A method of operating a
lubrication system (220, 320, 420, 520, 620, 720, 820, 920, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700) for a
turbine engine (10, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900) having a fan (38, 202) and one or more rotating components (210, 810). The
lubrication system (220, 320, 420, 520, 620, 720, 820, 920, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700) includes a primary
lubrication system (222, 422, 822, 922, 1218, 1518) and an auxiliary lubrication system (240, 340, 440, 540, 640, 740, 840, 940, 1260, 1360, 1460, 1560). The method includes supplying
lubricant (1201) to the one or more rotating components (210, 810) from the primary lubrication system (222, 422, 822, 922, 1218, 1518) during a normal operation of the
turbine engine (10, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900), determining whether at least one of a fuel pressure is less than a fuel
pressure threshold or a
hydraulic pressure is less than a
hydraulic pressure threshold, and activating the auxiliary lubrication system (240, 340, 440, 540, 640, 740, 840, 940, 1260, 1360, 1460, 1560) to supply the
lubricant (1201) to the one or more rotating components (210, 810) from the auxiliary lubrication system (240, 340, 440, 540, 640, 740, 840, 940, 1260, 1360, 1460, 1560) when the fuel pressure is less than the fuel
pressure threshold or the
hydraulic pressure is less than the hydraulic
pressure threshold.
