EPR value at sea level ISA

The Engine Pressure Ratio (EPR) value for a standard atmosphere at sea level is approximately 1.015.

N1 value at ISA sea level

The N1 value (low-pressure compressor speed) for a standard atmosphere at sea level is approximately 22.6%.

Engine 2 start procedure

Follow the same steps as Engine 1 start procedure for Engine 2.

Engine Idle Parameter

Engine parameters when the engine is at idle, including N1, EPR, N2, N3, EGT, and Fuel Flow (FF).
