Q

What temp will stby W set on the pack control knob?

A

STBY W sets the pack so the outlet temperature is controlled by ram air flowing across the pack heat exchangers. This pro-duces the warmest output possible without causing an internal overheat

Q

Describe the PACK HIGH FLOW operation?

A

Ground operation whenever the APU or ground source is supplying air for air conditioning (both packs increase).

  1. Flight if one pack is off or inoperative.

The pack high flow system is inhibited when:
1. Wing anti-ice is on and only one engine is supplying bleed air.

  1. An engine is inoperative.
  2. Flaps are not in the up position.
  3. CARGO FIRE/DEPR switch is pushed

A

2.. Auto and manual

36
Q

A

1

37
Q

index mark on the pressurization control indicates what?

A

Pressurization rate

500 for climb and 300 for descent

38
Q

Can you change the rate of airplane pressurization setting?

A

Yes.. Using the cabin altitude auto rate control dial

39
Q

Does the auto pressure controllers have separate motors for controlling te outflow valve?

A

Yes. They are independent systems

40
Q

When does the airplane enter cruise mode?

A

The pressurization cruise mode is established when the airplane altitude remains constant for one minute.

41
Q

When does the airplane enter descent mode?

A

When the airplane descends more than 500 feet in the cruise mode, the cabin enters a descent mode.

42
Q

How does the airplane get back into the climb mode after an intermediate level off for more than a minute?

A

Once the airplane climbs more than 500 ft it goes back into the normal climb schedule

43
Q

What does the outflow valve do after landing?

A

It opens to slowly depressurize the airplane

44
Q

What test does the pressurization system do after each landing?

A

A self test of the alternate controller

45
Q

What does the cabin auto inop light mean?

A

CABIN AUTO INOP, indicates both Auto 1 and Auto 2 cabin altitude controllers are inoperative

46
Q

What happens to the outflow valve when both auto controllers fail?

A

Freezes in the last position until manual control is taken

47
Q

When does the red cabin altitude light illuminate?

A

Cabin altitude above 10000ft

48
Q

When does the red cabin altitude light extinguish?

A

Cabin altitude back below 8500ft

49
Q

In auto mode, what does the outflow valve do once you go above 11000 ft cabin altitude?

A

In automatic control, if the cabin altitude climbs above 11,000 feet, the outflow valve is automati-cally closed by an aneroid switch. Manual control is still available through the manual selector. When cabin altitude descends below 9,500 feet, the aneroid switches open and the outflow valve circuits are restored.

50
Q

What does the manifold interconnect valve do?

A

The manifold interconnect valve supplies conditioned air or E/E cooling air to the flight deck instruments based on the temperature of pack air, when one or both packs are operating in flight.

51
Q

What does the smoke/override valve do?

A

smoke/override valve allows cabin pressurization to supply cooling flow or exhaust smoke from the forward E/E as air is vented overboard

52
Q

How many fans normally supply cooling air for avianics?

A

2

Both work on the ground and only 1 in the air

53
Q

What happens if one avionics cooling fan goes out?

A

The other one automatically takes over

54
Q

Which are the 2 fans for equipment cooling?

A

Supply fan and exhaust fan

55
Q

What mode do you select if smoke is detected in the equipment cooling system?

A

Override

56
Q

When will the NO COOLING light illuminate?

A

If no airflow is detected thru the e&e bay after 1 minute of selecting override mode

57
Q

What happens to the supply and exhaust fans when u select the ovrd mode?

A

They are shutoff

58
Q

Where does the air for equipment and avionics cooling come from when you select the ovrd mode?

A

The conditioning manifold valve opens and you get conditioned air

59
Q

In auto mode in flight, which fan is normally running?

A

Exhaust fan

60
Q

In stby mode in flight, which fan is normally running?

A

Supply fan

61
Q

In ovrd mode, which is the only valve that will be open?

A

The smoke/ovrd valve

62
Q

Will the ground crew horn sound if ovrd is selected on the ground?

A

Yes

63
Q

When does the valve light come on?

A

When any of the inboard or overboard valves are not in the signaled position.

64
Q

What happens to the inboard and overboard valves when you select stby?

A

They go to the inboard configuration. The inboard opens and overboard closes. The valve light goes away

65
Q

What does the OVRHT light mean?

A

The OVHT light and the EICAS advisory message, FWD EQPT OVHT, indicate high temperature or lack of airflow in the equipment cooling system

66
Q

How many cooling fans are there for the aft equipment bay?

A
  1. One runs continuously. When one fails the other take over.
67
Q

What happens to the aft equipment bay cooling fans if the cargo fire/ depr switch is pressed?

A

They are shut off

68
Q

Which are the two valves used for each cargo heat section?

A

Shutoff valve and heat control valve

69
Q

What are the two sources for cargo heat?

A

Cabin air and bleed air

70
Q

What temp in the cargo compartment will cause the heat shutoff valve to close?

A

90f

71
Q

Can you get a cargo overheat light in flight?

A

No its inhibited

72
Q

When is cargo overheat light inhibited on the ground?

A

If the cargo heat switches are not turned on and the cargo compartment reaches 90f or more.

73
Q

What does the vent position on the bulk cargo heat selector do?

A

It deactivates the bulk cargo heat system

74
Q

What is the range on the landing altitude selector?

A

-1000 to 14000

75
Q

What fans run on the ground in regards to the equipment cooling system in auto mode?

A

Both supply and exhaust fans run.

76
Q

With regard to the equipment cooling sytem, if you are in auto mode and in the air, which fan runs?

A

Normally the exhaust fan runs.

If the exhaust fan fails, the supply fan takes over.

77
Q

In regard to equipment cooling system, if you are in the air and you are operating in standby mode, which fan runs?

A

The supply fan will be signaled to run and will turn off the exhaust fan. However, during ops, the supply fan fails, the exhaust fan will take over.

78
Q

What happens to both the supply fan and exhaust fan in override mode?

A

They are both turned off

79
Q

What happens to the valves in the equipment cooling system during override operation?

A

They go into closed circuit mode. Everything will close except the smoke override valve will open.

80
Q

In regards to equipment cooling, what will the valve positions be if you press cargo fire depress switch in flight?

A

It will be in the same closed circuit mode as in auto in flight. Everything will be closed except the smoke override valve will open to slowly depressurize the cabin.

The normal fan logic applies. The exhaust fan runs as in auto mode.
