Systems Flashcards
Hydraulics
Made up of the Primary hydraulic system and utility system.
Primary Hydraulic System
Provides hydraulics on the primary side of all 4 servos.
Primary Hydraulic pump on left side of XMSN accessory gearbox
Manifold stores, filters, and regulates the flow of hydraulic fluid
Utility hydraulic system
Controls (backup 4 servo-actuators)
Rotor brake
APU (start)
AWS turret
Ammo drive carrier
Tail wheel unlock actuator
Elevation (pylons)
IPAS Users
Fuel (19+/-3 boost/xfer pump)
ECS - heat
Defog
NIU - cools dries and removes o2 for fuel cells
ATS - until 52% NG when eng is self sustaining
Ice detector - 100kts
Louvers - firewall
Hydraulics - high pressure 31+/-3 (prevents cavitation)
Utility receptacle - air pwrd tools
Fuel Boost Pump
Located in aft fuel cell
Used for starting and emergencies
CHMU (Common Hydromechanical Unit)
The CHMU provides metered fuel to the combustor to con-trol the gas generator (NG) speed. (The muscle for fuel flow)
Located: top of the engine accessory section
EDECU (Enhanced Digital Electronic Control Unit)
controls the engine and transmits operational information to the crew. It is a solid-state device mounted below the engine compressor casing. (Brains of the engine)
MTRA
OVERSPEED PROTECTION
Transient droop improvement
TGT LIMITING
TQ MATCHING
HOT START PREVENTION
FAULT CODES
Fuel Filter
located between the fuel boost pump and the high-pressure pump in the CHMU. If this filter becomes clogged and impedes the passage of fuel, a bypass valve permits fuel to bypass the filter. The differential pressure initiating bypass actuates the fuel pressure bypass sensor, thus causing the ENG 1 or ENG 2 FUEL BYPASS caution to display. Little red button will pop.
Engine ignition system
Each engine has an ignition exciter unit with two igniter plugs. The exciter unit receives power from its engine alternator.
Hot Start Prevention
Part of the EDECU and prevents overtemperature during engine start. When NP and NG are below their respective hot start ref-erence, and TGT exceeds 900° C an output from the HSP system activates a solenoid in the overspeed and drain valve. This shuts off fuel flow and causes the engine to shut down.
ENGINE OIL SUPPLY SYSTEM
Each engine is lubricated by a self-contained, pressur-ized, recirculating, dry sump system.
If oil pressure is lost, oil will bleed slowly out of these reservoirs and be atomized by air jets thus providing an oil mist lubrication for the engine bearings for thirty seconds at 75% NG.
FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
The aircraft employs a hydromechanical flight control system which is mechanically activated using conventional cyclic, collective, and directional (pedals) controls, through four servoactuators.
The FMC provides:
- Rate damping
• Command augmentation
• Attitude hold
• Altitude hold
• Heading hold
• Turn coordination
• Translational rate command (TRC)
FMC Release Button
The FMC release button immediately disengages all SCAS channels. Force trim is still engaged.
SAS SATURATED
When all of the SAS authority is used up, the SAS is saturated. When this occurs, a flight control tone will sound and a SAS SATU-RATED will display on the EUFD, meaning that the SAS is saturated in one or more axes. At this point, the SAS will be totally ineffective in the axis that is saturated.
STABILITY AND COMMAND AUGMENTATION SUBSYSTEM (SCAS)
The SCAS has three functions; Stabilization system, Command system, and the Hold modes. The FMC monitors all inputs and will disengage on an axis by axis basis if a failure occurs.
BACK-UP CONTROL SYSTEM (BUCS)
The BUCS is a single-channel, non-redundant, fly-by-wire control system that can electronically operate all four control axes. The BUCS is modeled to duplicate the mechanical flight controls with-out the Stability Augmentation System (SAS) engaged.
BUCS can be engaged through:
Jams or severances
