              Permanent and temporary revisions to this handbook will be issued by the aircraft
              manufacturer whenever necessary. These revisions must be incorporated in the
              handbook as directed and the details recorded on the relevant Record of Revisions. Full
              details concerning the embodiment of each permanent revision, in this handbook, are
              published in a Revision Incorporation Notice attached to the front of every revision. The
              new or amended content of revised pages will be indicated by a black vertical line in the
              left-hand margin, adjacent to the relevant text. In the event of completely revised pages
              being issued, the black line indication will not appear. Properly approved revisions,
              emanating from sources other than the aircraft manufacturer, must be recorded on a
              separate Log of Revisions which should be provided for the purpose. If this is not done,
              the statement pertaining to certification at the front of this manual will be invalidated.

                Fuel can be supplied with the approved icing inhibitor already incorporated or mixed with
                the fuel during refueling. Section 7 gives the correct mixing procedure.
Note
                    FSII is not always indicated on the refueling placard. Check with the fuel
                    supplier to make sure the fuel contains FSII.
                CAUTIONS...
                  The correct mix of a DiEGME compound with the fuel is important. Concentrations
                  more than the recommended maximum (0.15% by volume) will cause damage to the
                  protective primer and sealants of the fuel tanks. Damage will occur to the seals in
                  the fuel system and engine components.

                       This section contains the necessary information to enable a pilot to recognise and deal
                       with most foreseeable conditions of emergency, as they may arise, individually or in
                       combination.

General
                      Variations in asymmetric power can result in high rudder foot forces which should be
                      held and then alleviated by trimming. Yawing with asymmetric power could give rise to
                      significant longitudinal pitch trim changes.
                      Should an engine failure be experienced during the early part of a flight the operative
                      engine can be fed from the fuel tank(s) on the opposite side to improve aircraft roll trim.
                      This can be done by using the “crossfeed” selection shown in Section 7 under the Fuel
                      System heading.
                                                                           n

               Due to thermal change within the turbine, the gas producer section of the
               engine may lock up after an inflight shutdown. This is a temporary

               approximately one minute and which may continue for up to ten minutes

                      Control the rate/angle of descent using engine power. Maintain the VREF speed to
                      touchdown to avoid landing tail bumper first. At touchdown, retard the power levers and
                      commence maximum braking consistent with avoiding wheel lock-up as soon as the
                      nosewheel makes ground contact. Progressively move the control column fully back to
                      achieve the maximum weight transfer to the main wheels. Two aspects need to be
                      considered:
                      1. The nose attitude is high during the final stage of the approach and the intended
                         landing area disappears from the pilot's view at about 100 ft AGL making lateral
                         judgement across the landing area more difficult.
                      2. If the surface of the intended landing area is wet grass, it is relatively easy to lock-up
                         the mainwheels if brake application is too hard. The residual thrust at idle power is
                         sufficient to allow the aircraft to ‘skate’ for a considerable distance under these
                         conditions. If the intended landing area is confined it is recommended that the
                         condition levers are moved to FUEL OFF FEATHER immediately on touch down.
             There may be loss of directional control when landing with a flat nose-wheel tyre.
             Asymmetric braking with the control column held fully back will assist in stopping the
             aircraft with minimal side loads on the undercarriage.
                                                                               n

3.17.b. ENGINE LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATION
             In the event of abnormally low oil pressure in either engine for the appropriate power
             setting (Section 2 refers), the engine manufacturer recommends immediate shut-down
             of the affected engine. A red L.OIL or R.OIL annunciator will display on the central
             annunciator panel only when a serious loss of oil pressure occurs (below nominally
                     2
             50 lb/in ). Before shutting down the engine, it is the pilot's responsibility to cross-check
             the symptoms and decide whether, in view of the mission on hand, terrain clearance
             and other considerations, it would be less hazardous to postpone the shut-down until a
             later stage in the flight.
3.19. FUEL
3.19.a          AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP FAILURE
                      If an auxiliary fuel pump fails, the appropriate back-up fuel pump must be switched ON.
                      Note...
                         The use of auxiliary fuel pumps is only necessary above 5,000 ft.
                                                                           n
                      Each engine-driven fuel pump incorporates a filter which is interconnected with a

                      differential pressure switch. Progressive accumulation of foreign matter will eventually
                      block the filter, allowing fuel to by-pass internally. Before this condition occurs, however,
                                                            m
                      the increased pressure will be sensed by the pressure switch and the defect signalled to

                      report the matter for rectification before the next flight. Unless rectified on the ground

                      the warning will, of course, recur at the next engine start as soon as electrical power and
                      fuel flow are on line. In these circumstances the pilot should not accept the aircraft for

                        1. Failure of a generator will result in the loss of powerplant anti-icing for
                           the engine concerned and therefore, flight in visible moisture
                           conditions in ambient air temperatures below 5 deg C is prohibited.
                           2. Failure of a generator will automatically disconnect the auxiliary

                              colour.
                       The EFIS provides two different reversionary modes of operation in the event of a
                       system component failure: Composite and Display Down. These modes can be selected
                       by a toggle switch located on the instrument panel below the EHSI.
Composite (CMPST)
                       This mode is generally used to compensate for a failure of a display unit or the EADI
                       section of the symbol generator.
                       In the event of a display unit or EADI symbol generator section failure, the composite
                       mode may be selected for display on the remaining good display unit by means of the
                       EFIS Composite/Display Down switch.
The EADI display is the basis for the Composite Display with the following added:
                                                                        e n

                       This mode is generally used to compensate for a failure of the EADI display unit or
                       section of the symbol generator. The Display Down mode will allow the pilot to transfer
                       the normal EADI display to the EHSI below.
             The EFIS receives inputs from one Vertical Gyro and one Directional Gyro. The
             combined output from these units splits to form two inputs to the Symbol Generator (one
             to each of the boards). If there is a failure of one of the boards within the Symbol
             Generator, the other board can be selected using the INPUT 1/INPUT 2 switch.
                                                                         n

             In the event of a heading failure indication (an amber ‘HDG’ on the EHSI), the
             information on the EHSI display must be checked against that on the RMI. If there is a
                                         e
             difference in indicated heading, then INPUT 2 must be selected on the EFIS input select
             switch. If the difference remains, then the pilot must use the RMI. If the displays are the
                                       p
             same, the pilot may continue to use the EHSI.

3a.7.d. Compass Failure
              A compass failure is indicated by a red HDG flag in place of the lubber line.
              Simultaneously, the course pointer head and tail will declutter leaving the D-bar. The D-
              bar will reorient on the face of the instrument providing horizontal deviation in the
              manner of a CDI.

4.1.a          Walk-round Checks
                       Refer to Fig 4-1 and effect the "walk-round" checks as described according to the
                       conditions.
                       CAUTION...

                         and tail surfaces, ensure that the solutions do not contaminate control
                         surface ballraces as this can lead to seizure.

4.1.b.         Oil Pressure Filter Inspection
                                  s
                       Each Allison 250-B17F/1 engine installed in this aircraft is fitted with an oil pressure filter
                       impending by-pass indicator. A red coloured pop-out button, for this purpose, is
                       incorporated in the filter housing on the underside of the power turbine/accessory
                       gearbox assembly. A peephole in the underside of the left cowling of each engine allows
                       the pop-out button to be viewed. When the button is seen to be ejected it indicates that
                       the oil pressure filter is about to be (or may already be) by-passed - Allison Operation
                       and Maintenance Manual GTP 5243-2 also refers. If such an indication is noted, it must
                       be reported by an entry in the technical log and rectified as soon as possible.
                                                                                      n

                       Whenever any of the engine limitations (Section 2 of this manual refers) are exceeded,
                       it should be clearly understood that they must be reported and may require inspection
                       before further flight.
                       The ground starting procedure presented in this manual is for starts in ambient
                       temperatures of 4 deg C and above. Starts in ambient temperatures below 4 deg C must
                       be performed in accordance with the 'Cold Weather Starting' instructions in
                       GTP 5243-2.

                               s
                       lever is opened and light off is attempted. Residual TGT can be reduced by motoring the
                       engine with the starter. If high ambient temperature conditions are encountered and the
                       TGT cannot be reduced to 150 deg C, motor the engine until TGT is stabilized before
                       opening the condition lever. Closely monitor TGT during the start.
1 Select and hold the starter switch lever towards the engine to be started.
                    5 If the START light does not go off when the starter is de-energized, stop
                      the engines and investigate.
                                                                       e n
                    7 The start is completed when a stabilized N1 speed of 60 to 65 per cent is
                      reached, the propeller has unfeathered and has stabilized at 59 to 69 per
                      cent N2.

                1. Depending upon conditions, the starting cycle for each engine takes
                   approximately 15 to 45 seconds.
                2. To assist in starting the other engine when using the internal battery,
                   the generator on the operating engine may be switched ON, but an N1
                   speed of 70 per cent or greater must be set

                       With condition levers set to MAX RPM, advance power levers sufficiently to obtain 100
                       per cent propeller speed (approx 400 lb ft torque). Retard condition levers to the MIN
                       RPM gate. Propeller speed should decrease to 80 per cent with a corresponding
                       increase in indicated torque. Return condition levers to the MAX RPM position and
                       check that propeller speed increases to 100 per cent and the original torque setting is
                       regained. Reduce power to IDLE.
4.11. Taxiing
              Directional control is by nosewheel steering, differential brakes, or differential power.
              Minimum power is sufficient to keep the aircraft rolling on level tarmac and intermittent
              short positive applications of the brakes may be necessary to check the taxiing speed.
              Avoid continuous light brake pedal pressure in the interests of brake life.
              CAUTION...
                Light brake pedal pressure will cause brake operation. Avoid inadvertent
                application of brakes when taxiing and particularly during take-off.

              and technique given below, under the heading of Recommended Procedure, must be
              followed. If the aircraft has been subjected to moisture before take-off and is then
                                                                                  e
              operated at an altitude above freezing level, it is possible for the stall warning system to
              become unserviceable, because of freezing, if the pitot/stall warning heaters are not

              When taking-off from runways with visible standing water, the engine igniters should be
                                             p
              on to minimize the risk of engine flameout due to water spray ingestion. These
                                       s
              conditions should be recognized by the pilot at the earliest possible time during the initial
              engine start sequence. The engines should be started by selecting ON CONT for
              continuous igniter operation, and leaving them selected to ON CONT until after take-off.
              Take-off in conditions of significant standing water has been demonstrated, but the pilot
              should monitor engine power for any temporary power loss resulting from severe water
              ingestion, particularly at speeds below 40 knots IAS. If this occurs, the pilot must decide
              whether to abort or continue the take-off.
              It has been demonstrated that the aircraft is capable of taking off in a 25 kt crosswind.
              Differential power is not required.
                          1 At a height above 200 ft select flaps UP and trim for resultant nose heavy
                            condition.
                          3 The best Rate and Gradient of Climb speed is 90 kt IAS, but a more
                            comfortable attitude is maintained at 110 kt IAS.

                       The Allison 250-B17F/1 engine is certificated to operate at the maximum continuous
                       TGT of 810 deg C (red radial line on the TGT indicator), however, optimum engine life is
                               s
                       not achieved when engines are operated for prolonged periods at, or near, the limit.
                       For normal operations it is recommended that following the use of Maximum Take-Off
                       Power for five minutes during take-off and initial climb, no more than Normal Cruise
                       Power is used. Normal Cruise Power is achieved by setting 983 lb ft torque with 100 per
                       cent N2. A normal cruise TGT limit of 752 deg C should also be observed.
                       The limits of 810 deg C TGT and 105 per cent N1 can be used for:
                       • One engine inoperatve flight at Maximum Continuous Power
                       • Balked landing at Maximum Take-Off Power.
                       The engine manufacturer’s maintenance programmes are based upon operations in
                       accordance with the above recommendations and it is important, therefore, that they are
                       carefully observed.
              If the aircraft is flown above 15000 ft the minimum allowable N1 is 70%. For further
              information refer to Section 3a paragraph 3a. Engine Speed Monitor System Operation.

              To prevent sluggish action of the propeller governors, which may arise due to the very
              low ambient temperatures encountered at high altitudes, it is recommended that the

4.17.l.         Stalling
                      Stalls are characterized by pitch attitude breaks, accompanied by some controllable
                      rolling and yawing motion. The stall warning system provides an audible warning at a
                      speed no lower than 5 kt above the stall. Recovery action is normal. Provided the
                      recovery action is taken promptly, the height loss will be small. Table 4-2 shows the
                      applicable stalling speeds for combinations of weights and flap settings, with power off,
                      at the forward CG position.

Notes...
                         1. As engine speed falls through 60 per cent N1, the N1 LOW SPEED
                            indicators will flash and the warning tone will be heard over the audio
                            system.
                         2. When N1 falls below 50 per cent the N1 LOW SPEED indicator will
                            cease to operate.
                                                                          n
                         3. If the engine has been ground run at high power, maintain the engine
                            at IDLE for 2 minutes before shutdown.

              When operated in accordance with Fig 5-20, the aircraft will achieve a one-engine-
              inoperative positive rate of climb, with the flaps in the take-off position, at a gross height
              of 400 ft above the airfield. The aircraft will also achieve a one-engine-inoperative gross
              gradient of climb in excess of 0.75% at a gross height of 1500 ft above the airfield.

              Extreme care must be taken to ensure that during loading, a proper check is kept upon
              the fuel and cargo placed on board.
              If any item of cargo is to be carried, which has density and or shape precluding the use
              of the mean cargo area arms, the load moment of that item must be computed
              separately.
              All cargo must be carefully secured, Fig 6-3 shows four and six point lashing systems
              using cargo restraints. Fig 6-4 shows the weight and centre of gravity limits in graphical
              format and Table 6-1 shows the same information in tabular format.
              The total weight and moment must be within the approved weight and centre of gravity
              limits. It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensure that the aircraft is loaded correctly.
              The Basic Weight and applicable moment are shown on the Weighing Form. If the
              aircraft has been altered, refer to the Basic Weight and Balance Record for this
              information.

7.1.           General
                       The BN2T-4S Islander aircraft is a rugged, dependable turbine engined twin, with
                       outstanding low speed and handling performance.
                       This Section describes the various aircraft systems in sufficient detail to enable the
                       pilot new to the type to rapidly become familiar with the BN2T-4S Islander.
7.3.           Airframe
                       The fuselage is of semi-monocoque construction built up from fabricated frames, and is
                       increased in length by 30 inches ahead of the wing as compared to the BN2 Islander
                       fuselage. The wing is built in one piece and integrally constructed nacelles provide
                       support for the fixed extension tubes of the main undercarriage units. Fuel tanks are
                       situated outboard of each engine nacelle and are an integral part of the wing structure
                       between the front and rear spars. The one-piece tail plane is of similar construction to
                                                                            n
                       the wing. Stabilons are mounted on the fin. The control surfaces are all metal, embody
                       mass balance weights and are aerodynamically balanced.
                                                          m               e

                       Conventional manually operated flight controls are installed at both pilot’s positions.
                                                       c
                       Figs. 7-1, 7-2 and 7-3 show the layout of the flight controls.

                       Ailerons and rudder control systems are cable operated while the elevator is operated by
                                      p
                       a combination of push-pull rods and cables. The left aileron has an electrically operated
                               s
                       trim tab, the right aileron a balance tab. The aileron trim is operated by a rocker switch
                       on the pilot’s handwheel. The rudder trim system is operated by a handwheel in the
                       cabin roof and the elevator trim system by a handwheel on the right side of the pilot’s
                       console. The degree of trim applied is shown by separate indicators for each system.
                       The trim controls and indicators are shown in Fig. 7-2.

               The gyros require approximately 25 minutes to spin down and stop at any time after
               the inverters have been selected OFF.
CAUTION...

                   During the spin down period the aircraft should not be moved as damage
                   may occur to the gyros. If the aircraft has to be moved within 30 minutes of
                                                                            e

           System Configuration
                                                      c
               The modular design of the EFS 40 system allows it to be installed in various
                                         e
               configurations, and interfaced with other aircraft systems.
                                       p
               The system comprises two 4 inch display screens in the pilot’s position and is
                                  s
               configured for ADF 1, ADF 2, VOR/ILS 1, VOR/ILS 2, GPS, DME 1 and DME 2
               sensors.
           DME hold
               When DME HOLD is selected, DME information on the EHSI screen is blanked and
               only appears on the separate DME indicator.
           Display Input
               The EFIS receives inputs from one Vertical Gyro and one Directional Gyro. The combined
               output from these units is split to form two inputs to the Symbol Generator (one to each of
               the two boards within the Symbol Generator). In the event of a board failure, the other can
               be selected using the INPUT 1/INPUT 2 switch.
               The board selection within the symbol generator is thus controlled by the EFIS input select
               switch (INPUT1/INPUT 2) which is mounted on the instrument panel below the EHSI. The
               normal system operating mode is with the switch in the INPUT 1 position. When INPUT 2
               is selected there is an ‘ATT 2’ indication on the EADI and a ‘HDG 2’ indication on the EHSI.
               If an attitude failure indication occurs during flight, then the EADI display should be selected
               to INPUT 2. If attitude failure indication remains displayed, the Standby horizon gyro must
               be used for attitude reference.

                       Changing from one display to another requires approximately one second and is
                       accompanied by an audio warning.

               The stand-by compass is affected by local magnetic field deviations caused by electrical
               equipment and airframe structure. These deviations are measured under the conditions
               listed above and recorded on the compass deviation card. The compass deviation card
               for the stand-by compass is positioned on the windscreen central pillar. The central
               column of the deviation card shows the required heading, while the day or night columns
               show the compass reading that should be steered to achieve the required heading.

               The aircraft is powered by two Allison 250-B17F/1 free turbine turboprop engines,
                                       p
               flat-rated to 400 s.h.p. This power output is maintained from Sea Level up to a height of
               approximately 8000 ft under Standard Day conditions. The engines are controlled by
                                  s
               the two POWER levers through the operating range between the maximum take-off
               torque permitted (1035 lb ft) MAX, and the IDLE position at 61-64% N1.
               The two ENGINE ANTI-ICE switches provide electrical icing protection to the engine
               air intakes and propellers as well as bleed air protection to the compressor inlet guide
               vanes and front bearing hub.
               Refer to Section 7.41.a. for fuller information on engine and propeller anti-icing.
7.19. Propeller
               Two Hartzell three-bladed HC-C3YF-5F/FC-7818(K) constant speed fully feathering
               propellers are fitted. The operating pitch range of the propellers is controlled by the
               two CONDITION levers between the MAX RPM position and the FUEL OFF
               FEATHER position, passing through a MIN RPM gate. Propeller speed governing is by
               means of a propeller/power turbine governor, as well as a propeller overspeed
               governor, fitted to each Power Plant.
               The propellers have electrically heated anti-icing boots. Operation of the respective
               ENGINE ANTI-ICE switches mounted on the Pilot’s Switch panel supplies current to
               the propeller on the same side.
                                                                             n

               Individually adjustable pilot’s seats are a customer option. If specified they are installed
               on fixed rails to allow fore and aft movement with adjustment controls for seat back angle
               and height. When these seats are fitted, Row 2 in the passenger cabin should not be
               fitted with a fixed bench seat.
7.23.b. Cabin
               The passenger cabin can be fitted with bench seats, either fixed position or sliding on
               seat rails. As an alternative the individual adjustable seats are also a customer option.

               All seats are equipped with diagonal shoulder harnesses. A lap strap is attached to the
               seat frame while the shoulder strap inertia reel is attached to the aircraft fuselage. The

               shoulder strap is joined to the lap strap by a connector that attaches between the lap

               strap buckle and its connector. To release the harness, lift the buckle cover, the lap
               strap will separate and allow the shoulder strap to retract. When the shoulder strap is

               For take-off and landing the position of the sliding seats should be adjusted so that the
               inertia reel guide is behind the occupant’s shoulder.

7.25.c. Fuel Distribution

                       A schematic diagram of the fuel distribution system is shown in Figure 7-11. Fuel is
                       normally supplied from the main fuel tank to the engine on the same wing. The pilot
                                         e
                       controls fuel supply to the engines using the left and right fuel cock selectors on the

                       cabin roof (see Fig. 7-12). Depending on the positions of the selectors the normal or
                       cross-feed supply can be selected, an OFF position is also available.

                       Auxiliary fuel pumps are provided only to maintain the engine manufacturer’s fuel inlet
                       pressure specification above 5000 ft and must, therefore, be selected ON above this
                       altitude to maintain positive pressure (See Altitude Limitation in Section 2). Satisfactory
                       function of the auxiliary fuel pumps is shown by a positive fuel pressure indication, the
                       extent of which depends upon the power setting. (Below 5000 ft, with auxiliary fuel
                       pumps off, a negative fuel pressure indication may occur and is quite normal). An
                       emergency back-up pump is provided for each auxiliary fuel pump. Only two circuit
                       breakers are provided for the four auxiliary pumps; to maintain system independence
                       the left circuit breaker is connected to the left main auxiliary pump and the right back-up
                       pump, while the right circuit breaker is connected vice versa. The auxiliary main and
                       auxiliary back-up fuel pump switches are located on the roof instrument panel (see
                       Fig. 7-6).

7.25.e. Refuelling
               When refuelling the aircraft the following procedures should be followed:
               •   Park the aircraft with the wings level.
               •   To ensure correct weight and balance calculations, always refuel with known
                   quantities.
               •   Whenever possible, aircraft fuel tanks should be full to minimise water condensation.
                                                                            n
               4 which the pilot is required to perform before and during flight.

           General
                                                     c i
               When committed to prolonged operation in temperatures of 0 deg C or below, a lack of
               anti-icing additive in the fuel will cause fuel filter icing and subsequent engine “flame-
                                          e
               out”. It is therefore essential to refuel the aircraft with fuel having an approved additive
                                        p
               already blended in, or to arrange for any untreated fuel to have the additive introduced at
               the time of refuelling. (Section 2 of this manual refers). The following information
                                   s
               describes the recommended procedure for introducing a typical fuel anti-icing additive
               during the refuelling operation.
           Anti-icing additives
               WARNING...
                 FUEL ADDITIVE MAY BE HARMFUL IF INHALED OR SWALLOWED. USE
                 ADEQUATE VENTILATION. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES. IF
                 SPRAYED INTO EYES, FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER AND
                 CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
               Before refuelling, check with the fuel supplier to determine if the fuel contains an anti-
               icing additive meeting the requirements of MIL-I-85470A or DEF STAN 68-252. Fuel
               which contains the additive, as blended at the refinery, will need no further treatment and
               may be used as supplied. If the fuel does not contain anti-icing additive, however, use
               the blending procedure described below. The additive concentration by volume shall be
               a minimum of 0.060 per cent and a maximum of 0.15 per cent.
                       Ensure that refuelling hose is electrically bonded to tank inlet bonding peg before
                       commencing. For quantities loaded, use the calibrated bowser or fixed base pump
                       metering gauges. Confirm fuel load on the aircraft fuel gauges after refuelling has
                       been completed, or by dipsticking the tanks.
                       Ensure that the additive is directed into the fuel stream and that additive flow is started
                       after fuel flow starts and is stopped before fuel flow stops. Do not allow undiluted
                       additive to contact interior of fuel tank or aircraft painted surface. Use one full can of 20
                                                                             n
                       fl.oz of additive in not more than 260 US gallons of fuel or less than 104 US gallons of
                       fuel in order to achieve the required blending rate.

               The distribution manifold supplies the Standby Artificial Horizon gyroscope, the vacuum

               gauge, and two red popper buttons in the vacuum gauge. If either L or R engine driven
               system fails, the popper button for that side will automatically come out to indicate the
                                       p
               failure.

               The vacuum pumps can be adjusted to supply dry air from their exhaust outlets at the
               higher pressure of 4.7 to 5.2 in Hg to the airframe de-icer boots, if fitted.
               The switch marked PITOT & STALL WARN HEATERS in the ICE PROTECTION
               section of the pilot’s switch panel supplies current to the heater for the lift detector unit
               of the stall warning indicator.
                       A timer cycles the propeller blade heaters on and off every 90 seconds on the SLOW
                       setting of the ENGINE ANTI-ICE switches, while the FAST setting is on for 45 seconds
                                                                             n
                       and off for 135 seconds. The intake heater cycles on and off according to a thermal
                       monitor.

                       The selection of either FAST or SLOW settings by the pilot must be in accordance with

                         The formation of intake ice may cause rapid power loss. Selecting Power Plant
