Answer 4

30knots

Question 5

Max tailwind for engine start

Answer 5

20 knots

Question 6

The preferred method of engine air start is

Answer 6

Automatic

Question 7

What engines are on the 550?

Answer 7

Rolls-Royce BR 710C4-11

Rated for 15385 pounds of thrust

Question 8

During a normal engine start, ignition icons will be seen when the pilot completes what action?

Answer 8

Move the fuel control switch to RUN

Question 9

What should be accomplished if engine vibration levels .80HP or .80LP?

Answer 9

Engine thrust should be reduced, and possibly shut down if other parameters are abnormal

Question 10

When will fadec automatically accelerate the engine to high idle speed?

Answer 10

When flaps are set to 39°

Question 11

What will happen if a thrust reverser deploys inflight?

Answer 11

The fadec will command idle fuel flow, and the throttle will remain in its last commanded position.

Question 12

If TGT exceeds the max permissible value during an engine start, what action will be taken by the fadec?

Answer 12

On the ground, engine start will terminate automatically.

In the air, the start will continue

Question 13

Where are the standby engine instruments displayed?

Answer 13

On standby engine instrument page in MCDU 1

Question 14

How can residual TGT be reduced prior to engine start?

Answer 14

Perform an engine cranking cycle, or allow the engine to crank longer during a normal engine start cycle

Question 15

What is the min bleed air pressure for engine start?

Answer 15

40 psi

Question 16

Will an engine start if the power lever is not idle

Answer 16

Yes, an amber L or R THROTTLE CONFIGURATION CAS message will illuminate and the engine will accelerate to the thrust setting of the lever position

Question 17

If peak EVM values exceed the alert level during engine start, what action must be performed?

Answer 17

Normally no action is required, this condition is usually normal

Question 18

What are the indications if the Fadec detects an anomaly during start?

Answer 18

The start sequence will be aborted and an amber CAS AUTOSTART ABORT message will be displayed

Question 19

How is the fadec reset after an auto start abort?

Answer 19

By selecting the START MASTER switch to OFF, or selecting the L/R fuel control to off

Question 20

When should SVO and IGN indication extinguish after start

Answer 20

At approximately 47% HP

Question 21

When should TGT split between engines be reported to maintenance?

Answer 21

Greater than 65°C

Question 22

What are the engine duty cycle limits?

Answer 22

3min on, 15 secs off for 3 start attempts, then wait 15 min for the next attempt

Question 23

What will cause a BLUE SWITCH CONFIGURATION CAS

Answer 23

Selecting both crank and start master switches

Question 24

What will cause an AMBER THROTTLE CONFIGURATION CAS

Answer 24

Throttles not in idle position prior to start

Question 25

What does it mean if a blue L or R ALT CTRL CAS message is illuminated prior to engine start?

Answer 25

The engines have switched to alternate control mode (LP)

Question 26

How is the Fadec system switched back to the normal mode if it has switched to ALT control

Answer 26

Select the sensor page on the display controller, then select ENG DATA and deselect L or R ALT CTRL

Question 27

Can the aircraft be dispatched with the engines in ALT control?

Answer 27

No

Question 28

In a tailwind condition, why is it important to verify positive LP RpM prior to selecting fuel control to run?

Answer 28

The Fadec only senses LP rpm, but it cannot tell the difference between positive or negative rotation.

Question 29

If after starting both engines, the right pack is off and the isolation valve is OPEN, What is the cause.

Answer 29

Start master is still selected on

Question 30

What are correct indications for an engine vibration monitor test?

Answer 30

An Amber CAS ENGINE EXCEEDANCE , and EVM indications between 1.8-2.2

Question 31

What is the normal power source for the Fadec and when does it normally turn on?

Answer 31

It has its own dedicated source , PMA (permanent magnetic alternator), and it comes on above 35%HP

Question 32

What is the LP RPM that is to be avoided on the ground (keep out zone)

Answer 32

60-80% LP

Question 33

What are some items that can cause the Fadec to automatically turn on the IGN

Answer 33

Normal engine start Excessive rain Fadec senses a malfunction

Question 34

When is an engine start fully protected

Answer 34

When using the start master, on the ground only

Question 35

On landing, the thrust reverser should be idle/stowed by what speed?
