Tech

Question 1

Throttle augmentation.

Answer 1

Compensates for slow response in throttle movements by deploying slats

Question 2

Flap anti balloon

Answer 2

Alt hold prevents pitching movement on flap deploying

Therefore spoiler scheduleing prevents ballooning

Question 3

Flight control surfaces

Answer 3

8 spoilers
2 outboard ailerons

8 slats

Two rudders

Two elevators

Question 4

ALS

Answer 4

Alpha limit system

Prevents deep stall

Stops high angles of attack

Question 5

PRCAH

Answer 5

Pitch rate command/attitude hold

Engages whilst airborne

Question 6

Stabiliser

Answer 6

The horizontal Tailplane full movement

Question 7

Single hydraulic failure

Answer 7

Effect spoilers by 25%

• degrades DLC
• small degradation of max speed brakes
• May effect roll performance

Question 8

Fire detection system

Answer 8

Each engine and the APU
DC battery bus
Two loops with a FDCU
Both loops must be energised for MAster caution
1 means loop light only

Question 9

Engine extinguisher

Answer 9

Halon 1301
A and B Extinguisher with 2 lines running into 1 engine on each wing
1 system on each wing

Question 10

Fuel tank capacity

Answer 10

Non ER

Tank 1&4
37,760 each

Tank 2&3
52,640 each

ER

Tank 2&3 84,540
Uses central spare

Question 11

Automatic fuel transfer

Answer 11

Whenever the inboard tanks have more than 38,000 pounds they automatically keep the outboard tanks full

Below this the outboard tank fill valve closes

Question 12

Basic fuel tank system

Answer 12

Forward and aft fuel compartments
Booster pumps sit in forward engine feed box
Transfer pumps sit in the aft section of the tanks
Fuel is kept forward for Cof G

Question 13

Malfunction of the FQC

Answer 13

MC calculates on last known quantities

Question 14

Low fuel on WAP
Low fuel on total fuel

Answer 14

Less than 4,000 in tank
Less than 16,000 combined

Question 15

Fuel quantity measurements reliable?

Answer 15

+- 5 degrees pitch attitudes
FQGS beyond -10 to +18
During tach descents up to 10,000 pounds error

Question 16

MANF Drain

Answer 16

Manifold drain
Drain manifold of fuel and moves it to right inboard tanks

Question 17

At what fuel quantities do the outboard/inboard fuel transfer pumps become ineffective

Answer 17

28,000 in

12,000 out

Question 18

SCHD

Answer 18

Schedule on fuel pannel

Inboard tank unable to automatically transfer fuel forward from aft tank. Has to be done manually

Question 19

FWD AFT

Answer 19

Fuel panel

Forward and aft boos pumps

Low captions illuminate at certain high nose pitch forward attitudes

Question 20

SCHD
Man

Answer 20

Fuel management System
Allows manual transfer override

Question 21

How is the aircraft refuelled?

Answer 21

Gravity - top of wing tanks

SPR - single point refuel (1,100gpm)

Defuel - 200 gpm

Question 22

SPR panel

Answer 22

Single point refuelling panel
Located starboard behind the wheel well

Question 23

Fuel higher level test

Answer 23

Shit of valve prevents fuel being added when tank is full. Can be preset if below max refuelling

Question 24

Max fuel dump

Answer 24

6,700lbs per min

Automatically stops at 20,000lbs fuel
