Q

What are some things that will close the ECS packs?

A

Any engine start if APU is the bleed source
Engine start on the ground
Respective bleed system duct leak
Bleed air source not available for the pack
TL set to MAX on takeoff
REF A/I set to ALL on takeoff

Q

In manual mode will the cabin de pressurize on landing?

A

No

17
Q

Can the cabin altitude be raised higher than 12,400 ft?

A

Yes, by using manual mode.

Cabin altitude will rise due to natural leak

18
Q

What happens when the dump button is pressed?

A

Commands both ECS packs off

Opens OFV and raises the cabin to 12,400 feet at a rate of 2,000 fpm

(Recirculation fans also shut off)

19
Q

Where does the CPC get landing Field elevation (LFE)?

A

FMS or can be manually selected

20
Q

How many channels on the cabin pressure controller (CPC)?

A

2 channels, one active and one In standby mode

21
Q

When is the Emergency Ram Air Ventilation activated?

A

Both packs commanded or failed OFF below 25,000 ft (via left side and electronically controlled)

Ram Air Pressure greater than cabin pressure (via right side)

22
Q

What keeps the 3 avionic E-BAYs cool?

A

FWD & CTR E-BAY. 3 fans each pull air from cabin to bay

AFT E-BAY. Natural air-flow from cabin to bay

23
Q

When are the recirculation fans commanded off?

A

Cockpit switch

Smoke detected in the recirculation bay

DUMP button is pressed

Respective pack is commanded off

24
Q

Can a single bleed source power both packs?

A

Yes, through the crossbleed valve

25
Q

Can a single pack provide adequate temperature control and pressurization

A

Yes, up to FL 310

26
Q

How many ECS packs are on the airplane? What provides air for the packs?

A

2 independent packs (left and right)

Each engine provides bleed air to its respective pack

27
Q

Do both loops have to function in order to detect an overheat condition?

A

Yes, but if one fails the other will work alone to detect the overheat

28
Q

What does the Overheat Detection System ODS observe?

A

Engine bleeds and packs

APU bleed

Plumbing for the wing and engine anti-icing system

29
Q

What cools the precooler?

A

Ground. N1 fan

Flight N1 fan or ram air

30
Q

What is the purpose of the precooler?

A

Cools the bleed air coming from the engine to the AMS.

31
Q

What is normal pressure for any engine operation?

A

45 psi

32
Q

Where is the bleed air tapped from the engine?

A

6th and 10th stage compressors (EBV and HSV) respectively

System alternates between valves to regulate an adequate and safe pressure

33
Q

Can engine bleed air flow back to the APU?

A

No.

A check valve prevents flow-back

34
Q

What is the primary use for APU bleed air?

A

ECS on the ground
Engine starting on the ground
Electrical source (

35
Q

Where is the external ground source panel located?

A

Lower fairing between the wings

36
Q

What is external pneumatic air used for?

A

ECS on the ground

Engine start on the ground
