A

On the takeoff page, verify that the engine oil quantity is sufficient. The minimum oil quantities for engine start are 8 quarts when leaving a hub or 7 quarts when leaving an outstation. The minimum oil quantity for takeoff is 6 quarts.

Contact maintenance if the oil quantity falls below 6 quarts (amber indication) after engine start.

Q

Describe the amplified procedure for setting takeoff data?

A

To set the takeoff thrust:
• Select the T/O page on the MFD
• On the overhead engine panel, press the STORE push button and observe a cursor arrow appear on the
engine portion of the T/O page across from the T/O MODE. Rotate the SET knob to select the desired takeoff mode.
• Press the STORE button to move the cursor to REF T/O TEMP. Rotate the SET knob to change the indicated temperature to the temperature reported on the ATIS
• Press the STORE button to move the cursor to REF A-ICE. Rotate the SET knob to select anti-icing on or off.
• Press the STORE button once more. If the REF T/O TEMP is within limits the takeoff data will be accepted. If the data is accepted, the T/O DATA entered will turn cyan. If the information is not accepted, the data will remain amber.

Q

Under what conditions will the thrust reversers deploy?

A

Thrust reverser activation requires:

  • Main gear air/ground sensors
  • Thrust levers at idle

Maximum reverse thrust additionally requires:

  • Nose landing gear air/ground sensors; OR
  • 25 knot or greater main wheel speed

Q

What occurs if a thrust reverser deploys in flight?

  • 25 knot or greater main wheel speed
18
Q

What are the engine start callouts?

A 
N2
Oil Pressure
Ignition
Fuel Flow
Light Off
N1
2, 4, 6, 1/2, Pressure, Temperatures, and Vibrations in the green.
19
Q

Describe the engine start sequence?

A

After selecting START, verify N2 rotation within 10 seconds and oil pressure rise. At about 14% N2, verify ignition on (green IGN). At about 28.5% N2 or 12 seconds after ignition, verify fuel flow and then monitor ITT for light off (within 10 seconds of fuel flow). Verify N1 rotation. Fuel flow and ITT indications should increase at about 31.5% N2. Monitor ITT, N2, and oil pressure throughout the start so as not to exceed normal parameters. The engine start cycle is complete at 57% N2.

20
Q

What are the appropriate actions if the EICAS caution message E1 ATS SOV OPN appears after an engine start?

A

Allow the engine to run, follow QRH, and contact maintenance.

21
Q

When positioning the START/STOP selector knob from STOP to START, how long should the knob be paused in the RUN position prior to START?

A

When positioning the START/STOP selector from STOP to START, pause for 2 seconds in the RUN position prior to selecting START.

22
Q

How is the light-off recognized during engine start?

A

Light-off occurs when the digital numbers on the ITT indicator increase.

23
Q

What are the minimum oil quantities needed?

A

8 qts to leave hub
7 qts to leave outstation
6 qts for takeoff

If below 6 qts, contact maintenance.

24
Q

When should the engine start be aborted?

A
  • No light off within 10 seconds after first fuel flow indications (on ground only)
  • ITT approaches start limit
  • N2 decreases or remains steady for more than 30 seconds
  • N2 indicates no rotation up to 10 seconds after the start command.
  • Engine instruments indicate abnormal conditions
  • Any unusual noise or vibrations
  • Flames are visible from the exhaust pipe
  • Oil pressure does not reach at least 34 PSI after the engine reaches stabilized IDLE
25
Q

Are any messages inhibited during the takeoff roll?

A

Yes:

E1 (2) LOW N1
E1 (2) ATTCS NO MRGN
ENG 1 (2) REV DISAGREE
ENG 1 (2) REV FAIL
ICE COND-A/I INOP

These messages are inhibited when the airplane passes V1 minus 15 KIAS. Messages can appear prior to this speed.

26
Q

A

T/O-RSV is not selectable by the pilot.

Q

Where can engine oil quantity be monitored?

A

29
Q

When the landing gear is lowered below 15,000 ft, which target thrust rating will the FADEC default to?

A

The highest thrust rating a pilot would be able to select for takeoff which is T/O for A1P and E-T/O for A1E engines.

30
Q

Should an Engine Start Procedure be aborted if E1(2) ATS SOV OPN EICAS message is presented?

A

NO. Allow the engine to run and follow the QRH procedures. Then contact maintenance.

31
Q

What is the capacity for the oil tank?

A

32
Q

What is ATTCS?

A

ATTCS - Automatic Takeoff Thrust Control System

During takeoff, if an engine failure is detected, ATTCS automatically resets thrust on the remaining engine to the next highest takeoff thrust.

33
Q

What is the Forcer Mixer?

A

A part in the exhaust area of the engine. Hot exhaust and cold bypass air are mixed to reduce engine noise.

34
Q

What does the amber line represent on the ITT gauge?

A

The amber line appears which indicates the maximum continuous ITT limit.

35
Q

What is the engine vibration limitation?

A

2.5 IPS for 5 minutes during the takeoff or go-around phases of flight, or for 10 seconds during any other phase of flight.

36
Q

How is the FADEC powered?

A

<50% N2 FADEC is essentially powered

>50% N2 FADEC is powered by the PMA

38
Q

Describe what thrust settings ATTCS will change in the event of an engine failure for LR? XR?

A

T/O turns into T/O-RSV, Thrust Lever to wall: T/O RSV

39
Q

For the CLB, CRZ, and CON buttons to work, where must the thrust lever be?

A

The thrust lever must be set in the detent.

40
Q

If the thrust reversers are to be MEL’d, what must be done?

A

The thrust reversers must be physically bolted.
