Q

After you disconnect ground power, what is the logic of the electrical system getting power?

A

Start the right engine, R Main AC bus wants to use the right generator for power obviously –
The Left Main Bus uses the APU Still
Start left engine, L Main AC bus will go to the Left generator for power
L & R AC BTB open to prevent paralleling
IF you turn off APU now you don’t have Ground Handling anymore.

Q

When I select GRND during engine start, what will the APU do?

A

Increase pneumatic pressure during start.

46
Q

Walk me through an engine start

A

Take right start selector from AUTO to GND- it stays there- arms ignition and opens right start valve
When VALVE light goes on then off- the valve is fully open
Captain starts 5 minute duty cycle clock
Check for 21 min PSI on the DUCT pressure PSI
Go to Bottom eicas look for N2 and oil pressure
N2 becomes stabilized and less than 1% change in 5 seconds Max motoring on N2- Need to go past little tick on N2
Fuel Control Cutoff to RUN (energizes ignition-gives you light-off)
Time 25 second light off for GE engine-
EYES NEED TO BE HERE! Monitor! Look at SPAR VALVE light and ENG VALVE indicating fully open-you have control of your engine
Go to Primary and look for EGT going up, light off and normal start indications (look for hot, hung, no light-off)
@ 50% N2- starter will automatically click back from GND to AUTO-This is called Starter Cutout
Starter is at normal idle no longer energized-start valve closed
When magenta tick that is 750 EGT goes away you can say “normal start”
(that 750 degree magenta tick initially shows up with AC power and fuel cutout switches selected)

47
Q

What will the APU bleed air valve do when the engine start is over?

A

CLOSE- it is only OPEN during start

48
Q

Just started right engine from APU- what is the position of the R Engine Bleed Air Valve

A

WIDE OPEN!
APU Bleed Air Valve?- Closed
Why? Boeing logic.
Must have air going through all 4 ducts to make sure all 11 items work

49
Q

When I start left engine- what do I load shed?

A

Left Utility & Galley Power

50
Q

When I start right engine- what do I load shed?

A

Right Utility & Galley Power

51
Q

What is required of me for Preflight? HOBOS

A

H yd Quantity (No Refill) No RF-must not see “RF”
O xygen (1250 &1350) See supplement if you have more people
B rake – Parking Brake has to be SET- Can now see 16 brake wear pins check on preflight (none on nosegear)
O il QTY (17 qts)
S tatus Msgs- Fix, consider-CLEAR Them! (if you can’t clear call mx)

52
Q

3 Chances for system to Load Shed are

A
  1. Overload- Occurs during hydraulic power (prior to starting engines, you’re on APU and everything powered normally. )
  2. Engine Start- Selecting ground you load shed L electric demand pump and both utility busses L & R. Only on side No more load shedding upon the start of an engine.
  3. Loss of Generator (single AC Power Source)- Both generators powering respective busses- if an AC generator fails in flight, Both Galley 1st then Both Utility Busses (utility off lights will be on), Other things will be loadshed- this is Boeing doing it
53
Q

Load Shedding Priority

A

Galley Buses

Utility Buses

54
Q

Overload Load Shed

A

Galley Buses

C2 PUMP

55
Q

57
Q

Boeing is trying to save me and my career by?…

A 
Flight Control Protections:
Aileron Lockout
Rudder Ratio Changer
Elevator Feels Unit
*Can always overcome a jam in any of these axis
58
Q

On Power Up what will ALWAYS happen

A

Lower EICAS will show up as Secondary Engine Instruments Always

59
Q

What is the controlling perimeter in Normal for the EEC?

The Non Normal?

A

Normal: N1

Non Normal: N1

60
Q

Explain EEC Overspeed Protection:

A

If you lose control of the engine – will have Protection of RPM in Normal mode. The EEC will take fuel away from fuel metering unit to make sure you don’t hit 117.6 on the red tick.

61
Q

What Main Bus Powers the Ground Service Bus?

A

Right Main AC Bus

62
Q

If you have a single power source what are you required to do?

A

Land at nearest suitable airport

63
Q

What does EEC do for me in my normal flying?

A

Bleed Compensation
Atmospheric Compensation- Change in altitude, EEC
Auto Relight- EEC sense engine going below idle N2 rpm and will relight
Approach Idle- Need this to go from auto thrust to go around thrust

64
Q

When will I go to Approach Idle

A
  1. Landing Flaps
  2. Engine Anti Ice On
  3. Continuous Ignition
65
Q

Tell me how to slats and flaps move per each position

A

1- Slats ONLY- MID position
5- Leading Edge Flaps Stay Mid and TE go to 5 (Aileron Droop starts here through 15 to give more roll control at takeoff flaps)
15- LE SLATS MID- TE Flaps 15 (Aileron droop still)
20- LE SLATS MID-TE Flaps 20 (Aileron droop still)- arms load relief
25- LE SLATS FULL- TE Flaps 25 (Still have load relief) Don’t have aileron droop any longer
30- LE SLTS FULL- TE FLAPS 30
Load Relief
* flap load relief will be back to flaps 20 and the handle won’t move

66
Q

How many controllers does each pack have?

A

2- auto and standby

67
Q

Target Temperature by the PACKS

A

Lowest of the Four Zones
65 degrees to 85 degrees (selectable range)
Celcius 18 degrees to 30 degrees

68
Q

Master Trim Air Systems

A

Mixes with the zones that are requesting higher temp than the coldest to warm it up to what is requested.

69
Q

Where does cold air come from for E&E compartment?

A

Pack Air

70
Q

What part of the air that reaches the cabin is coming from the recirc fans?

A

Over 50%

71
Q

What is the flow of air to get the air to the zones cooler or warmer?

A

Air comes off engine- Cooled by the Air Cooler

72
Q

What does Recirc Fan DO?

A

Left & Right or (Fwd & Aft on overhead)
just takes already conditioned air that is the temp we want it from the cabin and allows it to be filtered and pushed into the common manifold and back to the 4 zones. Allows the packs to work less hard

73
Q

Inop Light on one Recirc Fan?

A
  • On side PACK goes to high flow

- Fuel burn increases by 0.3% per pack

74
Q

When are the PACKS in high flow?

A

When they are not in normal flow

-They are now using 0.3% per pack fuel increase

75
Q 
Left Pack (fwd recirc fan) Right Pack (aft recirc fan)
What would make the pack go to high flow?
A

Both Engines Must be running for this logic to remain true.

  1. If one PACK has a fault the other PACK will go to high flow.
  2. If I lose the recirc fan, it’s partner PACK will go to high flow.
76
Q

If I have a single engine shutdown and a single PACK failure…

A

That working pack will be inhibited from going to high flow because we don’t want to work it too hard and make it fail to keep pressurization working.

77
Q

Tell me about the Air flow to adjust temperature in the cabin process.

A

Air comes through pack valves, is tapped off to Heat Exchanger and sent to trim air valve. Next moves to Air Cycle machine.

78
Q

Master Trim Air Switch will de-power every zone control valve?

A

Yes,

79
Q

What could bring on the four inop lights for each cabin zone?

A
  1. Me Turning off master trim air switch

2. Fault in master trim air system

80
Q

What if I have a single inop light for a zone?

A
  1. Fault with individual control valve

2. I’ve taken the controller and moved it to off from AUTO

81
Q

What bus are recirculation fans powered by?

A

Utility Bus

82
Q

If I don’t have utility busses what would happen to my packs if both engines are running?

A

They both go to high flow
Work harder and last for less time.
.3 + .3 =.6% fuel flow increase

83
Q

Pack Reset Light- WHAT DO THESE LIGHTS MEAN?
PACK OFF:
INOP:

Both?:

A

PACK OFF: Can come on by itself- Pack valve closed.

INOP:
1. Pack overheated or fault in automatic control system- not putting out what I wanted. Commanded 71 degrees and its giving you 72 degrees.

  1. Could Also be PACK control Fault. (we have 2 controllers)
    SELECT STBY N- If condition extinguishes: Controller Issue- Pack will now output 75 degree
    - get checklist out-

Both: Internal overheat
Auto Shuts Pack Off
After cools -you can do 1 reset

84
Q

Where does Aft & Bulk Cargo Heat come from?

A

BODY Duct

85
Q

Where does FWD Cargo Heat Come from?

A

Pneumatic air from CENTER duct

86
Q

Each Cargo Switch Controls 2 Valves, what are they?

A 
Shutoff Valve (SOV)
Temperature Control Valve (TCV)
87
Q

Selecting Cargo Heat switches does what to each compartment?

What temp does it warm to?

A
  1. Overtemp valve to fully OPEN
  2. Control valve to operate automatically from Boeing logic
    (Air coming out of center or body duct warms to 45 degree F)
88
Q

What does the Cargo Heat OVHT valve do?

A

Acts as a backup-Sits there like a police officer waiting for Control valve (that hangs around 45 degrees) to fail. ONce fails, says I will let the temp go all the way up to 90 and then close Temperature in cargo area goes for 90, 89, 88, 87. The dog will still be alive but not happy!

89
Q

Bulk Cargo Area selecting VENT does what?

A

Live animals are carried in Bulk Cargo
Normal allows 45 degree temp to be contained
VENT will keep bulk cargo temperature 65 degrees for the dogs!
Does this by me moving selector to VENT- activating fan and opening up a valve to take air out of cabin to the bulk cargo area

90
Q

What systems are part of pressurization system?

A

Main Gear Air Ground Logic

Air Data Computer

91
Q

When do you pressurize?

A

Thrust levers put into the takeoff range
(this moves outflow valve closed during takeoff)
Captains Altimeter

92
Q

What part does the FMC play in pressurization of your airplane?

A

No part in pressurization

93
Q

How many controllers are part of the pressurization system?

A

3 (2 AC, 1 DC) It’s on the knob
Auto 1- AC Powered Automatic Control
Auto 2-AC Powered Automatic Control
MAN- DC motor that lets me control the cabin manually

94
Q

What is crew required to do with the Pressurization Controller?

A
  1. Set Landing Field Elevation
  2. Select Auto 1 or Auto 2 (whoever is flying CA or FO)
  3. Verify AUTO RATE is in index position (climb 500fpm descent 300 fpm)
95
Q

Land after 8 hour flight, what is target cabin altitude to select?

A

200’ lower than the elevation of where you are landing. But never to exceed .125 inches if differential pressure

96
Q

When I land what does main gear logic do?

A

Allows the outflow valve to go wide open to depressurize.

97
Q

200’ equals what?

A

.125 PSI

98
Q

How does the cabin climb?

A

Relative to the airplane climb.

99
Q

Airplane Logic of Climb Cruise Descent

A

Climb, Cruise, Descent
Level off in 1 minute Climb will change to Cruise-
1000’ dictates climb back to cruise
Boeing has programmed into pressurization system to look at final cruise altitude and cabin altitude you’re at and you’re landing altitude. Will take the higher of the two to calculate new PSI differential.

I.e. Denver example from class

100
Q

Target of this pressurization system FL35 or greater should be what?

A

8.6 PSI
(if it is higher- tell Captain- maybe outflow valve stuck or not working properly)

The system will do it’s best to maintain 8.6 all the way up to Flight Level 350 and higher

101
Q

Max Differential Pressure where Overpressure Relief Valve is starting to kick in is ___ PSI. Doors will open up and let pressure decrease to a safe PSI.

A

9.1 PSI

102
Q

Coming into Denver, I put in my arrival- Last altitude on arrival is 4000’. Power off descent all the way down the STAR. What does the controller do?

A

More than 1000’ fpm CRUISE mode changes to DESCENT mode

Goal is to have cabin altitude stop 200’ below LFE .125

103
Q

Flying in AUTO 1- lose AUTO 1, what happens?

A

AUTO 1 will automatically switch to AUTO 2

104
Q

What if I move Mode Select to Auto 1 to Manual with everything powered normally?

A

Nothing will happen to outflow valve it’ll freeze and it will just show AUTO INOP light above the knob. Same as if there is a failure- the outflow valve will stop and not move!

105
Q

When would you see AUTO INOP light on Mode Select Panel

A

AC failure of AUTO 1 or AUTO 2

Moving the controller to MAN

106
Q

How many negative Pressure Relief Valves?

Where are they?

A

5 Negative Pressure Relief Valves

1 on left side of airplane forward of positive pressure relief doors AIRCRAFT LEFT
2 on fwd cargo door AIRCRAFT RIGHT
2 on aft cargo door AIRCRAFT RIGHT

107
Q

Over Pressure Relief Valves

A

2 Forward of left wing root

108
Q

CABIN ALT light comes on when?

A

10000’
Warning system is our ears!
PUT YOUR MASK ON and call for Immediate Action Item Checklist
“CABIN ALT”
“RAPID DECOMPRESSION”
I need to tell ATC “i’m losing my cabin, I need to descend what heading do you want me on to avoid traffic.”

109
Q

Cabin altitude continues to climb and reaches 11,000’ what happens? What is it called?

A

CABIN RATE LIMITING!
Separate signal sent to outflow valve by DC power to command it CLOSED.

“If you reach 11000 feet with DC power closing the outflow valve it is called Cabin Rate Limiting”

110
Q

Cabin Altitude reaches 14,000’ what happens?

A

Rubber Jungle Deployment Automatically (12 mins supply)

111
Q

Once cabin goes back below 8,500’ what happens?

A

Warning resets in case it re climbs above 10,000’
