Dash 1 Sxn 1 Flashcards
Gross weight fully serviced?
12,800 lbs
What’s the wingspan?
25’ 3”
What is SL std day thrust?
2200 lbs MIL; 3300 lbs MAX
What does the T5 system do?
Modulate the nozzle area to change the exhaust gas to maintain EGR within limits at MIL and MAX
What do engines require for starts?
DC to energize the ignition relay; AC to fire it; compressor motoring low px air supply
Pushing an ENGINE START button does what?
Arms the ignition circuit for approximately 30 s
What does moving the throttle to IDLE do?
Energizes the ignition exciter, firing the igniters, and starting FF to the engine
True/false. Momentarily pressing the ENGINE START button again rests the ignition timer and starts another 30 s timer.
False. It does not. The relay is locked.
Moving the throttle to MAX without an ENGINE START button ignition cycle does what?
Energizes the igniters for 30 s. Returning it below MIL resets the time for the relay. Any ENGINE START button usage disables the ignition relay reset function.
What is responsible for a battery engine start?
AC power from the static inverter
What is a throttle burst?
Movement in 1 s or less from idle to MIL RPM
Where is the throttle cutoff gate?
FCP only. Engines can only be cutpff from the FCP
What 3 things are powered by AC on the EED?
Oil px, fuel qty, fuel flow indicator. Can be shown with DC only power by putting the OXY/FUEL switch to Gage Test or QTY CHECK which gets the static inv working
If the EED starts up below 32 deg F, what is the start time?
up to 5 min. Normally 15 s when warmer.
If EGT exceeds 650 deg C what happens?
If it doesn’t exceed 665 deg C without an EGT OVERTEMP CAUTION, the mission may be continued and it is non latched
What EED items run on DC power?
EGT, nozzle, and rpm
If during INIT/M/S ops with the EED, if there is a 0 value on the display, what does this mean?
A sensor fail
If during INIT/M/S ops with the EED, if there is a FAIL on the display, what does this mean?
internal EED failure
What are aircraft FF limits at MIL power?
2100-2700 pph
Is increased FF during afterburner shown by the fuel flow indicator?
No
During engine shutdown the EED FF indicator should show no higher than what?
60 pph
What must be present to get fuel quantity indications?
Right oil px autosyn (AC)
When do you get the caution FUEL LOW light?
250 lbs or less for more than 7.5 s
What does the display look like for fuel qty gages with fuel imbalance?
no change: 0-50 lbs
white: 60-190 lbs
red: >=200 lbs
If one fuel system works for the EED, will a magenta crossfeed indication still be drawn?
Yes, from the working side. There will be no indication if both indicators are failed
Turning on pitot heat or formation landing lights may do what to the fuel qty?
Make it jump +/- 100 lbs. Changes more than that indicate a fuel quantity probe fail.
An EED HOT indication will do what?
Drop that display brightness by 50% and eventually not power the backlight–however if it is the Master, it still supplies data to the Slave
If there’s an OFF indication on a gage, what does that mean?
Sensor data is not available
What is part of the MFC system?
The Main Fuel Control, engine driven pump, overspeed governor
What does the MFC do?
It is a function of power lever angle (throttle position), T2, CP3, and RPM. It regulates engine speed, protects vs overtemps, stalls, flameouts, provides fuel, and positions the inlet guide vanes and air bleed valves
What is part of the Afterburner system?
Igniter plug, AFC, afterburner fuel pump, AB pilot manifold, AB main manifold
At full MAX position what might be total fuel flow?
7300 pph at rest, 11,400 pph at Mach 1
What does the AFC do?
Provides for consistent AB ops, and regulates the variable engine nozzle (VEN) unless overridden by the T5 amplifier
What is the purpose of the T5 amplifier?
Protects vs engine overtemps and prevents stalls. It overrides the VEN control to OPEN THE NOZZLE to maintain T5 at max allowable temp based on T2 and T5 sensors
What powers the T5 amplifier?
The engine TAC generator (above 75% rpm)
What is the oil system capacity and purpose?
4 qts, 1 qt expansion, venting should not exceed 6 oz/hr, cooling and lubrication
Where does gearbox shift occur?
65-75% rpm range
What does the gearbox operate?
hydraulic pump and AC generator
What does the fire warning and detection system respond to?
Overall average temp or highly localized temps
What can cause a compressor stall?
nozzle mischeduling, throttle bursts, high AoA at low airspeed, FOD, low compressor inlet temps T2, ice, inlet guide vanes etc
What are indications of a compressor stall?
At low altitudes, rapid RPM drop, high EGT
At high altitude, rapid RPM drop, low EGT
What’s the response to a flameout or compressor stall?
Throttle IDLE and press ENGINE START button
What are the indications of a flameout?
Combustion ceases. Engine rpm and EGT rapidly decrease
What is engine nozzle misscheduling (hysteresis)?
Occurs when transitioning from T5 control at MIL power settings. The nozzle area reduces usually between 94-97% rpm. It can be corrected by bringing the throttle back to idle.
Where are the left system fuel cells?
forward fuselage, forward and aft dorsal cells
Where are the right fuel system tanks located?
center and aft fuselage cells
What is in each fuel system?
A fuel boost pump, a fuel filter and bypass, a shutoff valve, fuel px caution lt
What are the four primary fuels?
Jet A/JP 8, Jet B/JP 4
When refueling manually, make sure of what?
That the left system is fueled first to prevent the ac from sitting on its tail due to a cg imbalance
Without aid of boost pump the system can be gravity fuel fed up to what altitude?
MAX power up to 25,000’ MSL normally but guaranteed only to 6,000 with flameouts as low as 7,000
When are LEFT FUEL PRESS/RIGHT FUEL PRESS lights valid ind of boost pump fail?
With crossfeed OFF, fuel shutoff switch normal, and throttle out of OFF
How long does it take for a fuel flow switch to OFF to shut off fuel flow to the respective engine?
approximately 1 sec
With either both boost pumps ON or OFF and crossfeed on what can occur?
A rapid fuel imbalance
If crossfeed ops is continued until the active system runs dry what may occur?
Dual engine flameout
Which cockpit has a CROSSFEED light?
The RCP
When do you get a FUEL LOW caution light?
One fuel indicator reads below 250 lbs after 7.5 sec
