16
Q

What protection is provided by the EEC in both NORM and ALTN modes?

A

N1, N2, N3 redline overspeed protection

17
Q

What does the EEC command if N1, N2, N3 approaches overspeed?

A

Reduced fuel flow

18
Q

What does the FUEL CONTROL and ENGINE FIRE switches control?

A

Fuel spar valve

19
Q

What does the engine’s oil system provide?

A

High pressure oil for cooling and lubricating the main bearings, gears, and the accessory drive unit

20
Q

Where is oil pressure measured?

A

Prior to entering the engine

21
Q

Where is oil temperature measured?

A

After leaving the engine

22
Q

What are the three bleed air sources for starting the engine?

A
  • APU
  • High pressure ground air
  • The other engine, if it’s running
23
Q

How long must the engines be warmed up before applying takeoff power if they have been shut down for up to 1.5 hours?

A

3 minutes

24
Q

How long must the engines be warmed up before applying takeoff power if they have been shut down for over 1.5 hours?

A

5 minutes

25
Q

What happens when the AUTOSTART switch is ON and FUEL CONTROL switch is in the RUN position?

A
  • Spar valve opens
  • Engine fuel valve arms
  • The selected igniter arms
26
Q

What is not monitored by the AUTOSTART system?

A
  • Oil pressure
  • Oil temperature
27
Q

What malfunctions will the AUTOSTART system make a 2nd start attempt for?

A
  • Hot start
  • Hung Start
  • No EGT rise
  • Compressor stall

“ Hot, hung, no, bang”

28
Q

On the ground, what malfunctions will the AUTOSTART system NOT make a 2nd start attempt for?

A
  • Starter shaft fails
  • Insufficient air pressure
  • No N1 rotation
  • Start time exceeds the starter duty cycle
  • Start is aborted above starter cutout speed

“SANDE”

29
Q

What does the EEC activate the auto relight function for?

A
  • Engine flameout protection
  • Rain and hail ingestion
30
Q

When is the auto relight function activated?

A
  • When an engine is at or below idle with the FUEL CONTROL SWITCH set to RUN
  • When excessive rain or hail is ingested
31
Q

When does the EEC disables the auto relight function?

A
  • If engine does not recover and N3 drops below 35%
  • Fuel and ignition are also shut off
32
Q

What are the three EEC Idle Modes?

A
  • Minimum
  • Intermediate
  • Approach
33
Q

When is Minimum Idle Mode commanded by the EEC?

A

During ground operations

34
Q

When is the Intermediate Idle mode commanded by the EEC?

A

When the landing gear is in the DN position

35
Q

When is the Approach Idle Mode commanded by the EEC?

A
  • When flaps are commanded to 25 or greater
  • When engine anti-ice is in use
  • When one hydraulic air-driven demand pump is inoperative with flaps out of the UP position
  • When the opposite engine bleed air valve is closed

Note: Approach Idle decreases acceleration time in the event of a Go-Around

36
Q

What happens when the thrust reverse levers are at the interlock position?

A
  • Autothrottle disengages
  • Auto speed brakes deploy if not previously armed
