SYS1 Test Review Flashcards
How is engine oil cooled in the T-1?
Through the fuel-oil heat exchanger
What two ways can we check oil level in the aircraft?
Press the electronic button on the exterior of the aircraft
Manually using the dipstick
How is oil collected and returned to the pump?
via 2 scavenge pumps per engine. Total of 4
What position should the ignition switches be placed in for T/O, approaches, and landings?
“ON” position. For all critical phases of flight including low-levels and air refueling
After T/O, what position should the ignition switch be placed?
“STBY” assuming no visible moisture or precip
In “STBY”, is ignition provided for icing, stall, engine flameout?
Yes, all the above
Will the engine still be lubed if the oil filter becomes clogged?
Yes, but will be unfiltered via the bypass
What engine air provides the most thrust at all altitudes?
Bypass air thrust
What engine air flow provides power for the low pressure section, engine driven accessories, and bleed air for pressurization?
Engine core
What connects the fan to the fan turbine(s)?
The through-shaft running through the hollow impeller shaft
N1 displays the speed of …
the Fan
N2 displays the speed of …
The high pressure compressor (impeller)
Where is the main battery located?
aft fuselage compartment
Most avionics boxes are located ..
in the avionics rack across from the lavatory in the aft fuselage
During ground ops, should you actuate the spoilers without first checking to see if they are clear?
No, any time you move a control surface you must check if clear
What does a RED warning annunciator indicate (in general)?
Potential for personal injury or loss of life
What does a AMBER caution annunciator indicate (in general)?
Potential damage to aircraft or equipment
What is the purpose of the shroud panel lights?
to capture attention of the pilot’s direct field of view
What do GREEN and WHITE annunciators indicate?
System advisory of something going on or working correctly
Where is the annunciator light identification legend located?
Back of Section III of Dash-1
What should you do, once the annunciator that caused WARNING or CAUTION light to illuminate has been identified?
Reset for further annunciation
How can you confirm correct functioning of the stall/warning system?
Master test switch on overhead panel
Do aural warning in the T-1 include voice warnings, tones/bell sounds?
Yes
Can you silence these warnings?
Yes, some can and some cannot
N2 high speed compressor provides air to what 2 components?
Turns the turbine dics and provides cool air for the turbine discs, and provides sensor pressure inputs to the HMU
What is the purpose of the engine vibration indicator?
To assist in recording engine vibe trends to Mx. If excessive, run FEVER check
Which engine is does synch use as the “master”?
Left
What speeds can the engines be synchronized to?
Fan or Turbine
Should engine synch be used for T/O or landing?
No
What does the Electronic Fuel Control (EFC) provide?
refines the air/fuel mixture for optimum engine performance
Will the engine run without an EFC?
Yes, but longer spool times, less performance
What is the result of operating with the EFC off?
Slower thrust and acceleration, carbon build up (coking)
Will the engine run without the HMU?
NO
Does the engine fire sensing equipment detect overheat as well as fire?
Yes, 6 thermocouple detect heat but not smoke
Can the right fire bottle be used for the left engine?
Yes
Is HALON agent discharged all at once or at pilots discretion?
All at once
Should HALON be avoided? Why?
Yes, its a mild narcotic
What are the fire bottles filled with?
HALON
If the engine fire push light extinguishes after retarding the throttle to idle in flight (step 1 in boldface), what should the crew do?
Use master test switch on overhead panel to test fire detection system
If the test fails after the light goes out in flight, what next?
Assume fire, finish the continue the checklist
