What do the primary flight controls consist of?
Elevator, Rudder, & Spoilers
What do the secondary flight controls consist of?
Flaps, Speed Brake, & Trim Systems
How are the flaps controlled?
Electrically controlled, hydraulically actuated, and mechanically positioned.
What kind of engines does the T-1A have?

How much thrust is each engine capable of producing?
2900 pounds
What temperature does the air-cycle machine maintain in the cabin?
60-90 deg F
What is the service ceiling?
41,000 feet
How many annunciators does the main panel contain?
52 (12 RED, 40 AMBER)
What does pushing the Engine fire switchlight do?
Closes the fuel and hydraulic valves on that engine and arms the fire extinguisher bottles
Where is the aircraft battery located?
Aft fuselage compartment
Where is the standby battery located?
Nose compartment
What does a red warning light mean?
Personal injury or death
What does an amber warning light mean?
Possible damage to equipment
What does a white or green shroud light mean?
System condition advisory
Where is the annunciator chart located?
Section III of the DASH-1
What does the MASTER TEST SWITCH test?
Stall, Fire, Generators, Flap Asymmetry, and Standby Battery
What provides more thrust at high altitude?
Core of the engine (N2)
What provides more thrust at low altitudes?
Bypass flow (N1)
What does the high pressure compressor (N2) provides bleed air to?
Bearing compartments oil seats, hydromechanical fuel control, cooling air for turbine
What connects the fan to the fane turbine?
Shaft inside hollow impeller shaft
What is N2?
high compressor and its single-turbine speed
What is the max transient ITT?
720 deg C for 2 SEC max
How can the oil level be checked?
Electronically with push button or with the dipstick
In what position should the ignition be for T/O, approaches, and landings?
ON
When does the ignition come on automatically?
Engine flameout, engine icing condition, stall condition (switch in STBY)
What airflow is most efficient at low altitudes?
Bypass
What airflow is most efficient at high altitudes?
Core
What speeds can be synced?
Fan or Turbine speeds
What does the EFC (electronic fuel control) do?
refines mixture of fuel and air output of the HMU (hydromechanical metering unit)
What happens if the EFC shuts off?
Loss of thrust, coking (carbon buildup on nozzles)
How is oil returned to the engine?
Two scavenge pumps
How is oil cooled?
Fuel/oil heat exchanger
What should you do if the ENGINE FIRE PUSH switch light goes out?
Test the fire detect circuit
What should you do if the EFC fails?
Must fly with split throttles; avoid rapid throttle movements, don’t turn on unless throttle is below normal T/O position
Which engine is the master if using engine synchronization?
LEFT
When can you not use engine synchronization?
T/O, LDG, patterns
