- Condition mode
The
THROTTLE is moved to the condition side by lifting the knob.
As long as the THROTTLE is in condition mode, the propeller is in feather
position.The THROTTLE can be positioned to CUT OFF, idle LO-IDLE or idle
HI-IDLE.
Change fromidle HI-IDLE toLO-IDLEpositionrequires moving theTHROTTLE
rearwards.
Change from idle LO-IDLE to CUT OFF position is only possible after having
overridden the idle gate. To override idle gate, raise the THROTTLE and move
it rearwards.
MAN OVRD control - see figure 7.6.2
MAN OVRD control (3) is normally notched in fullbackward position. In case of FCU or
THROTTLE failure, it allows setting engine power manually.
To quit full backward position (notched), move the MAN OVRD control forward
overriding the indexation.
● NOTE ●
The power available if the THROTTLE fails will be limited by the position of the
lever.
●
Lever friction - see figure 7.6.2
A thumbwheel (Item 2) located on right side of pedestal console increases friction to
avoid control slip of the THROTTLE after setting.
PIM - DO NOT USE FOR FLIGHT OPERATIONS
