B-3
Reverse
Thrust
The region of the POWER lever
control that is aft of the Beta and
GROUND FINE range and controls
engine power through GROUND
FINE and REVERSE range.
RPM
Revolutions Per Minute
SHP
Shaft horsepower. The horsepower
imparted to the propeller shaft.
Static Power The power which must be available
for takeoff without exceeding engine
limitations.
Takeoff
Power
The maximum power permissible
for a takeoff.
B-4. CONTROL
AND
INSTRUMENT
TERMINOLOGY
CONDITION
Lever
(Fuel
Shut-off
Lever)
The fuel shut-off lever actuates a
valve in the fuel control unit that
controls the flow of fuel at the fuel
control outlet and regulates the
IDLE range from LOW to HIGH.
N1
Tachometer
(Gas
Generator
RPM)
The tachometer registers the RPM
of the gas generator with 100%
representing a gas generator speed
of 37,500 RPM.
POWER
Lever
(Gas
Generator
N1 RPM)
The
POWER
lever
serves
to
modulate engine power from full
reverse thrust to takeoff. The
position for IDLE represents the
lowest recommended level of power
for flight operation.
Propeller
Control
Lever (N2
RPM)
The propeller control lever is used to
control the RPM setting of the
propeller governor. Movement of
the lever results in an increase of
decrease
in
propeller
RPM.
Propeller feathering is the result of
lever movement beyond the detents
at the low RPM (high pitch) end of
the lever travel.
Propeller
Governor
The
propeller
governor
senses
changes in RPM and hydraulically
changes propeller blade angle to
compensate for the changes in
RPM. Constant propeller RPM is
thereby maintained at the selected
RPM setting.
Torque-
meter
The torquemeter system determines
the shaft output torque. Torque
values are obtained by tapping into
two outlets on the reduction gear
case and recording the differential
pressure from the outlets.
Interstage
Turbine
Temperature
(ITT)
The
temperature
of
the
gases
present between the compressor
turbine and power turbine.
B-5. GRAPH AND TABULAR TERMINOLOGY
AGL
Above ground level
Best Angle-
of-Climb
The best angle-of-climb speed is the
airspeed that delivers the greatest
gain of altitude in the shortest
possible horizontal distance with
gear and Flaps up.
Best Rate-
of-Climb
The best rate-of-climb speed is the
airspeed that delivers the greatest
gain of altitude in the shortest
possible time with gear and flaps up.
Clean
Configu-
ration
Gear and FLAPS UP.
Demon-
strated
Crosswind
The
maximum
90
crosswind
component
for
which
adequate
control of the aircraft during takeoff
and
landing
was
actually
demonstrated
during
certification
tests.
Gradient
The ratio of the change in height to
the
horizontal
distance,
usually
expressed in percent.
Landing
Weight
The weight of the aircraft at landing
touchdown.
Maximum
Zero Fuel
Weight
Any weight above the value given
must be loaded as fuel.
MEA
Minimum Enroute Altitude
Ramp
Weight
The gross weight of the aircraft
before engine start. Included is the
takeoff weight plus a fuel allowance
for start, taxi, run-up and take-off
ground roll to lift-off.
Route
Segment
A part of a route. Each end of that
part is identified by a geographic
location or a point at which a definite
radio fix can be established.
