Q

Are the lower compartments pressurized or non-pressurized? Are they sealed? Why or why not?

A

Pressurized. And sealed (no fresh air circulation or temperature control). Compartment pressure is maintained nearly equal to the cabin by pressure equalization valves in the aft bulkhead of each compartment. The valves only let enough air flow into or out of the compartments to keep the pressures nearly the same as cabin pressure.

The lower cargo compartments are Class C: designed to completely confine a fire without endangering the safety of the airplane or its occupants.

Q

Describe MDCD operation.

A

Observe the “Locked” and “Closed and Latched” lights are on.
Move and hold the LOCK/UNLOCK switch to UNLOCK until the READY TO OPEN light illuminates (blue).

Then hold the ARM switch in the ARM position and the CLOSE/UP TO CANOPY switch to UP TO CANOPY. (The IN TRANSIT light will illuminate until the canopy position is reached. When the door is in the canopy position, the OPENED light illuminates (blue) and the IN TRANSIT light extinguishes.)

If the full open position is needed, the ARM switch is held in the ARM position and the FULL OPEN/DOWN TO CANOPY switch is held to FULL OPEN until the door reaches the full open position (movement stops). **When in this position, only the UNLOCKED and OPENED lights are illuminated.

If the control switch is released before either the canopy or full open position is reached, the door hydraulically locks in that interim position

In addition to this hydraulic locking feature (internal ram lock), mechanical locks extend to hold the door in the canopy position (approximately 88 degrees) if hydraulic pressure is lost. The main cargo door must be commanded to close in order to release the ram lock.

Note: Door is electrically unlatched and hydraulically opened.

When will the Crew Oxygen bottle pressure gauge display the pressure?

A

With the Battery switch ON.

86
Q

What is the normal charge of the oxygen bottles?

A

1850 psi, but charts in the FCOM Performance Dispatch chapter specify minimum pressure required for dispatch, depending on temperature and the number of crew using the bottle.

87
Q

What type of mask do the pilots have for oxygen?

A

Quick-donning diluter demand mask-regulator for each pilot and each jumpseat occupant.

88
Q

When the pilot oxygen mask is in the NORM position, what oxygen is delivered?

A

the delivered oxygen is diluted with ambient cabin air.

89
Q

How do we know when oxygen flows to the mask?

A

a yellow cross displays in the Oxygen Flow indicator.

90
Q

When the pilot oxygen mask is in the EMERGENCY position, what oxygen is delivered?

A

100% oxygen under positive pressure at all altitudes. This mode also purges contaminants from the mask and removes condensation or fogging from the interior of the mask lens.

91
Q

What happens when you remove the oxygen mask from the stowage box?

A

flow of oxygen initiates

92
Q

Which oxygen regulator setting is normally used for dispatch?

A

100%, for both the flight deck crew as well as the supernumeraries.

93
Q

What type of oxygen masks do the supernumeraries have?

A

Demand masks, oral-nasal mask type, but they use the same two oxygen cylinders as the flight desk masks.

94
Q

Where are the supernumerary oxygen masks located?

A

Under each supernumerary seat.

95
Q

How and when is oxygen in the lavatory provided?

A

The PSU located above the lavatory. The PSU doors/panels open when the solenoids are electrically activated to open (when the cabin altitude reaches 14,000 feet, a pressure switch should automatically activate the PSU door solenoids.)

Whenever the PSU solenoids have been powered to open, the PASS OXY ON light illuminates (on the overhead panel next to the PASS OXYGEN guarded switch, maintenance can reset). The OVERHEAD system annunciator light and MASTER CAUTION lights illuminate as well.

The pilot may open the guard and move the spring-loaded switch to the ON position if the PSU doors do not open at 14,000 ft cabin altitude.

96
Q

What happens when a pilot opens the guard and moves the spring-loaded switch to the ON position if the PSU doors do not open at 14,000 ft cabin altitude?

A

The PSU door solenoids are activated (not necessarily open), the PASS OXY ON light illuminates (on the overhead panel next to the PASS OXYGEN guarded switch, maintenance can reset). The OVERHEAD system annunciator light and MASTER CAUTION lights illuminate as well.

97
Q

What type of masks are in the lavatory and how do they work?

A

Drop down Continuous Flow type with a reservoir bag.

There are 2 valves on the front of each mask, which allow ambient cabin air to be drawn into the mask along with a small amount of oxygen being added to the air through these valves.

*Note: Because cabin air is mixed with oxygen from the generator, you should NEVER use this mask when the cabin is filled with smoke!! Also, do not use passenger oxygen with cabin altitude below 14,000 feet when smoke or an abnormal heat source is present.

98
Q

How does the canister generate oxygen?

Can it be shut off?

A

There is a lanyard attached to a safety key (that stops the firing pin from striking the ignitor). When the mask is pulled down, the lanyard pulls the safety key out, the firing pin will snap down on the ignitor and oxygen will flow to the mask (chemical process generates the oxygen).

No, there is no way to shut off the generator after the ignitor has been activated.

99
Q

How long will the canister generate oxygen, and what does it smell like?

How do we know oxygen is flowing?

A

About 12 minutes.

May smell like scorched cloth due to the temperature of the generator canister.

There is a green in-line flow indicator visible in the transparent oxygen hose whenever oxygen is flowing to the mask.

100
Q

What is the normal charge of the portable oxygen bottles, and how many masks will they accept?

One regulates flow a 2-liters per minute, one regulates flow at 4-liters per minute. Why?

A

1800 psi.

Each bottle will accept 2 continuous flow masks (there are 2 continuous flow outlets).

  • the 2-liters per minute is for walk-around
  • the 4-liters per minute is used for first aid.
101
Q

What do you need to carry with you when accessing the deck cargo compartment in flight?

A

An oxygen bottle and mask.

102
Q

Ways to emergency exit?

A

Through either the forward Entry or Service doors, or through the sliding flight deck windows.

Q

Where are the life vests located?

Where are the rafts located?

A

Under each seat for each occupant.

Rafts: 2 in the supernumerary cabin and 1 on the flight deck.

*Note: although the slides are not certified as life rafts, they are buoyant and may be used for flotation when disconnected from the aircraft (The Slide Detachment Handle is located at the top of the slide).

104
Q

How do we disarm the slide?

A

Remove the Girt Bar from the floor clips and clip them in the door clips.

105
Q

How do you Arm and Disarm the door?

What happens if a door is not closed and locked?

A

Arm: Close the door. Place the Girt Bar Warning Flag in the warning position (clearly visible to anyone outside). Remove the Girt Bar from the door storage hooks and fasten to floor brackets.

Disarm: Unfasten the Girt Bar from the floor brackets and place in the door storage hooks. Place the Girt Bar Warning Flag in the stowed position (NOT visible to anyone outside). Advise Captain once BOTH entry doors are disarmed. Captain will say “Doors disarmed, cleared to open”, the FO will acknowledge and say “Cleared to open” and open the entry door(s).

If the door is not closed and locked, the Forward and Aft ENTRY and SERVICE lights illuminate, and the DOOR system annunciator and MASTER CAUTION lights also come on.

106
Q

How to we inflate the slide?

A

It will inflate automatically if the Girt Bar is in the floor clips when the door is opened. If it fails to inflate automatically, there is a PULL TO INFLATE handle for manual slide inflation.

107
Q

What is potable water used for?

A

To flush the toilets, as well as the galley and lavatory sink.

108
Q

Where is the water tank located?

How is it pressurized?

Can the water system be used without an active pneumatic system? Why or why not?

A

A single tank located below the cabin floor and behind the aft cargo compartment (way in the back, same place it gets serviced).

It is pressurized by the pneumatic system normally (engine bleed air), but an AC motor driven compressor automatically activates is pneumatic pressure drops below a preset value to maintain water pressure.

Yes, the AC motor driven compressor allows water system usage without an active pneumatic system.

109
Q

Where is the water valve?

A

Below the sink in the lavatory. It is 4-position: ON (to the sink and toilet flushing), OFF, Faucet Only, and Toilet Only.

110
Q

Where is the water heater?

How do we know when it’s working?

What happens if it gets too hot?

How quickly can it heat a new water charge?

A

Installed in the supply line to the lavatory sink hot water outlet.

The heater has an amber light that illuminates when it is operating normally. Maintenance uses a control switch to turn the heater on or off.

If the heating element gets too hot, an Overheat Protection Circuit turns off the heater (overheat swi.

When emptied, it heats a new water charge in 4 minutes.

111
Q

Where does waste drain water from the galleys and sink evacuate?

A

Through electrically heated forward and aft drain masts (there are 2 drain masts).

112
Q

How does the toilet flushing system operate?

How is Differential Pressure Generated for flushing?

A

There are 2 valves - a Rinse valve and a Flush Valve.

The Rinse Valve allows a measured volume of potable water to rinse the bowl, while the Flush Valve opens to allow the bowl contents to move through the vacuum drain line into the waste tank. Thus, a combination of Rinse Water and Differential Pressure is used to flush the toilet.

Differential Pressure is created by keeping the waste tank pressure LOWER than the cabin pressure:

  • Below 16,000 feet: air pressure is evacuated from the waste tank by operation of a vacuum blower that keeps the tank pressure lower than the cabin pressure.
  • Above 16,000 feet: The operation of the vacuum blower is NOT required due to cabin differential pressure.
113
Q

What happens if a Flush Valve fails to close after flushing?

What should you do? And how?

A

The cabin pressure will continuously escape overboard.

The Flush Valve can be closed manually by use of a handle located at the bottom of the toilet assembly through a cutout in the shroud.

114
Q

How many quantity level sensors are in the Waste Tank?

What happens if the tank level is full?

A

2

If the tank level is full, the toilet Rinse and Flush Valves are disabled.

115
Q

How is the Waste Tank emptied?

A

There is a drain valve on the waste service panel, located on the aft lower fuselage. After the tank is drained, it is rinsed by water through 2 nozzles in the top of the tank. This rinse action should also clean the tank quantity level sensors. Of course, a chemical precharge is added to the waste tank after the tank is rinsed (blue).

116
Q

Where is the Water Quantity and Waste System display located?

What will happen if either waste level sensor is dirty?

A

Located on the Attendant Panel. Quantity is continuously displayed for the Potable and Waste Water tanks.

If either waste level sensor is dirty, the CLEAN/CHECK SENSOR light comes on. Since contaminated level sensors can shut down the operation of the flushing system, the level sensors are normally cleaned when the waste tank is emptied and flushed.

117
Q

Where is the Water Service panel located?

What will happen if the panel door is open?

A

On the bottom right side of the aft fuselage. Pressure filling is required.

If the panel door is open, the electric powered compressor is disabled.

With the water hose connected, opening the fill and overflow valve vents tank pressure and allows water to fill the tank and come out the overflow. A Drain Valve handle is provided to drain the water tank. *Both the Drain Valve and the Fill and Overflow Valve handles must be closed to allow the panel to close.

118
Q

How long does the Protective Breathing Equipment (PBE/Smoke Hood) provide oxygen?

A

approximately 15 to over 20 minutes of oxygen.

119
Q

What happens to the flight deck door if pressurization is lost?

A

The door incorporates 2 pressure sensors that unlock the decompression panels if pressurization is lost. The decompression panels have manual release pins. Pulling the pins frees the panels allowing egress in the event the door is jammed.

120
Q

How can we emergency evacuate?

A

Through the forward entry and service doors, as well as through the 2 sliding flight deck windows.

Note: The aft entry and service doors as well as all four Type III overwing emergency exits are deactivated and are not available for use.

121
Q

Explain the electricity for the galleys

A

115V AC, supplied from the airplane transfer buses and controlled by a switch on the overhead panel.

Circuit breakers are located in the lower E/E bay as part of the power distribution panels.

122
Q

Where are the water shutoff valves located?

What are these used for?

What is the normal position?

A

located on each galley and below the sink in each lavatory.

The drain position of this valve is used to drain all water overboard.

Normally, the drain shutoff valves are ON.

123
Q

What is the forward limit of the Main Electric Trim range with the flaps retracted?

A

3.95 units
