Can the CCR’s be restarted in flight? If so, how long does a restart cycle take?
Yes.
Restart cycle takes approximately 1 minutes for the CCR to begin running.
If the CCR’s do not restart, what two system failures will affect operational performance of the flight?
Landing gear normal extension
Auto speedbrake
If only the battery power is selected on for airplane start-up, which CCR powers up?
Left CCR
How long does the CCR take to power up?
Approximately 2-3 minutes
If the CCR is in the middle of its start up sequence on battery power, and external power becomes available, what happens to the CCR start up sequence?
The right CCR start up cycle is enabled
With forward external power available and with the battery switch OFF, which CCR’s begin the start up sequence and for how long?
Left CCR will begin start up sequence for 2-3 minutes, followed by the right CCR.
What is the cockpit indication when both CCR’s are online?
All displays and HUD combiners show their default formats.
Which lights illuminate when STORM lights are selected on?
All illuminated indicator lights
Glareshield flood lights
Instrument panel flood lights
Aisle stand flood lights
Forward dome lights
Which individual lighting controls operate with the Master Brightness control systems?
All panel lights and displays
(Not dome lights, flood lights, area lights, HUD, standby compass, handset and annunciators)
Are the individual controls still effective when the master brightness system is working?
Yes, but only with limited adjustment capability.
If normal electrical power is lost, which lighting continues to operate?
-Standby electrical power is automatically provided to the primary displays.
-Aisle stand flood, forward panel flood, glareshield flood and dome lights illuminate automatically at a fixed brightness.
When the FASTEN SEAT BELTS sign is in auto, which conditions will illuminate the sign?
Landing gear not up and locked
Flap lever at 5 or greater
Airplane below an airline defined altitude
Cabin altitude above 10,000’
Passenger oxygen on
How many oxygen systems are fitted to the aircraft?
Two.
One for the flight deck and one for the passenger cabin.
Where is crew oxygen displayed?
Status display
What causes the passenger oxygen masks to deploy?
Automatically and manually?
Masks deploy automatically prior to:
-cabin altitude reaching 14,500’
-origin airfield altitude +1,500’
-destination airfield altitude +1,500’
Mask deploy manually by pushing the PASS OXYGEN switch ON.
How long does the passenger oxygen system last?
Approximately 60 minutes.
How can the boom microphone be reselected and the oxygen flow to the mask shut off after use?
By closing the left door of the stowage box and pushing and releasing the TEST/RESET switch.
How is oxygen flow indicated on the crew oxygen stowage box?
An OXYGEN ON flag appears in the mask compartment near the left hand door.
What is the maximum duration for which a fully charged remote battery will provide power to the emergency lighting system?
10 minutes
With the “EMER LIGHTS” switch in the armed position, what causes the emergency lights illuminate?
If airplane electrical power fails or is turned off.
When do the entry door handles automatically lock? Unlock?
Locks when groundspeed is >80kts
Unlocks when groundspeed is <70kts or if electrical power is removed or failed.
What emergency equipment is located on the flight deck?
-2 torches
-4 lifejackets
-4 Descent devices
-1 BCF
