Before Takeoff - Cessna Grand Caravan 208B G1000 Manual

MODEL 208B G1000

BEFORE TAKEOFF

The FUEL TANK SELECTORS are normally both ON for takeoff and all
flight operations. However, one side can be turned OFF as required to
balance the fuel load.
•
Do not exceed 200 pounds fuel imbalance in
flight.
•
To obtain accurate fuel quantity indicator
readings, verify the airplane is parked in a
laterally level condition; or, if in flight, make sure
the airplane is in a coordinated and stabilized
condition.
When checking the INERTIAL SEPARATOR with engine power set at
400 foot-pounds, it is typical to see an approximate 25 foot-pound drop
in torque when the T-handle is pulled to the BYPASS position. This
torque drop will vary some with wind conditions during static check.
A neutral index mark is added to the pedestal cover which corresponds
to the zero degree trim tab position. As loadings vary towards the
forward C.G. limit or aft C.G. limit, elevator trim settings towards the
nose up and nose down ends of this takeoff range, respectively, will
provide comfortable control wheel forces during takeoff and initial climb.
Prior to takeoff, the FUEL CONDITION Lever is moved forward to the
HIGH IDLE position (approximately 65% N
until after landing. The higher gas generator idle speed for flight
provides faster engine acceleration when adding power (from an idle
condition) on approach or for a balked landing go-around.
