Q

What does the fuel control switch control?

A

Fuel control switch controls the spar fuel valve.

It also arms the engine fuel valve and igniters for the EEC to operate.

16
Q

What system provides Thrust Control Malfunction Accommodation, and how does it work?

A

Provided by the EEC. Commands shutdown of affected engine when:

  • Airplane on the ground, and
  • Thrust lever is at idle
  • Engine above idle speed and not decelerating normally.

Q

Is TAP available available in both EEC modes?

A

Thrust Asymmetry Protection available in EEC normal or alternate modes.
Flight controls must be in normal mode.

Q

With TAP active, will there be a decrease in climb performance?

A

No. Any decreased climb performance will be due to mismanaged speed, not TAP.

19
Q

When TAP is active, what indication will be displayed on EICAS?

A

As TAP reduces thrust, the maximum and commanded TPR tics move down to the reduced TAP thrust value. The reference/target TPR and thrust levers do NOT move.

20
Q

Where is the reverser indication displayed?

What does amber and green REV indicate?

A

Thrust reverser indication displayed over TPR gauges on EICAS.
Amber REV indicates reverser in transit, green REV indicates reverser deployed.

21
Q

What is the indication of TAP inoperative?

A

EICAS “THRUST ASYM PROT”

22
Q

How is the reference TPR displayed?

A

Displayed with a green/magenta chevron symbol on the TPR gauge.

23
Q

Why should the thrust levers be moved to the mid positions before selecting Alternate Mode on the EEC?

A

To prevent overboost. Alternate mode will provide same or higher thrust for the same thrust lever position.

24
Q

What powers the thrust reversers?

A

Left and right hydraulic systems.

25
Q

What indication is there on EICAS of EEC alternate mode?

A

EICAS “ENG EEC MODE L/R”

26
Q

How can an exceeded EGT indication be recalled?

A

By pressing the CNC/RCL switch.

27
Q

Which engine is installed and what is the thrust rating?

A

Trent 1000G - 63.700lbs

Trent 1000J - 74.400lbs

28
Q

When is the EGT max continuous limit indication inhibited and for how long?

A

Inhibited on takeoff and go-around.

5 minute inhibit, 10 minutes for S/E operations.

29
Q

What is the indication of an N1, N2 or EGT exceedance?

A

If indication reaches red line operating limit,
digital readout, dial, box and pointer changes to red.
The box will remain red after back within operating limits. Can be cancelled/recalled.

30
Q

What powers the EEC’s?

A

During engine start, airplane power. After engine start, PMA’s.

31
Q

What is the indication when overspeed protection is active?

A

EICAS “ENG RPM LIMITED”

32
Q

When is the engine vibration indicated in reverse video?

A

When above 4.0

33
Q

What conditions will the autostart system try to correct for?

A
  • Hot start
  • Hung start
  • Wet start (no EGT rise)
  • Compressor stall
  • Loss of one starter
  • Start time exceeds starter duty cycle time
34
Q

For what conditions will the autostart NOT attempt a second start?

A
  • Loss of both starters

- No N1 rotation

35
Q

When do the EEC’s set Ice Crystal Idle in flight?

A
  • OAT between ISA and ISA+29C, and

- Altitude between 5000’ and 35.000’

36
Q

Will TPR, reference and target N1, maximum and commanded N1 all be displayed in alternate EEC mode?

A

Only displayed in hard alternate mode. TPR will always be blank in soft or hard alternate modes.

37
Q

What is the significance of EICAS “ENG LIMIT PROT”?

A

Commanded N1 greater than maximum rated thrust.

EEC in alternate mode

38
Q

What is the secondary air system?

A

A system regulating intermediate pressure stage 8 and high pressure stage 3 bleed to provide cooling and sealing airflow to the intermediate pressure turbine.

39
Q

What are the indications of a SASV failed in open position?

A

EICAS “ENG THRUST HIGH”, or

EICAS “ENG SEC AIR VLV”

40
Q

What are the implications of a SASV failed in the open position?

A

Rapidly rising temperatures in the SAS, could result in overheated engine bearings.

41
Q

How are the ignitors powered? Backup power?

A

Aircraft DC power.

Backup power by the standby power system.

42
Q

When is soft alternate mode selected automatically by the EEC?

A

When the required signals are not available.

43
Q

What is the controlling parameter used by the EEC for setting thrust in normal vs. alternate mode?

A

Normal - TPR

Alternate - N1
