17
Q

Caution asscoiated with Low Pressure pump

A

LP PMP - Fuel pressure drops below 35 PSI

18
Q

What type of fuel system does T45 have?

A

Flow scheduling type with acceleration control

19
Q

What schedules fuel and how does it do it?

A
  1. Fuel Control Unit
  2. Uses throttle position and compensates the flow for
    1. Altitude
    2. Airspeed
20
Q

What controls engine acceleration?

A
  1. 75 GPH shot of fuel solenoid
  2. Throttle valve dashpot and hydromechanical acceleration swithc
21
Q

What does the shot of fuel solenoid do?

A

Provides increased fuel flow to reduce engine aceleartion time and provide improved engine surge contorl

22
Q

What does the throttle valve dashpot do?

A

Ensures that the throttle valve opens at a rate to give the max stall free acceleartion regardless of the rate of throttle movement.

23
Q

Shot of fuel solenoid altitudes of operation

A
  1. Always open below 7200’ MSL
  2. Open on the ground and remains open until climbing through 9500 ±300’MSL and reopens when descending 7700±500’ MSL
  3. Acuated to approach mode when below 6500’
24
Q

When does MFUEL caution come on?

A

When manual fuel system is selected

25
Q

How does manual fuel system work?

A

The system bypasses the control elements downstream of HP pump.

There is no automatic control of

  1. N1
  2. N2
  3. EGT

All fuel metering is done with direct conection to throttle setting

26
Q

How is engine operation different when using the manual fuel system vs the main fuel system?

A
  1. Airstarts may require throttle modulation due to bypassing of the Sub Idle Fuel Control Unit (SIFCU)
  2. Retarding the throttle to IDLE results in lower than normal idle N2 rpm
  3. Dashpot accel is inop so engine accel at lower altitude are significantly slower than usual
    1. ​at higher altitudes it will be faster
  4. ​Bleed valveremains closed at all engine speeds expect during airstat when it is held open with60 second timer
  5. To keep N1 within limits
    1. N2 RPM should not exceed 95% below 20,000’ MSL
    2. -or- 90% above 20,000’ MSL
27
Q

Can you start the engine with the manual fuel system?

A

No NATOPS prohibits

28
Q

Can you switch to MFUEL with complete loss of electrical power?

A

No.

29
Q

What is the SIFCU and what does it do?

A

Sub Idle Fuel Control Unit and it meters fuel to spray nozzles during the start cycle

30
Q

What is the ECA and what does it do?

A

Engine Control Amplifier and it automatically prevents overspeed and overtemp conditions by controling fuel flow.

31
Q

What does the ECA monitor?

A

N1 shaft speed and two sets of thermocouples located behind the N1 turbine section

32
Q
A
33
Q

What sets off the EGT/RPM caution light?

A

When ECA reads EGT > 650±8*C or N1 >112.4±1%

34
Q

What is the total oil capacity?

A

25.2 US pints

35
Q

How much is the unusable oil?

A

9.6 US pints

36
Q

Max Oil Consumption

A

Max oil consumption rate is 0.8 US pint/hour

37
Q

How many sacavenge pumps are there?

A

3

38
Q

How does the OIL PRESS warning work?

A

If the differential of the scavenge oil and the internal gearbox drops below 10 PSI

39
Q

How many igniters are there?

A

Two 12 joul dc ignition units

40
Q

What controls the ingntion?

A

ECA and starter control unit

41
Q

Weight on wheels ignition conditions

A
  1. The GTS start button is pressed, ignition ceases immediately when the button is released
  2. The ENGINE switch is set to START and the READY advisory lightis on.
    1. Ignition is continuous until the engine reaches 45% RPM or after 45 seconds when igntion terminated and GTS returns to idle
42
Q

When is ignition provided in the air? (Weight off Wheels)

A
  1. GTS start button is pressed and continues for 30 seconds after the button is released
  2. ENGINE switch is set to START and the READY advisory light is on. Ignition is continuous until engine reaches 45% N1 or after 45s when ignition auto terminated and GTS idles
