Engine FAULT detected by the DECU/ECU that does not impact the normal control of the engine is a _____ Fault.
Soft fault
An engine FAULT that could cause unacceptable engine or aircraft performance is a ______ Fault.
Hard fault
When the Ignition Lock Switch (key) is in and ON this supplies power to the circuit of what two components on the engine for the purpose of engine starting?
ignition Exciters and start fuel solenoids
Spark and fuel
Explain why you should delay turning second generator ON for 2 seconds when turning APU GEN Off and turning on Main GEN’s?
Will give the ECU time to sample power without causing a soft fault
