Systems Overview Flashcards
What is mounted on the airframe mounted gearbox?
AC generator and hydraulic pump
Electrical power for the T-38C is primarily supplied by?
two AC generators
What section houses most of the electrical equipment in the T-38C?
Nose section
What is powered by both hydraulic systems?
Flight Controls
Which components cannot be controlled from the rear cockpit?
- Stability augmenter
- Air conditioning system
- Fuel boost pumps
- Engine shutdown
- Crossfeed operation
True or false: The T-38C requires an external source of low-pressure air to start the engines
True
True or false: If the engine-driven fuel pumps fail in the T-38C, gravity feed can sustain engine operation
False
The utility hydraulic system supplies power to what?
- Flight controls
- Landing Gear
- NWS
- Speed Brake
- Stability Augmenter
True or false: The rear cockpit pilot has the capability to shut down the engines
False
You are rolling out on the runway after a normal full-stop landing. When may you engage the nosewheel steering?
When below 65 knots
You are taxiing into a 20-knot headwind. How fast may you taxi with the canopy open?
30 knots
You are setting up for a chandelle (asymmetric maneuver) with 1,700 pounds of fuel. What will your positive G limit be during this maneuver?
+4.7
You are solo in the area doing continuous aileron rolls. What restrictions apply?
This is prohibited at load factors greater than 1.0G and lesser than 1.0G
You are flying a zero-G pushover. Due to engine oil supply and pressure requirements, do not exceed ________ in this attitude
10 seconds
While flying solo you notice a fuel imbalance. This imbalance could lead to center of gravity (CG) problems if
The right system contains more than twice the left
In the overhead pattern, with 3,000 pounds fuel remaining, you take evasive action to avoid a midair collision. Your G meter (on the MFD) reads –2.7 Gs
This is an over-G regardless of flight conditions
During a cold weather start you notice your oil pressure at 40 psi
This is normal, oil pressure should return to operating limits within 6 minutes
While starting the #2 engine, the EGT reaches 850 °C. You should
Abort the start
While starting the #1 engine, the EGT peaks out at 940 °C. You should
- Abort the aircraft
- Write the temperature reached and duration in the AFTO Form 781
During the engine run-up for takeoff, your right engine RPM reads 96%. You should
Abort the aircraft
While setting up for a loop, you notice your right hydraulic pressure is 1,500 psi. This is
Abnormal, refer to your checklist
