A.4 What Are the MU-2B Required Flight Training Tasks?
A.4.1 General Flight Training Requirements. All flight training maneuvers must be consistent with this training program and the applicable MU-2B checklist accepted by the FAA. The maneuver profiles shown in this advisory circular are presented to show the required training scenarios. Profiles conducted in-flight require planning and care on the part of both the instructor and student in order to provide the highest level of safety possible. The maneuver profiles shown in this advisory circular do not account for local geographic and flight conditions. The instructor and student must consider local conditions when performing these maneuvers in-flight.
A.4.2 Special Emphasis Items. Certain aspects of pilot knowledge, skills, and abilities must be emphasized and evaluated during the training and checking process of the MU-2B training program.
A.4.2.1 Accelerated stall awareness and recovery procedures with an emphasis on Configuration Management (CM) must be included in the training program.
Awareness of the margin to stall in all flight operations and configurations must be emphasized throughout training.
Appendix A A-16 A.4.2.2 Minimum controllable airspeed with the critical engine inoperative (VMC) awareness and early recognition must be trained and checked. Minimum airspeeds for one engine inoperative must be emphasized in all configurations.
A.4.2.3 Airspeed management and recognition of airspeed deterioration below recommended speeds and recovery methods must be emphasized throughout training and checking.
A.4.2.4 Knowledge of icing conditions and encounters must be emphasized throughout training and checking, including equipment requirements, certification standards, minimum airspeeds, and the use of the autopilot and other applicable AFM procedures.
A.4.2.5 Airplane performance characteristics with all engines operating and with one engine inoperative must be emphasized.
A.4.3 MU-2B Flight Training Program Proficiency Standards.
A.4.3.1 General Visual Flight Rules (VFR)/Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).
1. Bank Angle: ±5 degrees of prescribed bank angle.
2. Heading: ±10 degrees.
3. Altitude: ±100 feet.
4. Airspeed: ±10 knots.
A.4.3.2 Instrument Approach—Final Approach Segment.
A.4.3.2.1 Precision Approach.
1. Heading: ±10 degrees.
2. Altitude: ±100 feet.
3. Airspeed: ±10 knots prior to final.
4. Airspeed: ±10 knots after established on final.
5. Glideslope (GS)/Localizer Deviation: within ¾ scale, not below GS.
A.4.3.2.2 Nonprecision Approach (NPA).
A.4.3.2.3 Straight-In.
1. Initial Approach Altitude: ±100 feet.
2. Heading: ±10 degrees.
3. Altitude (minimum descent altitude (MDA)): +100 feet, -0 feet.
Appendix A A-17
4. Airspeed: +10 knots.
5. Course Deviation Indicator: within ¾ scale or ±10 degrees on the radio magnetic indicator (RMI).
A.4.3.2.4 Circling Approach.
1. Maximum Bank: 30 degrees.
2. Heading: within 10 degrees.
3. Altitude: +100 feet, -0 feet.
4. Airspeed: within 10 knots, but not less than the reference speed for final approach (VREF).
Note: In all cases, a pilot must show complete mastery of the aircraft, with the outcome of each maneuver or procedure never seriously in doubt.
A.4.4 Maneuvers and Procedures. All flight training maneuvers and procedures must be conducted, as applicable to the MU-2B and each type of operation involved.
A.4.4.1 Preflight.
1. Preflight Inspection. The pilot must:
• Conduct an actual visual inspection of the exterior and interior of the airplane, locating each item and explaining briefly the purpose of inspecting it; and
• Demonstrate the use of the appropriate checklist, appropriate control system checks, starting procedures, radio and electronic equipment checks, and the selection of proper navigation and communications radio facilities and frequencies prior to flight.
2. Taxiing. This maneuver includes taxiing in compliance with instructions issued by the appropriate air traffic control (ATC) facility or by the person conducting the check.
3. Pre-Takeoff Checks. The pilot must satisfactorily complete all pre-takeoff aircraft systems and powerplant checks before takeoff.
A.4.4.2 Takeoff and Departure.
1. Normal. One normal takeoff, which, for the purpose of this maneuver, begins when the airplane is taxied into position on the runway to be used.
2. Instrument Takeoff. Takeoff with simulated instrument conditions at or before reaching an altitude of 200 feet above the airport elevation and visibility of 1800 Runway Visual Range (RVR).
Appendix A A-18
3. Crosswind. One crosswind takeoff, if practical, under the existing meteorological, airport, and traffic conditions.
4. Powerplant Failure. One takeoff with a simulated failure of the most critical powerplant at a point after liftoff speed (VLOF). In the MU-2B airplane, all simulated powerplant failures must only be initiated when the person conducting the training or checking determines that it is safe under the prevailing conditions. The instructor must assure that the power lever does not move beyond the flight idle gate.
5. Rejected Takeoff. A rejected takeoff performed in an airplane during a normal takeoff run after reaching a reasonable speed, determined by giving due consideration to aircraft characteristics, runway length, surface conditions, wind direction and velocity, brake heat energy, and any other pertinent factors that may adversely affect safety or the airplane.
6. Area Departure. Demonstrate adequate knowledge of departure procedures, establishing appropriate ATC communications, and following clearances.
A.4.4.3 Flight Maneuvers and Procedures.
1. Steep Bank Turns. Each steep turn must involve a bank angle of 50 degrees with a heading change of at least 180 degrees, but no more than 360 degrees.
2. Approaches to Stalls. Must be performed in each of the following configurations: takeoff, clean, and landing. One approach to a stall must be performed in either the takeoff, clean, or landing configuration while in a turn with a bank angle between 15 degrees and 30 degrees.
3. Accelerated Stalls. Must be done in the flaps 20 degrees and flaps 0 degrees configurations.
4. Recovery Procedures. Must be initiated at the first indication of a stall.
A.4.4.4 Normal and Abnormal Procedures and Operations.
1. Runaway trim.
2. Normal and abnormal operations of the following systems:
• Pressurization;
