Ops Limits Flashcards
Learn the operational limits of the KC-135R
What is the gear airspeed limit during extension or retraction?
270 KIAS below FL380 0.85M above FL380
What is the gear airspeed limit when extended?
320 KIAS below 30,500 ft 0.85M above 30,500 ft
Cabin Differential (Maximum)
9.42 psi
Cabin Differential (Caution Range)
8.6 to 9.42 psi
What is the engine parameter that indicates thrust?
N1 rpm
N1 rpm for TRT will vary up to
102% rpm
How high can N1 rpm for TRT be and continue to the next landing
102.1 to 105% retard the throttle to bring the N1 rpm within limits
How high can N1 rpm for TRT be before requiring engine shutdown
> 105% rpm, use the Precautionary/Practice Engine Shutdown Checklist
N2 rpm for TRT will vary up to
105% rpm
How high can N2 rpm for TRT be and continue to the next landing
105.1% - 106% rpm
How high can N2 rpm for TRT be before requiring engine shutdown
> 106% rpm, use the Precautionary/Practice Engine Shutdown Checklist
Max continuous EGT range is
610 - 870 degrees C
EGT in what range is limited to 5 minutes
870 - 905 degrees C
EGT in what range requires you to retard the throttle to bring it within limits
906 - 930 degrees C, operation is allowed to the next landing
EGT greater than what value requires engine shutdown
> 930 degrees C, use the Engine Fire/Failure During Flight Checklist
N1 ground idle limit is
16 - 22%
N2 ground idle limit is
54 - 62%
Normal oil pressure limit is
11 - 92 psi, it cannot fluctuate outside of this range
Normal oil fluctuation limit is
+/-5 psi (10 psi total)
Oil tempurature limit for 10 minutes is
160 - 175 degrees C
What oil tempurature requires engine shutdown unless needed for flight
> 175 degrees C, use the Precautionary/Practice Engine Shutdown Checklist
Starter duty cycle for starting (throttle in start)
90 seconds of maximum continuous operation
Max of 3 consecutive 90 second start attempts
60 seconds cooling required between start attempts
5 minutes cooling required after 3 start attempts
Duty Cycle for Motoring (Throttle in CUT-OFF)
5 minutes of maximum continuous operation.
10 minutes cooling required after first motoring.
30 minutes cooling required after subsequent motoring.
The duty cycles for starting and motoring are cumulative: that is, if a start attempt is aborted after 90 seconds, the starter can remain engaged for a maximum of how many additional minutes
only 3 1/2 additional minutes
