23
Q

What is the function of the positive and negative pressure relief valves

A

Protect the fuselage against excessive pressure differential

24
Q

If cruise altitude is unavailable from the FMC in AUTO the cabin altitude controllers assume what altitude?

A

39,000ft

25
Q

The cabin altitude limiter closes both outflow valves if cabin altitude exceeds what altitude?

A

11,000ft

26
Q

Why does the cabin altitude decrease to slightly below the FMC planned landing altitude in AUTO

A

The slight altitude difference assures a small positive pressurization at touchdown

27
Q

With the PACK Control Selectors in NORM, Pack controller A or B is selected:

A

Automatically on alternating flights

28
Q

If an ENGINE BLEED switch is selected OFF, what happens?

A

Bleed air, HP valve, PRV close the PRV will reopen if Nacelle Anti -ice, or reverse thrust are selected

29
Q

How many Pack Temp Controllers are available?

A

2 identical, A and B

30
Q

Assuming the right duct has been isolated (right isolation and bleed air 3 and 4 off).
What bleed system function are not available?

A
  • Hyd 4 demand pump;
  • Right primary LE flaps;
  • Right wing anti-ice;
  • Hyd 3 and 4 system reservoir pressure.
31
Q

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?

A

Demand pump commanded to run and demand pump output pressure is low.

32
Q

If the left or right duct section is isolated, how are the respective leading edge flaps operated?

A

Electrically

33
Q

If the center duct section is isolated on the freighter, what components would no longer be available?

A
  • Master trim air;
  • Aft cargo heat;
  • Cargo smoke detection;
  • Potable water;
  • Lower Lobe Trim Air.
34
Q

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?

A

1 PRV

35
Q

An engine Bleed Air SYS FAULT light illuminated on the Bleed Air Overhead panel would indicate one of the following?

A

Bleed air overheat

36
Q

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?

A

4 engine bleed air valve, PRV, HP

37
Q

During high power settings, air is supplied from which engine bleed section?

A

IP engine section

38
Q

Which system is inoperative if the Left or Right Bleed Duct section is isolated?

A

LE flaps primary operation
and
Wing Anti-ice.

39
Q

Which system is inoperative if the Center Bleed Duct section is isolated?

A

Freighter cargo smoke detection

40
Q

Which Bleed Duct section has overheat detection?

A

R, L, C

41
Q

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?

A

Heated air is exhausted to the FLL via the Inboard Exhaust Valve

42
Q

What will cause the Bleed SYS FAULT light to illuminate?

A

Overheat, overpressure, HP/PRV open when commanded closed.

43
Q

With the aircraft on the ground, moving the EQUIP COOLING selector to STBY does what?

A

HP, PRV, Bleed air valve

45
Q

Which of the following use engine bleed air for operation?

A
  • Reversers
  • LE flaps
  • Cargo smoke detection (Freighter)

A

Side, FLL, ALL cargo doors

47
Q

If cabin pressure becomes excessive what will happen

The cabin altitude limiter closes both outflow valves

50
Q

If cabin altitude exceeds 10000’ what will happen

A

EICAS warning appears, Master warning illuminates, warning siren aural sounds

51
Q

In Cabin Altitude Controller cruise mode, the maximum cabin altitude is normally what?

A

8,000’

52
Q

Pressurization control is what?

A

Fully automatic once route and cruise altitude are entered and executed

53
Q

Positioning the EQUIP COOLING selector to OVRD does what?

A

Allows differential pressure to draw conditioned air across the E&E bays via the Smoke Override Valve

54
Q

What conditions will cause the EQUIP COOLING system to go to closed loop operation?

A
  • Supply or Exhaust fan failure;
  • FLL temp less than 50F;
  • Main Deck Cargo Fire switch armed.
55
Q

A

Heated air exhausted from the E&E compartment heats the forward cargo compartment

56
Q

What is the normal position of the Left and Right isolation valves?

A

Both open
