Nice Air Operation Procedure PA-34 Seneca
Engine
Make : Avco Lycoming
Model:
Right Engine LIO-360 C1E6(turning counter clockwise from the cockpit)
Left Engine
Type:
•
4 cylinders
•
Horizontally opposed
•
Normally aspirated(No turbo charge)
•
Air cooled (Engine oil and fuel helps cooling)
•
Direct drive(Propeller is attached to the crank shaft directly without any reduction gear or trans-
mission)
•
Fuel injected
Horsepower: 200 BHP
Alternate air: Working as a carburetor heat. Heated air around exhaust manifold is directed through the alternate
air source. RPM drops slightly when it is open.
Cowl flap: Manually operated. There are three positions; open, half and closed.
Propeller
Make: Hartzell
Model:
Type: Constant speed, full feathering propeller
What is a constant speed prop?
The propeller which maintains the RPM selected by propeller control lever constant regardless of air-
plane's pitch attitude or throttle position within some range.
The advantage of a constant speed prop.
The pilot can select the most efficient blade angle for each phases of operation. By selecting low pitch/
high RPM, you can get maximum power for takeoff. By selecting high pitch/low RPM, you can fly
faster at low RPM and you can save the fuel for cruise.
How does it work?
When the airplane rise it's nose, it start climb. As it climb, airspeed goes down. The RPM is also going

  • Page 2 Nice Air Operation Procedure PA-34 Seneca down due to increasing drag on the blade. However, blade angle is decreased automatically to reduce the drag to maintain the RPM constant. When the airplane drops it’s nose, it start to descend. As it descend, airspeed will increase. The RPM is also increased due to decreasing drag on the blade.
  • Page 3 Nice Air Operation Procedure PA-34 Seneca running? No. There is anti-feather lock pin which prevent the prop from feathering below, 800RPM. When the RPM is high, the pin hide inside sleeve due to centrifugal force. When the RPM is low, the spring push out the pin to stop the movement of the prop.

    Nice Air Operation Procedure PA-34 Seneca How can you make sure you have correct fuel? Color. 100 is green. 100 LL is blue. Landing gear Type of the landing gear? Tri-cycle, retractable. How does it work? It is electrical-hydraulic system. Pilot can select the position(up/down) by the gear handle. The electri- cal motor rotate the hydraulic pump which send the hydraulic fluid from reservoir to three actuators.

And gear unsafe light (red) illuminates The gear will not go up because of the squat switch located on the left main gear strut. What would you do if you don’t see green light after you move the gear handle down? Check master switch on, circuit breaker in, push the light bulb for test, switch the light bulb, turn the navigation light off(navigation light dims green lights).
  • Page 6 Nice Air Operation Procedure PA-34 Seneca How can you detect the alternator failure? What would you do then? One or both load meters indicate zero. If only one indicates zero, turn off the other one to make sure it is working. If both indicate zero, check master switch on, circuit breaker, recycle alternator. If it still indicate zero, turn off the master switch to conserve the battery.
