Q
New EEC Shutdown Protections
A
Electronic Overspeed (EOS):

Thrust Control Malfunction Accomodation (TCMA):
- Uncontrolled high thrust event on the ground,
- Protection against unacceptable high asymmetric thrust,
- EEC shuts off fuel to the engine with high thrust,
- Below 63% N2 “ENG FAIL” alert shows up
When the engine start lever is moved to the idle detent:
- EEC performs a functional test of the EOS and TCMA logic,
- During this test fuel flow will indicate zero and the engine fuel shut off valve will open and close repeatedly
18

Q
MCAS General
A
- Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System,
- MCAS added as a Pitch Stability Augmentation,
- Need for the MCAS: Larger and more forward engines affects flight characteristics,

- Controls Stabilizer Trim High speed function (flaps extended mode),
- Adds nose down stabilizer trim inputs incrementally
25
MCAS Activation Conditions
- AoA above threshold,
- Flaps UP,
- Up to MACH .84,
- A/P not engaged,
- 10s after T/O
26
MCAS Command Limit Logic
- Command Limit Logic computes a nose down stabilizer limit (for a current trim),
- If limit reached: within 5 minutes or before A/P engagement for a 1 continuos minute Speed Trim System inhibited,
- After the time above Command Limit Logic resets,
- Limit can be reached any trim inputs (manual, A/P etc),
- The forward stabilizer limit is between 2.5 (low speed) and 0.65 (high MACH)
27
MCAS New FCC Logic Enchantments

28
MCAS Single MCAS Activation Logic
Ensures MCAS activate once per elevated AoA event
29
MCAS AoA Comparison Logic

- If Vanes disagree by 5.5 degrees or more with Flaps UP, Speed Trim System inhibited for the remainder of flight
30
SPEED TRIM FAIL Light
- Failure of Speed Trim System (if one function fails the other function is inhibited),
- If Vanes disagree by 5.5 degrees or more with Flaps UP, System inhibited for the remainder of flight
31
Stabilizer Trim Override System
- In addition to control column switches, Software Column Cutout Function added to FCC,
- It stops Speed Trim and A/P trim function in case of a opposite control column command,
- Both the control column and software one DOES NOT INHIBIT MCAS Nose Down commands
32
Runaway Stabilizer Protection
- Cross FCC Trim Monitor,
- FCCs continuously monitors each others trim commands (except dual channel approach),
- If erroneous trim command detected, that sides commands inhibited for the remainder of flight,
- SPEED TRIM FAIL light can illuminate automatically or during RECALL,
- A/P and CWS can disengage automatically,
- If activated on the ground below 30KT with both engines running, STAB OUT OF TRIM illuminates
33
