Todd, a question for you, on the Right Squat Switch, what is its purpose. It is not listed in the POH. I have heard it is tied to the landing gear horn. Yet, all our planes still sound the stall horn on the runway. The diagram in the POH only shows left is set to ground when the plane is on the ground and the right is set to ground when it is in the air. I am proud to have students doing their due diligence with these great questions.
The purpose of the RIGHT squat switch is only for indicating of the gear up/down indicator in the cabin. The LEFT squat switch is what interrupts the stall warning system on the ground. If you take a close look at the squat switches, you will see the left gear has 2 and the right only has one. Are you flying the 79-80 version or the 2000+ model?
@@ToddShellnuttCPC We are in the 2000+ models. I am so used to Cessna that has very detailed POH System descriptions. All the POH shows is that how one is grounded on the ground and the other is grounded in the air. Thank you again for your video series! This has been so helpful for my students! Wished I could have had you at KIWA for Multi but you left just before I was in your class!
great video, got a question about the squat switch, there is supposedly one on the right main too for maintenance time and the stall warning horn, however on the pa44 seminole I fly the stall warning does work on the ground and i failed to see any such switch was this a feature of the older makes of the same aircraft because aircraft I fly is about a year old?
Unfortunately I do not. My schedule prevents me from producing a lot of content. Is there something that you would like to see? I can definitely go that route.
It is called the "Pump Base". Take a look at this link and reference page 340. There is a pic of the part and how it all goes together. www.manualslib.com/manual/1638427/Piper-Pa-44-180-Seminole.html?page=340#manual
Haha my mouth dropped when you showed the shuttle valve. Thank you for the video.
You are very easy to understand, and that is awesome! Like, I'll actually use this stuff! Thank you so much!
Thank you very much - What other systems would you like to see in the future?
@@ToddShellnuttCPC I would love to see a video on constant speed props!
@@stephanwestrum That is a good one! I will work on putting that together, so stay tuned.

Ferdinand Heldman yup! Section 7 of the POH
I have been searching for this answer as well. It is not listed in the POH.
Jeff Gutowski depends on which model you have. If you have the G1000 carburetor or latest fuel injected model it does have it
kevin mere I have the g1000 and it isn’t in there. I have checked all over. I will keep looking for a definitive source answer.
Jeff Gutowski you’re right, 7.11 only depicts left main gear. I got confused. Sorry for the misinformation
Awesome video!! Do you have any more systems videos on the Seminole?
Unfortunately I do not. My schedule prevents me from producing a lot of content. Is there something that you would like to see? I can definitely go that route.
Very informative! Thank you Todd!
Hey! What is the assembly called that holds the shuttle valve and the hydraulic fluid enters into?
It is called the "Pump Base". Take a look at this link and reference page 340. There is a pic of the part and how it all goes together. www.manualslib.com/manual/1638427/Piper-Pa-44-180-Seminole.html?page=340#manual
@@ToddShellnuttCPC thanks!!
Can NOT believe the shuttle valve is that small!!
I was so pissed when I found out how small it was - I thought it was like 6" long or more.
@@ToddShellnuttCPCI hate that the way we’re taught to draw the system is so different from how it actually looks
Excellent
What is the purpose of the bleed hole ?
great video, but your audio "system" needs help. lol, JK
