Powerplant (PH 16.x.x, 2.14.1)

 

(non-memory)

 

319:    CFM 56-5B6/P rated at 23,500 lbs. thrust

320:   CFM 56-5B4/P rated at 27,000 lbs. thrust

321:    CFM 56-5B3/P rated at 32,000 lbs. thrust

 

Max Starting Temp: 725°  C

Max Continuous Temp:        915°  C

TOGA Temp:                         950°  C (5 mins.)

 

12.5 qts. Min for dispatch (U) (PH 2.14.5)

FADEC controlled (Full Authority Digital Engine Control)  (PH 16.1.3)

 

Each FADEC is a two channel computer with one channel active and the other used as backup. Each FADEC has its own alternator that powers it once N2 is above a certain value. If the alternator fails normal ships power will take over.

 

Three idle modes:

Ø      Modulated:           Varies with demand, in flight with flaps at 0

Ø      Approach:            Depends only on altitude, activated when flaps not at 0

Ø      Reverse:               Selected when on ground and thrust levers at idle, slightly

            higher than forward idle.

 

Five Thrust Lever Detents:

 

Ø      TOGA:                              Takeoff go-around

Ø      FLX/MCT:                        Flex takeoff, Max continuous

Ø      CL:                                    Climb thrust

Ø      IDLE:                                Idle thrust for forward and reverse

Ø      FULL REV:                      Maximum reverse thrust

 

Continuous ignition provided automatically (with Mode selector in NORM) when:

 

Ø      Engine ANTI ICE on

Ø      Engine flameout in-flight detected

Ø      EIU fails

 

Continuous ignition may be selected manually by positioning the ENG MODE  selector to IGN/START


Normal Start Sequence:

Note: start ENG 1 first to pressurize Green Hydraulics

 

Ø      ENG Mode selector to IGN/START

Ø      ENG Master switch to ON (after amber X’s go away)

            At 16 % ignition ON

            At 22% starts fuel flow

            At 50% start valve closes, ignition off

            Engine idle should stabilize at about 58%

Ø      ENG mode selector to NORM

 

Normal Idle – 2,4,6,6 – Approx. 20% N1, 400° C EGT, 60% N2, 600 lbs/hr FF

 

Manual Start Sequence:

Ø      ENG Mode selector to IGN/START

Ø      ENG MAN START pb ON

Ø      At Max Motoring (min. 20% N2) select ENG Master switch ON

Fuel and ignition will begin when ENG Master selected ON

At 50% start valve closes, ignition off

Ø      At idle, about 58%, ENG MAN START pb OFF

Ø      ENG mode selector to NORM

 

N2 background “grays out” during start, returns to normal when stabilized at idle

Ignition A or B will show on SD during normal start, A & B during manual start

 

Note: For first flight of day run engines for at least 5 mins. before applying takeoff thrust, for subsequent flights warm up engines at least 3 mins. Run at least 1 min. after landing.

APU (PH 16.3.x, 7.1.x)

 

APU can supply can electrical up to 39,000’ and supply full electrical load up to 25,000’ and bleed air up to 20,000’. Electrical takes precedence over bleed air. APU bleed is NOT permitted for Wing anti-ice. The APU is fed fuel from left fuel manifold. If no other fuel boost is available the APU will activate a separate dedicated APU fuel pump. In flight (above 100 kts.) on bat only the APU will not start (RAT failed). With RAT (loss of GEN 1 & 2) the APU is allowed 3 minutes for a start attempt.

 

The APU can supply the entire electrical system on the ground. In the air the APU will not supply the main galley shed busses.

 

The APU will auto shutdown and fire the extinguisher bottle on the ground but not in-flight. In-flight the APU must be manually shut down and extinguished for fire. If the APU SHUT OFF pushbutton on the external panel or the APU FIRE pb on the overhead FIRE panel is pressed the APU will shutdown but the extinguisher will not automatically fire. Note: APU will auto shutdown in-flight for reasons other than fire.

 

The APU generator will automatically come online if engine gens. or external is not already online. The APU is ready for bleed and electrics when reaching 95% for two seconds or 99.5%. The AVAIL light will show in the APU start pb and green APU AVAIL will show on EWD display when APU gen is available for use.

APU bleed may be selected on whenever needed and APU will allow bleed to come online after allowing time for EGT to stabilize. On shutdown the APU Master is pushed off. The APU will continue to run for cooling period before shutting down. If the APU Master is pressed back on before the APU shuts down the APU will continue to run. When shutting the APU down for the Parking & Securing checklist wait 2 mins. after APU Avail light goes out before switching batteries off. If APU is left running, leave batteries on for fire protection.

 

APU Bleed is actually supplied by APU load compressor.

 

The Line method for starting the APU and putting it “online”:

 

Ø      Press APU Master Switch pb ON

 

Ø      Wait about 3 seconds then press APU Start pb ON

 

Ø      Press APU Bleed pb ON

 

That’s it! If EXT PWR is not already established online the APU GEN will automatically come online followed by APU bleed air after the proper interval which will automatically turn on the packs assuming their pb’s are in the normal on (switch blank) position. Isn’t technology wonderful! You can start the APU before your walk around and the APU will be heating the cabin and have air pressure available for the coffee maker by the time you get back!
