How does the hydraulic overspeed governor (HOG)work?
The HOG speeder spring tension is set to oppose the flyweight at a speed of 1802 RPM. If the propeller speed increases above 1802 oil is released from the prop dome, which causes the prop blade to move to a coarser pitch preventing further overspeed.

Power levers change the position of the low pitch stop
What happens when you move the power levers?
The speeder spring on the N1 governor in the FCU is reset, which causes the FCU to increase, or decrease the fuel flow.
What happens when you move the prop levers?
Pilot indirectly controls the pilot valve by resetting the speeder spring withing the range of 1395-1700 RPM.
What happens when you move the prop levers rearward?
The pilot valve moves up, allowing oil to be removed from the dome, moving the blade angle to a coarser pitch.
What are the limits of the fuel topping governor?
In the ALPHA and BETA range, the fuel topping gov is set to 106% of the primary gov. In reverse range, the gov is reset to 96% of the primary gov.
Why is the fuel topping gov reset to 96% of the primary gov, in reverse?
To maintain an underspeed condition, which ensures that the prop will remain on the low-pitch stop.
What will happen if the primary gov control linkage were to fail?
An external spring on top of the gov will move the gov to a set speed of 1700 RPM
How does the Autofeather system work?
With AFX in ARM, when power levers are advanced above 90% N1, with torques above 1000ft-lbs, the power lever quadrant microswitches close. This illuminates the L/R AFX annunciator lights
What happens if the torque drops below 1000 ft-lbs and AFX is armed? And continues to fall below 350 ft-lbs?
The opposite engine AFX system is deactived. Below 350ft-lbs the associated AFX dump valve is powered to ground. IT will open and release oil from dome and will feather prop.

The power quadrant microswitches are overridden.
When a propeller has autofeathered, what annunciator light changes occur?
The L/R AUTO FEATHER and AFX annunciators extinguish and the AFX DISABLE annunciator illuminates.

How is the collector tank filled?
From the main tank by gravity feed and two jet transfer pumps
What powers the firewall shutoff valves?
The hot battery bus or the opposite generator bus
How does the purge tank operate?
The tank pressurizes with P3 air when the engine is operating. During shutdown, pressure is released to push the remaining fuel into the manifold.

What happens if the L/R NO AUX XFR annunciator illuminates, but fuel is in the AUX tank?
Fuel is not transferring from the AUX tank to the collector tank.
What should the pilot do if the above situation is encountered?
