Q

The JPTLA senses temperatures thanks to

A

Through the 4 thermocouples by EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) changing according to the temperature

36
Q

What does JPTLA do?

It compares EMG measurements (coming from thermocouples) to EMG preset values.
According to this it communicates with EPC for reducing fuel pressure in the BFCU

37
Q

How does the EPC operate?

A

It is composed of a small pipe inside another pipe. When EPC receives signal from the JPTLA, it closes the small pipe, reducing the fuel qty and pressure going through the BFCU

790ºC
10sec

40
Q

Q

Why is it so important to heat the nose fairing (pin) with engine anti-ice system?

A

Because preventing ice formation on the pin, the airflow will be smooth and not turbulent, thus preventing compressor stall

45
Q

What should you check during ANTI-ICE/ENGINE test?

A

RMP decreasing
TEMP increasing
LOADMETER increasing

46
Q

The igniters power comes from

A

Essential bus

47

48
Q

The engine should light up within _____ from starter engagement or _____ from moving the throttle to idle. The system will automatically abort the start if the engine is not at self sustaining speed after ____

Q

What is the action to take if the engine doesn’t light up within 20sec from starter?

A

Engine throttle STOP

50
Q

The engine start sequence can be interrupted any time by

A

Moving the ENG/MSTR switch to OFF

51
Q

ENG/MSTR switch controls

A

The starting system
The booster pump

That is why when you move the switch to ON prior to engine start, you check for BAT 1/2 and F. PRSS OFF

A

In the first range of travel (up to IDLE)

53
Q

The High Pressure Cock moved by the engine throttle is incorporated in what unit?

A

BFCU

54
Q

During engine start sequence, fuel coming through the AFRC and Fuel Flow Transmitter than goes into the

A

Starting Valve

55
Q

How can the starting system automatically abort start sequence if self sustaining speed is not reached within 25sec?

A

By closing the Starting Valve, and de-energizing igniters and starter

56
Q

Minimum windmilling is ____, but normally its value is ____

A

8-10%RPM
13%RPM

57
Q

When is the starting valve open?

A

During engine start
During relight ops

58
Q

The fire and overheat detection system is composed of

A

Fire detection system (front)
Fire and overheat detection system (rear)

59
Q

Where do Zone1 and Zone2 in fire and overheat detection system start from?

A

From the stainless steel firewall installed just after the engine compressor

60
Q

Higher temperature in Zone1 triggers _____ while in Zone2 triggers _____

A

FIRE
OHEAT

61
Q

A

Explosion hazards
Damage to structure and flight controls
(Fuel, Oil, Hydraulic etc are all in the front)

62
Q

OHEAT light can also be triggered by

A

Hot gases escaping from the jet pipe

63
Q

Minimum engine inflight temperature is

A

200ºC

64
Q

Normal engine continuous inflight temperature is

A

300ºC - 670ºC

65
Q

Igniters are located

A

In the combustion chamber at 4 and 8 o’clock position, in proximity of the atomizers to guarantee ignition

66
Q

The fire and fire and overheat systems are capable of detecting both

A

Average temperature
Hot spot temperature

67
Q

The HP Fuel Pump sends fuel at a pressure of

A

600-700psi

68
Q

What does AFRC unit do?

A

According to the altitude and phase of fight, it manages the quantity of fuel to let in the combustion chamber according to the air quantity

69
Q

When at low altitudes, BOV is open every time RPM are below_____.
It closes with increasing power at _____.
It opens again with decreasing power at _____.

A

78-80% RPM
80%RPM
78%RPM

Values referred to ISA

70
Q

The exhaust cone has an inner case secured by

A

9 radial stay pins

71
Q

What is the function of the Jet Pipe?

A

To direct gases in order to produce thrust

72
Q

How many Nozzles, Burners and Atomizers in the combustion chamber?

A

12 burners (24 nozzles)
6 atomizers

73
Q

Why the engine throttle is moved to idle only at 10%RPM?

A

Because at that rotation speed the HP fuel pump is providing enough pressure to the fuel going through the starting valve to be vaporized from atomizers during engine start.
If the system lets in fuel prior than 10%RPM the combustion chamber could be flooded, and therefore there’d be no ignition, or worse an explosion.
