EPR max limit.

Question 26

An amber REV appears on the EPR indicator when a reverser door is:

Answer 26

Question 27

A flashing amber REV for 9 seconds which then displays steady, occurs when:

Answer 27

A reverser door unlocks in flight.

Question 28

The word AVAIL will display in green for 9 seconds on the EPR gauge after a successful:

Answer 28

Engine start on the ground. After a successful inflight relight AVAIL will flash for 9 seconds.

Question 29

If the MAX EGT is exceeded the display pulses:

Answer 29
