Fuselage
The fuselage is an aluminum alloy, semi-monocoque structure
consisting of transverse frames and bulkheads, longitudinal
stringers, and external skin panels. The nose wheel well struc-
ture, integral to the fuselage, provides attachment points for the
nose gear assembly and related components. Frames and
fittings are also provided for the attachment of doors and win-
dows. Composite nose and tailcone fairings provide aerody-
namic smoothness and access to avionics components. Carry-
thru spars pass laterally through the lower fuselage for attach-
ment of the wings. Carry-thru beams pass laterally through the
aft fuselage for attachment of the engines.
Wings
The wings are aluminum alloy, semi-monocoque structures
consisting of front (main) and rear spars, spanwise stringers,
chordwise ribs, and external skin panels. The wings and stub
wings are mated and secured by threaded fasteners at attach-
ment points on the upper and lower front and rear spars. Main
wheel wells, integral to each wing structure, provide attachment
points for the main gear assemblies and related components.
The skin panel directly above each main wheel well consists of
a honeycomb core material bonded between aluminum skin
panels. The interior of each wing, excluding the main wheel
well, is sealed for fuel storage forward of the rear spar, between
the inboard and outboard ribs. The fuel storage area is chemi-
cally treated and finished with an epoxy primer for corrosion
resistance.
Nose Section
Note: The avionics access panel and nose cap are removed
and installed as a single unit. The double row of fasteners
should not be disturbed unless separation of the nose cap from
the access panel is required for maintenance.
▲ PILOT'S WINDSHIELD
The upper left instrument panel contains the pilot’s audio con-
trol panel, outside air temperature (OAT) indicator, clock, and
optional angle-of-attack (AOA) indicator. The lower left instru-
ment panel contains electrical system switches and indicators,
fuel system switches and controls, engine switches, ice protec-
tion switches, exterior light switches, and the test selector
switch. The right instrument panel contains the copilot’s audio
control panel, battery temperature indicator (if installed), gyro
pressure gage (550-0626 and earlier), oxygen pressure gage,
and flight hours meter.

▲ REFRESHMENT CENTER
Each seat moves fore and aft along the rails on roller and guide
assemblies attached to its frame. Stop pins engage the rails to
secure the seat in position. Fore and aft adjustment is accom-
plished by lifting the handle located below the forward center of
the seat to disengage the stop pins from the rails, and sliding
the seat to the desired position. When located “over spar,”
seats 7 and 8 are secured directly to the rails and are not ad-
justable fore and aft once installed.
Before closing the cabin door, the stair assembly must first be
stowed. This is accomplished from outside the airplane by
lifting the stair assembly until a retraction lever at its forward
hinge point engages a spring clip in the lower door frame
structure. From inside the airplane, stepping on the retraction
lever causes the stair assembly to pivot on its hinges into the
stowed position. After stowing the stair assembly and disen-
gaging the door catch as previously described, the cabin door
is closed from outside the airplane by pushing the door aft and
inward to position it in the frame, and rotating the exterior
handle counterclockwise to the “LOCK” position. From inside
the airplane, the cabin door is closed by pulling the door aft
and inward to position it in the frame, using the assist chain
provided for this purpose, and rotating the interior handle
clockwise to the “LOCK” position. A rubber bumper is installed
on the forward stair frame to prevent damage if the cabin door
is inadvertently closed while the stair assembly is extended. A
recessed area of the interior door trim panel accommodates
the stowed stair assembly when the door is closed.
Note: After closing the cabin door from outside or inside the
airplane, the handle used must be returned to the stowed
position.
The upper and lower sections of the door are each held se-
curely closed by six cable-operated latch fittings which engage
eccentric latch posts on the door frame structure. Though each
door section is operated independently of the other, two lock-
ing pins integral to the upper door handle linkage secure both
sections together. The overcenter locking design of the upper
door handle linkage functions to prevent inadvertent opening of
the door, particularly from inside the airplane by requiring that
the interior or exterior handle be rotated fully to the “LOCK” or
“OPEN” position before being stowed.
With the upper section open, lifting the lower handle disen-
gages the latch fittings allowing the lower section to be ex-
tended. The steps are cable-operated and fold out automati-
cally during extension. When fully extended, the lower section
is supported by two cable assemblies attached to fittings on
the fore and aft door frame structure. A spring-loaded reel
assembly automatically retracts the support cables when the
lower section is closed. A gas-operated snubber dampens the
extension rate of the lower section. Cable assembly tension
should be inspected regularly to confirm that each carries an
equal load with weight on the steps and that no load is carried
by the snubber.
Note: After closing the upper section from outside or inside the
airplane, the handle used must be returned to the stowed
position.
Note: After closing the cabin door from outside or inside the
airplane, the door handle used must be returned to the stowed
position.

Overview
This chapter will discuss the engines of the Cessna Citation II,
their major components, controls, operation and indication. The
airplane is powered by two JT15D-4 lightweight, medium-
bypass, axial-flow, turbofan engines manufactured by Pratt &
Whitney Canada, Inc. The engines generate thrust which pro-
pels the airplane and rotational torque which powers all engine-
driven accessories. Indication of engine operating parameters
is displayed by gages on the upper center instrument panel.
Other indications are displayed on the annunciator panel.

The upper and lower cowlings are attached to the forward and
aft cowlings by quick-disconnect fasteners to facilitate removal
for inspection or servicing. The upper cowling incorporates the
oil filler access door. The lower cowling incorporates the
starter/generator cooling air outlet and an aerodynamic fairing
which encloses various engine drain lines that extend through
its lower surface. To reduce the transmission of engine noise to
the cabin, the forward and aft cowlings are attached directly to
the engine such that they make no contact with the pylon.
Engine Description
The outer, high pressure (N2) shaft supports the high turbine
and high compressor, associated primarily with the generation
of core thrust. The inner, low pressure (N1) shaft supports the
low turbines, low compressor (fan), and booster stage, associ-
ated primarily with the generation of bypass thrust. Both shafts
rotate in a clockwise direction at different speeds. In that no
mechanical link exists between the shafts, the engine is classi-
fied as a free-turbine.

Combustion Section
The combustion section consists of the combustion chamber,
fuel nozzles, and igniters. The annular, reverse-flow combustion
chamber, installed within the gas generator case, provides an
area for the mixture and ignition of air and fuel, and directs
combustion gas flow to the turbines. Concentric outer and inner
liners extend forward from the aft (domed) end of the combus-
tion chamber. Twelve adapters are positioned around the
domed end for insertion of the fuel nozzles. Two adapters are
positioned at 5 and 7 o’clock on the outer liner for insertion of
the spark igniters. At the forward end of the combustion cham-
ber, a large exit duct and small exit duct join the outer and
inner liners respectively.
The high turbine extracts energy from the combustion gas flow
to generate the rotational torque that drives the N2 shaft, high
compressor, and engine-driven accessories. The energy not
absorbed by the high turbine is directed to the low turbine
section.
Accessory Gearbox
The accessory gearbox (AGB), located on the lower intermedi-
ate case of the engine, houses the gearing and provides sup-
port for all engine-driven accessories except the N1 tachom-
eter generator. The AGB consists of a cast magnesium alloy
housing and rear cover. The housing provides bearing sup-
ported gear shafts which drive the centrifugal air/oil separator
and all externally-mounted engine accessories. External mount-
ing pads are provided for the starter/generator, engine-driven
fuel pump, hydraulic pump, oil pump assembly, and N2 ta-
chometer generator.
N2 Governing Section
The N2 governing section is associated primarily with engine
speed setting and speed control. Major components include a
speed scheduling cam, governor flyweights, feedback springs,
a governor lever, enrichment lever, enrichment valve, and
backup valve.
The flyweights are driven by the FCU coupling shaft such that
their lifting force varies with engine speed. Above approxi-
mately 85% N2, when flyweight lifting force is sufficient to
overcome the resistance of the smaller feedback spring, the
enrichment lever moves the enrichment valve toward closed
and less P3 air enters the FCU. As flyweight lifting force in-
creases, the enrichment lever makes contact with the governor
lever pivoting about the same point. When flyweight lifting force
is sufficient to overcome the resistance of the larger feedback
spring, the enrichment lever moves the governor lever toward
open and more Py pressure is bled to the atmosphere. The
corresponding decrease in Py pressure at the computing
section moves the metering valve toward closed and reduces
fuel flow to the engine. Conversely, an increase in Py pressure
at the computing section moves the metering valve toward
open and increases fuel flow to the engine. When Px and Py
are simultaneously decreased during decceleration or in-
creased during acceleration, Py pressure will have a greater
effect on metering valve position than Px pressure.

2. Step Modulator
The step modulator functions to maintain consistent accelera-
tion response by maintaining a constant P3 supply pressure to
the FCU. To accomplish this, the unit incorporates an electri-
cally-actuated restrictor orifice that is energized open primarily
when the engine ice protection system is activated. When
open, more P3 air than normal is supplied to the FCU to com-
pensate for that consumed in the bleed air heating of induction
air inlet components. The restrictor orifice is also energized
open when the engine ignition system is activated. When
closed, the supply of P3 air to the FCU returns to normal.

Fuel Drains
Two fuel drains, installed in the 1
6 o’clock position of the gas
generator case below the
combustion chamber, ensure
that all residual fuel which
accumulates in this area is
drained overboard after en-
gine shut down. Each drain is
fitted with a transfer tube that 3

carries residual fuel to a com-
mon drain valve installed on
the outer bypass duct. The 1. Combustion Drain Line
drain valve is spring-loaded to 2. Overboard Breather Tube
the open position and held 3. EPA Canister
closed during engine opera-
tion by P3 air pressure. When open, residual fuel is routed to an
overboard breather tube that extends through the lower engine
cowling. Residual fuel is also drained from the inner exhaust
nozzle through an overboard drain line that extends through the
lower engine cowling.

Oil Tank
The oil tank is integral to the
intermediate case. The tank is
serviced through a filler neck
located on the outboard inter-
mediate case, and is acces-
sible through a hinged door on
the upper cowling. A dipstick,
integral to the filler cap, is
provided for oil level inspec-
tion. The dipstick is calibrated
to indicate the approximate

From the filter, pressure oil flow is divided into three paths. The
first path directly supplies the AGB through an internal transfer
tube. The second path supplies the N1 shaft front (#1) bearing,
the N2 shaft front and rear (#2 and #3) bearings, and the tower
shaft bevel gears through an external transfer tube and internal
passages. The third path supplies the N1 shaft intermediate
and rear (#3½ and #4) bearings through an external transfer
tube and internal passages. Labyrinth air seals are used to
confine pressure oil to the bearing compartments.
Scavenge System
The scavenge system incorporates a pair of gear-type pumps
that are integral to the oil pump assembly and shaft-driven by
the AGB. The gearshaft that drives the oil pressure and scav-
enge pumps also drives the N2 tachometer generator.
Scavenge oil gravity drains from the #1, 2, 3, and #3½ bearings
to the AGB assisted by secondary air pressure from the bear-
ing compartment labyrinth seals. Scavenge oil from the #4
bearing is drawn through an external transfer tube by the
smaller of the two scavenge pumps. Scavenge oil from the
AGB is drawn through a filter screen by the larger scavenge
pump. From these pumps, scavenge oil is returned to the tank
through an external transfer tube and internal passage.
Breather System
The breather system incorporates a centrifugal impeller driven
by the AGB main shaft which also drives the starter/generator.
The impeller, also referred to as the centrifugal breather, sepa-
rates air from the AGB scavenge oil by centrifugal force. In
operation, air is drawn radially inward while oil is thrown radially
outward. Once separated, the relatively oil-free air is vented to
the atmosphere through an overboard breather tube that ex-
tends through the lower engine cowling.
Throttle Levers
The THROTTLE levers function to set engine speed and shut
down the engines. To accomplish this, THROTTLE lever move-
ment is transmitted to its associated FCU by “controlex” cables
and bellcrank assemblies. The FCU, in turn, is mechanically-
linked to the flow divider cut-off valve by an interconnect rod.
Fan Tachometer
The FAN tachometer provides indica-
tion of N1 shaft rotational speed in %
RPM, with 100% equaling approxi-
mately 15,904 RPM. The instrument
scale is graduated in 10% incre-
ments between 20 and 90%, and 2%
increments between 90 and 110%.
Numerical values are marked at each
10% increment between 20 and
110%. Green markings between 25
and 104% denote the normal indicat-
ing range. Red warning lines at
104% denote the maximum N1
limitation (16,540 RPM). Input signals
are supplied to each channel of the
gage by its associated left or right
N1 tachometer generator located on
the upper intermediate case.
Turbine Tachometer
The TURBINE tachometer provides
digital indication of high pressure
(N2) shaft rotational speed in %
RPM, with 100% equaling approxi-
mately 32,760 RPM. The readout
displays in tenths between 00.0 and
99.9%, and single-digits above
100%. A red light is located below each digital readout. When
N2 reaches the maximum 96% limitation (31,450 RPM), the
corresponding light will illuminate and readout will flash. Input
signals are supplied to each channel of the gage by its associ-
ated left or right N2 tachometer generator installed on the
forward AGB.

Thermal Detectors
Each engine is equipped with a thermal detector installed in
high-heat areas within each engine nacelle. The detector con-
sists of a 188-inch flexible steel tube containing a single wire
centered within a highly compacted semiconductor material.
The steel tube is hermetically sealed with fireproof connectors
at each end. The sensing elements form a closed-loop circuit
that detects fire within its associated engine compartment by
decreasing electrical resistance in response to heat.
Explosive Cartridges
The explosive cartridges are pyrotechnic devices installed
within the discharge valve assembly on each extinguisher
bottle. When the corresponding [BOTTLE ARMED PUSH]
annunciator/switch is depressed, its respective explosive
cartridge detonates, rupturing the cartridge housing assembly,
thereby removing the mechanical locking force against the
valve plug and allowing the valve plug to be expelled by extin-
guishing agent pressure. The valve plug and housing assembly
parts are captured by a strainer assembly.
Annunciator/Switches
The fire extinguishing system
is controlled using the left and
right red [ENG FIRE PUSH]
and white [BOTTLE ARMED
PUSH] annunciator/switches
on the glareshield panel. The
To prevent inadvertant actua-
tion, the [ENG FIRE PUSH]
annunciator switches are
guarded by hinged, spring-
loaded, transparent covers.
System Operation
If an overheat condition is detected, the appropriate [ENG FIRE
PUSH] annunciator/switch will illuminate. Depressing the [ENG
FIRE PUSH] annunciator/switch closes the corresponding fuel
and hydraulic firewall shutoff valves, takes the corresponding
starter/generator off-line, and arms both extinguisher bottles.
When the appropriate [BOTTLE ARMED PUSH] annunciator/
switch is depressed, the corresponding explosive cartridge is
detonated and extinguishing agent is routed through tubing
and discharged within the forward nacelle. Airplanes equipped
with thrust reversers also discharge extinguishing agent into
the area between the upper thrust reverser door and the engine
exhaust duct assembly through holes in the front flange of the
upper thrust reverser door.

annunciator/actuators and to
check continuity of their asso-
ciated sensors and detector
control units. When the rotary

Fuel System
Table of Contents
Table of Contents
Overview
This chapter will describe the Cessna Citation II fuel system, its
major components, controls, operation, and indication. The
airplane fuel supply is contained in two independent wing
systems connected by crossfeed lines. Fuel transfer and deliv-
ery of fuel to the engines is carried out by a distribution system
of motive flow ejector pumps, electrically-powered boost
pumps, engine-driven fuel pumps, and control valves. The
distribution system supplies fuel to the engines in excess of
that required for all operations. Indication of fuel quantity and
flow are displayed by gages on the upper center instrument
panel. Other system indications are displayed on the annuncia-
tor panel. Emergency fuel shutoff systems are provided.
The fuel storage system includes the fuel tanks, filler caps,
venting system, and fuel drains.
Fuel Tanks
The airplane fuel supply is stored in one integral tank per wing.
Each tank occupies roughly the entire inner area of the wing
forward of the rear spar, excluding the main wheel well, and is
formed by sealing all structural joints between the extreme
inboard and outboard ribs. The front spars and all interior ribs
incorporate holes that permit fuel migration within the tank.
Outboard interior ribs incorporate baffle plates to prevent rapid
fuel load shift when the airplane transitions to and from a wing-
low attitude. The fuel storage area is chemically-treated and
finished with an epoxy primer for corrosion resistance. During
normal operation, each engine is supplied by its associated
tank. During crossfeeding, fuel may be supplied from one tank
to both engines or, in the event of engine failure, from either
tank to the operative engine. Refer to the fuel system opera-
tional summaries in this chapter for a complete description of
these conditions.
Servicing
Each tank is serviced through a single, flush-mounted filler cap
located on the outboard upper surface of the wing. The loca-
tion of the filler caps ensures that sufficient fuel expansion
space will exist within the tanks when topped off. Filler cap
security should be checked during preflight. A fuel nozzle
grounding point is located on the lower surface of each wing
tip.
Approved fuels are JET A, JET A-1, JET B, JP-4, JP-5, or JP-8,
all with 0.15% PFA55MB anti-icing additive in solution. When
preblended fuel is not available, anti-icing additives conforming
to MIL-I-27686E (Ethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (EGME)) or
MIL-I-85470 (Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (DIEGME))
specifications such as “Prist” may be introduced directly into
the nozzle fuel stream during servicing. Concentrations of less
than 0.06% (20 fluid ounces of additive per 260 gallons of fuel
or more) may be insufficient to prevent fuel system icing or
microbiological contamination. Conversely, concentrations of
more than 0.15% (20 fluid ounces of additive per 104 gallons of
fuel or less) could cause damage to internal components of the
fuel system or erroneous fuel quantity indications.
As motive flow fuel enters each ejector pump through its pres-
sure inlet, pressure is reduced by venturi effect thereby draw-
ing fuel through its suction inlet. The suction inlet incorporates
a wire mesh fuel strainer to prevent solid particles from entering
the pump. A spring-loaded, ball-type check valve is installed in
each primary pump outlet to prevent reverse flow through the
pump when its associated boost pump is in operation. On
airplanes 550-0405 and earlier not incorporating SB550-28-1, a
motive flow pressure switch is located in each primary ejector
pump supply line. Refer to the motive flow pressure switch
description and engine starting operational summary in this
chapter for functional details.
Boost Pumps
One electrically-powered, centrifugal-type boost pump is sub-
merged in the sump area of each fuel tank. Each boost pump
provides fuel pressure to its respective engine during engine
start and opposite engine during crossfeeding. During condi-
tions of low fuel pressure or low fuel level, the boost pumps
may be activated to ensure uninterrupted fuel flow to the en-
gines. A check valve is installed in each pump outlet to prevent
reverse flow through the pump when it is not in operation.
Fuel Filters
Each fuel filter incorporates a disposable paper element that
functions to trap solid particle contaminants present in the fuel.
A differential pressure sensing switch and bypass valve are
integral to each filter head assembly. Should the differential
between filter inlet and outlet pressure exceed approximately
3.75 PSID, the corresponding amber [LH] or [RH] [FUEL FLTR
BYPASS] annunciator (550-0550 and after), or the amber [FUEL
FILT BYPASS] annunciator (550-0505 and earlier) will illuminate
indicating filter element obstruction and an impending bypass
condition. Should this differential exceed approximately 4.75
PSID, the bypass valve will open providing continued though
unfiltered fuel flow to the engine.
Crossfeed Valves
The crossfeed valves
function to permit sup-
plying fuel from one
tank to both engines or,
in the event of engine
failure, from either tank
to the operative engine.
Each ball-type valve is
motor-operated and
electrically-controlled
by a three-position LH
TANK/OFF/RH TANK
CROSSFEED selector
switch on the lower left
instrument panel. When positioned to “LH TANK” or “RH
TANK,” both valves are simultaneously energized open by 28
VDC power supplied through corresponding 15-amp LH
BOOST and RH BOOST circuit breakers on the left CB panel.
When open, either or both engines are supplied with fuel from
the selected tank. When positioned to “OFF,” both valves are
simultaneously deenergized closed and each engine is sup-
plied by its associated tank. Refer to the crossfeeding opera-
tional summary in this chapter for functional details.
Note: During crossfeeding, the motive flow shutoff valve for the
system not supplying fuel is energized closed by 28 VDC
power supplied through the same circuit that opens the
crossfeed valves.
28 VDC left main bus power is supplied to the left fuel quantity
indicating system through the 2-amp LH FUEL QTY circuit
breaker. 28 VDC right main bus power is supplied to the right
fuel quantity indicating system from the right main bus through
the 2-amp RH FUEL QTY circuit breaker. On airplanes 550-
0550 and after, the LH FUEL QTY and RH FUEL QTY circuit
breakers are located on the left and right CB panels respec-
tively. On airplanes 550-0505 and earlier, the LH FUEL QTY
and RH FUEL QTY circuit breakers are both located on the
right CB panel.
28 VDC left main bus power is supplied to the left fuel flow
indicating system through the 2-amp LH FUEL FLOW circuit
breaker. 28 VDC right main bus power is supplied to the right
fuel flow indicating system through the 2-amp RH FUEL FLOW
circuit breaker. On airplanes 550-0550 and after, the LH FUEL
FLOW and RH FUEL FLOW circuit breakers are located on the
left and right CB panels respectively. On airplanes 550-0505
and earlier, the LH FUEL FLOW and RH FUEL FLOW circuit
breakers are both located on the right CB panel. To prevent
erratic indication at low engine power settings, each fuel flow
indicating system channel is disabled by a corresponding
throttle cutoff switch when its associated THROTTLE lever is
positioned below approximately 10% N2.
Engine Starting
During the engine starting sequence, activation and deactiva-
tion of the starter motor, ignition system, and boost pump is
carried out by a series of relays in the start control circuit. When
activated, the boost pump supplies fuel pressure directly to the
engine. After light-off has occurred and the engine is operating
at a speed sufficient to sustain combustion, the starter motor,
ignition system, and boost pump are deactivated, thereby
terminating the starting sequence.
Normal Operation
With the engine operating and the engine-driven fuel pump
developing sufficient pressure to maintain motive flow, the
primary ejector pump supplies the engine-driven fuel pump
and transfer ejector pumps. En route to the engine-driven
pump, fuel passes through the maintenance shutoff valve, fuel
filter, and firewall shutoff valve. From the engine-driven pump,
fuel is directed through the FCU, fuel flow transmitter, oil-to-fuel
heat exchanger, and flow divider, to the fuel nozzles.
Crossfeeding
Crossfeeding permits fuel to be supplied from one tank to both
engines or, in the event of engine failure, from either tank to the
operative engine. Under normal operating conditions,
crossfeeding for the purpose of maintaining fuel load symmetry
is seldom necessary unless asymmetry exceeds 200 LBS.
When crossfeeding is necessary, the crossfeed selector switch
should be positioned to the tank indicating the higher fuel
quantity until fuel load symmetry is achieved.

the aileron. The actuator is
driven through a chain/cable
assembly that is operated by the aileron trim control knob. Due
to the positioning of the actuator, the trim tab moves in the
opposite direction of aileron movement, thereby functioning as
a servo-type trim tab and reducing the control forces required
to position the aileron during flight.

When both halves of the trim switch are held in the “UP” or
“DOWN” position, the servo-actuator motor and clutch are
energized by 28 VDC power supplied from the left main bus
(550-0550 and after) or right main bus (550-0505 and earlier)
through the 5-amp PITCH TRIM circuit breaker. When ener-
gized, the clutch engages the drum and the motor rotates the
assembly in the desired direction. When released, the motor
and clutch are deenergized, and both halves of the trim switch
return to their spring-loaded center (off) positions. On airplanes
550-0162 and after, when simultaneous or conflicting elevator
trim commands are given by the pilot and copilot, the pilot’s
commands override those of the copilot.
Pilot and copilot rudder pedals are provided for rudder opera-
tion, nosewheel steering, and airplane braking. Each rudder
pedal is fitted to an arm assembly that is suspended from a
pair of concentric, bearing supported torque tubes. The pilot’s
and copilot’s left rudder pedals are connected to the inner
torque tube; the pilot’s and copilot’s right rudder pedals are
connected to the outer torque tube. The outer torque tube is
comprised of two sections interconnected by a bridge assem-
bly which provides travel clearance for the copilot’s left rudder
pedal. Each torque tube incorporates link arms for the attach-
ment of its associated rudder and nosewheel steering control
cables. The inner and outer torque tubes are linked by an
interconnect cable such that each pair of pedals moves simul-
taneously.

Nosewheel Steering
The nosewheel
steering system is
operated by the
rudder pedals and
allows airplane 1
directional control
during ground
operations. Rudder
pedal operation is 3
transmitted by
cables to a
bellcrank located
within the nose
2
wheel well.
Bellcrank movement
is transmitted by a
spring-loaded 1. Steering Bellcrank
steering rod to a 2. Steering Rod
steering arm that 3. Steering Arm
operates a steering
gear mechanism mounted atop the trunnion. The steering arm
and gear mechanism are interconnected by a universal joint
that automatically centers the nosewheel during retraction. The
spring-loaded steering rod (bungee) allows the nosewheel to
be positioned beyond rudder pedal travel limits when using
differential braking or power, or when the airplane is being
towed.
When taxiing, the minimum wing tip turning radius using differ-
ential braking and partial power is 69.3 feet. This method
causes excessive wear on the tires, and should be employed
sparingly. If the airplane is parked with the nose wheel cocked
to one side, initial taxiing should proceed with caution.
Caution: Nose gear forced beyond the towing stop (95° limit)
will shear bolts attaching steering gear assembly to cylinder.

Flap Control
Flap position is controlled
using the FLAP lever located
on the center pedestal to the
right of the THROTTLE levers.
The FLAP lever can be set to
any flap position between
“FLAPS UP” (0°) and “LAND”
(40°); the FLAP lever incorpo-
rates a mechanical detent at
the “T.O. & APPR” (15°) posi-
tion. Full flap extension is
selected by pushing the FLAP lever fully down past the “T.O. &
APPR” detent to the “LAND” position.
The landing gear warning horn sounds if the FLAP lever is set
below the T.O. & APPR position and the gear is not down and
locked, regardless of airspeed or THROTTLE lever position.
The horn is energized by one or more downlock switches within
the landing gear actuators in conjunction with a flap approach
switch incorporated within the FLAP lever assembly. The flap
approach switch is actuated closed by the FLAP lever when set
below the T.O. & APPR position (approximately 15°).
The flap control circuit and actuator motors receive 28 VDC left
main bus power through the 5-amp FLAP CONTROL and 15-
amp FLAP MOTOR circuit breakers respectively, each located
on the left CB panel.

Overview
Battery
The 20-cell 44 amp-
hour (550-0550 and 2
after) or 19-cell 40
amp-hour (550-0505
and earlier) nickel-
cadmium (NiCad)
battery is secured by
a hold-down clamp
to a battery tray
mounted within the
aft fuselage. The 1
amp-hour rating
3
indicates that when
new and fully
charged, the battery
is capable of deliver- 1. Battery Vent Tube
ing one amp of 2. Battery Hold Down
current for 44 hours 3. Battery Tray
(in the case of 44
amp-hr battery), before reaching a fully discharged condition.
The following formula: amp-hr rating ÷ amp load = hours avail-
able, may be used to approximate hours of battery power avail-
able in the event of a dual generator failure. In the case of a 44
amp-hr battery, this is accomplished as shown in the following
example: 44 amp-hr ÷ 88-amp load = 0.5 hours.
Voltage Regulation
Voltage regulation is accomplished by an integrated circuit
which essentially compares actual generator output to a
regulated reference voltage (28.5 VDC ± 1 VDC). When
sensing a differential between these two voltages, the inte-
grated circuit regulates field excitation thereby regulating
generator output. The circuit also incorporates a field relay
which operates in conjunction with its respective GCU’s
control relay. Input to each GCU relative to the output of its
respective generator is routed through the 10-amp LH GEN
SENSE and RH GEN SENSE circuit breakers (not accessible
from the flight compartment.)
Load Sharing
Load sharing is accomplished by an equalizer connection
between the left and right GCUs and an integrated equalizer
circuit resident to each GCU. This circuit essentially “regu-
lates” voltage regulator output to maintain load sharing within
± 40 amps (under normal operating conditions). The circuit
incorporates an equalizer relay which operates in conjunc-
tion with its respective GCU control relay. Essentially, when-
ever the control relay is deenergized, the equalizer relay is
deenergized thereby interrupting the equalizer circuit and
isolating a “tripped” generator should a ground fault occur.
Overvoltage/Overexcitation Protection
Overvoltage and overexcitation protection is provided by
each GCU in conjunction with its voltage regulation and load
sharing equalizer circuits. Should either GCU’s voltage
regulation circuit fail, generator output will increase to 35
VDC and an overvoltage integrator will trip the associated
field relay after a predetermined period of time thereby taking
the generator off-line. When the generators are paralleled
and sufficiently loaded, overvoltage may not occur; however,
a malfunctioning voltage regulation circuit can result in its
associated generator assuming a greater percentage of the
load. When this occurs, a “deexcitation” signal is provided
by the equalizer circuit to the voltage regulation circuit and
the overvoltage integrator thereby taking the generator
off-line.
Field Weakening
The GCU field weakening feature regulates field excitation to
assure that the starter/generator operates as a starter and
does not generate power during engine start. This function is
accomplished by controlling field excitation so as to main-
tain starter/generator interpole winding current below the
level needed to initiate power generation. The field weaken-
ing circuitry initiates current regulation when starter/genera-
tor interpole winding current drops below the field weaken-
ing threshold value, and continues until starter speed
reaches the cut-off value (approximately 40% N2). To avoid
nuisance trips, all other GCU protection functions are dis-
abled during engine start.
Starter Cut-Off
A starter cut-off circuit, integral to each GCU, functions to
terminate the start sequence as a function of engine speed
(approximately 40% N2). Speed sensing is provided by a
tach drive integral to the starter/generator. The field weaken-
ing circuitry of each GCU, functions to regulate field excita-
tion during the engine start sequence until starter cut-off
occurs. Should the starter cut-off circuit malfunction below
cut-off speed, the power relay will be closed, the equalizer
relay will be open, and the starter will continue motoring the
engine until manually disengaged.
With the battery switch set to “BATT” and the battery relay
closed, external power is made available to the distribution
system and charging current is supplied to the battery. During
engine start using external power, a battery disconnect relay
opens, thereby isolating the battery from the distribution system.
With 28 VDC external power applied, battery power is con-
served during engine starting, or when testing electrical equip-
ment on the ground.
Overvoltage/Overcurrent Protection
The overvoltage/overcurrent protection system prevents dam-
age to the starter/generators, avionics equipment, lights, and/or
other electrical equipment if external power source voltage and/
or current exceeds limits. The system also prevents battery
current from augmenting external power source current, which
would cause an electrical overload.
Battery Bus
Battery power is routed from the hot battery bus to the battery
bus through the battery relay, which is controlled by the battery
switch. When the battery switch is in the “BATT” position and
battery voltage is at least 17 volts, the battery relay is energized
closed and battery power is supplied to the battery bus. When
set to “OFF” the battery is isolated from all but the hot battery
bus. When set to “EMER” the battery is isolated from all but the
hot battery bus and the emergency battery bus.
Emergency Bus
The emergency bus is powered by the battery when the battery
switch is set to “BATT” or “EMER”. When in the “EMER” position,
the battery relay is opened, disconnecting the main DC busses
and the battery bus from the emergency bus. Use of the emer-
gency bus enables critical airplane components to be powered
by the battery but electrically isolated from malfunctioning
starter/generator(s) or other components. The emergency bus
circuit is protected by a 20-amp EMER POWER circuit breaker
(not accessible from the flight compartment).
When set to the upper “BATT” position, the battery relay and
emergency relay are simultaneously energized closed thereby
connecting the battery to the battery bus and the emergency
bus to the hot battery bus (550-0626 and earlier) or to the bat-
tery bus (550-0627 and after). When set to the center “OFF”
position, the battery relay and emergency relay are
deenergized open thereby isolating the battery from all but the
hot battery bus. When set to the lower “EMER” position, the
battery relay is deenergized open while the emergency relay
remains energized closed thereby isolating the battery from all
but the hot battery bus and the emergency bus. In this condi-
tion, no more than 30 minutes of battery power is available to
the emergency bus.
Starter/Generator Switch
Each starter/generator switch,
located on the lower left instru-
ment panel, controls the oper-
ating state of its associated
starter/generator. When set to
the upper (on) position each
generator switch supplies an
“on-line” signal to its associ-
ated GCU thereby activating
its generator mode functions.
When either switch is set to the center “OFF” position, the on-
line signal is interrupted. The momentary “RESET” position of
each generator switch functions to restore the signal supplied
to the GCU.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter provides a means of monitoring starter/generator
output voltage or battery bus voltage as determined by the
position of a selector switch adjacent to the meter. When set to
“LH GEN” (left starter/generator), or “RH GEN” (right starter/
generator), the voltage of the selected source is indicated.
When set to “BATT,” electrical system voltage monitored at the
battery bus is indicated.
Ammeters
Independent left and right ammeters indicate the load carried
by each generator. The ammeter scale is graduated in 50-amp
increments from 0 to 400 amps, with numerical values marked
at each 100-amp increment.
DC Circuit Protection
Circuit Breakers
Most circuit breakers are located on left and right CB panels on
the flight compartment sidewalls so as to be readily accessible
to the flight crew. The applicable amperage is marked on each
circuit breaker. Labels above each breaker identifies the circuit
protected. These push-to-reset type circuit breakers will pop
out, or “trip,” when heat is generated by an electrical overload.
Should an overload occur, a tripped circuit breaker may be
reset after a cooling period of approximately three minutes by
pushing it back in. If the circuit breaker trips a second time, a
short circuit is indicated and it should not be reset, as this could
cause system damage. Additional circuit breakers are installed
in various electrical power junction “J” boxes located within the
aft fuselage.
Current Limiters
Primary bus tie circuit protection is provided by a 225-amp
current limiter in-line between the battery bus and the left and
right main DC busses. Three 80-amp bus feeder current limiters
are wired in parallel between each main bus and its associated
circuit breaker panel bus.
Note: The flight crew should ensure that all circuit breakers are
engaged and serviceable fuses are installed before all flights.
The airplane should never be operated with any disengaged
circuit breakers or open current limiters without a thorough
knowledge of the consequences.

Inverters
During normal operation, each AC bus is supplied by its asso-
ciated inverter. Should failure of either inverter occur, the oppo-
site inverter supplies power to all AC busses through an auto-
matic switching circuit. When an inverter has failed, the red [AC
FAIL] annunciator and the corresponding [1] or [2] [INV FAIL]
annunciator will illuminate, and the red [MASTER WARNING]
light/switch will flash. Resetting the [MASTER WARNING] light/
switch will extinguish the [AC FAIL] annunciator but will not
reset the failed inverter.
AC Control
Positioning the AC switch to
the upper (on) position acti-
vates inverter 1 and 2, momen-
tarily illuminating the [AC
FAIL] annunciator until both
inverters are on-line and in
phase. A synchronization
circuit between the inverters is
used as the reference for
phase relationship.
Inverter Testing
Each inverter may be tested by positioning the AC switch to the
upper (on) position and holding the test switch to the “INV 1” or
“INV 2” position and observing illumination of the correspond-
ing [1] or [2] [INV FAIL] annunciator. When the test switch is
released the annunciator should extinguish.
Inverters
During normal operation, each AC bus is supplied by its asso-
ciated inverter. Each 26 VAC and 115 VAC bus are tied through
a bus tie circuit breaker. Should failure of either inverter occur,
the opposite inverter supplies power to all AC busses through
the bus tie circuit breakers. Failure of either inverter will cause
the corresponding [1] or [2] [INV FAIL] annunciator, and the red
[MASTER WARNING] light/switch to illuminate. Resetting the
[MASTER WARNING] light/switch will extinguish the light but
will not reset the failed inverter. Should a bus-tie circuit breaker
trip, either or both [INV FAIL] annunciator(s), and the red [MAS-
TER WARNING] light/switch will illuminate. The tripped circuit
breaker may be reset by pushing it back in and the annunciator
extinguished by pressing the [MASTER WARNING] light/switch
which may return either or both inverters to operation providing
the fault has cleared. If the bus tie circuit breaker(s) cannot be
reset, the bus isolated by the associated circuit breaker is no
longer energized and all systems powered by it become
inoperative.
AC Control
Positioning the AC switch to
the upper (on) position acti-
vates inverter 1 and 2, momen-
tarily illuminating the [AC
FAIL] annunciator until both
inverters are on-line and in
phase. A synchronization
circuit between the inverters is
used as the reference for
phase relationship.
Inverter Testing
Each inverter may be tested by positioning the AC switch to the
upper (on) position and holding the test switch to the “INV 1” or
“INV 2” position and observing illumination of the correspond-
ing [1] or [2] [INV FAIL] annunciator. When the test switch is
released the annunciator should extinguish.
Inverters
During normal operation, inverter 1 supplies all AC bus require-
ments. Should failure of inverter 1 occur, the voltage sensor
which monitors the 115 VAC power bus will cause illumination
of the [AC FAIL] annunciator. Positioning the inverter switch to
“INV 2” will provide a ground for the inverter on/off circuit and
energize the inverter switching relay, thereby supplying power
from inverter 2 to the AC power busses, and extinguish the [AC
FAIL] annunciator.
AC Control
Positioning the inverter switch
to “INV 1” provides the ground
path for the inverter on/off
circuit resulting in power
being supplied to the AC
power busses from inverter 1.
Inverter Testing
Each inverter may be tested by positioning the inverter switch to
the “INV 1” or “INV 2” position which should cause the [AC
FAIL] annunciator to extinguish. Setting the inverter switch to its
“OFF” position should cause the [AC FAIL] annunciator to
illuminate.
AC Circuit Protection
Note: The flight crew should ensure that all circuit breakers are
engaged and serviceable fuses are installed before all flights.
The airplane should never be operated with any disengaged
circuit breakers without a thorough knowledge of the conse-
quences.
Exterior Lighting
1. Navigation Lights
Navigation lights are installed
on each wing tip and on the
tailcone stinger. The lights are 1
controlled by the NAV switch
and supplied with 28 VDC
power from the right main bus
(550-0550 and after) or left
main bus (550-0505 and 2
earlier) through the NAV circuit
breaker on the left CB panel.
Rotating/Flashing Beacon
Rotating or flashing beacons, used to increase airplane visibil-
ity, may be installed on the top of the rudder. Any of three differ-
ent types of beacons may be installed on individual airplanes,
two of which use flashing lamps and one of which uses a rotat-
ing light assembly that employs a stationary lamp and electri-
cally-driven rotating reflector. The beacon is controlled by the
BEACON switch and supplied with 28 VDC left main bus power
through the ROTATING BEACON circuit breaker on the left CB
panel.
Tail Floodlights
Optional floodlights may be installed on the upper left and right
surfaces of the horizontal stabilizer to illuminate the vertical
stabilizer. These lights may also be referred to as identification
lights, logo lights, or tail lights. The floodlights are controlled by
the BEACON switch (550-0038 and after) or the NAV switch
(550-0037 and earlier), and supplied with 28 VDC left main bus
power through the TAIL LIGHTS circuit breaker located in the
“J” box.
Counter Light
The post-type counter light illuminates the mechanical counter
located above the FAN tachometer on the upper center instru-
ment panel. This light is controlled by the CENTER panel rheo-
stat and supplied with 28 VDC left main bus power through the
CENTER PANEL circuit breaker on the left CB panel
Map Lights
Map lights, providing direc-
tional flight compartment
illumination, are located on the
overhead console. Each light
is independently controlled by
an associated rheostat, lo-
cated on the forward end of
each side console, and sup-
plied with 28 VDC right main
bus power through the 5-amp
RH PANEL circuit breaker on
the left CB panel.
Entrance Lights
Entrance lights are provided to illuminate the passenger door
entrance, emergency exit door, and aft baggage compartment.
Each entrance light may be illuminated by an integral switch, or
by the PASS SAFETY switch. 28 VDC hot battery bus power is
supplied to these lights through the CABIN LIGHTS circuit
breaker located in the “J” box.
PSU Light
On airplanes 550-0550 and after, an optional fluorescent light is
available to provide passenger service unit (refreshment center
or vanity) area illumination. The light is controlled by the three-
position (OFF/BRIGHT/DIM) switch, located on the cabin
sidewall forward of the entrance door, and supplied with 28
VDC left main bus power through the INDIRECT LT circuit
breaker located in the “J” box.

interconnected and supply
ambient pressure to the copilot’s airspeed/mach indicator,
barometric altimeter, IVSI, the landing gear warning airspeed
switch (550-0627 and after), B&D TAS pressure transducer (if
installed), and airspeed/mach warning switch (CAA certificated
airplanes). Ambient pressure is also provided to the cabin
differential pressure indicator through the copilot’s static ports.
The interconnection and location of the static ports on opposite
sides of the fuselage minimizes system pressure errors caused
by uncoordinated flight.
The pitot tubes and static ports are protected against icing by
integral, electrically-powered heating elements. Refer to Chap-
ter 10 for a complete description of pitot-static ice protection.
Note: The pitot tubes and static ports must be clear and free of
obstructions for proper operation.
Airspeed Pointer
As airspeed increases or decreases, the differential between
static pressure and pitot pressure causes the airspeed dia-
phragm to expand or contract. As it does, its movement is
transmitted by the drive mechanism to position the pointer at
the corresponding KIAS value on the indicator dial.
Mach Sub-Dial
The inner (rotating) mach sub-dial is visible through a window
on the face of the instrument between 140 and 320 knots on the
outer (stationary) KIAS indicator dial. Unlike the airspeed
pointer which is positioned relative to speed, the mach sub-dial
is positioned relative to altitude. As altitude increases or de-
creases, the differential between static pressure and reference
pressure causes the mach diaphragm to expand or contract.
As it does, its movement is transmitted by the drive mechanism
to rotate the sub-dial such that the relationship between its
position and that of the pointer will correspond to the approxi-
mate mach number (M).
Index Marker
The index marker is controlled by a knob located on the lower
left corner of the instrument face and may be moved to any
position around the KIAS scale to reference a desired airspeed.
Barometric Altimeters
The barometric altimeters provide visual indication of airplane
altitude in relation to mean sea level (MSL) atmospheric pres-
sure. Each unit incorporates an indicating pointer, drum-type
counter, and barometric scale. The pointer dial is calibrated in
increments of 20 and 100 feet, while the counter displays alti-
tude in increments of 20, 100, 1000, and 10,000 feet. A black
and white crosshatched area appearing in the left most digit of
the counter signifies that indicated altitude is below 10,000 feet.
The barometric scale, calibrated in inches of mercury (inHg)
and millibars (mb), displays the current correction setting for
non-standard atmospheric conditions.
Copilot’s Altimeter
The copilot’s conventional
altimeter consists of an airtight
instrument case which houses
an aneroid diaphragm assem-
bly linked to a drive mecha-
nism that operates the pointer
and counter. The instrument
case is supplied with static
(ambient) air pressure through
the static ports, while the
diaphragm assembly is sealed
at standard sea level atmospheric pressure (29.92 inHg/1013.2
mb (reference pressure). As altitude increases or decreases,
the differential between static pressure and reference pressure
causes the diaphragm assembly to expand or contract. As it
does, its movement is mechanically transmitted by the drive
mechanism such that the corresponding altitude is displayed
by the pointer and counter.
Altitude Alerting
Altitude alerting components include the air data computer
(ADC), located in the nose avionics bay; vertical navigation
computer/controller (VNCC), located on the center instrument
panel; altitude alert light(s) and a warning horn. One altitude
alert light is located on the upper right instrument bezel of the
standard pilot’s altimeter. Others are located on the upper left
bezel of the optional pilot’s RAD/BAR altimeter and optional
copilot’s encoding altimeter when these instruments are in-
stalled. The altitude alert warning horn is located within the left
flight compartment sidewall.
Altitude Reporting
Altitude reporting components include the air data computer
(ADC), transponder(s), and the optional copilot’s encoding
altimeter when installed. These components function to gener-
ate a logic code corresponding to the airplane’s pressure alti-
tude which is transmitted to the Air Traffic Control Radar Bea-
con System (ATCRBS) through the transponder in response to
Mode C (altitude reporting) interrogations. Barometric pressure
setting of the altimeter(s) has no effect on this function since
encoder output is always referenced to standard sea level
atmospheric pressure (29.92 inHg/1013.2 mb).
Conventional Indicator
(excluding RAD/BAR)
The indicator may be located
on the pilot’s or copilot’s instru-
ment panel and incorporates
an altitude scale and pointer,
decision height (DH) index
marker and setting knob, DH
alert light, and a test switch.
The altitude scale is calibrated
in 10 foot increments below
500 feet, 100 foot increments
above 500 feet, and identifies the indicator’s usable range. The
pointer is visible at the corresponding AGL value within the
usable range only. Outside this range, or if the airplane is
steeply banked, the pointer will be positioned behind a mask in
the upper left corner of the indicator dial.
From the cross fitting, bleed air is routed to the windshield anti-
ice/rain removal system, cabin pressurization control system
ejector, and pneumatic distribution pressure regulator. From
this regulator, 23.0 +/- 1.0 PSIG bleed air is routed to the pneu-
matic surface deice system, cabin temperature manual control
system, inflatable cabin door seal, and the instrument air sys-
tem. The instrument air system consists of a water separator/
filter, instrument pressure regulators, the air-driven attitude
indicator, and gyro pressure gage.
Electrically-Driven Gyro
On airplanes 550-0627 and after, the gyro is electrically driven
by 28 VDC power through the 2-amp ADI 2 circuit breaker.
Power is supplied to the gyro from the emergency avionics bus
whenever the battery switch is in the “BATT” (on) position and
the DC avionics power switch is also in the “ON” position.
Power is also supplied to the gyro when the battery switch is in
the “EMER” (emergency) position, regardless of DC avionics
power switch position. A red GYRO failure warning flag will be
visible in the upper left instrument face when power is removed
from the instrument. A spring-loaded caging knob is located on
the lower right instrument bezel.
Gyro Slaving
Gyro slaving is provided by a remotely-mounted magnetic flux
detector and slaving accessory. The flux detector senses the di-
rection of the earth’s magnetic field and transmits these signals
to the slaving accessory where they are compared with gyro ref-
erence signals corresponding to the position of the compass card.
The resulting error signal is amplified and transmitted to compo-
nents which electromechanically produce a controlled preces-
sion of the gyro that corrects indicated heading to agree with the
magnetic heading.
Attitude Sphere
The attitude sphere is divided into sky (blue) and ground
(brown) hemispheres by a horizon line which provides visual
reference to the actual horizon.
Eyelid Display
The eyelid display surrounds the attitude sphere and provides
visual reference of the relative position of the sky (blue) and
ground (brown), independent of attitude sphere position, to
facilitate recovery from unusual flight attitudes.
Airplane Symbol
The airplane symbol is located in the center of the instrument
face and provides visual reference of the airplane’s attitude
relative to the horizon line. Depending on ADI installation, the
symbol may be conventional or reference delta type.
Glideslope Indication
Glideslope deviation is indicated by the relationship between
a moveable pointer and fixed vertical deviation scale commonly
located on the right side of the instrument face. When a valid
glideslope signal is being received, deviation above the beam
centerline is indicated by displacement of the pointer below
scale center. Deviation below the beam centerline is indicated
by displacement of the pointer above scale center. Each dot
above and below scale center represents approximately 0.4°
deviation from the beam centerline. A green area on the scale
denotes the category II (CAT II) approach window. Pointer dis-
placement in this area indicates glideslope deviation within
approximately 0.2° of the beam centerline.
Test Switch
The attitude (ATT) test switch, located on the lower left instru-
ment bezel, initiates an attitude self-test function. When
pressed, the attitude sphere should be positioned to indicate
approximately 20° right bank and 10° positive pitch, and the
ATT warning flag should appear across the instrument face.
Refer to the appropriate Operating Manual or Airplane Flight
Manual for test procedures specific to the system installed in
your airplane.
GA Light
The go-around light illuminates when the go-around mode has
been selected
DH Light
The decision height light illuminates when the airplane de-
scends below the selected decision height as set on the radio
altitude indicator.
Airplane Symbol
The airplane symbol, located in the center of the instrument
face, provides visual indication of the airplane’s position in re-
lation to the course deviation bar. Alignment of the airplane
symbol with the course deviation bar simulates alignment of
the airplane’s flight path to the centerline of the selected navi-
gation course or localizer.
Heading Bug
An orange heading bug is manually rotated about the com-
pass card by the heading (HDG) select knob on the lower right
corner of the instrument bezel. Once set, the heading bug ro-
tates with the compass card. The heading bug functions to
indicate desired heading and provides selected heading ref-
erence for autopilot steering.
To/From Indicator
A filled white triangle, pointing either toward the head (to) or
the tail (from) of the course pointer, functions to provide visual
indication that the selected course will take the airplane to or
from the selected navaid or waypoint. The to/from indicator is
not displayed during ILS operation or when an invalid navaid
or waypoint signal is received.
Glideslope Indication
Glideslope deviation is indicated by the relationship between
a moveable pointer and fixed vertical deviation scale commonly
located on the right side of the instrument face. The deviation
scale consists of two filled white circles evenly spaced above
and below a filled white diamond. The outer circles reference
full-scale deviation while the inner circles reference half-scale
deviation. Alignment of the green pointer with the center dia-
mond represents alignment of the airplane’s glide path with
the glideslope centerline.

Overview
HYDRAULICS AND LANDING GEAR 12/99 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY 8-1
Nose Gear
Under increasing load, hydraulic fluid flows from the outer cylin-
der to the upper chamber of the inner cylinder. As the strut
compresses, the metering pin progressively restricts the orifice.
When the rate of hydraulic fluid flow through the orifice is insuf-
ficient to absorb compression shocks, the isolation piston is
forced downward against gas/air pressure to assume the addi-
tional load. Under decreasing load, the isolation piston is
forced upward by gas/air pressure and hydraulic fluid flows
from the upper chamber of the inner cylinder to the outer cylin-
der until the pressure on each side of the orifice is equal.

Main Gear
Under increasing load, hydraulic fluid flows from the outer cylin-
der to the upper chamber of the inner cylinder. As the strut
compresses, the variable orifice is progressively restricted.
When the rate of hydraulic fluid flow through the orifice is insuf-
ficient to absorb compression shocks, the isolation piston is
forced downward against gas/air pressure to assume the addi-
tional load. Under decreasing load, the isolation piston is
forced upward by gas/air pressure and hydraulic fluid flows
from the upper chamber of the inner cylinder to the outer cylin-
der until the pressure on each side of the orifice is equal.
The main gear assemblies retract inward into the wing wheel
wells and, when fully retracted, each is partially enclosed by a
hinged door which opens during extension and closes during
retraction. Push-pull rods mechanically link the doors to their re-
spective trunnions such that they operate simultaneously.
HYDRAULICS AND LANDING GEAR 12/99 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY 8-7
Hydraulic Actuators
Each hydraulic actuator is comprised of a cylinder body with an
internal piston and rod assembly. The cylinder body of each
actuator is attached to the airframe structure. Each rod end is
attached to its associated gear trunnion assembly. Retract and
extend ports on each cylinder are plumbed to the landing gear
hydraulic system. Separate pneumatic extend ports are
plumbed to the pneumatic blowdown system.

The nose gear actuator piston “pulls” the nose gear to the
extended position and “pushes” it to the retracted position. The
main gear actuator piston “pushes” the main gear to the ex-
tended position and “pulls” it to the retracted position. The nose
gear actuator incorporates a shuttle valve that is normally
spring-loaded open to the hydraulic extend port. During auxil-
iary/emergency gear extension, the shuttle valve is repositioned
open to the pneumatic extend port by gas/air pressure. Each
main gear actuator incorporates a separate, concentric, pneu-
matic extension chamber that is always open to the pneumatic
extend port. All three gear actuators incorporate integral “ring
and groove” type downlock latches which hold the gear assem-
blies in the fully-extended position when hydraulic pressure is
removed. Approximately 300 PSI is required to release these
latches.
Uplock Sequence
Actuators 4
Independent uplock 1
sequence actuators are
provided for each gear
assembly to hydrauli-
cally release the uplock
hooks during normal
gear extension. Each
consists of an actuator 3
body, a spring-loaded
internal piston and rod 2
assembly, and a check
valve. The actuator
body is attached to the 1. Actuator Body
airframe structure. The 2. Uplock Hook
uplock hook is linked to
3. Release Cable
the rod end. Three

ports are located on
each actuator body: the first (pressure inlet) is plumbed to the
extend circuit of the landing gear hydraulic system, the second
(pressure outlet) is plumbed to the extend port of its associated
gear assembly’s hydraulic actuator, the third is plumbed to the
retract port of its associated gear assembly’s hydraulic actua-
tor. The check valve is positioned between the pressure inlet
port and pressure outlet port such that hydraulic fluid flow to
the extend port of the hydraulic actuator is restricted until the
uplock hook is released. During normal gear extension, hydrau-
lic pressure applied to the internal piston “pulls” the rod inward
thereby releasing the uplock hook. Following uplock hook
release, continued inward movement of rod unseats the check
valve allowing hydraulic fluid flow to the extend port of the
hydraulic actuator. During gear retraction, return hydraulic fluid
flow from the extend port of the hydraulic actuator unseats the
check valve. During emergency gear extension, the uplock
hooks are mechanically-released.

Hydraulic Filters
A hydraulic filter is installed in each pump pressure line and in
the hydraulic reservoir return line to prevent foreign material
from contaminating the hydraulic fluid. The pump pressure line
filters have a 3 GPM nominal flow capacity, and incorporate a
100 PSI differential bypass valve that permits continued flow in
the event of filter blockage. The reservoir return line filter has a
12 GPM nominal flow capacity and incorporates a 100 PSI
differential bypass valve. These filters have a 5-micron nominal
rating and a 15-micron absolute rating.

Brakes
The power brake system receives 28 VDC left main bus power
through a 20-amp SKID CONTROL circuit breaker on the left CB
panel.
Touchdown Protection
On airplanes 550-0437 and after, the touchdown protection
system prevents landing with pressure applied to the brakes.
The touchdown protection system energizes the power brake
anti-skid control valve open at airplane touchdown through the
left main gear safety switch. The valve therefore remains closed
until the airplane is on the ground, preventing hydraulic fluid
from entering the brake actuators and thereby assuring that the
brakes are not applied at airplane touchdown.

Anti-Skid System
The anti-skid system is integral to the power brake system and
provides maximum braking capability on wet or icy runways.
The system consists of two wheel speed transducers, an elec-
tronic control box, an anti-skid servo valve, pressure switches,
mode switch, circuit breakers, and indicator lights.
HYDRAULICS AND LANDING GEAR 12/99 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY 8-39
Locked Wheel Crossover Protection
On airplanes 550-0437 and after, locked wheel crossover
protection prevents loss of airplane control caused by unequal
wheel rotation rates. When the anti-skid system detects that one
main gear wheel is rotating 50% slower than the other, brake
pressure to the slow wheel is dumped, allowing wheel speeds
to equalize. Locked wheel crossover protection is functional at
ground speeds greater than 40 knots.
Auxiliary/emergency braking
is initiated by pulling the
EMER BRAKE-PULL valve
handle located below the
pilot’s instrument panel. This
action releases gas/air to the
brakes from the same air
storage bottle that is used for
auxiliary/emergency landing
gear deployment. Pneumatic
pressure within the auxiliary/
emergency brake valve re-
▲ EMERGENCY BRAKE VALVE HANDLE
turns the auxiliary/emergency
brake handle forward upon release, terminating pneumatic flow
to the brakes and releasing the brakes by venting air within the
brake assemblies overboard. Pulling the auxiliary/emergency
brake handle progressively increases brake pressure. For most
efficient use of pneumatic braking, the auxiliary/emergency
brake handle should be pulled aft until sufficient deceleration is
achieved, then should be held in position until the airplane has
stopped.
Note: The parking brake should not be set if the flight crew
suspects that the brakes may be unusually hot. Setting the
brake increases cool down time by impeding airflow, and
therefore may allow sufficient heat transfer to open the parking
brake thermal relief valves and/or melt the thermal relief plugs
in the wheel, causing tire deflation.

Overview
Source Selection
All four valves are controlled
primarily by the PRESS
SOURCE selector switch on
the environmental “tilt” panel.
The valves are also controlled
by various switches that sense
bleed air pressure and tem-
perature. The effects of rotat-
ing the selector switch to each
of its six positions are de-
scribed in the following para-
graphs.
NORM Position
During normal operation with both engines operating and
the PRESS SOURCE selector switch set to “NORMAL,” both
environmental flow control/shutoff valves will be open,
permitting bleed air flow through the ACM and into the
cabin at a rate of approximately 12 PPM.
LH and RH Positions
When set to “LH” or “RH,” bleed air is correspondingly
supplied by the left engine or right engine only at a rate of
approximately 6 PPM. In this condition, the environmental
flow control/shutoff valve for the non-selected source is
energized closed by 28 VDC left main bus power through
the 5-amp NORM PRESS circuit breaker on the left CB
panel.
OFF Position
When set to “OFF,” both environmental flow control/shutoff
valves are energized closed through the NORM PRESS
circuit breaker.
GND Position
To enhance cabin ventilation during ground operation,
primarily when the right engine is operating only, the PRESS
SOURCE selector switch should be set to “GND.” In this
position, both environmental flow control/shutoff valves are
energized closed, the ground shutoff valve is energized
open, and the amber [BLD AIR GND] annunciator is illumi-
nated through the NORM PRESS circuit breaker. With the
ground shutoff valve open, right engine bleed air flows
through the ACM and into the cabin at a rate of approxi-
mately 18 PPM. Selection of this source is inhibited by the
left main gear safety switch when the airplane is in flight.
Bleed air is cooled, mixed with uncooled bleed air, and dehu-
midified to provide conditioned air with the desired temperature
to the air distribution subsystem. Major components of the
system include an air cycle machine (ACM) containing a
precooler, primary and secondary heat exchangers and a
cooling turbine, a water separator, a bypass modulating valve,
a water ejector nozzle, a fan, and necessary ducting.
© PCW
From the mixing tube, the conditioned air passes through the
water separator, which collects moisture from the passing air
and forms large droplets that are removed by centrifugal force.
This removed moisture is drawn away by the water ejector
nozzle previously described. An integral spring-loaded relief
valve allows air to bypass the unit should the water separator
become obstructed by ice or foreign material.

lishes a reference voltage corresponding to the selected tem-

control computer, where it is compared with signals from the
duct temperature sensor (ACM conditioned air temperature)
and the cabin temperature sensor (actual cabin temperature).
The temperature control computer then generates a signal to
drive the bypass modulating valve open or closed to maintain
the desired cabin temperature. The bypass modulating valve
receives power from the left main bus through the 5-amp TEMP
circuit breaker.

by various switches that sense
bleed air pressure and tem-
perature. The effects of rotat-
ing the selector switch to each
of its seven positions are
described below:
NORMAL Position
During normal operation with both engines operating and
the PRESS SOURCE selector switch set to “NORMAL,” both
environmental flow control/shutoff valves will be open,
permitting bleed air flow through the ACM and into the
cabin at a rate of approximately 12 PPM.
LH and RH Positions
When set to “LH” or “RH,” bleed air is correspondingly
supplied by the left engine or right engine only at a rate of
approximately 6 PPM. In this condition, the environmental
flow control/shutoff valve for the non-selected source is
energized closed by 28 VDC left main bus power through
the 5-amp NORM PRESS circuit breaker on the left CB
panel
BOTH HI Position
When set to “BOTH HI”, both environmental flow control/
shutoff valves remain open and both secondary solenoids
are energized open. In this condition, approximately 18
PPM of bleed air from both engines flows through the ACM
into the cabin and the amber [BLEED AIR GND/HI] annun-
ciator is illuminated through the NORM PRESS circuit
breaker.
OFF Position
When set to “OFF,” both environmental flow control/shutoff
valves are energized closed through the NORM PRESS
circuit breaker.
EMER Position
Should bleed air flow through the ACM be insufficient to
maintain selected cabin altitude, the PRESS SOURCE selec-
tor switch should be set to “EMER.” In this position, the
amber [EMER PRESS ON] annunciator is illuminated, both
environmental flow control/shutoff valves are energized
closed, and the emergency pressurization valve is ener-
gized open. 28 VDC right main bus power is supplied to the
valves and the annunciator through the 5-amp EMER
PRESS circuit breaker on the left CB panel. Selection of this
source is inhibited by the left main gear safety switch when
the airplane is on the ground.
Bleed air is cooled, mixed with uncooled bleed air, and dehu-
midified to provide conditioned air with the desired temperature
to the air distribution subsystem. Major components of the
system include an air cycle machine (ACM) containing primary
and secondary heat exchangers and a cooling turbine, a water
separator, a bypass modulating valve, a water ejector nozzle, a
bleed air ejector solenoid valve, a bleed air ejector, and neces-
sary ducting.
© PCW
The ejector nozzle directs bleed air toward the ambient air
exhaust outlet. Bleed air flow exiting through the exhaust outlet
creates a suction that draws ambient air through the heat
exchangers. Bleed air and conditioned air are then exhausted
overboard through an exhaust outlet below the right engine
pylon.
The shutoff valve is enabled by the left main gear safety switch
when the airplane is on the ground, and is disabled by the
safety switch in flight. To maximize engine power during take-
off, throttle position switches, brake switches, and a differential
pressure switch act together to close the ejector nozzle shutoff
valve and thereby disable the ACM bleed air ejector nozzle
during takeoff roll. The amber [ACM EJECTOR ON] annunciator
illuminates when the ejector nozzle shutoff valve is open.
Temperature control
is primarily achieved 1 2
by varying the
amount of hot bleed
air that the bypass
modulating valve
mixes with cold air
from the air cycle 3
machine. Cabin
temperature may be 1. Manual Temperature Control Knob
set manually or 2. Automatic Temperature Control Knob
controlled automati- 3. Selector Switch
cally. In either mode, pneumatic pressure is used to open the
normally closed bypass modulating valve and allow hot bleed
air to mix with cold air from the ACM. Major components of the
temperature control system are a selector switch, the bypass
modulating valve, a solenoid shutoff valve, an automatic tem-
perature control pressure regulator, automatic temperature
control knob and manual temperature control knob, cabin
temperature, supply temperature, and low limit sensors, and an
air duct temperature switch.
Automatic Mode
Automatic temperature control mode selection is accomplished
by positioning the selector switch on the environmental panel to
“AUTOMATIC.” When automatic mode is selected, the solenoid
shutoff valve energizes, supplying 15 PSI from the automatic
control pressure regulator, located on the right side of the aft
fuselage, to the automatic cabin temperature selector, the low
limit sensor, and the cabin temperature sensor. These sensors,
the supply duct temperature sensor, and the temperature
selector interact to develop a control pressure that causes the
bypass modulating valve to open when sensed cabin tempera-
ture is too low or too close when sensed cabin temperature is
too high. When duct temperature is less than approximately
35°F, the low limit sensor causes the bypass valve to open,
raising duct temperature regardless of cabin temperature or
selected temperature.
Manual Mode
When the cabin temperature selector switch is positioned to
“MANUAL,” the temperature solenoid shutoff valve is
deenergized, routing 23 PSI manual control pneumatic pres-
sure to the bypass modulating valve and manual temperature
selector. The manual temperature control knob operates an
internal spring-loaded poppet, which determines the amount of
control pressure that is allowed to bypass the poppet and vent
overboard through the forward pressure bulkhead. This action
varies the control pressure applied to the bypass modulating
valve, thereby increasing or decreasing cabin temperature as
with the automatic system. Therefore, in manual control mode,
compensations for changes in cabin temperature must be
achieved by rotating the manual temperature control knob. The
manual mode is available as a backup should the automatic
system fail.
Distribution Control
Pressurization and ambient air are introduced into the cabin
through flapper-type check valves that function to prevent loss
of cabin pressurization through the fresh air duct or during
operation of the emergency pressurization system. After pass-
ing through the check valves, air enters a ventilation junction
box, located below the aft passenger cabin floor at the aft
pressure bulkhead.
Blowers
Two impeller-type blowers are
used to enhance cabin air
circulation. Both blowers 1 2
receive 28 VDC power from
the left main bus through the
20-amp CABIN FAN circuit
breaker.
Air from the upper branch of the flow divider is routed to a main
and auxiliary plenum. The main plenum supplies air to the
footwarmer and armrest manifolds on the left side of the pas-
senger cabin. The auxiliary plenum supplies the corresponding
right side components. Passenger footwarmer manifolds are
located along the outboard cabin walls at floor level. The
footwarmer manifolds are assembled in segments, each seg-
ment including several outlet holes. The armrest manifolds are
located along the outboard cabin walls at passenger seat
armrest level. Air outlet holes are located beneath the armrest
cover assemblies. The armrest and footwarmer manifolds are
connected together by ducting at several points.
Air from the lower branch of the flow divider is drawn through
the defog fan and routed through underfloor ducting to the
forward part of the pressurized cabin. In the flight compart-
ment, conditioned air is routed to cockpit footwarmer manifolds,
located on both sides of the cockpit, to the windshield and side
window defog vents, and to optional supplementary ducts. In
all airplanes, the underfloor ducting supplies air to the
footwarmer and armrest warmer associated with the passenger
seat immediately forward of the main entrance door. On air-
planes 550-0482 and 550-0485 and after, the underfloor duct-
ing also supplies air to warm the cabin door seal. On these
airplanes and in airplanes 550-0010 through 550-0049 not
incorporating SB550-21-1, the underfloor ducting is also con-
nected to the left footwarmer/armrest manifold by a duct lo-
cated aft of the main entrance door and to the right footwarmer/
armrest manifold by another duct located immediately aft of the
flight compartment divider.
Pneumatic Relay
The pneumatic relay is the primary control device for the out-
flow valves. The pneumatic relay amplifies reference pressure
from the cabin pressurization controller by mixing it with suction
air flow generated by an ejector-type pump installed in the left
engine environmental supply tube. The pneumatic relay con-
tains four chambers separated by two spring-loaded dia-
phragms. The upper diaphragm is exposed on the upper side
to rate pressure and on the lower side to reference pressure.
The lower diaphragm is exposed on the upper side to refer-
ence pressure and on the lower side to cabin pressure. Both
diaphragms are connected to a metering valve that controls
suction air flow to create the amplified reference pressure
which is then used to modulate (control) the outflow valves.
2 3
For the purposes of this chapter, ambient air is used for cabin
and flight compartment ventilation during ground operation, to
provide a positive pressure differential in the aft fuselage while
in flight, and to act as the heat exchange medium for air-to-air
heat exchangers. Other uses are discussed elsewhere in this
manual.
On airplanes 550-0482, 0485 and after, ambient air from the aft
fuselage is drawn by an ACM-driven fan that directs it through
ducting, where the air absorbs heat from both ACM heat ex-
changers and the precooler before it is dumped overboard
through an outlet located on the lower side of the aft fuselage
below the engine pylon. On airplanes 550-0484, 0483, 0481
and earlier, ambient air to cool the ACM heat exchangers is
routed through ducting from the dorsal scoop to the ACM.
Compressor
The compressor functions to provide the pressure and suction
that circulates Freon through the condenser, the receiver-dryer,
and the evaporator modules during air conditioning system
operation. The compressor is belt-driven by means of a pulley
attached to an electric motor. The same motor also drives an
axial fan that provides airflow through the condenser. This
airflow provides a cooling effect that condenses the hot gas-
eous Freon from the compressor into a liquid.
Condenser
The condenser is mounted in proximity to the compressor and
functions to transform the high-pressure, high-temperature
Freon gas into a high-pressure, low-temperature liquid. Con-
densation occurs as heat energy in the Freon gas passing
through the condenser coils is transferred to cooling fins which
are exposed to lower temperature airflow provided by a com-
pressor-driven axial fan. The cooled, high-pressure, liquid
Freon is then routed to the receiver-dryer.
Receiver-Dryer
The receiver-dryer, installed in the high-pressure tube between
the condensers and the evaporator modules, functions to
remove moisture from the liquid Freon when the air conditioning
system is operating. Moisture removal is critical not only in the
prevention of corrosion damage, but in the prevention of refrig-
erant circulation blockage caused by thermal expansion valve
freeze-up. Normal operation of the air conditioning system for
several minutes followed by the loss of cooling airflow may
indicate that freeze-up has occurred.
Evaporator Modules
One evaporator module is installed within the cockpit, and is
accessed by removing floor panels located behind the pilot’s
seat. Two additional evaporator modules are installed within the
aft baggage compartment in proximity to the aft pressure
bulkhead. Each module contains a thermal expansion valve,
evaporator coil, drain tube, and evaporator blower. The evapo-
rator modules transform high-pressure liquid Freon into a low-
pressure, low-temperature gas, completing the vapor cycle that
reduces the temperature of the cabin air.
Oxygen Outlets
Oxygen outlets for the pilot and copilot are located on the
pilot’s and copilot’s side consoles in the flight compartment. Up
to eight oxygen outlets may be installed in the overhead pas-
senger cabin. Due to differences in seating configurations, the
location of the passenger cabin outlets will vary between air-
planes. Each outlet incorporates a spring-loaded valve that
prevents oxygen flow from the outlet unless a hose assembly is
connected.

amp LH PITOT STATIC circuit breaker, and supplied to the
copilot’s pitot tube and static ports from the right main bus
through the 7.5-amp RH PITOT STATIC circuit breaker.

Bleed air used by the system is tapped from the supply tubes
between the compressor section of each engine and the envi-
ronmental flow control/shutoff valves within the aft fuselage. On
airplanes 550-0484, 0483, 0481 and earlier, the bleed air is
routed through a precooler within each engine nacelle prior to
entering the aft fuselage. On airplanes 550-0482, 0485 and
after, availability of bleed air to the system is continuous when
either or both engines are operating and is not influenced by
the position of the PRESS SOURCE selector. On airplanes 550-
0484, 0483, 0481 and earlier, however, setting the PRESS
SOURCE selector to “LH” or “RH” correspondingly results in
bleed air being made available to the system from the left
engine or right engine only.
The bleed air tapped from each source is routed through inde-
pendent supply tubes to a common cross fitting within the aft
fuselage. A check valve in each of these tubes prevents the
backflow of bleed air to either engine when the opposite engine
has failed or is operating at a sufficiently lower RPM. From the
cross fitting, bleed air is routed through the bleed air control
valve to the heat exchanger, each also located within the aft
fuselage.

The alcohol reservoir is located behind the aft divider within the
right nose baggage compartment. A sight gage on the upper
reservoir permits fluid level inspection. The sight gage is visible
through an inspection window positioned on an access panel.
The access panel is hinged to facilitate servicing and is acces-
sible through the right baggage door. If fluid is not visible in the
sight gage, the reservoir should be replenished. Reservoir
capacity is 0.5 U.S. gallons TT-I-735 isopropyl alcohol only.

3. Horizontal
Stabilizer Boot
Air pressure for boot inflation and suction for boot deflation is
provided by engine bleed air supplied from the same cross
fitting that supplies the windshield anti-ice system. From this
cross fitting, bleed air is routed through the pneumatic pressure
regulator which functions to reduce bleed air pressure to ap-
proximately 23 PSIG. From the regulator, bleed air is routed
through a cross fitting where its flow is divided into three paths
which independently supply the stabilizer, left wing, and right
wing control valves, also located within the aft fuselage. Bleed
air is continuously supplied to the control valves whenever
either or both engines are operating. Refer to the Bleed Air
Windshield Anti-Ice section of this chapter for a description of
the bleed air source.
System Operation
The system is activated by the
three-position SURFACE DE-
ICE switch on the lower left
instrument panel. When this
switch is momentarily actuated
to the upper (on) position, 28
VDC power is supplied from
the right main bus (550-0550
and after) or left main bus
(550-0505 and earlier) to the
timer module through the 5-

Inboard Wing
Leading Edge Anti-Ice
The inboard wing leading
edge anti-ice system operates
in conjunction with the engine
bleed air anti-ice system and
uses electrically-heated pan-
els to prevent the formation of
ice on the upper wing surface
forward of the engines. Each
removable panel features a
highly-polished exterior that
▲ INBOARD WING ANTI-ICE PANEL
forms a 61” section of its
associated inboard wing leading edge. Five independent,
spanwise heating elements, a high temperature switch, low
temperature switch, and a temperature sensor are bonded to
the interior of each panel. A Kevlar insulation shield provides a
thermal barrier between the heated panel and the wing
structure.

and Terminology .................................A3-1
Performance and
Flight Planning Terminology .................. A3-5
Payload
The total weight of the crew, passengers, baggage,
cabinet contents, and cargo.
Maximum Payload
The maximum permissible weight of the crew, passen-
gers, baggage, cabinet contents, and cargo as deter-
mined by structural limitations.
Usable Fuel
The weight of that portion of the total fuel load which is
available for consumption as determined in accordance
with applicable regulatory standards.
Unusable Fuel
The weight of that portion of the total fuel load which is
not available for consumption as determined in accor-
dance with applicable regulatory standards, including
the weight of residual fuel.
Residual Fuel
The weight of all undrainable fuel remaining onboard
after the airplane has been defueled for weighing pur-
poses in accordance with specified procedures.
Ramp Weight
The basic empty weight of an airplane plus payload and
usable fuel prior to engine start. Ramp weight must not
exceed the maximum ramp weight.
Takeoff Weight
The weight of an airplane upon lift-off from the runway.
Takeoff weight must not exceed the maximum takeoff
weight.
Landing Weight
The weight of an airplane upon runway touchdown.
Landing weight must not exceed the maximum landing
weight.
Maximum Weight
The maximum permissible weight of an airplane as
determined by associated design, structural, and perfor-
mance limitations.
CG Limits
The extreme fore and aft limits of CG range within which
an airplane must be operated at a specific weight.
Reference Datum
An imaginary vertical plane perpendicular to an arbitrary
point along the airplane’s longitudinal axis from which all
horizontal distances are measured to determine proper
weight and balance for flight.
Moment
A measurement of the rotational force about the
airplane’s CG, obtained by multiplying the weight of an
object or component by its respective arm (weight x arm
= moment).
CG Arm
The horizontal distance in inches from the reference
datum to the airplane’s center of gravity, obtained by
dividing the total sum of all moments by the total sum of
their respective weights (total moment ÷ total weight =
CG Arm).
Station
The horizontal distance in inches from the reference
datum to any position along the airplane’s longitudinal
axis.
Jack Points
Specific points on the airplane identified by the manu-
facturer as suitable for supporting the airplane on jacks.
Leveling Points
Specific points on the airplane identified by the manu-
facturer as suitable for leveling the airplane.
Accelerate-Go Distance
The distance required to accelerate an airplane to take-
off decision speed (V1) and upon experiencing an en-
gine failure, continue accelerating to takeoff rotation
speed (VR), then rotate, climb, and accelerate to engine
failure speed (VEF) before reaching 50 feet AGL for the
purposes of obstacle clearance.
Accelerate-Stop Distance
The distance required to accelerate an airplane to take-
off decision speed (V1) and upon experiencing an en-
gine failure, bring the aircraft to a complete stop on the
remaining runway using maximum effective braking.
Clearway
An area beyond the end of a runway not less than 300
feet on either side of the extended center line of the
runway, at an elevation no greater than the end of the
runway, clear of all fixed obstacles, and under the con-
trol of the airport authorities.
Balked Landing
An aborted landing.
Maneuvering Fuel
The usable fuel available for all airplane configurations,
provided the maximum sideslip duration is not ex-
ceeded.
Aerobatic Maneuver
An intentional maneuver involving an abrupt changing of
the airplane attitude, abnormal attitude, or abnormal
acceleration, beyond the requirements for normal flight.
Route Segment
A specific portion of a route identified by geographic or
radio navigational fixes.
Airspeed Terminology
Meteorological Terminology
Pressure Altitude
A measurement of altitude above the Standard Datum
Plane, a theoretical level where atmospheric pressure is
equal to standard sea level pressure. Equivalent to
indicated altitude when the altimeter is set to 29.92 inHg/
1013.2 mb.
Density Altitude
A measurement of pressure altitude used to determine
airplane performance in nonstandard atmospheric con-
ditions. Equivalent to true altitude under standard atmo-
spheric conditions.
Indicated Altitude
An indicated measurement of altitude above the atmo-
spheric pressure to which the altimeter is set. Equivalent
to true altitude when the altimeter is correctly set to the
local reported pressure.
True Altitude
An indicated measurement of altitude above Mean Sea
Level (MSL), a level where atmospheric pressure is
equal to sea level pressure as computed from station
pressure corrected for nonstandard conditions, assum-
ing the indicating altimeter is correctly set and zero
instrument error. Equivalent to pressure altitude and
density altitude under standard atmospheric conditions.
Station Pressure
A measurement of actual atmospheric pressure (baro-
metric pressure) at field elevation.
Powerplant Terminology
Igniter
A device used to start the burning of the fuel/air mix-
ture in a combustion chamber.
Impeller
The main rotor of a radial compressor, which increases
the velocity of the air which it pumps.
Plenum
A duct, housing or enclosure used to contain air under
pressure.
Stator
A row of stationary airfoils that direct the airflow be-
tween the rows of rotor blades.
Turbine
A rotating device actuated either by reaction or impulse
(or a combination of both), and used to transform some
of the kinetic energy of the exhaust gases into shaft
horsepower to drive the compressor(s) and accesso-
ries.
Turbofan
A type of gas turbine that converts heat energy into
core and bypass thrust.
