The FUEL EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF switches cut the fuel flow (and the
fire T-handles) cut all fuel flow to an engine. The engine might operate
for up to a minute on the fuel remaining in the feed lines.
The FUEL LOW caution light illuminates when the centre tank holds
less than 220 pounds. The FUEL FEED warning light will illuminate
when there is less the 50 pound left in the centre tank.
Hydraulic Power System
Hydraulic power is used to power the landing gear, nose wheel
steering and the flaps. It is supplied on demand by the electrical
hydraulic pump. The pump does not provide enough pressure to
operate flaps and gear at the same time at normal rate.
CAUTION: The hydraulic pump needs a 3 minute cool down period
after extensive use (5 minutes of nosewheel steering or three consecu-
tive gear or flap cycles.
A green hydraulic indicator light on the center pedestal will be lit
when the hydraulic pump is activated. An amber warning light
illuminates when pressure is too low for normal operation.
Oil System
Each engine has its own independent dry sump oil system. The oil
system will provide engine lubrication, provide pressure for the
propeller control system and will serve as an additional cooling system
using a ram-air cooler. When the gear is extended the oil cooler doors
are mechanically opened to provide greater cooling capacity during
ground operations.
