Overhead Panel Poster Flashcards
(1) FLIGHT DECK ACCESS LIGHTS Switch
Additional Access Lights switches are located on the overhead maintenance panel, at the right UPPER DECK crew service door, and at the Main Equipment Center Lower Hatch
Push (any switch) - when the airplane is powered by the ground handling bus, illuminates exit or entry path to or from flight deck; activates the following:
* Main Equipment Center lights
* direct ceiling light door 2
* direct ceiling lights upper deck
Second push (any switch) - extinguishes exit or entry path lighting.
(1) Ground (GND) TESTS Switch
ENABLE - allows Central Maintenance Computer to initiate ground tests of
airplane systems.
NORM (Normal - guard closed) - systems configured for flight.
The ELT activates when ARMED by high deceleration forces or when the ELT switch is ON. The ELT can be deactivated by moving the ELT switch to RESET momentarily (between 1 and 3 seconds), then ARMED
(1) LED Indicator (Amber)
Illuminates to indicate ELT has activated.
(2) ELT control switch
ON – Activates ELT
ARMED – ELT system is armed, crash situation will automatically activate ELT.
TEST/RESET – Placing the switch momentarily to TEST/RESET will reset either automatic or manual activation of the ELT system. The switch is spring loaded from the TEST/RESET position back to the ARMED position.
Fuselage mounted fixed ELT installed forward of door 5
In addition portable ELT on upper deck LAV wall
(1) Electronic (ELEC) Engine (ENG) CONTROL Switches
NORM (Normal) -
* selects normal engine control mode
* GE - electronic engine control sets thrust using N1 RPM as the controlling parameter
-Based on Thrust Lever Position (Manually or via Autothrottles)
-Constant thrust kept independent of ambient temp and psi and bleed system demands
-Thrust limited to Max N1 at full forward position
Alternate -
* selects alternate engine control mode (manual or automatically)
* Does not provide thrust limiting at maximum N1 (can be reached before full forward thrust lever)
* Thrust levers adjusted to maintain desired thrust as environmental conditions and bleed demands change
* Any EEC - Alt mode, Autothrottles Disconnect, can be reconnected after all EECs transferred to alternate mode
* Provides equal or greater thrust than normal for same thrust lever position, when EEC auto changes, no change in thrust, if manually changed thrust increases. Thrust greater than idle, move thrust lever back prior to manually selecting alternate mode to avoid exceeding N1
(2) EEC Alternate (ALTN) Lights
Illuminated (amber) - alternate engine control mode selected.

(1) IRU Mode Selectors
IRU mode selector must be pulled out to move from NAV position. OFF - alignment lost.
ALIGN (alignment)- when parked and momentarily selected:
* initiates alignment
* removes sensor errors when selected from navigation mode
NAV (navigation) -
* system enters navigation mode after completing alignment
* provides IRS information to airplane systems for normal operations
ATT (attitude) -
* system enters attitude mode
* position and velocity information lost until system realigned on ground
* requires magnetic heading input from CDU
IRUs Calculate:
-Position
-Acceleration
-Track
-Vertical Speed
-Ground Speed
-True and Magnetic Heading
-Wind Speed and Direction
-Attitude data
Used by:
-Displays
-FMS
-Flight Controls
-Engine Controls
-Other Systems
-Present Position must be entered on CDU pos init page to complete alignment
-18 hours, full alignment must be completed, by selecting OFF then back to NAV, must be parked and takes approximately 10 minutes
-AC is main power source
-DC (APU Hott Batt) is backup, Center, IRU will only operate on DC for 5 minutes then shuts down
