Describe the low pressure rotor |
Single-stage wide-chord fan, two-stage axial LP compressor, driven by two-stage axial flow LP turbine, attached to LP shaft to form LP rotor assembly |
|
What protects the LP rotor |
OSP, Overspeed protection system |
|
What are the overspeed protection systems on the LP turbine |
Mechanical system in case of LP shaft failure |
|
How does Electronic overspeed Protection work |
FPMU and PMA energize HP shutoff valve to close, cuts off fuel |
|
How does mechanical LP shaft separation protection system work |
Bell crank pushes back on shutdown solenoid, high pressure shutoff valve (HPSOV) closes in Fuel pressure management unit (FPMU), engine shuts down. |
|
What is the high pressure (HP) rotor? |
Single stage centrifugal compressor, single-stage HP turbine, on the HP shaft, bevel gear drives accessory gear box. |
|
What protects HP rotor |
Electronic overspeed protection system |
|
How does electronic overspeed protection system work |
Signal from speed sensor in FPMU and signal from PMA energizes solenoid for HP shutoff valve, cuts fuel |
|
What is the thrust link |
Steel link between mount yoke and forward pylon spar |
|
What does the thrust link do? |
React thrust into the spar without bending loads into the yoke |
|
Define FPMU |
Fuel Pressure Metering Unit |
|
Define PMA |
Permanent Magnetic Alternator |
|
How to perform dry motor. |
Spin motor without fuel, no igniters |
|
How to perform wet motor |
Spin motor with fuel, no igniters |
|
What would wet motor be used for |
Leak checks, removal from preservation, priming of fuel system |
|
What would dry motor be used for |
AGB operation, lube pump operation, oil leaks, fuel leaks, rotation of engine rotors, engine indications, remove unfurled fuel from hot section. |
|
List low pressure fuel system components in order that fuel flows through them |
FPMU fuel inlet, booster pump, fuel/oil heat exchanger, fuel filter/bypass valve, fuel filter differential pressure sensor, fuel filter bypass valve |
|
Describe FADEC power supplies |
battery bus or PMA through PMA rectification and diode “OR” gate, whichever voltage is higher |
|
What section of FPMU controls whether motive flow is available |
Ecology valve |
|
Allowable fuel system maintenance. |
R/R FPMU, R/R fuel oil heat exchanger, filter change, replace/rig bleed valve cables, rig/replace overspeed protection cable, replace differential pressure sensor |
|
List FADEC protective functions during start |
Hot start protection, ignition loss, hung start, no N1 rotation. |
|
How do N1 and N2 sensors work |
Sensing magnetic fields/frequency |
|
How is ITT measured |
T5 probes, EGT and cold junction temperatures. |
|
How many T5 probes |
8 total. 4 channel A, 4 channel B |
|
Where is ITT measured |
Exit of high pressure turbine and inlet of low pressure turbine |
|
Describe N1 sync system |
Sets N1 commands for both engines to be the same, left engine is master, right is slave. |
|
What other system relies on N1 sync. |
Cruise speed control |
|
All scavenge oil must flow through which component |
Chip detector |
|
Describe FOHE |
Pulls heat from oil into fuel |
|
What are indications of FOHE malfunctions |
Rising oil level indicates fuel leak, oil smells like fuel, oil temp increase |
|
Which bearings are ball type bearings |
No 1 and No 2, forward engine |
|
Is FADEC protection available in flight |
No |
|
Describe how each FADEC channel controls the igniters |

|
How is overspeed shutdown solenoid tested. |
ECU closes fuel metering valve, no more that two seconds after throttle pulled to cutoff |
|
What is N2 sensor |
Monitors engine core rotational speed |
|
Where is N2 sensor |
FPMU and PMA |
|
What is N1 sensor |
Senses fan speed |
