Modern reciprocating-engine aircraft (especially large and high-performance ones) use electrically operated auxiliary fuel  boost and transfer pumps  to keep fuel moving toward the aircraft engine or move fuel between tanks to balance aircraft weight. Centrifugal boost pumps,  electric motor driven,  are the most common type and  are used to supply,back up the engine-driven fuel pump or transfer fuel between tanks if the aircraft is so designed. They are  most frequently  submerged in the fuel tank or located just outside of the bottom of the tank with the inlet of the pump extending into the tank. Cartridge/canister or in-tank mounted pumps supply fuel to the aircraft engine while reverse flow through the pump is prevented by check valves. The cartridge/canister design allows removal of the pump cartridge without draining the fuel tank. If the pump is mounted outside the tank, a pump removal valve is typically installed so the pump can be removed without draining the fuel tank.

The RAPCO FAA-PMA approved pumps are offered as direct replacements of the respective pumps by OEMs  such as PARKER AIRBORNE or DUKES (please refer to their separate product presentations). The letters " RA" in the beginning of the RAPCO part number are used to denote the correlation of RAPCO part number to the OEM part number. They incorporate modern design, materials, and manufacturing processes to provide high quality and performance fuel pumps at competitive prices. 

These pumps can be furnished  as NEW or OVERHAUL EXCHANGE, namely new or overhauled pumps in exchange of existing customer owned units (cores).

Aircraft hydraulic pumps are used to move non-compressible fluid through an aircraft hydraulic system. This power is often used on small airplanes to operate wheel brakes, retractable landing gear, and some constant-speed propellers. On larger airplanes, hydraulics are used for flight control surfaces, wing flaps, spoilers, and other systems. Aircraft hydraulic pumps are normally engine driven, but sometimes to simplify the system manufacturers use an electric motor to drive the hydraulic system. These hydraulic power packs incorporate a reservoir, control valve and auxiliary valves into a single unit.

As the OEM for the PRESTOLITE Power Packs, AEROSPACE TURBINE ROTABLES Inc.applies an extensive overhaul and testing process to ensure a long and reliable operation of PRESTOLITE Hydraulic Power Packs offered as Overhaul/Exchange (*).  

(*)requires the return of the old unit and its exchange by an overhauled one. The supplier maintains the right to check the condition of the returned unit before the exchange. The price also applies to the hydraulic power packs shipped for overhaul of the same unit and return. 

When intended for use on certified aircraft applications, PRESTOLITE Overhaul/Exchange Hydraulic Power Packs come with Dual Release (FAA/EASA) Certification . It must specified at the time of ordering as additional charges may apply.

RAPCO manufactures FAA-PMA approved pneumatic filter replacements for airborne assemblies. RAPCO filters are constructed to the highest industry standards. They utilize a 0.3 micron filtration media which provides superior filtration without undue air flow restriction. They help proper filtration of destructive contamination within an aircraft environment (such as system dirt and dust from the cabin and cigarette smoke) which often lead to the need for replacement of expensive gyro instruments & other components.  When changed on a scheduled basis they can reduce operating costs.

The Andair standard fuel selector valve range incorporates 1/4"(FS16), 3/8"(FS20) and the 1/2"(FS25) valves. These valves allow for multiple tank switching of one fuel line. 

Manufactured to the highest standards, all Andair fuel selector valves are designed for safety, provide a precise and smooth feel in operation and can be supplied with custom engraving. They feature  a large red lever with 'Fuel' engraved on it and a clearly labelled fascia plate to indicate which tank has been selected. It allows for a good solid detent at each tank position and also the button on top of the lever must be raised to switch the fuel off. All these features help prevent the pilot switching the wrong tank or turning the fuel off.

Andair duplex fuel selector valves have two separate compartments so that two independent fuel lines can be switched simultaneously making them ideal for fuel injected or diesel engines where there needs to be a return line. It allows to pipe surplus fuel to the same tank from which it was drawn. This avoids overfilling the return tank or having an overly complicated fuel system. 

FS2020(*) fuel selector valves feature two 3/8" sections for feed & return. FS2520(*) fuel selector valves feature one 1/2" feed section and one 3/8" return section. Both can be supplied with different ANDAIR fittings to meet application requirements. 

Engines that can benefit from these valves are Surburu, Continental, Rotax, and Diesel aircraft engines. 

For additional information please refer to the product presentations, the supplied documentation or contact us.

(*) Fittings in product titles relate to inlet from right tank, outlet to engine and inlet from left tank in the lower and upper side of the valve.
