  • 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.

  • DESCRIPTION Fokker 50
    Fokker 50 - Power Plant DESCRIPTION The aircraft is equipped with two Pratt and Whitney PW 125B turboprop engines, which are enclosed, in wing-mounted nacelles. Each engine drives a Dowty Rotol six-bladed reversible- pitch constant-speed propeller. The engine is essentially a twin-spool turbojet combined with a free power-turbine assembly, which drives the reduction gearbox and propeller via a third concentric shaft. Engine layout Air intake The air intake is located below the propeller spinner. The intake has an anti-icing system. Combustion section The combustion section comprises an annular combustion chamber, fourteen fuel nozzles, and two igniters. Fuel control is through combined mechanical and electronic control systems. High pressure spool This spool comprises a centrifugal compressor and a single stage axial turbine. HP-spool rpm (NH) is governed by fuel metering. The spool drives the HP fuel pump and the lubrication oil pumps. Low pressure spool This spool comprises a centrifugal compressor and a single stage axial turbine. The LP spool is ungoverned; it is free to adapt itself to the operating conditions. LP-spool rpm is designated NL. To ease the gas flow paths and to minimize the gyroscopic moment, the LP spool rotates in a direction opposite to the HP spool and power-turbine shaft. Power turbine The two-stage axial power turbine drives the propeller via the reduction gearbox. The propeller shaft line is set above the engine shaft centerline. Propeller rpm is designated NP. The reduction gearbox also drives an integrated drive generator, a hydraulic pump, a propeller-pitch-control oil pump, a propeller overspeed governor, and the NP indicator.

  • Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-3B) Chapter 2
    Chapter 2 Ground Operations Introduction All pilots must ensure that they place a strong emphasis on ground operations as this is where safe flight begins and ends. At no time should a pilot hastily consider ground operations without proper and effective thoroughness. This phase of flight provides the first opportunity for a pilot to safely assess the various factors of flight operations including the regulatory requirements, an evaluation of the airplane’s condition, and the pilot’s readiness for their pilot in command (PIC) responsibilities. 2-1 Flying an airplane presents many new responsibilities that are not required for other forms of transportation. Focus is often overly placed on the flying portion itself with less emphasis placed on ground operations; it must be stressed that a pilot should allow themselves adequate time to properly prepare for flight and maintain effective situational awareness at all times until the airplane is safely and securely returned to its tie-down or hangar. This chapter covers the essential elements for the regulatory basis of flight including an airplane’s airworthiness requirements, important inspection items when conducting a Figure 2-2. A visual inspection of the aircraft before flight is an preflight visual inspection, managing risk and resources, and important step in mitigating airplane flight hazards. proper and effective airplane surface movements including the use of the Airplane Flight Manual/Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AFM/POH) and airplane checklists. be kept accurate and secure but available for inspection.

Washington September 1947 NATIONAl, ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS TECHNICAL NOTE NO. 1427 LABORATORY INVESTIGATION OF ICE FORMATION AND ELIMINATION IN THE INDUCTION SYSTEM OF A LARGE TWIN -ENGINE CARGO AIRCRAFT By \Hllard, D. Coles SUMMARY The icing characteristics, the de-icing rate with hot air, and the effect of impact ice on fuel metering and mixture distribution have been determined in a laboratory investigation of that part of the engine induction system conSisting of a three-barrel injection­ type carburetor and a supercharger housing with spinner-type fuel injection from an l8-cylinder radial engine used on a large twin­ engine cargo airplane. The induction system remained ice-free at carburetor-air tem- o ' peratures above 36 F regardless of the moisture content of the air. Between carburetor-air temperatures of 320 and 360 F with humidity ratios in excess of saturation, serious throttling ice formed in the carburetor because of expansion cooling of the air; at carburetor-air temperatures below 32 0 F with humidity ratios , in excess of saturationj serious impact-ice formations occurred.
