UPGRADE DIFFERENCES Page 5 TFE 731-4-1C The Premier Aircraft, LLC Mystere-Falcon 50 Dash 4 engine upgrade converts the existing Honeywell TFE 731-3/3D-1C Turbo Fan Engines to TFE 731-4-1C Turbo Fan Engines. The TFE 731-4-1C engine features a 3.3% reduction in thrust specific fuel consumption (TSFC) and a 13.7% increase in thrust at cruise altitude, and is designed to provide increased performance, and improved durability/reliability and maintainability. The TFE 731-3/3D-1C to TFE 731-4-1C conversion is accomplished in accordance with Honeywell Service Bulletin TFE 731-72-3703. N1 DEECs, installed in accordance with STC ST01007CH-D, are required to accomplish the TFE 731-4-1C conversion. TFE 731-4-1C design improvements include: Aerodynamically Enhanced Fan Improved Fan Gearbox Improved 4 th Stage LPC Seal High Technology HP Compressor Enhanced HP and LP Turbines 1.62 PR Fan Ass y Low Solidity Stator 4th Stage LPC Disc & Seal TFE731-5 HPC/Deswirl TFE731-5 Combustor System TFE731-5B HPT Ass y TFE731-4-1C Helical Fan Gear Box TFE731-5B LPT Ass y N1 DEEC Control TFE731-3-1C
UPGRADE DIFFERENCES Page 6 TFE 731-4-1C design improvements include (cont.): New compound exhaust nozzles Modified Existing Fan Duct inner Skins Replace long co-annular core pipe with new short Compound Core Nozzle No change to aircraft aft body Engine specifics: Engine weight, including the N1 DEEC, is increased by 68 lb Take-off thrust, flat rated by the N1 DEEC, is 3,700 lb (S.L., Static) up to 32.8ºC (i.e., ISA+17.8ºC) Maximum cruise thrust at 40,000 feet, M0.80 is 929 lb The TSFC is 0.518 lb/lb/hr (Takeoff, S.L., Static) and 0.796 lb/lb/hr (40,000 feet, M0.80) N1 DEECs are upgraded with TFE 731-4-1C power set tables
UPGRADE DIFFERENCES Page 7 Improved engine maintenance intervals: TFE 731-3-1C TFE 731-4-1C MPI: 1,400 hrs MPI: 2,500 hrs CZI: 4,200 hrs CZI: 5,000 hrs DIGITAL ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL Each DEEC is controlled by a two position ON/OFF switch and a SPR push button. The ON position will provide normal DEEC operation. The OFF position will provide HMU overspeed protection (flyweight governor) only. The Start Pressure Regulator (SPR) push button function is deactivated with the N1 DEEC installation. Fuel enrichment during cold weather engine starts is now automatically controlled by the DEEC. Now, the SPR switch has two DEEC functions: Pilot Event Switch for the Engine Condition Trend Monitoring System (ECTM) Powered Manual Mode Enable Switch DEEC switch: ON: all DEEC functions available ON powered manual mode enabled: ultimate overspeed protection and fault monitoring available (During a powered manual mode start with required DEEC parameters met, an overspeed shutoff test will be accomplished at 40% N 2. Test is indicated by a momentary drop in fuel flow at 40% N 2.) OFF: no DEEC functions available, HMU limiting is available (HMU limiting at 105% N 2) SPR push button: Pilot Event switch (momentary activation of the SPR switch will record pertinent data in the DEEC s ECTM data buffer) Powered Manual Mode enable switch (depressed while cycling the DEEC switch OFF then ON sets powered manual mode)
UPGRADE DIFFERENCES Page 8 DEEC I/O INPUTS From the engine/hmu: N 1, N 2, ITT, Pt 2, Tt 2 PLA From DEEC static pressure ports: (located in the rear equipment bay) Ps0 (With a Ps0 input all DEEC power settings are corrected for Mach number) OUTPUTS HMU torque motor Surge bleed valve (1/3 or full open) IGN control/start termination (Start termination N 2 =45%) Auto start enrichment (ITT<200º C, N 2 <35%) N 1, N 2 overspeed protection (~107% N 1, ~109% N 2 ) ITT limiting (Fuel flow regulated so ITT won t exceed 924ºC at max climb PLA or 952ºC at takeoff PLA) Determination of N 1 for takeoff, climb, max cruise and flight idle RS422 data bus for data download DEEC POWERED MANUAL MODE When a fault transfers the DEEC to manual mode Ultimate Overspeed protection remains available as long as the DEEC switch remains ON. If engine operational stability does not permit the DEEC switch to remain ON only HMU overspeed protection (flyweight governor) will be available. It is possible to regain Ultimate Overspeed protection by accomplishing the following procedure: Place the DEEC switch in the OFF position, Depress and hold the SPR switch, Place the DEEC switch in the ON position, Continue to hold the SPR switch for 3 to 5 seconds and then release. The CMPTR annunciator will remain illuminated (in flight steady, on ground flashing then steady). The DEEC is now in powered manual mode. To dispatch the airplane with one DEEC inoperative that DEEC must be placed in powered manual mode and then an automatic overspeed test must be successfully accomplished during the powered manual mode engine start. During the start, fuel is interrupted briefly at 40% N2 by automatic activation of the DEEC overspeed solenoid. A slight N2 RPM droop will be observed followed by normal engine acceleration. The slight N2 RPM droop must be confirmed visually on the engine instruments. NOTES A Ferry Permit is required to dispatch an airplane with one DEEC inoperative. The airplane must be operated in accordance with ANNEX 3 or ANNEX 5 of the Honeywell Digital Electronic Engine Controls (DEEC) AFM Supplement, Doc. No. AFMS220, Rev. B (or later approved revision).
UPGRADE DIFFERENCES Page 9 DEEC and rigging functions associated with POWER LEVER ANGLE: PLA -2º to 5º: The HMU fuel cutoff and min travel hard stop PLA 20º: The HMU rigging pin location and idle hard stop PLA 20º to 26º Idle power range: The DEEC varies N 1 to meet a thrust schedule based on ambient conditions. Idle thrust varies between approximately 210 and 310 lb. (corrected for Mach number and limited by the underspeed governor). PLA 64º to 66º: Bleed surge valve closes with increasing PLA and opens with decreasing PLA PLA 90º to 95º, Cruise power: The DEEC sets N1 for maximum cruise for the current ambient conditions (Pt 2, Tt 2, Ps 0 ) corrected for Mach number PLA 100º to 105º, Climb power: The DEEC sets N1 for climb based on ambient conditions (Pt 2, Tt 2, Ps 0 ) corrected for Mach number. PLA 107º, ITT (T 5 ) limiter reset: When the power levers are 107º PLA the DEEC resets the ITT limiter 28ºC (952ºC to 924ºC). Regardless of power lever position, the DEEC ramps the ITT limiter 28ºC (952ºC to 924ºC) between 15,000 feet and 20,000 feet. PLA 117º to 122º: Take-off power range: The DEEC sets N1 for take-off based on ambient conditions (Pt 2, Tt 2, Ps 0 ) corrected for Mach number. Since take-off N1 is a minimum N1 the DEEC will schedule N1 0.25% to 0.75% above take-off N1. This, to assure take-off performance is achieved. PLA 120º to 122º: The HMU max PLA hard stop Intermediate PLAs: At all other PLAs, thrust is set proportional to power lever position corrected for ambient conditions ENGINE CONDITION TREND MONITORING Using imbedded ECTM software, the DEEC continuously monitors the necessary engine parameters during engine operation and periodically stores those data in data buffers within the DEEC. At anytime following engine start, if the pilot observes abnormal engine operation, a momentary activation of the SPR switch for the corresponding engine will record pertinent data in the DEEC data buffer. Using a laptop with TFE-731 ECTM Data Downloader software, the data buffers can be downloaded for evaluation of engine usage and determination of required maintenance actions. When an event occurs that requires an ECTM data download or when the ECTM data buffers are full a slowly flashing CMPTR 1, CMPTR 2 or CMPTR 3 annunciator will illuminate on the ground after engine shutdown. Honeywell recommends downloading ECTM data every three flights for optimum performance trend data. Sufficient ECTM data buffer capacity exists to store data for 50 flights.
UPGRADE DIFFERENCES Page 10 THRUST REVERSER The thrust reverser control lever mechanical stop is set at 79º PLA (measured on the #2 power lever potentiometer). This setting equates to a maximum reverse thrust N 1 setting of approximately 80% N 1. Fan stall may occur at full reverse thrust particularly when operating at colder ambient temperatures. If fan stall, characterized by an audible chugging, occurs reduce N1 by 5%.
