Use of Operating Handbook
The CAE SimuFlite Operating Handbook is both a training aid for the simulator and a
practical tool for the cockpit. This handbook is comprised of four sections.
• The aircraft preflight section (PF-pages) are inserted in vinyl sleeves for increased
durability and ease of page replacement. This section is an abbreviated listing of
major items to be checked on preflight inspection.
• The normal procedures section (N-pages) are inserted in vinyl sleeves for
increased durability and ease of page replacement. The checklists provided are
CAE SimuFlite-developed Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). If your company
has its own SOP, you may replace the CAE SimuFlite SOP with your own SOP.
• The flight planning section (F-pages) contains charts and graphs to facilitate flight
planning.
• The emergency/abnormal procedures section (E-pages) contains checklists for
emergency and abnormal situations. All immediate action (memory) items are
printed in red; procedures with immediate action items also have red titles.
This section may be accessed in one of three ways: by table of contents
(EMER tab, front), by system tab (front), or by numbered tab (back).
If you are accessing a procedure by the table of contents or by system,
simply place your thumb on the proper tab and open the book. For
example, place your thumb on the EMER tab and open the handbook;
the E-pages table of contents is displayed.
If you are accessing the procedures by cockpit indication, reference the
back page of this handbook. Locate the appropriate item and note the
number in the adjacent circle. Next, locate the similarly numbered tab;
place your thumb on that page and open the handbook. The procedure
will be on one of the two pages now open or immediately following.
DEFINITIONS
Land As Soon As Possible: Land at the nearest suitable airport. Extreme situations
could require an off-airport landing. Primary consideration is safety of occupants.
Land As Soon As Practical: Land at a suitable airport. Primary consideration is the
urgency of the emergency or abnormal situation. Continuing to the destination or an
alternate with appropriate service facilities may be an option.
WARNING: An operating procedure, technique, etc., that may result in personal
injury or loss of life if not carefully followed.
CAUTION: An operating procedure, technique, etc., that may result in damage to
equipment if not carefully followed.
NOTE: An operating procedure, technique, etc., considered essential to
emphasize.
NOTICE: This King Air 300 Operating Handbook is to be used for aircraft familiarization
and training purposes only. It is not to be used as, nor considered a substitute for, the
manufacturer’s Pilot or Maintenance Manuals.

If abnormal readings:
2. Affected Engine — PRECAUTIONARY ENGINE SHUTDOWN (page E-3)
SIMUFLITE TIP
Engine shutdown is at pilot's discretion. Suggest bringing power lever to
IDLE and Prop Lever to FEATHER to maintain engine accessory drive.
If confirmed:

Airstarts may not be possible above 30,000 ft. Above 20,000 ft, starts
tend to be hotter. During engine acceleration to idle, it may become nec-
essary to move the condition lever periodically to FUEL CUT-OFF to
avoid an overtemperature condition.
If conditions permit, EFIS power should be turned off prior to accom-
plishing STARTER-ASSIST checklist.

(OPERATIONS OUTSIDE FAR 25, APPENDIX C)
The pilot’s alternate static air source should be used when normal
static air source has been obstructed. Partial obstructions of static
ports result in sluggish rate of climb indication during climb or descent.
1. Pilot’s Static Air Source — ALTERNATE
2. Airspeed Calibration/Altimeter Correction — SEE AFM
Ensure static air valve is in NORMAL when alternate system is not
needed.
