After sending control signals to regulate fuel flow, what is the next step for an EEC?

Shutting down the engine if the target is not met
Receiving feedback from engine systems
Notifying maintenance crews
Opening all fuel valves

The correct answer is: Receiving feedback from engine systems

The next step for an Electronic Engine Control (EEC) after sending control signals to regulate fuel flow is to receive feedback from the engine systems. This feedback is essential for the EEC to assess whether the desired engine parameters, such as thrust, temperature, and fuel-air mixture, are being achieved. By analyzing this data, the EEC can make ongoing adjustments to control parameters, ensuring optimal engine performance and responsiveness to changing conditions. This feedback loop is crucial for maintaining stability and efficiency in engine operation, enabling the EEC to fine-tune actions continually based on real-time operational data.
