pjvr99 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Need to run your sync box, but can almost guarentee fault is on #1 or #2 valve housing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Saikojer, did you replace the the pump housing? How long does it take to go from REV to feather using the aux pump? Wondering if you're pump housing is bypassing pressure between the two sumps (pressurized and atmospheric). This might keep you from changing (increasing) blade angles.

NATOPS1 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 " *Throttle already at FLIGHT IDLE, TQ remain : 1.40 lbs. -After about 10 sec TQ increase to 3.4lbs." It sounds like you are not producing pressure. Agree with Fred change the pump housing. If the blade angle does not change due to low pump pressure your prop will overspeed every single time. (If you have removed your syncrophaser from the rack and have the same indications in Mech) Question is it a normal practice to run two engines to high power with the others shutdown? Can you tell me what is the normal engine oil pressure is for your aircraft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjvr99 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 My bad, just saw prop changed and assumed the pump housing was changed too. it does look like a bad pump housing. Run it again, but this time have your right seater hold the condition in air start. the extra pressure from the aux feather pump should make it better .....

saikojer Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Pjvr99 : What's that sync box? FredG : Previously we also suspect the pump housing was the culprit due to unable regulate and give correct pressure to change prop blade angle according to the throttle position. After done with propeller replacement with the new Valve Housing (TSO : 0 Hrs) we still faced with the same problem.ONE more thing is, the blade angle still will change according to throttle position, but the time taken for blade angle changing was TOO SLOW and since the TQ was TOO LOW while the ENGINE drive the propeller on HIGH SPEED that's why we suspect the cause of RPM overshoot due to Engine speed was not COUNTERED by the correct TORQUE which produced by the propeller. NATOPS1 : Not a normal practice to run 2 engine, but it was just to verify on the problem, after done with a rectification, and my concern was it must be symmetrical engine to make a comparison and to avoid from aircraft swing. While the NORMAL engine OIL pressure : according to our limitation 50 - 60 psi. Indicate around 55 psi normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjvr99 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Syncrophaser test box. You changed a dome on its own .... dome is matched to the hub and blade assembly - not a good thing to do. still sound like an internal leak somewhere. When you changed the prop did you change the pitch lock regulator and the prop barrel nut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkuest Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 With high sustained RPM above flight idle, the cause is almost always with the propeller. The prop acts as an air brake to slow the engine down. In this case, the propeller is not slowing the engine down as much as needed. As the RPM increases roughly 5% above 100%, the fuel control realizes that the propeller is malfunctioning, then kicks in to cut fuel until the engine no longer accelerates higher. This is why you have high RPM with low torque and TIT. It all fits with a propeller failure, whether it is rigging, synchrophaser, valvehousing, pumphousing, or internal leakage. I have read some very good responses here, and I would recommend you heed all of them. You cannot replace just the dome by itself. Not only will your feather blade angle not be 100% calibrated, but your incorrect gear backlash may cause irreparable damage to the propeller blade gearing, and I wouldn't want to see that fail in-flight. I do recommend physically removing the synchrophaser prior to the run as NATOPS has suggested. This is because the synchrophaser is sending out two signals to the Speed Bias servo motor, a control input, and a reference signal. Selecting Mechanical governing only disconnects the reference, so if there is a significant malfunction with the Synchrophaser, it could change RPM, even in mechanical. Slow throttle anticipation and low pitch stop not retracting are both consistent with inadequate hydraulic system pressure, either caused by bad pumps or damaged/missing seals. I would like to note that a significant cause of maintenance issues is other maintenance. You have listed many things that you have done. It is somewhat likely that someone forgot/damaged a seal on buildup. If you kept the same pump housing through all of this, you may have damaged the small seals while pressing the pump housing onto the new prop rotating assembly. The same guy that built up the original propeller may have made the same mistakes with the new one. There's just so much that could've gone wrong with the maintenance that could easily explain the issues you are still having. My recommendation would be to install a propeller that you know works on #4 position, and work from there. There is just no way an engine can cause high RPM with low TIT, unless the rigging is very faulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saikojer, It sounds like the fuel scheduling is good. The RPM increases all the way up to 104.4% because of a lower blade angle. Then, eventually the torque increases to NORMAL (matches symmetrical engine). Does the RPM decrease (matching symmetrical engine) as the torque increases? Your low pitch stop problem: You may not have a low pitch stop problem. Push the throttle to crossover and give the propeller angle more time to increase past 25 degrees (match torque with the symmetrical engine) before retarding the throttle back toward FI. The blades may need more time to increase the pitch. What is the torque at crossover? You mention above that it's 1,400 in lbs but, doesn't it eventually increase?

NATOPS1 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The only component I can fathom other than the pump housing is the pitchlock regulator itself. The pitchlock regulator could be restricting the prop fluid (which is what it is designed to do in an overspeed) the propeller does not come with a regulator so it would have been reused for each maintenance action you have done to date.

Parker Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 someone mentioned why you had to run 2 engines .... you have to run symmetrical engines at power or you'll slide the nose (sideways) oh I no it's not but - high rpm, low TIT, low Torque, fuel whatever ...did it decouple?
