Q

If AUTORELIGHT is displayed above N2: [8.70.10]

A
  • Both igniters are running in the continuous condition.
  • The fuel control switch is in RUN and engine speed has decayed to below idle.
17
Q

The thrust ramping feature compensates for high stress loads due to crosswinds or low groundspeeds. What effect does this have on engine operation? [8.70.10]

True or False?

A

True.

20
Q

Regarding the Engine Oil System: [8.70.10]

A

A. There is no minimum oil quantity limit for operating the engine in flight.
B. Oil is pressurized by an engine-driven oil pump.
C. Minimum oil quantity prior to start is 18 quarts.
D. All the above.

21
Q

When the APU LIMIT EICAS message is displayed: [8.70.50]

A

An APU limit has been exceeded.

22
Q

With the EECs operating in the normal mode, what action will provide maximum available thrust? [8.70.10]

A

Manually positioning the thrust levers to the full forward position.

23
Q

Which statement is TRUE concerning the hard alternate EEC mode? [8.70.10]

A

In the hard alternate mode, the EEC uses N1 as the controlling parameter.

24
Q

Thrust control malfunction accommodation (TCMA) can automatically shut down an engine to protect against idle thrust asymmetry conditions while on the ground. [8.70.10]

True or False?

A

True.

A

Two electric. Only the Right S/G is available for a battery start.

27
Q

Adds or removes the Secondary Engine instruments on EICAS below the Primary instruments.

30
Q

In what Flight Control mode(s) is Thrust Asymmetry Protection (TAP) available? [8.70.10]

A

Normal.

31
Q

Simultaneous engine start requires: [8.70.10]

A

Using both APU generators as the power source.

True or False?

A

False.

33
Q

During single engine takeoff or go-around, the EEC may reduce thrust on the operating engine to maintain the required climb performance. This feature is called: [8.70.10]

A

Thrust Asymmetry Protection (TAP).

True or False?

A

False.
