1. Set condition lever to Flight Idle position for
take-off.
2. Use 150flaps for normal take-off
3. Smoothly increase power to full
4. Rotate at ~80 KIAS
5. Raise landing gear when off ground
6. Retract flaps when airspeed >100 KIAS
7. Set climb to 1700-1800 fpm
8. Keep full power until airspeed ~150 KIAS
9. At ~150 KIAS decrease power to ~36.9 psi of
torque at this power setting climb speed should
be 160-170 KIAS. Climb at this airspeed up to
15,000 ft and then decrease airspeed 10 knots
for each next higher 5000 ft change.
10. Level off at desired altitude and adjust power -
remember to keep under the maximum cruise
speed of 270 KTAS, and the maximum
operating speed of 240 KIAS
11. Before starting descent bring power back to
allow airspeed to decrease to a point where the
descent speed will not exceed recommended
speeds.
12. Lower landing gear 10-20 nm before destination
13. Maintain 100-120 KIAS on approach with
150flaps.
a. note: be aware on approach and
landing that the large flaps on this
aircraft produce a lot of drag that can
slow the aircraft considerably. You do
not want to be at 80 knots or less
when applying 400flaps unless you
have altitude for a stall recovery.
14. Set airspeed to 80-90 knots on short final
with 400flaps.
a. note: normally you want to keep
the power between 13-14 psi torque
on short final. If you are at a power
setting less than this when you
increase flaps to 400the decrease in
airspeed may not be compensated in
time by an increase in power owing to
the few seconds delay in turbine
spool-up time.
15. Aim to be at 80-90 KIAS over runway
threshold
16. Bring power back to 0 and flair
17. Use reverse thrusters on ground to slow
down if necessary
18. Set conditioner lever to Ground Idle
19. Taxi to destination spot, shut aircraft
down.
