PA-28R-201 Systems Andy Philbin
Objectives • Arrow Fuel System • Arrow Propeller System • Arrow Landing Gear • Oxygen Systems and Pressurization • Arrow Preflight
Fuel System Components • Two Fuel Tanks – 72 Usable Gallons 75 Total / 50 to Tabs – Vents – Sumps – Gasket • Fuel Selector – Three Position • Fuel Filter – Gascilator Low Point Sump • Engine Driven Fuel Pump • Boost Pump • Fuel Control Unit / Servo Regulator • Flow Divider • Fuel Flow Gauge • Fuel Injectors
Fuel Pumps • Engine Driven – Driven off of the Accesory Case of the Engine / Diaphragm Type Pump • Electric Boost Pump – Electric Driven Vane Type Pump
Fuel Control Unit / Servo Regulator • Fuel Control Unit / Servo Regulator Same Component • Fuel Control Unit Point of Mixture Control – Variable Orifice • Servo Regulator Uses Differiential Pressure to Determine a Fuel Value • Fuel Diaphragm • Air Diaphragm • Ball Valve • Servo Regulator also has Internal Throttle Body – Attached to Throttle (Butterfly Valve)
Servo Regulator • Normal Operations Mixture Control • Idle Mixture Control • Idle Speed Control • Differential Pressure and how it controls fuel value
Flow Divider • Normal Operations • Outlet to Fuel Flow Gauge • Outlet to Servo Regulator • Outlets to the Injectors • Shut Down Operations • Vapor Lock – How the Flow Divider Helps Prevent It
Fuel Injectors • Filter Screen • Principles of CIS • Emulsion Chamber • How this affects the spray pattern
Piper Arrow Propeller System • Propeller Control Lever • Speeder Spring • Pilot Valve • Fly Weights • Governor Pump • Propeller Hub – Piston return Spring • Spinner
Prop Overspeed TO OIL SUMP TO PROPELLER
Prop Underspeed TO OIL SUMP TO PROPELLER
Piper Arrow Gear System • Electro Hydraulic Fully Reversible • Fluid Used – MIL-H-5606 – Red in color • Normal Operations • Hydraulic • Electrical • Emergency Operations • Caution and Warning Systems
Arrow Gear Common Questions • Why is Vlr Different then Vle? • What is the purpose of the Snubber Orifice? • What is the purpose of the orifice on the nose wheel? • What does the 020 Diameter Bleed Hole Do? • Why do we have to slow to 87 to manually extend the gear? • How would you trouble shoot gear that failed to extend? Retract? • When does the gear horn go off? • Why doesn’t the nose wheel bind when you move the rudders with the gear retracted? • What turns off the hydraulic pump? Extension? Retraction?
Why do we need oxygen systems? • Flight at higher altitudes – favorable winds, better aircraft economy (ram recovery with turbine aircraft) • Regulatory Requirements – 91 and 121 • Emergency Systems – failure of aircraft structure or pressurization systems
Oxygen Regulations Part 91 • 91.211 – 12,500 – 14,000, 14,000, 15,000 • Pressurized Aircraft – Above 25,000 10 min supply for all passengers • Above FL350 One crew member must wear or have a system able to supply O2 while wearing if cabin altitude exceeds 14,000 feet., or if both pilots at controls and both have quick don type masks and below FL410. • If one pilot leaves then the other must put on the mask.
Part 121 Oxygen Requirements • 121.333 – 120 min rule – 10 min descent from cruise and 110 min of cruise at 10,000 • 10 min supply for 10% of the passengers • 15 min supply for cabin attendants wherever they are when the decompression occurs.
Types of Oxygen Systems • Continuous flow – Usable up to FL250 or FL180 with nasal canula. • Dilluter Demand – Good up to FL350 • Pressure Demand – Up to FL410 • Theories of operation
Why do we need pressure demand oxygen systems? • Dalton’s Law – Partial Pressure’s of Oxygen • Law of Gaseous Diffusion and how respiration works • With a low partial pressure of oxygen in the cabin with each breath we take in even breathing 100% oxygen we can rob our bodies of O2 due to a greater pressure differential • Pressure breathing allows higher partial pressure in the lungs and the O2 to pass through the alveolar membrane
Methods of Oxygen Storage • High Pressure Bottles – 1800-1850 PSI • Low Pressure Bottles – 400-450 PSI • LOX • Chemical Oxygen Generators • Oxygen Generating Systems
Oxygen Storage and Usage Safety • Graham’s Law – As temperature increases the pressure increases • Leaving tanks out in the sun the could quickly become empty • Hoses crack after exposure to extremes of temperature • Use of petroleum based products is not recommended due to extremely flammable nature in pure O2 Environment.
Oxygen Preflight Check • S – Supply • C – Connections • R – Regulator • E – Emergency Equipment • A – Adjustments • M - Mask
Types of Pressurization • Isobaric Control • Differential Pressure Control
Pressure Differential Theory • SL 14.7 psi • 4000 12.7 psi • 8000** 10.9 psi • 10,000 10.1 psi • 14,000 8.6 psi • 20,000 6.8 psi • 30,000 4.4 psi • 41,000 2.5 psi 2.5 psi 10.9psi 10.9 Cabin - 2.5 Ambient 8.4 Differential
