A320/A319 ECAM SYS PAGES Flashcards
What are displayed on the ENG SYS Page on the Lower SD?
Engines Secondary Parameters.
What happens if there is an N1 exceedence?
If 104% N1 is exceeded
a red index mark appears &
remains at the maximum value achieved.
It will disappear after:
- a new engine start,
on the ground, or
- after MOC action via MCDU.

Displayed in GREEN.
How is this computed?
Computed by FADEC
for the present Thrust Lever Angle.
On Ground/Engines Running:

displays Flex N1 thrust levers below FLX/MCT.
No Flex selected:
displays TOGA thrust limit
regardless of TLA.
Actual EGT is represented by a
Needle & also a digital readout on the

It is usually displayed in GREEN,
What makes it change to Amber/Red?
-It Pulses AMBER above 915ºC
(except for high power ops; FLX, MCT, TOGA, A/FLOOR)
- It pulses AMBER above 725ºC during Eng Start
- It pulses RED above 950ºC &
the digital value becomes RED.
How is MAX EGT displayed on the EGT dial?
