26
What 4 items are shut off when the T-Handles are pulled and what 2 items are armed?
1) Bleed Air 2) Hydraulics 3) Fuel 4) Electric 1) Arm squibs 2) Fire Indication
27
How much fuel is required to operate 1 engine to ground idle?
15,000 pounds
28
How much fuel is required to operate 4 engines to 75% N2?

2,000 pounds
31
What does the Red Disc located on the #2&3 engine struts mean if it has popped?
Thermal discharge into Air
32
What does the Yellow Disc located on the #2&3 engine struts mean if it has popped?
Fire discharge into Engine
33
What characterizes a HUNG START?
1) High EGT 2) Abnormally slow acceleration 3) RPM stabilizes below ground idle
34
What characterizes a FALSE START?
EGT rises with no RPM rise
35
What characterizes a HOT START?
1) EGT exceeds 725 C | 2) Fuel flow >680 PPH
36
What characterizes a NO START?
EGT does not rise
37
What characterizes a SUB IDLE START STALL?
1) N2 rolls back 2) EGT rises, 3) Fuel flow is NOT an indicator
38
What should you do if the starter light fails to go out within 10 seconds and N2 is above 45%?
Place Throttles to CUTOUT and Bleed Air Valve to CLOSE
39
What should you do if you have an IDG failure light?
Shut Down affected engine
40
What happens if you shut the hydraulic pressure and auxillary pumps off prior to N2 reaching 0%?
The hydraulic reservoirs will overflow
41
What happens if you shut off the fuel boost pumps prior to N2 reaching 0%?
the N2 core will cavitate
42
Engine Danger areas at Idle thrust?
25 feet forward of engine inlet 5 feet to either side of engine inlet 180 feet aft of engine exhaust
43
Engine Danger areas at TRT thrust?
50 feet forward of engine inlet 6 feet on either side of engine inlet 900 feet of engine exhaust
44
Firefighting chemicals should not be directed into the engine air inlet or tailpipe unless
fire is restricted to those areas and is of serious proporitions
45
What should you do before pulling the fire switch and why?
Always place throttles to CUT-OFF. Pulling fire switch first could damage the engine fuel pump
46
Outboard engine run above idle, the corresponding engine on the opposite wing at a thrust setting
that approximates within 5% N1 rpm
47
When running an inboard engine above 40% N1 rpm, maintain balanced thrust by operating the corresponding engine on the opposite wing at a thrust setting
that approximates within 5% N1 rpm
48
During icing conditions, prior to exceeding 70% N1 if engine has operated at idle for more than 10 minutes, accelerate engine to
35% N1 to shed initial ice and check for unusual vibration or noise then accelerate slowly to 70%N1 and hold for 15 seconds to shed remainder of ice
49
Do not re-engage pneumatic starter above what?
25% N2. Re-engagement above this speed may result in starter damage
50
A stall is indicate by
abornmal engine noises, loud reports accompanied by flame from the engine exhaust and possible from engine inlet, fluctuating performance parameters, sluggish or no throttle response.
51
How long can you use the ignition system?
designed for unlimited use.
52
Combustion occurs withing _____ after throttle lever is advanced to START
10 seconds (normal combustion 2-3 seconds)
53
Pneumatic starter initiates automatic cutout between ___ and ___ N2 and takes ___ to ___ seconds to complete cutout sequence
43% and 45% | 3 to 9 seconds
54
How much oil pressure before placing throttle lever to IDLE
11 psi
55
Normal Takeoff thrust setting Max N1 and Max N2
Max N1 is 102% and Max N2 is 105%
56
Max EGT for normal take off settings is
905 C
57
Max Continuous Power setting Max N1 and Max N2 is
102% N1 and 105% N2
58
Max EGT for continuous power and below is
870 C
59
Why do you place the GEN BREAKER switches to CLOSE and then TRIP?
To prevent the generators from automatically coming on line after engine start
60
When defueling or transferring fuel the Navigation lights need to be positioned in
STEADY
61
Fuel consumption must be monitored during engine run to ensure CG does not shift
AFT of 35 percent MAC
62
Operate Engine anti-ice switch
5 minutes if temp is 32-0 F with 50% or more humidity | 10 minutes for temps below 0F
63
Light off will normally occur withing
2 or 3 seconds after placing throttle lever to STARTposition
64
Max motor speed is defined as
less than 1% increase in N2 rpm in 5 seconds
