Question 6

6. When one pack enters standby cooling mode and the other is operating normally, the pack in standby may automatically shutdown at ___ and will restart when ___.

Answer 6

6. At lower altitudes or higher outside air temperatures when ambient conditions permit standby cooling.

Question 7

7. Air from the lower recirculation fans is mixed with ___ before entering supply ducts. Air from the upper recirculation fans feeds directly into the ___.

Answer 7

7. Pack air
   Supply ducts.

Question 8

8. The target temperatures of each passenger cabin temperature zone can be modified ___ degrees F, within the range of ___ F to ___ F.

Answer 8

8. Plus or minus 10 degrees; 65; 85

Question 9

9. The FLIGHT DECK TEMP selector sets flight deck temperature between ___ degrees F and ___ degrees F.

Answer 9

9. 65, 85

Question 10

10. The HIGH setting on the bulk cargo temperature selector turns on bulk ventilation fan, which provides for animal carriage. What does an overheat in the aft or bulk compartment cause? Can heat be restored?

Answer 10

10. The system to shut down automatically and an EICAS advisory message CARGO HEAT (AFT/BULK). Cargo heat to the affected compartment cannot be restored inflight.

12. The ground crew call horn in the wheel well sounds.

Question 13

13. In flight smoke evacuation of the flight deck and equipment cooling of the lower forward pressurized section is provided by the equipment cooling system override mode. Under what conditions does this override mode operate automatically?

Answer 13

13. The EQUIP COOLING switch is OFF, or
    In flight, both supply fans fail, or
    In flight, low airflow is detected, or
    Smoke is detected in the forward equipment cooling system or the forward equipment ventilation system, or
    The FWD CARGO FIRE ARM switch is ARMED.
