Q

NOTE associated with HTR HOT caution

A

Since the HTR HOT caution will not extinguish until the temperature in the combustion chamber is below 177°C, it may take several attempts at restarting the heater before the HTR HOT caution deactivates.

Q

Explain the Heating control panel

A
  • Controls heater and vent system, as well as temp of heated air exiting heater
  • BLWR only - #2 AC BUS voltage is connected to the blower for vent operation only
  • OFF position - Power removed from heater system, allows blower to cool and remove fuel and vapor from heater to prevent post shutdown fire
  • HTR start button - immediately starts to purge the heater assembly of fuel or vapors to prevent hot start

16
Q

What does the heater unit provide

A

Provides heat for cold weather operation

17
Q

What does the air pressure switch do

A

Protects the heater by shutting down heater system if sufficient air flow is not available for proper heater operation

18
Q

Purpose of the Avionics cooling thermal switch

A

Activates the blower if temp in the heater compartment rises above 29°C

19
Q

Purpose of the heater electrical blower

A

Draws outside air and recirculates it for heating, ventilating and avionics cooling

20
Q

Explain the avionics inside air intake port

A

Cooler air is drawn in from the cabin area through the avionics air intake port for the purpose of avionics component cooling

21
Q

Explain the heater air intake ducting

A

Air for system is drawn in from inlet port through the intake ducting

22
Q

Purpose of the heater control relay box

A

Contains relays that control the function of the heater and heater HOT caution of the heater system

23
Q

Purpose of the intake port

A

Mounted on the airframe on R/H forward upper side of fuselage just aft of pilot’s jettisonable door

24
Q

25
Q

Explain the pitot heat system

A

Heating elements prevent ice accumulation in pitot tubes and static ports

26
Q

Explain the Windshield anti-ice system

A

Anti-icing is provided for pilot/copilot windshields and defog is for center

27
Q

Explain the windshield wiper system

A

One electric motor operates both wipers through flexible shafts and two windshield wiper actuators

28
Q

Explain the heater and ventilation system

A
  • Ducting carries heated or ventilated air to the cockpit and cabin
