Q
  1. When does a pack automatically switch to “high air flow?”
A
  • With one pack not operating, the other pack automatically switches to “high air flow” in order to maintain the necessary ventilation rate.

If both engine BLEED Air Switches are OFF and the APU BLLED Air Switch is on (regardless of flap position, air/ground status, or number of packs operating)
