Q

What does the AUTO XFER caution message mean?

A

-AC power priority did not automatically transfer due to a short in an electrical bus.

This prevents one short from destroying the entire electrical system.

23
Q

Is TRU #2 capable of supplying power to DC BUS 1 in the event of TRU 1 failure?

A

Yes, both DC BUS 1 and DC BUS 2 can be powered by the other TRU through tie connectors.

24
Q

Are all DC ties capable of being closed manually?

A

No;

TIE 1 and tie 2 can be closed manually or automatically.

ESS TIE can only be closed manually

25
Q

How many hydraulic systems does the CRJ have?

A

3

26
Q

How can Skydrol hydraulic fluid be easily identified?

A

Purple color

27
Q

How many hydraulic pumps does the CRJ have? How are the operated?

A
  • There are 6 total pumps (two per system)
  • System 1 and 2 have an engine driven pump and an electrical pump.
  • System 3 has two electric pumps.
28
Q

What is the normal pressure range for the hydraulic system?

A

-2800-3200psi

29
Q

Below what pressure value does the HYD LOW PRESS caution message display?

A

When the respective system pressure is <= 1800psi.

30
Q

What is the normal quantity range for the hydraulic fluid reservoirs?

A

Between 45%-85%

31
Q

How is the hydraulic fluid cooled?

A

RAM AIR

32
Q

In cruise, which hydraulic pumps are operating assuming all systems are operating normally?

A
  • 1A
  • 2A
  • 3A
33
Q

On final approach, which hydraulic pumps are operating.

A

All A and B pumps, 6 in total

34
Q

Explain hydraulic logic

A

Each pump is powered by the cross side generator. The system 3 pump is powered by either GEN 1 or GEN 2.

35
Q

Does the ACMP 3B switch have to be selected ON in order to operate if the ADG is deployed and supplying electric power?

A

No; When the ADG deploys, it will automatically power pump 3B regardless of switch position.

36
Q

Will ACKP 1 and 2 turn on automatically when their respective engine drive pump has failed?

A

No. You need cross side logic and flaps >0.

37
Q

How can you close the HYD SOV’s in the 200, 700, 900?

A
  • All three variants will close when the corresponding ENG FIRE PUSH switch is selected.
  • The 700/900 has dedicated HYD SOV switches.
38
Q

Which hydraulic system operates the OUTBOARD BRAKES?

A

Hydraulic system 2

39
Q

Which hydraulic system operates the inboard brakes?

A

Hydraulic system 3

40

14th stage: Uses air for anti ice and thrust reversers

41
Q

What is the 10th stage bleed air used for (CRJ 200)?
