Brief Description: PIC stick CPC wired
|
|
Today, I inserted the pins in the pilot stick CPC connector. The CPC and the numbers are very small, so I took my time to ensure I put the correct pin into the proper slot. With the wired, I can now do the ops test.
With the power switched on, I first operated the flaps down and up and watched the flap motor move up and down accordingly. Then I moved the trim coolie hat to test the left-right-up-down trim. The trim motors are wired through the A/P servos, so the motors do not move, but I can hear and feel the relays clicking, so I verified that the correct relay was firing for each trim input. Next, I activated the smoke pump lockout switch, and the smoke pump "on" light was immediately illuminated. Hmmm, thinking that the switch may be "on," I clicked it, but the smoke pump light remained on. Bummer. I confirmed the wires were pinned correctly according to the schematic and called it a night.
