3.28 Flight with INOP Generator(s) Briefing
The engine is equipped with two generators
–
one for the engine
systems (ignition, fuel pumps, ECU, fuse box) and a second one for
the aircraft systems.
After a single generator failure, the ECU switches to the remaining
generator to ensure safe operation of the engine. Therefore, a single
generator failure does not cause a dangerous situation.
After a single generator failure, the aircraft systems are powered by
the aircraft batteries only. Engaging the emergency mode by switching
the emergency switch on will provide excess power of the remaining
generator to the electric system, which is also still supported by the
batteries.
The flight may be safely continued even with one generator offline.
Essential systems are still powered for a sufficient time. Non-essential
systems are cut off the electric system and will fail now. As soon as
the internal backup batteries of the SkyView system are discharged,
there is no PFD or EMS available anymore.
Due to the generator failure, the full power of the electric system is not
available anymore and the aircraft batteries will discharge. As soon as
these batteries are fully discharged, the entire avionic system incl.
radio. This does impede safe continuation of flight, but makes any
contact with ATC impossible. Depending on the actual situation,
additional electric consumers may be switched off by releasing its
circuit breaker to safe electric energy.
After a double generator failure, the aircraft is not fed with electric
energy anymore. In such a situation, all systems are powered by the
aircraft batteries only.
WARNING
Double generator failure leads to engine failure. Engine
restart is possible. Remaining flight time is not more
than 30min. Thereafter the engine will definitely and
finally quit.
