1. BASIC FLOW LAW : f ( T1 & TGT)

2. LIGHT-UP DETECTION LAW : NG > 5%

WITH TGT 350°C

3. FLOW CORRECTION LAW : AUTO NG

ACCELERATION WITH TGT EXCEEDENCE

4. TGT SVL LAW : AUTO SHUT-DOWN IN

PROTECTION AT LIMITS

WHEN FADEC DETECTS SINGLE ENGINE CONDITION (POWER LOSS

DETECTION) VIA CROSS TALK, LIVE ENGINE POWER LIMIT IS

AUTOMATICALLY RAISED TO SCR

SINGLE ENGINE OPERATION, IF ICR & MCR IS SELECTED, ROTOR RPM

DROPS BELOW 92%, POWER RATING IS AUTOMATICALLY SELECTED TO

SCR
 FUNCTIONS
OVERSPEED PROTECTION

• FADEC INCORPORATES OVSP PROTECTION FOR BOTH NG AND NF

 NF OVSP PROTECTION : 02 x NF SENSORS
 NG OVSP PROTECTION : 02 x DEDICATED NG SENSORS

DETECTION OF SHUT OFF

OVSP SOLENOID VALVE STOPS ENGINE
(NG OR NF) ON FMU

• THE NF OVER SPEED THRESHOLD = 117.5% ± 1 %

• THE NG OVER SPEED THRESHOLD = 108.5% ± 1 %
• CROSS INHIBITION FUNCTION
 FUNCTIONS
OEI TRAIN MODE
• EACH ENGINE DELIVERS HALF THE REQUIRED POWER FOR OEI OPERATIONS

• ΔN AND ΔQ PARAMETERS OF THE ENGINES WILL BE DISPLAYED TO SIMULATE

OEI CONDITIONS

• Q, TGT, NG, AND NF WILL INDICATE ACTUAL VALUES

• TRAIN MODE IS AUTOMATICALLY DISCONTINUED

NG < 45% (70%)
NF < 86% (96%)
GOV 1 /2 OR DECU 1/2 DGRAD FAILURE IS DETECTED
TRAIN SWITCH FAILURE IS DETECTED
STOP / START / FLIGHT SWITCH FAILURE IS DETECTED
FADEC CROSS TALK FAILURE IS DETECTED
ENGINE START / STOP / FLIGHT SWITCH IS SELECTED TO IDLE /STOP POSN
NG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO ENGINES > 10% (< 7%)
Q DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO ENGINES > 62 % (< 44%)
 FUNCTIONS
CROSS TALK FEATURE

• Each channel (A and B) communicates with the corresponding

channel of the other FADEC
• Data exchanged between FADECs

Critical failures / status like GOV fail DECU DEGRADE fail
 FUNCTIONS

POWER LOSS DETECTION

• Difference of more than 7% NG between both engines

• Difference of more than 45 % Q between both engines

• Cross talk failure between the FADECs : Standby CWP

will indicate PWR LOSS

• NF difference of greater than 5%

• Level-3 fail – warning caption GOV of one of the

FADECs
 FUNCTIONS

ENGINE MATCHING
Principle:
 If the NG matching is selected, the engine with the
lower NG increases its NG to match the other engine’s
NG
 If the Q matching is selected, the engine with the lower
Q increases its NG to match the other engine’s Q
