Q
  1. When does the EICAS automatically show compacted engine display?
A
  1. EICAS displays engine indications in compact format whenever:
    Secondary engine display is automatically selected, and the lower multifunction display is failed, unpowered, or is occupied, or
    Secondary engine display is manually selected to the lower center MFD and the lower MFD is failed, unpowered, or occupied with EICAS

Q
  1. Each engine has two ignitors. How are ignitors operated during a ground start and during an inflight start?
A

8.
The EEC automatically selects the appropriate ignitor(s) and alternates ignitors for successive ground starts
Both ignitors are utilized for all inflight start attempts.

Q
  1. Oil quantity is displayed to the nearest quart. What is the minimum oil quantity limit?
A
  1. There is no minimum oil quantity limit (no amber or red line limit): however, a low oil quantity causes automatic display of the secondary engine display and reverses the display indication to show black numbers on a white background.

Q
  1. Rotating the APU selector to START begins the automatic start sequence. When the APU air inlet door reaches the full open position, which starter engages?
A
  1. The air turbine starter is selected automatically when there is sufficient bleed air duct pressure. If insufficient bleed air pressure, the electric starter using the APU battery engages.
17
Q
  1. In flight, when does the automatic start of the APU occur?
A
  1. When power is lost to both AC transfer busses.
18
Q
  1. What source automatically supplies fuel for APU operation?
A

18.
Left forward fuel pump when AC power is available and cannot be turned off on the ground.
DC fuel pump in the left main tank when AC power is not available.

19
Q
  1. When an engine is running or starting (attended mode), or when the airplane is in flight, what does an APU SHUTDOWN EICAS message indicate?
A

19.
Fire/inlet over temperature
Overspeed/loss of overspeed protection
