AIRCRAFT PRESENTATION

The EPSILON aircraft, trainer equipped with a piston engine, is designed for basic training of military pilots.

The two cockpits are arranged in tandem. The rear cockpit is raised by 2.76 in (70 mm) with regards to front
cockpit. Each cockpit includes an instrument panel, which is tilted forward (8°), and two consoles located on
both sides of the seat.

Access to the cockpits is gained without outside device, by stepping from the rear of the wing. Step areas
are designed for that purpose on both sides of the fuselage.

300 HP (224 kW) at 2700 tr/min.

The "HARTZELL" metallic propeller is of pitch-regulated constant-speed type. It is a direct drive propeller and
turns clockwise (figure page 1/24).

1 ENGINE
The engine is a six-cylinder, horizontally opposed, air-cooled model.
Its characteristics are :
- Power (takeoff and max continuous)..........................................................300 HP at 2700 tr/min
(cruise at 75 %) .............................................................................225 HP at 2450 tr/min
(cruise at 60 %) .............................................................................180 HP at 2350 tr/min
- Cubic capacity .............................................................................. 540 cubic inches (8.87 litres)
- Compression ratio............................................................................................................... 8.7

A. GENERAL
Combustion is ensured by a "BENDIX" injection system (refer to COMBUSTION).
Ignition is performed by a "BENDIX" dual magneto (refer to IGNITION).
The engine is of classic design. The static-balanced crankshaft is also dynamic-balanced by
means of counterweights. This crankshaft is mounted on four plain bearings.
Distribution is ensured by:
- A camshaft;
- Hydraulic pushers;
- Rocker arms and their rods;
- V-valves (two per cylinder).
Air, which is picked up at the rear of the propeller, is directed under the cowl by baffles and
ensures cylinders and oil cooling.

B. COMBUSTION (figure page 1/29)


Combustion is ensured by the "BENDIX" injection system.
This system adjusts fuel flow depending on engine airflow.
It consists of:
- The air intake;
- Fuel metering and regulation;
- Fuel distribution.

Page 25
2001-05 Update
UCE122

Air intake
Air intake is ensured by:
- A box equipped with a flap, which may close up cool air inlet to let in hot air from the engine,
in order to avoid icing risk of injection unit. This hot air is not filtered.
The flap is controlled by the "AIR SECOURS MOTEUR" lever.

CAUTION

LEVER
- A nozzle containing the automatic mixture control (AMC) and the throttle valve.
The mixture automatic valve includes a needle controlled by an aneroid, which schedules
fuel flow according to atmospheric pressure and temperature. It is intended to set mixture
permanently depending on ambient conditions, what relieves the pilot from this adjustment.
The mixture delivered in full forward position is near the best power one (EGT peak – 70°C).
- A collector, which supplies each cylinder through a manifold.
Fuel metering - regulation
Fuel metering – regulation system allows to adjust manually mixture, when operation with a
mixture near best power one is not required in some flight cases (economical navigation).
The assembly comprises:
- A fuel inlet provided with a by-pass equipped metallic filter;
- A needle (R) controlled by the mixture control moves in front of a two-port slide valve;
NOTE
IDLE CUT-OFF POSITION OF THE MIXTURE CONTROL CUTS
OFF FUEL INLET.
- A port, which directs pressure-supplied fuel on lower face of the membrane (C).
- Another port, which directs according to mixture control position a fuel measured quantity
towards a slide valve.
- A needle (G) controlled by the throttle lever moves in front of a one-port slide valve and
directs a fuel quantity towards the membrane (C), on ball valve side.
This port corresponds to IDLE position of the throttle lever.
- A ball valve mechanically linked to the two membranes (A) and (C). Membrane (A), "Air"
membrane, takes into account the difference between total pressure and static pressure.
Membrane (C), "Fuel" membrane, receives on one face fuel measured by the throttle and on
the other face fuel scheduled by the mixture control.
These two membranes are intended to ensure REGULATION.
- A two-spring assembly that ensures correct fuel supply in idle range.
- A fuel outlet, towards the divider, controlled by the ball valve.

Fuel distribution
A divider associated to six injectors ensures fuel distribution.
The divider located on engine upper part includes:
- A fuel inlet from the ball valve;
- A membrane-valve assembly and its spring;
- Six fuel outlets towards injectors;
- One fuel outlet towards the flowmeter.
The divider is intended to:
- Keep and distribute pressure-supplied fuel with the membrane-valve assembly;
- Ensure a definite fuel supply cut-off at engine shut-off (IDLE CUT-OFF position of mixture
control).
The injectors are of air inlet type. They are located next to inlet valves (one injector per
cylinder). Each injector is provided with a recess where ambient air mixes to fuel, so allowing a
best spraying.

C. IGNITION
Ignition is performed through a "BENDIX" dual magneto, which provides spark plugs with a
high-voltage double ignition (two spark plugs per cylinder). Ignition order is 1.4.5.2.3.6.
A selector, located only at front station on instrument panel strip R.H. side, allows magneto
operation and selection.
An indicator light, located on the alarms panel, indicates to the rear station pilot the magneto
selector position at the front station.
NOTE
THE ILLUMINATION OF "MAGNET SEULE" REAR STATION
YELLOW INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT INFORM THE PILOT
ABOUT OPERATIONAL MAGNETO (L.H. MAGNETO OR R.H.
MAGNETO).

D. STARTING
Engine starting is performed thanks to an electrical direct starter. The electric source may be
either the main battery or a ground power unit.

Propeller lever
The position of the propeller lever determines the engine rotation speed insofar as manifold
pressure is sufficient to ensure chosen rotation speed. Lever forwards corresponds to an RPM
increase and inversely rearwards.
Mixture control
The position of the control determines fuel flow. In rear stop position, it cuts off fuel inlet to
injection system. Operation of the mixture control is independent of mixture automatic valve
operation.
NOTE
FRONT AND REAR CONTROLS OF THE THREE LEVERS ARE
INTERCONNECTED. FRICTION ADJUSTMENT OF CONTROL
MANEUVER IS PERFORMED BY MEANS OF A KNURLED
KNOB LOCATED ON FRONT CONSOLE L.H. SIDE ONLY.

F. ENGINE MONITORING CLUSTER


Monitoring instruments are arranged on R.H. instrument panel of each station.
These instruments are:
- A manifold pressure (mbar) and fuel flow (L/h) dual indicator;
- An electrical tachymeter (tr/min = RPM);
- An EGT indicator (°C);
- An oil temperature and cylinder temperature dual indicator (°C);
- An oil pressure indicator (bars).
NOTE
OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR AT REAR STATION IS A
REPEATER OF THE INDICATOR AT FRONT STATION.

2 PROPELLER
The propeller is a "HARTZELL" variable pitch two-blade model, provided with counterweights. Its
speed is the result of the balance between counterweight action and governor action.

A. GOVERNOR
The "WOODWARD" governor comprises:
- A gear pump;
- A pilot valve plunger;
- Flyweights;
- A compensator spring and its control;
- An overpressure valve.

B. REGULATION PRINCIPLE (figure page 1/31)


Propeller rotation speed is dependent upon the balance between two actions:
Action of counterweights
By propeller rotation, counterweights, as a result of centrifugal force, tend to get closer to the
rotation plane.
As they drag along with them their respective blade, they tend to position the propeller in
"HIGH PITCH".
Action of the governor
The governor engine-driven pump is fed by the lubrication system and supplies hydraulic
pressure.
This pressure is delivered by a valve controlled by the flyweights, which gap changes
according to engine rotation speed.
An adjustable compensating spring allows acting against the action of flyweights.
This pressure directed through the crankshaft end acts on a piston on the spinner. This piston
tends to position the propeller to "LOW PITCH".
To change RPM, the pilot acts on governor spring using propeller control.
Flyweights movement leads to distributing valve travel, which directs oil to the piston.
When the piston strength is greater than the counterweights strength, the propeller pitch
decreases.
NOTE
IN CASE OF PROPELLER CONTROL BREAKING, AN OUTER
SPRING HOLDS CONTROL LEVER IN LOW-PITCH STOP.
In case of failure of the regulation, the pressure drop results in the automatic transition to
"HIGH PITCH" (counterweights effect).

LUBRICATION SYSTEM

1 DESCRIPTION
The lubrication system ensures continuously oil distribution in the engine. Addition of the
"CHRISTEN" system allows lubrication during inverted flight.
Lubrication system includes:
- A gear type oil pump;
- A thermostatic valve;
- A cartridge type filtering element;
- An adjustable pressure relief valve;
- A by-pass;
- An oil pressure transmitter;
- A temperature probe;
- Two series-connected coolers;
- A ball valve ("CHRISTEN" system);
- A ball oil separator ("CHRISTEN" system).
NOTE 1
THE "CHRISTEN" SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE INSTALLED
ON FIREWALL AND LINKED TO THE ENGINE BY HOSES.

NOTE 2
A METALLIC FILTER LOCATED IN THE HOUSING PROTECTS
THE OIL PUMP.
A door located in upper engine cowl allows access to filling port and to plug-gauge.

2 OPERATION
Lubrication is of wet carter type.
A gear pump sets under pressure oil in the system.
A thermostatic valve is inserted between the pump discharge aperture and the filtering cartridge. At
the beginning most of the oil is directed by the valve straight to the filtering cartridge and the
engine. When oil is hot, it is then directed by the valve to the coolers, which cool it, before it enters
the cartridge and the engine.
If this cartridge is clogged, oil is no more filtered and comes directly into the engine through the by-
pass.
The pressure relief valve setting allows adjusting oil pressure to a given value.

3 FUNCTION OF THE CHRISTEN SYSTEM

A. NORMAL FLIGHT (figure page 1/35)


The oil separator thanks to the position of its weighted ball, allows oil vapours from the engine
carter to escape through the breather. The ball valve thanks to the position of its balls allows
oil to circulate through the filter towards the pump and the lubrication circuits.

1
Page 33
1983-06
UCE122

B. INVERTED FLIGHT (figure page 1/37)


The oil drops into housing upper part.
The oil separator thanks to the position of its weighted ball, prevents oil from escaping through
the breather, while oil vapours are exhausted.
The ball valve thanks to the position of its balls allows oil to circulate towards the filter and the
pump through the inverted flight circuit.

4 MONITORING INSTRUMENTS
- "PRESS HUILE" low pressure warning light rated at 1.75 bar (alarms panel)
- Oil temperature indicator at the engine inlet (R.H. instrument panel)
- Oil pressure gage (R.H. instrument panel)

5 REFERENCE VALUES
Normal operation:
- Green sector: from 4.1 to 6.2 bars.
Acceptable operation:
- Lower yellow sector: from 1.75 to 4.1 bars, if engine power is lower than 2000 tr/min.
- Upper yellow sector: from 6.2 to 6.9 bars during engine warming phase.
- Maximum drop at the time of inverted flight transition: - 3.5 bars from initial pressure with
immediate rise.
NOTE
POSSIBLE FLASHING "PRESS HUILE" WARNING LIGHT, IF
PRESSURE < 5.25 BARS DURING NORMAL FLIGHT

CAUTION
IN THE MOST UNFAVOURABLE CONDITIONS WITH A LOAD
FACTOR CLOSE TO ZERO, THE MAXIMUM DROP OF
- 3.5 BARS MUST NOT EXCEED 4 SECONDS

equipped with a filter screen held with a snap ring. A sealed plug equipped with a small chain
blanks off filling port. The latter is equipped with a safety valve, which ensures air vent in
case of tank overpressure or negative pressure;
- An air vent circuit from tank high point to each wing lower surface by a Pitot type vent, which
also enables to increase air pressure on contained fuel. These vents are bored rearward to
allow water discharge;
- A roll-over valve at the tip of the tank limits fuel waste through the Pitot type vent during slide
slip or inverted flight;
- Two electrically transmitting gaging dipsticks, one on external side between ribs 6 and 7, the
other on internal side between ribs 1 and 2. The internal dipstick is equipped with a low level
detector. The gauge measuring total volume is 100 litres per tank;
- A drain and bleed valve at low point. It is installed at the wing lower surface between ribs 1
and 2. When pushing on valve, fuel can be discharged;
- A filter screen at system supply port.

2002-12 Update
UCE122

B. SELECTOR
The fuel selector control is only located on front station R.H. console.
A mechanic device holds it in L.H. or R.H. fixed position according to selection.
Magnetic (white) indicating lights installed on rear instrument panel inform the pilot about the
selection (R.H or L.H.).
When in the middle position, both tanks direct fuel towards feeder tank. However, this position
may lead to transfer incidents and must not be used.

CAUTION
DURING THE MANEUVER OF THE TANK SELECTOR (L.H.–
R.H. OR R.H.–L.H.), THE MAGNETIC REPEATER INDICATING
LIGHTS AND "LOW LEVEL" ALARMS GO OFF
C. "INVERTED FLIGHT" FEEDER TANK
The "inverted flight" feeder tank includes :
- An air vent common to both tanks and equipped with a float valve;
- A fuel inlet end fitting linked to tanks, on which a check valve is mounted;
- A fuel outlet end fitting, on which is mounted a weighted plunger tube;
- A drain and bleed valve at low point.
It contains 0.66 US Gal (2.5 litres).

D. ISOLATING VALVE
After the feeder tank, this valve is immobilized in position "OUVERT" (open) with a locking
wire.

E. DECANTING FILTER
The decanting filter is equipped with an all-metal filter mounted into a bowl and is installed at
the feeder tank outlet.
It is provided with a drain valve, a resetable yellow preclogging indicator and a red clogging
indicator with a by-pass.

F. ELECTRIC PUMP
The electric pump is installed after the decanting filter. It is controlled by the switch located on
front station L.H. console.

G. 140 µ FILTER
Located between the electric pump and the fuel shut-off valve, it protects the engine pump.

H. FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE


The fuel shut-off valve located behind firewall cuts off if necessary fuel supply. The control
lever of this valve is installed on R.H. console of each station. Front station lever is sealed in
open position.
To close the valve, levers must be moved rearwards.

1
Page 40
2002-12 Update
UCE122

I. MECHANICAL PUMP
The mechanical pump is of vane-type. It is installed on engine rear part and driven by the
latter.
This pump supplies fuel necessary to the injection system.
NOTE
FUEL HOSES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ARE
PROTECTED BY FIREPROOF TUBING.

J. AIR VENT SELECTOR


It allows venting of the selected tank.
Its control located under front station seat is mechanically linked to the tank selector.

K. ROLLOVER VALVES
A rollover valve installed in each tank is attached on top of the rib 8. It is equipped with a float
valve and limits fuel waste through the Pitot type air vent, when the aircraft is in inverted flight.

2 OPERATION
Fuel contained in tanks supplies the feeder tank by gravity.
The selector valve installed between the two tanks enables to supply this feeder tank from the L.H.
tank or from the R.H. tank.
At the feeder tank outlet, an isolating valve, secured in open-position, allows fuel to enter the
decanting filter, which protects the electric pump.
This pump is controlled from front station and sets if necessary the system under pressure. A filter
located between the electric pump and the fuel shut-off valve protect the system downstream,
especially the mechanical pump.
The mechanical pump supplies fuel to "BENDIX" injection system through a filter (see figure
page 1/29).
- INVERTED FLIGHT CASE
During inverted flight, the feeder tank is no more supplied. Only its content ensures supplying of
the engine through the weighted plunger tube.
A check valve prevents fuel reversal from feeder tank to tanks. This feeder tank will fill up again
during return to normal flight.
- OPERATIONAL INCIDENT (figure page 1/43)
If the selected tank air vent is obstructed, the pressure balance is ensured in the tank and the
feeder tank by the opening of the filling port emergency air vent valve, thus allowing a normal fuel
supply.
So, whatever the selected tank is, when icing conditions are temporarily encountered, fuel supply
is ensured.

CONTROL LINKAGE OF ROLL CONTROL

1 ROLL CONTROL (figure page 1/58)


The roll control is composed of:
- A stick handgrip;
- Bellcranks, connecting rods, bearings;
- Ailerons and their tabs.
Side movement of the stick handgrip through the control linkage of roll control ensures a deflection
of the ailerons by:
- 13°30 downwards,
- 18°00 upwards.

A. AILERONS
Of all-metal design (light alloy), the ailerons are statically overbalanced (110 %) by integrated
balance weights. They are hinged on three bearings attached to the small spar rear face of
each half-wing.
The aileron is controlled from the central bearing through an elastic linkage device called
"spring tab".

B. SPRING TAB (figure page 1/59)


The elastic linkage located between the bellcrank and the control surface is performed through
the torsion bar; on the other hand linkage of both bellcranks (aileron/tab) is rigid.

FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM OF SPRING TAB

Operation
On ground, the aileron/tab assembly operates as a single control surface.
When speed increases, air resistance increases on control surface. The pilot action distorts
the torsion bar, which causes tab deflection in the direction opposite to the one wanted for the
control surface. The aerodynamic force, which is then exerted on tab, deflects the control
surface in the desired direction.
The pilot force is then practically independent from the aircraft speed thanks to the tab
aerodynamic assistance.

- Bellcranks, rods, bearings;
- Spring bearing (return to neutral position);
- An elevator (two parts).
Longitudinal movement of the stick ensures a deflection of the elevator by:
Nose-up - 20°
Nose-down + 10°

A. ELEVATOR
Each half-control surface attached by two bearings to horizontal stabilizer is made of a light
alloy structure with polyester skin.
Their static balance (100 %) is performed with weights located in the horn of each tip and in
the leading edge.

B. RETURN TO NEUTRAL POSITION

25° to the right.

A. RUDDER
The design of this control surface is the same as that of the elevator.
It is hinged on two bearings, which are interdependent with the fin spar. The rudder control is
performed at the level of the lower bearing.
The static balance (100 %) is performed with compensating scissors located in the upper part
and with weights located in the leading edge.
A threshold double-acting cylinder, which is interdependent with the rudder control, ensures a
return to neutral position of the rudder.
The aerodynamic neutral position is ensured by a trim edge installed on the trailing edge lower
part.

LANDING GEARS

1 DESCRIPTION (figure page 1/69)


The retractable tricycle landing gear consists of a nose gear and two main gears. Each landing
gear is of shock-compensating rocker-beam type and is equipped with an oil/air shock absorber
and a single wheel provided with a low-pressure tire.
The landing gear wells are partially closed by doors the travel of which is mechanically linked to the
landing gear maneuver. The landing gear is activated by the hydraulic pressure provided by a
dual-direction gear electric pump and its tank.
The nose landing gear retracts rearwards, the main landing gears retract inwards. A
gas-compensating device for the nose landing gear and a spring-compensating device for the main
landing gears help for extension and downlock in normal and emergency operations.

A. MAIN LANDING GEARS


Each main gear is composed of:
- A landing gear leg;

The landing gear control lever is located on the L.H. side of the instrument panel strip at each pilot
station. It controls the landing gear normal operation and has two positions: R (retraction) and S
(extension).

1
Page 67
24-06-83
UCE122

The interconnection between front and rear stations is ensured by flexible controls. When the
aircraft is on ground, the control lever is locked down by an electromagnetic lock. This lock allows
control lever to be pushed up again only if:
- The landing gear shock absorbers are extended;
- The nose landing gear wheel is in the centerline.
NOTE
ON GROUND, A SAFETY PIN PREVENTS THE CONTROL
LEVER MANEUVER.

A. LANDING GEAR EMERGENCY HANDLE


The landing gear emergency handle is located above normal control lever at the front station
only.
When pulled, it is released from its position after manual unlocking of a safety device.
The handle is linked to "TRAIN HAUT" locking catches through flexible controls (cable +
sheath).

3 LANDING GEAR INDICATOR LIGHTS


The landing gear normal or emergency operation is indicated on the configuration panel located on
the L.H. side of the instrument panel at each station.
This panel includes:
- A red warning light, which indicates either the landing gears maneuver or the non-locking of one
of the landing gears or of all landing gears;
- Three green arrows for landing gear downlock;
- A push-knob for indicator lights test;
- A BIP push-knob;
- A flap deflection indicator.

4 AURAL CHECK OF LANDING GEAR DOWNLOCK


When "BIP" push-knob is pressed, a radio signal is delivered, if the landing gears are locked down.

5 INDICATING OF NON-EXTENDED LANDING GEAR

UCE122

BRAKES

The brakes are of single-disc type. Pads activated by the brake units pistons rub on this disc.
The brakes are of differential type and can be equally activated from the front station or the rear station
(figure page 1/70).

1 SYSTEM
The system is composed of:
- A tank;
- Four master cylinders (two per station);
- A parking brake valve;
- Two single-disc brake units (one per wheel).

2 BRAKING
It can be performed from one or the other station.
The pressure necessary for braking is provided by the master cylinder located above each pedal.
This pressure is delivered in proportion to the strength which is exerted on the pedal.
The brake system is provided with an automatic correction of the play, which is caused by the pads
wear.

WARNING
THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS NOT PROVIDED WITH A WHEEL
ANTILOCK DEVICE AND THE BRAKES ARE VERY EFFICIENT.
THEY MUST THEREFORE BE USED CAUTIOUSLY

3 UTILIZATION OF PARKING BRAKE


The parking brake control is located at the front station. This control activates a double hydraulic
valve, which keeps the pressures on the brakes, once the pedals have been depressed.
To release the parking brake, just fully turn the knob in the opposite direction (residual pressure).

RADIO-NAVIGATION

The radio-navigation instruments enable to know the aircraft position with regard to ground installations
(figures pages 1/89-92).
They are:
- The RMI, which gives:
• The aircraft magnetic heading,
• The VOR and TACAN QDM.
- The OBI course indicator, which gives:
• On one hand, in VOR or TACAN function, the variation between the displayed QDM and the measured
VOR or TACAN QDM, on the other hand the advance direction with regard to these ground stations,
• In ILS function, the correction to be performed concerning area and azimuth.
This indication is directional.
- The DME, which gives:
• The distance from the TACAN station;
- The marker panel, which gives:
• The vertical transition by illuminating indicator lights and by aural reception of the signals transmitted by
the "MARKER" beacons.
The required data come from the following systems:
- Heading gyromagnetic compass, which provides with the stabilized reference of the magnetic North;
- VOR/ILS receiver, which provides with the measurement of the radio-electric waves transmitted by the
VOR or ILS ground aids;
- TACAN transceiver, which asks the automatic-answer ground stations for azimuth and TACAN distance;
- Marker receivers, which provide with the measurement of the radio-electric waves transmitted by the
marker beacons.
A Mode 3/A and C transponder supplements the installation.

1 MULTI-FUNCTION INDICATORS (Figure page 1/91)

A. RADIO MAGNETIC INDICATORS (RMI)


An RMI is installed on each instrument panel of the front and rear stations.
The indicator front face presents:
- A compass card graduated from 5° to 5° with a mark every 30°, the four cardinal points
being marked by letters as N, E, S, W.
This card gives permanently the gyromagnetic heading coming from the heading
gyromagnetic compass in front of a fixed mark, which represents the aircraft lubber line:
.A single pointer, which indicates the bearing of the VOR station,
.A large pointer, which indicates the bearing of the TACAN station,
.An alarm flag, which indicates a bad supply of the heading gyromagnetic compass or an
internal defect of the instrument.
B. COURSE INDICATOR (OBI or TURN-AND-BANK INDICATOR)
An OBI is installed on the front and rear instrument panels.
This indicator is switchable either on VOR-ILS assembly or on TACAN assembly via the
VOR/ILS/TACAN switching unit.
Its front face presents:
- A compass card graduated from 5° to 5° with a mark every 30°, the four cardinal points
being marked by letters as N, E, S, W.
This card is controlled by a knob located at the bottom of the instrument on the R.H. side.
The card upper part gives the selected course in front of a fixed mark.
- A moving vertical pointer (deviation bar) controlled through the VOR or TACAN bearing data
indicates the deviation between the displayed and noted courses (external square max.
deviation = 10°).
If the station bearing corresponds to the displayed course, the pointer is in the middle, in the
opposite case it will be on the left or on the right and will give then the direction of the
correction to be performed:
- Two marked windows, the one "TO" and the other "FROM", indicate the aircraft position with
regard to the station.
The displayed route is a QDM, when "TO" appears, and a radial in the opposite case.
In ILS function, the vertical pointer indicates the direction of the correction to be performed in
order to stay on the localizer beam (external square max. deviation = 2.5°); the horizontal
pointer indicates the correction to be performed to stay in the descent beam (glide-path); both
indications are directional.
- Two "OFF" alarm flags indicate a bad operation of the instrument or of the ground
transmitter.

C. TEST
When the test function is activated (VOR/ILS/TACAN control unit, displayed VOR and TACAN
frequencies):
- On the RMI, VOR and TACAN pointers position themselves to the North QDM;
- On the OBI – 360 displayed, the vertical pointer is centered, the alarm flag has disappeared,
the "TO" indicator is visible;
.010 displayed: the vertical pointer is in the left square,
.090 displayed: the vertical pointer is on left stop, transition to "FROM",

.170 displayed: the vertical pointer is in the left square,


.180 displayed: the vertical pointer is centered,
.190 displayed: the vertical pointer is in the right square,
.270 displayed: the vertical pointer is on right stop, transition to "TO",
.350 displayed: the vertical pointer is in the right square.
- When the test function is activated (displayed ILS frequency).
.On the OBI:
in upper position: the localizer pointer is on left stop, the glide-path pointer is on upper
stop, the alarm flags have disappeared,
in lower position: the localizer pointer is on right stop, the glide-path pointer is on lower
stop, the alarm flags have disappeared,
in neutral position: the pointers are centered, the alarm flags are visible.
NOTE
FOR THE AIRCRAFT UP TO NMR 65 INCLUSIVE, ONLY THE
LOCALIZER INDICATION IS OPERATIVE.

HEADING GYROMAGNETIC COMPASS ASSEMBLY

2 HEADING GYROMAGNETIC COMPASS SYSTEM (figure page 1/92)

A. DESCRIPTION
This assembly is composed of:
- A gyromagnetic compass,
- A flux valve,
- A synchronization galvanometer,
- A quick reset knob,
- A "GYRO" switch.

1
Page 92
24-06-83
UCE122

Gyromagnetic compass
It elaborates a stabilized heading reference, called "directional" or "gyromagnetic".
The gyromagnetic compass is installed in the electronics compartment.
It consists of a single box divided in three parts, which are:
- A gyroscopic part including a gyro rotor installed in an horizontal-axis site gimbal and a
vertical-axis azimuth gimbal.
The site gimbal is held in horizontal position through gyroscopic precession by a torque
motor controlled by an optoelectronic slaving.
The azimuth gimbal is reset on magnetic North by a similar slaving controlled by the flux
valve.
- An electronics part,
- A machine-synchro part.
It distributes the elaborated heading through two separate outlets:
- To the RMI (FWD) and TACAN system;
- To the RMI (RWD) and VOR/ILS system.
Flux valve
The flux valve is installed inside the L.H. wing.
This instrument detects the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field and transmits it
to the gyromagnetic compass.
Synchronization galvanometer
The synchronization indicator is located on the front station instrument panel.
It indicates the variation between the gyromagnetic heading data and that of the flux valve.
Quick reset knob
The knob is installed on the front station instrument panel.
A press on the push-knob enables the quick reset.
The alarm flag appears then on the RMI.
"GYRO" switch
The "GYRO" switch is located on the front station R.H. console (refer to ALTERNATING
GENERATION).

B. OPERATION
The gyromagnetic compass is supplied with alternating current of 115 and 26 V/400 Hz by the
static converter.
At energization, the gyro has no precise position. The elaborated heading is not synchronized
with the magnetic heading.
The site gimbal positions itself in the horizontal plane and the azimuth slaving is slow
(3°/minute).
Fifteen minutes after the starting and as long as the synchronization deviation is greater than
5°, the azimuth slaving is supplied in quick reset (85°/minute).

1
Page 93
2004-08 Update
UCE122

When the deviation becomes lower than or equal to 4°, the quick slaving changes into slow
slaving.
When the gyromagnetic compass is tuned, the alarm flag disappears on RMIs.
The tuning lasts about 1 minute.

3 VOR/ILS SYSTEM (Figure Page 1/95)

A. VOR/ILS RECEIVER
The VOR/ILS receiver is installed in the electronics compartment.
It works in the range of frequencies from 108 to 117.95 MHz with a channel separation of
50 KHz (200 channels).
The VOR/ILS distinction is made with regard to the frequency.
The receiver detects the azimuth and site signal (ILS function) of the ground station.
In output, the signal is applied to:
- The RMIs (VOR function);
- On interphone assembly, which relays at 1000 Hz the position call sign;
- On course deviation (OBI);
- On TO-FROM indicator (OBI) (VOR function).
NOTE
THE INFORMATION LOSS OR THE RECEPTION FAILURE IS
INDICATED BY THE OBI ALARM FLAGS.

B. CONTROL UNITS
A VOR/TACAN control unit is installed on the instrument panel of each pilot station. The
control unit L.H. part includes controls relating to the VOR/ILS assembly:
- A concentric knob enables with the first crown to start the receiver, and with the second
crown the lighting and the digit test
- Two concentric control knobs display the frequencies in tens, unit, tenth and hundredth of
MHz;
- A window shows the selected frequency;
- A test control enables a VOR/ILS operation simulation (call sign, course to the left and to the
right, and so on);
- A blue indicator light located on central instrument panels and supplied at front and rear
stations comes on after the ILS frequency has been displayed. The localizer is then
operating whatever the position of the VOR/TAC selector may be.
NOTE 1
THE "TEST" FUNCTION CAN BE ACTIVATED ONLY FROM THE
FRONT COCKPIT.

NOTE 2
ONLY ONE VOR CONTROL UNIT OPERATES AT ONCE. ITS
STARTING IS OBTAINED BY PRESSING ON THE
"TRANSFERT" PUSH-KNOB OF THE CONCERNED COCKPIT,
WHAT CAUSES ILLUMINATION OF THE CORRESPONDING
GREEN INDICATOR LIGHT. THE CONTROL LOSS WILL BE
INDICATED BY THE EXTINGUISHING OF THIS INDICATOR
LIGHT.

The TACAN transceiver is installed in the electronics compartment.
The assembly has 126 X channels and 126 Y channels to which UHF frequencies are
allocated and defined in the range of 962 MHz to 1213 MHz for questions and answers.
The TACAN information is distributed to:
- The RMIs;
- The interphone assembly, which relays the station call sign (1350 Hz);
- The DMEs;
- The VOR/TACAN switching unit.
To avoid interferences between TACAN and transponder, when one of these systems
transmits, a cancelling pulse inhibits the second one.
The transceiver is provided with an integrated test, which is started from the control unit.

B. CONTROL UNIT
A VOR/TACAN control unit is installed on the instrument panel of each pilot station.
The unit R.H. part includes controls relating to the TACAN assembly:

MARKER panels and through aural indications to the headsets without having the possibility to
adjust the reception level. It works in the VHF frequency range.

C. MARKER ANTENNA
The MARKER antenna is located under the fuselage and shifted to the left.
It transmits to the MARKER receiver the signals received from the ground beacons.

6 TRANSPONDER ASSEMBLY (figure page 1/101)

A. TRANSPONDER
The transponder is installed on the front station instrument panel strip.
This equipment is not connected to a control unit, as its front face serves the function.
The assembly operates in connection with the encoding altimeter (front station) and the
TACAN (converse desensitization).
The number of answer codes is 4096 in "A" mode + 1 identification code.
The transponder receives inquiries from the ground identification system ("A" or "C" mode),
decodes them and answers them.
The coded answers are as follows:
- "A" mode (to ON position);
- "A" and "C" modes by switching the "ALT" function;
- "A" mode set to "IDENT"
Particular circuits ensure:
- The cancellation of incorrect impulses and inquiries,
- The limitation of the number of the answers for a too high inquiry number.
- The correct operation test in self-test.
To avoid converse interferences, a desensitization impulse (pulse cancellation) is directed to
the TACAN transceiver during the transponder transmission or received by the transponder,
when the TACAN transmits.
The transponder front face presents:
- A starting and mode selection knob:
."OFF" : Stop
."SBY" : This is a stand-by position (the transponder is energized, but not operating)
."ON" : Position selected after display of the required identification code
."ALT" : Position switched on ground control request. This position enables to
transmit the identification code and the aircraft altitude.
- Four knobs to display the code;
- A display window for the code;
- A switch with return device to middle position:
."TEST" : check of power supplies
."IDENT" : use only on ground control request
- "TEST" indicator light, which comes on when the transponder is operating in "NORM" or
"IDENT".

CANOPIES

The canopy assembly breaks down in three parts:


- The windshield;
- The front canopy;
- The rear canopy.

1 WINDSHIELD
The windshield is constituted of a metallic structure and a plexiglass.
The assembly is articulated on the left with a hinge, locked on the right by a mechanism, which is
attached under the fuselage upper spar and controlled from the front pilot station.
A door protects the control. A canopy stay system is attached on the R.H. lower part.

2 CANOPIES
The front and rear canopies are constituted of plexiglass convex panels mounted in a metallic
frame, which is equipped with a cut-away pyrotechnic system.
The assembly moves on two rails thanks to four rollers for the front canopy and six rollers for the
rear canopy.
Two internal handles are installed on the forward former of each canopy. Two additional handles
are installed on the central former of the rear canopy. An attachment fitting for the locking of the
canopy stay system is located at the bottom on the right side of the front canopy.
The front canopy locking against the windshield is performed by two side catches in which enter
the windshield locking pins. The rear canopy locking against the front canopy is identical.
A dual visualization system consists in the "CABINE" indicator lights located on the warning light
panels and in the alignment of the locking white marks located on the canopies and on the frame. It
warrants the correct locking and the canopies locked position.
NOTE
THE LOCKING IS CONTROLLED INSIDE BY A HANDLE
LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF EACH CANOPY ON THE
FRONT FORMER, AND FROM OUTSIDE BY A RETRACTABLE
HANDLE LOCATED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CANOPIES.

WARNING
EACH PILOT STATION IS PROVIDED WITH A JETTISONING
INDIVIDUAL HANDLE LOCATED ON THE LEFT. THIS HANDLE
ACTIVATES THE PYROTECHNIC CUT-AWAY OF THE
CORRESPONDING CANOPY

1
Page 117
2001-05 Update
UCE122

The safety of the pyrotechnic system on ground is ensured by two safety pins, which lock the
internal control handles, and by a protecting plexiglass to be broken for the external rings. For
maintenance operation, two additional safety pins secure directly the striking pins. They are located
outside the aircraft, on the left side (figure page 1/119).
Check of the catching and the locking of the front and rear canopies:
- Lock imperatively in order the front, then the rear canopy.
- Check that the "CABINE" indicator light is OFF.
- Check the alignment of the closing white marks on the left and on the right side at front and rear
seats.

- A "PANNE" warning light.

1 STALL AND LANDING GEAR WARNINGS


This system mainly consists of:
- An alarm box;
- A stall sensor;
- A "TRAIN" warning light;
- A "TEST" push-knob.
A. STALL AND LANDING GEAR ALARM BOX
This box is installed in the rear pilot station on R.H. console.
This box delivers:
- An aural signal (900 Hz), when the landing gear is not locked down, while the flaps are
extended to a position greater than or equal to 20°;
- An aural signal (600 Hz), when the aircraft is nearly stalling;
- A 2-Hz flash of the "TRAIN" red warning light, when the landing gear is not locked down and
the throttle lever in idle position.
A test system enables to simulate these conditions.

B. STALL SENSOR
A vane located on the R.H. leading edge responds to the air flow. When the aircraft is nearly
stalling, the vane acts on a microswitch which activates the alarm in the box.
NOTE
IF THE VANE IS ACTUATED ON GROUND, THE 600-HZ AURAL
SIGNAL IS HEARD IN THE PILOT HEADSET.

C. "TRAIN" WARNING LIGHT


A "TRAIN" red warning light is installed at each pilot station above the landing gear control
lever.
It flashes at the 2-Hz frequency when the landing gear is not locked down and the throttle
lever in idle position.

D. "TEST" PUSH-KNOB
A "TEST" push-knob located on each pilot station flaps and landing gears configuration unit
enables to check the landing gear indicator lights and the alarms:
- The "TRAIN" red warning lights flash at the 2-Hz frequency;
- If the flaps are extended to a position greater than 20°, the 900-Hz aural signal is heard in
the headset;
- The landing gear indicator lights come on.

STALLS
During deceleration before stall, the aircraft stays perfectly correct whatever the configuration.
There is no natural warning sign.
Only the aural warning rings, 7 kt ± 2 kt above stall speed.
The longitudinal roll-off is clean and accompanied more often than not by a lateral roll-off. Their
amplitude increases with engine power and lift augmenting.
The recovery is immediate by control return.
The altitude loss during stall is slight.

NOTE
ROLL-OFFS UP TO 90° LATERAL BANK MAY OCCUR
PARTICULARLY FROM A MOTORIZED TURN STALL WITH
FLAPS TO 25°.

VOLUNTARY SPINS
Only spins in clean configuration with reduced engine are authorized.
Preparation to spin :
- Bags and map boxes closed.
- No floating objects in cabin.
- Minimum height (4 turns max) .........................................................................................8000 ft
- Safety turn............................................................................................................... Performed
- Throttle lever.......................................................................................................................Idle
- L/G – flaps................................................................................................................ Retracted
- Trims..................................................................................................Adjusted for IAS = 100 kt
- Deceleration.
Spinning (in the direction of safety turn)
At IAS = 75 kt, fully move simultaneously rudder in the direction of the spin, elevator to nose up
stop and keep roll control to neutral position.
Spin :
- Spin oscillates on the three axis.
- The nose down attitude increases quickly to reach about 50°.
- The turn lasts between 2 and 3 seconds with two pilots and less with one pilot onboard.
- The altitude loss is about 350 ft every turn.
- IAS changes from about 110 to 140 kt in accordance with spin particularities.

NOTE 1
SPINS ARE LIMITED TO 4 TURNS MAXIMUM BECAUSE THE OIL PRESSURE
DROPS QUICKLY PARTICULARLY DURING RIGHT SPIN. THE “BAS NIVEAU”
WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATION IS NORMAL DURING SPIN.

NOTE 2
IF SPEED AND ENGINE RPM INCREASE RAPIDLY, THE AIRCRAFT IS NOT IN SPIN
BUT IN SPIRAL. CONTROL SPIN RECOVERY BEFORE 160 kt.

Spin recovery
- Rudder .................................................................................. Fully opposite direction of rotation
- Elevator........................................................................................................................ Neutral
- Aileron.......................................................................................................................... Neutral
5
Page 3
2001-05 Update
UCE122

The spin recovery takes a maximum of one turn and a half and usually follows a roll acceleration.
The attitude is then high nose down. The slowest the spin is, the longest the recovery.
As soon as spinning stops, move rudder to neutral position and ease out of the ensuing dive (500
to 1500 ft according to action on elevator).

CAUTION
IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT ABOUT THE SPIN (VENTRAL,
INVERTED, ROTATION DIRECTION), CLEARLY RELEASE
CONTROLS AND FULLY REDUCE THROTTLE, THE AIRCRAFT
WILL RECOVER ALONE IN ABOUT TWO OR FOUR TURNS.

WARNING
AIRCRAFT UNCONTROLLED AT 5000 ft FROM GROUND,
ESCAPE IN FLIGHT.

ACROBATICS
Speeds and load factors indicated hereafter are initial values recommended to execute acrobatic
figures at an altitude between 4000 and 6000 ft, with full throttle engine, engine speed at
2500 tr/mn and full forward mixture.
- Loop : IAS = 200 kt, n = 4 g
- Split S : IAS = 180 kt, n = 3 g
- Cuban Eight : IAS = 200 kt, n = 4 g
- Stall turn : IAS = 200 kt, n = 4 g
- Slow roll : IAS = 170 kt
- Snap figures : FORBIDDEN

FORMATION FLIGHT
Formation flight with EPSILON presents no particular difficulty.
The engine responds quickly. Flight controls are precise and, considering the great efficiency of
rudder control, great amplitude deflections must be avoided to control side-slip. Do not connect the
anti-collision lights.
Display 2700 tr/mn to use power higher than 75 %.

BLIND FLIGHT
On ground, pay particular attention to checks concerning flight and navigation control instruments.
In flight, often check the consistency of attitude indicators, voltmeter and outside air temperature
indicator (icing).
Anti-collision lights may be troublesome in clouds.

NIGHT FLIGHT
It is recommended not to illuminate anti-collision lights during taxi.

OPERATION IN THE RAIN


On ground, on soaked taxi paths and runways, use brakes carefully.
In flight, monitor icing possibility.
During landing, aquaplaning speed is about 40 kt; wait, if possible, a lower speed to brake
carefully.

5
Page 4
2002-12 Update
UCE122

TURBULENCE FLIGHT
Max. IAS in severe turbulence: 150 kt.
If entering a very strong turbulence area cannot be avoided, take the following precautions:
- Reduce speed to 150 kt;
- Check harnesses are tightened and blocked;
- Check pitot heating is set to “marche”;
- Pilot smoothly by favouring attitude rather than flight parameters.

OPERATION IN VERY COLD WEATHER


The following precautions must be taken:
- Open canopies carefully because the seal may be stuck;
- To spare battery, the use of a ground power unit is recommended to start the engine. This
recommendation becomes mandatory when outside air temperature is below – 15 °C;
- Position the heating/ventilation selector to full warm, full flow directed to windshield;
- Before taxi, make sure instruments have been heated enough to operate correctly;
- During taxi, maneuver twice or three times flight controls and flaps;
- Use engine emergency air.

UTILIZATION ON MAKESHIFT FIELD


- The frequent utilization of grass runway is not advisable.
- Only an occasional utilization on grass runway is allowed, if runway is in good condition, dry,
without stones and is 800 m minimum long.
- The utilization on a wet grass runway is forbidden except in case of emergency landing.
- Under all circumstances, taxi at moderate speed.

CAUTION
ON GRASS RUNWAY, TAKEOFF DISTANCE IS INCREASED

WEIGHT AND BALANCE

DETERMINING WEIGHT AND BALANCE


This chapter gives the pilot a simple means to determine weight and balance of his aircraft
depending on empty characteristics and loading.
The empty weight to be considered is the one indicated on Individual Inspection Report, eventually
amended depending on modifications applied on the aircraft.
To determine the aircraft weight W, only add loading (pilots, fuel, cargo compartment loading) to
the empty weight.
To determine the balance :
- calculate the moments of the various loads with regard to leading edge of reference chord, using
the diagrams on pages 6/3, 6/5 ;
- add these various moments to empty aircraft moment. The result is called Mt ;
- calculate the balance with the formula :
Mt 100
C% = x
W 1,25
The weight and balance values calcutated this way and noted on diagram page 6/5 (acrobatic
mission) or diagram page 6/3 (ferry mission) must give a point inside the area delimited by a thick
line.

PERFORMANCE

PERFORMANCE PRESENTATION

Generally all performance are given in standard atmosphere.


However, when it is necessary, corrections to be brought for non-standard temperatures are
indicated on illustrations.
Each graph includes an operation example.
This chapter contains nominal performance of EPSILON aircraft equipped with AEI0-540-L1B5D
engine and HARTZELL HC-C2YR-4 CF-FC 8475-6 propeller. Performance values given do not
take into account factors such as pilot’s technique and aircraft ageing.

AERODYNAMIC SPEED CALCULATION

The illustration on page 7/7 allows, from the calibrated airspeed CAS, static temperature θs and
pressure altitude Zp, determination of the aerodynamic speed V (true airspeed).

AIR DATA CORRECTIONS

Air data corrections relative to EPSILON are practically nil (illustration on page 7/9).

STALL SPEEDS

The stall speeds indicated on illustration of page 7/11 are statutory stall speeds (Vs) determined
with reduced power, with forward C.G. limit and deceleration rate of 1 kt/s. They are given
depending on weight, aircraft configuration and pitch attitude.

TAKEOFF PERFORMANCE

Takeoff is performed full throttle, full low pitch, full rich, in flaps configuration 15°.
The initial parameters to establish performance are:
- Outside conditions: QFE and air temperature;
- Aircraft weight;
- Wind speed on runway centerline;
- Runway average slope.
The illustration on page 7/13 gives:
- Ground roll length;
- Takeoff distance to 50 ft obstacle clearance;
- Rotation calibrated airspeed, takeoff and obstacle clearance speed.
The used procedure is the following:
- Full throttle, brakes applied;
- Rotation and obstacle clearance to speeds indicated on graph shown on the same figure,
depending on weights;
- Starting of L/G retraction as soon as the vertical speed indicator gives a clearly positive value;
- L/G retraction duration: 9 seconds

NOTE
ACCELERATION/STOP DISTANCE IS 600 m.

Page 3
2001-05 Update
UCE122

CLIMB PERFORMANCE

Climbs are performed full throttle, full low pitch, full rich, with nil slope and side-slip, for a
CAS = 110 kt and in clean configuration.
The initial parameters are:
- Aircraft weight;
- Beginning of climb pressure altitude;
- End of climb pressure altitude.
The illustration on page 7/15 gives:
- Time, distance and consumption in standard atmosphere;
- The possibility to correct these results depending on deviation from standard air temperature.

CRUISE PERFORMANCE

Cruise performance (speed, consumption, distance, time) are given for two associated settings:
power (MaP, N) and mixture.
Performance curves: 75 % normal cruise (illustration on page 7/17)
Power: 75 % (2450 tr/mn, adapted MaP).
Mixture: best power (EGT peak – 70 °C);
The setting given by the automatic mixture control is close to this EGT value.
The curve is calculated for an accurate setting. In order to observe the calculated consumption, a
slight setting of the mixture lever may be necessary.
Performance curves: 60 % economic cruise (illustration on page 7/19)
Power: 60 % (2350 tr/mn, adapted MaP);
Mixture: manually set to EGT peak.

CAUTION
MIXTURE SETTING BEYOND EGT PEAK IS FORBIDDEN.
Mixture setting
In cruise, the pilot may set the mixture to improve his aircraft distance/consumption if the following
conditions are met:
- Displayed power ≤ 75 %.
- Cruise stabilized and constant Z.

NOTE
FOR A GIVEN SETTING (N, MaP), A MIXTURE DECREASE
COMPARED WITH THE BEST POWER ONE (EGT PEAK – 70 °C,
CLOSE TO AUTOMATIC SETTING) DECREASES THE POWER
ACTUALLY DELIVERED BY THE ENGINE.

PRINCIPLE
With constant N and MaP, at constant Z the pilot weakens the mixture with mixture lever.
The EGT indicator gives an exhaust gas temperature directly bound with the inlet mixture.
The mixture lever controls fuel supply.
The EGT is taken at exhaust gas outlet.
There is a great inertia between the lever movement and the EGT temperature modification.

PRACTICES
With constant N, MaP and Z:
- Displayed power ≤ 75 %.
- Note the EGT initial value with the indicator.
- Slowly weaken, by steps to EGT maximum value.
- Note this stabilized value with the indicator.
- Re-enrich to get the desired flow value.
Example: re-enrich to get a flow which exactly gives EGT peak – 70°C to fly depending on curve
parameters (illustration on page 7/17).

NOTE
THE EGT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEGINNING OF SETTING
AND PEAK IS ABOUT 70°C TO 110°C. IT DEPENDS AMONG
OTHER THINGS ON ENGINE MECHANICAL SETTING AND
MIXTURE AUTOMATIC CORRECTION.
AT EGT PEAK – 70°C THE POWER LEVER IS SET TO FULL
FORWARD POSITION.

An EGT difference lower than 70°C, with mixture lever set to full forward position, may be the sign
of a mixture automatic correction bad operation or a bad engine setting.
CAUTION
PRIOR TO ANY CHANGE IN FLIGHT PARAMETERS N, MaP, Z ,
SET THE MIXTURE LEVER TO FULL FORWARD POSITION.

ADVICE
Avoid the utilization of maximum lean setting (EGT peak) in normal flight.

MAXIMUM RANGE AND HOLDING FLIGHT PERFORMANCE

The holding flight is performed with engine constant parameters.


The engine parameters are the following:
- Engine speed: 2500 tr/mn;
- MaP: 550 mbar;
- Mixture: full rich.
The initial parameters are:
- Aircraft weight;
- Pressure altitude.
The illustration on page 7/21 gives:
- Speed;
- Hourly consumption.

LANDING PERFORMANCE

The engine parameters, to establish these performance, are the following:


- Outside conditions: QFE and air temperature;
- Aircraft weight;
- Wind speed on runway centerline;
- Runway average slope.
The illustration on page 7/23 gives:
- Ground roll length;
- Landing distance from 50 ft obstacle clearance to aircraft stop.
These performance are established on dry, hard surface runway, with approach and touch-down
impact speeds, depending on aircraft weight, given by the graph on this same figure.
