Q

Explain how the bleed air warning system provides warning to the Pilot that there is a leak and what annunciators illuminate?

A

Each bleed air line has a parallel plastic tube that will melt when exposed to a bleed air leak above 200F triggering a pressure switch. If pressure drops below 2 PSI then a [L / R BLEED FAIL] warning comes on.

Q

What position should the rate knob be set to prior to takeoff and prior to descent?

A

11 - 1 o’clock position

17
Q

To what altitude is the pressure controller set prior to descent?

A

500ft above Airfield pressure altitude

18
Q

What are we looking for in the After Takeoff checks for the pressurisation checks?

A

Cabin Climb is lagging VSI climb, Cabin Alt is laggin cabin diff needle.

19
Q

If the ambient temperature is greater than 10°C what position must the environmental bleed air switch be in for takeoff?

A

LOW (to increase power in hot temps)

20
Q

What is the advantage of placing the environmental bleed air switch o Normal?

A

Increased heating or efficient pressurisation flow

21
Q

When would the window de-fog be of assistance?

A

Descending from cold environment into warm mositure laden air

22
Q

Name the actions required to perform the pressurisation check.

A 
ENVIRONENTAL BLEED AIR\_\_\_NORMAL
BLEED AIR VALVES\_\_\_OPEN
PRESSURISATION CONTROLLER\_\_\_SET
CABIN PRESSURE SWITCH\_\_\_HOLD TEST
CABIN ALT & VSI\_\_\_CHECK FOR DESCENT
CABIN PRESSURE SWITCH\_\_\_RELEASE
PRESSURISATION CONTROLLER\_\_\_SET
23
Q

When the CABIN TEMP MODE selector is in the MAN COOL position, how is the cabin temperature lowered?

A

Hold the MAN TEMP INCR-DECR switch to Decrease for 1 min to fully close the Left bypass valve.

24
Q

At what altitude will the CABIN ALT HI annunciator illuminate?

A

12000ft

25
Q

At FL260 if the cabin press switch was moved to DUMP what would the cabin altitude rise to?

A

13500ft

26
Q

What source of air is used to pressurise the aircraft?

A

P3 Bleed Air from the Third Stage compressor.

27
Q

To achieve maximum cooling on the ground what switch selections need to be made?

A

CABIN TEMP MODE___AUTO
VENT BLOWER___HI
BLEED AIR VALVES___ENVIR OFF
AFT BLOWER___ON

28
Q

Under what conditions can the ELECTRIC HEAT be operated?

A

Only with a generator online or external power connected and on the ground with the RH squat switch engaged.

29
Q

How does air enter the cabin if the cabin pressure switch is in the DUMP position?

A

RAM air

30
Q

How do you clear the cabin of Smoke and Fumes?

A

Dump cabin pressure and open the storm window below 13500ft
