Engine Indication Flashcards
What are performance indicators
Monitor performance limits on engines and set thrust flight phases
What are system indicators
Monitor operation of engine systems such as oil or fuel
Detect malfunctions
What is engine trend monitoring
Done on ground to detect engine problems at every stage
What does an engine trend monitoring system use
Parameter’s automatically recorded by Acms
Is it possible to measure thrust directly
No
2 ways we find the value of thrust
Rotational speed of fan (N1)
Engine pressure ratio
What do engine system indicators do
Monitor correct operation of engine systems
What do the indications for oil system monitor
Oil quantity , oil pressure and oil temperature
Where are warnings and cautions showed
Displayed on ECAM/EICAS
How is engine trend monitoring showed
ACMS provides print-out for cockpit printer
Transmit the data via ACARS
What does thermodynamic analysis check
Pressured and temps along gas flow path
What failures does mechanic dynamic check
Failures in rotor system , does this by checking vibration and rotor speed signals
What does the oil consumption analysis do
Generates signal when oil consumption reaches a certain level
What’s the N1 indication
Low pressure rotor
N2 indication
High pressure rotor
N3 indication
Engine has 3 rotors
How are engine rotor speed indications expressed
Percentage of 100% design speed
Speed indication parts
Sensor
Data transmission
Indication
3 parts of epr indication
Indicator in cockpit
Computer
Two pressure pickups connected by tubes with computer
Max EGT indications
600-900 degrees C
Where is highest EGT temp
Directly behind combustion chamber
Turbine inlet temperature
Higher then 1400 degrees C
Why is EGT measured from colder location
turbine inlet temperature can be too hot
