Section 7 describes the aircraft systems and their operation.

  • Page 58: Flight Controls

    Selkirk College IATPL Program Manual The nose baggage compartment can be accessed through a hatch on the right side of the nose cone. Care must be taken to securely close this hatch before flight to prevent it opening. If the hatch does open in flight the airplane will fly normally. A minor buffeting and some noise may arise, but the pilot should avoid distraction from these and land when safe to inspect for damage.

  • Page 59: Flaps

    Selkirk College IATPL Program Manual The controls are operated through push-pull rods and standards closed-circuit cable systems. The Selkirk College Travelairs are equipped with the optional dual control column and dual rudder pedals. All four rudder pedals have master brake cylinders. The rudder pedals can be folded down flat against the floor.

  • Page 60: Power Plants

    Selkirk College IATPL Program Manual When removing the control lock pilots must hold the control column to prevent gravity from “slamming” the column forward. Power Plants The Travelair is powered by two Lycoming IO-360-B1B engines rated at 180 BHP each, at 2700 rpm and 29 inches of manifold pressure.

  • Page 61: Cowl Flaps

    Selkirk College IATPL Program Manual Cowl Flaps Airflow through the pressure cowling is controllable by cowl flaps mounted on the lower trailing edge of each cowl. Each cowl flap is operated by an electric actuator, which can fully open or close the cowl flap. Intermediate cowl flap positions are not possible. An electric switch on the Pilot sub-panel controls each cowl flap.

  • Page 62: Fuel System

    Selkirk College IATPL Program Manual Fuel System The Travelair fuel system consists of a separate identical fuel supply system for each engine. Each wing contains one Main tank and one Auxiliary tank (Aux.) GSAK is also equipped with one nacelle tank in each wing but these are not serviceable and will not be discussed here other than to say that the selectors for the nacelle tanks must be left in the off position to prevent any contamination in the nacelle tanks from entering the Main tanks.
  • Page 63 Selkirk College IATPL Program Manual The fuel system has eight drains (plus two nacelle tank drains on GSAK.) On each wing there is a Main tank drain, Auxiliary tank drain, fuel strainer drain, and fuel selector (crossfeed) drain. The Main tank drain is directly below each main tank and removes water that may have accumulated at the bottom of the Main fuel tank.

  • Page 64: Gear

    Selkirk College IATPL Program Manual The above diagram shows the location of all the fuel systems drains. It also shows vent line routing and the location of all check valves. Gear The gear is electrically operated tricycle landing gear. The gear is operated through push- pull tubes by a reversible electric motor and actuator gearbox under the front seat.
