Flaps and Slats (1/2 speed)
AC essential bus
Stab trim Channel 2
Hydraulic pump 3B
What would cause the FAULT light on the IDG to illuminate?
HOTLOP
High oil temp and/or low oil pressure
What will cause the AC ESS XFER switch light to illuminate?
Anytime the AC essential bus is not being powered by AC BUS 1
What is the priority for the Auto XFER?
On side generator
APU
Offside generator
External power
What would cause the FAIL light to illuminate on the AUTO XFER switch light?
The GCU has detected a bus fault or a generator over current
When the LH or RH ENG FIRE PUSH switch lights are selected, what happens?
(Fuck Harry, Bertha Got Squibs)
Fuel SOV closes HYD SOV closes Bleed Air SOV closes Generator is taken offline Squibs are armed
What happens if a crew member selects the L HYD SOV?
The left HYD SOV closes and the flow of hydraulic fluid is shut off to the engine driven pump (EDP)
