Q

Landing Gear

A

Retractable tricycle with a steerable nose wheel. The landing gear is operated through adjustable linkage connected to an actuator assembly mounted beneath the front seats. The actuator gear may be electrically retracted and extended, and may be extended manually. A main strut safety switch prevents gear retraction on the ground. The main gear has hydraulically actuated disc brakes.

Q

Hartzell Air-Charged Propellors

A

If propellor air dome pressure is lost during flight, the following symptoms may be noticed: over speed and poor synchronization during high-RPM operation; and propellor overspeed upon the instant opening of of the throttle, followed by poor RPM recovery.

When oil pressure is lost, the propeller will feather, which means the air charge, spring, and counterweights will increase the blade pitch to the feathering stop.

Q

Prop Governor

A

A governor is an RPM-sensing device and high-pressure oil pump. In a constant-speed prop system, the governor responds to a change in engine RPM by directing oil under pressure to the propeller hydraulic cylinder or by releasing oil from the hydraulic cylinder. The change in oil volume in the hydraulic cylinder changes the blade angle and maintains the prop RPM. The governor is set for a specific RPM via the cockpit prop control levers, which compress or releases the governor speeder spring.

Q

Electrical System

A

60amp, 28 volt, gear driven alternators are controlled by 2 transistorized electronic voltage regulators. Only one regulator is operable in the system at any one time. The remaining regulator is used as an alternate/standby unit.

Q

Landing Gear Control Switch

A

The landing gear is controlled by a two – position switch on the right side of the control console. The switch handle must be pulled out of the safety detent before it can be moved into the opposite position. Never operate the landing gear electrically with the hand crank engaged.

17
Q

Landing Gear Position Indicators

A

Landing gear position lights are located above the control switch. Three green lights, one for each gear, are illuminated whenever the landing gears are down and locked. The red light illuminates anytime one or all of the landing gears are in transit or in any intermediate position. All of the lights will be extinguish when the gear is up and locked.

18
Q

Landing Gear Safety Switch

A

To prevent inadvertent retraction of the landing gear on the ground, a main strut safety switch opens the control circuit when the strut is compressed.

19
Q

Manual Gear Extension

A

The landing gear can be manually extended, but not retracted, by operating the hand crank on the rear of the pilots seat. The landing gear handle must be in the down position and the landing gear motor circuit breaker must be pulled before manually, extending the gear. When the electrical system is operative, the landing gear, maybe check for full down with the gear position lights, provided the landing gear relay circuit breaker is engaged. After the landing gear is down, disengage the hand crank. For electrical retraction of the landing gear after a practice manual extension use procedures outline in the emergency procedure section.

Q

Janitrol Aero Heater Description

A

The heaters assembly is cylindrical in shape and is fabricated of heat resisting alloy steel. A combustion chamber and radiator assembly, welded gas, tight, which forms the principal part of the heater assembly, has it one and the fuel and air inlets and exhaust outlet at the opposite end, crossover passages connect the combustion chamber to double dash wall radiator which surrounds the combustion chamber. Closing the combustion chamber and radiator assembly is a smooth, stainless steel wraparound jacket with a self – ceiling joint. The jacket is removable and is held at a uniform distance from the radiator by spacers welded to the radiator.

21
Q

Janitrol Heater Fuel Drain

A

Two drain connections are provided in the combustion tube that providing an escape for any unburned fuel. These drain tubes are threaded on the inside for connecting to a tube that threads to the outside of the airplane. They are so located that a drain is available for various heater orientations.

22
Q

Janitrol Heater Ventilating Air

A

Ventilating air passes through the heater between the jacket and radiator in between the radiator and combustion chamber. Ventilating air thus comes in contact with three heated surfaces.

23
Q

Janitrol Heater Inspections

A

At the end of each 100 hours of heater operation, inspect the fuel and air fittings for any evidence of leakage. It is recommended that the heater be removed from the aircraft and completely overhaul after 500 hours of operation or an engine overhaul.

24
Q

Janitrol Heater Description

A

A combustion heater in the nosecone supplies heated air to the cabin. Air vents are located for of the pilot and copilot seats, at the rear of the cabin seat and at the rear of the right passenger seat. The fifth outlet provides heated air for windshield defrosting.

25
Q

Janitrol Heater Operation

A
  1. A three – position switch, placarded, blower, off, and heater, is located on the pilots sub panel. To place the heating system in operation, move the switch to the heater position.
  2. The cabin air, T-handle, regulates the amount of intake air, is below the left side of the pilot subpanel. on TH – 873, TH – 895 and after it is below the circuit breaker panel on the left side wall, push the cabin air control full forward to open the position.
  3. Pull out the cabin heat control, located below the left side of the pilot subpanel, to raise the temperature of the heated air. The cabin heat control into degrees temperature.
  4. For windshield defrosting, push the defrost control, located to the right of the cabin heat Control.
  5. Direct heated onto the pilots feet pull out the pilot air control to the right of the defrost control.
  6. The copilot air control, identical to the Pilot air control, is located below the right side of the instrument panel.
26
Q

Janitrol Heater Blower

A

When the three-positions switch on the pilot sub-panel is placed in either the heater position or the blower position, the blower will operate if the landing gear is in the extended position and the cabin air control is more than halfway in. The blower will automatically shut off if the landing gear is retracted or the cabin air control is pulled out approximately halfway.

27
Q

What does constant speed prop mean?

A

The propeller will maintain an RPM by use of the propeller governor and oil pressure to the hub.

28
Q

Why do props not fully feather during normal shutdown?

A

High-pitch lock pins, or anti-feather lock pins. As RPMs decrease, the pins extend under centrifugal pressure. This aids in engine starting.

29
Q

What is the source of ignition?

A

Bendix Magnetos

30
Q

What is the max engine oil temp?

A

240°F

31
Q

What is the minimum, maximum, and normal oil pressure?

A

Idle: 30 PSI
Max: 100 PSI
Normal: 30-60 PSI

32
Q

What is the generator cut-in speed?

A

The cut-in speed is simple; it’s the point at which the turbine starts generating electricity from turning.

33
Q

Describe the vacuum system

A

It is a pressure system. The pressure for the flight instruments is supplied by two engine-driven dry pressure pumps that are interconnected to form a single system.

It controls the attitude indicator and directional gyro.

It operates in the green arc 4.5 - 6 PSI
