SECTION I Flashcards
LANDING GEAR
Discribe the landing gear
The landing gear is a retractable tricycle-type which is electrically con- trolled and hydraulically operated.
ENGINE
What are the engine’s two independent sections?
The gas generator section and the power turbine section.
ENGINE
What does the gas generator section (the aft half of the engine) consists of?
It consists of a four-stage axial-flow compressor, a single-stage centrifugal flow compressor, a combustion chamber and a single-stage compressor turbine.
ENGINE
What does the power section (the forward half of the engine) consist of?
It consists of a two stage axial-flow power turbine, exhaust case, and a reduction gearbox.
OIL SYSTEM
What is the capacity of the oil system?
18,5 U.S. quarts
OIL SYSTEM
CAUTION
1. Oil level must be serviced within (…) of engine shutdown.
2. Normal oil level is between?
3. What if engine oil level is not serviced properly?
- 30 minutes
- ADD and MAX HOT. (If below ADD, service oil level to MAX HOT)
- Engine damage is possible
OIL SYSTEM
The sight glass glass is not to be used for checking oil level, what is?
The dipstick
OIL SYSTEM
The engine oil pressure indicator may display oil pressures up to 4 psi (…) due to the design of the oil pressure transmitter.
with the engine shut down
What is the SCU?
Signal conditioning unit. A computer that contains the logic to illuminate the warning on the engine indication and crew alerting system (EICAS)
CREW ALERT SYSTEM (CAS)
The SCU activates the red OIL PX warning if
Oil pressure below 40 psi above idle, below 15 psi at idle, or oil pressure between 15-40 psi at idle for 5 seconds or more.
CREW ALERT SYSTEM (CAS)
What does the red CKPT PX mean?
Cockpit overpressurization; pressure exceeds 3.9 to 4.0 psid
CREW ALERT SYSTEM (CAS)
What does the red FUEL PX mean?
Fuel pressure below 10 psi
CREW ALERT SYSTEM (CAS)
What does the red CHIP mean?
Engine chip detector indicated oil contamination.
CREW ALERT SYSTEM (CAS)
What does the red CHK ENG mean?
Engine parameters have exceeded operating limitations
CREW ALERT SYSTEM (CAS)
What does the amber CKPT ALT mean?
Cockpit pressure altitude above 19.000 feet
