- Gravity feed

20
Q

What will cause the emergency lights to illuminate?

A
  • A failure of Emergency DC bus 1
  • Placing Cockpit switch to ON
  • Leaving Cockpit switch in ARM before turning PWR SELECT switch off
  • CA Switch to on
  • CA switch to test (Simulates emergency DC bus 1 failure)
21
Q

What does a white light indicate when illuminated on the cabin attendants discrete call panel?

A

A call from the lavatory.

22
Q

With the courtesy switch in the AUTO position what will happen?

A

The courtesy lights will illuminate when the main door is open regardless of the position of the PWR SELECT switch. (Hot battery bus)

23
Q

Describe the power for the emergency lighting system?

A

Power is supplied from 3 rechargable battery packs,
Normally recharged from Emergency DC bus 1. They will illuminate with a failure of emergency DC bus 1 (Total electrical failure)
The batteries will last 17minutes and take approximately 22hrs to recharge.

24
Q

When will the DOORS light illuminate on the MAP?

A
  • Main cargo door open
  • Forward entry door open
  • Any service door open
25
Q

When will the CABIN ALT light illuminate?

A

No

27
Q

What aural warnings can be heard for incorrect takeoff configuration?

A
  • TAKEOFF BRAKES, TRIM, FLAPS, AUTOFEATHER
28
Q

What does a aural “BATTERY” warning indicate?

A

Battery overheat condition >70*c

29
Q

In most cases what happens when you press the Alarm cancel button?

A

Will cancel MASTER/CAUTION lights and the respective associated aural warning. Will cause the lights on the MAP to stop flashing and go steady.

30
Q

When will the WARNING light illuminate?

A

Whenever a RED MAP light illuminates.
