NOTE Thumbwheel for lever friction (Item 2) Figure 7.6.2 - ENGINE CONTROLS (LEVERS)
Page 415
SECTION 7 PILOT’S OPERATING HANDBOOK DESCRIPTION Throttle (Figure 7.6.3) The throttle has two operating modes : Thrust mode and Condition mode. Thrust mode The throttle is in vertical position. It modulates engine power from full reverse to max power. Engine running, the throttle rearward displacement, past the lock using the detent, allows to control : the engine power in the Beta range from idle to maximum reverse, the Beta valve to select the propeller pitch in reverse.
SECTION 7 PILOT’S OPERATING HANDBOOK DESCRIPTION ”MAN OVRD” emergency fuel regulation lever (Figure 7.6.2) Emergency fuel regulation lever (3) is normally in OFF position. In case of FCU or throttle failure, it allows setting engine power manually. To quit OFF position, move the lever forward overriding the indexation. NOTE The power available if the throttle fails will be limited by the position of the lever.
SECTION 7 PILOT’S OPERATING HANDBOOK DESCRIPTION ENGINE STARTING (Figure 7.6.4) Ignition function Ignition system consists of an ignition unit and two spark igniter plugs in powerplant, a three-position ”IGNITION” switch OFF - AUTO - ON located on ”ENGINE START” panel at upper panel.
