Q

What are the standard operating modes for AHRS?

A

Normal-attitude and Slaved-heading

17
Q

What are the reduced operating modes for the AHRS?

A

Basic-attitude and DG-heading

18
Q

What is the basic mode of the AHRS? And what are the limitations for take off in a reduced operating mode of the AHRS?

A

Basic operates conventional gyro with increase in airspeed will show slight climb.

Limitation for takeoff prohibited

19
Q

How do you disengage autopilot?

A

YD or AP switch off, AP DISENG on control wheel, GA (red button), stall warning test switch

20
Q

What will cause the landing gear warning horn to sound?

A
  1. Flaps>10 degrees, autofeather system off, and power levers below takeoff setting
  2. Both power levers are at or near flight idle and KIAS <130
  3. One power lever at or near FLT IDLE, other power lever advanced, KIAS < 130, horn switch not latched at mute
21
Q

When will the takeoff warning horn sound?

A

Weight on wheels with either torque gage above 50% and one of the following conditions

Engine ECU not at TOP
Elevator trim out of takeoff range
Parking brake set to park
One or both condition levers not at max
Flaps extended more than 15 or less than 5 degrees
22
Q

BBPU?

A

Provides the DC generators and batteries with automatic overload protection from a bus fault also monitors generator output through the GCUs, prevents the two main/secondary bus ties from closing, isolating the bus, after 7 to 10 seconds the BBPU will disconnect the affected generator MAIN BATTERY or AUX BATTERY caution light and related #1 DC GEN or #2 DC GEN caution light comes on.

23
Q

DC logic

A

controls the 4 bus tie contractors to connect the appropriate feeder buses together when there are one or more DC power sources not operating.
