ENGINE
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-70-10-10-10-00019001.0002001 / 21 MAR 16

The engine has:

‐ Three compressor turbine assemblies:
‐ The Low Pressure (LP) compressor turbine assembly,
‐ The Intermediate Pressure (IP) compressor turbine assembly,
‐ The High Pressure (HP) compressor turbine assembly.
L2 Each turbine operates its associated compressor via a shaft.
L1 ‐ One accessory gearbox,
‐ One combustion chamber.
The engine operates as follows:
1. The LP compressor, referred to as the fan, compresses the air.
2. Then, the air is divided into two flows:
‐ Most of the air flows out of the core engine, and provides most of the engine thrust,
‐ The remaining air enters the core engine.
3. The IP and the HP compressors compress the air that enters the core engine.
4. The fuel is added to and mixed with the compressed air of the core engine. The mixture is ignited
in the combustion chamber.
5. The gas that results from combustion drives the HP, the IP, and the LP turbines.
The rotation speed of the fan provides the N1 engine parameter.
The rotation speed of the IP rotor provides the N2 engine parameter.
The rotation speed of the HP rotor provides the N3 engine parameter.
The N1 and N3 engine parameters appear on the Engine/Warning Display (E/WD).
The N2 engine parameter appears on the ENG SD page.
L2 The N1, N2 and N3 engine parameters are current rotation speeds displayed in percentage.
L1 The FADEC uses:

‐ The N1 engine parameter to compute the applicable engine thrust,

‐ The N1, N2 and N3 engine parameters for engine control and monitoring.

Control of turbine case, bearing and gearbox cooling
Cooling of FADEC
Detection, isolation and recording of failures
Protection against fan stall
‐ Modified Engine Acceleration Schedule for Take Off (MEASTO): A logic that ensures a
progressive thrust is automatically set during the takeoff roll. Engine acceleration is controlled with
an “EPR/second” rate in EPR mode.
‐ Stall recovery logic: When a fan stall is detected, a recovery logic is triggered which consists of a
fuel flow reduction and Variable Stator Vanes repositioning. The protection is active until the thrust
lever is moved as per ECAM procedure.
Keep out zone logic
To prevent fan instability, this logic avoids stabilized engine operation between the 1.16 to 1.28 EPR
range (in N1 rated mode, the keep-out zone depends on the ambient conditions), when on ground
with an aircraft speed below 80 kt.
Protection against Intermediate Pressure Turbine overspeed
The Intermediate Pressure Turbine Overspeed System (IPTOS) automatically limits the engine thrust
up to 30 % of the maximum takeoff thrust or automatically shutdown the affected engine. This is to
protect the integrity of the Intermediate Pressure Turbine, in the case of engine shaft failure. The
IPTOS protection remains active for the remainder of the flight. In case of single engine operations,
the IPTOS logic is automatically deactivated on the remaining engine.

A FADEC dedicated to each engine controls thrust.

The pilot uses the thrust levers to set the thrust in manual mode, and the FMGS sets the thrust in
automatic mode.
The FADEC prevents the thrust from exceeding the limit for the thrust lever position in both manual
and automatic modes.
The engine thrust setting is made through control of the Engine Pressure Ratio (EPR).
EPR = low pressure turbine exhaust pressure / Engine air inlet air pressure.

Ident.: DSC-70-35-20-00020793.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL

The FADEC has two modes of power setting, EPR and N1 modes.

EPR MODE
Ident.: DSC-70-35-20-00020803.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL

EPR mode is the normal mode to control the thrust.

The required EPR is set by controlling the fuel flow.
The FADEC computes the command EPR as a function of:
‐ Thrust Lever Angle (TLA)
‐ Altitude
‐ Mach number
‐ Air data (static pressure/temperature, total air pressure/temperature)
‐ Service bleed.
Note: During reverse operation, the thrust is controlled as a function of N1.

N1 MODE
Ident.: DSC-70-35-20-00020804.0005001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL

In the event of no EPR available the affected FADEC will automatically revert to N1 mode.
At the reversion to N1 mode, an equivalent thrust to that achieved in EPR mode is provided, until a
thrust lever position change.
In case of dispatch in N1 mode, flex take-off is not available.
Depending on the failure case leading to EPR mode loss, the FADEC will revert to either rated or
degraded N1 mode.
Autothrust control disengages. However it can be re-engaged if no more than one engine is in
degraded N1 mode. ALPHA FLOOR protection remains available if one engine is in degraded N1
mode.
RATED N1 MODE
An automatic reversion to rated N1 mode occurs, when:
‐ Engine P2 (Engine Inlet Total Pressure) and/or P5 (Engine Low Pressure Turbine Outlet
Pressure) are not available, or
‐ Engine P2 is lower than ADIRS Pt.

FLIGHT CREW
OPERATING MANUAL TRENT-700) - ENGINE POWER SETTING

The FADEC will compute an EPR COMMAND, depending on the TLA, then convert it into a N1
COMMAND as a function of Mach.
The rated N1 mode can also be manually-selected through the ENG N1 MODE pb-sw on the
overhead panel.
DEGRADED N1 MODE
An automatic reversion to degraded N1 mode occurs, when:
‐ Engine P2 (Engine Inlet Total Pressure) and ADIRS 1 + 2 Pt are not available, or
‐ Engine T2 (Engine Inlet Total Temperature) and ADIRS 1 + 2 Tt are not available, or
‐ Engine P0 (Engine Inlet Static Pressure) and ADIRS 1 + 2 Ps are not available.
The N1 is defined as a function of TLA and altitude and is limited by the FADEC to either the
smaller of N1 max or N1 redline (if T2 is available), or N1 redline (if T2 is not available).
The N1 DEGRADED MODE is an unrated N1 mode.
The N1 rating limit, N1 TLA, and N1 max indications on ECAM E/WD are lost.
In electrical emergency configuration, the EPR mode is lost on both engines, and each FADEC
reverts to an degraded N1 mode.

EPR RECOVERY LOGIC

Ident.: DSC-70-35-20-00004771.0002001 / 25 FEB 14
Applicable to: ALL

With the FADEC in either rated or degraded N1 mode, switching OFF the ENG N1 MODE
pushbutton on the overhead panel will permit to return to the EPR mode, if the failure has
disappeared and the aircraft is on ground.

The engines are in the manual mode, provided the A/THR function is:
‐ Not armed, or
‐ Armed and inactive (thrust lever not in the A/THR operating range and no alpha floor).
In these conditions, each engine is controlled by its thrust lever position.
The pilot controls thrust by moving the thrust lever from IDLE to TOGA positions. Each thrust lever
position within these limits corresponds to an EPR.
When the thrust lever is in a detent, the corresponding EPR is equal to the EPR rating limit,
computed by the FADEC for this engine.

When the thrust lever is set in FLX MCT detent :

‐ On the ground :
The engine runs at the flex takeoff thrust rating, if the MCDU has selected a flex takeoff
temperature that is higher than the current total air temperature (TAT).
Otherwise, the engine produces maximum continuous thrust (MCT).
Note: A FLEX TEMP change during takeoff has no effect on thrust.
‐ After takeoff :
The pilot can change from FLX to MCT by moving the thrust lever to TOGA or CL, then back to
MCT. After that, he cannot use the FLX rating.
The pilot can always get MAX TO thrust by pushing the thrust lever all the way forward.
Note: Setting the thrust lever out of the FLX MCT detent, without reaching TOGA or CL detent,
has no effect.

Applicable to: ALL

The FMU is controlled by the FADEC, and performs :

‐ Control of the fuel flow to the engine combustion chamber through the Fuel Metering Valve (FMV)
‐ Overspeed protection by closing the HP shutoff valve
‐ Actuation of the HP shutoff valve to start, or stop, the engine.

FUEL FLOW
Ident.: DSC-70-40-40-00001139.0003001 / 09 FEB 18
Applicable to: ALL
L3 The Fuel Metering Valve (FMV) transforms FADEC orders through a torque motor and servovalve
into fuel flow to the engine fuel nozzles.
The FMV resolver generates a feedback signal proportional to the FMV position.
The bypass valve maintains a constant pressure drop across the FMV to ensure that the metered
fuel flow is proportional to the FMV position.

L1 The FADEC computes the fuel flow that will maintain the target EPR.
As the FADEC maintains this EPR, it allows N3 to vary while remaining between N3 minimum and
N3 maximum. The FADEC also controls the engine parameters to :
‐ Limit acceleration and deceleration ;
‐ Avoid engine stall or flameout ;
‐ Limit max EPR, N1, N2 and N3 ;
‐ Maintain the air bleed pressure requirement.

Ident.: DSC-70-40-40-00020651.0003001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL

TURBINE OVERSPEED PROTECTION (TOS)

The FADEC provides protection against LP turbine overspeed, due to LP shaft breakage between
compressor and turbine. If it occurs, the engine is shut down by closing the HP shut-off valve.
OVERSPEED PROTECTION UNIT (OPU)
Independent of the FADEC, the engine is fitted with the N1/N2 overspeed protection unit. In the
event of overspeed condition detected by the OPU, which occurs when N1 reaches 110 % or N2
reaches 117 % , the OPU controls the engine shutdown by closing the HP shut-off valve.

The thrust reverser system is independently controlled for each engine by the associated FADEC.
This system is controlled and monitored by each FADEC channel. The translating cowls are
hydraulically actuated. The thrust reverser system for each engine includes all of the following:
‐ Four pivoting blocker doors each activated by an hydraulic actuator
‐ A hydraulic isolation valve controlled by the FADEC
‐ A directional control valve, which directs hydraulic pressure to 4 hydraulic locks and to the deploy
or stow line
‐ Four independent electrical locks controlled by the FADEC
‐ Four stow proximity switches and four lock proximity switches to monitor if the translating cowls
are deployed or stowed and locked
‐ Four tertiary locks (one for each of the pivoting doors) that enable the reverse to be maintained in
the locked position via a door pin. During engine reverse thrust, a solenoid enables the door pin to
be released.

ACTUATION LOGIC
Ident.: DSC-70-70-00020764.0004001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL

Deployment requires :
‐ TLA reverse signals from FADEC and from the flight control primary computer (PRIM 1 or PRIM 3)
‐ One FADEC channel that operates with its associated throttle reverse signal
‐ Aircraft on ground signal from at least one LGCIU.
During deployment, engine reverse thrust is limited to idle, until the reversers are deployed by more
than 70 %. Then, FADEC will command full reverse thrust to be available when reversers position
are more than 90 % deployed.
