EP Q-Bank Flashcards
Inflight, the cabin exhaust fan Main AC Bus B CB pops and will not reset. You should:
Open equipment doors for additional cooling. Use minimum electronic equipment.
With a failure of 1 EDC in-flight, you should:
with one EDC INOP and the cabin exhaust fan operable, climbing to a higher altitude will decrease EDC efficiency
While on a cross country from JAX to Chorpus, the ACFT suffers an explosive decompression at FL260. The flight station shall:
Don smoke masks
Alert crew
Verify obstacle clearance
Investigate cause of loss of pressurization
What is the first step for restoring pressurization inflight (cabin alt remains below 10K’) after a malfunction of the landing gear scissor switch (rapid decompression)?
Pressurization ground test switch to test
Ground AC on
Passing 2000’ MSL after your initial takeoff for the day, the FE informs you that the ACFT is not pressurizing normally. You quickly notice a spread on both EDCs and the Ground AC sw still in the “ON” position. You should:
Initiate rapid decompression procedures.
Immediately after T/O your FE informs you that both EDCs indicate a loss of inlet/discharge needle spread. You should:
Recognize a scissor switch failure and perform the procedures for rapid decompression.
INFLT, the #3 EDC indicates a loss of inlet/discharge needle spread which is not acccompanied by an EDC “PRESS LOW” light. You should:
Disconnect the EDC and monitor for a press low light. If the pressure low light does not illuminate, the engine should be secured with the e-handle.
In order to perform emergency depressurization, your first action should be to:
Place the AUX Vent switch to open.
Three overheat warning sensors detect excessive temperature in the fuselage adjacent to the cross-ship and APU ducting. The activation of one of these sensors will cause which of the following annunciator lights to illuminate.
FUS DUCT HOT
During flight, the “FUS DUCT HOT” light illuminates. The proper procedure is to close all engine bleed and fuselage shutoff valves, then dump the EDCs one at a time, if the condition persists.
TRUE
The “CABIN PRESS” light will illuminate if:
Cabin Altitude exceeds 10,000’ +/- 500’
If the Cabin Exhaust fan is INOP:
Open equipment doors for additional cooling
Use MIN electronic equipment
If EDCs are INOP open AUX VENT
INFLT #2 EDC “TEMP HIGH” light illuminates. You should:
If unable to control engine oil temperature. disconnect, monitor for loss of spread, dump, continue operation.
INFLT the #2 EDC “PRESS LOW” light illuminates. You should:
Disconnect and monitor for loss of spread, then dump. If no loss of spread is indicated, shutdown the engine with the e-HDL.
