FOOTNOTES:
1. Maximum permissible sustained torque is 1520 ft-lbs. Propeller speeds
(N2) must be set so as not to exceed power limitation.
2. When gas generator speeds are above 72% N1 and oil temperatures are
between 60C and 70C, normal oil pressure is between 85 and 105 psi.
Oil pressures between 40 and 85 psi are undesirable; they should be tolerated only for the completion of the flight, and then only at a reduced power
setting. Oil pressures below 40 psi are unsafe; they require that either the
engine be shut down, or that a landing be made at the nearest suitable airport, using the minimum power required to sustain flight.
3. For increased service life of engine oil, an oil temperature of between 74
to 80C is recommended. A minimum oil temperature of 55C is recommended for fuel heater operation at take-off power.
4. These values are time-limited to two seconds.
5. High ITT at ground idle may be corrected by reducing accessory load and/
or increasing N1 rpm.
6. Cruise torque values vary with altitude and temperature.
7. Reverse power operation is limited to one minute.

Limitations

Model C90GTi

8. High generator loads at low N1 speeds may cause the ITT transient temperature limit to be exceeded. Observe generator load limits.
9. Stabilized propeller operation on the ground between 500 and 1100 rpm is
prohibited. Operation in this range can generate high propeller stresses,
which can cause propeller damage and result in propeller failure and loss
of control of the airplane. The propeller may be operated when feathered at
or below 500 rpm.
10. This value is time-limited to 20 seconds.
11. This value is time-limited to 10 minutes.
12. To account for power setting accuracy and steady state fluctuations, inadvertent propeller excursions up to 1938 rpm are time-limited to 7 minutes.
13. To account for power setting accuracy and steady state fluctuations, inadvertent torque excursions up to 1550 ft-lbs are time-limited to 7 minutes.

EXTERNAL POWER LIMITS

External power carts will be set to 28.0 to 28.4 volts and be capable of generating
a minimum of 1000 amperes momentarily and 300 amps continuously.

GENERATOR LIMITS
The In-Flight Limits are: 100% GENERATOR LOAD and a MINIMUM N1 of 85%
During ground operation, observe the following limitations:

LIMITATIONS ON THE USE OF AVIATION GASOLINE

1. Operation is limited to 150 hours between engine overhauls.
2. Operation is limited to 8000 feet pressure altitude or below with boost
pumps inoperative.
3. Crossfeed capability is required for climbs above 8000 feet pressure altitude.

APPROVED FUEL ADDITIVES

ANTI-ICING ADDITIVE
Engine oil is used to heat the fuel on entering the fuel control. Since no temperature measurement is available for the fuel at this point, it must be assumed to be
the same as the OAT. The graph below is used to determine the minimum oil
temperature required to maintain the fuel temperature above the freezing point of
water, and thus prevent ice accumulations in the fuel control unit. Enter the graph
at the known or forecast OAT and determine the minimum oil temperature
required for each phase of flight. If the anticipated actual oil temperature is not
equal to, or above this minimum temperature, anti-icing additive conforming to
MIL-I-27686 or MIL-I-85470 must be added to the fuel. Refer to Section 4, NORMAL PROCEDURES, for blending procedures.

Section 2
Limitations

Model C90GTi

Prior to refueling, check with the fuel supplier to determine

whether or not anti-icing additive has already been added
to the fuel. If anti-icing additive is required, it must be properly blended with the fuel to avoid deterioration of the fuel
cell sealant. The additive concentration shall be a minimum
of 0.10% and a maximum of 0.15% by volume. To assure
proper concentration by volume of fuel on board, blend
only enough additive for the unblended fuel.

FUEL BIOCIDE ADDITIVE

Fuel biocide-fungicide BIOBOR JF in concentrations of 135 ppm or 270 ppm
may be used in the fuel. BIOBOR JF may be used as the only fuel additive or it
may be used with the anti-icing additive conforming to MIL-I-27686 or MIL-I85470 specification. Used together the additives have no detrimental effect on
the fuel system components.
Refer to the King Air 90 Series Maintenance Manual and the latest revision of
Pratt & Whitney Service Bulletin No. 1244 for concentrations to use and for procedures, recommendations and limitations pertaining to the use of biocidal/fungicidal additives in turbine fuels.

LIMITATIONS WHEN ENCOUNTERING SEVERE ICING

CONDITIONS (REQUIRED BY FAA AD 98-04-24)

Severe icing may result from environmental conditions outside of

those for which the airplane is certificated. Flight in freezing rain,
freezing drizzle, or mixed icing conditions (supercooled 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 airplane.
1. During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed those for which the airplane is certificated shall be determined by the following visual cues. If one
or more of these visual cues exists, immediately request priority handling
