the EEC by monitoring engine parameters
page 7.20.9
165
during ground start, EEC protects against hot starts, engine stalls, EGT start limit exceedance and wet start, does this work for infight starts as well ?
NO
page 7.20.9
166
when a rapid EGT rise or a compressor stall is detected the white box flashing the EGT will blink, how is this stopped ?

(Current versions of EEC automatically turn off the ignition and shuts off fuel)
page 7.20.9
167

hydraulically
page 7.20.12
176
what does the thrust revers system consist of ?
right and left translating sleeves
page 7.20.12
177
how does the thrust revers system works ?
Aft movement of the reverser sleeves causes blocker doors to deflect fan discharge air forward, through fixed cascade vanes, producing reverse thrust
178
what produces hydraulic pressure to operate the thrust reversers ?
hydraulic system A for NG 1
hydraulic system B for NG 2
+
standby hydraulic system
page 7.20.12
179
when usins the standby hydraulic system does the thrust reversers of the effected system move at the same rate as the normal operating rate ?
NO
slower rate that can cause asymmetry
page 7.20.12
180
thrust reversers are meant for gorund operations, but when are you actually allowed to use it ?
- when Radio Altimer senses less then 10 feet altitude
or
- air/ground safety sensor is in ground mode
page 7.20.12
181
explain how the mechanical mechanism of the reversers actually works ?
When reverse thrust is selected, an electro–mechanical lock releases, the isolation valve opens and the thrust reverser control valve moves to the deploy position, allowing hydraulic pressure to unlock and deploy the reverser system.
page 7.20.12
182
what is the aim of the interlock mechanism ?
to restrict movement of the revers trhust levers until the revers sleeves have approached the deployed position
page 7.20.12
183
is the movemente of the reverser sleeve from the stowed position indicated in the cockpit ?
YES
Amber REV indication on the upper displayed unit
page 7.20.12
184
when does the Amber REV indication on the upper display become green ?
as the thrust reversers reach the deployed position
page 7.20.12
185
when can you move the revers thrust levers to detent
No. 2 ?
when the REV indication illuminates green indicating the fully deployed position of the thrust reverser sleeves
page 7.20.12
186
for which type of operations is the detent No.2 of the reverse thrust levers used ?
normal ops
page 7.20.12
187
is there a position available for the reverse thrust levers passed No.2 ?
YES
maximum reverse thrust position
page 7.20.12
188
what type of reverse thrust is rappresented by detent No.1 ?
idle reverse thrust
page 7.20.12
189
when about to close the reverse thrust levers what happens when passing detent No.1 ?
initiates the command to stow the reversers
page 7.20.12
190
what happens in the system once the reverse thrust levers reach the full down position ?
the control valve moves to the stow position allowing hydraulic pressure to stow and lock the reverser sleeves
After the thrust reverser is stowed, the isolation valve closes and the electro–mechanical lock engages.
page 7.20.12
191
when the thrust reversers are commanded to stow is this indicated in any way ?
YES
by a REVERSER light that exstingushes 10 sec after isolation valve closes
page 7.20.12
192
if after commanding the thrust reverser to stow the REVERS indication light takes more then 10 sec to extinguish what would that mean? and what would happen ?
a malfunction has occured
the MASTER CAUTION and ENG annunciator lights illuminate
page 7.20.13
193
what could happen if pausing after passing detend No.1 toward the stow position of the reverse thrust levers ?
MASTER CAUTION and ENGINE annunciation light may illuminate
page 7.20.12
194
A pause after passing detent No.1 toward the stowed position of approximately 18 seconds engages the electro-mechanical lock and prevents the thrust reverser sleeves from further movement,
how can you clear this fault ?
by cycling the thrust reversers
page 7.20.12
195
what does the Reverse Thrust Auto-restow system do ?
in the event of incomplete stowage or uncommanded movement of the reverser sleeves toward the deployed position, the auto–restow circuit opens the isolation valve and commands the control valve to the stow position directing hydraulic pressure to stow the reverser sleeves.
page 7.20.12
196

No.1 AC transfer bus if AC power available
or
main battery

212
is it necessery to monitor the APU EGT during APU start ?
NO
becasue there is a lot of flactuation of the EGT and the LOW OIL PRESSURE light which is normal
page 7.30.2
213
what is the main difference between starting the APU with the transfer bus and the battery ?
When the APU is started using battery power only, there is no indication on the electrical metering panel that the APU generator has come on line and is ready to be selected (no blue light illuminates)

the switch trips the APU generator,
closes the APU bleed air valve and
extinguishes the APU GEN OFF BUS light.
page 7.30.2

how long after placing the APU switch to OFF does the APU actually shut down ?
60 sec
page 7.30.2
221
what do the fuel valve and inlet door have to wait for before closing during shut down ?
APU speed to decrease sufficiently
page 7.30.2
222
what indication do we have if the fuel valve does not close ?
the FAIL light will illuminate after 30 sec
page 7.30.2
223
how can you immediatelly shut down the APU ?
