The engine data manager performs all of the following, except ____________?

• A. Monitors and processes AOA data
• B. Monitors and processes engine operating parameters
• C. Provides discreet alerts to each IAC when necessary
• D. Drives the engine instrument display

Answer: (A)

AOA data isn’t part of what the engine data manager handles. The engine data manager is focused on engine sensors and performance: it monitors and processes engine operating parameters, uses that information to assess engine health and performance, and drives the engine instrument display so you can see those metrics in real time. It also sends discreet alerts to the aircraft’s control systems (IAC) when a parameter crosses a limit. AOA data, on the other hand, comes from the air data system and relates to the aircraft’s aerodynamic conditions, not the engine itself. That is why monitoring and processing AOA data isn’t within the engine data manager’s responsibilities.
