Reference Manual
Introduction This manual is a stand-alone document appropriate for various levels of training. Its purpose is to serve as an informational resource and study aid. The Quick Reference chapter provides limitations and other data for quick review. The Operating Procedures section contains chapters that provide a preflight inspection of the aircraft, normal procedures, maneuvers, and other information for day-to-day operations. The Flight Planning chapter covers weight and balance and performance. Several charts are included. The Systems section is subdivided by aircraft system. At the beginning of the Systems Syst ems section, sec tion, a list of systems system s is cross-referenced to AT ATA codes to facilitate faci litate further furth er self-study, if desired, with the manufacturer’s manuals.

Quick Reference This chapter contains the aircraft operating limits and requirements as well as a system-by-system summarization of power sources, distribution, controls and monitors for both the TC 690A and 690B models. Each model’s limitations are in a separate, labeled section to avoid confusion. All limitations are printed in bold italic . Quick reference also contains supplement-directed limitations and operations. This section presents the operating limitations, the significance of such limitations instrument markings, color coding and basic placards necessary neces sary for the safe operation of the airplane, ai rplane, its powerplants, standard systems and standard equipment. The limitations included in this section have been approved by the FAA. Observance of these operating limitations is required by law. This chapter is intended to serve as a convenient reference.

Compliance with the following Limitations meets the requirements of Paragraph (a) of Airworthiness Directive No. 86-24-12, dated 28 November 1986. The requirements of Paragraph (a) of AD. of AD. 86-24-12 are superseded by Paragraph (b) and no longer apply when Custom Kit No. 139 (Auto-Ignition System) is installed. The IGN OVRD switch shall be selected to IGN OVRD position during all operations in actual or potential icing conditions described as follows: 1. During During takeoff takeoff and climb out in actual or potential potential icing icing conditions. 2. When ice is visible visible on, or shedding shedding from propeller(s propeller(s), ), spinner(s), spinner(s), or leading edge(s).

If the engine runs satisfactorily, switch the second ENGINE system to ENG INLET position and check that the second engine continues to run satisfactorily.
CAUTION: Flight may be limited by duty cycle of the Ignition System (see page 2-5). Do not operate engine inlet heat system longer than 10 seconds if OAT is greater than H=5°C (+ 41°F).

Propellers Two Hartzell propellers with LT 10282H+4 blades and hub model HCB3TN-5FL are installed. The propellers are 3-blade, full feathering, reversible, constant speed. Reverse operation is limited to ground operation only. NOTE: The following restrictions apply to those airplanes which are not equipped with propeller blades LT 10673 or LT 10673(B) per STC SA 546GL or Hartzell Bulletin No. 13l B. See Supplement 17. WARNING:
Positioning of power levers below the flight idle stop in flight is prohibited. Such positioning may lead to loss of air plane control or may result in an engine overspeed condition and consequent loss of engine power.

Do not move power levers aft of GND IDLE until until indicated speed has decreased to 60 KIAS and both BETA lights are illuminated. No Reverse Allowed Above 60 KIAS. Full reverse up to 500 HP at 90% RPM (minimum) may be initiated below 60 KIAS. Reduce Reverse Thrust proportionately as aircraft aircraft speed decreases.

Engine RPM: Avoid operation between 18 and 28 percent RPM except for transients occurring during start and shutdown.
Reverse Power Limitations: Condition levers must be set at HIGH RPM when using thrust during landing. Do not raise flight idle latches latches until nose gear has been lowered to to the runway. Do not enter enter reverse reverse power power range range until until both BETA BETA light lightss are illumi illuminate nated. d. Full Reverse is limited to speed less than 90 KIAS, at or above 95% RPM. Posit Position ion power power lever lever at GND GND IDLE IDLE until until speed speed is reduce reduced d to to 90 90 KIA KIAS. S. Do not allow RPM to decrease below 95% while in reverse. Return power levers to GND IDLE if engine speed drops below 95% RPM. NOTE: The following restrictions apply to those airplanes which are not equipped with propeller blades LT 10673 or LT 10673(B) per STC SA 546GL or Hartzell Bulletin No. 13l B. See Supplement 16.
Do not move power levers aft of GND IDLE IDLE until indicated speed has decreased to 60 KIAS and both BETA lights are illuminated. No Reverse Allowed Above 60 KIAS. Full reverse up to 500 HP at 90% RPM (minimum) may be initiated below 60 KIAS. Reduce Reverse Thrust proportionately as aircraft aircraft speed decreases.

Quick Reference Flight in Icing Conditions Compliance with the following Limitations meets the requirements of Paragraph (a) of Airworthiness Directive No. 86-24-12, dated 28 November 1986. The requirements of Paragraph (a) of AD. of AD. 86-24-12 are superseded by Paragraph (b) and no longer apply when Custom Kit No. 139 (Auto-Ignition System) is installed. The IGN OVRD switch shall be selected to IGN OVRD position during all operations in actual or potential icing conditions described as follows: 1. During During takeoff takeoff and climb out in actual or potential potential icing icing conditions. 2. When ice is visible visible on, or shedding shedding from propeller(s propeller(s), ), spinner(s) spinner(s),, or leading edge(s). 3. Before Before selecting selecting ENG INLET, INLET, when ice has accumulated. accumulated.
NOTE: If icing conditions are entered in flight without the engine anti-icing system having been selected, switch one ENGINE system to ENG INLET position. If the engine runs satisfactoril y, switch the second ENGINE system to ENG INLET position and check that the second engine continues to run satisfactorily.
4. Immediatel Immediatelyy anytime engine engine flameout occurs occurs as a possible possible result result of ice ingestion. 5. During During approach and landing landing while while in or shortly shortly following following flight in actual or potential icing conditions. 6. During takeoff with standing water, slush or powdery snow on runway. For the purpose of the preceding steps, the following definition applies:
1. Potential Potential icing conditions conditions in precipitation precipitation or visible visible moisture meteometeorological conditions: a. Begin when when the OAT OAT is +5°C (+41°F) (+41°F) or colder colder,, and b. End when the OAT OAT is +10°C (+50°F) (+50°F) or warmer warmer.. NOTE: Above procedures supersede any other POH/AFM procedures which may be contradictory.
CAUTION: Flight may be limited by duty cycle of the Ignition System (see page 2-22). Do not operate engine inlet heat system longer than 10 seconds if OAT is greater than H=5°C (+ 41°F).
Ice Protection: Ambient temperatures must be below +5°C for continuous operation if ice protection heat. Intentional stalls are prohibited when wing and empennage boots are operated. Do not operate wing and empennage boots during takeoff and landing. Engine Inlet Ice Protection:
Operation for longer than ten seconds with ambient temperature above +50° is prohibited.
