What looks normal during Compact Display format?
EPR, N1
At what point during a normal approach and landing are the thrust reference mode, reference EPR and target ERP indication not displayed?
When the reversers are fully deployed.
What is the takeoff thrust reduction limited to?
A 25% reduction in takeoff thrust, or selected climb thrust… whichever is greater.
What is the percentage for reduced climb thrust?.. usually
climb 1 ~ 94%
climb 2 ~ 88%
What will cycle primary to secondary channels?
If the primary becomes incapable of control.. or during engine shutdown inflight
What causes N1 control mode and what happens?
When inadequate parameter for EPR control.. Small thrust increase and EPR goes blank.
What are some effects from N2 control mode?
Auto thrust limit not avail… eng accel and stagger is affected… inflight idle… Reverse thrust must be controlled manually
How does L/R ENG STATOR affect engine out operations?
Restart is not possible.
The EEC does not provide ___ over temperature protection.
EGT
What are the three idle speeds?
Ground minimum idle, inflight minimum idle, and approach idle.
What controls the start valves?
Engine start selectors
What controls ignition and fuel flow
Fuel control switches
What happens when you move the engine start selector to the GND position?
Start valve opens, engages air driven starter to the N3 motor, closes the Bleed valve
During engine start what happes at approx 50% N2?
Start selector moves to AUTO.. starter cutsout/start valve closes… bleed air valve reference switch
When is the inflight start envelope displayed?
When an engine is not running, the resp eng fire switch is not pulled, and both EICAS displays are selected.
Briefly describe the ignitors.
Two ignitors.. Use both for inflight starts.. Main AC is normal.. Standby AC for backup..
What happens when the reverse thrust levers are pulled aft to the interlock position?
the autothrottle disengages… the autospeedbrakes deploy
What happens when the reverser system is activated?
isolation opens sleeves move aft… flow doors rotate to direct air.. the REV is displayed
What happens during deployment when the interlock releases?
levers can be raised to max.. REV to green when fully deployed..
Describe the APU start sequence.
-ON .. fuel pump on (DC if no ac pwr/ AC if AC power avail)
-Start .. APU fuel valve open.. Inlet door opens.. fuel pump on.. (door open) starter engages.. (proper speed) fuel and ignition
What is the APU starter duty cycle?
Maximum of 3 consecutive starts or attempts within a sixty minute period.
Conditions leading to engine start abort?
No oil pressure,high fuel flow, no rise in EGT in 20 seconds or rapid rise or limit
Engine warmup prior to TO?
3 minute minimum, 5 minute target
Engine cool down prior to shutdown?
2 minute minimum a 757
Engine starting parameters to selecting fuel control switch to RUN?
15-25% N3
eða..
