Voyager Vision Jet SF50 Standard Operating Procedures

Introduction

This document should serve as a reasonable tutorial for the aircraft, hopefully with interesting tips along the way.

Before Welcoming passengers

On EFB:

  1. CoversREMOVE

  2. Engine InstrumentsMONITOR

Note Call out N2, ITT, N1 oil pressure when they come alive.

Caution At 25% N2, ensure positive N1 indication Be prepared to abort start If any of the following occur, abort start:

  • ITT exceeds limits (red line)
  • No N1 indication by 25% N2
  • No evidence of lightoff within 8 seconds
  • Low oil pressure after start

Departure Brief

Minimum CAPS altitude is 600ft AGL Between 600 and 2000ft AGL, immediate CAPS, above 2000, use checklist.

Before departing, brief as follows:

Departure RWxx for any malfunction make a complete stop on the runway. From rotation to xxxft MSL for an engine failure we land straight ahead, for an engine fire return to the airport and land. From xxxft yyyft MSL, for any failure we pull CAPS immediately, for fire we turnaround and land. from yyyft msl we can run the appropriate checklist.

Tip Set CAPS altitude as your minimum altitude on the perspective touch for a visual reference.

Before Takeoff

Before takeoff checklist.

  1. Departure BriefingCOMPLETE
  2. Landing LightsA/R

Caution Above 41 °F (5 °C), probe heat may only be ON for 5 minutes (continuous) during ground operations. Extended use in warmer temperatures may damage the composite structure adjacent to the pitot probe.

  1. PROBE HEAT SwitchON
  2. ENGINE IPS SwitchA/R
    1. Tactile ice check, make sure no ice is felt on the wings.

  • 2T
  • Engine instruments
  • Airspeed alive
  • 90 rotate.
  • Positive rate gear up
  • 115knots flaps up.
  • 400ft AGL autopilot available

Climb

Caution Thrust set to Takeoff thrust is limited to 5 minutes maximum. If practical, reduce to MCT within 2 minutes of selecting Takeoff thrust.

Note Due to engine deck angle limitations, the pilot should avoid operation at deck angles of 20° or greater for more than 30 seconds.

Cruise

  1. Ice ProtectionA/R
  • If in RVSM Airspace and Wing/Stab IPS ON: Contact ATC and notify of non-RVSM status.
  1. EISMONITOR

Note: Set wing anti-ice as soon as you see any quantity of ice.

Descent Preparation

If the approach plate has altitude restrictions, the perspective touch software should display a top of descent (TOD). If it doesn't choose and set a reasonable altitude on an arbitrary point. Worst case set elevation altitude at destination.

If VNAV is not working for your approach, use VS to descend at 2000ft/min and compute top of descent accordingly.
