Q

How do we control cabin pressure?

A

By the amount of air we let OUT of the cabin

23
Q

What does the cabin triple indicator indicate?

A
  • Pointer: cabin altitude
  • Unmarked Pointer: indicated rate of change
  • Red and White Pointer: pressure differential
24
Q

What does the cabin controller knob do?

A

Used to set desired cabin altitude and rate of change

25
Q

What does the outflow/safety valves do?

A

Allows controlled outflow of cabin air

26
Q

What does the vent valve do?

A

Allows air to exit the cabin - can be used to clear smoke, will depressurize cabin

27
Q

What are the pressure regulators in the pressurization system, and when do they activate?

A

Safety devices that shut both outflow valves if cabin altitude reaches 13,500’ ± 1,500’

28
Q

When does the CABIN ALTITUDE warning go off?

A

Annunciator and horn sound at cabin altitude of 9,300’ ± 300’; horn can be inhibited with flaps selected greater than 15

Cabin altitude warnings rescheduled to 14,000’ ± 300’ if the CABIN HIGH DATUM switch is selected

29
Q

How is the cabin altitude selector set in flight?

A

Outer ring: cabin altitude
Inner ring: cruise altitude

For cruise altitudes of 25,000’ or more, select cruise altitude plus 2,000’

For cruise altitudes lower than 25,000’, set 2,000’ above departure airport altitude

For landing, set outer scale to airport elevation plus 0-400’ depending on altimeter setting
