8.2 Aircraft Computer Systems (ACS) Interfaces
The ACS interface with the engine and fire protection system is divided into four
areas
1. Thrust Control
2. Engine Starting
3. Secondary Engine Parameter Monitoring
4. Fire Detection and Suppression
8.2.1 Thrust Control
The primary thrust control interface for the pilot is through the two throttles located on
the throttle quadrant. Inputs from each throttle go directly to both FADEC units. The
FADEC combines these inputs with air data information received from the Integrated
Sensor Suites and sets thrust by regulating fuel output from the Fuel Metering Unit
(FMU). The FADECs monitor the primary engine sensors (N1, N2 and ITT) and
report this information to the ACS which is then routed through the PFD to the MFD
for display.
