737 Engines And APU

The correct answer is "Idle and cutoff." The start levers positions are typically set to idle and cutoff when the aircraft is on the ground and not in use. The idle position allows for the engines to run at a low power setting, while the cutoff position completely shuts off the fuel flow to the engines. This configuration ensures safety and prevents accidental engine starts when the aircraft is not in operation.

The correct answer is that the ignition Select switch in the IGN R position selects the right igniter for use on both engines. This means that when the switch is in this position, the right igniter will be activated and used for both engines.

The correct answer is "An impending fuel filter bypass due to a contaminated filter." This means that the amber light indicates that there is a potential issue with the fuel filter, specifically that it may become bypassed due to contamination. This could lead to impurities entering the engine, causing potential damage or performance issues.

The correct answer is "Low". In a gas turbine engine, N1 refers to the rotational speed of the low-pressure compressor. It is an important parameter in engine performance and is often displayed as a primary indication on the engine instruments. Therefore, N1 is the low-pressure compressor and is a primary engine indication.

In EEC hard alternate mode, the thrust is equal to or greater than normal mode thrust for the same lever position. This means that when the lever is in the same position, the thrust output in EEC hard alternate mode will be the same or higher than in normal mode.

The reverse video displayed on the Engine Vibration readout indicates a high engine vibration level. This means that the engine is experiencing excessive vibrations, which can be a cause for concern as it may indicate a potential issue or malfunction in the engine. It is important to address and investigate high engine vibrations to ensure the safety and proper functioning of the engine.

An amber REV indicates that the thrust reverser sleeve is in transit or not in the commanded position. This means that the sleeve is currently moving or not in the position it is supposed to be in. On the other hand, a green REV indicates that the thrust reverser sleeve is deployed. This means that the sleeve is in the commanded position and is providing maximum reverse thrust.

After the engine has been shut down, a red box around the EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) readout indicates that an in-flight exceedance has occurred. This means that during the flight, the EGT level exceeded the normal or recommended range. This could be a cause for concern as it may indicate a potential issue with the engine or its performance.

The correct answer is "High". In an aircraft engine, N2 refers to the rotational speed of the high-pressure compressor. It is a secondary engine indication that provides information about the high-pressure compressor's performance. A high N2 pressure indicates that the compressor is operating at a high speed, which is desirable for efficient engine performance.

The correct answer is "Reduce takeoff thrust." The thrust mode display indicates R-TO (Green), which stands for Reduced Takeoff. This mode is active when the aircraft is using reduced thrust for takeoff, typically achieved by setting lower engine power settings or using assumed temperature methods.

Positioning an engine Start Lever to Cutoff closes the respective spar and engine fuel shutoff valves. When the engine Start Lever is moved to the Cutoff position, it cuts off the fuel supply to both the spar and engine of the respective engine. This is an important safety measure to prevent fuel flow to the engine and spar in case of emergencies or during maintenance procedures.

After the APU reaches 95% RPM, if the Low Oil Pressure (amber) light is still illuminated, it indicates that there is a problem with the oil pressure in the APU. In response to this issue, the APU initiates an automatic shutdown as a safety measure to prevent any damage or failure. The automatic shutdown helps to protect the APU and maintain its operational efficiency. Therefore, the correct answer is that the APU initiates an automatic shutdown.

When the N2 drops below 50% and the start lever is in Idle, it causes the Eng Fail Alert (amber) on the EGT indicator. This indicates that there is a problem with the engine, specifically with the N2 speed. The N2 speed dropping below 50% while the start lever is in Idle suggests that there may be an issue with the engine control system or the engine itself, which triggers the alert.

During normal APU operations, the APU will automatically shutdown for all of the following lights except "Maint" (Maintenance). This means that if any of the other lights, such as "Fault," "Overspeed," or "Low Oil Pressure," are illuminated, the APU will automatically shut down. However, if the "Maint" light is on, it indicates that maintenance is required but it does not trigger an automatic shutdown of the APU.

When the engine start switch is set to FLT, it provides ignition to both igniters with the engine start lever idle. This means that both igniters will receive the necessary spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the engine.

The Electronic Engine Control (EEC) is responsible for comparing the commanded N1 (rotational speed of the engine) to the actual N1 and making adjustments to the fuel flow in order to achieve the commanded N1. This ensures that the engine operates at the desired speed and maintains optimal performance. The EEC continuously monitors and regulates various engine parameters to ensure efficient and reliable engine operation.

Reverse thrust cannot be selected unless the forward thrust lever is at Idle.

The correct answer is "Illuminated dim which indicates the valves are closed." During a normal preflight power ON, the ENG Valve Closed lights and Spar Valve Closed lights should be illuminated dim, which indicates that the valves are closed.

The electronic engine control (EEC) in either normal or Alternate mode does not provide protection against EGT redline. EGT stands for Exhaust Gas Temperature, and the redline refers to the maximum temperature limit that should not be exceeded. The EEC is responsible for monitoring and controlling various engine parameters, but in this case, it does not have a specific mechanism to prevent the engine from reaching or exceeding the EGT redline.

In normal mode, the electronic engine control (EEC) uses the sensed flight conditions and the bleed air demand to calculate the N1 thrust ratings. The sensed flight conditions refer to the data collected from various sensors on the aircraft, such as airspeed, altitude, and temperature, which are used to determine the current flight conditions. The bleed air demand refers to the amount of air being extracted from the engine to power other aircraft systems, such as air conditioning and pressurization. By considering both the flight conditions and the bleed air demand, the EEC can accurately calculate the appropriate N1 thrust ratings for the engine.

When the reverser (amber) light on the AFT overhead panel stays illuminated for more than 12 seconds, it indicates a malfunction. This means that there is an issue with the thrust reverser system, which is not functioning properly. The other options, such as the reverser being fully deployed or the sleeves being unlocked, do not align with the given information about the reverser light staying on for an extended period of time. Therefore, the most appropriate explanation is that the reverser has a malfunction.

If an Engine control (amber) light illuminates, it indicates that there is a non-dispatchable fault in the engine control. This means that there is a problem with the engine control system that cannot be resolved or fixed before the aircraft is dispatched for a flight. It is necessary to address this fault before the aircraft can be cleared for operation.

The steady Start Valve Open (amber) light indicates that the Start Valve is open and supplying air to the starter.

The engine start switch in CONT provides ignition to both igniters when N2 is below Idle.

If the engine oil pressure drops below redline during takeoff roll (>80kts), the indication will be a steady Low Oil Pressure (amber) light.

When both the ON (white) and ALTN (amber) displays of an engine EEC switch are illuminated, it indicates that the engine is operating in either soft or hard alternate mode. This means that there is a problem with the engine's primary control system, and the alternate control system has taken over to ensure the engine's continued operation. The specific mode (soft or hard) would depend on the severity of the issue and the capabilities of the alternate control system.
