Sys 3 Flashcards
(99 cards)
Does APU have self-sealing fuel lines?
No
APU system provides what two powers/purpose?
Pneumatic (main engine starting and cabin heating) and electrical (ground operations and in flight emergency electrical power).
You can operate the aircraft without the APU but you risk:
Not being able to do certain inflight EPS
APU accumulator minimum pressure:
2800
Which fuel cell does the APU use?
1 fuel cell
APU oil reservoir contains how much oil?
3 qts
How is the APU generator cooled?
Air cooled
Limitation of APU Generator?
Cant power backup hydraulic pump and windshield anti ice at the same time. Backup hydraulic pump takes priority.
If the APU Generator Control Unit (GCU) detects an overload, the APU generator will:
Be taken off line and the APU GEN ON advisory light will extinguish.
What action is taken when APU OIL HOT caution appears?
APU shutdown immediately. After a 30 minute cooling period and oil level is okay, the APU may be restarted.
Electronic Sequencing Unit (ESU) will shut down the APU and provide a BIT code for any problems detected except:
APU OIL HOT
If APU fails, you must do what before attempting another start?
Check APU BIT codes
The accumulator provides hydraulic pressure for driving the:
APU hydraulic starter
When AC power is applied to the aircraft, the backup pump will recharge the accumulator in:
90 seconds
If AC electrical power is not available, only the reserve fire bottle can be discharged and fire extinguishing capability will be lost to which engine?
2 engine
What 3 things occur when the APU Fire T Handle is pulled?
Fuel to the APU is shut off, a stop signal is sent to the ESU, the fire extinguishing system arms and the directional control valve is set to the APU compartment.
The Mixture Temperature Sensor shuts off at what temperature?
90-96C and turns back on once cools off.
What are the 3 possible heated air sources for the aircraft on the ground?
Bleed air from engines, APU, and external power/source.
What would you do to get outside air into the cockpit with heat applied?
Turn on the vent blower.
The flame detectors are solid state photoconductive cells providing continuous volume optical survelliance of the monitored areas. There are 5 total with _ wall mounted on engines and APU and _ mounted on the engine deck.
3 & 2
Photoconductive cells sense what type of source to be triggered?
IR source
The thermal discharge safety port missing plug indicates that:
One or both containers have discharged due to over pressurization.
If there is a fire with no AC electrical power applied to the helicopter, which fire extinguisher must be discharged?
Reserve
Fire extinguish agent cannot be discharged into engine #2 if:
AC electrical power is not applied to helicopter
