Q

Will PACK continue operation with AUTO TEMP CONTROLLER FAIL and what are indications?

A

YES, same as PACK HI OUTLET TEMP:

  • Raises TEMP to minimum 65F via FAN
31
Q

How is CABIN ALTITUDE MODE selected?

How is it powered?

A

Manually via switch on panel before every leg.*

  • AUTO = AC
  • MANUAL = DC

<em>*FO sets based on PM/PF</em>

32
Q

CABIN ALT CONTROL AUTO RATE index mark?

A

A

FL350 (8.6PSI)

*will maintain 8.6PSI for altitudes above

34
Q

When does PRESS system enter cruise mode?

A

When altitude remains constant for 1 minute.

35
Q

The PRESS system maintains cruise mode until?

A

A climb or descent of more than 500’

36
Q

When does pressurization system enter descent to LND ALT?

A

When a descent of 1,000’ or more is initiated from cruise mode.

*schedules LND at .0125psi

37
Q

What will re-establish PRESS cruise mode?

A

A level off of more than one minute

38
Q

What happens if PRESS SYS1 or SYS2 fails?

A
