Question 10

What does the FAIL light mean on the AUTO XFER switchlight (for the AC BUS) on the EPCP?

Answer 10

Illuminates for a bus fault (Priority/Auto transfer system automatically inhibited). Associated AC bus can not be powered by the APU or the offside generator and cannot be reset in the air

Question 11

What does OFF mean on the AUTO XFER switchlight (for the AC bus) on the EPCP?

Answer 11

OFF: Press in to disable the priority/auto transfer system, OFF illuminates white. Press again to restore normal operation

Question 12

Answer 16

Push In: Opens the gravity crossflow valve. The OPEN light illuminates

Question 17

What happens when you RELEASE OUT the GRAVITY XFLOW switchlight on the FCP?

Answer 17

Release Out: Closes the gravity crossflow valve. The OPEN light extinguishes

Question 18

What does the FAIL portion mean on the GRAVITY XFLOW switchlight on the FCP?

Answer 18

FAIL: The gravity crossflow valve is not in the commanded position

Question 19

What happens when you push in the L/R XFLOW switchlight on the FCP?

Answer 19
