ENGINES Flashcards
In the normal mode, what does the EEC use as the controlling parameter
for the GE engines? For PW engines?
N1
EPR
FCOM 2: 7.20.4/7.21.4
What protection features are provided in the EEC Normal mode?
•Thrust limiting
•Maintains constant thrust
•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?
•Nacelle anti-ice is ON
•Flaps in a landing position
•Continuous ignition switch is ON
•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
