Q

Describe the landing gear system

A

It is a retractable tricycle landing gear fabricated from magnesium castings and aluminum forgings
Retraction is accomplished through the use of an electrically driven hydraulic actuator mounted in each wheel well.
The landing gear is controlled by a two position switch

Q

What is the time delay relay on the landing gear hydraulic pump

A

Landing gear retraction operation is protected by a time- delay relay which will disengage electrical power to the hydraulic pump motor after 30 seconds of continuous pump operation.
If the landing gear in-transit light remains illuminated, it indicates improper response of the landing gear.
The time-delay relay can be reset by moving the landing gear switch handle to the down position.

Q

What is the warning horn Q switch

A

It is to prevent the gear warning horn from sounding with the throttle(s) retarded and the landing gear retracted.

But the airspeed must be above 99 - 106 and the flaps must be retracted above 16 degrees

Q

Describe the brake system

A

There are main wheel toe brakes, a parking brake, and fluid reservoir accessible through the nose

22
Q

What kind of seat belts are provided with all seats

A

Lever-action, quick-release, all metal buckles.

23
Q

What is the minimum height for the shoulder harness

A

4’7”

24
Q

What kind of cabin doors does the airplane have?

A

One conventional door on each side

25
Q

How can you alleviate cabin pressure?

A

By opening the storm window

26
Q

Can you open the aft utility door from the inside

A

Yes, by pulling out on the locking pin and rotating it counterclockwise.

27
Q

How many emergency exits is the BE76 equipped with

A

3

28
Q

Describe the engine on the BE76

A

There are two Avco Lycoming engines installed

(1) O-360-A1G6D Clockwise. Left
(1) LO-360-A1G6D Counter clockwise Right

4 cylinder, direct drive, horizontally opposed, and rated at 180 HP at 2700 RPM

29
Q

What are the engine controls

A

Two throttles, propeller controls, and mixture control levers

30
Q

Where is the engine control friction knob located

A

On the right side of the control levers

31
Q

What is the purpose of control friction

A

To prevent creeping of the control levers

32
Q

What engine instruments are available

A 
Left and right
Fuel quantity 
Fuel pressure 
Oil pressure
Oil temperature 
CHT
Load meters (annunciators and test switches)
Dual tach
Dual manifold 
And dual EGT
33
Q

What does the dual manifold pressure gauge indicate

A

The pressure of the fuel air entering the cylinders

34
Q

What scale is the manifold pressure calibrated

A

Inches of mercury

35
Q

What type of oil system is installed

A

A wet sump pressure type oil system

36
Q

What is the engine oil sump capacity

A

8 quarts

37
Q

Are the left and right dip sticks interchangeable

A

No because the engines are canted and the dip stick must be calibrated

38
Q

How are oil operating temperatures controlled

A

With an automatic thermostat bypass control.

39
Q

How does the automatic thermostat bypass control regulate oil temperature

A

The bypass control will limit the oil flow through the oil cooler when operating temperatures are below normal

If the oil cooler is blocked it will be bypassed

40
Q

What engine ice production is available

A

The carb air head is available to reduce induction icing

41
Q

What happens when the carb heat is in the on position

A

Unfiltered air enters the carburetor

42
Q

Where is the induction air filter

A

Above the engine inside the nacelle area

43
Q

How many positions do the cowl flaps have

A

Three:

Close (up)
Half
Open (down)

44
Q

Where is the engine primer

A

There are push primers on each magneto switch

45
Q

When would the started light illuminate

A

When power is being supplied to the starter

46
Q

What could happen if the starter engaged light remains on after start

A

A loss of electrical power could result

47
Q

What kind of propellers is the BE76 equipped with?

A

The airplane is equipped with two Hartzell, 76-inch diameter, constant-speed, full-feathering, two-blade propellers.

48
Q

What controls the propeller RPM?

A

Propeller rpm is controlled by the engine-driven propeller governor which regulates hydraulic oil pressure to the hub.

49
Q

What moves the blades to high pitch angles (low RPM)

A

Springs and dome air pressure, aided by counterweights, move the blades to high pitch.

50
Q

What moves the blades to low pitch (high RPM)?

A

Engine oil under governor-boosted pressure moves the blades to the high rpm (low pitch) position.
