PROCEDURE

TROUBLESHOOTING

REFERENCE

DESCENT-ARRIVAL (CONT)

Mmo may be easily exceeded when descending

from high altitude. The pilot should frequently

cross check the airspeed and Mach limit indicators

to avoid exceeding Mmo. Exceeding Mmo could

result in structural failure and loss of airframe

integrity.

1. CABIN CONTROLLER - Set.

2. ICE & RAIN switches - As required.

3. WINDSHIELD anti-ice - As required.

CAUTION

Set windshield anti-ice to NORMAL or HIGH as

required well before descent into icing conditions

or into warm moist air to aid in defogging. Turn off

windshield anti-ice when descent is completed to

lower altitudes and when heating is no longer

required. This will preclude possible wind screen

distortions.

4. RECOG lights - On.

Altimeters - Set to current altimeter setting

(QNH) when passing through transitional

altitude.

6. ASE - As required.

7. Flare/chaff dispenser safety pin - Insert.

8. CONDITION lever - HIGH IDLE.
