84
Q

Can the APU replace a failed IDG

A

Yes

85
Q

In an electrical emergency can Hyd sys 3 power requirements possibly overload the RAT?

A

No. A flow limiter valve is used to reduce hyd fluid flow and limits Hyd pump electrical power draw to prevent a RAT stall.

86
Q

Where is the external ground source pneumatic panel located?

A

Lower fairing between the wings

87
Q

When is the RAT icon displayed on the electrical synoptic page?

A

When the RAT is deployed

88
Q

What is the only way to close the engine fuel SOV?

A

Pull the associated engine fire extinguishing handle

89
Q

How does the failure of one of the two power sources affect the windshield heating system?

A

-On ground inhibited -in flight Left side is heated (right side heats if Left has failed)

90
Q

What provides air for the AMS?

A

-Engine bleeds -APU Bleed -External pneumatic source

91
Q

Are the cockpit and cabin protected from fire?

92
Q

Can the igniters be turned off during flight?

A

The switch may be moved to the off position but the FADEC DISREGARDS the COMMAND-the off position is Used For dry-motoring on the ground only

93
Q

What is an indication of an APU fire?

A

-Fire Bell -Red stripe in the EMER STOP button -APU Fire is displayed on the EICAS

94
Q

If there a total loss of power during the gap between RAT deployment and when it produces useful electrical power?

A

No. Batteries supply power to the DC ESS Busses and AC Standby Bus

95
Q

What is the difference between the high-rate bottle and the low-rate bottle? (cargo compartment)

A

-High-rate bottle saturates the compartment immediately -Low-rate bottle maintains saturation over 60 mins

96
Q

A

120*C

99
Q

What happens when the ignition switch is selected to OVRD?

A

Activates both igniters ON THE GROUND OR IN FLIGHT

100
Q

What battery is used for the APU start?

A

105
Q

What is the ratio of fresh air to recirculated air?

A

52% FRESH air to 48% RECIRCULATED air

106
Q

What keeps the FWD & CTR E-BAY’s cool?

A

3 fans each pull air from cabin to bay

107
Q

What keeps the AFT E-BAY cool?

A

Natural air-flow from cabin to bay

108
Q

When is the Emergency Ram Air Ventilation activated?

A

-Both packs commanded or failed OFF below 25000 ft. (via left side and electronically controlled) -Ram air pressure greater than cabin pressure (differential pressure via right side) via one-way check valve No electrical power required
