44 SECTION 3: EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 3.1. INTRODUCTION The urgency of certain emergencies requires immediate and instinctive action by the pilot. The most important single consideration is aircraft control. All procedures are subordinate to this requirement: Never stop flying the aircraft. Those steps that must be performed immediately and instinctively in an emergency situation are underlined. The pilot should be able to perform these steps without reference to the checklist. When the situation permits, all steps should be accomplished with the use of a checklist DEFINITION OF EMERGENCY TERMS LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE: defined as landing at the nearest suitable landing area (e.g., open field) without delay. (The primary consideration is to ensure the survival of the occupants) LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE: defined as landing at a suitable landing area. (The primary consideration is the urgency of the emergency.) 3.3. EMERGENCY BASIC RULES Three basic rules that will assist the pilot when an emergency occurs while airborne are as follows: a. Maintain aircraft control b. Analyze the situation and take proper action c. Land the aircraft as soon as conditions permit MVP-50T ANNUNCIATION LIGHTS Annunciator lights will change color corresponding to the numerical value of the system associated with the segment. If operating within a yellow cautionary range, the illuminated segment and digits will be Yellow. If operated in a Red range, the segment and digits will display in Red. In either case both the segment light and either the Master Warning or Master Caution light will be flashing. Pressing the Exit button on the display panel will stop the segment from flashing and extinguish the Master Caution light, resetting it so that in case of another out of limit operation, it will be ready to function for that annunciation.

47 3.5. GROUND ENGINE FIRE See DRY MOTORING RUN, Section IN-FLIGHT ENGINE FIRE In case of an in-flight fire, the following procedures should be used: a. Reduce power to minimum level to sustain flight. b. Dump Hopper load. c. Monitor ITT and torque to determine if the engine is stabilized and producing power. d. Try to determine the source of the fire and if it is of minor or major proportions. NOTE: A minor fire is just smoke and fumes. A MAJOR fire has bull blown visible flames. e. If fire is still of MINOR proportions, choose a suitable field or road and land while power is still available. Stop as soon as possible and before engine shut-down, swing tail of aircraft into wind. Shut off fuel valve first, and then proceed as follows: f. Power Lever IDLE POSITION g. Propeller Lever FEATHERED. h. Fuel Condition Lever CUT OFF i. Fuel Pump Switches OFF j. Fuel Valve OFF k. Monitor ITT to determine if fire exists in engine. If ITT is rising, proceed with DRY MOTORING RUN but leave fuel OFF. l. If ITT is falling, turn OFF all switches. Open engine oil servicing door and use fire extinguisher to douse the fire. If fire is of MAJOR proportions, the following procedures should be used: m. Power Lever IDLE POSITION n. Propeller Lever FEATHERED o. Fuel Condition Lever CUT OFF p. Power Lever OFF q. Fuel Select Valve OFF r. All Switches - OFF AFM H8001 SINGLE & DUAL COCKPIT Revision A Page 33

48 s. Prepare for forced landing. If terrain is rough, turn on Battery Switch BATT and extend flaps as desired, then turn off BATT switch. t. Side-slip to prevent fire from reaching cockpit. u. LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE 3.7. EMERGENCY HOPPER DUMP Should circumstances arise that require an emergency landing, the hopper should be dumped by moving the dump lever full forward. Forward pressure on the control stick or forward trim (or both) should be used to prevent excessive nose up pitching moment. Max speed for Hopper dump is 158 MPH ELECTRICAL FIRE IN-FLIGHT In case of an electrical fire in flight, follow these procedures: a. Battery and Generator switches OFF b. All other Electrical switches OFF c. Circuit Breakers OUT If electric power is essential for flight, check to identify and isolate the faulty circuit with the following steps: d. Generator Switch ON e. If the generator switch is defective, MOVE the Generator switch to OFF position. f. MOVE the Battery Switch to the ON position. g. Let a short period of time elapse before activating additional circuits one at a time until the defective circuit is identified. If a Generator Failure occurs in flight: h. All non-essential Electrical Equipment -OFF i. Generator OFF then back ON j. If Generator fails to come ON- GENERATOR OFF k. LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE NOTE: The battery should supply power to essential avionics and fuel pump for approximately 30 minutes. (The air conditioner compressor is automatically off, but the blower motor should be turned off to conserve power.) AFM H8001 SINGLE & DUAL COCKPIT Revision A Page 34

49 3.9 ENGINE FAILURE IN-FLIGHT Engine failure symptoms could include any or all of the following: a. Loud noises followed by heavy vibration and loss of power, smoke and/or flame. b. Rapid loss of power with unusual noises, vibration or sudden increase of ITT. c. Loss of power following a drop in oil pressure below redline or increase in oil temperature above redline or both. d. Loss of power following overspeed of gas generator (Ng). e. Engine explosion and flame & smoke. If it is clear that the engine has failed, proceed as follows: f. Hopper Dump DUMP LEVER FORWARD g. Propeller Lever FEATHERED h. Fuel Condition Lever CUT OFF i. Power Lever IDLE POSITION j. Fuel Valve Lever OFF k. Fuel Pump Switches OFF l. LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WARNING CAUTION IS MANDATORY DURING A SUSPECTED ENGINE FAILURE ON TAKE-OFF OR LANDING IN ORDER TO AVOID SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE UNNECESSARILY. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESTART AN ENGINE WHICH IS DEFINITELY KNOWN TO HAVE FAILED. NOTE: Refer to Section 3.14 Forced Landing Procedures for additional guidance. AFM H8001 SINGLE & DUAL COCKPIT Revision A Page 35

50 3.10. ENGINE FLAMEOUT The indications of any engine flameout will be a drop in the ITT (inter-turbine temperature), torque pressure and RPM. The flameout may result from the engine running out of fuel or possibly by unstable engine operation. Once the fuel supply has been restored to the engine or the cause of the unstable operation eliminated, the engine may be restarted in the manner described in Section 3.12: Normal Air Starts. a. Auto start enable switch ON b. Engine start switch START c. If engine restarts: LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE d. If engine fails to start - LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (Reference 3.14: Forced Landing) FAILURE OF AUTOMATIC FUEL SCHEDULING Please refer to Section 6 Emergency Circuit of Fuel Control Unit and its application (Engine manufacturer Operation Manual GE H ). Normally the fuel scheduling is automatic, the engine power lever is positioned by the pilot and the fuel control schedules the fuel in a manner that allows smooth increases and decreases of power while not exceeding any engine limitations during acceleration or deceleration. In the event the automatic fuel scheduling fails, the engine will experience a low side failure, sometimes called a roll back. The engine goes to minimum fuel flow, which is slightly below normal Ng idle speed. Fortunately the GE H- 80 is equipped with an emergency governor which will allow the pilot to regain full control of the engine and safely return. While in Emergency Governor, all automatic fuel scheduling is lost and power is controlled by the fuel condition lever. Too rapid of movement of the fuel condition lever while in Emergency Governor can cause ITT exceedences, Ng speed exceedences, and compressor stalls. It s imperative that any power changes while in Emergency Governor be made smoothly and slowly allowing the engine to accelerate normally. Full power is available while in Emergency Governor. In the event automatic fuel scheduling is lost and the engine goes to minimum fuel flow. a. Raise the switch guard and place Emergency Governor Switch ON. b. Smoothly advance the ENGINE FUEL CONDITION LEVER until power is restored and a climb is established. c. LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE. d. If power is not restored, LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AFM H8001 SINGLE & DUAL COCKPIT Revision A Page 36

51 After power is restored and you have climbed to a safe altitude, reduce the engine power lever to idle and continue the flight to a safe place to land using the Fuel Condition Lever as you would normally use the Engine Power Lever. NOTE: The fuel condition lever should always be at IDLE unless Emergency Governor is switched on. NOTE: Reverse or Beta is not available while using the Engine Fuel Condition Lever. It is normal for the engine compressor to make a pop sound when the Emergency Governor switch is either turned on or off AIR STARTS NOTE: Air Start Envelope Normal Air Starts ranging from sea level to 12,000 feet altitude and 87 MPH IAS to 126 MPH IAS have been approved. CAUTION Only Starter assisted Air Starts are possible. The recommended pre-air start check procedure is: a. Propeller Lever: Anywhere in operating range b. Power Lever: IDLE c. Battery Switch: ON d. Fuel Valve: ON e. Fuel Condition Lever: CUT OFF f. Fuel Pump Switch: ON g. Fuel Pressure Indicator: In the Green AFM H8001 SINGLE & DUAL COCKPIT Revision A Page 37

52 NOTE: Propeller feathering is dependent on circumstances and is at the discretion of the pilot. Fine pitch selection will pump air through the engine, and therefore increase the gas generator motoring speed during the Air Start procedure. Regardless of where the prop control lever is, loss of engine oil pressure will cause the prop to feather. The recommended Air Start Procedure is: a. Auto start enable Switch: ON b. Engine Start Switch: ON c. Fuel Condition Lever: IDLE NOTE: A re-light normally should be obtained within 10 seconds and will be evidenced first by a rise in gas generator RPM. A rise in the ITT will also be noted. When the engine reaches idle RPM, d. Auto Start Enable Switch: OFF e. Propeller Lever: High RPM/Forward f. Power Lever: ADJUST to desired position g. CHECK that the Engine Operating Limits are not exceeded. h. If a satisfactory start is not obtained, discontinue the air start. i. Repeat the engine start procedure if another starting attempt is to be made. NOTE: The best air start technique is to initiate the restart procedure immediately after flameout occurs, if the pilot is certain that the flameout was not the result of some malfunction which might make the attempt to restart unsafe. AFM H8001 SINGLE & DUAL COCKPIT Revision A Page 38

53 3.13. ABORTED TAKE-OFF Should the pilot deem it necessary to abort a takeoff, the following steps are advised: a. Power Control Lever: Full Beta or Reverse as necessary. b. Brakes: Apply as permitted by aircraft attitude and directional control. c. Consider dumping the hopper if necessary to shorten braking roll. d. Flaps: Retract WARNING DO NOT DUMP HOPPER ABOVE 50 MPH IAS ON TAKEOFF OR AIRCRAFT MAY BECOME AIRBORNE. DUMPING HOPPER LOAD MAY REDUCE BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. AFM H8001 SINGLE & DUAL COCKPIT Revision A Page 39

54 3.14. FORCED LANDINGS Forced Landing with engine power remaining: a. Maintain 107 MPH IAS and once landing area is assured, apply full flaps b. Select a safe area to dump hopper if possible. Dump the hopper load and move the control stick forward as the dump is made to control nose pitch-up. Forced Landing with Engine Failure, proceed as time and altitude permits with LIQUID in Hopper: a. Dump hopper load by opening hopper gate. b. Feather prop to extend glide. c. If a re-start is to be attempted, proceed with Air-Start procedures as described herein. d. Maintain 90 to 100 MPH IAS and look for suitable landing area. e. If landing is to be made on road with a strong cross-wind, leave flaps retracted. f. If landing in open field, extend flaps and maintain at least 80 MPH IAS until flare for landing. g. Turn Fuel Valve OFF once air-start procedure is abandoned. h. Pull Fuel Condition Lever to CUT OFF position. i. All Switches OFF j. Open both canopy doors during approach. Forced Landing with Engine Failure, proceeding as time and altitude permits with DRY SOLIDS in Hopper: a. Open hopper gate to reduce weight as much as possible. b. Feather prop to extend glide. c. Maintain 107 MPH IAS if gross weight is high. d. Tighten seat belt. e. Turn Fuel Valve OFF once air-start procedure is abandoned. f. Pull Fuel Condition Lever to CUT OFF position. g. All Switches OFF. h. Open both canopy doors during approach. i. Extend full flaps during flare for landing. NOTE: A liquid filled hopper will empty faster than a dry solid filled hopper. Maintain speed as time and altitude permits, until hopper is empty. AFM H8001 SINGLE & DUAL COCKPIT Revision A Page 40

55 3.15. EMERGENCY EGRESS If it is necessary to remove the cockpit door from its hinges, do the following: a. KNOCK OUT the oval panel below the window. b. REACH through the hole and PULL UP the flexible hinge pin. c PUSH the door clear of the aircraft and EXIT ELEVATOR TRIM/ RUDDER CENTERING SPRING FAILURE Test flights with failed springs has shown that a spring failure is easily recognized by the pilot and that the aircraft is safe and controllable throughout its operating envelope with a failed spring. Failure of an elevator spring exhibits a nose upward pitch of about four lbs force on the control stick, is easily overcome and there is sufficient range in the pitch trim system to re-trim for zero force. A failed rudder centering spring will cause an uneven force of approximately eleven lbs. to overcome. In either case, a failed spring is a flight control failure and the spring must be replaced to continue the airworthiness of the aircraft. In the event a spring fails: LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE NOSE BAGGAGE DOOR OPENING IN FLIGHT Should the nose baggage door open in flight: LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE LOSS OF HOPPER RINSE BALLAST IN THE DUAL COCKPIT If, at any time, in flight, the water ballast in the tank is lost, the aircraft CG will be outside the aft limit. The indication will be a sudden reduction of stability and a requirement of more nose down trim, possible beyond the limit of elevator trim. In the event of loss of ballast: LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE SUSPICION OF HOPPER RINSE TANK LEAKING If dual occupant operations are conducted, where the hopper rinse tank must be employed as ballast, and if it is suspected that the hopper rinse tank is leaking while in flight the pilot should proceed as follows: LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.

56 SECTION 4: S2R-H80 Single & Dual Cockpit PERFORMANCE S2R-H80 Performance Supplement at Weights in Excess of 6000 lbs INTRODUCTION The intent of this Performance Supplement is to provide the operator of the Thrush Aircraft Inc. S2R-H80 Aircraft with performance information when the aircraft is loaded to weights in excess of 6000 pounds up to and including 10,500 lbs. (Refer to C.G. Limits on page 1.6 of this manual.) Data provided in this Supplement was obtained by standard flight test methods, data reduction and expansion procedures. Testing was performed from a dry, smooth hard surface. Factors such as runway surface and weather conditions must be given consideration. Actual Performance may also vary with individual aircraft and piloting techniques, so operations should allow some safety margin to account for these variables. AFM H8001 SINGLE & DUAL COCKPIT Revision A Page 42

57 INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ATMOSPHERE (ISA) TEMPERATURES The International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) is used in most aircraft operations and is standard throughout the industry. Temperature values for this atmosphere are provided below for ease in navigating the following series of performance charts. Values are provided in degrees Celsius. If your ambient air temperature gauge reads in degrees Fahrenheit, see the graph below to convert to Celsius. Fahrenheit to Celsius Temperature Conversion DEGREES -F DEGREES -C AFM H8001 SINGLE & DUAL COCKPIT Revision A Page 43

58 4.2. AIRSPEED CALIBRATION The following charts provide the airspeed calibration for the Thrush S2R-H80 at a takeoff gross weight of 10,500 lbs and at a light weight of 6850 lbs. To use these charts to determine Calibrated Airspeed, enter the chart at the value of Indicated Airspeed, proceed vertically until the line is encountered. Then proceed horizontally to the left to read the value for calibrated airspeed. If an Indicated Airspeed is desired from a known Calibrated Airspeed, such as stalling speed, enter the chart at that calibrated airspeed and perform the procedure in reverse. EXAMPLE: Shown Indicated Airspeed of 120 MPH AT 10,500 lbs. is actually a Calibrated Airspeed of MPH for the flaps up configuration or 116 MPH for flaps 15ᵒ. At lightweight and indicated airspeed of 120 MPH, calibrated airspeed is actually MPH for flaps up configuration or 115 MPH for flaps 15. AFM H8001 SINGLE & DUAL COCKPIT Revision A Page 44

63 4.3. STALLING SPEED VERSUS AIRCRAFT WEIGHT The following two charts provide the Aircraft Stalling Speeds for both the Flaps Up and Flaps 15ᵒ cases. EXAMPLE: To determine the Stalling Speed at an Aircraft Weight of 8500 pounds, enter the Flaps Up chart at that weight. Proceed horizontally until encountering the line. Then proceed vertically down to read the Stalling Speed of 81 MPH Calibrated Airspeed. To obtain the number in Indicated Airspeed, return to the Airspeed Calibration Chart. The same procedure is used to obtain the Stalling Speed on the Flaps 15ᵒ Chart which shows a Stalling Speed of 74.5 MPH Calibrated Airspeed. AFM H8001 SINGLE & DUAL COCKPIT Revision A Page 49

66 4.4. INSTALLED ENGINE HORSEPOWER The first of the following four charts provides the Installed Torque Available for several ISA values up to the maximum torque limit of 2020 Ft. Lbs. This chart was used to determine installed horsepower for expansion of standard sea level data to various altitude and temperature conditions for climb charts for determining at what altitude a rate of climb of 200 ft/min was reached. The second chart provides a conversion from Ft. Lbs. of Torque to Percent Torque as indicated in the cockpit. The third chart provides the power output from the engine with the propeller turning 2080 RPM versus Percent Torque. The fourth chart provides the power output from the engine with the propeller turning 1900 RPM versus Percent Torque. EXAMPLE: Assuming an ISA+30 degree day at a Pressure Altitude of 8000 ft., enter the Installed Torque versus Altitude Chart at 8000 ft. and proceed horizontally until reaching the ISA+30 degree line. Then descend vertically until reading a Torque of 1840 Ft. Lbs. With the value of 1840 Ft. Lbs., enter the second chart of Torque versus Percent Torque and proceed horizontally until reaching the Percent Torque line. Then descend vertically to reach the Percent Torque value of 90 percent. With the Percent Torque value of 90 percent, enter the third chart of Engine Shaft Horsepower versus Percent Torque at 2080 RPM. Proceed vertically until reaching the Shaft Horsepower line. Then proceed horizontally to the left to read an Engine Shaft Horsepower value of 725 Horsepower. This is the power output of your engine at a propeller RPM of 2080 and a Percent Torque of 90 percent. If a propeller RPM of 1900 is used, the fourth chart shows the Shaft Horsepower output for 90 Percent Torque would be 660 Horsepower. AFM H8001 SINGLE & DUAL COCKPIT Revision A Page 52

71 4.5. TAKEOFF DISTANCE TO 50 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL The Takeoff Distance to 50 feet above ground level in no wind conditions is provided in the following two charts. The first chart provides the takeoff distance to 50 feet above ground level at a takeoff gross weight of 10,500 lbs. The second chart allows correcting that distance for some reduced aircraft weight. Airspeeds to achieve the Takeoff Distances given are 89 MCAS for liftoff and 106 MCAS to 50 feet above ground level. These airspeeds are for a takeoff gross weight of 10,500 lbs. As weight is reduced these airspeeds should be reduced by approximately 5 MPH for each 1000 lb. reduction in takeoff gross weight. In conditions of a headwind the takeoff distance will be less than the distances given. Downwind takeoffs will increase the distances given and should be avoided. EXAMPLE: Assuming a 25ᵒ ambient temperature and an airport elevation of 3000 ft. Pressure Altitude, we will also assume that the aircraft takeoff gross weight is 8500 lbs. To determine the takeoff distance to 50 feet above ground level, enter the first chart for Takeoff Distance at 10,500 lbs. at 25ᵒC and proceed up to a Pressure Altitude of 3000 ft. Then proceed horizontally to the right to determine the takeoff distance if the aircraft weighed 10,500 lbs. which is 2600 ft. Enter the second chart at that distance (2600 ft.) and from the right vertical reference, follow the guide lines down to the point where this line intersects a line drawn vertically up from 8500 lbs. From this point proceed horizontally to the right until the line intersects the takeoff distance which is 1400 ft. This is the takeoff distance for the aircraft at 8500 lbs. for the condition given.

74 4.6. CLIMB PERFORMANCE The following two charts provide Climb Performance of the S2R-H80 at various temperatures, altitudes and weights. Best Rate of Climb Speed, VY, at 10,500 lbs. gross weight varies linearly from 106 MCAS at Sea Level to 105 MCAS at 10,000 ft. Best Angle of Climb Speed, VX, at 10,500 lbs. gross weight varies linearly from 98 MCAS at Sea Level to 101 MCAS at 10,000 ft. EXAMPLE: Given an ambient temperature of 20ᵒ C, a Pressure Altitude of 3000 ft. and a Gross Weight of 8000 lbs. enter the rate of climb chart for a 10,500 gross weight at 20ᵒC and proceed vertically to 3000 ft. Then proceed horizontally to the right to read a rate of climb at a 10,500 lb. Gross Weight of 480 ft/min. Enter the second chart of Rate of Climb versus Gross Weight at this value, 480 ft/min., and follow the guide lines up to the point where this line intersects the line drawn vertically up from 8000 lbs.

77 4.7. LANDING DISTANCE FROM 50 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL The Landing Distance from 50 feet above ground level in no wind conditions is provided in the following two charts. The first chart provides the landing distance from 50 feet above ground level at the maximum landing weight of 7600 lbs. The second chart allows correcting that distance for some aircraft weight less than 7600 lbs. The Approach Airspeed to achieve these Landing Distances is 114 MCAS at the 50 feet above ground level. This airspeed is for a landing gross weight of 7600 lbs. (For other weights, refer to Table 4-1 below.)as weight is reduced, this airspeed should be reduced. In conditions of a headwind, the landing distance will be less than that shown. Downwind landings will increase the distances provided and should be avoided. AIRCRAFT WEIGHT LBS. EXAMPLE: APPROACH AIRSPEED - MCAS Table 4-1: Landing Distance Airspeeds Assuming a 25ᵒC ambient temperature and an airport elevation of 3000 ft. Pressure Altitude with an aircraft landing weight of 6800 lbs. To determine the Landing Distance from 50 feet above ground level, enter the first chart at the 25ᵒC ambient temperature and proceed vertically until reaching a pressure altitude of 3000 ft. Then proceed horizontally to the right to read a landing distance at a 7600 lb. gross weight of 2200 ft. Enter the second chart at that distance (2200 ft.) and from the right vertical reference, follow the guidelines down to the point where a line drawn vertically from 6800 lbs. intersects it. Then proceed horizontally to the right to read a Landing Distance at 6800 lbs. of 1900 ft. AFM H8001 SINGLE & DUAL COCKPIT, Revision A Page 63 FAA APPROVAL DATE: 8/05/2014
