Q

Max tailwind for engine start?

A

20 knots

17
Q

Max engine relight altitude?

A

30,000 feet

18
Q

When should “rotor bow” dry cranking be expected during auto starts?

A

Between 20mins and 5 hours of previous shutdown

19
Q

How are the thrust reversers controlled and powered?

A

Controlled by the EEC and powered be the respective engine HYD sys 1 or 2

20
Q

Time limitation for accurately checking engine oil quantity?

A

Between 5 to 30 mins after shutdown

21
Q

Starter cranking limits?

A

3mins on, 15secs off, 3 mins on, 15secs off, 3 mins on 15mins off

22
Q

Minimum oil quantity for aircraft operation in excess of 3 hours?

A

Full before flight (10.62 quarts)

23
Q

When is high idle commanded by the EEC?

A

When the aircraft is in the approach configuration

24
Q

What is the backup power source for the FADEC when the 28VDC (Batt Bus) is not available?

A

By a dedicated generator on the accessory gearbox

25
Q

Max oil temp?

A

+160ºC

26
Q

How is the ITT measured?

A

Seven dual element thermocouples located in the LP turbine entry area

27
Q

How is the engine pressure ratio calculated?

A

Ratio of engine inlet total pressure (TAT probe) and engine exhaust total pressure

28
Q

Max engine oil quantity?

A

12.8 US quarts (typically fill to 11.0 US quarts via oil replenishment system)

29
Q

Max oil consumption for engine?

A

.21 US quarts/hour

30
Q

How is the engine protected from overspeed?

A

When EEC recognises N1 or N2 overspeed, it closes the fuel high pressure SOV

31
Q

Where are the N1 and N2 RPM speed sensors located?

A

N1: Near the LP compressor shaft; N2: front of the accessory gearbox

32
Q

How is thrust management controlled throughout all phases of flight?

A

FADEC, note: an EEC is a major component of the FADEC

33
Q

What are the two autostart air envelopes and airspeeds?

A

ATS envelope (≤249knots) Windmill envelope(≥250knots)

34
Q

Which events would cause FADEC auto shutdown on ground?

A

N2≤15%(120secs). Idle not achieved by 120secs. Starter cutout not reached within starter duty timer(3min) ITT exceeds start limit (700ºC)

35
Q

Thrust REV limitations?

A

Prohibited in flight, touch and go landings and to back up aircraft.

36
Q

Minimum N2 idle limit?

A

58%

37
