Q

APU
AMAD
Secondary Power Compressed Air

A
  • gas turbine engine supplying air for ECS operation and MES and GMM through AMADs
  • Two gearboxes, mechanically connected to engine by PTS. Pneumatically connected to APU through ATS. AMAD transmits power to engine
  • Provides pneumatic power for operating air turbine starter or ECS, provided by APU or engine bleed air

Q

Refuel/defuel

A

manifold with a single point ground or in-flight input and outlet in each fuel tank. Door 8

17
Q

CG

A

Transferring fuel between tanks to keep aircraft balanced

18
Q

Hot fuel recirculation

A

fuel absorbs heat from liquid cooling systems, AMAD oil and hydraulic fluid to keep cool and maintains fuel delivery temp to engine and cools FADEC

19
Q

Fuel pressurization and vent

A

Maintain positive pressure on fuel in all tanks and vents fuel vapors overboard

20
Q

Fuel quantity gauging

A

Fuel quantity in each tanks

21
Q

AMAD components

A

Drive fuel boost/motive fuel pump and electrical generator and 3000/5000 psi hydraulic pump

22
Q

Safety precautions

A

Proper PPE maintain 9ft radius from intakes and 25 ft at MIL or MAX

23
Q

Fueling and defueling precautions

A

Must not be done within 100 feet of operating radio or radar or 300 ft of ground radar. Must wear goggles and watch gauges for overflow
