A320 SFCC/Flap SYS 1 FAULT
Hi MCDU button pushers
ECAM and FCOM indicate : ENG 1 APPR IDLE ONLY with SFCC Flap SYS 1 Fault. Trying to understand why this is so. Any help greatly appreciated |
Hi, not MCDU button pusher, at least not in flight :) but with SFCC1(2) faulty EIU for affected engine lose information about flap lever position. In such case Fadec commands APPROACH idle for all air phases of flight instead of MODULATED idle. Not sure how it works on ground, but I expect normal modulating idle.

EIU
Thanks Level.
Care to postulate a theory as to why a manufacturer would want a higher Idle in the case of a Flap fault? (Trying to figure out airbus philosophy is probably stupid but I'm trying to think of a plausible reason) |

Ahaaaa
Thanks Golden rivet. That makes perfect sense. After 7 years of flying this bucket I'm still learning new tricks (in fact maybe I learnt it years ago and memory dumped it for something else!)
|
Also rivet I just had a look in our FCOM (IAE) and there's no 70-40-40! Subsequently found the CFM via google. Bloody airbus!

Thanks for experience,Nightstop.
Yes, LGCU-air/gnd issues can make your day hard...I am trying not to dispatch aircrafts under LGCIU MEL for years, just for my personal safety :) |
