D. Both A and B are correct.
D. Both A and B are correct.
The pressurization system normally receives flight parameters: [8.20.40]
A. From the Sabre pressurization uplink.
B. From ambient pressure and the FMC flight plan data.
C. From the Landing Altitude settings on the overhead pressurization panel.
D. Pressurization entries on the AIR synoptic.
B. From ambient pressure and the FMC flight plan data.
Pressing the AIR COND RESET switch on the overhead panel (per non-normal) will:
[8.20.30]
A. Reset a failed recirculation fan.
B. Reset a failed trim air valve.
C. Reset a pack fault
D. All the above.
D. All the above.
An EICAS message of PACK MODE (L or R) indicates _______. [8.20.20]
A. The pack is operating in the Standby Cooling mode.
B. The pack may shut down at lower altitudes and higher outside air
temperatures when ambient conditions do not permit standby cooling.
C. The pack has failed and a descent to an altitude below FL250 is required.
D. A and B are correct.
D. A and B are correct.
Cabin altitude and full ventilation rates can be maintained by either outflow
valve. [8.20.40]
A. True.
B. False
A. True.
With a PACK L or PACK R message displayed on EICAS due to an overheat:

A. The pack reverts to standby cooling.
B. The pack flow rate is reduced to the minimum to keep the pack outlet
temperature at an acceptable level.
C. The pack automatically shuts down.
D. The pack automatically switches to the controller for the opposite pack if
available.
C. The pack automatically shuts down.
If the cabin temperature controller fails, the pack(s) will: [8.20.20]
A. Modulate to keep cabin temperature between 40 and 110 F.
B. Maintain cabin temperature within 15 degrees of TAT.
C. Trip and automatically shut down.
D. Maintain the last cabin temperature or 75 F.
