LIGHTS Flashcards
GEN 2, 3 ,4 OR APU GEN OFF
PROBABLE CAUSE: GENERATOR FAILURE, OFF FREQUENCY, OVERVOLTAGE, UNDERVOLTAGE, FEEDER FAULT, SUPERVISORY PANEL FAILURE, TRANSFER RELAY 2 OR 3 FAILURE, OR ASSOCIATED BUS MONITORING SWITCH OFF.
NOTE: IF THE APU GENERATOR CONTROL CB IS OUT, THE APU GEN OFF LIGHT WILL BE ON. AUTOMATIC APU LOAD MONITORING ABOVE 8000 FEET WILL BE DISABLED; HOWEVER, THE GENERATOR WILL ASSUME THE LOAD.
ACTION: USE RESET PROCEDURES (15-2), OR PLACE ASSOCIATED BUS MONITORING SWITCH ON. IF AN ENGINE-DRIVEN GENERATOR LIGHT REMIANS ON STEADY THROUGHOUT REST PROCEDURES, OR GOES OUT MOMENTARILY AND COMES BACK ON, MISSION SHOULD BE ABORTED.
CAUTION: GENERATOR SUPERVISORY PANELS SHALL NOT BE EXCHANGED UNTIL APPROPRIATE MAINTENANCE ACTIONS ARE PERFORMED
TRANSFORMER RECTIFIER OVERHEAT
CAUSE: TR OVERHEATED
ACTION: PULL RESPECTIVE CB. TR 3 LOCATED AT THE FLIGHT STATION AND NOS 1 AND 2 LOCATED AT THE MAIN LOAD CENTER
PRIMARY FUEL PUMP LIGHT OFF DURING START (BETWEEN 16% AND 65% RPM)
PROBABLE CAUSE: FAILURE OF SECONDARY PUMP
ACTION: INVESTIGATE
STARTER CONTROL VALVE OPEN
PROBABLE CAUSE: ENGINE STARTER CONTROL VALVE IS OPEN. (VALVE SHOULD CLOSE AND LIGHT GO OUT WHEN STARTER IS PULLED OUT AT 57 TO 64% RPM DURING NORMAL START.)
ACTION: IF LIGHT REMAINS ON OR COMES ON AFTER START, SECURE ENGINE BY PULLING THE EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN HANDLE
PROP FEATHER BUTTON LIGHT ON
PROBABLE CAUSE: INDICATES FEATHER PUMP RELAY IS CLOSED, SUPPLYING ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE FEATHER PUMP. POSSIBLE INTERNAL LEAKAGE. INCOMPLETE PUMP CUT-OUT CIRCUIT
ACTION: A. IF LIGHT REMAINS ON FOLLOWING ENGINE SHUTDOWN, PULL RESPECTIVE PROP FEATHER CONTROL CIRCUIT BREAKER, AND EXECUTRE THE EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE, PARAGRAPH 15.5.1.
B. IF THE LIGHT REMAINS ON FOLLOWING PRESSURE CUTOUT OVERRIDE, REFER TO INFLIGHT RESTART PROCEDURES, PARAGRAPH 8.33.1.
FAN OUT
PROBABLE CAUSE: CABIN EXHAUST FAN IS INOPERATIVE OR LACK OF AIRFLOW.
ACTIONS: OPEN EQUIPMENT DOORS FOR ADDITIONAL COOLING. USE MINIMUM ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT. IF EDCS ARE INOPERATIVE (NO AIR-CONDITIONING AVAILABLE), OPEN AUX VENT
EDC TEMP HIGH
PROBABLE CAUSE: EDC OIL TEMPERATURE EXCESSIVE. LOW OIL LEVEL IN SUMP. HIGHG ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE.
NOTE: LOW INTENSITY ILLUMINATION OF THE EDC TEMP HIGH LIGHT IS ACCEPTABLE UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY A MASTER PRESS SYS LIGHT.
ACTION: A. CHECK ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE: IF HIGH, CORRECT.
B. IF UNABLE TO CONTRIL, DISCONNECT, MONITOR FOR LOSS OF SPREAD, DUMP, CONTINUE OPERATION.
THE DISCONNECT POSITION SHALL BE SELECTED ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING IN THE NORMAL RPM RANGE.
CAUTION: DISCONNECTING THE EDC OUTSIDE OF NORMAL ENGINE RPM RANGE WILL DAMAGE THE COMPRESSOR.
C. IF SPREAD IS INDICATED AFTER DISCONNECT, EXECUTE THE EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE, PARAGRAPH 15.5.1. IF THE ENGINE IS ALLOWED TO OPERATE DUE TO A GREATER EMERGENCY, THE EDC SHOULD BE DUMPED.
D. REFER TO AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION (IN FLIGHT), PARAGRAPH 15.16.
EDC PRESS LOW
PROBABLE CAUSE: EDC OIL PRESSURE IS LOW. LOW LEVEL IN SUMP. EDC DRIVE SHAFT IS SHEARED.
ACTION: A. WITH LOSS OF SPREAD, DISCONNECT AND DUMP EDC. CONTINUE OPERATION.
B. IF SPREAD IS INDICATED, DISCONNECT, MONITOR FOR LOSS OF SPREAD, DUMP. CONTINUE OPERATION.
THE DISCONNECT POSITION SHALL BE SELECTED ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING IN THE NORMAL RPM RANGE.
CAUTION: DISCONNECTING THE EDC OUTSIDE OF NORMAL ENGINE RPM RANGE WILL DAMAGE THE COMPRESSOR.
C. IF SPREAD IS INDICATED AFTER DISCONNECT, EXECUTE THE EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE, PARAGRAPH 15.5.1. IF THE ENGINE IS ALLOWED TO OPERATE DUE TO A GREATER EMERGENCY, THE EDC SHOULD BE DUMPED.
NOTE: IF ON THE GROUND AND MISSION IS CONTINUED: ENSURE NORMAL RPM SELECTED AND GROUND AIR ON PRIOR TO DISCONNECTING (APU AIR OVERRIDE SELECTED)
D. REFER TO AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION (IN FLIGHT), PARAGRAPH 15.16.
REFHR OVERHEAT
PROBABLE CAUSE: TEMPERATURE IN COOLING DUCT EXCEEDS SAFE LIMITS. ON GROUND: INOPERATIVE HEAT EXCHANGER BLOWER FAN.
ACTION: IN FLIGHT, DUMP EDC. AFTER LIGHT IS OUT, OPERATION IS PERMITTED IN THE MANUAL MODE AT THE TWO-DOT POSITION OR WARMER.
ON DECK, TURN OF GRD AIR COND SWITCH; INVESTIGATE BY CHECKING THE HEAT EXCHANGER CBS ON BUS B AND BLOWER CONT CB ON MON DC. IF CBS ARE SET AND THE LIGHT IS OUT, OPERATION IS PERMITTED IN THE MANUAL MODE AT THE TWO-DOT POSITION OR WARMER.
L OR R WING HOT
PROBABLE CAUSE: AIR TEMPERATURE IN THE WING PLENUM EXCEEDS SAFE LIMITS. MAY BE CAUSED BY A LEAK IN THE BLEED AIR MAINIFOLD OR EDC PLUMBING
ACTION: A. SECURE WING DEICING AND GET OUT OF ICING AREA
B. IF LIGHT REMAINS ON, DUMP APPROPRIATE EDC.
LE HOT
PROBABLE CAUSE: THE WING LEADING EDGE SKIN TEMPERATURE HAS INCREASED IN EXCESS OF 110 DEGREES C. ONE OF THE SIX MODULATING VALVES IS EITHER STUCK OPEN OR IMPROPERLY MODULATING.
ACTION: CLOSE ALL THE BLEED AIR VALVES. LOCATE DEFECTIVE AREA WITH TEMPERATURE SELECTOR. OPEN ALL MODULATING VALVES. WHEN NECESSARY, DEICE THE ENTIRE WING USING THE BLEED AIR VALVES.
EMP DEICE
PROBABLE CAUSE: PARTING STRIP (BUS A) POWER RELAY DE-ENERGIZED, CYCLING POWER RELAY DE-ENERGIZED (BUS B), CONTROL RELAY (EXT MAIN) DE-ENERGIZED, TIMER MOTOR (MON DC) FAILURE, EMPENNAGE OVERHEAT CONDITION. OPEN CONTROL POWER CIRCUIT BREAKER (EXT MAIN)
ACTION: TURN SWITCH OFF THEN ON. IF LIGHT REMAINS ON, TURN SWITCH OFF, INCREASE AIRSPEED ABOVE 200 KIAS; VACATE ICING AREA. IF LIGHT DOES NOT COME BACK ON, TEMPORARY OVERHEAT CONDITION EXISTS. CONTINUE OPERATION.
ANTI ICING
PROBABLE CAUSE: 14TH STAGE AIR OF SUFFICIENT TEMPERATURE TO MELT ICE HAS ENTERED THE TORQUEMETER SHROUD AND THE INLET SCOOP
CYCLING LIGHTS
PROBABLE CAUSE: INDICATES ELECTRICAL POWER IS BEING SUPPLIED TO THE WINDSHIELD PANELS. WHEN LIGHTS ARE OUT, ELECTRICAL POWER IS CYCLED OFF.
ACTION: IF UNABLE TO START CYCLING ON A COLD WINDSHIELD, USE OVERRIDE SWITCH
SIDE WINDSHIELD FAIL
PROBABLE CAUSE: WINDSHIELD POWER RELAY AND/OR OVERHEAT CONTROL RELAY STUCK IN ENERGIZED POSITION WHEN CONTROL SWITCH OFF.
ACTION: PULL SIDE WINDSHIELD HEAT POWER CIRCUIT BREAKER ON MAIN AC BUS A
L OR R HTR OUT
PROBABLE CAUSE: INDICATES ELECTRICAL CURRENT FLOW TO THE PITOT HEATER ELEMENT HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED, OR CURRENT FLOW DETECTOR IS INOPERATIVE.
ACTION: CHECK RESPECTIVE CIRCUIT BREAKER AND BUS. MONITOR EQUIPMENT FOR PROPER OPERATION.
