- Packs are off
- Press the button
- Smoke detected in the fwd cargo bay or recirculation Bay
- Dump button is pressed
What happens when the Dump Button is pressed
- Both Packs commanded off
2. Open OFV and raises the cabin altitude to 12,400 at 2000fpm
What is the bleed system priority
- Onside Engine
- Opposite Side Engine
- APU
When will the XBLD valve open Automatically
- Only one side bleed source is detected
- Engine start 2 in the air
- Engine 1 start in the air with no APU Available.
What will command the Packs off
- Engine Starts
- System Duct Leak
- No bleed air available from its side.
- TL Set to Max Takeoff
