16
Q

What is the usable capacity of Each Engine Oil Tank?

A
  • 11.6 US Quarts (10.9 Liters) / 16 hrs of flight = 5 Qts minimum.
  • Note: Oil Qty below 4.3 Qts=> EICAS Advisory msg “L(R) ENG OIL LO QTY”.
17
Q

How is Engine Oil Cooled?

A

By 2 Fuel/Oil and 2 Air/Oil Heat Exchangers.

18
Q

How is the Oil Quantity checked?

A
  • Oil Quantity is displayed on the OIL REPLENISH Tab in the SERVICE Synoptic;
  • An Oil Level Sight Gauge on the side of the Reservoir.
19
Q

Where is the Replenishment Oil Tank located?

A

Aft Equipment Bay.

20
Q

What is the Capacity of the Oil Replenishment Reservoir?

A

6 US Quarts (5.7 Liters).

21
Q

When can the Engine Oil Levels be accurately checked?

A
  • Between 15 and 60 minutes after the Engine Shutdown.
  • REPLENISH Softkey is available ONLY within 15 to 60 minutes after shutdown.
22
Q

When and How is Engine Oil Replenishment allowed?

A
    1. On the Ground with Engines Off;
    1. Between 15 & 60 minutes after Engine Shutdown;
    1. Prohibited when OAT is -12°C or colder;
    1. Via the OIL REPLENISH Tab on the SERVICE Synoptic;
    1. ORS (Oil Replenish Synoptic) Reservoir “OIL QTY” should be Green before servicing.
23
Q

Which Fuel ShutOff Valve closes after selecting the ENGINE RUN Switch to OFF?

A
  • HPSOV within the Fuel Metering Unit.
  • Note: The FIRE PBA closes the Firewall Fuel SOV.
24
Q

When is the Approach Idle commanded by the FADEC?

A
    1. In Flight;
    1. Gear Down and Locked or
    1. Slat/Flap 2 (Flaps are above 5 degrees).
    1. No Steep Approach Mode is selected.
  • Note: Steep Approach 4.5 to 5.5 Degrees (Steeper Approach 3.5 to 4.5 Degrees).
25
Q

What are the 2 AutoStart Air Envelopes and associated Airspeeds?

A
  • ATS ENVELOPE (CAS message): < 250Kt.
  • WINDMILL ENVELOPE (CAS message): >250Kt, N2>7.5%. (255kt recommended)
26
Q

What is the Engine “Quick Relight” Function?

A
  • If the ENGINE RUN Switch is selected OFF then back ON, the FADEC will recover the existing pwr setting.
  • Fuel Schedules and ITT Limits are adapted for each Quick Relight scenario.
27
Q

When does the ENG FLAMEOUT message appear?

A

When the N2 reduces abnormally and an Automatic Relight has failed.

28
Q

What is the Maximum Altitude for an Airborne Engine Start?

A

30,000 ft.

29
Q

What is the Maximum Altitude in flight for an APU-Assisted Engine Start?

A

23,000 ft.

30
Q

What are the Limitations on the Thrust Reversers?

A
    1. Must Not be selected inflight;
    1. Must Not be used for backup the airplane;
    1. Not Permitted for Touch-&-Go.
31
Q

How are the Thrust Reversers controlled and actuated?

A
  • Controlled by the FADEC;
  • Actuated by the respective EDP (Engine Driven Hydraulic Pump)
  • Note: The Reverser only operates when the associated engine is operating and the EDP is producing
    pressure.
32
Q

What will occur if a Thrust Reverser becomes inadvertently Unlocked?

A
    1. Red Master Warning Lights flashing;
    1. Aural Warning “L (R) Reverser Unlocked”;
    1. Red L (R) REVERSER UNLOCKED CAS message;
    1. Red REV icon appears in N1 gauge;
    1. FADEC limits thrust to idle (regardless of thrust lever position).
