Aircraft General Flashcards
What is the function of the Common Core System (CCS)?
The CCS provides a common computing network and data exchange system for the majority of airplane systems
What are the main components of the CCS?
The Common Computing Resource (CCR), which has a left and right cabinet
When power (battery, external or APU) is applied to the aircraft: a. Which CCR starts up first?
a. The left CCR
When power (battery, external or APU) is applied to the aircraft: b. How long does this process take?
b. Approximately 2-3minutes
When power (battery, external or APU) is applied to the aircraft c. When will the opposite CCR start up?
c. When the L CCR completes start-up and a power source other than
the battery is available
When power (battery, external or APU) is applied to the aircraft: d. What indicates both CCRs are on-line?
d. When all displays and the HUD combiners show their default formats
Which lights activate when the STORM lights is switched ON?
All illuminated indicator lights, glareshield flood lights, instrument panel flood lights, aisle stand flood lights, forward dome lights
If electrical power is lost, which lighting continues to operate?
The aisle stand, left and right forward panel and glareshield floodlights, and the dome lights illuminate automatically at a fixed brightness.
6a. How would you identify the individual lighting controls that operate with the Master Brightness control system?
6a. They all have a centre detent position identified by a white dot at the mid-range adjustment position.
6b. List the actions to control panel and display lighting by means of the Master Brightness control system.
6b. Ensure individual controls are centred in the detent then push MASTER BRIGHT switch ON
6c. Are the individual controls still effective when the Master Brightness system is working?
6c. The individual controls have limited adjustment capability when the MASTER BRIGHTNESS switch is on
a. When the FASTEN SEAT BELTS sign is at AUTO, list the conditions that would illuminate the sign.
a. Landing Gear not up and locked.
Flap lever at 5 or greater.
Aircraft altitude below an airline defined altitude. Cabin altitude above 10,000 feet.
Passenger oxygen on.
b. If the Passenger Signs selector is at OFF, what condition will cause automatic illumination of the signs?
b. When passenger oxygen is ON c. When oxygen is deployed
c. When would the ‘Return to Seat’ signs NOT work with the fasten seat belt signs?
c. When oxygen is deployed
From where do the Emergency lights obtain their power?
Remote batteries
