Study Notes
Auto Start and Ignition
- PMU energizes/de-energizes igniters with ignition switch set to NORM.
- EYD PX LO caution remains lit until system pressurizes if the emergency accumulator is discharged; ensure light is off prior to flight.
OBOGS and Fuel Systems
- OBOGS FAIL annunciator is inhibited for 3 minutes after initial power-up during warm-up.
- Low fuel warning lights provide minimum fuel level indication even if a fuel probe fails.
- Auto fuel balance system keeps wing tank fuel levels within 20 pounds of each other.
Canopy and Operating Limits
- Canopy must not be opened on the ground with surface winds exceeding 40 knots.
- Maximum airspeed in turbulence is 207 KIAS.
Engine and Oil Systems
- SCU activates red OIL PX light if oil pressure falls below 40 psi at higher power, and below 15 psi at idle.
- Total oil system capacity is 18.5 quarts; oil level should be checked 15 to 20 minutes after shutdown for accuracy.
Emergency Procedures and Landing
- A thrust and weight-on-wheels switch fault triggers PMU STATUS light in flight.
- During emergency conditions, "land as soon as possible" requires immediate landing at the nearest suitable site; "land as soon as practical" indicates less urgent emergency without immediate landing necessity.
Spin Recovery
- Neutral spin recoveries demonstrated to cease spin within 2 additional turns after control neutralization.
- Incipient spin phase lasts approximately 2 turns.
Weight and Dimension Specifications
- Aircraft empty weight is 5040 pounds, while maximum takeoff gross weight is 6900 pounds.
Aircraft Systems and Performance
- Best glide speed while landing gear down and flaps retracted is 105 KIAS with a 1500 feet per minute sink rate.
- Engine is flat-rated to produce 1100 shaft horsepower; propeller system maintains 2000 RPM under most flight conditions.
Operational Guidelines
- Do not touch the parking brake handle shaft during actuation/release to avoid injury.
- Controls in the rear cockpit take priority in trim conflicts.
Miscellaneous
- During inverted flight, the inverted fuel pickup provides 60 seconds of fuel supply.
- The chip detector is located in the reduction gear box to monitor oil contamination.
- Above 60% torque, full right rudder and aileron may not stop left roll-off during stall.
Maintenance Alerts
- If the hydraulic pressure in the emergency accumulator drops below 2400 psi, EHYD PX LO light activates.
- Any fault during overspeed governor check necessitates a ground abort.
Comparison of Flight Modes
- IDLE torque ranges from 1 to 10% on the ground; in flight mode, idle torque is typically around 67%.
Safety and Inspection
- Top latch mechanism of the ejection seat should be checked during preflight; gear extension/retraction sequence takes approximately 6 seconds.
- Be cautious of brake wear indicators; reset the parking brake if an indicator reads low and re-check.
Emergency Equipment and Battery
- Auxiliary power supplied by a 24 volt, 5 amp auxiliary battery in the left avionics compartment; external power during engine starts minimizes ITT and extends battery life.
