Some of them enable the flight crew to manage the flight while maintaining some margins from critical areas, whereas others are mainly used for navigational and performance optimization purposes.Operating speeds are built from limit speeds and margins application (multiplicator-coefficients)to determine the flight envelope of the aircraft.

The avionic suite provides 2 selectable speeds:- AUTO speed: (magenta bug on the PFD speed scale) is the managed speed computed by the FMS. It depends on: flaps lever, power management, normal/icing conditions, number of operative engines.This managed speed ensures safe speeds to operate the aircraft in all flight phases.AUTO speed is upper limited by maximum speed (V ) and lower limited by operational max minimum speed (V ).min OPS- MAN speed: (cyan bug on the PFD speed scale) is the pilot manual selected speed.NoteRefer to CONTROLS for more details on PFD indicationsDOWNLOADED LIM.3

AFM DATA WARNING SEVERE ICING MAY RESULT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF THOSE FOR WHICH THE AIRCRAFT IS CERTIFICATED. FLIGHT IN FREEZING RAIN, FREEZING DRIZZLE, OR MIXED ICING CONDITIONS (SUPER COOLED LIQUID WATER AND ICE CRYSTALS) MAY RESULT IN ICE BUILD UP ON PROTECTED SURFACES EXCEEDING THE CAPABILITY OF THE ICE PROTECTION SYSTEM, OR MAY RESULT IN ICE FORMING AFT OF THE PROTECTED SURFACES. THIS ICE MAY NOT BE SHED USING THE ICE PROTECTION SYSTEMS, AND MAY SERIOUSLY DEGRADE THE PERFORMANCE AND CONTROLLABILITY OF THE AIRCRAFT.●The following weather conditions may be conducive to severe in-flight icing:- Visible rain at temperatures close to 0 °C ambient air temperature (SAT)- Droplets that splash or splatter on impact at temperatures close to 0 °C ambient air temperature (SAT) ●During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed those for which the aircraft is certificated are determined by the following: - Ice covering all or a substantial part of the unheated section of either side window, and/or - Unable to reach or maintain target speed, and/or - The following secondary indications:o Water splashing and streaming on the windshield o Unusually extensive ice accumulated on the airframe in areas not normally observed to collect ice o Accumulation of ice on the lower surface of the wing, aft of the protected area o Accumulation of ice on the propeller spinner farther aft than normally observed.●Operations in severe icing conditionsIf one of these fact is observed, immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic Control to facilitate a route or an altitude change to exit the icing conditions. Apply procedure specified in the Emergency Procedures chapter, Refer to EMERGENCY PROCEDURES.The autopilot may mask tactile cues that indicate adverse changes in handling characteristics. So, the use of the autopilot is prohibited when: - Severe icing defined above exists, or- Unusual lateral trim requirements are encountered while the aircraft is in icing conditions, or - Autopilot trim warnings are encountered while the aircraft is in icing conditions.DOWNLOADED LIM.4 INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

34.4.1 PBN OPERATION¶
AFM DATAFor all PBN operations listed here-in:- If the missed approach procedure is based on conventional means (NDB, VOR, DME), all related navigation equipment must be installed and serviceable. - The associated ground based navaids must also be operational.Prior to start a RNP2 operation, the flight crew must set manually RNP value to 2 NM in the FMS. At the end of the operation, the flight crew must clear manual RNP value to restore RNP value auto setting.The FMS 220 is RF leg capable for RNAV/RNP operations.NoteFor all RNAV operations listed here above, the Fault Detection & Exclusion (FDE) or the Receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) must be functional. For all RNP operations described here above, the FDE (or RAIM) and the on-board performance monitoring and alerting capabilities must be functional.
34.5 TCAS#### 34.5.1 Limitations¶
AFM DATAThe limitations in Section LIM are applicable with the addition of the following:1) TCAS operation is approved for use in VFR meteorological conditions (VMC) and IFR meteorological conditions (IMC). 2) The flight crew must not initiate escape maneuvers using information from the traffic display only or from a traffic advisory (TCAS) only. These displays and advisory are designed only for assistance in visually locating the traffic and do not have the resolution necessary for use in evasive maneuvering. 3) When an RA occurs, the pilot flying shall respond immediately to RA displays and aural alerts, maneuvering as indicated, unless doing so would jeopardize the safe operation of the aircraft.CAUTION Once a non crossing RA has been issued the vertical speed should be accurately adjusted to comply with the RA, in order to avoid negating the effectiveness of a coordinated maneuver by the intruder. 4) Escape maneuvering should be made with the autopilot disengaged, and limited to the minimum required to comply with the RA. The flight crew must immediately return to the previous ATC clearance when the TCAS “CLEAR OF CONFLICT“ voice message is announced. 5) Before performing RA’s climb or increase climb, the flight crew should select the appropriate engine power setting on the power MGT selector and, if necessary, manually adjust CL 1+2.6) When a climb or increase climb RA occurs with the aircraft in the landing configuration or in the go-around phase, a normal procedure of go-around should be followed including the appropriate power increase and configuration changes.7) Because of the limited number of inputs to TCAS for determination of aircraft performance inhibits, there are instances where inhibiting RA’s would be appropriate, however it is not possible to do so. In these cases, TCAS may command maneuvers which may significantly reduce stall margins or result in stall warning. Conditions where this may occur include operations with a bank angle (wings level is assumed), weight, altitude, and temperature combinations outside those noted below, leaving aircraft in landing configuration during climb RA on approach, engine out operation, and abnormal configurations such as landing gear not retracted or stick pusher/shaker failure. The table (Refer to LIM.5.34.5.2 Climb Resolution Advisory Flight Envelope) outlines the parameters used in the development of the performance inhibits. This table does not consider worst turboprop flight conditions particularly operation using minimum operation airspeeds as are sometimes required (e.g. obstacle clearance or ATC constraints). In all cases, stall warning must be given in priority over climb RA commands. Note TCAS is viewed as a supplement to the flight crew who, with the aid of the ATC system, has the primary responsibility for avoiding mid-air collisions.WARNING PRIORITY MUST BE GRANTED TO INCREASING AIRSPEED WHEN REACHING STALL WARNING EVEN WHEN THIS REQUIRES DEVIATION FROM AN RA COMMAND ISSUED BY THE TCAS.
