Avelo 737 Systems Flashcards
Systems Learning Objectives (Don’t quote me on any of this)
Entry and Exit
4 (floor level) doors
Emergency overwing exit(s)
-800 has 2 over each wing
-700 has 1 over each wing
Cockpit windows
R2 (FO’s sliding) may be opened from the outside
Cargo compartment pressurization/ventilation
Pressurized, but not ventilated
FA station emergency exit light switch
The emergency exit lights can be switched on from the AFT flight attendant’s station regardless of the position of the flight deck switch
ARMED Emergency exit light will come on:
Automatically if power to DC bus 1 fails or AC power is turned off
Pax oxygen
From chemical generators in PSU (4 masks), lavs, each FA station. 14000 cabin alt
Flight deck oxygen
Bottle located in E&E bay
Autothrottle modes
VNAV: FMC SPD or MCP SPD
LVL CHG: N1 or ARM
V/S: MCP SPD
Autopilot pitch and roll
Roll: LNAV, VOR LOC, HDG SEL
Pitch: TOGA, LVL CHG, VNAV, V/S
SPD INTV
During VNAV operations, opens IAS/MACH window and displays FMC tgt spd
Non-precision approaches MCP
conducted in LNAV/VNAV
VNAV PATH priority during vnav operations
FMC SPD: prioritize vertical path
MCP SPD: prioritize target speed
Autopilot engagement
minimum engagement height 400AGL
disengaged by 50AGL
Dual Channel approach
the AP will remain engaged when TOGA is pressed
Control Wheel Steering
Maintains current pitch and roll. The pilot may make changes to pitch and roll through the control wheel when CWS is active.
If CWS Roll is selected when bank angle <5, the wings will be leveled
PACKs location
Lower fuselage near wing roots
Cargo compartment temperature
Fwd cargo compartment is warmed by exhaust air from the E&E compartments
Aft cargo compartment is not warmed
PACK failure in AUTO
The remaining pack will operate in high flow mode, unless the flaps are extended
E&E exhaust air
Dumped overboard when the airplane is unpressurized or the right gasper fan is inop. Otherwise, the warm air is passed around the fwd cargo before exhausting through outflow valve
APU pack operation in flight
Only one pack may be operated from the APU bleed in flight
Pack High Flow
May not be selected for takeoff or landing when being supplied by engine bleed
Pack Ram Doors
Open to Full when the flaps are extended
-800 Trim Air
Trim air On: pack output temps will be the same - the coldest of the 3 trim air knobs. warmer air is added to the other 2 zones
Trim air Off: each pack outputs a fixed temp
-700 pack temp control
AUTO: each pack puts out a temperature as selected on the pack control knob
MANUAL: pilot manually controls the hot/cold mix valve, should monitor the pack outlet temp
Pack caution lights
-800: PACK caution light indicates a pack overheat, overpressure, or failure of a pack controller; warmer zone temp selectons may be needed
ZONE TEMP caution light indicates an overheat of the zone duct; cooler temp selection may be needed
-700: PACK TRIP OFF caution light indicates an overtemp or over pressure condition
Engine Anti-ice (TAI) must be used:
- On the ground in icing conditions (vis less than 1sm and temp less than 10C), or when taxiways and runways are contaminated with ice, slush, or snow
- During climb or cruise in icing conditions unless SAT is below -40
- During descent in icing conditions, regardless of SAT
TAI bleed air
Is only available fro: the on-side engine
Engine anti-ice is available even if the bleed PRSOVs are closed
Engine Start Switches when TAI is on
must be selected to CONT
Cowl Anti Ice caution light
indicates an overpressure condition
Anti ice Valve indicator light logic
bright then dim, bright then extinguished
Wing Anti-ice
- may not be used as a substitute for de-icing
- must be on for taxiing for t/o in icing conditions, unless type 2 or 4 fluid
- control valves automatically close when thrust advanced for t/o, switch moves to off once airborne
Wing anti-ice bleed air
bleed air for anti-ice cannot be supplied by APU
bleed air for wing anti-ice may be supplied by either engine or both
Bleed air is supplied for:
Air conditioning & pressurization
Engine starting
Engine and wing anti-ice
Isolation valve in the AUTO position
Placing any of the “corner” switches to the OFF position will cause the isol valve to open
Engine bleed valves open when
(Switch is on and) there is bleed air pressure
They are pressure regulating shut off valves (PRSOV) and may be deferred per the MEL
High pressure bleed air may be supplied from:
An external ground cart (supplied to the right side of the common manifold)
APU (supplied to the left side of the common manifold)
Engines
BLEED TRIP OFF light indicates
An over pressure indication
WING BODY OVERHEAT caution light indicates
A bleed leak
Right - right wing between eng and fuselage, and right pack area
Left - left wing between eng and fuselage, left pack area, and keel beam back to the apu
DUAL BLEED caution light is
A reminder that at least 1 eng bleed (is selected open) and the apu bleed are open and supplying bleed air to the common manifold. Do not advance thrust levers higher than idle thrust
Air used to pressurize the cabin is supplied through
The air cond packs, and exhausted through the outflow valve
Outflow valve motor
One motor for the two automatic controllers
One motor for MAN
The pressurization controllers
2 automatic - primary and alternate (they alternate which is which)
Or Manual
AUTO FAIL caution light indicates
One of the following has occurred:
Failure of a single controller (ALT light also illuminated)
Failure of both controllers
Loss of DC power
Outflow valve control fault
Excessive diff pressure (over 8.75psi)
Excessive rate of cabin change (over 2000fpm)
High cabin alt (over 15800)
OFF SCHED DESCENT caution light indicates
The airplane has not reached the planned cruise altitude (within 1000ft). The pressurization controller will automatically change the LAND ALT to the departure airport elevation. The land alt displayed on the pressurization panel will not change
Main outflow valve after landing
Is driven open by the controller. This feature is not available in MAN mode
AC power is supplied by
3 generators - 1 apu, 2 engine driven
May also be supplied by an external ground power cart
The entire electrical system can be powered by
Any single generator. However, some AC busses that are not essential to flight (galley busses, then AC main busses) may be load shed during single generator operations.
Also this plane doesn’t do fancy load shedding, so single generator operation = go land
Generator priority logic
The last generator to be selected is the generator powering the bus. More than 1 gen on any bus is not possible
The Bus Transfer system in AUTO
Allows any single generator to power both AC transfer busses when a generator failure occurs (bus tie breakers)
AC electrical system operates at
115V, 400Hz
Generator Constant Speed Drive (CSD)
Engine generators are operated at a constant RPM through a constant speed drive (“that operates similarly to the automatic transmission in an automobile”)
APU does not have. Apu operates at a constant rpm
Combined with the generator - integrated drive generator (IDG)
Main AC busses
AC transfer bus 1 & 2
DC electrical system is normally supplied by
3 transformer rectifier units (TR Units)
Rectifies 115V AC power to 28V DC power
DC electrical system operates at
28V
Main DC busses
DC bus 1 & 2
Normally, DC busses 1 & 2 are powered by
All 3 TR unites. During approach mode with glide slope capture, the Cross Tie Relay opens and TR unit 1 powers DC bus 1 and TR unit 2&3 power DC bus 2
Standby electrical system consists of
Battery, batt bus, DC stby bus, and AC stby bus
Operates when there is a loss of AC power
AC standby bus is powered through
An inverter
Inverts 28V DC power to 115V AC power
Standby power on batteries
Single battery - 30min (-700s,806,807,808)
Two batteries - 60min (801,802,803,804,805,809)
BAT DISCHARGE caution light indicates
The battery is not being charged. The battery charger is powered through AC transfer bus 2
TR UNIT caution light
On ground - any or all of the tr units
In flight - tr 1 has failed, or TRs 2&3 have failed
ELEC caution light indicates
A fault in the DC system or a fault in the standby system.
Available only on the ground. Do not take off
STANDBY POWER OFF caution light indicates
A fault in one or more of the standby power busses (ac stby bus, dc stby bus, or batt bus)
