Passenger Oxygen Valve Selector .............................................. NORMAL


Placing the passenger oxygen valve in the normal position will allow
automatic deployment of the passenger oxygen masks should the cabin
altitude exceed 10,000 feet during flight.

2.

Oxygen Pressure................................................................ APPROPRIATE


Minimum oxygen pressure with no passengers on board is 700 psi,
assuming the flight stays under 10,000 feet altitude. This minimum covers
the consumption requirements of each crewmember for two hours. It is
recommended that if passengers are carried, the oxygen system be fully
charged to its capacity. This is especially true if the flight is planned over
oceanic areas or over desolate terrain. The aircraft performance manual can
be used as reference as to the minimum pressure required for execution of a
mission with passengers and is based on the following assumptions:
The flight is being flown either above or below 41,000 feet. If flying
above 41,000 feet, one of the pilots must breathe oxygen.
An emergency descent to 10,000 feet is made with all occupants of the
aircraft breathing oxygen on NORMAL.
Further flight is conducted at 10,000 feet or below with one passenger
using first aid oxygen.

If either battery temperature reaches 150F or


160F on aircraft SN 132 and subsequent, and the
red HOT BAT lights are on, the battery must be
turned off, monitored while it cools, and replaced
prior to takeoff.

NOTE
On the average, the rate of battery cooling on the
ground is 1F per minute.
2.

Battery Voltages........................................................................ CHECKED


Minimum battery voltage for APU start is 23 volts and 22 volts for main
engine start.

3.

*HRZN Battery Voltage ........................................................... CHECKED


The standby horizon battery voltage test button is located beneath the
left voltmeter on the overhead panel. The reading should be 24
volts minimum.
If the No. 2 emergency battery is installed, its voltage should be checked,
and the reading should be 24 volts as well.

4.

Bus-Tied Switch ................................................................................. TIED


This rotary switch controls the bus tie relay, which in turn controls the BUS
TIED light on the master warning panel. The switch is placed in the tied
position to tie the left and right main DC buses together for engine start.

5.

Park Brake/No. 2 Park Brake Light .............................. SET/ON STEADY


Pull the parking brake handle to the first detent, hesitate, and then, using
three fingers, release the first detent lock and pull the parking brake
handle to the second detent. This technique is recommended for all
parking brake handle operations to preclude pulling the parking brake
handle through the first detent when emergency stopping is required
during landing or taxi operations. The No. 2 position allows 2,175 psi of
No. 2 hydraulic system pressure to be applied to the brakes for holding
the aircraft in position. The No. 2 position is recommended for use after
the aircraft is brought to a complete stop. The No. 1 position of the
parking brake handle applies 800 psi of the No. 2 hydraulic system
pressure to the brakes and is not recommended for holding the aircraft.
The #2 P BK light should be on and steady. If the light is flashing, there
is less than 1,200 psi remaining in the parking brake accumulator, and is
not sufficient for holding the parking brakes. Until the APU or another
source of electrical power is available to the aircraft, the aircraft should
be chocked until electrical power other than the batteries is available.
When other electrical power is available, use the standby hydraulic pump
to charge the No. 2 hydraulic system, and reset the parking brake handle
to the No. 2 position after the #2 P BK light stops flashing.

APU Start Switch (1 Second)................................................ DEPRESSED


Do not hold the APU start pushbutton in for more than 1 second. The
holding coil, if operating properly, should hold the starter engaged
through the start sequence. The starter will stay engaged to 50% N1. The
OIL light should extinguish by 60% N1. The GEN light should extinguish
at 97% N1 + 4 seconds, signifying the generator is on line. If the green
APU master light should start blinking after the start button is pushed,
one of the start interlock circuit requirements may not have been satisfied
or the APU may shut down for activation of a protective circuit.

APU N1-T5 IndicatorsAPU Generator Volts/Amps.............. CHECKED


After the APU is on speed and the generator has gone out, check that the
APU voltage output is 28.5 volts. The amperage draw will normally peg
out at the maximum of 350 amps. If desired, it may be advisable to turn
off one of the batteries to ease the demand on the APU generator until the
charge draw for the battery being charged is less than 75 amps. Then, the
other battery may be turned on for charging. Closely monitor the battery
charging and the APU generator load before proceeding further on the
checklist. The load demand on the APU should be at 300 amps or less
before performing an engine start.

CAUTION
Discontinue start (STOP PUSHBUTTON) if ITT
does not rise within 10 seconds. Wait 5 minutes prior
to attempting a second start.
5.

APU Bleed-Air Switch...................................................... AS REQUIRED


It is recommended that a 1-minute minimum waiting period be observed
before turning on the APU bleed. If possible, wait until both batteries have
charged to less than a 50-amp draw per battery. All these actions help
preserve the life of the APU, which can be placed under some high
demands when powering up for the first flight of the day. The
23-amp-hour batteries can be subjected to some very high loads when first
turned on, if certain equipment items have not been turned off.

Cabin Pressure Controller............................................. PROG OR FL/SET


The automatic pressure controller, located on the bottom right of the
engine instrument panel, is normally selected to the PROG position for
automatic operation of the pressurization system. Barometric setting
should be adjusted to the local altimeter setting. The landing airfield
altitude can be set if the landing airfield elevation is within 1,000 feet of
the takeoff airfield elevation. Otherwise, it is recommended to leave the
departure airfield altitude set until descent is begun from altitude for
landing at the destination airfield, in conjunction with accomplishment of
the Descent checklist. This is especially true when takeoff is made from
high-elevation airports like Denver and the flight is to lower elevations like
New York, or vice versa. In such a situation, the pressurization system is
more compatibly set up in case of an emergency return.
If the FL mode is used, the automatic programming feature is disabled.
The crew must set the flight level to which a clearance to climb is
received, and must continue to do so each time such a climb clearance is
received. When descending, the controller must be switched over to the
landing mode, and the landing elevation must be set for the descent.

Check the No. 1 brakes simultaneously, and gently depress the left and
right brake pedals until the green L and R lights come on. The lights
indicate that a hydraulic pressure of at least 225 psi is being applied to the
brakes. A slight feedback of pressure should also be felt in the brake
pedals. Maximum pressure delivered to the brakes is as follows:
1,595 psi for aircraft SNs 1, 75 and subsequent, and those with AMDBA SB F900-42 incorporated
2,175 psi for aircraft SNs 2 through 74, except for those with
AMD-BA SB F900-42 incorporated
Check the No. 2 brakes individually, and gently depress the L and R brake
pedals until each brake pedal is depressed enough to illuminate the #2 BK
light. Release one brake check before checking the other brake. This light
illuminates when the hydraulic pressure to the No. 2 brakes is at least 225
psi. A slight feedback of pressure should also be felt in the brake pedals.
The maximum pressure delivered to the brakes by the No. 2 hydraulic
system is 1,080 psi.
A general rule to be followed is that whenever a different brake system is
selected, the brakes should be checked to ensure that the system is
working properly.

When a positive rate of climb is indicated on both the altimeter and
vertical speed indicator, and upon the captains command, the copilot
places the landing gear selector up. Confirm the proper retraction of the
landing gear until the gear is up and the door lights are out.
After takeoff from a snow- or slush-covered runway, delay landing gear
retraction 15 seconds, provided that obstacle clearance requirements are
respected in case of an engine failure. If necessary, and at an airspeed
below 190 knots, cycle the gear up and down prior to final retraction.
However, gear cycling does not apply to aircraft equipped with a brake
heating system (SB F900-32).

2.

Landing Computations/Bugs.......................................... COMPLETE/SET


Determine the landing weight, and compute the requirements for runway
distance/field length, VREF, and go-around for that weight. Set the VREF
on the EADI by rotating the IAS knob on the DC-820 display controller
on the center pedestal. This VREF setting should only be changed for
additives regarding the final approach configuration of the aircraft, that
is, for flap settings less than 40, if the airbrakes are locked in the
extended position or if there is a flight control problem requiring an
airspeed additive (Table NP-1).
When landing with any wind, or especially if gusty wind conditions exist
at the landing airport, add half the steady wind component, plus the full
gust component, not to exceed a 20-knot additive. Do not change the VREF
bug setting to incorporate wind, but carry the wind additive as a target
speed above VREF. One of the analog airspeed indicator bugs may be set
on this target speed for final approach to touchdown. Any other analog
airspeed indicator bugs may be set on VFR and 1.43 VS in the eventuality
of a go-around.
Wind additives are to be carried as an additive all the way to touchdown.

ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS


OPERATING IN ICING CONDITIONS
NOTE
Icing conditions exist on the ground or for takeoff
when OAT is 10C (50F) or below when operating
on ramps, on taxiways, or runways where surface
snow or slush may be ingested by the engines or
freeze on engines, nacelles, or engine sensor probe.
Icing conditions exist in flight when TAT is 10C
(50F) or below and visible moisture is present in any
form (such as clouds, fog with visibility of one mile
or less, rain, snow, sleet and ice crystals).

NP-46

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

1.

Engine anti-ice systems (ENG ANTI-ICE) should be switched on in


flight or on ground when icing conditions exist or are anticipated, except
during climb and cruise when the temperature is less than 40C SAT or
TAT more than +10C (50F).
However, flying in vicinity or through a cumuliform cloud can result in
rapid variation of SAT with SAT increasing above 40C. In such case,
anticipate icing conditions by selecting the anti-icing system on.
Do not rely on airframe visual cues to turn anti-icing system on. Use the
temperature and visible moisture criteria specified.
Conclusion:
During climb and cruise, the pneumatic anti-ice system shall be turned on:
Below +10C (50F) TAT and above 40C
In visible moisture
If both of these conditions are not met, the anti-ice should be turned off.

2.

Wing anti-ice system (WING ANTI-ICE) should be switched on in flight


prior to entering visible moisture whenever the TAT is +10C or below.

3.

Encounter with icing conditions is evidenced by the formation of ice on


the non anti-iced area around the windshield panes. In night flight
operation, lights switched on by WING (EXTERIOR LIGHTS) switch
illuminate the wing leading edges to allow the detection of ice.

4.

Comply with engine and wing anti-ice system operational limits and with
minimum N1 speed values.

5.

If necessary during the approach , increase the approach speed and extend
the airbrakes to help keep N1 speed to no less than the specified value.

The N 1 speed of the operative engines must not be less than the minimum values as shown in table below.

Increase the values shown in Table NP-2:

By 6% if N 1 is lower than 65%

Landing Gear Operation


In icing conditions, the failure of the red landing gear lights to go out when
landing gear retraction is accomplished may be due to ice preventing locking of the main gear in up position.
Maintain indicated airspeed lower than or equal to VLO (190 KIAS)
After take-off from a snow (dry or wet) or slush covered runway,
delay landing gear retraction for 15 seconds, provided that obstacle
clearance requirements are respected in case of one engine failure (with
gear extended, the second segment climb is 1.7% less). If necessary,
and at airspeed below 190 kts, cycle the gear up and down prior to final
retraction (gear cycling does not apply to aircraft equipped with a brake
heating system (SB F900-32).
During approach, if take-off was from a snow (dry or wet) or slush
covered runway, proceed as follow:
Landing gear down and checked
Brake selector #1, anti-skid OFF
Apply maximum brake pressure several times .
Re-active anti-skid system, brake selector #1, anti-skid ON
Perform antiskid test as usual

Slat System Operation


Should the slats fail to fully retract when retraction is initiated in icing conditions (red transit light ON):
1.

Maintain airspeed at VFE (200 KIAS) or below.

2.

Leave wing anti-ice system on and maintain engine power settings at or


above minimum values.

Windshield Anti-Icing
Selection of the WINDSHIELD PILOT and COPILOT switches to the MAX
position should be limited to those icing conditions encountered in flight such
that the ice protection afforded in the NORM position is inadequate

NP-48

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

When the aircraft has been left on the ground for several hours or one night
in ambient temperatures of 5 F ( -15C) or below , cockpit windows incorporating a heating network must be heated as follows :
Place both WINSHIELD PILOT/COPILOT switches in the NORM
position (medium heating )
Also switch on the side window heating switch SIDE.
Keep the heating ON for 15 minutes before leaving the ramp

COLD WEATHER OPERATION


Fuel Selection
Prior to prolonged parking in very low temperature conditions, ensure (by replacement if necessary) that the freezing point of the fuel used is lower than
the anticipated minimum ambient temperature.
In-flight tank fuel temperature must be maintained at least 3C above the freezing point of fuel being used. If necessary, increase mach number or decrease
altitude to raise the total air temperature.
This should be achieved if the total air temperature is not more than 13C (23F)
below the fuel freezing point .
As water may freeze as it settles out of the fuel when the aircraft is parked in
the cold, draining must not be carried out until the aircraft has been parked
on heated areas of the airfield or in a heated hangar.
While moisture in the fuel is not exclusively a cold weather problem, it does
frequently cause trouble during engine starts in below freezing weather.

Water Servicing
On ground when cold temperatures are expected, water has to be drained properly to prevent any water circuit leaks.
Observe the procedure in the Ground Servicing Manuel (DTM 567, Water
Section)

Operational Conciderations
During starting, taxing, after take off and prior to landing on a runway covered with snow or slush:
Activate the airstart engine ignition system
After take off, to get rid of the slush accumulated during taxi and take
off, cycle the gear up and down prior to final retraction.
Before landing, apply maximum brake pressure several times, using
the anti-skid OFF. Reactivate and check the antiskid prior to landing.

Do not chase altitude and speed

WINDSHEAR SITUATION
If windshear is anticipated:
Do not take offWait
Do not landWait or fly to an alternate airport
Pilot reaction time must be very low3 to 5 seconds. If the pilot takes 15 seconds or more to understand the situation, it will be too late.

Pilot must be aware that the landing gear must not be raised as long as a positive rate of climb and terrain clearance are not established. The following are
two reasons for this:
In case of contact with the ground, the gear will absorb most of the
impact energy
Although a small performance increase is available after landing gear
retraction, initial performance degradation may occur when landing
gear doors open for retraction.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

ENGINE FAILURE BEFORE V1


Reject the takeoff:
1.

Brakes................................................................. MAXIMUM PRESSURE


Use the brakes to their maximum pressure, depending on length of
runway, during any aborted takeoff. The brakes, in No. 1 position with
antiskid on, are the most important factor in stopping performance. They
should be applied as other actions are taken to decelerate the aircraft.

2.

Power Levers ...................................................................................... IDLE


Immediately upon the abort call, retard the power levers to idle. Do not
bring the power levers to cutoff; otherwise, hydraulic pressure for stopping
the aircraft may be lost.

3.

Airbrake Handle ..................................................................... POSITION 2


Ensure that the airbrake handle is placed to position 2. Extending the
airbrakes decreases lift on the wings and makes braking more effective.
While on the ground, if the failure was the No. 2 engine, the standby
hydraulic pump will automatically operate when the hydraulic pressure in
the No. 2 system drops to approximately 1,500 psi.

4.

Thrust Reverser....................................................................... DEPLOYED


Use the thrust reverser as an added benefit to stopping performance.
Before ordering reverser deployment, ensure that the aircraft is firmly on
the ground on all three gears, the airbrakes are extended, and No. 2 engine
is effectively at idle power. The thrust reverser can be used until normal
taxi speed is achieved without risk of reingestion of gases and compressor
stalls. The thrust reverser is most effective, however, at the higher speeds
during deceleration. It should be used to slow the aircraft to at least a
speed of 89 knots, which is the hydroplaning speed of a Falcon 900.

NOTE
Accelerate-stop performance is based on a 2-second
time delay from initiation of the abort to being in the
stopping configuration described in this procedure.
Thrust reverser is not a performance consideration in
stopping performance of the aircraft. Charted stopping performance is based on the use of antiskid braking and the deployment of airbrakes to position 2.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

ENGINE FAILURE AFTER V1


Continue the takeoff:
1.

At VR ...................................................................... ROTATE NORMALLY


Rotate the aircraft to the normal pitch attitude calculated from the flight
manual charts, usually a minimum of 13.5 for a 20 flaps + slats takeoff
or 14.5 for 7 flaps + slats takeoff. This will ensure a minimum climbout
gross climb gradient of 2.7% in the second segment of climb.

2.

Airspeed .............................................................................. MAINTAIN V2


If possible, maintain a speed of V2 for climbout to a minimum altitude of
400 feet AGL. If the speed is higher than V2, maintain that speed, and do
not allow the speed to increase further. Do not pull the nose up further to
try to bring the speed back to V2.

3.

Positive Rate of Climb................................................................ GEAR UP


A positive rate of climb is defined as an indication of climb showing on
both the altimeter and the rate-of-climb indicator.

4.

Crew and Passenger Bleed-Air Switches ............................................. OFF


The performance charts for climbout in the second segment are calculated
with these bleed systems turned off.

5.

Wing Anti-ice .................................................................... AS REQUIRED


If anti-icing conditions are present, turn on the wing anti-ice switch after
the landing gear has been retracted. The performance charts do account for
the use of wing anti-icing, if needed.

CAUTION
If the engine failure occurs at a speed above V2, maintain the speed attained.
At no lower than 400 feet AGL and above safety altitude:
6.

Level Flight Acceleration ........................................................... INITIATE


Acceleration to flaps/slats retraction speeds may be accomplished while in
level flight. Do not descend. However, the aircraft must be capable of
climbing in this transition segment with a minimum gross climb gradient
of 1.5%. If the aircraft meets second-segment climb requirements, it will
automatically meet transition and final segment climb requirements.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

7.

STBY Hydraulic Pump Switch (If No. 2 Engine Failed) .................... ON


If the No. 2 engine has failed, there may not be enough windmilling rpm to
operate the engine-driven hydraulic pump. In order to obtain operation of
No. 2 hydraulic system components, position the standby hydraulic pump
switch to ON. In flight, with the standby pump switch in AUTO, the standby
pump will operate only when the airbrakes are selected to position 1 or 2.

8.

At V2 + 25 knotsFLAPSSLATS Handle .................................. CLEAN


When an airspeed of V2 + 25 knots is achieved, regardless of the takeoff
configuration, retract the slats and flaps incrementally to the clean
position. Check that the flap position indicator on the configuration panel
is at 0.

9.

Enroute Climb Speed..................................................................... ATTAIN


Compute the enroute climb speed from the performance charts. This speed
is 1.43 VS in the clean configuration. It is also the best rate-of-climb speed
if on one engine, the maximum lift over drag speed, and the best speed to
use for driftdown if all engines have failed and cannot be restarted.

10.

Failed Engine......................................................................... IDENTIFIED


Analyze all engine indications. Attempt an airstart on the failed engine
unless a greater emergency exists with the engine. Both pilots must make a
positive and confirmed identification of the affected engine before any
further actions are taken. Shut down the inoperative engine (see Engine
Failure In Flight, this chapter).

Five minutes after brake release:


11.

Crew and Passenger Bleed Switches ................................................ AUTO


At this point, it may no longer be necessary to leave these switches off to
meet performance chart requirements. If required, they may be turned
back on as soon as the final climbout segment has begun.

12.

Maximum Continuous Thrust .............................................................. SET


On the two remaining engines, change the thrust from the takeoff thrust
power settings to the charted maximum continuous thrust power settings.

NOTE
It is the captains responsibility to decide whether to
continue the flight or interrupt it as soon as possible
and apply the One Engine Inoperative Approach and
Landing procedure.

If needed to supply hydraulic power to the No. 2 hydraulic system, turn on
the standby hydraulic pump switch. A windmilling engine, dependent
upon its rpm, may not be able to supply enough hydraulic power to
operate No. 2 system components..

CAUTION
Regardless of flight conditions, fuel in the center
group of tanks must not be kept at a higher level than
the side tanks to prevent problems caused by an aft
CG location at the end of the flight.

ONE ENGINE INOPERATIVEAPPROACH AND LANDING


1.

Hydraulic Implications ............................................................. CHECKED


Depending on which engine is shut down and which hydraulic system is
affected, the hydraulic implication and special requirements should be
checked, evaluated, and applied before beginning the approach.

2.

Electrical Implications.............................................................. CHECKED


Depending on which engine is shut down and which DC electrical bus is
affected, electrical implications and bus loading should be taken care of
before starting the approach.

3.

Fuel Implications ...................................................................... CHECKED


If necessary, fuel quantities should be equalized to prevent problems that
might be caused by an aft CG location at the end of the flight. After
shutdown of the No. 2 engine, and regardless of the flight conditions, fuel in
the center group of tanks must not be kept at a higher level than in side tanks.

4.

Landing and Climb Requirements............................................ CHECKED


The landing distance and landing field length requirements, as amended
for hydraulic implications, must be calculated for the landing. In the event
of a go-around, the maximum gross weight limit, to meet the 2.4% gross
climb gradient requirement, must be checked.

Airspeed to 400 Feet AGL ............................................ VREF + 15 KNOTS


The best climb speed to maintain to a minimum altitude of 400 feet above
ground level is VREF + 15 knots. If a higher speed is achieved during the

At an altitude no lower than 400 feet above ground level, maintain level
flight while accelerating to the slats-flaps retract speed.

5.

At V2 + 25 KnotsFLAPSSLATS .............................................. CLEAN


This is the normal retraction speed for the FLAPSSLATS. You can use
VREF as the base speed, which is a conservative speed. For a given gross
weight of the aircraft, VREF speed is 7 knots higher than the V2 speed for a
20 flaps + slats takeoff. Moreover, for a given gross weight, the VREF speed
is equal to the V2 speed for a 7 flaps + slats takeoff. Remember, there is
only one VREF for the aircraft at a given gross weight. VREF is 1.3 VS in the
normal landing configuration, which is 40 flaps + slats, gear down.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

The best technique is to apply this procedure in a


timely fashion, as soon as it has been ascertained that
the engine malfunction that caused the flameout will
not present a danger if an airstart attempt is made. The
power lever must be immediately set to idle and the
airstart ignition selected in order to take advantage of
the high rotational speed of the compressors.
If the relight attempt is unsuccessful, it is necessary
to descend to an altitude which is within the normal
airstart envelope.
1.

Power Lever ..................................................... IMMEDIATELY TO IDLE


The power lever must be immediately retarded to idle to minimize the
input of fuel for an immediate relight, which might result in a hot start.

2.

Start Selector Switch ............................................................... AIR START


As soon as the power lever is retarded to idle, place the start selector
switch to AIR START. The above two actions must be accomplished
before the N2 rpm decays to 15% or less to increase the probability for a
successful start. This provides ignition for engine starting. Check IGN
light on.

3.

ITT Rise within 10 Seconds ..................................................... CHECKED


This is the indication of a successful relight of the engine. Ensure the ITT
rises normally, being careful the temperatures stay within the limitations
envelope. All other engine instruments must be checked as well for their
proper indications.

If all engine instruments indicate that the engine is operating normally, the
power lever may be advanced, as required, for normal flight.

After a successful relight:


5.

procedure in this manual.

Abnormal Airstart
Abort an airstart whenever any one of the following conditions occurs:
The ITT does not rise within 10 seconds after moving the power levers
to idle.
The oil pressure does not rise within 10 seconds after light-off.
The ITT rises rapidly and approaches the 952C (TFE-731-5AR) or
978C (TFE-731-5BR) limit.
An N 1 remains close to zero when N 2 speed reaches 20%.
N 2 speed is not rising rapidly and smoothly after light-off.
If, during an airstart with the computer in manual mode, the N 1 exceeds 80% with the power lever at idle.
If any of the above are observed during the airstart, shut down the engine as
follows:
1.

Power Lever.................................................................................. CUTOFF


This is done to shut off the fuel at the engine fuel control and stop the start.

2.

FLIGHT CONTROLS
LANDING WITH INOPERATIVE STABILIZER
This condition is indicated by the inability to trim the horizontal stabilizer
by either the normal or emergency trim system. The horizontal stabilizer will
remain in the last position selected prior to the trim failure. Hold the control
column and then perform the following procedures:
1.

Autopilot ............................................................................ DISENGAGED


If the autopilot is engaged, and if it hasnt already been disconnected due
to the loss of normal trim capability, disengage it from the aircraft controls
by depressing the yaw damper pushbutton on the center pedestal. This
action will disengage the autopilot and yaw damper and cause the AP light
to come on and show a disengagement message on the ID 802.

NOTE
The failure of the horizontal stabilizer causes the elevator Arthur unit to lock in the position it is in at the
time of failure. When the flaps and slats are extended,
the Arthur unit returns to the low-speed position,
which results in a significant, but very gradual, decrease of elevator feel force.
If the stabilizer is jammed in the +2 to 4 range:
2.

Flaps + Slats Handle ................................................. 20 FLAPS + SLATS


This is the recommended final flap setting for approach and landing. This
is a normal trim setting for a 20 flaps + slats landing, which provides
sufficient elevator control for the pilot.

3.

Airspeed ........................................................................ VREF + 20 KNOTS


A final approach speed of VREF + 20 knots will ensure sufficient elevator
control.

LANDING WITH INOPERATIVE ELEVATOR


The elevator portion of the control column will be frozen in position. The pilot
will be unable to control movement about the pitch axis, except by use of the
horizontal stabilizer trim. Fly the approach and landing using the following
procedures:
1.

Flaps + Slats Handle ................................................. 40 FLAPS + SLATS


It is recommended that the normal 40 flap configuration be used for
approach and landing. Check proper positioning on the configuration panel.

2.

Airspeed ........................................................................ VREF + 10 KNOTS


The extra speed will improve controllability of the aircraft with a jammed
elevator.

3.

Increase the landing distance by 1,800 feet.

4.

Use very short pitch trim inputs to set the stabilizer trim.
This method of trimming the aircraft is recommended over the use of long
bursts of trim, which may cause the loss of aircraft control. Use several
short bursts of trim to control pitch, making the pitch trim clacker sound
much like several short bursts of a Gatling gun.

5.

Make a shallow final approach.


Make as shallow an approach as possible to minimize trim changes and
landing flare actions during this phase of flight. If possible, hold the
landing flare on final approach, using power and trim and keeping the
airspeed additive and power on until touchdown.

SLAT MONITORING SYSTEM


AUTO
SLATS

Illumination of this light indicates that information from the slat monitoring
circuits (ground/flight proximity switches, angle of attack, airspeed) are in
disparity.
If the light comes on after takeoff or at a speed lower than 280 knots:
1.

Airspeed Envelope............................. BETWEEN 1.3 VS TO 270 KNOTS


Do not allow the airspeed to go outside of these limits. Avoid stall
situations, as the stall warning system may not operate properly for
indication of a stall and automatic deployment of the slats. Do not
deliberately perform stall tests.

If the light comes on when at an airspeed of 280 knots or greater:


2.

Reduce Airspeed ........................................................ 270 KIAS OR LESS


The airspeed must be limited to less than 270 knots. When flying above
270 knots, the safety systems that lock out the automatic deployment of
the slats are not operational, and unwanted and untimely extension of the
outboard slats could occur, causing damage to the slats and/or adverse
aircraft control.

SLAT SYSTEM ABNORMAL OPERATION


If using the flaps + slats handle on the center pedestal, continuous illumination of the red arrow light on the gear/ flaps + slats indicator panel indicates
that at least one of the four slats is being maneuvered, neither fully extended
nor fully retracted. If using the emergency control or automatic operation, at
least one of the two outboard slats is being maneuvered, neither fully extended
nor fully retracted. The red light will also be illuminated.
Some normal slat system indications to consider:
The green light is on steady when all four slats are extended.
The green light usually flashes when only the outboard slats are
extended and in conformity with the command.
The red light remains illuminated during slat displacement.
During slat extension by normal control, the red light comes on when
the control handle is set to the 7 flaps + slats position. The red light
goes out when all slats are extended, at which time the green light comes
on steady.

AP-38

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

During slat retraction, when the FLAPSSLATS handle is set to


CLEAN, the green light flashes during retraction of the inboard slats
and flaps. As soon as the inboard slats and flaps are retracted, the
outboard slats retract, at which time the green flashing light goes out
and the red light comes on. The red light goes out when the slats are
fully retracted.
During automatic or emergency extension of the slats, the red light
comes on until the outboard slats are fully extended, at which time
the red light goes out and the green light flashes. When the slats begin
retracting after auto deployment, the green flashing light goes out, and
the red light comes on until the slats are fully retracted.
During automatic retraction of the inboard slats, when all slats are
deployed and an AOA stall angle of 23 is detected, the green light
goes from a steady state to a flashing state immediately upon receipt
of the retraction signal. This really means that only the outboard slats
are fully extended. When a stall angle below 16.5 is detected, the green
flashing light goes out, and the red light comes on during extension
of the inboard slats. When the inboard slats are fully extended, the red
light goes out, and the green light comes on steadily, indicating that
all four slats are fully extended.
If the Bus A1 failure occurs in the cockpit, the outboard slats can be
extended through the normal slats control handle (via the battery
bus). In this case the green light flashes.
Green and red light can never illuminate simultaneously except during test on the indication panel.

In Cruise
Normally, in the cruise regime of flight, the flaps + slats handle is kept in the
CLEAN position. There should be no movement of the slats or flaps unless
caused by selection of the handle or activation of the automatic stall system.
If one or more of the slats fail to retract after the handle is placed to the CLEAN
position, the red slat transit light will remain on. There may also be a tendency
for the aircraft to roll. If either of these conditions is noted, the following
procedures should be performed:
1.

Airspeed ..................................................................... 200 KIAS OR LESS


It is imperative that this maximum operational speed, with the slats
extended, not be exceeded.

2.

Autopilot ............................................................................ DISENGAGED


Firmly hold the control wheel during disengagement of the autopilot.
Disengage the autopilot by depressing the autopilot disconnect switch on
the aft bottom portion of either control wheel. The AP light will illuminate

During Approach
Depending on indications, follow the instructions for either case 1 or case 2 below.

Case 1
A flashing green slat light with the red light off indicates that only the

SLATS position. The green slat light off, the red slat light on, and a possible
tendency for the aircraft to roll due to asymmetry indicate that one or more
of the slats are not fully extended.

CAUTION
Emergency slat actuation is only authorized when a
failure is experienced.
Proceed as follows:
1.

Flaps + Slats Handle ................................ LEAVE IN 7 FLAPS + SLATS


This selected position will provide electrical circuit protection which will
prevent any inboard slats or trailing-edge flap extension until outboard slat
extension is first satisfied.
If outboard slats are visually extended and flaps 7, go directly to section

If outboard slats are visually not extended and flaps not at 7, continue
with the following item 2.
2.

Emergency Slats Switch ........................................................................ ON


The use of this switch will provide outboard slat extension provided from
the No. 2 hydraulic system.

Note the slats indications after placing the switch on, and follow procedure
A, B or C below, depending on the indications you observe.

Procedure A
If the green light comes on steadily, all slats extended.
1.

Flaps + Slats Handle............................................... 40 FLAPS + SLATS


A normal full 40 flap approach and landing may be made without
additive or penalty.

2.

Approach Speed .................................................................................. VREF

Procedure B
If the red light stays on and only the outboard slats are visually checked
extended, it can be assumed safe to use other flap configurations for approach
and landing.
1.

Flaps + Slats Handle ................................................. 40 FLAPS + SLATS


The flaps may be extended to 40 as long as the outboard slats are
extended.

2.

Approach Speed .............................................................. VREF + 5 KNOTS


Due to the loss of the lift normally provided by the inboard slats, 5 knots
must be added to the VREF speed to provide the proper margin from the
stall speed.

3.

Increase the landing distance by 200 feet.

Procedure C
If the red light stays on and neither inboard or outboard slats are extended:
1.

Flaps + Slats Handle ...................................................................... CLEAN

of flaps for approach and landing.
2.

EGPWS Flaps O'Ride Switch................................................................ ON

3.

Approach Speed ............................................................ VREF + 30 KNOTS


To compensate for the loss of lift normally provided by the slats and flaps,
the VREF must be increased by 30 knots to ensure a proper margin from
stall during final approach and landing.

4.

Increase the landing distance and the landing field length by 50%.
The increased speed to be maintained on final approach necessitates an
increase in runway requirements to allow for a longer stopping distance.

CAUTION
Do not change the emergency slats switch position.
The landing-gear-not-extended aural warning, normally activated by the 40 flap warning circuitry,
may not sound if the gear is not fully down and the
flaps are not selected to 40.

3.

RH AUTO SLAT Circuit Breaker ................................................... RESET


If the warnings were stopped by pulling the left circuit breaker, then restore
the right-side stall warning system to provide proper warning of stall.
Continue the flight at an indicated airspeed of less than 270 knots, with the
circuit breaker of the defective system pulled.

Depending on the final position of the circuit breakers, if the RH AUTO


SLAT circuit breaker remains pulled:
Manual action of the flap/slat handle remains operative
Emergency slats switch is inoperative
If the LH AUTO SLAT circuit breaker remains pulled manual action of the
flap/slat handle:
Causes only extension of outboard slats. Inboard slats remain in
retracted position and the slat green light is flashing.
Has no action on flaps when flap/slat handle is selected to 7 position,

5.

Increase the landing distance by 600 feet.

NOTE
Airbrakes may be used during landing approach, provided airspeed is at least VREF + 10 knots. Increase
landing distance by 10%.

AIRBRAKES DO NOT EXTEND IN FLIGHT


Airbrakes, as well as antiskid brakes, are considerations in the performance
charts for computing landing distance and landing field length. Since the
airbrakes cannot be extended, a penalty must be applied to these landing
factors. Make the following additives:
Increase the landing distance by 10%.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

If, after applying all the methods possible to try to extend the landing gear, a
problem with one or more landing gears still exists, plan on landing with the
assumption that at least one landing gear is locked in the up position. Declare
an emergency, and make a shallow approach and as soft a landing as possible.
If the nose gear is the one gear whose extension is in doubt, touch down on
the main wheels as for a normal landing. Hold the nose off the ground for as
long as possible and then bring it gently into contact with the runway while
the elevators remain effective. Do not use the brakes, unless a greater
emergency exists, until after the nose touches the ground. As soon as the nose
touches the ground, begin normal, or differential, braking as necessary to
maintain directional control. Use No. 1 brakes, No. 2 brakes or the parking
brake handle, depending on the availability of hydraulic and/or braking
systems.
If extension of either of the main landing gears is in doubt, touch down on
the side of the runway corresponding to the extended gear. Hold the wings
level for as long as possible. Control direction with the rudder pedals and
nosewheel steering. When the wing touches the ground, brake with the brake
pedals and counteract veering.

CONTROL HANDLE JAMMED IN DOWN POSITION


It is impossible to retract the landing gear.
1.

Airspeed ...................................................... 245 KIAS MAXIMUM (VLE)


Jamming of the landing gear control handle in the down position may be
caused by misalignment of the nosewheels; consequently, do not attempt
to free the control handle by pressing the red ground safety override
pushbutton located above the control handle (or by pulling the control
handle if the modification M1688 is installed). Damage could be incurred
if the gear is retracted in this configuration.

EMERGENCY RETRACTION ON GROUND


Emergency retraction of the landing gear on the ground must only be considered if it is imperative to stop the aircraft immediately (risk of collision with
another aircraft or a large obstacle) and conventional means are not adequate.
Ground retraction of the landing gear is achieved using the following procedure, with the first two operations being performed simultaneously:
1.

Ground Safety Override


Pushbutton (If Installed) ....................................... PRESS IN AND HOLD
This is a red pushbutton located above the normal landing gear control
handle. On aircraft with modification M1688, this pushbutton is no more

The L and R brake lights illuminate at 232 psi.

AP-48

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

The #2 P BK light illuminates at 232 psi.


Brake pressure for the No. 1 brake system is:
1,595 psi for SNs 1, 75, and subsequent, and those incorporating
Service Bulletin F900-42
2,175 psi for SNs 2 to 74, except for those with Service Bulletin
F900-42

NOTE
Service Bulletin 42 provides a double-braking system, that assures a better brake-holding capability during pretakeoff, full-engine-power runups.
Brake pressure for the No. 2 brake system is 1,080 psi.
The first detent of the parking brake handle provides 800 psi of No.
2 hydraulic system pressure. This detent stops the aircraft gradually
without locking the brakes.
The second detent of the parking brake provides 2,175 psi of No. 2
hydraulic system pressure. This detent will lock the brakes.
This malfunction is indicated by an abnormal antiskid brake test. The
green No. 1 system L and R brake lights do not illuminate when the
brakes are tested in either the #1/ASKID ON or #1/ASKID OFF
positions of the brake selector switch.
1.

Brake Selector Switch....................................................... #2/ASKIDOFF


Set the three-position selector switch to #2/ASKID OFF. Braking is
achieved using the pedals that are supplied through No. 2 hydraulic
system; the antiskid system is inoperative. Test No. 2 hydraulic system
braking by pressing the LH and RH brake pedals in turn, and check that
the #2 P BK light comes on.

2.

Brake progressively.
Braking efficiency can be visually checked by monitoring the deceleration
rate on the EADI optimum deceleration on a dry runway is between 0.25 g
and 0.30 g, increasing with weight.

3.

Increase the landing distance by 50%.

NOTE
For takeoff, operation of the aircraft on an exceptional
basis with antiskid inoperative is described in annex
5 of the Airplane Flight Manual. Operation on this
basis is subject to prior authorization defined in a
Minimum Equipment List (MEL).

Carefully calculate the normal runway landing requirements using the
Airplane Flight Manual. Charted stopping performance is based on
antiskid brakes and airbrakes.

2.

Thrust Reverser.......................................................... APPLY MAXIMUM


Use the thrust reverser to its maximum throughout the landing roll. The
thrust reverser is most effective at the first portion of the landing roll, but
should be used all the way to the stop in conjunction with the use of the
parking brake in the intermediate detent.

3.

Parking Brake ................................................ INTERMEDIATE DETENT


Pull the parking brake handle to the first or intermediate detent. Do not
cycle the handle in and out of this detent. Select the first detent, and leave
the handle there. Avoid pulling the handle to the second detent unless a
greater emergency exists and it becomes necessary to lock the wheels. The
parking brake accumulator can allow up to five applications of the parking
brake using the second detent, if necessary.

NOTE
If the #2 P BK light is flashing, indicating a pressure
of 1,200 psi or less in the parking brake accumulator, residual pressure remaining allows for only one
brake application.

CAUTION
If it is certain that the VMO /M MO warning is false, do
not modify flying parameters.
If the above indications are experienced:
1.

Autopilot and Yaw Damper ............................................... DISENGAGED


Due to possible spurious information inputs to air data components,
disconnect the autopilot and yaw damper to prevent any unwanted flight

WING ANTI-ICE INOPERATIVE
WITHOUT BRAKE HEATING
The following four cases, with procedures, assume that the wing anti-ice
switch was turned on for anti-ice protection and the system malfunctioned.

Case 1

The wing anti-ice switch is on and the wing amber light comes on steady. This
indicates an insufficient supply of bleed air is available for wing anti-icing.
1.

No. 1 Engine N1 Speed................................................ INCREASE UNTIL

If the light remains amber:


3.

No. 3 Engine N1 Speed ............................................................ INCREASE


While maintaining a higher rpm on the No. 1 engine, increase the thrust on
the No. 3 engine to attempt to supply more high-pressure bleed air through
the PRV 3 valve.

If the light turns green:


4.

No. 3 Engine N1 Speed............................................................ MAINTAIN


Keep the thrust increased on both No. 1 and No. 3 engines, while in icing
conditions, to keep the wing anti-ice light green and to ensure a sufficient
anti-icing capability.

If the light still remains amber:


Set the N 1 No. 1 and No. 2 engines to the minimum rpm, according to Table
AP-4 for operations in icing conditions.
Avoid or leave icing conditions as soon as possible. Since the wing anti-icing
is no longer provided, structural icing may result.

Case 2

The wing anti-ice switch is on, and the wing amber light is flashing. This
indicates a system malfunction in which there is too much bleed air sensed
in the system.
1.

No. 1 Engine N1 Speed................................................................ REDUCE


Reduce the No. 1 engine N1 rpm until the flashing amber light goes out
and the green light illuminates. This action should reduce the highpressure bleed-air supply to the wing surfaces.

If the light does not turn green:


2.

No. 1 Engine N1 Speed ..................................................... AS REQUIRED

3.

No. 3 Engine N1 Speed................................................................ REDUCE


While maintaining a required speed on the No. 1 engine, reduce the engine
speed on the No. 3 engine to further reduce the high-pressure bleed-air
supply to the wing surfaces.

Case 3

The wing anti-ice switch is on, and both the amber and green anti-ice lights
are on. It would be quite rare for such an indication as this to appear. However,
the aircraft manufacturer feels that this is a coverall procedure in the event
any other indescribable indications might be seen when you turn on the wing
anti-icing switch. This indicates that the wing anti-ice system may be
malfunctioning and you must:

Case 4

The wing anti-ice switch is on, and the wing green light is out. This may indicate
that the green wing anti-icing light is not operative for one reason or another.
The corrective action to determine if it is an indication problem and not an
operational problem is to:
1.

Wing Anti-ice Switch........................................................................... OFF


Turn off the wing anti-ice switch, and observe the off indications by
watching the wing anti-ice lights. Normally, when turning the wing antiice switch off, the amber light will flash a couple of times and then
extinguish. Turn the switch back on.

2.

Wing Anti-ice Switch ............................................................................ ON


If you observe the normal indications of the amber light coming on and
then going out, you can assume that the wing valves have opened and are
being supplied sufficient bleed air for anti-icing purposes.
If you do not observe these proper indications, the wing anti-icing system
must be considered inoperative. You must:

3.

Avoid or leave icing conditions as soon as possible.

WING ANTI-ICE UNWANTED


OPERATION WITHOUT BRAKE HEATING

The wing anti-ice switch is off and the amber wing light is flashing. This may
mean that some bleed air may still be going to the wings or an indication failure,
even though the wing anti-icing switch is off. To try to correct this malfunction by the following procedure:
1.

Wing Anti-ice Switch ............................................................................ ON


If the green wing light does not come on, it means a failure of the
indicating system and there is no anti-ice pressurized air in the wings.
Flight may be continued with:

2.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

OR
If the green light comes on, it means the operation of the wing anti-icing
system is out of sequence. High-pressure bleed air may still be supplied to
the wings even when the wing switch is off. This case is either untimely
operation of the wing anti-ice system or seizing of the wing anti-ice
system electrovalve in the open position. If the TAT is above +10C, the
following procedure must be followed to eliminate, or to limit, the flow of
high-pressure bleed air to the wings.
2.

Wing Anti-ice Switch........................................................................... OFF

The amber light may still be flashing.


3.

Isolation Valve Knob ................................................................... ISOLATE


Move the rotary switch on the overhead panel to the isolate position. The
amber ISOL light should come on. This separates the bleed-air system so
that the No. 1 and No. 3 engines feed one side while the No. 2 engine
feeds the other side of the bleed-air manifold.

4.

HP 1 and PRV 3 Switches .................................................................... OFF


Moving these switches to off should keep any high-pressure airflow, from
the No. 1 and No. 3 engines, from entering the bleed-air manifold. It is this
side of the manifold from which the wing anti-ice system plumbing taps
its air. Therefore, only low-temperature, low-pressure bleed air can be
delivered to this side of the manifold. To minimize any adverse effects this
low-pressure bleed air might have, perform the following:

from aircraft to aircraft. It is recommended that an inventory of the
components contained in the nose cone be made available on board each
aircraft in the event that an electrical isolation becomes necessary.

PRESSURIZATION
IMPROPER CABIN VERTICAL SPEED
This is an erratic indication on the cabin vertical speed indicator when the
cabin pressure should be maintaining a stable differential pressure. Certain
steps are necessary to ensure that the controls and switches are in their proper
position for flight.
As a review, remember that the automatic controller commands the electropneumatic outflow valve, and the pneumatic outflow valve is slaved to it.
When not in automatic and in manual, the manual pressurization knob controls the pneumatic outflow valve, and the electropneumatic outflow valve is
slaved to it.
1.

Pressurization UPDN Knob.............. ALIGNED WITH GREEN INDEX


Check the manual pressurization knob to be sure it is set in the green index
on the dial. The automatic pressurization system is calibrated to maintain
cabin pressure automatically with the manual pressurization knob in the
green index. Here it commands a closed configuration on the pneumatic
outflow valve. If the knob is not in this position, the system will not operate
properly, as the automatic system will try to compensate for the knob being
out of its proper calibrated position, commanding a change on the
pneumatic outflow valve, thus causing an erratic vertical speed indication.

Bleed-Air Crew and Passenger Switches........................... CHECKED/ON


Ensure that the air-conditioning valve switches are in the auto position, or
if that does not seem to correct the problem, move them to the on position.
This will bypass the automatic opening circuit and allow the valves to go
to full open. Check that the PRV 2 and PRV 3 switches are selected to auto
to ensure a proper air supply to the bleed-air manifold for air-conditioning
and pressurization purposes.

If normal operation is not restored:


4.

Pressurization UPDN Knob.................... 1- TO 2-OCLOCK POSITION


At this point, it is assumed the automatic pressurization system may
be malfunctioning. By moving the manual pressurization knob to the
1- to 2-oclock position, you command a level cabin altitude signal to the
pneumatic outflow valve in preparation for manual pressurization control.
You may notice a slight fluctuation in cabin vertical velocity when
performing this step. This is normal, as the automatic controller tries to
compensate for the manual knob being out of its compensated position.
If you do not move the knob to the 1- or 2-oclock position, a large
pressurization surge may result when selecting manual pressure.

5.

Auto/Manual Pressure Selector Switch.............................................. MAN


Move the two-position switch, located to the right of the manual
pressurization knob, from the AUTO to the MAN position. This cuts out
automatic pressurization control and allows manual control of cabin
pressure through the use of the manual pressurization knob.

6.

Pressurization UPDN Knob ............................ ADJUST AS REQUIRED


Use the manual knob to control cabin pressure. Moving the switch
counterclockwise, from the 1- or 2-oclock position, commands a cabin
down signal to the pneumatic outflow valve. Moving the knob to its full
counterclockwise position closes the pneumatic outflow valve and
commands an approximate 1,500-foot-per-minute rate of descent for the
cabin, thereby increasing pressure differential.
Moving the knob clockwise, from the 1- or 2-oclock position, commands
a cabin up signal to the pneumatic outflow valve. This opens the
pneumatic valve and allows a cabin rate of climb of up to 1,500 feet per
minute when the knob is turned to the UP position on the dial. By moving
the knob past the UP position to the end of the stop, a cabin rate of climb
of 2,500 feet per minute is commanded.

TOO HIGH CABIN PRESSURE


The indication for this situation is seen on the cabin pressure triple indicator for altitude and differential pressure. An abnormally high cabin pressure
can cause pressurization surges if the overpressure valve opens and closes as
it reaches its preset relief values.
1.

Cabin Pressure Controller....................................................................... FL


Move the PROGFLLDG switch on the cabin pressure controller to the
FL position. You can now select a flight level higher than the one you are
flying, which increases cabin altitude and keeps the outflow valves from
riding on the maximum differential limits.

Select a higher flight level.

If the cabin pressure does not decrease, the automatic regulation system may
be inoperative. Take the following steps:
3.

Pressurization UPDN Knob......................................... 1 TO 2 OCLOCK


In the event the cabin pressure problem is connected to the automatic
pressurization system, this step prepares the pressurization system for
manual operation. This position of the knob approximates a level cabin
altitude command on the pneumatic outflow valve.

4.

AUTO/MANUAL Pressure Selector Switch...................................... MAN


This is done to disable the automatic (electropneumatic) system and to
enable manual (pneumatic) control of the pressurization system.

5.

Pressurization UPDN Knob...................................... UP, AS REQUIRED


Moving the knob clockwise, from the 1- or 2-oclock position, commands
a cabin up signal to the pneumatic outflow valve. This opens the
pneumatic valve and allows a cabin rate of climb of up to 1,500 feet per
minute when the knob is turned to the UP position on the dial. By moving
the knob past the UP position to the end of the stop, a cabin rate of climb
of 2,500 feet per minute is commanded.

If cabin pressure keeps increasing:


6.

Crew and Passenger Air-Conditioning Valve Switches ....................... OFF


This closes the electric valves of the cockpit and passenger cabin airconditioning system, shutting off the flow of bleed air into the aircraft.

Check that the crew and passenger air-conditioning valve switches are on and
that air is coming into the aircraft. PRV 2 and 3 switches must be in auto. If
these actions have not been taken, then air will not be able to enter the aircraft
cabin. It is suggested that the crew and passenger air-conditioning valve
switches be placed to the on position if it is thought that the automatic feature
is not working.
2.

BAG Switch ........................................................................................ ISOL


When placing the baggage switch to ISOL, you shut off the supply of hot
air to the baggage compartment and close the isolation valve between the
main passenger cabin and the baggage compartment. In the event there is a
pressure leak in the baggage compartment area, it will be isolated by this
step, thereby conserving main cabin depressurization. Check to see if the
cabin altitude is still increasing or is too high, and confirm illumination of
the BAG ISOL light on the warning panel and mechanics panel.

3.

Nose Control Lever (If Installed)................................................. CLOSED


On the copilots right console, pull the nose conditioning lever aft to the

air-conditioning system to the full hot position. This bypasses the total
conditioning system and allows engine bleed air to be directed straight to
the cabin of the aircraft, through the crew air-conditioning system. If the
aircraft stays in this configuration for long, the air inside the cabin will
begin to get warm.

If cabin pressure is restored:


9.

Continue flight at the highest possible altitude.


In the decision to continue flight or to descend and land at a suitable
airport, take into account the source of the problem. Where the aircraft is

As the temperature of the cabin gets warmer, select manual control on the
crew temperature control panel, and move the temperature control toward
cold. However, do not move the temperature control to less than 50% hot,
i.e., less than half way of the dial. To go lower than 50% hot would mean
that you could start losing pressure again as more air is channeled through
the heat exchanger and other temperature-lowering devices.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
GENERAL
Where these emergency checklist procedures differ from the Airplane Flight
Manual, the Airplane Flight Manual takes precedence.
Compliance with the order prescribed for application of these procedures
is recommended.
Where more than one phase for a procedure is specified:

Phase 1 specifies immediate action to be accomplished without the


need for reference to the checklist.

Phase 2 items shall be completed only after phase 1 items have been
accomplished by checklist.
Phase 3 items shall be accomplished as soon as time permits.
Aural warnings shall be identified before being silenced. Eliminating these
aural warnings will enable better coordination during accomplishment of the
emergency procedures.
The Airplane Operating Manual prescribes the following procedure if the fire
aural warning sounds without the presence of a FIRE light:
Test the detection system by activating the test switch to FIRE.
If a FIRE light does not come on, the fire corresponds to that light.
If all the FIRE lights come on, the aural warning is a false alarm.
In all cases, carefully observe all other indications and instruments to confirm either a malfunction or a false alarm.

NOTE
The following procedure must be followed, whether
or not the FAULT light is on.

Phase 1
After positively identifying the engine affected and silencing the aural warning:
1.

Power Lever of Engine Concerned............................................... CUTOFF


Moving the power lever cutoff closes the fuel supply to the engine at the
fuel control.

2.

Fuel Shutoff Switch of Engine Concerned ............................. ACTUATED


Raise the guard on the fuel shutoff switch (Figure EP-1) and move the
switch up to electrically close the fuel shutoff valve. The fuel shutoff valve
is located in the crossfeed manifold downstream from the fuel tank system.
Carefully observe that the amber TRANS light, located under the fuel
shutoff switch, comes on and then goes out after the shutoff switch is
actuated. This light will illuminate during the movement of the valve in
order to confirm positioning of the valve with the position of the switch.

3.

Airspeed ................................................................... BELOW 250 KNOTS


The airspeed must be reduced to ensure that the fire-extinguishing agent,
when discharged to the engine, stays within the engine cowling and is not
siphoned overboard.

4.

Fire-Extinguisher DISCH Switch.......................................... POSITION 1


Break the safety wire holding the fire-extinguisher switch in position 0.
Without pulling out on the switch, carefully move the switch up to
position 1. This is best done by placing only one finger under the switch
and moving it upward from the bottom.
Selecting position 1 discharges one fire-extinguisher bottle to a lateral
engine or two fire-extinguisher bottles to the center engine.

If the fire warning persists:


5.

Fire-Extinguisher DISCH Switch.......................................... POSITION 2


Position 2 is a lever-locked position, and the switch must now be pulled
out and moved upward to select this position.
Selecting position 2 discharges one alternate fire extinguisher bottle to a
lateral engine and two alternate fire extinguisher bottles to the center engine.

Phase 2
Proceed with phase 2 items after phase 1 items have been verified by
the checklist.

CAUTION
After the fire has been extinguished, do not attempt
to restart the affected engine.

Engine Shutdown
6.

Booster Switch ..................................................................................... OFF


Move the respective engine booster switch to the off position, unless the
pump is needed for fuel management purposes, and check for illumination
of the corresponding fuel light on the warning panel. If the No. 2 engine is
shut down, No. 2 system fuel must be consumed first in order to maintain
a correct center of gravity.

7.

GEN Switch ......................................................................................... OFF


The generator switch should be placed off to remove the affected generator
from the electrical circuitry.

8.

Engine Anti-ice .................................................................................... OFF

If the No. 2 engine is shut down:


9.

Bus-Tie Switch ................................................................................... TIED


With the No. 2 engine shut down, generator power to the right side
electrical buses is lost. To prevent the No. 2 battery from being depleted,
tie the bus to supply the right-side bus from the No. 1 and No. 3
generators. Check the generator volts and amps to ensure the buses have
been tied. A higher-than-normal bus load may be indicated on the
remaining generators. This higher load may be caused by the No. 2 battery
being charged after tying the buses. Continue to monitor bus loading until
the No. 2 battery is fully charged.

10.

Standby Hydraulic Pump ........................................... ON/AS REQUIRED


Consider moving the standby hydraulic pump switch to ON. The enginedriven hydraulic pump may not have sufficient windmilling rpm for normal
operation of the No. 2 hydraulic system components. In flight, in the AUTO
position, the standby pump cycles only to support airbrake operations.

CAUTION
If in icing conditions, operate the No. 2 engine antiice even with the engine shut down. The S-duct will
continue to be anti-iced through bleed air supplied
from the main manifold by the No. 1 and No. 3 engine.
11.

Land as soon as possible.


The aircraft must be landed at the nearest suitable airport for inspection
and repair.

INTERNAL ENGINE FIRE ON THE GROUND


The best way to fight an internal engine fire is to rotate the compressor by
means of the starter in order to cool the engine at the location of the fire. The
purpose is to evacuate both excess fuel and any flames present.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

If a fire breaks out during a starting attempt, or when shutting down the engine, the engine must be rotated, with the power lever set to cutoff, until the
fire is out.
1.

Power Lever.................................................................................. CUTOFF


Move the power lever to cutoff to shut off the fuel at the fuel control.

2.

Fuel Shutoff Switch ................................................................ ACTUATED


Move the fuel shutoff switch (Figure EP-2) up to shut off fuel at the fuel
manifold for the engine affected.

3.

Start Selector Switch ............................................ MOTORSTART STOP


This arms the start circuit for engine motoring.

4.

Start Button ........................................................................... DEPRESSED


Hold the respective engine start button depressed until the fire goes out.
This rotates the engine without the presence of fuel, an action that should
evacuate any residual fuel, causing the fire to extinguish.

5.

Crew and Passenger Bleed Switches.................................................... OFF


This is done to keep fumes from entering the cabin of the aircraft.

6.

Evacuation...................................................... INITIATED IF REQUIRED


Initiate the evacuation when crew and passengers have been breifed. Fire
brigade is also advised.

COND Control Lever ......................................................................... TIED


On the copilots right console, move the cabin/cockpit interconnection
control lever aft. This interconnects the ducting of the two air-conditioning
systems. Clean conditioned air will now be supplied to the entire airconditioning system by the passenger air-conditioning system using bleed
air from only the No. 2 engine.
OR
Troubleshoot the system to determine which engine, No. 1 or No. 3, was
causing the smoke. The air-conditioning systems can then be switched
back to normal operations, provided the defective engine N1 rpm is kept
3% below that of the other two engines. Sound judgment should dictate
your choice in this emergency. It might be prudent to choose Alternative
1 above.

If smoke persists:
5.

Crew Bleed-Air Switch.......................................................................... ON


The passenger bleed-air system becomes suspect at this point. To keep air
coming into the aircraft before proceeding further with the checklist, move
the crew bleed-air switch to ON.

6.

Passenger Bleed-Air Switch................................................................. OFF


If the smoke decreases or disappears, continue the flight with the
faulty bleed-air switch isolated. The smoke probably emanated from the
No. 2 engine.

If the smoke persists, the cooling unit is suspect. Proceed as follows:


7.

Crew Temperature Controller ................................... MANUAL/40% HOT


Since the crew bleed-air switch is the only bleed on, an attempt to control
the flow of cold air to a minimum will be made. Set the crew temperature
controller to MANUAL, and hold the manual COLDHOT selector to the
HOT position until the indicator needle moves toward the H indication,
about 40% away from the left side of the gage.

AFTER TOUCHDOWN
1.

Thrust Reverser (If Available)..................................................... APPLIED


The normal deceleration devices, such as airbrakes and antiskid braking,
should be applied, if available. The thrust reverser is most effective at the
higher speeds of the landing rollout.
If the No. 2 brake system must be used, use moderate braking, as antiskid
braking is not available. Use the thrust reverser to slow the aircraft to more
effective braking speeds. This is necessary to prevent skidding of the
wheels and the possibility of tire failure.
If No. 2 braking system is used, increase the landing distance, calculated
above by 50%, due to the lack of antiskid brakes and the use of less than
40 flaps for landing.

AFTER TOUCHDOWN
1.

Full Reverse Thrust .............................................................................. SET


In the event of a total hydraulic failure of the main systems, there may still
be accumulator hydraulic pressure available for at least one deployment of
the thrust reverser.

2.

Parking Brake..................................... INTERMEDIATE DETENT ONLY


If the #2 P. BK light is not flashing, there should be hydraulic pressure
stored in the parking brake accumulator circuit for up to five applications
of the parking brake. Flashing of the #2 P. BK light indicates only one
more brake application is possible. Be careful when deploying the parking
brake handle to the first detent. Be sure the aircraft is aimed as straight as
possible down the runway before pulling the brake handle. If possible,
limit the number of pulls on the brake handle to one, for best effective use
of the stored hydraulic pressure.

CAUTION
The hydraulic power-off condition requires greater
pilot forces. Landing requires greater caution
because directional control is available mainly by
rudder and differential forward thrust.

NOTE
During actual flight without hydraulic power, aircraft
maneuverability is reduced but remains sufficient in
all three axes when flight is maintained within the prescribed flight envelope (260 KT/MI 0.76).

EP-34

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

FlightSafety

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Pitch attitude is controlled essentially with the horizontal stabilizer.


Loss of hydraulic power causes an upward deflection
of both ailerons, which produces a slight pitch-up moment that is easily counteracted with pitch control.
If the aircraft is not perfectly trimmed in roll when
hydraulic power is lost, it is difficult to keep the
wings level while accelerating to 260 knots; in this
case, it is best to decelerate, recenter the control,
then reaccelerate.
The rudder is the most maneuverable control surface when hydraulic power is lost. The aircraft can
be turned by induced roll using the rudders.
At speeds below 200 knots, the aircraft maneuverability improves.
Approach is made at a shallow angle to land in a
clean configuration at V REF + 30 knots.

5.

Emergency Descent.................................................................. INITIATED


Simultaneously, as the airbrake is deployed and as the throttles are brought
to idle, begin the descent by rolling the aircraft to a 45 angle of bank. This
will expedite entry into the descent without adversely affecting G-loading of
the aircraft. The initial descent angle should be approximately a 20
nosedown pitch attitude. After the 20 nosedown pitch attitude is achieved,
remove all bank, hold the 20 pitch down until MMO/VMO is attained, and
then adjust pitch to approximately 10 of nosedown pitch, which should
maintain the aircraft at MMO/VMO in the descent.

EMERGENCY DESCENT
CAUTION
This procedure assumes normal structural integrity
of the aircraft. If structural integrity is questionable,
limit the airspeed to the lowest practical value, and
avoid high maneuvering loads.
1.

Autopilot ............................................................................ DISENGAGED

Open the emergency exit located over the right wing, and evacuate the
aircraft. Deploy the life line to the anchor point on the right wing next to
the gravity-fueling cap. Inflate the life rafts only when they are outside the
aircraft. The life raft may be secured to the ring holding the life line to the
wing to keep it in place until all occupants are on board. Crew and
passengers should not inflate their life vests until they are clear of the
window or door.
Selection of the proper emergency exit, either the emergency exit over the
wing or the main cabin door, should depend on a careful evaluation of the
total situation.

25.

Main Cabin Door .............................................................................. OPEN


An alternate means of evacuating the aircraft is through the main cabin
door, dependent upon the attitude of the aircraft in the water. Another
alternative for evacuation is the pilots direct-vision window. This should be
used as a last resort if all other exits fail to open or are covered by water.
26.

Evacuate the aircraft.

ANTI-ICE
Icing Conditions
Icing conditions exist when the OAT on the ground and for takeoff, or
TAT in flight is 10C or below, and visible moisture in any form is present
(such as clouds, fog with visibility of one mile or less, rain, snow, sleet, and
ice crystals).
Icing conditions also exist when the OAT on the ground and for takeoff is 10C
or below when operating on ramps, taxiways or runways where surface snow,
ice, standing water or slush may be ingested by the engines or freeze on engines, nacelles, or engine sensor probes.

Engine Anti-ice
Engine anti-ice systems (ENG ANTI-ICE ) should be switched ON in flight
or on ground when icing conditions exist or are anticipated, except during climb
and cruise when the temperature is less than 40C SAT or TAT more than
+10C (50F).
However, flying in vicinity or through cumuliform clouds can result in rapid
variation of SAT with SAT increasing above 40C. In such case, anticipate
icing conditions by selecting the anti-icing system ON.
Do not rely on airframe visual cues to turn anti-icing system ON. Use the temperature and visible moisture criteria specified.

MANEUVERS AND PROCEDURES


AIRWORK MANEUVERS
TAKEOFF WITH ENGINE FAILURE AFTER V1
If an engine failure occurs after V 1 , during the takeoff roll, continue the takeoff using the rudder to maintain directional control and runway alignment
(Figure MAP-1). Perform the following procedure:
1.
2.

3.
4.

5.

6.

Rotate at the charted V R speed to the appropriate attitude for the flaps
20/7 + slats.
Maintain the charted V 2 speed throughout the first and second segments of climb. If a speed slightly higher than the charted V 2 speed
is attained, accept that speed and climb out on it rather than an increased
pitch attitude in order to lower the speed.
When a positive rate of climb is established as indicated by both the
altimeter and vertical velocity indicators, retract the landing gear.
At the altitude selected to retract the flaps, normally a minimum of
400 feet above the airport elevation or 35 feet above close-in obstacle,
whichever is higher, begin acceleration to V 2 +25 knots.
Retract the slats and flaps, accelerate to the final segment climb speed
(1.43 V S), reduce the power on the operating engines to maximum continuous thrust, and climb at 1.43 V S to 1,500 feet above the airport
elevation.
Engine shutdown procedures may commence during the final segment
climb if the situation allows.

AIRWORKSTEEP TURNS
Steep turns may be accomplished at altitudes of 5,000 feet above ground level
and higher to a maximum altitude of 18,000 feet. Desired airspeed throughout the maneuver is 250 10 knots; bank angle is 45 5. Turns should be made
through a minimum of 180 to a maximum of 360 of travel.

AIRWORKUNUSUAL ATTITUDES
Unusual attitudes will be accomplished at an altitude of at least 10,000 feet
AGL, but not above 18,000 feet MSL.
Primary consideration should be given to smooth, unhurried recovery with a
minimum gain/loss of altitude. A minimum of two unusual attitude situations
will be given, one nose high with decreasing airspeed below 200 knots and
the other nose low with increasing airspeed above 300 knots.
Nose-high maneuvers should be given with the aircraft altitude not to exceed
30 noseup with a moderate angle of bank. Recovery is made with power, and
an increase in angle of bank not to exceed 90, in the same direction of the

turn. This type of recovery allows the nose of the aircraft to descend to the
horizon with a positive G condition, thus avoiding the adversities of negative
G forces.
Nosedown maneuvers will be given by placing the aircraft in a moderate
bank with the nose down no more than 30 below the horizon. Recovery
should be smooth, reducing power to idle, leveling the wings, and using
noseup elevator to ease the nose to the horizon. The airbrakes may be used
as required.
Proper evaluation of instrument presentations is imperative in all cases.
Verify attitude indicator presentations with the copilots and/or standby horizon. If the attitude indicator is inoperative, evaluate data given by the airspeed,
altimeter, and vertical velocity indicators.

COORDINATION MANEUVER
The objective of this maneuver is to sharpen the coordination and control skills
of the pilot while flying Dassault Aircraft and Level C simulators. This maneuver is especially helpful for pilots undergoing initial training in either the
aircraft or simulator. It is also useful for pilots undergoing current training
to assist in the application of coordination skills to the flying of the Level C
simulator.
For initial training pilots, this maneuver is performed during the first training ride in the Level C simulator; accomplishment of the maneuver is
recommended but is optional dependent upon individual pilot proficiency.
This maneuver is not a specific requirement of the FAA nor is it specified by
the aircraft manufacturer. It is designed for training use only and, through experience, has proven to be most effective in enhancing aircraft and Level C
simulator controllability of pilots in training.
This maneuver is normally accomplished after the steep turn maneuvers and
prior to the stall series. It is accomplished at the same altitude as prescribed
for the stall series. It is set up and performed as follows:
1.

2.

3.

4.

Begin a slowdown from 250 to 160 knots using airbrakes and a power
reduction. When airspeed tapers to 160 knots, retract the airbrakes and
adjust power to maintain 160 knots and assigned altitude.
Establish a 60 arc on the pilots flight director by setting the heading bug on one heading and the course arrow on a heading 60 left or
right of the heading bug. The aircraft/Level C simulator should be on
a heading within the lateral limits of the 60 arc set on the flight
director.
When established at 160 knots in the clean configuration, establish a
15 angle of bank turning maneuver alternating left and right between the lateral limits of the 60 arc. Maintain assigned altitude and
160 knots airspeed.
At the second reversal on the arc, and for each subsequent turn reversal,
incrementally configure the aircraft/Level C simulator to the landing

incrementally retract gear, flaps, and leading-edge devices at each succeeding turn reversal until the clean configuration is once again
established. Maintain assigned altitude, 160 knots airspeed, and the
15 angle of bank left and right on the 60 arc.
5. The maneuver is completed after reaching the clean configuration with
one subsequent turn reversal.
Performance criteria are:

Airspeed ................................................................................ 160 5 knots
Altitude...................................................................... Assigned 100 feet
Power limits............................................................... Not to be exceeded

APPROACH-TO-STALL SERIES
General
The approach-to-stall series should be performed at an altitude above 10,000
feet above ground level and below flight level 180. To approximate flight conditions and satisfy FAA requirements, the stall series is to be performed in
the clean, takeoff, and landing configurations. These procedures are developed for training use in the aircraft and Level C simulator.
Emphasis must be placed on proper approach-to-stall recognition, smooth and
positive aircraft control, and proper recovery procedures.
Proper recognition of an approaching stall regime can be gained through
observation of any one of the following indications:
Activation of the audible stall warning system
Illumination of the igniter lights
Onset of low-speed buffet
An angle-of-attack indicator with its pointer at the low-speed buffet
reference mark (on aircraft so equipped)
Smooth and positive aircraft control is mandatory throughout the execution
of the approach-to-stall series. Power, pitch, and bank inputs must not be abrupt
or erratic.
Prior to beginning the approach to stall series, compute the V REF and set the
airspeed bugs accordingly.

EMERGENCY DESCENT
This maneuver affords training in the recommended procedures for establishing
the highest practical rate of descent possible during emergency conditions arising from an uncontrollable fire, sudden loss of pressurization, or any other
situation dictating an immediate and rapid descent.
This procedure assumes structural integrity of the airplane. If integrity is suspect, reduce the rate of descent and avoid high load factors.
The following procedure is prescribed by the AFM:

Retard power levers to idle.
Extend the airbrakes to position 2.
Descent airspeed: M MO /V MO , smooth air conditions
ATC Transponder, MAYDAY codeSquawk 7700.
Ensure that landing gear is up.
To start the descent, the initiation of a 45 bank will expedite entry
to the descent without adversely affecting the G-loading of the aircraft. The initial descent angle should be 20 nosedown pitch on the
ADI. After the 20 nosedown is achieved, remove all bank as necessary. Contnue in a 20 nosedown pitch angle until VMO/MMO is attained.
At this time, a reduction to a nosedown pitch angle of 10 should ensure maintenance of V MO /M MO throughout the descent to the leveloff altitude.
At 1,000 feet above the level-off altitude, reduce nosedown pitch
angle to achieve a vertical velocity of not more than 2,000 feet per
minute. Retract the airbrakes, if necessary, at 500 feet above the leveloff altitude. Begin level-off to assigned altitude at 10% of the indicated
vertical velocity in the descent.

Prior to crossing high station outbound, slow the aircraft to 190 knots
in the clean configuration. If using the flight director for the approach,
the heading mode should be selected on the flight director control panel
until the aircraft is aligned within 90 of the inbound course and the
aircraft is proceeding inbound for course intercept.
At high station outbound, set the slats/flaps to S +20, and complete
the Approach checklist. Slow the aircraft to 150 knots, and maneuver through the procedure turn as prescribed on the approach chart.
When inbound from procedure turn and established for course intercept (normally a 45 intercept heading), select the approach mode on
the flight director control panel (if flight director is used for approach). Intercept the final approach course, and proceed inbound to
the final approach fix or glide-slope intercept point at the prescribed
altitude.
When the glideslope is alive and reaches 1 dot low, select the landing
gear down, and call for the Before Landing checklist.
When intercepting glideslope, extend the flaps to 40 and establish a
final approach speed of V REF plus the wind correction (1/2 the steady
wind plus the full gust, not to exceed 20 knots). Maintain the glideslope with elevator and airspeed with minor power adjustments. The
pilot making the approach will handle the throttles.
Cross-check instruments at 1,000, 500, and 100 feet above charted minimums. The pilot making the approach should remain on instruments
throughout the final approach. When a visual contact is definitely
established and a safe landing can be made, as verbally indicated by
the pilot not flying the approach, continue to the runway visually for
landing.

At high station outbound, set the slats/flaps to S +20, and complete
the Approach checklist. Slow the aircraft to 150 knots, and maneuver through the procedure turn as prescribed on the approach chart.
At the completion of procedure turn and prior to the final approach
fix (FAF), select the landing gear down, and complete the Before
Landing checklist. Maintain the airspeed at 150 knots, and cross the
FAF at this speed with all checklists accomplished.
At the FAF, start the timing; if the missed approach point is so based,
begin a descent to the minimum descent altitude (MDA) at a rate not
to exceed 1,000 feet per minute and at a speed of 150 knots. When MDA
is reached, fly the aircraft at MDA until visual contact with the runway is made or the missed approach point (MAP) is reached. If visual
contact is achieved and landing is assured, extend the flaps to 40, and
slow the aircraft to the V REF speed plus the wind correction for landing. If not visual prior to reaching the designated MAP, execute the

and .6 of a mile greater maneuvering airspace.
The typical three-engine ILS and nonprecision approach profiles are flown
except that circling approaches are flown to published circling minimums with
slats/flaps set at S +20 and at an airspeed of 150 knots. When visual in the
circle for landing, and on the downwind leg, select the landing gear down,
and complete the Before Landing checklist. Maintain 150 knots, and follow
normal VFR landing pattern procedures.
When on final approach, at or above 500 AGL, and slow to VREF plus the normal
wind corrections.

the airport or landing runway cannot be made, execute a missed approach (goaround).
Follow the missed approach instructions as depicted on the appropriate instrument approach plate used for approach.
Simultaneously apply maximum thrust to the engines, rotate the aircraft to
the go-around 14 pitch attitude, airbrakes zero, and retract the flaps to 20.
When a positive rate of climb is indicated on both the altimeter and the vertical velocity indicators, retract the landing gear. At 400 feet minimum above
airport elevation and at V REF +25 knots, retract the slats/flaps and reduce the
power to normal climb thrust. Accelerate to the normal enroute climb speeds
while climbing to the missed-approach or assigned altitude.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE


INTRODUCTION
It is the responsibility of the airplane operator to ensure that the airplane
is properly loaded. At the time of delivery, the manufacturer provides the
necessary weight and balance data to compute individual loadings. All subsequent changes in airplane weight and balance are the responsibility of the
airplane owner and/or operator. Information in this chapter begins with
weight and balance definitions.
The second portion of this chapter covers performance abbreviations and
definitions and supplies acceptable performance guidelines.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE


DEFINITIONS
Maximum Gross WeightThe maximum gross weight to which the airplane has been certified in compliance with the Federal Air Regulations.
PayloadWeight of passengers, baggage, and cargo (does not include crew
and usable fuel)
Center of Gravity (CG)The point at which the mass of an object is considered to be concentrated
Arm (or Moment Arm)The horizontal distance along the longitudinal
axis from the datum to the point where a force is applied. Normally measured
in inches, aft of the datum is plus (+), and forward of the datum is minus ().
MomentThe product of a weight or force and its moment arm (M = W A)
DatumArbitrary reference plane selected by the manufacturer from which
all measurements are made for weight and balance computations. The F-900
Datum is 25% of the mean aerodynamic chord (MAC) which coincided with
fuselage station (FS) 420.43 in (10,670 mm) (fuselage station +0 is the forward end of the airplane nose cone.
Mean Aerodynamic Chord (MAC)An imaginary constant section airfoil
that produces the same aerodynamic characteristics as the real airfoil. Due
to its constant dimensions, the MAC can be assigned fuselage station numbers for its leading and trailing edges, and all calculations and measurements
can be referenced from those points. The center of gravity is sometimes expressed as a percent of MAC. This defines the CG location as being the leading and trailing edge MAC at a certain percentage of the total distance.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

WB-1

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Example
Although seemingly complex at times, all weight and balance problems are
handled by use of the following moment equation.
(1)

Moment = Weight X Arm

This equation is the basic equation used to find the center-of-gravity location of an airplane and/or its components. By rearrangement of this equation
to the following forms,
(2)

Weight = Moment, and (3) Arm = Moment


Arm
Weight

with any two known values, the third value can be found.
In the airplane weight and balance problem, the moment equation is used many
times in calculating moments for each individual item. When all weights and
moments have been totaled, the charts provided in the Performance section
of this chapter should be used to determine CG.

Experience has shown that adherence to SOPs helps to enhance individual and
crew cockpit situational awareness and will allow a higher performance level
to be attained. Our objective is for standards to be agreed upon prior to flight
and then adhered to, such that maximum crew performance is achieved. These
procedures are not intended to supercede any individual company SOP, but
rather are examples of good operating practices.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

CHAPTER 1
AIRCRAFT GENERAL

INTRODUCTION
This training manual provides a description of the major airframe and engine systems
installed in the Falcon 900. This information is intended as an instructional aid only; it
does not supersede, nor is it meant to substitute for, any of the manufacturers system
or operating manuals. The material presented has been prepared from the basic design
data. All subsequent changes in airplane appearance or system operation will be covered during academic training and subsequent revisions to this manual.
Chapter 1 covers the structural makeup of the airplane and gives an overview of the systems. It also contains operating limitations and a pictorial walkaround of the airplane.
Appendix B in this manual displays all light indications and should be folded out for
reference while reading this manual.

GENERAL
The Falcon 900 is manufactured by Avions
Marcel Dassault-Breguet Aviation. It is a
metal, low-wing, long-range, trijet monoplane with three Garrett TFE731-5AR or
-5BR turbofan engines. The No. 1 and No. 3

Revision 3

engines are pylon-mounted on the aft fuselage; the No. 2 engine is housed inside the aft
fuselage. The Falcon 900 is designed to accommodate up to 19 passengers. The airplane
features wing leading-edge slats which are
controlled from the cockpit or are controlled
automatically by the angle-of-attack sensors.

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

The airplane is certificated in the transport


category for two-pilot operation and is approved for all-weather operation to a maximum
altitude of 51,000 feet. Extended overwater operations are authorized when the required
equipment is installed and operational.

STRUCTURES
GENERAL
The structural design of the airplane (Figure 11) conforms to the fail-safe structural concept.

The structure meets damage tolerance requirements and, therefore, as a whole, has no
life limit. The airplane is of all-metal semimonocoque construction, using sheet metal,
aluminum alloy, steel, glass fiber, plastics,
Kevlar, fabric, and other materials for secondary structure. The structure consists of
fuselage, wings, and empennage. The discussion on the fuselage includes the doors and
windows. The wings include integral (wet)
fuel tanks; fuselage tanks form a structural
part of the fuselage. General dimensions are
shown in Figure 1-2; Figure 1-3 shows the
areas of the airplane which use lightweight
structural materials.

Aft Fuselage
General
The aft fuselage section (See Figures 1-4 and 113) includes the baggage compartment and the
rear structure which bears the empennage, the aft
equipment compartment, the APU, and the three
engines. The pressurized baggage compartment
is located in the forward part of the aft section
and is accessible in flight. The unpressurized aft
equipment compartment is located immediately
aft of the baggage compartment and houses the
No. 2 engine electronic fuel computer and
hydraulic and air-conditioning components.
Access to the aft equipment compartment is
through a door with an attached step ladder on
the underside of the airplane. The door is
connected to the REAR DOORS (open) warning
light. The auxiliary power unit is located in a
fire-proof compartment under the No. 2 engine
air intake.

Baggage Compartment
Access to the pressurized baggage compartment (Figure 1-14) is through the door located in the aft partition of the lavatory and the
exterior door on the left side of the airplane.
The exterior door closes electrically and has

an integral ladder which, when stowed, contacts a microswitch located under the third
step, allowing the door motor to be powered.
The door has a key lock for security. Door
opening is annunciated in the cockpit by the
REAR DOORS light.
The exterior door is closed using the UP switch
located inside the door control access panel left
of the door. Note the placard on the panel: BEFORE CLOSING DOOR STOW LOWER

Two batteries provide normal electrical system backup power and a power source for internal engine starting. A ground receptacle
provides for electrical supply from an external DC ground power unit. Equipment which
requires stabilized 115-VAC, 400-Hz or 26VAC, 400-Hz power is provided by inverters
within each component that require AC power,
or by inverters installed as customer options.

LIGHTING
The Falcon 900 has standard navigation, anticollision, wingtip strobe, landing and taxi
lights. A wing ice inspection light is mounted
on each side of the fuselage. Interior lighting
includes cockpit, cabin, lavatory, baggage
compartment and nose cone lighting. Cockpit
lighting includes general illumination and
specific lighting for instruments and map reading. Cabin lighting provides illumination for
warning signs and specific area illumination
for passenger safety and convenience.

MASTER WARNING SYSTEM


The Falcon 900 warning system provides warning to the crew of airplane equipment malfunctions, indications of unsafe operating
conditions which require immediate attention, and indications that a particular system
is in operation. Aural warning is also used to
draw attention to selected situations. The master warning panel is mounted in the left center instrument panel.

FUEL SYSTEM

Figure 1-15. Empennage

During normal operations, the Falcon 900 fuel


system consists of three separate subsystems:
the left, center, and right. Each subsystem
normally supplies fuel to its respective engine. Interconnect and crossfeed valves allow
fuel transfer between tanks and engine fuel
feed from any tank in the event of fuel imbalance or boost pump failure. The airplane may
be pressure- or gravity-refueled.
Fuel storage consists of three tank groups: the
left wing and center wing, the forward and rear
fuselage, and the right wing and center wing

tanks. Total usable fuel capacity is 19,065


pounds; an additional 119 pounds is unusable.
Low-pressure fuel is supplied to the enginedriven fuel pumps by combined pressurization
and boost pumps. In addition, the submerged
boost pumps supply fuel for crossfeed operations, tank-to-tank transfer, and motive-flow
fuel for fuel transfer. Fuel quantity is monitored
by a DC-operated capacitance system. Singlepoint pressure refueling may be accomplished
for full or partial tanks. Gravity refueling ports
are located in the left and right wings. Drain
valves are provided to check for fuel contamination. All tanks are automatically pressurized
by low-pressure bleed air as soon as either the
No. 1 or the No. 2 engine is started.

AUXILIARY POWER UNIT


A Garrett auxiliary power unit is located in a
fire-proof compartment in the tail cone beneath
the No. 2 engine air intake. It is certificated for
ground use only. The APU provides DC electrical power when the engine generators are
not on the line, charges the airplane batteries
when the unit is operating, and may be used to
assist engine starting to prolong battery life. The
APU provides reduced starting time, starting
when the battery is low, and satisfactory cold
weather starting. In addition, the APU supplies
bleed air to the airplanes environmental system for ground heating and cooling.

POWERPLANT
Thrust is supplied by two aft-fuselage, pylonmounted engines and one centerline-mounted
engine inside the tail cone. The engines are
manufactured by Garrett Turbine Company at
Phoenix, Arizona, a division of the AlliedSignal Aerospace Company. The engines are
designated TFE731-5AR-1C or TFE731-5BR1C and are forward fan, two spool (low and
high pressure) engines which develop 4,500
pounds of static thrust at sea level at 73.4F
(23C) for the TFE731-5AR-1C and 4,750
pounds of static thrust at sea level at 77F
(25C) for the TFE731-5BR-1C. Each engine
includes a lubrication system, fuel and ignition systems, fire detection and extinguishing
systems, and engine anti-ice systems. Highly

1-12

efficient fuel scheduling is accomplished by


an electrohydromechanical fuel control and a
digital engine electronic fuel computer. The
fuel computer automatically maintains an economical and precise fuel schedule throughout
the entire spectrum of atmospheric and thrust
requirements. High- and low-pressure bleed air
is extracted from the compressors for pressurization, air conditioning, anti-icing, and
other airplane systems. The No. 2 engine only
is equipped with a thrust reverser.

FIRE PROTECTION
Fire/overheat can be detected in the three engines, auxiliary power unit, and main landing
gear wheel wells. The baggage compartment
has an optical smoke alarm installed. Visual
warning is displayed on the cockpit fire extinguisher panel and master warning panel; an
audible warning is provided by a warning
horn. Wheel well overheat (from retraction
of a hot brake) is indicated by annunciator
lights only. Five fixed Freon (Halon 1301 in
the United States) fire extinguishers are controlled by the extinguisher control switches located on the cockpit fire extinguisher panel.
For the No. 1 and No. 3 engines, a single bottle is fired. For the No. 2 engine, two extinguisher bottles are fired simultaneously
because of the greater nacelle area. The fifth
bottle is for use in either the baggage compartment or APU area. Two portable fire extinguishers are located in the cockpit and
cabin, respectively.

PNEUMATICS
High- and low-pressure engine bleed air is
extracted from each engine compressor and is
used to maintain the desired cabin and cockpit temperature and pressurization. A single
engine is capable of furnishing bleed air to support the total conditioning and pressurization
system. APU bleed air is available when on the
ground. Bleed air is also used for wing leading-edge slat heating, engine air intake antiicing, and No. 2 engine S-duct anti-icing.
Low-pressure bleed air (from main or auxiliary source) is available as soon as an engine
is started. There are no low-pressure bleed-air

shutoff valves. High-pressure bleed air is controlled by valves activated from the cockpit.
Bleed system operation is monitored
by sensors that cause illumination of lights on
the master warning panel.

ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION


The Falcon 900 is approved for flight into
known icing conditions when the required
equipment is installed and operational. The
wing leading-edge slats and the No. 2 engine
S-duct are anti-iced by engine bleed air supplied from the engine low-pressure and highpressure bleed ports. Each engine nacelle is
anti-iced from the related engine high-pressure
bleed-air port. An electropneumatic valve either isolates or supplies the system. The three
front windshield panels are heated by 28 VDC
from two separate buses: A3 for the pilots window and the left half of the center window
and B3 for the copilots window and the right
half of the center window. The side windows
are electrically heated by two bus systems
separate from the windshield heating: bus A2
supplies power to heat the forward side windows, and bus B1 supplies heating power for
both aft windows. The pitot-static, angle-ofattack, and temperature probes are electrically heated from buses A1 and B2. The pilots
and copilots windshield wipers are powered
from buses A2 and B2, respectively.

AIR CONDITIONING
Air supply for air conditioning is taken from
the low- and high-pressure bleeds of each engine. The air passes through a ram-air heat exchanger and then an environmental control
unit (ECU). Precooling of engine bleed air is
accomplished in the ram-air heat exchanger either by ram air when in flight or by the turbofan
when on the ground or during slow airspeeds.
The bleed air then flows to the turbocooler
where the conditioned air temperature is regulated by the amount of air allowed to pass
through the turbine. The more air that passes
through the turbocooler, the cooler the temperature of the conditioned air. The more air
that is allowed to bypass the turbocooler, the
warmer the temperature. The conditioned air
is then routed through a water separator to reRevision 3

move moisture. Any engine or APU bleed air


can be used for the air-conditioning system
when on the ground; only engine bleed air can
be used when airborne. Full-range manual
control of temperature is available in the event
of malfunction of automatic features.

PRESSURIZATION
The cabin is pressurized by engine bleed air
through the air-conditioning system. In automatic mode, the system ensures a maximum
cabin altitude of 8,000 feet at a pressure altitude of 51,000 feet. Zero cabin altitude can be
maintained up to 25,300 feet. Maximum differential pressure is 9.6 psi. Cabin pressure is
automatically controlled by two outflow/safety
valves installed in the rear partition of the lavatory above the baggage compartment door.
Both valves are pneumatically connected and
operate together by the difference between
cabin and ambient pressures. These valves
govern the exhausting of cabin air to the atmosphere. Safety devices completely shut off
the outflow when the cabin altitude reaches a
preset value. The nose cone has its own overpressure safety system. Full-range manual control of pressurization is available in the event
of malfunction of the automatic features.

HYDRAULIC POWER SYSTEMS


The airplane has two independent hydraulic
systems which cannot be interconnected and
an auxiliary system. The systems use hyd r a u l i c f l u i d s p e c i fi c a t i o n M I L - H - 5 6 0 6
(NATO codes H515 or H520) or AIR 3520B.
Main hydraulic power is supplied by three
self-regulating pumps driven by the corresponding engine accessory gearbox. Each
pump delivers a regulated pressure output of
2,987 50 psi (200 3.5 bars). An electric
motor-driven standby pump is used to provide standby (auxiliary) pressure to the No.
2 system should the engine-driven pump fail.
It can also be used for testing either system
on the ground; selection of the test mode is
made with a selector located in the aft equipment compartment. External hydraulic cart
connections are provided for ground checks
and maintenance testing of each system. The
hydraulic power systems provide pressure for

thrust reverser.

LANDING GEAR AND BRAKES


The Falcon 900 has retractable tricycle landing
gear consisting of a dual-wheel main gear and
a dual-wheel, steerable nose gear. The landing
gear, wheel brakes, and nosewheel steering are
all actuated by hydraulic pressure. When retracted, all gears are completely enclosed by
doors. The nose gear will turn 60 either side
of center and features an antishimmy system.
The nose gear is self-centering after lift-off.
The antiskid system is available with the normal braking system only; it modulates brake
pressure from touchdown to low speed to minimize braking distances. The hydraulic brakes
are used for normal and emergency braking and
for parking.

FLIGHT CONTROLS
Primary flight controls include ailerons, rudder, and elevators. All are hydraulically
boosted but can be manually actuated in the
event all hydraulic systems fail. Aileron and
rudder trim is hydraulic, initiated by electric
motors. All gust damping is hydraulic, but is
not dependent on hydraulic pressure, and will
operate automatically if a hydraulic system
fails. A hydraulically actuated, autopilot servocontrolled yaw damper dampens yaw oscillations. The movable horizontal stabilizer is
trimmed electrically. The secondary flight
controls consist of trailing-edge flaps, leading-edge slats, and airbrakes. They are electrically controlled and hydraulically actuated.

AVIONICS
The Falcon 900 avionics consists of the pitotstatic and air data systems, the automatic flight
guidance and control system, and other associated avionics and communications systems.
Many optional avionics are available for installation to satisfy special customer requirements and preferences in equipment.
1-14

The pitot-static system includes three pitot


probes, six static air ports, and a ram-air temperature sensor, which serve the air data computers, selected airplane systems, and
associated pilot and copilot instruments.
The standard automatic flight guidance and
control system includes the air data system, the
autopilot and flight director, the inertial reference system, and the Sperry EFIS electronic
flight instrument system. The flight director
function can be used independently of the autopilot with the pilot steering the airplane to
satisfy the flight director commands as programmed, or the autopilot may be coupled to
automatically steer the airplane to satisfy
flight director commands as programmed. The
yaw damper system operates independently of
the autopilot and may be engaged with or without the autopilot engaged.
The Sperry flight management system is a
comprehensive computer which integrates the
use of multiple navigation systems and sensors
and blends them into a single integrated position, using the best characteristics of each
type of sensor.
Falcon 900 communications equipment includes interphone, public address, air-toground, and navigation systems.

OXYGEN SYSTEM
The Falcon 900 oxygen system provides oxygen for crew and passenger use from one highpressure steel cylinder located aft of the
entrance door under the left-side floor. In flight,
oxygen is available to each pilot at all times
through a quick-donning mask with a built-in
regulator and microphone. The passengers
oxygen is available automatically at high cabin
altitudes or manually any time at the pilots discretion. Passengers can receive two different
pressures, depending on the controller setting
on the copilots console. Oxygen for therapeutic purposes is available at all times at selected cabin outlets. The pressure gage is
installed on the copilots side panel and reads
cylinder high pressure. The gage is used as a
quantity gage and is scaled from 0 to 2,200 psi.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the electrical power systems of the Falcon 900 series airplanes. All values
used for voltage, amperage, and tolerance are for illustrative purposes only. Actual values must
be obtained from the manuals and publications issued by, or on behalf of, the airplane manufacturer, the certification agency of the country of origin, and the Federal Aviation Administration.

GENERAL
The Falcon 900 uses DC power for control,
operation, and indication of the various systems
installed in the airplane.
DC power is provided by conventional nicad or
optional lead-acid batteries and engine-driven
starter-generators. An APU-driven startergenerator and a GPU generator may be used to
power the DC system when the airplane is on the
ground.

Revision 3

The Falcon 900 is unique since it does not use


conventional inverters to provide the 115- and
26-volt requirements of the airplane. The equipment requiring AC power contains integral
inverters which produce the required power for
operation of this particular equipment. Solid state
inverters may be installed to satisfy various customer options.

DC POWER SYSTEM
GENERAL
The DC power system of the Falcon 900 is a
conventional 24- to 28.5-volt system, which has
four power sourcesbatteries, engine-driven
starter-generators, and an APU-driven startergenerator for ground operation only. Provisions
are also incorporated to provide DC power from
a ground power unit (GPU).
The batteries provide the basic source of DC
power to the entire distribution system, surge
damping for the generators, as well as power
for starting the engines. The batteries are also
capable of an emergency in-flight source of
power for a limited period if the engine-driven
generators fail.
Any engine-driven generator is capable of powering the entire DC system, providing battery
charging, and, through a logic system, assisting engine starting.

The APU-driven starter-generator is also capable of powering the entire DC system, in addition to charging the batteries and assisting in
engine starting, while the airplane is on the
ground.
An approved GPU may be used for prolonged
periods to power the DC system to facilitate
maintenance and servicing. The GPU may also
be used for engine starting, but it cannot be used
to charge the batteries, unless a GPU aircraft
battery charging system option is installed on the
aircraft.
Figure 2-1 depicts the major electrical components
of the DC power system and their locations.

DISTRIBUTION BUSES
DC power distribution is achieved by a multiplebus system consisting of eight separate buses,
as follows: battery bus, starter bus, left main
bus, right main bus, bus A1, bus A2, bus B1,
and bus B2 (Figure 2-2).

The DC distribution system normally operates


as independent left and right systems. These two
systems may be interconnected, when and if
required, by a selective bus-tie system. The bus
tie must be selected closed for APU and engine
starting. The bus tie automatically closes when
a GPU is connected and selected for operation.
This will be described in detail later in this
chapter.

PROTECTION
Circuit protection is provided by conventional
trip-free circuit breakers (Figure 2-3) located
above the overhead panel. Feeder cables are protected by current limiters. Special anticrush

sheathing is provided for the battery cables,


which can provide thermal protection up to a
temperature of 250C.

INDICATION AND WARNING


Voltmeters and ammeters on the overhead switch
panel (Figure 2-4) provide crew indication for
the DC power system. The voltmeters are
directly connected to their left or right main bus.
The ammeters are selective, and each is controlled by an associated three-position ammeter
selector switch located below the instrument.
Lights on the warning panel (Figure 2-5 and
Appendix B) alert the crew to malfunctions in
the system.

NOTE:
ON AIRCRAFT WITHOUT ELECTRONIC TRANSFER VALVE XTK2, THE OVERHEAD PANEL
DOES NOT FEATURE THE BLOCK DIAGRAM AND XTK2 SWITCH.

General
Two 26-volt, 23-ampere-hour, steel-cased,
nickel-cadmium batteries are mounted near the
main electrical box (Figure 2-6) in the rear compartment. Batteries with a capacity of 36 ampere
hours are also available as an option. Each
battery contains 20 cells. The batteries are
connected by standard quick-disconnect
adapters.

protrudes through the lower fuselage skin. The


protruding section is scarfed to create a low pressure in the vent duct during flight, resulting in
continuous ventilation.
On the ground the battery blower is operational
when the BAT 2 switch is on and the power
selector switch is at the NORMAL position.

Monitoring

Ventilation
The batteries are ventilated on the ground and
in flight. An electrical battery blower (Figure
2-6) provides ventilation on the ground. The
blower forces air through the battery cases,
which exhausts into a Y-shaped duct. The duct

Battery temperature is continuously monitored


by probes installed between battery cells. The
temperature signals are amplified and transmitted to a dual-scale, dual-needle gage (Figure 2-7)
located on the lower right side of the copilots
instrument panel. The scales are calibrated in
degrees up to 190F and are color-coded

green, amber, and red. The green range extends


from 100 to 120F, the amber range from 120 to
150F, (SNs 132 and subsequent to 160F) and the
red range from 150 to 190F (SNs 132 and subsequent from 160F to 190F). The dial face has two
lights, one amber and one red. The amber light
comes on when a battery temperature exceeds
120F. The red light comes on when a battery temperature exceeds 150F (SNs prior to 172 without
SB-94) or 160F (SNs 172 and subsequent).
This red light operates in conjunction with the
HOT BAT light on the warning panel (Appendix
B). The instrument may be tested by a pushbutton switch labeled TEST near the gage.
When this switch is pushed and held, the needles
move up scale, and the amber and red lights
come on as the needles pass through 120 and
150F, respectively.
The word OFF is printed at the top of each
scale. If the sensors on the battery are disconnected, the affected scale needle will go to
the OFF position. The battery-temperaturesensing system includes an extended-range
selector push-button switch, labeled LESS
50F, located near the gage. When battery temperature is low, pushing this button adds 50F to
the battery temperature indication, so subtract
50F from the indicated test reading to obtain
the actual battery temperature.

Aircraft 172
Temperature level is sensed by a thermistor
installed at a corner of each battery between two
elements. The thermistors are connected to a
battery temperature indicator on the copilot
instrument panel (Figure 2-7A). This thermistor
controls a digital temperature indicator graduated from 32 to 200F.

A HOT light illuminates to indicate that the relevant battery temperature is 160F. This light is
coupled to the HOT BAT light on the warning
panel.
A TEST test button located next to the indicator
allows testing of the battery temperature indicator. If the test is correct, the indicator displays
TEST GOOD otherwise it displays TEST ERR.
In case of thermistor short-circuit or open circuit (thermistor disconnected), the indicator
displays ERR.

Control
The batteries are controlled by individual twoposition magnetic switches labeled BAT 1 and
BAT 2 on the overhead switch panel (Figure
2-4). These switches trip to the off (down)
position when the associated make-and-break
switch opens due to excessive current flow to the
batteries. The switches also act as reset switches
for the make-and-break switches when moved to
the on (up) position, provided that the cause of
the trip has cleared.
When both battery switches are off (down) and
both batteries are installed and connected, their
output is supplied directly and in parallel to the
battery bus through a circuit breaker and diode
for each battery. Battery power is now available
for certain essential services, which will be described later under DC power Distribution.

When the relevant battery temperature is <32F


(0C), the indicator displays COLD. When the
relevant battery temperature is >200F (93.3C),

to the right main bus. Power from the right main
bus is supplied to bus B1 and bus B2 through
current limiters. The left main bus is not powered
since the bus tie is open. When the battery

Figure 2-9 depicts that the BAT 1 switch is on,


the power selector switch is at NORMAL and
all other switches are off. The battery 1 contactor and battery 1 make-and-break switch simultaneously close. The battery 1 contactor connects
battery 1 to the start bus, and the make-and-break
reverse current relay (RCR) connects the start
bus and battery 1 to the left main bus. The battery 1 contactor and the battery 1 make-andbreak RCR each remove a ground from the BAT
1 light, which goes out, indicating that battery
1 is powering the start bus and the left main bus.
The power from the left main bus is supplied
through current limiters and feeder cables to bus
A1 and bus A2 (Figure 2-2). The right main bus
is not powered since the bus tie is open. The left
DC voltmeter indicates the voltage of battery 1.
The power selector switch must be in the NORMAL position since the control power for both
the battery 1 contactor and the battery 1 makeand-break RCR is routed through the NORMAL
contacts of this switch.

Figure 2-11 depicts that both battery switches


are on, the power selector switch is at NORMAL
and the bus-tie switch is open. Battery 1 is powering
the left main bus and buses A1 and A2,
as previously described in Figure 2-9. Battery
2 is powering the right main bus and buses B1
and B2, as shown in Figure 2-10. Since the bus
tie is open, there is no connection between the

For APU starting, control, and operation, see


Chapter 6, Auxiliary Power Unit, in this
training manual.

The APU generator is rated at 30 volts, 300


amps and is regulated at 28.5 volts by an
associated generator control unit (GCU)
mounted in the rear compartment. The APU
generator is available for ground operation only
since the APU is not certificated for flight operation. The APU generator GCU provides a number of operations, including overvoltage and
overcurrent protection for the APU generator.

Rating

Following an APU start and acceleration to 97%


+ 4 seconds, the APU generator RCR closes
and connects the generator directly to the right
main bus and also supplies buses B1 and B2.
Since the bus tie is already closed (to enable
APU starting), the APU generator also supplies
the left main bus and buses A1 and A2. In addition, battery 1 is charged and the battery bus is
powered through the battery 1 make-and-break
switch and the battery 1 line contactor. The start
bus is also powered from the left main bus
through the battery 1 make-and-break switch.
Battery 2 is charged (and the battery bus receives
power) from the right main bus through the battery 2 make-and-break switch. In this configuration, battery 2 does not supply the start bus. The
APU generator may be paralleled with any or all
engine-driven generators.

15

A combination starter-generator is mounted on


the accessory drive section of the APU (Figure
2-14). The generator includes an integral fan
which induces cooling air through the generator from a flush intake on the left side of the rear
fuselage.

Unlatching the APU generator switch while the


APU is operating causes loss of the excitation
circuit; the APU generator drops off the line,
and the APU electronic control unit transmits
a stop signal to the APU causing it to shut down.

General

The switch must be in the latched position with


the switchlight on and the bus-tie switch must
be in the tied position before the APU can be
started. The APU generator switchlight goes out
when the GCU senses an overvoltage or overcurrent condition.

APU GENERATOR

The APU generator excitation and control is


achieved by a green switchlight labeled APU,
located on the DC SYSTEM section of the overhead switch panel. It has two positions: latched
(pushed in) with the green light illuminated and
unlatched (out) with the light extinguished.

Figure 2-13 depicts a typical installation for battery bus circuits. Other optional circuits may be
installed by the operator; if so, they will be listed
in the AFM supplements.

available to all the installed circuitry unless at


least one battery switch or one generator switch
is on. In addition, if the GPU is connected and
operating and the GPU switch is in the EXT
POWER position, all of the installed circuits are
powered from the ground power source, including the battery bus.

While the APU is operating, the green switchlight labeled MASTER APU is on, and the
amber lights labeled OIL and GEN are both
off. These lights are located on the APU control
section of the overhead switch panel. The green
excitation switchlight labeled APU, located
above the GEN 3 control switch, is also on. If
the APU generator disconnects from the line for
any reason, the GEN light comes on. This light
also comes on, in some cases, when the APU
generator is providing a start-assist for an engine
since the APU start relay is closed for the duration of the start; however, the APU generator
may disconnect from the distribution system.
The light, if on, must go out when the engine
start terminates; if it does not, the APU start
relay has failed to open and corrective action is
required. The APU load to the buses may be determined by moving the right ammeter selector
to the APU position. The left and right voltmeters indicate bus voltage.

to 97% + 4 seconds, the APU generator RCR
closes, connecting the generator to the right main
bus and the associated B1 and B2 buses. The amber GEN light on the APU control panel goes
out, indicating that the APU generator is on line.
Since the bus tie must be closed for APU starting, the left main bus and its associated A1 and
A2 buses are all powered from the right main
bus. The BAT 1 switch is on; therefore, the battery 1 contactor and its associated make-andbreak switch are both closed, allowing the APU
generator power to supply the start bus and battery bus and provide charging for battery 1.

APU Generator Installation

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

The amber APU generator RCR light is


armed for operation only when the green
APU MASTER switchlight is latched
in. It remains on during APU starting and
acceleration to 97% + 4 seconds. Then it
goes off and comes on again, only if the
APU generator disconnects from the line
for any reason or if the APU start relay
fails to open, either following an APU start
or after an APU generator-assisted start
of any engine.

APU generator amperage to the right main bus


may be selected on the right ammeter by moving
the selector switch located below the right
ammeter to the APU position. The charge or discharge rates of the batteries are indicated when
the ammeter selector switches are in the center
BAT positions.

Operation
Figure 2-15 depicts that the APU is operating,
the green APU MASTER switchlight is on, and
the APU (green) excitation switchlight is latched

General
A combination DC starter-generator is mounted
on and driven by the accessory gear of each engine. The generators are attached to the accessory case by a quick-disconnect adapter.

Cooling
The generators are cooled by air directed from
the fan duct. The air is circulated through the
generator case (Figure 2-16), the brush ring, and
brush housing, thus providing cooling and brush
dust elimination.

Rating
The generators are rated at 30 volts and 300
amps. A generator control unit (GCU) provides
regulation and protection for each generator. The
associated solid-state GCU regulates the generator at 28.5 volts and provides a field weakening system to maintain generator torque when
being used as an engine starter. The integral protection systems in the GCUs provide automatic
equalization for all three engine-driven generators

and the APU generator if all four generators are


on and the bus tie is closed, or GEN 2 and the
APU generator are automatically paralleled on
the right main bus when on and the bus tie is
open. An overvoltage and overcurrent protection
system in the associated GCUs automatically trip
the affected generator whenever voltage is above
32 volts or if output current exceeds design limits.

Control
Each generator is controlled by a two-position
magnetic switch located on the DC SYSTEM
section of the overhead switch panel. The switch
positions are unlabeled. They must be on (up)
for all operation, including engine starting. Generator faults detected by the GCUs, such as overvoltage or overcurrent, cause these switches to
automatically trip to the off (down) position.
Physically moving a tripped generator switch to
the on (up) position will reset the generator, provided that the fault no longer exists. The generator switches should be turned off if an engine
is inoperative and windmilling in flight.
A guarded line disconnect control switch for
each generator is located on the main electrical
box in the rear compartment (Figure 2-13).
These switches provide the control circuits and
equalization for the generator line contactors
(RCRs) and are for maintenance use only.

The auto load-shed system is disabled through


the ground/flight relay circuit with the aircraft
on the ground.

Indication
The voltmeters located on the DC SYSTEM section of the overhead switch panel provide indication of voltage for the associated bus when the
bus tie is open or the highest bus voltage when the
bus tie is closed. The left and right ammeters are
selective through the three-position selector
switches located below the ammeters. The left
switch is labeled GEN 1BAT 1GEN 3, and
the right switch is labeled GEN 2BAT 2
APU. Moving a switch to any generator or
APU position facilitates reading the output of
the selected unit. When the switches are at the
BAT positions with a generator operating, the
ammeters indicate the charge rate of the associated battery. The switches are normally in the
BAT positions for all flight operations.
Three amber lights on the warning panel, labeled
GEN 1, GEN 2, and GEN 3, provide dual
indication for the associated generator. The
affected light comes on if the generator reverse
current relay opens, indicating that the generator
is off the line, or the affected start relay has failed
to open at the termination of the start cycle.

Operation
Automatic Cabin Electrical
Load-Shed System
In the event of the loss of one generators output, certain A6 bus items such as galley, lavatory, and cabin entertainment system operation
will automatically be load-shed.
After proper electrical load reduction by the
crew an AUTO LOAD SHED switch located on
the copilots side console may be placed in the
OVERRIDE position to allow power to be reapplied to the items previously shed.
In the event of a second generator failure, the
system will auto load-shed a second time with
no flight crew option to bring any of the loadshed items back on line.

Revision 4.01

Figure 2-17 depicts that the No. 3 engine has


been started, using the batteries. The start has
terminated and the generator 3 RCR is closed,
connecting generator 3 to the left main bus and
its associated A1 and A2 buses. Since the bus
tie is closed, generator 3 power is also transmitted to the right main bus and the associated
B1 and B2 buses. Battery 1 is being charged
through its make-and-break switch and the battery 1 contactor. Battery 2 is being charged
through its make-and-break switch. The warning panel shows that the BAT 1, BAT 2, and
GEN 3 lights are all off, while the GEN
1, GEN 2, and BUS TIED lights remain on.

Figure 2-18 depicts that the No. 2 engine has


been started. The start was assisted by generator 3, since the APU generator is not operating
(see Chapter 7, Powerplant, for starting
details). As the No. 2 engine start terminates, the
generator 2 RCR closes, connecting generator 2
to the right main bus; it automatically parallels
with generator 3 since the bus tie is closed. The
warning panel shows that the GEN 2, GEN 3,
BAT 1, and BAT 2 lights are all off while the
GEN 1 and BUS TIED lights remain on.

Generators 1 and 3 are operating in parallel on


the left main bus, which is also powering buses
A1 and A2, the start bus, and the battery bus
and charging battery 1. Generator 2 is powering the right main bus and the associated B1 and
B2 buses as a nonparalleled independent unit;
it is also powering the battery bus and charging
battery 2. The warning panel shows that all generator lights, both battery lights, and the BUS
TIED light are off, indicating a normal operating configuration.

Figure 2-19 depicts that all three engines are operating and all three engine-driven generators are
on line. The airplane is ready for takeoff; therefore, the bus-tie switch is in the FLIGHT NORM
position, separating the left and right distribution buses into separate and independent
systems.

If the No. 2 engine is shut down or if generator


2 fails, the bus tie must be closed to restore
power to the right main bus and the associated
B1 and B2 buses, and to provide charging for
battery 2.

GROUND POWER UNIT


General
An approved external power unit (GPU) (generator or rectifier) may be connected to the standard three-pin receptacle (Figure 2-20) located
externally on the aft right side of the airplane.
The unit should be a constant-voltage unit capable of negligible droop when operating at maximum load. The maximum rating should not
exceed 1,200 amps, and the voltage should be
regulated at 28 VDC.

Protection
Overvoltage protection is provided by a magnetic coil controlled by a PCB (printed circuit
board). When output voltage reaches approximately 31 1 VDC volts, the PCB energizes the
magnetic coil and disconnects the GPU from the
distribution system. A reset pushbutton is
provided at the main electrical box (Figure
2-20); momentarily pushing this switch resets
the GPU, provided that the fault no longer exists.

Control
The GPU is controlled by a two-position power
selector switch located on the overhead switch
panel (Figure 2-4). The switch positions are
labeled NORMAL and EXT POWER.
When in the EXT POWER position, the battery 1 contactor and battery 2 make-and-break
switch open, isolating both batteries (BAT 1 and
BAT 2 lights come on).
Figure 2-21 illustrates operation of the GPU.
The bus tie automatically closes (even if the bustie switch is off), and the BUS TIED light comes
on. The generators, including the APU generator,
are inhibited whenever external power is operating and is connected to the airplane. The
GPU contactor closes and connects the output
from the GPU to the start bus. A separate ground
is applied to the battery 1 make-and-break

2-20

switch, closing it and connecting the start bus


to the left main bus. This power is transmitted
to buses A1 and A2 and, through the bus tie,
to the right main bus and buses B1 and B2. The
GPU may now be used to start one or all engines, or it may be used for servicing and/or
checking the airplanes systems. As long as this
condition prevails, GEN 1, GEN 2, and GEN
3 lights remain on.
The bus tie interconnects the main buses and is
grounded independently by the EXT POWER
position of the power selector switch.
The battery bus is powered from the GPU
through the start bus.

DC POWER
DISTRIBUTION
GENERAL
The distribution buses are installed in the circuitbreaker panels (Figure 2-3) on the cockpit headliner aft of the overhead switch panel. They are
divided among the left, center, and right panels.
Four feeder cables (protected by current limiters)
route power from the main electrical box in the
rear compartment (Figures 2-1 and 2-13) to the
circuit-breaker panels. Two of these feeder cables
are routed along the left side of the fuselage to
buses A1 and A2 in the left circuit-breaker panel
and in the left section of the center circuitbreaker panel. Similar feeders are routed along
the right side of the fuselage to buses B1 and B2
in the right circuit-breaker panel and in the right
section of the center circuit-breaker panel.
The circuit breakers are grouped by systems on
the associated circuit-breaker panel and are enclosed by colored lines for ease of identification.

PRIORITY DISTRIBUTION

AVIONICS MASTERS

Certain circuits are given priority classification


and are normally powered from bus A1. If bus
A1 fails, these circuits are automatically powered from bus B1. The following systems are
included in this priority group:

Selective powering is available for the avionics


system, primarily to permit shutoff when on the
ground and the avionics system is not required.
Two latching push-on, push-off switches (Figures
2-2 and 2-3) labeled L/H AVIONICS
MASTER and R/H AVIONICS MASTER are
located, one each, on the lower side of the left
and right circuit-breaker panels. When either is
pushed in, two relays are energized, disconnecting power from the associated avionics system. A similar system installed as a customer
option provides for selective powering of the
respective flight management systems controlled by two FMS switches adjacent to the L/H
and R/H AVIONICS MASTER switches.

Figure 2-22 depicts the priority distribution


system in its normal configuration. The operating power supply is from A1. When power fails
on bus A1, the transfer relay is deenergized,
and the circuits are then powered from bus B1.

INTRODUCTION
The Falcon 900 lighting system is divided into interior and exterior lighting. Interior
lighting includes cockpit, passenger compartment, baggage compartment, rear compartment, and nose cone lighting. Cockpit lighting includes general illumination and
specific lighting for instruments and map reading. Passenger compartment lighting
provides illumination for warning signs and specific area illumination for passenger
safety and convenience. Individual lights are provided for the rear compartment, baggage compartment, and nose cone. Exterior lighting consists of navigation, landing,
taxi, anticollision, wingtip strobe, and wing ice detection lights.

GENERAL
The cockpit employs several types of lighting. Rheostat controlled, integrated lights are
located in the instrument panel, pedestal, console, overhead panel, and digital displays. A
rheostat also controls pilot and copilot map

ANTICOLLISION LIGHTS
There are two red anticollision strobe lights
(Figure 3-16): one centered on the fin fairing
and the other on the underside of the fuselage.

international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Each light has an intensity rating of 100 candle power. The vertical fin and belly anticollision lights are supplied by power supply boxes
that deliver pulsating high-voltage current. The
two power supply boxes are synchronized so
that the two lights function simultaneously.

The lights are controlled with the threeposition ANTICOL switch that is also used
for the strobe lights. In OFF the anticollision
and strobe lights are extinguished. In RED
only the anticollision lights function. In ALL
both anticollision and strobe lights function.

STROBE LIGHTS
One white high-intensity light (400 candle
power) is mounted on each wingtip (Figure 317) in a common enclosure with the navigation
light. The lights are supplied by power supply
boxes that deliver high-voltage current in triggered pulses. The two power supply boxes are
synchronized to create simultaneous flashes.
The lights are controlled with the ANTICOL
switch (Figure 3-16) whose functions are described in the Anticollision Lights section.

LANDING LIGHTS
Two 600-watt white lights (Figure 3-18) are located in housings in either wing-to-fuselage
fairing. Each one is provided with a clear cover.
The lights are controlled with the LANDING
switch on the overhead panel.

TAXI LIGHT
The 150-watt white taxi light (Figure 3-19) is
mounted on the nose gear strut and illuminates
the area in front of the airplane during taxiing.
Control is accomplished with the taxi switch
located on the EXTERIOR LIGHTS panel.
This switch also controls a relay that enables
the taxi light power supply when the nose gear
is downlocked. Therefore, if the nose gear is
not downlocked, the taxi light is extinguished
regardless of switch position.

CHAPTER 4
MASTER WARNING SYSTEM

TEST

INTRODUCTION
The master warning system on the Falcon 900 provides a warning of airplane equipment
malfunctions and unsafe operating conditions which require immediate attention or an
indication that a particular system is in operation. A system of aural tones is also used
to draw attention to certain system situations.

GENERAL
The warning system makes possible the presentation and testing of warning and indication circuits for the various airplane systems.
Included in the warning group are the warning panel, hydraulic control and indicator
panel, overhead panel, thrust reverser lights,
and interstage temperature lights.

Revision 1

A panel with 52 annunciator lights is mounted


in the center instrument panel in front of the
pilot. These annunciators and the ones on
associated panels, along with some aural tones,
are designed to alert the pilot to abnormal or
undesirable system conditions. The panel is
known as the warning panel, and the tones are
generated by the aural warning system.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

4-1

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

WARNING PANEL
The warning panel (Figure 4-1 and Appendix
B) provides a means of alerting the pilot to
certain system conditions or malfunctions. The
annunciators are either red or amber and illuminate for the causes listed in Table 4-1. Each
annunciator contains two bulbs and an engraved
legend identifying the corresponding system.

A TEST switch is provided to illuminate all annunciator lights and to verify bulb integrity.
Electric power is normally provided from the
A1 bus through circuit breaker EX WARN
LIGHTS A. In the event of a normal electric system failure, power is automatically transferred
to the B1 bus and fed through circuit breaker
EX WARN LIGHTS B. A BRIGHTDIM
switch is provided to dim some of the annunciators during night flight.

NOTE:
ON AIRCRAFT WITHOUT TRANSFER VALVE XTK2, THE WARNING
PANEL DOES NOT FEATURE XTK2 OPEN OR XTK2 CLOSED LIGHTS.

PRIORITY WARNINGS

GENERAL
The audio warning system alerts the crew to configuration anomalies or certain operational conditions. The unit is located in the pedestal and
issues warning sounds through the cockpit loudspeaker or the pilot and copilot headsets.
The sounds are generated by a transistorized
audio warning unit which includes four
potentiometers. The potentiometers are designated for:

The stall and VMO /M MO warnings have priority over all others. They cannot be triggered
simultaneously with the other warnings, with
the exception of the horizontal stabilizer in
movement warning (rattle noise).
Next in priority is the fire warning. It cannot
be triggered simultaneously with other warnings, with the exception of the horizontal stabilizer-in-movement warning.

OPERATION
When airplane power is turned on, the master
warning and annunciator lights circuit is energized with 28 volts. Illumination of one of
the annunciators occurs when its corresponding system experiences a failure, is turned
off, or has not been actuated. The annunciator extinguishes only when the illuminating
malfunction and/or circumstance has been

Intensity of most annunciators may be decreased by means of the BRIGHTDIM switch.
When placed in the DIM position, each annunciators intensity is reduced by approximately half. To return the annunciators to
normal intensity, the switch must be placed to
the BRIGHT position.

NOTE
Power for the master warning panel
is normally supplied from bus A1. If

INTRODUCTION
During normal operations, the Falcon 900 fuel system consists of three separate subsystems: the left, center, and right. Each subsystem normally supplies fuel to its respective
engine. Interconnect and crossfeed valves allow fuel transfer between tanks and engine
fuel feed from any tank in the event of fuel imbalance or boost pump failure. The airplane may be pressure- or gravity-refueled or defueled.

GENERAL
Fuel storage consists of three tank groups: the
left wing and center wing, the forward and
rear fuselage, and the right wing and center
wing tanks. Total usable fuel capacity is 19,065
100 pounds; an additional 119 pounds is unusable. Weights are calculated for a fuel density of 6.7 pounds per gallon. Low-pressure
fuel is supplied to the engine-driven fuel
pumps by combined pressurization and boost
pumps. In addition, the submerged boost
pumps supply fuel for crossfeed operations,

Revision 3

tank-to-tank transfer, and motive-flow fuel


for fuel transfer. Fuel quantity is monitored by
a DC-operated capacitance system. Singlepoint pressure refueling may be accomplished
for full or partial tanks. Gravity refueling
ports are located in the left and right wings.
Drain valves are provided to check for fuel
contamination. All tanks are automatically
pressurized by low-pressure bleed air as soon
as either No.1 or No. 2 engine is started.

Throughout this chapter a color code is used to


designate tank group fuel or tank group function. Amber designates group 1, green designates group 2, and yellow is used for group 3.

FUEL STORAGE
GENERAL
Three fuel tank groups comprise the Falcon
900 fuel storage. Group 1 consists of the left
wing and the left center wing tanks. Group 2
consists of the forward and rear fuselage tanks.
Group 3 consists of the right wing and right
center wing sections. All tanks are part of the
airplane structure. Table 5-1 lists the fuel tank
capacities.

WING TANKS
Group 1 and group 3 integral tanks normally supply the No. 1 and No. 3 engines, respectively.
The tanks (Figure 5-1) are divided into

TANK GROUP

compartments with flapper valves to allow fuel


flow inboard and into the No. 1 and No. 3 boost
pump compartments. Fuel in the outboard portions of each wing is also transferred into the
center wing sections by jet pumps using motive
flow fuel from the No. 1 and No. 3 boost pumps.
The tanks are confined chordwise between
the front and rear wing spars and spanwise between the center wing partition and the wing
end rib. Each wing is divided into two sections, outboard and inboard, which are separated by a rib with interconnection holes and
flapper valves. The wing skin forms the top
and bottom surfaces of the Group 1 and Group
3 tanks. As shown in Figure 5-1, the boost
pump compartments are located in the aft part
of each center wing section, and each contains
one electrical, submerged, centrifugal boost
pump for its respective tank group. The outboard end of each wing has a negative
pressure-relief valve to ensure that internal
tank pressures do not fall below atmospheric
pressure. The internal surfaces of the tanks
are covered with a special coating to minimize
bacterial growth and corrosion. Each left and
right wing has sump drains and a gravity
filler port, covered later in this chapter.

FRONT AND REAR FUSELAGE


TANKS
The front and rear fuselage tanks comprise
the group 2 tanks, which normally supply the
No. 2 engine and auxiliary power unit (APU).
These tanks form a structural part of the fuselage. As shown in Figure 5-1, the front tank
is located immediately forward of the wing
center section. The rear tank is aft of the main
landing gear wheel wells. Two electric, submerged, centrifugal boost pumps are located
in the forward compartment of the rear tank.
The front and rear tanks are interconnected by
two pipes which allow air and, if necessary,
fuel circulation between the tanks. Two fuel
transfer pipes also connect the two tanks.
Sump drains are provided. No gravity filler
port is provided for the group 2 tanks; when
the airplane is gravity-refueled, the transfer
system must be used to fill the tanks.

FUEL SYSTEM
CONTROLS
Fuel system controls are located on the
overhead panel and the center instrument panel.
The overhead panel is arranged schematically,
representing the basic fuel system configuration.
Controls located on the overhead panel include:
Two BOOSTER switches (one for each
wing tank)These are two-position
toggle switches which are used to turn
the group 1 or group 3 boost pump on or
off.
A single BOOSTER switch (for group
2)This is a three-position switch with
positions marked OFFST-BYNORM.
It controls the two group 2 boost pumps
as follows:
OFFWhen in the OFF position, both
boost pumps are off.
ST-BYWhen positioned to ST-BY,
only the standby boost pump is
energized.
NORMWhen in the NORM posi-

5-4

tion, only the normal boost pump is


energized. If either the 1 2 or
2 3 crossfeed valves are opened
by selection of a rotary X-BP crossfeed switch to crossfeed while the
switch is in NORM, the standby boost
pump will then operate automatically,
in conjunction with the normal pump.
Three rotary crossfeed selector switches
labeled X-BPThese switches allow
crossfeed from any tank group to any engine when circumstances dictate.
A three-position XTK (tank interconnect) toggle switchWhen in the left or
right position (center is off), the XTK
solenoid valve will open, allowing fuel
pressure to then open the interconnection valve between group 1 and group
3 tanks. This switch, when selected to
the left or right position, controls
through a logic circuit, the position of
the group 1 and group 3 interconnection
valves, allowing fuel leveling between
the group 1 and group 3 tanks. The
switch and XTK valve will function
only when the rotary X-BP
1 3 interconnect switch is open.
A switch identified XTK 2 for aircraft
equipped with electric transfer valve
XTK 2 (aircraft without SB F900-48).
This three-position switch marked
CLOSEDOPENAUTO allows positive manual control (OPEN or
CLOSED) or automatic operation of the
front/rear tank electric isolation (transfer solenoid) valve.
Controls located on the center instrument
panel include:

Three guarded FUEL SHUT OFF toggle


switchesWhen positioned off, the switch
closes the respective fuel shutoff valve,
located in the belly fuel well between the
main landing gear.

A pushbutton marked TOT REARIn normal operation the group 2 fuel quantity gage
reads total fuel in the front and rear tanks.
When the button is depressed, the gage reads
rear tank fuel quantity only.

FUEL DISTRIBUTION

FUEL TRANSFER SYSTEM

GENERAL

Front-to-Rear Tank Transfer


Aircraft Fitted with Fuel
Transfer Valve XTK 2, Aircraft
without SB F900-48

Distribution of fuel from the wing and fuselage


tanks is aided by the tank air pressurization system. Fuel transfer by jet pump or via gravity
is possible from the front fuselage tank to the
rear tank. Transfer is also possible between
any two lateral tank groups for fuel leveling,
if necessary. Jet pumps transfer fuel internally
in all tank groups. Boost pumps are the primary
means of supplying fuel to the engines.
For operators with an approved Minimum
Equipment List, dispatch with a boost pump
inoperative is possible, provided that the wing
tanks are pressurized. An air pressure gage is
located in the rear equipment compartment to
confirm tank pressurization.

FUEL TANK
PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM
The fuel tanks are automatically pressurized by
low-pressure bleed air from No. 1 and No. 2 engines as soon as either engine is started (Figure
5-3). The system is completely automatic. The
pressure is regulated by the following:
A pressure-reducing valve downstream
from the engine bleed
Two valve boxes which include pressure-relief and negative pressure-relief
valves
A negative pressure-relief valve in each
wingtip

Description
In addition to the two air/fuel pressurization
interconnect pipes which link the front and
rear fuselage tanks, two fuel transfer pipes are
installed (Figure 5-4). The right pipe is positioned for gravity transfer of fuel from front
to rear only until the fuel level reaches onethird of its capacity. The left pipe can be used
for gravity transfer, or fuel can be transferred
normally using a jet pump installed in the
rear tank. This pipe is installed to draw fuel
from the bottom of the front tank. A transfer
valve in this pipe is opened or closed by a logic
control circuit to ensure sequential consumption of fuel from the front tank. The
valve closes to conserve one-third of the front
tank capacity while the contents of the rear
tank are consumed.
The logic control circuit includes:
A fuel level detector located in the front
tank at a level approximately 100 pounds
higher than the right (gravity flow) pipe
fuel flow cutoff level (1,200 pounds)
Two level detectors located in the rear
tank at the 1,100- and 1,400-pound levels
An electric transfer solenoid valve installed in the left transfer pipe

The pressurization system includes:


Two automatic drains which drain fuel
out of two air pressure pipes when there
is no pressure but close as soon as the
pressure reaches 1 psi

XTK 2 CLOSEDThis indicates that
the transfer valve is closed when it
should be open.
XTK 2 OPENThis indicates that the
transfer valve is open when it should be
closed.
The CLOSEDOPENAUTO switch on the
overhead panel can directly control opening
and closing of the valve, overriding the control logic. The XTK lights will indicate the
control switch positions until the valve position agrees with the switch position.
The transfer valve has a clutch-release actuator installed which can be used to open the
valve manually from inside the pressurized
cabin. The control is built into the cabin floor,
even with the left No. 11 window. It consists
of a retractable handle (see Figure 5-5A) to
which access is gained by lifting up the car-

pet and padding and removing the transparent


tape covering the handle. An adjacent placard
explains operation.
The following two configurations require the
use of the manual control to reposition the
transfer valve:
The valve has failed in the closed position, and the 1,200 pounds of fuel
trapped in the front tank must be used.
The valve has failed in the open position,
and the rear center-of-gravity limit may
be affected.

NOTE
In the second configuration, the rear
limit is reached only if the airplane
balance is greater than 29% MAC,
and if the remaining fuel capacity in
each tank group is between 2,500
and 1,500 pounds. Even in this case,
however, use of the manual control
can be avoided if group 2 fuel is

consumed first.

The following applies to aircraft not fitted


with the XTK 2 fuel transfer valve (aircraft
with SB F900-48):
The fuel flow, provided by gravity transfer from the front to rear fuselage tanks
assisted by the jet pump in the rear tank,
is in most cases higher than the amount
of fuel consumed from the rear tank
(supplied to engine 2).
This results in the following consumption sequence:
Consumption of fuel in forward tank
until empty, then,
Consumption of fuel in rear tank
This consumption sequence leads to a
variation in the CG of the aircraft, which
has to be compensated by an aft CG limitation for the zero fuel weight.

Internal Tank Transfer


Internal tank transfer is accomplished by jet
pumps using motive flow fuel from the respective boost pumps. Each wing tank group uses
four jet pumps; the fuselage tanks use two jet
pumps for internal transfer in addition to a third
jet pump used for fuel transfer from front tank
to rear tank. Refer to Figure 5-4 and Engine Feed
System, this chapter, for additional information.

Boost Pumps
Four identical, three-phase, AC-powered,
submerged, centrifugal fuel boost pumps are
installed in the Falcon 900 fuel system. Each
pump has a built-in inverter which converts
28 VDC to 115 VAC 400 Hz. Group 1 and
group 3 tanks each have one pump installed;
group 2 tanks have two pumps. Group 1 and
group 3 pumps deliver fuel under low pressure to their respective interconnection and
crossfeed manifolds and then to their respective engines. Group 2 pumps deliver fuel
to the group 2 manifold and crossfeed manifold, then to the No. 2 engine. Pump discharge is 7.25 psi with a flow rate of 10.56 U.S.
gallons per minute at 51,000 feet altitude.
Control switches for the boost pumps are located on the overhead panel. Electrical power

Jet Pumps
Fuel system jet pumps use motive-flow fuel
(see Figure 5-4) delivered from the fuel boost
pumps. The jet pumps are identical in the three
tank groups and operate on the venturi
principle (Figure 5-6).
In each tank group 1 and 3, four jet pumps siphon fuel from the outboard, inboard, and
center wing tanks and deliver it to the respective boost pump compartment. In tank
group 2, three jet pumps are installed in the
rear tank. One pump is used to siphon fuel
from the front tank when the transfer valve is
open; the other two pumps siphon fuel from
the aft part of the rear tank and deliver it to the
boost pump compartment. The jet pumps ensure that the boost pumps stay submerged in
the boost pump compartments. The jet pump
circuit is equipped with a filter and a check
valve with a clogging indicator for system
protection (clogging indicators are only on
aircraft prior to SN 96).

Groups 1 and 3
Interconnection Manifolds
The groups 1 and 3 interconnection manifolds
are mounted in a dry bay outside the center
wing tank on the rear spar. They receive fuel
from the respective boost pumps. An electrically
driven spherical core valve (R1 and R3 crossfeed interconnect valves on Figure 5-4) on each
manifold supplies motive-flow fuel to the jet
pumps in normal operation. Both valves are
controlled by an X-BP interconnect rotary
switch and are normally positioned closed;
when selected to open, fuel is directed to the
X-BP crossfeed interconnect system. Included
in each manifold is a filter for the motive-flow
fuel and a clogging bypass valve with an indicator. An outlet enables a direct connection
with the valve outlet of the other manifold.

manifold
The two crossfeed interconnect valves have
two functions:
To interconnect the fuel feed systems of
No. 1 and No. 3 engines
To cut off the fuel supply to the jet pumps
on the side with the inoperative boost
pump
The amber X-BP light on the overhead panel illuminates when the associated crossfeed valve has
failed to fully close.

Interconnection Valve
The interconnection valve (see Figure 5-4) connects tank groups 1 and 3. The valve is opened by
fuel pressure. A microswitch in the interconnection valve causes the XTK light on the
overhead panel to remain illuminated as long as
the valve is not fully closed.

XTK Solenoid Valve


The XTK solenoid valve is located in the group
1 interconnection manifold (see Figure 5-4).
When opened, fuel pressure is directed to the
interconnection valve, causing it to open, which
then illuminates the XTK light on the overhead
panel.

to the interconnection lines and the No. 1 and
No. 3 boost pumps are operating.
Groups 1 and 3 crossfeed controls include:

The X-BP 1 3 rotary switch


The three-position (leftcenter offright)
XTK switch, which functions only when
the X-BP switch is set to open
If the No. 1 boost pump fails or is shut down,
the corresponding crossfeed interconnect valve
(labeled R1 on Figure 5-7) opens when selection of X-BP 1 3 is made, as controlled
by a logic circuit of the correct crossfeed
interconnect valve, provided that the opposite
interconnect valve is closed. This results in cutting off motive-flow fuel to the jet pumps on
the same side (which are off anyway because
the boost pump is not operating).

This indicates a front-to-rear transfer regulation level (1,200 and 3,300 pounds)
(on aircraft with front to rear tank transfer valve only, without SB F900-48).

FUEL FLOW/FUEL
USED INDICATORS

Figure 5-10 shows the normal configuration of


the group 2 fuel system. It normally supplies only
the No. 2 engine. Figures 5-11 and 5-12 show
failed boost pump configurations and level
equalizing. Tabular data also shows switch and
light configurations as well as engine feed.

The fuel flow/fuel used indicators (Figure 514) serve dual functions. The fuel flow indication is instantaneous and reads in pounds per
hour by a needle over a dial gradated in pounds
from 0 to 30 (x 100). A four-digit display window on the face of the instrument indicates the
quantity of fuel consumed by the engine.

FUEL INDICATING
SYSTEMS

A button is located on the lower edge of the


instrument face. When pulled out, it resets
the fuel-used counter. When pushed in, it allows display of instantaneous fuel flow for 30
seconds duration.

FUEL QUANTITY INDICATORS


The three fuel quantity gages (Figure 5-13) are
identical. They have a round dial with a single needle and are gradated from 0 to 8,000
pounds. Refer to Instrument Markings in
Chapter 1, Aircraft General, of this manual,
for color pictures of the instrument markings.
Following are the fuel quantity indicator instrument markings.
Tank groups 1 and 3:

Yellow arc ................. 0 to 1,000 pounds


Tank group 2:

Yellow arc ................. 0 to 1,000 pounds


Yellow arc ....... 2,200 to 2,400 pounds
This indicates the total quantity at which
the front-to-rear transfer valve opens
and cycles between 1,100 and 1,400
pounds in the rear tank (on aircraft with
front to rear tank transfer valve only,
without SB F900-48).

are open and fueling may take place
A FULLPARTIAL toggle switch which
is used in conjunction with the partial refueling selector (when installed)

A partial refueling selector which is used


when only partial refueling of the airplane
is desired

The amber FULL lights should illuminate.


If the STOP FUELING light illuminates during the refueling operation, manually stop refueling immediately by turning all three
refueling switches off.
After completion of refueling, turn the refueling switches off, and install the coupling cap.

Partial Refueling (Optional)


Normal Operation
The red STOP FUELING light should illuminate
when the refueling control panel door is opened
in conjunction with a previously opened connector panel door. This indicates that the vent
valves are closed. The FUELING light on the
cockpit warning panel also illuminates if power
is turned on. On airplanes SNs 16 and subsequent, a light is located in the upper part of the
refueling control compartment.
After opening the connector panel door, the vent
valve control lever must be moved before the refueling coupling (nozzle) can be connected.
Moving the lever causes the vent valves to open.
After the vent valves open, the red STOP FUELING light should go out and the green FUELING OK light illuminate. Ensure that the nozzle
is grounded to the airplane and the fuel truck and
that both the truck and the airplane are properly
grounded. The coupling cap may then be removed
and the nozzle connected.
After the nozzle is connected, place the three refueling toggle switches to ON. This opens the refueling solenoid valves (Figure 5-16), which will
be powered only if the vent valves are fully open.
Check that the fuel truck pressure available is
3050 psi, and then start refueling.
After refueling is started, push the TEST button to test the automatic refueling stop system,
and check for the following:
Fueling should stop within five seconds.

To refuel to partial tanks, turn the partial


refueling selector to the total fuel load desired. Place the FULLPARTIAL switch to
PARTIAL. The system is entirely automatic;
the quantity selected on the dial will be divided
up equally between the three tank groups and
can be checked on the cockpit fuel quantity indicators. Each tank refueling valve will automatically close as soon as the respective tank
group probes signal that that group has received a quantity equal to 1/3 of the quantity
selected. The quantity indicator amplifiers
and the refueling mode selector are energized
from the battery bus; thus no action is required
in the cockpit.

GRAVITY REFUELING
The airplane may be refueled through a gravity filler port (Figure 5-17) located on each
wings upper surface. Electrical power on the
airplane is required for gravity refueling.
Refueling progress can be monitored on the
quantity indicators.
Refueling the group 2 tanks (Figure 5-18) requires pressurization of the fuel system by
the following steps:

Open the X-BP 1 2 and 3 2


crossfeed switches.

NOTE
If fueling does not stop, manually stop
refueling.

Revision 3

To prepare for partial refueling, use the same


procedure as for full-tanks refueling listed
under Normal Operation, this chapter.

Turn on the No. 1 and No. 3 boost pumps.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

When opened, the defueling/refueling valve


interconnects the group 2 system with the refueling system (See Figure 5-4). Defueling
all the tanks through the normal engine fuel
supply circuit is enabled by activation of the
boost pumps and opening the X-BP crossfeed
valves for group 1 and group 3 system.

DRAIN VALVES

Fuel Filler Port

NOTE
If gravity-refueling the airplane
through only one wing filler port,
open the crossfeed valve and turn on
the boost pump for that side only.

Place the GRAVITY FUELING switch on


the cockpit maintenance panel to ON.
This opens the defueling/refueling valve
in the Group 2 manifold (Figure 5-18) and
the vents.
The CENTER refueling switch in the
pressure-refueling panel can now be
placed to the ON position to open the
center tanks pressure-refueling valve.

The sump drain valves (Figure 5-19) provide


a means of eliminating condensation and other
contaminants which settle to the bottom of
the tanks. Fuel samples should be checked before and after refueling; a more accurate fuel
sample can be taken after refueling if the fuel
is allowed to settle for at least an hour when
time permits. A total of nine sump drains are
located under the wings and fuselage on aircraft with SN 158 and lower. Aircraft SN 159
and subsequent have one additional fuselage
drain valve.

ANTI-ICING BLENDING
APPARATUS
Figure 5-20 shows the apparatus which is typical for adding fuel anti-icing additive over
the wing through the gravity filler ports, when
necessary. The fuel flow should start before
adding the additive and stop after the additive
has been added.

NOTE
Gravity refueling should not be done
using battery power only because of
the high current draw during refueling.

DEFUELING
Apart from its center system gravity refueling
function, the defueling/refueling valve can
also be used for defueling through the pressurerefueling connector. For this function, the
valve is controlled by the DEFUELING switch
on the refueling panel.

CHAPTER 6
AUXILIARY POWER UNIT

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the auxiliary power unit (APU) installed in the Falcon 900
series airplanes. The primary objective for installing APUs in airplanes is to render the
airplane self-supporting while on the ground, especially when at remote away-from-home
bases where compatible ground servicing equipment may not be available.
APUs are generally independent of all installed airplane systems except for an electrical
power source for starting and control and a fuel supply from the airplanes fuel tanks to
sustain operation.
This chapter, in addition to describing the APU engine, also includes descriptions of all
of its related systems, such as oil, fuel, ignition, air extraction, and miscellaneous
APU/airplane interface systems.

AIR INTAKE

GENERAL

The APU air intake forms the waist of the


unit; the opening is screened to prevent entry
of foreign material. Air is induced through
the intake from a flush screened inlet (Figure
6-3) located externally on the lower right side
of the aft fuselage.

The Falcon 900 incorporates an APU manufactured by Garrett Turbine Engine Company; it
is designated GTCP36-150 (F). The unit is
transversely mounted in the rear fuselage
(Figure 6-1), under the No. 2 engine, and is enclosed in a carbon and titanium container. The
APU is certificated only for ground operation; the control circuits are wired through
the landing gear ground contact switches, thus
preventing in-flight operation or starting.

COMPRESSOR
The compressor is a single-stage centrifugal
impeller with a two-stage inflow diffuser. The
impeller is rigidly mounted on the rotor shaft.
The function of the compressor is to induce the
required airflow, impart velocity to the air,
and direct it through the radial/axial diffuser,
which converts the velocity energy to pressure
energy. This airflow is used for cooling and
combustion and also provides a bleed-air supply for ground heating and cooling of the occupied areas of the airplane.

designed holes of varying sizes. Fuel is added
to the air by six simplex fuel nozzles or atomizers which are circumferentially mounted in
the combustion chamber. This gas mixture is ignited by a single high-energy igniter plug. A
large portion of the remaining airflow is used
for combustion chamber liner insulation, dilution in the combustion chamber, and cooling in
the combustor area. When the engine reaches
self-sustaining rpm, the starter and ignition are
automatically turned off.

TURBINE

The accessory gear is enclosed in a case


attached to the air intake housing. It consists
of a planetary assembly, driven by the main
rotor shaft. Its function is to reduce the low
torque, high rpm of the engine to the values
required for the accessories, which consist of
the following:

Fuel control unit (FCU) and fuel pump


Oil pump assembly
Starter-generator

The turbine consists of a single-stage, radial


inflow wheel, surrounded by a turbine nozzle shroud. The turbine wheel is rigidly
mounted to the rotor shaft and with the compressor forms the rotating group of the engine.
The expanding gases leaving the combustor
are angled by the turbine nozzle vanes onto
the turbine. The convergent principle of the
turbine nozzles converts the pneumatic energy
to mechanical energy. The engine design is
such that all of the energy extracted by the turbine is used to drive the compressor and the
accessories.

EXHAUST
The exhaust consists of an exhaust pipe and
an aspirator duct which directs the spent gases
to the atmosphere through a flush outlet
(Figure 6-3) located externally on the upper
right side of the rear fuselage. The airplanes
skin is protected by a stainless steel protective
plate attached to the structure in the area of the
exhaust outlet.
The exhaust gas velocity entering the exhaust
duct creates a low pressure in the APU shroud,
inducing a large volume of ambient air to enter
the shroud through a flush screened opening
(Figure 6-3) located externally on the left side
of the rear fuselage, under the generator ventilation air inlet.
The aspirator duct is lagged with a thermal
blanket to prevent heat transfer to the equipment
in the rear compartment.

Revision 3

ACCESSORY

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The GTCP36-150 APU (Figure 6-4) is a small
gas turbine engine which operates at a constant
rpm. When the engine is rotated by the starter,
the compressor induces air through the intake
and imparts high velocity to the airflow. The
diffusion process occurring through the twostage diffuser converts the velocity energy to
pressure energy and directs the airflow to the
reverse-flow combustor. The air is turned 180,
and a precise volume enters the combustion
chamber, where fuel is initially added by three
primary atomizers and ignited by the highenergy igniter plug. As the engine continues
to accelerate, the flow divider introduces additional fuel through the three secondary atomizers, thus providing the required-to-run
fuel. The airflow is again turned 180 and is
expanded through the turbine, which extracts
all of the energy and uses it to drive the compressor and the accessories. The spent gases
are directed from the primary diffuser into
the exhaust duct and to the atmosphere through
the exhaust outlet. The aspiration principle
induces cooling air through the APU shroud
to remove fumes and provide additional cooling. As the APU reaches self-sustaining rpm,
the starter and ignition operation is automatically terminated. The engine will then opera t e o n a cy c l e o f c o n t i n u o u s i n d u c t i o n ,
compression, combustion, and exhaust at a
constant rpm.

OIL SYSTEM
The oil system (Figure 6-5) provides for cooling and lubrication for the rotor bearings and
the bearings and gears of the accessory gear.
The oil is contained in a sump attached to
the accessory gearcase. The sump contains
approximately 2.0 U.S. quarts and houses a
filler cap and dipstick, magnetic drain plug,
and oil thermostat.

6-6

A gear pump, driven by the accessory gear,


provides the pressure necessary for efficient
lubrication. The pump outlet pressure is controlled by a pressure regulator. System pressure is sensed by a pressure switch that turns
on an amber light labeled OIL on the APU
control panel (Annunciator Panel section)
when oil pressure decreases below 31 psi and
APU N 1 is greater than 97%. The APU will
automatically shut down after ten seconds. Oil
temperature greater than 163C will also
illuminate the OIL light and automatically
shut down the APU at any rpm. This light is
armed only when the APU MASTER switch
is latched in (on). A filter in the pump pressure line removes solid particles from the
oil. Ferrous metal or fuzz is attracted to the
magnetic drain plug to facilitate maintenance
inspection.
A gravity scavenge system returns all oil to the
sump. An atmospheric vent limits gearcase
pressure to design value.

pressure of the pump to protect the FCU, especially at shutdown.

Fuel Supply
The fuel for operation of the APU is supplied
from the No. 2 engine feed line through a
shutoff valve by either one of the group 2 fuel
boost pumps.

Fuel Pump
The FCU fuel pump is a high-pressure gear
pump, which develops the necessary pressure

Differential Pressure Regulator

Electronic Control Unit (ECU)

The differential pressure regulator maintains


a constant differential across the metering
valve since flow is proportional to metering
valve position. Fuel in excess of the metered volume is returned to the pump inlet
by a bypass line. The metered fuel for starting, acceleration, steady-state operation,
and deceleration is a sole function of the
ECU.

The solid-state ECU contains all of the logic


for starting, speed governing, and protection
for the APU. The ECU receives input signals representing APU rpm from a monopole
mounted on the accessory case. This function
is backed up by a closed loop temperature
topping circuit during the transition period
from light-off to self-sustaining rpm. This
signal is received from the single thermocouple probe in the APU exhaust duct.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Speed Governing
The speed governing system is a solid-state
timed-acceleration control, which operates
on the principle of governor reset acceleration.
The governor is initially preset at 25% of maximum design rpm. Following light-off, the
governor set point increases as a function of
time, and the resulting signal is transmitted to
the torque motor on the FCU metering valve,
which responds by adding or subtracting fuel
to maintain the rpm at the governor reference.
This reference increases as a function of time
until the 100% reference is attained. This value
will now be held constant throughout the entire operating range.
The T 5 loop has no function during APU starting unless T 5 temperature exceeds the design
value.
If the APU meets any resistance to acceleration between light-off and self-sustaining rpm,
the closed loop temperature topping circuit will
assume precedence, signaling the torque motor
to reduce fuel flow.
In summary, the electronic speed governing
loop is constantly monitoring rpm and modulating fuel flow by comparing the monopole
inputs to the ECUs 100% reference rpm, generating the required error signal to vary the current to the torque motor, and repositioning
the fuel metering valve accordingly.
Figure 6-6 depicts the start and speed governing logic of the APUs ECU.

Protection
The APU incorporates a comprehensive protection system which will automatically shut
the unit down when any of the following conditions exists:

Overspeed (primary)108 1% (tested


using stop button)

Overspeed (secondary)109 1% (not


tested)

T 5 overtemperature (starting)
Power microcuts in excess of 50 milli-

T 5 open circuit
N 1 monopole open circuit
Overcurrent in APU electrical components
Low oil pressure
High oil temperature
Takeoff with APU operating
Faulty APU generator excitation
All battery and engine generator
switches off

APU fire
Environmental control unit overheat
When an APU shutdown occurs for any of the
listed conditions, a restart is inhibited until the
system is reset by momentarily moving the
APU MASTER pushbutton off. This will be
explained in more detail later in this chapter.

Operation
As shown in Figure 6-7, the HP pump receives
fuel at boost pump pressure through a bypass
filter from the No. 2 engine fuel feed line.
The HP pump increases the fuel pressure to the
required value and directs the fuel through a
screen to the fuel metering valve. The position
of the fuel metering valve is determined by a
torque motor, which in turn responds only to
signals from the ECU. These signals are normally the computed resultant of APU rpm signals supplied to the ECU from the monopole
on the accessory case. In addition, if starting
temperature tends to exceed the design maximum, the T 5 input to the computer will result
in an output signal to the torque motor to cut
back fuel. The start logic and speed governing system, being electronic, will almost instantaneously adjust fuel flow (during varying
loads) and maintain a constant rpm.

IGNITION SYSTEM
The APU incorporates a high-energy ignition
system consisting of an exciter box, a hightension cable, and a single igniter plug in the
combustion chamber.

Figure 6-7. Fuel System Operation

The ignition system is controlled entirely by


the ECU. The ignition is turned on at 10%
rpm and continues until rpm reaches 97% +4
seconds, at which time it is turned off by a
signal from the ECU.

WARNING
The ignition system installed on the
APU is a high-energy type capable of
inducing an output voltage of between 5,000 and 6,000 volts. Even
though a dissipating circuit is incorporated in the exciter box, extreme care must be exercised when
in the proximity of the ignition components. Accidental contact may
cause severe injury or death.

6-10

INSTRUMENTATION
The APU incorporates an N 1 and a T 5 indicator located on the APU section of the
overhead switch panel (Figure 6-8) and an
hourmeter located in the APU enclosure.
The N 1 indicator is calibrated in percent from
0 to 120. The dial face is color-coded green, amber, and red. The green range extends from 95
to 105%, the amber range extends from 105 to
110%, and the red radial line is located at 110%.
The gage is a sweep-needle type and requires
electrical power from the ECU through the
latched-in position of the APU MASTER pushbutton. When power is off, the needle will go
to a position below zero. The input signals are
supplied from a single-wound monopole on
the accessory case, which supplies rpm information to the ECU as well as to the rpm gage.

the power selector switch is moved to the EXT


POWER position; however, it is good practice
to close the bus tie and check that the BUS
TIED light is on.

NOTE
The following is a simplified description of APU starting. It must
not be construed as a procedure. The
APU must be started using the approved checklist.

Battery StartAPU
(RPM Less than 50%)
Figure 6-8. Overhead Switch Panel

The T 5 indicator is graduated in degrees Celsius from 0 to 1,000. The dial face is colorcoded green, amber, and red. The green range
extends from 150 to 679C, the amber range
extends from 679 to 732C, and the red radial
marker is located at 732C. Operating power
is provided from the ECU through the latchedin (on) position of the APU MASTER pushbutton. When power is turned off, the needle
drops to an ambient temperature indication.
An hourmeter is mounted in the APU enclosure
and is accessible by opening the No. 2 engine
cowl. An option will allow installation of the
hourmeter in the rear compartment. The unit
receives power from the ECU when engine
rpm is 97% +4 seconds. When the APU is shut
down, power is removed from the hourmeter
by the ECU when rpm decays below 97%.

CONTROL AND STARTING


Prior to starting the APU, a safety check must
be performed. This should include an oil level
check as well as a security check of the APU
area.
The APU may be started using the airplane batteries or an external power unit. When using the
airplane batteries, the bus tie must be closed (rotary switch horizontal), and the BUS TIED
light (Appendix B) must be on. When using the
GPU, the bus tie will automatically close when

Revision 3

Select the No. 2 engine boost pump switch to


STBY (Figure 6-8), and check that the FUEL
2 light on the warning panel (Appendix B)
goes off. Rotate the bus-tie switch to the horizontal position, and check that the BUS TIED
light on the warning panel comes on. Push the
green APU (generator) excitation pushbutton
to the latched-in position, and then push the
g r e e n A P U M A S T E R p u s h bu t t o n t o t h e
latched-in position. The switchlights will come
on in the MASTER and APU pushbuttons, DC
power is supplied to the ECU, the APU fuel
supply shutoff valve opens, the APU OIL and
APU GEN amber lights come on, and the APU
rpm gage needle goes to 0. (The APU EGT
gage indicates the ambient temperature in the
combustion chamber.)

NOTE
If the APU is to be restarted following a shutdown, the start must be
delayed until the EGT decays to at
least 200C; otherwise, a hotter than
normal start may occur.

Momentarily pushing the APU START pushbutton initiates the automatic start sequence, and
the starter-generator cranks the APU. At 10%
rpm the fuel solenoid on the APU opens, and
the ignition is turned on. When equipped with
a surge valve circuit, it will be energized at
10%. The EGT gage indicates light-off almost
immediately, and rpm increases rapidly and
smoothly. At 50% rpm starter operation is

terminated; the APU OIL light must go off before 50% rpm. On some installations, at approximately 60% rpm compressor discharge
pressure opens the surge valve. RPM must continue to increase rapidly and smoothly; at 97%
+4 seconds ignition is terminated, and the
hourmeter begins to record operating time. The
APU GEN light goes out, indicating that the
generator is on line and battery charging is taking place. The APU continues to accelerate to
approximately 101.6%. APU bleed air is available for ground heating or cooling if and when
selected.
APU generator voltage is indicated on both DC
voltmeters. APU line load may be checked by
moving the selector switch under the right
ammeter to the APU position. When either
ammeter selector switch is at the BAT
position, the ammeters indicate recharging of
the associated battery with the bus tie closed.

GPU StartAPU
(RPM Less than 50%)

CAUTION

If the APU GEN light remains on


above 97%, the APU start relay may
have failed to open. Push to unlatch
the APU excitation pushbutton; the
green light should go out, and the
APU automatically shuts down. Have
maintenance investigate and correct
the problem.
Figure 6-9 depicts a battery start of the APU.
Prior to initiating the start, both battery switches
and the bus-tie switch are on, BAT 1 and BAT
2 lights are out, and the BUS TIED light is on.
The APU excitation pushbutton is latched in, and
its green light is on. The APU MASTER pushbutton is latched in, and its green light is also
on. The amber APU OIL and GEN lights are both
on. The No. 2 engine standby boost pump is on,
the APU fuel supply shutoff valve is open, and
fuel at boost pump pressure is available to the
closed APU fuel solenoid shutoff valve.
Momentarily pushing the APU START switch
simultaneously energizes the No. 2 contactor
(paralleling the No. 2 battery with the No. 1battery on the start bus) and the APU start contactor.
Engine rotation begins, and at 10% ignition
begins and the surge valve circuit, when
6-12

incorporated, is energized. The APU fuel solenoid valve opens, fuel is supplied to the combustion chamber through the three primary spray
nozzles, and combustion occurs. Rapid and
smooth acceleration begins. When fuel pressure
at the flow divider reaches 30 psig, the divider
valve opens, and fuel is delivered to the three
secondary spray nozzles. At 50% rpm the ECU
shuts down starter operation, acceleration continues, and before 50% the OIL light goes out.
When a surge valve is incorporated, compressor discharge pressure will open it at 60% rpm.
At 97% +4 seconds the ECU turns off the ignition, the generator goes on line, and the GEN
light goes out. If the APU BLEED AIR control
switch is on, the APU supplies the occupied
areas for ground cooling or heating, as selected.
The APU rpm stabilizes and remains relatively
constant at approximately 100%, and T 5 stabilizes at approximately 220 to 500C.

Figure 6-11 depicts an APU start using a GPU


as the power source. Prior to the initiation of
the APU start cycle, the GPU is plugged in and
operating. When the power selector switch is
moved to EXT POWER, the following occur
simultaneously: the No. 1 battery contactor
and No. 2 battery make-and-break switch open,
BAT 1 and BAT 2 lights come on, the No. 1 battery make-and-break switch remains closed
because DC power is supplied by the EXT
POWER position of the power selector switch,
all generators including the APU generator are
inhibited, and the GPU contactor closes. The
GPU output is routed to the start bus, through
a diode to the battery bus, and finally through
the No. 1 battery make-and-break switch to the
left main bus and buses A1 and A2.
Note that in this configuration, even if the bustie switch is open (vertical), the bus tie closes
since a ground is applied by the EXT POWER
contactor in a closed position. The BUS TIED
light is on, along with the GEN 1, GEN 2, and
GEN 3 lights. Also the APU GEN and OIL
lights are on since the APU MASTER pushbutton is latched in. This is the power configuration which prevails prior to initiating
an APU start.

When using a GPU to start the APU, the start


cycle differs from the previously described battery start of the APU because the batteries are
completely isolated, even from the battery bus,
and the No. 2 battery contactor remains open.
Therefore, when the APU START switch is momentarily pushed, the only contactor which responds is the APU start contactor; it closes and
remains closed until the APU start is terminated by the ECU at 50%. When the APU accelerates above 97% rpm, the APU GEN light
remains on since all generator operation is inhibited as long as the GPU generator continues
to power the distribution system.

ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY


The electrical power supply from the APU
generator is described in detail in Chapter 2,
Electrical Power Systems.

BLEED-AIR SUPPLY

unlatched position and check that its green


light goes out. The rpm gage needle drops
below 0, and the OIL and GEN lights go out.

NOTE
When the APU is shut down with the
STOP pushbutton, or when an automatic shutdown occurs, the APU cannot be restarted unless the MASTER
pushbutton is momentarily unlatched
and relatched (pushed twice).

If the APU fails to shut down when the STOP


pushbutton is pushed, an alternate method is
available. Momentarily pushing the APU
MASTER pushbutton turns off the light, closes
the APU fuel shutoff valve, and removes power
from the ECU, causing the APU fuel solenoid
shutoff valve to close. This condition should
be written up for maintenance action since
the problem may be associated with the ECUs
automatic overspeed shutdown logic.

The bleed-air supply from the APU is described


in detail in Chapter 11, Air Conditioning.

LIMITATIONS
APU SHUTDOWN
SYSTEMS
The APU incorporates automatic and selective
shutdown systems. The automatic shutdown
system is a function of the ECU and is described in detail under Electronic Control Unit
(ECU) in this chapter.
The normal means of shutting down the APU
is by momentarily pushing the STOP pushbutton (Figure 6-8). The STOP pushbutton transmits an input to the ECU which it interprets as
an overspeed (114%) signal. The overspeed
logic shuts down the APU by closing the APU
fuel solenoid shutoff valve, and the APU MASTER pushbutton light will be flashing. The
rpm gage drops smoothly to 0, and the EGT decreases to approximately 200C. The APU
GEN and OIL lights come on. When these conditions are indicated, the final step is to push
the APU MASTER flashing pushbutton to the

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the powerplants installed on the Falcon 900 series airplanes. In
addition to the engine, the chapter also includes descriptions of all related systems, such
as oil, fuel, ignition, instrumentation, engine power control, engine starting, thrust reverser, and associated powerplant limitations.
The contents of this chapter must not be construed as operating procedures. All values
for pressure, temperature, and thrust are used only for their illustrative meanings. Actual
values must be obtained from the pertinent material issued by, or on behalf of, the applicable manufacturer, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the certification agency
of the country of origin.

GENERAL
The Falcon 900 is powered by three turbofan engines. Each engine incorporates an integral, fully
automatic lubrication system, fuel and ignition

systems, and fire/overheat detection systems; they


share a common fire/overheat detection test system and a fire-extinguishing system.

The maximum continuous rating at FL400


and Mach 0.8 is 986 pounds of thrust for the
TFE731-5AR-1C or 1,050 pounds of thrust for
the TFE731-5BR-1C.

ENGINES
GENERAL
The engines (Figure 7-1) are installed in a conventional trijet configuration. The No. 1 and
No. 3 engines are pylon-mounted on the left
and right sides of the rear fuselage. The No. 2
engine is mounted internally in the tail cone.
The engines (Figure 7-2) are manufactured
b y G a r r e t t Tu r b i n e E n g i n e C o m p a ny i n
Phoenix, Arizona, a division of the Honeywell
Engine and System Division. They are designated TFE731-5AR-1C or TFE731-5BR-1C,
if SB F900-100 is incorporated.

CHARACTERISTICS
The major characteristic of this engine is its
modular design concept, which facilitates
engine maintenance and reduces airplane
downtime.

MAJOR SECTIONS
General
For descriptive purposes, the engine is divided
into 10 major sections (Figure 7-3) as follows:

RATINGS
The rated static thrust at sea level and 23C
(73.4F) is 4,500 pounds of thrust for the
TFE731-5AR-1C or 4,750 pounds of thrust
for the TFE731-5BR-1C at sea level and
25C (77F).

Air Inlet
The air inlet is formed by the fan housing. Air
is directed into the fan housing by the nacelle
air inlet duct. Aft of the fan, the airflow is divided into two flow paths. One flow path enters the core engine, and the other enters the
full-length bypass duct.

Fan
The fan is a single-stage axial rotor mounted
in the air inlet. The inlet duct has no guide
vanes, which reduces noise and eliminates inherent icing problems. An armored ring on
the inlet duct provides for fan blade containment should fan disintegration occur. The fan

by the 731 engine. Fan rotation as viewed


from the rear is counterclockwise. Fan rpm is
10,416 for TFE731-5AR-1C and 10,666 for the
TFE731-5BR-1C.

The fan performs a twofold function: its outer


diameter accelerates a moderately large air
mass at a relatively low velocity into the fulllength bypass duct; its inner diameter
accelerates a relatively low air mass into the
core engine. The bypass air mass is greater than
three times that of the core engine air mass.
The bypass ratio of the TFE731-5AR-1C is approximately 3.15:1 or 3.20:1 for theTFE7315BR-1C; consequently, the fan contributes
the major portion of the direct thrust developed

Planetary Gear

Revision 3

The planetary gear assembly, located immediately aft of the fan, interconnects it to the LP
turbine and provides the necessary gear reduction ratio for the fan, as well as producing its
counterclockwise rotation. The planetary gear
converts the high-rpm, low-torque input from
the LP turbine to low-rpm, high-torque output
to the single-stage fan.

LP Compressor
General
The LP compressor has four axial stages. The
airflow to the LP compressor is supplied by the
inner diameter of the fan. The compressor diffusion process increases air pressure and velocity and directs the air mass rearward through
a diffuser to the HP compressor.
The LP compressor is driven by the LP turbine.
The direction of rotation, as viewed from the
rear, is clockwise.

Surge Bleed System


The LP compressor has a surge bleed system
since axial compressors tend to stall and surge
under certain conditions. For each compressor
rpm, there is a relationship between its pressure
increase and its air mass. Under certain
conditions such as low power, acceleration, and
deceleration, this balance may be disturbed. The
compressor, in effect, is an air pump, but the air
moving through it meets many obstacles, such as
combustion pressure. When overfueling occurs,
such as during acceleration, combustion pressure
may exceed compressor outlet pressure,
compressor airflow slows down, and compressor
blade stall occurs, resulting in a pileup of air
followed by a surge.

Figure 7-4. LP Compressor Surge


Bleed Valve

SURGE BLEED VALVE


CONTROL SOLENOIDS

Stall and surge conditions may also occur during


periods of HP/LP spool rpm mismatch, since air
stacks up at the HP compressor, producing stalls
and surges which, if not controlled, could cause
flameout and/or mechanical failures.
A safe surge margin has been determined for the
TFE731 engine. It is controlled by an electropneumatic surge valve (Figure 7-4) mounted at
the 3-oclock position on the engine. The surge
bleed valve is controlled by two pneumatically
operated, electrically controlled solenoid valves
mounted on the fan duct at the 3-oclock position (Figure 7-5).

The solenoids in turn are alternately controlled


by outputs from the digital electronic fuel computer (to be described in the Fuel Computer
section).
The surge bleed valve has three positions: open,
1/3 open, and closed. The solenoid valves are
called A and B and they control P 3 (HP compressor discharge) air for operation of the surge
bleed valve.

the valve.
In Figure 7-8 the surge bleed valve is in the

produce a balance which will allow the valve


to move to, and remain in, a 1/3-open position.
This position is called the fail-safe position because the valve will assume it when electrical
power fails or if the fuel computer is turned
off. (See Fuel Computer later in this chapter.)
The computer controls the surge bleed valve
and maintains the safe surge margin based on
N 1 and N 2 mismatch and the ratios of fuel
operating schedule.

HP Compressor
The HP compressor is a single-stage centrifugal compressor. It is located aft of the LP compressor. A face shroud on the compressor disc
directs all airflow through the disc blades.
The velocity energy leaving the compressor is
converted to high-pressure energy by a divergent duct. It is then directed rearward to the
combustor.
The HP compressor is driven by the HP turbine. The direction of rotation, as viewed from
the rear, is clockwise.
The LP and HP compressors provide air
for cooling, combustion, and the airplanes
pneumatic services.

Combustor

chamber and form a passage for a portion of


the fan bypass air to provide additional cooling for the hot section. This cooling airflow
reenters the bypass air duct downstream of
the combustor.

HP Turbine
The single-stage, axial-flow HP turbine is rigidly connected to the HP compressor by the
high-pressure rotor shaft. The HP turbine extracts sufficient energy from the expanding
combustion gases to drive the HP compressor
and the accessory gear.
The HP turbine nozzle, blades and disc, are
cooled by compressor air directed through
cored passages.
The HP turbine and the HP compressor rotating assemblies constitute the HP spool of the
engine. The direction of rotation is clockwise.
The rpm of the HP spool is 29,692 at 100% for
the TFE731-5AR-1C or 30,300 at 100% for the
TFE731-5BR-1C and is designated N 2 .

LP Turbine
The three-stage axial-flow LP turbine is rigidly
connected to the four-stage LP compressor by
the LP rotor shaft. This shaft is coaxially located within the HP rotor shaft. The direction
of rotation is clockwise.

The combustor consists of a reverse-flow comb u s t i o n c h a m b e r, l o c a t e d i n a p l e n u m ,


surrounding the turbine. The combustion
chamber includes 12 equally spaced duplex
fuel-spray nozzles and two high-energy igniter plugs. The function of the combustion
chamber is to control the mixing of fuel and
air and, following ignition of the mixture by
the two igniter plugs, to contain the combustion gases and direct them for expansion
through the turbine.

The LP turbine discs progressively increase in


diameter from front to rear. Each disc, therefore, extracts an equal amount of energy from
the expanding gases, which is sufficient to
drive the four-stage LP compressor and the
single-stage fan through the reduction gear.

Being a reverse-flow combustor, the air mass


from the compressor enters the combustion
chamber at the aft end by making a 180 turn
and then flows forward through the combustion chamber. The combustion gases are again
turned 180 and flow aft to the turbine. Two
annular skin sections surround the combustion

Exhaust and Core Mixer

7-8

The LP turbine, the LP compressor, and the fan


form the LP spool of the engine. The rpm of
the LP spool is 21,000 at 100% and is designated N 1 .

The exhaust consists of the core engine or primary exhaust, the bypass air or secondary exhaust, an exhaust cone, a core mixer, and an
exhaust duct.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

Revision 3

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

The combustion gases from the core engine are


directed into a 14-petal, daisy-shaped core
mixer, which directs the combustion gases to
mix with fan bypass air in the bypass duct. This
principle increases direct thrust and also reduces gas-velocity-generated noise. The mixed
gases are directed to the atmosphere through
the exhaust duct and provide the propulsive
force for the airplane.

Accessory Gear
The accessory gear (housed in two separate
gearboxes) is mounted on the lower forward
side of the engine. It consists of a transfer
gear and an accessory drive gear. The transfer gear is driven by a towershaft through
bevel gears on the HP rotor shaft, which in turn
drives the accessory gear through an interconnecting horizontal drive shaft.
The following accessories are driven by the accessory gear:

pressure of the core airflow is increased by the


LP compressor and is then directed to the HP
compressor, where the air pressure is further increased by a diffusion process and is ducted aft
to the combustor.
A precise amount of this air enters the reverseflow combustion chamber, where fuel is injected by the 12 duplex spray nozzles.
The mixture is initially ignited by the two highenergy igniter plugs and is then expanded
through the turbine. The HP turbine extracts
enough energy to drive the HP compressor
through the main rotor shaft and the accessory
gear through bevel gears on the main rotor
shaft, which drives a towershaft connected to
the transfer gear.
The LP turbine extracts sufficient energy to
drive the LP compressor through the LP rotor
shaft, which extends forward to drive the planetary gear and the single-stage fan.
The remaining gas energy continues to accelerate through the exhaust mixer and joins the bypass airflow in the exhaust duct, which directs
it to the atmosphere to provide the direct thrust
for the airplane.
When the engine reaches self-sustaining rpm,
the ignition system is automatically turned off.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

A panel (Figure 7-10) in the rear compartment


facilitates checking of the oil level. The panel
contains a quantity gage powered from a transmitter in each engines oil tank. Operating and
control power is supplied to the panel from the
battery bus through a circuit breaker, crash logic
PC, and a microswitch, which closes when the
rear compartment door is opened. The gage is
calibrated in quarts and indicates oil to be
added to the selected tank. Power to the gage is
controlled by an ONOFF switch. Tank
selection is made with a three-position
momentary contact switch labeled ENG
3ENG 2ENG 1. When the gage power
switch is turned off, the sweep needle will go
to a position labeled OFF. The oil quantity
should be checked within 10-60 minutes after
engine shutdown and serviced with the type
and brand specified in the AFM.

Pump
The oil pump (Figure 7-11) contains one pressure element and four scavenge elements. It
is installed on the aft face of the accessory
gearbox and is driven by the accessory gear.

Regulator and Relief Valve


A combination regulator and relief valve (Figure 7-11) controls and limits the pressure of
the oil system. The regulator controls pressure
at 42 +4 psi when N 2 rpm is 68% or greater.
If the pressure threshold is exceeded, the relief valve opens and limits pressure to the design limit.

Filter
A filter (Figure 7-11) with a P bypass is installed in the pump pressure line. When the differential across the filter increases to between
30 and 40 psi, the bypass will open and permit unfiltered fluid to enter the system.
A magnetic indicator for each engine is located
on the indicator panel (Figure 7-10) in the
rear compartment; a filter differential will trip
the associated indicator. In the normal position they show white; when tripped, they show

Revision 4.01

red. These indicators must be checked during


postflight and preflight inspections. If tripped,
they must be reset (following filter element
change) by using the switch labeled RESET
located below the indicators. This switch is a
momentary switch and will return to the normal (down) position when released.

Fuel Heater
An oil-to-fuel heat exchanger (fuel heater)
(Figure 7-11) is incorporated to transfer the
heat of the oil to the fuel and prevent ice formation on the fuel filter. (For more information, see Fuel System later in this chapter.)

Oil Cooling
Oil cooling is achieved by an oil-to-air heat
exchanger and an oil-to-fuel heat exchanger
(oil cooler).
The oil-to-air system consists of a threesegmented heat exchanger (Figure 7-11) located in the fan bypass duct. The unit
incorporates a temperature control and pressure bypass valve which modulates between
65 and 77C and at about 18 and 22 psi.The
oil which passes through or bypasses the cooler
segments is used to lubricate No. 4, 5, and 6
engine rotor bearings, the transfer gear and
bearings, and the accessory gear and bearings.
The cooling medium for the segmented heat
exchanger is fan bypass air.
The lubricating oil for the planetary gear bearings and gears and for the No. 1, 2, and 3 main
bearings requires additional cooling; therefore,
it is directed through an oil-to-fuel heat exchanger (Figure 711) located on the right
side of the engine above the oil pump assembly. This cooler maintains an outlet fluid temperature of approximately 127C.

Venting
The oil tank, the planetary gearcase, and the
main bearing cavities are all vented to the accessory gearcase and then to the atmosphere
through a normally open, breather-pressurizing

valve (Figure 7-11). This valve begins to close


between approximately 27,000 and 30,000
feet to maintain an absolute engine case pressure of approximately 4 psi. This prevents oil
pump cavitation at higher altitudes.

Oil Scavenging
A positive scavenge system is provided by the
four scavenge elements of the oil pump. The
scavenged oil is returned to the tank by a common scavenge line. An indicating chip detector,
capable of attracting ferrous metal and fuzz,
is installed on the accessory gearcase; all scavenge oil passes over the chip detector. The
circuitry of the chip detector is in parallel
with the low oil pressure indicating system of
the associated engine. It is described later
under Indication.

Indication
Engine oil pressure is sensed at the outlet of
the oil-to-fuel heat exchanger and transmitted
to dual-scale, dual-needle pressure/temperature gages on the engine instrument panel
(Figure 7-12). The pressure scales are calibrated in psi, and they require 28 VDC for
operation.
Oil pressure is also sensed by pressure switches
in each engines oil pressure line to provide
warning of abnormally low pressure during operation. When oil system pressure is 25 psi or
less, the appropriate OIL 1, OIL 2, or OIL 3
light on the warning panel (See Appendix B)
illuminates.
The OIL 1, OIL 2, and OIL 3 lights are wired
in parallel with the associated chip detector
(Figure 7-12); therefore, if an accumulation of
ferrous metal or fuzz occurs at a chip detector, the appropriate low oil pressure warning
light will come on.
The appropriate oil pressure scale may be used
to differentiate between a low oil pressure
condition and contaminated oil.

in the oil outlet line from the oil-to-fuel heat


exchanger and is transmitted to the temperature scale on the appropriate pressure/temperature gage on the engine instrument panel
(Figure 7-12). The temperature scale is calibrated in degrees Celsius and requires 28 VDC
for operation.

Operation
The engine oil supply is contained in the oil
tank (Figure 7-13), and oil is drawn from the
oil tank by the pressure element of the lube and
scavenge oil pump. The pressure is regulated
and limited by a regulator valve. The oil is
transmitted through a filter to the fuel heater.
The oil from the heater is directed through the
segmented oil-to-air heat exchanger. A portion
of this oil is directed for lubrication of the
rotor bearings and for lubrication of the transfer gear and the accessory gear. The remaining oil is further cooled by passing through the
fuel-to-oil heat exchanger and is directed for
lubrication of the planetary gear. All oil is
scavenged by the four-element scavenge pump
and returned to the oil tank by a common
scavenge line. An absolute pressure is maintained in the lubricating system by a breather
pressurizing valve which prevents cavitation
of the pumps at high operating altitudes.

FUEL SYSTEM
General
Basically, the TFE731 engine uses a
hydromechanical flow control unit to meter
fuel to the combustor to meet all operational
requirements.
The hydromechanical control unit is capable of
acting alone or, normally, in conjunction
with a digital electronic fuel computer.
When acting alone, the engine fuel system is
deemed to be in a manual mode of operation.
When acting in conjunction with the
electronic fuel computer, the system is
deemed to be in an automatic mode.

In addition, the digital fuel computer incorporates a full-time parameter monitoring system which will automatically produce reversion
to manual control if spurious signals exist.

the high pressure developed when the fuel is


shut off by the power lever.

Anti-ice Sensor and Anti-ice Valve


Fuel temperature is sensed at the outlet of the
filter. The sensor mechanically opens an anti-ice
valve in the FCU bypass line when fuel
temperature decreases below 34F. The bypass
fuel is then directed through the oil-to-fuel heat
exchanger to the inlet of the filter. The sensor
will close the anti-ice valve when fuel
temperature increases to approximately 60F.

Fuel Heater

Components
General
The engine fuel system components (Figure 714) include a two-stage pump, a relief valve, a
bypass filter, anti-ice valve and sensor, fuel
heater, fuel control unit (FCU), flow divider, fuel
manifolds, duplex spray nozzles or atomizers,
and a digital fuel computer.

Fuel Pump
The two-stage fuel pump consists of a certrifugal
low-pressure (LP) stage and a positive
displacement high-pressure (HP) stage. The LP
stage receives inlet fuel at fuel tank boost pump
pressure. The inlet pressure is increased by the
LP pump to between 30 and 40 psi.

Filter
A micronic filter (Figure 7-15) with a bypass
removes solid particles from the fuel. A P of
between 9 and 12 psi will open the bypass and
permit unfiltered fuel to enter the system. A
bypassing fuel filter is identified by its associated magnetic indicator. Filter outlet fuel is directed to the HP pump, which develops a
pressure sufficient for operation of the fuel control unit (FCU). The fuel pump assembly is
mounted on the aft face of the accessory gearcase and is driven by the accessory gear.

Relief Valve

A fuel heater provides oil to fuel heat exchanging to prevent ice formation in the fuel
system from clogging the fuel filter and other
components. Fuel flow through the fuel filter
is thermostatically controlled by the anti-valve
of the fuel pump. An oil pressure bypass valve
prevents excessive pressure loss with cold oil.

FCU
The FCU is clamped to the fuel pump assembly
and driven by the pump through a coupling
shaft. The FCU includes a metering valve,
mechanical N2 governor, fuel shutoff valve, and
ultimate overspeed solenoid valve. The metering
valve determines the precise metered fuel
(relative to P3) to meet the power requirements
(in the manual mode of operation only). In the
automatic mode, a bypass valve determines the
metered fuel to meet the power requirements, in
response to signals from a torque motor
commanded by the fuel computer.

Mechanical Governor
The mechanical governor is a conventional
flyweight-speeder spring unit. In manual mode
it controls N2 rpm directly. The spring force is
varied by power lever position. The flyweight
force is a function of N2 rpm; consequently, in
manual mode N2 rpm is relative to power lever
position up to the 105% N2 preset limit of the
governor. In automatic mode the governor is
reset to 105% N 2 and acts as an overspeed
governor.

The HP pump outlet pressure is limited to 1,450


by a relief valve. This is to protect the FCU from

The fuel system components just described may


be identified in Figures 7-14, 7-15, and 7-21.

Fuel Shutoff Valve


A fuel shutoff valve consists of a rotary valve
and a hydraulically (fuel pressure) operated
valve. The rotary valve is operated by the power
lever and opens when the power lever is moved
5 or more from the off position.

Fuel Computer
General
In normal operating conditions (from engine
start to shutdown), each engine is controlled
by an associated digital electronic fuel computer (Figure 7-16). The computers for engines No. 1 and No. 3 are located in the
baggage compartment. The No. 2 engine computer is located in the rear compartment. The
operating power for the computers is supplied
from the 28-VDC system. The No. 1 computer
has a dual power supply through two circuit
breakers each capable of maintaining full
power for operation.

Ultimate Overspeed Solenoid Valve


This electrovalve is computer-controlled and is
normally closed. When energized open, it bypasses the high-pressure fuel from the piston of
the fuel shutoff valve, allowing the spring to
close the valve, and the engine flames out. Its
operation is described later under Fuel Computer.

Flow Divider
The flow divider functions to direct metered fuel,
initially to the primary fuel manifold and to the
12 primary outlets in the duplex fuel nozzles in
the combustion chamber. When fuel flow demand
reaches approximately 150 pounds per hour, fuel
is also directed into the secondary manifold, and
secondary ports in the duplex fuel nozzles.

Characteristics
Computer operation is based on sensing certain engine parameters and comparing them to
programmed values in the computers memory.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Computed outputs are determined and


transmitted to a torque motor in the FCU to
produce the precise metered fuel to meet the
power requirement under all operating conditions. In addition the computer maintains the
design safe surge margin by controlling the LP
compressor surge bleed valve.
The following parameters are sensed by the
computer:

Power lever angle (PLA)


P T2 T T2
N 1 (LP spool rpm)
N 2 (HP spool rpm)
ITT (interturbine temperature)
AB (LP compressor surge bleed area)
Flight/ground signal
Power increase signal

PLA is transmitted to the computer by a potentiometer on the FCU.


Total engine inlet pressure and total engine inlet temperature are sensed by the P T2T T2 probe
(Figure 7-17) mounted in the nacelle inlet
duct and transmitted to the computer.

N 1 is sensed by a dual-wound monopole


located at the aft end of the LP spool rotor
shaft. One winding of the monopole supplies
inputs to the computer representing N1 spool
rpm. The other winding supplies inputs to the
N1 indicator.
N2 is sensed by a similar monopole mounted on
the transfer gearcase. One winding of this
monopole transmits inputs to the fuel computer
representing N2 spool rpm. The other winding
supplies inputs to the N2 indicator.
ITT is sensed by ten parallel-wired thermocouples located between the HP and LP turbines.
The parallel circuits transmit inputs to the
computer representing interturbine temperature (ITT). The computer carefully monitors
the engines safe-surge margin and prevents
compressor stall and surge.
Figure 7-18 shows operation of the surge
bleed valve. Since the A and B solenoids are
deenergized, the surge bleed valve is pressurebalanced in a 1/3-open position.
The computer is programmed for idle rpm control as a function of N 2/P T2T T2 relationship.
The ground idle program is based on a 6.8second N 2 acceleration rate to 100%. The
flight idle program is based on a 5.0-second N2
acceleration rate to 100%. The circuit to the
computer, controlling the transition from ground
idle to flight idle, is wired through the left and
right main landing gear proximity switches.
The computer is reprogrammed to provide increased power at high altitude and hot weather
takeoff conditions. Mode change in the computer
(N2 and ITT increase) is effected by depressing
a PWR INC pushbutton and throttle positioning.

Computer Outputs
The computer functions include the following:

Compute an N 1 to achieve a flat-rated

thrust of 4,500 pounds on the TFE7315AR-1C or 4,750 pounds on the TFE7315BR-1C


Maintain N 2 without droop.

When the switches are at MAN, all computer


functions, except N 1 and N 2 alternate ultimate
overspeed, are disabled. When the switches
are at OFF all computer functions are disabled.

The power increase system comprises an amber


control push-button light labeled PWR INC
(See Appendix B), which is common to all three
engines, and control and indication relays which
indicate mode changes to each computer.

NOTE

Depressing the PWR INC push-button light effects a mode change in the computer, allowing a discrete maximum N 2 and ITT program
modification in the 3,000 to 7,000 feet/18.5 to
23C operating range. A maximum of 210 rpm
(0.7 percent N 2 ) is allowed for temperatures
above 23C and in a pressure range between
11.34 and 13.17 psia. Advancement of the
power lever to maximum PLA will provide a
proportional increase in RPR from the idle
position to takeoff. Extension of the ITT overheat indicator thresholds from 952 to 974C
for the TFE731-5AR-1C or 978 to 996C for
the TFE731-5BR-1C will also be affected.

The computer switch must be positioned to MAN when it is established


that a computer malfunction is
adversely affecting engine operation
o r p e r f o r m a n c e , eve n w h e n t h e
associated computer fail light is not on.
CAUTION

When computer failure or electrical


power failure occurs, the fuel system
automatically reverts to manual mode.
Acceleration time will increase to approximately 10 to 25 seconds. Fuel
consumption will increase by approximately 5% for any given power
setting and idle rpm will be higher.

Indication
Three lights on the warning panel (Appendix B)
are lableled CMPTR 1, CMPTR 2, and
CMPTR 3. The appropriate light will be on
when a computer switch is at the MAN or OFF
positions or if the computer switch is at the
AUTO position and the computer has failed. If
the failure results from transient conditions, the
computer may be reset by moving the affected
switch from AUTO to OFF and then back to
AUTO. If the light persists, the switch must be
moved to the MAN position. This position provides alternate ultimate overspeed control for the
N1 spool at 107%, and at 109% for the N2 spool.
Figure 7-20 shows the interface between the
fuel computer and the engine.

Power Increase System


The engine incorporates a power increase system (restricted performance reserve) to imp r ove a i r c r a f t t a k e o ff a n d g o - a r o u n d
performance (Figure 7-20A). System operation
is available for the pilot at full throttle settings,
altitudes of 3,000 to 7,000 feet, and temperatures greater than 18.5C (65F).
Revision 4

Since the use of the power increase system is to


the detriment of engine life, the computer totalizes
on a digital counter the number of times increased
power is used. One use of the power increase
system is equivalent to four engine cycles.

Monitoring
The digital electronic fuel computer has an integral monitoring and test system called BITE
(built-in test equipment).
The monitoring system detects computer malfunctions, such as loss of input parameters, and
responds by reverting to manual mode.
The BITE system automatically provides for
self-testing of the computer circuitry, fault
identification, and storage of faults in a builtin nonerasable memory. The faults in memory
may be recalled later by maintenance personnel when troubleshooting the system.
Computer faults are categorized as critical,
noncritical, and intermittent.
The ultimate overspeed protection provided by
the computer for N1 and N2 can be maintained
even after a critical fault reverts the computer
to manual mode unless the reversion is caused
by monopole failure.
If a computer fails to reset following a reversion to manual mode, as previously described,

moving the affected computer switch to the


MAN position will provide an alternate overspeed protection for N 1 at 107% and for N 2 at
109%. The mechanical governor is still effective, and if operational, it will limit N 2 to 105%
in both automatic and manual operating modes.

Computer Interrogation
The computer may be interrogated for identification of stored faults or for testing and adjustment. When the rotary switch is placed in any
position from 1 to 10, an LCD (liquid crystal display) on the face of the computer (Figure 7-16)
will display a digital code relative to the selection.
Table 7-1 shows computer malfunction analysis, relative to the function selector switch
position. This switch must be returned to
Position 1; if not, the affected computer fail
light will continue to flash on and off regardless of computer switch position.
Table 7-2 shows the code, the affected parameter, and the type of fault relative to each position of the function selector switch.

NOTE
Position 11 is an unused position on
Falcon 900 airplanes.

Fuel Enrichment
The computer is programmed to provide automatic fuel enrichment during engine starting. This
assists engine acceleration and also enhances the
nozzle spray pattern for more efficient combustion.
The automatic fuel enrichment increases metered fuel volume by approximately five ratios.
It is modulated by T 5 and automatically terminated when ITT reaches 200C. As the engine continues to accelerate toward idle rpm,
turbine temperature is monitored by the T 5
loop, which reduces metered fuel if ITT
reaches 732C.

Fuel System Operation


Figure 7-21 shows the fuel system operation
in the automatic mode.

The engine is assumed to be operating at a


cruise power setting. The fuel computer switch
is at the AUTO position. The manual mode
valve (1) is energized open, resetting the
mechanical N2 governor to 105% N2.
The power lever is advanced and the rotary valve
(2) is open, directing HP fuel to open the fuel
shutoff valve (3). The pressure supplied from the
pressure regulator fully opens the metering valve
(4). The computer output signals to the torque
motor (5) determine the differential across the bypass valve (6) relative to P3 pressure (7), thus establishing the metered fuel through the open
metering valve (4) to the open fuel shutoff valve (3),
from there through the fuel-to-oil cooler (8) to the
primary fuel manifold (9), and through the flow divider to the secondary fuel manifold (10). The fuel
manifolds supply the duplex fuel-spray nozzles in
the combustion chamber. The fuel temperature is
automatically maintained at a value which will
prevent fuel filter icing by the operation of the antiice sensor (11) and the anti-ice valve (12).
When an N2 overspeed occurs during operation
and the mechanical governor fails to limit N2
to the governor reset value of 105%, the
computer will energize the ultimate overspeed
solenoid (13); at either 107% N1 or 109% N2,
the fuel shutoff valve will close, and the engine
will flame out.
Figure 7-22 shows the fuel system operation
in the manual mode.
It is assumed that the engine is operating at cruise
power. The associated fuel computer switch is either at MAN or OFF positions. The manual mode
valve (1) is deenergized and closed; therefore, the
N2 governor will control N2 rpm relative to power
lever position by varying the P 3 bleed to the
atmosphere (2). The metering valve (3) is positioned relative to pressure regulator and P3 differential to meter fuel to meet the power
requirement. The excess fuel is directed back to
the inlet of the HP pump by the bypass valve,
which responds to the changing P3 and the constant pressure determined by the inlet pressurizing valve (5). All other aspects of the fuel control
operation are similar to those described for automatic operation, except that if the computer
switch is at MAN instead of OFF position, an N1
and N2 alternate ultimate overspeed protection is
operational, provided that the monopole inputs

The Falcon 900 uses a high-energy ignition
system consisting of a dual-ignition exciter,
two high-tension cables, and two igniter plugs.
Figure 7-23 shows the locations of the components of the ignition system.

The ignition system is divided into three


modes: ground start, airstart, and stall.

Control
The ignition system is controlled by start selector switches on the ENGINES section of the
overhead switch panel (Figure 7-23). The
switches are labeled AIR START, GRD
START, MOTOR-START STOP. The power
for the switches is controlled by the twoposition power selector switch labeled NORMAL and EXT POWER. When in the
NORMAL position, the power source may be
batteries, APU, engine-driven generators, or a
combination of all. When in the EXT POWER
position, the power is supplied from the GPU.
The normal position of these switches is GRD

START. When in this position, the ignition operates when the associated power lever is
moved from the stop to the idle position.
Ignition will continue until terminated by an
electronic speed switch in the fuel computer
at approximately 50% N 2 . Ignition may be terminated up to 50% at any time by moving the
switch to the MOTORSTART STOP position.
The AIR START position bypasses the power
lever microswitch and provides continuous ignition on the ground or in flight. Normally this
position is used only for airstarts or ground
checks, (or at other times as outlined in the AFM).
The MOTORSTART STOP position is
pr imarily used to dry motor the engine
without fuel and ignition, for maintenance
purposes, or for clearing the engine following
an aborted ground start. This position may also
be used to terminate a ground start prior to
reaching 50% N2. It must be used to terminate
starting and ignition whenever manual mode
starts are made.
The stall ignition system is an automatic antiflameout system, which is armed for operation whenever the switch is in the GRD START
position. For more information on the stall
ignition system, see the Flight Controls
chapter in this training manual.

Indication
Amber rectangular lights labeled IGN 1,
IGN 2, and IGN 3, are below the start selector switches (Appendix B and Figure 7-23).
The associated light will be on whenever power
is available to the ignition exciter. These lights
are not an indication that the ignition exciter
or the igniter plugs are operational.

Operation
Figure 7-24 shows the operation of the ignition system during a ground start mode. The
switch is in the GRD START position, the
start is in progress, and the power lever is
moved from the stop to the idle position.
Ignition will continue until terminated by the
50% electronic speed switch in the fuel computer at 50% N2. The schematic also shows that

7-26

when the switch is in the AIR START position,


the power lever microswitch and the fuel computer are bypassed, resulting in continuous
ignition. The stall ignition is activated when
the autoignition relay is energized. For more
information on stall ignition, see the Flight
Controls chapter in this training manual.

INSTRUMENTATION
General
The engine-related instruments are mounted
in three vertical rows on the engine instrument panel (Figure 7-25). From top to bottom,
a typical layout consists of the following:

N 1 (LP spool rpm)


ITT (interturbine temperature)
N 2 (HP spool rpm)
Fuel flow
Fuel quantity
Oil pressure/temperature

N1 (LP Spool RPM)


The N1 gage is analog/digital. The analog scale
is calibrated in percent of design maximum N1,
from 0 to 110%. A sweep needle indicates selected rpm. A three-digit window with a fixed
decimal place is located on the N1 dial face.
The digital indication is also calibrated in
percent. The N 1 gage is the primary thrust
indicator and is used to set takeoff thrust. The
N 1 gage receives inputs from a dual-wound
monopole located at the aft end of the LP
spool shaft. One coil of the monopole
supplies the N1 inputs to the gage through a
preset compensator. The other coil supplies
N1 inputs to the fuel computer. The N 1 gage
has a compensating resistor specifically
calibrated for the associated engine. DC
power is required for operation; when power is
removed or fails the sweep needle will go to a
position below the 0% position, and the digital
display will go blank.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

Revision 4

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

ITT sensing is provided by dual parallel circuits, connected to ten thermocouples, circumferentially located between the HP and
LP turbines. One of the circuits supplies ITT
information to the cockpit gage, and the second circuit supplies identical information to the
fuel computer. The ITT gage requires DC
power for operation. When power is removed
or fails, the sweep needle will go to a position
below 0C and the digital display will go blank.

ITT (Interturbine Temperature)


The ITT gage is analog/digital. The analog
scale is calibrated in degrees Celsius from 0 to
1,000, and a sweep needle indicates the set
value. A four-digit display provides instantaneous ITT indication. The digital indicator is
located on the dial face. A red light on the dial
face will flash on and off when ITT indication exceeds 952C (or 974C when the power
increase system is used for the TFE731-5AR1C) and 980C (or 996 C when the power increase system is used for the TFE731-5BR-1C).

Engine Instrument Test System


A test system is provided for the N 1, ITT, and
N 2 gages. All three are tested simultaneously by
a push-button switch located on the maintenance test panel (Figure 7-27) on the copilots
sidewall.

Figure 7-25. Engine Instrument Panel

Figure 7-26 depicts the operation of the ITT


thermocouple system.

N2 (HP Spool RPM)


The N2 indicator is an analog gage calibrated in
percent of design maximum N2, from 0 to 110%.
A sweep needle indicates selected rpm. Inputs to
the N 2 gage are supplied by a dual-wound
monopole mounted on the transfer gearcase. One
coil supplies rpm information to the N2 gage. The
second coil supplies identical information to the
fuel computer. The N2 gage requires DC power
7-28

The test switch is labeled ENG INDIC TEST.


The test system indicates the validity of the
harness, signal processing, analog and digital
displays, and the N 1 compensator setting. The
test requires approximately 15 seconds. When
the test switch is momentarily pushed, the N 1
sweep needle will move to a blue dot position
at 106% and hold steadily; the digital display
will initially indicate 188.8%, then change to
106%, and finally change to the compensated
value of the N 1 compensating resistor. This
value must not be greater than 1.45% or less than
0% of actual N 1. The ITT sweep needle will go
to the blue dot on the dial face which is at
1,000C for the TFE731-5AR-1C or 1,040C
for the TFE731-5BR-1C. The digital indicator
will show 8888 and then 1,000 or 1,040, and the
red light on the dial face will flash on and off.
The N2 sweep needle will move to a blue dot
position at 106% and hold steady.

positions: stop, idle, and full power. A finger
latch on the power lever must be raised before
the lever can be moved between the stop and idle
positions. An adjustable hard stop is provided
at the full power position.

Reverser Lever

Ground Starts

A thrust reverser control lever is piggybackmounted on the No. 2 power lever.

Engine cranking for ground starts is achieved by


the starter-generator on the accessory gearcase.

Friction Control

There is no mandatory sequence for engine


starting, but the recommended sequence is
231 with APU generator or GPU power
available. With only battery power available,
the recommended sequence is 321.

Power lever friction is preset by maintenance.


There is no crew adjustment.

Quadrant Proximity Switches


and Solenoids
Proximity switches are mounted in the power
lever quadrant to perform a variety of functions
during power lever travel. These proximity
switches are identified as follows:
Thrust reverser arming (No. 2 engine)
Engine fail warning (No. 2 engine)
Thrust reverser control (No. 2 engine)
Air-conditioning cutoff
Stop/start
Landing gear warning
Engine warnings (T/O CONFIG)
In addition, the power lever quadrant contains
two electromagnetic lock solenoids. One solenoid locks the reverser lever at the deploy
position until the reverser doors reach the
fully deployed position, and the other solenoid
locks the power lever in the idle position when
the reverser is out of the stow position.

ENGINE STARTING
General
Engine starting is divided into two general
categories: ground start and airstart.
Ground starting includes battery starts, battery/generator-assisted starts, battery/APU
generator-assisted starts, and GPU starts.
Airstarts consist of starter-assisted airstarts and
windmilling airstarts.

Revision 2

Control
All switches associated with engine starting are
located on the overhead switch panel (See Figure
7-19). Electrical power control and distribution is
described in the Electrical Power Systems
chapter. Engine starting must not be attempted
until all safety checks are completed and discrepancies are corrected. Engine start procedures
are outlined in a checklist contained in the AFM.
Under all normal conditions the fuel computer
must be in the automatic mode for engine starting.
The following are not procedures; they are simplified descriptions of engine starting, using the
various power sources and the phases of the start
cycle. It is assumed that all switches and controls
are positioned as called for in the checklist.

Battery StartNo. 3 Engine


Push and momentarily hold the No. 3 engine start
switch; check for engine rotation on the N 2
gage to a minimum of 12% and indication of N1
rotation. Then move the No. 3 power lever to the
idle position, and check that the ignition light
comes on. Check for fuel flow and light-off, and
monitor ITT and N 2 rpm. Monitor N 2 to 50%,
and check that the ignition light goes out. Monitor all engine-related instruments until stabilized
idle is achieved.
Figure 7-29 depicts the DC power system during
a battery start of the No. 3 engine. Both battery
switches are on, and the BAT 1 and BAT 2
lights are off. The power selector switch is at
NORMAL, the bus tie is closed (rotary switch
horizontal), and the BUS TIED light is on. Pushing the No. 3 start switch will close the battery 2

contactor, paralleling battery 2 with battery 1


on the start bus; simultaneously the No. 3 start
contactor will close and connect the start bus to
the No. 3 starter-generator. Engine cranking
will occur, and ignition will begin when the
No. 3 power lever is moved to idle at 12% N2
and N 1 rotation is indicated; light-off will
occur almost immediately, and cranking will
continue until ignition and cranking are
automatically terminated at 50% N 2 rpm by
the associated electronic fuel computer. At the
same time the battery 2 contactor and the No. 3
start contactor will open. The No. 3 engine
generator will automatically assume bus load,
the GEN 3 light will go out, and battery
charging will begin.

Battery/APU GeneratorAssisted StartNo. 2 Engine


Normally the APU is started first and its generator is available to assist the start of all engines as long as the APU generator is on line.
For APU starting and operation, see the APU
chapter in this training manual.
Figure 7-30 depicts a battery/APU generatorassisted start of the No. 2 engine. Both battery
switches are on, the power selector switch is
at the NORMAL position, the APU generator
is on, and the bus-tie relay is closed. The
amber RCR generator lights and the BUS
TIED light are on. Pushing the No. 2 engine
start switch will open battery 1 and 2 makeand-break switches, BAT 1 and BAT 2 lights
will come on. Simultaneously, the battery 2
contactor will close and parallel battery 2 with
battery 1 on the start bus; the APU start contactor will close, connecting the APU
generator to the start bus; the generator 2 start
contactor will close, connecting the start bus
power to the windings of generator 2, initiating
the starting cycle. From here on the start
sequence is identical to that described for
battery starting.

7-32

When the start of the No. 2 engine terminates,


both generator 2 and the APU generator will
go on line. Both will parallel on the right main
bus; the BAT 1, BAT 2, GEN 2, and APU GEN
lights will all be out.

Battery/APU GeneratorAssisted StartNo. 3 Engine


(No. 2 Generator On)
Figure 7-31 depicts a battery/APU generatorassisted start of the No. 3 engine with generator 2 on line.
Pushing the No. 3 start switch will simultaneously open the battery 1 and battery 2 makeand-break switches, (the BAT 1 and BAT 2
lights will come on). The APU generator reverse current relay will also open, (the amber
APU GEN light will come on) disconnecting
the APU generator from the line. At the same
time the battery 2 start contactor will close and
parallel battery 2 with battery 1 on the start bus.
The APU start contactor will also close and
connect the APU generator to the start bus.
Finally the generator 3 start contactor will
close, connecting the APU generator and battery power (on the start bus) to generator 3 and
initiating the start of the No. 3 engine.
Generator 2 will continue to power the distribution buses. The BAT 1, BAT 2 , GEN 1,
GEN 3, BUS TIED lights, and the APU GEN
light will all be on.

Battery/APU GeneratorAssisted StartNo. 1 Engine


(No. 2 and No. 3
Generators On)
As the No. 3 engine start terminates, generator 3 will go on line to the left main bus (the
GEN 3 light will go out). The APU generator
will also go on line to the right main bus, and

its GEN light will go out. All three generators


will operate in parallel since the bus tie is
closed. Battery 1 and battery 2 will reconnect
to their associated main buses, the battery
lights will go off, and charging will recur until
a start is initiated on the No. 1 engine.
Figure 7-32 depicts what occurs when the No.
1 engine START switch is pushed. The battery
1 and battery 2 make-and-break switches will
open (the BAT 1 and BAT 2 lights will come on).
Simultaneously the APU generator reverse
current relay will open, (the amber APU GEN
light will come on) and disconnect the APU
generator from the distribution buses. The battery 2 contactor will close and parallel battery
2 with battery 1 on the start bus. The APU start
contactor will close and connect the APU
generator to the start bus. Finally, the No. 1 engine start contactor will close, connecting the
start bus to the windings of generator 1, and
initiate the start cycle. Generators 2 and 3 in parallel will supply the distribution buses. From
here on, the start cycle is identical with that described for a battery start of the No. 2 engine.

NOTE
When a generator-off light remains on
after the start terminates, it may indicate that the associated start contactor
failed to open, and the appropriate action must be taken by the crew.

When the No. 1 engine start terminates, generator 1 will connect to the left main bus, and the
GEN 1 light will go off. The APU generator will
reconnect to the right main bus, and the APU GEN
light will go off. Battery 1 and battery 2 will reconnect to their respective buses, and the BAT 1
and BAT 2 lights will go off. The BUS TIED
light will remain on until the bus-tie switch is
rotated to the FLIGHT NORMAL position.

NOTE
The bus-tie switch must be in the on
position (horizontal) for APU starting and for all engine starts except
when using a GPU. When the power
selector switch is moved to the EXT
POWER position, it will provide a

7-36

ground for the bus-tie relay, automatically closing it.

GPU Start No. 2 Engine


An approved GPU may be used to start an engine when required. The voltage and rating of
the unit must be checked before connecting and
operating. For more information on the GPU, its
control and protection, see the Electrical Power
Systems chapter in this training manual.
Figure 7-33 shows that the GPU is connected
and operating. Moving the power selector
switch from NORMAL to EXT POWER will
close the GPU contactor and simultaneously
open the battery 1 contactor and battery 2 makeand-break switch, disconnecting the batteries
from the main and start buses. The associated
battery-off lights will be on. DC power is
supplied to the bus-tie relay, closing it even if
the bus-tie switch is in the FLIGHT NORM
position. The GPU, when on, inhibits on-line
operation of all engine generators and the APU
generator to prevent them from being
paralleled with the GPU generator. The GPU
connects to the start bus through the GPU
contactor, to the left main buses through the
battery 1 make-and-break switch and to the
right main bus through the closed bus tie.
Pushing the No. 2 engine start switch closes
the No. 2 start contactor connecting the output
of the GPU to the windings of the No. 2
starter-generator. From here on, the starting
sequence is identical to that described for a
battery start of the No. 2 engine.
All generator, battery, and BUS TIED lights
will remain on as long as the GPU is connected and operating.

Engine Start Logic System


A built-in solid-state engine start logic system is provided to ensure a battery/generator-assisted start of any engine regardless of
the starting sequence. This logic system is
such that it does not require any special selections on the part of the crew other than following theapproved checklist. The system
applies to the APU as well as to all three
engine generators.

It does not apply to the GPU generator, since


the selection of EXT POWER by the power
selector switch inhibits the APU generator
and all engine generators until the switch is
returned to the NORMAL position.

Starter-Assisted Airstarts
Starter-assisted airstarts must be performed
whenever the windmilling N2 is 15% or less
and N 1 rotation is observed. The starting
checklist must be used as for a ground start.
The procedure and the starting phases are
identical with those already described for
battery starts and generator-assisted starts.

Airstarts
Airstarts consist of starter-assisted starts and
windmilling starts. All airstarts must be performed within the airstart envelope (Figure 73 4 ) c o n t a i n e d i n S e c t i o n 3 , A b n o r m a l
Procedures, of the AFM.

Windmilling Airstarts (Immediate)


An immediate airstart (defined as flameout
and high-speed airstart) may be performed at
any altitude, including altitudes above that
depicted in the airstart envelope. It is assumed
that the cause of flameout is known or not
caused by mechanical failure and that the fuel
computer is operational.

WARNING

An engine must not be airstarted unless the cause of flameout or the


reason for shutdown is determined as
n o t b e i n g c a u s e d b y fi r e o r m e chanical failure.

To perform a high-speed airstart, move the


power lever to idle immediately; then move the
start selector switch to AIR START, and check
that the IGN light is on. ITT should indicate
within 10 seconds. Monitor all engine-related

Turn the start selector switch back to GRD
START, and set power on the engine as required.

Windmilling Airstart (N2 15% or


Greater and N1 Greater Than 10%)
To perform an airstart when windmilling rpm
is 15% or greater is identical to the procedure
for a high speed airstart, except that when N2
reaches 50%, the start selector switch is moved
back to the GRD START position.

NOTE
Wait 10 seconds between two consecutive airstarts and do not perform
more than three unsuccessful
airstarts.

door in the engine air inlet duct (S-duct) is


not closed.
This engine-fail monitoring system is operational only when the airplane is on the ground.
A failure sensing unit receives inputs from the
nose gear proximity switches. A signal is generated when No. 2 engine PLA is at 84 setting
or higher and No. 2 engine N 1 is less than 85%.
The No. 2 engine fail light will also come on
in flight if the engine air inlet duct access is
not closed.

Indication
A light labeled ENG 2 FAIL (Appendix B)
located on the pilots instrument panel will
come on when any of the previously described conditions exist.

Aborting Airstarts
An airstart must be aborted when any of the
following conditions are present:
No oil pressure within 10 seconds of
light-off
No ITT within 10 seconds after moving
the power lever to idle
Rapid ITT increase (approaching 952C for
the TFE731-5AR-1C, or 978C for the
TFE731-5BR-1C)
N1 remaining close to zero when
N 2 = 20%
N 2 not increasing rapidly and smoothly
after light-off
If the IGN light remains on after moving the start
selector switch to GRD START, move the switch
to MOTORSTART STOP, and check that the
light goes off.

THRUST REVERSER
General
A hydraulically operated clamshell thrust reverser is mounted to the aft side of the fan
duct of the No. 2 engine. The two clamshells
fair with the aft end of the nacelle when the
reverser is in the stowed position (Figure 735). When deployed, the clamshells open on
a vertical axis (Figure 7-36), blanking the No.
2 engine exhaust and deflecting the applied
thrust outward and forward to assist ground deceleration of the airplane.
The reverser control circuitry is wired through
the main landing gear relays, which are controlled by the touchdown proximity switches;
consequently, the thrust reverser is operational only with weight on both main gear.

Locking

ENGINE FAILURE
(NO. 2 ENGINE)

The thrust reverser is locked in the stowed position by two S-shaped latches. The latches are
automatically unlocked by deploy pressure. They
are held in the locked position by spring force.

General
The No. 2 engine has a failure monitoring system which alerts the crew that the engine is not
developing takeoff thrust or that an access

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Control
The reverser is controlled by a piggyback lever
(Figure 7-28) mounted on the No. 2 engine
power lever. The reverser lever has three basic
positions: stow, deploy, and thrust increase.
The lever is mechanically locked in the stow
position until the No. 2 engine power lever is
at idle. The initial upward movement from the
stow position is limited by a reverse locking
solenoid, permitting deployment and idle reverse thrust only, until the clamshells reach the
fully deployed position.
Figure 7-37 depicts operating components and
hydraulic deployment of the thrust reverser.

Figure 7-35. Thrust Reverser


Stowed

Figure 7-36. Thrust Reverser


Deployed

Revision 3

When the reverser lever is moved to the deploy


position, a microswitch is operated and completes a circuit to the locking solenoid in the
reverser selector valve and to an isolation
solenoid, which in turn directs pressure to the
locking actuator and to the stow side of the reverser actuator to off-load the latches. When
the latches are released, the deployment
solenoid is energized to position the spool
valve in the reverser selector valve to direct hydraulic pressure to the reverser actuator to deploy the clamshells. When the clamshells reach
the fully deployed position, a microswitch is
closed, and power is applied to the reverse
locking solenoid, permitting movement to the
reverser lever to the full reverse thrust position.
While the reverser lever is out of the stow position the power lever is locked electrically
and mechanically in the idle position.
Moving the reverser lever toward stow reduces
reverse thrust until the idle/deploy position is
reached. The power lever remains mechanically
locked in the IDLE position. Moving the reverser lever to the stow position will permit the
spool valve to direct pressure to the stow side
of the reverser actuator. When the clamshells
reach the stow position, the mechanical latch
will automatically engage, the isolation valve
will deenergize, and hydraulic pressure is isolated from the reverser system.

Indication

The thrust reverser is powered from the No. 2


hydraulic system. The thrust reverser subsystem includes a pressure storage accumulator,
charged through a check valve. The accumulator stores fluid under nitrogen pressure and
is capable of one complete reverser cycle when
No. 2 system pressure is not available.

Two lights (see Annunciator section and Figure


7-25) provide indication of normal reverser
operation. One light (amber), labeled TRANSIT, will illuminate when any of the reverser
lock or clamshell door latches release during
deployment and remain on until a synchronizing bellcrank controlling the clamshells reaches
the fully deployed position.

The second light (green), labeled DEPLOYED, will come on when a synchronizing bellcrank controlling the clamshells
reaches the fully deployed position and remains on. The operating sequence of these
two lights indicates normal operation of the reverser. During a stow cycle the DEPLOYED
light will go out when the clamshells leave the
deployed position, and the TRANSIT light
will come on. The TRANSIT light will go off
when the clamshells are stowed and locked. A
light labeled REV UNLOCK on the warning panel will come on only during a retraction cycle and go off when the retraction cycle
is complete. This light will also come on during
flight if either one of the clamshell lock latches
is not in the locked position.

NOTE
There is no minimum groundspeed

may be used to a full stop since there
is no danger of foreign object
ingestion.

LIMITATIONS

Automatic Stowing
The thrust reverser incorporates an automatic
stow feature which will automatically apply
and maintain hydraulic pressure on the stow
side of the reverser actuator when any one of
the clamshell door latches moves from the
locked position.

This airplane must be operated in compliance


with the limitations contained in Section 1 of
the AFM, regardless of the type of operation.

Emergency Stow

THRUST RATING

An emergency stow system is controlled by a


guarded two-position switch on the engine instrument panel (Figure 7-25). The switch is lab e l e d S T OW a n d N O R M A L a n d i s
guarded in the NORMAL position. When the
switch is moved to the STOW position, the circuit will bypass all normal sequencing and
apply and maintain hydraulic pressure to the
stow side of the reverser actuator.

INTRODUCTION

The Falcon 900 has a fire protection system to detect and extinguish fires in certain sections of the airplane. The detection system activates warning lights and an aural tone in
the cockpit. The extinguishers are controlled by crew command.

GENERAL
The crew is warned of the presence of fire,
overheating, or smoke (in the baggage compartment) by detection units. For each zone the
fire panel or warning lights illuminate. An
audio warning sounds when overheat, fire, or
smoke exists in a monitored area other than the
wheel wells.
The airplane has two types of detection systems: continuous loop and smoke detection.
Fire protection is provided in the engine nacelles of all engines, in the APU area, and in
the baggage compartment. Each engine fuel
Revision 3

supply line incorporates an electrically operated shutoff valve.


The distribution tubing in the systems is supplied by fixed extinguisher bottles located in
the rear compartment. There are also two
portable extinguishers: one in the left cabinet
behind the pilots seat and the other at the rear
of the cabin.
On aircraft incorporating the appropriate option, two automatic fire extinguishers are installed in the front and rear lavatory trash cans.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Each of the main landing gear wheel wells is


provided with an overheat detection system.
The brakes are a potential source of heat which
may lead to excessively high temperatures
when the gear is retracted and the doors locked
closed. The gear wells are not equipped with
an extinguishing system.
A test circuit provides for detection and extinguishing system monitoring.

FIRE DETECTION
PANEL
The fire panel (Figure 8-1) is equipped with
extinguisher discharge control switches, located above the corresponding fire warning
light (FIRE 1, FIRE 2, and FIRE 3, FIRE APU,
and FIRE BAG COMP) (all colored lights are
shown in Appendix B).
The three engine extinguisher DISCH
switches have three positions, labeled 0,
1, and 2. The APU and baggage compartment discharge switches have two positions, labeled 0 and 1.
Normally, all of the DISCH switches are safetied with break-away wire to the 0 position.
The 1 position of the engine DISCH switches
is powered by the main bus as follows: No. 1
engine, bus A1; No. 2 engine, bus B1; No. 3
engine, bus A2. The 2 position is powered by
the battery bus. The switches must be pulled
out prior to upward movement to position 2.
The baggage compartment discharge switch is
powered by bus A2 and the battery bus; the
APU discharge switch is powered by bus B1
and the battery bus.
The APU discharge switch, when moved to
position 1, discharges a single bottle into the
APU area. If the baggage compartment discharge switch is placed in the 1 position, the
same bottle, if not previously selected, is discharged into the baggage compartment area.

8-2

There are five red fire warning lights on the


fire warning panel. The applicable light illuminates if a fire is detected in an engine or in
the area of the APU or smoke is detected in the
baggage compartment. The lights will remain
illuminated until the detected condition is
past. Light illumination is accompanied by
an aural warning, which can be silenced with
the HORN SIL pushbutton on the pedestal.
The applicable FAULT light illuminates if a
fault occurs in the corresponding detection
circuit. The FUEL SHUT OFF switches (one
for each engine) control fuel shutoff valves in
each engine feed line. Shutoff valve opening
or closing is verified by the amber TRANS
light going out when travel in either direction is completed. It should be noted that the
amber FAULT light is the only means of monitoring the loop. If this light is illuminated, a
fault is indicated in the associated loop.

FIRE DETECTION
SYSTEMS
ENGINE FIRE AND OVERHEAT
DETECTION
The continuous-loop fire detectors consist of
fine-bore capillary tubes of different lengths,
depending on where they are installed. These
detectors are permanently connected to a responder, and the complete assembly is hermetically sealed. The capillary tube encloses a
metal core saturated with an inert gas which
maintains pressure in the detector. This tube
is the sensitive element of the detector, and it
functions in two modes:
General overheat (ambient temperature detection)If the temperature in
the general area around the detector
increases, the resulting expansion of
the inert gas, when it reaches a predetermined level, triggers the warning
pressure switch incorporated in the detector unit.

Local overheating (pinpoint detection)


If a sudden local temperature rise occurs (actual flames), the metallic core
releases a high quantity of gas to immediately activate the pressure switch. This
process is reversible, allowing the detectors to function repeatedly. As the
temperature returns to normal, the gas is
reabsorbed by the metallic core, and the
detector returns to its initial state of
readiness.
Figure 8-2 shows the location of engine and
APU fire detectors.
The detector unit is a sealed responder containing two pressure switches:

Integrity pressure switchThe contacts


are normally closed by the inert gas
pressure in the tube.
When the detector unit preset temperature is
detected, the applicable FIRE light on the fire
panel illuminates, and the aural warning
sounds.
If the detector unit is not perfectly sealed, the
contacts are open. Illumination of the FAULT

OVERHEAT DETECTION

BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT
FIRE DETECTION
Fire protection in the baggage compartment is
provided by an optical smoke detector utilizing light reflection from smoke to excite a
photosensitive element.
When a smoke concentration of 15 to 30% penetrates the optical detector, the illumination of
a photoelectric cell is modified, triggering a
warning signal on an electronic circuit. The
FIRE BAG COMP warning light will illuminate
with a response time of less than four seconds.
To ensure that the warning signal is provided
without delay, the smoke detector is positioned
in the pressurization and conditioning airflow
the smoke is likely to follow.
The smoke detection system is tested by a lightemitting diode (LED) that directly illuminates
the photoelectric cell. As the cell is energized
in series with the light source, the cell, the

Revision 2

Continuous-loop detectors similar to those used


in the engine nacelles and the APU compartment
or overheat detectors supply an illuminating
signal for overtemperature in the main gear
wheel wells. The signal illuminates the respective red L. or R. WHL OVHT light on the
warning panel. There is no audible warning or
extinguishing system in the wheel wells. The
lights are tested by placing the TEST switch
on the warning panel to the LIGHTS position.
A block diagram of the entire fire detection
system is presented in Figure 8-3.

FIRE TEST
The various fire protection systems are tested
with the TEST switch on the top of the warning panel (Figure 8-4).
Placing the switch in the FIRE position tests the

Identification of Discharge Head Connections

ENGINE FIRE EXTINGUISHING


When an engine fire is indicated by illumination of a FIRE light, the fuel valve to that engine should be closed by raising the guard and
actuating the FUEL SHUT OFF switch (Figure
8-1). With the valve in transit, the amber TRANS
light illuminates, going out as the valve closes.
Referring to Figure 8-7, note that moving the
DISCH switch above the FIRE 1 light to the 1
position discharges the No. 2 bottle into the
No. 1 engine nacelle. If the fire persists, advancing the switch to the 2 position fires the No.
3 bottle into the same nacelle.
When a fire occurs in the No. 3 engine, positioning the DISCH switch to the 1 position fires
the No. 5 bottle contents into the No. 3 engine
nacelle. If the fire persists, advancing the switch
to the 2 position discharges the No. 4 bottle
into the same area.
Since the nacelle of the No. 2 engine is larger,
the No. 3 and No. 4 bottles are released into the
8-10

nacelle when the DISCH switch is in position.


Moving the switch to the 2 position discharges
the No. 2 and No. 5 bottles into the nacelle.

INTRODUCTION
The pneumatic system on the Falcon 900 uses engine and APU bleed air as input to the airconditioning, pressurization, and ice and rain protection systems. A system for control of
the bleed-air sources, indication of malfunction, and warning of malfunction is included.

GENERAL

ENGINE BLEED AIR

Air from the three engines or the APU is used by


the pneumatic system. The bleed air is divided into two categories, engine bleed air and
APU bleed air. The engine bleed air is supplied
from the compressors of the three engines. The
APU bleed is supplied from a plenum
surrounding the APU combustor. It is available
only when the airplane is on the ground.

GENERAL

Revision 1

The compressed air required for some airplane


systems or equipment is provided by the engine
through bleed ports. Each engine provides lowpressure (LP) bleed air from the last stage of the
low-pressure compressor and high-pressure (HP)
bleed air from the high-pressure compressor

discharge. Figure 9-1 illustrates the bleed-air


system.
Main HP circuit bleed valve operation is
controlled by HP1, PRV 2, and PRV 3 switches
located on the BLEED AIR panel (Figure 9-2).

LP BLEED AIR
The main bleed-air source for LP bleed air is
one inboard bleed port on the No. 1 and No.
3 engines and the left side of the No. 2 engine.
There is an auxiliary outboard bleed port on the
No. 1 engine and the right side of the No. 2 engine. The outboard bleed port of the No. 3 engine is not used.

HP BLEED AIR
The main bleed-air source for HP bleed air is
through interconnected bleed ports on each engine. The auxiliary bleed-air source is one bleed
port on the upper centerline of each engine.

BLEED-AIR MIXING
At the outlet of each engine, airflows from the
main LP and HP ports are mixed by venturi action so that the resulting pressure is greater than
LP bleed-air pressure. Figure 9-3 illustrates the
bleed-air system with the power levers at idle.
LP and HP characteristics relative to engine
status are listed in Tables 9-1 and 9-2.

The three airflows are then mixed and supply


a single air system, which can be divided into
two separate subsystems by means of an electric motor-operated isolation valve. The valve
is normally selected open as long as no fault
(leakage, smoke, etc.) is detected in either of
the subsystems.
One side of the isolation valve, connected to
the No. 1 and No. 3 engines, supplies compressed air to the cockpit air-conditioning and
the wing anti-icing systems. The other side
supplies the passenger cabin air-conditioning
and the No. 2 engine air intake and S-duct
anti-icing systems.
The auxiliary HP bleed-air systems are completely independent. Each supplies the air intake anti-icing of the corresponding engine.
The auxiliary LP bleed-air systems of the No.
1 and No. 2 engines are interconnected and
supply the fuel tank pressurization system.
Backflow from a running engine into an inoperative engine, or an engine at a lower power
setting, or injection of HP bleed air into the LP
bleed-air system is prevented by check valves.

LP bleed air (from the main or auxiliary source)


is available as soon as one of the engines is
started. There are no LP bleed-air shutoff
valves.
HP bleed air is controlled with valves activated
by switches in the cockpit, excluding the pressurization jet pump and waste water system.

APU BLEED AIR


When the airplane is on the ground, bleed air
from the APU can be fed to the main engine
bleed-air manifold and used to operate the
cabin air-conditioning system. APU bleed air
is also supplied to the pressurization jet pump
controlling the cabin outflow valves and water
tank pressurization. General characteristics
of APU bleed air are listed in Table 9-3.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

The No. 1 engine HP bleed valve is an on-off


device and opens only when the wing anti-icing
system is in operation.

As soon as the No. 2 engine and S-duct air intake anti-icing systems are switched on:

The No. 2 and No. 3 engine bleed valves are


pressure-regulating valves (PRV 2 and PRV 3).
They normally operate as regulating valves but
are commanded to fully open when the wing and
No. 2 engine S-duct air intake anti-icing systems
have been activated.

perature of LP 2 bleed air is less than


378.5 F (192.5 C).

This order is given by a solenoid valve located


in the air pressure reference circuit
downstream of each PRV. With anti-icing on,
the HP 1 valve closes, and PRV 2 and PRV 3
revert to the regulating mode of operation if
the associated LP temperature, as sensed by
the temperature probe, reaches a preset
threshold.

ANTI-ICING SYSTEMS NOT


ACTIVATED
For operation with anti-icing systems not activated (Figure 9-4), since engine power settings
are high, the circuit is supplied only with LP
bleed air:

The HP 1 valve is closed.


The pressure in the LP circuit holds PRV

The PRV 2 valve fully opens if the tem-

If the engine power setting is increased to more than 82, the No. 1
HP valve and No. 2 and No. 3 PRV automatically close for 18 seconds to
avoid bleed-air overheating.

OPERATION
ELECTRIC MOTOR-OPERATED
ISOLATION VALVE
This valve is controlled by the ISOLATION
switch located on the BLEED AIR panel.
When the isolation valve is closed, the main
bleed-air system is divided into two separate
subsystems:

One subsystem receives bleed air from


the No. 1 and No. 3 engines.

The other subsystem receives bleed air


from the No. 2 engine (or from the APU
when the airplane is on the ground).

2 and PRV 3 valves closed.

If the engine power setting is reduced


and the LP air becomes insufficient,
PRV 2 and PRV 3 open to compensate
for the low-pressure air supply.

ANTI-ICING SYSTEMS
ACTIVATED
As soon as the wing anti-icing systems are
switched on (Figure 9-5):

The HP 1 valve opens if the temperature of LP 1 bleed air is less than


378.5 F (192.5 C).

The PRV 3 valve fully opens if the temperature of LP 3 bleed air is less than
378.5 F (192.5 C).

Revision 2

APU BLEED VALVE


The APU bleed valve is controlled by:

The BLEED AIR APU switch


Three power lever angle proximity
switches

The APU electronic control unit


When the BLEED AIR APU switch is off, the
APU bleed valve closes regardless of engine
speed or the electrical signals received from the
APU electronic control unit.
When the BLEED AIR APU switch is on (Figure 9-6), the bleed valve opens (except when
one of the three power levers is set to a position
corresponding to a power setting greater than

54 PLA), and the degree of valve opening is


monitored by the APU electronic control unit so
that the APU T5 limit is not exceeded (the APU
bleed valve is fully open as long as the T5 limit
is not reached).

INDICATION
Indication of bleed-air system operation is accomplished with BLEED OVHT and BLEED
APU lights on the annunciator panel (Appendix
B) and an ISOL light on the BLEED AIR panel
(Figure 9-2).
The monitoring system consists of three temperature probes and an overheat detection box.
The three probes are located on the bleed-air
ducts downstream of the LP/HP air mixing
venturi of each engine.
The overheat detection box receives the temperature signal from the temperature probes
and compares it with a preset value of 635 F
(335 C) with anti-icing off or 545 F (285 C)
with anti-icing on. When the detected temperature exceeds this threshold, the detection box

Revision 2

causes illumination of the BLEED OVHT light.


The BLEED OVHT light flashes when the
switch (HP 1, PRV 2, or PRV 3) corresponding to the overheat circuit is placed in the off
position.
If the BLEED OVHT light illuminates, the crew
can easily determine which circuit is
overheating (and, therefore, what corrective
action to take) by setting the three switches to
off one at a time and noting which switch is off
when the light is flashing.
The ISOL light is normally extinguished and the
valve open, interconnecting all the bleed-air
sources. The ISOL light illuminates as soon as
the isolation valve is closed.
The BLEED APU light is extinguished as long
as the APU bleed-air valve is closed. The light
illuminates:
When the APU bleed-air valve is open
and at least one of the power levers is set
to a position corresponding to an engine power setting greater than 54 PLA
When the APU bleed-air valve is open
and the control switch is off

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the ice and rain protection systems installed in the Falcon 900.
All values used throughout this chapter, such as for pressure, temperature and flow are
used for their illustrative meanings only. Pertinent values must be obtained from the manuals and publications issued with the airplane.

GENERAL
The anti-iced areas of the Falcon 900 include
the nacelle inlet lips, the No. 2 engine S-duct,
the P T2T T2 probes in the nacelle intake, the
ECU heat exchanger ram-air inlet, the wing
leading-edge slats, the fixed leading-edge sections on the inboard side of each wing panel,

the main windshields, the cockpit side and aft


windows, the air data systems, and the water
drains. In addition, a rain removal system is provided for the main windshields, as well as internal defogging. An antifogging system is also
provided for the cabin windows.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

NACELLE INTAKE
ANTI-ICING
GENERAL
The nacelle intakes (Figure 10-1) are antiiced by hot bleed air from the associated engines HP compressor. The intake lips form
D-ducts, and a piccolo tube is located in each
D-duct. The hot air is discharged through the
piccolo tube holes to impinge on the duct skin
and prevent ice formation. The air is then discharged overboard through louvered outlets.
Figure 10-2. No. 1 Nacelle Air Inlet
and Ram-Air Inlet

switch also controls the electrical power supply to the PT2TT2 probe located in the air intake.

Figure 10-1. Nacelle Air Intakes

The switch is lever-locked in the off (down)


position. When turned on, power is applied to
the P T2 T T2 and to the solenoid of a pressureoperated, engine pressure-regulating, antiicing valve. If the engine is running, the HP
outlet pressure opens and modulates the valve,
maintaining a relatively constant anti-icing
pressure, which is supplied directly to the
ram-air inlet lip and through a flow limiter to
the nacelle inlet lip.

NO. 1 NACELLE AND RAM-AIR


INLET ANTI-ICING
General
The anti-icing HP bleed-air supply from the
No. 1 engine is used to anti-ice the nacelle inlet
lip and the ECU heat exchanger ram-air inlet
(Figure 10-2) in the No. 1 engine pylon.

Control
The system is controlled by a PCB in conjunction with a two-position switch labeled
ENG 1, located on the ANTI-ICE section of
the overhead panel (Figure 10-3), to control
the anti-icing air supply for the No. 1 nacelle
air intake and the ram-air inlet; in addition, the

Indication and Warning


A dual light above the ENG 1 switch provides
indication and warning for the No. 1 engine
nacelle anti-icing. The light has a green and
an amber lens. The indication and warning
system is operated by a low-pressure switch
and a high-pressure switch controlled by a
PCB. The low-pressure switch controls the
green light, which comes on and remains on
when the ENG 1 switch is on and the pressure
in the anti-icing line is at least 4 psi. The
amber light provides dual indication; if it is
on steadily when the ENG 1 anti-icing switch
is on and the green light is off, it indicates that
line pressure is less than 4 psi or that the antiicing valve failed to open. If the amber light
is flashing when the ENG 1 switch is on, it indicates that line pressure is greater than 90 psi,
possibly caused by failure of the regulating feature of the anti-icing valve. The amber light
comes on momentarily when the ENG 1 switch
is turned on; it should go off when the green
light comes on. The amber light also comes on
flashing when the ENG 1 switch is turned off
and the anti-icing valve fails to close. There
is no indication or warning of operation or
malfunction of the P T2 T T2 probe anti-icing
system.

Operation
Figure 10-4 in conjunction with Table 10-1
depicts the operation of the No. 1 nacelle and
ram-air inlet anti-icing. The pressure-regulating
valve is modulating the supply of HP bleed air
to maintain a constant pressure in the anti-icing
line and limits that pressure to 65.2 psi. The HP
air supply is applied directly to the ram-air inlet
lip and through a flow limiter to the piccolo tube
in the nacelle intake lip. The anti-icing air is exhausted to the atmosphere through louvers on the
nacelle and through drilled holes on the pylon.

NO. 2 NACELLE AND S-DUCT


ANTI-ICING
General

ENG 1

ENG 2

Two separate areas of the No. 2 nacelle require


anti-icing: the nacelle air intake lip and the intake S-duct.
The air source for the intake lip is supplied
from the No. 2 engine HP compressor. The air
source for S-duct anti-icing is LP air supplemented by HP air, based on LP duct temperature, as described in Chapter 9, Pneumatics,
and Chapter 11, Air Conditioning.
Normally, the air supply for the S-duct antiicing is an HP/LP mix from the bleed-air manifold interconnecting all three engines; however,
if the ISOLATION switch on the BLEED AIR
panel (Figure 10-3) is off (stripe vertical), the
No. 2 engine continues to supply air directly to
the bleed-air manifold, providing for S-duct
anti-icing and cabin air-conditioning operation.

intake.

provided as well; therefore, it is not possible


to determine whether the indication applies to
the nacelle or to the S-duct system.

Turning the ENG 2 on completes a circuit for


the P T2 T T2 probe heat and applies electrical
power to the engine nacelle air intake pressureregulating valve, which operates the same as
the No. 1 nacelle air intake pressureregulating valve. The engine nacelle air intake
pressure-regulating valve opens and supplies
HP air from the No. 2 engine HP compressor
through a flow limiter to the piccolo tube in
the nacelle intake lip. This valve modulates to
control pressure exactly as described for the
No. 1 nacelle.

Operation

Simultaneously, a circuit is completed to the


S-duct anti-icing valve, which opens to supply bleed air through a flow limiter to the Sduct distribution system, as determined by LP
2 duct temperature. If LP 2 duct temperature
is less than 192.5C, a circuit is completed to
the full opening solenoid of PRV 2, and PRV
2 opens fully and supplies HP 2 air to mix
with LP 2 air. If LP 2 duct temperature is
higher than 192.5C, PRV 2 operates as a pressure-regulating valve, allowing LP air to maintain a specific duct pressure.

Indication and Warning


The indication and warning systems associated
with the No. 2 nacelle and S-duct anti-icing
system consist of a PCB, a high-pressure
switch, two low-pressure switches, S-duct and
air intake PRV valve position, PRV position,
and a dual-lens light. The light is located
above the ENG 2 switch (Figure 10-3). The
green and amber lenses provide indication of
operation corresponding to the ENG 2 switch
on the overhead panel. Light illumination is
controlled according to data from the position of the air intake PRV, the S-duct anti icing
valve, the low-pressure switches, the highpressure switch, and the position of PRV 2
according to temperature. These indications
are identical to those for the No. 1 nacelle
pressure monitoring, as explained earlier.
Temperature monitoring for the S-duct is

Revision 2

Figure 10-5 in conjunction with Table 10-2 depicts the operation of the No. 2 nacelle and Sduct anti-icing systems. The HP air for the
nacelle lip is supplied from the HP compressor
of the No. 2 engine through a pressure-regulating
valve which modulates to maintain a relatively
constant pressure in the anti-icing line and in
addition limits the pressure to less than 65.2 psi.
This air is circulated through the intake lip and
then discharged to the atmosphere through louvered outlets on the nacelle.
At the same time S-duct anti-icing valve opens
and supplies an HP/LP mix of engine bleed air.
The mix ratio is determined by PRV 2, which
will modulate based on the temperature in the
LP 2 duct. For more information on the operational characteristics of PRV 2, see Chapter
9 , P n e u m a t i c s , a n d C h a p t e r 1 1 , A i r
Conditioning, in this training manual.

NO. 3 NACELLE ANTI-ICING


General
The No. 3 nacelle intake lip is anti-iced by hot
bleed air from the No. 3 engine HP compressor. The air is supplied to the nacelle lip
through a flow limiter. Following circulation,
the air is discharged to the atmosphere through
louvered outlets.

Control
The system is controlled by the ENG 3 leverlock switch on the ANTI-ICE section of the
overhead panel. In addition to controlling the
intake lip anti-icing, the switch also controls
the power supply for the P T2 T T2 probe antiicing. The control is identical to that described
for the No. 1 nacelle.

Indication and Warning

Operation

The indication and warning systems include


a PCB, high-pressure switch, low-pressure
switch, and dual-lens light located above the
control switch. The green light, when on, indicates operation, and the amber light indicates
malfunctions. Operation and malfunction indication is identical to the description give
earlier for the No. 1 nacelle.

Figure 10-6 in conjunction with Table 10-1 depicts the operation of the No. 3 nacelle antiicing system. HP bleed air from the No. 3
engine HP compressor is directed through the
pressure-regulating anti-icing valve and
through a flow limiter to the piccolo tube in
the nacelle lip. Following circulation in the Dduct, the air is discharged to the atmosphere
through louvered outlets on the nacelle.

The pressure-regulating anti-icing valve modulates to maintain a relatively constant pressure in the anti-icing duct and limits the
pressure to 65.2 psi.

WING LEADING-EDGE
SLATS ANTI-ICING
GENERAL
The sectional leading-edge slats and the fixed
inboard leading-edge sections of each wing
panel are anti-iced by hot engine bleed-air.
Though system efficiency is predicated on
bleed-air supplies from the No. 1 and No. 3 engines, the No. 2 engine bleed-air supply is also
normally available to the wing slats and the inboard wing root fixed leading-edge sections of
the wing unless the isolation valve is closed.
The slats and the fixed wing root leading-edge
sections are double-skinned and form a duct.
A manifold is installed in each leading-edge
slat. Hot air is supplied directly to the fixed
inboard wing root sections and through telescoping tubes to the movable slat section manifolds on each wing.

CONTROL
The wing leading-edge slat anti-icing is controlled by a PCB in conjunction with a twoposition lever-lock switch labeled WING
on the ANTI-ICE section of the overhead
panel, and also in conjunction with the HP 1
and PRV 3 switches on the BLEED AIR section of the overhead panel. When the switch
is on (up), power is supplied to open the wing
anti-ice valve. The HP 1 valve opens if the LP
1 bleed-air temperature is less than180C;
otherwise it remains closed. PRV 3 opens fully

Revision 2

if the temperature of LP 3 is less than 180C;


otherwise, it operates as a pressure-regulating
valve, providing a mix of HP/LP air from the
No. 3 engine. For more information on the
operation of HP 1 and PRV 3, see Chapter 9,
Air Conditioning, in this training manual.

INDICATION AND WARNING


Indication and warning is provided by a duallens light located above the switch (Figure 103). The green light provides indication of normal
operation. The amber lens provides steady and
flashing indications of system malfunctions.

OPERATION
Figure 10-7 and Table 10-3 depict the operation, indication, and warning of the wing leading-edge slat anti-icing system. With the WING
switch selected on, the wing anti-ice valve
opens. HP 1 will fully open, as will PRV 3
through its energized full-opening solenoid,
when the temperature of the corresponding LP
bleed air is less than 192.5C. Exceeding this
temperature will allow HP 1 to close and PRV
3 to resume a regulating mode of operation.
HP/LP bleed-air mix is directed through two
ducts to the left and right wing panels. The antiicing air is supplied by rigid ducts to the fixed
sections of the inboard leading edges and to left
and right manifolds along each wing panel,
where it is directed to the manifolds in the respective movable slat sections by telescoping
tubes which compensate for slat travel. The airflow through the slats is depicted in the slat section inset in Figure 10-7, and Table 10-3 depicts
the operation and the logic system of control,
indication, and warning, associated with the
wing slats anti-icing system.

NOTE
The anti-icing air for the wing slats
is supplied from the bleed-air manifold, which in turn is normally supplied an HP/LP mix from all three
engines unless the isolation valve is
closed, which isolates the No. 2 engine bleed air from the manifold.
However, the wing anti-icing air supply is predicated on a bleed-air supply from the No. 1 and No. 3 engines
since PRV 2 fully opening is predicated on No. 2 engine nacelle intake
and S-duct anti-icing.

are closed. Selection of the lever-lock WING


position opens only the wing anti-icing valve.
With the WING-BRK position selected, the
two brake heating valves along with the wing
anti-icing valve open.

INDICATION AND WARNING


Indication is provided by a dual-lens light,
one lens green and one amber, located above
the WING-BRK switch (Figure 10-3). The
green light provides indication of normal operation of both the wing anti-icing and brake
heating systems.
Extinguishing of the green light indicates either a failure of the wing anti-icing system,
whatever the position of the switch, or a failure of the brake heating system if the switch
is in the WING-BRK position. Wing anti-icing
system overheat indications remain operative
(green light out and amber light flashing).

GENERAL
The main landing gear brake heating system
eliminates any possibility of brake seizure
following a takeoff from a snow-covered (dry,
wet, or slush) runway.
Brake heating is accomplished with bleed air
from the wing anti-icing pipe passing through
the upper part of the landing gear wheel wells.
A distribution pipe attached to the anti-icing
pipe supports an electrically operated valve in
each gear well.
The No. 1 and No. 3 engines supply bleed air
for operation of the system. No. 2 engine
bleed-air supply is also normally available to
the brake heating system unless the bleed-air
isolation valve is closed.

CONTROL
Main landing gear brake heating is controlled
by a control relay (PCB) and the two brake
heating electric valves in conjunction with a
three-position (WING-BRK, WING, and OFF)
switch on the overhead panel. With the switch
in the OFF position, the wing and brake valves

OPERATION
Figure 10-7A, in conjunction with Table 104, depicts the operation of, and the indications and warnings associated with, both the
wing leading-edge slats anti-icing system and
the brake heating system. With the WINGBRK switch selected to the WING position, the
wing anti-ice valve opens, the associated HP
1 and PRV 3 valves operate as described earlier under Wing Leading-Edge Slats Antiicing, and the brake heating valves close.
Selection of the WING-BRK switch to the
WING-BRK position allows opening of both
brake valves, the wing anti-ice valve, and HP
1 and PRV 3 valves as described earlier for
wing leading-edge slats anti-icing. Anti-icing
air is supplied by a distribution pipe routed toward the front of each landing gear wheels
assembly and two brake heating valves, which
supply a venturi via an injector. This venturi,
together with a distribution pipe, supplies a
mixture of hot and ambient air via a nozzle located between the wheels.

WINDSHIELD ANTIICING AND SIDE


WINDOW HEAT
GENERAL
The cockpit windows are categorized as pilots
and copilots windshields, center windshield,
pilots sliding DV window, copilots side window,
and pilots and copilots aft side window.
Anti-icing and birdproofing is provided for
the pilots windshields. The system is designed
to prevent ice formation on these glasses and
simultaneously maintain bird penetration
proofing throughout the operating envelope
of the airplane.
A separate heating system is provided for the
pilots sliding DV window, the copilots side
window, and the left and aft side windows.

10-12

WINDSHIELD ANTI-ICING
General
The windshield anti-icing system constitutes
two separate but identical systems. The left or
pilots system provides anti-icing electrical
power for the pilots glass and the left half of
the center glass. The copilots system provides anti-icing electrical power for the right
glass and the right half of the center glass.
Each system consists of heating elements and
temperature-sensing probes embedded in a
butyl member located between the glasses;
separate controllers are provided for the pilots
and copilots systems. Each controller incorporates an automatic system which senses
temperature probe failure, underheating or
overheating, and then transfers the faulty system to the operating system which maintains
normal operation.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

Revision 2

FlightSafety

FlightSafety

international

international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

The electrical control power for each system is


also separate: the pilots system is powered from
bus A1, and the copilots system from bus B2.

Control
A three-position control switch is provided
for each pilot on the WINDSHIELD section
of the overhead switch panel (Figure 10-3).
The switches are identified PILOT and
COPILOT, and the positions are labeled
OFF, NORM, and MAX. When the
switches are in the NORM position, the heating element in each pilots windshield is in series with the associated heating element in
the center glass. The associated controller directs main bus power through the normal heating contactor to the appropriate glasses in
response to the input signals from the temperature sensor in each pilots windshield.
The temperature is maintained between 77
and 86F.
The MAX position is used only when the
NORM selection does not maintain the glasses
free of ice. Selecting MAX closes a high heat
relay connecting the pilots windshield glass
elements in parallel with the associated center windshield element through a resistor. The
heating current now takes the line of least resistance through the pilots windshield heating elements, resulting in an increase in power
to maintain the pilots glass free of ice. Some
current still continues to flow through the associated center windshield element but not
sufficient to maintain the glass free from ice.
The glass temperature range on the pilots
windshield remains the same; however the cycling rate is almost doubled.

Indication and Warning


An amber light, labeled XFR, above the
windshield anti-icing control switches comes
on if a temperature sensor short-circuits or
opens, or if sensor resistance is too high or low.
At the same time the affected controller automatically transfers the system to the operating controller so that both systems are
controlled by a single controller, and normal
operation continues.

Revision 2

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Operation
Figure 10-8 depicts normal operation of the
windshield anti-icing system. Both switches
are at the NORM position, and the normal
heat control relays are energized. The main and
center glass heating elements are in series
with each other. Moving a switch to MAX
adds a nonheating resistor to the main glass
heating element; consequently, the main heating element has the lowest resistance, and cycling time increases, maintaining the main
glass free of ice. The inputs from the temperature probes to the individual controllers cycle
the power on and off to maintain the glass
temperature range of 77 to 86F.

WINDOW

The air data system anti-icing is controlled by


three-position switches on the PITOT section
of the overhead panel (Figure 10-3). The
switches are labeled PILOT, ST-BY, and
COPILOT. When the PILOT switch is turned
on (up), DC power is applied to the heating element in the left pitot probe, the elements in
the left and right static port pads, the elements
in the left stall warning vane and socket, and
the element in the OAT sensor. Turning on the
ST-BY switch applies power to the element in
the standby pitot probe. Turning on the COPILOT switch applies power to the element in the
right pitot probe, the elements in the right and

COCKPIT WINDOWS
DEFOGGING AND
DEMISTING
GENERAL
Defogging is provided for the pilots windshields, and demisting is provided for the
pilots DV window, the copilots side window, and the aft side windows.

WINDSHIELD DEFOGGING
The main windshields are defogged by conditioned air supplied from the right cockpit duct,
which also supplies the footwarmers. Installed
in this duct are distributor valves which permit the total airflow to be supplied to the footwarmers or for windshield defogging or to be
distributed between the two systems.

CONTROL
The footwarmers and windshield defogging are
controlled separately for both pilots. Unlabeled
levers (Figure 10-12) are installed on the pilots instrument panels. A white line scribed
above the levers has upward-and downwardfacing arrowheads. Moving the lever to the
upward-facing arrowhead positions the distributor valve to direct all airflow for windshield defogging. Positioning the lever to any
intermediate position distributes the airflow
as desired.
The windshield defogging system is enhanced
by the EFIS cooling air blowers, which operate continuously once power is distributed to
the airplanes DC system. These blowers induce air from floor level upward across the
EFIS units on each pilots instrument panel and
exhaust the airflow toward the windshields
through grills on the glareshield.

DEMISTING
The pilots DV window, copilots side window, and the aft side windows are demisted
from riser ducts on each side of the cockpit.

10-16

Figure 10-12. Footwarmer/Defogging


Control Lever

In addition, air is circulated in the airspace


between the inner and outer panes of the aft side
windows. This air enters through small holes
drilled in the inner pane at the forward side. The
drier air prevents misting of the glass.

OPERATION
Figure 10-13 depicts the cockpit windows defogging and demisting operation.

CABIN WINDOW
DEMISTING
The cabin windows are demisted by circulating cabin air in the air space between the inner
and outer panes. The air enters through small
holes in the inner pane of each cabin window.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS
GENERAL
Electrically operated, windshield wipers are provided for the pilots windshields. The systems are
independent for each pilot. When the wipers are
not in use, they are stowed from view in a recess
at the base of each windshield.

CONTROL

CONTROL

The wipers are controlled by three-position


switches located on the WIPER sections of the
overhead switch panel (Figure 10-3). The
switch positions are labeled OFF, SLOW,
and FAST. Each wiper system includes a
DC motor and converter unit, fast and slow relays, and a travel-limit switch. When a WIPER
switch is moved to the FAST position, the fast
and slow relays are both energized, and the
motor rotates at maximum rpm. The converter
unit converts the rotary motion of the motor
to a reciprocating motion for the wiper arm.
Selecting the switch to SLOW energizes only
the slow relay, and the motor operates at low
rpm. Moving the switch to OFF completes a
circuit to the motor through an end-of-travel
switch which is opened by a cam when the
motor reaches the stowed or parked position
of the wiper arm.

The water waste drain anti-icing is supplied


DC power from bus A2 through a circuitbreaker and operates continuously once generator power or external power is distributed
throughout the airplane.

OPERATION

OPERATION
Figure 10-16 depicts the water waste drain
anti-icing. When power is available and the circuit breaker is in, the anti-ice relay is energized
when at least one generator or external power
is supplying the bus system. This power is
distributed in parallel to the heating elements.

LIMITATIONS
All limitations contained in Section 1 of the AFM
pertaining to ice and rain protection are binding
under law regardless of the type of operation.

Figure 10-14 depicts the operation of the windshield wipers. The pilots WIPER switch is at
the FAST position, and the fast and slow relays are energized, completing a circuit to the
motor windings. The copilots switch has been
moved to OFF, completing a circuit through
the limit switch to the motor windings. The
motor operates until the limit switch is opened
by the end of travel cam, at which time the
wiper arm is at the fully stowed position.

WATER WASTE DRAIN


ANTI-ICING
GENERAL
The water waste drains direct water waste into
a drain mast at the lower section of the fuselage aft of the utility compartment door (Figure
10-15). A continuous anti-icing system is provided for the drain mast. The system consists
of a relay and two heating elements.

CHAPTER 11
AIR CONDITIONING

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the air-conditioning system of the Falcon 900 series airplanes.
The air-conditioning system includes all of the following subsystems: heating and cooling of the occupied areas of the cockpit and passenger cabin, forced ventilation of the
nose cone area, underfloor conditioning for the floor panels, engine and flight control
components at frame 25, toilet and baggage compartment conditioning, footwarming and
defogging, and forced circulation in the area of the EFIS packages.

GENERAL
The air-conditioning system of the Falcon 900
is specifically designed to maintain comfortable environmental conditions throughout the
complete operating envelope of the airplane.
Hot bleed air is tempered by heat exchangers in
conjunction with a turbofan and is cooled by an

air cycle machine (ACM). The hot, tempered, and


cooled air masses are mixed in precise proportions by an electronically controlled valving system, operating in conjunction with recirculating
jet pumps, to produce and maintain the desired
temperature in the occupied areas. Humidity
control is provided by water separators.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Ozone catalyzers are installed in the passenger and crew ducts.


Independent electronic temperature control
systems are provided for the crew and passenger system; each may be operated in fully
automatic or manual modes. On-ground conditioning is available without the use of external control units.

AIR SOURCES
GENERAL
For descriptive purposes the air sources consist of LP, HP, and APU air. The LP source of
air is supplied from the final stage of each engines LP compressor. The HP air source is
supplied (when specifically required) from
each engines HP compressor. Air is supplied
from the compressor of the APU to facilitate
air-conditioning when the airplane is on the
ground and the engines are not running. LP
bleed air is nonselective; since there are no LP
bleed-air valves, it is available once an engine
is started. The LP bleed air from the No. 1 and
the No. 3 engines is supplied directly to a
common distribution manifold. The No. 2 engine LP bleed air is supplied to the same manifold through a normally open isolation valve.
This manifolded supply is available to the
crew air-conditioning system. The LP bleed air
for passenger air conditioning is supplied by
a branch duct directly from the LP compressor of the No. 2 engine, or from the No. 1 and
the No. 3 engines to the same branch duct
through the normal open isolation valve. APU
air can be supplied to both air-conditioning
systems when the airplane is on the ground.
The HP air source is a supplemental supply, and
though selective, its operation once selected is
entirely automatic and ensures that an adequate air mass is available for the environmental systems under all operating conditions.

11-2

CONTROL
The HP bleed-air valves and their control differ somewhat for the No. 1 engine and the No.
2 and No. 3 engines. The primary control for
the No. 1 engine HP bleed-air valve is a twoposition switch, labeled HP 1, located on the
BLEED AIR section of the overhead switch
panel (Figure 11-1). This valve is two-position,
open or closed. When the HP 1 switch is in auto
(up), the valve remains closed unless the
WING switch labeled WING on the ANTIICE section of the overhead panel is at the on
(up) position and the LP duct temperature is
less than 378F (192.5C).
Once open, the HP 1 bleed-air valve remains
fully open until either the HP 1 switch or the
WING anti-ice switch is turned off or the LP
duct temperature exceeds 378F (192.5C); in
either case the HP 1 valve goes to the closed
position.
When open, the HP 1 bleed-air valve injects a
volume of HP air through a jet pump nozzle into
the LP air duct; this venturi effect obtains maximum mixed bleed-air flow and pressure.
The HP bleed-air supply from the No. 2 and
the No. 3 engine is controlled by a pressureregulating valve (PRV) for each engine. These
valves are electropneumatic and are primarily
controlled by associated switches labeled PRV
2 and PRV 3 on the BLEED AIR section of
the overhead switch panel.
The PRV 2 valve opens fully when the PRV 2
switch on the BLEED AIR panel is in auto
(up) and the ENG 2 switch on the ANTI-ICE
panel is on (up) and the LP duct temperature
is less than 378.5F (192.5C). When the LP
duct temperature is greater than 378.5F
(192.5C), the PRV 2 valve operates as a pressure regulating valve by modulating in proportion to downstream pressure. The HP bleed
air through the PRV valve is injected into its
LP duct through a jet pump nozzle, as previously described for HP 1 bleed air.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

The PRV 3 valve is primarily controlled by the


PRV 3 switch on the BLEED AIR section of
the overhead switch panel. The valve will be
fully open whenever the WING anti-ice switch
is on and duct temperature upstream of its jet
pump nozzle is less than 374F (190C). It
modulates as a pressure regulator when duct
temperature exceeds 378F (192.5C). The
HP bleed air passing through the valve is injected into its LP duct, as described earlier.
The auxiliary air source is supplied from the
APU compressor through a bleed-air valve and
a check valve. At engine speeds above 97%
rpm, when APU bleed air is selected, the APU
surge valve closes. This supply is directed into
the LP/HP duct of the No. 2 engine and is therefore available to the bleed-air manifold through
the normally open isolation valve as a cockpit
air supply; in addition, it is directly available
to the cabin air-conditioning valve bypassing
the manifold.
The APU bleed-air valve is directly controlled
by the two-position switch labeled APU,
located on the BLEED AIR section of the
overhead switch panel, in conjunction with a
proximity switch operated by each engines
power lever and output signals representing
rpm and EGT transmitted from the APU electronic control unit (ECU). When the APU
bleed-air switch is on, APU rpm is 97% or
greater, and all engine power levers are set to
less than 54 PLA, the APU bleed-air valve
is open; however, it modulates toward closed
in response to ECU signals representing APU
EGT (T5 ). The APU bleed-air valve goes to
the closed position when any power lever is
advanced to a position representing 54 PLA,
whether or not the engine is running. Failure
of the valve to close in this condition will illuminate the BLEED APU light after a 12second delay.
In summary, the HP bleed-air supply from
the No. 2 and the No. 3 engine is available to
the associated LP/HP ducts as a function of
pressure and/or temperature independently
sensed by temperature probes in the
associated LP ducts. Since temperature is a

11-4

function of engine power, the positions of the


PRV 2 and PRV 3 valves may also be determined by power lever position and altitude
while the position of the HP 1 valve is a function of wing anti-icing and LP duct temperature. This valve is either open or closed. The
controlling temperature probe is located in the
associated LP duct.
Figure 11-2 depicts the bleed-air operation
with the anti-icing systems off.
Figure 11-3 depicts the bleed-air operation
with the anti-icing systems on.
Figure 11-4 depicts the APU bleed-air operation.
For more information on the bleed-air system
functions, control, operation, and indication,
see Chapter 9, Pneumatics, in this training
manual.

INDICATION
A separate temperature monitoring system is
provided to detect overheat conditions in the
mixed-air ducts downstream of the HP air jet
pumps (venturis). The probes supply temperature information to a common control box
which compares the inputs to a preset value of
635F (335C). The triggering values are based
on operation of the wing and S-duct anti-icing
systems. When this threshold is reached, a
light labeled BLEED OVHT on the warning
panel (Appendix B) comes on. The problem
system may be identified by tur- ning off the
PRV 3, HP 1, and PRV 2 switches one at a time.
The light begins flashing when the problem
switch is turned off. A light labeled BLEED
APU, also on the master warning panel, is on
if the APU bleed-air valve is not closed and
any power lever is advanced to a position on
the fuel control unit (FCU) corresponding to
54. A light labeled ISOL on the BLEED
AIR section of the overhead switch panel is on
when the ISOLATION switch is off (stripe
vertical). Control and operation of the isolation valve will be described later.

AIR CONDITIONING
GENERAL
Air conditioning consists of heating and cooling systems. Cooling functions are performed
automatically by an environmental control
unit (ECU). The bleed-air supply is directed
to the ECU by two air-conditioning valves, one
for the crew and one for the passenger system.
The air-conditioning valves are controlled by
associated switches labeled PASSENGER
and CREW, located on the BLEED AIR section of the overhead panel. The switches have
three positions: AUTO, ON, and OFF. The
ON position drives the associated valve to the
open position. The OFF position drives the
associated valve to the closed position.The
functions of the AUTO position of the airconditioning switches are determined by the
airplanes configuration. When the airplane is
on the ground, placing the air-conditioning
switches switches to the AUTO position drives
the associated valve open if all three power
levers are at a position less than 54 PLA. The
valves remain open until any power lever is advanced to 54 PLA or more. This opening or
closing rate is at the normal operating rate of
two to four seconds. When the switches are at
the AUTO position, both air-conditioning
valves close when takeoff power is applied. At
lift-off the valves begin opening at the normal
rate during the first 0.7 second, ensured by
time-delay relays; then electrical sequencers
assume control and this rate of opening decreases. On later serial number aircraft, the
time-delay relays have been removed. The full
opening time in both cases is approximately
two minutes.
Heating is a function of compression, bleeding, and mixing of the air supplies from the engine LP and HP compressors. The heat of
compression is adequate for all operating conditions, thus eliminating the necessity for a
secondary heating system.
Cooling is achieved by a dual two-pass heat
exchanger operating in conjunction with a turbofan assembly. The cooling medium for the

11-8

heat exchangers is ram air in flight (when TAS


is greater than 300 knots) supplied through an
inlet (Figure 11-5) on the No. 1 engine pylon
leading edge. When the airplane is static or airborne and TAS is less than 300 knots, cooling
air for the heat exchangers is supplied by a turbofan assembly, and ram air from the No. 1 engine pylon inlet. Its operation will be described
later in this chapter. Additional cooling is
achieved by a turbocooler air cycle machine
operating in conjunction with HP and LP mechanical water separators.

Figure 11-5. Heat Exchanger Ram-Air Inlet

COMPONENTS
Heat Exchangers
Two two-pass air-to-air heat exchangers are enclosed in a common casing and are identified as
primary and main. The primary heat exchanger
reduces the temperature of the bleed air prior
to directing it to the turbofan and/or the ACM
compressor. The function of the main heat exchanger is to remove the heat of compression
induced by the ACM compressor prior to directing the air mass to the turbine of the ACM.

Turbofan
General
The turbofan uses the principle of energy
conversion to reduce air temperature without
appreciably affecting pressure. The unit is integral
with the heat exchangers. It consists of a fan and a
turbine mounted on opposite ends of a common
shaft. The sole function of the turbofan assembly

is to assist cooling when on the ground, or in


flight, in any one of the following configurations:
main landing gear extended, or slats extended, or
TAS less than 300 knots. An electropneumatic
brake terminates operation of the turbofan in
clean configuration flight when TAS is 300 knots
or greater. A bypass valve opens to bypass the
turbofan during clean configuration flight of 300
TAS or greater. The input signals for turbofan and
bypass valve control, received from landing gear
and slat position and from the ADCs (air data
computers) representing TAS, are processed by a
PCB and transmitted to the brake control valve
and to the bypass valve.

Figure 11-7. Heat Exchanger LowPressure Air Inlet

Operation
When the airplane is on the ground or in flight
with the main landing gear extended, or the
slats extended, or TAS less than 300 knots, the
turbofan brake solenoid control valve (Figure
11-6A) is deenergized and closed, isolating
bleed-air pressure from the brake. The brake assembly then vents to the atmosphere and is released. Hot bleed air is directed through the
primary heat exchanger, and since the turbofan
bypass valve is energized closed, the tempered
air is directed to the turbine of the turbofan. The
pneumatic energy is converted to rotary mechanical motion by the turbine and is used to
drive the integral fan. The low pressure created
by the fan opens a low-pressure door on the
lower side of the fuselage (Figure 11-7), permitting the fan to induce a large cooling airflow
across the heat exchangers and discharge it
through a grilled outlet (Figure 11-8) also
located on the lower side of the fuselage. The
cooling by heat transfer at the heat exchangers
and energy conversion by the turbine greatly
reduce bleed-air temperature.
The tempered air from the turbofan is directed
to the turbocooler for further cooling. This
condition prevails during ground operation
and after takeoff until the airplane is in a clean
configuration and TAS exceeds 300 knots
(Figure 11-6B). Then the PCB opens the bypass valve, creating a low resistance line which
permits the airflow to bypass the turbofan turbine, and energizes and opens the brake
solenoid control valve, admitting bleed-air

pressure from upstream and downstream of


the isolation valve, through check valves, to
apply the brake and terminate rotation of the
turbofan assembly. The cooling airflow for
the heat exchangers is now supplied by ram air
through the inlet of the leading edge of the No.
1 engine pylon.

Turbocooler
General
The turbocooler (Figure 11-9) is a two-wheel
turbocompressor. The single-stage turbine and
the single-stage compressor are mounted backto-back on a common rotor shaft. The
turbocooler operates in conjunction with the heat
exchangers and a high-pressure and a
low-pressure water separator to produce and
dry super-cooled air for conditioning in the
occupied areas.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

11-9

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Figure 11-9. Turbocooler

Operation
Hot bleed air from the crew and passenger
temperature regulating valves is tempered by
the primary heat exchanger. After passing
through the turbofan during ground operation, or during slow flight configuration
(Figure 11-10), or after bypassing the turbofan during normal clean configuration flight
operation (Figure 11-11), the bleed air is directed to the compressor of the turbocooler,
pressure is increased, and the air mass is directed through the main heat exchanger, which
tempers the air by transferring the heat of
compression to the cooling airflow passing

11-10

across the heat exchanger. The air is then directed through a high-pressure water separator to the turbocooler turbine, which converts
the pneumatic energy to rotary mechanical
motion and drives the turbocooler compressor,
while effecting both a temperature and a pressure decrease.
The outlet air from the turbine is very cold and
moisture laden. This cold air mass is directed
through a low-pressure water separator for
drying and is then supplied to a three-branch
duct. One branch supplies the crew and passenger cold air (gasper) ducts; the second and
third branches each supply jet pump-operated

Revision 4

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

mixing ducts and two-way ducts, through a


cold air pressure-regulating valve (PRV), to
supply the final conditioned air for the crew
and the passenger systems. The cold air PRV
is fully automatic to maintain the gasper duct
pressure at approximately 0.2 to 0.36 psi above
cabin pressure. The PRV is almost entirely
closed at high altitude since the requirement
for cold air is at a minimum, thus maintaining a slight positive pressure and flow in the
cold air (gasper) duct.
The efficiency of the turbocooler is determined by the positions of the passenger and
crew temperature control valves. When in a
maximum cooling mode, the major portion of
the bleed air is directed through the cold side
of the temperature control valves, and the turbocooler is at maximum efficiency. This efficiency is reduced as the temperature control
valves cycle toward heat; then the greater portion of the bleed air bypasses the turbocooler
and is directed to the passenger and crew mixing jet pumps.

Water Separators
The high-pressure and low-pressure after
separators (Figure 11-12) are conventional
swirl-action units; they remove sufficient
water from the air to maintain a relatively
comfortable humidity level in the occupied
areas. The water removed by the separators
is collected in sumps where it is exposed to
a jet pump operated by a motive flow supplied
by the turbine outlet. The jet pump sprays the
collected water across the heat exchangers,
increasing their cooling efficiency.

ANTI-ICING SYSTEM
Since the temperature drop across the turbocooler may cause freezing at the low-pressure
water separator, an automatic anti-icing system
is provided. The system consists of a temperature sensor, an electronic bridge, and a modulating anti-icing valve (Figure 11-10). The
temperature sensor is located at the water separator outlet. The anti-icing valve is in a hotair branch from the inlet of the primary heat

Revision 3.01

exchanger. When the water separator outlet


temperature drops to near the freezing point, the
signal transmitted to the bridge circuit modulates the anti-icing valve toward open, directing a volume of hot air into the cooling turbine
outlet, increasing the water separator inlet temperature and maintaining it above the freezing
point (approximately 37F [3C]). On aircraft
incorporating SB-131, a second electric valve
(turbine emergency anti-icing) is installed upstream of the original anti-icing valve. The
emergency anti-icing valve, when operated,
ensures emergency closing of the hot air flow
for turbine and LP water separator anti-icing,
in the case where the original anti-icing valve
is blocked in the open position. A pushbutton
light (ECU/AI), located on the lower portion of
the center instrument panel, allows closing of
the emergency anti-icing valve. The pushbutton light is illuminated amber when the valve
is closed.

OVERHEAT DETECTION
SYSTEM
The overheat detection system consists of a
sensor and an overheat detection channel in the
bleed-air overheat detection system. The sensor is located in the turbocooler compressor
outlet duct. When the duct temperature reaches
or exceeds the preset value of the overheat
detection channel (466F [233C]), or the
nose gear is downlocked and the bypass electric valve is not closed, a light labeled ECU
OVHT on the warning panel (Appendix B)
comes on. Illumination in respect to the nose
gear and valve position will be delayed by
four seconds. If an ECU overheat occurs on the
ground while the APU is supplying bleed air,
a signal to the APU ECU induces a shutdown
of the APU. In addition to the ECU OVHT
light, a magnetic indicator on the maintenance
panel will indicate electric bypass and brake
solenoid malfunctions. The cooling fan indicator changes color to red after a delay of 15
to 92 seconds, depending on the aircraft serial
number.

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
General
Separate conditioned air distribution systems
(Figure 11-13 on aircraft SNs 1 to 162 or Figure
11-13A for aircraft SNs 163 and subsequent)
are provided for the passenger and the crew systems. The ducts for each system consist of
conditioned air ducts and cold air ducts. Check
valves are installed in all ducts entering through
the rear pressure bulkhead.

Passenger Ducts
The passenger conditioned air ducts are routed
in the lower side of the left and right cabin consoles. These ducts are interconnected; in addition, they supply ducts which provide floor
heat, toilet heat, and warm air distribution for
flight control and engine control components

11-14

in the rear bulkhead area. Final conditioning


of this air supply is achieved by the passenger jet pump (Circle 4 in Figure 11-13), which
receives motive flow from a hot line which bypasses the cooling units. The passenger and
crew conditioned air ducts may be interconnected to allow either distribution system to
supply both ducts. The interconnect valve
on aircraft prior to SN 163 is controlled by a
lever (Figure 11-14) labeled COND with
NORMAL and TIED positions on the
copilots console.
Aircraft SN 163 and subsequent have an interconnect valve located on the right side of
FR 22 which enables crew and passenger airconditioning systems crossfeed should one
of them fail. This interconnect valve is normally closed by a manually controlled butterfly valve.

Crew Ducts
The crew conditioned air duct is routed along
the right side of the fuselage and supplies conditioned air to the entrance area; then it is
routed along the left and right sides of the
cockpit to supply air to the aft cockpit windows,
prior to SNs 116, to the footwarmer systems,
and for forward window defogging. Each pilot
controls the direction of air supply (for defogging and footwarmers) by levers (Figure 1115) located on the outboard side of the
respective instrument panels. A scribed white
line above the lever slot has up and down arrow
heads to determine the desired direction of
flow. This lever is a distributor control and
may be positioned at any point between the
two extremes.

duct is supplied directly from the ACM turbine


through the low-pressure water separator. An
additional branch from the ACM turbine routes
cold air through the gasper pressure regulator
(PRV) and divides into two ducts, which connect to the passenger and crew jet pumps and
two-way recirculating ducts. These ducts are
dual-function; when cooling demand is low, the
gasper PRV is closed, and the jet pumps induce
recirculation through the ducts and distribute
the recirculated air into the passenger and crew
conditioned air ducts while some cold air still
continues to flow through the gaspers. On the
other hand, when cooling demand is high, the
PRV is open, and cold air is supplied through
the recirculating ducts. The flappers at the outlet ends of these ducts are pressure- and/or
suction-operated as dictated by the cooling or
heating demands of the system.

EFIS Cooling
The EFIS components on the instrument panel
are cooled by an airflow from the crew gasper
duct, separately directed through flow limiters to the pilots and copilots EFIS units.

Battery Cooling (SB-125)


In addition to their ventilation system (see
Chapter 2, Electrical Power Systems), the
main batteries in the rear compartment can be
cooled on the ground when using the APU.
Cold air is supplied by a line picked off downstream of the LP water separator and is directly fed to the compartment through an
electric valve.
With the aircraft on the ground and the MASTER APU switch set to ON, the electric
valve is controlled by a COND BATT switch.
When the switch is selected to the ON position, the electric valve will open and illuminate an amber light representing the valve

The baggage compartment is conditioned


through a branch duct from the cockpit hot air
line (Figure 11-10). The system consists of a
venturi, an isolation valve, and a heat valve.
Control is achieved by a three-position switch
on the overhead switch panel (Figure 11-1) labeled BAG. The switch positions are labeled NORM, HEAT, and ISOL; an
is scribed across the word HEAT.
When the switch is at NORM, the supply and
isolation valves are open. Hot air is delivered
to the venturi, where it is mixed with ambient
air. The resulting mixture is distributed at
floor level. This flow exhausts into the cabin
through the isolation valve. Placing the switch
to the HEAT position closes the heating valve,
and flow to the baggage compartment is shut

off, but the compartment is still open to the


cabin through the isolation valve. When the
switch is in the ISOL position, both the isolation valve and the heating valve are closed,
and the baggage compartment is completely
isolated. A light labeled BAG ISOL on the
warning panel (Appendix B) will be on whenever the switch is at the ISOL position. Valve
position indication is also provided on the
maintenance panel.

Nose Cone Ventilation


The nose cone is ventilated on the ground by
an electrical blower. In-flight ventilation is
provided by cabin conditioned air through a normally open isolation valve (on airplanes prior
to SN 70); the valve is manually controlled by
a lever on the copilots console (Figure 11-14).
The nose cone is slightly pressurized during
flight to ensure positive ventilation. This operation will be described more fully in Chapter
12, Pressurization, in this training manual.

TEMPERATURE
CONTROL SYSTEMS
GENERAL
Separate temperature control systems are provided for the cockpit and cabin. The operation
of both is similar; any differences will be separately described.
The system components include separate dualregulating valves for the passenger and crew
systems, duct temperature sensors, area temperature sensors, and two electronic controllers. The system is operated from the
airplanes DC power system.

COMPONENTS
Sensors
Duct sensors for the passenger and crew systems provide inputs representing the duct temperature to the appropriate section of the
corresponding controller. Sensors with integral amplifiers are located in the cabin and

cockpit. The inputs from these sensors are


supplied to the appropriate section of the dual
controller and are used as anticipatory information, which prevents undershooting in the
system.

Controller
The temperature controller (Figure 11-16) is a
dual unit labeled PASSENGER and CREW.
It contains separate circuitry for passenger and
crew temperature control and is mounted on the
lower left side of the center instrument panel.
Each controller consists of a mode selector
switch with positions labeled AUTO and
MANUAL; the passenger mode selector has
an additional position labeled REMOTE to
permit transfer of cabin temperature control
to an optional control panel located in any desired position in the cabin. The crew mode selector operates in conjunction with a switch
labeled NORM and EMERG located on
the PRESSURIZATION control panel (Figure
11-17). This switch must be in the NORM position for normal operation of the passenger conditioning valve and crew temperature control.
The functions of this switch are described in detail in Chapter 12, Pressurization, in this
training manual.
When the mode selector switches are at the
AUTO position, the automatic temperature
control system is armed. Automatic temperature selection is achieved by a rotary (rheostat)
selector, which has approximately 180 of
movement between the 9 oclock and 3 oclock
positions. When the mode selector is at MAN-

Figure 11-16. Temperature Controller

11-18

UAL, the automatic temperature control system is inhibited, and the control is transferred
to the manual temperature control switch located below the automatic temperature selector. This switch has three positions: COLD,
HOT, and an unlabeled center position to
which it is spring-loaded. Holding this switch
to the COLD or HOT positions when the mode
selector is at MANUAL supplies a continuous output signal to the associated dual-temperature regulating valve.
Separate valve position indication is provided
for the passenger and crew temperature control
valves by indicators on the appropriate panel
sections. The indicators are operated from potentiometers on the valves. They are noncalibrated; the needle moves from the C (cold)
position on the left of the scale to the H (hot)
position on the extreme right. The indicators
provide valve position indication in both the
AUTO and MANUAL modes of operation. The
PASSENGER controller includes a temperature
gage calibrated in degrees Centigrade to provide indication of cabin temperature.

Temperature Control Valves


The temperature control valves for the passenger and crew system, though similar in design, differ in operation. Each assembly
consists of two butterfly valves, mechanically
linked, and operated in opposing direction by
a single motor. The motors receive inputs from
either the automatic or manual temperature
control systems of the associated controller.
In the AUTO mode, valve operation is limited

by PCBs (in the hot direction) to 55% of fully


hot. The hot and cold extremes can be achieved
in the MANUAL mode. However, following
preconditioning on the ground using MANUAL mode, the PCBs automatically cycle the
valves to 60% of fully hot when the mode selectors are returned to the AUTO positions, reducing air noise level in the cabin.
When the passenger temperature control valve
is at the fully hot position, its cold butterfly
valve is not fully closed; therefore, a volume
of air is allowed to pass through the ECU to
supply gasper air. The crew temperature control valve, in conjunction with the pressurization emergency switch, is used to supply an
emergency air source to the occupied areas.
This operation is described in detail in Chapter
12, Pressurization, of this training manual.
Each temperature control valve receives its
bleed-air supply from the associated air-conditioning valve; then, as determined by the hot
and cold butterfly valves in each temperature
control valve assembly, the air mass through
each valve is directed into two ducts; one supplies the hot-air flow to the associated mixing
jet pump (venturi) in the passenger and crew
distribution systems, and the other duct from
each temperature control valve supplies an air
mass to a common duct, which directs it
through the ECU assembly for cooling.

INDICATION
A light on the warning panel labeled CONDG
OVHT (Appendix B) comes on to indicate
that the temperature in either the passenger or
crew conditioned air duct is 95C or greater.
The signals to this light are supplied from thermal switches located in the passenger and crew
conditioned air duct.

OPERATION
In the automatic mode, the temperature control systems (Figure 11-18) operate on the
electronic bridge principle. This bridge has
three legs: one supplies the input representing
the actual duct temperature (from the duct
temperature sensor); the second supplies the

Revision 3

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

input representing the actual area temperature (from the passenger or crew temperature
sensor); and the third is the desired or selected
temperature which is the input signal from
the automatic temperature (rheostat) selector
resulting from crew selection. These signals
are compared by the bridge circuitry, and the
error is determined, which results in one of two
pulsating output signals: a positive (hot) or
negative (cold) signal to the appropriate valve
motor. The magnitude of the pulses is determined by the error difference; each pulse is
shorter than the preceding one until the bridge
circuit is again balanced. Once balanced, any
change in duct or area temperatures or repositioning of the automatic temperature selector results in a repeat performance.
Moving the mode selector to MANUAL completely inhibits the automatic temperature control system, and the temperature control valve
position is a sole function of the COLD and
HOT positions of the manual temperature selector switch. As long as the switch is held in
either position, the associated valve receives a
continuous signal in the cold or hot directions,
as selected. When using manual temperature
control, all changes should be made in small increments, allowing the system to stabilize between selections. Reference should also be made
to the associated valve position indicator.

NORMAL OPERATION
FLIGHT (HEATING)
During normal flight in the medium to high
power range, the bleed-air supply is as shown
in Figure 11-2. LP bleed air is supplied to the
manifold from the LP compressor of the No. 1
engine. The No. 3 engine supplies the HP/LP
mixed air from its compressors to the manifold,
as determined by the associated PRV. The No.
2 engine provides an HP/LP mixed air supply
to the manifold through the normally open isolation valve, in addition to a direct supply to the
passenger air-conditioning valve; both supplies are as dictated by the No. 2 engine PRV.
The air from the manifold is directed to the
crew air-conditioning valve.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

The passenger and crew air-conditioning


valves are as shown in Figure 11-11 since it
is assumed that the PASSENGER and CREW
switches (Figure 11-1) are at either the AUTO
or the ON positions. The demand for heating as determined by the temperature controllers positions the passenger and crew
temperature control valves so that the greater
volume of bleed air is passing through the hot
port of the valves and is supplied directly to the
respective jet pumps. The remaining flow
passes through the cold ports of the valves into
a common duct. This airflow is directed through
the primary heat exchanger and through the
open turbofan bypass valve (clean flight condition and TAS greater than 300 knots) to the
turbocooler turbine. The resulting outlet temperature from the turbine is a function of turbocooler efficiency at any given time.
This airflow is directed to the crew and passenger gaspers. Figure 11-19 depicts the final
conditioning and distribution in the occupied
areas. The low pressure at the jet pumps induces recirculation through the two-way ducts,
determining the conditioned air temperature
in the passenger and crew conditioned air
ducts. The gasper airflow is determined by
the gasper PRV.

temperature control valves through their


normally open air-conditioning valves. Figure
11-10 depicts the conditioning process and
assumes that TAS is less than 300 knots; therefore, the turbofan brake is off, and the bypass
valve is closed. The temperature control valves
are positioned by their controllers so that the
major volume of bleed air is passing through
the cold ports into the common duct to the
primary heat exchanger. Since the bypass valve
is closed, the turbofan is operating at maximum
efficiency, resulting in a large temperature
drop across the unit, which directs the bleed
air to the turbocooler compressor, the main
heat exchanger, and the turbocooler turbine.
The turbocooler is operating at maximum efficiency, resulting in a super-cooled air outlet. The water separator anti-icing valve will
modulate toward open in response to the temperature sensor downstream of the water separator. The warm air bled into the turbine
scroll prevents ice formation at the water separator. The hot air which passes through the
hot ports of the temperature control valves
induces mixing at the jet pumps, resulting in
the distribution depicted in Figure 11-20. Since
there is a high demand for cooling, the gasper
PRV is open, the high airflow pressurizes the
two-way recirculating ducts, and the flapper
valves close, resulting in a cold airflow through
these ducts as well as through the gasper ducts.

NORMAL OPERATION
FLIGHT (COOLING)
Operation in the lower altitude range in clean
configuration flight increase the demand for
cooling rather than heating; in addition, meteorological conditions may require the use of
surface anti-icing systems. Under such
conditions the bleed-air supply may be as
shown in Figure 11-3. All engines in this case
are supplying HP/LP mixed air to the manifold;
in addition, the No. 2 engine continues a direct supply to the passenger air-conditioning
valve. The bleed-air flow is dictated by the No.
2 and No. 3 engine PRVs and the associated
LP duct temperature sensors, or, in the case of
the No. 1 engine, by its LP duct temperature
sensor and HP valve. The air for the occupied
areas is supplied to the passenger and crew

GROUND OPERATION
Except for the air source, ground and flight operation of the air-conditioning system is similar. Figure 11-4 depicts ground operation
with the APU running and supplying bleed
air. The APU bleed-air supply is a function of
the APU bleed-air valve, as determined by the
APU switch on the BLEED AIR section of
the overhead switch panel (Figure 11-1) and
proximity switches in each power lever quadrant. In addition, the valve modulates under the
influence of the APU ECU signals initiated by
T 5 inputs to the ECU. The APU bleed-air valve
closes when any power lever is advanced to or
beyond 54 PLA, whether or not the engine is
running. An ECU overheat causes the APU to
automatically shut down.
The APU bleed air is supplied directly to the
passenger air-conditioning valve and to the
crew air-conditioning valve through the normally open isolation valve. From this point
on, the operation of the air conditioning is as
described for slow or dirty configuration
flight in Figure 11-10, in conjunction with
Figures 11-19 and 11-20.

LIMITATIONS
All limitations contained in the AFM pertaining to the air-conditioning system and related
systems are binding under law, and they must
be observed regardless of the type of operation.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the pressurization system of the Falcon 900 series airplanes. All
values, relative to pressure and flow rates, are used only for their illustrative meanings.
Actual values must be obtained from the approved manuals and publications issued
with the airplane.

GENERAL
Air conditioning and pressurization are synonymous terms. The term air conditioning applies to the regulated inflow of air to the
occupied areas, its conditioning, and its distribution.
Pressurization, on the other hand, relates to the
outflow of air from the occupied areas at precise rates which will achieve and maintain
programmed or selected altitudes and rates of

pressure change in the cabin throughout the operating envelope of the airplane.

PRESSURIZED AREAS
The pressurized areas of the Falcon 900 (Figure
12-1) are the occupied areas, the baggage compartment, and the nose cone.

AIR SOURCES
A normal and an emergency air source are
used for pressurization. The normal source of
air is supplied by the LP compressors of the
three engines, automatically supplemented as
required by HP bleed air. For more information on the normal air sources see Chapter 9,
P n e u m a t i c s a n d C h a p t e r 1 1 , A i r
Conditioning, in this training manual.
An emergency source of air is required if the
ECU malfunctions. This airflow is controlled
by a two-position switch on the emergency
pressurization control panel (Figure 12-2).
The switch positions are labeled NORM
and EMERG. Moving this switch to the
EMERG position simultaneously closes the
cabin air-conditioning valve, drives the cockpit temperature control valve to the fully hot
position, and arms the cockpit manual temperature control switch. Airflow to the ECU
is now shut off.

Figure 12-3 depicts the emergency pressurization air source. The cabin air-conditioning
valve is closed; the cold port of the cockpit
temperature control valve is also closed, while
its hot port is fully open. Hot bleed air is directed to the cockpit recirculating jet pump.
The only conditioning achieved is from the
mixing of ambient cabin air with the bleed air
by the jet pump. Temperature control at the
higher altitudes may not present a problem;
however, when altitude is reduced, temperature will increase in the occupied areas and
may be controlled somewhat by using the
COLD position of the cockpit manual temperature control switch. However, this will
also reduce the airflow entering the occupied
areas and consequently affect pressurization.

The Falcon 900 incorporates a cabin pressurization system capable of operating in automatic or manual modes. In the automatic
mode the system is controlled by a computer,
preprogrammed to provide for automatic or
semiautomatic operating modes. The system
is variable isobaric and automatically controls cabin rates of change within the complete
isobaric range. The normal operating differential is automatically limited to 9.3 psi for

any isobaric range. The maximum positive


differential is also automatically limited to 9.6
psi (662 mb). Negative pressure in the pressurized area is prevented by a low differential limit of 0.29 psi (20 mb). In case of loss
of inflow air the maximum cabin altitude is
limited to approximately 14,500 feet. A 100%
redundancy is incorporated for all of these
safety features. The manual pressurization
control system is completely independent of
electrical power.

destination or landing field elevation to be set


by the associated switch, within the range
of 1,500 to +14,000 feet.
The two-position switch on the lower right of
the face is labeled mb (millibars) and in. Hg
(inches of mercury) and is used to select the desired digital display of field barometric pressure in the QNH window. The three-position
switch on the lower left of the face sets the
field barometric pressure in the QNH display.

Figure 12-4. Automatic Controller

The face of the automatic controller has two


liquid crystal displays (LCD): one labeled
LAND ELV and the other QNH. A threeposition mode select switch on the upper right
of the face is labeled PROG (program), FL
(flight level), and LDG (landing) and is
used to select the automatic and semiautomatic modes, in conjunction with a threeposition switch on the upper left of the face.
The switch has + and positions and is spring
loaded to the center position. When the mode
select switch is at PROG, the associated
switch will change the digital display in increasing or decreasing increments when held
at the + or positions. The digital display
change in response to switch selection begins
at a slow rate and then increases in proportion
to the time the switch is held.
For ease of display setting, move the switch
intermittently in the desired direction. Since
the mode select switch is at the PROG position, the digital display indicates the elevation
of the destination field. The altitude range is
from 1,500 to +8,000 feet. When the mode
select switch is at the FL position, the associated switch is used to set the airplanes
flight planned (flight level) altitude in the digital display. The altitude range is from FL 000
to FL 500. Moving the mode select switch
from the FL to LDG position will permit the
12-4

A push-button switch labeled TEST on the


lower center of the face is used to test the validity of the selected operating mode. Setting
the mode select switch to PROG or LDG and
pushing the TEST switch will display 18,800
in the altitude display window. In the FL mode
the test display will be FL 880, simultaneously the QNH display will be 88.88 in the mb
or in. Hg window in all three modes. The test
system can be used on the ground only since
it is inhibited by the airborne position of the
landing gear touchdown system. Should a failure be detected in the PROG mode, the system
must be retested in the FL and LDG modes. If
the test is now valid the airplane may be flown
using these two modes only.
The display windows of the automatic controller going blank during flight indicate a
malfunction of the automatic and semiautomatic modes.

NOTE
The LAND ELV label on the automatic controller illuminates when
PROG or LDG modes are selected,
but it will not illuminate when FL
mode is selected.

NOTE
The switch for the altitude display
changes it in increments of 100 feet between 1,500 and +8,000 feet when
the PROG mode is selected, 100 feet
between 1,500 and +14,000 feet when
the LDG mode is selected, and in increments of 10 feet between FL 000
and FL 500 when FL mode is selected.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

NOTE
The switch for the QNH display
changes it in increments of 0.01 in.
Hg between 28.00 and 31.00 in. Hg
when in. Hg is selected, and in increments of 1 mbar between 950 and
1,050 mb when mb is selected.

The automatic controller senses three parameters in the PROG mode: absolute cabin pressure, airplane altitude, and airplane rate of
change. The cabin pressure is sensed through
a port on the body of the unit. Altitude and rate
of change information is supplied from ADC
1 and ADC 2. The preprogrammed function is
inhibited in the FL and LDG modes, and the
system then operates from the only available
parameter, absolute cabin pressure.
In the PROG mode the automatic controller is
constantly monitoring the actual cabin altitude,
the destination field elevation, the landing
gear position, power lever position, and rates
of climb and descent, comparing these values
in the computers memory, and then producing output signals which ensure that the cabin
altitude will approach the theoretical cabin
altitude at a theoretical rate which will always remain within the established limits of
+650 feet per minute in climb and 450 feet
per minute in descent (Figure 12-4A).
The system will automatically maintain the
lowest possible cabin altitude relative to the
airplanes altitude and cabin pressure differential. Rates of pressure change will automatically be maintained as low as possible
for all flight profiles and will always remain
within the programmed limits.
The system also has the capability of initiating
a prepressurization program during takeoff,
permitting a smooth transition to the programmed profile after takeoff. Programmed
depressurization occurs after landing.

The FL mode is used when malfunctions occur


in the PROG mode such as an invalid test indication. The flight level altitude is inserted
into the controller which will then maintain the
minimum cabin altitude relative to the flight
level and cabin differential pressure.
The pilot must ensure that the programmed
flight level is not exceeded since the differential system will assume control and rates of
pressure change will then be proportionate to
the airplane rates. When descent is initiated,
the pilot must enter the landing field altitude
and set the QNH to the reported value.

NOTE
The landing field elevation to be inserted into the controller is actual
field. The cabin will depressurize at
a preprogrammed rate following
touchdown.

CAUTION
When operating in the FL mode, it is
important to program the system for
the LDG mode at a point in the descent which will permit the cabin
sufficient time to descend to 300 feet
below landing field elevation within
the maximum descent rate limits.
The LDG mode can be used after FL
mode selection to bring cabin altitude
equal to landing field altitude by setting the mode selector to LDG and
displaying the landing field altitude
o n t h e L A N D E LV d i s p l a y a n d
setting the QNH. LDG mode should
be used for all takeoff and landings
above 8,000 pressure altitude.

The PROG mode is selected for all flight conditions except when an invalid test is indicated
in the PROG mode prior to takeoff.

Emergency
Pressurization Control
The emergency pressurization control panel
(Figure 12-2) includes a two-position mode selector switch labeled AUTO and MAN, a
two-position air source selector switch labeled NORM and EMERG, a two-position
guarded switch labeled DUMP, and a rotary
manual controller labeled DN and UP.
With the mode selector switch at AUTO, the
air source selector switch at NORM, the
DUMP switch at the guarded position, and
the manual controller rotated (counterclockwise) to the DN position, the pressurization
system is preset for automatic operation.

Manual Controller
Placing the mode selector switch to the MAN
position inhibits automatic operation. A cabin
rate of descent will also be indicated on the
triple indicator. The manual controller permits the pilot to control the rate of climb, up
to a maximum of +1,500 feet per minute when
rotated to the UP position or, +2,500 feet per
minute when moved beyond the UP position
to the hard stop. The maximum rate of descent is a preset value of 1,500 feet per minute
when the manual controller is set to the DN position. A constant cabin pressure may be
achieved by adjusting the manual controller
until the cabin rate indicator stabilizes at 0.

CAUTION
The manual controller must be at the
DN position when operating in the
PROG, FL, or LDG modes. If it is removed out of the DN position while
operating in any of these modes, it
will override the selected mode and
induce a rate of climb in the cabin.

12-6

Main Outflow Valve


The main outflow valve is an electropneumatic poppet valve (Figure12-5) mounted on
the rear pressure bulkhead. The valve consists of a control chamber, a cabin pressure or
actuator chamber and is separated by a flexible diaphragm connected to the poppet valve.
A spring in the control chamber determines a
fail-safe closed position for the poppet.
The pressure in the control chamber is determined by a quadrant operated by a torque
motor in response to output signals from the
automatic controller. The quadrant alternately
opens two nozzles: one admits cabin pressure
to the control chamber, moving the poppet toward close, and the other nozzle connects the
control chamber to the control pressure line,
reducing control pressure and inducing the
poppet toward open.
The main outflow valve control chamber also
includes a cabin altitude limiter and a relief
valve. The function of the main outflow valve
is to operate in response to signals from the
automatic controller and meter air out of the
cabin at a rate which will maintain the programmed cabin altitude and limit the rates of
climb and descent in response to the automatic controller.

Emergency Outflow Valve


The emergency outflow (Figure 12-5) is similar in design and operation to the main outflow
valve. It is normally pneumatically operated,
but it does have a solenoid valve to induce rapid
closing for takeoff. Pneumatic operation is
based on the differential between control pressure and cabin pressure as determined by a
pneumatic relay.
The emergency outflow valve also includes an
altitude limiter valve and a relief valve.

Jet Pump
A jet pump supplied with a motive flow from a
line supplied by No. 1 and No. 2 engines HP
bleed-air lines, or from the APU bleed air when
weight on wheels, is used to create a constant
negative pressure of .29 psi (20mb). This negative pressure is used to determine operation of
the main and emergency outflow valves during
automatic or emergency operation and during
manual control of the pressurization system.

INDICATION AND WARNING


Cabin altitude, cabin/ambient pressure differential, and cabin pressure rate of change are
all indicated on a triple-scale gage (Figure
12-6) located on the lower right side of the center instrument panel. The cabin altitude scale
is calibrated in feet from 1,000 to +50,000.
The scale is color-coded amber between 8,000
and 10,000 and red above 10,000. The altitude
sweep needle is labeled ALT.
The differential pressure scale is calibrated in
psi from 1 to +40. It is color-coded amber between 9.4 and 9.7 and red between 9.7 and 10.
An open sweep needle with an inward facing
pointer indicates the prevailing differential.

OPERATION
General
Operation of the pressurization system will be
described in three modes: auto mode ground,
auto mode flight, and manual mode flight.
During the preflight checklist the crew has confirmed that the manual controller is at the (normal/green) DN position, the mode electro
switch is at AUTO, the air source selector switch
is at NORM, and the DUMP switch is in the
guarded position (Figure 12-2).

Figure 12-6. Triple Indicator

A cabin pressure rate-of-change scale is located on the left side of the dial. It is calibrated
in feet per minute times 1,000 from 0 to 2, UP
and DN. The prevailing rate is indicated by a
needle.
A light labeled CABIN (Appendix B) on the
warning panel will come on in conjunction
with a continuous synthetic voice (CABIN)
either when the airplane is weight on wheels and
the TEST switch on the automatic controller is
pushed or when the airplane is in flight in any
pressurization mode and cabin altitude exceeds
10,000 feet. The aural warning may be silenced
by the HORN SIL switch on the center pedestal
(Figure 12-7).

The flight planned landing field elevation is entered in the automatic controller and displayed

and the LCDs react as explained earlier, verifying the validity of the system for full automatic operation (Figure 12-4). The engines are
running, the HP 1, PRV 2, and PRV 3 switches
are set at auto, the PASSENGER and CREW airconditioning switches are at the AUTO positions
(Figure 12-8), and the power levers are at idle.

Advancing the power levers to takeoff power


with weight on wheels will complete circuits
to rapidly close the cabin and cockpit airconditioning valves, isolating all bleed air
from the occupied areas. The HP1 valve will
be closed; the PRV2 and PRV3 valves will
also close for approximately 18 seconds.
Simultaneously, the master controller will
transmit an output signal to the main outflow
valve torque motor, which will increase control pressure and close the valve. A circuit is
also completed to the solenoid valve on the
emergency outflow valve. The energized
solenoid admits cabin pressure to the control
chamber of the emergency outflow valve for
rapid closing.
Figure 12-9 depicts pressurization in the auto
mode ground configuration. Bleed air is off and
the cabin is sealed until after lift-off.

Auto Mode Flight


When the landing gear proximity switches assume the flight position, circuits are completed to slowly open the cabin and cockpit
air-conditioning valves, permitting airflow to
the occupied areas. The automatic controller
assumes the PROG mode (Figure 12-10) . Its
reaction will be determined by one of the following conditions.
If takeoff field elevation is higher than the
programmed landing field elevation, the output from the auto controller will position the
torque motor so that the cabin pressure jet is
open and the control pressure jet is closed.
Control pressure will increase, inducing the
outflow valve toward closed, and cabin pressure will increase at a programmed rate until
it is equal to the programmed landing field elevation.
If the takeoff field elevation is below that of
the programmed landing field, the torque
motors response to the controller signals will
close the cabin pressure jet and open the control pressure jet to the low pressure of the jet
pump. The decreasing control pressure will increase the outflow valve opening and increase

Revision 2

cabin altitude at a controlled rate until it


reaches the programmed value. Consequently,
the minimum cabin altitude will be maintained
throughout the flight relative to airplane altitude, the landing field altitude, and cabin/ambient differential.
No further action is required of the crew
throughout the flight.
Before landing the barometric correction value
(QNH) is to be selected.
When the airplane touches down and with the
power levers at idle, the automatic controller
will initiate the controlled depressurization
mode, and the cabin will climb to field elevation at a maximum rate of +650 feet per minute.

NOTE
To ensure against any pressure surges
in the cabin and baggage compartments, flaps are installed on the cabin
and baggage compartment doors.
These flaps are mechanically connected to the operating mechanisms
of the respective doors. During door
opening the associated flap opens
and equalizes the compartment and
ambient pressures.

Referring to Figure 12-10, the negative pressure is determined by jet pump or venturi action and maintained relatively constant at
approximately .29 psi.
The control pressure in the control chamber of
the main outflow valve is constantly modified
by the command signals from the automatic controller. When any changes occur in cabin pressure as a result of power changes or any other
cause, the controller will respond and position
the torque motor to either admit cabin pressure
through the cabin pressure jet or shut off the
cabin pressure jet and open the negative pressure
jet, thus increasing or decreasing control pressure. The poppet valve will respond accordingly
by increasing or decreasing the outflow to the
atmosphere.

Since the control chambers of both outflow


valves are interconnected, any change in control pressure in the main valve control chamber will also be reflected in the control
chamber of the emergency outflow valve, and,
consequently, it remains slaved to the main outflow valve.
If the pressurization test prior to takeoff reveals
a malfunctioning PROG mode, the system
must be tested in the FL and LDG modes. If
these tests are valid, the crew must insert the
flight level information into the controller
computer. The ground prepressurization mode
will be inoperative.
After takeoff the FL mode will achieve and
maintain the minimum lowest cabin altitude
relative to the flight planned airplane altitude
of the isobaric range selected; for example, if
the flight planned altitude is 25,300 feet, the
FL program will maintain a sea level cabin at
a differential of 9.3 psi. However, if this flight
planned altitude is exceeded, the system will
automatically transition to a new isobaric
range, and cabin altitude will increase at a
programmed rate. When the airplane reaches
50,000 feet (which is the isobaric limit of the
system), the cabin altitude will be approximately 8,000 feet at a differential of 9.3 psi.
If the airplane altitude exceeds 50,000 feet, the
pressurization system will transition to differential control and maintain 9.3 psid. As
descent is initiated, the pilot must insert the
landing field elevation into the controller computer and also insert the reported QNH. No further selections are necessary through the
descent and landing.
When the airplane touches down and with the
power levers at idle, the automatic controller
will initiate the controlled depressurization
mode, and the cabin will climb to field elevation at a maximum rate of 650 feet per minute.
If loss of electrical power or other malfunctions occur, rendering the PROG, FL, and
LDG modes inoperative, a descent rate of
1,000 feet per minute will be indicated on the
triple indicator. The crew must now resort to

12-12

manual mode control by moving the mode selector switch to MAN position and then rotating the manual controller clockwise, gently,
until the rate needle returns to 0.

Manual Mode Flight


Figure 12-11 depicts manual mode control.
When the mode selector is moved to manual,
all electrical power is removed from the controller. The manual controller is a three-port metering valve. One port is connected to cabin
pressure, the second port is connected to the jet
pump, and the third port is connected to a pneumatic relay on the emergency outflow valve.
The control pressure signal to the pneumatic
relay is determined by the position of the manual control knob. As the control knob is turned
clockwise, the control pressure in the pneumatic relay is being reduced, and the relay
bellows is contracting under the influence of
cabin pressure. The contracting bellows opens
a metering port, exposing the control chamber of the emergency outflow valve to the low
pressure of the jet pump.
As control pressure decreases, the poppet
valve is moved toward open by cabin pressure, increasing the outflow to the atmosphere.
The rates of cabin pressure change are directly proportionate to the rate and distance
the control knob is moved; therefore, the control knob should be moved slowly and in small
increments to avoid the discomfort produced
by rapid and/or large pressure changes.

CAUTION
When operating on manual pressurization control, it is imperative to
monitor the system by reference to
the triple indicator. Cabin altitudes
and rates of change must be periodically adjusted, especially during descent. An adequate buffer must be
maintained between cabin and airplane altitudes to prevent rapid descent rates in the cabin.

As explained earlier the main outflow valve is


slaved to the emergency outflow valve during
manual mode operation. A flow limiter in the
slaving line will maintain the integrity of the
emergency valve if the slaving line ruptures.
The flow limiter also dampens any surges from
affecting both valves.

PROTECTION
The protection systems consist of normal differential limiting, maximum differential limiting, negative differential prevention, and
cabin altitude limiting. All except the normal
differential limiting are incorporated in each
outflow valve (Figure 12-10), and each is independent of the other.
The normal differential limit of 9.3 psi is a
function of the PROG mode in the controller
computer. This limit is automatically maintained during all normal flight conducted in
the PROG mode.
The maximum differential of 9.6 psi is a function of a relief valve in each outflow valve. It
consists of a bellows-operated valve. The bellows is exposed internally to cabin pressure and
externally to static atmosphere. When the differential between cabin pressure and static
atmosphere reaches or exceeds 9.6 psi, the
bellows expands, opening the valve and connecting the control chamber to the atmosphere.
The drop in control pressure induces the poppet toward open, increasing the cabin airflow
to the atmosphere, thus limiting the differential to 9.6 psi.
Each outflow valve includes an altitude limiter,
consisting of a valve connected to a sealed bellows evacuated to respond to a pressure equivalent to approximately 14,500 feet. The bellows
is exposed externally to cabin pressure. If airflow to the cabin is shut off or decreases to a point
at which cabin altitude increases, the bellows begins to expand and opens the valve, permitting
cabin air to enter the outflow valve control chamber, equalizing the pressure across the diaphragm, and the spring force will close the
poppet. This safety feature can be overridden
only by the low differential limiter.

12-14

The low differential limiter protects the structure from the effects of negative differential
pressure. This condition will occur, for example, if the airplanes rate of descent exceeds the cabin rate of change. The actuator
chamber of each outflow valve is exposed to
cabin pressure which enters through a vented
orifice. This pressure is acting upward on the
main diaphragm and downward on the balance diaphragm. The lower side of the balance
diaphragm is exposed to atmospheric pressure; consequently, if cabin pressure approaches to within 0.29 psid of atmospheric
pressure, the balance diaphragm will be pushed
upward, opening the poppet, thus equalizing
cabin and atmospheric pressures. The cabin
will now descend at the same rate as the airplane with accompanying personal discomfort. To ensure an immediate response to this
condition, a one-way check valve on each outflow control chamber will be unseated, permitting control pressure to escape to the cabin.

DEPRESSURIZATION
The airplane may be depressurized rapidly,
when conditions warrant it, by moving the red
guarded switch on the emergency pressurization control panel (Figure 12-2) to the DUMP
position. Power will be removed from the automatic controller and simultaneously applied
to the torque motor of the main outflow valve.
The torque motor will position the quadrant
to close the cabin pressure inlet jet to the control chamber of the main outflow valve and
open the control pressure jet to the jet pump
low pressure. Control pressure will dissipate
rapidly, and the poppet valve will open fully.
Since the emergency outflow valve is slaved
to the main valve, it will also go fully open,
and rapid decompression will occur. The maximum cabin altitude control valve will limit the
cabin altitude to 14,500 feet if the dump switch
is used.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

WARNING
Since rapid decompression may
cause severe discomfort, it should
not be selected until the cabin/ambient differential is first reduced, unless a serious emergency dictates
otherwise.

BAGGAGE
COMPARTMENT
PRESSURIZATION

When the BAG switch is at the NORM position, the baggage compartment heat and isolation valves are both open, and pressurization
is controlled according to the mode selected.
Placing the BAG switch at the X
HEAT position
will close the heat valve and shut off the supply of heating air to the baggage compartment. Pressurization will continue through
the open isolation valve.
If the switch is moved to the ISOL position,
the heat valve and isolation will both close, and
the baggage compartment is completely isolated.

PROTECTION
GENERAL
The baggage compartment located aft of the
passenger compartment is normally pressurized and maintained at approximately the same
differential as the occupied areas. However,
it can be isolated completely from the pressurization system.

AIR SOURCES
The baggage compartment has two electrically controlled valves: one is a normally open
isolation valve which connects the passenger
cabin to the baggage compartment for pressurization, and the other, also normally open,
supplies air from the cockpit hot air line to a
mixing jet pump for baggage compartment
heating; therefore, there are two air supplies
to the baggage compartment.

CONTROL
Pressurization and heating for the baggage
compartment is controlled by a three-position
switch located on the BLEED AIR section of
the overhead switch panel (Figure 12-8). The
switch is labeled BAG, and the positions
are labeled NORM, HEAT, and ISOL.
An x is scribed across the HEAT label.

Revision 2

Positive and negative pressure relief valves are


installed in the baggage compartment. If the
heat valve fails to close when the BAG switch
is moved to ISOL, the positive pressure relief
valves will limit the baggage compartmentto-cabin pressure differential to 0.07 psi.
When the baggage compartment is isolated,
negative pressure during descent is prevented
by the negative pressure-relief valves, which
will open at 0.28 psi, connecting the compartment to the atmosphere.

INDICATION
A light on the warning panel labeled BAG
ISOL (Appendix B) will come on when the
BAG switch is in the ISOL (down) position and
the isolation valve reaches the fully closed
position.
The operation of the electric heating and isolation valves can also be monitored on the
maintenance test panel.

is to ensure a positive airflow through the nose


cone for cooling of the installed electronic
equipment.

GENERAL

There are two air sources: one supplied by a


fan for ventilation when on the ground and during low-altitude flight, and the other supplied
from the cabin pressurization system to provide for positive ventilation through pressurization at normal flight altitude.

The nose cone is ventilated when the airplane


is on the ground and during low-altitude flight.
It is pressurized during normal flight. The
transition from ventilation to pressurization
and vise versa is entirely automatic. The function of the ventilation/pressurization system

CONTROL
The ventilating air source is induced into the
lower side of the nose cone by a fan powered
directly from the DC system, through a relay
controlled by a proximity switch. This air
flows upward through the electronic equipment
and exhausts through a standpipe into the nose
wheel well and then through louvers to the
atmosphere.
The exhaust standpipe incorporates a butterfly valve operated by a pneumatic actuator
and a spring. Cabin pressure is applied to the
actuator piston and is opposed by the spring
and nose cone pressure. When cabin/atmosphere differential pressure is low, such as on
the ground or during low-altitude flight, the
spring maintains the exhaust butterfly fully
open, and a probe on the butterfly shaft causes
the proximity switch to conduct, closing the
blower relay and powering the blower.
The cabin airflow to the nose cone is controlled by a mechanically operated, normally
open isolation valve (installed on aircraft SNs
prior to 70). The valve is controlled by a twoposition lever (Figure 12-13) on the copilots
console. The quadrant slot is labeled NORM
and CLOSED. The supply line directs the air
to the lower portion of the cone and incorporates a flow limiter to protect the pressurized
cabin in case of radome rupture.
After takeoff and when cabin/atmosphere differential is between 1.74 and 2.9 psi, the differential across the pneumatic actuator begins
to close the exhaust butterfly, shutting down
the fan, restricting the outflow, and increasing nose cone pressure. This process will continue until the butterfly is fully closed at a
cabin/atmosphere differential of 3.04 to 4.35
psi. Nose cone/ambient differential is now approximately 0.72 psi. The only airflow from
the nose cone is through calibrated holes in the
butterfly valve. One of these holes is adjustable
by mechanics to calibrate the nose cone differential pressure.

Revision 3

Figure 12-13. Nose Cone Isolation


Valve Lever
(SNs Prior to 70)

PROTECTION
A pressure-relief valve installed in the nose
cone bulkhead provides structural protection
in case the calibrated holes become clogged.
This valve will operate when the nose cone/ambient differential reaches 1.37 psi.

INDICATION
The temperature in the nose cone compartment is sensed by a thermal switch, which
turns on the NOSE CONE OVHT (70C) light
on the warning panel. This light may indicate
lack of ventilation in the nose cone.

OPERATION
Figure 12-14 depicts the nose cone ventilation/pressurization system in a normal flight
operating mode. The exhaust butterfly is fully
closed, and airflow is metered through the
calibrated holes in the butterfly. A flapper
valve on the fan inlet air duct closes when the
fan is shut down and is maintained closed by
nose cone pressure.

CHAPTER 13
HYDRAULIC POWER SYSTEMS

INTRODUCTION

The Falcon 900 hydraulic systems consist of two independent supply and distribution
systems which cannot be interconnected and an auxiliary system. The systems use hydraulic fluid specification MIL-H-5606 (NATO codes H515 or H520).

GENERAL
Main hydraulic power is supplied by three selfregulating pumps driven by the corresponding
engine accessory gearbox. Each pump delivers
a maximum flow of 7.6 U.S. gpm (28.65 1/min)
and provides a regulated pressure output of
2,987 psi (200 3.5 bars), at zero flow.
An electric motor-driven pump, referred to as the
standby pump, is normally used to provide
standby (auxiliary) pressure to the No. 2 system
should the engine-driven pump fail. It can also
be used for testing either system on the ground.

Revision 3

Selection of this mode is made manually with a


selector located in the rear compartment.
The hydraulic system components are mounted
on the hydraulic racks in the rear compartment.
System No. 1 components are located on the
left side, system No. 2 and standby components
on the right side.
External hydraulic cart connections are provided for ground checks and maintenance testing of each system.

Figure 13-1 presents a block diagram of hydraulic power distribution.

DESCRIPTION OF MAIN
COMPONENTS
PRESSURIZED BOOTSTRAP
RESERVOIRS
Each system has its own reservoir. The capacity of the No. 1 system reservoir is 2.38 U.S.
gallons (9 liters); the capacity of the No. 2 system reservoir is 1.58 U.S. gallons (6 liters).
Figure 13-2 shows a typical reservoir.
Each reservoir is pressurized by its corresponding hydraulic system. System pressure
acting on a small piston that is mechanically connected to a larger (pressurization) piston imposes
pressure on the fluid in the reservoir. The difference in piston diameters results in a low pressure of approximately 40 psi imposed on the
reservoir fluid. Reservoir overpressurization is
prevented by a relief valve. Entrapped air is
automatically purged through a venting valve.
Each reservoir features a direct-reading fluid
level indicator with two scales labeled PRESSURIZED and UNPRESSURIZED (Figure
13-3).
Each scale includes two red ranges for low and
excessive fluid, and a green range optimum
level at a temperature between 40 and 90 C
when the system has been unpressurized for several hours.
A quantity transmitter electrically actuates a
HYDR QTY indicator in the cockpit.

13-2

Reservoir Servicing
Servicing (topping up) the hydraulic reservoirs
ensures the correct level of fluid for proper
system operation. Prior to reservoir servicing,
the applicable hydraulic system must be
depressurized and the following conditions
complied with.

No. 1 System
1. Gear down and locked, main gear doors
closed
2. Slats retracted
3. Reservoir depressurizeddepress the
red button on the pressure-holding
valve (Figure 13-4). Keep reservoir depressurized throughout filling.
4. Check the nitrogen charge of the accumulators:
a. System accumulator1,500 psi
(103.5 bars)
b. Pressure-holding accumulator
1,700 psi (117 bars)

No. 2 System
1. Slats and airbrakes retracted
2. Reservoir depressurized (same as step 3
for No. 1 system).
3. Check the nitrogen charge of the system
and pressure-holding accumulators (same
as step 4 for No. 1 system).
4. Check the nitrogen charge of the other
system accumulators:
a. Thrust reverser accumulator1,500
psi (103.5 bars)
b. Parking brake accumulator1,000
psi (70 bars)
c. Airbrake pressure-holding accumulator1,000 psi (70 bars) or 500 psi
(35 bars) (check applicability)

Loosen the locknut on the filling valve (Figure


13-5), and connect a hydraulic servicing unit
(Risbridger or equivalent) serviced with MILH-5606 or AIR 3520B hydraulic fluid.
Pump fluid into the reservoir until 20 C (full)
is read on the UNPRESSURIZED scale of the
reservoir fluid level indicator and the HYDR
QTY indicator in the cockpit indicates full.
Close and tighten the locknut, and disconnect
the servicing unit. Activate the standby pump
to pressurize the reservoir, and then shut it off
and recheck the fluid level. Check that the indicator in the cockpit indicates the proper level.

ENGINE-DRIVEN PUMPS
The self-regulating, piston-type pumps are
driven by the accessory gearbox of the corresponding engine. They provide a regulated
output pressure ranging from 2,987 psi (206
bars) for the no-flow condition to 2,900 psi
(200 bars) at the maximum flow rate of 7.6 U.S.
gpm (28.65 1/min). The pumps are not controlled from the cockpit; however, a shear section in the pump drive shaft protects the engine
in the event of pump seizure.

Pump Operation
Rotation of the barrel (Figure 13-6) displaces
the sliding pistons, which draw fluid and provide pressure output according to swash plate
position. At maximum output, the swash
plate is at maximum tilt.
When discharge pressure is greater than reference spring tension, the compensation spool
is positioned to regulate pressure applied to

the control piston. The displacement and


stroke of the p i s t o n s d e c r e a s e t o z e r o a s
swash plate angle decreases.
As discharge pressure decreases, the compensation spool is raised by the reference spring,
allowing control pressure to flow to return.
The swash plate spring pushes the swash
plate to the maximum angle, increasing piston stroke and pump output.

PRESSURE-HOLDING VALVE

The pressure-holding valve assists in maintaining a head pressure at the system reservoir.

The pressure-holding valve (Figure 13-7)


consists of a relief valve, accumulator, check
valve, and depressurizing button.

ACCUMULATORS

The check valve in the pressure-holding


valve prevents accumulator depletion when
the engine-driven pumps cease operation.
The depressurizing button, when depressed,
enables the hydraulic reservoir and system
to be depressurized for proper servicing.

Each system includes an oleopneumatic accumulator to dampen pressure surges and provide
instantaneously available reserve power. Each
accumulator is equipped with a charging valve
and a pressure gage. The No. 2 system includes
two additional accumulators to provide reserve

STANDBY PUMP
In the event of No. 2 system pump failure or
a pressure drop in that system, the electrically
driven standby pump (Figure 13-9) will provide backup pressure for the No. 2 system.
The pump, DC-powered by the main bus, is
controlled by the ST-BY PUMP switch with
OFF, ON, and AUTO positions. When the
switch, located on the hydraulic control and
display panel (Figure 13-10), is in the OFF position, the pump is inoperative. Pump operation in the AUTO or ON position will be
presented under Auxiliary Hydraulic System.

NOTE
After engine shutdown or hydraulic failure, hydraulic pressure in
the system accumulator drops to
zero. Check valves maintain hydraulic pressure in the brake and
thrust reverser accumulators.

FILTERS
Each main system incorporates filters equipped
with clogging detectors (Figure 13-8). In the
event a filter element becomes clogged beyond
an acceptable level, the detector protrudes.

Fluid quantity and pressure for each main system are read on the HYDR indicators (the left
indicator is for the No. 1 system). The PUMP 1,
PUMP 2, or PUMP 3 annunciator will come on
when pressure from the respective pump drops
below 1,500 psi (103.5 bars). All colored
annunciators are shown in Appendix B. The
ST/BY PUMP annunciator illuminates if the
standby pump operates continuously (longer
than 60 seconds) or if the standby pump selector
in the rear compartment (Figure 13-11) is not in
the IN FLIGHT position.

NO. 1 HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM
The No. 1 hydraulic system is pressurized by two
self-regulating pumps driven by the No. 1 and
No. 3 engines. Both pumps draw fluid from the
No. 1 reservoir (Figure 13-12).

Figure 13-11.

13-10

The pressure output of the pumps hydraulically


charges the No. 1 system accumulator and supplies pressure to barrel 1 of the aileron, elevator, and rudder servoactuators, elevator Arthur,
slats, normal brakes, and landing gear. Pressure
in the system is read on the left HYDR PRESSURE indicator on the hydraulic control panel.
The PUMP 2 annunciator will be on (No. 2 engine not operating). A relief valve prevents excessive pressure buildup in the event an
engine-driven pump malfunctions.
If the pump on the No. 1 or No. 3 engine fails,
the remaining pump will provide pressure for
subsystem operation.
When the engines are shut down and system
pressure bleeds off, an accumulator in the pressure-holding valve maintains reservoir pressurization.
External hydraulic power can be connected to
the system for maintenance or ground tests.
Most of the No. 1 system components are located
in the left hydraulic compartment (Figure 13-13).

ON-GROUND OPERATION

AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM
The auxiliary hydraulic system consists
primarily of the electrically driven standby
pump and the standby pump selector (Figure
13-11) in the rear compartment. The pump
is controlled by the ST-BY PUMP switch on
the hydraulic control and display panel.

With the ST-BY PUMP switch in the AUTO or


ON position and the standby pump selector in
the IN FLIGHT position, the pump activates
when system No. 2 pressure drops below 1,500
psi. With the selector in GROUND TEST
(Figure 13-18), the ST/BY PUMP light will
come on immediately and the pump activates
if system No. 1 pressure drops below 1,500 psi.

IN-FLIGHT OPERATION

NOTE

In flight, the ST-BY PUMP switch is left in the


AUTO position and the standby pump selector
in the IN FLIGHT position. If pressure in the
No. 2 system drops below 1,500 psi and the airbrake lever is moved out of the 0 position, the
pump operates until pressure increases to 2,150
psi. With the switch in the ON position, the only
condition necessary for pump operation is No.
2 system pressure dropping to 1,500 psi. When
the pressure of the standby pump reaches 2,150
psi, it will turn off. Continuous operation in excess of 60 seconds illuminates the ST/BY PUMP
annunciator on the hydraulic control panel.
Figure 13-17 shows the standby pump pressurizing the No. 2 system. Note that all three PUMP
annunciators are illuminated.

Table 13-1.
AIRPLANE
CONFIGURATION

It is important that the standby


pump be switched off prior to engine
shutdown to prevent pump motor operation with battery power only.

Table 13-1 shows the conditions required for


in-flight and on-ground activation of the
standby pump.

CHAPTER 14
LANDING GEAR AND BRAKES

INTRODUCTION
The Falcon 900 has a retractable tricycle landing gear consisting of two dual-wheel main
gears and a dual-wheel nose gear. The main gears retract inboard into the wing and a
well in the fuselage. The nose gear retracts forward into the fuselage. Each gear well is
enclosed by doors when the gear is retracted.
Three hydraulic braking systems (normal, emergency, and parking/emergency) actuate
brake units in all main gear wheels. Antiskid is available only with normal braking.
The nose gear is equipped with an electrohydraulic steering system that includes an antishimmy feature.

GENERAL
LANDING GEAR
Landing gear and door actuation are electrically
controlled and hydraulically actuated during
normal gear operation. An emergency hydraulic

control handle and three mechanical unlocking


control handles are provided for door opening
and emergency extension of the gear.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

14-1

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

The system includes main gear and door actuators, a nose gear actuator and telescopic locking tube, gear and door uplock boxes, and
proximity switches.
The normal landing gear handle is used for gear
extension and retraction. Proximity switches
sequence the opening of the main gear inner
doors, extension or retraction of the gear, and
closing of the doors.
The landing gear is mechanically and hydraulically downlocked, pressure being maintained
on the gear actuators after extension. The
gears and main gear inner doors are uplocked
by gear and door uplock boxes without hydraulic assistance.

A hydromechanical control enables main gear


inner door opening and gear emergency extension. The main gear doors remain open, the
gears are mechanically downlocked, and
hydraulic pressure is maintained on the gear
actuators. Normal control sequencing circuits
are deenergized during emergency extension.
The landing gears and doors are shown in
Figure 14-1.

BRAKES
Normal and emergency brakes can be applied
by either pilot. Normal (No. 1) braking with
antiskid is powered by the No. 1 hydraulic
system and is differential and progressive. At
retraction, automatic braking occurs to stop
main wheel rotation.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Emergency (No. 2) braking without antiskid,


powered by the No. 2 hydraulic system, is
also differential and progressive. As in normal
braking, either pilot can apply the brakes in
this mode.
Parking brakes are powered by the No. 2 hydraulic system or by pressure from a parking
brake accumulator. Braking is activated by a
parking brake handle (not with the toe pedals) and is progressive but not differential.
Antiskid protection is not provided in this
mode of braking.

NOSEWHEEL STEERING
Nosewheel steering, powered by the No. 2 hydraulic system, is provided by a rack-and-pinion actuator on the nose gear. A handwheel on
the left console provides electrical signals to
operate a control valve on the steering actuator. Feedback signals from a potentiometer
nulls steering signals as the selected position
is obtained.
The nosewheels are self-centering at lift-off, and
a shutoff valve closes to prevent inadvertent
n o s ew h e e l s t e e r i n g o p e r a t i o n i n f l i g h t .
Antishimmy is provided within the steering
actuator.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

LANDING GEAR
MAIN GEAR
Each main gear leg (Figure 14-2) consists primarily of a shock strut barrel housing a shock
absorber (lower unit) serviced with hydraulic
fluid and nitrogen. The shock absorber mounts
the axle, wheels, and brake assemblies and is
connected to the barrel with scissor links.
Each main gear also features two flight/ground
p r o x i m i t y s w i t c h e s a n d t wo t a c h o m e t e r
generators (wheel speed transducers) for the
brake antiskid system, one driven by each
main wheel. When extended, the main gear is
downlocked by an integral lock in the gear
actuator and by constantly applied hydraulic
pressure. When retracted, the gear is uplocked
by mechanical uplock units that are
hydraulically unlocked in the normal operating mode and mechanically unlocked in the
emergency extension mode.

also functions as a drag brace. The locking tube


is hydraulically unlocked prior to retraction
and incorporates the nose gear operation and
indication proximity switches.

The main doors can be opened on the ground


by levers on the uplocks for maintenance or
inspection, or, if the No. 1 hydraulic system
is pressurized, by pulling the hydraulic emergency gear extension handle labeled GEAR
PULL (Figure 14-4).
Pressure is applied to the doorlocks and the
door actuators, releasing the locks and extending the doors. To close the doors, push in
(stow) the GEAR PULL handle. This energizes the normal sequencing circuits and a
hydraulic selector valve, directing pressure
to close the doors.
If hydraulic pressure is not available, each
door can be opened manually. Actuate the unlocking lever on the doorlock. Manually move
the door open, evacuating fluid from the door
cylinder. Close the door by moving it to the
closed position, mechanically engaging the
doorlock.

NOSE GEAR
The nose gear leg (Figure 14-5) includes an
outer shock strut barrel housing a shock absorber serviced with hydraulic fluid and nitrogen. A rotatable inner barrel is controlled
by the steering system.
The inner barrel and shock absorber are connected with scissor links. A hydraulically actuated rack-and-pinion steering actuator integral
with the inner barrel provides motion through
the scissor links for nosewheel steering.
The nose gear features two flight/ground
proximity switches and two tachometer generators, one driven by each nosewheel. When
extended, the nose gear is mechanically
downlocked by a telescopic locking tube that

Nose Gear Doors


Four nose gear doors (Figure 14-5) enclose the
nose gear at retraction. The upper aft door is mechanically connected to the strut barrel and to
the airplane structure. The lower aft door is
connected to the scissors. Both doors move to
enclose the rear area of the gear at retraction.
The two forward doors are mechanically actuated by rollers on the torque link lower arm,
closing the doors at retraction. Each door
mechanism includes a proximity switch for the
red nose gear light.
Figure 14-6 shows the landing gear extended
and retracted configurations and the nose gear
forward doors opened and closed.

LANDING GEAR
COMPONENTS
Main Gear Bracing Cylinder
The main gear cylinders are secured to the
wing structure and to the main gear strut barrel. Hydraulic extension or retraction of the
cylinder piston raises or lowers the gear. The
cylinders also function as side braces with the
gear extended and contain an internal mechanism for locking the gear in the extended
position. They are equipped with two proximity switches: one controls the gear operating sequence, and the other provides gear
position indications and warnings.

locked down by an internal locking mechanism


and hydraulically unlocked for retraction. The
unit is equipped with two proximity switches
that control gear operation and indication.

Main Gear Door Actuators


One door actuator in each main wheel well is
attached to the airplane structure and to the door.
The door is opened and closed by hydraulic action of the actuator, which features a proximity
switch controlling gear operating sequence.

Flight/Ground Detection
The flight/ground detection system senses inflight or on-ground position of the main and
nose gear shock absorbers and activates various circuits accordingly. Shock absorber position is detected by two proximity switches
on each gear.
The various functions activated or inhibited by
the detection system, and the combination of
proximity switches involved, are shown in
Table 14-1.

Normal Gear Operation


Sequence and Indications
Hydraulically sequenced opening and closing of the main gear doors is controlled by
proximity switches on each main gear uplock
or downlock unit. Switches on the door uplocks
control the red MOVING lights for the main
landing gear.

Nose Gear Actuating Cylinder


The nose gear actuating cylinder is secured to
the airplane structure and to the nose gear
strut barrel. It hydraulically raises or lowers
the nose gear, but does not contain a downlock
mechanism or proximity switches.

Telescopic Locking Tube


The telescopic locking tube, attached to the airplane structure and to the nose gear strut barrel, follows gear movement. It is mechanically

by the main gear uplock and downlock
proximity switches. The doors will close only
when the gear is fully extended or retracted and
are sequenced open prior to gear extension and
retraction.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Main Gear
Normal gear operation is controlled by the door
proximity switches. The gear will not extend or
retract until the door actuators are fully
extended.

Nose Gear Doors


The nose gear doors are not sequenced; they are
mechanically actuated by nose gear movement.

Nose Gear
The nose gear telescopic locking tube and uplock, in conjunction with the main gear proximity switches, control main gear door
operation. The doors will not close until all three
gears are either uplocked or downlocked.

CONTROLS, INDICATIONS,
AND WARNINGS
Controls

The normal landing gear control handle (Figure 14-7) controls a six-contact switch. Four of
the contacts control the operation of the inner
doors and extension and retraction of the gear.
The fifth contact triggers the warning voice
and the red flashing light in the gear control
handle. The sixth contact energizes the antiskid system when the gear handle is down.
A red safety catch can be applied to lock the gear
handle in the down position. The catch is thumbed
open prior to placing the handle up or down. In
aircraft 157 and subsequent the safety catch
is removed.
Inadvertent retraction on the ground is prevented by a spring-loaded locking pin that
holds the handle down. Extension of the left
main and nose shock absorbers at lift-off
automatically releases the spring-loaded
locking pin, allowing handle movement. The
locking pin can be overridden at any time by
depressing the red pushbutton above the control handle. In aircraft 157 and subsequent the
red pushbutton is removed.

Hydraulic Emergency Gear


Extension Handle
This red control handle (Figure 14-4), located
beside the normal gear control handle, is labeled
GEAR PULL. Pulling the handle out mechanically actuates a hydraulic selector valve in
the hydraulic emergency extension system to direct No. 1 hydraulic system pressure for unlocking of the gears and doors and for gear extension
only. A microswitch on the selector valve trips
to interrupt electrical power to the gear sequencing system. Stowing the handle restores electrical sequencing and repositions the selector valve
prior to normal gear operation.

Mechanical Emergency
Extension Controls

The main gear handles are located in covered


recesses in the floor on either side of the
center pedestal. Each handle is mechanically
connected by a Teleforce cable to the corresponding gear door lock and gear uplock box.
The nose gear handle is located in a recess on
the left side of the center pedestal, held by
spring-loaded claws, or a spring on later aircraft.
Pulling the handles mechanically releases the
main gear doors and the gear uplocks for
freefall emergency extension.

extension, the red lights indicate that the
gear is in transit, extinguishing when gear sequencing is properly completed and the doors
are up and locked.
The main gear red lights illuminate any time
the associated gear door is not closed. The
nose gear red light illuminates when the nose
gear is not locked in either the extended or retracted position. It also illuminates if the nose
gear is locked down and either of the two forward nose gear doors is not fully open.
The three green NOSE, LH, and RH lights are
controlled by proximity switches on the nose
telescopic locking tube and on the main gear
bracing cylinders. Illumination indicates that
the corresponding gear is locked down.
The green main gear lights are controlled by one
of two proximity switches on the main gear

are locked down. The green nose gear light is
controlled by one of the two proximity switches
on the nose gear telescopic tube and illuminates
when the nose gear is locked down.

Warning Voice and


Flashing Red Handle
An audible voice announces Gear when any
of the following exists:
Airspeed is below 160 knots, the control
handle is in the up or down position,
any gear is not locked down, and any of
the power levers is below 73 PLA (voice
can be silenced with the HORN SIL
pushbutton, shown in Figure 14-11).
Flaps handle is positioned to 40 and
any gear is not locked down, regardless
of the position of the power levers or airspeed (voice cannot be silenced).

NOTE
Airspeed information is provided by
both the left and right ADCs.

Figure 14-12 and 14-13 show gear position displays and gear and door movement during retraction and extension.

The indicator lights are powered through the


landing gear indication 1DG circuit breaker on
the primary B1 bus. If that bus is not powered,
or if the circuit breaker is open, the lights are
automatically powered through the landing
gear control 1GA circuit breaker on the primary A1 bus. Figure 14-10 shows light displays during normal operations.

LANDING GEAR OPERATION


Normal Retraction (Figure 14-14)
At lift-off, extension of the left main and
nose gear shock absorbers releases the
solenoid-operated lockpin inhibiting gear
retraction on the ground.
Moving the gear control handle up modifies
the status of the six-contact switch, resulting
in the following sequence of events:
1. The red light in the control handle
flashes.
2. The extension solenoid in the gear electric selector valve deenergizes, venting
the pressure on the extension side of the
main gear bracing cylinders to return.
3. The door-opening solenoid in the electric selector valve energizes (provided
the gear is down and locked), directing
pressure to unlock and open the main
gear doors, as indicated by illumination of the left and right red MOVING
lights.
4. The gear retract solenoid in the electric selector valve energizes as soon
as the main gear doors are fully open,
directing pressure to unlock the gears,
as evidenced by the green NOSE, LH,
and RH lights going out.

NOTE
During gear retraction, the brakes
are automatically applied to stop
wheel rotation prior to retraction into
the wheel well.

5. The red center MOVING light comes on


as soon as the green nose gear light goes
out, indicating nose gear movement.
6. All three gears retract and engage their
mechanical uplocks. The red gear handle light and the red center nose gear
MOVING lights extinguish.
7. The door closing solenoid in the electric selector valve energizes, directing
pressure to close the main gear doors
14-14

(the left and right MOVING lights go


out). The gear retraction solenoid deenergizes, venting gear actuator pressure
to return.
8. The door closing solenoid deenergizes,
venting pressure in the door actuators
to return.
9. All lights on the position indication
panel are now extinguished.

Normal Extension (Figure 14-15)


With the airplane in flight and the gear control handle in the up position, the red light in
the handle and the warning voice activate if airspeed decreases to 160 knots and any of the
power levers has been retarded to less than 73
PLA power setting. Increasing airspeed to
above 160 knots or increasing all three power
levers above 73 PLA will cause the warnings to cease and the system to automatically
reset even if the voice was silenced with the
HORN SIL pushbutton.
Moving the gear control handle down modifies the status of the six-contact switch and results in the following sequence of events:
1. The brake antiskid system is energized,
provided the ASKID (antiskid) switch
is on.
2. The red light in the control handle
flashes, indicating a difference in handle and gear position. The warning
voice activates if airspeed is below 160
knots, any power lever is at a reduced
power setting, and all three gears are
not down and locked.
3. The door opening solenoid of the gear
electric selector valve energizes, directing pressure to unlock and open
the main gear doors, as indicated by illumination of the left and right red
MOVING lights.
4. The extension solenoid of the gear electric selector valve energizes as soon
as the main gear doors fully open, directing pressure to unlock and extend
the gears. The center MOVING light
illuminates as the nose gear unlocks.

5. At full extension, the gears mechanically lock down. The green NOSE, LH,
and RH lights come on. At the same time,
the nose gear is locked down, both forward doors are fully open, and the center MOVING light goes out. The gear
extension solenoid remains energized,
maintaining pressure on the main gear
bracing cylinders and nose gear actuator.
6. The flashing red light in the control
handle extinguishes, indicating that all
three gears are locked down.
7. The door solenoid in the electric selector valve energizes, directing pressure to close the main gear doors. When
the doors are fully locked closed, the
left and right MOVING lights go out.
8. Pressure to the door actuators is relieved to return.
At touchdown, compression of the left main
and nose gear shock absorbers deenergizes
the locking pin solenoid, allowing the locking
pin to engage the control handle lock in the
down position.

Hydraulic Emergency
Extension
The emergency extension system is to be used
when extension in the normal mode is unsuccessful. The control handle should be placed
in the down position (the red handle light will
be flashing). The warning voice will be heard
if airspeed is below 160 knots and any one of
the power levers is at a reduced power setting.
Pulling the GEAR PULL handle out results in
the following:
1. Electrical power to the landing gear
control circuit is interrupted.
2. The gear selector valve is positioned to
direct pressure from the No. 1 hydraulic
system through two shuttle valves
(Figure 14-16).
3. Pressure is applied to the gear and door
uplock units and to the main gear door

Revision 2

actuators, unlocking the gears and


opening the doors.
4. Pressure is applied to the main gear
bracing cylinders and nose actuator for
g e a r ex t e n s i o n a n d d ow n l o c k i n g .
Pressure is maintained on all actuators
and bracing cylinders.
5. The doors remain open, and the left
and right door MOVING lights remain
on (the center MOVING light goes out).
6. The green NOSE, LH, and RH lights
come on.
7. The red control handle light ceases
flashing, and the warning voice (if
sounding) is silenced.

Mechanical Unlocking
Extension
The mechanical unlocking extension (freefall)
system is used if all other extension methods
fail. No electrical or hydraulic power is required. The normal gear control handle should
be in the down position (red handle light flashing). The warning voice will be heard if airspeed is below 160 knots and any power lever
is at a reduced power setting (if electrical
power is available).
To activate the system:
1. Pull the GEAR PULL handle. This
positions the gear selector valve to direct fluid to return.
2. With airspeed not less than 160 knots,
successively pull the left and right main
gear unlocking handles (Figure 14-8).
This mechanically opens the uplocks on
both main gear doors and unlocks both
main gears (the left and right MOVING
lights come on).
3. Pull the nose gear unlocking handle.
This mechanically unlocks the nose gear
(the center MOVING light comes on).
4. The gear extends and downlocks under
the force of gravity. Airload aids nose
gear extension.

5. The main gear doors remain open, and


the left and right MOVING lights remain on (the center MOVING light goes
out when the nose gear is downlocked
and both forward doors are fully open).
6. The green NOSE, LH, and RH lights
are on, indicating that the gear is down
and locked.
Figure 14-17 presents gear position and warning indications observed during emergency
hydraulic and gravity extensions of the gear.

WHEELS AND TIRES


Wheels
The airplane uses split-type wheels (Figure 1418) on both the nose and the main gears. A seal
between the wheel halves prevents nitrogen pressure leakage. Each wheel is equipped with an inflation valve. Driving tenons in the main gear
wheel drive the rotating discs of the brake unit.

Tires
The type of tire used on the airplane is Michelin AIR X radial. Main gear tires are 29 x 7.7
x 15-inch; the nose gear utilizes 17.5 x 5.75
x 8-inch tires. Installation of radial tires on one
main gear and conventional tires on the other
main gear is forbidden.
Tire inflation is shown in Figure 14-20.

Flat spots that reach the metal reinforcing ply or obliterate the tread groove
Nylon rings visible through cracks at
the bottom of the thread groove

BRAKES
GENERAL
The airplane has three modes of braking, as described below. The term differential braking means that the brakes on either main gear
can be applied independently of the other main
gear. The terms progressive and modulating relate to increasing braking action as the
braking controls are actuated.

Normal Braking
The normal (No. 1) braking system is differential and progressive, with antiskid protection.
Brake application is initiated by either pilot
actuating the tips of the rudder pedals (brake
pedals). Pressure is supplied by the No. 1 hydraulic system.

Emergency Braking
Emergency (No. 2) braking, powered by the
No. 2 hydraulic system, is also differential
and progressive but does not feature antiskid
protection. This mode of braking is initiated
with the brake pedals by either pilot, the same
as for normal braking.

Checking Tire Condition


Check for tire slippage on the wheel. If the letter B and the red triangle are not in alignment,
the tire has slipped and tire pressure must be
checked. Tires must also be checked for cuts,
tears, and cracks.
Any of the following conditions warrants tire
replacement:
Depth of tread grooves is less than 0.5
mm (0.02 inch)

14-18

Emergency/Parking Brakes
This braking mode is powered by the No. 2 hydraulic system or by a brake accumulator. A
handle on the forward instrument panel initiates emergency braking or sets the parking
brakes, depending on how far it is pulled out.
Braking is progressive but is not differential.
Antiskid protection is not available.

Brake Units
Each main gear wheel incorporates a composite carbon brake unit (Figure 14-21) consisting of a hydraulic unit with two sets of five
pistons, each set pressurized by a different
system, and a set of carbon discs.

The brake unit includes three rotating discs,


keyed to and driven by the wheel, tenons, and
four nonrotating sliding discs. Piston action
forces the discs together against a backing plate
to provide braking friction. Each brake unit
features return springs, automatic running clearance adjustment, and two wear indicators to provide a visual indication of disc wear.

CONTROLS AND INDICATIONS

Indications

Controls

The normal braking indicating system, dependent on gear handle down position for operation, is powered by 28 VDC from bus A2
through the ANTI SKID circuit breaker on
the overhead panel.

Brake Pedals
The pilots and copilots brake pedals, springloaded to neutral, are mechanically interconnected by flexible control cables. Depressing
either set of pedals actuates the normal and
emergency brake control valves. Since either left
pedal controls the brakes on the left main gear
and the right pedals control braking on the right
main gear, braking is differential.

PARK BRAKE Handle


This spring-loaded yellow handle is located in
the center section of the instrument panel (Figure 14-22), beneath the glareshield. It has two
locking detented positions which can be unlocked by the red UNLOCK PUSH button in
the center of the handle.
The handle can be pulled to the first detent, but
the UNLOCK PUSH button must be depressed
prior to movement to the second detent. To
return the handle to the pushed-in (stowed) position from either detent, depress the UNLOCK
PUSH button, and move the handle forward to
release the brakes.

BRAKE Selector Switch


This three-position switch, located on the hydraulic control panel (Figure 14-22), selects
the braking mode. The switch is powered by
bus A1 through the ST-BY PUMP circuit
breaker. The upper face of the bevel-shaped
switch is red, and the lower face is green. With
the switch in the #1 ON (upper) position, the
green face is visible, and normal braking with
antiskid is selected. The No. 1 hydraulic system pressurizes this braking mode. In the center #2 OFF position, the No. 2 hydraulic system
powers the brakes, but antiskid is not available.
This braking is used if the No. 1 hydraulic or
antiskid systems fail.
In the lower #1 OFF position, normal (No. 1)
braking without antiskid is supplied by the No.
1 hydraulic system. The red face of the switch
is visible in the center and lower positions.
14-24

When illuminated, the L and R brake lights,


located on the hydraulic panel (Figure 14-22)
indicate that braking pressure to the corresponding gear has increased to 232 psi (16.0
bars). As the brakes are released, the lights go
out at a decreasing pressure of 160 psi (11.0
bars). The lights operate during No. 1 system
braking and will be illuminated by the antiskid
system when it is switched on.
The amber #2 P BK light, located on the warning lights panel, illuminates either steady or
flashing. It comes on steady and remains on
when the No. 2 hydraulic system is powering
the emergency or parking brakes when increasing pressure of 260 psi or more is detected in
the brake lines. It goes off if there is less than
145 psi in the lines.
Flashing, the light indicates that pressure in
the parking brake accumulator has dropped to
between 1,102 and 1,305 psi (76 to 90 bars or
below) and that one adequate brake application remains.

OPERATION
Normal Braking
Normal braking is initiated by either pilot by depressing the brake pedals. With the BRAKE selector switch in the #1 ON position, the normal
selector valve is deenergized. No. 1 hydraulic
system pressure is applied to the normal/emergency brake control valve (Figure 14-23).
The normal/emergency brake control valve is
dual-chambered (normal and emergency), each
chamber containing two separate slide valves.
One of the slides is mechanically actuated by
either left brake pedal; the other slide is actuated by either right brake pedal. Depressing a
brake pedal moves the appropriate slide valve
to meter braking pressure in direct proportion to pedal force (progressive braking).

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Metered braking pressure is directed through


antiskid servovalves to the brake units. The
brakes on either main gear are applied independently by depressing the appropriate pedal
to provide differential braking.
The pressure metered to the brakes is 2,102 to
2,349 psi (145 to 162 bars) for airplanes SNs
2 to 74 (except those with SB F900-42 incorporated) or 1,595 to 1,711 psi (110 to 118
bars) for airplanes SNs 75 and subsequent.
Indication of pressure in the brakes is provided by illumination of the green L and R
lights at 232 psi.

During retraction, gear upline pressure is applied


to both slide valves in the brake control valve to
provide a pressure of about 360 psi (25 bars) for
brake application during gear retraction into the
wheel well. In the event of total electrical
failure, normal braking without antiskid is
available from the No. 1 hydraulic system,
regardless of BRAKE selector switch position.

Memorized speed with programmed


deceleration
With the shock absorbers extended (in flight),
the wheels not rotating, and the BRAKE selector switch in the #1 ON position, the control
box commands the antiskid servo valves to
dump braking pressure if the brake pedals are
depressed.
When the shock absorbers are compressed at
touchdown, the main gear wheels spin up, the
dump command is canceled, and braking pressure is restored. The electronic control box
causes the servo valves to modulate braking
pressure according to wheel speed information
received from the tachometer generators on the
main gear wheels.
As the nosewheels spin up at touchdown, the
electronic control box signals the antiskid
servo valves to modulate braking pressure
according to airplane rolling speed compared
with a programmed deceleration rate. This
provides braking pressure regulation, even at
very low speeds.

Antiskid
The antiskid system prevents locking of the
main gear wheels during heavy braking by
modulating the pressure at the brake units.
The system is operative only with the BRAKE
selector switch in the #1 ON position and the
normal gear control handle down.
The system includes an electronic control box,
an antiskid servo valve for each main gear, and
six tachometer generators. Four of the tachometers are driven by the main gear wheels and
provide wheel speed signals to the control
box. Two tachometer generators driven by the
nosewheels provide airplane rolling speed information. A typical tachometer generator is
shown in Figure 14-25.
The control box receives the following inputs:
The reference speed
Main gear shock absorber position (compressed or extended)
Airplane rolling speed

Memory speeds for control box operation are


provided by one of the following:
In flight, a 60 meter-per-second, fixedspeed reference until the nosewheels are
on the ground (reference speed)
Outboard or inboard main wheel speed
inputs (whichever is lower)
When the nosewheels contact the runway, the
60-meter-per-second reference speed is removed. Since the nosewheel rpm is greater
than that of the main wheels, the control box
processes the new parameter to provide a
deceleration rate that allows a maximum
g-force of 0.6, controlled by the nosewheels.
In the event of system failure or hydroplaning
of both nosewheels, the control box reference
speed is provided by main wheel memory
speed to allow a 0.3-g braking force.
To prevent low-speed vibration in the event of
heavy braking below 40 knots, braking force
is limited to the 0.3-g speed deceleration rate.

The aircraft speed signal is given by each of the


two nose landing gear tachometer generators.
Electrical power from bus A2 across the ANTI
SKID circuit breaker provides the power supply for system operation.
Correct operation of this installation is monitored by the Minelco ANTISKID indicator on
the maintenance panel.
A discrepancy of 29 knots or more between the
left and right nosewheel speed or a tachometer generator line cut out, or double-braking
system failure if it has been used, will display
a red indication on the ANTISKID indicator.

System Testing
Antiskid system testing can be accomplished on
the ground or in flight. In either case, the
BRAKE selector switch must be in the #1 ON
position.

On airplanes SNs 75 and subsequent and


those with SB F900-42, a dual braking system is incorporated which assures greater efficiency during pretakeoff full-power braking
or during runup with brake pedals operation
(Figure 14-24).

Ground Test
With No. 1 hydraulic system pressure available, perform the following:
1. Set the parking brakes.
2. Depress the brake pedals, and observe
the green L and R lights on the hydraulic panel illuminate to indicate
pressure application to the brakes
(Figure 14-22).
3. Depress the TEST pushbutton on the hydraulic panel for 1.5 seconds while
maintaining the brake pedals depressed.
The lights go out (Figure 14-26).
4. Release the TEST button. After 2.5
seconds, the lights come on to indicate
correct system operation.

With the aircraft on the ground, the BRAKE


selector in #1 ON (antiskid operational), the
No. 1 or No. 3 engine (or both) near full-power
setting, and the aircraft speed lower than 10
knots or the aircraft stopped, the emergency
braking system valve (No. 2 system) is energized, and braking is carried out simultaneously by the No. 1 and No. 2 hydraulic systems,
thus assuring efficient braking.

In-Flight Test
1. With the normal gear handle down,
depress the brake pedals. The L and R
lights remain out (Figure 14-22).
2. Depress the TEST button (0.5 second)
while maintaining the pedals depressed. The lights come on after 0.8
second (Figure 14-26).

In the event of a main wheel tire blowout, the


burst tire discriminator system will completely
release braking pressure on both wheels of
the gear leg. After a 0.5-second time delay
the control box cancels the brake release order.
From then on, the antiskid control box will
function using rotation speeds from the undamaged wheel.

3. Lights illuminate for approximately


1 to 2 seconds and then go off.
4. Release the brake pedals; the lights
remain out.

Emergency Braking
With the No. 2 hydraulic system pressurized,
emergency braking without antiskid is available when the brake selector switch is in the
#2 OFF position.
Selection of the #2 OFF position of the
BRAKE selector switch completes circuitry to
energize the emergency brake control valve to
the open position and the normal brake control valve to the closed position (Figure 14-27).
This directs No. 2 system pressure or parking
brake accumulator pressure to the emergency
chamber of the normal/emergency brake control valve.
Depression of either set of brake pedals moves
the slide valves to meter emergency braking
pressure in direct proportion to applied pedal
force (progressive braking). Braking pressure
passes through shuttle valves and is applied to
a second set of pistons in the brake units, bypassing the antiskid servo valves. Metered pressure to the brakes is 1,100 to 1,203 psi (76 to
85 bars) for aircraft SNs 2 to 74 (except those
with SB F900-42 incorporated) or 1,000 to
1,100 psi (69 to 76 bars) for aircraft SNs 75 and
subsequent. Indication of pressure being applied
to the brakes is provided by illumination of the
#2 P BK light when pressure exceeds 261 psi.

(Figure 14-28), which meters braking pressure


in direct proportion to handle movement (progressive braking).
Braking pressure repositions the shuttle valves
and is applied to all four brake units simultaneously (no differential braking).
The PARK BRAKE handle has two detented
positions. Pulling the handle to the first detent
meters 595 to 646 psi (41 to 48 bars) for parking the airplane or for emergency braking
without locking the wheels. Pulling the handle to the second detent meters greater than
2,103 psi (145 bars) for maximum braking
during engine runup or emergency braking,
when required.

WARNING
Antiskid is not active in this braking
mode. Exercise care to prevent tire
blowout due to locked wheels.

The #2 P BK light comes on to indicate brake


operation with the handle pulled to either detent.
The nitrogen pressure gage for the parking brake
accumulator is visible through an inspection
port on the right wing root (Figure 14-29). The
accumulator must be hydraulically depleted by
repeated applications of the emergency brakes

As in normal braking, the brakes on either


main gear are applied independently by
depressing the appropriate pedal to provide
differential braking.

Emergency/Parking Brakes
The emergency/parking brakes are applied
with the PARK BRAKE handle (Figure 14-22).
The system can be used with the BRAKE selector switch in any position. Pressure is from
the No. 2 hydraulic system or an accumulator
isolated by a check valve.

prior to checking the nitrogen charge. The accumulator precharge should be approximately
1,000 psi (70 bars).

NOSEWHEEL STEERING
GENERAL
The hydraulically powered, electrically controlled nosewheel steering system provides
for deflection of the nosewheels up to 60
either side of center for steering during takeoff, taxiing, and landing. Electrohydraulic
inputs to the system must be manually
initiated; however, antishimmy and nose gear
centering occur automatically.

STEERING SYSTEM
The steering system includes a handwheel,
slaving unit containing a torque motor-actuated
control valve, rack-and-pinion steering actuator, spring accumulator, and valves controlling
pressure to the steering actuator. Also included
in the system are a solenoid-operated selector
valve, a slide valve selector, a feedback potentiometer, and an electronic control box. Power
for the electric control box is from bus B2
through the NOSE WHL circuit breaker.

A slide valve selector, mechanically actuated


by gear retraction, prevents inadvertent steering in flight. The valve is open with the nose
gear extended and closes when the nose gear
begins to retract.
The feedback potentiometer supplies nosewheel position signals to the electronic control box to cancel the steering input signal as
the wheels reach the desired position.
The steering handwheel (Figure 14-31) is located on the left console. When manually
rotated, the handwheel actuates a control
potentiometer to provide steering signals
through the electronic control box to the torque
motor on the steering assembly.
The handwheel must be depressed for unlocking and energizing the steering selector valve.
Rotation of the handwheel produces signals for
steering. When released, the handwheel returns
to neutral, and the steering selector valve is deenergized closed.

The steering actuator (Figure 14-30) is integral with the barrel of the nose gear strut.
Hydraulic pressure applied to either end of
the actuator piston moves the rack-and-pinion
assembly to transmit motion through the scissors for steering.
A solenoid-operated selector valve is electrically opened to direct pressure to the steering
assembly when the handwheel is depressed
and rotated and is spring-loaded closed to prevent steering when the handwheel is released.

Revision 3

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

NOSEWHEEL STEERING
OPERATION
Nosewheel steering is initiated with the handwheel (Figure 14-31), which can be rotated
120 in either direction. At 0 to 60 of handwheel rotation, the nosewheels are steered 0 to
8 from center. At 60 to 120 of handwheel
movement, the nosewheels are steered 8 to 60.
The handwheel is locked until it is depressed.
This energizes the steering selector valve open
to direct pressure to the slide valve selector
(Figure 14-32).
If the airplane is on the ground, the slide valve
selector has been mechanically positioned
open to direct pressure to the slaving unit.

LEFT CONSOLE

Figure 14-31. Steering Handwheel

ANTISHIMMY SYSTEM

Handwheel rotation actuates a potentiometer to


send electrical signals through the electronic
control box to a torque motor that determines
positioning of a spool within the steering control valve. The position of this valve determines flow to the steering actuator for steering
in the selected direction. The rack-and-pinion
actuator transmits motion through the scissors
to deflect the nosewheel for steering.

With hydraulic power not supplied to the steering system, nosewheel shimmy is dampened
by the antishimmy system consisting of the
steering actuator, two restrictor valves, and a
spring accumulator. Damping occurs when
movement of fluid from one chamber of the
steering actuator to the other chamber is forced
through the restrictors.

NOSE GEAR
CENTERING SYSTEM
The nose gear centering system consists of
two cams within the nose gear shock absorber.
The lower cam is attached to the barrel of the
strut; the upper cam is attached to the rotatable shock absorber. With the shock absorber
compressed on the ground, the cams are disengaged, allowing powered steering. As the
shock absorber extends at lift-off, the cams engage, centering the gear for retraction.

INTRODUCTION
The primary flight controls on the Falcon 900 airplane are hydraulically boosted but can
be manually actuated in the event both hydraulic systems fail.
Aileron and rudder trim is hydraulic, initiated by electric motors. Hydraulic gust damping is provided but is not dependent on hydraulic pump pressure. A hydraulically actuated, autopilot servo-controlled yaw damper prevents yaw oscillations. Horizontal
stabilizer trim is provided electrically.
The secondary flight controls consist of trailing-edge flaps, leading-edge slats, and airbrakes. They are electrically controlled and hydraulically actuated.

GENERAL
The flight attitude of the airplane is controlled
with conventional primary flight controls: two
ailerons for roll, two elevators functioning as
a single unit and a movable horizontal stabilizer for pitch, and a rudder for yaw.

Secondary flight controls consist of four leading-edge slats and four trailing-edge flaps
for high lift and six airbrakes for aerodynamic braking.

FlightSafety

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

The primary flight control system is fully


boosted and nonreversible. Control inputs
from the cockpit are transmitted through a
system of push-pull rods and bellcranks to the
dual hydraulic servoactuators powering the
ailerons, rudder, and elevators. Failure of an
input control linkage results in the affected servoactuator returning to neutral.
In the event of a total hydraulic failure, the primary flight controls may be operated manually but with some loss of efficiency. In this
case, the servoactuators mechanically transmit
control inputs to the control surfaces, and airspeed should be limited for flight to 260 KIAS.
Aileron and rudder trim are controlled by dualrocker switches located on the trim control

box on the center pedestal. Electrical trim actuators reposition the applicable servoactuators, moving the entire control surface to
provide aileron and rudder trim. There are no
trim tabs on the airplane.
Horizontal stabilizer (tailplane) trim is controlled by dual-rocker switches on the control
wheels or by an emergency trim control on the
trim control box. The stabilizer is repositioned
by two 28-VDC motors (normal and emergency) to provide pitch trim.
The electrically controlled leading-edge slats
can be actuated by the No. 1 or No. 2 hydraulic
system, the airbrakes and trailing-edge flaps
by the No. 2 system. Trailing-edge flaps and
leading-edge slats are selected simultaneously.

the control surface, movement of the barrel


counters the relative movement of the slide
valve to provide follow-up action.

GENERAL

If one hydraulic system fails, the bypass valve


in the corresponding barrel interconnects the
two chambers. Therefore, the depressurized
barrel offers minimal resistance to the remaining operative barrel.

Servoactuators
Hydraulic servoactuators in each primary control axis position primary flight control surfaces in response to control inputs. Figure
15-1 shows both primary and secondary control surfaces.
The servoactuators (Figure 15-2) consist of two
independent barrel and piston assemblies operating in unison. One barrel is powered by the
No. 1 hydraulic system, the other barrel by the
No. 2 system.
Each servoactuator incorporates the following:
A piston dividing the barrel into two
chambers. The piston rods are connected
to the airframe.

If both hydraulic systems fail, return springs


move the slide valves to neutral. Control inputs
then mechanically move the barrels to provide
manual deflection of the control surface.

Flutter and Gust Damping


Automatic gust damping of the rudder and
elevator movement on the ground and prevention of surface flutter in flight in the event
of hydraulic failure are provided by a calibrated valve (Figure 15-2). After engine shutdown, the elevators move slowly to the fully
down position.

A slide valve equipped with neutral return springs and end-of-travel stops

Artificial Feel System (Springs)

An input arm common to both barrels


and connected to control linkage from
the cockpit. This input arm controls the
movement of both slide valves.

Hydraulically boosted flight controls do not


provide aerodynamic load feel to the pilot.
Therefore, spring-loaded artificial feel units
(AFUs) are incorporated in the primary flight
control linkages prior to the servoactuators.
The load feel provided is in direct proportion
to control input movement and the resultant
spring compression. Compression or extension
of the AFU produces a force that must be overcome by the crew or the autopilot.

An auxiliary arm integral with the input


arm and connected to the auxiliary feel
unit (AFU) to center the controls.
A bypass valve that interconnects the
two chambers in the event of hydraulic
failure. A calibrated heating orifice
maintains the hydraulic fluid to a satisfactory level.
A check valve in the pressure line to
prevent backflow if high aerodynamic
load overcomes hydraulic force.
Movement of the control input linkage moves
the slide valve, directing pressure to displace
the servoactuator barrel, which is connected
to the control surface. In addition to moving

The force pattern of the AFU varies with the


amount of control input. Force required to
compress the AFU increases directly to the
amount of control input. There are two levels
of resistance in the aileron and rudder AFUs
and three levels in the elevator AFU. The rudder AFU has a breakout resistance that must
be overcome prior to leaving neutral.

Auxiliary AFU
A spring-loaded auxiliary AFU is connected
to the airframe and to the auxiliary arm of
each servoactuator (Figure 15-2). If control
input linkage fails, these AFUs provide a centering force to the servoactuator slide valves.

AILERONS
General
Aileron deflection is initiated by moving the
pilots or copilots control wheel. Control inputs are through a rigid linkage composed of
fixed and adjustable push-pull rods hinged on
bellcranks. The linkage is routed along the
right side of the fuselage, where it is separated
into left and right paths (Figure 15-3).

AFU. If the control linkage to the input arm


becomes disconnected, the AFU maintains the
slide valves in the neutral position. The remaining aileron provides sufficient roll control for flight.
In the event of linkage seizure, the electric
emergency aileron actuator (Figure 15-3) can
be utilized to directly drive the servoactuator
to position the aileron 7 to maintain controlled flight. The actuator is controlled by two
red emergency actuator buttons below the
AILERON trim switch (Figure 15-4). The buttons are separated by a small partition to preclude depression of both buttons
simultaneously.
The position of the aileron emergency actuator
is indicated by illumination of the amber AIL
ZERO warning light on the warning panel,

From this point to the servoactuators, linkages


are routed forward of the wing front spars. In
the left wing, an electrically actuated emergency aileron actuator can also drive the
servoactuator. In the emergency mode, it will
control the left aileron if control linkage fails
or seizes.

NOTE
If the left servoactuator is unable to
move, the emergency unit will operate the right servoactuator in the
opposite direction of control switch
movement through the control pushpull rods.

Aileron Operation
Movement of the input arm positions slide
valves in the servoactuator (as during normal
operation), causing the barrels to move and
reposition the aileron. As the desired position is reached, the slide valves return to neutral, and aileron movement stops.
An auxiliary arm on the servoactuator is connected to an airframe-mounted auxiliary

2 inputs or ADC 1 on SN 179 and subsequent.


This variation is accomplished through an
electric motor.

Arthur Variable Bellcranks

In the event either hydraulic system fails, the


spring-loaded sliding rod returns to the lowspeed, controls easy position. System monitoring is provided by a potentiometer.

Variable bellcranks are installed in the aileron


and elevator control linkages to vary the feel
force of the flight controls. The feel force varies
with changes in the IAS (ailerons) and with
the position of the horizontal stabilizer (pitch).
As airspeed increases, the pivot point of the
aileron bellcrank, commonly referred to as an
Arthur Q unit, changes to effectively increase the spring tension of the AFU (Figure
15-5). Horizontal stabilizer nosedown position
(high-speed Arthur) also results in an increase
of the tension of the elevator AFU.
This, in turn, requires that more force be applied
to the controls for a given control input. The
aileron Arthur Q unit is pressurized by the No. 2
hydraulic system for aircraft lower than SN 165
or electrically controlled on SN 165 and
subsequent. The elevator Arthur unit is
pressurized by the No. 1 hydraulic system.

Arthur Unit Principles


of Operation
The Arthur unit consists of an actuating cylinder articulating around a pivot point. The rod
sliding within the cylinder is connected to the
main AFU at one end and at the other end to
the trim actuator or to an elevator control rod
connected to the main linkage (Figure 15-5 and
15-11). The position of the sliding rod, and
therefore the pivot point, depends on the hydraulic pressure in the cylinder.
For aircraft lower than SN 165, the aileron Q
unit cylinder pressure is controlled by an orifice that modulates pressure as referenced by
the standby pitot pressure and static indicated
airspeed (IAS) sensing capsule (in the elevator Arthur unit, the cylinder pressure is controlled by a servo valve slaved to the elevator
Arthur unit control box).
On aircraft SN 165 to 178, the variation of the
aileron pivot point ratio is slaved to the ADC
15-6

Aileron Arthur Q Monitoring


For aircraft lower than SN 165, the aileron Q
unit is monitored by comparison of the IAS
input from the ADC 1 (or ADC 2 in the event
of ADC 1 failure) with position signals from a
potentiometer on the Q unit. The Arthur unit is
positioned by an IAS capsule controlled by the
standby pitot and static inputs.
For aircraft SN 165 to 178, the aileron Arthur
unit is monitored by comparison of a potentiometer on the Arthur unit and inputs
from ADC 1, or on SN 179 and subsequent
from ADC 2.
If a difference of approximately 40 knots exists at low speed, or 60 knots at high speed, the
amber AIL FEEL warning light illuminates.
For aircraft SN 165 and higher, this warning
is provided after a 3-second delay. The light
also illuminates if the monitoring system is inoperative (all colored warning lights are shown
in Appendix B).
If the No. 2 hydraulic system fails on aircraft
lower than SN 165, or if electrical failure occurs on all subsequent SN aircraft, the Q unit
automatically reverts to low-speed mode. Control forces during landing will be normal; however, at high speeds control will be sensitive.

Aileron Trim
Aileron trim is electrically controlled and hydraulically actuated. The trim actuator (Figure
15-3) is electrically driven and is controlled
by the AILERON dual-rocker switch on the
pedestal (Figure 15-4). Both halves of the
switch must be depressed simultaneously to
complete circuitry for trim actuation. If trim
occurs with one switch depressed, a malfunction exists.

NOTE
Runaway aileron trim can be stopped
by applying opposite trim and then
disengaging the control circuit
breaker. Trim will remain inoperative.

Movement of the AILERON trim switch applies 28 VDC to the trim actuator. Linear motion from the actuator displaces the input arm
on the servoactuator, thus hydraulically repositioning the ailerons. Maximum trim deflection of the aileron is 12 30. Maximum aileron
trim is indicated by a reading of 50 on the
trim indicator.
Aileron position is shown on the AIL position
indicator on the instrument panel. Do not attempt aileron trim when hydraulic pressure is
not available.
A block diagram of the aileron control system is
shown in Figure 15-6. The AIL position indicator is shown in Figure 15-7, the AILERON
trim switch in Figure 15-4.

RUDDER
Figure 15-7.

General
Positioning of the rudder is initiated by moving the pilots or copilots rudder pedals. Control
is through a rigid linkage composed of fixed and
adjustable push-pull rods hinged on bellcranks.
The linkage is routed along the right side of the
fuselage, leaving the pressurized section
through a pressure sealing box (Figure 15-8).
From that point, it is routed through the vertical stabilizer to the servoactuator.

Rudder Operation
One side of the servoactuator is controlled directly by linkage from the rudder pedals; the
other side of the actuator is connected to the
auxiliary AFU (Figure 15-8).
Actuation of either set of rudder pedals
mechanically positions the input arm on the
servoactuator through a yaw damper unit.

the servoactuator, causing the actuator housing (barrel) to move and position the rudder.
As the desired position is reached, the slide
valves return to neutral, and the rudder stops.
The main AFU is connected to the control
linkage through a bellcrank and the rudder
trim actuator, providing artificial feel forces
in parallel to the main linkage. An auxiliary
artificial feel torque unit is connected to the
opposite servoactuator input lever to center the
rudder servoactuator in the event of breakage, or disconnection of the control linkage.
There is no Arthur Q unit in the rudder control system; all control feel is through the
main AFU.
With one hydraulic system inoperative, the
servoactuator is capable of providing full

rudder deflection up to 160 KIAS. With both


systems operative, full deflection can be made
up to 230 KIAS.

Rudder Trim
Rudder trim is electrically controlled and hydraulically actuated. The trim actuator (Figure
15-9) is electrically driven and is controlled
by the RUDDER dual-rocker switch. Both
halves of the switch must be moved simultaneously to complete circuitry for trim actuation. If trim occurs with one switch half
depressed, a malfunction exists.

NOTE
Runaway rudder trim can be stopped
by applying opposite trim and then
disengaging the control circuit
breaker.

Movement of the RUDDER trim switch applies


28 VDC to the linear rudder trim actuator. As
the actuator drives, the main AFU is moved to
displace linkage to the servoactuator, hydraulically repositioning the rudder. Maximum rudder deflection with the trim system is 12 30.
Trim deflection is shown on the RUDDER
trim position indicator (Figure 15-7). A reading of 40 on the indicator relates to 12 30 of
rudder trim.

Yaw Damping
The yaw damper system dampens rapid yaw oscillations by making small corrective displacements of the rudder and does not affect pilot
control of the rudder. The electrically driven
yaw damper actuator (Figure 15-8) is installed
in series with the rudder control linkage. When
energized by the autopilot computers, it provides motion to the servoactuator slide valves
for small deflections of the rudder.

NOTE
The autopilot does not have to be engaged for yaw damper operation.

15-12

ELEVATOR
Elevator positioning is initiated by fore or aft
movement of either control column. Control
inputs are transmitted through rigid linkage
consisting of fixed and adjustable push-pull
rods hinged on bellcranks. The linkage is
routed along the left side of the fuselage. After
leaving the passenger section, it is directed to
the elevator servoactuator in the vertical stabilizer (Figure 15-10).
The linkage system includes a spring-loaded
main AFU connected to the Arthur variable
bellcrank and to the airframe. The hydraulically actuated Arthur unit (Figure 15-11)
changes the pitch feel according to position
signals received from the horizontal stabilizer. The signals obtained provide steady
forces per g regardless of IAS, Mach number,
or airplane center of gravity.
The elevator Arthur box continuously monitors
the position of the Arthur actuator with respect to the position of the horizontal stabilizer.
The horizontal stabilizer position is provided
by the units potentiometer. Comparison is
electrical, and the warning threshold corresponds to a discrepancy of 0.5 difference between the unit and the horizontal stabilizer
position. This results in illumination of the
amber PITCH FEEL light (the light also illuminates during power failure).
The position of the Arthur cylinder piston is
controlled by No. 1 hydraulic system pressure. It varies with horizontal stabilizer position signals received through the electronic
Arthur control box to position a servo valve.

NOTE
At any speed, the horizontal stabilizer position has a direct relationship
with airplane center of gravity. The
elevator Arthur will provide steady
feel forces per g, independent of center of gravity.

The Arthur unit ratio is 1 with the horizontal


stabilizer less than 4 (low-speed Arthur
modenoseup). The maximum ratio is 3 for
stabilizer positions greater than +1 15 (highspeed Arthur modenosedown).
The force feel is automatically increased 20%
per g when the airbrakes are extended.

NOTE
Normal or emergency leading-edge
slat extension reverts the actuator to
the low-speed mode to preclude any
further possible failure of the horizontal stabilizer actuator.

HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
General
The movable stabilizer is used to trim the airplane in the pitch axis. It is driven by either
of two 28-VDC motors, normal or emergency,
and is controlled by a dual-rocker trim switch
on either control wheel (Figure 15-12) or the
emergency pitch trim (TAILPLANE) switch on
the pedestal.

BOTH CONTROL WHEELS

VDC through the NORMAL circuit breaker


on the trim control box.
Stabilizer movement in either direction is indicated by a rattle noise from the audio system.
Stabilizer position is shown on the STAB scale
of the position indicator (Figure 15-12). Takeoff range is indicated by a green band from 4
30' to 7 30'.
The stabilizer can also be actuated by the autopilot and Mach trim system (when engaged). The
NORMAL circuit breaker must be engaged.
If the stabilizer is out of the takeoff range of
4 to 8 on the ground and either power lever
is advanced past 84 PLA setting, the red T/O
CONFIG warning light comes on, and the no
takeoff voice warning sounds. This is one of
five conditions that will activate the takeoff
configuration system.
A block diagram of the elevator and horizontal stabilizer system is presented in Figure
15-13. Controls and indicators for the horizontal stabilizer system are shown in Figures
15-12 and 15-14.

Emergency Operation
EMERGENCY PITCH

NORMAL CIRCUIT BREAKER

Figure 15-12. Horizontal Stabilizer Trim System

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

Normal Operation
Normal deflection of the horizontal stabilizer
is from +2 nosedown to 10 noseup. It is limited to 4 noseup if airspeed is above 210
KIAS. IAS input is from the No. 1 air data computer (ADC).
Both halves of the dual-rocker pitch trim switch
on the control wheel must be depressed simultaneously for pitch trim action. Actuation of
trim with one half of the switch depressed constitutes a malfunction. Control relays within the
system energize one winding of the normal
motor while deenergizing the other winding.
Noseup and nosedown windings cannot be energized simultaneously. If noseup and nosedown commands are initiated simultaneously,
both commands are nulled, and no trim occurs. Overtravel is prevented by electrical stops
(limit switches). Power for trim operation is 28

In the event the horizontal stabilizer is inoperative in the normal mode, the stabilizer can be
actuated with the EMERG pitch trim (TAILPLANE) switch on the trim control box (Figure 15-12). The switch is spring-loaded to the
center (off) position and has momentary stabilizer UP and DOWN positions. Moving the
switch to either operating position automatically disengages a NORMAL circuit breaker
located near the switch, rendering normal operating circuitry inoperative.
There are two microswitches, noseup and nosedown, which limit operation in the emergency
mode of operation. Therefore, the stabilizer
cannot be driven to the mechanical stops. To
reinstate normal trim operation after using
the emergency mode, the NORMAL circuit
breaker must be reengaged.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Horizontal Stabilizer Operation


with the Mach Trim System
To augment stability in the pitch axis at high
Mach numbers, the Mach trim system modulates the stabilizer position as the Mach number varies. This system is normally activated
prior to takeoff and becomes operative when
the Mach number is above .775. The pitch
trim command inputs are supplied by the Mach
trim control box in parallel with the normal
manual control inputs.

TRAILING-EDGE FLAPS
General
The trailing-edge flaps (Figure 15-16) consist
of an inboard and an outboard dual-slotted
segment on each wing. A fixed fore flap is
mounted forward of each segment.

With the Mach trim system engaged, the normal trim system can be used at any time to adjust stabilizer position. When the normal pitch
trim switch is released, the Mach trim system
resumes its automatic operation.

NOTE
Mach trim is overridden by the autopilot or stabilizer trim normal control.

The Mach trim system is activated by the M


TRIM pushbutton on the autopilot controller
(Figure 15-15). The amber MACH TRIM warning light is illuminated when the system is deenergized or when a system fault is detected.

Figure 15-15.

Mach Trim Pushbutton

SECONDARY FLIGHT
CONTROLS
GENERAL
The secondary flight controls include electrically
controlled and hydraulically actuated trailingedge flaps, leading-edge slats, and airbrakes.
The flaps are actuated by an electrically controlled hydraulic motor driving torque tubes and
jackscrews. The leading-edge slats, extending
along the entire leading edge of the wing, are
powered by double-acting hydraulic actuators
and operate in three different modes. The airbrakes, three on the top surface of each wing, are
normally controlled by a three-position handle
on the trim control box. Automatic airbrake
retraction occurs at high angle of attack.

Figure 15-16.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

Flaps and Airbrakes

15-17

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

The flaps are controlled by a combination


slat/flap handle on the slat/flap control box.
Handle movement provides circuitry to a control valve on the flap hydraulic motor reduction gear (Figure 15-17). Reduction gearing
driven by the motor provides motive force to
actuate the flaps through torque tubes and
jackscrews.

Hydraulic power is supplied by the No. 2 hydraulic system or by the hydraulic standby
pump if the No. 2 hydraulic pump fails. Flap
position indication is provided by an indicator on the instrument panel. Asymmetry protection is also provided.

Overtravel of the flaps is prevented by a springloaded brake within the motor.

The flaps are controlled with the handle on the


slat/flap control box (Figure 15-18).

The flaps can be extended by moving the


slat/flap handle to the 7 FLAPS+SLATS position. This energizes the flap control valve,
and the hydraulic motor operates to drive the
flaps (Figure 15-19).
As the flaps reach the selected 7 position, the
control valve is deenergized, and pressure is
removed from the hydraulic motor. The braking device in the motor is hydraulically operated during operation and then released,
holding the flaps in position. Further extension can be made by positioning the handle to
the next position.

Flap Indication System


A flaps asymmetry detection circuit compares
flaps position information from position trans-

Revision 3

mitters on each outboard flap. If asymmetry


greater than 5 (flaps near takeoff position) or
8 (flaps near landing configuration) exists, a
differential comparator triggers the amber
FLAP ASYM warning light. The flap motor
control circuit breaker is also automatically
deenergized to remove hydraulic pressure
from the motor, and the motor brake is applied to hold the flaps in position.

EMERG
SLATS

There is no provision made for emergency operation of the flaps. However, the standby hydraulic pump can be used to actuate the flaps
in the event the No. 2 hydraulic system pump
fails for reasons other than line rupture and loss
of fluid. Regardless of the pressure source,
the flaps control handle is used for flap operation, and asymmetry protection and position
indication are the same as previously described.

LEADING-EDGE SLATS
General
The leading-edge slats extend along the entire
leading edge of the wing (Figure 15-20). Each
wing incorporates one inboard slat (droop
leading edge) and one outboard slat.
Slat operation is electrically controlled and hydraulically actuated. Three actuators power
each outboard slat. One actuator provides only
extend force; two are double-acting (differential) units. Each inboard slat is powered by
one differential actuator. The actuators are
continuously pressurized to maintain the slats
in the retracted position.

Normally, it is steadily illuminated when all

arrow light illuminates with the slats in transit or if slat position and control handle position disagree.

The slats are normally controlled with the


handle on the slat/flap control box (Figure
15-20). Moving the handle out of CLEAN selects full extension of the slats (and trailingedge flaps, as selected). Emergency extension
only of the outboard slats is accomplished
w i t h t h e g u a r d e d E M E R G E N C Y S L AT S
switch adjacent to the normal control handle.
Slat position indication is provided by a green
light resembling a slat (Figure 15-20).

Flight above 265 knots with the AUTO SLATS


light on is prohibited.

Normal Operation
No. 1 hydraulic system pressure is constantly
applied to the retract side of all normal actuators to hold the slats retracted. This pressure
is applied to the side of the piston with the
smaller working area. When pressure is also
applied to the other side of the piston (larger
area), the actuator extends.
Moving the control handle on the slat/flap
control box out of CLEAN energizes the outboard solenoid selector, and then the inboard
solenoid selector valve when the outboard
slats are fully extended (Figure 15-21).
No. 1 system pressure is directed to the actuators to extend the outboard slats. When the outboard slats are fully extended, an actuator on
each inboard slat provides inboard slats extension. Returning the handle to CLEAN deenergizes the selector valves, allowing extension
pressure to be vented to return. The constantly
applied pressure on the retract side of the actuators retracts the inboard slats and holds them
in position. The outboard slats are delayed in
retraction until trailing-edge flaps and inboard
slats are fully retracted.

The outboard selector valve is dual-solenoid


actuated. One solenoid is powered by bus A1
through L/H AUTO SLAT breaker. The other
solenoid receives power from the battery bus
through the SLATS circuit breaker located on
the main electrical box (6PA). Either solenoid
will actuate the selector valve. The inboard
solenoid is powered only through the L/H
AUTO SLAT circuit breaker.
When the outboard slats have been extended
normally via the slat/flap handle and there is
a failure of the main left and right buses, the
outboard slats are kept extended by electrical
supply from the battery bus.
Slat control and indications in flight with the
control handle in CLEAN and out of CLEAN
position are shown in Figures 15-23 and 15-24.

Automatic Operation
(Clean Stall)
Automatic operation of the slats is armed by
IAS (from the ADC), is controlled by angle
of attack (AOA), and is operative up to 265
knots, Airplane AOA is detected by two angleof-attack vanes, one on either side of the forward fuselage (Figure 15-22). The left system
is armed by ADC 1; the right system by ADC
2. Each vane is heated through the PITOT
switch on the overhead panel.

The left vane is powered by the L/H AUTO


SLAT circuit breaker; the right vane is powered
by the R/H AUTO SLAT circuit breaker.
On the ground, automatic slat operation is inhibited by the main gear flight/ground proximity switches. The left vane is controlled by
the left main gear; the right vane by the right
main gear.
In flight, with the slat/flap handle in CLEAN
and IAS below 265 knots, the outboard slats normal actuators supplied by No. 1 hydraulic system pressure automatically extend the outboard
slats when the left vane exceeds 11 airplane
AOA. Similarly, if the right vane exceeds 12.2
airplane AOA, No. 1 and No. 2 hydraulic system pressure supplies the normal and emergency outboard slat actuators, automatically
extending the outboard slats, which are then retracted when airplane AOA decreases below
those values (Figure 15-25).
If the slats have been extended by moving the
control handle out of CLEAN (normal mode),
the inboard slats automatically retract if the
airplane AOA exceeds 23 (Figure 15-26).
The outboard slats remain extended. When
the airplane AOA decreases to less than 16.5,
the inboard selector valve is again energized
and the inboard slats automatically extend.
A block diagram of the automatic slat control
system is shown in Figure 15-27.

below 11 stops the audio warning and deactivates the ignition system after a ten-second
delay. If the slats were extended in the normal mode, this function occurs at 16.5 airplane AOA. In both instances of stall, the red
transit light comes on. The red TRANSIT
light goes out and the green indicator flashes
when the outboard slats fully extend or the inboard slats fully retract.

Testing Automatic Slat Function


Each automatic slat control system is tested
with the STALL 1 or STALL 2 test buttons on
the pedestal (Figure 15-28).
Depressing either STALL test button (on the
ground only) simulates an in-flight configuration with signals corresponding to an airplane AOA greater than 11 with the slat
control handle in the CLEAN position or, with
handle out of CLEAN, greater than 23 airplane AOA.

If the slats are retracted at the time of testing,


the outboard slats automatically extend, the
IGN indicator lights on the overhead panel
come on, the audio warning is heard, and the
green light flashes. If the slats are extended, the
inboard slats automatically retract, the audio
warning sounds, and the green light flashes.

As the outboard slats are in transit, the red


slats moving light on the configuration panel
illuminates, and goes out when the slats are extended. The green slats position light comes on
and flashes at full slat extension. This mode of
operation is intended for landing configuration
and does not provide for slat retraction.

NOTE
On the ground with any power lever
above 84 PLA setting and the
slats not extended, the red takeoff
configuration light comes on.

AIRBRAKES
General
The airplane is equipped with airbrakes
consisting of three panels hinged at the aft
position of each wing upper surface. The panels are actuated by differential hydraulic actuators and there is no mechanical sequencing.
The No. 2 hydraulic system powers the airbrake system with the hydraulic standby pump
as a backup pressure source.
Figure 15-28.

STALL 1 and STALL 2


Test Buttons

Emergency Extension of
the Outboard Slats
If normal slat control or the No. 1 hydraulic
system fails, the guarded EMERGENCY
SLATS switch located on the pedestal close to
the slat/flap handle (aircraft SNs 1 to 161) or
on the slat/flap control box (aircraft SNs 162
and subsequent) can be used to extend the outboard slats (see Figure 15-18).
Raising the guard and actuating the switch
energizes the slats emergency selector valve,
directing No. 2 hydraulic system pressure to
the emergency actuators connected to the outboard slats (Figure 15-29).

Revision 4.01

Extension and retraction are controlled by a


handle on the pedestal. This handle provides
electrical signals to the systems two selector
valves, one for the center airbrake panel actuators and one for the inboard and outboard
panel actuators. Maximum deflection of the
airbrakes is:
Inboard panels37
Center panels50
Outboard panels68

Control
The airbrakes are controlled by the AIR
BRAKE handle (Figure 15-30). Power for system operation is from the A1 bus through the
A/B CONTROL (1CD) circuit breaker.

deenergized. No. 2 system pressure through


the airbrakes-retracted pressure-holding valve
is applied to the smaller working area of the
actuator pistons, holding the surfaces retracted
(Figure 15-31).
Moving the handle to the 1 position energizes
the center airbrake selector valve, directing
No. 2 system pressure to the extend side of the
center airbrake actuators. Pressure working on
the larger area of the actuator pistons extends
the center airbrake surfaces to maximum deflection of 50, and the amber AIR BRAKE
light comes on.

Figure 15-30. AIR BRAKE Handle

The handle has three positions labeled 0,


1, and 2, each incorporating a ball-lock detent. In the 0 position, all surfaces are retracted (flush). Position 1 results in extension
of only the center panels; position 2 causes all
panels to extend.

Indications

Moving the handle from the 1 to the 2 position


energizes the outboard and inboard airbrake
selector valves, directing pressure to the extend
side of the four actuators powering the outboard and inboard surfaces. Pressure on the
larger area of the actuators fully extends the inboard surfaces to 37 and the outboard surfaces to 68. The center airbrake selector valve
remains energized, the center airbrakes remain
extended, and the amber AIR BRAKE light remains on.
Conversely, moving the handle back to the 1
position deenergizes the outboard and inboard
selector valves, allowing the outboard and inboard surfaces to retract.

System indication consists of two lights. The


red T/O CONFIG light on the warning panel
illuminates when the airplane is on the ground,
the inboard or center airbrakes are not retracted, and one or more power levers are advanced beyond the 84 PLA setting.

Handle movement to the 0 position deenergizes


the center airbrake selector valve, and the center
surfaces retract, extinguishing the amber AIR
BRAKE light.

The amber AIR BRAKE light on the configuration panel comes on with the AIR BRAKE handle in position 1 or 2 and the airbrakes extended.
It will flash when the airbrakes automatically retract during stall conditions.

If either AOA vane detects airplane AOA increasing above 16.5, both selector valves are
deenergized, and all surfaces retract and are held
by the constantly applied pressure on the retract
side of the actuator pistons (Figure 15-31). The
amber AIR BRAKE light flashes.

Normal Operation

Subsequent to automatic retraction of the airbrakes, they cannot be extended again until the
handle is returned to 0 to electrically recycle
the system.

With the AIR BRAKE handle in the 0 position, both the center airbrake and outboard airbrake solenoid-operated selector valves are

CHAPTER 16
AVIONICS

INTRODUCTION
The Falcon 900 avionics consist of the pitot-static and air data systems, the automatic
flight guidance and control system, and other associated avionics and communications systems. This chapter includes the standard avionics package available with the
exception of the automatic flight control system (AFCS). Information on the AFCS
will be handed out separately by the instructor. The user should consult applicable
supplements in the AFM and vendor manuals for additional information and information on specific systems not included in this chapter.

GENERAL
The pitot-static system includes three pitotstatic probes, six static air ports, and a ramair temperature sensor, which serve the air
data computers, selected airplane systems,
and associated pilot and copilot instruments.

The standard automatic flight guidance and


control system (AFGCS) includes the air data
system, the autopilot and flight director, the
inertial reference system, and the Sperry EFIS
electronic flight instrument system.

FlightSafety
international

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

Electrical power sources for the avionics are


listed at the end of this chapter under Electrical
Power Sources. Refer to Chapter 2, Electrical Power Systems, for additional information.

PITOT-STATIC SYSTEM
GENERAL
The pitot-static system serves the computers
of a Sperry air data system, the cabin
pressurization system, the stall warning and
identification system, a standby altimeter, a
standby Mach speed indicator, and the aileron
Q and elevator Arthur units.
Figure 16-1 shows the Falcon 900 pitot-static
system configured with the electric pilots
and copilots Mach speed indicators.

PITOT PRESSURE PROBES


Three identical pitot probes supply total pressure information to the three systems (pilot,
copilot, and standby). The probes supply separate, independent pressures as depicted in
Figure 16-1. The pilots and copilots pitot
probes (Figure 16-2) are located on each side
of the lower fuselage nose; the standby system probe is mounted directly below the
pilots probe.
Each probe is equipped with an anti-icing
heating resistor. Heating is controlled by three
switches on the overhead panel labeled
PILOT, COPILOT, and ST-BY. The
PILOT switch controls heating of the left pitot
probe, the left and right static pressure ports
(pilots and copilots), the left angle-of-attack sensor, and the temperature probe. The
COPILOT switch controls heating of the right
pitot probe, the right and left static pressure
ports (pilots and copilots), and the right
angle-of-attack sensor. The ST-BY switch
controls heating of the standby pitot tube only.
A defective power supply to a probe or sensor (with the exception of the temperature
probe) is indicated by illumination of the corresponding amber light on the warning panel
(See Chapter 10, Ice and Rain Protection,
for additional information).

Figure 16-2. Pitot Probes

Two drain ports are located at the lower aft section of each tube.

STATIC PRESSURE PORTS


The pilots and copilots static pressure ports
(Figure 16-3) are flush-mounted on each side
of the airplane nose. The left and right ports
of each independent system (pilots and copilots) are interconnected to reduce sideslip
effect. A flange at the rear of each port serves
to prevent port position error. Residual errors
are very slight, especially at low airspeeds. The
ports are thermally insulated from the airplane skin and are heated to prevent icing.
The standby static pressure ports are flushmounted on each side of the airplane nose forward of the pitot probes. The ports do not have
flanges and do not require anti-icing.

Indicated airspeed is displayed by a pointer


read against a circular airspeed scale which
ranges from 60 to 400 knots. A striped barber-pole pointer is set to display V MO . Mach
display is provided in a window in the range
from 0.1 to 0.99 in one-hundredth Mach increments. The indicator has two built-in monitoring circuitsone for IAS and the other for
V MO . The OFF flag comes into view in the
event of power supply failure or IAS data
error; the V MO flag comes into view in case
of a V MO error. The flags are not visible during normal operation.

Barometric pressure is set by turning the


BARO knob. The reference pressure set is
displayed on two countersthe left counter in
millibars and the right counter in inches of
mercury. The correction range is from 28 to
30.99 inches Hg (948 to 1,049 mb). An altitude warning light is located in the upper right
corner of the instrument to warn of deviation
from the preset altitude on the EFIS instrument
remote controller. An OFF flag appears on
the counter to indicate a defective power supply or faulty instrument operation.

VERTICAL SPEED INDICATORS

ALTIMETERS
The pilots and copilots altimeters receive inputs from ADC 1 and ADC 2, respectively.
They display altitude by means of a fourdrum counter and a pointer (Figure 16-8).
The extreme right (20-foot) drum displays
altitude in 20-foot increments, and the pointer
describes one complete revolution every 1,000
feet. At altitudes from 0 to 10,000 feet, the extreme left (10,000-foot) drum is covered by
a black-and-white striped screen.

16-6

The pilots vertical speed indicators (VSI)


are electrical and receive information from
their respective ADCs. Each indicator has
two semicircular scales gradated from 0 to 6
feet/minute X 1,000 (Figure 16-9). The pointer
indicates both the velocity and direction of the
vertical component of speed. An OFF flag
appears in the event of power failure or system malfunction detected by the ADC monitoring circuits.

ALTITUDE WARNINGS
The ADC which is selected to give information to the autopilot/flight director also gives
visual and audio warnings to the pilots that the
airplane is deviating from an altitude preset
on the EFIS instrument remote controller (RI).
The altitude preset on the RI is referenced to
1,013 mb corrected for altimeter error. If ADC
1 supplies information to the autopilot/flight
director, the reference altitude is that which is
displayed on the pilots electric altimeter. If
ADC 2 is selected to supply the information,
the reference altitude is that which is displayed
on the copilots electric altimeter. The selection of ADC 1 or ADC 2 for autopilot/flight director information is made on the autopilot/
flight director guidance controller.

V MO /M MO is indicated by the striped barber


pole on the Mach speed indicators. The warning signal is modulated with rising pitch for
one second.

VMO
V MO is linear between 350 and 370 knots from
sea level to 10,000 feet. From 10,000 to 25,000
feet the value is constant at 370 knots.

MMO
There are two airplane gross weight laws:
For gross weights over 35,000 pounds,
M MO is 0.87 from 25,000 to 33,000 feet.
It is 0.84 from 37,000 to 51,000 feet. Variation between these two points is linear.
For gross weights less than 35,000
pounds, M MO is 0.87 from 25,000 to
38,000 feet. It is 0.84 from 42,000 to
51,000 feet. Variation between these
two points is linear.
There are two possible installation configurations for M MO switching control:
A switch is located to the left of the copilots RMI; the pilot manually controls
switching.
A manual switch is not installed. FMS
computers control switching automatically once the gross weight falls below
35,000 pounds (provided that the initial airplane gross weight was input).
Both ADCs receive the switching signal.

SLAT MONITORING
AND CONTROL
Auto slat extension is inhibited by a signal
transmitted by either ADC speed contact when
IAS is greater than 265 knots. A second contact indicates whether IAS is less than or
greater than 280 knots. If there is a discrepancy between the 265- and 280-knot contacts,
a monitoring circuit causes the AUTO SLATS
light to illuminate.

16-10

AILERON Q AND ELEVATOR


ARTHUR UNIT CONTROL
The aileron Arthur Q unit receives control information from the standby pitot and static
pressure lines on aircraft SNs 165 and lower,
or from ADC 2 on aircraft SNs 165 to 178 and
ADC 1 on SNs 179 and subsequent.
The elevator Arthur unit receives signals from
both ADCs (speed higher than or equal to 210
knots). The speed contacts are used by the
logic circuit controlling the PITCH FEEL light
on the warning panel. The AIL FEEL light
comes on if the aileron Arthur Q unit returns
to the low-speed Arthur Q position but the
IAS is equal to or higher than 180 knots.

LANDING GEAR MONITORING


The speed contact in each ADC triggers the
landing gear warning voice and illuminates the
landing gear control handle light when IAS is
less than 160 knots, all three landing gears are
not in the downlocked position, and at least one
power lever is in the idle position.

HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
A speed contact, provided by ADC 1 only,
limits horizontal stabilizer upward deflection to 4 when IAS is greater than or equal
to 210 knots.

CABIN PRESSURE CONTROL


The automatic cabin pressure controller receives altitude and vertical speed data from
both ADCs.

TURBO COOLING
UNIT CONTROL
The turbo cooling unit bypass lines receive
speed data from both ADCs.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

AIR DATA COMPUTERS


(ADC)
GENERAL
Two ADCs are provided on the Falcon 900 as
standard equipment (See Figure 16-1). The
ADC uses static pressure information to determine pressure altitude. IAS is calculated by
processing dynamic pressure to determine p
(dynamic pressure equals total [pitot] pressure
minus static pressure). Static pressure and
differential pressure, together with the above
information, are corrected for static pressure
errors as a function of Mach. Each ADC also
uses total air temperature information.
Using static and total pressures and temperature, each ADC calculates the following:
Altitude
Indicated airspeed
Mach
Vertical component of speed

tive test pushbutton located on the pedestal.


The test signal causes the following preset
values to be displayed on the indicators linked
to the respective ADC:

Altitude............................ 1,000 feet


Vertical speed........ 5,000 feet/minute
IAS .................................. 350 knots
V MO ................................ 300 knots
Mach ........................................ 0.79
TAT ...................................... 16 C
SAT ...................................... 45 C
TAS .................................. 466 knots

In addition, the validity signals disappear, the


warning flags appear on the instruments, and
the speed contacts are triggered (as well as the
VMO warning contact), causing the VMO/MMO
audio warning to sound.
On the respective EADI the IAS flag appears
in a red box, Mach number displayed is 0.79,
and selected altitude is 12,000 feet.

Total air temperature

Automatic Power-Up Test

Static air temperature


Figure 16-15 illustrates the various inputs and
outputs of each ADC.

An automatic power-up test occurs when the


respective ADC is energized. This test is more
sophisticated than the permanent built-in monitoring system and causes the validity signals
to appear and the flags to disappear.

ADC MONITORING

ADC SWITCHING

All ADC pressure and computing circuits are


continuously monitored. Detection of an operational defect causes the validity signal of the
relevant system to be lost, after a five-second
delay, to avoid erratic warnings. The validity
signals which are part of the ADC outputs are
altitude, IAS, TAS, Mach, SAT, and TAT.

If an ADC fails, the associated instruments


which receive data from that unit will no longer
be operational unless they are switched to receive data from the other ADC. Also, the altitude mode of the ATC transponder linked to
the faulty ADC will be inoperative. In addition, the horizontal stabilizer deflection limit
system is lost with ADC 1 failure.

from the remaining ADC if the


IAS/Mach function on the corresponding EFIS reversion controller
is selected. Refer to EFIS Reversionary Switching for additional information.

ANGLE-OF-ATTACK
SYSTEM
The Teledyne angle-of-attack system senses
local angle of attack along with airplane flap
and slat position, converts these inputs into lift
information, and displays it on a normalized,
ten-gradation, zero (0) to one (1.0) dial (Figure
16-16). This display has zero lift placed at
zero on the dial, and the maximum usable lift
point, as defined by the AFM stall speed, is displayed as 1.0. In effect, the indicator presents
lift as a percentage. With flap and slat position information, the display is valid for all airplane configurations. Therefore, the system
continuously displays the margin to the maximum usable lift point (1.0), regardless of airplane weight, bank angle, G loading, or
airplane configuration.
The REF SET knob on the face of the AOA indicator manually positions the adjustable reference index and, at the same time, positions a
reference pointer located approximately opposite the adjustable reference index on the face
of the indicator. The adjustable reference index
can be moved to any position between .15 and
.70 on the percentage scale, or alternatively,
the reference pointer can be positioned to a
specific point on the V/V S scale. The relationship between the reference index provides
a cross-reference between V/V S ratio and normalized AOA scale points (i.e., setting the
reference pointer to V/V S 1.45, .52, etc.). For
a typical full-flap 1.3 V S approach, the V/V S
pointer is set to 1.3 by turning the REF SET
knob. Then, when the indicator pointer is centered in the adjustable reference index (by
changing pitch and power as required), the
AFM V REF will be obtained.

AUDIO PANELS
General

The MASK and CPIT positions do


not interlock with the other microphone pushbuttons.

The pilots and copilots audio panels are


mounted in the left and right side consoles, respectively (Figure 16-18). They control transmitting and receiving of all radios on the
Falcon 900. They are independent panels powered by separate buses (pilots, A2; copilots,
B2). Figure 16-19 graphically shows radio
and intercom connections.

Except for MASK and CPIT pushbuttons,


only one button can be depressed at a time in
the row of MICROPHONE buttons. When a
button is depressed, it connects the:

The audio panels installed are Baker mixer


units. They have two types of pushbuttons for
communication control:

Headset rail mike (MASK pushbutton released)

Interlocking pushbuttons for the MICROPHONE channels


Separate pushbuttons for the AUDIO
reception channels

Hand mike and integral push-to-talk


button

Mask mike (MASK pushbutton depressed)


The use of one of the push-to-talk buttons
causes reception muting.

NOTE
The headset rail mike and the mask
mike are controlled by the push-totalk button on the control wheel.

NOTE
Depressing PAGE or CABIN pushbuttons releases the previously selected pushbutton.

Microphone Channels
PAGE pushbuttonThis button is used for
public address in the passenger cabin. When
depressed, it causes reception muting in the

channels and directly connects the hand mike.


If the headset rail mike or the mask mike is to
be used, it is necessary to depress the push-totalk button on the control wheel.
MASK pushbuttonThis button does not interlock with the other mike pushbuttons. When
depressed, the headset rail mike is disconnected and the mask mike is connected.
CPIT pushbuttonThis button does not interlock with the other mike pushbuttons. When
depressed on both audio panels, the permanent
(hot mike) intercom is operative. The pilot and
copilot can talk using the rail or mask mikes
without depressing the push-to-talk button.
Reception is possible on headsets or over the
loudspeaker. A VHF or HF transmitter can remain connected; either the hand mike or the
control wheel push-to-talk button must be depressed to transmit. The modulation system
is operative.

Reception Channels
NOTE
More than one reception channel
pushbutton can be depressed at a time.

EMG pushbuttonWhen depressed, all the


selected reception channels are received directly in the headset, even if the SPK pushbutton is depressed.
SPK pushbuttonWhen depressed, all the
selected reception channels are broadcast
through the loudspeaker.
ST pushbuttonWhen the side tone (modulation control) pushbutton is depressed, the pilot
can control the modulation of the selected
VHF 1, VHF 2, VHF 3, HF 1, HF 2, or FM
transmitters. The public address side tone
(with PAGE depressed) and ground headset
side tone (with CABIN depressed) are direct.
Intercom is also direct and is adjusted by a potentiometer inside the mixer unit.

16-18

VOL knobThe volume knob is used to control the volume level on the selected reception
channels. It does not control the intercom,
side tone, and the MARKER and ADF receivers in the filter-off position.

NOTE
Individual adjustment of each receiver is carried out by means of the
controller potentiometer of the system concerned.

Navigation Channels
NAV 1, NAV 2 pushbuttonsVOR 1 or 2 is
directed to the mixer unit through the volume
knob of the controller. When depressed, the
signal level is amplified and adjusted by the
VOL knob (even if the FILT pushbutton on the
same row is depressed).
DME 1, DME 2 pushbuttonsWhen depressed, DME 1 or 2 is directed to the mixer
unit without volume adjustment. The signal
level is amplified and adjusted by the VOL
knob.
VHF 1, VHF 2, VHF 3, HF 1, HF 2, FM
pushbuttonsWhen depressed, the selected
signal is received by the mixer unit after volume adjustment in the corresponding controller. The signal level is then amplified;
volume adjustment is by the VOL knob.
ADF 1, ADF 2 pushbuttonsWhen depressed,
the signal is received by the mixer unit through
the volume control on the corresponding controller. It is amplified without adjustments by
the VOL knob; however, when the FILT pushbutton on the same row is also depressed, the
signal is adjusted by the VOL knob.

NOTE
For correct reception of ground stations in the A1 type of modulation
(pure sustained waves), the pilot sets
the OFF/ ANT/ADF/TONE selector
on the ADF 1 or 2 controller to the
TONE position.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

FILT pushbuttonsThe filter is used to eliminate the 1,020-Hz frequency from NAV and
ADF signals. There are two FILT pushbuttons: one, located between NAV 2 and DME
1, filters the VOR channels when depressed;
the second pushbutton, located between ADF
2 and DME 2, filters ADF only.
When the FILT pushbuttons are depressed,
the VOR and ADF signals are adjusted by the
VOL knob and can be attenuated. When they
are released, the VOR signals are adjusted by
the VOL knob and are attenuated by the muting system; the ADF signals are not adjusted
by the VOL knob but can be attenuated by the
muting system. The muting system is operational during VHF, HF, FM, or public address
transmissions (in the latter case, with the
PAGE pushbutton depressed).
MKR 1, MKR 2 pushbuttonsWhen depressed, the marker signals are received without volume adjustment by the mixer unit. The
signal level is not adjusted by the VOL knob
but can be attenuated by the muting system.

Muting System Operation


The muting system is operational during the
following transmissions:

CONTROL HEADS
General
The type of control heads installed in the Falcon 900 may vary with customer requirements
or preferences. They are normally located in
the center pedestal and include two NAVs,
two COMs, two ADFs, and two ATC transponders. This chapter describes those systems
which are typical to installation in the Falcon
900.

exchange takes place when the XFR switch is
actuated. The preset frequency becomes active,
and the active frequency is preset for instant
recall whenever needed. Direct tuning of the
active frequency is also included. Tuning of
50-kHz channels is possible without going
through the 25-kHz channels. However, each

Transponder Control
The CTL-92 ATC transponder control allows
variable rate, two-knob tuning and a pilot-selectable preset code. The transponder control
also alerts the pilot when an emergency code
has been selected by flashing the selected
code. This gives the pilot an opportunity to ensure that the code is correct before transmitting. The transponder control can also display
encoded altitude.

RADIO MAGNETIC INDICATOR


The bearing/relative bearing of an ADF 1 or
2 beacon is displayed on RMI 1 or 2 by means
of a single green pointer (ADF 1) or a double
yellow pointer (ADF 2). Source (ADF/VOR)
selectors 1 and 2 (Figure 16-20) are located on
the face of the instrument. The heading index
(lubber line) is at the top center. DME 1 and
2 digital readouts are displayed in two windows above the compass rose.

INTRODUCTION
The Falcon 900 oxygen system is supplied by a single high-pressure cylinder. Each crew
position has a quick-donning mask with a built-in regulator and microphone. Passenger
masks automatically drop out of overhead storage boxes when pressurization is lost, or
can be manually released. Passengers can receive two different pressures, depending on
the setting on a controller on the copilots console. Two first-aid outlets are also provided in the cabin.
The water system provides potable water to the galley, the mid-cabin bar, and the washbasin in the lavatory compartment. Wastewater is expelled through drain masts on the
bottom of the fuselage.
The self-contained chemical toilet has its own water reservoir and is serviced from a
panel on the bottom of the fuselage.

FALCON 900 PILOT TRAINING MANUAL

OXYGEN SYSTEM

Cylinder High-Pressure Gage

GENERAL

A high-pressure gage near the cylinder reads


cylinder pressure. Its circular dial has a white
range graduated from 0 to 150 bars and a green
range extending from 0 to 2,200 psi.

The oxygen system uses gaseous oxygen stored


in a high-pressure cylinder and provides crewmembers and passengers with low-pressure
oxygen as required. There are three separate
systems: crew, passengers, and first-aid.
The oxygen supply system consists of a highpressure cylinder fitted with a pressurer e d u c i n g v a l v e , a s h u t o ff v a l v e , a f i l l e r
connection, two high-pressure gages, and an
oxygen controller on the copilots console.
Except for the controller and the high-pressure
gage mounted on it, all of the components are
located under the left cabin floor, aft of the passenger floor (Figure 17-1).

Oxygen Cylinder
The high-pressure oxygen cylinder has a total
capacity of 2,200 litres (NTPD) under 1,850 psi
(127.5 bars) at 21C. Minimum usable pressure
is 170 psi (12 bars). An optional oxygen cylinder
with a total capacity of 3,310 litres is also
available.

Pressure-Reducing Valve
The pressure-reducing valve functions to reduce
the oxygen pressure to 70 psi (4.8 bars) for use in
the passenger and crew low-pressure systems. A
90-psi safety valve prevents overpressurization in
the low-pressure system. The pressure-reducing
valve also incorporates a blowout disc sensing
cylinder pressure. The disc is calibrated to
rupture at 2,750 to 3,050 psi (191 to 213 bars).

Mounted on the PASSENGER OXYGEN controller, the gage has a rectangular dial graduated from 0 to 2,200 psi. It has a red range from
0 to 200 psi, an amber range from 200 to 700
psi, and another amber range from 2,000 to
2,200 psi.
The red range indicates low oxygen quantity
in the cylinder; if oxygen is required, an
immediate descent must be initiated. The
amber range from 200 to 700 psi with 700 psi
(at 21C) representing the minimum required
cylinder pressure for two crewmembers without passengers on board. This minimum pressure of 700 psi permits an oxygen reserve of
two hours for each crewmember. Takeoff must
not be undertaken with an oxygen pressure of
less than 700 psi at an ambient temperature of
21C (70F). At this point, the pilots may have
to isolate the passenger oxygen system.
Considering the size of the oxygen cylinder,
this situation could only occur if there is a
leak in the passenger system or if the cylinder was insufficiently serviced prior to flight.
The second amber range (2,000 to 2,200 psi)
indicates that the oxygen pressure exceeds
the pressure rating of the cylinder. Cylinder
pressure must be monitored, or reduced if necessary, to prevent blowout threshold pressure.

CREW SYSTEM

Shutoff Valve
When the shutoff valve on the cylinder is closed,
the supply system is vented through the pressure
reducer on aircraft not incorporating SB F900110. This valve must be open prior to flight, as
access is not possible with the main entrance
door closed, and should be shut off if a long
stopover between flights is anticipated.

17-2

Copilots High-Pressure Gage

Oxygen Mask Boxes


An oxygen mask box (Figure 17-2) is installed
on both the pilots and copilots consoles.
When open, the center part of the mask regulator protrudes, enabling the pilot to quick-don
the mask. The lower portion of the box also
has receptacles for the oxygen hose and the microphone jack. A third crewmembers mask is
stowed in a box in the cabin ceiling.

Crew Masks
The crew masks (Figure 17-2) are classified
as quick-donning masks because they can be
put on with one hand within five seconds.
Oxygen is supplied at a pressure of 70 psi (4.8
bars), and the mask incorporates a flow regulator to supply either a diluted mixture or
100% pure oxygen.
The regulator commands oxygen in two modes:
dilution (regulator control flipper in the N position below 30,000 feet) or pure oxygen (regulator flipper in N above 30,000 feet or in 100%
at any altitude). An overpressure feature ensures satisfactory oxygen supply up to 51,000
feet. The masks are fitted with a built-in, compensated, breath-out valve, a harness inflation control, a test button, and a microphone.
A device located on the upper part of the mask
allows pressurization of the smoke goggles
through a venting orifice.
Smoke goggles are provided for protection
against smoke and noxious fumes.

Donning Crew Mask and


Smoke Goggles
To don the crew mask, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the headset (if worn).
2. Firmly grasp the red ears between the
thumb and forefinger, and remove the
mask from its box. The harness inflates
automatically.
3. While bending down, place the mask
over your head and slide the harness on
your neck. Raise your head to slide the
mask down. If glasses are worn, press the
harness against your neck to keep it
away from your face while sliding it
down. When the red ears are released,
the harness deflates, pulling the mask
against your face. No further adjustment of the harness is required; it adapts
automatically to your face.

After a descent, or when the airplane returns


to approximately 15,000 feet, check that the
regulator is in N (normal, dilution). With the
mask on, the N100% flipper cannot be seen;
therefore, move your right hand along the
mask and then along the regulator until the red
ear is felt. The N100% flipper is behind this
ear. It will be in normal when it is aligned and
in 100% when pushed. Operate the flipper
with your thumb and forefinger.
For protection against smoke and noxious
gases, don the mask as indicated above and
then put on the smoke goggles (Figure 17-3).

REMOVE FROM BOX.

DON THE MASK. IF WEARING GLASSES, KEEP MASK AWAY


FROM FACE WHILE SLIDING IT DOWN.

Ensure the oxygen cylinder shutoff valve is


open, and check cylinder pressure. With the
mask donned, breathe with the regulator set
first at N and then at 100%. Depress the test
button on the mask to provide an overpressure
check. Test the microphone for proper operation. With the regulator still at 100%, remove and stow the mask.
To test the mask without removal from the
box, hold the red ears between your thumb
and forefinger. The mask can be felt inflating
and a hissing sound can be heard. With the
audio control unit microphone switch in
MASK, press the test button on the mask. A
hissing noise will be heard in the headset.
Move the flipper to 100%, and repeat the test.
Leave the flipper in the 100% position.

LOWER SIDES OF GOGGLE FRAME.
PUSH THE GOGGLES DOWNWARD.

Emergency Escape Breathing


Device
Since the baggage compartment is accessible
during flight, an emergency escape breathing
device incorporating an oxygen generator is
provided. The device permits inspection of
the compartment in the event of fire that may
produce poisonous smoke or fumes.

automatically reduced to 19 psi. This twopressure mode of operation saves oxygen, as


compared with a fixed-pressure reducing
valve, and is less complex than an altituderelated controller.

PASSENGER OXYGEN
Controller
The controller (Figure 17-5) provides manual
or automatic operation of the passenger oxygen system. It is supplied with oxygen regulated at 70 psi. Below 16,000 feet, it delivers
oxygen at 19 psi (1.3 bars); above 16,000
feet, it provides 70 psi (4.8 bars) oxygen pressure. Between the altitudes of 11,500 and
16,000 feet, initial pressure is 70 psi for 5 seconds in order to release the masks, then it is

The controller features a selector knob for selection of NORMAL, OVERRIDE, FIRST

Passenger Mask Boxes


Each passenger mask box (Figure 17-7) houses
a passenger mask and is equipped with a dual
pressure-operated latch, an internal door to
maintain the mask in the stowed position, and
a magnet-held cover.
Rated operating pressure of the latch is 29 to
58 psi (2 to 4 bars). It is not actuated when the
system is operating in the low-pressure mode
(19 psi). If the latch fails to actuate automatically, the cover can be manually removed.
Cover removal, automatic or manual, allows
the mask to drop out.
The dual mask box in the lavatory houses two
masks. When oxygen pressure builds to 70

psi, the latch is actuated to open the cover and


release the internal door. An elastic strap
pushes the masks out, where they hang in view
of the passengers.

Passenger Masks
The passenger mask (Figure 17-7) consists of
a nosepiece and a mouthpiece incorporating
a breath-in/breath-out valve, and an additional
air valve. Oxygen is supplied through a oneliter economizer bag. The constant flow rate
of the mask is regulated by a nozzle integral
with the mask box valve. Flow rate depends
on the supply pressure. At 70 psi, the flow
rate is 2.8 to 3 liters per minute; at 19 psi, 0.725
to 0.875 liters per minute.

After the mask is deployed, it is held by a


cord secured to a pin that keeps the oxygen
valve closed. Pulling on the mask opens the
valve to provide oxygen flow.

The CLOSED position shuts off oxygen supply to all masks; the system then supplies only
the crew.
To reset the system, set selector to NORMAL.
PASS ON indicator should go out, indicating
proper operation of the system.

First-Aid Masks
The two first-aid masks are similar to the passenger masks. They are adjusted at the mask
connection for flow rates of 2 to 4 liters per
minute. These masks are to be plugged into the
special connectors in the roof of the cabin
(Figure 17-5) and are used to assist passengers
requiring oxygen for medical reasons.

Operation
With the PASSENGER OXYGEN controller
selector knob in NORMAL or FIRST AID
(Figure 17-6), the mask falls into view if
cabin pressure altitude is above 11,500 (750)
feet. With the NORMAL position selected,
oxygen is available at 19 psi with a cabin altitude of approximately 11,500 (750) to
16,000 (+200 or 150) feet (70 psi above
16,000 feet). The PASS ON indicator is halfopen during low-pressure operation (19 psi)
and fully open at 70 psi.
Moving the selector knob to FIRST AID does
not open any of the passenger mask boxes, but
oxygen is made available to the first-aid masks.
The automatic function is retained. In case of
automatic system failure, FIRST AID should
be selected at cabin pressure altitude lower
than 18,000 feet, after setting the controller selector knob to OVERRIDE to allow the masks
to deploy.The passenger masks can also be
supplied at 19 psi after the OVERRIDE position is selected.
When cabin pressure altitude returns to below
11,500 feet, the pilot should set the selector
knob to CLOSED.
The OVERRIDE position, used if the automatic system fails, provides mask box opening, deployment of the passenger masks, and
high-pressure oxygen (70 psi) to the masks.
The PASS ON indicator shows fully open.

The system and air accumulator, located in


the aft lavatory area, are pressurized by regulated engine or APU bleed air or through an
air charging valve (shop air) located in the
left baggage compartment side panel. A pressure gage on this panel indicates accumulator
tank pressure. The accumulator does not require a full charge of air pressure to operate
the system; however, the greater the accumulator air pressure, the greater the amount of
water that can be delivered prior to engine
start.

POTABLE WATER
SYSTEM (SNS 4 AND
SUBSEQUENT)
GENERAL
The potable water system stores water in a
14.5-gallon (55-liter) water tank (Figure 1711), located beneath the aft lavatory vanity, for
distribution of water under pressure to the aft
vanity, forward galley, and optional forward
lavatory if installed.

system control panel and then into the top of the


tank. Water tank pressure is also indicated on a
pressure gage in the vanity panel.
Water from the tank is routed through a supply on-off valve and is made available to the
aft vanity, forward galley, and optional forward lavatory. After an engine is started, a
constant air pressure source is available from
the bleed-air system. Hot water under pressure is available to the vanity sinks, provided
the hot water circuit breakers behind the aft
lavatory toilet seat and on the center cockpit
overhead panel are engaged.

Tank Filling
The tank can be filled from inside the airplane
through the filler neck. Before moving the
cap, pressing down on the cap relieves air
pressure. The fill and vent valve ports are
used for filling the tank from an outside water
source. A push-pull handle in the external servicing panel in the aft left wing root fairing
actuates the valve.

Draining
Prior to draining the storage tank, trip the
heater circuit breakers, close the air shutoff
valve, and open the forward and aft vanity
supply valves. If tank pressure drops to zero,
vent the system by pulling the push-pull handle to open the fill and vent valve.

WATER WASTE SYSTEM


Disposal of water waste is provided for the
lavatory compartment washbasin, the bar unit,
and the water tank. Figure 17-8 shows drainage
from these areas through drain masts protected by anti-icing heating elements.
The water tank is gravity-drained through a
vent pipe leading to the service panel. Opening
the drain shutoff valve beneath the tank and
the outside drain valve drains the system
through the drain mast. A security device
(Figure 17-12) prevents accidental opening
of the two valves in flight.
The toilet unit includes a drain pan containing 9.6 U.S. gallons (36 liters) of water
(Figure 17-13).
A drain valve is connected by a sealed tube to
a drain port beneath the fuselage. A lever can
be actuated to manually open the drain valve
when disposal of toilet waste is required. The
flushing port is used to flush the drain pan
and to refill it when necessary.
Complete instructions for toilet system draining and servicing are found in Chapter/Section
38-310 of the Maintenance Manual.

FALCON 900 A-B NORMAL PROCEDURES CHECKLIST

INTRODUCTION
The operating procedures of this section have been developed with specific
regard for the design features and operating characteristics of the MYSTEREFALCON 900 airplane.
They have been approved by the DGAC for guidance in identifying acceptable
procedures for safe operation.
Observance of these procedures is not mandatory and DGAC approval of
such procedures is not intended to prohibit or discourage development and
use of improved or equivalent alternate procedures based on operational
experience with the airplane. When alternate procedures are used, full
responsibility for compliance with applicable airworthiness safety standards
rests with the operator.
When an electronic system is used to display all procedures of this Manual
or adapted procedures, the operator remains responsible for the content,
for use and updating of this system.
The checks preceded by (*) are to be performed once a day.

PREFLIGHT EXTERIOR INSPECTION


The exterior inspection is presented as a checklist and should be performed
just before entering the aircraft for the flight.
If flight is delayed, exterior inspection will have to be made again.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Compliance with the order prescribed for application of these procedures
is recommended. Where more than one phase is specified:
PHASE I

Specifies immediate action to be accomplished without the


need for reference to the checklist.

PHASE II Items shall be completed only after PHASE I items have been
completed by checklist.
PHASE III Items shall be completed as soon as time permits.
AURAL WARNINGS shall be identified before silencing. Eliminating these
aural warnings will enable better coordination during the accomplishment of
the emergency procedures.

ABNORMAL PROCEDURES
Procedures in this section address foreseeable situations involving failures,
in which the systems redundancy or selection of an alternate system will
maintain an acceptable level of air worthiness.
I. IMMEDIATE ACTIONThere are no memory items involved with
these procedures.
When a failure occurs, the crew should assess its priority in
relationship to the immediate effect on aircraft controllability
and the continuance of the planned flight path.
Procedures that could have an immediate effect, but involve actions
that are fundamental to basic airmanship are:

Air Data System FailuresRefer to standby instruments or


transfer control.

Engine Vibration (Actual)Reduce Thrust.

Pitch Trim RunawayOverride or disconnect.

II. SPECIFIC PRIORITIESWhere there is no immediate action


required, it is advisable to complete a Normal Checklist if in progress
or due, prior to calling for the Abnormal Checklist.
Because of the interrelationship of systems, a failure in one can
have an effect on other systems.
The system that can produce multiple annunciations are (1) Engine,
(2) Electric, (3) Hydraulic and should be dealt with in priority as
numbered.
