Q

What does “High by pass ratio” mean ?

A

Air goes into engine is divided into flows
* Most of the air flows out of the engine core, and provide most of engine thrust
* The remain air enters the core engine

The air which provide most of the engine thrust is call by pass air

A

FADEC do it automatically when N2 reach 43%

NEO 55%

55
Q

What “COOLING” memo displayed on E/WD mean ?

A

Engines are cranking

56
Q

Why do we need to crank the engine after failed start attemp ?
