Fuel Flow in the Engine
Mechanical Mixing (MMU functions)
Collective to Pitch - Compensates for rotor downwash
_Collective to Roll _- Compensates for Translating Tendency
Collective to Yaw - Torques Effect
Yaw to Pitch - Lift component of Tail Rotor
Electronic Coupling (explain to collective to airspeed to yaw)
Collective to Airspeed to Yaw - Compensates for torque effect in addition to Collective to Yaw mixing based on collective position and airspeed. FCC#2 commands yaw trim actuator 100% below 40 knots decreases until 100 knots, none above 100 knots.
AFCS five subsystems
FPS purpose
Basic autopilot – Enhances static stability through long term rate dampening in pitch, roll, and yaw. When coupled with Trim, FPS has 100% control authority (10% per second).
FPS Below 50 knots and above 50 knots
_Below 50 Kts _ _Above 50 Kts _
Att. Hold ** Pitch ** Att. Hold
Att. Hold ** Roll ** Att. Hold
Hdg Hold **Yaw ** Head Hold/Turn coord
These systems must be on and operational for FPS to function at 100%
Trim purpose
Provides a gradient and detent holding force for pitch, roll, collective, and yaw.
**Trim consist of **
Trim slip clutches require ___ lbs of force during an actuator jam.
Yaw ___
Roll ___
Coll ___
80 lbs max in yaw,
13 lbs max roll,
22 lbs max collective
FCC monitors continuously, will turn off driving trim actuator.
AVCS purpose
Reduces cockpit and cabin vibrations by mechanically generating additional vibrations that are out-of-phase with the main rotor (90-105 NR).
Uses 3 Force Generators
SAS 1&2 purpose
Provides short term rate dampening in pitch, roll, and yaw axis.
SAS 1&2 enhances (1)_________ & (2)___________
(3)___________ Control authority ((4)_____________).
Controled by (5) ______________
SAS Input:
Malfunction indicated by erratic movement, Reset CPTR1/ 2, or turn off that SAS
Stabilator purpose
Variable angle of incidence airfoil that enhances the handling qualities in the pitch axis in forward flight.
Stabilator functions
ODV functions
HMU purpose
Basic fuel control; high press. fuel pump & variable geometry servo-actuator.
HMU functions acronym
PM CAN VDTO
HMU functions “PM”
Pumps fuel at high pressure
Meters fuel to ODV in response to PAS, LDS, torque motor from DEC, & engine variables.
HMU functions “CAN”
Collective Pitch Compensation through the LDS. When the collective is moved, NG is reset for immediate NP response.
Accel/Decel fuel flow limiting preventing compressor stalls, engine damage, or flame out.
NG limiting - limits max torque available under low temperature conditions.
HMU functions “VDTO”
Variable Geometry Positioning of the inlet guide vanes for optimum performance.
DEC lockout PAS Overide & Control with DEC inoperative. Allows pilot to mechanically bypass torque motor inputs.
Torque Motor to Trim NG Output. to fine tune engine output. Can be over ridden in DEC lockout.
Opens Vapor Vent for manual HMU priming, to remove air from HMU.
DEC purpose
Controls electrical functions of engines and transmits operation info to the cockpit.
