25
Q

How many igniters does each engine have, and where are they located?

A

2: at 12 and 6 o’clock positions

26
Q

How many fuel nozzles are there on each engine?

A

16

27
Q

How is the FADEC in command alternated

A

Automatically upon each engine start, and manually through use of the FADEC Control knob on the overhead panel

This knob becomes inoperative if held in any position for more than three seconds

28
Q

While one FADEC controls the power plant, the other remains in standby mode, what does the standby FADEC do

A

It monitors all inputs, performs, all computations, and performs built-in test and fault detection. Output drivers for fuel flow and CVG Control powered off.

29
Q

Why is each FADEC connected to one of the FADEC’s on the opposite engine

A

For thrust reverser interlock and automatic takeoff thrust control system

30
Q

What are the thrust rating modes that can be selected for the A1 engines?

A

CLZ, CLB, CON, ALT/TO-1, TO-1

31
Q

When will the FADECs command N1 Target?

A

When the thrust levers are positions in the detent

32
Q

If a thrust reverser inadvertently deploys in flight, how will the FADECs react?

A

They will automatically select idle thrust

33
Q

Where must the thrust levers be positioned to enable the engine to be shut down?

A

At idle

34
Q

How are Target N1 and Requested N1 shown on the EICAS?

A

Target N1 is a blue T and the Requested N1 bug is a solid green triangle

35
Q

Which thrust mode should be selected in flight with one engine inoperative?

A

CON

36
Q

Which conditions must be met to select CON mode?

A

Pressure altitude must be greater than 300 ft above takeoff altitude with no gear down and locked, or pressure altitude greater than 1,700 ft above takeoff altitude

37
Q

What conditions must be met to select CLB mode?

A

Pressure altitude must be greater than 500 ft above takeoff altitude with no gear down and locked and no one engine inoperative signal, or pressure altitude greater than 1,700 ft above takeoff altitude and no OEI signal

38
Q

Under what conditions will the FADEC select T/O 1 mode?

A

-FADEC power up
-TO thrust rating button pressed with aircraft on the ground and TLA less than or equal to 50 degrees
-Gear down and locked below 15,000 ft
-When ATTCS is triggered during operation in ALT T/O-1 mode
-When thrust levers are advanced past the THRUST SET position

39
Q

Where are the takeoff data setting controls located?

A

On the overhead panel and consist of a store button and a control knob

40
Q

What information must be entered by the pilot for takeoff data?

A
  • Takeoff mode
  • Reference takeoff temperature
  • Reference anti ice condition
41
Q

Where is the takeoff data shown?

A

On the takeoff page on the MFD

42
Q

What causes the MFD to show amber dashes where the takeoff data should be, and what should be done?

A

The takeoff data has not been accepted because Ref TO temp is outside acceptable limits

43
Q

What does the caution message ENG REF A/I DISAG mean?

A

The anti-ice system condition does not agree with the ref anti-ice condition selected on the takeoff data

44
Q

What is the purpose of the automatic takeoff thrust control system (ATTCS)?

A

To reschedule takeoff thrust to maximum takeoff thrust in an event an engine failure is detected during takeoff

45
Q

What is the indication to the pilots that ATTCS is armed on takeoff?

A

A green ATTCS inscription shows below the thrust rating mode

46
Q

Which aircraft system is used to activate the thrust reversers?

A

Hydraulic

47
Q

How many locking systems does the thrust reverser system use to avoid inadvertent in flight deployment?

A

Three

48
Q

How are the thrust reverser locking systems actuated?

A

The primary and secondary locks electronically commanded/controlled and hydraulically powered to unlock, the tertiary lock is electrically commanded/controlled and electrically powered to unlock

49
Q

What are the main components of the lubrication system?

A

-Oil Tank
-Lube and scavenge pump
-Oil filter unit
-Air cooled oil cooler
-Fuel cooled oil cooler

50
Q

What regulates the pressure supplied to the ATS and provides isolation pneumatic system following start completion?

A

Start control valve

51
Q

What is the function of the FADEC engine control logic?

A

It controls engine fuel flow and the position of the CVGs. It also incorporates engine protection logic, prohibiting fuel flow commands that would result in exceeding rotor or temperature operating limits

52
Q

During takeoff, the EICAS warning shows: ATTCS FAIL. What is the recall item?

A

Thrust lever…….. MAX

53
Q

During takeoff and below V1, the EICAS message shows: E1(2) LOW N1

A

Rejected Takeoff Procedure…..ACCOMPLISH

54
Q

What is the correct drill for a hot start?

A

START/STOP selector …… STOP
