Hung start

23
Q

How many ignitors are installed in each engine

A

2

24
Q

What supplies power to the ignitors

A

IGN-A: AC ESS BUS

IGN-B: Static invertor on the battery bus

25
Q

When must continuous ignition be used

A

Takeoffs and landings on contaminated runways

Flight through moderate or heavy rain

Flight through moderate or heavy turbulence

Flight in the vicinity of thunderstorms

26
Q

When is continuous ignition automatically activated

A

When approaching a high angle of attack

27
Q

What conditions are required before advancing thrust levers to IDLE during an engine start

A

N2 greater than 20%

ITT below 120 degrees C

28
Q

What conditions would cause a takeoff configuration warning

A

Parking break set

Autopilot ON

Spoilers extended

Flaps not 8 or 20 degrees

Aileron trim out of green range

Rudder trim out of green range

29
Q

What is APR

A

Automatic Performance Reserve

30
Q

When is APR armed for takeoff

A

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

31
Q

When is APR armed for landing

A

Flaps 20 degrees or greater

Landing gear is down

32
Q

When will the APR system be activated

A

Thrust levers in TOGA

N1 differs by 15% or greater on one engine after APR is armed

Thrust levers set to MAX POWER

HIGH PWR SCHEDULE switchlight is selected ON

33
Q

What occurs when APR system activates

A

FADEC commands a thrust increase dependant on the thrust lever position

34
Q

What indication is displayed when APR is activated

A

Green APR icon on N1 gauge

35
Q

If an engine fails during a go-around, will the APR system activate

A

Yes

36
Q

What is used to deploy the thrust reversers

A

L reverser uses hydraulic system 1

R reverser uses hydraulic system 2

37
Q

What indications will be displayed during thrust reverser deployment

A

Amber REV icon on the N1 gauges during cowl transition

Green REV icon on the N1 gauges when they are fully deployed

38
Q

What is occuring during thrust reverser deployment

A

The translating cowls move aft, blocking the rearward flow of bypass air

The fan discharge airflow is redirected forward through the cascade vanes

39
Q

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

A

60 knots

40
Q

What are indications of an inadvertent thrust reverser deployment

A

Amber REV icon on the N1 gauge

REV UNLOCKED caution message

FADEC commands idle thrust of affected engine

Note: Thrust levers will not move when when FADEC commands idle thrust
