Emergency Procedures Steps and NWC Flashcards
Engine Malfunction in Flight (EMIF) Steps
1. Control Nr
2. Contingency Power - ON
3. Single Engine Conditions - Establish
4. Engine Anti-Ice switches - As required (5C and visible moisture)
5. External Cargo/stores/fuel - Jettison/Dump, as required
6*. Identify Malfunction
Engine High-Side Failure in Flight steps
1. EMIF - Perform
2. PCL (malfunctioning engine) retard to set -
a. 10% below good engine
b. Match Ng, TGT
Indications of a High-Side Failure
TRQ > 10% engine
Ng is > 5% other engine
Nr is > 103%
Np is matched within 5% of each other
Engine High-Side Failure NWC
(3 N, 1 C)
If an Np overspeed condition is reached (120%), the overspeed system will flame out the engine and the auto-ignition will relight the engines. If Nr is NOT controlled and Np accelerates back to 120% the overspeed system will flameout the engine again and auto-ignition will continue cycling until Nr/Np is controlled. Yaw kicks may be experienced.
N: Ng does NOT pass through the EDECU and is highly reliable signal
Torque may be erratic or drop off for high side driven by EDECU failure
N: Reducing collective will reveal increasing Nr and verify high-side failure
Engine High-Side Failure on Deck steps
1*. PCLs - IDLE
Indications of Engine Low Side Failure
- Torque is 10% below good engine
- Ng is 5% or less than good engine
- Np is at or below 98%
- Nr is at or below 97%
ENG Speed Low: Np is below 96% for more than 2 seconds
Engine Low Side Failure steps
1*. EMIF
2. PCL (malfunctioning engine) - Retard to set:
a. Torque 10% below good engine
b. Match Ng or match TGT
EMIF NWC (2 W)
W: Flying with greater than 110% with one engine inoperative may result in unrecoverable Nr decay in the event of a dual engine failure
W: With engine anti-ice on up to 18% torque available is lost. With malfunctioning engine inlet anti-ice up to 49% loss.
What do you lose/have to manually control when you advance PCL to lockout then retard to set appropriate conditions in a low-side failure
TGT limiting, load sharing, Np governing.
You control Ng and Np
Engine Torque or TGT Spiking/Fluctuations
1. EMIF
If fuel contamination is suspected
2. Land ASAP
Define Spiking
instantaneous, momentary excursion of an engine instrument that may/may not be accompanied by associated response in Ng, Np, or Nr.
Indications of TGT/Torque Spiking/Fluctuations
Torque Split - 10% difference
Nr, Torque, Ng or other instruments fluctuating may be indicative of water-contaminated fuel
Engine Torque or TGT Spiking/Fluctuations NWC (1 W with 3 Parts)
W: PCL movement during engine fluctuation may precipitate failure
W: Consider APU Emergency Start prior to manipulating PCLs
W: Maintaining a low power setting when moving PCLs will minimize Nr decay rate if the malfunctioning engine fails.
Indications of a Compressor Stall
Rapid increase in TGT, hangup or decrease in Ng, loss or power, changes in engine noises (muffled explosions)
Compressor Stall steps
1. EMIF
2. PCL (malfunctioning engine) - IDLE
