Q

EECs

A

-EEC has two modes; normal and alternate, in Both modes, N1 is controlling.
-Powered by an alternator attached to the accessory gearbox
-Uses fuel metering unit to adjust fuel flow

EEC in normal mode:
-Thrust is limited to MAX N1
-Thrust limiting (Overboost and Overspeed protection
-keeps thrust constant regardless of changes in OAT, pressure, and bleed air demands without thrust lever movement

EEC alternate mode:
-Thrust is limited to N1 RPM limit (Overspeed protection)
- If an EEC detects a fault and automatically changes to alternate, thrust does not change
-If manual selection of alternate, thrust will increase so retarding the thrust levers before switching is required
-Manual thrust lever adjustment is required for changes in environmental conditions and bleed air demands

-All EEC’s have to be in the same mode for autothrottles to operate

Q

IRS

A

Inertial Reference System
-Calculates airplane position, acceleration, track, VS, GS, True and mag heading, Wind speed/direction, Attitude

-Relays this information to all displays, FMS and other systems

-consists on three IRUs (inertial reference units)

-normally powered by AC (L C R, AC bus 3 1 2) -secondary power is from the APU HOT Battery bus (Right next door on the overhead panel)

-Full alinement (10min) (OFF then to NAV) must be completed every 18 hrs
- Fast alinement (30 secs) (align then to nav)
