Please could someone be so kind as to let me know the correct sequence of the engine computer, thrust reverser and rudder bias checks. I have tried the internet without success and cannot at the moment get the expanded checklist.

This is from the XPC (Collin Proline 21).....don't think there are any differences for a regular 800XP.

Engine Computer, Rudder Bias ………….........................Checked

AIRCRAFT STOPPED AND PARKING BRAKE SET
DO NOT PERFORM ON THE RWY.
- Both engine computers and rudder bias systems must be operative.
- With the thrust levers at idle, check LH and RH thrust reverser ARM
annunciators are illuminated.
Engine Computer, Rudder Bias ………….........................Checked
- Select the engine computers to OFF or OVSPD PROT one at a time
while observing engine limitations.
Be prepared to select AUTO or to close the HP cock if engine control
is lost or any abnormal response is noted.
- Check that ENG 1 CMPTER and ENG 2 CMPTER annunciators
illuminate.
-Advance the RH thrust lever to indicate approximately 80% N2.
(If needed, the thrust may be increased to approximately 75% N1)
- Select the RUDDER BIAS switches to ON and then OFF in turn;
observe that the RH rudder pedal moves forward with each ON
selection.
- Select both RUDDER BIAS switches to ON, then LH T/R lever to
deploy.
- Check rudder bias is inhibited, LH UNLCK and REVRS annunciators
illuminate.
MWS REVERSER annunciator does not illuminate.
- LH T/R lever to stow.
Check that the rudder bias is felt, LH UNLK and REVRS annunciators
are extinguished
and the LH ARM annunciator illuminates.
- Repeat the above procedure for the LH engine, noting that now the
left rudder pedal moves forward with each rudder bias selection.
- Select the RUDDER BIAS switches to ON and guarded; observe that
the RUDDER BIAS annunciator light extinguishes.
- Select the engine computers to AUTO. Observe that the ENG 1
CMPTR and
ENG 2 CMPTR annunciators extinguish.

Enjoy

buzzc152, thank you very, very much. You have made me very happy and helped a lot for a forthcoming test. I will have to learn it again (I did know it once upon a time!) :ok:

- Repeat the above procedure for the LH engine


Should the rudder bias switches be switched off prior to the "Repeat the above procedure for the LH engine"?
Please can anyone familiar with these checks advise me?
