(27 cards)
What lights are associated with the EBCAU system?
Both GOV and GOV
Is it forbidden to shut off one of the VEMD screens during flight?
No
How does the pilot isolate the yaw hydraulic circuit?
The hydraulic switch on the collective grip
On the VEMD FLI, what does the yellow arc indicate?
Takeoff Power
What is required on the B3e to attain the increased internal gross weight limit?
Dual hydraulics and high landing gear
During flight do you have to keep one of the screens on the First Limit Indicator?
No

Two (One to use, one as spare)
Prior to engaging the starting selector, an amber GOV light illuminates on the CWP. What are your next steps?
Do not start the engine, you have a minor FADEC failure
On the VEMD, what does a red underlining flashing on the torque indication during takeoff indicate?
You have reached maximum takeoff power
With dual hydraulics, are the hydraulic circuits completely independent of one another?
Yes
When does the engine page automatically get displayed? (2)
- During a start prior to approximately 60% N1
- If one of the parameters on the FLI page becomes invalid
On the N1 indicator, what does the red triangle indicate?
20 second maximum transient rating
During an engine start you receive a solid red GOV light. You should…
Move engine starting selector switch to the off position immediately
What does an intermittent tone in your headset indicate?
Approaching rotor overspeed limit
If you receive an OVERLIMIT DETECTED light on the VEMD, can you continue flying?
Yes, if no other accompanying indication has been shown

5 second maximum transient rating
What is the back up governor called?
The EBCAU -Engine Backup Control Ancillary Unit
What happens when the FADEC does not receive the N2 datum?
The N2 reverts to 394 rpm (NR equivalent), and the GOV light comes on
What controls the hydro-mechanical fuel control?
The FADEC
How is the LH circuit pump driven?
Gear driven
What should you do if you have a dual VEMD screen failure?
Reduce airspeed to below 100 kts depending on pressure altitude
Carry out a no hover landing as soon as practicable
On the VEMD FLI, what does the red line indicate?
maximum takeoff rating
On a start, how long can you go above the red line on the TOT indicator?
Below the red triangle you have a 10 second transient limit above the red line
