Three Sensors: N2A - transmitted directly to the pilot’s NR gauge (triple-tach)
N2B, N2C - transmitted to the FADEC and VEMD for N2 speed control and overspeed protection.

Power turbine is mechanically independent from the Gas Generator turbine. Accessories driven by the power turbine include the output shaft and the engine compartment cooling fan.
*A malfunctioning stop electro-valve will inhibit overspeed protection on that engine.

Q

Engine Fire Extinguisher

A

The fire extinguisher system consists of tow spherical bottles filled with bromotrifloromethane (or Halon). The bottles are electrically controlled consisting of four pushbutton switches located on the instrument panel above the FIRE and FAIL warning lights, and two low-pressure caution lights. The caution lights, labeled L EXT and R EXT are located on the WCA, and illuminate when pressure in the bottle drops below 230 psi. One bottle may be discharged into each engine compartment or both bottles may be discharged into either engine compartment. Pressing the PRI pushbutton for the #1 engine will discharge the left extinguisher into the #1 engine compartment. Pressing the SEC pushbutton for the #1 engine will discharge the right extinguisher into the #1 engine compartment.

Q

FLI- Start Mode

A

Start mode display will appear whenever either FADEC is in STOP mode or the N1 of one engine is increasing and lower than 60 % or decreasing and lower than 40%. A flashing Start annunciation will appear in blue in the lower information zone whenever the FADEC senses the starter is engaged. The digital value for TOT will be underlined with a flashing red line whenever TOT is greater than 750C. If TOT reaches 840C, the digital value will be underlined in solid red. The start becomes self-sustaining at 45% N1 with a normal idle speed of 68% N1. Automatic engine shutdown will occur when the FADEC detects a TOT of 840 degrees C or if the TOT does not exceed 100 degrees C by 27% N1. In the event of an in-flight restart, the start sequence will not initiate until n1 is below 17%.

The Chip indications will appear when the corresponding chip detector circuit is closed. A SERVO LIMIT VEMD Caution will illuminate in conjunction with the Hydraulic LIMIT Light. PEDAL LIMIT will appear when full right pedal deflection is achieved. A green LDG LOCK indicates that the landing gear is in the down position.

34
Q

Engine Power Check(EPC)

A

An EPC is initiated by the VEMD and performed by the FADEC and provides TOTO and TEQ margins for reach engine. The check can be performed whenever Nr is between 340 and 360 RPM, N1 is between 92 and 101%, and the bleed valve is closed.

35
Q

VEMD Maintenance Mode

A

The maintenance mode allows the recall of the past 256 internal VEMD failures, the last eight EPC results, the last seven flight reports, and the last tow flights worth of over-limit recording. To access the maintenance mode, turn the VEMD on while pressing and holding the SCROLL and RESET keys until a RELEASE KEY annunciation is displayed.

36
Q

HIPSARM

A

Helicopter improved performance search and rescue mission. If the FLI needle exceeds 8.8 for 5 minutes with either N1 or TOT as the limiting parameter, the HIPSARM counter (white pie shape will appear underneath the needle. The counter will flash for 2 minutes 30 seconds before turning solid white at 30 minutes. The HIPSARM counter will also appear anytime maximum takeoff power (10.0 FLI) is exceeded and either N1 or TOT is the liming parameter.

37
Q

EBCAU

A

38
Q

DIF N1

A

6% split between N1’s

39
Q

FADEC Failures

A

Level 1: Minor FADEC failure (loss of redundancy)
Flashing “GOV” light. Engine must be at IDLE or OFF. No effect on FADEC performance.

Level 2: Minor FADEC failure (loss of non-redundant)
Steady “GOV” light. Degraded operation state of FADEC.

Level 3: Major FADEC failure(loss of dual channel)
FADEC FAIL on WCA accompanied by illumination of red engine status light. N1 frozen at current setting. Use of engine “back-up” control required.

40
Q

Training Mode Switch

A

Simulates engine failures and allow training of single-engine flight profiles

Simulated failed engine is governed to 320 RPM N2

The VEMD displays actual N1, TOT and TRQ numerical values but the FLI needle position is simulated at a reduced value to prevent engine damage and depicts the appearance of the FLI during an actual engine failure.

Below 8.0 prior to placing switch back to flight, NR stable.

If NR droops below 320 RPM, “idle” engine will provide power up to the actual selected OEI top to prevent excessive droop.

*The transformer rectifier supplies 28 VDC emergency power to both main DC buses (through the battery bus) should both generators fail. The transformer is powered by three-phase, 115 VAC from alternator No.2 of the AC system

AC Sources: External (3phase, 115VAC, 400Hz), MGB driven alternators (200 volts 3 phase, 115 VAC single phase).

Engine driven alternators: Provides 100VAC, 3 phases (48VAC, single) to their respective FADEC computer when N1 is at or above 65%.

Starter Generators: Supply 28VDC when engine is at or above 60% N1.

Battery: A fully charged battery provide power to the DC system for approximately 30 minutes, although placing CPLT AVIONICS switch to off will extend this time to 60 minutes.

53
Q

Main Gearbox

A

The MGB consists of: left and right engine input housing and accessory gearboxes, shafts for driving the Nr tachometer generator and MGB oil system pump, and an accessory drive for the oil cooler and rotor brake. The left accessory gearbox drives the secondary hydraulic pump and the No. 1 alternator. The right accessory gearbox drives the primary hydraulic pump and the No. 2 alternator.

54
Q

MGB Oil Supply System

A

The MGB has two lubricating systems consisting of a two stage oil pump with main and auxiliary pumping elements connected by a shear shaft, a main system for providing oil flow through external lines and the oil cooler, and an auxiliary system for providing internal oil flow only. The total of quantity of 9.34 quarts is self contained. During normal operation, the main pump circulates oil through the oil cooler, filter, and to the MGB jets. Should pressure exceed 130.6 psi, oil is bypassed to the MGB sump through the main system relief valve. During normal operation, the auxiliary pump operates, but its output is blocked by a shuttle valve which is held closed by higher pressure from the primary system, causing auxiliary system oil flwo to return to the MGB sump via the auxiliary relief valve. In the event of a main pump failure or shaft shearing, the auxiliary pump will continue to operate. The shuttle valve opens and oil is pump from the MGB sump directly through the filter to the jets at a lower pressure and without the benefit of cooling. An increase in oil temperature and a lower oil pressure will occur when the auxiliary pump is providing MGB lubrication. Should an external oil leak develop, oil will be lost until the main pump inlet uncovers, at which time the MGB PMP main warning light will illuminate. The auxiliary pump, which draws oil from lower in the MGB, will continue to provide lubrication, but the pilot may have to reduce power to maintain MGB temperature within limits.
