Air Systems Flashcards
Temperature range for the FLT DECK temperature seletor
65F-85F
The EQUIP COOLING selector is in NORM, the aircraft is on the ground, engines not running, and OAT is greater that 45F, what happens
Heated air is exhausted overboard via the ground exhaust valve
The forward equipment cooling system provides cooling air for flight deck equipment and the Electrical and Electronic (E&E) compartment racks. The Aft Equipment Cooling system is what?
Fully automatic
The AFT LOWER LOBE target temperature is displayed in magenta on the ECS synoptic when?
The LLCCAFR switch is moved from OFF to LOW AFT
The AFT LOWER LOBE temp selector is active when?
The LLCCAFR switch is moved from OFF to the LOW AFT position
The FWD LOWER LOBE target temp is displayed in magenta on the ECS synoptic when? When is the FWD LOWER LOBE temp selector active?
The LLCCAFR switch is moved from OFF to LOW FWD position
The PACK SYS FAULT light illuminates for what?
Pack overheat or other system fault
The zone SYS FAULT light illuminates for what?
A Zone Duct overheat
The AFT CARGO HT switch is normally OFF for engine start in order to do what
Increase the amount of bleed air available for engine start
Under normal conditions, all 3 packs will go to high flow when?
If the HI FLOW switch is pressed ON during cruise and after engine start to cruise altitude
If 1 pack is OFF, the other 2 packs automatically go to high flow. Two pack in high flow do what?
Burn less fuel than 3 packs in normal flow
What indication would the crew see in the event of a cabin overpressurization
- Pack 2 shuts down;
and - Cabin differential pressure indication is displayed on the Primary EICAS in red
How many temperature zones are their in the Freighter
7
The aircraft is on the ground, 2 or more packs are ON, one or more engines operating on each wing, LLCCAFR switch is OFF, what happens?
The ground exhaust valve closes
What is the temperature range for the MAIN DECK temp selectors and the LOWER LOBE temp selectors
40 - 85F
Selecting the pack High Flow switch to ON in cruise would increase fuel burn by how much?
0.3% per pack
Why is the Aft Cargo Heat switch left OFF until the AFTER START flow?
To provide more airflow for engine start
On the ground, with the engines not operating, the Equipment Cooling selector in NORM and the OAT is 75F what is the position of the ground exhaust valve?
Open
In flight with the Equipment Cooling selector in OVRD what provides the airflow for equipment cooling?
Cabin differential pressure
Inflight if the
L L C C A F R selector is in the:
FWD LOW and the FWD LOWER LOBE temp selector is set to 45F.
What is the configuration of the cooling equipment?
- The inboard exhaust valve is closed;
and - Equipment cooling air is recirculated in a closed loop mode.
When does the equipment cooling system configure for flight?
When one or more engines on each wing are operating
What does the advisory EICAS message
TEMP CARGO HEAT indicate?
Overheat detected in aft cargo compartment when aft cargo heat system is operating
What is the function of the positive and negative pressure relief valves
Protect the fuselage against excessive pressure differential
If cruise altitude is unavailable from the FMC in AUTO the cabin altitude controllers assume what altitude?
39,000ft
The cabin altitude limiter closes both outflow valves if cabin altitude exceeds what altitude?
11,000ft
Why does the cabin altitude decrease to slightly below the FMC planned landing altitude in AUTO
The slight altitude difference assures a small positive pressurization at touchdown
With the PACK Control Selectors in NORM, Pack controller A or B is selected:
Automatically on alternating flights
If an ENGINE BLEED switch is selected OFF, what happens?
Bleed air, HP valve, PRV close the PRV will reopen if Nacelle Anti -ice, or reverse thrust are selected
How many Pack Temp Controllers are available?
2 identical, A and B
Assuming the right duct has been isolated (right isolation and bleed air 3 and 4 off).
What bleed system function are not available?
- Hyd 4 demand pump;
- Right primary LE flaps;
- Right wing anti-ice;
- Hyd 3 and 4 system reservoir pressure.
If the left or right duct section is isolated, why would the HYD PRESS DEMAND EICAS alert message display during approach if the respective hyd demand pump selector was left in AUTO?
Demand pump commanded to run and demand pump output pressure is low.
If the left or right duct section is isolated, how are the respective leading edge flaps operated?
Electrically
If the center duct section is isolated on the freighter, what components would no longer be available?
- Master trim air;
- Aft cargo heat;
- Cargo smoke detection;
- Potable water;
- Lower Lobe Trim Air.
Assuming the #1 Engine Bleed Valve has be closed per the MEL and no abnormals are present, if the Nacelle Antiice is turned on for the #1 engine, which bleed system valves open?
1 PRV
An engine Bleed Air SYS FAULT light illuminated on the Bleed Air Overhead panel would indicate one of the following?
Bleed air overheat
With engines running and no abnormals in the pneumatic system, if the #4 engine bleed switch is selected off, which bleed system valve(s) close?
4 engine bleed air valve, PRV, HP
During high power settings, air is supplied from which engine bleed section?
IP engine section
Which system is inoperative if the Left or Right Bleed Duct section is isolated?
LE flaps primary operation
and
Wing Anti-ice.
Which system is inoperative if the Center Bleed Duct section is isolated?
Freighter cargo smoke detection
Which Bleed Duct section has overheat detection?
R, L, C
With the EQUIP COOLING selector switch is NORM and the aircraft on the ground without the engines running and the OAT is less than 45F what happens?
Heated air is exhausted to the FLL via the Inboard Exhaust Valve
What will cause the Bleed SYS FAULT light to illuminate?
Overheat, overpressure, HP/PRV open when commanded closed.
With the aircraft on the ground, moving the EQUIP COOLING selector to STBY does what?
Configures the equipment cooling system for flight
