Taken as a whole, this DHC-7 Aircraft Operating Manual gives a technician, pilot, or flight operations officer a single reference for how the Dash 7 is limited, flown, and maintained within the Pelita Air Service operating environment. The limitation and performance sections define what the aircraft may legally and physically do, the normal and emergency procedures define how each phase of flight is flown, and the system description chapters explain how each aircraft system works so a fault can be traced to its source.

How the Dash 7 Aircraft Operating Manual Is Organised

The manual opens with control pages, a list of holders, a list of contents, a list of effective pages, a record of revisions, a foreword, and the CASR reference section, so the document’s revision status and distribution can be verified before use. Section 0 introduces the AOM itself and explains the conventions, notes, cautions, and warnings used throughout. Each chapter is then divided into numbered sub-chapters so a specific procedure, limit, or system can be found quickly.

Limitations and Operating Envelope

Section 1 of the DHC-7 Dash 7 operating manual sets out the operating limitations that must be observed in the operation of the airplane. It states the certification basis (Transport Category, FAR Part 25 up to and including Amendment 31), the eligible kinds of operation (day and night VFR, IFR, and icing conditions), the minimum flight crew of one pilot and one copilot, and the configuration deviation rule. It then lists the maximum structural weight limits, center of gravity limits with landing gear down, loading instructions and loading limits, maneuvering limit load factors for flaps retracted and extended, maximum lateral asymmetry, operational limits for variable factors such as maximum operating altitude, ambient temperature limits, the full airspeed limitation set (VMO, VFE, VA, VLO, VLE, VB, and direct vision window speed), and the power plant limitations for the PT6A-50 engine including torque, ITT, Ng, Np, oil pressure, and oil temperature. Engine instrument limitation markings and engine ground operating limitations are described for both pre-Mod 7/2091 and Mod 7/2091 single idle configurations.

Emergency and Abnormal Procedures

Section 2 of this DHC-7 AOM is the emergency and abnormal procedures chapter. It defines non normal operation, ground failures, and flight failures, and explains the sequence in which memory items, checklist items, caution and advisory information, and landing precautions are handled. It then presents crew-coordinated procedures for engine failure or fire at or after V1, engine failure or fire in flight, propeller overspeed, missed approach with one engine inoperative, elevator control jammed, roll control jam, flapless landing, smoke, depressurization, emergency descent, three engine operation, one engine inoperative climb, one engine inoperative approach and landing with go-around, and stall recovery.

Normal Procedures and Flight Phases

Section 3 covers normal procedures from preflight and cockpit preparation through engine start, push back, taxi, take-off, climb, cruise, descent, approach (precision and non precision), holding, landing, crosswind landing, circling, missed approach, after landing, and shutdown. Take-off briefing content, emergency briefing, engine start sequence (normally 3, 4, 2, 1), after-start flows for the left and right seats, and power back guidance are all included.

Checklists

Section 4 contains the operating checklists, including cockpit safety check, pre flight originating checklist, before-start/enroute checklist, starting engine checklist, push back checklist, after start checklist, taxi checklist, line up checklist, after take-off checklist, cruise checklist, descent checklist, approach checklist, landing checklist, after landing checklist, shutdown checklist, traffic pattern checklist, and the DHC-7 emergency checklist with emergency and abnormal procedures index.

Performance, Flight Planning and Weight & Balance

Section 5 provides performance tables for stalling speeds, maximum continuous power, three-engine drift down altitude, two-engine drift down altitude, cross wind limits, landing distance, climb, intermediate cruise, long range cruise, and descent. Section 6 covers flight planning with enroute performance data and optimization for minimum block time, minimum block fuel, and minimum cost. Section 7 covers weight and balance limitations, weight definitions, airplane actual weights and balance, preparation for flight, use of the fuselage tail steady strut, weighing instructions, and personnel tables. Section 8 describes the aircraft systems in detail, and Section 9 provides the TCAS II supplement.
