    Development Corporation. The engine has a

    mechanical fuel pump which is

    supplemented with an electric pump. Theengine alternator is a 60 amp unit built by

    Plane Power. The lightweight starter was

    built by Skytec. The exhaust system is aVetterman crossover exhaust. Engine

    parameters such as EGT, CHT, fuel flow,

    manifold pressure, oil pressure, oiltemperature, oil level, oil bypass, and oil

    chip detection are indicated by the

    Advanced Flight Systems AF-3400. The

    AF-3400 annunciates measurements outsideprogrammed parameters with visual and

    auditory alarms.

    The Propeller

    The propeller is a three-blade wood corecomposite constant-speed propeller made by

    MT Propeller of Germany. The blades are

    Kevlar and carbon fiber-covered wood with

    metal leading edges. The prop is controlledby a governor mounted at the left front of

    the engine. A console-mounted blue lever

    adjusts the governor to maintain engineRPM. The prop hub is covered by a

    chrome-look Kevlar spinner.

    The Fuel System

    Fuel is supplied to the engine from two 21

    gallon vented wing tanks located in the left

    and right inboard wing leading edges.

    Service the aircraft with 100LL Fuel.

    WARNING

    Ground Aircraft and Fuel Servicing

    Equipment to the aircraft before

    servicing. Do not smoke or use cell phone

    while servicing.

    Fuel quantity is indicated on the AF-3400engine monitor. Fuel passes through an

    Andair fuel selector, through a filter, electric

    fuel pump, fuel flow sensor, mechanical fuelpump, fuel distributor and then to the

    individual cylinder injectors. At the fuel

    distributor (spider) there is a fuel purge

    valve to be used if the engine is started whilehot. The purge valve permits replacing hot

    fuel in the fuel lines with cool fuel. The

    purged fuel is returned to the right fuel tank.The electric fuel pump located inside the

    cockpit is enclosed by a vapor-capture box

    to vent any fuel vapors overboard.Engine air intake to the fuel injector body is

    controlled through a Rod Bowers intake

    and air filter system which boosts manifold

    pressure by use of direct, unfiltered ram airinto the injector body. Pulling the ram air

    knob closes the ram air butterfly valve and

    forces the engine to draw air from inside theengine cowling through a conical K&N

    filter.

    Engine power is controlled by the black leftconsole-mounted throttle and fuel leaning is

    controlled by the red, console-mounted

    mixture lever.The Andair fuel selector has four positions;

    left, both, right, and off. The fuel feed linesfrom each tank have equal lengths with

    equal radii bends so that the both positionwill feed fuel from both tanks equally.

    The engine starter is controlled through a

    contactor which acts as a safety shutoff in

    case of a stuck starter. The starter cannot beengaged unless the starter enable switch is

    selected on. The starter is activated by use

    of a button on the FCP stick grip.The E Mag Air P Mag ignition system is an

    electronic ignition which has a fail safe

    mode should all electrical power be lost. Inthe event of electrical power failure, the E

    Mag Air P Mags will self generate electrical

    power as long as the RPM is maintained

    above 700. The right P Mag powers theupper set of spark plugs and the left one

    powers the lower set. The spark plugs are

    automotive style plugs (NGK BR8ES or

    NGK BR8EIX) which fit into adapters forthe cylinders. Optionally, standard aircraft

    plugs may be used.

    Engine Instrumentation and Monitoring

    The engine indications and monitoring are

    the function of the Advanced Flight Systems

    AF-3400 Engine Monitor. The AF-3400

    monitors all engine parameters and alerts thepilot with audio and visual warnings should

    the parameters exceed limitations.

    Link to AF-3400 Operations Manual

    Oil System

    The engine oil is Exxon Elite semi-synthetic

    20W-50 aircraft oil pumped under pressure

    to the bearings. Maximum oil quantity is 8

    quarts and the minimum is 2 quarts. The

    ideal oil quantity range is 6 to 7 quarts. Theoil may be changed every 100 hours of

    operation provided the oil filter is cleaned

    every 50 hours. The oil is cooled through aStewart Warner 10631S eleven row oil

    cooler and it is filtered through a 25 micron

    ADC filter. The filter can be removed forcleaning and reuse. The ADC oil filter

    incorporates a chip detector to monitor for

    excessive ferrous metal accumulation and a

    bypass should the filter become clogged.Both functions are monitored by the AF-

    3400 and annunciate if either detector is

    triggered. Crankcase blowby oil is captured

    by an Andair air-oil separator mounted onthe firewall and vented onto the exhaust

    pipes.

    Environmental Control System

    The ECS provides fresh air through four

    vents or heated air through two vents.

    NACA ducts located on the left forward

    fuselage and under the right wing providefresh air to both cockpits. Front Cockpit

    cool air is controlled by a lower left vent.

    Two lower right side vents (one can bedirected on the feet) can provide either cool

    air or warm air. A firewall-mounted

    butterfly valve directs either cool air fromthe engine plenum to the right side vents or

    warm air from the oil cooler exhaust.

    Windscreen defog is provided through vents

    near the windscreen. Defog air is drawnfrom the avionics cooling fan. A partially

    opened canopy will provide plenty of fresh

    air while on the ground.Protection from carbon monoxide poisoning

    is provided by a CO Guardian Detector. See

    the CO Guardian manual for completedescription.

    CO Guradian AF252 Operation Manual

    Electrical System

    Two 12-volt, 17AH Odyssey PC680recombinant gas batteries, the main battery

    under the front baggage and the standby

    battery behind the aft baggage, combined

    with a Plane Power 60 amp alternator formthe foundation of the aircraft electrical

    system. Power distribution is via five busses

    - a main bus, a standby bus, a left switchpanel bus, a right switch panel bus, and an

    avionics bus. The Left Switch Panel bus is

    powered by the Main bus and the RightSwitch Panel and Avionics busses are

    powered by the Standby bus. The Main andStandby busses are separate and redundant.

    The Main bus always powers the Standbybus and the Standby bus can power the Main

    bus by use of a bus tie switch.

    The main battery is switched by amechanical switch located on the lower right

    FCP cabin cover. The standby battery is

    controlled by a toggle switch on the rightswitch panel. The switch activates a

    continuous-duty contactor located at the

    standby battery. The main and standbybusses may be connected together using a

    mechanical bus tie switch located next to the

    main battery switch. Additionally, the

    baggage and interior LED flood lights areconnected directly to the battery with 1 amp

    fuses.

    Operation of the electrical system is

    monitored by an ALT warning light which

    indicates the alternator has failed and by theAF-3400 indicating voltage and amperage.

    Tefzel insulated wiring was used throughout

    the aircraft except for the battery cables andengine ground cable which are #2 gauge

    welding cable.

    The electrical system has three groundinglocations main, firewall, and panel. The

    main and firewall are directly connected

    with a common bolt and the panel grounding

    point is connected to the main ground by #8wire.

    Power distribution is via Klixon circuit

    breakers and Porter and Brumfield circuit

    breaker switches. The CBs are located in atray under the right arm rest and the sixteen

    CB switches are located on left and rightswitch panels on the forward consoles. The

    CB tray also contains two P Mag power

    switches and a starter enable switch. The PMag power switches provide aircraft

    electrical power to the electronic ignitions.

    The starter enable switch completes a circuit

    that activates the starter button. The enginewill not start unless all three switches are on.

    Figure 1 on page 1-4 details the switch list,

    circuit breakers, circuit breaker switches,and load plan.

    Landing Gear

    The RV-8A is a fixed trigear airplane with

    two main gear and one nose gear. The struts

    are tubular steel enclosed by fiberglassfairings.

    The main tires are 6 Ply 5-5.00 tube-type

    tires mounted on split wheels. Maximumspeed for the tires will vary according to the

    tire manufacturer. The maximum tire speed

    will range from 105 knots to 139 knots. .Check the specification of the particular tire

    The nose tire is a Lamb 4-4.00 purchased

    from Vans Aircraft.

    24 June 2009 T.O. 1RV-8A-1

    All landing gear are faired with fiberglass

    fairings on the strut, wheels, and

    strut/fuselage connections.The nosewheel swivels and steering is with

    rudder and differential braking. The aircraft

    can be moved or towed using a tow barconnected to the nosewheel. Flight

    operations without all landing gear fairings

    in place will adversely affect performance.

    Wheel Brake System

    The main gear wheels have hydraulic diskbrakes controlled by hinged FCP rudder

    pedals. The brake master cylinders are

    located on the forward side of the FCP

    rudder pedals.Use caution to avoid dragging the brakes

    by inadvertently depressing the brakes whilemoving the rudder during taxi and landing.

    WARNING

    Dragging the brakes can overheat the brakes

    and cause a fire.

    A lever-actuated parking brake can be set

    while holding the brakes.

    The parking brake is set by holding thebrakes and simultaneously moving the

    parking brake lever to the down position.

    6/25

    T.O. 1RV-8A-1

    The parking brake is released by movingthe lever into its latched up position.

    WARNING

    Ensure the parking brake lever latches into

    the up position. If the lever is lowered inflight, full braking may be applied at

    touchdown.

    Wing Flaps

    The trailing edge wing flaps are electricallycontrolled by a grip-mounted toggle switch.

    One 12 volt motor located along the RCP

    left sidewall operates the flaps. The flapsare interconnected by a steel rotary shaft

    which insures both flaps extend and retractsimultaneously and symmetrically. Anasymmetrical situation is highly unlikely,

    but it is easily resolved by reversing the flap

    direction. Full flap extension or retractiontakes about 6 seconds. The flap motor

    automatically stops upon reaching the full

    up or full down position. The flaps are plain

    flaps and have preset positions of 0, 10,

    20, and 40. Takeoffs are normally done

    using 0 or 10 flap settings and landings are

    normally done using 20 or 40 flap settings.

    The full up (0) setting is obtained by

    moving the silver flap toggle switch on the

    stick grip to the up position. Then each

    momentary down position selection on the

    switch results in progressively selecting 10,

    20 and 40 settings. When the flaps first

    move out of the up position, the voice alert

    says, flaps. Bypassing the 10 and 20

    settings is accomplished by pressing and

    holding the flap switch until 40 flaps is

    achieved. The flap position is indicated on

    the AF-3400 monitor.Each stick grip can control flaps, but only

    one at a time. The stick control switch,

    located on the sidewall left of the RCP leftfootwell, selects which grip has control of

    the flaps.

    After landing, the flaps are normally left full

    down to facilitate entry and exit and to keepuninformed passengers from stepping on the

    flap.

    Flight Control System

    The flight controls consist of ailerons,elevator and rudder. The ailerons and

    elevator are controlled via push-pull tubes

    using bellcranks. The rudder is controlled

    via cables. Two axis trim is used to adjustthe ailerons and elevator. The rudder does

    not have a movable trim. Aileron trim is

    adjusted by an electric servo which changesthe relationship of the feel springs to the

    control sticks. Elevator trim is adjusted byan electric servo which moves a tab locatedon the left elevator trailing edge.

    Each cockpit has an ergonomically-angled,

    military-style control stick grip made byInfinity Aerospace. The FCP rudder pedals

    are ground-adjustable by removing a T-

    handle shaped push button locking pin in the

    6

    slider bar aft of and between the rudder

    pedals. With effort, the rudder pedals could

    be adjusted in flight, however, failure toproperly reinsert the locking pin will allow

    the rudder pedals to slide forward making

    them difficult or impossible to reach.

    Photo of rudder pedal pin

    Flight Control Trim

    An electric four-way coolie hat switch

    located on top of each stick grip controls the

    aileron and elevator trim through the SafetyTrim module. The switch, trim servos, and

    Safety Trim module are powered by the

    Standby Bus, thus trim will functionnormally until all electrical power is lost.

    Momentarily move the trim switch fore and

    aft for pitch trim and left and right for

    aileron trim.

    Safety Trim Module

    The Safety Trim module is mounted under

    the left floor. In the electrical system, it is

    positioned between the trim switch and the

    trim servos. The Safety Trim has twofunctions: prevention of runaway trim and

    adjustment of trim speed.The Safety Trim runaway trim cutout feature

    stops the trim servo after 3 seconds of

    continuous running thus limiting the severity

    of a runaway trim situation. Further, shouldthe trim cutout feature activate, the trim can

    be reversed to a neutral setting by using the

    reverser switch located on the Right SwitchPanel. The switch is a three position switch

    On, Off, and Reverse.The Safety Trim also changes trim servospeed to avoid over trimming at high

    indicated airspeed. The servo speed is

    optimized for traffic pattern use as larger

    pitch trim changes are needed at slowerairspeeds. At high airspeed such as cruise,

    the Safety Trim module slows the servo

    speed to avoid overly sensitive trim. Below

    100 KIAS, pitch trim speed is fast and above

    100 KIAS, it is slow.

    Pitot-Static System

    The pitot-static system provides both impact

    and static air pressure to the EFIS One, EFIS

    Lite and Safety Trim. Impact ram air isfrom the left underwing heated pitot mast

    and static air is from two static ports - one

    on each side of the aft fuselage. An

    alternate source of cockpit static air isavailable by opening a static line petcock

    located under the center of the instrument

    panel.

    WARNING

    Pitot and static ports must be clear before

    flying.

    Angle of Attack System

    The angle of attack (AOA) system consists

    of pressure ports in the left wing, a central

    processing unit and a display.The pressure ports are located in the left

    wing approximately eight inches inboard of

    the wing/wingtip edge. The ports are 40thousandths diameter and sense the

    differential pressure on the top and bottom

    of the wing. The CPU converts thepressures to display signals. The display

    indicates fast, on speed, and slow.

    Additionally, the CPU produces a voicewarning when approaching the stall and the

    voice becomes more urgent and morefrequent as the stall approaches.

    The two axis autopilot is controlled by the

    EFIS One and controls are moved by servoslocated under the front seat and behind the

    aft baggage.

    The lateral navigation can track the headingbug, GPS, VOR, ILS, or Virtual VOR. The

    vertical navigation can track vertical speed

    to a selected altitude, level off and hold thealtitude. Additionally it can track and ILS

    glide slope signal. There is no control of

    power or trim.

    The master power switch is located on theRight Switch Panel. All entries for AP

    guidance are through the EFIS One. The AP

    can be disconnected using the stick grip

    trigger.

    Canopy

    Both cockpit seats are enclosed with a

    bubble canopy extending from the fixedforward windscreen to a slider rail along the

    spine of the fuselage.

    The canopy rides on two rollers along

    cockpit side rails and a single slider alongthe fuselage spine behind the aft cockpit.

    The locking lever is located at the front left

    corner of the canopy and latches on a pin onthe windscreen support.

    CAUTION

    Failure to lock Canopy may result in

    damage.

    Note

    RV-8As have been flown with the canopyunlatched without damage. The air flowover the canopy keeps it closed.

    Baggage Compartments

    The RV-8A has two baggage compartments

    one forward of the windscreen and one aft

    of the rear seat. The forward baggage is

    limited to 50 pounds and the aft one is

    limited to 75 pounds 25 of which may beon the upper shelf.

    The forward baggage is accessed from the

    right side of the aircraft and forward of thewing. It is the width of the fuselage and is

    covered by a hinged, gas sprung locking

    door.

    CAUTION

    Failure to lock the baggage door may result

    in damage.

    Note

    RV-8As have been flown with the baggagedoor unlocked without damage.

    The aft baggage is accessed by tilting thehinged rear seat back forward. The canopy

    must be moved forward about 8 inches to

    permit the seat back to clear the canopy

    handle.

    Panel Indicator Lights

    Two indicator lights are located on the leftside of the instrument panel. An amber ALT

    light provides warning of Alternator failure.A red CAUTION light serves as a master

    caution light to bring attention to an out-of-

    parameter engine indication. The cautionlight may be reset by acknowledging the red

    warning at the bottom left corner of the AF-

    3400 Engine Monitor. An audio warning

    will accompany the caution light.

    Interior Lighting

    The cockpits and baggage compartments are

    illuminated using LEDs. Fully dimmable

    LEDs are located over the FCP and RCParm rest consoles, the switch panels, and the

    instrument panel. The FCP lighting is

    controlled by three dimmer switches on the

    8

  • 7/30/2019 Flight anual Ao 12 Mar 11

    9/25

    24 June 2009 T.O. 1RV-8A-1

    right switch panel. The RCP console lights

    are controlled by a dimmer located above

    the RCP right console. The same dimmercontrols the aft baggage compartment

    lighting.

    The front baggage compartment has aseparate switch located below the door

    opening. All interior lighting is fused

    directly to the batteries so lights can be usedwithout powering up the aircraft electrical

    system. All FCP lighting and the front

    baggage lights are powered by the Main

    Battery. All RCP lighting and aft baggagelights are powered by the Standby Battery.

    The LEDs consume very little power and

    will not deplete the batteries if inadvertently

    left on.

    Exterior Lighting

    Exterior lighting consists of positions lights,

    strobe lights, landing lights andtaxi/recognition lights. All exterior lights

    are controlled by switched on the left switch

    panel. Except for the rudder-mounted

    taillight, all exterior lighting is located in thewingtip leading edges.

    The landing lights are High Intensity

    Discharge (HID), the taxi/recognition lightsare Light-Emitting Diodes (LED), the wing

    position lights are LED, and the taillight is

    halogen. The HID and LED lights consumevery little power and produce little heat

    when compared to incandescent or halogen

    lights.

    The HID lights use a ballast for initial highvoltage startup and then sustain using only

    3.0 amps.

    The LED taxi/recognition lights are dualfunction that draw 1.0 amps when on steady.

    The three position taxi/recognition light

    switch selects off, flash, or on. The onposition is steady illumination and is used

    for night taxi. The flash position alternates

    the lights for safety in the air.

    The wing LED position lights are co-located

    with the strobe lights. The halogen taillight

    is co-located with the tail strobe light at thebottom trailing edge of the rudder.

    Comm/Nav Radio

    Eight For Papa is configured with a single

    Garmin SL-30 communication/navigationradio. The SL-30 provides communication

    in the VHF frequency spectrum and tunes

    VOR navigation signals.

    The SL-30 is connected to a wire whipantenna located on the bottom side of the

    fuselage just inboard of the right main gear.

    The coax to the antenna is interrupted by an

    antenna switching box where a handhledradio can be connected. In normal

    operation, the SL-30 signal goes to theantenna. When a handheld cable is inserted

    into the switching box, then SL-30

    transmission is interrupted and the bellyantenna then serves the handheld radio. The

    full operation of the SL-30 radio is

    explained in the Garmin manual.
