29
What does pushing in of the PACK 1 push button on the AIR CONDITIONING / PNEUMATIC panel accomplish
Manually closes the pack flow control valve | Pushed in allows automatic operation by the AMS

turns off BOTH recirculation fans
31
If all the buttons are dark and pushed in on the AIR CONDITIONING / PNEUMATIC panel, what is taking place
Normal function of the AMS allowing automatic operation of the AMS
32
On the AIR CONDITIONING / PNEUMATIC panel, what does pushing out of the BLEED buttons accomplish?
Closes the respective Bleed Valves

Pushing the DUMP button a second time returns the system to normal
34
What is the DUMP button for?
For rapid cabin depressurization
35
What does the DUMP button do?
opens the outflow valve and commanding the packs and recirculation fans to off
36
The LFE can only be adjusted under what conditions
If the MODE Selector knob is in LFE | commands changes in 100 foot increments
37
When would the CABIN ALTITUDE INDICATION on the EICAS indicate GREEN, AMBER, and RED
Green normal range Amber cautionary range Red warning range:
38
On the ECS synoptic page what does the OFV at the top right corner indicate?
Out Flow Valve indication. | It is actual position of the outflow valve
39
If there is no arrow at the OFV indicator, what is the condition?
If the signal is invalid, the pointer is removed
40
On the ECS page what does a AMBER flow line represent?
an Overheat condition
41
Explain what transpires between low pressure and high pressure engine bleed sources
The AMS controller automatically selects between low and high pressure air. That is the reason we must be careful when advancing the throttle during engine start. As a result the AMS controller might select low pressure air thus losing the pressure required for engine start.
42
If there is a bleed leak, overpressure or fail condition, what does the controller do?
It shuts down the bleed air system by closing the engine bleed valve.
43
If anti ice is selected while the APU is providing bleed air, what does the AMS controller do?
It shuts the APU bleed valve
44
Where are the Overheat Detection Zones?
APU Bleed Slat anti-ice supply ducts Bleed system ducts and air conditioning ducts
45
Can the APU be used for anti-ice?
NO
46
Explain the Cabin Warm Up Mode
... ??? ....
47
What procedure is used to avoid fog in the cockpit?
Recirculation Fans to OFF
48
The Recirculation Fans are commanded OFF
``` Both Pack Off Cabin warm up mode with the APU on Cargo bay fire signal Dump button pressed Smoke is detected in the Recirculation Bay ```
49
The Forward Electronic bay has how many fans?
3 fans
50
How many fans does the Center Electronic Bay have?
3 fans
51
How may fans does the Aft Electronic Bay have?
No fans due to air flowing from the cabin
52
If a fire is detected in the forward cargo bay...
The SOV is closed and the fan is turned off, thus preventing HALON from entering the cabin.
53
Emergency Ram Air Ventilation is commanded open when?
If BOTH packs are failed or commanded OFF and the aircraft altitude is less than FL250
54
During smoke removal, when is the Ram Air Ventilation Valve commanded OPEN??
When the the DUMP valve is pressed as both ECS packs are commanded OFF
55
What are the RAIDs?
Ram Air Inlet Door
56
What do the RAIDs do??
They modulate to optimize the quantity of ram air sent through the packs, thus decreasing drag and fuel consumption.
57
The RAIDS are full open when??
``` On the ground until reaching 17,500 ft Airplane is below 17,500 on descent Pressure DUMP Button is activated RAT deployed Anti-Ice System is activated ```
58
What does the EICAS message RAM AIR FAULT indicate?
In flight a RAID failure when it is more than 10% open only after landing. On the ground when the RAID failure of more than 10% open.
59
What does the EICAS message PACK 1/2 FAIL indicate?
a RAID failure in flight when it is more than 90% closed.
60
What is happening on the ground when BOTH EICAS messages PACK 1/2 FIL and RAM AIR FAULT are present?
A RAID failure when it is more than 90% closed

The ECS OFF signal closes both Packs during go around under what circumstances?
One engine inop and APU bleed is unavailable Thrust levers set to MAX and APU bleed is unavailable Thrust levers set to MAX and Wing Ice Protection is ON
64
The Packs are commanded ON under what circumstances
Thrust lever reduction below TO/GA Takeoff with 2 engines operating above 500 AGL Aircraft is above 9700 for takeoff field elevation below 8000 and one engine inop Aircraft is above 15,000 for takeoff field elevation above 8000 ft and one engine inop Aircraft is above 9700 ft during go around incase one engine inop
65

70
almost complete

71
What happens when the DUMP guarded push button is pressed?
Provides rapid cabin depressurization by opening the outflow valve, commanding the packs and recirc fans to shutoff.
72
If a bleed leak is detected what happens to the engine bleed valve?
It closes
73
What are the conditions that the AMS controller will automatically close the engine bleed valve?
Overpressure Bleed Leak Fail condition
74
If there is a right bleed air leak, will the APU bleed valve open?
YES as it can be isolated by the XBLEED valve
75
If there is left engine bleed, will the APU bleed valve open?
NO
76
When does the XBLEED valve open?
When there is bleed air from one side only APU BLEED pushbutton is pushed out for main engine start Engine Start #2 in the air Engine Start #1 in the air with the APU bleed off No Bleed Leak, unless starting an engine
77
If the is a bleed leak detected, will the XBLEED VALVE OPEN?
NO... unless using it for engine start; then YES
78
If the XBLEED fails open what happens to the engine bleed valves?
Engine Bleed #1 will be commanded closed if the XBLEED valve fails open
79
When does the AMS command the APU bleed to close when the APU is operating?
When above 50 kts on takeoff
80
When is the slat anti ice available?
Above 40 kts on takeoff
