What are some possible indications of a TD Control Valve System Malfunction? Discuss how you correct the issue. [FM 3-26]
A malfunction of the TD control valve system of an engine may cause a sudden increase or decrease in TIT with an accompanying change in torque and fuel flow indication. If this condition occurs during stabilized operation, place the TD control valve switch for that engine in the NULL position. If TIT stabilizes and returns to near normal, leave the switch in the NULL position, and continue operation. If the malfunction persists, other engine systems are at fault. Monitor TIT closely during NULL operation as maximum TIT can often be exceeded at advanced throttle settings under these conditions.

What are you concerned about when landing with an Ess AC Bus failure? [FM 3-40]
Anti-skid dumping brake pressure or locking up. This is not stated in the Flight Manual. Anti-skid is on Main DC. Partial Loss of ESS AC may be caused by a CB on FS 245 causing one of the phases to be failed. This bad power then travels through the TRs which may provide a distorted output. When landing, the reverse current relay will open allowing the distorted power to flow from the ESS DC to Main DC the anti-skid valve may sense locked brakes and dump brake pressure or may cause the brakes to lock up while landing. Emergency brakes are not an option since they require the aux pump (ESS AC) to operate. Tom wisdom: This was tested with the old analog equipment. Pwr went Ess AC Bus - TR - Ess DC Bus - Main DC Bus (backwards) - Anti-skid and locked the brakes.

Discuss decision points for dumping fuel and closing bleeds with engine failure after takeoff.
BLEEDS: When you are TIT limited (hot temp/high DA) on the TOLD card (max torque is posted below 19.6) closing the bleeds will get you a little more power because you have not yet hit max torque. When you are Torque limited (cold temp/low DA) on the TOLD card (max TIT is posted below 1077) closing the bleeds will NOT give you more power because you can't increase torque anymore. Close all four bleed valves when closing the bleeds. Just closing symmetrical bleeds will bog down the other two engines.

What is the difference between Balanced CFL and Unbalance CFL? [1-1 3-14,15; 3-59; 3-63]
Balanced CFL: -The distance required to continue take-off is equal to the distance required to stop. --The aircraft accelerates to Vcef then has an engine failure. At that point, stopping and going are equal. Balanced CFL is then the total length of the accel + stop/go. *The engine failure point for Balanced CFL is Vcef. This is a theoretical number and not something that is actually calculated. Unbalanced CFL: -Stop distance is greater than the distance required to continue take-off. --The aircraft accelerates to the lesser of Vmcg or Vrot (Vto - 5 knots) then has an engine failure. At that point, the distance required to go is less than the distance required to stop. Unbalance CFL is then the total length of the accel + stop distance. *The engine failure point for Unbalanced CFL is Vmcg or Vrot. Basically, if the controlling CFL is Balanced CFL and you lose an engine, then you know you will have the ability to stop the aircraft. If the controlling CFL is Unbalanced CFL and you lose an engine, then you may not have the ability to stop the aircraft if you are above the lesser of Vmcg of Vrot. You are committed to takeoff.

How is propeller pitch controlled?
Big Picture: In Alpha, prop is variable pitch. In Beta, prop is controllable pitch. In Alpha: 100% RPM is maintained by a Speed Sensing Pilot Valve (speeder spring and fly-weight) located in the valve housing. The fly-weight and speeder spring work to maintain 100% RPM. Inc throttle - More fuel - Higher RPM - Fly weight moves - speed spring compensates - more oil to the front of prop piston - prop angle increase - bigger bite of air - RPM slows back to 100% Throttle decrease - Less fuel - Lower RPM - Fly weight slows and spring compensates - more oil to back of prop piston - prop angle decreases - less bite of air - RPM increases to 100% In Beta: Throttles are mechanically links to the Speed-Sensing Pilot Valve to control blade angle. They are also mechanically linked to fuel metering valve).

Vcef [1-1 3-14]
Critical Engine Failure Speed -Used for calculating Balanced CFL. For balanced CFL, it is defined as that speed to which the airplane can accelerate, lose an engine, and then either continue the take-off with the remaining engines or stop in the same total runway distance. It should be noted that when the unbalanced CFL is established by Vmcg, the Vcef will be the lower of the Vrot or Vmcg. The acceleration distance is based on all engines set at computed take-off power, not exceeding 19,600 inch-pounds of torque. Stopping distances are based on two engines (symmetrical power) in reverse thrust, one engine in ground idle, one propeller wind-milling, and maximum braking with anti-skid operative or inoperative.

If oil pressure is decreasing out of limits, perform the ENGINE SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE.
Engine oil quantity is less than 4 gallons with a red band around the oil quantity box. Which EP do you call for? Summarize the EP. [FM 3-28]
DECREASING OIL QUANTITY The low oil quantity warning (red band around oil quantity indicator) appears when the oil level in a tank drops to approximately 4.0 gallons. This condition warrants careful monitoring of the engine instruments for the engine with the low oil quantity gauge reading, but no corrective action is required as long as the engine instrument readings arewithin limits. If engine instrument readings are out of limits, perform the ENGINE SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE. NOTE If the rate of quantity loss is gradual and length of mission would require engine shutdown prior to termination, the PIC may elect to shut down the affected engine and restart at a later time when conditions necessitate. If during flight the aircrew notices a loss of engine oil quantity with heavy smoke coming out of the tailpipe area, the engine should be monitored during flight and the aircrew should perform the ENGINE SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE prior to landing. This should prevent oil combustion in the tailpipe after landing.

During In-Flight Door Warning, what are you considering for the Flight Engineer's check of the door? [FM 3-53]
Don't have the FE check the door if it is not required. If it is required, ensure he is strapped in properly. A Flight Engineer has been injured before when the crew entrance door inadvertently opened in flight. Warning: The Flight Engineer will check the doors, wearing a restraint harness. To check the crew entrance door, connect the restraint harness leash snap to the tiedown ringmounted on the Radio Operator seat track. If it cannot be determined what caused the door light to illuminate, the flight may be continued with partial pressurization, at the discretion of the PIC (below the point where the light illuminates and with all personnel secured by safety belts). If the doors are secure and the trouble is determined to be a door warning switch, the airplane may be fully pressurized.

What does it mean to you if the controlling CFL is Balanced CFL? Unbalanced CFL? [1-1 3-14,15; 3-59; 3-63]
If the controlling CFL is Balanced CFL and you lose an engine, then you know you will have the ability to stop the aircraft. If the controlling CFL is Unbalanced CFL and you lose an engine, then you may not have the ability to stop the aircraft if you are above the lesser of Vmcg of Vrot. You are committed to takeoff. Unbalanced CFL accelerate-stop distances are scheduled to and from Vrot when Vrot is less than Vmcg. This is based on the premise that if an engine failure occurs after Vrot but before Vmcg then the airplane is capable of a safe takeoff on the remaining available engines.

Summarize Increasing Pressure (EMERGENCY OPERATION OF CABIN PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM) [FM 3-60]
Increasing pressure can result from failure of the outflow valve in a closed or nearly closed position when it cannot be opened either by automatic or manual control methods. In this case, cabin pressure might increase at an excessive rate and could not be reduced by normal means. If this condition is encountered, proceed as follows: 1. Immediately shut off engine bleed air, one engine at a time, until the rate of pressure increase is at a safe (comfortable) value. 2. Control pressure by using engine bleed air as necessary to vary the amount of conditioned air supplied for pressurization. 3. If necessary for further control when descending, one of the air conditioning systems can be shut down to expedite depressurization of the airplane.

Summarize Decreasing Pressure (EMERGENCY OPERATION OF CABIN PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM) [FM 3-60]
Loss of ability to pressurize or maintain pressurization on either automatic or manual control may result from any of several causes. If this situation is encountered, proceed as follows: 1. The crew should don oxygen masks immediately. 2. Descend to or maintain an airplane altitude where oxygen is not required. WARNING Consideration should be given to range with or without use of oxygen before descent. 3. Check for excessive cabin leakage by checking doors, windows, hatches, and the safety valve. WARNING Do not attempt to lock or unlock any window, door, or hatch while the airplane is pressurized. First, depressurize the airplane; then turn the AIR CONDITIONING master switch to "AUX VENT." 4. Check the bleed air system for excessive external leakage. Turn off all pneumatic systems, and observe the bleed air pressure gauge. Shut off all engine bleed air, and time the bleed air system pressure drop from 65 to 35 psi. The time required for the pressure to drop from 65 to 35 psi should not be less than 16 seconds.
What types of malfunctions can cause MULTIPLE ENGINE POWER LOSS/RPM ROLLBACK? [FM 3-41]
Loss of positive fuel boost pressure, fuel system malfunction, or non--standard fuel management techniques can cause erratic engine performance or fuel starvation, leading to serious reductions in power output or flameout of multiple engines. Electrical system malfunctions that introduce abnormally low voltage to the Essential AC Bus can cause the four temperature datum amplifiers to malfunction, producing multiple engine torque reductions of up to 1,600 inch pounds per engine. Low voltage, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), or other electrical malfunctions can also cause the synchrophaser to reduce propeller RPM by a maximum of four percent. This may occur with or without torque or other engine instrument fluctuations caused by other system reactions to the low voltage. Low or fluctuating AC voltage can also cause erroneous instrument indications, which can be misinterpreted as actual fluctuations. TIT, torque, and fuel flow may be affected, as well as other systems on the affected bus.

What do each of the condition lever positions do? [FM 1-25]
RUN places the ignition system under control of the speed sensitive control. Energizes the ice detection system. No control over the prop in this position. AIR START is attained by holding the lever forward against spring tension. Closes the same switches closed by placing the condition lever in RUN and in addition causes the prop auxiliary feather motor to operate, thus providing pressure to unfeather the propeller. GROUND STOP closes the electrical fuel shutoff valve if the touchdown switches are closed. No control over the prop in this position. FEATHER turns on the auxiliary feather pump and mechanically and electrically energizes the feather solenoid to feather the prop. Mechanically and electrically closes the shutoff valve on the engine fuel control.
Describe the 3 relationships between Runway Available and Critical Field Length. [1-1 3-6 to 3-7] [1-1 3-37 to 3-39]
RUNWAY AVAILABLE LONGER THAN CRITICAL FIELD LENGTH (RECOMMENDED): In the case of a balanced CFL, the Vr is always higher than Vcef. This is because Vr is based on the Runway Available, while Vcef is based on the CFL. Note, also, Vcef is greater than Vmcg. The situation is similar in the case of an unbalanced CFL. In this case, the Vmcg sets the CFL, however, it is always less than Vr and Vrot. RUNWAY AVAILABLE EQUAL TO CRITICAL FIELD LENGTH (MINIMUM RECOMMENDED): In the case of a balanced CFL, the Runway Available is equal to the balanced CFL. When an engine failure occurs at the refusal point, the distance to continue a take-off on three engines is equal to the distance to stop. For this condition, Vcef is equal to Vr. When the CFL is unbalanced and is set by the Vmcg or Vrot (whichever is less), then Vmcg or Vrot is equal to Vr. The applicability of Vrot taking precedence over Vmcg as a stop speed is discussed under CRITICAL FIELD LENGTH. RUNWAY AVAILABLE LESS THAN CRITICAL FIELD LENGTH (NOT RECOMMENDED): Sheet 1 shows the case for which there is a region past the refusal point where, if an engine fails, it is not possible to either stop or continue the take-off within the remaining runway. It is impossible to select a decision/ refusal speed. Likewise, sheet 2 shows that, for an unbalanced CFL, a stop from Vmcg or Vrot can not be made within the Runway Available. It follows that the larger of Vmcg or Vrot is greater than Vr. A decision/refusal speed can not be selected. If the Runway Rvailable is less than the CFL, the airplane should be down-loaded for a safe take-off. NOTE: If the CFL is longer than the RA, for normal operation, the take-off gross weight should be reduced until CFL is equal to or less than RA. Rather than reducing weight, it may be possible to compute the CFL using the "with nose wheel steering" correction or perform a maximum effort take-off if CFL cannot be met.

You are established at 1,500 feet in a search during a long-range SAR case when you receive a PROP LOW OIL Warning Light. What do you do?
Technique only: 1. Don't touch the affected throttle 2. Max power on all other engines 3. Climb Because you are trying to establish a climb before the prop is completely out of oil. If the prop is still regulating, a climb to higher altitudes (or increase in TAS) will increase the blade angle. This will make it more useful for the transit home. Stated another way: When established at low altitudes, the air density is higher and prop angle is low. Low prop angle will give you higher drag during the flight home. Climbing and accelerating will increase blade angle and reduce drag for the return trip.

Describe pitchlock [FM 1-45]
The pitch lock mechanism prevents the blades from decreasing pitch if overspeeding of approximately 103 percent RPM occurs or if hydraulic pressure is lost. The stationary and rotating pitch lock ratchet rings are held disengaged by propeller oil pressure under control of the pitch lock regulator; they are spring--loaded to engage when the pressure is lost. Located in the Barrel Assembly -Controls CTM (Centrifugal Twisting Moment) -Provides some positive thrust despite prop malfunction -May not feather -Prevents decreasing blade angle -Pitchlock range is 25 to 55 degrees Pressurized fluid from the pressurized sump keeps two ratchets separated. -Activates with overspeed at 103% where a fly-weight cause pressure to be removed and the spring engages the ratchets. -Activates with a leak where pressure is removed and the spring engages the ratchets. Blade angle decreases 1.8 degrees as it pitchlocks. Therefore, RPM will increase slightly
Describe the Step Climb Cruise Profile. [1-1 5-11]
The recommended step for a step-climb cruise profile is 2,000 ft. To obtain maximum cruise performance for this condition, the following procedure is recommended: a. Determine initial airplane gross weight. b. Determine cruise ceiling c. Select desired altitude below cruise ceiling. d. Enter the Range Summary Charts to determine cruise speed, fuel flow and torque setting. (*Note: Spec Range Charts) e. Set the recommended power and adjust periodically as necessary as weight decreases due to fuel burn-off. Maintain a constant altitude until the gross weight has been reduced to a value which gives a cruise ceiling 2,000 ft above the altitude being maintained. f. At this point, advance power to maximum continuous and climb 2,000 ft; and repeat the procedure in d and e. *Note: The Spec Range Charts are significantly easier for determining this profile, but that's not what the 1-1 states. You can get torque setting, KTAS, KIAS and air nm per 1,000 lbs of fuel. You will still need to use the appropriate Range Summary Chart to get actual fuel flow. **Gouge: 194, you get 2 more (When airspeed increases to 194 KIAS at recommended long range cruise torque setting, you should be able to climb 2,000 ft) Cruise Ceiling (pg 5-18 to 5-25) Spec Range (pg 5-35 to 5-83) Range Summary (pg 5-87 to 5-183)

During the CRUISE ENGINE SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE, which engine should be shut down first? Which engine should be shut down second?
This is technique only. Not written in the flight manaul. #4 engine first because it does not run the Utility Hydraulic System. Since it is an outboard engine, you will already have shut down the engine that would give the greatest adverse yaw in the event of failure of another engine. Some people prefer to shut down the #3 engine first. If you choose to shut down 2 engines for operational purposes, then shut down the symmetrical engine on the opposite side.

Why do you need NTS for Air Start? [FM 2-75]
To prevent decoupling while the prop is rotating the engine for start. Placing the Condition Lever in Air Start causes the prop angle to decrease from feather. The prop then drives the engine for start; creating negative torque. When negative torque is sensed, NTS prevents decoupling by increasing prop angle back toward feather. Positive torque will be regained when the engine is operating and driving the prop. Warning: Do not attempt to restart an engine with an inoperative NTS except in case of a greater emergency. Prior to air-start of an engine on which the NTS has been previously determined to be inoperative, reduce the airspeed to 130 KIAS and the altitude to below 5,000 feet.
