1 PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY

1.1 This Flight Standardization Board Report (FSB) specifies FAA master training, checking, and currency requirements applicable to crews operating Convair 340 and 440 aircraft modified with the Allison 501 Turboprop Engine. Provisions of the report include:

1.1.1 Defining pilot "type rating(s)" assigned to these aircraft.

1.1.2 Describing "Master Common Requirements" (MCR) applicable to all these aircraft.

1.1.3 Describing "Master Differences Requirements" (MDR) for crews requiring differences qualification for mixed fleet-flying or transition.

l.l.4 Providing examples of acceptable "Operator Difference Requirement (ODR) Tables

1.1.5 Describing acceptable training program and training device characteristics necessary to establish compliance with pertinent MDR tables.

1.1.6 Minimum requirements which must be applied by FAA field offices, (i.e. MCR, MDR, Type Rating designations, etc,).

1.1.7 Information which is advisory in nature, but may be mandatory for particular operators if the designated configurations apply and if approved for that operator (i.e. MDR footnotes, acceptable ODR Tables).

1.1.8 Information which is used to facilitate FAA review of an aircraft type or variant proposed for use by an operator.

NOTE: Various sections within the report are qualified as to whether compliance is required considering the provisions of AC 120-53, or is advisory in nature.

1.2 The Basic STC is SA41100 for the Convair 340 and 440 Allison Supplemental Type Certificate , STC SA1825 NM is the Propeller conversion, with Allison Turbo-Prop Engines 501-Dl3D/H and Allison 501-D22G referred to, respectively, as the CV-580 and the CV-580s (Super CV-580). Allison Supplemental Type Certificate, SA6088NM, with the Allison 501-D22H Engine, stretched fuselage, and modernized Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) and is referred to as the "CV-5800".

1.3 There are no previous FSB reports relative to the above Allison Supplemental Type Certificates. This report addresses only models CV-580, CV-580s, and CV-5800. Provisions of this report are effective until amended, superseded or withdrawn by subsequent FSB determinations.

1.4 Terminology.

1.4.1 The term "must" is used in this report and certain MDR footnotes even though it is recognized that this FSB report, and Advisory Circular AC 120-53 upon which it is based, provides one acceptable means, but not necessarily the only means of compliance with FAR 121 Subpart N and 0 requirements. This terminology acknowledges the need for operators to fully comply with this FSB report MDR and ODR provisions if AC 121-53 is to be used by the operator as the means of complying with FAR 121. Operators who choose this method must comply with each applicable MDR provision including footnotes.

2 PILOT "TYPE RATING" REQUIREMENTS

2.1 The pilot type rating for all models addressed in this report has been established as CV-A340, CV-A440.

3 "MASTER COMMON REQUIREMENTS" (MCR)

3.1 Autopilot Engage Altitudes (FAR 121.579).

The CV-580, CV-580s, and CV-5800 autopilot may be engaged after takeoff at or above 500 feet AGL.

3.2 Minimum Altitude For Autopilot Use During Non Precision Approaches (FAR 121.579).

Autopilot may be used at or above 500 feet AGL.

3.3 Landing Minima Categories (FAR 97.3).

All variants are Category C for all approaches, both straight in and circling.

3.4 No Flap Approach.

Demonstration of a No Flap Approach is applicable for all variants.

4 "MASTER DIFFERENCE REQUIREMENTS" (MDR)

4.1 MDR Tables.

Requirements for particular Variant Combinations are shown in Appendix 1. These provisions apply when differences between variants exist which affect crew knowledge, skills, or abilities (e.g. Level A or greater differences).

5 ACCEPTABLE "OPERATOR DIFFERENCE REQUIREMENTS" (ODR) TABLES

5.1 ODR Tables.

ODR tables are to be developed by each individual operator. Sample tables for operators conducting mixed fleet operations are shown, if available, in Appendix 2. These ODR Tables are provided as samples and do not include all possible combinations.

5.2 Distribution of FAA Approved ODR Tables.

Distribution of the FAA Approved ODR Tables should be as follows: Original FAA approved ODR Tables are to be retained by the operator; Copies of FAA approved ODR Tables are to be retained by the Certificate Holding District Office (CHDO) and provided to the CV580/580s/5800 Flight Standardization Board (FSB) Chairman, Long Beach AEG, (LGB AEG).

6 FSB SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRAINING

6.1 General.

6.1.1 Numerous training programs exist for any one CV-580 variant alone and have already been approved by numerous Principal Inspectors. Principal Inspectors of operators initially introducing a CV-580/580s/5800 may approve programs consistent with programs approved for any one variant (e.g. an operator introducing a fleet of CV-580s with no differences between any of the individual aircraft).

a) When such programs are approved, operators should be aware that if variants are to be added or differences are to be introduced, ODR table development and FAA approval is necessary prior to operation of those aircraft with differences.

b) For information regarding previously approved programs, FAA Principal Inspectors of other existing CV-580/580s/5800 operators may be consulted. In the event of uncertainty regarding evaluation of a proposed program, the CV-580 FSB Chairman should be consulted.

6.1.2 CV-580/580s/5800 Mixed Fleet Programs.

Programs with more than one variant of the CV-580/580s/5800, or combinations require differences training programs meeting criteria specified by MDR tables, or must have alternate approval as prescribed by Section 12 of this report.
