Chapter 2 - Air Systems Flashcards
The overboard exhaust valve (OEV) allows for:
(1x)
increased ventilation in the smoke removal configuration.
What is the position of the isolation valve when the ISOLATION VALVE switch is in AUTO?
Open if either engine BLEED air or air conditioning PACK switch positioned OFF.
(Think isolated.. either bleed or pack)
When making a no engine bleed takeoff and an engine failure occurs, when will the bleed air switch be positioned to ON?
When reaching 1500 feet or until obstacle clearance high has been attained.
The maximum cabin differential pressure (relief valves) is:
9.1 psi.
The Cabin Pressurization panel MANUAL light is illuminated green indicates:
the pressurization system is now in the manual mode.
Manual control of the cabin altitude is used if both the AUTO and ALTN modes are inoperative
The bleed air duct pressure indicator:
Is AC operated.
(Bleed air duct BAD Ass C)
The blue RAM DOOR FULL OPEN light illuminates:
when the ram door is in the full open position.
The amber OFF SCHEDULE DESCENT light illuminates. What does this indicate?
The airplane has descended before reaching the planned cruise altitude set in the FLT ALT indicator.
The main source of conditioned air for the flight deck is:
excess air from the left pack that is upstream of the mix manifold.
(The captain is the most important, the captain sits on the left side…)
The amber DUAL BLEED light indicates:
a possible APU back pressure condition and thrust must be limited to idle.
(dual bleed, dual source - engines + APU)
What systems rely on the bleed air system for operation?
- air conditioning / pressurization,
- engine starting,
- wing and engine anti-ice,
- hydraulic reservoirs and
- water tank pressurization.
What happens when the WING BODY OVHT TEST switch is pressed?
Both of the amber WING BODY OVHT lights illuminate.
With the engine bleed air switch ON, how are the engine bleed air valves powered?
They are DC activated and pressure operated.
What causes the PACK light to illuminate?
- failure of both primary and standby pack controls.
- pack trip off
What causes the amber PACK TRIP OFF light to illuminate?
The temperature in the pack has exceeded limits.
What fault indications can be reset with the TRIP RESET switch?
- BLEED TRIP OFF
- PACK TRIP OFF
- DUCT OVERHEAT.
In the PACK TRIP OFF non-normal procedure, the crew selects a warmer temperature in order to:
Reduce the workload on the affected air conditioning pack.
The recirculation fan:
reduces air conditioning pack load and engine bleed air demand.
A DUCT OVERHEAT will cause:
The air mix valves to drive to full cold.
Illumination of the amber AUTO FAIL light indicates:
- Loss of DC power
- Controller fault
- Outflow valve control fault
- Excessive Differential Pressure
- Excessive rate of cabin pressure change
- High cabin altitude
The BLEED TRIP OFF light indicates:
excessive engine bleed air temperature or pressure. The respective engine bleed air valve closes automatically.
What fault indications can be reset with the TRIP RESET switch?
a. BLEED TRIP OFF.
b. PACK.
c. ZONE TEMP.
d. All of the answers are correct.
In the PACK non-normal procedure, the crew selects a warmer temperature in order to:
reduce the workload on the affected air conditioning pack
A ZONE TEMP amber light indicates on the Master Caution Recall:
failure of the flight deck primary or standby temperature control.
Illumination of the amber BLEED TRIP OFF Light indicates what valve has automatically closed?
Related engine bleed air valve
The pack ram air system provides:
Cooling airflow for the pack heat exchangers when the aircraft is inflight or on the ground.
The ram inlet doors are fully open when:
- On the ground
- Inflight with flaps extended
- Inflight when maximum cooling is necessary
Which indications are given for the ram doors when they are fully open?
RAM DOOR FULL OPEN annunciator on the overhead panel
The RAM DOOR FULL OPEN light extinguishes when:
The ram door begins to close
The deflector doors are controlled by:
The air/ground safety sensor
The position of the ram inlet door is determined by:
The compressor discharge temperature
What position would you expect the ram inlet doors to be during cruise?
Full close (a small opening remains to allow for some air to pass over the heat exchangers)
What provides cooling air for the heat exchangers when the aircraft is on the ground or in slow flight?
A fan mounted on the shaft of the air cycle machine which extends into the ram air duct.
The three temperatures for C, W and AUTO are:
18, 30 and 21 degrees Celsius
The trim air system is used to:
Control the temperature of air delivered from 2 packs to 3 zones. This is controlled by a master TRIM AIR switch.
