- aircraft on the ground, and
- below 80 kts prior to takeoff, or 30 seconds after touchdown
- When is the ENG FAIL alert displayed?
- The respective engine is operating at a condition below sustainable idle (63% N2), and
- the engine start lever is in the IDLE position
- How are the secondary engine instruments toggled?
ENG is selected on the Multi-Function Display panel
