Powerplant Flashcards
Battery start Consideration on the ground?
If ignition A is picked by the FADEC, it will not be powered( AC ess bus)….
After 15 seconds FADEC SWITCHES TO ignition B
Ign A
ign B. what buses….
Ign A…. AC essential bus
Ign B …. Bat bus
FADEC means?
Full authority digital engine control
Engine failure detected?
N1 speed less than 15% of the set pwr
Recovers when w/i 13 %
Armed for TO?
N1 on BOTH engines within 8% of take off N1 reference
N1 less than 15 % of set pwr on an engine?
Engine failure detected
Apr armed for g/a?
Appch bit met
Gear down
Or
Flaps greater than 20
N1 both engines w/i 8% of takeoff N1 ref?
APR armed for T/O
Operability valve?
Releases excess air pressure
What provides hydraulics for. Operability Valve and Statir vanes?
Pressurized fuel … Provides hydraulics for operability valve and stator vanes
Test

-IDGs
1 AIR..- ATS
How is the operability valve controlled
By the FADEC
Hydraulically actuated by HP fuel
IGN B … Bus?
DC Battery bus
Compressor stall prevented in 2 ways?
Operability valve
VG ( fuel adjusts the stator vanes)
Apr activates when?
Mismatch of 15%
APR PWR INCREASES?
Toga …. APR
CLIMB … MCT
CRUISE .. Proportional increase
Apr armed?
Takeoff?
Landing?
Takeoff.. N1 both engines within 8% of reference value
Landing… Appch bit met
Ldg gear down or
Flaps greater 20
( either eng avail)
Normal takeoff thrust setting
13600
14500 w/apr
What enables N1 sync
Rt eng. N1 must be within 1.5% of the left engine N1
N2 synch is enabled when?
Rt engine N2 is within 2.5% of the left engine N2
FADEC overspeed protection?
N2 greater than 107%
Starter cut out
50%
Ignition a powered by
Ignition b powered by
Ignition A … AC ESS BUS
Ignition B … Batt bus
If ignitor fails
After 15 seconds it switches
Cruise power?
Proportional increase
Max power detent??
APR on both engines
ALSO GREEN SWITCHLIGHT
APR .. TL’s in detent
CLB …… MCT
TOGA… APR
Fuel pressure is used to manipulate what valve to dump excessive air to avoid a compressor stall
Operability valve
Approach bit met for Landing?
Flaps greater than 20
Or
Gear down
How many channels does eachFADEC have?
Two channels.. One active and one monitoring
15% split N1 between engines?
Engine failure detected therefore APR
Continuous ignition?
Both igniters on both engines
VG Compressor linkage?
Only the first four stages
Idle?
Different Idle stages for different phases of flight
Engines?
2 general electric CF34 -8C5
13600 thrust
14510 APR
What provides most of thrust
Bypass air
The VG System is controlled by FADEC and positioned by actuators through a
Mechanical linkage
High pressure fuel from the engine fuel metering unit hydraulically moves the actuators
