Q

When will APR arm on takeoff?

A

Engine speed within 8% of scheduled takeoff power, normal or flex

17
Q

When will the APR system activate?

A

Thrust levers in TOGA
normal or flex scheduled
N1s differ by 15%
when thrust levers set in MAX POWER detent

18
Q

What occurs when the APR system activates?

A

FADEC commands an N1 speed increase dependent on thrust lever position

19
Q

What indication will we have of APR activation?

A

Green APR icon on operable engine N1 gauge

20
Q

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

A

Yes

21
Q

What is used to deploy and stow the thrust reversers?

A

Hydraulics
L reverser uses hydraulic system #1
R reverser uses hydraulic system #2

22
Q

How are the thrust reversers deployed?

A

Thrust levers must be set to 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.

23
Q

What is occurring during thrust reverser deployment?

A

The translating cowls move aft. The bypass air is redirected through cascade vanes which redirect the air forward.

24
Q

What indications will be seen with normal thrust reverser deployment?

A

Green REV icon on N1 gauges

25
Q

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

A

900 - 60 kts

700 - 75 kts

26
Q

What happens when a thrust reverser inadvertently deploys?

A

FADEC commands reverser to close and thrust set to idle on affected engine.

27
Q

What are the indications of an inadvertent thrust reverser deployment?

A

Amber REV icon on N1 gauge, REV UNLOCKED caution message.

28
Q

What is the normal air source for engine starts?

A

APU or cross-bleed if doing a single engine taxi

29
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.

30
Q

Where is the high pressure air ground connection located?

A

Under left engine nacelle

31
Q

When will the starter cut-out during an engine start?

A

50% N2

32
Q

What is the CRJ-900 Powerplant Model Number?

A

General Electric CF34-8C5
