210 Systems/Procedures Course Check for operation of avionics fan during preflight (No-Go Item) Operation of cabin ventilation fan for passenger comfort Use of rudder trim essential for proper autopilot navigation Heater/Defroster interlock to prevent damage to windshield ** Caution against ground operation with significant power esp. in vicinity of stones; marginal soft-field abilities of this aircraft Location of Squat Switch Nose strut inflation technique (Nitrogen) Proper Intercooler operation (altered power settings, caution operating unintentionally at too high a power setting) (** Controversial/Debatable) Intercooled aircraft typically set for takeoff fuel flow above redline (for adequate fuel flow at higher altitudes) Typical target TIT 1500, CHT400, Oil temp200 Competing theories of boot operation timing (See article) *** Importance of replacing original factory fuel caps to minimize water entry in tanks *** Pre-flight inspection to check for damaged noseribs on horizontal stabilizer Caution high power or taxiing over stones/gravel/soft fields during ground operations Continental TopCare program for engine trend monitoring Importance of engine baffling/oil cooler to engine life Alternate points of view re: leaning engine on ground Turbocharger theory and critical altitude check procedure Consider 2 weight/balance lists (with 6th seat installed vs. removed) Location of autopilot computer (often under rear seats) How to identify turbocharger failure on engine runup Failure modes with double alternator failure (i.e. master switch solenoid)Suggest Battery-powered backup GPS Varied trim settings based upon aircraft loadings Oil filler cap gasket as a critical preflight item Need to carry high-altitude enroute charts for flight at and above FL180 Potential altitude-related failure mode of fuel controller Need to include fuel flow in scan on takeoff run (186 lbs./hr), implications on engine operation and pilot reactions to low vs. high fuel flow Failure modes with dual vacuum pump, including need to inspect/replace vacuum manifold periodically Potential sources pressurization leaks, including common (emergency door or windows) and uncommon (gear boots leading to pressurization leak only when gear up) Do not be alarmed at pressurization "whistles" Limitations/Comparisons of Cessna Standby Generator vs. B&C Alternator vs. TurboAlternator Operating considerations/limitations for Speed Brake and/or STOL equipped airplanes Operating considerations/limitations for airplanes with wing-tip and/or baggage compartment fuel tanks Emergency gear procedures with vs. without gear doors, i.e. turning off master switch can open solenoid Pilot and Maintenance procedures to address temperature-depenent variance in fuel flow on takeoff Identification/implications on boot operations of weak but operative primary vacuum pump Implications of asymmetric prop icing with partial prop heat failure Operation of 2 door interlocks both inside and outside cabin Operational cautions vs. usefulness operating with pressurization set to sea level in winter Door mechanism operation to seal fully when plane is left in rain Minimum airspeed for operation in icing conditions Landing procedures after encountering icing conditions Minimum airspeed in icing condition climb Hot start procedures Operating procedures at high density altitude airports Pros/cons of leaning for taxi Turbocharger cooldown procedures Flight profiles to avoid shock cooling Comparative risk of decompression in a single-engine piston airplane vs. multi-engine turboprop/jet Consider 20-minute emergency oxygen system for flight above Fl190 in P210 Consider carrying Afrin onboard for depressurization medical incidents High altitude engine performance including "bootstrapping" High altitude restart tehniques including comparison of Cessna vs. Continental recommendations Recent P210 inflight breakup an potential causes/preventive techniques Potential engine failure from loss of upper air deck hose and corrective action (boost pump on) Seasonal variations in engine operating procedures Varying thoughts on takeoff fuel flow, i.e. redline vs. over redline Life-limited parts on P210 (windshield, window, ice light) Consider 10 degrees flaps with electrical failure to minimize runway length requirements for landing Operation of exterior courtesy light Operation procedures with original vs. slope turbo controller Use of high vs. low fuel pump for emergency procedures Use of high vs. low fuel pump for normal procedures in start and climb Tendency of fuel to spray from vents if tanks are full and ball is not centered in climb Importance of pre-flighting fuel vents esp. in cold weather Technique to verify TKS tanks are full Cessna 400B Autopilot operating quirks esp. with newer GPS units Fuel tank switching procedure/timing to minimize vapor lock Weaker brakes when flying from right seat Avoid both flaps and speedbrakes in icing conditions Identifying TKS pump failure Inconel vs. Stainless exhausts: Maintenance and AD issues Implications of static system leak inside vs. outside pressure vessel re: partial panel interpretation Post-start ammeter check Implications of vacuum system leak in pressurized vs. non-pressurized flight Gear mirror design for known-ice compatibility Oil temperature variance with outside temperature vs. phase of flight vs. engine age vs. oil selection vs. mechanical malfunctions Throttle controller calibration effects vs. oil temperature Reasons to consider flying with electric pressurization switch "on" at all times with dump valve pulled Static wick effects on avionics function Door pin pre-flight and damage prevention considerations Effect of overly long breather tube on icing risks Effect of improperly shaped/sized fuel vents on icing considerations Rigging test to assure no interference between rudder and elevator Grounding strap in tail section Availability of structural support STC for tail Inspect nosewheel pins for absence of towing damages Vinyl flap tabs to prevent damage with movement Multiple possible modes of turbocharger failurewastegate, turbo controller, blade loss, oil leak Importance of changing turbo check valve on a regular basis Performance tables for original airframe vs. modified induction air scoop Significant potential of aircraft to weathervane without full aileron to stop on crosswind takeoff or landing roll Turn off autopilot in icing conditions Conditions amenable to elevator or elevator trim freeze in icing conditions and procedures to handle these situations Cowl flap position can affect vacuum pump pressure Run both TKS pumps periodically for lubrication purposes (if equipped with known-ice TKS) P210 Pressurization/High Altitude Checkout Pressurization can be an extremely effective tool to add comfort, utility, and safety to operation of an aircraft. However, understanding the advantages and limitations of pressurization is important for safety, particularly...
