OFF
CONT
FLT

A

- uncommanded rapid decrease in N2
- N2 from 50%-57%
- In FLIGHT N2 between IDLE-5%

CONT:
- provides ingition to selected igniters when ENG operating and ENG START LEVER at IDLE
- IN FLIGHT - provides ignition to BOTH ignitors when N2 is below IDLE and ENG START LEVER at IDLE

FLT: provides ignition to BOTH ignitors when ENG START LEVER at IDLE

Q

🟑 ENGINE CONTROL
🟑 REVERSER

A

NOT dispatchable due to faults in system, illuminate when:
- engine is operating and,
- airplane on ground and,
Below 80KTS prior to T/O
Approx. 30 sec after touchdown

Illuminate when one or more of:
- isolation valve or thrust reverser control valve is not in commanded position
- one or more thrust reverser sleeves are not in commanded state

Q

EEC

A

ON
- ENG ratings calculated by sensed atmospheric conditions and bleed air demand
- when ON NOT illuminated, the ALTN mode has been manually selected (hard)
- when ON + ALTN on: soft alternate mode (automatically)

EEC becomes powered after the Engine accelerated to a speed greater than N2.

Normal mode; EEC compares commanded N1 to actual N1 and adjusts fuel flow.

When HARD ALTN mode: provides equal or greater thrust than normal mode for same lever position. max thrust rating is reached before throttles are fully forward ( you have no protection)

Q

APU switch to OFF

🟦 MAINT
🟧 LOW OIL PRESSURE
🟧 FAULT
🟧 OVER SPEED

A

Switched off: off busses (trips), bleed air valve closes. After 60 seconds (cool down) and APU shuts down automatically. When APU speed decreases sufficiently during shutdown: air inlet closes (20 sec), fuel valves closes

ALL LIGHTS DISARMED WHEN APU SWITCH IN OFF POSITION

🟦 MAINT
- APU problem exists
- apu may be operated

🟧 LOW OIL PRESSURE, after start cycle complete:
- low pres causes autoshut down
- light illuminated when APU switched off: stays illuminated for 5 min

🟧 FAULT
- malfunction causes auto shut down
- light illuminated when APU switched off: stays illuminated for 5 min
🟧 OVER SPEED
- RPM limit exceeded: auto shut down
- overspeed protection feature failed a self-test during normal APU shutdown
- light illuminated when APU switched off: stays illuminated for 5 min

Q

EEC Overspeed protection
Approach IDLE

A

N1 and N2 redline overspeed in both normal and alternate modes. But EGT MUST be observed by crew, EEC does not provide EGT redline exceedance.

Any of following conditions are met:
- cowl thermal anti-ice switch is ON for either 1 ENG or 2 ENG
- Altitude is below 19.000’ AND L or R main landing gear is down + locked
- Altitude is below 19.000’ AND L or R flaps are in approach config (same or higher than F15)

Q

Fuel flow measuring

A

After ENG FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE

17
Q

ENGINE EEC + igniter plugs

A

Each ENGINE:
- 1 EEC with 2 channels
- 2 igniter plugs
L igniter powered by AC transfer bus
R igniter powered by AC Standby bus

18
Q

ENG START OPS
Starter motor
ENG START SWITCH GND
25% N2/ max motoring

A

Starter motor powered by bleed air

GND: battery power to close ENG bleed air valve + opens the start valve
56% N2: opposite

25%: Eng Start Lever to IDLE DETENT, opens fuel valves and causes EEC to supply fuel and ignition (fuel flow indications lag by 2seconds)

19
Q

Abnormal start protection ( GND ONLY)

A

Ground starts: EEC monitors engine parameters to detect impending:

hot starts: [rapid rise in EGT or EGT approaching start limit or compressor stall occurs]
- EGT box flashes white until ENG START LEVER CUTOFF or N2 at IDLE
- auto turn off the ignition and shuts off fuel to engine for impending hot start or stall

wet starts: [no EGT increase after ENG start lever IDLE DETENT]
- EEC turns off the ignition and shuts off fuel to the engine 15 seconds after ENG START LEVER switch to IDLE

EGT Starter Limit exceedance:
- both box and dial turn red
- EEC turns off the ignition and shuts off fuel to engine.
|- alert terminates and the display returns to white when EGT drops below the start limit
- following shutdown of both engines, EGT box turns red to remind the crew of exceedance

20
Q

Auto-relight

A

Provided for flameout protection
- when EEC detects ENG flameout, both ignitors activated.
- flameout is detected when an uncommanded rapid decrease in N2 occurs or N2 below idle RPM

21
Q

Reverse thrust
-available
- stowed

A

Available: RA below 10’, forward thrust levers in IDLE position and ground/air sensors sense ground mode

Stowed: the REVERSER light illuminates when thrust reverser is commanded to stow and extinguishes 10 seconds later when isolation valve closes. When REVERSER light illuminates for more than 12 seconds, malfunction has occurred and MASTER CAUTION and ENG system light illuminate.

When reverser sleeves in stow position, an electro-mechanical lock and a hydraulically operated locking actuator inhibit motion to each reverser sleeve until reverser extension is selected.

22
Q

AVM

A

Airborne Vibration Monitoring System

function: display of low and high pressure rotor synchronous vibration of the secondary engine display. Also used to balance the low pressure rotor.

23
Q

APU
- supply
-operating requirements
-powered

A
  • supplies bleed air for both packs on ground or one pack in flight
  • app fire switch must be IN
  • APU fire control handle on APU ground control panel must be IN
  • Battery switch must be ON
  • Powered from Transfer bus 1, if no AC power available: the starter generator uses battery power to start the APU. (BAT switch off: APU off)
24
Q

APU
- Start cycle
-switch off
- auto shutdown

A
  • may take as long as 120 seconds (0 to 1100 degrees EGT), when operating wait 2 minutes before using it as bleed air source
  • Trips APU generator, closes APU bleed air valve, shutdown occurs after 60 seconds: fuel valve + inlet close.
    When fuel valve doesn’t close FAULT LIGHT will illuminate after 30 seconds.
  • EGT exceedance, auto shutdown.
25
Q

ECU
- automatic shutdown

A
  • FAULT LIGHT, OVERSPEED LIGHT, LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT (and the conditions)
26
Q

APU Load shedding
when apu only source of electrical power:
- in flight
- on ground

A

in Flight: sheds galley power + main busses
on ground: attempts to carry all load. If no sufficient power: It will shed the galley power. No sufficient power? Main busses will be shed.
- manual restoration: CAB/UTIL switch off to ON
