for the GE engines? For PW engines?
N1
EPR

•Over-speed protection
FCOM 2: 7.20.4/.5
What occurs with the auto-throttle system when any EEC
control is switched to alternate mode?
The auto-throttles disconnect, but can be reconnected when all EECs
have been switched to alternate mode.
FCOM 2: 7.20.5
What EEC normal mode protection feature is not available in
EEC Alternate mode?
Thrust limiting at maximum N1
(maximum thrust can be achieved prior to thrust lever
position at full forward)
FCOM 2: 7.20.4
When does the EEC select approach idle?

•During thrust reverser operation
FCOM 2: 7.20.5
What action should be taken prior to manual selection of EEC alternate mode?
•Decrease thrust lever position.
Note: Thrust does not change when the EEC auto transfers
control from normal mode to alternate mode.
VOL 2: 7:20.4/QRH 7.12
What happens when you turn the Continuous (CON) IGNITION Switch ON?
•Selected igniters operate continuously
•Commands approach idle minimum
VOL2: 7.13.4
What two engine indications are displayed full time on the
Primary EICAS on a GE?
•N1 & EGT
VOL 2: 7.10.1
What color does the EGT change to if the EGT
start or takeoff limit is reached?
RED
VOL 2: 7.10.8
If the airborne vibration monitoring system cannot determine the
source of the vibration (FAN,LPT,NT) it will display “BB”.
What does this mean?
•Broadband ➢Broadband vibration is the average vibration detected.
VOL 2: 7.11.6/21.14
What 3 items will the autostart system protect the engine from
during and engine start that also will result in an
ENG 1, 2, 3, 4 AUTOSTART EICAS message ?
•Hot start
•Hung start
•No EGT rise
VOL 2: 7.20.7/QRH 7.2
How is the engine thrust reverser actuated on the GE Engine?
Pneumatically actuated fan air.
VOL 2 7.20.15
How is the engine thrust reverser actuated on the PW engine?
Powered by hydraulic pressure from the related hydraulic system
to actuate the fan air thrust reversers
VOL 2 7.21.14
How is the engine thrust reverser actuated on the GEnx B747-8?
Hydraulically actuated fan air.
VOL 2(748) 7.20.15
With an engine shut down, what does “X‐BLD” indicate when displayed
next to the N2 indication?
Crossbleed air is recommended for in-flight start.
FCOM 2: 7.11.6
When is ignition selected for all engines?
1.Trailing edge flaps are out of the up position
2.Continuous ignition switch is ON
FCOM 2: 7.20.8
How many igniters are selected for ground start, and how many for in-flight start?
•One igniter for ground start
•Two for in-flight start
FCOM 2; 7.20.6
What are the PW engine warm up requirements for oil temperature before takeoff?
•above the lower amber band
FCOM 2; 7.20.8

as long as ICI conditions are detected or airplane descends below _____ feet?
•15 minutes
•28,000 feet
FCOM 2 747-8; 7.20.4
When does GENX2B67 engine selects minimum or approach idle?
•Engine Anti-Ice ON
•Landing Gear Down
•Flaps 20 selected
•Flap in landing position
•Thrust Reverser operation
FCOM 2 747-8; 7.20.5
Under what condition on the ground will the GEnx EEC shutdown an engine to provide protection against thrust asymmetry due to a control malfunction?
➢Thrust lever at/near idle and,
➢Engine above command N1 speed and not decelerating normally
FCOM 2 747-8; 7.20.6
During engine start when will the GEnx engine provide additional
40 seconds of motoring time at 20% N2?
•Engine shutdown between 30-360 minutes
•EGT is greater than 30◦c
FCOM 2 747-8; 7.20.7
During engine start the GEnx engine EEC will attempt corrective
action for the following conditions:
•hot start
•hung start
•no EGT rise
