EXCEEDANCE TIMERS
Exceedance Timer Behaviors
•
Timer begins counting once the indicated parameter exceeds its threshold
•
Timers reset/disappear if the parameter falls below the threshold prior to
expiration
•
Exceedance recording begins when the timer expires (i.e., once grace period
ends)
•
Exceedances without a grace period cause the system to record a log entry
upon going above the threshold and does not display a timer
Exceedance timers are very useful for recording temperature exceedances during
engine starts. For more information about exceedance logging, refer to
section 1.30.
Exceedance timers indicate the maximum allowable
time that the parameter can operate at an elevated
level. This grace period is configured by the installer
during initial setup. Depending on the parameter
type, the time limit may be based on aircraft or
engine manufacturer specifications.
