Engine System (CSG) Flashcards
What does “Free Turbine” mean?
AOH Vol 2, Engine
The PT6A-67B is flat rated to 1,200 SHP at takeoff power. What does “flat rated” mean?
- Max SHP/Engine limits reduced to prevent structural damage, extend engine life, and permit max takeoff power over wide range of ambient conditions.

What components are installed in the accessory gearbox?
Starter/Generator, FCU, High/Low press fuel pumps, fuel/oil heat exchanger, Oil scavenge and pressure pumps
AOH Vol 2, Engine
The engine uses approximately 25% of bleed air for combustion. Name at least five other uses for bleed air.
ECS, Pressurization, De-ice boots, FCU, Cooling, Bleed Valve,
Sealing bearing compartment

Protection
What does the compressor bleed valve do?
Prevents compressor stalls during engine acceleration from low engine speeds.
Pratt and Whitney “Know your PT6A

What does the reduction gearbox do?
Reduces turbine speed from ~30,000 RPM to prop shaft speed of
1700 RPM (or less) through two stages of gear reduction

Engineering Notes
What does the torque limiter do?
Bleeds Py air from FCU to reduce engine speed and keep engine torque below 44.3 psi
