• removes igniter power
• unlocks the engine fire switch
What does the EEC do when the FUEL CONTROL switch is in RUN?
opens the engine fuel valve and turns the igniters on
What is the function of the spar fuel valve in the FUEL CONTROL switch?
opens when the switch is in RUN position
True or False: The FUEL CONTROL switch allows for unlocking the engine fire switch in the RUN position.
False
What does the FUEL CONTROL switch do when it is switched to START?
closes the engine fuel valve and the spar fuel valve if applicable
What does the NORM position of the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) Mode Switch select?
