  • C: Closes oil tank shut off valve (E)
25
Q

Prop Malfunction definition

A

Prop pump light
Visible Fluid leak
Offspeed condition (audible)

26
Q

Prop off speed condition characterized by

A

Indicated rpm is greater than 1 percent above or below the mechanical / electrical governing rpm or any sustained rpm occscilstion occurs (detected audibly)

27
Q

Two ways automatic pitch lock engagement can occur

A

1: Loss of control oil pressure
2: Rpm exceeds approximately 103.5%

28
Q

Feather button
In: (2 things)
Out: (2 things)

A

In: Activates the feather valve solenoid and pump energized
Out: Aux pump runs
Arms the 45 degree air start protections circuitry

Pilot valve senses under speed and ports fluid to decreased side and turning on fuel and ignition switches initiates start sequence and NTS likits negajtve torque by controlling BA until Normal RPM

29
Q

Sync box importance

A

You can’t reinforce pitch lock without the sync box, even if sync inop

30
Q

Four safety features to drive the blade to high angle / low pitch (feather)

A

NTS
Feather signal for 45degree airstart protection
Feather signal from fx button
Feather signal from e handle

(All require hyds)

31
Q

Four safety features for undersidred extreme reduction in blade angle

A

Pitch lock
Pitchlock reset
Beta follow up
Mechanical low pitch stop

32
Q

What does the feather button do in the armed position?

A

Electrically energized fx valve solenoid
Electrically energized the AUX pump
Electrically shuts off fuel at the fuel control

33
Q

What does the PCO button do?

A

Denergizes the feather cut out relay causing

  • Energizes the AUX PAump
  • Energizes and verifies ops of the fx valve solenoid
  • pressurizes the increased pitch side of the control piston to replenish any voids or air pockets

(Releasing PCO terminates AUX pump operation and Denergize is the fx valve solenoid resulting in feather valve returning to the neutral position)

34
Q

Indications of a pitch locked prop

A

RPM extremely sensative to changes in TAS
Increase in RGB oil px if rpm above 100%
SHP indicates 0 or wandering
FF is 600lbs/hr

35
Q

Indications of a coupled prop with no NTS action (the bad)

A

Decreased RPM
Power section oil px normal
SHP steady in negative range and responsive to changes in TAS

36
Q

Indications of a prop decoupled with no NTS (the ugly)

A

RPM extremely sensative to changes in TAS
SHP near 0 or wandering not responsive to changes in TAS
power section oil px decreasing to 0 (May stabilize above 0 depending on windmilling energy)

37
Q

Indications of pitchlock without over speed

A

Regarding power lever produces a decrease in RPM but moving it forward only goes to 100% rpm

38
Q

If decouple is due to fuel cutoff engine indications

A 
SHP indicates near 0 and wander 
RPM will initially surge but stabilize at 100%
TIT decrease toward ambient 
FF 0
Power section oil px at or near 0
39
Q

If decouple is due to decoupler failure engine indications

A

SHP indicates near 0 and wander
RPM will stabilize at 100%
TIT 550
FF 600lbs/hr

40
Q

Betta follow up blade angle

Mechanical low pitch stop?

A

Minimum of 22.5 degrees blade angle at 90 degrees coordinator

13 degrees blade angle

40
Q

What is in the barrel?

The dome?

Control assembly

Pump Housing

Valve Housing

A

Pitch lock regulator and fluid

Pitch control piston and cam and gear train (converts push pull to rotary motion)

Pump housing and valve housing

Hydraulics & sumps

Prop governor, pitot valve, speeder spring, flyweight, servo spool (to direct prop fluid to and from dome), main, stby & back up regulator valves, alpha & beta shafts

41
Q

Blade angle range

A

-13 (full reverse) to 86 degrees (full feather

42
Q

Two types of sumps

A

Atmospheric
- main pump: driven by prop
- aux: driven by electrical feather motor
(To maintain prop fluid and px in the atmospheric sump) regulated through a sump relief valve mounted on both pumps

Pressurized:

  • main: driven by prop (prop pump 1)
  • standby: (prop pump 2)
  • aux pump: used for feather, unfeather and static ground ops
43
Q

Prop pump 1 output in quarts per minute

Prop pump 2?

A

20 quarts

40 quarts (stays in standby status though)

44
Q

Main and stby regulator valves keep what PSI in the system?

Back up valve purpose?

A

150 PSI

Prevents retraction of low pitch stops in flight and proves prop fluid to break the feather latches when unfeathering (closes when power levers greater than 28 degrees coordinator and below 24 degrees BA (low power low speed))

45
Q

Where does the alpha shaft recieve input from?

Beta shaft?

A

The coordinator and E handle

The number one blade of the prop

46
Q

What does the speed set cam do?

A

Sets 100% rpm in the flight range by compressing the speeder spring below flight idle

47
Q

What does the Beta set Cam do?

A

Sets blade angle in the beta range and provides for beta follow up in flight range with beta follow up set cam

48
Q

What does the feather and disarm cam do?

A

Positions feather valve to feather when E handle is pulled. Repositions NTS linkage to prevent feather valve actuation below 24 degrees coordinator

49
Q

What does the Alpha back up cam do?

A

Opens the backup valve below 28 degrees coordinator to provide decrease pitch px to retract low pitch stops

50
Q

What does the Alpha pitch lock reset cam do?

A

Energizes the pitch lock reset solenoid below 28 degrees coordinator (if BA is below 10 degrees)

51
Q

What is the Solenoid operated flight idle stop?

A

Blocks power levers from going over the ramp in flight (especially if linkage were to be disconnected ) Removed when scissor switch senses weight on wheels and power lever below 32 degrees.

Can be overcome by 12 lbs of force if it fails to retract

52
Q

What does the Beta back up valve cam do?

A

Opens backup valve above 24 degrees BA and closes below 24 degrees to prevent retracting low pitch stops

53
Q

What does the Beta air start can do?

A

Energizes the feather valve solenoid at 45 degrees BA when fx button held out

54
Q

What does the feather cutout switch cam do?

The reset cam?

A

Prevents pressure surges from terminating feather circuit until 71-76 BA

D’energia ed pitch lock reset solenoid when below 10 degrees BA

55
Q

Speed bias servos range

A

96-106%
