and their operation. This chapter provides basic and background information needed to
learn the details of airplane operation and performance to be studied in other chapters.
GENE AL
This chapter of the training manual presents
an overall view of the airplane. This includes
external familiarization, cabin arrange-
ments, and cockpit layout.
n this chapter of the training manual you
will find diagrams and data describing the
airplane in general and its systems that are
not included in the Pilot’s Operating
Handbook (POH).
Reference material in this training manual
covers all of the aircraft systems. Each chap-
ter is complete and independent, and can be
referred to in any sequence.
Following are brief descriptions of the sub-
ject matter in each chapter. All material is

Chapter 2—“Electrical Power Systems” de-
scribes the airplane electrical system and its
components. The electrical system is dis-
cussed to the extent necessary for pilot man-
agement of all normal and emergency
operations. The location and purpose of
switches, indicators, lights, and circuit break-
ers are noted. DC generation and distribu-
tion is described. This chapter also includes
electrical system limitations and a discus-
sion of potential electrical system faults.

lighting, cabin lighting, and exterior light-
ing. All lights are identified and located.
The location and use of controls for the light-
ing system are also included.
Master Warning System
Chapter 4—“Master Warning System” pre-
sents a description and discussion of the warn-
ing, caution, and advisory annunciator panels.
Each annunciator is described in detail, in-
cluding its purpose and associated cause for

servicing.
Powerplant
Chap ter 7— “Power plan t” prese nts a dis-
cussion of the Pratt and Whitney PT6A tur-
boprop engines. Engine theory and operating
limitations are described, and normal pilot
procedures are detailed. Crewmembers must
have sufficient knowledge of the PT6A se-
ries engines to understand all normal and
emergency procedures.
This chapter also describes the propeller
system. Location and use of propeller con-
trols, principle of operation, reversing, and
feathering are discussed.

Pneumatics
Chapter 9—“Pneumatics” presents a dis-
cussion of pneumatic and vacuum systems.
Sources and operation of pneumatic and vac-
uum air are described. Acceptable gage read-
ings and normal and abnormal system
indications are outlined.
Ice and ain Protection
Chapter 10—“ ce and Rain Protection” pre-
sents a description and discussion of the
anti-ice and deice systems. All of the anti-
ice, deice, and rain protection systems in
this airplane are described, showing loca-
tion, controls, and how they are used. The
pur pose of this chapter is to acquaint the
pilot with all the systems available for flight
in icing or heavy rain conditions and their
controls. Procedures in case of malfunction
in any system are included. This also in-
cludes information concerning preflight de-
icing and defrosting.
Air Conditioning
Chapter 11—“Air Conditioning” presents a
description of the air-conditioning, heat-
ing, and fresh air systems. Each subsystem
discussion includes general description,
principle of operation, controls, and emer-
gency procedures.
Pressurization System
Chapter 12—“Pressurization” presents a de-
scription of the pressurization system. The
function of various major components, their
physical location, and operation of the pres-
surization system controls are discussed.
Where necessary, references are made to the
environmental system as it affects pressur-
ization.
Landing Gear and Brakes
Chapter 14—“Landing Gear and Brakes”
presents a description and discussion of the
landing gear system, landing gear controls,
and operating limitations. The indicator sys-
tem and emergency landing gear extension
are also described.
This chapter also discusses the wheel brake
system. Correct use of the brakes and park-
ing brakes, along with brake system de-
scription, and what to look for when
inspecting brakes are detailed.
Flight Controls
Chapter 15—“Flight Controls” describes the
four-segment Fowler-type flap system.
System controls and limitations are con-
sidered, with reference to operation as out-
lined in the Pilot’s Operating Handbook.
This chapter also describes the rudder boost
system. This system is designed to reduce
pilot effort if single-engine flight is en-
countered.

Avionics
Chapter 16—“Avionics” describes the stan-
dard avionics installation for the King Air
C90GTi and C90GTx. The system consists
of three 8" x 10" color composite Adaptive
Flight Displays (AFD). These AFD’s are
provided as two Primary Flight Displays
(PFD) and one Multifunction Display
(MFD). Each PFD displays airplane atti-
tude, heading, airspeed, altitude, vertical
speed, flight guidance system annunciations,
and navigation data on a single integrated
display. The MFD can be used to present a
variety of information, including: Present
Position MAP, TCAS, and FMS based tex-
tual data, navigation data, weather radar,
and TAWS+. Engine Data and the electronic
checklist are also presented on the MFD.
A Flight Management System (FMS) pro-
vides flight plan management, multi-sensor
navigation, and radio tuning, while a Flight
Guidance System (FGS) allows the pilot to
input attitude, heading, airspeed, and ver-
tical speed commands for the Flight
Director/Autopilot.
ndividual audio panels for the pilot and
copilot, allow each pilot to select audio from
any nav/com receiver.
Oxygen
Chapter 17—“Oxygen” presents a summary
of the oxygen system and its components.
General description, principle of operation,
system controls, and emergency procedures
are included. Use of the oxygen duration chart
involves working simulated problems under
various flight conditions. FAR requirements
for crew and passenger oxygen needs are part
of the discussion, as well as the types and
availability of oxygen masks. Local servic-
ing procedures referenced in the Pilot’s
Operating Handbook are also included.

C90GTi AND C90GTx
DESC IPTION
The Beechcraft King Air C90GTi and
C90GTx, are high-performance, conven-
tional tail, pressurized, twin-engine tur-
boprop airplanes (Figures 1-1 through 1-5).
They are designed and equipped for flight
in FR conditions, day or night, into high-
density air traffic zones, and into known
or forecast icing conditions. They are also
capable of operating in and out of small
unimproved airports within the POH op-
erating limits.
The King Air design is a blend of a highly
efficient airframe with proven current
technology components, providing a reli-
able, economical, versatile, and cost-pro-
ductive airplane.
The structure is all-metal, low-wing mono-
plane. t has fully cantilevered wings and a
conventional-tail empennage. The wings are
an efficient, high-aspect ratio design, with
composite winglets for added eff iciency on
the C90GTx. The airfoil section provides
an excellent combination of low drag for
cruise conditions, and easy handling for the
low-speed terminal conditions or small air-
port operations.
A faired, oval, minimum frontal area nacelle
is installed on each side of the wing center
section to house both the engine and land-
ing gear. The “pitot” type intakes (Figure 1-
4) boost performance by reducing drag, and
the exhaust stacks are shaped for smaller
frontal area to reduce drag. The nacelles are
designed and located to maximize pro-
peller/ground clearance, minimize chain
noise, and provide a low-drag installation
of the powerplants on the wing.
