onvert 1&5 to -. 30 What is a +D #onstant +eed Drive%? omonent that converts the variable 6M roduced by the engine to a constant 6M for the generator. What is a TE? Transformer E ectifier What does the Transformer Transformer E ectifier do? Transforms 113v to &=v and ectifies A to D ower. Why do aircraft use A ower? Allows smaller smaller motors and wires wires thereby reducing weight due to the the higher voltage and low current of the A system. What is a battery for on an aircraft? AE bac2u in the the event of generator failure of when when the generators are inoerative. inoerative. What is the urose of a slat? High"energy air flows from under the wing to energize the boundary layer which then delays a stall to a higher angle of attac2 than would normal. Why do some aircraft have two sets of ailerons? -or increased maneuverability during slow seed flight. When are outboard ailerons designed to wor2? 5utboard ailerons are designed to wor2 at slower seeds for increased controllability and maneuverability' maneuverability' but the mechanization on latforms may differ. What is the function of a fuse lug? 6revent tire blowout. What is a cabin outflow valve? The valve that allows internal ressure to escae' thereby controlling aircraft ressurization. The valve is oen on the ground gradually closes on a schedule as the aircraft climbs. What does mean in a M/TA? Maintenance needed on the system. What is an AM? Air ycle Machine Machine #AM% How does an Air ycle Machine wor2? An air cycle machine machine mi(es both hot and cold air to regulate regulate the temerature temerature of the cabin. Jefore the air is cooled' it is routed through the rimary heat e(changer to be cooled by outside air. The air then flows to the air cycle machine comressor. The comressor increases both air ressure and temerature. The air then goes to secondary heat e(changer and is cooled again. The air is then directed to the AM turbine resulting in even more heat loss as it hels to ower the turbine and in doing so it e(ands losing more heat. ,astly' the now cold air is routed to a water searator that removes moisture rior to the air entering the cabin. $t is at this oint that the air mi( valve regulates the flow of both hot and cold air to maintain the desired temerature. What are the uroses of a hydraulic hydraulic accumulator?

How is an aircraft ressurized? The air conditioning ac2s' for the most art' continuously um air into the aircraft:s cabin. The cabin outflow valve will vent all ressure in e(cess of a reset value. What is the urose of the fuelEoil heat e(changer? The fuelEoil heat e(changer cools engine oil and can aid in heating fuel to revent ice formation. What is the urose of the cabin outflow valve? The urose of the outflow valve is to vent or release all ressure above a reset amount allowing control of cabin differential differential ressure. What is anti"s2id used for? Aid bra2ing in wet' wet' icy or otherwise otherwise sliery runway runway conditions. How does anti"s2id wor2? The anti s2id system monitors each wheels deceleration. $f one slows too raidly' the system reduces bra2e ressure to that wheel until its rate of deceleration is normal. no rmal. Anti"s2id Anti"s2id systems are normally automatically automatically disabled below about &9mh I )9 mh so that the aircraft can be stoed.
