NATOPS Flashcards
When may the APU be used?
EPs
Single Engine Training
Practice Autos
Powering ECS during extreme temp operations
What are the steps for every EP?
- Maintain control of the aircraft
- Alert Crew
- Determine the precise nature of the problem
- Complete the applicable emergency procedure or take action appropriate for the problem
- Determine landing criteria and land as required
What functions does the HMU provide?
- Rapid engine transient response through collective compensation
- Auto fuel scheduling for engine start
- Ng Overspeed protection (Ng 110+/- 2)
- Flameout and compressor stall protection
- Acceleration limiting.
- Ng governing
Functions of the ODV
- Provides fuel to the 12 fuel injectors
- Purges fuel overboard after engine shutdown to prevent coking of the injectors
- Traps fuel upstream in the fuel/oil heat exchanger to prevent the need for priming
- Returns fuel back to the HMU in event of Np overspeed
What do you lose in EDECU lockout?
TGT Limiting
Np governing
Load Sharing
What do you keep in EDECU lockout?
Np overspeed protection
Signals sent from EDECU to the cockpit?
Torque
Np
TGT
CPWR
Indications of malfunctioning anti-ice/start bleed valve:
- ENG ANTI-ICE ON advisory with >90 Ng or >94 Ng if OAT is >= 15C
- No ENG ANTI-ICE ON advisory when Ng <88
- No ENG ANTI-ICE ON advisory when ENG ANTI-ICE switch is ON
- No rise in TGT when ENG ANTI-ICE switch is ON
With ENG ANTI-ICE ON, what is the max torque reduction?
Up to 18% per engine
How does the INLET ANTI ICE bellow function?
1.<4C, valve is open and INLET ANTI-ICE ON advisory appears when inlet temp reaches 93C
2. 4C - 13C, Freon filled bellows begin closing, and should be closed be 13C
3. >13C, valve is closed and INLET ANTI-ICE ON advisory extinguishes when inlet cowling temp is <93C
Indication of inlet anti ice malfunction and corresponding consequence?
INLET ANTI-ICE ON advisory when OAT >13C.
Up to 49% loss of torque with valves open
