Q

Propeller Control

A

The propeller control has a detent in the high RPM portion of the operating range which allows for adjustment from 2500 RPM to 2700 RPM. To move the propeller control lever to the LOW RPM position the detent must be passed.

Q

Propeller Governor

A

When the pilot has selected a desired engine RPM, the propeller governor will automatically adjust the pitch of the propeller blades to maintain selected RPM, by varying the oil pressure.

Q

NOTE: Propeller Oil Pressure Loss

A

In case of total oil pressure loss the propeller blades move into coarse pitch (low RPM), thus preventing engine over speed.

WARNING: Fuel Indication

A

Straight and level coordinated flight is required for the most accurate indication of the fuel quantity, but with partly filled tanks each fuel indicator may i.a.w. the technical specifications show as much as 3 1/2 US Gall more than the actual quantity, - and with completely empty tanks indicators may show as much as 2 Gall in each tank.

Q

CAUTION: Battery OFF with Generator ON

A

If battery switch intentionally or unintentionally is turned odd while the generator is charging primary and secondary buses, do not turn battery back on, since it may cause damage to the voltage regulator and thence cause loss of generator power.

20
Q

NOTE: Battery with External Power

A

BAT switch shall be in OFF position when external power is used, otherwise the external power is shut off.

21
Q

NOTE: EPU

A

To operate the Standby Attitude Indicator, the VHF 2 COM radio and the map lights the EPU switch must be switched in ON position. Leaving the EPU in ON after aircraft shutdown could result in EPU battery discharge or damage.

22
Q

CAUTION: EPU with External Power

A

The EPU switch shall be in OFF position whenever external power is connected to the aircraft.

23
Q

Canopy Warning Light

A

The canopy warning system includes two micro-switches installed in the canopy frame.

When the canopy is unlocked and the BAT switch is ON, the red light CANOPY will illuminate. In addition to this warning, also an audio signal sounds, when any of the IGN switches is ON and the canopy is unlocked.

24
Q

Generator Caution Light

A

An amber GEN caution light will illuminate if the voltage of the bus drops below 25 +/- 0,5V.

25
Q

Engine Fire Warning Light

A

A red FIRE ENG caution light will illuminate if the temperature within the engine compartment rises to 275°C.

26
Q

Oil Pressure Warning Light

A

A red OIL PRESS caution light will illuminate if the oil pressure drops below 6,5 +/- 2psi.

27
Q

Fuel Pump Caution Light

A

An amber FUEL PUMP caution light will illuminate if the fuel pump is ON and delivering a minimum fuel pressure of 20 +/- 1psi.

28
Q

Stall Warning

A

The stall warning transmitter is located on the RH wing and the horn will sound 5-10kts above the stalling speed.

29
Q

WARNING: Rudder Pedals

A

Ensure that the locking pins are fully engaged when the rudder pedals have been moved.

30
Q

CAUTION: Elevator Trim

A

Using both trim systems at the same time may cause damage to the system.

31
Q

Wing Flap System (Pre-selected positions)

A

The flaps have 4 pre-selected positions: 0°, 10°, 20° and 38°.

32
Q

Flight Instruments (Pressure Instruments)

A
  • Altimeter
  • Airspeed Indicator
  • Vertical Speed Indicator
33
Q

Flight Instruments (Electrical Instruments)

A
  • Main Attitude Indicator
  • Stand-by Attitude Indicator
  • Radio Magnetic Indicator
  • Turn/Slip Indicator
34
Q

NOTE: Obstructed Static Ports

A

When the aircraft has been exposed to moisture and/or icing conditions (especially on the ground), the possibility of obstructed static ports should be considered. Partial obstructions will result in the rate of climb indication being sluggish during a climb or descent. Verification of suspected obstructions is possible by switching to the ALT STATIC AIR system and noting a sudden sustained change in rate of climb. This may be accompanied by an increase in indicated airspeed of 5-10 kts and altitude changes beyond normal calibration differences.

35
Q

NOTE: Inoperative Altimeter Internal Vibrator

A

If the altimeter’s internal vibrator is inoperable, the pause-and-accelerate effect may be exaggerated. The pilot should be especially watchful for this behavior, when the minimum approach altitude lies within the “8” to “2”, sector of the scale, e.g., 800-1200 feet, 1800-2200 feet, etc.

36
Q

Attitude Encoder/Pneumatic Altimeter Diagonal Warning Signal

A

The diagonal warning symbol appears below 10.000 feet

The CODE OFF warning symbol means that the altitude encoder is inoperative.

37
Q

Attitude Encoder/Pneumatic Altimeter CODE OFF

A

Display of the CODE OFF flag only indicates an encoder power failure or a CODE OFF flag failure. In this event, check that DC power is available, and that the circuit breakers are in. If the flag is still visible, radio contact should be made with a ground radar site to determine, whether the AIMS altitude reporting function is operative, and the remainder of the flight should be conducted accordingly.

38
Q

Main Attitude Indicator

A

The main attitude indicator is a direct reading instrument indicating pitch and bank attitude. Its operational range is +/- 360° both in pitch and bank.

39
Q

Main Attitude Indicator Erection Rate

A

The system will erect the vertical gyro in pitch and roll to the vertical at a saturated erection rate of 2,5° per minute minimum.

40
Q

Main Attitude Indicator Start Up

A

After the instrument has been energized, check that the power supply failure warning flag has disappeared. Within 30 seconds after power has been applied, gently pull the resetting knob. This operation must always be carried out after the instrument has been energized, and regardless of why the instrument was energized.

41
Q

Main Attitude Indicator Resetting

A

In the event of abutment against the stops in pitch during a loop, a deflection can occur. This can be cancelled instantly by a resetting operation, as soon as the aircraft is in level flight once more. Failing this, the error will be absorbed in a few minutes by the action of the erection system.

42
Q

Fire Detection System

A

A fire detection system with a detector is installed in the engine compartment through the right hand rear baffle plate

43
Q

Alternate Air

A

In case of blocking of the induction air intake (ice formation, etc.) the air supply to the engine is automatically drawn from the engine compartment. This alternate air supply, which is unfiltered, has only minor negative effect on the engine performance.

44
Q

NOTE: Exhaust Gas Temperature Indicator

A

During VHF-AM transmissions the EGT-indicator will show a false value caused by radiation from the VHF-AM transmitter.

45
Q

Friction Lock

A

A friction lock located on the LH side of the centre pedestal is used to adjust the friction level of the throttle, mixture and propeller control levers.

46
Q

Carbon Monoxide Indicator

A

Presence of CO will gradually turn the indicator black.

47
Q

NOTE: Fire Extinguisher

A

If the fire extinguisher is used at a short distance and aimed at panels etc., the liquid HALON 1211 may get into the eyes and cause irritation. It is therefore suggested to lower the helmet visor before using the extinguisher.
