Questions and Answers

What primary function does the suction relief valve serve in the system?

To control system pressure between the pump inlet and instruments (correct)

To filter out contaminants before reaching the gyros

To provide power to the vacuum pump through a coupling

To regulate the temperature within the cabin

What effect does a dirty central air filter have on the suction gage reading?

It maintains a constant reading regardless of filter condition

It increases the suction pressure, showing a higher reading

It creates a backup pressure that damages the instruments

It causes the reading to decrease as differential pressure declines (correct)

How is the vacuum pump connected to the system that provides suction to the gyros?

By a series of pneumatic tubes that facilitate airflow

Using a gear-driven mechanism through a spline-type coupling (correct)

Via direct electrical connections

Through a hydraulic interface that ensures flexibility

Study Notes

Gyro System Operation

Suction for gyros is generated by a dry-type engine-driven vacuum pump.
The pump is gear-driven via a spline-type coupling.

Pressure Control and Instrumentation

A suction relief valve regulates system pressure, positioned between the pump inlet and the instruments.
A vacuum line connects gyro instruments to the relief valve, routing through the cabin to the firewall.

Air Filtration System

A disposable central air filter is employed to maintain air quality.
The filter is designed for easy replacement, secured with straps for quick removal.

Suction Gauge Functionality

The suction gauge measures the net differential suction before and after air passes through a gyro instrument.
As the central air filter becomes increasingly blocked, the differential pressure decreases, resulting in a lower suction gauge reading.
