on the engine synoptic. This feature is available on ground only; the line select key
control of dry motoring is removed in flight.
8.6.4 Takeoff
Takeoff thrust is set by advancing both throttles to the takeoff position (full-forward).
The FADEC controls fuel flow such that the engines produce takeoff thrust for the
ambient conditions. The engines are rated to produce 900 pounds of thrust at sea
level at or below International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) temperature + 10°C.
8.6.5 Continuous Ignition
To avoid engine flameout in turbulence, heavy rain, or icing conditions, continuous
ignition is selected by placing the engine start switch to the CONT IGN position.
8.6.6 Flight and Ground Idle RPM
Engine idle speed is higher in-flight (approx. 52% N2) than on the ground (approx.
47% N2), as determined by the WOW sensor. This feature is incorporated to provide
a higher margin in-flight and avoid the possibility of engine flameout due to anomalies
in engine inlet airflow.
