CCS?
CCR?
CCS is Common Core System:
common computing network and data exchange for most airplane systems
CCR is Common Computing Resource, divides into left and right cabinets
CCS Startup sequence
Left CCR starts first, when battery switch pressed. It takes 2-3 minutes to come online. Left CCR is online when captain’s inboard and lower display show default pages.
Right CCR does not begin startup until left CCR sequence is complete, and a power source other than the battery is available (either FWD external power switch shows AVAIL). Both CCRs are online when all displays and the HUD combiners show default displays.
If CCRs operating normally, are there any controls or indications?
No. It’s all automatic.
CCR RESET switches?
CCR fault may result in the loss of displays. The switches can restore power to the displays, per the checklists in the EFB.
Heat source for OFCR?
Cabin Zone D duct. Temperature can only be increased from this duct temp.
Below what altitude does the OFAR have no ventilation?
15,000 ft
Occupancy restrictions on OFAR?
Not to be occupied during taxi, TO or LDG operations.
Requirements for OFCR occupancy?
Must be United pilot trained in decompression, evacuation and fire-fighting procedures for the OFCR.
Landing lights
Where are they and what are they optimized for?
Two in wing roots optimized for flare and rollout.
Two on nose gear optimized for approach.
Are nose landing lights on when gear is up?
No. Extinguished in retracted position.
Are taxi lights on when gear is up?
No. Extinguished in retracted position.
Where are the taxi lights located?
They are located on the non-steerable portion of the nose gear.
What does the storm light switch do?
Illuminates at full brightness:
L and R forward panel floods Glare shield floods Aisle stand floods Forward dome lights All annunciator lights
Standby electrical powers which cockpit lights?
Primary displays
Following illuminate at fixed brightness:
Aisle stand
L and R forward panel floods
Glareshield floods
Dome lights
MASTER BRIGHT switch?
Inner:
In: MASTER BRIGHTNESS control is ON
Out: MASTER BRIGHTNESS control is OFF
Outer: overrides brightness settings and controls all panel lights and displays.
NOT: HUD, dome, floods, areas, stby compass, handset and annunciators.
SEAT BELT SIGNS switch in AUTO?
Seatbelt signs automatically illuminate when ANY:
Landing gear lever not up and locked
Flaps 5 or greater
Aircraft below airline-defined altitude
Cabin altitude above 10,000 ft
Passenger oxygen on
Sterile flight deck lights?
Above flight attendant stations
Automatically illuminate when altitude below 10,000 ft and parking brake not set
How long do emergency lighting batteries provide power?
At least 10 minutes
EMER LIGHTS Eicas?
The emergency lights switch is not in the ARMED position or the emergency lights are on.
IND LTS switch to TEST:
While switch held in TEST position:
Illuminates all annunciators to full bright for 10 secs, then dims lights for 20 secs.
If switch held >30 secs, all lights that were illuminated PRIOR to TEST go full bright.
All displays windows on MCP blink for 2 seconds, then off for 1 second and repeat until released.
Passenger oxygen system type:
Gaseous oxygen stored in small high pressure cylinders, providing pulses of oxygen, shorter at low altitude, longer pulses at high altitude.
Oxygen available for approx. 60 minutes.
