Max engine to engine N2 split at ground idle power

A

2%

10
Q

How much of the trust is produced by core air

A

Approximately 20%

11
Q

How much thrust is produced by by-pass air

A

Approximately 80%

12
Q

How many stages of compression do we have

A

10 stage axial flow compressor

13
Q

What accessories are driven off the N2 accessory gear box

A
Engine driven fuel pump
IDG (integrated driven generator)
Air turbine starter
Engine driven hydraulic pump
Oil pump
FADEC alternator
14
Q

What is engine bleed air used for

A

Engine start
Air conditioning
Pressurization
Wing and cowl anti-ice

15
Q

What stages of bleed air are used

A

Normal 6th stage and 10th stage used when demand exceeds 6th stage

16
Q

What allows 10th stage bleed air availability

A

Air conditioning system controller (ACSC) automatically opens the high pressure valve (HPV)

17
Q

How many igniters are installed on each engine

A

Two, IGN-A and IGN-B

18
Q

What are the required parameters before fuel is introduced during a ground engine start

A

20% or grater N2 ITT less than 120c

19
Q

What is the air pressure requirement provided by the operating engine to initiate a cross-bleed start

A

42 PSI to a maximum of 80% N2

20
Q

When will APR arm on takeoff

A

Engine speed within 8% of scheduled takeoff power normal or flex

21
Q

When will the APR system activate

A

Thrust levers in TOGA, Normal or flex thrust scheduled, and if N1s differ by 15% or greater or when thrust levers are set in the MAX POWER detent

22
Q

What occurs when the APR system activates

A

FADEC commands an N1 speed increase dependent on thrust lever position

23
Q

What indication will we have of APR activation

A

Green APR icon on operable engine N1 gauge

24
Q

If an engine fails during a go-around, will the APR system activate

A

Yes

25
Q

What is used to deploy and stow the thrust reversers

A

Hydraulics
L reverser uses hydraulic system 1
R reverser uses hydraulic system 2

26
Q

What indication will be seen with normal thrust reverser deployment

A

Green REV icon on N1 gauge

Q

When do the thrust revers need to be either stowed or at idle

A

CRJ-900 60 kts

CRJ-700 75 kts

28
Q

What happens when a thrust reverser inadvertently deploys

A

FADEC commands reverser to close and thrust set to idle on affected engine

29
Q

What are the indications of an inadvertent thrust reverser deployment

A

Amber REV icon on N1 gauge, REV UNLOCKED caution message
