Engines / APU

Question 1

What is required for selection of Reverse thrust?

Answer 1

The related forward thrust lever must be at IDLE.

Question 2

What fuel valve(s) close when an engine Start Lever is moved to CUTOFF?

Answer 2

Spar Fuel Shutoff Valve and Engine Fuel Shutoff Valve close.

Question 3

What component controls and monitors engine parameters?

Answer 3

EEC

Question 4

The Electronic Engine Control (EEC) provides exceedance protection for which parameter(s) in normal mode?

Answer 4

N1 and N2 redline overspeed protection.

Question 5

In Normal Mode, what does the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) use to calculate N1 thrust ratings?

Answer 5

Sensed flight conditions and bleed air demand.

Question 6

What are the possible EEC modes with the Engine EEC switch showing both the ON (white) and ALTN (amber) displays illuminated?

Answer 6

Soft or Hard Alternate Control Mode.

Question 7

Compare thrust in EEC HARD ALTERNATE Mode to normal mode for a given thrust lever position.

Answer 7

Thrust is the same or greater.

Question 8

What does an ENGINE CONTROL (amber) light mean?

Answer 8

EEC detects faults in the Engine Control System that are not dispatchable.

Question 9

What mode is active with the Thrust Mode Display indicating R-TO (green)?

Answer 9

Reduced Takeoff.

Question 10

What causes the ENG FAIL Alert (amber) on the EGT indicator?

Answer 10

Respective engine is operating at a condition below sustainable idle (50% N2) and the Engine Start Lever is in the IDLE position.

Question 11

What removes an ENG FAIL Alert (amber)?

Answer 11

Engine recovers, start lever is moved to cutoff, or the fire switch is pulled.

Question 12

On the ground, after engine shutdown, what does a red box on the EGT Readout indicate?

Answer 12

In flight engine exceedance occurred.

Question 13

What does “reverse video” displayed on the Engine Vibration readout indicate?

Answer 13

When vibrational scalar units exceed 4.0.

Question 14

What should the ENG VALVE CLOSED lights (blue) and SPAR VALVE CLOSED lights (blue) indicate during a normal preflight, power ON, Engines not running?

Answer 14

Dim Blue.

Question 15

What does an illuminated FILTER BYPASS light (amber) indicate?

Answer 15

Indicates an impending fuel filter bypass due to a contaminated filter.

Question 16

What is the indication if the engine oil pressure drops below redline during takeoff roll (>80 kts)?

Answer 16

Low Oil Pressure steady amber annunciation.

Question 17

What does the Ignition Select Switch in the IGN R position select?

Answer 17

Selects the right igniter on both engines.

Question 18

In flight, what does the Engine Start Switch in CONT provide with the Engine Start Lever in IDLE?

Answer 18

Operation of the selected igniter continuously.

Question 19

In flight, what does the Engine Start Switch in FLT provide with the Engine Start Lever in IDLE?

Answer 19

Operation of both igniters continuously.

Question 20

What does a steady START VALVE OPEN (amber) light indicate?

Answer 20

Start valve is open so bleed air can be supplied to the starter.

Question 21

What does an amber REV indicate?

Answer 21

Reverser sleeve in transit.

Question 22

What does a green REV indicate?

Answer 22

Thrust sleeve in deployed position.

Question 23

What does a REVERSER (amber) light on the Aft Overhead Panel indicate?

Answer 23

Illuminates when the reverser is being stowed or a malfunction occurred after 12 seconds.

Question 24

Which APU lights will accompany an automatic APU shutdown.

Answer 24

LOW OIL PRESSURE, OVER SPEED, or FAULT light.
