POWER PLANT

INTRODUCTIONThe Global airplane is powered by two BMW-Rolls Royce BR710A2-20 engines, each mounted on a pylon on either side of the rear fuselage.

The engine is an axial flow, dual shaft turbofan, with a 4.0:1 bypass ratio, with a rated static thrust of 14,750 pounds at sea level to ISA + 20.

The BR710A2-20 engine contains two main rotating assemblies (spools), a single-stage low pressure (LP) fan-driven by a two-stage turbine, and a ten-stage high pressure (HP) compressor, driven by a two-stage turbine. The HP spool provides an external drive for the accessories mounted on the accessory gearbox.

The engine is made up of eight modules as follows:

• Fan assembly• Fan case• Intermediate case• HP Compressor• HP Turbine and combustion chamber• LP Turbine and shaft• Accessory Gearbox (AGB)• Bypass duct

Each engine provides bleed air extraction, from either the 5th stage or the 8th stage of compression, for Air Conditioning/Pressurization, Cowl and Wing anti-icing and engine starts.

The engine oil system consists of a lubrication system, a heat management system and an oil replenishment system.

The fuel system consists of a low-pressure system and a high-pressure system. Fuel is supplied from the airplane fuel system via AC and/or DC fuel pumps and engine-driven fuel pumps.

Thrust management is controlled throughout all phases of operation by the Full Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC). An Electronic Engine Controller (EEC) is the major part of the FADEC, interfacing between the airplane and the engine.

Primary engine indications are displayed on EICAS and secondary indications on the STATUS page.

Autothrottle is controlled by the autothrottle computer, located in the IAC, and sends signals to FADEC via the throttle, for thrust commands.

Starting is initiated through the FADEC, to provide normal ground/air starts, alternate ground/air starts, wet and dry motoring and continuous ignition. Starting can also be performed manually.

P I L O T T R A I N I N G G U I D E

POWER PLANT

The thrust reverser system is operated by the airplane hydraulic system and is controlled by the EEC.

Vibration monitoring system provides signals indicating N1 (Fan) and N2 (HP compressor) vibration levels on each engine.

Fire detection is provided by dual element sensor assemblies connected in series to provide two independent sensing loops. Two fire bottles are located at the rear of the airplane.

DESCRIPTION

ENGINE ASSEMBLY AND AIRFLOWThe BR710A2-20 engine contains two main rotating assemblies (spools), a single-stage low-pressure (LP), fan-driven by a two-stage turbine, and a ten-stage high pressure (HP) compressor, driven by a two-stage turbine. The HP spool provides an external drive for the accessories mounted on the accessory gearbox.

All air entering the engine air intake passes through the LP compressor and is divided into two main flows, the bypass and core airflows. The core airflow passes through the HP compressor to the annular combustion chamber, which supplies the engine with its fuel requirements. The core airflow then flows through two stages of HP turbines and two stages of LP turbines into the forced mixer to mix with bypass air.

The bypass air passes through the fan outlet guide vanes along the bypass duct to meet with the core airflow. The combined airstream is exhausted to atmosphere.

POWER PLANT

• Fan assembly - Compresses the air entering the engine inlet cowl and feeds a percentage of it to the core, while the bypass air provides a major portion of the engine’s thrust

• Fan case - Provides containment in the event of fan blade failure and noise attenuation

• Intermediate case - Provides a fixed structure for rotating systems and houses the drive for the AGB

• HP Compressor - Provides a pressurized airflow to the combustion chamber for combustion and cooling purposes and pressurized air for ECS and Wing and Cowl anti-icing

• HP Turbine and combustion chamber - The two stage HP turbine drives the HP compressor. The combustion chamber mixes fuel and air, for an optimum mixture, for maximum efficiency

• LP Turbine and shaft - Provides the LP turbine shaft which drives a two stage LP turbine that drives the LP compressor (fan)

• Accessory Gearbox (AGB) - Transmits the motoring force from the engine to the accessories mounted on the AGB. The AGB also transmits motoring from the air starter to the engine during start/crank procedures. The AGB also houses the integral oil tank

• Bypass duct - Provides a streamlined path for the fan bypass airflow and supports the thrust reverser unit

FULL AUTHORITY DIGITAL ELECTRONIC CONTROL (FADEC)Thrust management is controlled throughout all phases of operation by the Full Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC). An Electronic Engine Controller (EEC) is the major part of the FADEC, interfacing between the airplane systems and the engine.

The EEC provides the following control functions:

• Fuel metering through the FMU for:• Automatic start and relight• Idle speed control• Acceleration and deceleration• Engine power setting• Limit protection for N1 and N2 speeds• Limit protection for temperature• Independent overspeed protection of N1 and N2

P I L O T T R A I N I N G G U I D E

POWER PLANT

The EEC is an electronic control unit containing two channels A and B. Each channel is comprised of a Central Processor Unit (CPU), Power Supply Unit (PSU) and an Independent Overspeed Protection (IOP) unit.

The PSU controls the power supplies to the FADEC system and to the EECs, CPU and IOP.

The PSU controls the switch over from the airplane 28 VDC supply to power supplied by the Dedicated Generator (DG). Normally the FADEC is powered by the DG when the engine is operating. If DG power fails, the PSU will revert to the airplane power supply, to continue operation of the engine. The DG is mounted on the front of the accessory gearbox.

The CPU receives and processes all input signals and calculates the output signals. Control of the engine automatically alternates between channel A and channel B. If channel A is in control, channel B is the backup for the duration of that flight. On the next engine start channel B is in control and channel A is backup. The change command is triggered by the engine shutdown on the ground. An interlock prevents both channels from being in control at the same time. Each CPU’s operation is monitored by a “watchdog timer”. If the watchdog timer senses a CPU malfunction within a set timescale, then it will momentarily pass control to the other channel, while the faulty CPU resets. After four CPU resets the watchdog will impose a freeze and control will pass to the other channel for the remainder of the flight.

POWER PLANT

The IOP will automatically shut off fuel in the event of N1 or N2 reaching the overspeed trigger values. When either N1 or N2 speed signal has exceeded a preset value, one of the IOPs will “vote” to close the HPSOV, located in the FMU and indicate this to the other channel via the cross link. The engine will not shut down unless both IOPs detect an overspeed. The overspeed function is checked during normal engine shutdown by resetting the overspeed trip points to a subidle value. When the speed drops below the reset values, the IOP overspeed detection trip points logic resets.

The oil quantity transmitter provides indication to the STATUS page and will display an OIL LO QTY message if the oil quantity is low.

The pump supplies pressure to move the oil to the bearings and drive gear and to return it to the tank. The oil pressure transducer provides an indication of the pressure between the oil feed and scavenge lines and displays it on EICAS.

If the oil pressure is low, while the engine is running, an OIL LO PRESS message is displayed on EICAS.

Oil is fed to the pressure filter. The filter removes debris prior to delivery to the bearing/gears. A pressure relief bypass valve allows oil to bypass the filter in the event of filter blockage, and an OIL FILTER message will be displayed on EICAS, indicating an impending bypass.

The oil temperature bulbs provide oil temperature to the Electronic Engine Controller (EEC). This data is used by the Heat management System and is also sent to EICAS.

OIL REPLENISHMENT SYSTEMEach engine oil tank capacity is 13.6 U.S. quarts (12.86 liters). Engine oil level is measured using a sensor (oil probe) which is located in the engine oil tank and provides quantity information on the STATUS display.

An oil replenishment tank is located in the aft equipment bay and contains an electrical pump and sensor probe for quantity level. The oil replenishment tank volume contains 6 U.S. quarts (5.7 liters). The oil replenishment system is designed for ground use only and serves both main engines and the APU.

The system can be operated using the battery or external electrical power. Oil level monitoring is required during servicing the engine(s) to verify that the system stops when the full level is reached. It is recommended to stop replenishment manually when gauge reads 11.0 quarts.

The oil filling system is operated through the oil replenishment panel located behind the pilot’s seat in the flight compartment. The panel will display all lights for a period of three seconds when the panel is powered up.

Each engine may be replenished individually if:

• Both engines are shut down• The engine to be replenished has been shut down for a minimum of 5 minutes and

to a maximum of 30 minutes

ENGINE FUEL SYSTEMThe fuel system provides engine fuel for combustion, HP compressor Variable Stator Vanes (VSV) actuation and engine oil cooling.

The main components that are contained in the fuel system are as follows:

• Fuel Pump Unit - The fuel pump unit contains both the LP and HP pumps. Fuel supplied from the airplane fuel system passes through the (centrifugal type) LP pump, is pressurized and is delivered to the Fuel Cooled Oil Cooler (FCOC)

• LP Filter - Fuel from the FCOC enters the LP fuel filter, where any debris is trapped before proceeding on to the HP pump. The fuel filter contains a combined DP switch/indicator. The combined unit provides indications on EICAS of low pressure fuel or an impending LP fuel filter blockage. A FUEL FILTER message will be displayed on EICAS. A fuel low pressure switch is also provided to alert the crew of low fuel pressure in the supply line to the HP pump. A FUEL LO PRESS message will be displayed on EICAS

• HP Fuel Pump - The HP fuel pump increases the pressure of the fuel for delivery to the Fuel Metering Unit (FMU)

• The FMU meters the fuel required by the engine in response to the Electronic Engine Controller (EEC) and provides pressure which is used as a motive force for the VSVs. The variable inlet guide vanes and the first three stages of stators of the HP compressor adjust the airflow entering the compressor to assist during engine starts, help prevent compressor surges and maintain best specific fuel consumption. The FMU also prevents fuel flowing to the fuel spray nozzles in the event of an engine overspeed, and drains the fuel manifold into the drain tank on engine shutdown. The desired fuel flow is maintained by controlling the position of the fuel metering valve. A constant pressure drop is maintained across the fuel metering valve by the spill valve, which diverts unused fuel back to the fuel pump. The spill diverter valve allows spill return fuel to the FCOC at low engine speeds to prevent fuel from recirculating around the HP pump, which could cause excessive fuel temperatures. The high pressure shutoff valve (HPSOV) allows the fuel to enter the HP fuel filter and is controlled by the FMU and the engine run switches

• Fuel Flow Transmitter - Provides an indication of fuel flow to the EEC and to EICAS

NOTECan be displayed in pounds/hour (pph) or kilograms/hour (kph).

• HP Filter - Prevents debris from entering the fuel manifold and causing possible blockage of the fuel spray nozzles

• Fuel Temperature Transducers - Fuel enters the fuel filter and passes over the temperature transducers which relay the information to the EEC for the heat management system and displays the temperature on the FUEL synoptic

• Overspeed and Splitter Unit (OSU) - Splits the fuel flow equally between the lower and upper fuel manifolds. In the event of LP shaft breakage detection, the OSU has a fuel shutoff mechanism that will open an overspeed valve to allow fuel pressure to close the splitter valve

• Fuel Spray Nozzles - Deliver the metered fuel into the combustion chamber. The combination of HP air and narrow fuel orifice in the nozzle causes the fuel to be forced into a fine spray for maximum efficiency combustion

• Fuel Drain Tank - The fuel is drained from the fuel manifold after engine shutdown and is passed through a drain valve in the FMU to the drain tank. The drain tank delivers the fuel to the LP pump during the next engine run. The tank has an integral injector which uses LP pump delivery fuel as a motive force to empty the tank

ENGINE BLEED AIR SYSTEMThe pneumatic system supplies compressed air for air conditioning and pressurization, Ice and Rain Protection and Engine starting. The pneumatic air supply normally comes from the engines (inflight), and the APU or a high pressure ground air supply unit (on the ground).

The engine bleed air system is controlled during all phases of operation by two Bleed Management Controllers (BMC).

The BMC selects air from either the low pressure port (5th stage of the high pressure compressor) or the high pressure port (8th stage of the high pressure compressor) depending on the demand. Under normal operation (inflight), the air is selected from the 5th stage of compression. When the airflow is insufficient, the BMC will select the 8th stage of compression.

L and R ENG BLEED AIR selection, AUTO or ON, is accomplished via the BLEED/AIR COND/ANTI-ICE panel on the overhead panel. A crossbleed valve (CBV) is installed between the left and right pneumatic ducts, which can be opened, automatically by the BMC or manually, to provide bleed air for engine starting. The APU is normal source of bleed air used for engine starting.

THRUST MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

THRUST LEVERSThe thrust lever quadrant incorporates a main lever for setting forward thrust and reverse thrust, with a finger lift lever for thrust reverser operation, Takeoff/Go Around (TOGA) switches, autothrottle engage and disengage switches, quick disconnect and engine run switches.

Pressing the TOGA switches will change the pitch on the command bars on the PFD. For more information see chapter 2, AFCS.

The autothrottle is engaged by pressing the left or right engage/disengage switch(es). It is disengaged by a second press of either engage/disengage switch or by pressing either autothrottle quick disconnect button or by moving the thrust lever manually.

Selecting the ENGINE RUN switches to ON activates fuel pumps, opens the HPSOV in the fuel management unit and initiates the start sequence. Selecting the ENGINE RUN switches to OFF deactivates fuel pumps, closes the HPSOV and shuts down the engine.

Thrust lever movement transmits a signal to a dual channel RVDT. Each channel in the RVDT is dedicated to an EEC channel. The dedicated generator provides (through the EEC) the electrical power required for the RVDT to function. The EEC interprets the RVDT signal as a power demand and adjusts engine parameters accordingly. There is no mechanical linkage between thrust lever and engine.

ENGINE PRESSURE RATIO (EPR)EPR is the primary control mode for thrust setting.

Raw EPR is calculated as a ratio of engine inlet total pressure and engine exhaust total pressure (P20 and P50) and then trims are applied to generate a fully trimmed EPR for engine control and display.

The engine inlet total pressure and temperature are sampled at the fan inlet. Engine inlet total pressure (P20/T20) is used by the EEC. P20 is used by the EEC for control functions and in the calculation of EPR and Mach number. Temperature sensor (T20) is used by the EEC for control function and for various EPR related functions.

The core engine exhaust total pressure (P50), in combination with P20/T20, is also used by the EEC for EPR calculation. P50 air is sensed by four pressure probes, located on the outlet guide vane assembly. The pressure transducer within the EEC provides a signal to both channels of the EEC and is temperature compensated. The data entry plug ensures that both engines display the same EPR for the same actual engine thrust level.

EPR RATING MODE SELECTIONEPR rating mode is automatically or manually set through the FMS PERF pages on the FMS. The following modes are available:

• TAKEOFF (TO) Rating - This rating is always set whenever the airplane is on the ground or whenever an engine failure is detected in flight. TO rating is limited to a maximum of 5 minutes (10 minutes in the event of an engine failure). Also, if AFCS mode is go-around or windshear, the rating is also automatically set to TO. The TO rating will remain until all of the following conditions are met:• The airplane is ≥ 400 feet above the runway• The flaps/slats are retracted• The pilot retards the thrust lever (Throttle Lever Angle (TLA) < 37°). This

condition does not apply when autothrottle is engaged• Reduced Thrust Takeoff (FLX) Rating - The FLX mode is permissible when the

airplane weight and runway conditions are such that full TO rating is not required. FLX thrust is implemented by the use of an assumed temperature higher than ambient day temperature and is subject to the following:• The use of FLX thrust is limited to airport elevations below 10,000 feet MSL• The use of FLX thrust is at the pilot’s discretion• Flex thrust does not result in any loss of function, failure warnings or takeoff

configuration warnings• 75% of full rated thrust is used on all takeoffs• Manually advancing thrust levers to MAX THRUST changes the rating from

FLX to TO• Climb (CLB) Rating - After transition from TO or FLX to climb, the engine rating

will stay in CLB until reaching the cruise altitude

• After reaching initial cruise altitude, the rating will go back to CLB if a new climb is performed (step climb)

• Cruise (CRZ) Rating - This rating will transition from CLB to CRZ after reaching the Top Of Climb (TOC) altitude and the airplane speed has reached cruise speed target within 1 knot or 0.005 Mach

• The rating will remain in CRZ as the airplane descends, until flaps/slats or gear are selected down, at which point the rating will return to TO

• Maximum Continuous Thrust (MCT) - This rating is valid:• When an engine is failed, the rating mode will transition out of TO and into

MCT instead of CLB or CRZ• The rating will remain at MCT in the engine out condition, as long as the twin

engine rating would have been CLB or CRZ• Manual Engine Rating - Any rating (TO, CLB, MCT, CRZ) but FLEX can be

ENGINE IDLE CONTROLThe EEC uses one of two modes to set steady state power above idle, EPR or N1 mode. Although idle is controlled to a RPM value, an equivalent EPR is also calculated so that the EEC can establish a Throttle RVDT Angle (TRA) to EPR relationship throughout the operating range.

The EEC will control idle to prevent the engine from operating below minimum limits to:

• Ensure that cabin bleed demands are met• Ensure cowl anti-ice demands are met on the ground or inflight• Ensure that the variable frequency generators stay on line• Protect against inclement weather by opening bleed valves to aid rejection of water

and maintain the surge margin, commanding continuous ignition to maintain combustion, as well as increasing engine speed by an appropriate margin

Low idle range is commanded when in the forward idle position and the airplane is not in an approach configuration.

High idle is commanded when in the forward idle position and the airplane is in an approach configuration.

If the EEC cannot determine whether or not an approach configuration has been set up, then the EEC will default to high idle.

Forward thrust is set by positioning the thrust levers manually or automatically. Reverse thrust is a manual selection only.

STARTING AND IGNITIONThe engine starting system consists of the Starter Air Valve (SAV), interfacing with the EEC, and the Air Turbine Starter (ATS). Pneumatic bleed air is routed through the SAV and drives the ATS, which in turn drives the HP compressor via the accessory gearbox.

The EEC receives start commands from the cockpit. SAV position is fed to both EEC lanes and is powered by 28 VDC.

The EEC also controls both high energy igniter boxes for starting and relighting and the ignition system is powered by 28 VDC.

STARTER AIR VALVE (SAV)The SAV controls the air supply to the starter motor. The SAV is controlled by either channel of the EEC from crew input.

During AUTO ground starts the EEC will, on command from the crew, open the SAV, initiate engine rotation, supply fuel and ignition and monitor engine parameters during start. The EEC will also close the SAV, disengage the starter motor and switch off ignition at starter cutout speed.

During manual ground starts, opening and closing of the SAV and HPSOV is controlled by the crew. The EEC will control ignition sequencing, after ignition is enabled by the crew.

The SAV can also be operated manually, by ground personnel, in the event of a valve failure. The SAV is displayed on the BLEED/ANTI-ICE synoptic, anytime an engine is not operating.

AIR TURBINE STARTER (ATS)The ATS rotates the HP compressor to enable engine start.

The ATS comprises a single-stage turbine, a tungsten cutter (to cut off turbine, if rotor bearings fail), a sprag-type clutch, an output drive shaft decoupler (prevents driving the turbine, in the event the sprag clutch seizes) and an output drive shaft shear neck (protects the gearbox, in the event the starter overtorques or seizes).

At starter cutout speed, the SAV is closed, the turbine loses speed, which disengages the sprag clutch.

IGNITION SYSTEMThe ignition system ignites the fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber, as commanded by either of the two channels of the EEC, during the start sequence and to maintain combustion during critical phases of flight (stall).

The ignition system comprises two exciter boxes, two igniter leads and two igniter plugs. Power is supplied from 28 VDC and is controlled from channel A or B in the EEC.

For consecutive ground start attempts the EEC alternates channels and igniters as follows:

• EEC channel A Igniter 1• EEC channel B Igniter 1• EEC channel A Igniter 2• EEC channel B Igniter 2

The above only applies if there are no failures within the FADEC, which prevents alternate selection.

In the event that the ground start (AUTO) has been aborted, the EEC will automatically select the other igniter on the following ground start.

During air starts (AUTO), the EEC will select both igniter channels.

During manual ground and air starts, the EEC will select both igniters, as commanded by the IGNITION switch.

ENGINE RUN SWITCHESThe ENGINE RUN switch(es), when selected by the crew to either the ON or OFF position, will inhibit or allow the EEC to control the engine. The switch(es) interface(s) with both EEC and the HP Shut Off Valve (HPSOV) to:

• Manually control closing and opening of the HPSOV• Indicate to the EEC the Engine Run switch position and perform a dual channel

reset and to close the HPSOV in the Fuel Management Unit (FMU)

The Engine Run switch controls the respective HPSOV. The switch in the ON position enables the HPSOV open and the switch in the OFF position enables the HPSOV closed.

The Engine Run switch in the ON position gives EEC authority to open HPSOV during an automatic ground or air start. When the switch is set to the OFF position, the HPSOV will close.

The Engine Run switch in the ON position will directly command the EEC to open the HPSOV during a manual ground or air start. When the switch is set to the OFF position, the HPSOV will close.

The EEC will override an Engine Run Switch ON command by closing the HPSOV only for an automatic start abort or relight abort, or in the case of an overspeed.

The transition ON to OFF initiates a reset of both lanes of the EEC of the associated engine and will also send a signal to command the starter air valve to close.

At approximately 42% N2, IGN off and at approximately 45% N2 START off (SAV closed).

During an automatic start the EEC will perform all checks for starting anomalies. If a fault is detected, (hot start, hung start, etc.) the EEC will abort the start. The crew can stop the start sequence anytime by selecting the ENGINE RUN switch to OFF.

ROTOR BOWIf the BR710A-20 engine is to be started between 20 minutes and 5 hours after the previous shutdown, there is a high potential for high core vibration during the next start. This is known as “Rotor Bow”, which occurs due to differential cooling of the high-pressure spool and subsequent distortions of the rotating assembly.

In all manual ground starts, the operator must carry out an Extended Dry Crank (EDC) procedure, consisting of motoring the engine prior to start, for a period of 30 seconds at the maximum motoring speed achievable.

However, during all automatic starts, the FADEC will determine if the EDC procedure is required and carry it out automatically. In both manual and automatic starts, it is permissible to continue the starting operation immediately following the EDC procedure, without performing a spool down of the engine.

AUTO-RELIGHTThe EEC provides an Auto-Relight function to detect and recover an engine flameout. The Auto-Relight function is enabled when the engine is at or above Idle and the ENGINE RUN switch is ON.

Two methods are used to detect a flameout at all engine speeds at or above Idle:

• By monitoring the rate of change of N2. The threshold for the rate of change is calculated as a function of HP compressor pressure exit (P30) and altitude. A flameout is assumed to have occurred if N2 decelerates at a rate greater than this threshold

• By monitoring the difference between commanded Idle N2 and actual N2. If the difference is greater than a preset threshold, a flameout is assumed to have occurred. This method is suppressed for 15 seconds, following a transition from low idle to high idle

When a flameout is detected, the EEC will energize both igniters and schedule fuel flow until the engine relights. The igniters are energized for 20 seconds after an engine relight.

If the engine continues to run down (no relight), then the EEC will close the HPSOV at 35% N2 and deenergize the igniters and an EICAS message is posted.

QUICK RELIGHTThe EEC provides a Quick Relight function which automatically relights the engine if the ENGINE RUN switch has been momentarily selected to OFF then reselected to ON.

The Quick Relight functionality is defined as follows:

• Enabled only if in-flight• Activated when ENGINE RUN switch is reselected ON within 30 seconds after

selecting ENGINE RUN switch to OFF and N2 greater than or equal to Idle (42% N2)

• When Quick Relight activated, fuel is commanded ON and both ignition systems ON

If N2 continues to fall below Idle speed, Quick Relight will maintain both the ignition systems and fuel ON until the engine speed is regained for up to 20 seconds.

The crew can cancel Quick Relight by selecting the ENGINE RUN back to OFF.

AUTOTHROTTLE SYSTEMThe autothrottle system performs the following functions:

• Operation over the full range of available forward thrust for two engine operation. The autothrottle will not operate under single engine conditions

• Hands-off operation from takeoff to landing• Engine synchronization• Electronic Thrust Trim System (ETTS)

The A/T has two basic modes of operation:

1. Thrust control for the following AP/FD modes:- T/O (Takeoff)- GA (Go Around)- WS (Windshear)- FLC (Flight Level Change)

2. Speed control- For all other Flight Director modes

Note that the default operation for the A/T is speed control when no AP/FD modes are active.

AUTOTHROTTLE (A/T) DATA SOURCESThe A/T selects the IRS displayed on the coupled PFD as the IRS source during non-dual coupled AP/FD operation. During dual coupled AP/FD operation A/T selects the IRS displayed on each PFD and averages the data.

The A/T selects the ADC displayed on the coupled PFD as the ADC source during non-dual coupled Autopilot/Flight Director (AP/FD) operation. During dual coupled AP/FD operation A/T selects the ADC displayed on each PFD and averages the data.

A/T LIMITINGThe A/T system provides speed and thrust envelope limiting. Thrust envelope limiting is based on the active EPR rating, while speed envelope limiting is based on minimum speed limits as well as placard and structural speed limits.

P I L O T T R A I N I N G G U I D E

POWER PLANT

A/T MONITORINGMonitoring is incorporated in the A/T system to ensure control integrity. The monitoring consists of validity, servo response and pilot override monitoring. Validity monitoring ensures that all parameters required for A/T control, during a specific phase of flight, are present and valid and detects engine out, engine reversion, thrust reverser deployment and internal faults. The servo response monitor compares the servo response with the commanded response to ensure the integrity of the servo control system. The pilot override monitor detects pilot movement of the thrust levers while the A/T system is engaged, to provide automatic disconnect of the A/T system.

ELECTRONIC THRUST TRIM SYSTEM (ETTS)The electronic engine trim system will command limited authority thrust. The trim system will perform trimming to assist the A/T as well as the crew at setting trimmed thrust. In addition, the system will perform N1/N2 synchronization when selected by the crew. The engine trim operating mode (N1 SYNC, N2 SYNC, EPR CMD SYNC and NO SYNC) are selectable via the FMS CDU. Only one operating mode can be active at a time. Selection of an operating mode arms the Sync system for engagement, when the conditions and flight phase are appropriate.

SYNC MODE SELECTIONThe engine synchronization (SYNC) function is selected automatically by the autothrottle system (if engaged), or manually via the FMS. SYNC system will compare engine speeds and compute a trim value in order to match the two engine speeds. SYNC mode may be selected by the crew for takeoff below 400 feet, but it is inhibited in the automatic mode below 400 feet. N1 shaft speed, N2 shaft speed or EPR mode can be synchronized.

The ETTS provides EPR trim, N1 synchronization, N2 synchronization, engage status as well as fault annunciation on EICAS.

Toggling the switches, while on the ground, during T/O phase, with the thrust levers less than 60% of max. thrust (23° TRA), will engage the A/T in an armed state. Subsequent advancement of both thrust levers above 60% maximum thrust, while airspeed is less than 60 knots, will result in automatic engagement of the system into takeoff thrust control, moving the thrust levers to the appropriate thrust settings.

Toggling the switches, while on the ground, with the thrust levers greater than 60% maximum thrust, while airspeed is less than 60 knots, will engage the system directly into takeoff thrust control.

Toggling the switches, while inflight, above 400 feet, will engage the system into a control mode which is compatible to the active AP/FD mode. In the event that no AP/FD mode has been selected, the A/T will engage into basic speed control mode.

Engagement is inhibited during a detected fault condition or during an invalid flight condition. The A/T system can be disengaged both manually and/or automatically.

A/T DISENGAGEMENTAutomatic disengagement will occur when the A/T system, for any engaged or on-ground armed state, in the event of a detected system failure (abnormal disconnect) or when A/T control is inappropriate for the current phase of flight (normal disconnect) such as on the ground, following touchdown. The A/T annunciation will turn red and flash, and an aural AUTOTHROTTLE is generated when the A/T is disengaged automatically or manually. The aural AUTOTHROTTLE is not generated when theA/T disconnects due to aircraft weight on wheels on touchdown.

A normal disconnect results in a one-second aural warning as A/T 1 or A/T 2 is removed from the PFD. An abnormal disconnect results in flashing A/T 1 or A/T 2 annunciation continuously, along with a continuous aural warning, until the crew confirms the disengagement by pressing the quick disconnect button(s).

A/T MODE OPERATIONThe A/T system is integrated with the flight control systems of the airplane to provide compatibility with the active vertical mode of the Flight Guidance System (FGS). The flight guidance vertical mode is normally determined by the flight director or autopilot and is influenced by the FMS during vertical navigation control. The A/T mode operation results in A/T thrust control which compliments the pitch control being performed by the FGS. In the event that no FGS vertical mode is active, the A/T will provide independent thrust control based on internally computed mode.

The following table outlines the integrated functional control provided by the A/T and FGS for the various control modes of the AP/FD and FMS for specified phases of a typical flight.

TAKEOFF THRUST CONTROL MODEThe takeoff thrust control mode is activated when the A/T is armed for engagement for takeoff, airspeed less than 60 knots and both thrust levers are set above 23°, corresponding to 60% of maximum thrust. Once activated, the A/T will advance the thrust to the TO EPR rating. The A/T will control the thrust lever to the active EPR rating during takeoff roll until the airspeed increases above 60 knots, at which time the takeoff thrust hold control mode activates.

The takeoff thrust control mode reactivates at an altitude transition of 400 feet during the takeoff climb-out. If a change to the active EPR rating, either by the crew or by automatic means, has occurred, then the A/T will control the engine power setting to the new active rating.

TAKEOFF THRUST HOLD CONTROL MODEThe takeoff thrust hold control mode is activated to ensure that no thrust reductions occur during takeoff between the time the airplane transitions above 60 knots to 400 feet AGL.

The takeoff thrust hold control mode deactivates as the airplane transitions through 400 feet AGL during takeoff climb out.

A/T T/O mode will remain enabled until 400 feet AGL. Following the 400 feet AGL transition, with A/T engaged, T/O mode remains active until a non T/O AP/FD mode activates.

NOTEAnytime an A/T mode changes, it will flash for 5 seconds.

FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE THRUST CONTROL MODEThe flight level change thrust control mode activates when crew selects the FLC mode or when FMS engages the VFLC mode. The A/T selects the active upper/lower EPR rating for climb/descent.

The active upper and lower EPR ratings are either computed from the phase of flight or are pilot selected via an EPR rating menu.

For small flight level change climbs and descents, the A/T will provide thrust as required to attain a programmed rate of climb/descent. The programmed rate of climb/descent is proportional to the magnitude of the selected altitude change. Full power climbs and full idle descents are achieved when the target climb/descent rate increases beyond the capability of the airplane for the active upper and lower EPR rating.

When the selected altitude is captured, the thrust mode will automatically change to SPD mode.

AIRSPEED CONTROL MODEThe airspeed control mode is the basic control mode of the A/T. Engagement of the A/T system in-flight, with no AP/FD mode engaged, will result in the A/T engaging in airspeed control mode. Airspeed control mode is also active if the A/T is engaged in-flight with the AP/FD engaged in:

• Altitude capture (ASEL)• Altitude hold (ALT)• Vertical speed (VS), pitch hold (PIT), or• Glideslope track (GS) modes

The airspeed control mode tracks the active airspeed (IAS) or Mach target. The airspeed target is selected on the flight guidance panel and is modified by the FMS or manually. LIM is annunciated when the A/T cannot reach the speed target due to either not enough thrust available to climb or thrust at IDLE and configuration will not allow a deceleration.

The airspeed control mode provides high and low speed protection. In the event that the active speed target is above the structural limits (Vmo, Mmo, Gear and Flaps placards) minus 3 knots, the A/T will limit the speed to the lower of the appropriate limits, as a function of airplane configuration, minus 3 knots.

In the event that the active speed target is below the lower speed limit, the A/T will limit the speed to one of the following:

1. If the A/T is in approach mode (flaps 16 or greater and gear down, or GS mode active) the minimum speed is limited to 1.3 Vs.

2. If the A/T is not in approach mode, the speed is limited to 1.2 Vs + 3 kts.

The SPD active mode will go to armed and LIM will be active.

In the event that a speed target is selected that requires an engine EPR higher than the upper active EPR rating or lower than the active lower EPR rating, the A/T will limit the commanded thrust to the appropriate EPR rating.

RETARD MODEThe retard mode control provides a fixed-rate thrust lever retard of both thrust levers to the idle position during airplane flare or landing. The A/T remain engaged until touchdown to provide go around thrust if go around mode is selected.

The retard mode activates based on the radio altitude of less than 50 feet AGL, if the airplane is in landing configuration (gear down and flaps ≥ 16°).

In the event that the airplane touches down without the A/T retarding the thrust levers, due to failing to detect a landing configuration or lack of valid radio altitude. Upon touchdown detection, the A/T will disconnect and throttle levers position and engine rpm remain the same.

GO AROUND THRUST CONTROL MODEThe A/T go around mode provides a fixed rate thrust lever advance to the active upper EPR rating in response to the activation of the AP/FD go around mode.

THRUST REVERSER SYSTEMThe thrust reversers provide additional deceleration to assist during landing and rejected takeoff.

The thrust reverser is a pivoting door type. When deployed, the upper and lower doors pivot to redirect exhaust gases through the top and bottom of the nacelle, eliminating forward thrust and providing a braking effect. Each door has a kicker plate, attached to its front edge, designed to ensure that the exhaust gases are ejected in the proper direction.

In-flight the pivot doors are locked closed.

THRUST REVERSERThe thrust reverser is powered by hydraulic system No. 1 for the left reverser and hydraulic system No. 2 for the right reverser, and is controlled by the EEC and electrical signals from the airplane.

The hydraulic system comprises:

• Isolation Control Unit - controlled by the EEC• Directional Control Unit - controlled by electrical signals• Primary Lock Actuators - lock both upper and lower doors• Door Actuators - one for each door

REVERSE THRUST LEVERSThe reverse thrust lever microswitches and interlock baulk switches will not allow the engine to increase reverse thrust until the upper and lower doors are deployed. REV icons are displayed on N1 display, to indicate position of doors and reverser status.

In the event that a thrust reverser should become unlocked, an EICAS message will be displayed, an aural warning is generated and the thrust is retarded to idle regardless of thrust lever position. Should the door open, a red REV icon will be shown in the N1 gauge.

REVERSER SYSTEM LOCKOUTIn the event that a reverser fails (inoperative), the affected reverser can be locked out.

Each door can be fixed in the closed position by an inhibition bolt and by use of a manual inhibit lever on the isolation control unit.

When fitted, the red bolts will protrude above the cowl surface and can be seen by the crew on walkaround. The bottom bolt is located at approximately the six o’clock position and the top bolt at the 12 o’clock position. The EICAS message will remain posted, but can be scrolled out of view.
