canadair chaiiencjer OPERATING MANUAL SECTION 17 POWER PLANT 1. GENERAL (Figure 1) The aircraft is powered by two Avco Lycoming ALF 502L-2 engines secured to the rear fuselage by yoke structures bolted to the engine mounting torque box in the rear fuselage equipment bay. The engines are twin spool turbofans with a 5:1 bypass ratio to provide low fuel consumption in cruise and improved single engine take-off performance. The two spools, designated as the low pressure (LP) and high pressure (HP) spools, are not connected mechanically, but are related in operation by the air and fuel flow through the engine. The engine airflow passes through a single-stage fan assembly and is divided into two flow systems. The main airflow, bypass a i r , is routed by a fan duct around the engine core and exhausts through the thrust reverser assembly. The remaining airflow passes through the LP compressor into the engine core, which consists of the HP compressor, combustion section and HP and LP turbine assemblies. The hot gas is then exhausted through a primary exhaust nozzle and mixed with the bypass exhaust a i r. An automatic interstage air bleed system, located on the HP compressor casing, bleeds HP compressor a i r , during transient phases of engine operation, to prevent compressor s t a l l. An accessory gear box, driven by the high pressure compressor through a bevel gear and drive shaft, provides mountings for the power plant accessories and the engine starter. Bleed a i r ports, located just to the rear of the high pressure compressor, provide high pressure air for the aircraft's pneumatic system, thrust reverser actuation, nose cowl anti-icing and cross feed engine starting. The following additional features of the power plants are described in this section: Independent fuel control and distribution systems installed on each engine Integral lubricating oil systems The throttle quadrant assembly containing mechanically interlocked throttle and thrust reverse levers The engine instrument system featuring vertical scale and digital readout displays Engine starting and ignition systems Pneumatically actuated thrust reverser assemblies which reverse the direction of bypass flow thrust to assist aircraft braking The engine vibration monitoring and warning system SECTION 17 Page 1 May 28/82 canadair chauenQer OPERATING MANUAL Power Plant - Schematic SECTION 17 Figure 1 Page 2 May 28/82 canadair OPERATING MANUAL The engine overspeed protection system The engine synchronizing system which automatically synchronizes the fan speeds of the two engines The engine thrust ratings are 7500 pounds thrust at take-off power and 7100 pounds at maximum continuous power. 2. ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM (Figures 2 and 3) Each engine has a completely self-contained fuel system which meters fuel from the aircraft1 s fuel tanks to the nozzles in the engine combustor section at the correct pressure and rate of flow. The primary components of the system include an engine-driven fuel boost pump and motive flow fuel pump, a fuel/oil heat exchanger, a main fuel pump and fuel control unit and a fuel flow divider assembly supplying metered fuel to the fuel nozzles in the combustor section. Fuel flow, temperature and pressure sensors and an overspeed shutoff valve are installed at suitable locations on the fuel system lines. The operation of the system is monitored by advisory lights and indicators mounted on the fuel control panel in the flight compartment (refer to Figure 3). A. Engine-Driven Boost Pump and Motive Flow Pump The combined engine-driven fuel boost pump and motive flow fuel pump assembly is located on the rear face of the accessory gearbox and contains two pump elements mounted side by side: a positive displacement gear pump, which generates motive flow for the primary and scavenge ejectors of the aircraft fuel system, and a centrifugal pump, which supplies fuel to the main fuel pump via the fuel heater side of the fuel/oil heat exchanger. The gear pump element contains a bypass valve which regulates the motive flow discharge pressure. B. Fuel/Oil Heat Exchanger The fuel/oil heat exchanger is mounted on the top right side of the fan casing and is divided into two sections: a fuel heater, which receives fuel from the engine boost pump, and an oil cooler supplied with fuel from the fuel control outlet. A thermal valve inside the fuel heater regulates the amount of heat transferred to the fuel and a pressure-operated bypass valve opens automatically i f the heater becomes obstructed. C. Main Fuel Pump and Unit Fuel Control The main fuel pump and fuel control unit is mounted on the front face of the accessory gearbox and consists of a fuel control unit (FCU) with an integral pump. The fuel pump, driven directly by the gearbox, boosts the system fuel pressure to a value suitable for metering to the combustion nozzles, and provides fuel servo pressure to the control devices within the FCU. SECTION 17 Page 3 May 28/82 canaaair ctnaiienQer OPERATING MANUAL CO OC LU > o o < U I |VALVE |CLOSED FILTER LOW PRESS o oc I - z o u Engine Fuel System - Figure 2 Schematic SECTION 17 Page 4 May 28/82 canadair chauencjer OPERATING MANUAL The FCU regulates high pressure compressor speed as a function of throttle lever position, fan inlet temperature (T12) and high pressure compressor discharge pressure (P3). When engine deceleration is commanded by the throttle lever, the FCU provides a constant ratio of fuel flow to high pressure compressor discharge pressure down to a preset minimum fuel flow, An additional function of the FCU is to provide a control signal to the air bleed actuator on the high pressure compressor. The actuator opens air bleed ports at the sixth stage of the high pressure compressor during starting, acceleration and low speed steady state operation of the engine to prevent compressor surging and stalling. The FCU is protected against particle contamination in the fuel by the main fuel filter assembly, located in the fuel line to the FCU inlet. The filter contains a disposable filtering element and a pressure-operated bypass valve which opens automatically if there is excessive differential pressure across the filter. At the same time, a differential pressure switch causes the amber FILTER light on the fuel control panel to come on to indicate filter bypass, (refer to Figure 3). Fuel Flowmeter Sensor An electrically operated fuel flowmeter sensor is located between the outlet of the oil cooler and the overspeed shutoff valve. The sensor is capable of measuring maximum fuel flows of 3500 pounds per hour. Fuel flow indications below 185 pounds per hour are subject to inaccuracies generated by the sensor (refer to Figure 7). In-line Fuel Filter and Overspeed Fuel Shutoff Valve An in-line fuel filter protects the fuel system components downstream from the fuel flow meter. The filter assembly is integral with the overspeed shutoff value and consists of a removeable housing and a replaceable filter element. A bypass valve, located in the filter housing, allows fuel to bypass the filter element, if required. An impending bypass indicator button on the filter housing pops out when the filter differential pressure is excessive. The overspeed fuel shutoff valve consists of a solenoid-operated valve which is energized by an electrical signal transmitted from an overspeed control unit on the fan casing. When energized, the valve closes the fuel line to the fuel flow divider to shut down the engine, and opens a bypass line to direct any pressurized fuel back to the fuel heater inlet line.

NOTE Refer to FUEL for details of aircraft fuel system control and monitoring. Fuel Control Panel - Engine Fuel System Monitoring Figure 3 SECTION 17 Page 6 Mar 01/85 canactair ctianancjar OPERATING MANUAL F. Fuel Flow Divider and Combustor Nozzles A fuel flow divider downstream of the overspeed shutoff valve meters fuel, according to a predetermined schedule to the primary and secondary ducts of the l e f t and right fuel manifolds. Each manifold houses 14 fuel nozzles connected into the engine combustion section; each fuel nozzle houses primary and secondary fuel atomizer parts. During engine start-up, fuel flows through the flow divider to the fuel manifold primary ducts and to the fuel nozzle primary atomizers. At approximately 13% N2 rpm, a valve in the flow divider begins to open, allowing fuel to flow through the fuel manifold secondary ducts, to the fuel nozzle secondary atomizers. As secondary fuel flow increases, primary fuel flow decreases until, at full secondary fuel flow, primary fuel flow is reduced by 60%. G. Ecology Drain The ecology drain consists of a drain tank and float valve assembly located on the bottom of the engine to collect the fuel which pools in the combustor section following engine shutdowns or aborted starts. An engine-mounted ejector pump automatically removes the fuel collected in the drain tank and returns i t to the inlet of the engine fuel system. 3. ENGINE OIL SYSTEM (Figures 4 and 5) Each engine is lubricated and cooled by i t s own self-contained oil system, which consists of an oil tank, a pressure delivery and scavenge pump assembly, f i l t e r s and a fuel/oil heat exchanger. Externally mounted lines and internal channels direct pressurized oil from the pressure delivery pump to the varioir lubrication points within the engine. Flight compartment instruments (refer Figure 5) monitor oil temperature and pressure; warning lights, mounted on tne oil pressure indicator, provide low oil pressure warnings. A. Oil Tanks Each oil tank has a capacity of 3.75 gallons (US) (3.12 imperial gallons, 14.2 litres) and is installed on the l e f t side of the engine fan casing. A f i l l e r neck, located on the outside of the tank, prevents over-filling. When the oil system is fully replenished, the tank contains 3.0 gallons (US) 2.5 imperial gallons, 11.4 litres) of o i l , leaving the remaining tank volume available for oil expansion and a i r removal. The oil level in the tank is checked with a dipstick attached to the f i l l e r cap, or visually through two sight gauges. B. Pressure Delivery and Scavenge Pump Assembly The pressure delivery and scavenge pump assembly is driven by the accessory gearbox and contains three pump elements: the pressure pump which provides flow of pressurized oil to the lubrication points in the engine, and two scavenge elements, the main and bearing scavenge pump, which direct scavenged oil along a common return line to the oil tank. A bypass l i n e, which incorporates a pressure regulating valve, prevents overpressure at the outlet of the pressure pump.

Rotate control clockwise to increase friction. THROTTLE SETTINGS SHUT OFF - Located at rear throttle stop. Acts as engine fuel shut-off position. LOW IDLE - Lowest forward thrust setting. When moving throttle forward from SHUT OFF or rearward from higher power settings, LOW IDLE is encountered as positive stop which is released by lifting throttle lever thumb latch. HIGH IDLE - Felt as detent as throttle is retarded. Serves as reference for pilot, indicating approach of idle power settings as throttle is retarded. Detent overcome by rearward pull of 5 to 8 pounds at throttle grip. MAX POWER - Highest forward thrust setting. Located at forward throttle lever stop. Throttle Quadrant SECTION 17 figure 6 Page 10 Mar 01/85 cacntiaadiiaeinr cjer OPERATING MANUAL C. Oil Circulation Oil flows from the bottom of the oil tank through an external line to the inlet of the pressure delivery pump. The pressurized oil is then directed to the main oil filter and through distribution lines to the engine bearings, accessories and LP spool reduction gear assembly. Scavenge oil from the forward part of the engine and the rear high pressure turbine bearing, drains into a sump on the accessory gearbox and is scavenged by the main scavenge pump. Oil from the low pressure turbine bearings, at the rear of the engine, is recovered by the No. 4 & 5 bearing scavenge pumps. The discharge from the two scavenge pumps passes to a common return line and is routed across both sections of the fuel/oil heat exchanger before returning to the oil tank. The heat exchanger maintains oil temperature within operational limits at all engine speeds and under environmental extremes. D. System Venting The combined pumping capacity of the main and number two scavenge pumps is approximately four times as large as the maximum system requirement. The extra scavenge pump capacity produces a return flow, which contains a relatively large volume of air. The air is separated from the oil by a swirl chamber inside the accessory gear box and vented to atmosphere. A line connecting the oil tank and the accessory gearbox vents the air space in the oil tanks. E. Oil Filtering The oil system contains three filters: a main oil f i l t e r on the lubricating oil supply line, and two filters located on the HP spool rear bearing and the LP turbine bearings respectively. The main oil f i l t e r incorporates a bypass valve which opens automatically to maintain the supply of lubricating oil i f the f i l t e r becomes blocked. 4. ENGINE CONTROLS (Figure 6) The engine controls consist of a throttle quadrant located on the centre pedestal and the mechanical linkages between the throttle quadrant and the engine fuel control units. Two throttle levers control forward thrust and two thrust reverse (TR) levers control the operation of the thrust reversers. Controlex push-pull cables run from the throttle quadrant under the cabin floor to the engine pylon firewalls. At the firewalls, the cables terminate in disconnect fittings connected to teleflex throttle controls which complete the cable run to control boxes mounted forward of the FCUs. Rod assemblies link the control boxes with the FCU power levers. Pressure seals are installed at the fuselage sides where the cables pass through the pressure shell.

Engine Instruments Figure 7 SECTION 17 Page 12 Mar 01/85 canadair chaiiencjer OPERATING MANUAL PSP 606 Throttle Levers Forward thrust is controlled by moving the throttle levers between throttle positions LOW IDLE, HIGH IDLE and MAX POWER. A fuel shutoff position, SHUT OFF, is located at the rear throttle stop. The throttle levers are moved forward from LOW IDLE without restriction until they encounter a positive stop at the MAX POWER position. The intermediate position, HIGH IDLE, is felt as a shallow detent as the throttles move forward through it. When the throttle levers are retarded, a detent is encountered at HIGH IDLE and a positive stop at LOW IDLE. The detent at HIGH IDLE is overcome by a rearward force of 5 to 8 pounds applied at each throttle grip. The positive stop at LOW IDLE is released by lifting the release latches under the throttle grips. The throttle levers can then be retarded without restriction to the SHUT OFF position. Reverse Thrust Levers The thrust reversers are deployed after the throttle levers have been retarded to the LOW IDLE position. Reverse thrust is controlled by moving the thrust reverse (TR) levers rearwards with the throttle levers at LOW IDLE. The TR lever locks are released by lifting the TR lever release latches allowing the levers to be pulled back to the deploy position. This action locks the throttle levers at LOW IDLE but moves the throttle control output linkages to the engine fuel control units (FCU) to a position corresponding to high idle thrust. If the TR levers are operated with the throttle levers set above LOW IDLE, feedback mechanisms, activated during thrust reverser deployment, move the throttle levers rapidly back to LOW IDLE. Interlock solenoids in the throttle quadrant prevent the TR levers from being moved to full reverse thrust during the thrust reverser deployment phase. When the thrust reversers are fully deployed, the interlocks release the TR levers and the levers can be pulled rearwards to give the desired amount of reverse thrust. The thrust reverser stow sequence is initiated when the TR levers are pushed fully forward to engage the TR lever locks. Freedom of movement is returned to the throttle levers at the same time. A throttle safety lock system prevents movement of the throttle levers above the LOW IDLE position, if the thrust reversers are not fully stowed. Throttle Friction A throttle friction device built into the system includes an adjustment control located at the base of the throttle quadrant. Turning the control clockwise increases friction on the throttle levers only, eliminating throttle creep due to control loads and vibration. Friction is reduced to a minimum by rotating the control counterclockwise.

At both test positions the power failure warning light comes on, the three left digits of each digit element on the fuel quantity indicator show 8, and the remaining digits show 0. DIMMING CONTROL KNOB Permits adjustment of ambient to output brightness ratio of displays to individual preferences. Engine Instruments Control Panel SECTION 17 Figure 8 Page 14 Mar 01/85 canadair chanenQer OPERATING MANUAL 5. ENGINE INSTRUMENTS (Figures 7 and 8) Six engine instruments monitor the following parameters: fan (Nl) rpm, inter-turbine temperature (ITT), high pressure compressor (N2) rpm, fuel flow, oil pressure and oil temperature. The indicator systems employ solid state signal processing and electronic displays to eliminate the moving parts associated with conventional dial or vertical tape instruments. The principal components of the system include six indicating instruments and an engine instrument control panel in the flight compartment, a signal data converter (SDC) in the underfloor avionics bay, and various sensing devices mounted on the engines. Dual power supplies are provided for the display and signal processing circuits within the instruments. A* Signal Data Converter The SDC serves as the power supply for the engine instrument system. Two 28-volt dc inputs, from the battery bus and the 28-volt dc essential bus, are divided within the SDC into dual lamp and signal processing power supplies. The power supplies provide voltage-regulated dc power to the display and signal processing circuits within the six instruments. The SDC provides ambient temperature compensation for the ITT indicator. The SDC also serves as the power supply for the fuel quantity indicator. Instrument power supply fuses and components of the automatic dimming control circuits are also located in the SDC. B. Engine Instruments Each instrument provides a vertical analog display of the relevant engine parameter. Left and right engine displays on each instrument are separated by a common central scale. The Ni, ITT, N2 and FUEL FLOW instruments also contain digital readout displays below the vertical scales. The vertical scales are colour-coded to indicate the normal operating, cautionary and warning ranges of each system. The vertical scales consist of coloured plastic light segments connected by a fibre-optic system to an array of miniature incandescent lamps behind the instrument display face. The electronic signal processing circuits inside the instrument cause the lamps to come on in response to variations in the signal received from the sensing device on the engine. The light generated by the incandescent lamps is transmitted through the fibre-optic system to the light segments on the display face of the instrument to produce the vertical scale reading. The signal processing circuits operate in a similar manner to produce the digital displays below the vertical scales. The three-digit readouts provide more accurate indications when compared with the readings on the vertical scales. SECTION 17 Page 15 May 28/82 OPERATING MANUAL PSP 606 In the case of the Nl, ITT, N2 and FUEL FLOW instruments, the dual lamp power sources supplied by the SDC create display redundancy in the following manner: one of the lamp power sources supplies power to one of the digital readouts and to the vertical scale on the opposite side of the instrument. The other power source powers the second digital readout and the remaining vertical scale. If one of the power sources fails, each instrument loses one digital readout and the opposite side vertical scale In the case of the OIL TEMP and OIL PRESS instruments, each power source powers alternate light segments in the vertical scales. If one of the power sources fails, alternate segments on the vertical scales remain on. Additional features of the instruments include the central scale markings illuminated by the instrument integral lighting system and blue power on lights on the bottom of each vertical scale, which come on whenever the instruments are receiving adequate power from the SDC. Automatic Dimming The engine instrument control panel, located beside the fuel control panel, contains the system auto-dimming controls. A photocell on the control panel monitors the ambient light level in the flight compartment and, through a feedback circuit, automatically adjusts the brightness of the displays to ensure optimum readability. A manual dimming control, also on the control panel, allows the ambient to output brightness ratio of the displays to be adjusted to individual preferences. The automatic and manual dimming controls are operated through separate electronic circuits so that one of the controls remains in operation if a failure of the other occurs. The test and warning functions of the engine instrument control panel are shown in Figure 8. Nl Fan Speed Indicator Compensator Aircraft 1072, 1086 and subsequent and aircraft incorporating Canadair Service Bulletin 600-0350 are fitted with an Nl fan speed indicator compensator system. The system consists of a resistor, calibrated by the manufacturer, on each engine overspeed controller and a two position T.O./NORM toggle switch on the Nl %RPM indicator. For engines that produce more than rated thrust at a given Nl rpm, the system will bias the affected Nl %RPM indicators to read up to 2% high if the T.O./NORM switch is in the T.O. position. When the T.O./NORM switch is in the NORM position, the Nl %RPM indicator shows actual Nl rpm. The system is normally used to set take-off thrust. With the T.O./NORM switch in the T.O. position, take-off thrust is obtained from both engines, without the possibility of an overthrust, if both engines are set at the Nl rpm shown on the appropriate take-off thrust curve in the Airplane Flight Manual.

ENGINE BLEED AIR The engine bleed air system consists of a bleed air manifold which connects supply and distribution ducting, electrically controlled and pneumatically | operated valves and switch/light controls on the BLEED AIR and ANTI-ICE panels in the flight compartment. The system is protected by a bleed air leak detection system which provides a warning to the flight compartment i f a leak occurs in the bleed air ducting. A. Bleed Air Manifold (Figure 9) The bleed air manifold consists of a series of ducts clamped together and secured to the fuselage structure by clamps and t ie rods behind the rear pressure bulkhead. Compressed air can be supplied to the manifold from the left and right engines, from the APU or from an external source connected to the APU fault panel and ground air connection under the left engine (refer to Section 1, AIRCRAFT GENERAL, Figure 7). The manifold is divided into four sections by the shutoff control valves shown on Figure 9 which can be opened or closed to supply or isolate the airflow to the various aircraft systems. The following aircraft services make use of pressurized air tapped from the manifold: Air conditioning and pressurization, supplied by lines from the left and right sections Wing anti-icing, supplied by lines from the lower section Footwarmers, windshield demisting and emergency pressurization, supplied by a line from the crossover section Bleed air required for engine starting, thrust reverser actuation and nose cowl anti-icing is tapped from lines between the engine supply duct and the left or right bleed air shutoff valves. Small-diameter lines direct bleed air from the manifold and the left engine to a j e t pump in the cabin pressurization control system. Two pressure transducers, one for each engine bleed air supply, are located in the bleed air manifold downstream from the respective bleed air shutoff valves. The transducers transmit pressure signals to the corresponding L and R sections of the dual pointer pressure indicator on the BLEED AIR panel. All of the bleed air system valves are electrically controlled through integral solenoids and pneumatically actuated ( i . e . the solenoids must be energized and the valves pressurized before the valve ports open).

Light goes out when the failed duct is isolated and detection element cools. Bleed Air Control Panel SECTION 17 Figure 10 Page 19 Mar 01/85 OPERATING MANUAL PSP 606 B. Operation (Figure 10) The engine bleed air controls consist of switch/lights on the BLEED AIR | panel identified, from left to right, as L EN6, ISOL and R ENG. The left and right bleed air shutoff valves are opened and closed by pressing the L ENG and R ENG switch/lights. Pressing one of the | switch/lights opens the associated shutoff valve and causes the white BLEED CLOSED light to go out. The valve is closed by pressing the switch/light a second time. Both bleed air shutoff valves open automatically when either of the START switch/lights on the ENGINE START panel is pressed during the engine start sequence. I If the L ENG switch/light is pressed in with the upper bleed air isolation valve open or closed, or if the R ENG switch/light is pressed in with the valve open, an electrical interlock automatically operates to shut the APU load control valve. When the APU is used as a pneumatic source during engine starting, the L ENG and R ENG switch/lights must be off. | The upper bleed air isolator valve is used to isolate the left and right manifold ducts. The valve is opened by pressing in the ISOL switch/light and closed by pressing the switch/light a second time. The green OPEN light comes on whenever the valve is open. I The lower isolator valve is normally left closed but can be opened, if an I anti-ice valve fails to open or an engine fails, by pressing in the ISOL I OPEN switch/light on the ANTI-ICE panel (refer to Section 14, ICE/RAIN I PROTECTION). Normally the crossover manifold is pressurized by setting the CKPT HEAT | switch on the BLEED AIR panel to NORM to open the right footwarmer/demist pressure regulator and shutoff valve. Alternatively, the left valve can be opened by setting the switch to STBY to extract bleed air directly from a line ahead of the left bleed air shutoff valve. When the switch is set to STBY, the right valve will close if open. Selection of emergency pressurization on the cabin pressurization control panel opens the left and closes the right valve regardless of the position of the CKPT HEAT switch. The left valve is located ahead of the left bleed air shutoff valve so that emergency pressurization is available regardless of any failure in the bleed air manifold or right engine. The two anti-icing valves on the manifold rear section are opened by the I three-position WING switch on the ANTI-ICE panel (refer to Section 14, ICE/RAIN PROTECTION). SECTION 17 Page 20 Mar 01/85 canadair chanenQer OPERATING MANUAL PSP 606 Bleed Air Leak Detection and Warning System (Figure 11) Because of the high temperature of the air passed through the bleed air manifold and the anti-icing ducts, a leak detection and warning system is provided. The flight crew can depressurize and isolate a defective duct. The system consists of heat-sensitive detection elements attached to the bleed air ducts and electrically connected to two bleed air leak detection control units in the underfloor avionics bay. The control units contain dual detection loop circuits for the l e f t , right and crossover sections of the bleed air manifold, and single loop circuits for the rear section and the anti-icing ducts running through the fuselage and wings. On the l e ft and right sections the detection elements are attached to the exterior of the metallic insulating material surrounding the ducts. If a leak occurs, the hot bleed air escapes through regularly spaced holes in the insulating material and flows across the detection elements to i n i t i a te a warning signal. In general, any of the detection elements initiates a warning signal i f its impedance drops below a preset value. The bleed air leak detection control units receive warning signals from the detection elements and activate the following flight compartment warning indicators: The BLEED AIR LEAK DETECT switch/light on the centre instrument panel. The red DUCT FAIL light of the switch/light flashes whenever a bleed air leak is detected by any of the detection elements. The switch/light also includes a system test function (refer to Figure 11).

The light comes on i f a leak is detected in the wing anti-icing ducts. The bleed air leak annunciator panel behind the copilot's seat. The panel is used primarily for fault isolation and contains seven latching magnetic indicators. Each indicator has two positions, a set black position for the no-fault condition and a white reset position which appears after a bleed leak has been detected. The reset position remains showing on the indicator after the associated detection element has cooled and electrical power has been removed from the aircraft. The indicators are returned to the set position by pressing the IND RESET button on the panel. With the exception of the indicators on the bleed air leak annunciator panel, all of the warning indicators go out when their associated detection elements have cooled sufficiently. Testing of the bleed air leak detection system is summarized in Figure 11.

Bleed Air Leak Warning and Testing Figure 11 SECTION 17 Page 22 Feb 12/88 canadair chauenQer OPERATING MANUAL PSP 606 STARTING AND IGNITION (Figure 12) The engine starting and ignition systems consist of a pneumatically driven air turbine starter (ATS), ignition exciter boxes and igniter plugs. The systems are controlled electrically by switch/lights in the flight compartment. The ATS, bolted to a drive pad on the accessory gearbox, transmits starting torque to the HP spool through the accessory gearbox drive shaft. The unit contains a single-stage axial turbine connected through reduction gearing and a clutch assembly to an output shaft. An electrical cut-out switch inside the ATS, actuated by a flyweight governor, and the clutch assembly operate to shut down the ATS at a preset output shaft rpm and protect it against turbine overspeed. Pressurized air, supplied through the bleed air manifold, enters the ATS through the start control valve (SCV). The dual ignition system on each engine includes two igniter plugs installed at the 5-o'clock and 7-o'clock positions in the engine combustor section. The plugs are fired by pulsed high energy dc electrical power provided by two exciter boxes, designated A and B, attached to the fan casing. Shielded high tension cables connect exciter box A to the left igniter plug and exciter box B to the right igniter plug. Electrical power for both the starting and ignition components of the system is provided by the battery bus. A. Ground Starting Electrical power for engine starting is available from three sources on the aircraft; the battery, the APU generator or the integrated drive generator (IDG) of an operating engine. External electrical power can be connected, if necessary, at the dc external power receptacle below the right engine. The bleed air manifold is capable of supplying pressurized air for engine starting from the APU, from an operating engine or from an external source connected to APU fault and air start panel under the left engine. Normally, the APU generates the required electrical and pneumatic services for starting. The IGN A and IGN B switch/lights arm the exciter boxes and igniters that are used during engine start or continuous ignition. Pressing the IGN A switch/light causes the green IGN A light to come on immediately, indicating that exciter box A and the left igniter plug of both engines are armed. Pressing the IGN B switch/light similarly amis exciter box B and the right igniter plug of both engines and causes the green IGN B light to come on. As ground starts can be accomplished using only one of the igniter plugs, IGN A and IGN B should be used alternately during successive engine starts to extend the service life of the ignition components. SECTION 17 Page 23 Mar 01/85 canactair ctiaiiencjer OPERATING MANUAL PSP 606 CONT IGN SWITCH/LIGHT When pressed, green CONT IGN light comes on and continuous ignition is supplied to both engines through IGN A and/or IGN B switch/lights. IGNITION SWITCH/LIGHTS Pressing IGN A switch/light arms exciter box A and left igniter plug of both engines for start and continuous ignition operation. Pressing IGN B switch/light arms exciter box B and right igniter plug of both engines for start and continuous ignition operation. Green IGN A and IGN B lights come on immediately when associated switch/lights are pressed. Blue ON lights come on when associated igniter plugs on one or both of the engines are in operation. START SWITCH/LIGHTS Pressing switch/light causes green START light to come on and initiates engine start sequence by energizing start and ignition relays. STOP SWITCH/LIGHT Pressing switch/light stops engine start sequence. Amber STOP light comes on 30 seconds after START switch is pressed if engine has failed to start. IN FLT START SWITCH/LIGHT When pressed in, fires both igniter plugs on associated engine and green IN FLT START light comes on. RELIGHT SWITCH Setting switch to ON fires both igniter plugs on both engines. Plugs continue to fire until switch is returned to OFF. REVERSE THRUST LEFT RIGHT 1 UNSAFE 1 TO ARM I!

The IGN A or IGN B light goes out and the associated ignition components do not operate when the START switch/light is pressed. With the bleed air manifold pressurized, and assuming that the IGN A/ON switch/light has been pressed, pressing the left START switch/light initiates the left engine starting sequence as follows (The starting sequence for the left engine is described. The starting sequence for the right engine is similar except where noted): The green START light comes on and 28-volt dc power from the battery bus is supplied to a 30-second time delay relay between the left START and STOP switch/lights. The left engine start, the bleed air and the ignition A on relays are energized through the closed contacts of the left STOP switch/light. Power is supplied through the contacts of the energized relays to operate exciter box A and the left igniter plug of the left engine, and open the following valves: the left and right bleed air shutoff valves, the bleed air isolator valve and the left SCV. The left SCV opens and the SCV position indicator switch closes latching the start and ignition relays through the electrical cut-out switch in the ATS. The left ATS begins to rotate bringing the left engine up to starting speed. At 15% N2 rpm the left throttle lever is moved from SHUT OFF to LOW IDLE. At 45 to 47% N2 rpm the electrical cut-out switch in the ATS opens, de-energizing the left engine start, the bleed air and ignition A on relays. The left START light goes out and the left and right bleed air shutoff valves, the bleed air isolator valve and the left SCV close. As engine speed overtakes the speed of the ATS output shaft, the ATS clutch assembly opens and the ATS runs down. The start sequence is completed when the ATS is disengaged from the engine. Stabilized LOW IDLE speed on the ground is 42.5 to 53.5% N2 rpm on a standard day at sea level. I f the engine fails to start within 30 seconds after the START switch/light has been pressed, the 30-second time-delay relay closes, causing the left amber STOP light to come on. Pressing the STOP switch/light de-energizes the left engine start, the bleed air and the ignition A on relays to stop the engine start sequence. When the left SCV closes, the contacts of the SCV position indicator switch open and the left START and STOP lights go out. As the lights go out the time-delay relay re-opens and the system is ready for another start attempt. SECTION 17 Page 25 Mar 01/85 canadair chauenQer OPERATING MANUAL PSP 606 The STOP light comes on to indicate a fault in the starting system or the use of improper start procedures. Allowing the start attempt to continue for any length of time after the light comes on could damage system components. In-Right Starts Depending on the N2 rpm, Mach number and altitude, the start and ignition controls can be used in one of the following ways to start an engine in flight. (1) N2 rpm above 45% If the N2 rpm has not decreased below 45%, an immediate in-flight start may be attempted by setting the throttle lever to HIGH IDLE and using either the RELIGHT switch on the centre pedestal or the appropriate IN FLT START switch/light to energize the igniter plugs. (2) Mach/Altitude within Windmilling Start Envelope If the aircraft Mach/altitude is within the windmilling start envelope and the engine is windmilling at 9 to 17% N2 rpm, the engine is started by pressing the appropriate IN FLT START switch/light and advancing the throttle lever to HIGH IDLE. Both of the igniter plugs on the engine operate and the IGN A/ON and IGN B/ON lights come on. The igniter plugs continue to operate until the IN FLT START switch/light is pressed a second time. (3) Mach/Altitude within Starter Assist Envelope When an assist from the ATS is required, the start is accomplished by pressurizing the bleed air manifold from the operating engine or from the APU and pressing the IGN A, IGN B and START switch/lights. The start sequence continues as in a normal ground start (refer to Ground Starting). Continuous Ignition (Figure 12) Continuous ignition is obtained by pressing the CONT IGN switch/light and one or both of the ignition switch/lights. Dual continuous ignition is applied on both engines by pressing the IGN A, the IGN and CONT IGN switch/lights. The green IGN A, IGN B and CONT IGN lights come on and igniter boxes A and B fire their respective igniter plugs continuously in both engines. The igniter plugs fire until the CONT IGN switch is pressed a second time. SECTION 17 Page 26 Mar 01/85 cacnhaadnaeinr tjer OPERATING MANUAL PSP 606 D. Engine Motoring (Fuel and Ignition Off) (Figure 12) The engine can be dry-motored with fuel and ignition off by pressurizing the bleed air manifold and pressing the START switch/light. The green START light comes on and the ATS rotates the engine until the STOP switch/light is pressed. The engine turns at a steady N2 rpm of 18 to 22%. Motoring may be continued for 5 minutes, followed by a 20-minute ATS cooling period. THRUST REVERSING (Figures 13, 14 and 15) Each engine is equipped with a thrust reverser to assist in aircraft braking after landing. Thrust reversing is accomplished by directing the fan exhaust air, which constitutes the greater part of the total engine thrust, forward through cascade vanes on the reverser fixed support structure. The principal mechanical components of each reverser are a translating sleeve assembly, flipper doors, blocker doors and three mechanical actuators connected by a flexshaft system to a pneumatic drive unit (PDU). The PDU contains an air motor, driven by high pressure air from the engine bleed air system. Thrust reversing controls consist of the thrust reverse levers and their associated microswitches on the throttle quadrant and arming switches on the centre pedestal. Switch/lights on the glareshield advise the flight crew of system status and act as emergency stow switches. Each reverser is protected by the following safety features: - A THRUST REVERSER EMERG STOW switch/light on the glareshield which, when pressed, bypasses the normal reverser control circuits to initiate stowage of the reverser. An automatic stow electrical circuit which initiates stowage of the reverser after any uncommanded movement of the reverser from the fully stowed position. A lock on the flexshaft system which, when engaged, limits the reverser to 0.25 inch of travel from the stowed position in the event of a system malfunction. During normal operation of the reverser, the lock pin of the lock is pneumatically withdrawn from the lock assembly to permit reverser deployment. A mechanical throttle feedback system which drives the throttle lever to just below the HIGH IDLE position whenever the reverser is deploying. This feature prevents the engine from producing more than idle thrust in the event of an inadvertent thrust reverser deployment. A mechanical interlock in the throttle quadrant which prevents full reverse thrust from being selected on the thrust reverse lever unless the throttle lever is in the LOW IDLE position. Conversely, the interlock prevents operation of the throttle lever until the reverse lever is returned fully forward to the stow position.

A throttle safety lock consisting of a solenoid and a locking lever on the centre pedestal just ahead of the throttle quadrant (refer to Figure 6). The locking lever prevents the associated throttle lever from being moved beyond the HIGH IDLE position whenever the thrust reverser moves from the stowed position and a weight-off-wheels condition exists. A. Operation Except for test purposes, the thrust reversers are operated together. For ease of description, the operation of one thrust reverser is described; the operation of the other is similar. The left reverser controls are armed prior to deployment by pressing the left reverse thrust ARMED switch/light on the centre pedestal. When pressed, the switch/light supplies 28-volt dc power to the contacts of a thrust reverser weight-on-wheels relay. After landing, reverse thrust is selected by retarding the throttle lever to LOW IDLE and pulling the thrust reverse lever to the rear to operate the deploy switch in the throttle quadrant. Closure of the deploy switch contacts, together with a signal from the landing gear control unit, energizes the left weight-on-wheels relay. On aircraft 1072, 1086 and subsequent and aircraft incorporating Canadair Service Bulletin 600-0334, the weight-on-wheels relay is also energized if wheel spin-up equivalent to a speed of 65 knots or more is detected by the anti-skid control unit. Power from the closed contacts of the weight-on-wheels relay is supplied to the arming and deploy solenoid valves to initiate thrust reverser deployment as follows: Bleed air enters the secondary lock actuator and drives the secondary lock pin to the unlocked position. Movement of the locking pin directs arming air to the directional valve actuator and moves the feedback mechanism to the deploy position. Simultaneously, arming air enters and opens the PDU inlet valve. As the PDU inlet valve opens, the PDU brake actuator is pressurized, releasing the PDU air motor brake. The unlocked air motor starts to rotate in the deploy direction. The output from the PDU air motor is transmitted through the SPUR gearbox and the flexshaft system to the three mechanical actuators on the translating sleeve. The actuators drive the translating sleeve rearward to the fully deployed position.

Light is energized through three sources: —Stow switch on reverser assembly. —Air motor brake position switch. —Unlock switch on secondary lock assembly. Green REVERSE THRUST light comes on when reverser reaches fully deployed position and goes out immediately when reverser moves from deployed position. Light is energized through deploy switch on reverser assembly. c== THRUST REVERSER EMERG STOW REVERSE UNLOCKED REVERSE THRUST PUSH LEFT REVERSE UNLOCKED o REVERSETHRUST PUSH RIGHT Thrust Reversing Arming and Indicating Figure 15 SECTION 17 Page 31 Mar 01/85 OPERATING MANUAL PSP 606 Near the fully deployed position, the deployed microswitch on the reverser closes. When closed the switch causes the green REVERSE THRUST light on the glareshield to come on and energizes the throttle interlock solenoid to permit movement of the thrust reverse lever beyond the deploy position. Simultaneously, the PDU feedback mechanism acts to move the PDU directional valve to the closed position, progressively slowing the air motor. When the reverser is fully deployed, the brake deploy dump valve opens, resetting the air motor brake and locking the reverser. The blocker doors, pivoted into position by the rearward motion of the translating sleeve, close off the fan exhaust and redirect the fan thrust forward through the exposed cascade vanes. Normally 2.0 seconds are required for the reverser to reach the fully deployed position after the thrust reverse lever is set to the deploy position. The reverser is returned to the stowed position by pushing the thrust reverse lever fully forward to open the deploy switch contacts on the throttle quadrant. Power remains applied to the arming solenoid valve through the stowed switch on the reverser assembly but the deploy solenoid is de-energized shutting off the supply of air to the directional valve actuator. Spring force returns the directional valve actuator to the stow position and the brake stow dump valve closes to release the PDU air motor brake. The PDU air motor rotates in the stow direction driving the thrust reverser assembly, via the flexshaft system and the translating sleeve actuators, toward the stowed position. As the reverser approaches the stow stops, the PDU feedback mechanism closes the PDU directional valve to stop the air motor. At the same time, the stowed switch on the reverser assembly opens removing power from the arming solenoid valve. Air pressure trapped in the air motor and in the air motor brake actuator rapidly decreases, allowing the brake to reset as the reverser assembly contacts the stowed stops. The stow cycle is normally completed 4.0 seconds after the thrust reverse levers are returned to the stow position. ENGINE VIBRATION MONITORING SYSTEM (Figure 16) The engine vibration monitoring (EVM) system provides the flight crew with a continuous indication of the vibration level of each engine. The main components of the system include single transducers mounted on the rear of the high pressure compressor casing of each engine, a signal conditioner and an indicator panel located on the pilot!s side console. The indicator panel contains a dual-quadrant indicator, which gives a readout of vibration levels, in inches per second, for each engine and a caution switch/light, which comes on when a predetermined vibration level on one or both engines is exceeded. The switch/light is pressed in to test the operation of the dual indicator and the caution legend.

Engine Vibration Monitor Panel Figure 16 SECTION 17 Page 33 Mar 01/85 cacnhaaanaeinr qer OPERATING MANUAL PSP 606 Each transducer contains a crystalline ceramic element which generates an electrical signal proportional to the intensity of engine vibration. The signals generated by the transducers are transmitted through shielded cables to a signal conditioner, which converts them into analog dc voltages, suitable for transmission to the EVM indicator. The signal conditioner contains an alarm circuit which causes the amber HIGH VIB caution light on the EVM indicator panel to come on if the vibration level of either engine exceeds 1.2 inches per second for a period greater than 3 seconds. The 3-second delay in the alarm signal to the EVM indicator is sufficient to prevent spurious warnings caused by high transient engine vibrations. The operation of the signal conditioner and the EVM indicator is tested by pressing the HIGH VIB indicator switch/light on the EVM indicator panel. The indicator pointers move to show a left and right vibration level of 2.0 inches per second and, if the indicator switch is depressed for at least 3 seconds, the amber HIGH VIB caution light comes on. This test function of the system does not test the operation of the engine-mounted transducers or check the electrical continuity of the signal transmission cables. The proper operation of these components is verified by noting the vibration readings after engine start. . OVERSPEED PROTECTION (Figure 17) The overspeed protection system automatically initiates engine shutdown if the low pressure turbine overspeeds. Two magnetic speed sensors, located between the low pressure turbine wheels, generate pulsed electrical signals, whose frequencies are proportional to turbine speed, and transmit them to an overspeed control unit on the fan casing. If the signal frequency from both of the sensors exceeds a preset limit, the control unit energizes the solenoid of an overspeed fuel shutoff valve, to shut down the engine (refer to ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM). In addition, the control unit causes an overspeed warning light in the flight compartment to come on, and activates an override relay to disarm the overspeed protection system of the operating engine. If desired, the overspeed protection system can be reset after an overspeed shutdown by pressing the overspeed warning light of the inoperative engine. Pressing the light causes it to go out and opens the overspeed fuel shutoff valve. Overspeed protection for both engines is restored after the throttle of the previously shutdown engine is moved forward from the SHUT OFF position. Overspeed system electrical circuits are wired through switches on the throttle quadrant and a weight-on-wheels relay. In general, the overspeed protection system on one engine becomes inoperative in the air: If an overspeed shutdown occurs on the opposite engine If the throttle on the opposite engine is moved to SHUT OFF SECTION 17 Page 34 Mar 01/85 cacnhaadnaeinr tjer OPERATING MANUAL PSP 606 o OVERSPEED o © S\KF © ^ 1 j | ENGINE k i RH I OVERSPEED ^ > ^v _^\j © © L—a—^^^ o OVERSPEED WARNING LIGHTS (RED) L ENG or R ENG light comes on to indicate overspeed shutdown of left or right engine. Light remains on until system is reset. While airborne, the overspeed protection system of one engine is de-energized: - Following overspeed shutdown of the opposite engine. - If the throttle of the opposite engine is returned to the SHUT OFF position. During single engine operation on the ground, overspeed protection system of operating engine remains energized regardless of throttle setting of inoperative engine. PRESS TO RESET Following overspeed shutdown, system is reset by pressing overspeed warning light. - Light goes out. - Overspeed fuel shutoff valve opens. - Overspeed protection is re-established for both engines when the throttle of the previously shut down engine is moved from the SHUT OFF position. OVERSPEED TEST Three-position self-locking toggle switch. Setting switch to LH or RH position allows left or right overspeed control unit to simulate low pressure turbine overspeed 65% Nl rpm. Proper operation of system is indicated by engine shutdown and appropriate warning light coming on. Overspeed Protection System SECTION 17 figure 17 Page 35 Mar 01/85 canaetair challenger OPERATING MANUAL PSP 606 During single engine operation on the ground, the action of the weight-on-wheels relay ensures that overspeed protection remains available on the operating engine regardless of the other engine's throttle position. The test switch with LH and RH test positions tests the operation of the overspeed system. Setting the switch to one of the test positions lowers the trip reference of the overspeed control unit on the selected engine. If the Nl rpm of the test engine is at or above 65%, the engine shuts down in the manner described above. Electrical power for the overspeed system is provided by the battery bus. 1. ENGINE SYNCHRONIZER SYSTEM (If installed) The engine synchronizer system allows the flight crew to synchronize the left and right engine fan (Nl) speeds. The system is designed to compare the fan speeds of both engines with one another and automatically reduce or increase the right engine fan speed to match that of the left. The control panel, ENGINE SYNC, is located on the centre instrument panel and is connected electrically to a control unit in the underfloor avionics bay. The control unit monitors Nl signals from each engine to control the operation of an electrically powered actuator on the right engine. The actuator adjusts the right engine fuel control unit (FCU) power lever through an operating range of 6 degrees to maintain the required fan speed. A. Operation (Figure 18) The control panel consists of two indicator lights, a SYNC INOP light and a toggle switch with three positions: OFF, SET and ENGAGE. The indicator lights come on, directing the pilot to advance or retard the right engine throttle lever. The three toggle switch positions perform the following functions: OFF - Electrical power is removed from the system SET - The system is energized and the right engine actuator is set to the neutral (rig) position. If the fan speeds are not synchronized to within 1.0£ of each other, one of the indicator lights comes on to command an increase or decrease in right Nl speed. If the indicator light showing an upward pointing arrow comes on, the right throttle lever must be moved forward to gain synchronization. If the light with the downward pointing arrow is on, the right throttle lever must be retarded. Each light goes out when the right engine Nl speed in within 1% of the left engine Nl. ENGAGE - The system is put into automatic operation and the left engine Nl is used as a reference while the right engine FCU power lever angle is increased or decreased to obtain engine synchronization. Automatic synchronization is not possible when one or both of the engines are operating at an Nl speed below 38£ or if the left engine is operating at an Nl speed 12.5X above or below that of the right engine. In either of these cases, the SYNC INOP light comes on if ENGAGE is selected. SECTION 17 Page 36 Mar 01/85 cacnhaadiiaeinr qer OPERATING MANUAL PSP 606 SYSTEM FAULT WARNING With ENGAGE selected SYNC INOP light comes on to indicate any of the following system faults: - Actuator failure - Loss of either input signal or if either engine speed drops below 38 % N1 - If engine speed difference is greater than 12.5 % N1 - If system is unable to synchronize fan speeds within 20 seconds OENGINE SYNC ENGAGE |SYNC| INOP SET INDICATOR LIGHTS When system is in SET mode, one of the two lights comes on directing the pilot to advance or retard the right engine throttle.

COWLINGS (Figure 19) The external cowling sections surround the engine, forming a completely enclosed engine nacelle. In addition, internal cowlings which consist of fan duct and core cowl panels, encase the engine core. The external cowlings consist of a nose cowl, access cowl doors, fixed apron panels and the thrust reverser translating sleeve. The interior cowlings consist of a four-segment core cowl and a three-segment fan duct. A. Exterior Cowlings (1) Nose Cowl The nose cowl provides the engine fan with a smooth and unrestricted airflow and contains the cowling anti-icing ducting. The nose cowl is bolted to the front flange of the engine fan section. (2) Access Cowl Doors Two access cowl doors enclose the engine sections between the trailing edge of the nose cowl and the leading edge of the thrust reverser translating sleeve. The doors are secured closed by three quickrelease latches along the outboard split line. For servicing, the upper and lower access cowl doors can be held in the open position by support rod assemblies which are fixed to the doors at one end and attached to engine brackets at the other end.

The rear edges are bolted to the forward portion of the thrust reverser and provide full support for the reverser assembly. The two removeable fan duct panels are secured to the fan duct casing attachment ring and the thrust reverser forward flange by quick release latches. All fan duct split lines are sealed against air leakage. (2) Core Cowls Four core cowls, three of which are removable, encase the engine between the fan section and the primary exhaust nozzle and form the inner surface of the fan duct. The fixed core cowl, on the inboard side of the engine, provides for the transit of lines from the service pylon. Intake ducts located just to the rear of each cowl leading edge admit cooling fan air into the engine core area. SECTION 17 Page 40 Mar 01/85 cacntiaaduaeinr cjer OPERATING MANUAL PSP 606 13. ENGINE ANTI-ICING (Figure 20) The engine incorporates the following anti-icing provisions: The rotating fan spinner is heated continously by engine lubricating oil. The splitter ring, which separates the fan and internal airflows, and the hollow low pressure compressor inlet vanes are heated by bleed air tapped from the sixth stage of the high pressure compressor. A. Fan Spinner Anti-Icing The hot oil anti-icing of the fan spinner forms an integral part of the engine oil system and operates continuously, without control from the flight compartment, whenever the engine is running. The flow of oil through the spinner assembly prevents the build-up of ice under the most extreme icing conditions. B. Splitter Ring and Inlet Vane Anti-Icing The splitter ring and inlet vane anti-icing components include an electrically operated anti-icing valve and pressure switch, located on the lower right side of the high pressure compressor casing, and pneumatic tubing connecting the valve and pressure switch assembly to the engine fan section. Internal ducts within the fan section route the anti-icing bleed air to the splitter ring and the hollow inlet vanes. The left and right systems are controlled by the same switch/lights on the anti-ice control panel, designated ENGINES, LEFT and RIGHT, which control the engine air intake anti-icing system (refer to SECTION 14, ICE/RAIN PROTECTION). The engine anti-icing valve contains a solenoid which, when energized, holds the valve closed. Pressing the appropriate ENGINES switch/light on the anti-ice control panel de-energizes the solenoid, causing the valve to open. This design feature ensures that, in the event of an electrical power failure, the valve assumes the open position until electrical power is restored. 14. POWER PLANT DRAIN, VENT AND ECOLOGY SYSTEMS A. Drains and Vents The power plant drain and vent system eliminates the accumulation of fluids and vapours from the nacelle, the engine accessories and the gearbox. Each drain and vent line is routed from an engine component to a common drain manifold which vents into a drain mast in the lower access cowl door. A vent is also provided between the ecology tank and the drain manifold.

LP COMPRESSOR INLET GUIDE VANES FAN SPINNER SPLITTER RING AND INLET VANE ANTI-ICING Bleed air from sixth stage of HP compressor flows through hollow inlet guide vanes. Bleed air exits through perforations on trailing edge of vanes. Heat is conducted from guide vanes to splitter ring assembly. Bleed air is controlled from ANTI-ICE panel in flight compartment. FAN SPINNER ANTI-ICING Hot lubricating oil from LP spool reduction gearbox leaves duct at centre of spool and sprays against nose of spinner assembly. Heat is conducted over remainder of spinner surface to provide full anti-icing protection. System operates whenever engine is running. EFFECTIVITY jjj Panel on A/C incorporating SB 600-0495.

Ecology System The ecology system prevents the dumping of fuel overboard during engine shutdown or aborted starts* Residual fuel from the combustion chamber drain is collected in an engine-mounted tank. At the next engine run an ecology ejector pump removes the collected fuel and returns it to the engine fuel inlet. The ecology tank capacity allows one normal shutdown and two wet start attempts without dumping fuel. SECTION 17 Page 43 Mar 01/85
