16
Q

What happens to pressurization if you loose both main generators

A

Engine bleeds will fail close so no more pressurization available. The cabin will slowly leak

17
Q

Is cabin limiter available in MAN mode

A

No it bypasses altitude limiter

18
Q

How to evacuate smoke from the cabin other then DUMP

A

Use manual mode to depressurize the cabin. Move the manual controller form 1 o’clock position to the right to raise the cabin altitude thus remove the smoke form the cabin

19
Q

What should you consider when evacuation the aircraft after landing

A

DUMP the cabin on the on the approach so you don’t have to wait for the aircraft to depressurize

20
Q

Airplane is pressurized by means of

A

Conditioned air form air conditioning system

21
Q

Pressurization is controlled in

A

Automatic mode and Manual mode

22
Q

Which compartment is not pressurized

A

Avionics bay

23
Q

How many outflow valves control air discharge

A

Two

24
Q

In AUTO mode which valve operational

A

Pneumatic and Electro-pneumatic

25
Q

In manual mode which valves are operational

A

Only pneumatic

26
Q

With the engines and electrical system off

A

Both valves are closed

27
Q

The cabin climb rate may be set between

A

200-1,450 fpm

28
Q

The cabin descend rate may be set between

A

150-1,000 fpm

29
Q

On the ground engines are running and electrical system is on

A

Both vales are open

30
Q

Manual controller rate

A

UP 2,500 fpm
DN -1,500 fpm

31
Q

DUMP mode

A

Depressurizes at 14,400 fpm to 13,000 ft

32
Q

The AUTO mode of setting the pressurization is always used unless

A

There is an electrical failure
The AUPO system fails
