By heat exchange with the fuel

70

72
Q

What does the thrust reversers require prior to activation?

A

At least 1 FADEC channel op

Landing Gear Control and Interface Unit (LGCIU) detects aircraft is on the ground.

73
Q

When would you get a FAULT light on the engine control section of the pedestal?

A

Auto start is aborted

Start valve fault

HP fuel valve not in commanded position

74
Q

What does the IGN/START switch do?

A

Manually selects continuous ignition

Prepares the engine for the start process

75
Q

What does the CRANK switch do?

A

Prepares the engine for dry cranking (no ignition or fuel flow)

Starter will engage when MAN START is selected

76
Q

How long is TOGO powered limited to?

A

5 minutes

77
Q

What is the speed limitation of Max Reverse?

A

Max reverse should not be used below 70 kts

78
Q

What are the 2 auto-thrust modes?

A

Armed: during TOGO or FLX or when Thrust levers not in active range (between CLB and IDLE)

Active: pushing the FCU A/THR pb

79
Q

When auto-thrust is activated, what do the levers do?

A

The lever now become thrust limiters, therefore us leave them at the CL detent to give auto-thrust full authority.

Note: the exception is when Alpha Floor is activated in which TOGA power is activated regardless of lever position

80
Q

How can you disengage auto-thrust?

A

Disengage buttons on the levers

Selecting A/THR pb off

Moving the thrust levers to idle (landing)

81
Q

The amber tick mark on the EGT gauge is the calculated max EGT for that thrust range. When is the tick mark not present?

A

TO
Reverse
Alpha floor

82
Q

What is the red tick mark on the EGT gauge?

A

Highest value achieved

83
Q

What does a “+” by N1 mean?

A

N1 went above 100%

84
Q

When will the oil pressure be amber?

A

<80psi

85
Q

When will the oil pressure be red?

A

<60psi

86
Q

When will oil temp be amber?

A

>155C

87
Q

When will oil temp be red?

A

>155C for 15 minutes or >165C

88
Q

When will vibration pulse?

A

5 units

89
Q

Which engine is started first and why?

A

2 because it provides pressure for the yellow hydraulic system which provides parking brake pressure

90
Q

What is the memory air for ensuring a stabilized engine start?

A

2,4,6,8,10

20% N1
400 EGT
60% N2
800 Fuel Flow
1.0 EPR

91
Q

Why would you manually start an engine?

A

To allow the engine to reach its max motoring speed prior to ignition and fuel flow

92
Q

When is a manual start recommended?

A

Engine Stall

EGT overlimit

LO START AIR PRESS

No N1 rotation

Hungstart

IGN A/B Fault

93
Q

What is the minimum N2% required for a manual start prior to turning ON the engine master switch?

A

15% N2

94
Q

When does the FADEC close the start valve?

A

N2 between 43-48%

95
Q

What are the advantages to a FLEX TO?

A

Extending engine life

less fuel

96
Q

What does the FADEC do to reduce Fan Flutter?

A

Prevents N1 from stabilizing 60-74% N1, thus when you advance thrust levers, it will skip this range

97
Q

What EPR valve do you aim for to ensure proper engine indications before setting TO power?

A

1.1 EPR

98
Q

When shutting down the engine using the ENG FIRE button what happens?

A

Only the LP fuel valve is closed causing a 40 second delay as the fuel in the line is burned.

99
Q

When will the FADEC abort a start on the ground and indicate a FAULT?

A

Starter time exceeded

EGT overtemp

No light off

Lower than normal N1

Starter failure

Hung Start

100
Q

How can you tell if the FADEC reverted to UNRATED N1 mode?

A

Loss of the max N1% tick mark

101
Q

At what OAT would you select TOGA rather than FLEX?

A

When FLEX temp is within 10 degrees of OAT to avoid asymmetrical thrust (EPR/N1 discrepancy)
