CH.2 Flashcards
What is the engine designator
AE 2100D3 turboprop
What are the three major assemblies of the engine
-Power section (two-rotor system with a free power turbine)
-Propeller gearbox (plus propeller)
-Torquemeter (shaft and interconnecting struts)
What is the GMAD and where is it mounted?
Gearbox Mounted Accessory Drive.
Rear of Propeller Gear Box (PGB)
What does the GMAD provide drive pads for?
-Hyd pump
-Oil cooled ac generator
-PGB oil supply and scavenge pump
-Prop high pressure oil pump and overspeed governor
-Prop pitch control unit (PCU)
What is the PUAD and where is it mounted?
Power Unit Accessory Drive.
Bottom of the forward end of the compressor air inlet housing.
What does the PUAD supply mounting flanges for?
-FPMU
-Alternator stator
-Starter
-Power unit lube and scavenge pump
What is the FADEC?
Full Authority Digital Electronic Control
During engine operation, how many FADECs are functioning / in control of the engine and propeller?
Both are functioning, but only one is in control
When does the controlling FADEC switch?
-Each time engine start is initiated with weight on wheels
-FADEC fault
-ALT selection on FADEC control panel
When engine speed reaches approximately ___ percent, the engine PMA supplies electrical power for the FADEC operation
40%
What are the 16 major propulsion system functions performed by the FADEC or MC?
- Prop speed control
- Forward Thrust
- Ground Range
- Reverse Thrust
- GND IDLE Blade Angle vs. Calibrated airspeed
- FADEC autofeather requests
- MC autofeather permission
- FADEC auto ignition and automatic engine shutdown
- MC automatic engine shutdown
- Prop syncrophasing
- Prop underspeed protection
- Reversionary NG control
- Auto start control
- Manual Feathering
- Overspeed protection
- Auto thrust control
NP is governed by up to 2 things
Propeller Blade Angle
and/or
Engine Fuel Flow
When the power levers are forward of FLT IDLE, the FADEC schedule torque as a function of ________
Power lever angle. NP is kept at 100% through blade angle changes
When the power levers are between FLT IDLE and reverse, the FADEC schedules blade angle as a function of ________
Power lever angle. NP is kept at 99% through fuel flow changes
When the power levers are in the reverse range, the FADEC schedules torque as a function of _______
Power lever angle. NP is kept at 101% through blade angle changes
What does blade angle scheduling support?
Engine out stops
The FADEC will request MC permission to autofeather if the power lever is at FLT IDLE or above and any of the following exists
-High power and NP below 73%
-Low NG at low power settings (less than 69%)
- Low HP at high power settings (less than 74% of commanded HP) and decelerating NG (greater than 500 rpm per second)
Which propellers always have MC permission to autofeather without delay?
Outboards. This supports low minimum control speeds.
For inboard props, autofeather permission is granted after a ____ second delay provided the aircraft is below _______ feet and the other engines are running normally
2 second delay
15,500 feet
If these conditions are not met, the FADEC will windmill the prop at 100%. This ensures the inboard propeller autofeathers if an engine fails on takeoff. If all engines flamout at least one inboard propeller will be at 100% RPM supplying electric and hydraulic power
FADEC will try to relight a flamed-out engine, but if a re-light does not occur before NG decreases below ___ percent, the FADEC automatically shuts off fuel to shut down the engine
56%
If all power levers have been equal for approximately ___ seconds, the mission computer looks for one engine HP more than approximately ____ HP above the other three engines
5 seconds
1100 HP
If there is an uncommanded thrust increase on one engine, and its blade angle is above one degree, NG is not significantly decelerating, and NP is greater than ____ percent, the MC commands the FADEC to shut down the engine and feather the prop
60%
MC automatic engine shutdown is disarmed/disabled when the ____ switch is selected OFF
ATCS
The FADEC ___ for engines ___ and ___ are the only FADECs used as the master for propeller syncrophasing
A
engines 2 and 3
