Intro to T-6A Systems SY101 Flashcards
Primary flight controls
Elevator, Ailerons, Rudder, Gust lock
Elevator
Controls movement around the Lateral (Pitch) axis
Ailerons
Controls movement around the Longitudinal (Roll) axis
Rudder
Controls movement around the Vertical (Yaw) axis
Gust lock
Locks controls to prevent wind damage
Define Secondary flight controls
Lessens control forces required to maintain flight attitude
Define Primary flight controls
Control aircraft movement around lateral, longitudinal, vertical axes
Secondary Flight controls
Elevator trim, aileron trim, rudder trim, Trim aid device(TAD)
Trim Aid device (TAD)
Gives more “jet-like” aircraft performance to ease transition to follow-on aircraft
What does the Propulsion system do?
Provides power (thrust) for aircraft Provides power for aircraft systems such as electrical, hydraulics, and fuel pumps
What does the hydraulic system operate?
Operates Landing gear, main gear doors, flaps, speed brake and nose wheel steering
What does the Electrical System do?
Provides electrical power for aircraft systems
Primary power from starter/generator
Secondary power from battery
Backup power from auxiliary battery
External power through fuselage receptacle
What does the fuel system do?
Provides fuel storage
Provides fuel feed to engine
Automatically maintains balance between tanks
What is an Environmental System?
Acceptable cockpit environment
Automatic temperature and pressurization control

What are the Primary Flight Instruments?
Electronic Attitude Director Indicator (EADI)
Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI)
Airspeed Indicator
Altimeter
Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI)
What are the Standby flight Instruments?
Airspeed Indicator Attitude Indicator Altimeter Turn and bank Indicator Magnetic Compass
Characteristics of the T-6A Canopy
Side opening
Provides pressure and weather seal
Fracturing system for ejection and emergency ground egress
Protects pilots from bird strikes
Define the Ejection system and the characteristics
Provides means of safe e scape for students and instructor
- Martin-Baker ejection seats
- Seats eject from cockpit by gas cartridges
- Altitude provided by rocket motor at top of seat rails
