P-3C HAZARDS AND AREAS AROUND THE ENGINE ARE:
(1) PROPELLER AREA |
The propeller arc is considered a hazardous area. Personnel and equipment should be kept clear. When working on or in close proximity to any aircraft propellers, never walk directly through any propeller arc. The area between the fuselage and the number 2 or 3 propeller is considered a propeller arc hazard area and should be avoided.

|
|
|
|

|
P-8A HAZARDS AND AREAS AROUND THE ENGINE ARE:
(1) ENGINE INLET SUCTION AREA: |
Personnel must stay a safe distance from the inlet when an engine is running. Getting too close to an engine inlet could result in serious injury or damage to equipment. When personnel are near a running engine, loose items must be secured to prevent possible engine damage caused by ingestion. During engine operation, there is sufficient suction at the inlet cowl to pull an individual into the engine inlet. Fatal injury could result.

P-8A HAZARDS AND AREAS AROUND THE ENGINE ARE:
(2) ENGINE EXHAUST AREA |
When the engines are running, the force and heat of the exhaust air extends far behind the aircraft. The force from exhaust air can blow over individuals and vehicles on the flight line, causing injury or damage. The exhaust area increases as the engines spool up from idle to takeoff power.

|
are installed as a group on top of the center console at the left end at the flight station and the copilot levers are similarly grouped at the right end. Corresponding pilot and copilot levers are coupled by a torque tube so that movement of either lever results in identical movement of its counterpart. The levers for any engine can be moved without moving those for other engines.
|
|
|
|
P-8A WHAT TYPE OF ENGINE DOES IT USE, AND HOW MANY ARE THERE
|
The P-8A uses two CFM56-7B engines. The engine is a dual-rotor, axial-flow turbofan. The N1 rotor consists of a fan, a low-pressure compressor and a low-pressure turbine. The N2 rotor consists of a high-pressure compressor and a high-pressure turbine.

P-8A ENGINE POWER LEVER SYSTEMS
|
Each engine has individual flight deck controls. Thrust is set by positioning the thrust levers. The thrust levers are positioned automatically by the autothrottle system or manually by the flight crew. The forward thrust levers control forward thrust from idle to maximum. The reverse thrust levers control thrust from reverse idle to maximum reverse.

TRUE
|
|
|
|
P-3C TRUE OR FALSE
FOR GROUND IDLE AND REVERSE THE PROPELLER BLADES CAN BE A POSITIONED TO PROVIDE ZERO OR NEGATIVE THRUST. |
TRUE
|
|
|
|
WHAT DOES "FEATHER" MEAN
|
Meaning the blades are laid flat with airstream to minimze drag in event the engine is shutdown inflight.
|
|
|
|
P-3C HOW MANY FUEL TANKS ARE THERE, AND HOW ARE THEY NUMBERED.
|
They are numbered from left t0 right. 1, 2, 3, 4, there is a 5 tank and its the auxiliary fuel tank.
|
|
|
|
P-3C WHAT IS CROSS FEED SYSTEM
|
Fuel can be supplied from any tank to any engine.
|
|
|
|
P-3C TRUE OR FALSE
WHEN THE APU IS RUNNING, FUEL IS NORMALLY SUPPLIED FROM MAIN TANK NO.1 |
FALSE
When the APU is running, fuel is normally supplied from main tank NO.2 |
|
|
|
P-8A HOW ARE THE FUEL TANKS DIVIDED
|
Into five fuel tank groups (Main 1, Main 2, Center, Forward Tank Group, and Aft Tank Group) and two surge tanks.
|
|
|
|
P-8A WHAT TANK SUPPLIES THE FUEL TO THE APU
|
Main tank NO.1
|

|
|
P-3C FUEL SYSTEMS
|
(1) The fuel system contains four integral wing fuel tanks (1-4), each feeding fuel to their respective engine and an auxiliary fuselage fuel tank (5). The auxiliary fuselage fuel tank consists of two separate interconnected fuel tanks, one of which is the integral wing center section fuel tank and the other a bladder cell fuel tank in the fuselage. Fuel is transferred from the auxiliary fuel tank to the engine feed fuel tanks providing additional fuel for engine feed.
