E N D
Terminal Learning Objective (TLO) • Action: Describe components, operational characteristics, functions, restrictions and limitations of the CH-47D Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) • Condition: In a classroom, given a student handout • Standard: Correctly answer in writing, without reference, three of four questions, pertaining to Components, Operational Characteristics , Limitations, Functions, and Malfunctions of the CH-47D APU, In Accordance With (IAW) TM 1-1520-240-10 and the student handout
Terminal Learning Objective (TLO) (Cont) • Safety Requirements: None • Risk Assessment: Low • Environmental Consideration: None • Evaluation: Each student will be evaluated on this block of instruction during the written examination. This will be a criterion type examination requiring a GO on each scored unit. You will have 90 minutes for the exam
Learning Step/Activity (LSA) #1 1. Describe operational characteristics, of the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Components
Model T-62T-2B Manufactured by Turbomach Consumes 90 PPH Rated Power 95 SHP Weight 74.8 W/O Generator Single stage centrifugal compressor/PT Mounted at Sta. 600 Above the ramp General Characteristics
APU Mounting Points • Mounts:Two forward and two rigid links • APU to rotate down • Provide:Vertical and lateral support
