runway at VR. This way you're much more
likely to keep the wings level during the
initial climbout. Also critical is their advice
to avoid the wing-down, opposite rudder method when landing in crosswinds.
Instead, land in a crab. Why? The Legacy
500's wings are swept, and their tips are
close to the ground. Engineers built in a
small amount of crosswind control capability, but not enough to prevent a wing strike
if you're not careful; a mere 10 degrees of
bank can cause a wing strike.
Subsequent days brought more V1 cuts,
more systems abnormalities, icing, wind
shear, and lower weather. Topping it all off
was a full-blown electrical emergency. This is
where a second crewmember becomes essential. As the pilot flying, you'll be busy enough
using the smallish standby flight instrument
to track inbound to a runway. Remember, you
have no autopilot and no autotrim. That second crewmember becomes vital to verifying
the ram air turbine's extension; writing down
localizer frequencies and inbound courses;
lowering the landing gear; and setting up the
sole, center display's moving map for situational awareness.

activity in the darkened cockpit. I get the
feeling he does this all the time. Oh, and
did I mention that the weather was onehalf-mile visibility with a 100-foot ceiling?
FBW detractors may point to this scenario with scorn. But an emergency like
this would be extremely rare, let alone
one that would bring a Legacy dead in the
water, electrically speaking. For that to
happen, both engine-driven generators
would have to fail. Then the APU generator would have to fail. Then the ram air
turbine would either fail to deploy automatically, or fail once it did deploy. Then
both the airplane's main batteries would
have to exhaust themselves, which happens in 30 to 45 minutes. Finally, the ship's
two emergency batteries-one for the flight
control system, one for the standby flight
instrument-would have to die (another
15 minutes.) Through all this, the engines
would continue to operate. Differential
power could be used to steer, and power
increases and decreases could be used for
shallow climbs and descents. Dire? Yes-
Sioux City dire. But odds are against it.
By checkride day, I'd flown 14 hours in
the left seat, two hours in the right, 18 night
takeoffs, 16 night landings, 16 precision

approaches, five nonprecision approaches,
and six holds. Except for the nerves, the
oral exam and practical checkride-which
lasted almost four hours-were almost
anticlimactic. Sure, I muffed up a couple times, but I made some saves and the
examiner pronounced me qualified.
In the market for a Legacy 450 or 500?
If so, you're certain to find the type rating
experience one of the highlights of your
flying career. You'll drink from the fire hose
of learning, but walk away standing a little
taller.

READY FOR A PROBLEM during

takeoff? With a V1 cut (below), the
airplane will want to drift off the
extended runway centerline; it's
your job to add enough rudder and
aileron to climb straight ahead. Flyby-wire control laws automatically
provide most of the corrective
control inputs, but the pilot still has
to add control force to finesse the
maneuver and bring the airplane
to a zero-sideslip condition. It's
Embraer's way of tweaking the
flight control software so the pilot
is always in the loop.
