"Flaps > 0 in flt and Flaps in transit (magenta on EICAS) on ground, will run ADP's. This is what I originally said!!!!"
There was probably still room for abiguity, Denzil (at least in my mind
). i.e. Flaps > 0 can mean
1. Flap lever greater than zero
2. TE flap position greater than zero
3. Any flap greater than zero
4. Etc...
Yes, GE/P&W-powered 744's have both "flaps out of up logic" AND "flaps in transit logic" but, unfortunately, the "out of up" logic masks the flaps in transit logic. I'm wondering how the flaps in transit logic behaves by itself (as on the RR-powered aircraft).
"The FCU's will still signal the ADP's to run in Primary Electric mode. as for the logic, it must be simple it's a Boeing "
As a maintenance engineer, that's the way (ah hah) I like it
"By the way any jobs going in Oz????"
If there is/was, I'd say chances are that most jobs will be/have already been swallowed up by ex-Ansett personnel (after Ansett's collapse).
Cheers.
