DURING START SEQUENCE, THE CROSS START SYSTEM:
- A.
Makes use of the opposite DC GEN to start.
- B.
Makes use of the MAIN BAT until 10% NH, THEN USES main bat AND OPPOSITE DC GEN (on ground only)
- C.
Makes use of the MAIN BAT until 10% NH.
Correct Answer
B. Makes use of the MAIN BAT until 10% NH, THEN USES main bat AND OPPOSITE DC GEN (on ground only)Explanation
The correct answer is "Makes use of the MAIN BAT until 10% NH, THEN USES main bat AND OPPOSITE DC GEN (on ground only)". This means that during the start sequence, the cross start system initially relies on the main battery (MAIN BAT) until the engine reaches 10% NH (N1 high). After reaching this threshold, the system switches to using both the main battery and the opposite DC generator (OPPOSITE DC GEN) for starting the engine. However, this method of starting the engine using both the main battery and the opposite DC generator is only applicable when the aircraft is on the ground.Rate this question:
