Q

How is bleed air intially cooled after passing through the engine bleed air valve?

A

it is intially cooled by air that routes from the engine fan air to a pre cooler that then cools the bleed air before in continues into the manifold. there is a termostat control that controls the pre cooler valve to regulate the bleed air temp within limits

Q

is 9th stage bleed air hotter than 5th stage?

A

yes, higher temp and pressure, pre cooler will require more cooling air at this time

Q

During ground use of engine anti icing what position should the APU bleed air valve be in?

A

closed, this prevents the APU from backpressuring the 9th stage valve, if the 9th stage valve were to close there might not be enough engine bleed air for cowl anti icing

Q

how does the “OFF” light work for the fans? E/E

A

The off light is activated by a thermal “no-airflow” detector.

if there is lackoff cooling airflow over the small heater, the small heater will cause the detector to sense the lack of airflow and the OFF light will come on.

selecting the alternate fan should cause the airflow to be restored within 5 seconds the light will go out

Q

If you are on the ground what happens the E/E exhaust air? what about in the air?

A

on the ground or low cabin differential pressure the exhaust is ducted overboard through the overboard exhaust valve.

in the air when the cabin differential air is high, the overboard exhaust valve is closed and the exhaust is routed around (NOT INTO) the foward cargo compartment. the warm air around the forward cargo compartment keeps the compartment liner warm. THIS AIR IS THEN DISHCARGED OVERBOARD VIA THE OUTFLOW VALVE

A

battery power to the GRD postion signals the pneumatic operated start valve to open while closing the engine bleed valve

87
Q

engine start switch CONT what does it do?

what about auto?

what about FLT

A

provides ignition to selected ignitors when:

  • engine is operating and engine start lever is in IDLE
  • in flight: provides ignition to both igniters when N2 is below idle and engine start lever is in IDLE

AUTO: provides automatic ignition to selected igniters when

  • engine is running and
  • flaps are not up below 18,000 or
  • engine anti-ice is selected to ON

FLT: causes bpth igniters to operated regardless of the ignition selecter position

its mode selector is moved to OFF, ALIGN or ATT
a loss of both AC and DC power
or
the FAULT light comes on

105

A

NO

108
Q

When do we need to do an engine run up?

A

when the OAT is 3c or less:
- check that the area behind you is clear

  • run up to a minimum of 70% N1 for approx and confirm stable engine operation before the start of the takeoff roll. A 30 second run-up is highly recommended whnever possible
109
Q

When must engine anti-ice be on during flight?

A

all icing conditions except during climb and cruise when the SAT is -40C

when operating in areas of possible icing, activate engine anti-ice before entering icing conditions

110
Q

what is the primary method of using wing anti-ice in flight

A

let the ice build up and then turn it on, this procedures provides the cleanest airfoil surface and least possible runback ice formation / least thrust / fuel penalty
