Fuel cutoff testing system

FUEL CUTOFF TESTING SYSTEM A method and apparatus for controlling operation of an 5 engine (226) in an aircraft (202). A time (244) when a cutoff speed (246) for the aircraft (202) will be reached at which a flow of fuel (224) is to be stopped is identified. A delay (248) between sending a command (...

Zusammenfassung:	FUEL CUTOFF TESTING SYSTEM A method and apparatus for controlling operation of an 5 engine (226) in an aircraft (202). A time (244) when a cutoff speed (246) for the aircraft (202) will be reached at which a flow of fuel (224) is to be stopped is identified. A delay (248) between sending a command (250) to move a switch (214) to an off position (222) and the time (244) at which the engine 0 (226) ceases operation is also identified. The command (250) is sent based on the predicted time (244) and the delay (248). The command (250) causes the switch (214) to move to the off position (222) moving a fuel control switch (238) for the engine (226) of the aircraft (202) to a shut off position (242) to stop 5 the flow of fuel (224) to the engine (226).
