On ground idle, EEC monitors commanded vs actual N3 speed to find out a flame out. Above idle power settings, EEC monitors N3, P30 (burner pressure) and aircraft altitude to find for a flame out, but also EEC monitors T30 thermocouples to find a condition of flame out due a heavy rain / hail ingestion.
