HISTORICAL DETAILS
INTRODUCTION
Originally envisioned in 1964, the initial 737-100 flew in 1967 and entered airline
service in February 1968. Next the lengthened 737-200 entered service in April 1968.
In the 1980s Boeing launched the -300, -400, and -500 models, subsequently referred
to as the Boeing 737 Classic series. The 737 Classics added capacity and incorporated
CFM56 turbofan engines along with wing improvements. In the 1990s Boeing
introduced the 737 Next Generation with multiple changes including a redesigned
wing, upgraded cockpit, and new interior. The 737 Next Generation comprises the
four -600, -700, -800, and -900ER models, ranging from 102 ft (31.09 m) to 138 ft
(42.06 m) in length. Boeing Business Jet versions of the 737 Next Generation are
also produced.
The 737 series is the best-selling jet airliner in the history of aviation. The 737 has
been continuously manufactured by Boeing since 1967 with 7,457 aircraft delivered
and 3,044 orders yet to be fulfilled as of January 2013. 737 assembly is centred at the
Boeing Renton Factory in Renton, Washington. Many 737s serve markets previously
filled by 707, 727, 757, DC-9, and MD-80/MD-90 airliners, and the aircraft currently
competes primarily with the Airbus A320 family. There are, on average, 1,250 Boeing
737s airborne at any given time, with two departing or landing somewhere every five
seconds.
The CFM56-3B-1 high-bypass turbofan engine was chosen to power the aircraft, After the introduction of the -600/700/800/900 series, the -300/400/500 series was

the wing span by 1 ft 9 in (53 cm). The leading-edge slats and trailing-edge flaps
were adjusted. The flight deck was improved with the optional EFIS (Electronic Flight
Instrumentation System), and the passenger cabin incorporated improvements similar
to those developed on the Boeing 757. The prototype -300, the 1,001st 737 built, first
flew on 24 February 1984 with pilot Jim McRoberts. It and two production aircraft flew
a nine-month-long certification program.
In June 1986, Boeing announced the development of the 737-400, which stretched
the fuselage a further 10 ft (3.0 m), increasing the passenger load to 170. The -400s

NEXT-GENERATION MODELS stages. In 2010, new interior options for the 737NG included the 787-style Boeing
Sky Interior.
Prompted by the modern Airbus A320, Boeing initiated development of an updated
series of aircraft in 1991. After working with potential customers, the 737 Next Boeing delivered the 5,000th 737 to Southwest Airlines on February 13, 2006. Boeing

New, quieter, more fuel-efficient CFM56-7B engines were used. The wing, engine, and
fuel capacity improvements combined increase the 737s range by 900 nautical miles
to over 3,000 nautical miles (5,600 km), now permitting transcontinental service. With
the increased fuel capacity, higher maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) specifications
are offered.
The 737NG included redesigned vertical stabilizers, and winglets were available on
most models. The flight deck was upgraded with modern avionics, and passenger cabin
improvements similar to those on the Boeing 777, including more curved surfaces
and larger overhead bins than previous-generation 737s. The Next Generation 737
interior was also adopted on the Boeing 757-300.
The first NG to roll out was a -700, on December 8, 1996. This aircraft, the 2,843rd
737 built, first flew on February 9, 1997. The prototype -800 rolled out on June 30,
1997 and first flew on July 31, 1997. The smallest of the new variants, the -600s, is
the same size as the -500. It was the last in this series to launch, in December 1997.

ENGINES
Engines on the 737 Classic series (300, 400, 500) and Next-Generation series (600,
700, 800, 900) do not have circular inlets like most aircraft. The 737 Classic series
featured CFM56 turbofan engines, which yielded significant gains in fuel economy
and a reduction in noise over the JT8D engines used on the -100 and -200, but also
posed an engineering challenge given the low ground clearance of the 737. Boeing
and engine supplier CFMI solved the problem by placing the engine ahead of (rather
than below) the wing, and by moving engine accessories to the sides (rather than the
bottom) of the engine pod, giving the 737 a distinctive non-circular air intake.
The wing also incorporated a number of changes for improved aerodynamics. The
engines’ accessory gearbox was moved from the 6 o’clock position under the engine to
the 4 o’clock position (from a front/forward looking aft perspective). This side-mounted
gearbox gives the engine a somewhat triangular rounded shape. Because the engine
is close to the ground, 737-300s and later models are more prone to engine foreign-
object damage (FOD). The improved CFM56-7 turbofan engine on the 737 Next
Generation is 7% more fuel-efficient than the previous CFM56-3 in the 737 classics.
The newest 737 variants, the 737 MAX family, are to feature CFM International LEAP-
1B engines with a 1.73 m fan diameter. These engines are expected to be 10-12%
more efficient than the CFM56-7B engines on the 737 Next Generation family.

FLIGHT SYSTEMS
The primary flight controls are intrinsically safe. In the event of total hydraulic system
failure or double engine failure, they will automatically and seamlessly revert to control
via servo tab. In this mode, the servo tabs aerodynamically control the elevators and
ailerons; these servo tabs are in turn controlled by cables running to the control yoke.
The pilot’s muscle forces alone control the tabs. The 737 is the only currently-produced
passenger aircraft this size or larger that can operate completely without hydraulics.
For the 737 Next Generation, a six-screen LCD glass cockpit with modern avionics
was implemented while retaining crew commonality with previous generation 737.
Most 737 cockpits are equipped with “eyebrow windows” positioned above the main
glareshield. Eyebrow windows were a feature of the original 707. They allowed
for greater visibility in turns, and offered better sky views if navigating by stars.
With modern avionics, they became redundant, and many pilots actually placed
newspapers or other objects in them to block out sun glare. They were eliminated from
the 737 cockpit design in 2004, although they are still installed in military variants and
at customer request. These windows are sometimes removed and plugged, usually
during maintenance overhauls, and can be distinguished by the metal plug which
differs from the smooth metal in later aircraft that were not originally fitted with the
windows.

VARIANTS
The 737 models can be divided into three generations, including nine major variants.
The “Original” models consist of the 737-100, 737-200/-200 Advanced. The “Classic”
models consist of the 737-300, 737-400, and 737-500. The “Next Generation” variants
consist of the 737-600, 737-700/-700ER, 737-800, and 737-900/-900ER. Of these
nine variants, many feature additional versions such as the T-43, which is a modified
Boeing 737-200 used by the United States Air Force (USAF).
The fourth generation derivative - the 737 MAX - is currently under development and
will encompass the 737-MAX-7, 737-MAX-8, and 737-MAX-9 which will replace the
-700, -800 and -900/900ER versions of the NG family, respectively.

737-100
The initial model was the 737-100. It was launched in 1968. The -100 was rolled
out on January 17, 1967 and entered service with Lufthansa in 1968. The aircraft is
the smallest variant of the 737. Only 30 737-100s were ordered and delivered, and
no 737-100s remain in service today. The original Boeing prototype, last operated
by NASA and retired more than 30 years after its maiden flight, is on exhibit in the
Museum of Flight in Seattle.

others. The variant was in use by Bahamasair in the Bahamas for 36 years before
737-200 being replaced by a 737-500 in 2012.
With a gravel-kit modification the 737-200 can use unimproved or unpaved landing
strips, such as gravel runways that other similarly-sized jet aircraft cannot. Gravel-
kitted 737-200 Combis are currently used by Canadian North, First Air, Air Inuit and
Air North in northern Canada. For many years, Alaska Airlines made use of gravel-
kitted 737-200s to serve Alaska’s many unimproved runways across the state.
Nineteen 737-200s were used to train aircraft navigators for the US Air Force,
designated T-43. Some were modified into CT-43s, which are used to transport
passengers, and one was modified as the NT-43A Radar Test Bed. The first was
delivered on July 31, 1973 and the last on July 19, 1974.

OPERATORS
The 737 is operated by more than 500 airlines, flying to 1,200 destinations in 190
countries. With over 10,000 aircraft ordered, over 7,000 delivered, and over 4,500
still in service, at any given time there are on average 1,250 airborne worldwide. On
average, somewhere in the world, a 737 takes off or lands every five seconds. Since
entering service in 1968, the 737 has carried over 12 billion passengers over 120
billion km (65 billion nm), and has accumulated more than 296 million hours in the
air. The 737 represents more than 25% of the worldwide fleet of large commercial jet
airliners.
INTRODUCTION
The Boeing 737 Classic is the -300/-400/-500 series of the Boeing 737, so named
following the introduction of the -600/-700/-800/-900 series. They are short to medium
range, narrow-body jet airliners produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
The Classic series was introduced as the ‘new generation’ of the 737-100/200 series
aircraft. Produced from 1984 to 2000, 1,989 aircraft were delivered.
INTRODUCTION
Following the success of the Boeing 737-200 Advanced, Boeing wanted to increase
capacity and range, incorporating improvements to upgrade the plane to modern
specifications, while also retaining commonality with previous 737 variants.
The new series featured CFM56 turbofan engines, yielding significant gains in fuel
economy and a reduction in noise, but also posing an engineering challenge given
the low ground clearance of the 737. Boeing and engine supplier CFMI solved the
problem by placing the engine ahead of (rather than below) the wing, and by moving
engine accessories to the sides (rather than the bottom) of the engine pod, giving the
737 a distinctive non-circular air intake.
The wing incorporated a number of changes for improved aerodynamics. The wing
tip was extended 9 inches (23 cm). The leading-edge slots and trailing-edge flaps
were adjusted. The flight deck was improved with the optional EFIS (Electronic Flight
Instrumentation System), and the passenger cabin incorporated improvements similar
to those on the Boeing 757.

737-300
The prototype of the -300 rolled out of the Renton plant on January 17, 1984, and
first flew on 24 February 1984. After it received its flight certification on November 14,
1984, USAir received the first aircraft on 28 November. A very popular aircraft, Boeing
received 252 orders for it in 1985, and over 1000 throughout its production.
The 300 series remained in production until 1999 when the last aircraft was delivered
to Air New Zealand on 17 December 1999, registration ZK-NGJ.
In December 2008, Southwest Airlines selected Boeing to retrofit the 737-300 with a
new set of instruments, hardware and software, in order to improve commonality with
the 737-700, as well as to support the Required Navigation Performance initiative.
The 737-300 can be retrofitted with Aviation Partners Boeing winglets. The 737-300
retrofitted with winglets is designated the -300SP (Special Performance).
Used passenger -300 aircraft have also been converted to freighter versions. The
737-300 is now replaced by the 737-700 in the Boeing 737 Next Generation family.

737-400
The 737-400 design was launched in 1985 to fill the gap between the 737-300 and
the 757-200, and competed with the Airbus A320 and McDonnell Douglas MD-80.
It stretched the 737-300 another 10 ft (3.45 m) to carry up to 168 passengers. It
included a tail bumper to prevent tail scrapes during take-off (an early issue with the
757), and a strengthened wing spar. The prototype rolled out on January 26, 1988,
and fl ew for the fi rst time on 19 February 1988.
The aircraft entered service on September 15, 1988, with launch customer Piedmont
Airlines (25 aircraft ordered).
The 737-400F was not a model delivered by Boeing but a converted 737-400 to
an all cargo aircraft. Alaska Airlines was the first to convert one of their 400s from
regular service to an aircraft with the ability to handle 10 pallets. The airline has also
converted five more into fixed combi aircraft for half passenger and freight. These
737-400 Combi aircraft are now in service. The 737-400 is now replaced by the 737-
800 in the Boeing 737 Next Generation family.

737-500
The -500 series was offered, due to customer demand, as a modern and direct
replacement of the 737-200, incorporating the improvements of the 737 Classic series
in a model that allowed longer routes with fewer passengers to be more economical
than with the 737-300.
The fuselage length of the -500 is 1 ft 7 in (47 cm) longer than the 737-200,
accommodating up to 132 passengers. Both glass and older style mechanical cockpits
arrangements were available. Using the CFM56-3 engine also gave a 25% increase in
fuel efficiency over the older -200s P&W engines.
The 737-500 was launched in 1987, by Southwest Airlines, with an order for 20
aircraft, and flew for the first time on 30 June 1989.
A single prototype flew 375 hours for the certification process, and on February 28,
1990 Southwest Airlines received the first delivery.
The 737-500 has become a favourite of some Russian airlines, with Nordavia, Rossiya
Airlines, S7 Airlines, Sky Express, Transaero, and Yamal Airlines all buying second-
hand models of the aircraft to replace aging Soviet-built aircraft and/or expand their
fleets. Aerolíneas Argentinas is replacing its 737-200s with second-hand 737-500s.
The 737-500 is now replaced by the 737-600 in the Boeing 737 Next Generation
family. However, unlike the 737-500, the 737-600 has been a slow seller for Boeing
since its introduction, with only 69 aircraft delivered.

COOLING
The ram air inlet modulation panels have two panel sections. The forward end of the
forward panel is hinged to structure and its aft end is hinged to the forward end of the
aft panel section. The aft end of the aft panel section has rollers in tracks that allow
movement forward and aft. Two cranks with rollers attached move the forward end of
the aft panel inboard or outboard to open or close the inlet. The cranks attach to a
shaft which is operated by the ram air actuator through a cable system.
The deflector door is hinged at its forward edge to aircraft structure and is shaped to
be flush in the inlet when retracted. This prevents interference with ram airflow into
the ram air ducts. A mechanical linkage connected to the modulation panel cable
system causes the deflector door to be extended when the aircraft is on the ground.
The deflector door decreases the possibility of foreign material entering the ram air
system when the aircraft is on the ground.

PRESSURIZATION CONTROL
INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The aircraft operates at altitudes where the oxygen density is not sufficient to sustain
life. The pressurization control system keeps the aircraft cabin interior at a safe
altitude. This protects the passengers and crew from the effects of hypoxia (oxygen
starvation).
PRESSURIZATION CONTROL The cabin pressure indication and warning system gives you data about the
pressurization system status.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION This system has these components:
The air conditioning packs force air into the aircraft pressure vessel (cabin). • Cabin altitude panel.
Pressurization control maintains a safe cabin altitude. • Aural warning module.
The cabin pressure control system controls the rate that the air flows out of the cabin.
The cabin pressure relief system is a fail safe system. It protects the aircraft structure
from overpressure and negative pressure if the pressurization control system fails.
PRESSURIZATION CONTROL The 10,000 FT cabin altitude warning switch is on the ceiling of the forward EE
compartment.
COMPONENT LOCATIONS
The pressurization control system components are in these areas of the aircraft:
• Flight compartment.
• EE compartment.
• Forward EE compartment.
• Section 47.

AIR/GROUND SENSING
The ground sensing relay on the E11 landing gear logic shelf supplies a signal to the
controller that shows if the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. This signal is used for
takeoff and landing events.
In STANDBY mode, the ADC sends ambient pressure data to the pressure controller.
During the AUTO mode, the auxiliary static system sends ambient pressure data to
the pressure controller.
PRESSURIZATION CONTROL
PURPOSE
The cabin pressure control module and the cabin altitude panel let the crew monitor
and control the pressurization system.

FLT/GRD SWITCH
The FLT/GRD switch is a 2-position toggle switch used to get ground pressurized and
ground un-pressurized operation in the AUTO, STANDBY, and CHECK modes.
The adjustments are from 0 to 40,000 feet in 100 foot increments. You must push and
turn to input the correct flight altitude. The altitude set in the FLT ALT display arms the
cabin dual Delta P module. This controls cabin pressure to 7.5 psid when the display
is below 28,000 feet or, 7.8 psid when the display is 28,000 feet or higher.
The adjustments are from -990 to 13,990 feet. When altitudes are set below sea level,
the large knob sets a minus sign in the 1,000 foot column. When altitudes are set

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The valve is a thrust recovery gate valve that turns. A rotary DC electrical actuator or
a rotary AC electrical actuator moves the valve. Each actuator connects to the gate
shaft with an electrically operated spring-loaded clutch.
MANUAL modes operate the DC actuator in DC MAN mode and the AC actuator in
AC MAN mode. When one or the other actuator is in operation, the clutch to the other
actuator disengages.
PRESSURIZATION CONTROL
AUTO FAIL
PURPOSE
The amber AUTO FAIL light gives the flight crew indication that the AUTO mode is
inoperative.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
These three conditions cause the AUTO FAIL light to come on:
When a low voltage condition occurs, the AUTO FAIL light comes on and the outflow
valve will lock in position. If the voltage does not return to normal within 14.9 seconds,
the pressurization control transfers to the STANDBY mode and the STANDBY light
comes on.
To turn out the AUTO FAIL light, you must put the mode selector in the STANDBY
position.
INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The electrical power system generates, supplies and controls electrical power. The
system has automatic and manual control features. Built-in test equipment BITE) and
alternate source selection make the system reliable and easy to maintain.
• Generator drive.
• AC generation.
• DC generation.
• External power.
• Standby power.
• Electrical power indication.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The electrical power is obtained from the battery, generators, and ground support
equipment. It is controlled and monitored prior to distribution. Systems that use
electrical power receive 28V DC, 28V AC, and 115V AC power.
The alternating current power is supplied by two engine-driven generators for normal
flight operation. A generator, driven by the APU, can also supply power on the ground
or in flight. Power can be supplied on the ground through the external power receptacle.
The direct current power is supplied from the battery or conversion from the AC power.
The AC and DC power is distributed to the various systems through the left and right
load control centres (panels) in the flight compartment.
The control and indication of the electrical power system is from the P5 forward
overhead panel in the flight compartment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The electrical systems panels are on the P5 forward overhead panel. These are the
panels:
These panels have switches, indicating lights, and indicators for monitor, control, and
protection of AC and DC electrical power systems.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PURPOSE
The electrical power AC distribution system provides power for the various aircraft
systems.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The electrical power system is a split non-paralleling system. It consists of the left
(number 1) and right (number 2) sides. The application of power to the left and right
sides follows these rules:
Power is supplied to the two generator buses. The connections between the power
sources and buses are through these components:
External power can be supplied to the external power bus and the ground service bus.
The ground service bus is normally powered from the left generator bus.
DC DISTRIBUTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PURPOSE
The electrical power DC distribution system gives power for the different aircraft
systems.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
When there is AC power on the buses, DC power is from three transformer rectifier
units, TR 1, TR 2, and TR 3. TR 1 and TR 2 receive 115V AC from the two transfer
buses and supply DC power to DC bus 1 and DC bus 2.
TR 3 receives power from the main bus 2 and supplies the battery bus. TR 3 is also a
backup for TR 1 and TR 2.
The battery charger receives 115V AC from the ground service bus or as an alternative
from main bus 2.
The AC standby bus normally gets power from transfer bus 1 and the DC standby
bus from DC bus 1. If the normal power is not available, the battery supplies power
to the AC standby bus through the inverter. The DC standby bus gets power from the
battery bus.
Power from an external DC receptacle can start the APU if the battery voltage is low.
INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The generator drive makes three phase 115/200V AC, 400 Hz power for use by the
electrical power system.
GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The engine generator drive is a constant speed drive (CSD). It converts the variable
speed of the engine (accessory gearbox) to a constant speed for the generator. The
constant speed is 6000 rpm. This produces alternating current at a constant frequency.
LOCATION
The constant speed drive mounts to the engine accessory gearbox. It is on the left
side of the engine.
PURPOSE
The generator drive and standby power control panel does these functions:
• Gives the flight crew indication of the generator drive (CSD) status.
• Allows isolation of the generator drive (CSD).
LOCATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The panel has control and indication circuitry for the left and right constant speed
drives.
• LOW OIL PRESSURE amber light - comes on if CSD has low oil pressure.
• HIGH OIL TEMP amber light - comes on if CSD has high oil temperature.
• Generator drive oil temperature indicator – shows the oil temperature rise in
the (SD and the inlet oil temperature.
• Drive temperature selector switch - lets the temperature indicator read rise or
inlet temperature.
• Disconnect switch (guarded) - allows disconnect of the (SD from the accessory
gearbox.
COMPONENT LOCATIONS
GENERAL
LOCATION
The constant speed drive attaches to left front of the engine accessory gearbox. The
generator is on the forward face of CSD.

GOVERNOR OPERATION
OIL COOLER
PURPOSE
The CSD oil cooler is used for cooling the oil from the CSD.
LOCATION
The CSD oil cooler is in an opening on the right side of the engine fan duct.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The cooler is a small oil/air heat exchanger. Fan air provides the cooling for the oil. It
attaches to the engine fan case by eight bolts. Inlet and outlet oil lines connect from
the cooler to the CSD.
OPERATION
During engine operation, hot oil from the CSD goes through the cooler. If the cooler
is blocked on the oil side, a differential pressure actuated bypass valve opens. This
valve starts to open at a differential pressure of 50 psi. The valve is fully open at a
differential pressure of 90 psi. Oil will bypass the cooler core.
CAUTION:
ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The circuit can be changed by a switch to include the oil out temperature sensor. The
temperature indicator can now show the rise in oil temperature through the CSD.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The constant speed drive (CSD) has electrical components. These connect to the
generator drive and standby power module on P5 forward overhead panel.
The low oil pressure switch operates at 120 - 160 psi. With increasing pressure, the
switch opens at 160 psi.
With decreasing pressure the switch closes at 120 psi. When the switch closes, these
are the indications in the flight compartment:
The high oil temperature switch operates at 157°C. When the switch closes, these are
the indications in the flight compartment:
The disconnect solenoid activates from a guarded switch. The normally closed
contacts of the switch connect a ground to the disconnect solenoid. This makes both
sides of the solenoid ground to prevent the possibility of voltage pickup that could trip
the CSD.
A second section of the switch sends power to the trip coil of the generator control
relay. This trips off the generator excitation.
On later manufactured aircraft, the CSD disconnect enable function comes from
operation of the N2 relay. CSD disconnect will enable only when the engine N2 speed
is above starter cut-out speed.
ENGINE GENERATOR DRIVE During servicing, the standpipe cap must be removed to allow the excess
quantity of oil in the cavity to drain. This prevents over-servicing of the wet
spline cavity.
WET SPLINE CAVITY
PURPOSE
The wet spline cavity provides lubrication for the drive connection between the engine
accessory gearbox and the constant speed drive.
The cavity is between the engine accessory gearbox and the constant speed drive.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The cavity is an enclosure partially filled with oil to provide lubrication for the CSD
drive shaft.
A standpipe controls the amount of oil that goes into the cavity. The wet spline cavity
servicing is through a service port on the side of the CSD.
WARNING:
CAUTION:
INSTALLATION
The constant speed drive and the AC generator can be removed and installed as
an assembly, or as separate units. If these operations are done without the help of
a cradle assembly, it will be easier to remove and install them separately. A quick-
attach-detach (QAD) locking ring helps removal and installation of the CSD, or of the
CSD and generator assembly.

CLOTHING AND CAN SOFTEN PAINT.
CAUTION:
USE HAND PRESSURE ONLY TO MAKE THE FILTER CAP SURFACE TOUCH
THE CSD SURFACE. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE SCREWS TO MAKE THE
SURFACES TOUCH. THIS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CSD.
OIL SERVICING
The oil sight glass on the CSD shows the oil level in the system. You fill the CSD with
oil from a pressure port adjacent to the CSD. Monitor the oil level on the sight glass.
The range of operation is in the band.
If the oil level is below the bottom edge of the band, fill to the bottom edge of the
band. Supply oil with 5 to 40 psi of pressure from a service cart through the CSD oil
reservoir pressure fill valve. Oil quantity is 4.5 quarts.
The oil level indication on the sight glass of a disconnected drive can show more oil
than there is. This is because of expanded air that can push oil from oil cooler into the
transmission. To get a correct oil level indication on the sight glass, do a pressure fill
and look at the sight glass again.
Left and right bands are different because of the angular difference between the CSD
on engine 1 and 2. This difference in angle comes from the wing dihedral angle of 6°.

SPEED ADJUSTMENT
GENERAL
The governor in the constant speed drive keeps the output speed to the generator at
6000 revolutions per minute. This keeps a frequency of 400 Hz. If the frequency is not
in the correct range, you can do a governor adjustment.
• Use module M400 to get an accurate frequency indication; operate the engine
for three minutes to let the CSD get to its operation temperature.
• Stop the engine and get access to the CSD.
• Remove the adjustment cap to get access to the adjustment screw.
• Put a screwdriver in the adjustment screw slot, push in, and turn the
screwdriver until adjustment screw aligns with the governor adjustment screw.
• Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase frequency, counter-clockwise
to decrease frequency; one full turn changes frequency 14 Hz.
• Adjust as necessary to set the frequency to 400 Hz.
• Replace the adjustment cap and O-ring over the adjustment screw.
When the adjustment screw is in alignment with the governor adjustment screw, you
feel a ratchet against a gear on the governor adjustment screw. There are 36 clicks
for 1 full turn.
INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The APU generator constant speed drive is the APU engine. The timed acceleration
fuel control unit (TAFCU) operates the APU at a constant speed of 100% at 41,000
revolutions per minute (RPM). The accessory gearbox drive reduces the APU engine
speed to turn the generator at a constant speed of 6000 RPM. This produces an
alternating current generator power supply at a constant frequency of 400 hertz.
LOCATION
The generator drive pad is on the upper right front face of the accessory drive gearbox
on the APU.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
• Three generators.
• Three generator control units.
• Bus protection panel.
• Six breakers.
• Five switches.
The two engine-driven generators supply the power for normal in-flight use. A
generator driven by the APU can supply power for ground or flight operation. The
control and protection of the generating system is by three generator control units
(GCUs). These units provide excitation control and fault protection.
AC GENERATOR A drain line is at the bottom of the generator to CSD attachment. This drain line
connects to the engine drain line system. Normally the drain line is dry. If there is oil
in the line, it shows that the seal on the CSD/generator shaft is bad, and you must
ENGINE replace the CSD.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PURPOSE
The engine-driven generators supply the electrical power for the aircraft systems for
in-flight and some ground operations.
LOCATION
The generator is on the forward left side of the engine. It attaches to the constant-
speed drive.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The generator has a cooling shroud around it. The cooling air goes in the shroud
through a duct from the engine fan. This cooling air goes overboard through a hole in
the left cowling.
There are six AC and three DC terminals on the generator. These are the terminals:
AC GENERATOR ATTACHMENT
Before you remove the generator, disconnect the AC and DC terminals from the
generator.
Loosen the generator mounting nuts around generator flange (12 places). The
generator mounting holes are slotted (keyhole) to allow generator removal with the
nuts on the studs. The nuts must be backed off about 1/2 inch to let the generator
frame turn without interference from the nuts. It may by necessary to tap the generator
with a rubber mallet to turn it.
Support the generator and turn it counter-clockwise as viewed from front. When the
studs line up with the flange openings (keyholes), remove the generator.
When you install the generator, refer to the aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) for
the correct torque on all mount and attach fasteners.
The generator is rated at 50 kilovolt-amperes, 120/208 volts, 400 Hz. The unit does Permanent magnets are on the exciter generator frame between the six stator poles.
not have slip rings, commutator, or brushes on either the main generator or the exciter. These magnets provide a built-in residual voltage which makes a voltage build-up and
makes field flashing and a start relay not necessary.
A complete generator assembly consists of these components:
• AC exciter generator.
• Rotating rectifier.
• Main generator.
EXCITATION
The exciter field gets DC power from the voltage regulator. This causes a three-phase
voltage to be developed in the exciter armature. The voltage goes into the AC generator
rotating field. The field generates the AC output voltage in the AC stator. Current from
the voltage regulator to the field winding provides excitation for the exciter generator
and controls the exciter output to the main generator.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The thermistor in the exciter frame has an inverse temperature resistance characteristic.
The high resistance at low or normal ambient temperature stops current flow in one
of the parallel wires and causes the overall field resistance to be that of the remaining
single wire.

CONTROL POWER SUPPLY • Over-current with inverse time delay.
• Differential current protection.
The control power supply changes the AC from the generator to DC.
AC GENERATION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Each generator control unit (GCU) and the bus protection panel (BPP) have a
transformer-rectifier (TR) unit. This TR changes three-phase, AC power to 28V DC
power. The DC power is used for the control and protection circuits during normal
system operation.
If the AC power is not available or the TR unit has failed, the power for the control
and protection circuits is available from the switched hot battery bus. With the battery
switch in the ON position, relay R41 is energized. The switched hot battery bus
connects through the relay to the three generator control units and bus protection
panel. This gives a backup power supply.
If the engine generator switch is in the ON position and there is a fault signal, the fault
signal grounds the GCR trip coil and the lockout relay.
AC GENERATION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
When the generator turns at 6000 rpm, and the K603 generator control relay (GCR)
is not energized, the only AC voltage available to the generator control unit (GCU) is
the residual voltage. This voltage is approximately 15-20V supplied by the permanent
magnets in the exciter. The K901 build-up relay is not energized.
When you put the generator switch momentarily to the ON position, power from
the excitation power supply goes through K901 contact and generator switch to the
generator exciter. The return path from the exciter to the excitation power supply
goes through the not energized contact of K901. During these conditions there is
no impedance in the excitation power supply exciter circuit. The unregulated voltage
increases from 15-20 to 100V.
When the voltage gets to 100V, the DC voltage output of the control power supply
causes a Zener diode to energize the build-up relay, and a return path from the exciter
back to the excitation power supply is open. The voltage regulator is between the
exciter and the excitation power supply. The rate of voltage increase then decreases
and becomes stable near 115V AC.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Momentarily put the engine generator switch to the ON position to close the engine
generator breaker.
The 28V DC power to close the breaker is from the generator control unit (GCU).
The 28V DC power to open the breaker is from the generator control unit, APU
generator control unit, and bus protection panel.
• Momentarily put the engine generator switch to the OFF position (this also
trips the GCR).
• Momentarily put the adjacent APU generator switch to the ON position.
• Momentarily put the ground power switch to the ON position.
The generator breaker will open automatically when any of these faults occur:
This time delay lets the generator operate for enough time to close valves between
the engine and aircraft systems. This also causes the LV light on the electrical power
annunciator panel to come on.

APU
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PURPOSE
The APU-driven generator produces the electrical power for the aircraft systems
primarily on the ground.
LOCATION
The generator is on the forward face of the APU. It attaches to the accessory drive
gearbox.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The generator is enclosed by a cooling shroud. The cooling air enters the shroud
through a duct from the fan. This cooling air exhausts overboard through openings in
the shroud and APU access door.
There are six AC and three DC terminals on the generator. These are the terminals:
APU GENERATOR CONTROL UNIT The K801 power ready relay will energize when these conditions are true:
The GCR can be tripped by these manual actions: The APU generator breaker is tripped by one of these:
• APU Generator switch momentarily to OFF (the first switch used trips its APU • Tripping the GCR (6 ways).
GB, the second switch used trips its APU GB and then the GCR). • Over-frequency.
• Fire handle(s) pulled (in the flight compartment or the main wheel well). • Under-frequency.
The GCR can be tripped by these automatic actions: The generator breaker trip relay K604 energizes and power from the GCU trips the
GB.
• Over voltage.
• Under-voltage.
• Over-current.
• Differential protection.
When the GCR trips, it opens the circuit from the excitation power supply to the
generator exciter.
If the APU generator switch is put to the ON position and there is a fault signal at
the time, the fault signal will ground both the GCR trip coil and the lockout relay. The
lockout relay and the APU generator switch ON keep the GCR tripped as long as the
APU generator switch is in the ON position.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The generator breaker will open automatically when any of these faults occur:
The 28V DC power to close the breaker is from the APU generator control unit (GCU).
On the ground, both APU generator breakers can be closed. In flight, only breaker 1
or 2 can be closed. This is controlled by the R38 air/ground relay.
The APU generator has limited cooling in flight and can not provide a full power output
for all electrical requirements.
The APU generator will supply power to both generator buses on the ground, and only
one generator bus in the air.
The 28V DC power to open the breaker is from the APU generator control unit, engine
generator control unit, and bus protection panel.
The two engine generator breakers connect 115V AC, 400 Hz, three-phase engine
generator power to the distribution system.
LOCATION
The engine generator breakers (GB 1 and GB 2) are on both sides of a bulkhead to
the right of the nose wheel well. Access to the breakers is through the nose wheel
well, by removal of the forward and aft access panels from the right inner wall in the
nose wheel well.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
A permanent magnet helps close and latch the breaker in the closed position.
The primary contacts allow power from the external power source to the system
distribution.
AC GENERATION
PURPOSE
The two APU generator breakers connect 115V AC, 400 Hz, three-phase APU

panel. Access to the contactors is through the circuit breaker panels at the bottom of
P6 panel.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The breaker mechanism has a DC coil for close and trip. A permanent magnet helps
close and latch the breaker in the closed position. An internal spring helps open
and hold it in the open position. The breaker has two types of contacts, primary and
auxiliary. The primary contacts allow power from the external power source to the
system distribution. The auxiliary contacts have these functions:
The close and trip signals for the breakers are from the P5 panel, generator control
units, and bus protection panel.
The APU GB is the same as the engine generator breaker and external power

of windings is for comparison of the load current to the total neutral current from the
engine generator. The other set of windings is for comparison of the load current to
the total neutral current from the APU generator.
The output from each current transformer connects to the engine and APU generator
control units.
AC GENERATION
PURPOSE
The essential electrical loads get power from the transfer buses. This makes sure of
minimum loss of electrically powered systems if there is a generator loss.
A transfer relay is between the generator bus and the transfer bus. The relay has two
coils, normal and alternate.

the generator buses through the normal coils of transfer relays. If one generator bus
has no power, its transfer relay goes to alternate. Both transfer buses get power from
the generator bus that has power.
For normal conditions, generator 1 supplies power to generator bus 1 through closed BATTERY CHARGER POWER SUPPLY

DC POWER
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Transformer rectifier unit 1 gets power from 115V AC transfer bus 1 and gives 28V DC
power to DC bus 1. Transformer rectifier unit 2 gets power from 115V AC transfer bus
2 and gives 28V DC power to DC bus 2.
The battery supplies power to the battery bus through relaxed battery bus auto relay
R1 and energized battery bus relay R355 when the battery switch is ON.
Transformer rectifier unit 3 gets power from main bus 2. When TR3 output is available,
it supplies power to the battery bus. Output from TR3 energizes the battery transfer
relay R2, which energizes battery bus auto relay R1. This disconnects power from the
battery to the battery bus and connects the TR3 to the battery bus through relaxed
bat bus manual relay R326.
If there is no output from TR3, relay R2 relaxes, relay R1 relaxes and the battery bus
gets power from the battery through energized relay R355.
If the standby power switch is in BAT position, battery bus manual relay R326
energizes. This transfers the battery bus to power from the battery and the battery
charger.

EXTERNAL POWER
PURPOSE
The bus protection panel (BPP) monitors, controls, and gives protection to the aircraft
electrical circuits connected to external power.
LOCATION
The bus protection panel is in the flight compartment on the front of the P6 panel.
EXTERNAL POWER
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Each of the generator control units (GCUs) and the bus protection panel (BPP) has
a transformer-rectifier (TR) unit. This TR converts three-phase, AC power to 28V DC.
The DC power is used for the control and protection circuits during normal system
operation.
If the AC power is not available or the TR unit has failed, the power for the control and
protection circuits is available from the switched hot battery bus.
When the battery switch is ON, relay R41 is energized. The switched hot battery
bus is connected through the relay to the three generator control units and the bus
protection panel. This gives a backup power supply.
When both EPCs are open (generator power applied, APU generator power applied,
BUS PROTECTION PANEL or battery switch OFF), the silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is pulsed. This relaxes
relay K1 in the bus protection panel.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Similarly, the ground power switch momentarily to the OFF position, pulses the SCR.
The bus protection panel has these functions:
If the external power supply is at under-voltage, over voltage, or negative sequence,
• Provides power supply for operation of external power contactors. the logic circuit relaxes relay K1 in the bus protection panel. This opens the EPCs
• Provides protection for the systems powered from external power. through R348 and protects the aircraft systems against bad external power.
• Removes engine generator or APU generator power from the buses before it
applies external power to the buses. The seven-second time delay in the under-voltage circuit is to allow for voltage
recovery after application of a load.
The external power transformer rectifier unit in the bus protection panel supplies 28V
DC to the ground power switch on P5 panel. When the engine generator switches are
not used, relays K1 and K2 in P5 panel are relaxed.
When the ground power switch is momentarily put to ON these relays energize:
When the ground power switch is released to the neutral position, relay K1 stays
energized through the logic holding circuit.
The engine generator breakers (GB 1 and GB 2) open (if they were closed) through
relay K2.
Relay R348 external power control relay energizes (battery switch ON), this opens
APU GB 2, if it was closed. When GB 2 and APU GB 2 are open, EPC 2 can now
close. External power is supplied to generator bus 2.
When EPC 2 is closed, relay R351 EPC 2 auxiliary relay energizes. This opens APU
GB 1, if it was closed. When GB 1 and APU GB 1 are open, EPC 1 can now close.
External power is supplied to generator bus 1.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
To close the external power contactor (EPC), momentarily put the ground power
switch to the ON position.
The 28V DC power to close the contactor is from the bus protection panel (BPP). This
energizes the external power control relay R348.
The 28V DC power to open the contactors is from the bus protection panel, generator
control units, and the APU generator control unit ,hot battery bus.
• Momentarily put the ground power switch to the OFF position-opens both
EPCs.
• Momentarily put the engine generator switch to the ON position-opens the
EPC on same side.
• Momentarily put the APU generator switch to the ON position-opens EPC on
same side.
• Put the battery switch to the OFF position-opens both EPCs.
EXTERNAL POWER
PURPOSE
The two external power contactors (EPCs) connect 115V AC, 400 Hz, three -phase
external power to the distribution system. The external power contactors are on the
forward side of a bulkhead to the right of the nose wheel well. Access to the contactors
is through the forward access panel on the right inner wall of the nose wheel well.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The contactor mechanism has a DC coil for close and trip. A permanent magnet
helps close and latches the contactor in the closed position. An internal spring helps
the contactor open and holds it in the open position. The contactor has two types of
contacts, primary and auxiliary. The primary contacts allow power from the external
power source to the system distribution. The auxiliary contacts have these functions:
The close and trip signals for the contactors are from the P5 panel, generator control
units, and bus protection panel.
The EPC is the same as the engine and APU generator breakers and are
interchangeable.
EXTERNAL POWER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ground service bus normally gets power from the generator bus 1. For servicing
the ground service bus can get power directly from the external power.
Power to the generator buses from external power is not necessary (EPCs stay open).
The connection of external power to the ground service bus is by the ground service
relay R6 and the ground service switch on the forward attendants panel (P-13) near
the forward main entry door.
EXTERNAL POWER
COMPONENTS
GENERAL
The ground service system allows use of AC external power for servicing of the
aircraft on the ground. External power to the aircraft power distribution system is not
necessary.
When external power is connected, the ground service switch energizes the ground
service system. Protection is provided by the bus protection panel.
COMPONENT LOCATIONS
These are the components used for the ground service system:
EXTERNAL POWER
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Power for the ground system connection is from the transformer rectifier unit in the
bus protection panel.
The ground service bus can get power directly from external AC power. You connect
external power to the ground service bus by the ground service switch. The switch has
a holding solenoid and is on the forward attendant panel.
The switch to the ON position energizes the holding solenoid and ground service
relay R6. The switch stays in the ON position. When R6 is energized, 115V AC from
external power is connected to the ground service bus. The external power switch
momentarily to the ON position, energizes relay K1 in the bus protection panel.
This energizes the external power control relay R348 which relaxes the ground service
switch holding solenoid. The switch automatically returns to OFF and R6 relaxes. The
ground service bus then gets power from its normal source, generator bus 1.
When the external power is connected, protection circuits in the bus protection panel
monitor the external power. If external power is not correct, (under voltage, over
voltage, or negative sequence), the protection circuits de-energize the ground service
switch holding solenoid. This relaxes relay R6 and disconnects external power from
the ground service bus.
The fuelling power select relay R10 is energized when external power is connected. If
external power is not correct, relay R10 relaxes.
STANDBY POWER
INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The standby electrical power distribution provides 115V AC and 28V DC power to
essential systems if normal supply is not available.
The standby power is supplied from the AC and DC distribution system or the static
inverter and the battery.
STANDBY POWER
PURPOSE
LOCATION
The standby power controls and indications are on the constant speed drive and
standby power panel. The panel is on the P5 forward overhead panel.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The panel has control and indication circuitry for the standby power.
• STANDBY PWR OFF amber light - shows that standby power is not available.
• Three-position standby power switch - BAT, OFF, and AUTO. The switch is
guarded in the AUTO position.
STANDBY SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PURPOSE
The standby power distribution provides 115V AC and 28V DC power to essential
systems the normal supply is not available.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
During normal operation the standby AC bus gets power from the transfer bus 1. The
standby DC bus gets power from DC bus 1.
When AC power is not available, the battery provides power for the standby system.
The standby AC bus gets power from the battery bus through the inverter. The standby
DC bus gets power from the battery bus.
The power on the standby AC and DC buses can show on the AC and DC meter
panel.
STANDBY POWER
STATIC INVERTER
PURPOSE
The static inverter supplies 115V AC, 400 Hertz, single phase power to the standby
AC bus during loss or absence of the normal supply.
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The static inverter is rated at 500VA. The electrical connector is at the back of the
inverter.
MONITOR
The standby bus can also get power from the battery with the standby power switch
in the BAT position. This energizes relay R328 and connects battery bus power to
the standby bus. When the standby power switch is OFF, the standby DC bus has no
power.
The standby AC system is a single-phase 115V AC bus. It usually gets power from
transfer bus 1 through energized standby power transfer auto relay R37 and de-
energized standby power manual relay R328.
Relay R37 gets power from DC bus 1 and a ground through the voltage sensor card
and standby power switch in the AUTO position. The transfer bus 1 must be more than
100V AC.
When the transfer bus 1 is less than 100V AC or when DC bus 1 is less than 17V
DC, relay R37 de-energizes. The static inverter gets power from the battery bus, and
now supplies the AC power to the standby AC bus if the aircraft is in the air, and the
standby power switch is in AUTO.
The standby AC bus can also get power from the static inverter with the standby
power switch in the BAT position. This energizes relay R328. When the standby power
switch is OFF, relays R37 and R328 de-energize, and the static inverter gets no power
from the battery bus. The standby AC bus has no power in this condition.

on the P5 panel, turn the selector to the TEST position. This connects the voltmeter
to the power system test module. Also, an external DC voltmeter can be connected to
the power system test module.
You use the two switches, S2 and S1, on the power system test module to select a
part of the DC system to test.
These are the parts of the DC system which are available for checks:

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
To do a test of the DC and generator control relay fault lights, hold the switch in
the TEST position. Usually the DC indication lights are off. Hold the switch in the
INDICATE position to do a check of the DC buses. If the bus has power, the related
light comes on.
On the ground, six lights come on. In flight the EXT PWR TR light does not come on.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The twelve white fault (malfunction) lights are in groups of four. Each group is for a
generator. Two coil relays in the generator control units control the lights.
You can do a test of all lights with the INDICATE/TEST switch in the TEST position.
All lights have 28V DC battery bus power available when the battery switch is on.
Operation of the close coil of the fault light relay gives a ground from a generator
control unit. The light comes on and stays on. After the relay energizes, it stays closed
by a magnetic latch. To release the relay, energize its reset coil.
The FF, HV, and LV lights go off when you push the ERASE push-button. This
momentarily energizes the reset coil. The MT light goes off by a reset of the generator
control relay in the generator control unit. To do a reset of the generator control relay,
momentarily put the generator control switch to the ON position. This also momentarily
energizes the reset coil (engine 1, 2 and APU generators).
INDICATION
The eleven neon lights come on when phases A and C of their AC buses have power.
A light off shows a loss of power on that bus.
Each light connects directly to a circuit breaker on its bus. All lights connect to a
common ground.

PURPOSE
The engine and APU fire detection module monitors detectors for overheat and fire
conditions on the engine. Also it monitors for fire conditions on the APU.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The control circuits for the engine overheat and fire and the APU fire detection are in
the module. The front panel has these components:
LOCATION
The engine and APU fire detection module is on the electronic equipment compartment
on the E3-3 shelf.
OPERATION
During normal conditions, all front panel lights are off. When a fault condition occurs,
the related FAULT light comes on. When you push the FAULT/INOP test switch, faults
are simulated to do a check of the circuit ability to detect a fault. If the circuits operate
correctly, all lights on the front panel come on. If a light does not come on, it shows a
faulty circuit operation.
INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The wheel well fire detection system uses overheat sensing elements in the main
wheel well. It monitors the wheel well for fire condition. When the system senses a fire
condition, alarm indications operate in the flight compartment. The indications are on
the glareshield panel P7 and on the engine and APU fire control panel P8. A bell also
operates in the flight compartment.
WHEEL WELL OVERHEAT DETECTION During the wheel well fire test, the engine overheat, the engine fire, and the
APU fire systems also do a test.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
These are the components for the wheel well fire detection:
Fire (overheat) sensing element in the main wheel well supplies the wheel well fire
detection signal.
The signal goes to the compartment overheat detection controller. This unit supplies
the fire alarms.
If the wheel well fire alarms come on due to a real fire or a fault, the MAINT ADV light
on the compartment overheat detection controller comes on. Use the module to do a
check for real alarm or a fault condition.
You use the test switch on engine and APU fire control module panel to the OVHT/
FIRE position to do a test of the wheel well sensing element.
If the test passes, the indications in the flight compartment are the same as for a real
fire condition.
If the test fails, use the compartment overheat detection controller to isolate the fault.
PURPOSE The DISP TEST (display test) switch does a check of the control circuits. This shows
by code 88.
The compartment overheat detection controller monitors sensing elements for

The flight spoilers help control the roll of the airplane.
LOCATION
Each spoiler has a number, 0 through 9 (from left to right). There are two flight spoilers
on each wing.
The flight spoilers are at the fixed trailing edge of the wings, between the engine struts
and the ailerons.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The flight spoilers are composite materials. The flight spoilers are interchangeable.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The flight spoilers operate in the air and on the ground. They use inputs from the
control wheel and the speedbrake lever.
The flight spoilers start to move up when the control wheel turns more than 11° or
when the speedbrake lever moves more than the ARMED detent. The flight spoilers
are at their maximum positions when the control wheel turns more than 87° or when
the speedbrake lever moves to the UP position.
When you rig the spoilers, keep a small gap between the spoiler and the TE flap.

speed brake lever moves up.
When the control wheels move, the AA and AB left body cables move and control the
aileron PCUs. The PCU moves the body quadrant, which moves the AA and AB left
and right aileron wing cables.
The aileron spring cartridge connects the body quadrant to the spoiler control
quadrant. The spoiler control quadrant supplies the control wheel inputs to the spoiler
ratio changer and mixer. The spoiler ratio changer moves the WSA and WSB spoiler
wing cables. The spoiler wing cables move the flight spoiler quadrants and give an
input to the flight spoiler actuators.
When the pilot turns the control wheel clockwise, the flight spoilers on the right wing
start to move up. When the control wheel turns more, the flight spoilers on the right
wing move more. The flight spoilers on the right wing move to their maximum positions
when the control wheel moves more than 87°. When the pilot turns the control wheel
counter-clockwise, the left flight spoilers move the same as for the right flight spoilers.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION – 1 The auto speedbrake module controls the automatic operation of the speedbrakes.
The speedbrake lever position sensor sends data to the flight data recorder.
These components send data to the E11 landing gear logic shelf:
The speedbrake takeoff warning switch sends lever position data to the landing gear
logic shelf. The logic shelf uses this data for takeoff warning. The two ground spoiler
bypass valve proximity sensors are used for air/ground indication and control.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION – 2 The ground spoiler actuators use hydraulic system A pressure to move the ground
spoilers.
GENERAL
• Speedbrake lever.
• Auto speedbrake actuator.
• Ground spoiler control valve.
• Ground spoiler bypass valve.
• Ground spoiler actuators.
SPEEDBRAKE LEVER
The speedbrake lever sends mechanical inputs to the spoiler ratio changer. The ratio
changer sends the inputs to the spoiler mixer. When the speedbrake lever moves 31°,
the spoiler mixer moves the ground spoiler control valve.
The auto speedbrake actuator moves the speedbrake lever during landings and
refused takeoffs (RTOs).
The ground spoiler control valve sends hydraulic power to the ground spoiler bypass
valve when the speedbrake lever moves 31°.
A push/pull cable moves the ground spoiler bypass valve when the airplane is on the
ground. When the bypass valve moves, it permits hydraulic system A pressure to go
from the ground spoiler control valve to the ground spoiler actuators.
These are the speedbrake controls and indications in the flight compartment:
• Speedbrake lever.
• Speedbrake placard.
• SPEEDBRAKE DO NOT ARM light.
• SPEEDBRAKE ARMED light.
CONTROLS
The pilots use the speedbrake lever to move the spoilers. All the spoilers move up
when the airplane is on the ground, and only the flight spoilers move up when the
airplane is in the air. The speedbrake lever is on the P10 control stand.

• Forward equipment compartment.
• Electronic equipment compartment.
• Main landing gear wheel well.
• Wings.
FLIGHT COMPARTMENT
• Speedbrake lever.
• Speedbrake takeoff warning switch.
• Speedbrake refused takeoff (RTO) switch.
PURPOSE
The speedbrake RTO switch sends a signal to the auto speedbrake module. This
operates the auto speedbrake function during refused takeoffs.
The speedbrake takeoff warning switch sends a signal to the landing gear logic shelf
for the takeoff warning function.
LOCATION
The speedbrake RTO and takeoff warning switches are in the control stand. To get
access, remove the manual stabilizer trim wheel and the panel on the left side of the
control stand.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The speedbrake RTO switch (S650) operates when a thrust reverser lever moves to
the reverse thrust position.
The thrust reverser lever moves the thrust reverser cam. The cam turns the cam
follower. The cam follower turns the lifting arm and operates the speedbrake RTO
switch. The lifting arm touches the lifting tab, and this lifts the speedbrake lever.
The speedbrake takeoff warning switch (S651) operates when the speedbrake lever
moves out of the down detent.
The takeoff warning switch tab on the speedbrake lever operates the speedbrake
takeoff warning switch when the speedbrake lever moves down into the down detent.
See the takeoff warning section for more information about takeoff warning.
PURPOSE
The engine throttle switches supply data to the auto speedbrake module for the auto
speedbrake function. The auto speedbrake module uses this data to move the spoilers
down after an auto speedbrake operation.
LOCATION
The engine throttle switches are in the engine switch modules in the auto-throttle
mechanisms. The auto-throttle mechanisms are above the E2 and E3 racks in
the electronic equipment compartment. To get access, go through the electronic
equipment compartment access door.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The engine throttle switches operate when the thrust levers move more than the idle
position.
PURPOSE
LOCATION
The auto speedbrake module is on the E3-2 rack in the electronic equipment
compartment.
INTERFACES
There are four wheel spin-up lights on the auto speedbrake module front panel. The
lights come on when the main landing gear wheels turn faster than 60 knots, and the
speedbrake arming switch or the speedbrake refused takeoff switch closes. There is
one light for each wheel.
PURPOSE
The ground spoiler control valve receives inputs from the spoiler mixer and sends
hydraulic system A pressure to the ground spoiler bypass valve.
LOCATION
The ground spoiler control valve is on the forward bulkhead of the main landing gear
wheel well. It is right of the spoiler mixer and ratio changer.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
A control rod connects the ground spoiler control valve to the spoiler mixer. During
speedbrake lever movement, the control rod moves the ground spoiler control valve.
You may use the rigging tool to connect and adjust the control rod, but it is not
necessary.

PURPOSE
The ground spoiler bypass valve lets the ground spoilers operate only when the
airplane is on the ground.
This valve sends hydraulic system A pressure from the ground spoiler control valve to
the ground spoiler actuators when the right main landing gear compresses.
LOCATION
The ground spoiler bypass valve is in the forward, upper, right corner of the main
landing gear wheel well. It is outboard of the hydraulic system B reservoir.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The ground spoiler bypass valve is a mechanically operated hydraulic valve that is
spring loaded to the air mode position.
A push-pull cable attaches to the ground spoiler bypass valve and to the right main
landing gear upper torsion link. When the right main landing gear compresses during
landing, the cable pulls on the input crank of the bypass valve. The bypass valve
then moves to the ground mode position and sends hydraulic power from the ground
spoiler control valve to the ground spoiler actuators.
You can rig the ground spoiler bypass valve with the airplane weight on the wheels or
with the airplane on jacks.

The main rudder PCU is above the rudder feel and centring unit in the vertical stabilizer.
To get access to the PCU, remove the panel on the left side of the vertical fin.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
When the pilot moves the rudder pedals, the rudder input rods move.
The upper rod moves the A control valve, and the lower input rod moves the B control
valve. This moves the external summing levers and the input cranks and causes the
PCU piston to move the rudder.
As the PCU piston moves, the summing levers move the input cranks to do a null of
the input valves.
Hydraulic system B power goes through a priority valve and a flow limiter to the flap During alternate operation the alternate flaps switches send a signal to move the
control unit. The priority valve gives priority of hydraulic system B power to the LE bypass valve to the bypass position. The bypass valve prevents a hydraulic lock on
devices over the TE flaps. The flow limiter puts a limit on the speed of movement of the PDU. The alternate flaps switches also energize the alternate flap relays. These

connected. The bypass valve removes hydraulic power to the flap PDU, and the TE
flaps stop movement. During alternate operation the asymmetry detection function and the flap load relief
function are not available.
The flap control valve sends system B hydraulic power through the bypass valve to
the flap power drive unit (PDU). The PDU moves the flap drive system to move the TE
flaps. The PDU supplies a mechanical feedback to the flap control valve as the flap
drive system moves.
The flap PDU also supplies a mechanical input to the leading edge slat and flap
control valve and the flap limit switches in the flap control unit.
If airspeed is more than a limit, the flap load relief function sends a command to the
solenoid valve on the flap control valve to retract the TE flaps.
The flap load relief function uses data from these components:
GENERAL DESCRIPTION – 2 There are two angle gearboxes on each wing. The angle gearboxes connect torque
tubes that are at different angles to each other.
GENERAL
TRANSMISSIONS, BALL-SCREWS, AND GIMBALS
These are the components of the TE flap drive system:
There are two transmissions, ball-screws, and gimbals for each flap surface. They
• Flap control unit. receive power from the torque tubes to move the flap surfaces.
• Flap power drive unit.
• Torque tubes.
• Angle gearboxes.
• Transmissions.
• Ball-screws.
• Gimbals.
The flap drive system on the left wing is the same as the flap drive system on the right
wing. Many of the components are interchangeable.
There is one flap control unit. The flap control unit receives commands from the flap
lever cables during normal operation and sends hydraulic power to the flap power
drive unit. During alternate operation switches in the flap control unit put a limit on the
operation of the electric motor in the flap power drive unit.
There is one flap power drive unit. Hydraulic and electric motors on the PDU turn the
flap torque tubes.
TORQUE TUBES
There are eight torque tubes on each wing. The torque tubes transmit power from the
flap power drive unit to the transmissions.
LOCATION To move the flap lever to a new position, you must lift the flap lever so the index pin
moves out of the detent.
The flap lever is on the right side of the control stand. The flap lever 40-unit switches
are below the flap lever in the control stand. To get access to the flap lever 40-unit
switches, remove the stabilizer trim indicator panel and cover.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
It attaches to the flap lever quadrant in the control stand. The quadrant moves the flap
cables that supply inputs to the flap control unit in the MLG wheel well.
Springs in the flap control unit supply a resistant force on the flap lever.
The flap lever has an index pin that holds the flap lever in detents in the detent plate.
• 0.
• 1.
• 2.
• 5.
PURPOSE
The flap control quadrant transmits pilot inputs from the flap lever to the flap control
unit.
The cable tension switch sends a signal to stop hydraulic operation of the trailing edge
flaps if the control cables are broken or disconnected.
LOCATION
The flap control quadrant and the cable tension switch are above the MLG wheel well.
To get access, remove a floor panel in the passenger cabin.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The control cables from the flap lever attach to the flap control quadrant and a pulley.
The pulley attaches to a lever which pivots on structure. Cable tension holds the lever
against the forward side of the opening in the switch bracket.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Flap lever movement causes the control cables to move the flap control quadrant. The
quadrant moves an input rod to operate the flap control unit in the MLG wheel well.
When the control cables break or disconnect, the spring on the cable pulley lever pulls
the lever aft. This pulls the target on the lever away from the cable tension switch.
The switch sends a signal to operate the bypass valve to the bypass position. This
removes hydraulic pressure to the trailing edge flaps and the flaps stop moving.
This valve removes hydraulic power to the hydraulic motor during non-normal
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION operations. When the bypass valve is in the normal position, it lets hydraulic power
from the flap control valve go to the TE flap hydraulic motor.
HYDRAULIC
When the bypass valve moves to the bypass position, it connects the hydraulic lines
GENERAL on the two sides of the hydraulic motor to each other.
Hydraulic fluid from system B flows through the flap priority valve. This valve decreases It takes 38 seconds for the TE flaps to fully extend or fully retract during normal

less than 2400 psi. This gives priority of system B hydraulic power to the LE devices
verses the TE flaps.
The flow limiter puts a limit on the flow of hydraulic fluid to 14 gpm. This controls the
speed of movement of the TE flaps.
The flap control unit has a control valve and a flap load relief solenoid. The control
valve uses mechanical inputs from the flap lever cables to control the hydraulic flow
to the hydraulic motor.
During flap load relief the flap load relief solenoid energizes and moves the sleeve in
the control valve.
This causes the control valve to send hydraulic power to the retract side of the
hydraulic motor.
The cable tension switch sends a ground to the flap asymmetry shutoff relay if the flap
HYDRAULIC BYPASS control cables are broken or disconnected. The relay sends power to move the bypass
valve to the bypass position.
GENERAL
The bypass valve prevents the TE flap hydraulic motor operation (shutdown) during
these conditions:
When the bypass valve is in the normal position, it lets hydraulic power from the TE
flap control valve go to the TE flap hydraulic motor. When the bypass valve moves to
the bypass position, it stops the hydraulic flow to the hydraulic motor.
The bypass valve is in the normal position during the hydraulic operation of the
TE flaps. When you move the alternate flaps arm switch to the ARM position, this
switch supplies electrical power to move the bypass valve to the bypass position. This
prevents a hydraulic lock on the hydraulic motor and lets the electric motor operate.
TE FLAP ASYMMETRY
If the asymmetry switch in the TE flap position indicator finds a flap asymmetry, the
flap asymmetry shutoff relay energizes.
The relay sends power to move the bypass valve to the bypass position.
A test switch does a test of the left and right needles in the TE flap position indicator. It
also operates the bypass valve. When the bypass valve moves to the bypass position,
it sends power to a green asymmetry test light, and the light comes on.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION You can do a test of the flap lever 40 unit switches when the airplane is on the ground.
Use the flap load limiter test switch on the E2 rack.
FLAP LOAD RELIEF The flap lever must be in a position other than 40 units.
GENERAL Move the switch to the SW position. The green load limiter test light adjacent to the
switch comes on if the flap lever 40 unit switches operate correctly.
The flap load relief function prevents damage to the flaps and their support structures
from large aerodynamic forces because of airspeeds that are too high.
Flap load relief puts a limit on the positions of the TE flaps as a function of airspeed.
Flap load relief operates only during normal operation of the TE flaps.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The load relief solenoid energizes when the flap lever is at the 40 unit position, and
the airspeed increases to more than 162 knots. This causes the TE flaps to retract to
the 30 position.
The load relief solenoid de-energizes when the pilot moves the flap lever to the 30 unit
position, or the airspeed decreases to less than 156 knots.
You can do a test of the flap load relief function when the airplane is on the ground.
Use the BITE panel on the air data computer 1 and the flap load limiter test switch on
the E2 rack.
The flap lever must be in the 40 unit position, and hydraulic system B pressure must
be on.
Hold the flap load limiter test switch in the SYS position while you do a BITE check
on the air data computer 1. During this test the TE flaps move from position 40 to 30.

WARNING:
MAKE SURE THE POSITION OF THE TE FLAPS AGREES WITH THE POSITION
OF THE FLAP CONTROL LEVER. WHEN YOU SUPPLY HYDRAULIC POWER,
THE FLAPS AND SLATS WILL MOVE AUTOMATICALLY TO THE POSITION OF
THE FLAP CONTROL LEVER. THIS CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS AND
DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The trailing edge (TE) flaps position indicating system shows position of the TE flaps
during normal and alternate operations and during asymmetry.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
The TE flap position indicating system uses the flap position transmitters to measure
the position of the TE flaps. This data shows on the flap position indicator in the flight
compartment and also goes to other user systems.
The flap position transmitters send flap position data to these components:
PURPOSE
The flap position transmitters send flap position data to these components:
LOCATION
There are two flap position transmitters. The left position transmitters are between
transmissions 1 and 2 on the left wing. The right position transmitters are between
transmissions 7 and 8 on the right wing. To get access, extend the TE flaps.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Each flap position transmitter has three internal synchros. Each synchro uses 28V
AC, 400 Hz power. The power for each synchro comes from a different computer.
PURPOSE
The flap position indicator shows the position of the left and right TE flaps independently.
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The flap position indicator has left and right needles to show the position of the left
and right wing TE flaps independently. The indicator also has reference marks to show
the flap lever detent positions. The indicator has one synchro for each needle. The
synchros receive inputs from the flap position transmitters.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
There are two flap position transmitters, and each has three internal synchros.
One synchro in each transmitter sends flap position data to control the left and right
needles in the flap position indicator.
An asymmetry switch in the position indicator compares the signals from the left and
right transmitter synchros. The switch closes and gives a ground to the asymmetry
shutoff relay when the signals are different. The relay gives power to move the bypass
valve to the bypass position. This stops hydraulic operation of the trailing edge flaps.
You can do a test of the operation of the asymmetry shutdown with the asymmetry
test switch and light. T
The TEST LEFT-UP position of the switch makes the left needle
of the flap position indicator move to a different flap position than the right needle.
When the needles are different, the asymmetry switch in the indicator closes. The
TEST RIGHT-UP position of the switch moves the right needle and also operates the
bypass valve.
When the bypass valve moves to the bypass position, it gives power to green
asymmetry test light, and the light comes on.
INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The leading edge (LE) flaps and slats increase the wing area and the wing camber.
This increases lift to improve the takeoff and landing performance of the airplane.
GENERAL
The LE devices include two Krueger flaps and three slats on the leading edge of each
wing. During cruise, these surfaces fully retract. These surfaces extend during takeoff
to increase lift which permits slower speeds for airplane rotation. During landing, the
LE slats fully extend to increase lift and permit slower speeds for landing.
During normal operation, the LE flaps and slats are mechanically controlled. During
alternate operation, the LE flaps and slats are electrically controlled.
There is position indication in the flight deck for all the LE devices during normal
operation and alternate operation.
You can do tests of the LE flap and slat position indication with built in test equipment
(BITE) in the LE flap and slat indicating module. The module BITE also lets you see
other maintenance data.
During the normal operation, if the airplane is near a stall condition, the auto-slat
function fully extends the LE slats. This helps prevent a stall.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION During the alternate operation, the alternate flaps switches send a signal to the LE
standby shutoff valve and to the standby hydraulic system. The LE standby shutoff
valve sends hydraulic power to the LE flap and slat actuators to extend the LE flaps
GENERAL and slats.
The LE flaps and slats use hydraulic power to move. For the normal operation, hydraulic Hydraulic power from the LE standby shutoff valve has a higher priority than the
system B supplies hydraulic power. The commands for the LE flaps and slats come hydraulic power from the LE flap and slat control valve.
from the TE flap system. During the alternate operation, the standby hydraulic system
supplies hydraulic power. The commands come from the alternate flaps switches. During the alternate operation, the LE flaps and slats cannot retract.
NORMAL OPERATION
The TE flap system sends inputs to the LE flap and slat control valve during normal
operation. The flap lever moves a cable system that supplies a mechanical input to
the TE flap system. As the TE flaps move, feedback from the TE flap system moves
the LE flap and slat control valve. The LE flap and slat control valve is in the TE flap
control unit.
The LE flap and slat control valve gets pressure from hydraulic system B. The LE flap
and slat control valve sends hydraulic power through the auto-slat control valve to the
LE flap and slat actuators. These actuators move the LE flaps and slats.
The LE flap and slat proximity sensors and position switches send signals to the
leading edge flap and slat indicating module. The module sends this data to the LE
devices annunciator panel and the LE flaps lights in the flight compartment.
If the airplane gets near a stall condition, the stall management computers (SMCs)
send signals to the auto-slat control valve. The auto-slat control valve sends hydraulic
power to the LE slat actuators to extend the LE slats.
See the leading edge auto-slat system section for more information on the auto-slat
valve.
See the stall warning system section for more information on the SMCs.
See the trailing edge flap system section for more information on the TE flap system.

INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
The stall warning system gives an indication to the crew when the airplane is near a
stall. It shakes the control columns.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
The stall warning system shakes the control column when the airplane gets near a
stall.
These are the components and systems that have an interface with the stall warning
system:
COMPONENT LOCATION
GENERAL
• Flight compartment.
• Electronic equipment compartment.
FLIGHT COMPARTMENT
The stall warning test panel is on the P5 aft overhead panel. The control column
shakers are on the forward side of the control columns.
PURPOSE
The control column shakers shake the control columns to give the pilots an alert of a
stall condition.
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Each control column shaker has a 28V DC motor and an unbalanced ring. There is
one electrical connector on each unit.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The motor turns an unbalanced ring. The ring shakes the control column.
PURPOSE
The test switches on the stall warning test panel do a test of the stall warning system.
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The stall warning test panel has two push button switches.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Each test switch lets you do a test of the stall warning system. When you push switch
1, you do a test of stall warning system 1 with operation of the control column shaker
on the captain control column. When you push switch 2, you do a test of stall warning
system 2 with operation of the control column shaker on the first officer control column.
When you push the test switch, the stall warning system does an internal test. If no
faults are found, the control column shaker operates. If faults are found, the control
column shaker does not operate. During the test the control column shaker operates
until you release the test switch or for a maximum of 20 seconds.
The 20 second maximum time limit prevents damage to the motor in the control
column shaker.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
The SMCs have two calculations for stall warning. Each of the calculations can cause
an SMC to send a stall warning signal to a column shaker. These calculations are the
normal stall warning and the speed floor stall warning.
Stall warning is only available when the airplane is in the air or airspeed is more than
160 knots.
• Angle-of-attack.
• TE flap position.
• LE flap and slat asymmetry.
• Engine speed.
• Airspeed.
If the angle-of-attack is too high for a TE flap position, the SMYDs send a stall warning
signal to the column shakers.
The SMCs use the other data for bias calculations. If a bias is active, the SMCs send
a stall warning signal at a lower angle-of-attack. The SMCs calculate all biases at the
same time and use the highest bias. The SMYDs subtract the highest active bias from
the normal trip point schedule to decrease the trip point.
The speed floor stall warning uses TE flap position data and airspeed data. If the
airspeed is too low for a TE flap position, the SMCs send a stall warning signal to the
column shakers.
GENERAL The SMC does a system test and shows TEST IN PROGRESS when you push the
ON/OFF switch. SYSTEM OK shows if no faults are found. TEST FAIL shows if faults
are found. Use the down arrow switch to see the number of faults and to go through
The stall management computer (SMC) has these BITE functions:

• Do a system test. Push the YES switch to go in one of these menu selections.
• Check SMC operation after replacement.
• Show that all functions are in specifications.
• Help fault isolation.
Six push-button switches and a two-row 8-character display are on the front of the
SMC for BITE tests.
BITE OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
The takeoff warning function gives an intermittent aural warning sound if the airplane
is in an unsafe condition during takeoff.
FUNCTIONAL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The takeoff warning function is in the landing gear logic shelf. The aural warning
module gives the sound of an intermittent horn for a takeoff warning on the ground.
ON THE GROUND
When the airplane is on the ground and the thrust levers are at the takeoff power
position (throttle quadrant switches more than 30°), the aural warning system gives
the takeoff warning sound if any of these conditions occur:
INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
To do the takeoff warning system test on the ground, move the thrust levers forward,
put the necessary flight controls to the takeoff position, and then move the flight
controls necessary for the test to an incorrect position.
There are two leading edge warning test switches added because of the relation of
the trailing edge and leading edge flaps.
LOCATION
The leading edge warning test switches are on the forward stanchion of the E3 rack
adjacent to row 1.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The leading edge warning override test switch has two positions:
• Normal.
• Override.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Movement of the LE warning override test switch to OVERRIDE position provides an
alternate ground to energize both LE flap 1 & 4 extend relays. Both green annunciator
lights confirms that the LE flaps cannot sound the warning horn even though the LE

caused by the trailing edge flap takeoff warning switch.
The FSIM uses LE flaps 1 and 4 extend and retract sensor data to monitor the
alignment of the LE flaps.
When the flap lever is in the UP position, 28V DC power from BUS 1 goes through the
normally positioned LE warning test switch to the FSIM. If the LE flap/slat indication
logic is true, a ground from the FSIM energizes the LE flap extend relay R238 or
R239. When the relay is energized, a ground is completes the circuit to turn on the
green annunciator light. The relay also opens the circuit to the landing gear logic shelf
and inhibits the LE flap 1 and 4 circuit from operating the takeoff warning system.
When the flap lever is in the takeoff position, 28V DC from BUS 1 goes through the
normally positioned LE warning test switch to the FSIM. If the LE flap/slat indication
logic is false, the FSIM removes the ground and de-energizes both LE flap extend
relays.
STORAGE
CAPACITY
The nominal capacity of main tank 1 is 10,043 lbs (4,555 kgs). The nominal capacity
of main tank 2 is 10,043 lbs (4,555 kgs). The nominal capacity of the centre tank is
15,497 lbs (7,029 kgs). Fuel tank capacity does not include surge tanks.
COMPONENT LOCATION
GENERAL
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The engine fuel feed system uses pumps, valves and tubing for engine and APU feed.
Defuel and transfer operations are done at the fuelling station and are only done on
the ground.
GENERAL OPERATION
Both engines receive fuel first from the centre tank and then from the respective
main tank. Cross-feed valve allows one fuel tank to supply fuel to both engines. Both
engines can receive fuel by suction from the main tanks.
Tank No.1 primarily supplies fuel to the APU. Any tank can supply fuel to the APU by
using the engine feed components.
Defuel of all the tanks is done by operation from the engine feed components and
through the fuelling manifold.
Fuel transfer between tanks is done by operation from the engine feed components
and through the fuelling manifold.
ENGINE FUEL FEED SYSTEM The motor has the impeller and uses three-phase, 115V AC, 400 Hz power. It is in
the housing.
FUEL BOOST PUMP
TRAINING INFORMATION POINT
GENERAL When you remove a centre tank boost pump, close the removal valve for the opposite
centre tank boost pump.
The boost pumps supply fuel from the tanks to the engine feed manifold.
This prevents fuel flow back through the re-prime line.
Each of the six boost pumps are interchangeable.
LOCATION
The centre tank and main tank aft boost pumps are in dry bays in each main tank.
Access to the centre tank and aft main tank boost pumps is through panels on the
bottom of the wings.
The main tank forward boost pumps are on the front spar. You extend the leading
edge flaps to get access to the main tank forward boost pumps.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Fuel goes in the pump through a wire mesh screen at the suction tube inlet. A part of
the fuel goes through the pump as a lubricant for the bearings and a coolant for the
motor.
The discharge check valve is a spring-loaded-closed flapper type check valve. Main
tank boost pump check valves are different than the centre tank boost pump check
valves.
The pressure that opens the main tank check valves is approximately 12 psi. The
pressure that opens the centre tank check valves is approximately 1.3 psi.
A pump removal valve handle permits removal of the pump with fuel in the tank. Two
clamps hold the pump in position.
GENERAL
The fuel scavenge circuit controls the operation of the scavenge fuel shutoff valve.
COMPONENT LOCATION
The circuit components are in the P5 and P6 panels. The scavenge timer card M528
is in the engine accessory module, E3-2.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
OPERATION
Power supply for the centre tank boost pumps is 3 phase 115V AC and for the control
circuit is 28V DC. When both centre tank fuel boost pump switches are placed in the
off position the scavenge fuel shutoff valve solenoid is energized for 20 minutes. You
have to place one or both centre tank fuel boost pump switches to the on position to
arm the M528 control logic. If you do not arm the M528 control logic the scavenge
fuel shutoff valve solenoid will not energize even through both centre tank boost pump
switches are in the off position.
When the M528 control logic is armed and both centre tank boost pump switches are
FUEL INDICATION
GENERAL
The purpose of the indicating system is to measure and show the weight of usable
fuel in the tanks and the fuel temperature.
COMPONENT LOCATION
The indicating system components, tank units, compensators, and measuring sticks
are inside the fuel tanks. The indicators are in the flight compartment and on the
fuelling station. The temperature bulb is in tank No.1 and the indicator is in the flight
compartment.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
There are two quantity indicating systems. The electrical system is for all the tanks.
The display is in the flight compartment and at the fuelling station.
The mechanical system is only for tanks No.1 and No. 2. Fuel temperature is measured
in tank No.1 and is displayed in the flight compartment.
GENERAL OPERATION
The electrical indicating system uses a series of capacitors with fuel acting as a
dielectric. Change in fuel level alters the current through the capacitors.
This creates an indication of the fuel quantity. The compensators allow for density
changes. Mechanical indicating using measuring sticks senses fuel height and requires
conversion of measuring stick reading to fuel quantity. The fuel temperature alters the
resistance of the temperature bulb. This will change the temperature indication in the
flight compartment.
The fuel quantity indicating system calculates the weight of the usable fuel in the
tanks. The electrical system is a capacitance type system.
COMPONENT LOCATION
The capacitance gauging system tank units and compensators are in the fuel tanks.
• 12 tank units.
• 1 compensator.
• 5 measuring sticks.
• 2 tank units.
• 1 compensator.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Tank units are hollow coaxial cylindrical capacitors that attach vertically to the ribs in
each fuel tank. Fuel is the dielectric. The contour of the inner tube has a relation to the
irregular internal shape of the fuel tank.
Compensators are hollow coaxial cylindrical capacitors that attach vertically to the ribs
in each fuel tank at the lowest point of the tank. The compensator connects electrically
to the gauging circuit to make allowance for the different dielectric constants of fuels
of different chemical compositions.
System components are in the flight compartment, fuel tanks, and at the fuelling The power supply for the indicators is 115V AC from the standby bus or external
station. power.
• Tank units.
• Compensator.
• Measuring sticks (main tanks).
The fuelling quantity indicators and indicator test switch are at the P15 fuelling station
panel.
Digital fuel quantity indicators on the P2 (P1 with EFIS option) panel show the weight
of fuel in each tank. Each indicator has a single chip microcomputer system and a
digital liquid crystal display (LCD). The microcomputer measures the capacitance and
resistive current in the tank units.

INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The inlet cowl anti-ice system prevents ice formation on the engine inlet cowls.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A switch on the P5 forward overhead panel controls the operation of each inlet cowl
anti-ice system.
When the system is on, the inlet cowl thermal anti-ice (TAl) valve opens. Hot air from
the engine bleed air interstage duct goes through the valve into the inlet cowl spray
ring. The warm air increases the temperature in the inlet cowl. The warm air then goes
overboard through a vent at the bottom of the cowl.
Each engine is the source of its inlet cowl thermal anti-ice air. Thermal anti-ice air
is from the engine bleed air interstage duct, upstream of the pressure regulator and
shutoff valve.
An inlet cowl TAl pressure switch monitors the pressure in the duct downstream of the
inlet cowl anti-icing valve.
An inlet cowl TAl overheat switch monitors the temperature in the duct downstream of
the inlet cowl anti-icing valve.
The inlet cowl thermal anti-ice (TAl) valve controls the flow of air to the engine inlet
cowl.
The inlet cowl TAl valve is on the top of the engine fan case.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The inlet cowl anti-ice valve is an electrically controlled and pneumatically operated
butterfly valve.
When the control signal energizes the valve solenoid, the solenoid lets upstream duct
pressure go into the shutoff valve actuator.
When the shutoff valve opens, duct pressure goes to the actuator of the pressure
regulating valve.
PURPOSE
The inlet cowl thermal anti-ice (TAl) pressure switch monitors pressure in the inlet
cowl TAl duct downstream of the inlet cowl TAl valve.
LOCATION
The inlet cowl TAl pressure switch is on the inlet cowl TAl duct, downstream of the inlet
cowl thermal anti-ice valve.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
When the pressure at the sense port is more than 65 psi, the switch closes. This
enables the indicating light on the engine and wing anti-ice panel.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The shutoff valve closed position switch is in the closed position when the valve is
less than 6° open.
GENERAL
The shutoff valve open position switch is in the open position when the valve is more
than 84° open. The pressure regulating valve open position switch is in the open

systems are the same. The control and indications circuits for the inlet cowl thermal
anti-icing systems use 28V DC power.
OVERPRESSURE INDICATION
The switches and lights for the control and indication are on the engine and wing anti-
ice panel. When the inlet cowl TAl pressure switch operates, it causes these indications:
• Sends 28V DC to energize the control solenoid on the inlet cowl TAl valve. When the inlet cowl TAl over-temperature switch operates, it causes these lights to

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Hydraulic system A normally supplies pressure to the landing gear extension and
retraction. Hydraulic system B supplies pressure for retraction only.
GENERAL
The controls and indications for the landing gear system and nose wheel steering
system are in the flight compartment. There are no indications for the nose wheel
steering system.
CONTROLS
These are the controls for the nose wheel steering system in the flight compartment:
INDICATIONS
The green landing gear position lights and the auxiliary landing gear position lights
(optional) come on when the landing gear is down and locked. The red landing gear
position lights come on when the landing gear are not down and locked, up and
locked, or are in transition to up or down. All landing gear position lights are off when
the landing gear control lever is in the OFF position.
PURPOSE The 75 psi relief valve protects the compensator if the pressure increases to more
than 75 psi.
The main gear damper prevents too much vibration between the inner and outer
cylinders during high speed taxi and heavy brake use. The 3000 psi relief valve protects the piston if the pressure increases to more than
3000 psi.
LOCATION
TRAINING INFORMATION POINT
The body of the main gear damper attaches to the forward end of the upper torsion
link. The piston rod goes through the forward ends of the upper and lower torsion links. Use the three bleed plugs on the main gear damper to remove air inside when you
install a new damper.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
NOTE:
The main gear shimmy damper contains these components:

EQUIPMENT.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Vibration between the inner and outer cylinders causes the inner cylinder to rotate
inside the outer cylinder.
This causes the piston to move right and left again and again inside the main gear
damper body.
As the piston moves, hydraulic fluid moves through the damping orifices.
GENERAL
The main landing gear shock strut uses hydraulic fluid and compressed dry air or
nitrogen to control the shock strut action. The gas charging valve lets you pressurize
the shock strut. The oil charging valve permits hydraulic servicing of the shock strut.
The gas charging valve is on the inboard side of the main landing gear shock strut.
The oil charging valve is on the aft side of the main landing gear shock strut.
Obey this warning when you remove the air valve body on the shock strut:
WARNING:
DO NOT REMOVE THE VALVE BODY UNLESS YOU DEFLATE THE SHOCK
STRUT FULLY. THE AIR PRESSURE CAN BLOW THE VALVE BODY OUT AND
CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS.
NOTE:
Fluid in the shock strut will have bubbles when you release the pressure.
Deflate the shock strut slowly to prevent the leakage of the fluid through the
gas valve.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
The landing gear control system controls the main and nose landing gear extension
and retraction. The landing gear control system also supplies normal or alternate
hydraulic pressure to these systems:
The main landing gear extension and retraction system controls the two main landing
gear.
The nose landing gear extension and retraction system controls the nose landing
gear and supplies normal and alternate hydraulic pressure to the nose wheel steering
system.
The main landing gear manual extension system controls the manual extension of the

HYDRAULIC SUPPLY
Hydraulic system A normally supplies pressure to extend and retract the main landing
gear. The extend pressure from the landing gear extension and retraction system
supplies pressure for nose wheel steering.
The landing gear transfer valve changes the pressure supply of nose wheel steering
from hydraulic system A to hydraulic system B. You manually control the landing gear
transfer valve with the alternate nose wheel steering switch in the flight compartment.
These conditions cause the manual operation of the landing gear transfer valve:

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
ELECTRICAL
ROTARY ACTUATOR
The rotary actuator moves to the engage position when the R366 nose gear steering
relay energizes on the ground. The steering relay gets an aircraft on-ground signal
from R321 nose ground sensing relay.
The nose ground sensing relay removes the aircraft on ground signal from the steering
relay when the aircraft goes into the air. The steering relay moves to the air position
10 seconds after the nose on-ground signal goes away. This sends power to move the
rotary actuator to the disengage position.
When the aircraft is on the ground, and there is normal quantity in the hydraulic system
B reservoir, the landing gear transfer valve moves to the alternate position when you
move the alternate nose wheel steering switch on the P1 panel to the ALT position.
The position switch in the transfer valve sends a ground to the BITE in the landing
gear logic shelf when the valve moves to the alternate position.
You can use the BITE on the landing gear logic shelf to do a test of the landing gear
transfer valve operation.
TOWING
GENERAL
The steering depressurization valve lets you depressurize the nose wheel steering
system. Because of this, it is not necessary to depressurize hydraulic system A to tow
the aircraft.
The steering depressurization valve is on the right forward side of the nose landing
gear shock strut. You can use towbarless equipment to push or pull the aircraft.
OPERATION
The steering depressurization valve is spring-loaded to the off position. Push the
push-button in to the tow position. Put a pin in the pin hole in the valve to hold the push
button in the towing position.
If you tow the aircraft and turn the nose wheels more than 78°, you must disconnect
the torsion links. Use a support for the lower torsion link on the ground when you
disconnect it so you do not pull it across the ground. A red stripe on the outer part of
each nose landing gear door shows when the wheels are at 78°. When the tow bar
aligns with the red stripe, the wheels are at 78°.
If you tow the aircraft and turn the nose wheels more than 90°, you must disconnect
the taxi light wire bundle.
NOTE:
If it is possible, with two flat tyres on one main gear, you must replace one
of the flat tyres with a serviceable tyre before you tow to prevent damage to
the tyres and wheels.

COMPONENTS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
One safety sensor monitors the compression of the nose landing gear shock strut.
Two safety sensors monitor the compression of the right main landing gear shock
strut.
Sensor signals go to the landing gear logic shelf. Proximity switch cards in the logic
shelf, one for each safety sensor, process signals from the three sensors. The proximity
switch cards send signals to operate air/ground relays. Airplane systems use the air/
ground relays for aircraft air/ground inputs.
Two main landing gear safety sensors supply right main landing gear shock strut The ground safety sensor sends a signal to the ground sensing proximity switch in the

The sensor identification placards on the sensor bracket show the sensor number.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
A push-pull cable goes from the upper torsion link on the right main landing gear to
the bellcrank in the main gear wheel well. The bellcrank moves targets which operate
the safety sensors.
PURPOSE
The nose landing gear air safety sensor supplies a nose landing gear shock strut
position signal to the air/ground system.
LOCATION
The nose landing gear air safety sensor is on the lower area of the outer cylinder on
the right side of the nose landing gear. The target is on the right side of the upper
torsion link where the link attaches to the outer cylinder of the nose landing gear.
The sensor identification placard on the sensor bracket shows the sensor number.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The target moves near the sensor when the nose landing gear shock strut extends.
This sends a signal to the nose ground sensing proximity switch card in the landing
gear logic shelf when the aircraft is in the air.
LANDING GEAR LOGIC SHELF The sensing proximity switch cards in the landing gear logic shelf process signals
from the safety sensors and send air/ground signals to air/ground relays.
PURPOSE The landing gear logic shelf also does these functions:
The landing gear logic shelf does these functions for the air/ground system: • Landing gear position indication.
• Landing gear transfer valve control.
• Monitors the landing gear safety sensors. • Landing gear not down warning.
• Operates the air/ground relays. • Takeoff (aural) warning.

PURPOSE
The landing gear position indicating and warning system shows landing gear position
in the flight compartment. It also warns the pilots when the landing gear is not down
for a landing.
INPUTS
The landing gear position indicating and warning system uses these proximity sensors
to supply landing gear position data to the landing gear logic shelf:
The control lever position switch supplies lever position. The horn reset switch sends
a reset signal for aural warning. The auto-throttle mechanisms supply thrust lever
position data.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
These cards in the landing gear logic shelf process all of the inputs and sends signals
to the landing gear position lights and the aural warning module:
Three red landing gear position lights come on when the landing gear moves during
extension and retraction and during the gear not down warning.
PURPOSE
The position lights show the pilots the condition of the landing gear.
The control lever position switch provides a signal to the position indicating and
warning system when the landing gear lever moves to the down position.
LOCATION
The position lights are on the landing gear panel on the P2 centre instrument panel,
above the landing gear lever.
The control lever position switch is on the landing gear panel on the P2 centre
instrument panel in the flight compartment.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The green position lights come on when the landing gear moves to the down and
locked position.
The red position lights come on when the position of the control lever is not the same
as the position of the landing gear. The red lights also come on for the visual gear not
down warning.
There is a switch actuation cam on the forward end of the control lever. The cam
moves the lever down position switch to the closed position when the landing gear
lever moves to the down (ON) position.
The switch is open when the landing gear lever is in the UP and OFF positions.
PURPOSE
There is one main gear up and locked sensor on each main landing gear uplock
mechanism. They send main gear up and locked information to the landing gear
position indicating and warning system.
LOCATION
The sensors are on the aft sides of the MLG uplock mechanism and move with the
uplock hook.
The MLG up and locked sensor numbers are S72 for the left and S74 for the right.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The targets are near the sensors when the uplock mechanism moves to the uplock
position. This sends signals to the main gear up and locked proximity switch card in
the landing gear logic shelf when the main landing gear is up and locked.
The sensor wire electrical connectors are on the ceiling of the main landing gear
wheel well.
PURPOSE

APU ENGINE
GENERAL OPERATION
PURPOSE
The APU engine is a gas turbine that consists of a two-stage centrifugal compressor
directly coupled to a single-stage radial inflow turbine. The turbine shaft is geared to
the accessory drive section and provides power to drive the engine accessories and
the generator.
The APU air inlet provides air for combustion and cooling.
OPERATION
The APU air system consists of pneumatic, mechanical, and electrical components
which regulate the rate and maximum amount of bleed air that can be drawn from the
APU for use in the aircraft pneumatic system.
A fan driven by the accessory drive section supplies cooling air to the AC electrical
generator and lubricating oil cooler.
The APU engine fuel system delivers fuel from the aircraft tank 1 to the APU engine
where it is metered and delivered to the combustion chamber. The fuel system
regulates the fuel flow to maintain a constant speed.
The APU exhaust is a sound reducing system that directs the APU exhaust gases
overboard through an air cooled exhaust duct. A four-junction thermocouple is in the
exhaust for control and indication.
POWER PLANT
GENERAL
The APU power plant consists of the APU engine assembly. The APU can operate on
the ground or in-flight.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A titanium shroud encloses the APU engine completely. The air inlet supplies air for
the engine and for accessories cooling. Fuel flows through a shrouded line from fuel
tank 1 to a fitting on the upper shroud.
The APU supplies bleed air to the pneumatic system through a bleed valve.
A generator driven by the APU supplies electrical power to the electrical system.
COMPONENT OPERATION
Air enters through the air inlet door on the right side of the aft fuselage. The airflow
splits into two paths, one for the engine and another for the accessory cooling. The
cooling air exhausts overboard through an opening in the lower shroud.
Four exhaust cooling air intake holes cool the exhaust duct.
Access to the APU is through an access door that completely encloses the APU
compartment.

a skin, ribs, and stringers. The outside of the door forms to the contour of the fuselage.
POWERPLANT
SHROUD
PURPOSE
A titanium shroud encloses the APU engine. The shroud provides a fireproof and
sound reducing enclosure.
LOCATION
The shroud is in the APU compartment in the aft section of the fuselage.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The shroud consists of upper and lower sections. The upper section attaches to the
aircraft structure by four struts. The upper shroud supports the APU engine with three
mounts. The upper shroud contains these components:
POWERPLANT
SHROUD DRAINS
PURPOSE
The shroud drains provide a way to drain the unburned fuel from the engine and to
drain fuel or oil from the shroud if there is a leak inside the shroud.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
At the aft end of the shroud, a drain cup with a standpipe picks up the unburned fuel
that is discharged through the turbine exhaust port. Two fuel drain lines connect to
a fitting on the APU. The drain line ends at a fitting at the forward end of the shroud.
Through this fitting, fuel or oil drains from the shroud. Both fittings at the forward end
of the shroud mate with drain cups in the APU compartment access door. The drain
cups in the access door connect to the drain mast.
It is necessary to inspect the drains for deterioration due to corrosion. Blow compressed
air through the drain lines and cups to clean them.
Use extreme care not to damage the shroud drain lines when you handle the shroud.
POWERPLANT When the actuator has power, the push rods move the door to the open position.
Movement of the door deflects the flap on the vortex generator for improvement of air
flow into the inlet. When the door is fully open, the door switch operates. The switch
AIR INLET operation is part of the APU start cycle.
GENERAL
The air supply for the APU engine operation and accessory cooling comes through
the inlet duct.
LOCATION

POWERPLANT
MOUNTS
PURPOSE
The APU mounts support the APU engine and isolate the airframe from vibrations of
the APU engine.
LOCATION
Three mounts are inside the upper shroud. Two are on the right side and one is on
the left side.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Each engine mount consists of two brackets with a vibration isolator and a cap. The
vibration isolator is a resilient material bonded to a metal core in a tubular metal case.
Avoid any sideways movement of the APU over the last one inch of travel. This could
GENERAL cause the cooling air inlet duct seat to be misaligned with the cooling fan flange and
impair the cooling air system.
The auxiliary power unit is removed from the aircraft by a cradle assembly and two
hoist assemblies. The cradle assembly is a stable base for transportation and storage
of the APU.
The cradle assembly consists of a base made from aluminium angles with an
aluminium tube welded to the base. Attach plates on the ends of the tube provide
attachment points for the hoist assemblies. The APU attaches to the cradle assembly
by three quick-release pins. Two pins are on the forward mount and one pin at the aft
mount base.
The APU hoist assembly is of a tubular-type construction. The large end of the tube
mounts a hand driven gearbox and cable drum. The opposite end has a clevis and
pulley assembly. The clevis connects the hoist to one of the two eye bolts in the APU
cavity.
REMOVAL
To remove the APU, attach a cradle assembly to the APU, install two fishpole hoist to
the aircraft structure, and attach the fishpole hoist cables to the cradle assembly. The
fishpole hoist lowers the APU out of the aircraft.
To prepare for removal, open the APU access door and remove the lower shroud.
Remove equipment, electric connectors, and hoses. Disconnect the three engine
mounts after the cradle assembly and fishpole hoist take up the weight of the APU.
Lower the APU from the aircraft.
FUEL SYSTEM
GENERAL
PURPOSE
The APU fuel system supplies fuel from the aircraft fuel system to the APU fuel control
unit. The fuel control unit meters the fuel to meet load requirements.
LOCATION
The APU fuel shutoff valve is on the rear spar of fuel tank 1 in the left main wheel
well. The remaining fuel system components are on the APU engine and in the upper
shroud.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
OPERATION
Fuel from the tank goes to the fuel control unit through the fuel shutoff valve. The
fuel control unit supplies and regulates fuel flow to the combustion chamber. The
fuel control unit meters the fuel flow to maintain a constant speed and safe operation
temperature of the APU.
The fuel shutoff valve lets fuel go from the tank to the APU engine.
LOCATION
The valve is on the rear spar of fuel tank 1 in the left main wheel well.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The valve consists of an actuator assembly and a valve body assembly. An electric
motor operates the valve. The valve has a manual override handle.
CONTROL
The APU switch on the P5 panel and the protection circuits in the APU control unit
control the operation of the shutoff valve.
COMPONENT OPERATION
When you put the APU switch to the ON position, the shutoff valve opens. The shutoff
valve closes when any of these conditions occurs:
FUEL SYSTEM
FUEL HEATER
PURPOSE
LOCATION
The fuel heater and control valve with a temperature sensor is on the inside surface
of the upper shroud.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The heater is a tubular fuel/air heat exchanger. The control valve has a bimetallic
element to sense the fuel temperature and let bleed air go through the heater.
OPERATION
When the fuel temperature that goes through the valve decreases to 37°F (3°C), the
valve opens. This lets hot air from the APU bleed duct go through the heater and into
the shroud. When the fuel temperature increases to 64°F (18°C), the valve closes. A
check valve in the fuel line upstream of the heater keeps pressure in the fuel line. This
makes sure of a positive prime for starting. A second check valve in the air line keeps
fuel from the bleed air duct.
FUEL SYSTEM
GENERAL
The fuel pump and fuel control unit controls the fuel flow to the combustion chamber
during starting and normal operation.
LOCATION
The fuel pump and fuel control unit assembly is on the accessory drive section.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The fuel pump and fuel control unit consists of these components:
OPERATION
The fuel pump supplies fuel to the combustion chamber through the acceleration
limiter valve during starting. The TAFCU controls fuel flow during operation.
TIMED ACCELERATION FUEL CONTROL UNIT During acceleration, if the EGT is more than a reference temperature, the proportional
control valve (PCV) opens and bleeds control air from the ALV. This increases fuel
GENERAL bypass and decreases fuel flow to the combustion chamber. This decreases the EGT.
The timed acceleration fuel control unit (TAFCU) is a Hydro-mechanical fuel control.
COMPONENT LOCATION
The TAFCU connects to the APU fuel pump. The APU fuel pump drives the TAFCU.
The governor assembly consists of a flyweight carrier and governor flyweights that
turn within a chamber of the governor assembly fuel control housing. The chamber is
full of fuel.
The timer shaft attaches to the flyweight carrier that also turns within chamber A but
extends into chambers B and C.
The governor metering valve is free to slide up or down on the timer shaft. Fuel goes
through the metering orifice M from chamber A to bypass. The fuel returns to the
pump inlet as governor fuel bypass.
High pressure fuel from the pump goes through the delta-p valve and high pressure
filter, through chamber A and on to the combustion chamber.
When The APU is not running, the piston return spring pushes the accelerator piston
up which draws fuel through the return check valve and fills chamber B. The timer
shaft moves downward during acceleration at a controlled rate until 100% speed.
When it reaches the 100%, the piston bottoms out on an adjustment shoulder.
FUEL SYSTEM
FUEL FILTERS
GENERAL
Two fuel filters prevent contamination of the pump and fuel control unit.
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The filters are full-flow types with replaceable elements. The filter bowls house the
filters. The low pressure filter incorporates a bypass valve opening at a differential
pressure of 15 psi.
FUEL SYSTEM
PURPOSE
The valve lets fuel flow to the combustion chamber after the initial rotation of the APU.
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The valve operates open and close by a solenoid. The valve operates with 28V DC.
CONTROL
Protection circuits in the APU control unit and the sequencing oil pressure switch
control the valve operation.
OPERATION
The valve energizes open during the APU start when the sequencing oil pressure
switch closes when the oil pressure is 4 psig. The valve de-energizes when the APU
is shutdown normally or when an automatic protective shutdown occurs.
FUEL SYSTEM
FUEL SCHEMATIC
OPERATION SEQUENCE
When the APU fuel shutoff valve opens, fuel from the tank flows through the valve,
heater, and low pressure filter to the timed acceleration fuel control unit.
During the start sequence, when the sequencing oil pressure switch closes, the fuel
solenoid valve opens to let fuel flow to the combustion chamber. The acceleration
limiter valve controls the first 20% of the acceleration of the engine. The valve
references the control air pressure to fuel pressure. A diaphragm in the acceleration
limiter valve operates a bypass valve to bypass more or less fuel to maintain the
correct ratio of fuel flow to control pressure.
In the fuel control unit, the timed acceleration of the governor controls the acceleration
to the correct operating speed.
During acceleration, if the EGT is more than a reference temperature, the proportional
control valve (PCV) opens and bleeds control air from the acceleration limiter valve.
This increases fuel bypass, decreases fuel flow to the combustion chamber and this
decreases EGT.
When the APU operates at more than 95% RPM, the solenoid selector valve energizes
and the flyweights in the governor control the APU speed. The governor controls
fuel flow to match power demands. If the APU speed decreases due to loading, the
governor bypasses less fuel and lets more fuel to the combustion chamber to increase
the speed. If speed increases due to reduction in load, the governor increases fuel
bypass, decreases the fuel flow to the combustion chamber and decreases APU
speed.
When the APU shuts down, the fuel solenoid valve de-energizes. The fuel shutoff
valve closes only during normal shutdown or by action of the fire detection system
and fire handle operation.
FUEL SYSTEM
Attach a pressure gauge to the fuel line at the combustion chamber. Remove the cap
from the control-air pressure port on the fuel control unit. The compressor discharge
pressure line vents at the control unit to eliminate the influence of air pressure on
control spring force. The fuel pressure should be between 60 ± 5 psig when you motor
the APU engine. If the cracking pressure is less than 60 ± 5 psig, replace the timed
acceleration fuel control unit.
Operate the APU with the bleed valve closed and no electrical load. The generator
frequency should be 405 to 410 Hz. Adjust for the correct frequency by the governor
adjustment. Clockwise rotation increases the speed. Do not adjust the governor speed
more than 1/12 of a turn. The adjustment nut has six sides. Turn of the nut 1/6 of a
turn is one wrenching flat. 1/12 of a turn is half of a wrenching flat. This is a one time
adjustment of the governor. If it is necessary to adjust the governor more than 1/12 of
a turn, replace the timed acceleration fuel control unit.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
• Start switch.
• Starter.
• Start relay R5.
• Ignition exciter.
• Igniter plug.
• Control circuits.
LOCATION
The starter, ignition exciter, and igniter plug are on the APU engine. The starter relay
R5 is in the electronic equipment compartment on the right aft side of the E3 rack.
The starter switch and indication light are on the P5 panel in the flight compartment.
SYSTEM INTERFACES
GENERAL
The above components control the supply of fuel, the starter, and the ignition.
During the start sequence, the air inlet door moves to the full open position. A signal
from the APU control unit goes through the 50% speed switch and energizes the
starter. At 10% RPM when the oil pressure gets to 4 psig, the sequencing oil pressure
switch closes.
This lets the fuel solenoid valve and ignition systems energize. If there is fuel and
ignition, the APU accelerates. At 37% RPM when the oil pressure gets to 55 psig, the
low oil pressure (LOP) switch opens and turns off the LOP light in the flight deck. At
50% RPM, the starter is de-energized.
This removes power from the R5 relay and the APU starter. If the APU does not get to
50% RPM in 90 seconds, an automatic APU shut-down occurs. The shut-down circuit
does these functions:
• Opens R5.
• Closes the fuel solenoid valve.
• Removes power from the ignition circuits.
IGNITION AND START SYSTEM You must identify the electrical leads with the corresponding starter terminals to
prevent cross wiring. Crossed wires may result in damage to APU components when
you do an APU start.
STARTER
PURPOSE
The starter provides the initial power to turn the APU compressor, turbine, and engine-
driven accessories to a speed sufficient to get good airflow for combustion.
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
• Electrical motor.
• Internal friction clutch.
• Engagement mechanism.
The power for the starter is 28V DC from the battery or external DC power connection.
OPERATION
The starter energizes by the APU start switch after the APU fuel shutoff valve and air
inlet door are open. It continues to drive the APU until the 50% RPM speed switch or
a 90-second timing circuit disconnects the power supply to the starter.
MONITOR
The DC ammeter on the P5 panel in the flight compartment monitors the starter
operation.
IGNITION EXCITER
PURPOSE
The ignition exciter provides the high voltage to produce the spark at the igniter plug.
LOCATION
POWER
OPERATION
The exciter energizes during APU starting by the sequencing oil pressure switch. The
exciter de-energizes when the APU gets to 95% RPM.
WARNING:

SURGE BLEED VALVE
PURPOSE The surge bleed valve prevents compressor surge during APU operation.
The APU air system does these functions: SELECTOR SOLENOID VALVE
• Cools the APU accessories.
• Provides bleed air for the aircraft pneumatic system. The selector valve connects the proportional control valve to the acceleration limiter
• Helps control APU operation. valve or to the bleed valve.
LOCATION
The cooling system is on top of the upper shroud. The bleed air valve is in the bleed
duct on the aft side of the APU compartment forward bulkhead. The proportional
control valve is on the bottom of the turbine case aft of the solenoid selector valve. The
surge bleed valve is on the turbine plenum on the right side of the APU. The selector
solenoid valve is on the lower right side of the APU below the surge bleed valve.
The cooling air system consists of a cooling duct with a valve that is operated by an
actuator. Part of the air that goes into the APU compartment cools the generator and
oil.
This air goes through the valve which is open when APU operates. A gearbox-driven
fan helps the cooling air flow.
During APU operation, air from the compressor section supplies air to the pneumatic
system through the bleed valve.
AIR SYSTEM A viewing tube and cap is downstream of the valve. You must move the horizontal
stabilizer to the full up position to get access to the viewing tube cap. You look down
the viewing tube to do a check that the cooling air inlet screen is clean.
COOLING AIR VALVE
PURPOSE
The cooling air valve lets air flow through the cooling air inlet duct during APU operation
for the generator and the oil cooler. The valve also isolates the APU compartment for
fire protection.
LOCATION
The valve and actuator are in the cooling duct above the upper shroud.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Air supply for the actuator operation is from the bleed duct upstream of the bleed
valve through a check valve and filter.
ACCESS
Access to the valve and actuator is through an access door immediately forward of
the APU compartment and through a rectangular opening in the horizontal web above
the upper shroud.
OPERATION
During APU start when the compressor bleed pressure increases to 7 psi, the actuator
operates and moves the butterfly valve to the open position.
During APU stop the compressor pressure decreases and the valve closes.
PURPOSE
The bleed air valve controls the bleed air flow from the APU to the pneumatic system.
LOCATION
The valve is in the bleed air duct on the aft side of the APU compartment forward
bulkhead.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
• Butterfly valve.
• Actuator.
• Rate control valve.
• Switcher valve and solenoid.
POWER
CONTROL
AIR SYSTEM
OPERATION
When the solenoid is energized, air upstream of the butterfly valve goes through the
filter and regulator assembly and switch valve to chamber C of the valve.
Chamber D vents through the switcher valve. As the butterfly valve opens, upstream
pressure decreases and chamber B pressure decreases faster then chamber A
pressure because of the restrictor. The differential pressure acts on the diaphragm
and opens the rate control valve.
If high EGT occurs, the proportional control valve opens. Air partially vents from
chamber C. The valve modulates towards the closed position.
When the solenoid is de-energized, control air pressure goes to chamber D. This
causes chamber C to vent and the butterfly valve closes.
AIR SYSTEM
PURPOSE
The bleed air valve controls the bleed air flow from the APU to the pneumatic system.
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Two clamps hold the bleed air valve to the bleed air duct.
PURPOSE
The differential air pressure regulator provides constant pressure air supply for
operation of the bleed valve.
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
• Air inlet.
• Filter.
• Spring-loaded diaphragm.
• Metering valve.
• Relief valve.
OPERATION
The APU supplies compressor discharge pressure to the regulator. The metering
valve restricts the output to 19 psig independent of ambient conditions.
ADJUSTMENT/TEST
AIR SYSTEM
The time to open the valve is 12 to 14 seconds. To do a check of the opening rate,
operate the APU, move the air conditioning pack valve switch to HIGH, and open the
bleed valve. The duct pressure should occur within 12 to 14 seconds. Adjust the valve
with an allen screw on the valve. Clockwise movement increases the time.
AIR SYSTEM
PURPOSE
The proportional control valve limits fuel flow during acceleration and ensures that the
APU delivers the maximum amount of bleed air without overloading. The electronic
temperature control (ETC) unit controls the valve.
LOCATION
The proportional control valve is on the bottom of the turbine case aft of the solenoid
selector valve.
OPERATIONAL
The proportional control valve is normally spring loaded open. When the ETC
energizes, by the bias closed input to the torque motor driver, closes the valve. As the
bias is overcome by EGT the valve opens. Air flow through the dual ports on either
side flows out with the exhaust.
AIR SYSTEM
PURPOSE
The selector valve connects the proportional control valve to the acceleration limiter
valve or to the bleed valve.
LOCATION
The valve is on the lower right side of the APU below the surge bleed valve.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
CONTROL.
OPERATION
AIR SYSTEM
PURPOSE
The surge bleed valve prevents compressor surge during APU operation.
LOCATION
The valve is on the turbine plenum on the right side of the APU.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The solenoid operates the valve to the closed or open position. The surge valve uses
28V DC when the APU operates above 95% RPM.
CONTROL
The position of the bleed valve and AIR/GND switch controls the open and close of
the surge bleed valve.
OPERATION
The surge bleed valve is always closed on the ground. During flight, the valve is open
if the bleed valve is closed, and the valve is closed when the bleed valve is open.
To do a check of the surge valve operation, the APU must operate. Open the LANDING
GEAR LIGHTS circuit breaker on the P6 panel, this breaker controls AIR/GRD relay.
An increase in air flow from the APU accessory cooling air exhaust is an indication
the surge vale operates.
AIR SYSTEM
GROUND OPERATION
The surge bleed valve is always closed when the APU operates on the ground.
IN-FLIGHT OPERATION
During flight, the surge bleed valve is open if the APU bleed valve is closed. The surge
bleed valve is closed if the APU bleed valve is open.
CONTROL
The bleed valve switch and R38 air-ground relay control the surge bleed valve.
OPERATION SEQUENCE
When the APU gets to 95% RPM, the proportional control valve (PCV) connects
to the bleed valve and the APU bleed switch is armed. The bleed switch in the ON
position energizes the bleed valve solenoid and the valve opens. As air is taken from
the APU, the APU maintains speed by the speed governor with more fuel. If the EGT

SPEED SWITCH
PURPOSE
LOCATION
The speed switch is in the aft passenger cabin compartment in the ceiling.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The speed switch is in a hermetically sealed case. The case contains solid state
electronic circuits and relays.
The EGT T/C assembly sends the ETC two EGT signals. The ETC compares the
CONTROLS two signals and uses the highest value for EGT control. The EGT probe assembly
junctions are in parallel, so that loss of a set of TC junctions will not affect operations.
ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL Loss of both EGT signals to the ETC causes the ETC to clamp the PCV T/M driver.
This lets the PCV open and bleed control air from the ALV or BAV actuator.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The PCV is a normally open, electrically closed valve. The ETC decreases the control
signal from the PCV T/M driver to let the PCV open and bleed control air from the
GENERAL system if EGT is more than the control limits. The ETC has an external adjustment

are then used to control EGT during acceleration and load conditions.
If the PCV does not close as commanded or if it leaks, slow or hung starts could occur.
If it does not open, EGT over-temperature could occur. If both sets of EGT junctions
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION fail on the EGT probe assembly during APU start, a hung start may occur. If they fail
during ECS or MES modes, the BAV closes and APU bleed air will not be available.
The ETC bleeds air from the acceleration limiter valve (ALV) through the proportional
control valve (PCV) to provide acceleration EGT control. The ETC controls PCV
torque motor (T/M) current to maintain a constant EGT during acceleration. After
the APU is more than 95%, the solenoid selector valve changes from the ALV to the
bleed air valve (BAV). The ETC then controls EGT by control of PCV T/M current to let
control air bleed from the BAV actuator to decrease the bleed load on the APU. This
decreases EGT.
The ETC on-speed control logic provides for two operational modes, environmental
control system (ECS) and main engine start (MES). In the ECS mode, the ETC allows
small EGT changes for operation of the ECS. In the MES mode, the ETC allows larger
EGT changes for aircraft engine start.

calibration is from 0°C to 850°C with green, orange, and red operation bands.
EGT INDICATION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
During APU operation, the thermocouples are heated by the exhaust gas. The
thermocouples generate electrical power when heated. The electrical power is equal
to the temperature difference between the APU exhaust and ambient temperature
at the indicator. The indicator changes the electrical signal to true APU exhaust gas
temperature and compensates for ambient temperature changes at the indicator.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The APU control unit receives 28V DC from the battery bus or the switched hot battery
bus through the APU GCU. This power connects directly to the ETC power supply and
the APU air inlet door position switch. The APU door must be full open to energize the
enable circuit.
The enable circuit lets power go to the APU speed switch when these are true:
The ETC controls EGT by control of the proportional control valve (PCV). At 95% the
speed switch closes and the ETC controls EGT by bleed air load control through the
PCV. The ETC receives electric signals from the EGT thermocouples.

OIL TANK
PURPOSE
The oil tank contains the supply of oil for the APU lubrication system.
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
An air/oil separator is in the tank. The tank is vented to the turbine exhaust. Oil quantity
is 1.5 US gallons (5.7 litres).
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE PRACTICE
To service the oil tank, you must open the APU access door. To measure the oil level,
remove the filler cap and us the dipstick. If the oil level is below the FULL mark, add
oil until the level is at the full mark on the dipstick. The line of sight access door helps
to see the servicing during addition of oil.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
OIL PUMP
PURPOSE
The oil pump supplies oil under pressure for lubrication of APU gearbox and bearing
and it scavenges the oil back to the tank.
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
OPERATION
During APU operation, the pressure pump draws oil from the tank and supplies it
through the filter for the lubrication of the APU engine. The scavenge pump returns
the oil to the oil tank.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
OIL FILTER
PURPOSE
The oil filter cleans the oil that goes from the pressure pump.
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The replaceable filter element is in a removable case that screws into the base of the
oil pump.
CAUTION:
DO NOT OVER TORQUE THE OIL FILLER CAP. DAMAGE TO THE OIL FILTER
CAP CAN OCCUR.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
PURPOSE

pressure before combustion occurs during the APU start.
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The switch uses 28V DC power whenever the APU switch on the P5 panel is in the
ON position.
OPERATION
During APU start, when the oil pressure increases, the switch closes at 4 psig. When
the switch closes, it provides 28V DC to the fuel solenoid valve and the ignition exciter.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
PURPOSE
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The switch uses 28V DC power whenever the APU switch on the P5 panel is in the
ON position.
OPERATION
During APU start, when oil pressure increases, the switch opens at 55 psig and
removes power from the LOW OIL PRESSURE light on the P5 panel. If during APU
operation, the pressure decreases to 45 psig, the switch closes and provides power
for the LOW OIL PRESSURE light and shuts down the APU.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
OIL COOLER
PURPOSE
The oil cooler gives the necessary cooling for the engine oil during APU operation.
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
OPERATION
The scavenge pump supplies the oil to the oil cooler before the oil goes back to the
oil tank. A fan supplies cooling air through the tubes and removes the heat from the
oil. The cooling air goes into the APU shroud where it flows around the accessory
gearbox and then goes overboard through the shroud and APU access door.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
PURPOSE
The pressure pump delivers the oil from the oil tank through the filter to the accessory
gear drive to cool and lubricate the gears and to the bearings on the compressor and
turbine sections of the APU. The scavenge pump scavenges the oil and delivers it to
the oil cooler. The oil cooler uses air to cool the oil. The oil then returns to the oil take.
The pressure relief valve controls the oil pressure at a constant 90 psi. If the filter is
blocked, a bypass valve opens at 50 psid and allows flow through the system. The
scavenge cavity and the oil tank vents to the APU exhaust.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
PURPOSE
The oil quantity level switch transmits the low oil quantity signal to the APU control
unit.
LOCATION
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The switch is a float type in a housing. The switch uses 28V DC power whenever the
APU switch on the P5 panel is in the ON position.
