ECS/Press/Pneu Flashcards
Question: When would the aircraft do an Emergency Descent (EDM) and what will the aircraft do?
Answer: Cabin Pressure Low EDM ≥ 25,000 feet, Auto Pilot ON, Auto Throttles ON or OFF SPEED target on flight guidance panel changes to 340 KCAS in MANUAL mode.
ALTITUDE preselect is set to 15,000 feet
Autopilot commands a left turn with a 90-degree heading change in the HEADING HOLD mode Autothrottles engage (if not engaged) and decreases engine throttles to Idle
Airplane descends at MMO / VMO to 15,000 feet
Speed brakes extend automatically as airspeed increases above 0.91M / 315 KCAS (Speed brake extension will stop if AOA increases above 0.7. Once AOA reduces below 0.7 Speed brake extension will continue).
Speed brakes auto retract with airspeed less than 275 KCAS
15,000 feet, the SPEED target changes to 250 KCAS
Aircrew may override EDM by disconnecting the Autopilot
Question: What is the FIRST step in the checklist after experiencing a rapid decompression?
Answer: Crew Oxygen Masks…………….Don
Question: You declare an emergency, utilizing the TSC how can you find the closest airport to safely land at?
Answer: TSC,/ Flight Plan page,/ Aircraft Menu

Answer: 10.69 psi
Question: When would pressure relief valve start to relieve pressure?
Answer: There are two different chambers: one relieves pressure at 10.80 the other at 11.00.
Question: What is the temperature range in automatic?
Answer: 60-90°F
Question: What is the temperature restrictions for operating in Manual Zone Temperature Control?
Answer: Duct Temperature less than 200°F
Question: What is temperature range in manual?
Answer: 0 to 100 % - Full cold 35°F to full hot 230°F with the midpoint approximately 130°F.
Question: How can you select RAM AIR?
Answer: Select RAM AIR on the OHPTS / ECS / RAM AIR to turn off BOTH Packs.
Question: What type of air ALWAYS comes from the overhead gaspers?
Answer: Cold
Question: Automatic pressurization is available down to what source of power?
Answer: Main batteries (ESS Power), (CPCS Channel 1)
Question: In manual mode, how would you determine the rate of TROV movement?
Answer: By observing the indicator on overhead panel. (HYD/CPCS)
Question: During Cockpit Inspection there is a Fault Light illuminated in the Fault/Manual control switch located on the overhead panel at the Cabin Pressure Control Panel, what does that mean?
Answer: A fault has been sensed by the Cabin Pressure Control Unit, or both CPCU 1 and CPCU 2 have failed.
Question: Where is the Pressurization SEMI selection located?
Answer: OHPTS, HYD/CPCS
Question: Where are the controls for operating the SEMI mode located?
Answer: TSC / SYSTEMS / CPCS
