Q:​ What logic controls​ the​ X-Bleed valve​ when the​ X-BLEED switch is in​ AUTO?​ ​

A

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-36-10-40)​ ​

  • 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

AIR CONDITIONING PANEL

Q:​ Describe​ how the​ Air Conditioning System Controllers​ regulate​ temperature?​

A

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-21-10-30)​ ​

  • 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​ by​ the​ trim air valves ​to maintain the​ desired zone​ temperatures.

Q

AIR CONDITIONING PANEL

Q:​ What occurs​ when an​ active​ lane​ of​ an Air​ Conditioning System Controller​ fails?​ ​

A

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-21-10-40)​ ​

The​ second​ lane​ takes over​

18
Q

AIR CONDITIONING PANEL

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

A

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-21-10-40)​ ​

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

19
Q

AIR CONDITIONING PANEL

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

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-21-10-30) ​

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 ≥ 70​ knots. ​ ​
  • Opens 20​ seconds after speed < 70​ knots​

Q

AIR CONDITIONING PANEL

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

A

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-21-20-40)​ ​

The​ affected​ pack​ will operate as a heat exchanger​

21
Q

AIR CONDITIONING PANEL

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

A

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-21-10-20)​

The​ pack​ flow control valve will​ close​ automatically​

22
Q

AIR CONDITIONING PANEL

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

A

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-36-10-20)​ ​

APU​ Bleed​

23
Q

AIR CONDITIONING PANEL

Q:​ When does​ the Lav/Galley​ Extract​ Fan operate?​ ​

A
