NO, Refer to the DDG
What do the PMCs do?
7.20.2
The PMC uses MEC power level angle, N1 speed, and inlet temperature and pressure to adjust, or trim, the MEC to obtain the desired N1 speed. The PMC adjust fuel flow as a function of thrust level angle.
Provides a constant thrust climb feature. Once climb thrust is set, the PMC maintains the desired thrust throughout the climb profile without the need for further thrust lever movement.
If the PMC fails or is selected off, how is engine speed controlled? 7.20.2
By the hydro-mechanical MEC only.
Will the PMC INOP light be illuminated prior to engine start? 7.20.2
