Falcon2000EX questions
Gents a few tech questions about regading the Falcon2000EX. Be helpful if you guys can help out...
1. Are the DISCHARGE No 2 for both engines ie ENG 1 Discharge2 and ENG 2 Discharge 2 always armed as long as the BAT1 is plugged in?? I was told in Ground school that that is the case but cant seem to find this in the literature.
2. In case both engines fail. Do we still have the ECL? Can we configure the MDU to still show the ECL? and also since the NIC/PROC have separate batteries they should work...am I right?
3. We were told that APU has to be shutdown before takeoff. Again whats the reason specially when we are told we can restart it if we lose an engine on T/O above TOSA. Whats to prevent one from keeping it running for T/O..
One suggestion was that it was because of the stress on the APU door for the intake on take off. but considering there is no limitation mentioned for the door in terms of airspeed, this does not seem possible.
4. Is the weather radar (Honeywell Primus 880) the same for the F900EX and the F2000EX?
And the final question
5. Which is more of interest to me as a Engineer.
The F2000EX is the only aircraft I know off that directly (in way of speaking) gets electrical power as DC (since it has Rectifier Alternators in the Accesories attached to the engines).and where-ever AC is needs DC is converted again to AC.
Any other aircraft that do this and why??? whats the reason??
Thank you
