Ignition System B


74-31-02AIgnition System B
Applicable to: -
- Before engine start
On ground, if the FADEC selects the Ignition System B during an automatic start, the engine fails to start and the ENG 1(2) START FAULT IGNITION FAULT alert appears on the EWD.
Then, the FADEC automatically initiates a second engine start attempt with both ignition systems selected.

Applicable to: -
- Before engine start
On ground, if the FADEC selects the Ignition System B during an automatic start, the engine fails to start and the ENG 1(2) START FAULT IGNITION FAULT alert appears on the EWD.
To prevent a possible start abort with the triggering of the ENG 1(2) START FAULT IGNITION FAULT alert, perform a manual engine start. Refer to FCOM.

Applicable to: -
- Before engine start
On ground, if the FADEC selects the Ignition System B during an automatic start, the engine fails to start and the alert related to the failure of the Ignition System B appears on the EWD. Then, the FADEC automatically initiates an additional engine start attempt with both ignition systems selected.
To maximize the probability to start the engine at the first attempt, the Ignition System A must be selected by the FADEC. Perform one of the following engine starts:
An automatic engine start:
Before engine start:
  • ENGINE/IGN/ENG 1(2)/SYS B (121VU P41 or P42) C/BPULL
After engine start:
  • ENGINE/IGN/ENG 1(2)/SYS B (121VU P41 or P42) C/BPUSH
A manual engine start:
It remains possible to perform an automatic engine start without pulling the circuit breakers of the Ignition System B. The first start attempt may be successful because the FADEC may select the Ignition System A. However, the first start attempt may fail because the FADEC may select the Ignition System B.
