INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides a description of the electrical power system for the CJ4. Included is
information on the DC and AC systems. The DC system consists of storage, generation, and
distribution. The AC system consists of generation and distribution. Provision is also made for a
limited supply of power during emergency conditions in flight.
GENERAL

tem and begins supplying DC power.
• A 24-volt, 42 amp-hour lead-acid battery
The units are air-cooled and normally operate in
parallel sharing the electrical load. They can sup-
ply all normal power needs independently if need-
ed. The normal output of each generator is 29
volts. When an online generator assists the oppo-
site side during engine start, it provides about 2/3 of
the power required – the battery provides 1/3. DC
power from the engine-driven starter-generators
is distributed to the left and right main feed buses
(Figure 2-2).

J-BOX LIMITER OPEN L and R This amber message indicates the affected 225-amp current limiter has failed. Prior
to ground engine start, numerous other messages may be present along with a
steady, non-resettable MASTER WARNING light. Engine start would be inhibited
on the ground. In flight the normal electrical system has basically been divided with
each side’s generator powering that half. With a single limiter failure, one half is also
connected to the battery which is being charged. With a dual limiter failure, the bat-
tery will discharge. An engine restart in flight may be possible using windmill start
procedures.
J-BOX REMOTE CB TRIP This amber message indicates one or more of the monitored circuit breakers in
the J-box has tripped. All breakers are not monitored.
BATTERY FAULT This message is only associated with a Lithium-Ion battery. A cyan message
indicates the central monitoring system (CMS) has detected a failure of three
modules.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents information on the fuel system of the CJ4 aircraft. The fuel system is
comprised of various subsystems that include: wing fuel tanks, fuel distribution system, single
point refuel/defuel (SPR) system, fuel quantity gauging system, and the fuel vent system. Crew

INTRODUCTION
The pressurization system on the CJ4 aircraft maintains the cabin altitude (pressure) to provide
a suitable environment for the crew and passengers regardless of aircraft altitude. This is accom-
plished by ducting a constant supply of bleed air into the cockpit/cabin (pressure vessel) area, then
controlling the amount of air allowed to escape overboard.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides information on the hydraulic system for the CJ4 aircraft. The system is
comprised of a single, closed-center hydraulic system with two engine-driven hydraulic pumps to
provide hydraulic power to four subsystems; landing gear, flaps, ground spoilers, and speedbrakes.
System operation is presented by the engine indication and crew alert system (EICAS). This
hydraulic system has nothing to do with the brake hydraulic system.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the flight controls for the CJ4 aircraft. The flight controls include the
primary flight control systems, secondary flight control systems, trim and rudder bias systems.

engine failure.
Secondary flight controls consist of flaps, speed-
brakes, and ground spoilers. The controls are
hydraulically actuated and electrically controlled.
PRIMARY FLIGHT
CONTROLS
The primary flight controls consist of ailerons,
elevators, and a rudder operated by either the pilot Left Aileron
or the autopilot through a conventional control col-
umn and rudder pedal arrangement. Control inputs
are transmitted to the control surfaces through push
rods and cables.
AILERONS
Description
The ailerons on the outboard trailing edge of each
wing provide lateral (roll) control of the aircraft
(Figure 15-1). The system is manually controlled
through a three cable loop system connected to
the control yokes. The electric autopilot aileron
servo is also connected to the system at the feed-
through sector.
Elevators
Controls and Indications
Control Yokes and Columns
The pilot and copilot control yokes and columns
are connected to the aileron cable system. The con-
trol yokes rotate 70° in each direction to provide
maximum aileron deflection.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides an overview and basic operation of the avionics systems in the CJ4 aircraft.
It does not provide complete details of every part for each system. The Airplane Flight Manual
(AFM) and manufacturer pilot guides should be consulted for more detailed information. Class-
room presentations along with systems integration training (SIT) sessions are used to familiarize
pilots with the systems and allow hands-on application. Each simulator session also permits
hands-on use of the avionics.

the AVIONICS power switch controls power to the
remaining systems. Some systems can be operated
from emergency DC power while others require

17 OXYGEN SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents information on the oxygen system in the CJ4 aircraft. Oxygen is supplied
to the crew and passengers during pressurization system malfunctions, or whenever required.
System parameters are monitored and warnings supplied by the engine indication and crew alert
system (EICAS).
GENERAL
The oxygen system supplies breathing oxygen to the crew only. The system automatically drops the

DESCRIPTION
The oxygen system uses a single bottle installed in
the nose section. Controls are located within the
cockpit (Figure 17-3).

OXYGEN MASKS
Crew Masks
The crew masks are stored in receptacles mounted
on the upper and outboard position of the pilots
seat (Figure 17-2). The mask is a quick-donning
pressure demand mask with an inflatable harness,
a mask-mounted regulator, and an internal micro-
phone. When oxygen is in use the internal micro-
phones provide communication for the crew. The
mask regulator allows the pilot to select between Figure 17-2. Standard Crew Masks

WEIGHT AND BALANCE
INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides procedures for establishing the basic empty weight and moment of the CJ4
aircraft. It also provides procedures for determining the weight and balance for flight. Information
It is the responsibility of the pilot to make sure the aircraft is loaded properly. The aircraft must
be loaded so as to remain within the weight and balance limits prescribed in the Airplane Flight
Manual (AFM) throughout the flight from takeoff to landing.

Figures 19-1 through 19-11. If the aircraft has a dif-
ferent seating configuration from the one depicted
in the example, the form appropriate to that con-
figuration is in the AFM.
