In order that you will gain the maximum benefits from this handbook it is imperative that
you READ THESE FIRST FEW PAGES CAREFULLY
SCOPE
‘This manual contains all the information necessary
for safe and efficient operation of the T-37B. These
instructions do not teach basic flight principles, but
are designed to provide you with a general knowledge
of the aircraft, its flight characteristics, and specific
normal and emergency operating procedures. Your
flying experience is recognized, and elementary in-
structions have been avoided
SOUND JUDGMENT
‘The instructions in this manual are designed to pro-
vide for the needs of a crew inexperienced in the opera~
tion of this aircraft, This book provides the best pos-
sible operating instructions under most circumstances,
but it is a poor substitute for sound judgment, Mul”
tiple emergencies, adverse weather, terrain, etc.,
may require modification of the procedures contained
herein,
PERMISSIBLE OPERATIONS
‘The Flight Manual takes a "positive approach” and
normally tells you only what you can do, Any unusu
al operation oF configuration (such as asymetrical
loading) is prohibited unless specifically covered in,
the Flight Manual. Clearance must be obtained from
ARDC before any questionable operation is attempt-
ed which is not specifically covered in the Flight Man-
ual,
STANDARDIZATION
(Once you have learned to use one Flight Manual, you
‘will know how to use them all - closely guarded stand-
ardization assures that the scope and arrangement of
all Flight Manuals are identical.
ARRANGEMENT
‘The manual has been divided into 10 fairly independ
ent sections each with its own table of contents. The
objective of this subdivision is to make it easy both
to read the book straight through when it is first re-
ceived and thereafter to use it as a reference manual,
‘The independence of these sections also makes it pos:
sible for the user to rearrange the book to satisfy his
personal taste and requirements, The first three sec-
tions cover the minimum information required to safely
get the aireraft into the air and back down again. Be-
fore flying any new aircraft these three sections must
be read thoroughly and fully understood, Section 1V
covers all equipment not essential to flight but which
permits the aircraft to perform special functions, Sec-
tions V and VI are obvious. Section VII covers lengthy
discussions on any technique or theory of operation,
which may be applicable to the particular aircraft in
question. The experienced pilot will probably not need1.0, 17-87B-1
to read this section but he should check it for any pos-
sible new information. The contents of the remaining
sections are fairly obvious.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
‘These Flight Manuals are constantly maintained cur-
rent through an extremely active revision program.
Frequent conferences with operating personnel and
constant review of UR's, accident reports, flight test
reports, etc., assure inclusion of the latest data in
these manuals. In this regard, it is essential that
you do your part! If you find anything you don't like
about the manual, let us know right away. We cannot
correct an error whose existence is unknown to us.
PERSONAL COPIES, TABS AND BINDERS
In accordance with the provisions of AFR 5-13, flight
crew members are entitled to personal copies of the
Flight Manuals. Flexible, loose leaf tabs and binders
have been provided to hold your personal copy of the
Flight Manual. ‘These goodiooking, simulated-leather
binders will make it easier for you to revise your man-
ual as well as to keep it in good shape. These tabs
and binders are secured through your local materiel
staff and contracting officers.
HOW TO GET COPIES
If you want to be sure of getting your manual on time,
‘order them before you need them. Early ordering will
assure that enough copies are printed to cover your
requirements. Technical Order 0-5-2 explains how to
order Flight Manuals so that you automatically will
get all revisions, changes, and Safety of Flight Supple
ments. Basically, all you have to do is order the re.
quired quantities in the Publication Requirements Table
(7.0. 0-8-1). Talk to your Senior Materiel Staff Offi-
cer - it is his job to fulfill your Technical Order re~
quests, Make sure to establish some system that will
rapidly get the manuals and Safety of Flight Supplements
to the flight crews once they are received on the base.
SAFETY OF FLIGHT SUPPLEMENTS
Safety of Flight Supplements are used to get information
to you in ahurry. Safety of Flight Supplements use the
same number as your Flight Manual, except for the
addition of a suffix letter, Supplements covering loss
of life will get to you in 48 hours; those concerning
serious damage to equipment will make it in 10 days.
You can determine the status of Safety of Flight Supple-
ments by referring to T.O. 0-1-1A. This is the only
‘way you can determine whether a supplement has been
rescinded. The title page of the Flight Manual and
title block of each Safety of Flight Supplement should
also be checked to determine the effect that these pub-
cations may have on existing Safety of Flight Supple-
‘ments, Itis critically important that you remain con-
stantly aware of the status of all supplements - you
must comply with all existing supplements but there
{is no point in restricting the operation of your air-
craft by complying with a supplement that has been
replaced or rescinded, If you have ordered your Flight
‘Manual on the Publications Requirements Table, you
automatically will receive all supplements pertaining
to your aircraft. ‘Technical Order 0-5-1 covers some
‘additional information regarding these supplements.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

ENGINES
‘Thrust is supplied by two Continental J69-T-25 engines.
Approximate standard sea level maximum thrust rating
for the engines is 1025 pounds each. The J69-T-25
engine is a centrifugal flow gas turbine engine. The
‘engine has a single entry ram air inlet, a single stage
axial flow turbine directiy connected to the compressor
on a common rotor shaft. Air drawn into the inducer
and compressor rotors, is compressed and forced into
the combustion chamber where it is mixed with injected
fuel and burned. The hot gases are directed upon the
turbine rotor which speeds up the compressor turbine
shaft to draw in and compress additional air. The hot
gases of combustion pass through the exhaust diffuser
and expand in the aircraft's tailpipe to produce thrust
‘The engines accessory section, driven by the compres
sor-turbine shaft, provides reduction gearing and mount—
ing pads for all engine driven accessories.
ENGINE FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM
Fuel flow requirements are established by the pilot's
or instructor's throttle movements, and fuel flow to the
engine is delivered and regulated by the engine fuel con-
trol system (figure 1-3). The system includes the en—
gine-driven fuel pump unit and the fuel control unit.
Engine Driven Fuel Pumps
‘The engine-driven fuel pump unit, consisting of a cen-
trifugal pump and two gear-type pumps (figure 1-3),
supplies the fuel pressure required for the proper oper-
ation of the fuel control unit, All fuel flowing through
the pump unit must first pass through the centrifugal
pump. This pump acts as a suction pump in case of
boost pump failure and pressurizes the fuel to prevent
the possibility of cavitation in the two gear-type pumps
due to entrained vapors. The two gear-type pumps
operate in parallel, each one having enough capacity
to handle the entire fuel requirements of the engine
under all operating conditions.
Fuel Control
‘The fuel control unit (figure 1-3) regulates the fuel flow
to the engine. The unit contains a starting fuel sole-
noid valve, a speed governing element, and an acceler-
ation control. ‘The starting fuel solenoid valve regulates
the fuel flow to the starting nozzles during the starting
14
ulates the fuel flow through the governor control valve
‘to maintain the engine speed selected by the positioning
of the throttle regardless of airspeed or altitude changes.
‘Because the engine-driven fuel pump unit delivers more
fuel than the engine requires, the speed governing cle-
‘ment contains a bypass valve which allows the excess
fuel to return to the fuel input line. The acceleration
control prevents over-temperature and surge during
‘engine acceleration regardless of the rapidity of throttle
position adjustments.
When flying at an altitude of 25,000 feet or a-
dove, extreme caution should be exercised to
prevent rapid throttle movement. Avoid flight
above 35, 000 feet since engine flame-out may
‘oceur above this altitude when engine speed is
changed. In the event of engine flame-out, fol-

Section HI.
THROTTLES
Four throttles (1, 2, 9, 10, figure 1-5) are provided,
two on each quadrant and are used to maintain desired
‘engine rpm. Each quadrant is marked CUT-OFF, IDLE,
and 100%. The two sets of throtiles are mechanically
interconnected, one with the other; consequently, when
one throttle is moved fore or aft, the corresponding
throttle on the opposite quadrant is also moved fore or
aft, Throttle movement, through the use of push-pull
rods and torque tubes, mechanically actuates each en-
ine fuel control unit. "Lift type idle detents are included
on the instructor's quadrant to prevent inadvertent posi
tioning of either set of throttles from the IDLE to CUT-
OFF position. The dle detents affect both sets of throt-
tles. It is necessary, therefore, to lift the instructor's
throttles past the idle detent if engine shutdown is to be
made using the pilot's throttles, It is advisable to use
instructor's throttles for all engine starts in order to
have cut-off feature available in case of an engine hot
start. A throttle friction knob, located on the inboard
side of the pilot's quadrant, provides a means of in-
creasing throttle friction. If a throttle is retarded to
10% rpm during flight and the gear is not down and lock~
ed, a switch is actuated which supplies current from
the 28 volt de bus to the landing gear audible system.
Ifa throttle is positioned below 70% rpm and the speed
brake switch is in the OUT position, the thrust atten-
uuators will extend into the airstream. The right engine
throttle grips (2, 10, figure 1-5) contain the microphone
switch and speed brake switch.
THROTTLE FRICTION KNOBS
A throttle friction knob (6, figure 1-5) located on the
inboard side of the pilot's quadrant provides a means
of increasing throttle friction. Turning the throttle
friction knob clockwise or counterclockwise will re-
spectively increase or decrease friction on the throt-T.0, 17-37B-1 Section I

ENGINE COOLING
Air for engine cooling enters through openings located
on the top and bottom of each engine nacelle. ‘The cool-
ing air passes over the combustion section of the en-
gine and exits through the ejector cooling shroud. ‘The
vented areas are always open and cannot be controlled
from the cockpit.
ENGINE ICE WARNING SYSTEM
‘The engine ice warning system warns the pilot of icing
in the engine air inlet ducts. An engine ice warning
light (10, figure 1-6), located on the instrument panel
{is amber in color and is illuminated for a brief period
(4 seconds) once ice has formed on the ice detect probe
which is located in the left engine air inlet duct. A
heating element in the detect probe is automatically
turned on by an interpreter device after a brief period
of icing. After the existing ice has been melted from
the detect probe, the warning light will go out and re-
main out until the ice condition is repeated. ‘This cycle
will be repeated as long as icing conditions exist. Pow-
er for the warning light and ice detect probe 1s received
from the 28 volt de bus and is protected by a etreuit
breaker (figure 1-12).
Note
Retarding the throttles rapidly will cause the
engine ice warning light to occasionally illum-
inate, due to negative pressure in the ice detect,
probe.
IGNITION SYSTEM
An ignition system, operating on 28 volt de current
from the bus, is provided for each engine. Each igni-
tion system comprises an ignition coil, two fuel igni-
tors, and a two position chanel guarded ignition switch.
Ignition is used for all ground starting, but is not used
to ustain combustion once the engine has started, The
jpaenapuemijucaatod ig aenabtonemey irs
12).
Ignition Switches
The ignition switches (15, 18, figure 1-9), one for
each engine, are located on the switch panel and regulate
ignition and starting fuel to the engines. The switches
are channel guarded and are marked Ignition and have
positions ON and OFF. The switches are spring loaded
from the ON position to the OFF position. Position-
{ing an ignition switch to ON allows current from the 28
volt de bus to energize a starting fuel solenoid valve
and to energize the ignition coll for its respective en-
gine. Once the engine has sustained combustion, the
ignition switch should be released and allowed to re-
turn to the OFF position. The ignition switches are
protected by circuit breakers (figure 1-12).
Section I
CAUTION}
During engine flame out, placing the ignition
switch to ON while the throttle is advanced could
result in damage to the engine.
STARTING SYSTEM
A starting system, operating on 28 volt de current from
the bus is provided for each engine, Each starting sys-
tem consists of a starter switch and a combination start-
er-generator located on the forward portion of the en-
gine. An external power source should normally be used
for starting the engines although the aircraft battery
may be capable of starting the engines, depending on
its state of charge, etc.
Starter Switches
A starter switch (14, 17, figure 1-9) for each engine is
located on the switch panel. The switches are marked
Starter, with positions GND, OFF, and AIR. The
switches are channel guarded and are spring-ioaded
from the GND and AIR positions to the OFF position.
‘All engine starts on the ground are made using the GND
position, ‘This permits 28 volt dc power from the main
bus to energize the starter. When the starter switch
{s released, it will retura to the center OFF position,
breaking the electrical circuit to the starter. ‘The AI.
position on the starter switch can be used on this air-
craft to effect an airstart. ‘The starter switches are
protected by chrcuit breakers (gure 1-12). (For normal
Starting procedures, refer to Section Il. For emergency
airsiart procedures, refer to Section HI.)
ENGINE INSTRUMENTS
Tachometers
‘Two tachometers (15 figure 1-6); located on the instru-
‘ment panel, are self-generating instruments that indi-
cate engine speed in percentage of the maximum allow-
able rpm. They operate independently of the aircraft
electrical system except for instrument lighting. On
this aircraft 100% engine speed is 21,730 rpm. Used
in conjunction with the exhaust gas temperature indi-
cator, this instrument enables engine power to be set
‘without exceeding the engine limitations,
Exhaust Gas Temperature Indicators
‘Two exhaust temperature indicators (13, figure 1-6),
located on the instrument panel, are self-generating
instruments that indicate temperature in degrees of
centigrade. Each instrument provides a visual indi-
cation of its respective engine operating exhaust gas
temperature. Electrical current for the exhaust
temperature indicators is supplied by six thermocoup
located in the tallpipe of each engine. On aircraft A,
the dial face of the indicators is different from those on
aircraft A, however, engine temperatures have re~
mained the same.

Fuel Flow Indicators
Fuel flow, in pounds per hour to each engine, is indi-
cated by two fuel flow indicators (23, figure 1-6), lo-
cated on the instrument panel, The fuel flow indicators
are powered from the 28 volt single phase ac bus which
4s supplied by a transformer operating on 115 volt single
phase ac power supplied by the inverters. If the quantity
of fuel delivered to each engine should differ, it will be
indicated by the corresponding fuel indicator. Conse-
Quently, there are no fuel pressure gages included in
the system. ‘The fuel flow indicators are protected by
fuses (figure 1-12).
Oil Pressu:

Two oll pressure gages (24, figure 1-6), one for each
engine are located on the instrument panel and indicate
oll pressure to the engines in pounds per square inch
and are direct pressure operated gages.

protected by fuses (figure 1-12),
OIL SUPPLY SYSTEM
Each engine has an independent dry sump full scavenger
oll system. The ol serves both for lubricating and cool-
ing and is a completely automatic system requiring no
control action by the pilot. Oil is gravity fed from the

engine driven oll pump. The oil pump distributes the oil
under pressure, to the accessory gears and the engine
bearings and then through two Scavenger pumps that
transfers the oil back to the ofl supply tank. Each oil
system uses 1.56 U.S. gallons of oll, of this amount
1.10 U.S. gallons is usable oil in a 2.25 U.S. gallon
tank (.69 gallons expansion space). ‘The oll pump does
not have an inverted flight scavenger element but the
engine will operate for 30 seconds inverted without
difficulty. Inverted operation is based on the fuel sys-
tem limitation, which is 30 seconds. See figure 1-27
for ofl specification.
FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM
Three fuel tanks are installed in the aircraft: one in
the fuselage, and one in each wing. Six interconnected
fuel cells in each wing make one wing fuel tank. (See
figures 1-10). Fuel is supplied to the engines from the
fuselage tank by an electrical fuel boost pump. In nor-
mal operation, fuel is transferred, under pressure,
from the wing tanks to the fuselage tank in equal quantity
by an electrical proportioner pump. The proportioner
Pump operates automatically when the fuel quantity in
the fuselage tank drops below a preset level. In emer-
gency operation, fuel is supplied to the fuselage tank
from the wing tanks by gravity feed. ‘The aircraft is
refueled by means of two filler points, located in the
outboard leading edge of each wing. Refer to figure 1-27
for fuel specification. Refer to Section VII for additional
information on the fuel system management.
FUEL BOOST PUMP SWITCH
One, two-position channel guarded fuel boost pump
switch (16, figure 1-9) is located on the switch panel to
provide control of the fuel boost pump. The switch is
marked Fuel Boost Pump and has ON and OFF positions
‘which control the fuel, boost pump located in the bottom
of the fuselage tank. Normally, the switch is always in
the ON position to keep the fuel boost pump in constant
operation while either or both engines are running.
Power for the switch is supplied from the 28 volt de bus
and is protected by a circuit breaker (figure 1-12).

for the "I" handles are on the instrument panel and are
labeled, FUEL, PUSH-ON, PULL-OFF. In the PUSH-
ON position, a circuit to the motorized fuel shutoff valve
is completed which permits 28 volt de power from the
28 volt de bus to open the valves and let fuel flow from
the fuel boost pump to the engine fuel control. When the
"WT" handle is in the PULL-OFF position the motorized
fuel shutoff valve is energized closed, For all normal
operating conditions the fuel shutoff "T" handle should
be in the PUSH-ON position. Only in an emergency con
dition should the PULL-OFF position be used. Each "T"
handle also contains a 28 volt de red light which is
illuminated whenever an overheat ar fire condition exists
ina respective engine nacelle. The "T" handles and
the red warning lights are both protected by circuit
breakers (figure 1-12),
FUEL QUANTITY INDICATOR
‘A fuel quantity indicator (20, figure 1-6), mounted on the
left shock panel, indicates the quantity, in pounds, of
total fuel remaining or total fuel remaining in the right
or left wing, by holding the fuel gaging selector switch
in the corresponding position. ‘The fuel quantity indica-
tor receives its power from the single phase 115 volt
ac bus and is protected by a circuit breaker (figure
1-12),
FUEL GAGING SELECTOR SWITCH
‘The fuel gaging selector switch (22, figure 1-6), is
located on the instrument panel and has three positions,
LEFT, TOTAL, and RIGHT. The switch uses power
from the 28 volt de bus to complete a circuit between
the fuel quantity indicator and the fuel cell probes. The
switch is spring-loaded from the LEFT and RIGHT
positions to the TOTAL position, indicating total fuel
aboard, Fuel remaining in the left or right wing tank
can be gaged by placing and holding the switch in the
LEFT or RIGHT positions, respectively, until the read-
{ing on the fuel quantity indicator stabilizes.
Note
To insure the correct amount of fuel in the right
or left wing tank, the {uel gaging selector switch
must be held in the corresponding position until
the fuel quantity indicator needle stabilizes.
FUEL QUANTITY INDICATOR TEST SWITCH
‘The fuel quantity indicator test switch (18 figure 1-6),
located on the instrument panel, uses power from the
28 volt de bus during the operational check of the fuel
‘quantity indicator, Pushing in on the fuel quantity test
switch returns the fuel quantity indicator needle to
zero indicating that the fuel gaging system is operating.

‘The switch is protected by a circuit breaker (figure
1-12).
FUEL SYSTEM SWITCH
‘The fuel system switch (21 figure 1-6), is located on
the instrument panel and is cover guarded to the NOR-
MAL position. With the switch in the NORMAL posi-
tion, it energizes the solenoid locked fuel shutoff valve
to the closed position. For normal operation of the
fuel system, the fuel system switch must be in the
NORMAL position, With the switch in the EMERGENCY
position, it discontinues electrical power to the sole-
noid locked fuel shutoff valve allowing it to spring open,
and the amber gravity feed light will be illuminated,
indicating that the fuel system is operating on the emer-
gency gravity feed system. The fuel system switch
receives its power {rom the 28 volt de bus and 1s pro-
tected by a fuse (figure 1-12).
FUEL LOW LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
‘The fuel low level warning light (17 figure 1-6) located
‘on the instrument panel will illuminate when fuel in the
fuselage tank reaches a level where approximately
385 pounds of fuel is remaining. This light, operated
through the action of a fuel low level float switch located
in the fuselage tank, receives its power from the 28 volt
dc bus and is protected by a circuit breaker (figure 1-
12).
FUEL GRAVITY FEED LIGHT
An amber gravity {eed press-to-test light, (19, figure
1-6) located on the left shock panel, provides the pilot
with an indication that the fuel system is not functioning
properly and is on gravity feed. ‘The gravity feed light
is powered by the 28 volt de bus through the operation
of the solenoid locked fuel shutoff valve and the fuselage
fuel tank float switches. When the fuel system switch
is in the EMERGENCY position, the gravity feed light
‘will be on. ‘The gravity feed light is protected by a cir-
cuit breaker (figure 1-12),
FUEL STRAINER DRAIN VALVE
A fvel strainer drain valve is located in the fuel strainer,
at the low point of the system, The fuel strainer drain
valve is a self-closing valve and is used to drain conden-
sation and sediment from the fuel strainer, it can be
reached through an access door located left of the for-
ward tunnel access door, and is not accessible in flight,
FUEL DEFUELING VALVE
A defueling valve, located in the lowest point of the
fuselage fuel tank Serves as a means to defuel the air-
craft or drain sediment and condensation from the fuse-
lage fuel tank, The defueling valve has three positions,
drain, off and bleed. Access to the defueling valve is
gained through an access door located on the center tun=
nel access door and is not accessible during flight.

ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM
The aircraft is equipped with a direct current and an
alternating current electrical power supply system.
‘The de system is powered by two engine driven gener-
ators and a battery. The ac system is powered by one
main inverter. A spare inverter is provided as a safety
feature and will assume the ac load of the aireraft if the
main inverter fails. Power for the inverters is supplied
by the aircraft de system. An ac transformer is used
to reduce the ac power, on aireraft , and additional
transformer is installed to reduce the ac power for
internal lighting of the MM-3 attitude indicator. ‘The
de power system can be connected to an external power
source for ground operation through an external power
receptacle.
ELECTRICALLY OPERATED EQUIPMENT
For complete reference of power distribution to electri-
cally operated equipment, refer to figure 1-13.
DC ELECTRICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION
‘The 28 volt de power supply system is powered by two
‘engine driven 200 ampere generators and a 24 volt 34
ampere hour battery. ‘The battery, located in the left-
hand nose section is used to supply current to the de
bus if both generators fail, T2e dc generators function
as starter-generators, cranking the engines until the
engines have accelerated to operational speed and then
cutting in as generators after engine speed reaches
approximately 34% rpm, Higher than idle rpm may be
required for the generators to carry equipment load
and/or to compensate for low battery conditions. If
output of either generator becomes excessive, a voliage
regulator at each generator automatically reduces the
‘generator output proportionally with that required by the
de system. When generator output drops below zero am~
pere a reverse current relay for each generator auto-
matically disengages that generator from the de system.
‘The generators and generator controls are protected by
cireuit breakers located in the left-hand nose section
(figure 1-12).
EXTERNAL POWER RECEPTACLE
‘The de power system can be connected to an external
power source for ground operation through the external
power receptacle (14, figure 1-2) located on the left-
hand nose section. This receptacle is protected by a
spring-loaded door.
DC CIRCUIT BREAKER
‘The de electrical power supply system is protected by
push-pull type circuit breakers (figure 1-12) mounted on
‘two separate panels. Circuit breakers for the genera~
tors, canopy and the spare inverter, are located on a
panel in the left hand nose section and not accessible
during Might. ‘The remaining circuit breakers are lo-

cated on the right side of the instrument panel, The
circuit breakers function to protect the de power system
by disengaging automatically whenever an overloaded or
short circuit exists. Should a circuit breaker pop out,
it can be reset by manually pushing in on the circuit
breaker. A de circuit can also be opened manually by
pulling out the respective circuit breaker for that line,
CAUTION!
Circuit breakers should not be pulled or reset
without a thorough understanding of all the ef -
fects and results. Use of the circuit breakers
can eliminate from the system some related
warning system or interlocking circuit. A cir-
cuit breaker that continues to pop out after be-
ing reset, could result in an electrical fire and
further attempts to reset it should be discon-
tinued.
BATTERY SWITCH
The battery switch (11, figure 1-9) located on the switch
panel is used to disconnect the battery from the aircraft
electrical system. The switch is marked Battery and
has two positions, ON and OFF, which control the cir
ccuit accordingly. ‘When the switch is in the ON position,
the battery is connected directly to the 28 volt de bus:
[CAUTION
‘The battery switch must be in the OFF position
when external power is connected to the air-
craft, as damage to the battery will result.
GENERATOR SWITCHES
‘The guarded de generator switches (10, 12, figure 1-8),
located on the switch panel, are used to control the de
generator operation. The Switches are marked L Gen
and R Gen and have two positions, ON and OFF and
function to control corresponding generator output to
the 28 volt de bus. The generator switches are pro-
tected by circuit breakers located in,the left-hand nose
section (figure 1-12).
LOADMETERS
‘Two loadmeters (25, figure 1-6), one for each generator,
are located on the left instrument panel. The loadmeter
which consists of an ammeter, on which the scale has
been calibrated to read from -0,1 to 1.25 times the
generator related output, to indicate that proportion of
generator rated output being used
AC ELECTRICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION
The ac power supply system is powered by a 250 va
three phase 400 cycle main inverter. A spare inverter
with a capacity of 250 va three phase 400 cycle, is
provided as a safety feature and will assume the ac oad
f.the aircraft if the main inverter fails. On aircraft
‘Av alternating current is distributed through three
1-20
T, 0. 19-37B-1
bus networks, and by the use of a transformer, supplies
two separate voltage systems. These systems consist
of 115 volt three phase, 400 cycle bus; a 115 volt single
Phase, 400 cycle bus; and a 28 volt, Single phase, 400
cycle bus, On aircraft A.a fourth bus network has been
added, and by the use of a second transformer, supplies
five volt single phase 400 cycle power, Power for the
inverters is supplied by the aircraft's de system. ‘The
inverters are protected by cireuit breakers (figure 1-12).
INVERTER SWITCH
‘The inverter switch (13, figure 1-9) is used for manu-
ally selecting main or spare inverter as power supply
for the ac system. The switch has three positions;
MAIN, which is the position for all normal operation;
SPARE, for manually selecting the spare inverter as
a power source if the main inverter fails; and OFF
which breaks the 28 volt dc electrical supply to both
the main and spare inverters. Normally, the main
inverter supplies power for all ac operated equipment.
‘The spare inverter receives its power from the battery
and when the inverter switch is in the SPARE position,
the spare inverter will operate. The main and spare
inverters and inverter switch are protected by a cir
cuit breaker (figure 1-12).
Note
Inverter failure can only be detected by obsery-
ing the instruments receiving ac power.
‘AC FUSES
All of the ac circuits are protected by fuses (figure 1-12)
which are replaceable during flight. ‘The fuses are
located on the ac fuse panel located ta the right of the
de circuit breaker panel. Spare fuses are located above
the de circuit breaker panel on the under side of the
glare shield.
HYDRAULIC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM
‘The hydraulic power supply system (figure 1-14, con-
sists of two engine driven hydraulic pumps, one on each
engine. Either pump is capable of maintaining full sys-
tem pressure with only a slight increase in time required
to build up pressure. ‘The system supplies power to ac~
tuate most of the major operating components of the air-
craft, Normal operation of the hydraulic power supply
system is automatic when the engines are running. A
hydraulic reservoir with a usable capacity of approxi
mately one U.S. gallon, supplies hydraulic fluid to the
engine driven hydraulic pumps. Any sudden surges in
the system are absorbed by an air charged accumulator
‘which also holds reserve hydraulic fluid pressure for
‘emergency use. A pressure regulator maintains a pres-
sure of 1250 to 1500 psi on the system at all times during
operation, however, a pressure relief valve, spring-
loaded to relieve ata slightly higher pressure than the
A ssc 501861 ond onT. 0. 19-37B-1
pressure regulator, protects the system in case of rogu-
lator failure, An air bottle, located in the nose wheel
well is used for emergency landing gear extension in
case of hydraulic power supply failure. Refer to figure
1-27 for hydraulic fluid specification.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM PRESSURE GAGE 4
‘The hydraulic pressure gages, (11, figure 1-6), located
on the instrument panel, are direct reading instruments
and indicate hydraulic pressure in pounds per square inch.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM PRESSURE INDICATOR A
‘The hydraulic pressure indicator (35, figure 1-6), lo-
cated on the instrument panel is a remote indicating in
sstrument and is operated by the 28 volt single phase 400
cycle ac bus. The indicator indicates hydraulic pres
sure in pounds per square inch.
FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
‘The flight control system comprises two groups of con-
trol surfaces, primary and secondary. The primary
control surface group includes ailerons, elevators, and
rudders. The secondary control surface group includes
left aileron, left elevator, and rudder trim tabs. The
function of the primary control surface group is to pro-
vide the pilot with a means of controlling the aircraft.
All of the primary control surfaces are manually oper-
ated, through a system of cables, pulleys, bellcranks,
and push-pull rods, and are controlled with conventional
‘dual control sticks and dial rudder pedals. The function
of the secondary control surface group is to provide an
aerodynamic control for the surface to which they are
attached and serves to hold that surface at a position that
will result in 2 balancing or trimming of the aircraft for
any normal attitude of flight. All of the trim tabs are
operated by the 28 volt de bus and are controllable from
the cockpit. The trim tabs are protected by circuit
breakers (figure 1-12).
CONTROL STICK GRIP
Aileron and elevator control is maintained by dual con-
trol sticks on individual yokes, interconnected to per
mit control of the aircraft using either control stick.
Each control stick has a typical flighter type control
stick grip (figure 1-15), with a button type switch (1,
figure 1-15) controlling the aileron and elevator trim
tabs and a button type switch (4 figure 1-15), controlling
‘the nose wheel steering. A switch (2, figure 1-15), on
the instructor's control stick grip only, is provided to
cut oat all incoming radio signals to both the pilot and
instructor's headset but permits intercommunieation
and transmission beyond the aircraft. ‘The remaining
control stick grip switches are nonfunctional.
RUDDER PEDALS
ach set of rudder pedals is the conventional suspended
Section I
type. Fore and aft movement on the rudder pedals
controls the rudder position through mechanical linkage;
toe pressure on the pedals operates the brakes, Each
‘set of pedals is equipped with rudder pedal adjustments
(18 figure 1-4), and when cranked move pedals fore or
aft to provide the desired leg comfort.

AILERON AND ELEVATOR TRIM TAB SWITCH
Normal trim of the aileron and elevator trim tabs is,
provided through a five position, momentary togele type
aileron and elevator trim tab switch (1, figure 1-18), lo-
cated on top of each control stick grip. ‘The switeh re-
ceives its power from the 28 volt de bus, and is spring
Joaded from all positions to the center off position,
When the trim tab switch is moved to the left (left wing
down) or to the right (right wing dows), 28 volt de power
operates the aileron trim motor. The motor is geared
‘down and actuates a push-pull rod which in turn positions
the aileron trim tab up or down, depending on which di
rection the switch was positioned. Pushing the switch
forward (nose down) or aft (nose up) permits 28 volt de
Power to operate the elevator trim tab motor. The ele-
vator trim tab motor positions the elevator trim tab to
the desired up or down position through a serewjack
arrangement. When the elevator trim tab is in the new-
tral position, and the battery switch Is ON, a green ele
vator tab position light (5, figure 1-6), wall be illumi—
nated by current supplied by the 28 volt de bus. The
aileron and elevator trim tab switch and the elevator
trim tab position light are both protected by circuit
