motor em marcha lenta


Explanation:
Dependendo do contexto, "redução do motor para a marcha lenta" também se aplica.

O ideal seria termos mais contexto para uma tradução mais precisa.

Ponto morto


Explanation:
Idling refers to running a vehicle's engine when the vehicle is not in motion. In brazilian portuguese, when the gear is in its initial stage we called it "ponto morto" (with the engine running or not). It is a well known expression and anyone whould understand it.

Example sentence(s):
  • Quando parar o carro no farol, coloque o câmbio está em ponto morto

Velocidade de marcha lenta do motor


Explanation:
Idle speed (or idle) is the rotational speed an engine runs at when the engine is idling, that is when the engine is uncoupled from the drive shaft and the throttle is not full forward. In combustion engines, idle speed is generally measured in revolutions per minute (rpm) of the crankshaft, and, for a jet aircraft, is measured in N2 rotor axis.
After the aircraft is with all passenger doors closed and on ground, the idle speed change the name to "ground idle". During the flight, in some flight phases, the engines can operate in a regime called "flight idle".
On the Boeing 777, two different idle modes are available and automatically selected by the EEC - Electronic Engine Control Unit.

"Minimum idle" and "approach idle."

Minimum idle has a lower thrust setting for ground operation and most phases of flight.

Approach idle has a higher thrust setting, and therefore, decreases acceleration time for a go-around.

Approach idle is automatically selected in flight when:
- The flaps are commanded to the landing position
or when:
- Engine ant-ice is on.
