Q

Location on Positive and Neg Relief valves on 757/767

A

757 - positive relief valve is aft left and neg relieve is fwd right
767 - two negative relief valves on each cargo door and one forward of positive relief valve.

18
Q

What makes up the air conditioning system?

A

Two packs, two controllers, mix manifold and Recirc fan

19
Q

How many compartments?

A

3 Deck, FWD and AFT

20
Q

PACK INOP light indicates?

A

Pack outlet overheat or fault in the automatic controller system

21
Q

Pack in auto position means

A

Pack flow valve is open

22
Q

Any indications of flow management for engine failure in flight deck?

A

No, all flow management is automatic with no indications

23
Q

Why is the L recirc fan guarded?

A

essential part of the equipment cooling system, remains on.

24
Q

Recirc fan inop light if…

A

Fan fails, switched off, not operating

25
Q

FWD Cargo Fire armed does what?

A

Turns both recirc fans off

26
Q

AFT Cargo Fire armed turns both recirc fans off?

A

No, just the R recirc fan.

27
Q

Does fuel consumption increase with recirc fans off?

A

Yes, slight increase in fuel consumption with each fan that is off

28
Q

What is Trim air?

A

Warm air mixed into compartments, used to differentiate between compartments. If no trim air the compartments will all maintain constant temps. Trim air is controlled with auto compartment air selector.

29
Q

Shoulder and Foot heaters work on the ground and in flight?

A

No, just in flight.

30
Q

Equipment OVHT light illuminates if…

A

Either supply fan fails or inop, overboard exhaust valve is closed with the L recirc fan failed or switched off

31
Q

Can you select another supply fan?

A

Yes ALTN can be selected manually, with some a/c this is automatic and will not receive an OVHT light

32
Q

FWD EQPT SMOKE light illuminates if smoke in the system and turns off when…

A

Both recirc fans are turned off and the slats are in the up position, PACKS to high flow when recirc fans are off, overboard exhaust valve opens

33
Q

Does the AFT equipment cooling have smoke detection?

A

NO

34
Q

-300 have how many compartment controllers

A

4, 2 backup fans for equip, if on 3rd one (Aux fan) non essential avionics and electrical equipment are subject to failure. Aux fan driven by the hydraulic driven gen.

35
Q

767 - equipment cooling is controlled how?

A

Automatically based on air temp, air/ground mode and engine operation

36
Q

767 - what does the OVRD position indicate

A

reverses airlflow and dumps it overboard. Illumintes no cooling light

37
Q

767 - OVHT light illuminates for cargo, what does that mean?

A

Valve closes because temp is high, when it returns to normal around 45 F it will open and the message will disappear

38
Q

767-Bulk Cargo Heat selector position should be ?

A

Vent - turns the vent fan on and keeps it at higher than normal temperature

39
Q

Which a/c has gasper fan?

A

767-300

40
Q

Why is the C ISOL guarded on 767?

A

to prevent damage to air pump.
