SECTION I

INTRODUCTION

This handbook should be read carefully by the owner and the operator in order to become familiar with theoperation of the airplane. Suggestions and recommendations have been made within it to aid in obtainingmaximum performance without sacrificing economy. Be familiar with, and operate the airplane in

accordance with, the Pilot’s Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Flight Manual, and/or placards

which are located in the airplane.

As a further reminder, the owner and operator of the airplane should also be familiar with the Federal

Aviation Regulations applicable to the operation and maintenance of the airplane, and FAR Part 91,

General Operating and Flight Rules. Further, the airplane must be operated and maintained in accordancewith FAA Airworthiness Directives which may be issued against it.

The Federal Aviation Regulations place the responsibility for the maintenance of this airplane on the owner

and the operator, who should ensure that all maintenance is done by qualified mechanics in conformity withall airworthiness requirements established for this airplane.

All limits, procedures, safety practices, time limits, servicing, and maintenance requirements contained inthis handbook are considered mandatory for the continued airworthiness of this airplane in a condition

equal to that of its original manufacture.

USE OF THE MANUAL

A current manual is an informative manual. Every effort will be made by Dynamic Aviation Group, Inc. to

incorporate the latest information available so that you may always have a current BEECHCRAFT King

Air 65-A90-1 & -4 Pilot’s Operating Manual. The following information will inform you of the divisions ofthe book and the proper manner of updating the revision records and amending the content of the book as

the material becomes available to you.

DIVISIONS OF THE MANUAL

The Pilot’s Operating Manual is divided into two basic parts: the FAA Approved portion which includesthe FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual and Supplements (each page being identified as such with the

FAA approved date), and the Pilot's Operating Manual that is not FAA Approved, which includes the

remainder of the manual. The FAA Approved sections of the manual are distinguished from the non-

approved sections with divider tabs marked “FAA Approved” preceding the title of the section.

The FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual bears its own part number and is a complete manual in itself.

The Pilot’s Operating Manual bears a separate part number and is incomplete without the FAA ApprovedFlight Manual.

PILOT’S OPERATING MANUAL REVISION RECORD

The Pilot’s Operating Manual “Log of Revisions” pages are used for description of all revisions to the

Pilot’s Operating Manual. When a revision is made, a new “Log of Revisions” sheet will be issued. This

must be inserted immediately ahead of all previously issued “Log of Revisions” sheets. All “Log ofRevisions” pages must be retained in the manual to provide a current record of revision status. As noted at

the bottom of the page, each revised portion of the pages issued will have a black vertical bar indicating the

current change. All revised pages listed in the new “Log of Revisions” are to be removed and replaced withthe current page. The Control Page will also be changed to reflect the current status of the Pilot’s Operating

Manual.

FAA APPROVED AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL REVISION RECORD

The FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual “FAA Log of Revisions” pages are used for description of all

Revisions to the FAA Approved portion of the Flight Manual, except the Airplane Flight ManualSupplements. When a FAA Approved Revision is made, a new “FAA Log of Revisions” sheet will be

issued. This must be inserted immediately ahead of all previously issued “FAA Log of Revisions” sheets.

All “FAA Log of Revisions” pages must be retained in the manual to provide a current record of revisionstatus. As noted at the bottom of the page, each revised portion of the pages issued will have a blackvertical bar indicating the current change. All revised pages listed in the new “FAA Log of Revisions” are

operation. Use of this rating should be limited to normal take-off operations andemergency situations

CONTROL AND INSTRUMENT TERMINOLOGY

Condition Lever The fuel shut-off lever actuates a valve in the fuel control unit which controls

(Fuel Shut-off the flow of fuel at the fuel control outlet and regulates the idle range from LowLever) to High idle.

ITT (Interstage Eight probes wired in parallel indicate the temperature between the compressorTurbine and power turbines.

Temperature

N1 Tachometer The tachometer registers the rpm of the gas generator with 100% representing a(Gas Generator gas generator speed of 37,500 rpm.

RPM)

Power Lever (Gas This lever serves to modulate engine power from full reverse thrust to take-off.Generator N1 The position for idle represents the lowest recommended level of power for

RPM) flight operation.

Propeller Control This lever requests the control to maintain rpm at a selected value and, in the

Lever N2 RPM) maximum decrease rpm position, feathers the propeller.

Propeller Governor This governor will maintain the selected speed requested by the propellercontrol lever, except on reverse selection where the power lever interconnection

to the integral pneumatic area of the governor will select a lower speed. The pneumatic area during normal selection will act as an overspeed limiter.

Torquemeter The torquemeter system determines the shaft output torque. Torque values areobtained by tapping into two outlets on the reduction gear case and recording the

differential pressure from the outlets. The relationship between torquemeter

pressure and propeller shaft power is shown in LIMITATIONS Section III.Instrument readout is in foot-pounds.

Empty Weight The weight of an empty airplane before any oil or fuel has been added. Thisincludes all permanently installed equipment, fixed ballast, full hydraulic fluid,

full chemical toilet fluid, and all other operating fluids, full, except that the

engines, tanks, and lines do not contain any engine oil or fuel.

SECTION IISYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS

PROPULSION SYSTEM

ENGINE

The PT6A-20 is a reverse-flow, free-turbine engine.

Air enters through an intake screen and passes into a

three-stage axial and a single-stage centrifugal

compressor driven by a single-stage reaction turbine.

Another single-stage reaction turbine counter-

rotating with the first, drives the propeller through a

two-stage reduction gear. Fuel is sprayed into the

annular combustion chamber by fourteen individual

removable fuel nozzles mounted around the gas

generator case. A low voltage ignition unit and coil

igniter plugs are used to start combustion. A

hydropneumatic fuel control schedules fuel flow tomaintain the power set by the gas generator Power

Lever. The accessory section and integral oil tank are

located on the aft end of the gas generator.

IGNITIONThe Starter-Ignition switch for each engine has three

positions. In the IGNITION AND ENGINE START

position, power is supplied to the ignition and starter

systems, and a light on the annunciator panel

illuminates, showing ignition operation. When not in

use, the switch is returned to the STOP position. In

the spring-loaded STARTER ONLY position, power

is supplied to
