Oral Gouge Flashcards
Is there any indication to ground personnel that there is a problem with the system?
The crew call horn in the nose wheel well will sound.
Will the PSEU light come on for a simple fault?
No, but it will show for a simple fault upon the recall switch being pressed
We’re cleared for takeoff, advance the engines, see them stabilize at 40%, and then press TO/GA. What will the flight directors do at that point?
Command 10 degrees nose down
What is the purpose of the Bus Transfer system?
Allows the AC transfer busses to be powered from the offside GEN Bus in the event that the onside generator bus becomes unpowered (occurs automatically with the switch in the AUTO position).
What are the maximum and minimum hydraulic system pressures?
3,500; 2,800
What two different ways do we have to close the spar valve in the wing leading edge?
The engine fire switch and the engine start lever can both be used to close the spar valve.
When will the RAM AIR doors move to the full open position?
On the ground, or in flight with the flaps out of up.
Which of the dual bleed configurations will not result in the dual bleed light being illuminated?
Ground air connected with the APU bleed air valve open and isolation valve open
What happens when the APU fire switch is pulled?
- Arms the APU extinguisher circuit
- Closes the APU fuel shutoff valve, APU bleed air valve, and APU inlet door
- Trips the generator control relay and breaker
- Allows the APU fire switch to rotate
When will the wing anti-ice switch automatically trip to the off position?
At lift-off
If pressure fueling is not available, which tanks can be filled directly using over wing fueling?
Both main tanks ON THE 400 ONLY. No overwing fueling on the -800
How can we disarm the autobrakes after landing?
- Moving the speedbrake lever to the down detent
- Advancing the thrust levers after touchdown
- Applying manual brakes
- Selecting to off
What bus is engine and APU fire detection on?
Battery Bus
Will the wing anti-ice work on the ground?
Yes.
When the AUTO BRAKES selector is positioned to RTO or one of the landing settings, if the AUTOBRAKE DISARM light illuminates briefly, is that normal?
Yes. It is conducting a self-test. Extinguishing of the light indicates that the test was succesful
How do we provide warmer air for the zones which need warmer air?
Using the trim air system.
Can the APU power both Generator Busses in flight?
Both Transfer busses can be powered on the ground or inflight (-800)
What is the Elevator Feel System?
The elevator feel system uses the elevator feel computer to provide simulated aerodynamic forces using airspeed (from the elevator pitot system) and stabilizer position. Feel is transmitted to the control columns by the elevator feel and centering unit. To operate the feel system the elevator feel computer uses either hydraulic system A or B pressure, whichever is higher. When either hydraulic system or elevator feel pitot system fail, excessive differential pressure is sensed in the elevator feel computer, and the FEEL DIFF PRESS light illuminates
What is Mach Trim?
Above Mach .615, the Mach trim system automatically adjusts the elevators with respect to the stabilizer as speed increases. The Mach trim actuator repositions the elevator feel and centering unit, which adjusts the control column neutral position.
What happens when the ENGINE START switch is moved to the GRD position?
- Opens the start valve
- Closes the engine bleed air valve
- Provides ignition to the selected ignitor(s) when the engine start lever is moved to IDLE
When will the takeoff warning horn sound?
- Trailing edge flaps not in the flaps 5 to 15 takeoff range, or
- Leading edge devices not in takeoff position, or
- Speed brake lever not in the down detent
- Stab trim not in the takeoff range
- Parking brake set
- Main Cargo Deck Door not properly closed, latched, and locked
Which surfaces are protected by the Wing Anti-Ice?
The 3 leading edge inboard slats (but not the leading edge flaps)
During the Secure Procedure, when the IRS Mode Selector is moved to OFF, what should you see on the IRS Mode Selector Unit?
The ALIGN light should illuminate until the system is completely shut down (approximately 30 seconds).
If the fuel filter bypass light illuminates, what is indicated?
Impending fuel filter bypass due to a contaminated filter
How many hydraulic systems do we have, and what are they?
A, B, Standby
Which ignition system, Left or Right, is considered more critical? Why?
The right is more critical, since it is powered by the AC Standby Bus, and would therefore still be powered even with the loss of all AC gens (Left is powered by the AC Transfer Bus)
What stage bleed air does the anti-ice use?
5th and 9th; the same as the pneumatic system
Why would we want to use the ON position as opposed to the AUTO position for the Supernumerary signs?
In auto:
- the no smoking sign will extinguish when the gear is retracted.
- Seat belt/return to seat signs will extinguish when the flaps and gear are retracted
What systems are powered by the hydraulic systems?
- flight controls
- leading edge flaps and slats
- trailing edge flaps
- landing gear
- wheel brakes
- nose wheel steering
- thrust reversers
- autopilots
What temperature air is provided by the packs?
The temperature that will satisfy the zone which needs the coolest air.
What percentage of N2 does the EEC become energized during start?
15%
Are autobrakes available using the alternate brake system?
No. They are only available with the use of the normal brake system.
Where are the outboard landing lights?
The outboard flap fairing.
When is the PSEU light inhibited?

Excessive differential pressure in the elevator feel computer
What is the first light that should illuminate when we move the IRS Mode Selector the the NAV position?
The ON DC light should illuminate, indicating a short power test is being performed
Will the master fire warning light illuminate and the fire warning bell sound if smoke is detected on the main cargo deck on the -800?
No
If the primary landing gear indication system isn’t functioning, how would we verify that the main landing gear is down and locked?
Via the secondary main landing gear down and lock indicators on the after overhead panel
With all six fuel pumps in the off position, how many fuel pump LOW PRESSURE lights should be illuminated?
4, The center tank low pressure lights will not be illuminated when the pump switches are in the off position
Is there any decrease in airplane controllability with the loss of a single hydraulic system?
No
If a leak develops in one of the engine driven hydraulic pumps, will all fluid quantity be lost?
No. A standpipe in the reservoir will prevent total system loss if a leak develops in the engine driven hydraulic pump or related lines (22% for system A, 40% for system B).

- Positioning the ALTERNATE FLAPS master switch to ARM
What hydraulic system powers landing gear extension and retraction?
System A
How long does it take to complete a normal alignment?
Approximately 10 minutes
With the wing anti-ice selected on while on the ground, what will cause the wing anti-ice valves to close?
- Either engine thrust is above the takeoff warning setting, or
- Either temperature sensor detects a duct over temp
Is antiskid available with the alternate brake system?
Yes. But antiskid is limited to wheel pairs instead of individual wheels.
Will the wing anti-ice work with the slats extended?
Yes
Will the engine anti-ice work both in flight and on the ground?
Yes
Is there an alternate means for extending the landing gear if system A hydraulics are lost?
Yes. The manual gear extension system releases the uplocks and allows the gear to extending via gravity and air loads.
If a leak develops in the standby hydraulic system, will system B also be lost?
No. Although the hydraulic system B quantity will decrease until indicating approximately 72%.
Since the oxygen bottles next to the supernumerary seats are not controlled by the passenger oxygen switch, does that switch even do anything on our airplanes?
Yes, it activates passenger oxygen in the lavatory
What are we testing with the Extinguisher TEST switch?
The circuitry, not the bottles themselves
What primary flight controls may still be operated with the loss of all hydraulic systems?
Ailerons and elevators (control forces will be higher due to friction and aerodynamic loads)
What is the first light that should illuminate when we move the IRS Mode Selector the the NAV position?

What is indicated if the SPEED TRIM FAIL light illuminates when the Master Caution recall light recall is pressed, and extinguishes when the master caution system is reset?
Single channel failure of the FCC
What systems can be powered by the standby hydraulic system?
- Thrust reversers
- Rudder
- Leading edge flaps and slats (extend only)
If AC fuel pumps are not operating, how is fuel supplied to the APU?
Fuel is suction fed to the APU from the number 1 tank if the AC fuel pumps are not operating. On some airplanes, a DC fuel pump provides positive fuel pressure to the APU, but only until the APU is at governed speed and ready to accept a load.
What kind of pumps do hydraulic systems A and B have?
1 engine driven pump, and one AC electric motor-driven pump per system
When is the Feel Differential Pressure light armed?
Trailing edge flaps are up or down
What happens when the FLT CONTROL switch is moved to the OFF position?
