Q

What is the ADS reversion logic?

A

CA data comes from ADS 1. FO comes from ADS 2.

If ADS 1 fails, it automatically reverts to ADS 3.

If ADS 2 fails, it automatically reverts to ADS 3.

*If another reversion occurs, it will be cross side. (ADS 1 reverts to ADS 2. ADS 2 reverts to ADS 1).

39
Q

What is the purpose of the fuel scavenge ejector pumps?

A

They pull fuel from the main tanks to the collector tanks to ensure that the collector tanks always have enough fuel to supply the engines.

40
Q

What is the purpose of the main ejector pumps?

A

They pull from the collector tanks to supply the engines with fuel.

41
Q

With the knob in AUTO, when will the AC fuel pump 1 and 2 turn on?

A

– Onside engine during engine starts.
– Cross side during crossfeed operations.
– APU starting or running without engine 2 running (AC pump 2)
– Main ejector pump fail.

42
Q

800 lbs. Goes away at 100 lbs.

49
Q

In a dual engine failure, which fuel pump would provide fuel to relight an engine?

A

AC Fuel Pump 2 (Once the RAT is powered up. It is on AC ESS BUS.)

50
Q

When will the FADEC automatically abort an engine start?

A
  • Hung start

53
Q

What happens if the dump button is pressed while the mode selector is in AUTO?

58
Q

What does the negative pressure relief valve do?

A

59
Q

What does the cabin pressure controller (CPC) do?

A

A

a. Takeoff: Flaps > 0 and either TOGA or groundspeed greater than 50 knots
b. Landing: WnotOW, flaps > 0
c. Onside EDP or engine fail
d. ACMP 2 only: engine 1 started and parking brake released (but ACMP2 will then shut off
if parking brake applied for 6 minutes; if drop the brake, ACMP2 will start again)

61
Q

A

Whenever pump 3A fails in flight.

62
Q

What aircraft functions utilize the hydraulic system?

A
  • Landing gear
  • Brakes
  • Nosewheel steering
  • Flight control surfaces (including spoilers)
  • Reversers
63
Q

What is the purpose of the PTU?

A

The PTU assists the landing gear retraction or extension, should a right engine or right EDP failure occur.

64
Q

In AUTO, when would the PTU activate?

A

IF:
– Flaps not set to zero or Landing Gear not up and locked;
– EDP 1 not fail;
– Hydraulic reservoir 2 quantity above 12%.

PTU will then activate if there is an EDP 2 or engine 2 failure.

NOTE: PTU will not be activated if the airplane is on ground.

65
Q

Which hydraulic pumps are available during a dual IDG failure?

A

Assuming no AC power, EDP 1 and EDP 2 would still be functional. So would 3A because of the RAT powering the AC ESS BUS.

66
Q

Which hydraulic pumps would be available during a dual engine failure?

A

Assuming no APU, system 3A only.

67
Q

What is the purpose of the hydraulic PBIT?

A

The Hydraulic PBIT provides a functional test of the flight control actuators.

68
Q

A

Initiated: Only on the ground, when all three hydraulic systems are pressurized.

Interrupted: Movement of any flight control surface.

Duration: 1 minute

69
Q

What is the purpose of an electrical PBIT?

A

The Electrical PBIT provides detection of out-of-tolerance conditions and failures in the FCMs, P-ACEs and SF-ACEs.

70
Q

What initiates an electrical PBIT? What interrupts it? How long does it take?

A

A

Normal mode: Control input - ACE - FCM - ACE - PCU

Direct mode: Control input - ACE - PCU
