Q

Hot start prevention

When TGT hits 900C with NG below 60% and NP below 50%

A

The DECU trips the ODV to stop fuel flow.

FUEL flow is restored when TGT is below 300 or 25 seconds.

Overridden by holding the ENG OVRSPD test button during start.

Q

What is Transient droop improvement?

A

The DECU increases fuel flow to the HMU when

collective demand is increased rapidly or

in the event of rapid NR decay.

It does this by anticipating signals from the NR sensor and the collective position

Q

Auto-ignition system

A

After an NP overspeed (120%) and the NP is below 120 the ODV closes and the igniters come on for 5 seconds. This process will continue until NP is controlled.

Might cause yaw kicks during relight.
