Q

How is the propeller pitch controlled?

A

Controlled via the prop control lever adjusting the governor that control oil pressure to the prop hub.

High RPM / Low Pitch
- Oil pressure from governor (prop control)
- Aerodynamic force

Low RPM / High Pitch
- Counter weights

Q

Landing gear
- configuration
- retractable
- how is it held up/down
- actuation

A

Tricycle

Retractable - electric hydraulic pump

  • Held up with hydraulic pressure
  • naturally wants to come down due to gravity, aerodynamics, and spring assist
  • held down with spring loaded hooks

16
Q

Landing gear is held up with…

A

…hydraulic pressure.

17
Q

What would happen if the landing gear system loss pressure or had a big leak?

A

The landing gear is held in the up position with pressure, so the landing gear would extend down if pressure was loss do to a leak.

The gear unsafe light may illuminate as the up limit switches are no longer contacted.

18
Q

Squat switch

A

left main gear

Oleo > 8” completes ePump circuit

19
Q

Gear warning horn

A

Power < 14” and landing gear is still up.

Gear lever is put in the up position with weight on wheels.

20
Q

How do the Nav Light affect the Landing Gear system?

A

The landing gear indicator light are automatically dimmed when the nav lights are on.

21
Q

What can be done if you don’t see landing gear indicator lights?

A

Turn off navigation lights.

Swap lights around incase it’s a bulb out.
