ICE & RAIN PROTECTION
SURFACE DE-ICE
- Uses 18 psi bleed air
- Surface de-ice air - via de-ice distributor valve , inflates the appropriate de-ice boots.
- SINGLE (Auto) - Each area gets 6 seconds before moving to the next area. Occurs in the following sequence.
- 1) Outboard wings
- 2) All other surfaces - Inboard wings & Tail (Horizontal stabilizer / Tailets / Stabilons).
- 3) 12 seconds off
- back to 1)
- MANUAL - all boots to inflate at the same time for a single cycle. This could cause BL AIR FAIL momentarily.
- When not in SINGLE or MANUAL – vacuum applied to boots. Pull CB if boots remain inflated.
- Allow 25mm buildup before activation.
- Do not cycle de-ice boots when temp below -40C
- INBD WING DEICE / OUTBD WING DEICE / TAIL DEICE when each is inflated
- Wing Ice lights – ovhd panel.
- in elect failure – boots will remain deflated. If stuck inflated – pull out CB to deflate.
ENGINE ANTI-ICE
1 - Heated Lips - heated via exhaust gases
2 - Inertial separators - For all ground Ops , in-flight when visible moisture and temp below +5ºC (+10 IOAC).
- Dual actuators - Main and Standby
-fails to extend within 30 seconds ENG ICE FAIL – disagree light. Immediate – no power. 30 sec delay – actuator
failed
- normal ext – L & R ENG ANIT-ICE
26/3/07 26
PITOT HEAT
- Both Pitot/Static tubes – elect heated thru 15 amp CB switch.
- PITOT HEAT if failed OR insufficient current drawn.
ALTERNATE STATIC heats vents below pitot/static tubes.
– Airspeed and Altitude – over read. Remember they are on the dangerous side.
- At 17000 and 11000, airspeed over-reads by @10-12 knots. Alt by @400ft.
STALL WARNING
- Constant Electric Heat around base of stall airflow vane. Squat switch restricts current flow on the ground.
- STALL HEAT – if not receiving enough power
WINDSHIELD HEAT
- No restrictions on use.
- Windshields laminated – 3 layers. Gold wires amongst middle layer. Temp sensors limit heat on windshield 90 - 110ºF
-NORMAL - Pwr to heat entire windshield.
- OFF
-HIGH - same pwr to 2/3 area, - raises temp faster.
- 223 kts max for effective heat.
- ON in-flight when visible moisture and temp below +5ºC (+10 IOAC).
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
- SLOW - FAST - PARK. – switch in overhead panel.
- never operate when windshield dry.

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM
- P3 bleed air via air cycle machine - heat, cool, & pressurise the cabin,
- Vapour cycle, air conditioning system - additional cooling
If ACM failure – flapper valves stop depressurisation – Cabin will slowly depressurise.
26/3/07 28
VAPOUR CYCLE MACHINE - (VCM)
- right inboard wing . VCM ⇒ more efficient cooling.
- Air-conditioning compressor - Right engine driven - compresses gaseous Freon ⇒ high temperature, high press gas.
Condensing coil & blowers remove excess heat. Gas ⇒ liquid. (high pressure / low temp liquid) ⇒ passes thru expansion
valve
(⇓ pressure & temp) ⇒ EVAPORATER – Liquid Freon absorbs latent heat from Cabin Air as it passes over, being cooled. ,
Freon changes back Gas ⇒ Gas. ⇒VCM Compressor
26/3/07 29
-ENVIRON – AUTO – MAN – MAN COOL
- AUTO, temperature sensor - cabin roof abeam row 6 – regulates temp. - generates voltage with temp. Cabin voltage
compared with rheostat voltage ⇒ power applied to open / close ACM bypass Valve, & start VCM if ACM bypass Valve is
fully closed.
- MAN, temp. control Valve’s - manually powered via the ⇑ / ⇓ switch. – (ACM Bypass - 30sec from full open ⇒ full closed).
- MAN COOL, vapor cycle air on continuously, regardless of ACM bypass - if OAT is above 10ºC & R eng is 62% N1 or
greater
- OFF – bypass / thru valves stay where they are.
- TEST – test signal to Temp & Press switches - ENVIR FAIL - Temp & Press Limits busted. ENVIR OFF – All ENVIR valves
closed.
L/R ENVIR FAIL -is due to over-temp or over-pressure. Must reset bleed air controls Phase 1’s -ON ⇒ OFF ⇒ ON.
If ENVIR FAIL not extinguish - ENVIRON ⇒ OFF, monitor gauges. ⇒ ENVIR OFF
If 500ºF after pre-cooler – auto close all bypass / thru valves. Should get L/R ENVIR FAIL & ENVIR OFF on affected side.
Cabin / Cockpit Air Control ( pull to open) – further out = more to cockpit.
Cabin pressurisation control switch in the ‘DUMP’ position, ram air ventilation is available.
26/3/07 30
Pressurisation
- Inlet air, thru ACM – BLEED AIR VALVES ⇒ OPEN. Rate air enters thru floor Vents - not controlled.
- ENVIRON Valves fail closed – no more bleed air – cabin pressure leaks down.
- 2 x Outflow valves: - rear pressure bulkhead, control rate of air leaving the aircraft.
- spring holds closed - Vacuum press opens
Controller- Regulates vacuum applied to outflow valves giving - required cabin alt
- Preset solenoid (Left Squat switch) : Prevents vacuum to controller unit until aircraft is flying.
- Failure of preset solenoid – Aircraft thinks it is still on ground – no presurisation
- TEST will confirm preset solenoid failure – cabin pressurises.
To continue flight – could pull CB.
- DUMP solenoid – allows more vacuum , fully opens outflow valve.
- If cabin is leaking down – elect failure could’ve occurred – check bleed air controls &CB’s
- Causes of problems
- stuck preset solenoid
- cracked pressure controller
- Diaphragh failure in press controller
- Disconnected or leaky plumbing
- Failed outflow valve

Landing Gear and Brakes
LANDING GEAR - Electrically Operated / Hydraulicly Actuated- powered from CENTRE BUS.
- Nose gear door - hinged at front , connected to the nose gear. Pulled closed / pushed open.
- Main gear doors - hinged at sides, spring loaded to open. Rollers / cams – pull doors shut on retraction. Mains sit slightly
proud.
LANDING GEAR OPERATION, when pump in operation – HED’s off – keep bus ties closed.
- Extension / retraction of landing gear - hydraulic power pack (tank / pump – L wing). Hydraulic actuators hold gear UP.
RETRACTION: Hydraulic lines ⇒ lower end of nose gear actuator. upper end of mains actuator.
Selected UP. Power pack - pressure to actuators (attached to the drag braces). Collet locks unlock with 200-400 psi hydraulic
pressure applied. At 2775psi – press switch stops pump. If press drops below 2320psi – another press switch ensures gear
remains up.
- Accumulator provides residual pressure – reduces hyd motor cycles. - 800psi & charged with Nitrogen. - left wheel well
EXTENSION: Power-pack pressure ⇒ actuators until all 3 greens or after 16 seconds – timing relay trips 2amp CB.
For 3 greens, need 6 switches triggered to stop power-pack & extinguish selector (3 x overcentre drag brace, 3 x collet locks-
in actuators).
- If Green lights are off – gear is either up or unlocked. If unlocked – selector ⇒ Red.
- If selector Red – gear is either in transit, unlocked, or gear position disagrees with
selector. – dual bulb in selector.
- Min of 2min between first 3 cycles. Then 5 min between subsequent cycles..
- The gear warning horn will sound & selecter under the following situations
1. Below 85% N1 without 3 greens
2. Flaps beyond 17 without 3 greens.
- to cancel warning horn - 1 button on L power lever & button on pilots side sub panel – will not cancel if past flap 17º
Hand pump - manual extension only, 80-100 pumps - Uses fluid from Emerg side of reservoir & separate lines to actuators.
- will get 3 greens, except elect failure – capt pumps continuosly
- do not stow – keep pressure in system

- Reservoir pressurised by 18 psi bleed air for positive pressure.
BRAKES / ANTI-SKID
- Pilot & Co-pilot have master cylinders – neither has exclusive control. Operating both – cumulative effect.
- Multi spot / Multi disc system.
- Park – just like Cessna 152. (if for long periods – use chocks, not brakes. Thermal Expansion – burst lines)
- Reservoir – in avionics bay, fwd press bulkhead. Can check from Nose wheel well, upper starboard side.
- The accumulator for the brakes - charged to 600psi -enough press stored for 10 brake actions.
- max wear 0.34inch between press. plate & piston with park brake set. (normally considerably more, report if flush)
- Hub mounted generators - send rpm differential signal to anti-skid computer - releases brake press if 1 wheel slows / skid
imminent.
- System inop below 10 kts G/S
- Hyd shuttle valve - switch brake system between normal & anti-skid mode
Anti Skid Pump / Actuator. Nose wheel well - Electrically driven - Maintains press 950 – 1375 psi, if not sustained ANTI SKID
FAIL.
Pump ON @ 615 – 655 psi - ANTI SKID FAIL after 10 secs delay
- If Anti-Skid Fails – master cylinder control still available.
ANTI SKID FAIL could also indicate an electrical fault
