28
Q

what happens when ATPCS senses torque lower than 18% on the ground?

A

uptrim command is sent to EEC on unaffected engine and the live engine bleed is closed

2.15 seconds later the failed engine will autofeather

29
Q

what happens when autofeather is triggered?

A

affected feather solenoid is activated and the affected feathering pump activates

autofeather is inhibited on the unaffected engine

30
Q

when will ATPCS disarm under normal conditions?

A
  1. PWR MGT anywhere but takeoff
  2. both torques more than 46%
  3. either PLA more than 49 degrees
  4. ATPCS button off
