- HMU/ EEC
REDUCTION GEAR BOX
These equipments are fitted on the RGB:
- the ACW generator
- the Propeller Valve Module (PVM) controlled by the PEC
- the propeller pump (HP) and overspeed
governor - the auxiliary feathering pump
- the propeller brake (on RH engine only)
- FCOC
ACCESSORY GEAR BOX (located at the top of the engine) driven by the HP spool, drives the:
- the DC starter/generator
- the HP fuel pump
- the engine oil pumps
The COMBUSTION CHAMBER is the … type

Power (PWR) =
Torque (TQ) x NP
Power setting is characterized by constant …
Power lever (PL) and condition lever (CL) positions.
The EEC (Engine Electronic Control) controls the …
Fuel flow to the engine, with input coming from the PWR MGT and the position of the PL.
PL’s to the WALL, TQ up to …
115%
PL’s to the RAMP, TQ up to …
100%
The PEC (Propeller Engine Control) controls the … using input from …
NP (propeller speed) by changing the blades angle / the PWR MGT and the position of the CL
CL on 100% OVRD the NP is at …
100%, regardless of the PWR MGT position
With the CL’s in the AUTO position …
- Blade angle governing mode. The NP is regulated by the PEC (Blade angle change).
- PWR MGT in:
TO → NP = 100%
MCT → NP = 100%
CLB → NP = 82%
CRZ → NP = 82%
On FTR (Feather position) the fuel governing mode is …
cancelled (No ACW generator)
TQ values:
- RTO
- TO
- MCT
- RTO = 100%
- TO = 90%
- MCT = 90.9%
TORQUE ind. (DC EMER)
2 probes located on the reduction gear box shafts
sends signal to the AFU (Auto Feathering Unit) and to
the EEC (Engine Electronic Control) which supply the
torque indicator.
The AFU controls the pointer and the EEC controls the
digital display.

STARTER - ON
Starter engaged. At 45% NH, light goes off and the starter is disconnected
STARTER - FAULT
Illuminates when: - remains ON with NH >45% or - GCU failure during start or - starter failure or - ENG 2 only: ENG START selector on start position \+ PROP BRK ON + GUST lock not engaged
