If you're studying for your ATPLs and having a little bit of trouble with instrumentation, then this is the place to be.

Если вы готовитесь к экзаменам на ATPL и испытываете небольшие трудности с приборным оборудованием, то вам сюда.

Over the next few months, we're going to be breaking down all the topics within the instrumentation subject, analysing them and hopefully making them make sense for you in time for the exam.

Hi, I'm Grant and welcome to the first in a new series all about instrumentation.

There's lots of different things that we can measure on board an aircraft, and analyse to make certain decisions about where we need to go,

how high we need to fly and various other things.

The most fundamental and easy to understand though is temperature and time.

So we're going to start with them and slowly build up in complexity throughout the remainder of this course.

We need to sense the temperature of various components

so they don't overheat

and we also need to sense the temperature of the air around us to make sure we know

when to turn on any anti-ice systems and avoid any ice buildup.

We can measure temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit or even Kelvin.

It doesn't really matter and the temperature probe will be calibrated to one of these

and then it can convert it if necessary or can do the conversions manually just like I've got at the top here.

So you've got Kelvin plus 273 equals Celsius.

Celsius times 9 over 5 plus 32 equals the Fahrenheit.

The simplest form of temperature sensor is to use a bi-metallic sensor.

This is where we use two different metals spiraled together and

when the temperature rises one metal will expand more than the other

which basically unwinds the spiral and rotates a needle on a display.

This is the sort of thing

that you might use to measure air temperature on a small aircraft

but you can't really measure the temperature of engine components

and display the information in a useful place because this biometallic strip can only be so long.

If you wanted to measure the temperature of the exhaust

and you wanted the display in the cockpit you need a biometallic strip

that went all the way to the back of the engine where the exhaust temperature was for example.

So simple, robust, very easy to understand but not

that useful for measuring some things but can be used in very simple applications.

A resistance temperature detector relies on a metal that will change in resistance when heated.

Four resistors are set up in this format essentially making a parallel circuit with a small battery outputting a consistent current.

The values of these three resistors are known and then this one down here is the variable resistance one.

As the resistance of this one changes it means

that the voltage passing through this side of a parallel circuit

measured at this point V2 will be different from the midpoint here at V1.

This resistor setup is fairly common in electronics

and it's called a wheat stone bridge if you're interested and want to look up more.

Because there is a difference in voltage between the two midpoints it means

that if we place a wire between point V1 and V2 we'll see that a current flows.

We can then use that current flow to turn a dial on a display

and the dial will turn based on how much resistance there is

because of how much voltage difference there is and that resistance changes depending on how much temperature there is.

So the temperature changes the resistance, changes the voltage, changes the voltage difference, turns the dial, gives us an effective display.

It's a good setup

and allows for the measurement of components from far away as all we need are longer wires to the display dial.

It does however need a constant DC power supply to make it work.

Thermocouples are used for very hot elements and work using a principle called Thermo-EMF, thermoelectromagnetic force.

This is when a metal creates a small voltage or electromagnetic force

when a temperature difference exists between two parts of the metal.

Basically say this is a metal rod

if it's hot over on the right hand side

and cold over on the left hand side a small voltage is produced in this metal.

Simple.

In a thermocouple we use two different metals.

We use metal one, let's just call it, and metal two in two sensing elements.

We also have a reference cold temperature.

This means we get a voltage difference produced when sensing a temperature which causes a current to flow.

Essentially we use that thermal EMF, we've got a hot and a cold, a hot and a cold we get a voltage generated in metal one

and a voltage generated in metal two because they're two different metals

that means that we're going to have a voltage difference

and then we do the same thing

that we did in the resistance temperature detector

and we hook up a dial and use the voltage difference and that current that's generated to turn the dial.

These are very effective because we can measure components from very far away just like we did with the

resistance temperature detector and it also doesn't need any power supply.

The problem is they aren't hugely accurate

so you wouldn't be using these for precision stuff

but depending on the metals used for the thermocouples they can

measure things at a very high temperature such as exhaust gas temperature in jet engines.

Air temperature is one of the most important things to measure

so that we can turn on any anti-icing systems when the temperature requires us to do so.

In light aircraft

that travel at low speed we tend to use a bi-metallic

type of temperature probe with the end of the gauge poking out into the airflow

and the dial giving us readings within the cockpit.

It's simple and effective but we run into a problem when we start to go faster.

Basically, as all the little particles in the air pass over the probe, they rub against it and create friction, causing the probe to heat up.

This distorts the results and doesn't give us a true reading

because we get this sort of kinetic heating effect whilst we're travelling through the air.

We therefore measure something that we call a total air temperature, or TAT.

and this is different from the actual air temperature which is the static air temperature

or sometimes referred to as the outside air temperature so you get sat, oat and tat.

That's a bit confusing and basically

when we add friction to the static air temperature we then are going to be measuring the total air temperature.

So how do we solve this problem?

Well we use clever design.

The most common type of probe and clever design that is used to get around this problem is called a Rosemount probe, which is I'm pretty sure a brand name,

but this style with a little variation is all over the place on different aircraft.

What happens in these probes is that air passes through this chamber past a small heater, which kind of seems a bit counter-intuitive,

but it's there to stop any ice formation on the front of this probe.

The venturi that follows the opening draws some of the air down into a sensing chamber

while the heavier particles that are in the air like water

or ice don't get drawn in and are free to pass by and they don't get sucked down into the sensing chamber.

In the chamber a resistance type temperature probe detects the heat of the air

before that air is dumped out the back of the probe.

The separate chamber eliminates most of the effects of the anti-icing heaters in the probe entry

and we can therefore get a reading for total air temperature

that is accurate and isn't affected by any need to de-ice

or anti-ice the probe

100

and it also gets rid of all the particles in the air for a more accurate reading as well.

101

It's important to note that this sort of probe will only work properly

102

when it's moving through the air or has air moving through it.

103

So when stationary, the air temperature readings will be way off and very, very high, especially if you've got the hot sun beating down on the probe, for example.

104

So we've got our measure for true air temperature, but we want to know the outside air temperature or the static air temperature.

105

What we do is we then use an equation

106

or more specifically there'll be a little bit of electronics that does this calculation for you.

107

The equation

108

that we use is the static air temperature equals the total

109

air temperature divided by 1 plus 3.2 times the recovery factor times the max squared.

110

The equation has a few things to note.

111

It must be used with Kelvin first of all,

112

which confuses things because sometimes the recovery factor gets given the symbol k.

113

And the recovery factor is essentially a measure of how efficient the probe is thermodynamically,

114

as this equation is a thermodynamic expression, for how much heat is added to the air by the speed we are going through,

115

hence the Mach number.

116

So let's just put some numbers in this and talk through an example.

117

So let's say we want to find out the outside air temperature, the static air temperature, and we have the following information.

118

We've got a total air temperature is minus 40,

119

that's what we measured, and we've got a recovery factor of 0.9

120

and we've got a Mach number of 0.75 and we want to find out what is the

121

static air temperature so the first thing we need to do is to convert it into Kelvin

122

so we're going going to add 273 and

123

that gives us an answer of 233 so 233 kelvin divided by 1 plus 0.2

124

times 0.9 times 0.75 squared we'll just leave that in there for now

125

and then I'll go away and do that on a calculator and see

126

that we've got 233 divided by 1.10125 dot dot

127

dot dot giving us a final answer in kelvin of 211.57 kelvin and if we wanted to convert that so let's

128

just do it back over here so we've got 211.57 kelvin want to convert that back into

129

um celsius so we take away 273

130

and we get an answer so that's uh yes celsius is here that's going to give us minus 61.

131

Yeah, 61.

132

So we can see that the friction of us travelling through the air, we're going from minus 61 actual outside air temperature

133

and we're adding about 20 degrees of friction to get us up to the total air temperature of minus 40.

134

So it has a big effect whilst we're travelling at relatively high Mach numbers.

135

In aviation, we measure things in UTC,

136

universal time coordinate, which is a standardised time zone throughout the world.

137

In the UK and parts of Europe, it is the same as the time in London, GMT, without daylight savings applied.

138

And in other parts, it might be a few hours different from local, or even vastly different in places like New Zealand,

139

where UTC is 12 hours different from local time.

140

Basically, things can get confusing if you're referencing times to aviation related things like weather reports

141

and arrival times which are all in UTC and then using your watch

142

or phone which might be in local time especially

143

when flying across different time zones with your phone maybe auto updating the time as you arrive in each place.

144

So to save us and help us with

145

that confusion we have a clock on the plane

146

which is set to UTC time for referencing all these things like weather reports

147

and arrival times etc and we call this the system clock.

148

We use this as our time source when we are flying.

149

These system clocks are the same as your wristwatch,

150

usually a quartz based timekeeping device on smaller aircraft with larger aircraft having more complicated clocks with various features

151

and they can use a GPS source to get an accurate time from the atomic clock

152

on board the satellites up in space.

153

They will also feature other things like a chrono which is a stopwatch used for timing short things.

154

For example we need the engines to run at idle for

155

at least three minutes before shutting them down after landing

156

so we'd want to start the chrono shortly after landing to ensure we have achieved that three minute cool down time.

157

We also have the elapsed time

158

which we can use for longer timing typically for the time

159

of pushback to the time of pulling back on stand again to get the block time of a flight, which is the flight time plus taxiing.

160

Or we could use to record just the flight time by selecting it on just before take off

161

and off just after landing.

162

Another important use for an onboard system clock is to get

163

an accurate measurement for how long the engine has been running and the the plane in general has been running.

164

Engines have parts that need to be checked after a certain number of hours.

165

So what we can do is we can manually record the startup

166

and shutdown times in a tech log using the system clock

167

and then we can get an accurate measurement of how long the engine has been running for

168

and how often we need to service parts and

169

when we need to service and check all of the components of the engine.

170

Most aircraft will not rely on manually noting down the times though

171

and they'll have a dedicated odometer that starts running when the engine starts and stops when the engine stops.

172

This gives an accurate figure of how many hours the engine has been running for

173

and it's kind of like the total mileage or total kilometreage odometer

174

that you get on a car

175

which gives an accurate figure of how long the engine has been on for

176

and maintenance can be planned according to the figures on this odometer.

177

In summary then you've got temperature sensing in a few different ways.

178

Most simple is a bimetallic strip.

179

You've got two different metals They untwine at different rates when heat is applied and the unspinning of one causes,

180

faster than the other, causes a dial to move and we can measure temperature.

181

Simple, but the biometallic strip limits how long it can be and how far away it can be from the source.

182

You get resistive type elements that use a wheatstone bridge setup.

183

the variable resistance reacts to heat and you'll get more or less heat and

184

heat and more or less resistance according to that heat.

185

You then get a voltage difference generated between each side of the Wheatstone bridge.

186

That voltage difference creates a current that current can be used to turn a dial.

187

They're good, they do rely on having a power source but it means that we can

188

take this display and just attach some wires

189

and send it to the cockpit away from the source of the temperature that we're measuring.

190

You also get thermocouples which have the benefit of not needing power.

191

They generate voltage when there's a temperature difference along their length.

192

So it's going to be hot over here

193

and it's going to be cold over here and that generates a voltage in this one metal, in this second metal,

194

because it's a slightly different metal it means there's a slightly different voltage generated

195

and we get two different voltages aka a voltage difference.

196

Voltage difference means current can flow and we can use

197

that flowing current to turn a dial which is proportional to the voltage difference and therefore proportional to the temperature

198

and we get an accurate measurement of temperature in the cockpit.

199

For air temperature sensing we generally on big aircraft use a rose mount probe.

200

It's good because it means it's not going to

201

ice up because there's heating elements here

202

and then we draw air down into this sensing chamber

203

and use a resistive type element to sense the temperature of the total air temperature

204

and we get rid of all the particles of water

205

and stuff in the air that might really affect and form this the result of the total air temperature.

206

We then use electronics,

207

we use an algorithm to calculate out what the static air temperature is compared to the total air temperature.

208

The formula is static air temperature

209

or outside air temperature equals the total air temperature divided by 1 plus 0.2 times the recovery factor times the Mach squared.

210

These temperatures are in Kelvin.

211

The recovery factor is a measurement of how efficient the resistive element

212

and this system in general is and sometimes can be given the symbol k

213

and then Mach is your Mach number

214

which is going to be a measurement of how fast this air is flowing through the probe

215

and how fast you're traveling through the air.

216

So a few things to remember with this equation, but it's a good way of figuring out the outside air temperature versus the total air temperature.

217

We also need to measure the time.

218

Time is very easy to understand.

219

It's UTC time, which is the universal worldwide time zone.

220

Everything in aviation is referenced to UTC.

221

So instead of using your watch where the local time might be vastly different to UTC,

222

you can use the system clock which is always set to UTC for all aviation related things.

223

And we can use accurate times from this to note down how long the engine's been running.

224

And then we know how often we have to serve those parts and when we need to service those parts.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
