Q

RPU

A

Rotor Positioning Unit - A hydraulically operated drive speed reduction unit, mounted on the Midwing Gearbox (MWGB). Its primary purpose is to rotate the proprotor blades to the desired position for BFWS operations.

Q

What is the primary indication that the wing is in flight ready or full stow condition

A

Lockpins and 57 degree switches; 4 wing lockpins are reequired to be engaged in the flight ready position. There are 2 lockpin indicators on each side of the fuselage

Q

Resolver Select Key on the BFWS SYST Layer

A

Monoplane sensors determine the rotor azimuth and speed for the BFWS. This key is used to select either the left or right resolver in the event of ROTOR POSITION UNKNOWN or ROTOR POSITION RESOLVER DISAGREE

Q

BFCU

A

Blade Fold Control Unit - Actuates the Blade Fold Relay Assembly to control the blade fold operation

17
Q

Blade Fold Relay Assembly

A

Interfaces with the Cockpit Management System (CMS) to regulate, sequence, and control signals from the CMS to the BFWS system

18
Q

BFWS Power Module

A

Mounts inside the blade bolt and has an electric motor and gear train that folds the blade

19
Q

Blade Fold Sensors

A

Detects when blade fold is complete and sends a message to the MC

20
Q

Shear pin sensor

A

Sense a system jam an prevent overloading of the blade actuator assembly by stopping the blade fold sequence when a jam is sensed. There are 2 sensors per blade

21
Q

Blade Latch Pin Sensor

A

Lock the blade in flight position and react to blade beam wise loads

22
Q

Capstan Drive Actuator

A

Winds the cable to rotate the stow ring and wing. Has a mechanical connection to allow manual wing stow in case of electrical or hydraulic failure

23
Q

What will improve BFWS performance in cold weather

A

Preheating of the midwing gearbox area above 29 degrees C

24
Q

What conditions will trigger BFWS NOT FLIGHT RDY Caution

A
  1. Wing is not locked2. Left BFCU is operational and left blades are not unfolded3. Right BFCU is operational and right blades are not unfolded4. RPU is either coupled or locked5. BFWS is in progress and BFWS deadman switch is not enabled
25
Q

What conditions trigger BFWS FAULT Advisory

A
  1. Rotor Phase unit fail2. BFWS in progress and Flight ready switch, stow switch or 57 degree switch has failed.
26
Q

BFWS FAULT Advisory Procedure

A

Monitor EICAS for BFWS NOT FLT RDY

27
Q

BFWS NOT FLIGHT RDY Caution Procedure

A
  1. Maneuver Severity - Reduce2. Land as soon as possible
28
Q

What powers the BFWS

A

The utility subsystems portion of HYD 3

29
Q

Procedure if you get BFWS Halt

A

Contact maintenance regardless of the reason for the halt
