Abstract:
A method of testing an engine fuel supply cutoff valve includes: detecting a fuel supply cutoff command; commanding to close the fuel supply cutoff valve; commanding to hold the fuel metering valve in the open position for a predetermined time; commanding to close the fuel metering valve after the predetermined time; measuring an engine operating parameter during performance of the previous steps; and comparing the measured parameter with a predetermined threshold, so as to determine whether or not the engine operating parameter corresponds to an engine fuel supply cutoff by normal operation of the fuel supply cutoff valve.
Abstract:
A method of adjusting a fuel flow rate in a turbine engine propelling an aircraft, including: obtaining a first estimate of a flow rate of fuel injected into a combustion chamber of the turbine engine propelling an aircraft and as delivered by a fuel metering device of the turbine engine; obtaining a second estimate of the fuel flow rate, which second estimate is more accurate than the first estimate for at least one range of fuel flow rate values and being delivered by an estimator device having a flow meter; and adjusting the fuel flow rate threshold value with help of a difference evaluated between the first estimate and the second estimate, the threshold value being for use in an open loop for regulating the turbine engine.
