Engine Primary Indication
The main parameters, THRust (THR), low pressure rotor (Fan) speed
N1, and the Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT), are displayed on the Engine
Warning Display (EWD).
The engine power indication is named thrust "THR", it is derived from
the ratio P30 to P20 corrected by TGT and T20. THR is expressed as a
percentage of thrust available (for the forward power operation and for
the reverse power operation).
The thrust indication comes from an EEC processing function named
ACUTE (Airbus Cockpit Universal Thrust Emulator).
The Turbofan Power Ratio (TPR) is the preliminary parameter to compute
the thrust indication.(TPR is not displayed in the cockpit).
100% of thrust represents the maximum available thrust.

The thrust reverser of the A380 is an Electrical Thrust Reverser Actuation
System (ETRAS). Thrust reversers are only installed on the inboard
position nacelles.
The Thrust Reverser structure has two translating cowls.
In forward thrust configuration the translating cowl is in the forward,
stowed position, covering the cascades and the blocker doors are faired
into
the inner acoustic panel of the translating cowl.
In reverse thrust, deployed position, the translating cowl moves aft to
uncover the cascades, and the blocker doors rotate inward against the fan
flow duct to block the fan exhaust.
ETRAS Command Lines
The Thrust Reverser actuation power chain is made of the following
components:
-Electrical Thrust Reverser Actuation Controller (ETRAC),
-Thrust Reverser Power Unit (TRPU),
-The Power Drive Unit (PDU),
-The Primary Lock Systems (PLS), LH and RH,
-The Tertiary Lock System (TLS).
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM7RP9000000001

The ETRAC digitally interfaces with EEC and supplies control for
the position of the sleeves.
The ETRAS requires three separate aircraft commands to start the
deployment (three lines of defense):
- The command to supply 115 VAC to unlock the TLS through
PRIMary systems,
- The command to supply 115 VAC to the TRPU through EIPM,
- The deploy or stow command to the ETRAC through EEC.

POWER PLANT DRAIN PRESENTATION (1)


General
The power plant drains collect and discard from the pylon, nacelle and
engine, all the unwanted liquids to avoid fire and fluid accumulation.
These fluids are fuel, hydraulic fluid, oil and water.
The power plant drains also supply an help to accurate trouble shooting.
Pylon Drains
The primary, the front secondary and the rear secondary structures of
the pylon are separately drained.
The drains, of the primary and front secondary structures of the pylon,
exit at the split line of fan exhaust cowl rear part.
The drains of the pylon rear secondary structure directly exit through
pylon trailing edge.
Nacelle Drains
Drained nacelle areas are the zone 1 and the zone 3. The Zone 2 is an
engine area.
The zone 1 of the nacelle is also called fan compartment and the zone
3 of the nacelle is also called core compartment,
The zone 1 is drained through both the split line and the ventilation
outlet of the fan cowl doors.
The zone 3 is drained though a hole located at the lowest point of the
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM7RPA000000001

fan exhaust cowls.


Engine Drains
Zone 2 is enclosed by the engine core fairings. The drain of the zone
2 exits at the split line of the fan exhaust cowl front part.
The drain of the tail support structure exits at the split line of the fan
exhaust cowl rear part, just in front of the 2 pylon drains. This drain
discards any residual fuel after an aborted start or a wet crank.
The other engine components are drained through the drain mast.

POWER PLANT DRAIN PRESENTATION (1)


Note that the drain lines of the drain tank and the oil tank scupper are
Drain Mast grouped together.
The drain mast has an aerodynamic shape and it is installed at the rear
face of the external gearbox.
It protrudes the nacelle at the bottom split line between the 2 fan cowl
doors.
The drain mast is connected from the drained components via separate
lines. Each line has its dedicated outlet located on one side of the drain
mast. The name of the corresponding drained component is engraved
beside its outlet, if an outlet becomes wet, the leaking component is easily
identified.
Note that the drain mast includes a breather outlet to vent the engine oil
system.
Drain Mast Connections
The drained components, which are installed on the external gearbox,
are connected to the drain mast through their mounting pads.
These components are:
- Hydraulic pump 1,
- Hydraulic pump 2,
- Starter,
- Fuel pump and,
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM7RPA000000001

- Variable Frequency Generator (VFG).


The drain lines of the 2 Variable Stator Vane Actuators are grouped
together. However if the identification of the leaking unit is required,
2 sumps with screw plugs are installed on the pipes before the junction.
The drain tank collects the fuel from the manifolds at engine shutdown
or in case of aborted start. At each engine start the content of the drain
tank is drawn back in the engine fuel system. After aborted starts if
the drain tank becomes full, the surplus is discarded through the drain
mast.
The oil tank scupper collects and drains the oil that could be spilled
during a servicing.

Engine Safety Items
Here is an overview of main safety precautions relative to the engines.
For maintenance tasks, deactivate the thrust reverser before working
around it, put the safety devices and the warning notices in position.
Otherwise the thrust reverser can operate accidentally.
Make sure that all engine areas are as clear as possible and that the proper
fire fighting equipment is in place.
Do not try to stop fan by hand.
To open the engine cowls, respect the wind limitations and the given
opening/closing sequence.
After the engine shutdown, parts can stay hot for almost one hour.
Let the pressure decrease in the oil tank before doing the oil servicing to
prevent hot engine oil splashes.
Let discharge the ignition system since it uses high energy. Keep in mind
that this system may be energized through tests.
The engine fuel and oil are poisonous. If you spray oil or fuel on your
skin wash yourself.

Engine Ground Support Equipment
Some engine maintenance tasks require Ground Support Equipment
(GSE).
Refer to the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) for the tasks.
Also, refer to the illustrated Tool and Equipment Manual (TEM) for the
complete list of the tools.
Engine Removal/Installation (R/I) procedure is done using bootstraps.
Due to the weight of the pull lift (100 kg, 6 meters chain long), a specific
device (mini lift) has been developed and incorporated in the bootstrap
kit. This system will ease the pull lift installation by reducing the load.
Holding wrench tools for front/rear mounts have been developed to
untorque the mounts in good condition.

Engine Storage And Preservation
Storage and preservation procedures must be applied for engines being
not operated for a period of time according to the AMM. The preservation
procedures protect the engine against corrosion, liquid and debris entering
the engine, and atmospheric conditions during period of inactivity.

CAUTION: under no circumstances shall preservative oil or equivalent


be sprayed into the engine inlet, core compressor or turbine,
or engine exhaust. Dirt particles on wet blades and vanes
may adversely affect engine performance during subsequent
operation.
