  • Propeller Operation and Malfunctions Basic Familiarization for Flight Crews
    PROPELLER OPERATION AND MALFUNCTIONS BASIC FAMILIARIZATION FOR FLIGHT CREWS INTRODUCTION The following is basic material to help pilots understand how the propellers on turbine engines work, and how they sometimes fail. Some of these failures and malfunctions cannot be duplicated well in the simulator, which can cause recognition difficulties when they happen in actual operation. This text is not meant to replace other instructional texts. However, completion of the material can provide pilots with additional understanding of turbopropeller operation and the handling of malfunctions. GENERAL PROPELLER PRINCIPLES Propeller and engine system designs vary widely. They range from wood propellers on reciprocating engines to fully reversing and feathering constant- speed propellers on turbine engines. Each of these propulsion systems has the similar basic function of producing thrust to propel the airplane, but with different control and operational requirements. Since the full range of combinations is too broad to cover fully in this summary, it will focus on a typical system for transport category airplanes - the constant speed, feathering and reversing propellers on turbine engines. Major propeller components The propeller consists of several blades held in place by a central hub. The propeller hub holds the blades in place and is connected to the engine through a propeller drive shaft and a gearbox. There is also a control system for the propeller, which will be discussed later. Modern propellers on large turboprop airplanes typically have 4 to 6 blades. Other components typically include: The spinner, which creates aerodynamic streamlining over the propeller hub. The bulkhead, which allows the spinner to be attached to the rest of the propeller.

Crash Following In-Flight Fire, Fresh Air, Inc., Convair CV-440-38, N153JR, San Juan, Puerto Rico, March 15, 2012. Aircraft Accident Report NTSB/AAR-14/04. Washington, DC. Abstract: This report discusses the March 15, 2012, accident involving a Convair CV-440-38, N153JR, operated by Fresh Air, Inc., which crashed into a lagoon about 1 mile east of the departure end of runway 10 at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, San Juan, Puerto Rico. The two pilots died, and the airplane was destroyed by impact forces. Safety issues include inadequate Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) oversight of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 125 operations, inadequate evaluation of Fresh Air’s compliance with FAA-approved procedures, and evaluation of 14 CFR Part 125 pilots using another operator’s operations specifications. Safety recommendations are addressed to the FAA. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent federal agency dedicated to promoting aviation, railroad, highway, marine, and pipeline safety. Established in 1967, the agency is mandated by Congress through the Independent Safety Board Act of 1974 to investigate transportation accidents, determine the probable causes of the accidents, issue safety recommendations, study transportation safety issues, and evaluate the safety effectiveness of government agencies involved in transportation.

  • 2.10. ENGINES the Airplane Is Powered by Two Counter-Rotating Pratt & Whitney PT6A-66 Turboprop Engines, Each Flat Rated to 850 SHP
    PILOT’S OPERATING HANDBOOK P.180 AVANTI II DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ENGINES 2.10. ENGINES The airplane is powered by two counter-rotating Pratt & Whitney PT6A-66 turboprop engines, each flat rated to 850 SHP. The rated power can be maintained during cruise to approximately 25,000 feet on a standard day. Inlet air enters the engine through an annular plenum chamber, formed by the compressor inlet case. The four-stage axial and single-stage centrifugal compressor is driven by a single-stage turbine. Downstream the compressor the air is routed through diffuser tubes to the combustion chamber liner. The flow of air changes direction of 180 degrees as it enters and mixes with fuel. The fuel/air mixture is ignited by two spark igniters, which protrude into the combustion chamber, and the resultant expanding gases are directed to the compressor turbine and then to the power turbine. The compressor and power turbines are located in the approximate center of the engine with their respective shafts extending in opposite directions. The exhaust gas from the power turbine is collected and ducted in the bifurcated exhaust duct and directed to atmosphere via twin opposed exhaust stubs. The fuel supplied to the engine from the airplane fuel system is routed through an oil-to-fuel heater to an engine-driven fuel pump where it is further pressurized. The fuel pump delivers the fuel to a fuel control unit, which determines the correct fuel schedule for engine steady state operation, both with and without power augmentation and acceleration. A flow divider supplies the metered fuel flow to the primary or to both primary and secondary fuel manifolds as required.

  • Propeller Electronic Control (PEC)
    Dash8 - Q400 - Propeller 1. General The propeller control system consists of the following components: • Propeller Electronic Control (PEC) Unit • Propeller Pitch Control Unit (PCU) • High Pressure PCU Oil Pump and Propeller O/S Governor Units (referred to as overspeed governor) • Propeller Feathering Pump • Propeller System Sensors The function of the propeller system is to modulate the propeller blade pitch to control the propel- ler speed in flight constant speed modes and in reverse, and to provide smooth thrust transients in response to PLA movement. This system also limits the minimum blade angle obtainable in flight. In addition, the system provides the ability to feather the propeller on demand, minimize cabin noise in synchrophase mode and automatically feather the propeller in the event of an engine failure, when the autofeather system is selected. 2. Propeller Electronic Control (PEC) Unit The Propeller Electronic Control (PEC) (Figure 12.22-4) is a dual channel microprocessor-based controller which uses inputs from the aeroplane, propeller control system sensors, and the engine control system to control propeller pitch and speed. The PECs for both propeller systems are mounted in their respective engine nacelles. Each unit performs a number of safety functions including Autofeather and Automatic Under- speed Propeller Control (AUPC) which causes the propeller to operate on the overspeed governor in the event if a drive coarse failure. It also provides an UPTRIM command to the FADEC of the working engine. All of these functions are isolated from the basic control functions of the PEC. 3. Propeller Pitch Control Unit (PCU) The propeller Pitch Control Unit (PCU) is a hydromechanical device that interfaces with the pro- peller.

Of the 44 persons aboard, 10 were injured seriously. The aircraft was damaged substantially during the crash sequence and was destroyed by ground fire. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the accident was the unwanted autofeather of the left propeller just after takeoff and an encounter with turbulence and downdrafts--a combination which exceeded the aircraft's singleengine climb capability which had been degraded by the high density-altitude and a turn to avoid an obstacle in the flightpath.

BEECHCRAFT A100 KING AIR C-FGIN QUÉBEC, QUEBEC 23 JUNE 2010 The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) investigated this occurrence for the purpose of advancing transportation safety. It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability. Aviation Investigation Report Engine Problem - Collision with Terrain Aéropro (2550-4330 Québec Inc.) Beechcraft A100 King Air C-FGIN Québec, Quebec 23 June 2010 Report Number A10Q0098 Synopsis On 23 June 2010, the Beechcraft A100 King Air (registration C-FGIN, serial number B-164) operated by Aéropro (2550-4330 Québec Inc.) as flight APO201 was making an instrument flight rules flight from Québec to Sept-Îles, Quebec. At 0557 Eastern Daylight Time, the crew started its take-off run on Runway 30 at the Québec/Jean Lesage International Airport; 68 seconds later, the co-pilot informed the airport controller that there was a problem with the right engine and that they would be returning to land on Runway 30. Shortly thereafter, the co-pilot requested aircraft rescue and fire-fighting (ARFF) services and informed the tower that the aircraft could no longer climb. A few seconds later, the aircraft struck the ground 1.5 nautical miles from the end of Runway 30. The aircraft continued its travel for 115 feet before striking a berm. The aircraft broke up and caught fire, coming to rest on its back 58 feet further on. The 2 crew members and 5 passengers died in the accident.
