insufficient (NG aircraft).
- 9th
The engine bleed air valve is normally _____ operated and DC power activated.
- pneumatically
What does the illumination of the BLEED TRIP OFF light indicate?
- engine bleed air temperature or pressure exceeds a predetermined limit* engine bleed air temperature or pressure exceeds a predetermined limit
When the BLEED TRIP OFF light illuminates, what effect does this have on the engine bleed air system?
- The respective engine bleed air valve closes automatically
The isolation valve is _____ when the isolation valve switch in AUTO, both engine bleed air switches ON, and
both air conditioning pack switches AUTO or HIGH.
- closed
The isolation valve is _____ when the isolation valve switch in AUTO, if either an engine bleed air switch or
an air conditioning pack switch is positioned OFF.
