computer functions while allowing the FADEC to quickly
come on line. POBIT takes a maximum of 0.246 seconds
to execute.
GSBIT
GSBIT is executed on the ground if the engine is not
running when any of these conditions exist:
- After the completion of POBIT.
- When the engine is being shutdown.
NPBIT
NPBIT is run continuously in foreground or background

FAN SPEED INDICATION - N1
Identification (1.A.a)
The fan speed (N1) indicating system consists of fan
speed sensor. The N1 sensor is on the fan case at the 3
oclock position.
Purpose (2.B.b)
The N1 sensor sends the fan speed signal to these
components:
- Full authority digital engine control (FADEC)
- Engine Indicating Cockpit Annunciation System
(EICAS)
- Engine vibration monitoring (EVM)
Operation (3.C.c)
The N1 speed sensor sends an analog signal to the
FADEC. The FADEC changes these signals to digital
and sends the signals (channel A and channel B) to the
EICAS. The EICAS uses the signals from the FADEC to
show N1 on the EICAS display system and range from
0% to a maximum displayed value of 110%.
Selection Logic: If both the local and cross talk N1
signals are invalid in the channel in control, then a

There are two sync tube assembly in each engine. The
sync tubes are located between the feedback actuator
and the locking actuators.
Purpose (2.B.b)
The sync tube contains the flex shafts to the head of
each actuator. This allows for mechanical
synchronization between the feedback and locking
actuators. The sync tubes not only contain the flex
shafts but also the hydraulic pressure supplied to the
deploy side of the actuators.

Identification (1.A.a)
The thrust reverser power door openers are at the 3
o'clock and at the 9 o'clock position on the thrust
reverser frame. The PDO can be locked in one of two
positions and function as a hold open rod to
maintain each fan reverser half in the open position.
Purpose (2.B.b)
The PDO actuators help in opening the thrust reverser
half for ground maintenance and inspection of the
engine and accessories.
Operation (3.C.c)
The opening actuator is actuated by a hand pump and a
flexible pipe, which are not parts of the nacelle. The
actuators can be latched in two positions. 20 deg or 43
deg at it's full open position.

Identification (1.A.a)
The ground maintenance override switch is a contact
switch located on the inlet bulkhead at the 3:00 position.
Purpose (2.B.b)
The ground maintenance override switch allows
maintenance personnel to operate the thrust reverser on
the ground without the engine running.
Operation (3.C.c)
The ground maintenance override is a momentary switch
that causes the FADEC to close both the ICU and DCU
ground relays. The switch needs contact with only one
FADEC channel but is interlocked with engine speed and
aircraft speed. N2 must be <9.96% and aircraft speed <40
knots.
Switch closure overrides the engine not running FADEC
requirement that would normally inhibit deployment on the
ground.
The switch must be held in order for ground deployment
to be accomplished. If the switch is closed for more than
two minutes, it will be disabled. This is a safety feature
that ensures that there is at least one person at the
engine during ground operation. It will be enabled again
after the switch is released for 30 seconds.
GMO is independent of WOW to allow for operation of the
TRAS while the aircraft is on jacks.

Identification (1.A.a)
In the deenergized state the actuators are at rest in the
flush, stowed position. All electrical signals are removed
and all locks are engaged. Clearance in the cowl lock
ensures it is unloaded during normal operation. The ICU
isolates the hydraulic supply such that all system
components are at return pressure. Any leakages
through the ICU are dissipated to return such that the
thrust reverser actuation system (TRAS) cannot
pressurize.

Purpose (2.B.b)
Translating cowl deployment.
Operation (3.C.c)
Movement of the direction control unit spool valve
permits pressure to the head areas of the actuators. As
pressure increases in the actuator head chambers the
internal lock piston is pulled back against its spring and
return pressure. The spring and lock piston areas are
configured such that the internal lock is released prior to
actuator movement in the extend direction. At this time,
supply pressure (3000 psi) is present on both sides of the
actuator piston. However, due to the differential area
across the actuator piston, the greater force on the head
side causes the actuators to extend to full deploy position.

command is initiated.
Operation (3.C.c)
While deployed, both the ICU and the cowl lock
solenoids remain powered. If an uncommanded stow is
detected by the FADEC, power is automatically removed
from the ICU to allow aerodynamic loads to drive the
transcowls back to the fully deployed position.

Purpose (2.B.b)
When the stow signal is sent from flight deck the
transcowls are stowed.
Operation (3.C.c)
To stow the cowls, the FADEC commands the DCU
solenoid to be deenergized and after a time delay, the
ICU solenoid to be energized. A 10-second time delay in
the SPDA maintains power to the cowl lock to allow for
health checks of the cowl lock solenoid. The control
valve spring in the DCU is sprung (and pressure
assisted) into the stow direction allowing pressure to the
actuators retract area and venting their heads to return.
The internal actuator locks automatically re-engage as
the cowls are retracted to the stowed position. The ICU
solenoid is then deenergized 20 seconds after stow and
the system returns to the deenergized state.
