Section 8. Engines & Fire Protection
8.7 Abnormal Procedures
8.7.1 Automatic Power Reserve
In the event of engine failure during takeoff, the Automatic Power Reserve (APR)
system increases thrust on the operating engine by up to 10%.
8.7.2 Aircraft Computer System Failure
The fuel flow and fuel temperature are supplied by the FADEC to the opposite ACS
and will continue to be displayed.
8.7.3 Manual Engine Shutdown
If the engine fails to shut down with the engine start switch selected OFF, control
automatically transfers to the other FADEC unit. If both FADEC units fail, the pilot
can shut down the engine by manually closing the Fuel Shutoff Valve by pressing the
FIRE/ARMED button once.
8.7.4 Engine Failure
In the event that an engine failure a L (R) ENG FAIL warning message appears.
8.7.5 Engine Control Failures (FADEC Channel Failures)
SINGLE CHANNEL
A failure of one of the FADEC channels causes a loss of redundancy in the engine
control system and prompts a L (R) ENG CONTROL advisory message to appear on
ground. This message indicates that one of the left or right side FADEC channels
has experienced a fault and will not affect engine operation; however flight with an
inoperative FADEC channel is not recommended.
DUAL CHANNEL
A failure of both FADEC channels on one side is a more serious condition that
prompts a L (R) ENG CONTROL FAIL caution message to appear. This failure may
degrade engine control to a point where the engine may fail to a fixed fuel flow or
throttle setting and may require that the engine be manually shut down using the
FIRE/ARMED button.
