Q

The engine bleed air valve is ________ controlled (by the Engine BLEED Air switch) and is ____________ operated

A

electrically (DC power); pneumatically

17
Q

When does the BLEED TRIP OFF light illuminate?

A

When the engine bleed air temperature and/or pressure exceeds a predetermined limit (causes the bleed air valve to automatically close). Requires resetting

18
Q

T/F: It is normal for the DUAL BLEED light to be illuminated after selecting the APU BLEED Air switch to ON.

A

True

19
Q

The WING BODY OVERHEAT light indicates a ______________

A

bleed air leak

20
Q

T/F: Bleed air pressure and temperature control is fully automatic.

A

True

21
Q

______________ are installed to monitor bleed air system temperature and pressure.

A

Bleed trip sensors

22
Q

The engine bleed air valves are _________ controlled and ___________ operated once sufficient pressure is available.

A

electrically, pneumatically

23
Q

With ISOLATION VALVE in AUTO, under what circumstances will the valve close automatically?

A

Both engine BLEED Air switches ON and both air conditioning PACK switches in AUTO or HIGH

24
Q

With the ISOLATION VALVE switch in AUTO, under what circumstances will the valve open automatically?

A

placing any one of the PACK switches or Engine BLEED Air switches to the OFF position

25
Q

APU Bleed Air is available up to what altitude?

A

17,000 feet

26
Q

What is the purpose of the DUAL BLEED light?

A

To advise the crew of possible situations that may backpressure the APU (avoid engine thrust above idle with the light illuminated)

27
Q

When will the DUAL BLEED light illuminate?

A
  1. When the APU Bleed Air valve is open and the No. 1 Bleed Air switch is ON
  2. When the APU Bleed Air valve is open, the Isolation Valve is open, and the No. 2 Bleed Air switch is ON
28
Q

T/F: The WING-BODY OVERHEAT light can be reset by pressing the TRIP RESET switch on the Bleed Air Panel?

A

False. The respective pneumatic duct has to cool before the light will extinguish
