Q

How is air temperature controlled with the AUX TEMP CONTROL switch in the ELEC HEAT 1 position?

A

Air temperature can’t be controlled by the crew when using the electric heat subsystem. The air temperature is automatically maintained at 120-150 deg F at the outlet

Q

When will the CABIN PRESSURE HI annunciator illuminate?

A

11+-1 psid

17
Q

When does the CABIN PRESSURE LO annunciator illuminate?

A

cabin altitude exceeds 9500+-500 feet

18
Q

What is the purpose of the VCCS?

A

The only source of cooling air when the aircraft’s engines are not operating

19
Q

Below what temperature will the VCCS automatically not operate?

A

Below 20 deg F

20
Q

What provides heating for the engine anti-ice system?

A

Bleed air

21
Q

How can you be sure wing anti-ice system has fail?

A

N2>70% and WG ICE TEMP LO

22
Q

Do not operate engine anti-ice system on the ground, except for preflight when above what temperature?

A

10 deg C

23
Q

What should you do to avoid exceeding ITT limits prior to turning on engine or wing anti-ice?

A

Momentarily reduce throttles to a max of 90% N1

24
Q

If ice is present, turn on the ______ switches prior to turning on the systems.

A

ignition

25
Q

Do not operate anti-ice/deice systems at a RAT greater than what, unless in actual icing conditions?

A

10 deg C

26
Q

If you encounter icing conditions during flight, use no greater than what degree of flaps?

A

10 degrees, unless in icing conditions for less than 10 minutes, and RAT during each encounter is warmer than -8 deg C or a RAT of +10 deg C is observed during descent, approach, landing.

27
Q

When is windshield heat required?

A

When cruising about 18,000 feet

28
Q

What does using the HIGH setting of windshield heat do?

A

Cause erratic and unreliable magnetic compass readings at any time, and is prohibited during takeoff and landing due to possible windshield distortion

29
Q

If the horizontal stab anti-ice and deice fail, you should not use more than how many degrees of flaps?

A

10 degrees

30
Q

What does it mean if the green blowout disk on the right side of the nose section is missing?

A

It means the oxygen cylinder has overpressurized to approximately 2700 psi, and the entire oxygen supply has been vented overboard

31
Q

What is the recommended throttle setting if you’ve encountered icing?

A

90 % N1
