ORGANIZATION OF THE MANUAL
GENERAL
This Aeroplane Operating Manual (AOM) has been prepared by Bombardier Aerospace Regional Aircraft.
It is provided for the guidance of pilots when operating the DHC 8-Q400 Series airplanes.
It is in the responsibility of pilots who are qualified to operate this airplane to be entirely familiar with the information contained in this publication to ensure that the airplane is operated at all times within the approved flight
envelope.
NOTE:
It is the operator’s responsibility to keep the manual in a current status.
For clarity and simplicity, this manual is written in the imperative, in order that the information and operating
instructions may be presented in a positive sense and require no interpretation by the user.
Specific items requiring emphasis are expanded upon and ranked in increasing order of importance in the form
of a NOTE, CAUTION or WARNING.
NOTE:
Expands on information which has already been provided.
CAUTION: Provides information to prevent misuse of systems which could directly affect their
function or serviceability.
WARNING: Emphasizes information of immediate flight safety importance.
Bombardier Aerospace, Regional Aircraft publications use both metric and imperial systems of measurement.
The system used in the original reference document is given first, followed by the conversion in parentheses.
If the data or procedures written in this manual are different from those given by the regulatory authority (which
controls operation of the airplane), obey the data and procedures of the regulatory authority.
NOTE:
The information in this manual applies only to the Dash 8-Q400 airplanes.
The AOM consists of 4 Volumes (6 Chapters) as follows:
Volume 1 – Chapters 0 to 3
Volume 2 – Chapters 4 and 5
Volume 3 – Chapters 6.1 to 6.12
Volume 4 – Chapters 6.13 to 6.29
Each Volume is identified by the title page only.
Each Chapter is identified by the list of effective pages (LEP) and a table of content (ToC).
In the event of a disagreement the AFM is relevant.
CONTENTS
The AOM provides flight crews with necessary information concerning the airplane systems, limitations, procedures and performance data. The system described may differ from the actual customized airplane.
Chapters are divided into Sub-Chapters and Subjects.
Tab dividers showing chapter titles and numbers are provided for prompt identification.
Procedures and checklists reflect Bombardier Aerospace Flight Operations Department philosophy.
PAGE IDENTIFICATION
Each manual page presents airplane series, manual designation and chapter title and number.
Page identification consists of the Chapter, Sub-Chapter, Page number, Revision status and Date of effectivity.
Arrangement of Page identification (sample):
0.0-1
= [Chapter] . [Sub-Chapter] - [Page Number]
[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011= Revision Number and Date of last issue
A normal Blank Page within a page block is identified with the phrase:

TABLES and DRAWINGS
Tables and drawings are identified by their titles and numbers.
Table numbers and titles are displayed at the top.
Figure numbers and titles at the bottom of the respective illustration.
MANUAL UP-DATING
LIST OF EFFECTIVE PAGES (LEP)
The LEP enables the user to determine that the manual is up-to-date, with all revisions incorporated and all
deleted pages removed.
The contents of this AOM must at all times comply with the contents as given by the LEP.
REVISION
Revisions will be distributed whenever necessary.
The revision date is shown on the revised page, even if there is only one page affected by the revision.
Revised text (added or deleted material) and / or illustrations are indicated by a vertical black line along the
outside margin of the column or page.
Changes in capitalization, spelling, punctuation or the physical location of material on a page will not be identified by a symbol.
RECORD OF REVISIONS (RoR)
The record of revisions contains revision date, date inserted and incorporator’s initials.
Revisions are issued on the assumption that previous revisions have been incorporated.
TEMPORARY REVISIONS (TR)
Sometimes it may be necessary to supply the operator with information which has not yet been processed fully.
A Temporary Revision will then be issued on a subscription basis.
It will be printed on yellow paper to distinguish these from normal revisions.
The Temporary Revisions are not incorporated in the LEP.
Every Temporary Revision has a follow-up; either a normal revision or a notice stating that the Temporary Revision has been cancelled.
RECORD OF TEMPORARY REVISIONS (RoTR)
The Record of Temporary Revisions enables recording of the successive temporary revision numbers, page
numbers and issue dates, with additional columns for date inserted, date removed and incorporator’s /
remover’s initials.
The replacement page will be issued only after the available entry space has been used.
OBTAINING REVISIONS
The user has to check the pages in the manual for approval date to be the same as shown in the LEP for that
page.
If any page is missing or shows an incorrect approval date, the user has to apply for replacements to:

becomes inoperative and with the remaining engine at maximum take-off power.
VREF
Landing / Approach Speed at a height 50 ft above the runway in the landing configuration
OAT
Outside Air Temperature (in flight SAT = OAT).
SAT
Static Air Temperature (in flight SAT = OAT).
σ
Density Ratio.
Take-off Distance
The Take-off Distance is the longer of:
a. 115% of the distance from the start of the take-off roll to the point at which the airplane attains a height of 35 ft above the take-off surface, with all engines operating.
b. For dry runway, the distance from the start of the take-off roll to the point where the
airplane attains a height of 35 ft above the take-off surface, with a critical engine failure such that the failure would be recognized at the decision speed V1.
c. For wet runway, the distance from the start of the take-off roll to the point where the
airplane attains a height of at least 15 ft above the take-off surface, with a critical
engine failure such that the failure would be recognized at the decision speed V1.
Take-off Run
The Take-off Run is the longer of:
a. 115% of the distance from the start of the take-off roll to the mid-point between lift-off
and the point at which the airplane attains a height of 35 ft above the take-off surface, with all engines operating.
b. For dry runway, the distance from the start of the take-off roll to the mid-point
between lift-off and the point at which the airplane attains a height of 35 ft above the
take-off surface, with a critical engine failure such that the failure would be recognized at the decision speed V1.
c. For wet runway, the distance from the start of the take-off roll to the point where the
airplane attains a height of at least 15 ft above the take-off surface, with a critical
engine failure such that the failure would be recognized at the decision speed V1.
Stopway
An area beyond the take-off runway at least as wide as the runway and centered upon
the extended centerline of the runway, able to support the airplane during an aborted
take-off, without causing structural damage to the airplane and designated by the airport authorities for use in decelerating the airplane during an aborted take-off.

Accelerate-Stop
Distance
The Accelerate-Stop Distance is the longer of a) and b) which are defined below:
a) Accelerate-Stop Distance with an engine failure at VEF as defined below:
1. The distance necessary to accelerate the airplane from a standing start to VEF
with all engines operating plus:
2. The distance required to accelerate the airplane from VEF to V1 and continue the
acceleration for a further 1 s, assuming the critical engine fails at VEF plus:
3. The distance required to come to a full stop from the point reached at the end of
the acceleration period prescribed in paragraph a)2. above, assuming that the
pilot does not apply any means of retarding the airplane until that point is reached
and that the critical engine is still inoperative plus:
4. A distance margin equal to 2 s at V1.
b) Accelerate-Stop Distance with all engines operating as defined below:
1. The distance necessary to accelerate the airplane from a standing start to V1 and
continue the acceleration for a further 1.0 s with all engines operating plus:
2. The distance required to come to a full stop from the point reached at the end of
the acceleration period prescribed in paragraph b)1. above, assuming that the
pilot does not apply any means of retarding the airplane until that point is reached
and that all engines are still operating plus:
3. A distance margin equal to 2 s at V1.
Clearway
An area beyond the runway, not less than 500 ft (152 m) wide, centrally located about
the extended centerline of the runway and under the control of the airport authorities.
The clearway is expressed in terms of a clearway plane, extending from the end of the
runway with an upward slope not exceeding 1.25%, above which no object nor any terrain protrudes.
However, threshold lights may protrude above the plane if their height above the end of
the runway is 26 in (66 cm) or less and if they are located to each side of the runway.
(the clearway in no instance may be more than one half the runway length as required
by the relevant operating regulation)
Wet Runway
A runway is considered as wet when there is sufficient moisture on the runway surface
to cause it to appear reflective, but without significant areas of standing water.
Take-off Field
Lengths on Wet
Runway
The Take-off Run required is equal to the Take-off Distance required.
Take-off Path
The Take-off Path begins from a standing start and ends at 1500 ft above the take-off
surface or at the point where transition from take-off to enroute configuration is completed, whichever is higher.
Take-off Flight Path
The Take-off Flight Path begins at the end of the take-off distance and at a height of 35
ft above the take-off surface and ends at 1500 ft above the take-off surface, or at the
point where transition from take-off to enroute configuration is completed, whichever is
higher.
Net Take-off Flight
Path
The Net Take-off Flight Path is the actual take-off flight path diminished by a gradient of
climb (or equivalent reduction in acceleration along that part of the take-off flight path at
which the airport is accelerated in level flight) of 0.8%.
Land Immediately
at the Nearest
Suitable Airport
Land at the Nearest Suitable Airport that offers sufficient runway Landing Distance
Available and if required, emergency services to support the emergency or abnormality.
Land at the
Nearest Suitable
Airport
The airplane may continue to the destination airport or the nearest airport where maintenance services are available.
Maintenance
Action Required
Prior to Next Flight
“Next Flight” is referring to the immediate or imminent Take-Off after discovery

This target-bug rating should not be exceeded deliberately except in an emergency situation.
•
Setting can be found in the normal checklist and in the AOM, Chapter 4.
Maximum Take-Off (MTOP) (5071 SHP) 106% TRQ
•
This is the maximum power on the operating engine certified and is time limited to 5 min (or 10 min when
approved in an AFM Supplement).

•
This is the take-off power developed under normal take-off conditions.
Maximum Continuous (MCP) ................................................................................................................100%
•
The maximum continuous power rating is the maximum power certified for continuous use.
This rating should only be used when required to ensure safe flight (i.e. engine failure).
1.11.4.7
Engine Ice Protection
Engine intake by-pass doors must be open for engine operation in icing conditions.
NOTES:
1. Icing conditions exist when the SAT on the ground and for take-off is 10°C or below, or SAT in flight
is 5°C or below and visible moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of one
mile or less, rain, snow, sleet or ice crystals).
Ice accretion on aerodynamic surfaces is not considered to exist at temperatures of - 40°C or
below.
2. Icing conditions also exist when the SAT on the ground and for take-off is 10°C or below when operating on ramps, taxiways or runways where surface snow, ice, standing water or slush may be
ingested by the engines or freeze on engines, nacelles or engine sensor probes.

NORMAL PROCEDURES
2.0.1
Introduction
2.0-1
[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011
The Procedures described herein are intended to facilitate the safe and expeditious operation of the Dash 8, in
both an operational and training environment. It is essential that both crew members have a thorough knowledge of the procedures, and adhere to them unless the safety of the flight dictates otherwise.
This document consists of five Sections:
General Information
Describes policies regarding crew co-ordination, checklist procedures, use of the Autoflight Control System
(AFCS) and standard calls.
Normal Operating Procedures
Normal Operations for normal flight and Operation on Wet and Contaminated Runways.
Flight Procedures
This Section supplements the Normal Operating Procedures by providing detailed information on how to operate the aeroplane. It also describes some flight maneuvers and procedures which will be required for simulator
and flight training.
Special Procedures
Described herein are Procedures concerning Low Visibility, GPWS and TCAS Operation.
Normal Procedures and Checklists
The expanded Normal Procedures and Checklists for daily Operation.
2.0.2
General
2.0.2.1
Application of Normal Procedures
Normal Procedures are performed by ‘challenge and response’, ‘read and do’, or silent according to
Table 2.0-2.
2.0.2.2
Crew Co-ordination
Crew co-ordination is an essential part of every successful flight. It is the responsibility of each crew member to
be familiar with his/her responsibilities and execute them in a professional and timely manner. Each member of
the crew must also be familiar with responsibilities of other crew members.
2.0.2.3
Chain of Command
In order of priority:
1.
Pilot-in-command
2.
Second-in-command or copilot/First Officer
(2IC or F/O)
3.
Senior Cabin Crew Member
Cabin Crew Member
(CA 1)
(CA2 + CA3)
2.0.2.4
(PIC)
Pilot Duties
The inflight duties of the pilots are interchangeable. Therefore the terminology Pilot Flying (PF) and Pilot Not
Flying (PNF) will be used to distinguish pilot duties. When the First Officer (2IC) is the PF, the Commander
(PIC) assumes the PF duties until the aeroplane is lined up for Take-off and, once again, takes over PF duties
when the aeroplane has decelerated to 50 Knots, after landing.
2.0.2.5
Change of Pilot Control
The PF/PNF duties may be exchanged during flight. The pilot relinquishing PF duties will announce; "YOU
HAVE CONTROL". The pilot assuming control will announce; "I HAVE CONTROL".

NORMAL PROCEDURES
Communications
ATC Communications:
The PNF will normally handle all communications with ATC unless otherwise directed by the PF.
Flight Deck / Cabin Crew Communications:
The PF will normally handle all communications with the cabin crew.
For normal communication use the CALL button to contact the cabin crew. The Senior Cabin Crew Member will
come to the flight deck or respond on the interphone.
During emergency situations, standardized communication between the Pilots and the Cabin Crew Member(s)
is essential. The following is a list of the standard communications to be used during emergency operations.

Normal Checklists
2.0.3.1
Use of Checklists
2.0-3
[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011
The normal checklists are organized by phase of flight and assume completion of the previous checklist.
An un-shaded box separating procedural steps (i.e. START APPROVED), defines a logical break that allows
partial completion of the checklist until further action is appropriate.
When the required checklist has been completed, the PNF will announce the appropriate checklist complete,
e.g.: "AFTER TAKE-OFF CHECKLIST COMPLETE".
When the response to a particular checklist item is "as req’d" the actual response will be positive and the action
required will be stated, such as: "ON", "OFF", "CLOSED", etc.

NORMAL PROCEDURES
2.0.4
Auto Flight Control System (AFCS)
2.0.4.1
Flight Director
To reduce crew work load and improve safety, use of the Flight Director / Autopilot is recommended from initial
climb out to final approach. During normal operations the PF should select the Flight Guidance Controller
(FGC) to his or her side. Selected AFCS modes must be confirmed on the PFD’s.
When the PF controls the aeroplane manually, the PNF normally selects the AFCS modes as directed by the
PF.
2.0.4.2
Use of Flight Director
The Flight Director should be used for most phases of flight. When the Flight Director is being used, care must
be taken to ensure it is providing correct commands.
2.0.4.3
Autopilot
When the PF engages or disengages the Autopilot (AP) he or she should announce: "AP ENGAGED" or "AP
DISENGAGED".
When the Autopilot is engaged the PF should control all AFCS modes.
Minimum height for Autopilot engagement after take-off or go-around is 1000 ft AGL.
Select flight guidance modes as required.
AP pushbutton...........................................................................................................................................Press
Check AP advisory pointers illuminate and AP is displayed on PFD’s.
NOTES:
1. In the event of an engine failure disengage the autopilot.
Except for approach, the autopilot may be re-engaged following re-trimming.
2. If HSI transfer is selected, all flight guidance modes will disengage and the autopilot will
revert to basic lateral and pitch modes.
Re-select flight guidance modes as required following HSI transfer.
3. With the autopilot engaged, POWER and SPEED changes may require the pilot to manually re-trim the rudder. Trimming should be accomplished with TCS button pressed or autopilot disengaged.
4. If FD XXX (NAV or ADC) DATA INVLD message appears on PFD, select an alternative
flight guidance mode or press STBY on FGCP to clear the message.
5. With MS 4-126360 incorporated: To de-select altitude select mode, press and hold the ALT
SEL pushbutton for greater than 1 second.
2.0.4.4
Autopilot Operation in Turbulence
Disengage Autopilot in severe turbulence. The Autopilot is approved for normal operations in light or moderate
turbulence only.
2.0.4.5
Autopilot Approach
Flap should be extended to approach setting 5°, 10° or 15° before glide slope capture on a precision approach
or before commencing final descent to minimum descent altitude (MDA).
2.0.4.6
Altitude Select
Changes of selected altitude should be followed by selection of Altitude Select (ALT SEL) on the FGC (unless
the ALT SEL has already been selected). ALT SEL shall be visually confirmed by both pilots on the PFD’s.
2.0.5
NOTE:
2.0.5.1
Navigation Systems
VOR symbol may not always be visible on the navigation page of the MFD. With FMS off or
not installed, two pushes on the EFCP DATA button are required to return the VOR Navaid
symbol to the NAV page.
Flight Management System
For specific FMS operational information, please refer to the respective AFM Supplement and the FMS Operator’s Manual.

CHAPTER 2
2.0-5
NORMAL PROCEDURES
2.0.6
[Rev. 1] 21 NOV 2011
Standard Callouts
Safety demands that crew members remain aware of airplane position, altitude, and instrument indications
during flight.
One method of achieving this is to adopt a system of standard calls to reduce ambiguity and to minimize conversation during critical phases of flight, i.e. take-off, approach and landing.
It is recommended that crews refrain from all non-essential and distracting conversation below 10000 ft ASL.
Tables 2.0-4 to 2.0-7, outline a series of standard calls, which shall be used to enhance safety during VFR and
IFR operations.
The PNF shall make the appropriate call, based on instrument indications or observations for the condition outlined in the table and the PF shall verify and acknowledge the call.
If the PNF does not make the required callout, then the PF shall make it.

Exterior and Interior Inspection
2.1-1
[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011
Before each flight, an external inspection of the aeroplane is to be performed by the flight deck crew or maintenance personnel to verify it is acceptable for flight.
The exterior inspection has to include the following:
1. Remove main gear safety lock pins.
2. Disengage nosegear lock.
3. Check oxygen discharge indicating disc.
If door locking provisions are installed:
4. Remove airstair and baggage door external locking devices.
Upon entering the aeroplane:
5. Remove all internal locking devices from the forward, right hand, left hand mid-cabin emergency doors and
the right hand aft service door.
For originating flights, complete the flight deck preparation and "ORIGINATING BEFORE START" checklist.
On through flights, only the "BEFORE START" checklist items need to be accomplished. These items include
those systems which require switch repositioning, and items vital to safety of flight. The first crew member
entering the aeroplane will power up the aeroplane using the checklist appropriate to the power supply available.

APPROACH, LANDING PREPARATION AND BRIEFING
2.6.1
Approach Briefing
2.6-1
[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011
The Approach Briefing is a plan of action for the approach, landing and possible missed approach. Proper
planning will normally permit the Approach Briefing to be accomplished prior to entering busy terminal airspace.
NOTE:
Approaching destination, the crew shall re-evaluate the weather situation and recalculate the
required landing distance.
The Approach Briefing will be given by the PF and should consist of at least the following:
1. Terrain situation (MEA, MGA)
2. Type of approach/RWY in use
3. Radio/Nav set up
4. Minimum Sector Altitude
5. Initial Approach Altitude/Descent point
6. Runway condition/landing distance
7. Special aspects (e.g. taxi procedure, system malfunctions,...).
Following items shall be briefed “by heart”:
1. Final Altitude
2. MDA/Descent Altitude/Decision Height
3. Missed Approach Procedure including Missed Approach Point.
The approach speed is based on the minimum speed which can be flown with approach flap configuration
(VAPP = 1.23 VSR with approach flap). Landing speeds are based on the minimum speed which can be flown
with the landing flap configuration (VREF = 1.23 VSR with landing flap).
NOTE:
The solid bug is set to VREF and the outline bug is set to VGA.
The Approach Check should be initiated not less than 25 nautical miles prior to commencing the approach, or
through 10000 ft.
2.6.2

[Rev. 9] 28 FEB 2014
Crosswind Landing Technique
Crosswind landing is based on the steady state wing down / zero crab technique, i.e. approach and touch
down with upwind wing lowered, using rudder to align airplane with runway.
Following touch down hold nosewheel on runway with elevators and use lateral control to inhibit any upwind
wing lifting.
2.7.4
Normal Landing in Tailwinds between 10 and 20 kt
2.7.4.1
General
At the option of the operator, landings in tailwinds between 10 and 20 kts may be conducted in accordance with
the limitations, procedures and performance data contained in the respective chapters of this AOM and AFM
Supplement 3.
NOTE:
Maintain the appropriate VREF airspeed throughout the approach and the landing.
The landing flare angle will be less than that required for a normal, into wind landing.

OPERATION ON CONTAMINATED RUNWAYS
This section corresponds to Supplement 37 of the AFM.
2.9.1
General
The general information in Chapter 0 is applicable with the addition of the following:
a. This information has been prepared by the manufacturer and approved as guidance material to assist
operators in developing suitable guidance, recommendations or instructions for use by their flight crews
when operating on wet or contaminated runway surface conditions.
b. The data have been prepared using reasonable estimates of the effects of wet and contaminated runway conditions on the accelerating ground roll and the braking ground roll. The effects of actual conditions may differ from those used to establish the data.
c.
The performance information assumes any standing water, slush or loose snow to be of uniform depth
and density.
d. The level of safety is decreased when operating on contaminated runways and therefore every effort
should be made to ensure that the runway surface is cleared of any significant contaminant.
e. The provision of performance information for contaminated runways should not be taken as implying
that ground handling characteristics on these surfaces will be as good as can be achieved on dry or wet
runways, in particular, in crosswinds and when using reverse thrust.
2.9.1.1
Definitions
Runway Contaminated
by Standing Water,
Slush or Loose Snow
NOTE:
A runway is considered to be contaminated when more than 25% of the runway surface area (whether in isolated areas or not) within the required length and width
being used, is covered by standing water, slush or loose snow.
Runways with water depths, slush or loose snow less than 3 mm (0.125 in), may be
considered not contaminated provided braking is considered good.
Runway Contaminated
by Compacted Snow
A runway is considered to be contaminated when completely covered by snow
which has been compressed into a solid mass which resists further compression.
Runway Contaminated
by Wet Ice
A runway is considered to be contaminated when, due to the presence of wet ice,
the braking effectiveness is expected to be very low.
VGO*
The lowest decision speed from which a continued take-off is possible within the
take-off run and take-off distance required.
VSTOP*
The highest decision speed from which the aircraft can stop within the acceleratestop distance required.
NOTE:
Take-off Distance
* Under the JAR-OPS1 regulations only one single V1 value for the
rejected and continued take-off is permitted. This is why the data in
Sub-Chapter 4.1 only show Vgo/VR = 1 for take-off and VSTOP/VR =
1 for accelerate-stop.
The take-off distance on a contaminated runway is the longer of:
a. 115% of the distance from the start of the take-off roll to the point at which
the airplane attains a height of 35 feet above the take-off surface, with all
engines operating.
b. The distance from the start of the take.off roll to the point at which the airplane attains a height of at least 15 feet above the take-off surface, with critical engine failure such that the failure would be recognized at the Decision
Speed VGO.
Take-off Run
(cont’d on next page)
AOM DASH 8-Q400
The take-off run on a contaminated runway is equal to the take-off distance on contaminated runway.
CHAPTER 2
2.9-2
NORMAL PROCEDURES
[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011
Definitions (cont’d)
Accelerate-Stop
The accelerate-stop distance on a contaminated runway is the longer of:
a. Accelerate-stop distance with an engine failure at VEF as defined below:
i)
The distance necessary to accelerate the airplane from a standing start
to VEF with all engines operating plus:
ii)
The distance required to accelerate the airplane from VEF to VSTOP
assuming the critical engine fails at VEF plus;
iii) The distance required to come to a full stop from the point reached at
the end of the acceleration period described in paragraph a. ii) above
assuming that the pilot does not apply any means of retarding the airplane until that point is reached and that the critical engine is still inoperative, plus:
iv) A distance margin equal to 2.0 seconds at VSTOP
b. Accelerate-stop distance with all engines operating as defined below:
i)
The distance necessary to accelerate the airplane from a standing start
to VSTOP with all engines operating plus:
ii)
The distance required to come to a full stop from the point reached at
the end of the acceleration period described in paragraph b. i) above,
assuming that the pilot does not apply any means of retarding the airplane until that point is reached and that all engines are still operating,
plus:
iii) A distance margin equal t~ 2.0 seconds at VSTOP
WED
The water equivalent depth of contaminant = the depth of water producing an equivalent performance effect as that of contaminant of lower specific gravity. WED for
take-off is not based on contaminant depth x specific gravity and must be determined in accordance with Section 4.1.4.
For further definitions and performance data regarding take-off on wet and contaminated runways, refer to
chapter 4, Performance.
2.9.2
Limitations
The limitations in Chapter 1 are applicable with the addition of the following:
2.9.2.1
1.
Operations
Take-off with reduced power is prohibited on contaminated runways.
2.9.2.2
Operation From Runways Contaminated with Standing Water, Slush or Loose Snow
1.
Maximum operating altitude for take-off and landing is 6,000 ft ASL.
2.
The maximum permitted WED of contaminant is 15 mm (0.59 in).
3.
The maximum permitted depth of contaminant is 6 cm (2.4 in).
4.
For WED greater than 3 mm (0.125 in): selection of power levers aft of DISC is prohibited.
5.
The maximum crosswind component for take-off and landing is 14 kt.
2.9.2.3
1.
Operation From Runways Contaminated with Compacted Snow:
The maximum crosswind component for take-off and landing is 20 kt.

Performance Data
The performance data in Chapter 4 and compatible supplements are applicable with the addition of the following:
NOTE:
Compatible supplement performance penalties are cumulative.
NOTE:
Where applicable, the performance factor of the compatible supplement must be applied to the
calculated performance data in chapter 4 prior to applying corrections of this supplement.
2.9.4.1
NOTE:
Take-off Performance on a Contaminated Runway:
Tests in water of 19 mm (0.75 in) average depth have shown that there is no spray
impingement on engine intakes or tail surfaces at any speed up to lift-off, from either main or
nose wheels. Some spray from the nosewheel and propellers impinges on the lower surface of
the fuselage, nosewheel well, nacelles, and inboard wing and flap.

Airplane Contamination on the Ground - Frost, Ice or Snow
2.15-1
[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015
Air regulation stipulate that take-off is prohibited when frost, ice or snow is adhering to any critical surface of
the airplane.
This principle is referred to as “the clean airplane concept” and is essential to the maintenance of flight
safety.
Regardless of the de-icing and anti-icing procedures used, the only method of ensuring flight safety in icing
conditions is by inspecting critical airplane surfaces and ensuring that they are clean before take-off.
The PIC has the ultimate responsibility to determine whether or not the airplane is safe to fly.
Frost less than 3 mm in depth is permitted on the underside of the fuel tank area of the wing.
This poses no concern.
The frost accumulation will dissipate as of post engine start, due to heat transfer from the fuel tanks.
A thin layer of hoar frost on the upper surface of the fuselage is not considered to be critical and can remain on the
fuselage for take-off.
Provided all vents and ports are clear of the frost and it is possible to distinguish fuselage surface features (markings
and lines).

It is the responsibility of the end user to periodically check the Transport Canada website for
updates on HOT Guidelines.
Ground De-Icing / Anti-Icing
DE-ICING is a procedure by which frost, ice or snow is removed from the airplane by applying hot water or a
hot mixture of water and de-icing / anti-icing fluid.
De-icing using infrared energy is an alternative procedure for removing frozen precipitation.
It is accomplished through heat that breaks the bond of adhering frozen contamination.
De-icing with forced air (alone or with injected fluid) is used to remove most of the contamination from aircraft
surfaces.
It will reduce de-icing times and fluid quantities, but it will not provide a clean wing for take-off.
ANTI-ICING consists of the application of a mixture of an anti-icing fluid or a mixture of anti-icing fluid and
water to the airplane to protect against the accumulation and adherence of frost, ice or snow to airplane surfaces before the condition exists.
TYPE I FLUIDS are used for de-icing and anti-icing, but provide very limited anti-icing protection.
TYPE II FLUIDS are “thickened” and are designed to be deposited in a thicker film and to remain on the airplane surfaces until the time of take-off.
TYPE II fluids are used for de-icing (when heated) and anti-icing and provide greater protection than do TYPE I
fluids against frost, ice or snow formation in conditions conducive to airplane on the ground.
Because of its flow-off characteristics it is not considered suitable for airplane with rotation speeds < 100 kt.
TYPE III FLUIDS are a “thickened” fluid that has properties that lie between TYPES I and II.
Because of its flow-off characteristics it is considered acceptable for airplane with rotation speeds below 100 kt
TYPE IV FLUIDS are similar to TYPE II fluids with a marked increase in holdover time capabilities.
ONE-STEP DE-ICING / ANTI-ICING consists of the application full strength or water diluted de-icing / antiicing fluid, heated as necessary considering the ambient temperature and weather condition, to both remove
and protect the surfaces from frost, ice or snow adherence and accumulation.
TWO-STEP DE-ICING / ANTI-ICING consists of de-icing with hot water only or a hot mixture of water diluted
de-icing / anti-icing fluid, followed immediately by anti-icing with an overspray of anti-icing fluid.
Care must be taken not to allow the airplane surfaces to re-freeze between the de-icing and anti-icing processes.
To prevent re-freezing, the first mixture (de-icing) fluid concentration may have to be increased appropriate to
local conditions.
AOM DASH 8-Q400
CHAPTER 2
2.15-2
[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015
NOTE:
NORMAL PROCEDURES
When anti-icing with SAE Type II, III and IV anti-icing fluids, it is strongly recommended that
the operator use the two-step de-icing / anti-icing procedure, the first step with heated water,
and / or heated SAE Type I de-icing fluid.
HOLDOVER TIME is the estimated time which anti-icing fluid will prevent ice, snow and / or frost from forming
or accumulating on the treated surfaces of an airplane.
The protection time is dependent upon the weather conditions and fluid mixture selected and cannot be precisely determined for each application.
Guidelines have been published for HOT under varying atmospheric conditions, however, it must be emphasized that the best method to ensure a clean airplane is to inspect after treatment and just prior to take-off.
If any frost, ice or snow is adhering to a critical surface, re-treatment must be requested.
While in most operations de-icing / anti-icing of the airplane is supervised by the maintenance organization, the
following precautions are presented to familiarize flight crews with potential problem areas:
a. De-icing / anti-icing fluid concentration must be adjusted for OAT before application to the airplane.
To determine the mixture percentage of de-icing / anti-icing fluid to water that should be used at a
given temperature, refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for the particular fluid;
b. It is strongly recommended Not to operate the Engines and APU during the de-icing / anti-icing procedure.
If it is necessary to have the engines running for operational reasons, select bleed air off to avoid sending fumes into the cabin.
c.
Do Not spray de-icing / anti-icing fluid directly into Engine or APU Inlets, Exhausts, Probe Inlets,
Scoops, Vents, Drains or other areas where the fluids may pool.
d. Do Not direct a solid stream of fluid perpendicular to airplane surfaces as a high pressure stream of
fluid can damage airplane surfaces.
Also, Do Not spray fluid directly on flight compartment windows and Do Not spray hot fluid directly on
cold windows;
e. Do Not force ice and snow into openings around flight control surfaces where it may re-freeze later;
f.
Both right and left sides of the wing and horizontal stabilizer must receive the same thorough de-icing /
anti-icing treatment.
g. When using infrared energy to de-ice, wet surfaces require an application of heated de-icing fluids to
preclude refreezing after removal of infrared energy source.
h. When using infrared energy other than to remove frost or leading edge ice and when OAT is at or
below 0°C (32°F), an additional treatment with hot de-icing fluid shall be preformed within the infrared
de-icing facility to prevent re-freezing of water, which may remain in hidden areas.
i.
If the aircraft requires re-de-icing and the de-icing / anti-icing fluids had been applied before flight, conventional de-icing / anti-icing with fluids shall be preformed before entering the infrared de-icing facility.
j.
The use of forced air alone to remove wet snow, especially during snowfall and cold outside air, is not
a feasible alternative for either a two-step de-icing or a one-step de-icing procedure.
k.
The forced air and fluid combination to remove wet snow will produce a clean wing but the time to refreeze is very short.
Following de-icing / anti-icing, it is the PIC who is ultimately responsible to see that the airplane is free of snow,
ice and frost; that pitot heads, static ports, fuel tank vents, air conditioning inlets / exits and landing gear doors
are clear of snow, ice and slush.
“Clear Ice”, which is difficult to detect, can be present below the layer of water and fluid remaining on the surface of the airplane and may require inspection by touch.
If any doubt remains as to the aerodynamic readiness of airplane, request re-treatment.
Residual fluid on the airplane following de-icing / anti-icing treatment may result in detrimental effects on handling and performance.
The magnitude of these effects, with the original de-icing fluid formulations (TYPE I fluids), was generally not
an operational problem.
With the advent of TYPE II, TYPE III and TYPE IV fluids, this is no longer true.
In general, the cruise, descent, approach and landing phases of flight are not affected by the use of de-icing or
anti-icing fluids.
When the airplane has been sprayed with de-icing and / or anti-icing fluids, the take-off procedures, distances
and reference speeds shall be adjusted as per Sub-Chapter 4.7.

2.15.3.2
Flap Configuration During Anti-Icing / De-Icing Procedures
Two possible options are: delaying flap deployment until just prior to take-off or deploying the flaps prior to deicing / anti-icing so that the surfaces under these flaps are treated.
With the second option, the holdover time and allowance time will be reduced due to the steeper angles of the
flap in the deployed configuration.
In this situation, it is acceptable to use the 90% adjusted holdover / allowance times.
Delaying the flap deployment may be the preferred option for optimum protection from ice buildup.
If it is necessary to remove contamination from the flaps, it may be best to deploy the flaps for de-icing and
anti-icing and then retract them prior to taxi.

NOTE:
2.15.3.4
Following the application of de-icing or anti-icing fluids, it is strongly recommended that the
pilot conduct a slow control throw of the elevator and aileron / spoiler control circuits.
Move the control column and control wheel in both directions to the control stops.
Should a restriction of the controls or an unusual control force be noted, a take-off must not be
conducted until the affected control is inspected for ice contamination and if required, another
application of de-icing or anti-icing fluid is applied.

glycol when diluted 50 / 50 or more with water may be used with any flap setting over the fluid manufacturer’s recommended temperature ranges for these mixtures.
No correction to the take-off distances and speeds is needed.
In all cases de-icing / anti-icing fluids do not affect the following phases of flight:
• Cruise
• Descent
• Approach
• Landing
2.15.4.1
Holdover Times (HOT)
Holdover Time is the estimated time which anti-icing fluid will prevent ice, snow and / or frost from forming or
collecting on the treated surfaces of the airplane.
Factors that reduce HOT:
• Where conditions are worse than those given in the tables times may be reduced to the point of suspension of operations,
• High wind velocity
• Jet blast
• Aircraft skin temperature significantly lower than OAT
• Moisture content of snow, i.e. large snowflakes may produce higher than expected precipitation rates

[Rev. 18] 21 NOV 2016
The definition of Lowest Operational Use Temperature (LOUT) for a given fluid is the higher (warmer) of:
- the lowest temperature at which the fluid meets the aerodynamic acceptance test (according to AS 5900)
for a given type of aircraft (high or low speed), or
- the actual freezing point of the fluid plus its freezing point buffer of:
→ 10°C (18°F) - for a Type I fluid, or
→ 7°C (13°F) - for a Type II, III or IV fluid.
For applicable values refer to the fluid manufacturer’s documentation.
NOTE:
Fluid manufacturers state that a fluid must not be used when the Outside Air Temperature
(OAT) or skin temperature is below the LOUT of the fluid

To be applied before first step fluid freezes, typically within 3 min.
(This time may be higher than 3 min in some conditions, but potentially lower in heavy precipitation or
colder temperatures.
If necessary, the second step shall be applied area by area.)
NOTES:
•
This table is applicable for the use of Type I HOT Guidelines in all conditions including active frost.
If HOT are not required, a temperature of 60°C (140°F) at the nozzle is desirable.
•
If HOT are required, the temperature of water or fluid / water mixtures shall be at least 60°C (140°F) at the
nozzle.
Upper temperature limit shall not exceed fluid and aircraft manufacturers’ recommendations.
•
To use Type I HOT Guidelines in all conditions including active frost, an additional minimum of
1 L/m2 (~ 2 gal/100 ft2) of heated Type I fluid mixture must be applied to the surfaces after all frozen contamination is removed.
This application is necessary to heat the surfaces, as heat contributes significantly to the Type I fluid HOT.
The required protection can be provided using a 1-step method by applying more fluid than is strictly
needed to just remove all of the frozen contamination (the same additional amount stated above is
required).
•
The LOUT for a given Type I fluid is the higher (warmer) of:
a) The lowest temperature at which the fluid meets the aerodynamic acceptance test for a given
aircraft type, or
b) The actual freezing point of the fluid plus its freezing point buffer of 10°C (18°F)
CAUTION: Wing skin temperatures may differ and in some cases may be lower than OAT;
a stronger mix (more glycol) may be needed under these conditions.

1
Fluids must not be used at temperatures below their LOUT.
Consider the use of Type I when Type III fluid cannot be used (see Sub-Chapter 2.15.4.4).
The LOUT for a given Type III fluid is the higher (warmer) of:
a) The lowest temperature at which the fluid meets the aerodynamic acceptance test for a given aircraft
type;
b) The actual freezing point of the fluid plus its freezing point buffer of 7°C (13°F); or
c) For diluted Type III fluid, the coldest temperature for which holdover times are published.
2
To be applied before first step fluid freezes, typically within 3 min.
(This time may be longer than 3 min in some conditions, but potentially shorter in heavy precipitation, in
colder temperatures or for critical surfaces constructed of composite materials.
If necessary, the second step shall be applied area by area.)
3
For heated fluids, a fluid temperature not less than 60°C (140°F) at the nozzle is desirable.
4
One-step procedure with unheated Type III fluid is only possible on a clean aircraft.
If de-icing is required, a two-step procedure must be used.
NOTES:
•
Upper temperature limit shall not exceed fluid and aircraft manufactures’ recommendations.
CAUTIONS:
•
Wing skin temperatures may differ and in some cases may be lower than OAT;
a stronger mix (more glycol) may be needed under these conditions.
•
Whenever frost or ice occurs on the lower surface of the wing in the area of the fuel tank, indicating
a cold soaked wing, the 50 / 50 dilutions of Type III should not be used for the anti-icing step
because fluid freezing may occur.
•
An insufficient amount of anti-icing fluid may cause a substantial loss of HOT.
This is particularly true when using a Type I fluid mixture for the first step in a two-step procedure.

inspection, is the shorter time within the applicable HOT table cell.
•
The time of protection will be shortened in heavy weather conditions, heavy precipitation rates or
high moisture content.
High wind velocity or jet blast may reduce HOT.
HOT may be reduced when aircraft skin temperature is lower than OAT.
•
Fluids used during ground de-icing / anti-icing do not provide in-flight icing protection.

Fluids must not be used at temperatures below their LOUT.
Consideration to be given to the use of Type I / III when Type II / IV fluid cannot be used due to LOUT limitations.
The LOUT for a given Type II / IV fluid is the higher (warmer) of:
a) The lowest temperature at which the fluid meets the aerodynamic acceptance test for a given aircraft
type;
b) The actual freezing point of the fluid plus its freezing point buffer of 7°C (13°F); or
c) For diluted Type II / IV fluid, the coldest temperature for which holdover times are published.
2
To be applied before first step fluid freezes, typically within 3 min.
(This time may be higher than 3 min in some conditions, but potentially lower in heavy precipitation or
colder temperatures.
If necessary, the second step shall be applied area by area.)
3
Clean aircraft may be anti-iced with unheated fluid.
NOTES:
•
For heated fluids, a fluid temperature not less than 60°C (140°F) at the nozzle is desirable.
•
Upper temperature limit shall not exceed fluid and aircraft manufactures’ recommendations.
CAUTIONS:
•
Wing skin temperatures may differ and in some cases may be lower than OAT;
a stronger mix (more glycol) may be needed under these conditions.
•
Whenever frost or ice occurs on the lower surface of the wing in the area of the fuel tank, indicating
a cold soaked wing, the 50 / 50 dilutions of Type II or IV shall not be used for the anti-icing step
because fluid freezing may occur.
•
An insufficient amount of anti-icing fluid may cause a substantial loss of HOT.
This is particularly true when using a Type I fluid mixture for the first step in a two-step procedure.

HOW TO READ THE TABLE
This visibility table applies to all fluid Types I, II, III and IV.
Assume that the daytime visibility in snowfall is 1.6 km (1 SM) and the temperature is - 7°C (19°F).
Based on these conditions, the snowfall intensity is light.

CHAPTER 2
NORMAL PROCEDURES

[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015
Operating in Icing Conditions
ICING CONDITIONS exist when:
•
the Static Air Temperature (SAT) on the ground and for take-off is 10°C (50°F) or below, or
•
the SAT in flight is 5°C (41°F) or below, and
•
visible moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of one statute mile or less, rain,
snow, sleet or ice crystals).
•
ice accretion on aerodynamic surfaces is not considered to exist at temperatures of - 40°C or below.
Icing Conditions also exist when:
•
the SAT on the ground and for take-off is 10°C or below when operating on ramps, taxiways or runways
where surface snow, ice, standing water or slush may be ingested by the engines or freeze on engines,
nacelles or engine sensor probes.
As with any meteorological hazard, the most effective procedure is to stay away from the known areas
involved.
WARNING:
SEVERE ICING CONDITIONS:
Flight into freezing rain, freezing drizzle or mixed icing conditions (super-cooled liquid water and ice
crystals) may result in ice build-up on protected surfaces, exceeding the capability of the ice protection system or may result in ice forming aft of the protected surfaces.
This ice may not be shed using the ice protection systems and may seriously degrade the performance
and controllability of the airplane.
Severe icing conditions may be encountered during flight in visible rain with the SAT below 0°C ambient temperature and specifically with droplets that are large enough to splash or splatter on impact.
Severe icing may be identified by unusually extensive ice accreted on the airframe in areas not normally observed to collect ice or ice is accreted on the side windows of the flight compartment aft of the
leading edge.
An Accumulation of ice on lifting surfaces of the airplane may change the stall characteristics, stall
speed or warning margin provided by the stall warning system.
The presence of ice on the airframe increases airplane drag and mass.
Ice on the propellers decreases their efficiency and thus the thrust available from the engines.
Ice build-up on engine probes can result in erroneous engine FADEC operation or flight compartment
indications.
Finally, ice ingestion by the engine or inlet flow distortions due to ice build-up on the intakes, can
cause engine surging or flameouts.
To provide the largest safety margin possible for the airplane encountering icing conditions, it is necessary to operate the de-icing / anti-icing systems and fly the airplane as per the procedures of Chapter 2 of this AOM.
Details of performance penalties in icing condition are provided in Chapter 4.
Elaboration on the AOM procedures is provided below.
AOM DASH 8-Q400
CHAPTER 2
2.16-2
[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015
2.16.1
NORMAL PROCEDURES
Taxi
Ensure the following anti-ice systems are selected
PITOT STATIC STBY, 1 & 2 ...................................................................................................................... ON
ENG INTAKE BYPASS DOORS ................................................................................................ OPEN / HTR
During taxi on slush covered surfaces, where possible, minimize taxi speeds to below 10 kt.
Faster taxi speeds increase the chance of slush / contaminate entering the nose wheel bay.
Where possible, avoid taxiing through deep slush.
Avoid using excessive power to taxi airplane as this may tend to displace any anti-icing fluid applied.
Also, avoid using reverse power on snow or slush covered runways, taxiways or ramps unless absolutely necessary, as snow, slush or water can become airborne and adhere to wing surfaces.
Allow a greater than normal distance between airplane to account for poor braking and turning performance on
slippery surfaces.
This will also reduce the possibility of snow or slush being blown back into the airplane or hot exhaust gases
melting snow on your airplane from which re-freezing may occur.
2.16.2
Take-Off
Before take-off into icing conditions, select all anti-ice systems, except airframe de-ice, as follows:
ENG INTAKE BYPASS DOORS ................................................................................................ OPEN / HTR
PROP TMR ............................................................................................................................................... ON
DEICE PRESS ................................................................................................................... Check 18 ± 3 psi
WINDSHIELD HEAT ........................................................................................................................... NORM
Selection of the REF SPEEDS switch raises the stall warning threshold, therefore, airspeed must be
INCREASED to maintain adequate margin over stall warning following take-off and prior to selection of the
switch to ON at 400 ft AGL.
Refer to Sub-Chapter 4.7 of the AOM for the appropriate values.
Failure to increase speed may result in stall warning.
Before moving into position, re-check that the airplane is free of ice, snow or frost.
Before brake release, check for stable engine operation.
After setting take-off power, check to see that flight compartment indicators are normal.
NOTE:
The following performance implications must be considered for take-offs into icing conditions:
-
The AC generator electrical demand by the anti-icing systems takes power away from the propeller gear
box, reducing net engine power available to the airplane.
This results in increased take-off field lengths and reduced climb gradients and MAT limits.
-
In addition to the reduction in net engine power due to electrical loads, the increased take-off speeds
above 400 ft due to stall warning margins also degrade airplane performance.
The combination of these factors results in decreased Final Take-off Climb gradients and increased 3rd
segment distances.
For take-off on slush covered surfaces, accelerate through 40 kt IAS as rapidly as possible
NOTE:
Following ground manoeuvering on taxiways and runways contaminated with slush, where the
taxi and take-off precautions, as described in Sub-Chapters 3.3.6.1 and 3.3.6.2, were not
followed and Nose Wheel Bay contamination is suspected, consider cycling the landing gear a
minimum of 2 times after take-off.

2.16.3
2.16-3
[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015
Enroute, Climb, Cruise and Descent
Before entering icing conditions or when “ICE DETECTED” message appears on the ED select all anti-ice systems and REF SPEEDS to INCR.
In Icing Conditions monitor accumulation of ice on the airframe.
Operate the airframe de-ice system in FAST or SLOW depending on the rate of accumulation.
Do not wait for ice to build up before selecting airframe de-ice.
Climb no slower than Enroute Climb Speed (VCLIMB) + 20 KIAS and, cruise and descend no slower than Flap
1.23 VS + 25 KIAS to account for the increase in stall speed of the airplane with ice accumulated on the boot
surfaces between cycles and on unprotected surfaces.
These speed increments must be added whenever the REF SPEEDS switch is selected, regardless of whether
or not ice has actually accumulated on the airplane.
Monitor airplane climb rate and airspeed closely.
Be prepared to increase propeller RPM and engine power if a significant loss of performance is noted.
By acting early in a significant icing encounter, the ultimate performance loss may be minimized and if conditions are sufficiently severe to require a change in flight plan, the decision can be made before sustaining an
unacceptable decrease in airplane performance.
Note that a small weight and drag penalty on the airplane, due to accumulated ice on the airframe, combined
with decreased net engine power due to electrical loads and the increased climb speed result in a reduction in
Enroute Climb Gradient and One Engine Inoperative Climb Ceiling.
After flight in icing conditions leave the airframe de-ice system operating.
Monitor the left and right wing leading edges and wing tips.
The airplane is not considered to be aerodynamically clean until all ice is removed from the visible leading
edges and wing tips.
Once ice is no longer visible deselect de-icing and anti-icing systems and select the REF SPEEDS switch OFF
2.16.4
Holding and Approach
Before entering the hold or commencing approach, re-confirm all anti-icing systems are selected.
The AIRFRAME selector must be selected to FAST for the entire hold, approach and landing.
When holding in icing conditions, the landing gear must be retracted and flaps at Flap 0° setting.
Hold at an airspeed no slower than 190 KIAS.
The increased airspeed ensures an adequate airspeed margin above stall speed and the increased airspeed
and Flap 0° configuration decrease the angle of attack on the wing, maximizing the efficiency of the boot deicing system.
Prior to commencing approach, revised approach, landing and go-around speeds must be calculated.
Refer to Chapter 4 of the AOM for the appropriate values.
Again, all increases account for actual stalling speeds with ice on protected surfaces of the airplane and raised
stall warning thresholds.
Accumulated ice on the airframe extracts a small mass penalty on the airplane and combined with the
increased approach and landing speeds, result in an increase in Landing Field Lengths and Brake Energies.
The mass penalty on the airplane, as well as decreased net engine power due to electrical loads, combined
with the increased go-around speed result in a reduction in Landing MAT limits and Approach and Balked
Landing Climb gradients.

2.16.5
NORMAL PROCEDURES
Landing
The airplane should be flown to a firm touchdown at the aiming point.
Immediately after main wheel touchdown, retard the Power Levers to DISC and lower the nose wheel to the
runway to enhance directional control. Apply anti-skid brakes as required.
On landing on slush covered surfaces, decelerate through 40 kt IAS to taxi speed 10 kt, as rapidly as possible.
Let the anti-skid system do its work. Do Not pump the brake pedals.
The anti-skid system will monitor the onset of tire skidding and modulate brake pressures to achieve maximum
braking.
Avoid the use of reverse thrust on icy or slippery runways.
If reverse thrust is used in a crosswind, be prepared for a possible down-wind drift on slippery runways.
To correct back to the runway centerline, advance the Power Levers toward Flight Idle and reduce braking.
After regaining directional control, increase braking and select DISC.
Do Not select reverse thrust unless required.
If the Water Equivalent Depth (WED) of contaminant on the runway surface is greater than 3 mm (0.125 in),
selection of Power Levers aft of DISC is prohibited to avoid ingesting contaminant into the engines and suffering a possible flame-out.
Do Not attempt to turn off the runway until speed has been reduced to a manageable level.
2.16.6
Parking
2.16.6.1
Cold Weather Parking
1.
Remove the snow, slush, or ice from the area where you will park the airplane.

NON-NORMAL, SPECIAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL PROCEDURES
3.0.1
Introduction
3.0.1.1
General Use of Expanded Emergency and Abnormal Procedures (Non-Normal) Checklists
The Expanded Emergency and Abnormal Procedures (Non-Normal) checklists are intended to be used in conjunction with the QRH Abnormal Checklist and the AFM.
Each non-normal situation should be dealt with in the following sequence:
1.
Memory items, enclosed in a BOX;
2.
Checklist items specific to the malfunction;
3.
Warnings, Cautions and Notes (lost services, etc.); and
4.
Landing Precautions.
This information is specific to the malfunction and is used to supplement the normal operations of the airplane. The landing precautions must be reviewed as part of the approach briefing.
Following completion of the appropriate Non-Normal Checklist, the Normal Checklist will be used giving due
regard to those items modified by the abnormality for the remainder of the flight.
NOTE:
For failures not addressed in the Non-Normal Checklist, refer to the AFM.
− The statement “Land immediately at the nearest suitable airport” is defined as:
Land at the nearest airport that offers sufficient landing distance available and if required, emergency
services to support the emergency or abnormality.
− The statement “Land at the nearest suitable airport” is defined as:
The airplane may continue to the destination airport or the nearest airport where maintenance services are
available.
− The statement “Maintenance action required prior to next flight” is defined as:
“Next Flight” is referring to the immediate or imminent take-off after discovery.
3.0.1.2
Crew Coordination during Emergencies
In the event of a non-normal situation, the primary objective of the flight crew is to control the airplane.
The crew will assess the problem, when vertical and lateral flight path control is established and ground contact
is no longer a threat.
Once the nature of the problem has been established, the PF will call for the appropriate memory items if applicable.

LANDING GEAR EXTENDED:
Landing Considerations:
If the available surface is appropriate:
- Extend landing gear using ALTERNATE LANDING GEAR EXTENSION procedure (Sub-Chapter 3.1.11.1).
Allow sufficient time for alternate gear extension.
- Extending landing gear will steepen glide angle and decrease glide distance.
- Maintain 1.23 VSR until immediately prior to flare.
- Commence flare to achieve zero vertical velocity immediately prior to ground contact.
- Do Not exceed 6° nose up during flare.
- Touch down with minimum speed and rate of descent without stalling.
After touchdown:
BATTERY MASTER .................................................................................................................................... OFF
Pull out the BATTERY MASTER switch and set to OFF.
EMERG Brake .................................................................................................................. Apply Intermittently
Use the EMERGENCY / PARKING LEVER to stop the airplane.
When airplane comes to a stop:
•
Evacuate airplane.
After propellers have stopped, the commander will start the evacuation by using the PA to shout the command
“EVACUATE, EVACUATE, EVACUATE” (LEFT or RIGHT SIDE, if one side is blocked).
The first officer will leave the flight compartment and help with the evacuation.
LANDING GEAR RETRACTED:
Landing Considerations:
- Maintain 1.23 VSR until immediately prior to flare.
- Commence flare to achieve zero vertical velocity immediately prior to ground contact.
- Do Not exceed 5° nose-up during flare.
- Touch down with minimum speed and rate of descent without stalling.

FORCED LANDING (Both Engines Inoperative) (cont’d)
When airplane comes to a stop:
BATTERY MASTER .................................................................................................................................... OFF
Pull out the BATTERY MASTER switch and set to OFF.
• Evacuate airplane.
After propellers have stopped, the commander will start the evacuation by using the PA to shout the command
“EVACUATE, EVACUATE, EVACUATE” (LEFT or RIGHT SIDE, if one side is blocked.)
The first officer will leave the flight compartment and help with the evacuation.
DITCHING:
Landing Considerations:
- Do Not select landing gear down.
- In rolling swell surface conditions attempt to ditch along and parallel to the crests as much into wind as swell
line permits. In other water surface conditions land into wind.
- Maintain 1.23 VSR until immediately prior to flare.
- Commence flare to achieve zero vertical velocity immediately prior to water contact.
- Maintain pitch attitude of 10° nose-up.
- Touch down with minimum speed and minimum rate of descent without stalling.
- A transient nose-up pitching motion may result following touchdown.
Over-correction of this tendency could result in porpoising or nosing in.
After water contact:
BATTERY MASTER .................................................................................................................................... OFF
Pull out the BATTERY MASTER switch and set to OFF.
When airplane comes to a stop:
• Evacuate airplane.
After propellers have stopped, the commander will start the evacuation by using the PA to shout the command
“EVACUATE, EVACUATE, EVACUATE” (LEFT or RIGHT SIDE, if one side is blocked.)
The first officer will leave the flight compartment and help with the evacuation.
NOTE:
After the completion of ditching run, the airplane will float with one wing in the water.
The upper portion of the right forward emergency exit and / or the airstair door shall be used
for evacuation.
The airstair door ditching dam must be in place prior to opening the door.
WARNING: Do Not open the Aft Doors or the lower portion of the right Forward Emergency Exit.

3.1.5.3
DITCHING
Preparations:
•
•
•
Broadcast emergency and distress signals.
Alert cabin crew to review ditching procedures with passengers.
Deploy ditching dam at airstair door and configure forward right hand exit for ditching.
NOTE:
•
[with Options - CR 825 CH 03163 and CR 825 CH 03200 Not Incorporated]:
Configuring the forward right-hand emergency exit for ditching may require the aircraft to be
depressurized to reduce the force on the lower exit door handle.
Check security of cargo and baggage and restrain if necessary.

DITCHING (cont’d)
Operational Conditions:
The 2 factors which bear most directly upon a successful ditching are airplane ground speed and the water
surface condition.
Under all circumstances the airplane should be brought onto the water surface as gently as possible.
In rolling swell surface conditions, the generally recommended technique is to ditch along and parallel to the
crest of a swell, as much into wind as the swell line permits. In all other conditions land into wind.

NOTES:
Power should be reduced gradually to achieve FLIGHT IDLE at or just prior to touchdown.
To decrease the landing descent rate and not exceed a pitch attitude of 6° when the landing
descent rate is higher than desired, power will be required in the landing flare through to touchdown.
To decrease the landing descent rate at airport altitudes greater than 5000 ft, it may be necessary to maintain power in the landing flare through to touchdown.
High landing speeds, due to this abnormal procedure, may result in Brake Kinetic Energy limits
being exceeded.
The nosewheel should be promptly brought into contact with the runway following mainwheel

3.2.1
GROUND FAILURES / ABORTED TAKE-OFF
3.2-1
[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015
Ground failures are defined as any malfunction that occurs on the ground prior to V1 or after touchdown.
In the event of a ground failure, regardless of whether it happens while at the gate, taxiing or during take-off,
the primary objective of the crew is to stop the airplane, assess the problem, take the appropriate action and
evacuate if required.
A take-off shall be aborted for any Caution or Warning light prior to V1.
There are many reasons other than Caution or Warning lights for discontinuing a take-off.
It is therefore, left to the discretion of the PIC as to what additional situations demand an aborted take-off.
At V1 or above, the take-off will be continued regardless of the malfunction.
If a rejected take-off becomes necessary the call “ABORT” will be made by either pilot.
If the PF is in the right seat, the left seat pilot will normally assume control at approximately 50 kt.
The PNF (right seat) will advise ATC of the abort and the crew will then assess the situation.
If the reason for the abort is fire or smoke, the PF will set the parking brake and complete the memory items for
shutdown and evacuation.
The PNF will advise ATC of the problem, request emergency equipment, state the number of persons on board
and quantity of fuel.
Table 3.2-1
Ground Failures / Aborted Take-Off

EVACUATION
3.2.2.1
Catastrophic Accident
3.2-3
[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015
If a catastrophic accident occurs which precludes any formal preparation or announcements each crew member should immediately initiate an evacuation.
When initiating an evacuation communicate this using the following shouted command / PA:
“EVACUATE, EVACUATE, EVACUATE”
(“... SIDE”, if required to restrict evacuation to that side of the airplane.)
This notifies other crew members and your passengers that you are initiating an evacuation.
3.2.2.2
Non-Catastrophic Accident
At any time the airplane comes to a stop following a planned or unplanned emergency landing that is not catastrophic, the Cabin Crew Member(s) will wait for engine shut down plus 15 s.
If there is no communication from the flight compartment by this point the:
•
Senior Cabin Crew Member will attempt to call the flight compartment using the “EMER” call button on the
Interphone.
If there is no response, she / he will attempt to enter the flight compartment.
If all communication with the flight compartment fails, the Senior Cabin Crew Member will initiate evacuation.
•
Cabin Crew Member(s) will maintain control in the cabin and wait for direction from the flight compartment or the
Senior Cabin Crew Member.
If this is not possible, the Cabin Crew Member(s) will initiate evacuation.
3.2.3
Blocked Exit Procedure
If during the assessment of an exit it is determined that the exit is unsafe or unusable then the following procedure should be used:
• Have 2 passengers hold people back while you assess the exit opposite (e.g. “you 2 hold people back”);
• If this exit is also unusable then redirect passengers to operable exits - elevate yourself, cross arms in an X
in front of you and shout the problem (e.g. “blocked exit, fire, go that way”).

CREW INCAPACITATION
3.2.4.1
Pilot Incapacitation
Incapacitation occurs in many forms ranging from sudden death to subtle, partial loss of mental or physical performance.
Subtle incapacitation is the most dangerous and is the most common type encountered.
One of the keys to early and effective recognition of pilot incapacitation is the strict adherence to standard
operating procedures, call-outs and flight profiles.
Suspicion of some degree of incapacitation should be considered when a crew member does not respond to
verbal communication associated with a significant departure from a standardized procedure or profile.
Failure of that crew member to respond to a 2nd request or challenge is cause for immediate action on the part
of the challenging crew member.
Whenever the PNF advises the PF of a deviation from the intended flight profile, the PF shall take immediate
action and announce, “CORRECTING”.
If the PF does not respond immediately, the PNF shall call the deviation a 2nd time, and if there is still no
response from the PF, the PNF shall assume pilot incapacitation, assume immediate control of the airplane
and announce, “I HAVE CONTROL”.
If carrying additional crew members i.e. Cabin Crew Member(s), call for their assistance in securing the incapacitated pilot away from the controls and to administer first aid as necessary.

In-flight failures are defined as any malfunction that occurs at or above V1 and prior to touch down.
During an in-flight failure the primary responsibility of the crew is to control the airplane.
Checklists must not be called for until the airplane is under full control and in a steady state of flight.
If a failure occurs at or above V1 and prior to flap retraction (3rd segment), the crew will not action any memory
items or checklist until the flaps are retracted.
In an extreme situation (such as engine failure during a GA), the PIC may elect to action the checklist memory
items prior to reaching 3rd segment (prior to flap retraction).
In any event, no action will be taken until the airplane is under full control and in a steady state of flight.
In the event of an in-flight failure, the crew will assess the problem.
Once the nature of the problem has been established, the PF will call for the appropriate memory items if applicable, e.g. “SHUTDOWN ENGINE NUMBER 2".
The PNF actions the memory items which are confirmed by the PF (Challenge and Response).
When the memory items are complete, the PF will at his discretion (but not less than 1000 ft above the airport
elevation), call for the appropriate non-normal checklist.
The PNF actions the checklist items using the Read and Do method.
Once the checklist has been completed, the crew will advise ATC of the problem and declare an emergency if
applicable.
The PIC will advise the Cabin Crew of the nature of the problem and the intentions of the flight crew.

FLAPLESS APPROACH and LANDING
During flapless approaches, fly a normal rectangular traffic pattern, but ensure that there is enough time / distance on final approach to stabilize in the flapless configuration.
The nose of the airplane will be higher than normal and the power setting will be lower than normal.
The GPWS flap override switch should be depressed to inhibit all flap warning signals.
The key to a successful flapless landing is to establish VREF for flaps 0° as soon as possible on final approach.
Care should be exercised not to under-shoot the runway as there might be a tendency to “flattern out” the
approach angle when in the flapless configuration.
Make adjustments quickly and precisely.
This should obviate the necessity to use large attitude and power changes especially on short final.
Power should be reduced gradually to achieve FLIGHT IDLE at or just prior to touchdown.
The POWER levers should be moved from FLIGHT IDLE into discing without delay.
Reverse may be used as required to reduce stopping distance.
The “flapless landing” checklist should be completed before execution of the normal approach and landing
checklists.
CAUTION: Pitch attitude > 6° in the landing flare may cause the fuselage to contact the RWY.
CAUTION: Do Not select POWER levers below FLIGHT IDLE
until indicated airspeed is below 150 kt IAS.
NOTE:
The nosewheel should be promptly brought into contact with the ground following mainwheel

Smoke
Smoke or fire within the airplane can quickly develop into a serious and life threatening situation.
Smoke can be carried into the fuselage via the air conditioning and pressurization system, or it can be generated within the airplane by overheated or burning electrical equipment or wiring.
It can also result from combustion within the cargo / baggage compartment, the cabin and the lavatory and galley areas.
Of immediate importance, upon detection of any smoke on the flight compartment, is PROTECTION of the
flight crew.
The appropriate smoke / fire procedures can then be carried out, the airplane descended to a safe altitude for
protection of the passengers and positioned for an immediate landing at the nearest suitable airport.
Smoke / fire procedures are addressed in the QRH under 2 basic headings:
- Known source of fire or smoke

Depressurization
Other than setting the altitude of the destination airfield on the cabin controller, pressurization occurs automatically and normally requires minimal crew involvement.
If the automatic features of the controller fail, cabin pressure can be controlled manually.
In the event of cabin depressurization or the inability to maintain adequate pressurization, the airplane should
be descended to below 14000 ft or the Minimum Enroute Altitude, whichever is higher.
When controlling the cabin pressure manually, do not exceed maximum cabin differential pressure stated on
the Cabin Altitude Differential placard.
A rapid decompression can result from loss of integrity of the pressure hull due to birdstrike, loss of a window,
sudden failure of a door seal, or other structural damage.
As with the case of smoke on the flight compartment, the prime consideration of the flight crew is self-protection, so the airplane can be flown safely to a lower altitude to protect the passengers.

Emergency Descent
An Emergency Descent, if required, is normally carried out at VMO.
If the structural integrity of the airplane is in doubt, however, limit the descent airspeed as much as possible
and avoid high maneuvering loads. Moving the condition levers to MAX increases drag in order that the
descent to lower altitude may be done in a timely fashion.

OVERWEIGHT LANDING
If an immediate landing is required following take-offs at a mass / weight in excess of maximum landing mass /
weight, the following considerations apply:
1) Approach and landing speeds will be higher for a given flap setting as well as brake energy and landing
distance increased and MAT / WAT limit decreased.
Approach and landing flap selection may be determined by landing MAT / WAT considerations well as
available landing distance or brake energy.
2) Establish VREF as soon as possible on final approach.
Avoid the necessity to use large attitude and power changes especially on short final.
3) Note that airplane sink rate will be higher than normal on approach.
4) Adjust flare to reduce sink rate to normal values prior to touchdown.
Power may be required in the landing flare through to touchdown to decrease the landing descent rate.
5) After touchdown, the POWER levers should be moved from FLIGHT IDLE into discing without delay and
the nosewheel lowered to the runway.
Reverse may be used as required to reduce stopping distance.
NOTE:
Landing speeds, MAT / WAT limits, Landing Climb data, Landing Distance and Brake Energy
may be determined using the AOM tables for over-weight landing conditions.

Do Not change gear or flap configuration until aircraft is clear of terrain.
Optimum aircraft performance (best angle of climb) occurs near 1.13 VS for the aircraft configuration, therefore,
Do Not allow the airspeed to decrease below this speed (Nominally V2 / VGA for the flap configuration).
Unlike a jet aircraft, it is not permissible to continue to increase pitch attitude until stick shaker occurs.
This is because at high power settings the propeller slipstream creates additional lift on the airframe. As a
result, the aircraft could reach a dangerously low indicated airspeed before the shaker activates.
At these very low airspeeds, the aircraft is operating on the extreme “back side” of the Lift / Drag curve with a
significant deterioration of climb capability.
Additionally, the flight controls may not retain sufficient authority to maintain control of the aircraft in turbulence
or following an engine flameout.
Jet aircraft can be flown to shaker because it provides an artificial barrier to reaching very low IAS.
Propeller aircraft normally “create” such a barrier using procedural means instead.
Restricting the aircraft to a minimum airspeed of V2 / VGA during the recovery is a natural choice as these
speeds are readily available to crew members and match optimal climb speed.
The Low Speed Cue on the Q400 aircraft has been designed to overcome the Limitations associated with the
stick shaker at high power settings and function as a visual airspeed barrier.
The cue will always display an appropriate minimum airspeed for control of the aircraft regardless of weight,
flap or power setting.
As a result, terrain recoveries can be flown using the low speed cue as an aid to preventing an unacceptable
low airspeed condition.

TRAFFIC ALERT & COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (TCAS)
In reference to a TCAS Traffic Advisory (TA), both pilots should locate the traffic on the MFD (yellow filled diamond) then the PNF should look outside for the traffic.
The PF will continue to monitor the MFD for any changes in traffic flight path or new traffic and direct the PNF
where to look for the traffic.
Should the PNF become visual with the traffic, the PNF should inform the PF and continue to monitor this traffic
as well as look for others.
The PF should continue to monitor the MFD for any changes in traffic flight path or new traffic.
The PNF should also request / advise ATC of any flight path changes requested by the PF in order to avoid the
traffic.
In the event the TA changes to a Resolution Advisory (RA), the PF should take whatever Resolution Advisory
climb or descent is directed by the TCAS.
Disconnect the autopilot and immediately adjust the flight profile.
The PNF should continue to look for the traffic and ensure the PF has met the RA directed by TCAS.
The PNF shall also advise ATC of any change in assigned altitude using the standard terminology:
“TCAS CLIMB (or DESCENT)”.
Once clear of the conflict and the RA is cancelled, the PF shall return the airplane to the original assigned altitude as promptly as possible.
The PNF will then report the completion of the maneuver to ATC using the terminology:
“TCAS CLIMB (or DESCENT) COMPLETED, (assigned clearance) RESUMED”.

ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS
3.3.1
General
3.3-1
[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015
Airplane operations in adverse weather such as windshear, icing, severe turbulence, contaminated runways
and crosswinds add variables to the normal operations.
When applicable, follow the supplemental procedures in this section.
3.3.2
WINDSHEAR
3.3.2.1
Background
Windshear is defined as a sudden change in air mass direction and speed lasting for a measurable period of
time (as opposed to simple turbulence).
Knowledge of how windshear affects aircraft performance is essential to the application of the proper vertical
flight path control techniques during an inadvertent windshear encounter.
While many windshear encounters have been related to weather fronts, strong surface winds, mountain
waves, etc, the worst encounters have involved wet microburst / downburst phenomena associated with thunderstorms.
A microburst or downburst is a shaft of high velocity air moving down from the core of a convective cloud to the
ground where it spreads out in a gust front in all directions.
The wind component is mostly horizontal at altitudes below 500 ft.
Horizontal windshear may improve or degrade vertical flight path performance.
Performance improving windshear will first be indicated in the flight compartment by an increasing airspeed.
Performance improving windshear may be a precursor of a shear that will decrease airspeed and degrade vertical flight path performance.
Accordingly, when windshear is suspected, avoid large power reductions and excessive trim changes in
response to sudden airspeed increases as these may be followed quickly by sudden decreases.
All events will not be in the classic mould of symmetrical outflows as described above. In fact, they can vary to
the extent that the first recognizable encounter might be the decreasing performance tailwind shear.
Crew actions are divided into 3 areas: Avoidance, Precautions and Recovery.
3.3.2.2
Windshear Avoidance
Carefully assess all available information such as pilot reports of windshear or turbulence, low level windshear
alerts and weather reports, including thunderstorm and virga activity.
Avoid areas of known severe windshear.
If severe windshear is indicated, delay take-off or do not continue an approach until conditions improve.
All crews should broadcast any instances of airspeed fluctuation when shear is encountered.
One aircraft, upon entering the outflow area of a downburst, may encounter airspeed fluctuations, but no significant control problems.
Another aircraft on the same flight path a few minutes later, may experience airspeed changes many times
greater than the previous aircraft, accompanied by marked performance degradation and handling difficulties.
3.3.2.3
Windshear Precautions - Take-off
Do Not use a reduced power take-off; use normal take-off power if there are any reports of windshear in the
area.
Use the longest suitable runway, provided it is clear of areas of known windshear.
Be alert for airspeed fluctuations during take-off and initial climb.
Airspeed fluctuations may be the first indication of windshear.
Rotate at the normal pitch rate to the normal take-off pitch attitude.
Minimize reductions from this initial attitude until terrain and obstacle clearance is assured.
Crews should develop an awareness of the normal values of airspeed, attitude, vertical speed and acceleration.
Vertical flight path instruments such as vertical speed indicators and altimeters should be closely monitored.
The PNF (Pilot Not Flying) should call out any deviations from normal.
If the PF (Pilot Flying) feels that vertical flight path control is marginal at any time the PF will call “WINDSHEAR” and carry out the in-flight recovery maneuver outlined below.
AOM DASH 8-Q400
3.3-2
[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015
3.3.2.4
CHAPTER 3
NON-NORMAL, SPECIAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL
PROCEDURES
Windshear Precautions - Approach
Utilize all available means in the flight compartment that might indicate the presence of windshear such as
visual indications, pilot reports, radar and flight instruments.
Select the minimum approach / landing flap position consistent with field length and WAT (Weight Altitude Temperature).
Limit and add an appropriate wind correction to VAPP (correction applied in the same manner as gust correction).
Avoid large power reductions or trim changes in response to sudden airspeed increases as these may be followed by airspeed decreases.
Closely monitor the vertical flight path instruments, specifically vertical speed, altimeters and glideslope indicators - increasing the normal cross check between these instruments and the flight director commands.
In this regard, crew coordination is most important, especially at night or in marginal weather conditions.
The PNF should be ready to promptly call out any deviation from normal.
If the PF feels that vertical flight path control is marginal at any time the PF will call “WINDSHEAR” and carry
out the in-flight recovery maneuver outlined below.
3.3.2.5
Windshear In-Flight Recovery - Maneuver
The flight crew must make the determination of marginal flight path control using all the information available in
the flight compartment and react promptly.
This determination is subjective and based on the pilots' judgment of the situation.
As a guideline, marginal flight path control may be indicated by uncontrolled changes from normal steady state
flight conditions in excess of:
•
10 kt indicated airspeed
•
500 ft/min vertical speed
•
5° pitch attitude
•
1 dot displacement from the glideslope
The following action is recommended when preventative action is not successful, or whenever flight path control becomes marginal below 500 ft above the ground on take-off or landing:
•
Initial response - Apply NTOP (detent) power / Rotate to known GA (Go Around) attitude
Provides a fixed pitch target in turbulence
•
Do Not change configuration unless flight path under control.
Aircraft still descending:
•
Increase thrust and pitch attitude
- Firewall power
- Increase pitch target sufficient to stop descent, but Do Not allow airspeed to decrease below V2 / VGA
- Maintain the pitch attitude that achieves V2 / VGA airspeed
•
Stick shaker activates and / or airspeed tape turns red:
Should the stick shaker activate and / or airspeed tape turn red in turbulence (Alternate Symbology aircraft), immediately reduce the pitch attitude sufficient to silence the shaker and achieve an airspeed above
the low speed cue.
In the event this should occur close to the ground, maintain the pitch attitude which silences the shaker,
until terrain contact is no longer a factor, then allow the aircraft to accelerate back to V2 / VGA.
•
Continue climb until clear of terrain.
Clear of terrain:
•
Reduce power and pitch attitude appropriate to the phase of flight.
•
Reconfigure aircraft as necessary.

Calls “CLEAR OF TERRAIN”

Do Not change gear or flap configuration if the vertical flight path is not under control.
Optimum aircraft performance (best angle of climb) occurs near 1.13 VS for the aircraft configuration, therefore,
Do Not allow the airspeed to decrease below this speed (Nominally V2 / VGA for the flap configuration).
Unlike a jet aircraft, it is not permissible to continue to increase pitch attitude until stick shaker occurs.
This is because at high power settings the propeller slipstream creates additional lift on the airframe. As a
result, the aircraft could reach a dangerously low indicated airspeed before the shaker activates.
At these very low airspeeds, the aircraft is operating on the extreme “back side” of the Lift / Drag curve with a
significant deterioration of climb capability.
Additionally, the flight controls may not retain sufficient authority to maintain control of the aircraft in turbulence
or following an engine flameout.
Jet aircraft can be flown to shaker because it provides an artificial barrier to reaching very low IAS.
Propeller aircraft normally “create” such a barrier using procedural means instead.
Restricting the aircraft to a minimum airspeed of V2 / VGA during the recovery is a natural choice as these
speeds are readily available to crew members and match optimal climb speed.
The Low Speed Cue on the Q400 aircraft has been designed to overcome the limitations associated with the
stick shaker at high power settings and function as a visual airspeed barrier.
The cue will always display an appropriate minimum airspeed for control of the aircraft regardless of weight,
flap or power setting.
As a result, windshear recoveries can be flown using the low speed cue as an aid to preventing an unacceptable low airspeed condition.

3.3.3.1
Avoidance
As with all weather hazards, the best action is to stay away from turbulence.
Areas of severe or extreme turbulence may be reported by SIGMETS, ATC or pilot reports.
Areas of severe and extreme turbulence are known to exist:
•
Near Frontal Activity
•
Near the Jetstream
•
On the leeward side of mountains
•
In Areas of Convective Activity
Convective activity will produce turbulence within the convective formation, underneath the formation (sometimes in the form of a microburst), or above it.
Weather radar can be used to stay away from areas of heavy convective build up.
Areas of strong build up should be avoided by at least 20 NM and topped by at least 2000 ft.

Severe Turbulence Encounter
If severe turbulence is encountered:
•
Disengage the autopilot.
•
Maintain control of the airplane by primary reference to attitude (ADI).
•
Allow airspeed and altitude to fluctuate as required.
•
Avoid sudden or large power and control inputs.
•
Reduce IAS to Rough Air Speed
•
Avoid use of large bank angles due to increased wing loading
Report any severe or extreme turbulence to so that other pilots know of the hazard.
3.3.4
WAKE TURBULENCE
Wake turbulence is caused by wing tip vortices.
When an airfoil creates lift, it causes wing tip vortices.
The higher pressure below the wing will try to equalize with the lower pressure on top.
The air will do this by moving around the wing tip from the bottom to the top in a swirling movement, causing
vortices.
The vortices are strongest when the airplane is heavy, slow and clean (flaps and slats retracted).
3.3.4.1
Induced Roll Control Factors
The usual hazard associated with induced rolling moments is exceeding the roll-control capability of the airplane.
The governing factor in the ability for the airplane to counter control the roll tendency is the wingspan and control responsiveness of the airplane.
The shorter the wingspan of the airplane relative to the generating airplane, the more difficult it will be to counteract the rolling tendencies.
3.3.4.2
Induced Pitch Control Factors
When an airplane crosses the wake of another airplane, it will experience pitching motions and vertical loads
quite similar to a gust encounter.
Crosstrack penetration, whether it is a clockwise vortex penetration or counter-clockwise vortex penetration,
typically lasts a very short time.
This minimizes the effects of the vortex.
Pilots normally do not lose control of the airplane, but structural loads and loss of altitude can create hazards.

[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015
3.3.4.3
CHAPTER 3
NON-NORMAL, SPECIAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL
PROCEDURES
Vortex Behavior
Because vortices are a by-product of lift, they are made from the time the airplane leaves the ground until it
touches down again.
Before take-off or touchdown, pilots should note the rotation or touchdown point of the preceding airplane.
Vortices from larger airplanes sink at a rate of several hundreds ft/min, slowing their descent and diminishing in
strength with time and distance behind the generating airplane.
Atmospheric turbulence hastens breakup.
Pilots should fly at or above the preceding airplane’s path, changing course as necessary to stay away from
the area behind and below the airplane.
A vertical separation of 1000 ft may be considered safe.
When vortices of larger airplanes sink close to the ground (within 100 to 200 ft), they move laterally over the
ground at a speed of about 5 kt.
A crosswind will slow the lateral movement of the upwind vortex and increase the movement of the downwind
vortex.
A light wind with a cross runway component of 1 to 5 kt could keep the upwind vortex in the touchdown zone
for a period of time and increase the drift of the downwind vortices toward another runway.
A tailwind condition can move the vortices of the preceding airplane forward into the touchdown zone.
The light quartering tailwind is the most concern.
Pilots should be alert to large airplanes upwind from their approach and take-off flight paths.
3.3.4.4
•
Considerations
Be aware of wake turbulence when holding near a runway.
•
Before crossing a runway, wait a few minutes after a large airplane has taken off or landed.
•
When taking off behind a larger airplane plan to rotate before the larger airplane’s rotation point.
•
Climb above and upwind of the larger airplane’s climb path until clear of its wake.
•
Do Not fly below and behind a large airplane’s flight path.
•
If landing after a departing airplane, touchdown before its rotation point.
•
If landing after a large airplane, stay above the other airplane’s path and land after its touchdown point.
•
When landing after a large airplane on a parallel runway closer than 2500 ft, beware of possible drifting of
the vortex to your runway.
NOTE:
3.3.5
ATC will provide separation for airplane, but it is still the pilot’s responsibility to avoid wake
turbulence.
VOLCANIC ASH
Flight in volcanic ash can cause damage to airplane surfaces and engines.
Engine failures are a common result of flight in volcanic ash.
Airplane heat, hydraulic and electrical systems can also be contaminated.
Volcanic ash is heavy, and large quantities of contamination can have an unwanted effect on airplane mass
and balance.
Aviation radar is not good at finding volcanic ash clouds.
Ash from volcanic eruptions can quickly reach 60000 ft and be blown more than 2400 NM.
Pilots must not enter visible volcanic ash clouds.
There is an increased risk of entering volcanic ash at night or in instrument conditions.
If a given area has any reported risk of volcanic ash, it must not be entered until it is found to be safe.
St. Elmo’s fire will usually occur if flying in volcanic ash at night.
Pilots must leave the area quickly if they fly into volcanic ash.
Report any volcanic ash or eruption seen to ATC.

Where corrective action to the affected system, has not been implemented through a modification and / or Service Bulletin, the following procedures provide the means to reset specific nuisance caution lights, advisory
messages or system faults.
The following general procedures MUST be adhered to in order to ensure the continued safe operation of the
aircraft:
1.
These procedures may only be used during ground operations;
2.
Any procedure detailing the reset (pull out and push in) of circuit breakers may only be used one time for
each nuisance indication; and
3.
If these procedures are not sufficient to clear the nuisance indication, then the MEL must be used if applicable or the problem must be rectified prior to aircraft dispatch.

Erroneous CABIN Temperature Indication
(Flight compartment indication of cabin temperature reads up to 9ºC higher than FA’s panel reading)
-
No maintenance action required.
Operation of the ECS system is unaffected.
Erroneous Single “BLEED HOT” Caution Light
(The respective “BLEED HOT” Caution light goes out after landing)
Under certain flight conditions, the bleed control system will open the High Pressure port (P3) for short periods,
causing the respective “BLEED HOT” Caution light to illuminate.
The following procedure may be used to determine if this is a momentary event:
If the respective “BLEED HOT” Caution light goes out after landing:
Bleed Air (affected engine) ........................................................................................................................... ON
Power Lever (affected engine) ............................................................................................................ Increase
Increase to above FLT IDLE until bleed stage switching occurs.
Bleed stage switching can be observed by monitoring the appropriate de-ice pressure gauge, on the co-pilot’s
side panel, for the pressure needle to move slightly.
If the respective “BLEED HOT” Caution light illuminates:
-
Maintenance action is required prior to next flight.
If the respective “BLEED HOT” Caution light does not illuminate:
-
Monitor the Bleed system on subsequent flights.

PROCEDURES
Landing Gear
Brake Wear
(Braking Technique for Carbon Brakes)
The mechanisms affecting brake wear are very different for steel and carbon brake assemblies.
The number of brake applications has the biggest impact on carbon brake wear.
•
Taxi:
Flight crew should avoid riding the brakes during taxi operations.
Taxi speed should be regulated primarily through the use of power (DISC).
At slow speeds, if the brakes are required, they should be used smoothly and positively applied towards
maximum pressure to enable a complete stop.
•
Landing Ground Roll:
Deceleration techniques on landing will vary depending on the length of the runway and the type of available exits.
If the runway is short, it is recommended that Flight Crews apply the brakes immediately after touchdown,
coupled with aerodynamic braking through the use of DISC.
Strong, positive brake application is most effective and ensures the brakes reach their optimum operating
temperature when bringing the aircraft to an acceptable taxi speed or a complete stop.
Using the brakes for short duration and / or light application will cause premature wear.
If the runway is long, without a high speed turnoff, the aircraft will have to be at a very slow taxi speed in
order to make the 90° turn off the runway.
If the brakes are required, they should be applied ahead of the planned turn off at a distance sufficient to
achieve the desired taxi speed with the use of strong, positive brake application.

Single Engine Taxi Operations
3.4.2.11.1
General
3.4-15
[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015
At the option of the operator, single engine taxi operations may be performed in accordance with the operational considerations and procedures contained in this section.
Operators may incorporate the information contained herein, into their flight operations documentation, as necessary.
This supplemental procedure does not constitute operational approval to conduct single engine taxi operations.
3.4.2.11.2
Operational Considerations
Single engine taxi operations may be considered for use on hard surfaced taxiways and ramps with the # 2
engine operating and the # 1 engine either shutdown or running in Start & Feather.
Aircraft ground handling characteristics during single engine taxi require greater anticipation of turn direction,
turn radius, wind and varying taxiway slopes to avoid large power changes.
Turns into the operating engine may require forward momentum prior to commencing the turn.
Application of power above flight idle may be required and should be performed with regard for the effect of
propeller slipstream on surrounding objects and personnel.
Contamination of taxiway or ramp surfaces will reduce the effectiveness of nose steering and single engine taxi
should be avoided where there is any possibility of nose tire skidding.
At any time deemed necessary by the Captain, single engine taxi operations should be discontinued and the #
1 engine started to continue taxi to the runway or parking.
Single engine taxi before take-off is commenced with # 2 engine start carried out in the parking position or
during push back.
# 1 engine start is delayed until an appropriate point during taxi allowing sufficient time remaining for Pre-Takeoff Checks to be performed and engine to reach stable internal temperatures before take-off.
Although there is no formal limitation defining time between engine start and application of take-off power, provided engine oil temperature is above 0°C, Pratt and Whitney Canada (PWC) recommend a warm-up period of
at least 5 min.
This protects the mission profile assumptions used to establish engine component life limits and inspection
intervals.
Single engine taxi after landing is carried out by shutting down the # 1 engine after the aircraft is clear of the
runway and preferably after the After Landing checks have been completed.
During single engine taxi operations, in the event of a loss of # 1 hydraulic system pressure, normal braking will
be lost.
In the event of the failure of the # 2 engine, both normal braking and nose steering will be lost.
In both instances, it will be necessary to use the Emergency Brake to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Single engine taxi operations are not compatible with:
1.
# 1 engine operating and # 2 engine either shutdown or running in Start & Feather;
2.
The following system failures:
a. Nose wheel Steering System inoperative
b. Any Hydraulic System failure
c.
Use of Alternate Landing Gear Extension
d. # 2 DC Generator inoperative
e. # 2 AC Generator inoperative

Abnormal / Emergency Checklist Guidelines
When a non-normal situation occurs, the following guidelines apply:
•
Non-Normal Recognition
-
•
The crew member recognizing the malfunction calls it out clearly and precisely.
Maintain Airplane Control
-
It is mandatory that the Pilot Flying (PF) flies the airplane while the Pilot Monitoring (PM) accomplishes
the AEC.
Maximum use of the Flight Director / Autopilot is recommended to reduce crew workload.
•
Analyze the Situation
-
AECs should be accomplished only after the malfunctioning system has been positively identified.
NOTE:
•
Pilots should don oxygen masks and establish communications anytime oxygen deprivation or
air contamination is suspected, even though an associated warning has not occurred.
Take the Proper Action
-
Although many in-flight non-normal situations may require immediate corrective action, difficulties can
be compounded by the rate the PF issues commands and the speed of execution of the PM.
-
Commands must be clear and concise, allowing time for acknowledgement of each command prior to
issuing further commands.
-
The PF must exercise positive control by allowing time for acknowledgment and execution.
-
The other crew members must be certain their reports to the PF are clear and concise, neither exaggerating nor understating the nature of the non-normal situation.
This eliminates confusion and ensures efficient, effective and expeditious handling of the non-normal
situation.
•
Evaluate the Need to Land
-
If the AEC directs the crew to land immediately at the nearest suitable airport or if the situation is so
identified in the QRH, diversion to the nearest airport where a safe landing can be accomplished is
required.
If the AEC does not direct landing immediately at the nearest suitable airport, the pilot must determine if
continued flight to destination may compromise safety.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting can be defined as taking steps beyond the published checklist in an effort to improve or correct a non-normal condition.
Examples of this are as follows:
-
Attempting to reset a system or cycling a circuit breaker when not prescribed by the AEC.
-
Using maintenance-level information to dictate crew actions.
-
Use of switches and controls intended only for maintenance.
NOTE:
With the availability of today’s communication channels, there seems to be a tendency that
flight crews request help from maintenance during abnormal situations.
Clearly, maintenance crew typically Do Not have the operational background or the situational
awareness of the flight crew’s non-normal environment.
Maintenance crews will use a different methodology to handle problems that may not be
appropriate for an in-flight non-normal situation.
Troubleshooting is rarely helpful and has caused further loss of system function or failure and in some cases,
accidents and incidents.
The crew should consider additional actions beyond the checklist only when completion of the published
checklist steps clearly result in an unacceptable situation.
In the case of airplane controllability problems, when a safe landing is considered unlikely, airplane-handling
evaluations with gear and / or flaps extended may be appropriate.
Also, attempting to free jammed flight controls should only be attempted, if the airplane cannot be safely
landed with the existing condition and then, according to the AEC to the extent possible.
Crew distraction, caused by preoccupation with troubleshooting, has been a key factor in fuel starvation and
CFIT accidents.
Completion of the AEC, as published, is strongly recommended.
3.4.3.4
Abnormal Contaminated Runway Operations
There have been incidents involving Dash 8 aircraft operating from a contaminated runway, where the nose
landing gear became frozen in the retracted position.
Attempts to lower the nose landing gear using the normal and the alternate systems were unsuccessful.
The aircraft sustained minor damage when landed with the nose landing gear retracted.
The operating guidance provided in the AFM Supplement 37
(SUPPLEMENTARY PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FOR OPERATION ON CONTAMINATED RUNWAYS)
limits the maximum Water Equivalent Depth (WED) to 15 mm (0.59 in) and the maximum contaminant depth to
6 cm (2.4 in).
AFM Figure 6-37-1 provides a mean to convert the Contaminant Depth to WED for take-off.
The maximum allowable depth of slush is approximately 15 mm (0.59 in).

CHAPTER 3
NON-NORMAL, SPECIAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL
PROCEDURES
Landing Gear Failures
Structural failure of the landing gear is not covered under Type Certification, therefore, no specific AFM procedure covering this malfunction is provided or required.
When it is known that a landing must be performed which could be identified as an emergency landing due to
the presence of factors which introduce a hazard to the airplane and its occupants, AFM Paragraph 3.16,
Emergency Landing, outlines the main points to be addressed as applicable.
The intent of the following is to provide a list of options that may assist the flight crew in their decision making
process.
The information presented will not always be appropriate for the conditions being experienced by the flight
crew.
Ultimately, the flight crew will have to make the final decisions given the information presented to them in the
particular emergency situation.
Normal Extension / Retraction
If the landing gear fails to extend or retract, assuming that the Normal Extension / Retraction procedures have
been actioned correctly, the following list contains known conditions that have presented the flight crew with an
abnormal landing gear configuration:
-
A burnt out landing gear advisory light bulb can give a false indication that the gear is not down.
If “3 green” gear down and locked advisory lights are not observed, ensure that the light bulbs in the gear
indicator panel have been checked utilizing the Advisory / Test switch.
-
Failing to use the Alternate Indication system for a landing gear down and locked confirmation.
-
The Alternate Release and Extension doors not in the fully closed position prior to a normal landing gear
selection.
-
The Landing Gear Inhibit switch is not in the Normal position.
Once it is determined that the normal system has failed to extend / retract the landing gear and the aircraft was
appropriately configured giving due regard to the above mentioned possible errors, the AFM directs the use of
the Alternate Extension system.
Alternate Extension
Unless covered by a specific procedure in the AFM, following a landing gear retraction or extension malfunction, the landing gear must be extended using the Alternate Landing Gear Extension procedure (see NOTE in
AFM Paragraph 4.21.1).
Cycling the landing gear as an intermediate step to achieve an all gear down and locked indication is not
approved or recommended.
As the root cause of the landing gear anomaly is unlikely to be known, cycling the landing gear may create a
more difficult landing gear configuration for the flight crew to manage.
The Alternate Extension procedure was created to provide a backup means of extending the landing gear
based on a standard set of common mode failures required for certification.
Multiple system failures, compounding failures, structural failures and / or the introduction of foreign objects are
not part of, nor required for showing certification compliance.
When using the Alternate Extension procedure, flight crews must ensure:
-
The Alternate Extension and Release doors are fully open and remain fully open.
-
The main and nose landing gear release handles are pulled with sufficient force (may exceed 41 kg / 90 lb)
to release the doors and uplocks (pull forces in the air will likely be greater than those experienced on the
ground or in a simulator).
Continue pulling with whatever force is necessary to achieve release of all landing gear uplocks.
NOTE:
A tower “flyby” technique may be useful for confirmation of landing gear position, but is not
suitable for confirmation of landing gear down and locked condition.

[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015
BEYOND THE NORMAL AND ALTERNATE:
There have been events where unique landing gear failures prevented the extension of the landing gear using
the normal and alternate extension systems.
These circumstances are beyond certification standards and existing AFM procedures are unlikely to provide
adequate direction for rectification of the abnormal landing gear condition.
The following flight crew procedures are offered for consideration.
NOTE:
The final decision with respect to the use of procedures outside those given in the AFM remain
with the Pilot In Command (PIC).
FLIGHT CREW PROCEDURAL CONSIDERATIONS:
When it is known that a landing must be performed which could be identified as an emergency landing due to
the presence of factors which introduce a hazard to the airplane and its occupants, AFM Paragraph 3.16 outlines the main points to be addressed as applicable.
With different potential landing gear failure scenarios, the following considerations may also be applicable:
Nose Gear - UP
Main Gear - DOWN and LOCKED
If the Alternate Gear Extension procedure has been completed and it cannot be verified that the nose landing
gear is down and locked by the normal and alternate systems, the flight crew must make a decision to perform
a landing with the nose landing gear not locked or reset the Alternate Extension system and cycle the landing
gear in an attempt to achieve all gears down and locked.
It is possible to safely land the Dash 8 Q400 airplane with the nose landing gear retracted.
The geometry of the airplane is such that the propellers will not come in contact with the ground with the main
landing gear extended and the nose landing gear retracted.
In addition to the direction given in the AFM Paragraph 3.16, Emergency Landing, the following items are
offered for consideration:
•
Reduce landing weight through fuel burn
•
Attempt to achieve an aft CG by re-seating passengers
•
Select a runway with minimal crosswind
•
Land with Flap 35º
•
Fly the appropriate VREF for the landing weight
•
Touchdown offset from the runway centreline if the runway is equipped with a centreline lighting system
•
On touchdown, hold the nose up off the runway as long as possible.
Prior to losing elevator effectivity, gently lower the nose onto the runway
•
If the nose landing gear is not extended or it collapses, maintain directional control with rudder until it is no
longer effective, at which point asymmetric braking may be used as required
•
If the nosewheel is on the ground and the nose landing gear appears to be locked, apply brakes and / or
reverse thrust.
If the nose landing gear is not extended or it collapses, apply brakes only.

CHAPTER 3
NON-NORMAL, SPECIAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL
PROCEDURES
Opting to cycle the landing gear in an effort to extend the nose gear from this abnormal situation would require
a reset of Alternate Extension procedure.
This may be accomplished by utilizing the following procedure:
1.
Ensure # 2 hydraulic system pressure and quantity are normal and the following landing gear advisory
lights are illuminated:
- selector lever amber,
- gear green locked down (main gear only),
- red gear unlocked (nose gear) and
- all amber doors open.
2.

[Rev. 13] 30 JAN 2015
All Gear - UP
It is possible to safely land the Dash 8 Q400 airplane with all landing gears retracted.
The geometry of the airplane is such that the propellers should not come in contact with the ground with all
landing gears retracted, if it is possible to maintain the wings level throughout the landing.
In addition to the direction given in the AFM Paragraph 3.16, Emergency Landing and Paragraph 3.15.1, Item
6, Note 1, the following items are offered for consideration:
•
Reduce landing weight through fuel burn
•
Passengers must be moved from the seats in the plane of the propellers and re-seated elsewhere in the
cabin
•
Select a runway with minimal crosswind
•
Land with Flap 35º
•
Fly the appropriate VREF for the landing weight
•
Touchdown offset from the runway centreline if the runway is equipped with a centreline lighting system
•
Maintain a nose-up pitch attitude not exceeding 5º prior to runway contact
•
On touchdown, maintain wings level using lateral control and directional control with rudder
•
Unless there is propeller / ground contact during the landing, requiring an immediate engine shutdown,
feather and secure engines once the aircraft has come to a stop.
One Main Gear - UP
Nose Gear and Opposite Main Gear - DOWN and LOCKED
If the Alternate Gear Extension procedure has been completed and it cannot be verified that both main landing
gears are down and locked by the normal and alternate systems, the flight crew may consider resetting the
alternate extension system and attempt to cycle the landing gear in order to achieve all gears down and locked
or to perform a landing with one main gear unsafe.
Opting to cycle the landing gear in an effort to extend the main gear from this abnormal situation would require
a reset of Alternate Extension procedure.
This may be accomplished by utilizing the following procedure:
1.
Visually confirm that the affected gear has not extended and that the associated doors have opened.
2.
Ensure # 2 hydraulic system pressure and quantity are normal and the following landing gear advisory
lights are illuminated:
- selector lever amber,
- gear green locked down (nose and unaffected main gear),
- red gear unlocked (affected main gear) and
- all amber doors open.
3.
NOSE L/G RELEASE handle – Return to stowed position.
4.
LANDING GEAR ALTERNATE EXTENSION door – Close fully.
5.
MAIN L/G RELEASE handle – Return to the stowed position.

any abnormality in landing gear system indication other than those associated with
the affected main landing gear be experienced,
see AFM Paragraph 4.21.1 (ALTERNATE LANDING GEAR EXTENSION).
The flight crew must assume and prepare for the affected main landing gear to collapse on landing.
In addition to the direction given in the AFM Paragraph 3.16, Emergency Landing, the following items are
offered for consideration:
•
Reduce landing weight through fuel burn
•
Passengers must be moved from the seats in the plane of the propellers and re-seated elsewhere in the

TAKE-OFF AND CLIMB PERFORMANCE DATA
The presentation of performance data in the AOM is made in a tabular form - compared to the graphical presentation in the Airplane Flight Manual.
The company will provide take-off mass limit tables for performance-critical airports / runways. Therefore not all
details of the AFM are presented in the AOM. The tables presented in the AOM should allow a quick determination of the allowed mass for the take-off and the accelerate - stop distance available in case no detailed takeoff mass limit is available for the runway concerned.
For reasons of simplification a V1 = VR is assumed!
Using V1 = VR there may be situations where the allowed mass for take-off is limited by the TODA or the
ASDA. Therefore the lower mass shall be depicted from either the table for:
•
Maximum mass for take-off - versus ASDA -
or
•
Maximum mass for take-off - versus TODA -
Under Sub-Chapter 4.1.5 the available Reference Gradients Available are given, followed by a table showing
the required reference gradient for a given obstacle height and obstacle distance (from end of TODA).
4.1.1
Mass, Altitude and Temperature Limits (MAT))
The mass limits as presented in the following tables do assure a minimum gross gradient of climb of 2.4% for
the relevant pressure altitude/OAT combination.

[Rev. X] 31 MAY 2011
Allowed Mass for Take-Off / Dry Runway
The tables under this Sub-Chapter do allow the determination of the maximum mass for take-off for a given
ASDA and TODA.
To simplify the evaluation a V1 / VR - ratio of 1 has been used.
Using a V1 = VR means that in some instances it will not be the TODA, but the ASDA which limits the maximum
mass for take-off.
In case of very long stopways or clearways (approximately 150 m) a take-off may even be limited by the takeoff run.
In those very rare instances the TOR graphs have to be crosschecked in the AFM, as TOR data is not included
in the AOM.
In case there are no clearways and stopways available (TORA = TODA = ASDA) the limiting masses still need
to be crosschecked for the ASDA and the TODA maximum mass limit.
The lowest mass as obtained from the ASDA or TODA maximum mass limit has to be used as the take-off limit.
No correction will be required for Ice Protection Systems “ON”.
The corresponding take-off speeds will be found under Sub-Chapter 4.5.
Remember:
For this kind of presentation V1 is equal to VR.
The maximum mass limits for ASDA and TODA are based on a level (no slope) runway and zero wind condition.
Therefore the ASDA and the TODA must first be corrected for the wind and slope (Sub-Chapter 4.1.2.1).
Only then the tables for the ASDA and TODA mass limits must be used by entering the table with the wind /
slope corrected ASDA and TORA.
Sub-Chapter 4.1.2.2 gives the maximum allowed mass for the (corrected) ASDA and the (corrected) TODA.
4.1.2.1
Corrections of TODA / ASDA for Wind and Slope
Enter the table with the declared ASDA and find the corrected ASDA for wind and slope.
Likewise the declared TODA shall be corrected for wind and slope.
NOTE:
The declared ASDA / TODA shall - where applicable - be corrected by the line-up allowances
(Sub-Chapter 1.10.2).
The following tables show the ASDA and TODA corrected for wind and slope:
Table 1 - shows corrected ASDA for 5° Flaps.
Table 1A - shows corrected TODA for 5° Flaps.
Table 2 - shows corrected ASDA for 10° Flaps.
Table 2A - shows corrected TODA for 10° Flaps.
Table 3 - shows corrected ASDA for 15° Flaps.
Table 3A - shows corrected TODA for 15° Flaps.

Maximum Mass for ASDA and TODA
The tables shall be entered with the corrected ASDA and TODA (Sub-Chapter 4.1.2.1).
Find the limiting mass for the corresponding pressure altitude and temperature.
Remember:
NOTE:
The lowest mass - either for ASDA or for TODA - shall be used for determination of the
allowed mass for take-off!
The so obtained mass limit may be further restricted by obstacles (see Sub-Chapter 4.1.5).
A higher mass limit may be obtained by using a lower V1, however those relevant data are not
given in the AOM for reasons of simplification and as a conservation.
The following tables are made out for a pressure altitude of 0 up to 10000 ft in intervals of 1000 ft:
Table 4 - shows the maximum mass for ASDA for 5° Flaps.
Table 4A - shows the maximum mass for TODA for 5° Flaps.
Table 5 - shows the maximum mass for ASDA for 10° Flaps.
Table 5A - shows the maximum mass for TODA for 10° Flaps.
Table 6 - shows the maximum mass for ASDA for 15° Flaps.
Table 6A - shows the maximum mass for TODA for 15° Flaps.
