Powerplant Flashcards
The engine LP N1 consists of:
A single stage low-pressure compressor, fan, driven by a three stage turbine
The Prat Whitney 305A engines each provide 4600 pounds of thrust at
Sea level up to 23.3 c normal
Sea level up to 31.1 c maximum
The starter/generator, in the start mode through the accessory gearbox, is applied to the:
HP spool (rotor)
The engine HP spool (rotor) n2 consists of a:
Four stage axial flow compressor and a single stage centrifugal compressor driven by a two stage axial flow turbine.
The engine instruments N1 and N2
DC powered through CBs on the DC Bus 2/EMER BAT and DC BUS 1 respectively
The engine oil temp/pressure indication requires
28 DC power
The primary engine thrust indicating instrument is the
Low speed rotor N1
The maximum transient ITT during takeoff is
825 C for 20 seconds
The maximum ITT during engine start is
950 degrees C
Illumination of the L or R ENG FILTERS light indicates
Impending bypass of aircraft fuel filter
… Engine oil filter
… Engine fuel filter
During engine operation of the BOVs, (bleed off valves) are positioned by
EEC command channel
During FADEC operation of the engine, engine overspeed protection is provided by
By N1 and N2 overspeed signals for the active EEC channel to the overspeed solenoid HFCU
By mechanical overspeed protection system
The ENG SYNC light indicates that
ENG SYNC is turned ON, and the nose landing gear is not in the up and locked position
A left or right ENG CMPTR white light indicates
- A minor malfunction has occurred in the one channel of the EEC
- FADEC will continue to monitor for healthiest channel to control the engine
- On ground – do not dispatch.
- In flight – refer to the engine computer light illuminated procedure in section IV of the AFM
Durning a normal ground start, the ignition light should come on when
N2 reaches 6%
