This panel is used when starting the A/C engine. Depending on the type of
turbine the panel
may have little variations, as the different engines are also started in a different way. This panel is located on
the
left console.

Information |
RUN |
Light (green) |
|
Illuminates green within 30 seconds after initiating JFS start to indicate that the JFS has
attained governed speed
|
JFS |
3-Way switch |
START 1 |
Vents one of the hydraulic accumulators to the hydraulic start motor
|
OFF |
Normal switch position. The JFS can be shut down at anytime by selecting OFF. The switch will
return to OFF automatically during a normal ground start at 50 percent rpm.
|
START 2 |
Vents booth hydraulic accumulators to the hydraulic start motor. This position is used for
ground starts in extreme temperatures or after a start 1 failure. START 2 is also used for
JFS-assisted airstarts.
|
EEC BUC |
3-Way switch (Safety bar) |
EEC (Safe) |
EEC (electronic engine control) in operation (normal position) |
OFF |
EEC (electronic engine control) not in use (basic UFC operation) |
BUC |
80: Transfer occurs when throttle is in OFF or above BUC IDLE.
LESS 80: If rpm is above 52 percent and throttle position is at or above BUC IDLE, transfer
to BUC occurs. If rpm is below 52 persent, transfer occurs regardless of throttle position.
|
STARTING FUEL |
3-Way switch |
AUTO LEAN |
If UFC (EEC ON or OFF), lean fuel flow is provided during the engine start cycle until 30 seconds
after the main generator comes on the line. Fuel flow then increases by 100 pph (rich fuel flow).
In BUC, rich starting fuel flow is provided.
|
RICH |
Fuel flow is rich at all times |
LEAN |
Fuel flow is lean at all times |
MAX POWER |
2-Way switch (Safety frame) |
MAX POWER |
Delivers maximum thrust (VMAX) when at 1.1 mach or above and the throttle is at MAX AB
|
OFF |
Normal (deenergized) position |
