Seminole Systems Flashcards
Type of engines?
Two Lycoming, 4 cylinder, O-360 engines rated at 180 horsepower at 2700 RPM.
L -Lycoming H -Horizontally Opposed A -Air cooled N -Normally aspirated D -Direct Drive
Type of propellers?
Hartzell two-bladed, controllable pitch, constant speed, full feathering metal propellers.
Type of landing gear?
Hydrailically actuated, fully retractable, tricycle-type landing gear.
Hydraulic pressure for gear operation is provided by an electrically powered, reversible hydraulic pump. The gear is held up by hydraulic pressure.
How many degrees of center is the nose wheel steerable with use of the rudder pedals?
30 degrees either side of center.
Type of brakes?
Hydraulically actuated disk brakes on the main landing gear wheels. The brake hydraulic system is independent of that for the landing gear.
Where is the brake fluid reservoir located?
In the nose cone.
Type of flaps?
Manual flap system with settings of 0, 10, 25, and 40 degrees and are spring-loaded to return to 0 degree position.
Fuel system?
100 low lead avgas, equipped with two 55-gallon bladder nacelle tanks. One gallon unusable in each tank.
There are two engine-driven and two electrically driven fuel pumps.
How many positions does the fuel selector have and what are they?
Three positions; On, Off, and X-Feed. X-Feed is limited to straight and level flight only.
What electrical system is the Seminole equipped with?
14-volt electrical system
12-volt lead-acid battery
-Two 70-amp engine driven alternators
-Voltage regulators maintain constant 14-volt output from each alternator
What type of heater does the Seminole have?
Janitrol gas combustion heater located in the nose compartment.
Fuel is supplied to the heater at a rate of 1/2 gallon per hour from downstream of the left fuel selector and filter.
Stall horn warning system?
Equipped with two electric stall detectors located on the left wing. The inboard detector provides stall warning at flaps 25 and 40 degrees. The outboard at flaps 0 or 10 degrees. The purpose of the two tabs is to provide adequate stall warning at varied angles of attack.
What are the 6 main components of the G500?
- PFD
- MFD
- Attitude Heading Reference Systems (AHRS)
- Air Data Computer (ADC)
- Magnetometer
- Temperature probe
- Dual Garmin GNS 430 GPS
How does the Air Data Computer (ADC) work?
The ADC compiles information from the pitot-static systems and an outside air temperature sensor to provide on the PFD:
- Pressure Altitude
- Airspeed
- Vertical speed
- Outside air temperature
How does the Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) work?
The AHRS system contains tilt sensors, acclerometers, and rate sensors to provide altitude and heading information on the PFD.
