Q

What does a magenta oil quantity mean?

A

Low oil

22
Q

What is the certified vibration limit?

If the vibration monitoring system cannot detect if N1 or N2 are the culprits what does the indicating system show?

A

There is none, however a magenta vibration notes the high vib

BB- broadband (vibration over whole engine)

23
Q

ENG 1,2,3,4 OIL PRESS

A

Low oil press

Engine damage or failure possible

24
Q

ENG 1,2,3,4 OIL TEMP

A

High oil temp

Possible engine damage may occur

25
Q

ENG 1,2,3,4 FUEL VLV

A

One or more of these:

Engine fuel valve NIPS

Spar valve NIPS

If during start, engine won’t start.

In shutdown, engine continues to run until remaining fuel is burned.

26
Q

What does the light mean in the start switch?

A

Start valve open

27
Q

When does the start valve open on start?

A

When fuel control switch is in run.

28
Q

What does the red limit line on EGT signify during start?

A

Max start temp

29
Q

What 3 things does Autostart not monitor?

A

N1
Oil temp
Oil press

Abort or shutdown if no N1 or oil press by Idle N2

30
Q

What does Autostart do if it does not detect EGT rise?

A

Cuts fuel and ignition, motors for 30 secs.

Then applied ignition to both igniters and fuel .

Three attempts before aborting Autostart

Motors for 30 secs before start and bleed air valves close.

31
Q

If the Autostart detects an EGT rise but detects a hot or hung start what does it do?

A

it cuts fuel, adjust fuel schedule and reapplies for another attempt.

32
Q

In a manual start when to add fuel?

A

When it reaches the fuel on indicator on n2

33
Q

When will autostart terminaré start attempts for an inflight start?

A

When the engine starts or the pilots selects fuel cutoff

34
Q

If the auto igniter is in single what does it do each flight?

A

Alternates between 1&2 every other flight

35
Q

When does auto ignition activate?

A

Start with less than 50% N2
Flaps out of up
NAC ON
FLAMEOUT (both)

36
Q

What does selecting stby ignition to 1 or 2 do?

A

Applies stby power as the power to that igniter continuously

In norm, it is powered by AC pwr. However if the AC power is not powered igniter 1 is powered by stby power continuously.

37
Q

STARTER CUTOUT 1,2,3,4

A

Start valve does not close (at 50% N2 after start finished)

Light in start switch doesn’t go out

38
Q

ENG 1,2,3,4 AUTOSTART

A

Autostart ON, engine failed to start.

Fault detected in Autostart system

Start parameters exceeded

Manual start EGT parameters rapidly reaching limit

Manual start RUN selected too early.

39
Q

What does raising the reverse thrust levers to idle do?

A

Disc auto throttle
Raises auto speed brakes if not armed before landing

(Does the same on a rejected takeoff)

40
Q

> ENG 1, 2,3,4 REVERSER

A

Fault detected in the reverser system

41
Q

ENG 1,2,3,4 FUEL FILT

A

Fuel contamination can cause fuel to bypass the engine fuel filter

42
Q

ENG 1,2,3,4 LOW IDLE

A

ENGINE IDLE not in approach setting when commanded

Advance thrust til extinguished

43
Q

ENG 1,2,3,4 OIL FILT

A

Oil Filter contamination can cause oil to bypass the oil filter

44
Q

> ENG 1,2,3,4 SHUTDOWN

A

Engine was shutdown by the fuel control switch or the engine fire switch.

45
Q

What protections do you have with the EEC in Norm?

In ALTN?

Do you have autothrottles in ALTN?

A

Overboost and Overspeed

Only overspeed

No

46
Q

A

Pratt’s 5 min

GE 3 min

48
Q

What’s the difference in warm up between the GE’s and Pratt’s before takeoff?

A

GE’s must be above bottom of oil temp scale and 3 min run

Pratt’s oil temp above amber band and if engines shutdown more than 2 hours run for 5 min

49
Q

What’s the difference in cool down for the GE’s vs the Pratt’s after landing?

A

GE -3 min
Pratt - 5 min

50
