Q

What do the WING-BODY OVERHEAT, BLEED TRIP OFF, and DUAL BLEED amber lights on the Bleed Air Panel indicate?

A

a. WING-BODY OVERHEAT: a duct leak in a critical area
b. BLEED TRIP OFF - Sensors around the Bleed air Valve sense an over temp/pressure
c. DUAL BLEED – 2 sources on left duct, APU and Eng 1 bleed, or Eng 2 bleed and isolation valve open

17
Q

How is the forward cargo compartment heated?

A

Exhaust air from the E/E bay via equipment cooling fans

18
Q

The aft cargo compartment?

A

Aft cargo is unheated

19
Q

What do the PACK amber lights on the Bleed Air Panel indicate?

A

Overheat or failure of a pack controllers

20
Q

What causes these lights to illuminate?

A

Immediately for overheat or dual controller failure, during recall for single pack controller failure

21
Q

. What happens with the Master Caution light during a failure of Primary pack control?

A

Nothing.

22
Q

. Standby pack control?

A

Nothing. Single failure is only shown in recall

23
Q

. A single pack in high flow mode can maintain pressurization and comfort up to what altitude?

A

41,000

24
Q

Explain the auto logic for high airflow during normal operations and with a pack or engine failure.

A

In AUTO: Pack fails or engine fails? Automatically goes into HIGH with the flaps up

25
Q

What controls pack temperature control?

A

Zone that needs the most cooling is what decides what the packs do, then the Trim Air System regulates the
other 2 zones

26
Q

What is the purpose of the recirculation fans?

A

a. Reduction of bleed air demand and recirculates air
b. RIGHT recirc fan takes air from holes in floor and runs it to mix manifold
LEFT recirc fan takes in air from the air conditioning distribution compartment

27
Q

What is the purpose of the Equipment Cooling System?

A

a. Cools electronic equipment in the Flight Deck and the E/E bay. Warms Fwd cargo bay, Smoke removal

28
Q

What does the EQUIP COOLING OFF (amber) light indicate?

A

Low flow from Equipment Cooling Fan.

29
Q

What causes the AUTO FAIL and OFF SCHED DESCENT amber lights to illuminate?

A

AUTO FAIL - one or both pressurization channels are INOP
b. OFF SCHED DESCENT - descent without reaching initial cruise altitude.

30
Q

How does the primary heat exchanger lower the bleed air temperature?

A

Ram air flow augmented with an induction impeller driven by an extension of ACM shaft.

31
Q

What is indicated by a bright blue RAM DOOR FULL OPEN light? Dim blue? Extinguished?

A

Bright Ram door is in the full open position
Dim=Never happens
Extinguished= closed or modulating

32
Q

What do the ALTN (green) light and MANUAL (green) light on the Cabin Pressurization panel indicate?

A

a. ALTN - Alternate mode activated
b. MANUAL - manual mode

33
Q

What causes these lights to illuminate?

A

a. ALTN- manually selected or main CPC unit has failed
b. MANUAL- mode selected to manual pressurization

34
Q

What does the Pressurization Mode Selector do?

A

Selects either auto, alt, or man pressurization

35
Q

Describe the 3 temperature control zones

A

Control cabin (cockpit), Forward cabin, Aft cabin

36
Q

. What does an illuminated ZONE TEMP (amber) light indicate?

A

Overheat in associated ducting, or double controller failure

37
Q

What happens with the Master Caution light when ZONE TEMP illuminates?

A

Master caution illuminates. Not inhibited

38
Q

What is the purpose of the Mix Manifold?

A

Joins recirculated air with conditioned air from PACK, distributes to pax cabin

39
Q

On the Cabin Pressurization Panel, what do the FLT ALT indicator and LAND ALT indicator display?

A

a. FLT ALT- scheduled cruise alt for pressurization
b. LAND ALT- Landing airport altitude (schedule)

40
Q

What are indications and impact of a panel failure?

A

Display 8888888, if all is normal nothing is affected. If Display ———— controller failed, manual mode

41
Q

What is indicated by the CABIN ALTITUDE (red) light and the Cabin Altitude Warning Horn? How can this horn be
silenced?

A

> 10000’ cabin alt. Alt horn cutout by cabin alt gauge silences.

42
Q

What does AUTO FAIL light indicate?

A

Dual controller failure or Single controller fail if ALTN is on
