17
Q

17) What does an amber FAULT light in the HOT AIR pushbutton indicate?

A

Duct overheat (valve and trim air valves close automatically)

18
Q

18) How many Air Conditioning System Controllers are there?

A

Two

19
Q

19) Describe how the Air Conditioning System Controllers regulate temperature?

A

Modulating the bypass valve and ram air inlet of its associated pack

20
Q

20) What occurs when an active lane of an Air Conditioning System Controller fails?

A

No effect. The second takes over.

21
Q

21) What occurs when both lanes of an Air Conditioning System Controller fail?

A

Related pack is lost

Hot air and pressure regulating valve and trim air valve closes

22
Q

22) How does the Air Conditioning System Controller configure its associated pack ram air inlet flap for takeoff and landing to avoid the ingestion of foreign matter?

A

Closes

23
Q

23) If an air cycle machine (ACM) fails, what occurs?

A

Affected pack may be operated in heat exchanger cooling mode

24
Q

24) What effect will the engine start sequence have on the pack flow control valves?

A

Closes and doesn’t open for 60 secs to allow for start of other engine

25
Q

25) What logic controls the X-Bleed valve when the X-BLEED switch is in AUTO?

A

Valve will open and close automatically when:

  • APU bleed valve open, X Bleed opens
  • APU bleed valve closes, X Bleed closes
  • System detects a leak, X Bleed closes
26
Q

26) After engine start with the APU BLEED pushbutton ON, what source is supplying bleed air to the packs?

A

APU

27
Q

27) The pneumatic system is monitored and controlled by what?

A

Two Bleed Monitoring Computers (BMC1 & BMC2)

28
Q

28) If one BMC fails, can the other take over?

A

Yes

29
Q

29) What does the amber FAULT light in the APU BLEED pushbutton indicate?

A

Leak

30
Q

30) What causes the amber FAULT light on the ENG 1 BLEED and/or ENG 2 BLEED pushbutton (OOLD)?

A
  • Overpressure
  • Overheat
  • Leak (wing or pylon)
  • Valve not closed during start or when APU bleed on
31
Q

31) What are the two functions of the engine bleed valves?

A
  • Shut off

- Pressure regulating

32
Q

32) When does the Lav/Galley Extract Fan operate?

A

Continually (when electric power available)

33
Q

33) What is the purpose of the CAB FANS?

A

Recirculate and combine cold fresh air from packs and cabin air

34
Q

34) With BLOWER and EXTRACT pushbuttons in AUTO how does the system operate?

A 
Ground
- Open, skin temp 9 degrees or higher
- Closed, skin temp 12 C or lower
In Flight
- Intermediate, skin temp 32 C or higher
- Closed, skin temp. 35 C or lower
35
Q

35) With both BLOWER and EXTRACT pushbuttons in OVRD (smoke configuration) what are the positions of the INLET and OUTLET (EXTRACT) valves?

A

Inlet closes & outlet/extract opens

36
Q

36) What is the status of the Blower and Extract fans with the Blower and Extract pushbuttons in OVRD?

A

Blower fan stops & extract fan continues to run

37
Q

37) When is air conditioning introduced into the avionics compartment?

A

In smoke configuration (closed configuration)

38
Q

38) Is the skin heat exchanger valve ever closed in flight?

A

Yes, closed configuration

39
Q

39) What does an amber FAULT light on the BLOWER pushbutton indicate?

A
  • Pressure is low
  • Duct overheats
  • Computer power supply fails
  • Smoke warning activated
40
Q

40) What does an amber FAULT light on the EXTRACT pushbutton indicate?

A
  • Pressure low
  • Computer power supply fails
  • Smoke warning activated
41
Q

41) With 2 FAULT lights on the VENTILATION panel are there any other indications?

A

SMOKE on EMER ELEC PWR - GEN 1 pb

42
Q

42) What does the CARGO HEAT HOT AIR amber FAULT light indicate?

A

Duct overheat
