When do L/R Ignition on activate?
Engine start switch or with auto ignition on below 17% TRQ
When is it normal for L/R No Fuel XFR to activate?
When ignition is activated (delayed 11 +- 2 secs) or when crossfeeding fuel (the side receiving fuel closes)
How does the rudder boost work?
Senses TRQ in both engines, when the difference exceeds 30% the yaw servo activates up to maximum deflection with 80% TRQ difference
Describe the flap system
Fowler-type flaps which is controlled by a single electric motor
Asymmetrical flap protection - how does it work?
Asymmetrical flap switch system will disable the flap motor when 3-6 degrees of split occurs between both flaps on the same wing. This causes the cam to slip off the switch and will remove power from the flap motor.
How does the ATTITUDE AND HEADING REFERENCE SYSTEM (AHRS) work?
It provides pitch, bank and magnetic heading data.
Magnetic heading is provided by separate magnetic sensors in opposite sides of the horizontal stabiliser
Attitude is from two attitude and heading computers (AHC) Each system has an inertial measurement unit. The AHC has a primary and secondary power supply, if the secondary power fails the primary continues to power for 10 mins then fails. If the primary fails it will be instant. No indication maybe a tripped circuit breaker. If failed, AHRS reversionary can be used.
Where does the Air Data Computers (ADC’s) get input?
-Ram air pressure from pitot mast
-Static pressure from static ports
-Air temp
Left pitot + left top and right bottom static ports supplies ADC 1 (PFD + MFD)
Right pitot + left bottom and right top static port supplies ADC 2 (Right PFD + ESIS)
Why is RVS NOT READY activated?
When the props are not fully forward but the gear is down. Reverse can still be used but the fuel topping governor would limit the amount available.
