Q
Aircraft Structure Components
A
Fuselage, wing, empennage
7
Q
Fuselage Components
A
- Forward section, radome, nose wheel well, unpressurised equipment locker. 3 left windows are heated. Nose to bulkhead behind pilots.
- Centre section, external diam 269.2 cm, internal diam 248.9 cm
- Aft section, empennage
- Pressurised front of cockpit to rear of baggage
- Main door sealed by 18 psi provided by de ice system. (Forward exit on the 300 is a type 1 door also sealed by 18 psi).
- Emerg doors (and front emerg door in 100) are type 3 compression/bulb sealed doors.
8
Q
Wings
A
- High aspect ratio, single span, cantilevered.
- Integral fuel tanks, engine nacelles, main gear mounts, ailerons, flaps, spoilers.
- Tapered outside the engines with 2.5 degree dihedral.
- Large chord single slotted flaps.
- Trims outboard end of trailing edges.
- Lateral control spoilers behind rear spar augment ailerons for roll control.
9
Q
Empennage
A
- Integral to the aft fuselage.
- The rudder is in two sections, fore and trailing. Fore is supported by hinges from rear vert stab spar. Trail is hinged to trailing edge of fore rudder.
- Trailing rudder deflects twice of the fore rudder.
- Rudders are hydraulically powered.
10
Q
Hori Stab
A
- Full span front and rear spars.
- Partial span centre spar.
11
Q
Elevator
A
- In normal ops they move together. But the pitch disconnect system can allow independent control.
- Each has a spring and trim tab.
- Horn balance contains the mass balance and anti ice electrics.
12
Q
Electrical Power
A
- Primary power is 28 volts DC from 2 engine driven starter generators and 2 transformer rectifier units.
- 2 x 24 volt NiCad batteries are standard.
- DC power receptacle on the LHS nose for a GPU
- 2 eng driven A/C gena provide 115 volt, 3 phase, variable frequency power for certain equipment and the TRUs.
- AC plug on right engine for GPU.
- AC supports the DC through TRUs so all systems can be run by AC power.
- Some equip need fixed AC. Provided by 3 solid state inverters powered by the DC system. 115 volt @ 400 hertz and 26 volt @ 400 hertz.
13
Q
Lighting
A
- All lights are 28 vDC
- Panel and instruments are 5 vDC
- Emerg lighting is 6 vDC charged from batteries charged by 28 vDC.
14
Q
Master Warning System
A
- 28 vDC from RHS essential bus through Caution lights 1 circuit breaker.
- If that fails it is powered by right main bus Caution Lights 2 circuit breaker.
15
Q
Fuel System
A
- Independent L/R system
- 2 wet wing tanks
- Can be pressure or gravity refuelled
- Can check on the ground with Magna sticks in the bottom of the wings.
