CESSNA SECTION 4<br />

MODEL 208B G1000 NORMAL PROCEDURES<br />

TAXIING<br />

POWER Lever BETA range can be used during taxi to control taxi<br />

speed and improve brake life. A leaf spring is installed in the control<br />

quadrant which the POWER Lever contacts and provides the pilot with<br />

a noticeable "feel". With the POWER Lever moved to this position in<br />

the BETA range, the propeller is near zero thrust in a static, 52% idle<br />

condition. Besides acting as a zero thrust reference during taxi, this<br />

POWER Lever position (lever against spring) is used after landing to<br />

minimize brake wear. POWER Lever movement further aft of the BETA<br />

range will result in increased engine power and reverse thrust from the<br />

propeller blades.<br />

CAUTION<br />

• The use of reverse thrust should be minimized,<br />

especially on unprepared surfaces, to minimize<br />

propeller blade erosion and possible damage.<br />

• Do not leave the POWER Lever in the BETA range<br />

for extended periods (greater than 30 seconds)<br />

when parked with a right crosswind to avoid damage<br />

to the cargo pod.<br />

NOTE<br />

During low-speed taxi with a strong tailwind, or when<br />

stopped with a strong tailwind, a moderate vibration can<br />

occur as a result of reverse airflow through the propeller<br />

disk with the blades at a positive pitch angle. This vibration<br />

can be significantly reduced by placing the POWER Lever<br />

in the BETA range, or it can be eliminated by turning the<br />

airplane into the wind.<br />

Refer to the Taxiing Diagram figure for additional taxiing instructions.<br />
