Q

Stop Start Criteria
FLIHOS

A
  • Fuel flow >500pph before light-off (possible hot start)
  • Light-off does not occur within 10 seconds of setting start lever to idle (wet start)
  • Impending hot start (EGT approaching 725)
  • Hung Start (N1 or N2 stagnating, EGT higher than normal)
  • Oil pressure; positive oil pressure not indicated by starter cutout
  • Starter fails to cut out (valve indicator does not go out or duct pressure does not increase) by 55% N2, call “stop start” and close engine bleed air valve to prevent starter damage

Q

6 Conditions for using Ignitors
TITLES

A
  • Takeoff (at least 1 ignitor shall remain on until aircraft is cleaned up and thrust reduced for climb)
  • Inlet icing conditions (turn on at least one ignitor prior to using the nacelle anti-ice system
  • Turbulence (moderate or severe or ay flight condition in which airflow through the engine could be disturbed)
  • Landing (at least one ignitor per engine shall be on)
  • Engine relight attempts (both ignitors on unless attempting to relight all 4 engines; in that scenario, one ignitor for outboards, both ignitors for inboards)
  • Starting engines
