Q

What is the function of the safety valve and when does it open?

A

Opens automatically between 6.15 and 6.35 psi

17
Q

What does the check valve do?

A

Prevent high pressure air from entering the control unit when a system blockage occurs

18
Q

What is the function of the ejector valve?

A

Operates the outflow valve

19
Q

What is the function of the solenoid valve?

A

Depressurizes aircraft from the squat switch or the condition lever

20
Q

Cabin rate of climb can be adjusted within what range?

A

100 fpm and 2000 fpm

21
Q

Pulling the ECS emergency shutoff handle does what?

A

Closes the outflow valve
Opens the ram air scoop

22
Q

When would you get a cabin pressure warning on the CAWS panel?

A

Cabin altitude 10,500 (+/- 200)
>5.75 psi differential

23
Q

Set cabin altitude is maintained unless…

A

AC descends below selected altitude
AC climbs and max pressure differential is reached
Pilot changes the setting

24
Q

What cabin altitude would be reached at 30,000’?

25
Where should the controller be set for landing?
500’ above field elevation
26
Cabin rate of descent should be set how?
To achieve LFE set prior to getting to that altitude (descend the cabin faster than you get there)
27
What ensures no pressure bump when landing?
Cabin pressure will maintain 150’ (+/- 100) below field elevation on landing
28
What should you do if the cabin controller fails?
Use manual control
29
Where should you check pressurization during flight?
After takeoff and at 10,000’
