Beechcraft Travelair Pilot Information Manual
The official Pilot Operating Handbook for the Beechcraft Travelair airplanes is in
the aircraft. This section of appendix 14 constitutes an information manual for students in
the Selkirk College Professional Aviation Program to use when learning to fly the
Travelair and for planning flights.
All information provided in this information manual is taken from the following
Beechcraft Publications:
1. Beechcraft Travelair D95A Owner’s Manual
2. Beechcraft Travelair E95 Owner’s Manual
3. Beechcraft Travelair Shop Manual
Copies of the above manuals are available in the Selair Resource Center.
This manual is also based on actual experience operating the airplanes for 25+
years at Selkirk College.
This Information Manual is for use with both GSAK and FXFG. GSAK is a 1965
D95A. FXFG is a 1968 E95. The procedures and performance of the two airplanes is
identical except where noted in this book. The two aircraft have very similar systems but
there are differences, especially in the electric and vacuum systems. This information
manual explains the differences.
This information manual has been organized according to the nine-section POH
format that has become the standard in the aviation industry. This should assist pilots to
locate the required information quickly and easily.

Vmc
Minimum Single Engine Control Speed the minimum flight speed at which it is
possible to retain control of the aeroplane and maintain straight flight, through
the use of maximum rudder deflection and not more than 50of bank, following
sudden failure of the critical engine.
Vmc is generally determined under the following conditions:

Selkirk College IATPL Program Manual
Beech 95 POH Effective September 1, 2005 Appendix 14 - 14
(a) all engines developing maximum rated power at the time of critical engine
failure;
(b) the aeroplane at minimum take-off weight and in a rearmost centre of
gravity; and

failed critical engine windmilling.
Vsse
Intentional One Engine Inoperative Speed - a speed above both (Vmc) and stall speed,
selected to provide a margin of lateral and directional control when one engine is
suddenly rendered inoperative. Intentional failing of one engine below this
speed is not recommended.

Weight and Balance Terminology
Reference
Datum
Reference Datum is an imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal
distances are measured for balance purposes.
Station
Station is a location along the airplane fuselage given in terms of the
distance from the reference datum.
Arm
Arm is the horizontal distance from the reference datum to the center of
gravity (C.G.) of an item.
Moment
Moment is the product of the weight of an item multiplied by its arm.
Center of
Gravity
Center of Gravity (C.G.) is the point at which an airplane, or equipment,
would balance if suspended. Its distance from the reference datum is found
by dividing the total moment by the total weight of the airplane.
C.G. Arm
Center of Gravity Arm is the arm obtained by adding the airplanes
individual moments and dividing the sum by the total weight.
C.G.
Limits
Center of Gravity Limits are the extreme center of gravity locations within
which the airplane must be operated at a given weight.
Empty
Weight
Empty weight is the weight of the standard airframe plus any optional
equipment installed plus full oil.
Useful
Load
Useful load is the difference between ramp weight and the empty weight.
Ramp
weight
Ramp weight is the maximum weight approved for ground maneuver. It
includes the weight of start, taxi, and runup fuel.
Maximum
Takeoff
Weight
Maximum Takeoff Weight is the maximum weight approved for the start of
the takeoff run.
Maximum
Landing
Weight
Maximum Landing Weight is the maximum weight approved for the
landing touchdown.
Tare
Tare is the weight of chocks, blocks, stands, etc. used when weighing an
airplane, and is included in the scale reading. Tare is deducted from the
scale reading to obtain the actual (net) airplane weight.

Section 2–Limitations
Introduction to Section 2
Section 2 includes operating limitations, instrument markings, and basic placards
necessary for safe operation of the airplane, its engines, and systems. The limitations
included in this section are taken from the official operating manual in the airplane, the
shop manual, the Lycoming engine-operating manual, and other manufacturers
information sources.
The airspeeds in the airspeed limitations chart are based on airspeed calibration
data shown in section 5. This data has been gleaned from various sources within
Beechcraft documentation but may not be totally accurate.
