32
Explain LEAP-1B engine?
33
Electronic Overspeed System (EOS)
EEC function protection - exceedance of engine structural design limit. Uncontrollable N2 overspeed condition in flight - EEC shuts off fuel flow to engine. Amber ENG FAIL N2 below N2 idle speed. THRUST may appear depending on flight condition, power setting and ENG FAIL timing.

Ground MIn Flight MIn Icing IDle App Idle
35
Icing idle?
Flaps up Main gear Not down/locked EAI on
36
Icing mode, EEC transition?
Min flight idle at 30400ft, increase idle in descent - full icing idle at/below 22000ft.
37
Approach idle selected?
Flaps 15 of greater any time flaps not up and EAI ON.
38
Icing idle vs app idle?
Given airspeed and Alt the N1/N2 higher for icing idle than app idle.
39
Same condition, app idle vs min flight idle?
App idle higher than flight min idle.
40

lubricate engine bearings and acc gearbox.
50

downstream of oil pump prior to engine lubrication.
51
Engine and fuel indications sensed by EEC, except?
oil quantity engine valve closed
52
GRD, Eng start switch uses which power to close engine bleed air valve and open start valve?

65
Each engine igniters?
2
66
Igniter get power from?
L - AC transfer bus R - AC Standby bus
67
Auto relight?
flameout EEc detects flameout - BOTH igniters active

rapid drop in N2 N2 below idle rpm
69
2 ways to start inflight?
Windmill crossbleed

oil scavenge pump not enough pressure to return oil to tank
72
X-BLD / XB indication based on?
alt speed N2
73
Inflight start red lines explain? NG
only EGT redline - inflight limit BOTH egt redline and egt start limit - start limit is the EGT start limit for engine start.
74
Max inflight start?

Translating sleeve Blocker door cascade vanes
76
TR can be deployed?
RA less 10ft air/grnd safety sensor ground mode
77
RT selected to deployment of reverser system explain?
RT select electro mechanical lock release isolation valve opens TR control valve moves to deploy position, allow HYD press to unlock and deploy the reverser system.
78

reverser sleeve move from stowed position.
80
TR at deployed position?
Green REV, lever can be raised to detent 2.
81
Reverser light ON/OFF?
On when TR commanded to stow. extinguish 10s later when isolation valve closes. Reverser light on more 12s - malfunction, MCAUT and ENG.
82
Detent 1 to stow - pause=MCAUT and ENG. 16s pause?
engages elec mechanical lock - prevents TR sleeves from movement. Cycling TR may clear fault.
83
What inhibits motion to each reverser sleeve?
electro mechanical lock Hyd operated locking actuator
84
Auto restow circuit?
compares actual reverser sleeve position and commanded reverser position. Incomplete stowage or uncommanded movement of Rev sleeves - auto restow circuit opens isolation valve and commands the control valve to stow position, directing HYD press to stow rev sleeves. Auto restow circuit active - isolation valve remains open and control valve held in stowed position untill TR commanded to deploy or maint.
85
AVM System?
engine vibration levels. low/high pressure rotor sync vibration. balance low press rotor
86

89
APU protective shutdown - 3 indications?
Fault Overspeed Low Oil press
90
What controls APU speed through EFC?
ECU
91
Speed or EGT exceed levels providing elec load?
Elec load is shed.
92
Elec load and bleed load raise EGT during engine start?
elec load first then bleed shed
93
