel pressure gauge - NOTE: Do not use crossfeed to compensate for an inoperative emergency fuel pump.

PA31-350 EMERGENCY CHECKLIST OTHER MALFUNCTIONS (not a POH checklist) Version 10 E - 10 - 4 TRIM Malfunctions – (continued) Warning Flags, Annunciators FD – no flags, command bars will be biased out of view whenever system is invalid, Annunciator Light on when engaged HDG – warning flag in Pictoral Navigation Indicator, appears whenever Directional Gyro info is invalid. If a HDG invalid occurs with either NAV, APPR or HDG modes selected, the AP and/or FD is disengaged. Basic FD mode may then be re-engaged along with any vertical mode and the AP re-engaged. GS – GS pointer must be in view on the PNI for GS to couple. If, after GS CPLD, valid is lost, the GS annunciator will flash and revert from GS CPLD to PAH with the FDI pitch steering bar providing pitch attitude steering information. If the GS valid returns, the system will revert back to GS CPLD. NAV – The NAV or APPR Modes (ARM or CPLD) may be selected and will function with or without a NAV flag present. The FDI bank steering will continue to provide steering information with or without a valid NAV signal.
