Q

If one BMC fails, can the other take over?

A

Yes, they are interconnected. If BMC 1 fails:
APU and ENG 1 leak detection are not monitored
ECAM APU BLEED LEAK warning is lost

Q

The PACK FLOW selector has LO, NORM and HI positions (A320). What does this allow us to do?

A

Select pack flow rates representing LO 80%, NORM 100%, and HIGH 120% of NORM

Q

If the engine bleed air in-flight is too low, what will occur?

A

Minimum idle engine speed is automatically increased to provide adequate bleed air pressure

Q

What would cause an amber FAULT light to illuminate in the PACK 1 and/or PACK 2 pushbutton (OOD)?

A

Overheat - Pack outlet
Overheat - Compressor outlet
Disagreement - Switch position disagreement with pack flow control valve
- Note: FAULT light will be illuminated when no bleed air is supplied

Q

What logic controls the X-Bleed valve when the X-Bleed switch is in AUTO?

A

When APU bleed valve is OPEN, the X-Bleed valve is open
When APU bleed valve is CLOSED, the X-Bleed valve is closed
X-Bleed also CLOSES for wing, pylon, or APU duct leak (except during engine start)

Q

Describe how the Air Conditioning System Controllers regulate temperature?

A

Basic temperature regulation: Both packs produce the required outlet temperature determined by the lowest demanded zone temperature
Optimized temperature regulation: Hot air is added to the individual zones but the trim air valves to maintain the desired zone temperatures

Q

What occurs when an active lane of an Air Conditioning System controller fails?

A

The second lane takes over

17
Q

What occurs when both lanes of an Air Conditioning System Controller fails?

A

The related pack is lost. The hot air pressure regulating valve and associated trim air valve(s) close

18
Q

How does the Air Conditioning System Controller configure its associated pack ram air inlet flap for takeoff and landing to avoid the ingestion of foreign matter?

A

Takeoff: Pack Ram Air Inlet Flap closes when takeoff power is set and the main landing gear struts are compressed.
Reopens after main landing gear strut extension
Landing: Pack Ram Air Inlet Flap closes as soon as the main landing gear struts are compressed and speed is greater than or equal to 70 knots
Opens 20 seconds after speed is less than 70 knots

19
Q

If an air cycle machine (ACM) fails, what occurs?

A

The affected pack will operated as a heat exchanger

20
Q

What effect will the engine start sequence have on the pack flow control valves?

A

The pack flow control valve will close automatically

21
Q

After engine start with the APU BLEED pushbutton ON, what source is supplying bleed air to the packs?

A

APU Bleed

22
Q

When does the LAV/Galley Extract Fan operate?

A

Continuously when electrical power is available
