Engines Flashcards
What are the engines?
GE CF6-80C2
In AUTO when does the standby engine indicator automatically display?
AC power is lostEICAS failed
EEC minimum IDLE mode
Lower thrustMost phases of flightGround Operations
Approach Idle
Higher ThrustAutomatically selectsAnti-ice onFlaps at LDG Flap until 5 sec after touchdown
EEC NORMAL MODE
Compares commanded N1 to actual N1 and adjusts fuel flow to change engine speed until actual N1 is the same as commanded N1.Over speed, Over temp, Over boost protection when thrust levers fully forward
EEC ALTERNATE MODE
SOFT- auto changes if normal inputs not available remains at last setting.
What happens when the engine cont switch is moved to cutoff
Spar & Eng valves close
What does the N2 magenta bug indicate-
Min N2 to put fuel in (Fuel on bug)
When can an inflight windmill start be used?
When there is no x-bleed display above the N2 indicator
What will display if a X BLD start should be initiated in flight?
X BLD ABV N2 and a fuel on bugDisplayed when airspeed is lower than that required for a windmill start.
What does the Thrust mode selector use?
ConfigurationEngine OperationConditions
What rotor drives the engine accessory gear box?
N2 rotor
When are the secondary Engine indications automatically display?
Initially receiving electrical powerA secondary engine parameter is exceeded
What gauges have a caution range and what happens?
Oil temp & Oil pressHave caution ranges displayed by Amber bands, If reach the range the digital readout, readout boxes and pointer all change colour to Amber.
What gauges have operating Limits?
N1, EGT, N2, Oil press & Oil temp have operating limits indicated by red lines, If one of these indications reaches the red line the digital readout, box and pointer all change colour to RED.
What does EGT have?
Maximum continuous, indicated by an Amber line if reaches this the box, dial & pointer all turn AMBER.Inhibited during takeoff and go around for 5 minutes.Also has Max takeoff limit indicated by a red line. All turns red if reached
