In normal mode, if the thrust lever is advanced to the forward stop, the EEC will do what?

In normal mode, if the thrust lever is advanced to the forward stop, the EEC will do what?

• A. Increase thrust to maximum
• B. Limit thrust to the maximum certified thrust rating for current conditions
• C. Ignore lever position
• D. Reduce thrust to idle

Answer: (B)

When you move the thrust lever to the forward stop, you’re signaling the maximum thrust you want, but the engine’s Electronic Engine Control (EEC) will still keep the engine within safe, certified limits. The EEC compares the commanded thrust to the maximum thrust allowed for the current conditions (altitude, temperature, engine state, etc.) and clamps the output to that limit. So the EEC will deliver thrust up to the maximum certified value for the present conditions, not beyond it, and not ignore the lever position. It also won’t drop to idle just because the lever is fully forward.
