ENGINE GENERAL

GENERAL description of FADEC for NEO is


similar to CEO.
Following is an additional statement for NEO:

 The FADEC controls the IFPC (Integrated Fuel Pump


and Control) that regulates fuel flow to the engine.
ARCHITECTURE

Following amendments
are made in system
architecture:

• Inputs from BMC, FCU


and ANTI-ICE engine
feed is associated
with Engine Interface
Unit (EIU) along with
ZONE CONT (ACSC
for CEOs) &LGCIU.

• The FADEC controls


the IFPC (Integrated
Fuel Pump and
Control) that
regulates fuel flow to
the engine.
Following documentary changes regarding FADEC system
functions are identified for NEO:
 Control of gas generator:
Control of fuel and oil flow (for CEOs it is control of fuel flow)

 Protection against engine exceeding limits


During auto-start on ground only, protection against EGT over
limit.( for CEOs it is monitoring of EGT during engine start)

 Transmission of engine parameters and engine


monitoring information to cockpit indicators
Primary and secondary engine parameters (for CEOs it is only
Primary engine parameters)
Vibration monitoring (This is unique of NEO)

 Protection against engine stall & Protection against


Thrust Control Malfunction (This is unique of NEO)
In the event of surge detection, the FADEC will control the
stator vanes to recover from the engine stall condition.
(For CEOs, it is Protection against fan flutter)
The FADEC has the following three idle modes
on NEO :

Minimum idle
Approach idle
Reverse idle

For CEO, these are:


Modulated idle
Approach idle
Reverse idle
On NEO :

You will see minimum idle changing to


Approach Idle:
When Gears are down in CONFIG 2, or
When you select CONFIG 3 even with gears up.

For CEO, these are:


Approach idle only a function of FLAPS lever
not at zero.
If the ENG MODE selector is set to NORM position before engine
start, FADEC supply remains for 5 minutes. (For CEOs, FADEC
system is cut off immediately.)
 A FADEC dedicated to each engine controls
thrust.

 The pilot uses the thrust levers to set the


thrust in manual mode, and the FMGS sets
the thrust in automatic mode.

 The FADEC prevents the thrust from


exceeding the limit for the thrust lever
position in both manual and automatic
modes.
• The thrust can be controlled manually (pilot) or automatically (auto-pilot)

 To monitor the engines, a thrust control parameter is necessary : this


parameter should be :
 function of the thrust
 easily measurable

• IAE engines:
Thrust control parameter: EPR
(Engine Pressure Ratio).

P’ P

EPR = P’ / P
 The FADEC computes the thrust rating limit for
each thrust lever position, as shown below.
 If the thrust lever is set in a detent, the FADEC
selects the rating limit corresponding to this
detent.
 If the thrust lever is set between two detents,
the FADEC selects the rating limit corresponding
to the higher detent.
 The engines are in the manual mode provided
the A/THR function is not armed or armed and
not active (thrust lever not in the A/THR
operating range and no alpha floor).
 In these conditions, each engine is controlled by
the position of its thrust lever.
 The pilot controls thrust by moving the thrust
lever between the IDLE and TOGA positions. Each
position of the thrust lever within these limits
corresponds to an N1.
 When the thrust lever is in a detent, the
corresponding N1 is equal to the N1 rating limit
computed by the FADEC for that engine.
 In the autothrust mode (A/THR function active), the FMGC
computes the thrust which is limited to the value
corresponding to the thrust lever position (unless the alpha-
floor mode is activated).
Position of the thrust lever within these limits
corresponds to an N1 (For CEO it is EPR).

When the thrust lever is in a detent, the


corresponding N1 is equal to the N1 rating
limit computed by the FADEC for that engine
(For CEO its EPR) .
This logic is designed for NEOs: The FADEC provides a protection in the case of
uncontrollable high thrust during critical flight phases: the Thrust Control
Malfunction (TCM) protection.
The TCM protection is active on ground and during the takeoff and the
approach phases.
TCM protection logic enables the following:
 Detection of the Thrust Control Malfunction

 Reaction to the detected Thrust Control Malfunction

A Thrust Control Malfunction is detected either:


 When actual N1 exceeds the commanded N1 value increased by 3 %, or
 When actual N1 exceeds the maximum possible N1 value for takeoff.
When a Thrust Control Malfunction is detected, the TCM protection
function performs the following:
 Shuts down the engine on ground if thrust levers are at idle or in reverse
position, or
 Reduces the fuel flow during flare and approach phases.

 {you may face loss of thrust during approach or shutdown during landing roll}
• For NEO, the FADEC controls the fuel supply via the Integrated Fuel Pump
and Control (IFPC). [For CEOs, it’s via the Fuel Metering Unit (FMU)]
• Also the fuel system consists of 18 fuel injectors (20 for CEOs) along
with other constituents.
 The Integrated Fuel Pump and Control combines both the fuel
pump and fuel control functions into a single unit, thereby
reducing the number of components installed on the Main
Gearbox (MGB).
 The IFPC serves the dual function of providing pressurized and
metered fuel to the engine to support combustion and
pressurized fuel for the engine component actuators. The
FADEC controls the Fuel Metering Functions of the IFPC
which transmits its orders through torque motors/servo valves.
[CEOs have separate FUEL PUMP & FUEL METERING UNIT]
 Cooling of IDG oil and engine oil are accomplished
respectively by the Integrated Drive Generator / Fuel
oil heat exchanger (IDG FOHE) and by the main
Fuel/Oil heat exchanger.

 [In CEOs, Cooling of IDG oil and engine oil are


accomplished respectively by the IDG cooler and by
the Fuel/Oil heat exchanger.]
Oil system contain
following extra
elements over that
of CEOs:

 oil pump for HP


and LP rotors

 oil pump for


FDGS.
COOLING
Under FADEC control as a function of N2 and altitude, cooling air is taken
from the 3rd, 6th or 8th stage stage (10th Stage for CEOs) of the HPC to cool
the HPT stage blade.

ENGINE STABILITY
Two air bleed systems [station 2.5 of the LPC and stages 3 and 8 (stages 7th
and 10th FOR CEOs) provide greater compressor stability in the different
flight phases.
The 3rd and 8th stage bleed valves are normally open for most engine
operation but fully closed for engine starting. Their failsafe position is
closed. Theses valves are controlled by FADEC through IPFC.

[For CEOs, The 7th and 10th stage bleed valves are normally closed for most
engine operation but fully open for engine starting. Their failsafe position is
open. Theses valves are controlled by FADEC through FMU.]
Following documentary excerpt has been added for NEOs:

 AUTO RESTOW FUNCTION (ON GROUND ONLY)


The FADEC will automatically command the reverse thrust to stow, if
the thrust reversers are not
commanded to deploy and :
 N2 is greater than 50 % , or
 1 lock failed open

Following documentary excerpt are not applicable for NEOs:


 IDLE PROTECTION
The FADEC will automatically select the thrust to idle :
In case of inadvertent thrust reverser stowage (while thrust reversers
are commanded deployed), as soon as the thrust reverser feedback
position is below 78 % deployed (thrust decreasing toward idle
between 90 % and 78 %).
As opposed to CEOs, in case of NEOs FADEC does not take the position of
the ENG 1(2) ANTI ICE pb-sw to control the ignition and starting system.

IGNITION FOR STARTING

IGNITION FOR STARTING ON THE GROUND

 Automatic start: • The ignition comes on automatically when N2 reaches


18 % and cuts off automatically when N2 reaches 55 %. [For CEOs, the
ignition comes on automatically after the dry crank sequence, and cuts
off automatically when N2 reaches 43 %.]
 Manual start: Both igniters are cut off when N2 reaches approximately
55 %.

[For CEOs, Both igniters are cut off when N2 reaches 43 %.]
As opposed to CEOs, in case of NEOs FADEC does not take the position of
the ENG 1(2) ANTI ICE pb-sw to control the ignition system.

Otherwise not much explained in the FCOMs..


For NEOs, ENG N1 MODE 1 (2) pb-sw

ENGINE ANTI-ICE - DESCRIPTION
• Each engine has its own anti-ice system, with an independent hot
bleed air source. The bleed air is extracted from the High Pressure
Compressor to anti-ice the engine air inlet.
• Two Pressure Regulated & Shut off Valves (PRSOV) enable the flow
of bleed air to the engines air intake inlet. Each valve is electrically
controlled and pneumatically actuated.
• Both PRSOVs are regulating in cascade when the engine anti-ice is
on. Only one PRSOV is performing the shut off function when the
engine anti-ice is off.
• A continuous monitoring of the system enables the detection of
bleed air duct leak or burst and deactivation of the system.
• In the case of a detected burst duct, both valves are commanded
closed.
• In the case of an electrical failure, both PRSOVs are failed open
providing the air inlet with enough pressure for the anti-ice
function.

CEOs: Air is supplied through a two-position (open and closed) valve


that the flight crew controls with two pushbuttons, one for each
engine.

(For CEOs it is 18728 / 18692 kgs)
Following note is appended as per system criteria of NEOs:
 For low fuel quantities, up to 7 tons, a fluctuation of the inner
tank fuel quantity indications occurs after takeoff. Due to
acceleration and high pitch angle, the fuel moves in the tank and
the FOB indication will reduce for 2 minutes, then increase and
come back to accurate values about 6 minutes later during the
climb.
 The maximum fluctuation may reach 400kg. The EFOB
indication may turn amber on the MCDU during this phase. For
higher fuel loads, the phenomenon does not occur. In case of go-
around, the fluctuation will not be more than 300kg.
The Total Fuel Flow is displayed in kg/mn.

Following excerpt has been added as AUTOLAND WARNING LIGHT
FEATURE for NEOs:

The FMGS detects an untimely Flare condition.


The FMGS detects an untimely Flare condition when one radio altimeter is
inoperative, and the time between LAND engagement (measured radio height is
below 400 ft) and FLARE condition (measured radio height is below 50 ft) is
lower than 2 s.

PARKING – (PRO-NOR-SOP-22 P ¼)
Following caution has been appended for NEOs:

During parking, with brakes temperature above 200 °C, brakes vibrations
may be experienced.
In the case of severe vibrations, the flight crew should stop the aircraft
and request towing.
The flight crew must report any brakes vibrations phenomenon in the
logbook.

50 kt, if the aircraft nose is oriented into the wind, or
the cargo door is on the leeward side).
 The cargo door must be closed, before the wind speed
exceeds 65 kt.
Note: The maximum
crosswind values given
in the above table are
recommended values
based on computations.
SPEED LIMITATIONS
MAXIMUM DESIGN MANOEUVERING SPEED VA
Note: This limitation only applies in alternate or direct flight control laws.
 If alternate or direct law is active:
 Full ailerons and rudder application should be confined to speeds below VA
 Manoeuvres involving angle of attack near stall should be confined to speeds below VA.

CAUTION
Rapid and large
alternating control
inputs, especially in
combination with
large changes in
pitch, roll or yaw
(e.g. large sideslip
angles) may result in
structural failures at
any speed, even
below VA.

Tailwind : 5 kt (10kt for CEOs)
Crosswind : 15 kt (20kt w/o auto roll out & 15kts with auto roll out for CEOs)

Note: Wind limitation is based on the surface wind reported by ATC. If the
wind displayed on ND exceeds the above-noted autoland limitations, but the
tower reports a surface wind within the limitations, then the autopilot can
remain engaged. If the tower reports a surface wind beyond limitations, only
CAT I automatic approach without autoland can be performed.
