POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROL (PMC):

It has throttle system or thrust control that integrate aircraft and
engine electronic and hydro-mechanical computer and sensors to precisely
compute thrust level desired. By selection of push button of aircraft thrust
rating panel, the position of throttle lever until throttle cursor needle of RPM
(N1) indicator aligned with computer position level computed.
 Power Management Control resolves into 3 categories:
1, Fuel Flow Control and Regulation,
2, Compressor Airflow Control,
3, Turbine Clearance Control.
For this, fuel system components are:
1, MEC (Main Engine Control) &
2, PMC (Power Management Control).

1. MEC:
Hydro-mechanical computer and valving system together provide
1, Fuel flow SOV opening/closing,
2, Fuel metering,
3, Compressor airflow control,
4, Engine over-speed,
5, Engine over-pressure,
6, Engine over-temperature limiting.

2. PMC:
An electronic digital computer interfacing aircraft throttle system, thrust
computer and N1 indicator. It has authority to trim or to adjust MEC fuel flow
to maintain N1 RPM on target.

3. Detached Sensor of MEC:

1, Hydro-mechanical N1 sensor required for N1 governing of fuel flow.
2, Hydro-mechanical T2 sensor give sense for speed schedule.
3, CIT sensor for max fuel scheduling and compressor control.

4. Detached Sensor of PMC:

1, Electrical T2 sensor required for rating schedule.
2, Electrical N1 sensor required for trimming MEC & to control fuel flow.
3, Throttle Resolver required for cursor positioning on N1 indicator.
 5. Other Detached Components:
1, Dedicated Alternator for PMC power & N2 indicator.
2, VSV & VBV actuator of MEC for compressor control.
3, VSV & VBV feedback cables for compressor control.
4, ACC signal valves for HPT, LPT casing cooling.

Operation & Description of MEC:

MEC is made by Wood Governor Company & it is bolted on AGB forward
faces.

there to install rigging pin which is 3/16 dia pin.
Range of throttle,
Throttle total travelling degree = 0 to 130.
a. 0 to 38 = reverse thrust operation range.
b. 38 to 56 = ideal thrust operation range.
c. 56 to 130 = forward thrust operation range.

POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROL:

1. Manufactured by General Electric Company, USA.
2. PMC is shock mounted to fan frame at 7O clock position. It is digital control
computer and its electrical power is supply by dedicated alternator which is
installed on AGB, which provides power to PMC.
3. In case of ground testing of PMC, 28V DC supply from the aircraft bus bar.
PMC is air-cooled for long duration life and cooled by ambient air.
4. Electric cables connection to PMC, one by aircraft interface and one by
engine interface connector.
5. Aircraft interface connector cables includes ARINC data bus, aircraft discrete
input, ground test power input, throttle lever angle (TLA) resolver input, and
PMC enable/disable input.
6. Engine interface: electrical T2 sensor, electrical N1 sensor, alternator input,
