PROPELLER
The propeller governor will automatically adjust the “…”, by varying the oil pressure.
Pitch of the propeller blades to maintain selected RPM
ENGINE FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM
The engine is equipped with an engine driven “…” fuel pump. An electrically driven “…” fuel pump is also incorporated in the fuel system.
Engine driven: Diaphragm fuel pump
Electrically driven: Auxiliary fuel pump
NOTE
Due to the constant speed propeller, opening of the throttle will increase the “…”, not necessarily the RPM.
Manifold pressure
PROPELLER CONTROL
The propeller control has a detent in the high RPM portion of the operating range which allows for how many RPM to how many RPM?
2500 RPM to 2700RPM
ALTERNATE AIR
When is the air supply to the engine automatically drawn from the engine compartment? Does this have effect on the engine performance?
“In case of blocking of the induction air intake (ice formation, etc.)”
“This alternate air supply, which is unfiltered, has only minor negative effect on the engine performance.”
MANIFOLD PRESSURE INDICATOR
How is manifold pressure indicated?
In inches of mercury.
NOTE
During VHF-AM transmissions the “…“-indicator will show a false value caused by radiation from the VHF-AM transmitter
EGT (exhaust gas temperature) indicator
NOTE
In case of total oil pressure loss the propeller blades move into “…”, thus preventing engine over speed.
Coarse pitch (low RPM)
FUEL SYSTEM
Each integral fuel tank has a total holding of?
How many gallons of unusable fuel is per tank?
23,5 US gallons
2,5 US gallons
FUEL SYSTEM
The total of usable fuel is?
42 US gallons
NOTE
From the OFF position the fuel tanks can be selected only by turning the fuel selector which way?
Clockwise
NOTE
What is required for accurate indication of fuel quantity?
Straight and level flight
WARNING
With partly filled tanks how much fuel may each fuel indicator show more than actual quantity? And how much may the indicators show with completely empty tanks?
The technical specifications may show as much as 3,5 US Gall more than the actual quantity.
“and with completely empty tanks indicators may show as much as 2 Gall in each tank.”
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electrical system is powered by an engine driven “…”
How much, in amp, is the maximum output
28V generator
The maximum generator output is 70 amp
MAIN BATTERY
How many volts is the main battery?
24V
NOTE
To operate the “…”, the “…” and the “…” the EPU switch must be switched in ON position. Leaving the EPU in ON after aircraft shutdown could result in EPU “…”
Standby Attitude Indicator, the VHF 2 COM radio and the map lights.
Could result in EPU battery discharge or damage.
CAUTION
If battery is switched OFF when the generator is ON, do not turn the battery switch back on as what?
“It may cause damage to the voltage regulator and thence cause loss of generator power.”
What buses does the generator supply power to?
Primary and secondary.
CAUTION
The EPU must be in “…” position whenever external power is connected to the aircraft.
OFF
NOTE
BAT switch shall be in OFF position when external power is used, otherwise?
The external power is shut off.
CAUTION LIGHTS
What does the amber GEN caution light mean?
Volt under 25 +/- 0,5
CAUTION LIGHTS
What does the red FIRE ENG caution light mean?
275 degrees c in motor
CAUTION LIGHTS
What does the red OIL PRESS caution light mean?
Below 6,5 +/- 2,0 PSI
CAUTION LIGHTS
What does the amber FUEL PUMP caution light mean?
Fuel pressure min 20 +/- 1 PSI
WARNING
Ensure what when the rudder pedals have been moved?
That the rudder locking pins are fully engaged.
CAUTION
Can you use both the electrical and manually trim system at the same time?
No: “Using both trim systems at the same time may cause damage to the system.”
WING FLAP SYSTEM
What four pre-selected positions does the flaps have?
0, 10, 20 and 38 degrees.
STALL WARNING SYSTEM
Where is the stall warning transmitter located and when does the stall warning horn sound?
On the RH wing and at 5-10 kts above stalling speed.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
Name the three pressure instruments.
Altimeter
Airspeed indicator
Vertical speed indicator
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
Name all the electrical instruments.
Main Attitude indicator
Stand-by attitude indicator
Radio magnetic indicator
Turn/slip indicator
NOTE
When the aircraft has been exposed to moisture and/or icing conditions, the possibility of obstructed static ports should be considered. Partial obstructions will result in the rate of climb indication being sluggush during a climb or descent. How do you verify suspected obstructions?
By switching to 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.
ALTITUDE-ENCODER/PNEUMATIC ALTIMETER
When does the diagonal warning symbol appear and what does the CODE OFF warning symbol mean?
Under 10 thousand feet. Altitude encoder is inoperative.
NOTE
If the altimeter’s internal vibrator is inoperative what effect may then be exaggerated? and when should you especially watch for this?
The pause-and-accelerate effect may be exaggerated. The pilot should be watchful of this behavior when the minimum approach altitude lies within the “8” to “2” sector of the scale, e.g., 800-1200 feet.
ATTITUDE ENCODER/PNEUMATIC ALTIMETER
If the CODE OFF is shown, what should you check for?
Check that the DC power is available and the circuit breakers are in. If the CODE OFF is still visible, contact a ground radar site.
STARTING UP THE INSTRUMENT (ATTITUDE INDICATOR)
After the instrument has been energized check for what? And how long after the power has been applied should you pull the resetting knob?
Check that the power supply warning flag has disappeared.
Within 30 seconds after power has been applied.
CARBON MONOXIDE INDICATOR
What color does it turn in the presence of CO?
Black
NOTE
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. What is therefore suggested?
To lower the helmet visor before using the extinguisher.
ATTITUDE INDICATOR
What does the main attitude indicator show?
Pitch and bank attitude with an operational range of 360° in both pitch and bank.
ATTITUDE INDICATOR
Where does the main attitude indicator get power from?
The primary bus
ATTITUDE INDICATOR
What is the erection rate of the main attitude indicator?
The system will erect the vertical gyro at a saturated erection rate of 2.5° per minute minimum.
ATTITUDE INDICATOR
In case a deflection occurs (fx during a loop), it can be cancelled by ______.
Otherwise the error will be absorbed ______________ by the action of the erection system.
“resetting the attitude indicator, as soon as the aircraft is in level flight”.
“in a few minutes”
