Failure of engine control system
If a failure of the engine control system (Trijekt) will occur during operation, the
engine will stop and the respective error message with further details will be
shown on and stored in the power plant operation unit.
The procedure for a failure of the engine control system corresponds to the
procedure described on page 3.7.1 and 3.7.2 in case of an engine failure.
Failure of the electric power supply for the engine
A defect of the electric power supply may occur for two reasons. The respective
error message will be displayed on and stored in the power plant control unit:
1. Failure of the generator:
With a defective generator the electrical power supply for the engine control
system and the fuel injection is then only provided by the engine batterie in use.
As soon as their capacity is depleted, the engine will stop and it will be impossible
to retract the power plant.
Because of that, stop the engine as soon as possible in case of a failure of the
generator, retract the power plant and continue the flight with retracted engine.
Note:
Under ideal circumstances (fully charged engine battery, no load because of
Avionics, normal operation of engine system) it can be assumed that the engine
will continue to run at maximum power for about 15 minutes and then retract.
