PT6 Prop Governor Operational Principles
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 гру 2023
- This video addresses general operational principles that apply to all aircraft propellers as well as specific characteristics of constant speed propeller designs and the specific operational principles of the PT6 propeller governor system. These systems are utilized on Beechcraft 1900, Starship, King Air C90, B200, B300, Pilatus PC21, PC12, PC 9, PC 7, PC 6, Air Tractor AT 400, AT 502, AT 602, AT 802, Cessna 208 Caravan, Shorts 360, T6A Texan II, and many others.
This is the best Prop system explanation I have seen! 🎉 Exceptional!!
Thank you. I am glad it was helpful!
Very educational and nice graphics. This channel was quickly shortlisted as important.
Thank you!
Very good!
Making this informative video must have taken a lot of work and time.
Thank you!
You are welcome, I hope you have found it helpful.
the P T stands for Papyrus Typeface
nice
I'm an "OLD" A/P mechanic and wished I had this animation and clear explanation back in tech school, it would have saved me a lot of OJT time. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thank you, I feel the same way. That is why I started doing this.
That’s what I was looking for so much time. I was wondering why some pilots told me that the FTG on PT6 works only when the primary and secondary TG failed and that’s didn’t make sense for me due to so many info finding in websites, however none explanation (text) really help to understand like this video. I will keep waiting for more videos like this, thanks.
You are very welcome. I am glad that it was helpful.
My God! Such a cool video. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Best video on this I've seen.
Thank you
Adding the complexity layer by layer makes so much more sense than throwing a full system diagram up at once.
Brilliant video and channel
Thank you very much!
Exceptional video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant Video
thank you
perfect explanation, thanx
thank you
May want to check the theory behind aerodynamic twisting and centrifugal twisting. Happy to be educated but normally aerodynamic twisting goes to coarse and centrifugal twisting pitches to fine
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. It is true that these forces could move in either direction depending on how the manufacture places the pivot attachment and CG of the propeller. The easiest way to determine the direction of these forces is to examine how the counterweight is mounted. If the counterweight is mounted toward or built into the leading edge of the airfoil, its purpose is to move the CG forward. A forward CG will act to pull the propeller to course pitch. This is why many POH and maintenance manuals talk about the counterweights moving the propeller toward feather or course pitch. Alternatively, you could evaluate the mounting point of the propeller blade to the propeller hub. Typically, propeller blades are attached forward of the center point because the increasing camber allows more room to create a sufficiently secure attachment point. If this is the case, there will be more surface area aft of the pivot point and aerodynamic twisting will move the blade toward fine pitch. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the PIC to know the details of their unique aircraft systems. The purpose of this presentation is to present general principles that can be applied to most systems but there will always be outliers.
FCU video next please!
FCU is on the list, hopefully I should have it out in the next couple of months.
This is the best explanation.Could you create a movie how work FCU (Fuel Control Unit) PT6? Please.
Thank you, I am currently working on an FCU explanation. Watch for it in the coming months.
Hellor sir, this is very big help for me becase im not good at english and having difficulties reading on MM. I hope you make another helpful vieos like this. Maybe you can make video for fuel system for pt6 engine also and oil system. Thank you so much
Thank you for your comments. I plan to produce a series of videos that cover all of the systems of various aircraft including the fuel and oil systems.
