What does the EEC do when the reverse thrust levers are raised?
The EEC opens the reverser isolation valve.
176
Under what condition does the EEC inhibit reverser isolation valve actuation?
Unless the airplane is on the ground with the engine running.
177
What is the purpose of the physical interlock located in the aisle stand?
To prevent movement of the reverse thrust lever beyond the reverse idle position.
178
What happens when the reverse thrust levers are pulled aft to the interlock position?
• The autothrottle disengages • The auto speedbrakes deploy ## Footnote This is part of the reverse thrust sequence in the 787 Flight Crew Operations Manual.
179
What does it mean when the REV indication changes to green?
The reverser is fully deployed ## Footnote This occurs after the reverse thrust levers are raised to the maximum reverse thrust position.
180
What does the EICAS advisory message ENG REV LIMITED (L or R) indicate?
The reverser cannot deploy when commanded, or can deploy only with reverse thrust limited to idle ## Footnote Not all conditions limiting or preventing reverse thrust can be detected before reverse thrust selection.
181
What does the EICAS advisory message ENG REVERSER (L or R) indicate?
A reverser system fault ## Footnote This message is displayed on the ground.
182
What does the EICAS caution message ENG REV AIR/GND indicate?
The air/ground logic that prevents in-flight thrust reverser deployment has failed ## Footnote This is a critical alert for safety during flight.
183
What does the EICAS caution message ENG REV COMMANDED (L or R) indicate?
The left or right reverse thrust lever is not in the down position in flight ## Footnote This alert is crucial for ensuring proper thrust management.
184
What does the engine monitor unit track?
Engine vibration levels ## Footnote The vibration indications are displayed on the secondary engine display.
185
What does the vibration source indication display?
N1, N2, or BB ## Footnote BB stands for broadband, which indicates that the vibration monitoring system cannot determine the specific source.
186
What is the primary purpose of the airborne vibration monitoring feature?
To track rotor imbalance ## Footnote It is also useful for isolating and determining corrective action for engine anomalies.
187
What happens when a vibration value of 4 units is reached?
Secondary engine parameters are displayed and the digital vibration readout is shown in reverse ## Footnote This means black digits on a white background.
188
Are there certified vibration limits in this system?
No ## Footnote There are no specific flight crew actions based solely on vibration indication.
189
How can high N1 vibration be felt?
Accompanied by tactile vibration ## Footnote High N2 vibration may not be felt.
190
What does the engine failure alert system indicate?
When actual engine performance is less than commanded engine performance ## Footnote This occurs during takeoff and other phases of flight.
191
What is displayed on PFDs during an engine failure alert?
A red ENG FAIL ## Footnote This is displayed if actual thrust is less than commanded thrust during takeoff with airspeed between 65 knots and 6 knots prior to V1.
192
What accompanies the PFD and HUD displays during an engine failure alert?
Voice annunciation 'Engine Fail' and Master WARNING lights illuminating ## Footnote This alerts the crew of the engine failure.
193
What does the EICAS caution message ENG FAIL indicate?
An engine unexpectedly decelerates to less than idle speed ## Footnote The message remains until the engine recovers or the fuel control switch is moved to CUTOFF.
194
What conditions trigger the EICAS caution message ENG THRUST?
Either: * Engine producing less than commanded thrust with no satisfactory increase * Engine producing more than commanded thrust with no satisfactory decrease * Current airspeed greater than 6 knots prior to V1 ## Footnote This message is displayed for both left and right engines.
195
What visual indicators accompany the EICAS caution message ENG THRUST?
Thrust command area filled amber, Master CAUTION light, and beeper aural ## Footnote These indicators provide additional alerts to the crew.
