fuel flow,

oil pressure,

oil temperature,

oil quantity

and engine vibration.

31
Q

The secondary engine indications will automatically display on the lower center MFD if

A

there is an exceedance of a secondary engine parameter.

The display cannot be removed until the exceedance is cleared.

32
Q

It is the only round dial on the secondary engine indications.

33
Q

he oil pressure display and pointer will be displayed in white when the oil pressure is within the normal operating range.

The oil pressure display will change to

A

70 PSI.

red when the operating limits are reached.

34
Q

The oil temperature display and pointer will be white when in normal operating range,

amber when

and red when

A

the caution range is reached (low or high values),

when the operating limit is reached.

35
Q

The OIL QTY shown as useable amount in quarts is displayed white to show normal quantity.

There is

A

no minimum oil quantity line but when a low quantity occurs, the display will reverse showing a black number on a white background.

LO is displayed white.

36
Q

When the source of the vibration is unknown,

A

BB or broad band vibration is displayed.

37
Q

The engine vibration high band displayed white shows the vibration level at which

A

automatic display of the secondary indications will occur.

Note: There is no certified vibration limit. When the engine vibration pointer reaches this line, the secondary engine indication will automatically display.

38
Q

When a high vibration occurs, the display will

A

reverse showing black numbers on a white background.

39
Q

f the MFD lower display should fail while displaying the secondary engine indications, the display will automatically

A

transfer to the upper MFD.

40
Q

During normal operations, if a system page is shown on the lower center MFD and an exceedance occurs, then

A

the compact display will automatically be placed on the upper center MFD.

41
Q

The Captain will call START BOTH ENGINES.

The first Officer will

A

display the Secondary Engine indications from the Display Select Panel.

The First Officer will select both START/IGNITION selectors to START.

The First Officer will then select the Fuel Control Switches to RUN and then will monitor the engine indications.

NOTE: If there is no oil pressure increase or high oil temperature is observed after initial EGT rise, complete the Aborted Engine Start non-normal checklist.

Both the Captain and First Officer will monitor the engine start.

42
Q

For the engine crossbleed start

A

the APU must be shutdown or the APU bleed switch must be turned OFF.

Also verify the area behind the airplane is clear of equipment and personnel prior to advancing the thrust lever on the operating engine.

Increase the thrust on the operating engine to approximately 60% N2

and verify a minimum of 25 PSI duct pressure.

Then accomplish a normal engine start.

43
Q

For the Engine Start With External Air, verify that duct pressure is a minimum

A

of 25 PSI, less 1 PSI per 1,000 ft of pressure altitude.

Accomplish a normal engine start. After pushback, initiate a Crossbleed start.

44
Q

A manual engine start is completed when the autostart system is inoperative prior to engine start on the ground.

It is important to preview this procedure in its entirety prior to accomplishing the first step.

A

Start one engine at a time.

To manually control the start, turn OFF the AUTOSTART system.

For a manual start the crew must monitor engine indications and take any corrective action if required.

Once N2 reaches max motoring speed (15 % minimum), move the FUEL CONTROL switch to RUN.

Continue to monitor engine parameters.

After selecting RUN, check that EGT rise occurs within 20 sec,

N1 rotation occurs by 40 % N2, EGT stays within limits and N2 reaches idle within 2 min.

45
Q

To carry out a Start Valve Manual Operation, ground crew will

A

manually open the start valve after positioning the START selector to START, and manually close the start valve at 42 % N2.

46
Q

The amber caution “ENG AUTOSTART L or R” will be displayed if

A

The autostart did not start the engine or,

If during a manual start,

the FUEL CONTROL switch is set to RUN at a low engine RPM

with the AUTOSTART switch OFF.

47
Q

If during an engine start, the start valve does not remain in the commanded position, the amber advisory

A

“ENG START VALVE L or R” will be displayed.

48
Q

If during an engine start, the START/IGNITION switch remains in START or if the start valve fails to close, the amber caution

A

“ENG STARTER CUTOUT L or R” will be displayed.

49
Q

In-flight start information is displayed on the upper EICAS display.

This will occur when

A

an engine is not running in flight or

when an engine is shutdown in flight

and the engine fire switch is in the normal position.

50
Q

“ENG EEC MODE L or R” is displayed when control for the affected engine is operating in ALTN mode.

A

This is shown whether it was a soft or hard reversion.

51
Q

“ENG FAIL L or R” is displayed if

A

the engine speed is below idle. This can occur during an engine failure.

52
Q

“ENG IDLE DISAGREE” is displayed if

A

one engine is at approach idle and the other engine is at minimum idle.

53
Q

“ENG LIMIT PROT L” and / or “ENG LIMIT PROT R” is displayed if the commanded N1

A

exceeds the maximum N1.

This can occur when operating in the hard alternate mode and the thrust levers are manually moved to full power.

54
Q

“ENG REV LIMITED L or R” is displayed on the ground or in the air.

It shows

A

hat an engine thrust reverser will not deploy or thrust reverse will be limited to idle.

55
Q

“ENG REVERSER L or R” is displayed if

A

a fault is detected in the affected engine reverser system.

56
Q

“ENG RPM LIMITED L or R” is displayed when engine control is limiting the affected engine thrust to prevent

A

N1 or N2 from exceeding the RPM operating limit.

This can occur if manually advancing the thrust levers and a possible excessive RPM is detected.

57
Q

“ENG SHUTDOWN” is displayed when both engines have been shutdown on the ground by

A

the fuel control switches or the fire switches.

58
Q

“ENG SHUTDOWN L or R” is displayed when one engine has been shutdown in flight by

A

a fuel control switch or a fire switch.

59
Q

“ENG THRUST L or R” is displayed if

A

an engine is not producing the commanded thrust.
