True

Question 13

The main purpose of the oil in the engine is ___

Answer 13

Lubricate the engine bearings

Lubricate the AGB bearings

The FADEC ignites ___ starter(s) for ground starts and ___ starter(s) for inflight engine starts

Answer 14

1 on the ground, both in flight

Question 15

(T/F) When the ignition is placed into OVRD all 4 igniters are activated.

Answer 15

True

Question 16

Igniters 1B and 2B are connected to _____

Answer 16

SPDA2

Answer 23

~20% N2

Question 24

In an air start the fuel metering valve will automatically open if the FADEC hasn’t detected the N2 to reach ___% after ___ seconds

Answer 24

20% N2 after 15 seconds

Question 25

(T/F) The FADEC has no protection for hot starts, hung starts or failure to light-off for in-flight engine starts.

Answer 25

True

Question 26

During an in-flight engine start, if no light off is detected within ___ sec. after fuel flow is started, the start should be manually aborted

Answer 26

30 seconds

Question 27

The FADEC start protection logic provides protection from: - - - It only provides this with a ________ detection

Answer 27

- Automatic hot start protection - Hung start protection - No light-off protection It only protects when it detects weight on wheels

Question 28

The hot start protection will terminate the start when ITT rises above ___C during a ground start. It does this by ______ and ______

Answer 28

815C Closing the fuel metering valve and shutting off the ignition
