Q

How are the thrust reversers deployed

A

Thrust levers must be at idle. The reverse thrust levers are raised by engaging the thrust reverse release triggers. A solenoid lock stops reverse thrust lever movement while the reversers deploy. Once deployed, the lock releases and N1 may be increased by raising the reverse thrust levers.

Q

What is occurring during thrust reverser deployment

A

The translating cowls move aft, blocking the rearward flow of bypass air.
The fan discharge airflow is redirected forward though the cascase vanes.

23
Q

When do the thrust reversers need to be either stowed or at idle

A

60 kts

24
Q

What happens when a thrust reverser inadvertently deploys

A

FADEC commands thrust to be set to idle on affected engine

25
Q

What are the indications of an inadvertent thrust reverser deployment?

A

Amber REV icon on N1 gauge,
REV UNLOCKED caution message
FADEC commands idle thrust on affected engine.
NOTE: Thrust levers will NOT move when FADEC command idle thust

26
Q

What is the normal air source for engine starts

A

APU or cross-bleed if doing a single engine taxi

27
Q

What source is used if the APU is INOP

A

Ground air cart or bottle attached to the high pressure air ground connection to start one engine.
A cross bleed start is then used to start the other engine after clearing it with ground control.

28
Q

When will the starter cut-out during an engine start

A

50% N2 RPM

29
Q

Max continuous thrust (MCT) for the CF34-8C5

A

13,680

30
Q

What is the engine bleed air used for?

A

Engine start
Air conditioning / pressurization
Wing and cowl anti-ice

31
Q

What is the normal source used for engine starting?

A

APU bleed air

32
Q

What is the minimum bleed air pressure required for a cross bleed start?

A

42 PSI at a mixmum of 80% N2 for the operating engine

33
Q

Where is the high pressure, ground air supply connection located?

A

On the fuselage, aft of the cargo bay door.

34
Q

What are the engine starter cranking limits?

A

Attempt 1,2 90 seconds ON / 10 seconds OFF

Attempt 3-5 90 seconds ON / 5 minutes OFF

35
Q

What are the dry motoring limits?

A

Attempt 1 90 seconds ON / 5 minutes OFF

36
Q

What would cause the FADEC to automatically abort the start?

A

Hot start or Hung start

37
Q

What supplies power to the ignitors

A

IGN-A AC ESS Bus

IGN-B Static inverter on the battery bus

38
Q

When must continuous ignition be used?

A

Takeoffs and landings on contaminated runways.
Flight though moderate or heavier intensity rain.
Flight though moderate or heavier intensity turbulence.
Flight in the vicinity of thunderstorms.

39
Q

When is continuous ignition automatically activated?

A

When approaching a high angle of attack

40
Q

What conditions would cause takeoff configuration warning?

A
Parking brake SET

What is APR?

A

Automatic Performance Reserve thrust

42
Q

When is APR armed for takeoff?

A

When N1 RPM of both engines is within 8% of scheduled takeoff power.

43
Q

When is APR armed for landing?

A

When flaps are greater than 20°, and the landing gear is down.
