Q

What is the ground operating limits and out of limit readings of Np?

A

0-61%, and 81-100%, in order to prevent damage from ground resonance, sustained propeller operating between 62-80%, Np is prohibited while on the ground. Out of limit readings is more than 102%

19
Q

How is the Indicated Outside air temperature (IOAT) measured and where is it located?

A

Measure by a T-1 probe, a sensor located in the inlet plenum

20
Q

What is the purpose of the Alternate engine data display (AEDD)?

A

Provides each cockpit with a visual indication of engine operations

21
Q

Describe the AEDD operating principles

A

provides some of the same information as the PEDD, but is not processed by the PMU. Torque is first determines by the PMU and then sent to the EDM for display

22
Q

Identify the AEDD system components

A

Raw interstage Turbine Temperature (RITT), Torque, Gas generator speed (N1), Cockpit Pressure Altitude, Cockpit differential pressure (Delta P), Fuel Flow, and Fuel Quantity

23
Q

What does the Cockpit Pressure altitude do?

A

Provides pilot with the altitude maintained in the cockpit due to pressurization. Illuminated to yellow after FL 19.

24
Q

What does the Cockpit differential pressure do?

A

Measure the difference between the air pressures inside and outside the cockpit. If it exceeds 3.9 to 4.0 then it is outlined in red

25
Q

How is the AEDD powered?

A

Powered though a circuit breaker located on the battery bus circuit breaker panel in each cockpit

26
Q

Identify the purpose of the engines/systems display (ESD)

A

Display provides Oil temperature, oil pressure, hydraulic pressure, DC voltage, and DC amperage.

27
Q

How is oil temperature measured ?

A

Measured by a transducer on the engine oil pressure line downstream of the main oil pump.

28
Q

What is the normal, cautionary and out of limits range for oil temperature

A

Normal range is from 10-105 degrees celsius, cautionary range is from 105-110, and out of limits is above 110

29
Q

How is Oil pressure measured?

A

measured by a transducer located on on engine oil pressure line.

30
Q

What is the normal operating limits for oil pressure?

A

90-120 PSI

31
Q

How is hydraulic pressure measured?

A

measured by a pressure sensor located on the power pack reservoir.

32
Q

What is the normal and cautionary limits for the hydraulic system?

A

normal range is from 2880-3120 PSI, cautionary range (amber) is below 1800 and above 3500 PSI

33
Q

How is DC voltage measured?

A

Monitored and controlled by the generator control unit, which also serves as a voltage regulator.

34
Q

What is the white, amber, and red operating limits of DC voltage?

A

White range is from 22.0-29.5V, amber is 29.6 to 32.2 or under 21.9. Red is 32.3 and above

35
Q

How is the ESD power provided?

A

ESD is provided through a circuit breaker on the generator bus circuit.

36
Q

Identify the purpose of the engine fire warning system

A

The system is designed to monitor both average and discrete temperatures.

37
Q

What does the fire Warning system consist of?

A

Core element, sensor tube, and a responder assembly.

38
Q

How does the fire warning system operate?

A

The sensor tube is filled with helium gas and inside that tube is a core element filled with hydrogen gas. The core element responds to the heat cause by fire and hot gases.

39
Q

True/False: The fire warning systems reliability diminishes if there is kinks, twists, or dents in the tubing

A

False

40
Q

What does the fire warning operation 1 do?

A

As the heat rises, the helium expands and creates pressure, and when the pressure exceeds the limit, a signal triggers the fire alarm

41
Q

What does the fire warning operation 2 do?

A

The hydrogen core will release gas as the temperature rises into the sensor tube, the mixture between the hydrogen and helium will increase pressure and when the pressure limit is exceeded, it generates a overheat warning

42
Q

What warning indications will appear if there is a fire?

A

The red fire and the master warn will illuminate. Also a warning tone will start.

43
Q

What does the Firewall shutoff handle do?

A

It mechanically shuts off the hydraulic and fuel flow to the engine and well as bleed air flow from the engine. May be reset by pushing the handle back in.

44
Q

Where are the two Fire warning systems located for power?

A

Located on the circuit breaker in the front cockpit
