Q

When is wing anti-ice required to be ON during ground operations?

A

OAT ≤ 5°C in visible moisture
(fog with visibility 1sm or less, rain, snow, sleet, ice crystals),

Q

What occurs during an APU fire in flight?

A

The APU ECU shuts down the APU.

22
Q

How many smoke detectors are there in the aft cargo compartment?

23
Q

How many smoke detectors are there in the fwd cargo compartment?

24
Q

What are the flight deck indications of cargo smoke?

A 
Triple chime
Master warning flashers,
“SMOKE” aural,
SMOKE AFT CARGO warning message,
or SMOKE FWD CARGO warning message.
Either FWD or AFT
CARGO SMOKE PUSH
switchlights illuminate.
25
Q

How many firex bottles are there for cargo smoke?

A

Two,

one is a slow metered standard bottle that should last approximately 60 minutes,

and the other is a quick discharge bottle

26
Q

How many smoke detectors are located in the lavatories?

A

One in the fwd and

one in the aft.

27
Q

What indication do we have for smoke in a lavatory?

A

master warning flashers,

SMOKE FWD LAV or

SMOKE AFT LAV warning message.

28
Q

What protection do we have for a lavatory waste compartment fire?

A

A firex bottle with heat sensitive capsules that will melt to discharge Halon 1301 directly into the waste compartment.

29
Q

What indication will we get with a waste compartment fire?

A

None, unless it generates enough smoke to set off

a smoke detector.
