AOM-145/1114
Start/Stop Selectors ................................................................ STOP
Once the Emergency/Parking Brake is applied, shut down the
engines by selecting the engine start knobs to STOP.
NOTE: - Associated engine BLEED must be CLOSED before
selecting the engine START/STOP Selectors to STOP;
- The engines will not shut down with START/STOP
Selectors unless Thrust Levers are first moved to IDLE. If
STOP is selected before Thrust Lever is retarded to IDLE,
momentarily cycle START/STOP Selector to RUN and
back to STOP;
- It is recommended to keep the engine running at idle
during 1 minute to permit engine thermal stabilization
prior to shutdown. Time of operation at or near idle, such
as taxiing, is included in this 1-minute period.
- To prevent spurious overcurrents in the electrical system,
engines must not be shut down concurrently with the
starting of the APU. A minimum one-minute interval
between those two procedures is recommended.
NOTE: If the overcurrent protection is actuated, the airplane will enter
in electrical emergency when both engines are shut down
(both PFDs and MFDs deenergized, but EICAS display
energized). In this case, the following steps must be
accomplished:
- Batteries 1 and 2...............................................OFF
- Bus Ties ............................................................OFF
- Properly trained personnel must reset the electrical
system through ELEC SW switch on the Maintenance
Panel behind the pilot’s seat.
- If the failure persists, the related fault isolation task (FIM
TASK 24-60-00-810-820-A) should be accomplished.
Red Beacon ............................................................................ OFF
The red beacon should be switched OFF after the engines are shut
down. The use of the Red Beacon should be associated with
engine(s) running or airplane in movement.
Fasten Belts ............................................................................ OFF
The FSTN BELTS lights should be switched OFF by crew as soon
as the airplane is static and the engines are shut down. This will be
a signal to cabin crew to initiate the procedures for deplanning of
the passengers.
