Section 8. Engines & Fire Protection
8.2.2 Engine Starting
The ACS provides control of the engine stop and start sequences based on pilot
commands using the engine start switch panel. Pilot commands are transmitted from
the engine start switch panel to the center switch panel. From the center switch
panel these commands are sent through the PFD to the ACS'. An engine start
command is sent from the ACS to the FADECs and to other aircraft systems involved
in or reconfigured during the engine start process (Electrical, Fuel, Climate Control
and Ice Protection).
During on-ground engine starts, the ACS also provides an automatic start abort
feature. If an engine start is aborted, the ACS reconfigures the aircraft systems back
to a power off configuration and prompts a ENG START ABORT caution message
appears.
NOTE:
The ACS will not automatically abort in-flight restarts to allow an engine restart
regardless of aircraft system state.
Once and engine start is complete, the FADECs run the engine independently and
report primary engine parameters (N1, N2 and ITT) to the ACS for display to the pilot.
