(604) On the 54H60–91 propeller, which valve sets and maintains a pressure differential of about 100 psi between system pressure and the increase- or decrease-pitch pressure?
Correct Answer
C. Low-pressure relief
Explanation
Volume 4 Page 1-26
23.
(604) On the 54H60–91 propeller, when the backup valve is opened, the hydraulic pressure routed to the governor pilot valve is used for which operation?
Correct Answer
C. Reverse
Explanation
Volume 4 Page 1-26
When the backup valve is closed, decrease-pitch pressure (to the dome) is limited to 100 psi above
the pressurized sump pressure by the low-pressure relief valve. When the backup valve is opened,
decrease-pitch pressure is routed behind the low-pressure relief valve. This pressure, routed to the
governor pilot valve, is required to release the low pitch stop and to unfeather the propeller. It is also
used for reverse pitch operation.
24.
(604) On the 54H60–91 propeller, which pump is used to feather or unfeather the propeller during static propeller operation?
Correct Answer
D. Auxiliary
Explanation
Volume 4 Page 1-26
When an overspeed of 103.5 percent exists (decreasing-pitch increases rpm), the flyweights of the
pitchlock valve overcome spring tension as a result of centrifugal force. This opens a port within the
flyweight cavity. Regulated pressure passes through the port to the spring end of the servo valve. This
pressure upsets the balance between the servo valve spring and the hydraulic pressure on the other
end of the servo valve. The servo valve moves and cuts off the pressure to the pitchlock release
piston. At the same time, the servo valve directs the pitchlock line to barrel pressure, causing the
ratchets to engage; thus, preventing blade angle from decreasing even further due to CTM.
25.
(604) On the 54H60–91 propeller, which type of valve opens to allow the output of the standby pump to combine with the output of the main pump?
Correct Answer
A. Check
Explanation
Volume 4 Page 1-26
The output of the standby pump is
applied to a standby pump check valve that opens at a pressure differential of 10 to 15 psi above the
main pump pressure. When the check valve opens, the standby pump output is combined with the
main pump output; thus, providing additional hydraulic power for a high rate of pitch change during
feathering, reversing, and significant off-speed conditions
26.

Correct Answer
D. An engine overspeed due to a loss of hydraulic pressure
Explanation
Volume 4 page 1-27

Explanation
Volume 4 page 1-27
29.
(605) On the 54H60–91 propeller, the function of the low pitch stop is to prevent the
Correct Answer
B. Dome piston from decreasing blade angle below 23.3° ± .5°.
Explanation
Volume 4 Page 1-28
The low pitch stop assembly is considered a safety device and its name implies just what it does—it
stops blade movement at the lowest possible pitch required for an aircraft to sustain flight. Its function
is to prevent the propeller from going into the beta (ground) range while the throttle is positioned in
the flight range (i.e., loss of throttle control). This is done by mechanically stopping the dome piston
from moving, which ultimately prevents propeller blade angle from decreasing below FLT IDLE
(23.3 degrees ± .5 degrees)
30.
(605) On the 54H60–91 propeller, what forces the stop levers on the low pitch stop to move outward?
Correct Answer
A. Wedge
Explanation
Volume 4 page 1-29
31.
(605) On the 54H60–91 propeller, when pressure builds to between 240 and 280 psi, which valve is unseated and allows the stop levers to retract?
Correct Answer
D. Servo
Explanation
Volume 4 page 1-29
When pressure reaches approximately 240 to 280 psi, it unseats the servo valve and moves the wedge, Once the wedge is repositiones, the stop levers retrace and allow the piston to move
32.
(606) What is coordinated by the throttle in the controllable pitch range?
Correct Answer
A. Blade pitch and engine fuel flow
Explanation
Volume 4 Page 1-31
A controllable pitch propeller is a propeller that increases or decreases blade angle in response to
mechanical control. This type of propeller is useful in the ground operation of the aircraft. Positive
thrust can be used for taxiing and negative thrust for backing. The controllable pitch propeller does
not maintain constant rpm, as does the constant speed propeller. With a controllable pitch propeller,
the fuel to the engine must be controlled. An increase in pitch without an increase in fuel would cause
the rpm to decrease. A decrease in pitch without a decrease in fuel would cause rpm to increase. To
prevent these changes in rpm, the fuel is scheduled to match blade angle changes. The throttle
coordinates propeller blade pitch and engine fuel flow in controllable pitch operations.
33.
(607) On the 54H60–91 propeller, during beta range operation, what moves the pilot valve?
Correct Answer
C. Cams and mechanical linkage
Explanation
Volume 4 Page 1-32
34.
(607) On the 54H60–91 propeller, during beta range operation, the rotation of which cam moves the mechanical linkage to center the governor pilot valve?
Correct Answer
D. Beta follow-up
Explanation
Volume 4 Page 1-32
Centering the pilot valve stops hydraulic action and blade movement in the prop.
35.
(607) On the 54H60–91 propeller, during alpha range operation, which cam changes speeder spring tension so the governor pilot valve can maintain 100 percent rpm?
Correct Answer
B. Speed set
Explanation
Volume 4 Page 1-33
When the alpha shaft rotates, the speed set cam positions the mechanical linkage to change the tension of governor speeder spring. The speeder spring tension changes and positions the governor pilot valve to maintain 100% engine speed in the alpha range. The governor flyweights are driven through gears on the differential gear train by propeller rotation.
36.
(607) On the 54H60–91 propeller, during an underspeed condition, what moves the pilot valve?
Correct Answer
C. Speeder spring
Explanation
Volume 4 Page 1-33
When engine speed is less then 100%, the reduction of centrifugal force on the governor flyweights upsets the balance between the speed spring and the flyweights. When this upset occurs, the pilot valve is positioned by the speeder spring so that pressure is routed to the aft end of the dome piston.
37.
(608) On the 54H60–91 propeller, when feathering the propeller, what acts on the mechanical linkage to open the feather actuating valve?
Correct Answer
D. Manual feather cam
Explanation
Volume 4 Page 1-34
The opened feather actuating valve routes hydraulic fluid to shift the feather valve and pilot valve, which will start the feathering process.
38.
(608) On the 54H60–91 propeller, during feathering operation, the feather valve is positioned to meter hydraulic fluid to the
Correct Answer
B. Forward end of the dome piston
Explanation
Volume 4 Page 1-34
Fluid routed to the forward end of the dome piston moves the piston rearward and, therefore, increases blade angel.
39.
(608) On the 54H60–91 propeller, which valve is a backup in case the feather valve fails during feathering operation?
Correct Answer
A. Pilot
Explanation
Volume 4 Page 1-34
40.
(608) As the 54H60–91 propeller feathers, the output of which pump decreases (drops off)?
Correct Answer
