Engine air inlet ducts are further protected by installation of inertial separators.

Icing warning is provided from an annunciator light in the cockpit and a visual icing indicator externally mounted on the fuselage.

 

Heating and Ventilation

 

The heating system uses engine bleed air, and is provided with both automatic and manual selection/control of the cabin air temperature. Warm air is distributed through floor-level outlets in cabin and cockpit, and additionally through two air outlets directed onto cockpit side windows. Passenger cabin ventilation system is supplied with cold air from airscoops on the engine nacelles. Cool air is distributed through overhead ducts to individual airblow ports provided for each passenger seat and installed in the cabin ceiling sections.

Cockpit is ventilated with air scooped from two intakes on both sides of the fuselage nose, and ducted to floor-installed outlets. The cockpit is also equipped with two ventilation fans.

 

Air-Conditioning (option)

 

The electrical-powered air conditioner unit, with provision for either starter-generator or ground power supply, ensures cockpit and cabin air temperature reduction (even with engines OFF) of 10 to 12oC for ambient temperatures ranging from 30 to 40oC.

The air conditioner unit of 20,000 BTU capacity uses HFC-13A refrigerant as working fluid.

Air is scooped from the cabin rear by ventilation fans, cooled down in the two heat-exchanger (evaporator) units, and then ducted through ventilation channels to the individual airblow ports installed at each passenger seat and in the cockpit.
 

Electrical System

 

The basic source of electrical power are two starter-generators of 28V D.C. and 12 kW power output each (operating in the generator mode), supplying power in parallel to a single bus, from which all electric loads are powered and the batteries charged. The emergency power supply source are two Nickel-Cadmium batteries of 26Ah capacity each, which can be also used for engine starting.

In addition, the electric power system includes two voltage regulator and generator protection units, and a ground power connection.

The secondary electric power supply sources are two transistor converters of 200/115V, 400Hz output and 1500 VA capacity each, supplying power to the cockpit windshield icing protection systems, two 250 VA converters, and a transformer unit to ensure power supply of 115V AC, 36V AC, 26V AC voltage (avionics, hydraulic system pressure gauging system).

The power output of a single generator is sufficient to cover electric power requirement from all loads installed onboard the airplane.

During normal operation, all electric power sources (batteries and generators) operate in parallel and supply power to a single bus.

 

With both generators failed, the batteries energize the emergency power supply bus, which supplies power to the primary electrical loads, systems affecting flight safety and flight/navigation instruments.

A standard ground power unit (GPU) connection has been installed in the forward fuselage section to ensure external power supply for ground maintenance and air-conditioner operation with engines OFF.
 

Lights

 

The cockpit and instrument panel lighting has been effected by a combination of internal instrument illumination and spot lights with light intensity regulation capability. General cabin illumination is provided from deflectable ceiling panels, while the cockpit light comes from a ceiling-installed lamp.

A lamp provided in the aft fuselage illuminates the cargo compartment and stairs or ramp.

External lighting includes position and anti-collision lights. Landing and taxi lights are installed in the fuselage forward section.

 

Flight/Navigation Instruments Supply

 

Flight instruments are supplied with total and static pressure from Pitot tubes (PWD-5 probes) installed on both fuselage sides. The Pitot tube on the port side supplies total pressure data to the flight/navigation instruments at the pilot-in-command station, while that on the starboard to the corresponding instruments at the co-pilot station. Static pressure data for the flight/navigation instruments are provided from static pressure receivers installed inside the fuselage.

 

The connected chambers of the static pressure receivers of both Pitot tubes constitute a stand-by static pressure source, with the RH (starboard) Pitot tube functioning as a stand-by source of total pressure information.

When the „STATIC” valve on the LH vertical control panel is switched from the „PRIMARY” to „STAND-BY” position, the flight/navigation instruments at the pilot-in-command station receive static pressure data from the stand-by source.

 

The flight instruments are switched over to stand-by source data supply by means of static and total pressure valve levers.

The starboard Pitot tube supplies also the airspeed information to the flight data recorder.

Pitot heads are fitted with an electric anti-icing system.

 

Flight Instrumentation, Cockpit Instrument and Control Panels

The set of instruments arranged on the cockpit panels provides for IFR/VFR (instrument and visual) flying capability, day and night.

The center forward cockpit features a classic-style, T-configuration instrument panel.

The LH and RH instrument panels, located directly in front of each pilot’s station, incorporate flight and navigation instruments. The center panel features navigation and communication unit clusters, including a weather radar and a GPS receiver, as well as all engine operation monitoring instruments and fuel gauge indicators.

The anti-glare screen mounted over the instrument panel incorporates a built-in center control panel including automatic pilot controls and annunciator lights of the primary failure-, fire-, and limit torque exceedance warning system.

 

The center support of the instrument panel is provided by the center control panel unit featuring engine control levers, and trim tab/flap position indicators. The upper (overhead) control panel contains an array of annunciator lamps, combined with verbal warning, and sets of switches for engine starting, fuel system control, and master switches for power supply and avionics.

 

The LH side control panels contain controls for cockpit and instruments lighting, flight data recorder, entry door operation and hydraulic system monitoring, pressure setting and flight/navigation instruments power supply switches.

The RH side control panels include circuit breakers for primary and emergency electric power supply, air-conditioning and anti-ice system ON/OFF switches, etc.
