AIR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Flashcards
What does Air Management System consist of?
1) The Pneumatic System
2) The Environmental Control System
PACK 1/2 PB?
PUSH IN: allows automatic operation of AMS, opens the respective pack flow control valve
PUSH OUT: manually closes the respective pack flow control valve
CKPT CONTROLLER
PAX CABIN CONTROLLER
Controls cockpit temperature
Controls cabin temperature (ATTND — allows temperature to be regulated from FA panel)
RECIRC BUTTON
PUSH IN: automatic operation by the AMS, turns on both fans according to system logic
PUSH OUT: turns off both recirculation fans
XBLEED BUTTON
PUSH IN: allows automatic operation, opens the CROSSBLEED VALVE according to the system logic
PUSH OUT: manually closes the CROSSBLEED VALVE
BLEED 1/2/APU BUTTON
PUSH IN: automatic operation by AMS, opens respective ENGINE BLEED VALVES
PUSH OUT: manually closes respective ENGINE BLEED VALVES
Amber stripped bar on BLEED-buttons
Leak detected
DUMP BUTTON
Provides rapid depressurisation, opens outflow valve, stops packs&recirculation fans
When in MAN MODE outflow valve will not open
CABIN ALT CONTROLLER [DOWN-STOP-UP]
DOWN — closes outflow valve
STOP — normal position
UP — opens outflow valve
PRES MODE SELECTOR [MAN-AUTO-LFE CONTROL]
MAN — manual control of outflow valve
AUTO — automatic control of outflow valve
LFE CONTROL — airfield elev input + AUTO
LFE CONTROLLER [DOWN-STOP-UP]
DOWN — decreases the LFE in 100 ft
STOP — normal position
UP — increases the LFE in 100 ft
Works only if PRES MODE SELECTOR is in “LFE CTRL” position
Which information does EICAS AMS contain?
1) CABIN ALTITUDE (feet) (GREEN/AMBER/RED/AMBER DASHED)
2) CABIN RATE OF CHANGE (FPM) (GREEN/AMBER/AMBER DASHED)
3) DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE INDICATION (psi) (GREEN/AMBER/RED/AMBER DASHED)
4) LANDING FIELD ELEVATION (feet):
— GREEN — FMS
— CYAN with “M” — MANUAL
— AMBER DASHED
Sources of bleed air?
1) 1/2 ENGINE
2) APU
Bleed air consumers
1) Environmental Control System
2) Engine start
3) Engine/Wing anti-ice
4) Water pressurization
From what stages does the bleed air intake?
LOW PRESSURE — 6th
HIGH PRESSURE — 10th
