A full authority digital engine (or electronics) control (FADEC) is a system consisting of a digital computer, called an "electronic engine controller" (EEC) or "engine control unit" (ECU), and its related accessories that control all aspects of aircraft engine performance.
Many modern aircraft use single-lever power control (SLPC) system, where on-board computer automatically manages the propeller speed based on the desired power setting and operational conditions. The output power from the propeller is equal to a product of propeller efficiency and input power from the engine.
An engine-indicating and crew-alerting system (EICAS) [1] is an integrated system used in modern aircraft to provide aircraft flight crew with instrumentation and crew annunciations for aircraft engines and other systems. On EICAS equipped aircraft the "recommended remedial action" is called a checklist.
Aero Engine Controls is the former name of Rolls-Royce Controls and Data Services. The company produces engine control software, electronic engine controls (EEC) , fuel metering units (FMU) , fuel pumps and engine actuators for a large number of common commercial and military aircraft. [ 1 ]
It produces engine control software, electronic engine controls (EEC), fuel metering units (FMU), fuel pumps and engine actuators for a large number of common commercial and military aircraft. [1] Together these parts comprise the control system for a jet engine, responsible for delivering the correct amount of fuel and maintaining engine safety.
At 13:37, the crew requested a climb to FL100 (approximately 10,000 feet or 3,000 metres) and an immediate return to Alverca, reporting flight control problems. At several points, the aircraft experienced a complete loss of control, rolling over and diving sharply, putting stress on the airframe. The crew requested a heading to the sea so they ...
The aircraft was involved in another incident six years later as Flight 691 from Hong Kong to Penang on 8 September 2016, with 295 passengers and crew on board, when an airport delivery van crashed into the aircraft's left engine. The aircraft was withdrawn from service on 13 August 2020, at the expiration of its lease, after its last ...
In aviation, an electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) is a flight instrument display system in an aircraft cockpit that displays flight data electronically rather than electromechanically. An EFIS normally consists of a primary flight display (PFD), multi-function display (MFD), and an engine indicating and crew alerting system (EICAS ...
