Air Cooled Oil Cooler (ACOC)
Fuel Cooled Oil Cooler (FCOC)

25
Q

What area of the engine are lubricated with oil?

A

Aft sump
Center sump
Forward sump

Accessory Gear Box

26
Q

How is the engine oil pump protected from debris in the system?

A

Filter screens on all oil scavenge inlets

Magnetic chip detectors on all inlets except accessory gear box

27
Q

What does the PMA provide power for?

A

FADEC above 50% N2
Igniters above 10% N2

28
Q

What provides power for the FADECs?

A

Above 50% N2: PMA
Below 50% N2: 28V DC system

29
Q

What provides power for the igniters?

A

Above 10% N2: PMA
Below 10% N2: No power, the PMA is the only source of power for igniters

30
Q

What air sources can be used to start the engines?

A

APU
External pneumatic start
Opposite engine
Windmill start inflight

31
Q

What information does the engine FADEC share with the opposite engine’s FADEC?

A

ATTCS
Thrust reverser interlock

32
Q

What percent N2 determines whether the engine is running or not?

33
Q

What are the four thrust mode buttons?

A

T/O, CON, CLB, CRZ

34
Q

What happens when the ignition Selector is set to OFF?

A

Ignition and fuel are inhibited to allow for dry motoring

35
Q

With ignition set to AUTO, when will igniters activate?

A

Ground Start: One ignitor at 14% N2
Air start: Both igniters at 10% N2

36
Q

With ignition set to ON, when will igniters active?

A

Both igniters at 10% N2

37
Q

What needs to be set for TAKEOFF DATA prior to takeoff?

A

Takeoff thrust mode
Takeoff temperate
Anti-Ice on or off

38
Q

What position does the thrust lever need to be in to shut down the engine normally?

39
Q

Name and describe the three idle ratings?

A

Ground idle is a speed sufficient to provide bleed air, sustain engine operation and drive the AGB

Flight idle is a higher minimum thrust to allow engine to accelerate to maximum within eight seconds

Anti ice flight idle is higher than flight idle and provides required bleed air for anti ice

40
Q

When will the thrust mode automatically be set to the maximum takeoff thrust mode?

A

Below 15,000 feet with landing gear down and locked

41
Q

If ATTCS is armed, what happens when an engine fails?

A

The operating engine thrust mode automatically increases to the next higher level

42
Q

If the thrust Levers are forward of the detent, can CRZ, CLM, or CON modes be selected?

43
Q

What happens to engine thrust if the thrust levers are moved forward of the detent during takeoff?

A

ATTCS no longer armed, Engine thrust increases to maximum thrust

44
Q

On the EICAS, what color/symbol represents N1 target?

A

Blue T on N1 indicator, and blue digits to the left and right of the thrust mode indication

45
Q

On the EICAS, what color/symbol represents N1 request?

A

Green Bug on N1 indicator, and green digits in the box at the top of the display

46
Q

What engine oil level causes the indication to be displayed in amber?

A

less than 6 quarts

47
Q

What prevents the thrust reversers from being selected in flight?

A

Electrical and mechanical stops

48
Q

What locks prevent the thrust reversers from deploying in flight? How are the locks commanded and actuated?

A

Primary - Electrically commanded, hydraulically actuated

Secondary - Electrically commanded, hydraulic actuated

Tertiary - Electrically commanded, electrically actuated

49
Q

What will the engine response be if a thrust reversers deploys in flight?

A

FADEC commands idle thrust

50
Q

How does the FADEC prevent asymmetric thrust reverse thrust?

A

No reverse thrust unless both reversers on both engines are completely deployed. If single engine, the failed engine thrust lever must not be in reverse.

51
Q

What conditions allow maximum reverse thrust?

A

One of the following:
- Both main landing gear on the ground, and wheel speed greater than 25 kt
- All three landing gear on the ground

52
Q

What does REV displayed in amber on the EICAS indicated?

A

Reversers are in transit

53
Q

What does REV displayed in green on the EICAS indicated?

A

Reversers are fully deployed

54
Q

Below what speed should the thrust reversers be limited to idle thrust?

55
Q

Below what speed should the thrust reversers be stowed?
