Q

Where are the controls for the Forward Cargo and Bulk heat?

A

Overhead panel

25
Q

What is the source of air for the Forward Cargo heating system?

A

Forward E/E exhaust ventilation air

26
Q

How is the temperature controlled in the Forward Cargo?

A

Automatically using forward E/E exhaust air, a dedicated refrigeration unit, an in-line electric heater and a forward cargo exhaust fan

27
Q

What does selecting the FWD Cargo Flow switch to HIGH attempt to achieve?

A

To prevent or remove cargo odors from the passenger cabin

28
Q

What is the source of air for the Bulk Cargo heating?

A

Cabin air passing through a supply fan, an in-line electric heater and residual heat from the aft E/E cooling exhaust

29
Q

With AUTO selected for the Bulk Cargo temperature, how is airflow increased?

A

The bulk ventilation fan operates

30
Q

Should live animals be carried in the Aft Cargo compartment? If not, why not?

A

No, the aft compartment is not temperature controlled

31
Q

What is the source of air for the Aft Cargo heat?

A

Aft E/E cooling exhaust air

32
Q

Which areas does the Forward Equipment Cooling system provide cooling airflow?

A

Flight deck and forward E/E equipment compartment

33
Q

Which areas does the Aft Equipment Cooling system provide cooling airflow?

A

The Aft E/E equipment compartment

34
Q

With the Forward or Aft Equipment cooling system in AUTO:

a. Where is the cooling air drawn from?

A

a. Cabin air

35
Q

With the Forward or Aft Equipment cooling system in AUTO:

b. What moves the cooling air through the system?

A

b. One of two supply fans

36
Q

With the Forward or Aft Equipment cooling system in AUTO:

c. Where is the air exhausted?

A

c. A dedicated overboard vent valve or to the appropriate cargo
compartment, if it requires additional heat

37
Q

With the Forward or Aft Equipment cooling system in OVRD: -

a. How is air drawn through the system?

A

a. Cabin differential pressure draws air to create a reverse flow of air across the equipment

38
Q

With the Forward or Aft Equipment cooling system in OVRD: -

b. Where is this air exhausted?

A

b. Through the override valve to an overboard venturi

39
Q

What is achieved with the:

a. Forward Equipment Cooling switch in OVRD?

A

a. Aids smoke evacuation from the flight deck

40
Q

What is achieved with the:

b. Aft Equipment Cooling switch in OVRD?

A

b. Aids smoke evacuation from the passenger cabin

41
Q

Where is the Power Electronics Cooling System (PECS) located?

A

Aft E/E equipment compartment

42
Q

What does PECS supply liquid cooling for?

A

The Large Motor Power distribution system and the supplemental
cooling units & associated motor controllers of the Integrated Cooling System (ICS)

43
Q

What colours are used for Cabin Differential Pressure (∆P) operating ranges displayed on EICAS and what do they indicate?

A
  • White: normal operating range
  • Amber: above normal range
  • Red: excessive differential pressure
44
Q

What is the indication on the EICAS display that an outflow valve is under manual control?

A

The letter M (amber) is displayed next to the Outflow Valve Position indicators

45
Q

How many outflow valves are there?

A

Two, one forward and one aft

46
Q

What protects the fuselage against excessive pressure differentials?

A

Positive and negative pressure relief valves

47
Q

When in the automatic pressurisation mode, list the data inputs used to calculate pressurisation schedule?

A

Ambient pressure and flight plan data from the FMC

48
Q

In climb mode, at what rate will the cabin climb?

A

On a schedule related to the aircraft climb rate and flight plan cruise altitude

49
Q

In cruise mode, what is the maximum cabin altitude?

A

6,000ft

50
Q

From where is the landing altitude barometric pressure correction obtained?

A

Captain’s altimeter setting

51
Q

What will the cabin altitude be just before touchdown?

A

Cabin altitude decrease to slightly below FMC planned landing altitude

52
Q

What happens to the outflow valves at touchdown?

A

Both valves open to depressurise the cabin

53
Q

How is cabin altitude controlled for:

a. Takeoffs from airports above 8000ft?

A

a. The cabin descends to the target altitude during climb

54
Q

How is cabin altitude controlled for:

b. Landings at airports above 8000ft?

A

b. The cabin climbs to 6,000ft and before arrival climbs to destination
elevation

55
Q

If a depressurisation occurs, what will the outflow valves do initially?

A

They close to preserve cabin pressure

56
Q

During a descent after a depressurisation, when will the outflow valves automatically drive to fully open?

A

When the airplane reaches 15,000ft or descends below the cabin altitude

57
Q

How long does it take for an outflow valve to travel from fully closed to fully open when controlled manually?

A

30 seconds

58
Q

What supplies bleed air?

A

The engines.

59
Q

What is bleed air used for?

A

Engine core and inlet cowl anti–ice operations.
