24
Class D Compartments
inaccessible cargo and baggage no fire detection designed so fire will be confined to that area
25
what must all classes of compartments have
ventilation must be controlled
26
Class E compartment
cargo aircraft no windows, special shades fire resistant must have smoke/fire detector able to shut off flow to compartment controllable from flight deck able to isolate smoke, flames, gases from flight deck
27
Spot detectors
monitor one specific location produces current when heated
28
continuous loop detector
monitors greater area ceramic changes resistance with heat, more current flow = detection
29
smoke detection purpose
deter smoke present in a specific zone
30
photoelectric cell smoke detector
air sampled. if 10% visible smoke particles, the light sensor sends electrical signal to the warning system controller
31
ion detector smoke detector
smoke is ionized gas detector samples air, if air contains smoke - slightly less electrically conductive
32
class A fire
paper, wood, cloth, trash
33
class B fire
flammable liquids
34
class C fire
electrical equipment
35
class D fire
certain metals magnesium, titanium
36
Class A extinguisher
water type breaks heat ineffective, potentially dangerous in other classes
37
how do fire extinguishers work
one of the legs of the fire triangle must be broken
38
Foam extinguisher
class A and B removes oxygen leg
39
Carbon Dioxide extinguisher
B and C type takes away oxygen and heat
40
B and C type problems
ineffective for A easily blown away ineffective in ventilation
41
Dry chemical extinguisher
A, B. C type most common barrier between oxygen and fuel coats surface to prevent re-ignition
42
(B777) Loop overheat detection causes:
master caution lights on caution aural operates engine overheat caution message shows
43
(B777) engine fire detection causes:
master warning lights on fire warning aural operates engine fire warning message shows engine fire warning light on fuel control switch fire warning light on
44
What does the engine fire switch do
gives indication of engine fire stops engine isolates engine controls engine extinguishing system
45
electric ice detection
Probe mounted on front of AC vibrates at specific frequency Ice forming on probe changes frequency of vibration which causes light to illuminate in cockpit
46
Hawker ice detection
rotary cutter ice detection rotates if ice builds up, gets scraped off and sensed torque increases
47
windshield anti-ice
heated windshield windshield fluid
48
how are engines protected
heated with bleed air or electric coils
49
how is rain removed
windshield wipers chemical repellents combination pneumatic rain removal
50
difference between new and old EIS/EFIS
old - only display information for flight instruments new - flight instruments, aircraft systems, engine, warning/caution
51
what is EICAS / ECAM
engine alerts and aircraft monitoring systems
52
FAR for fire requirements 14CFR25?
Immediate awarning of fire or overheat Accurately indicate extinguished fire Durable and resistant to damage Include accurate method to test integrity of system Unlikely to have false indication Require minimum electrical power
53
Halon type fire extinguisher
air extinguisher removes oxygen
54
who is ECAM
airbus
55
who is EICAS
boeing embraer canadair
56
EICAS displays information all the time
no display on need to know basis
57
EICAS primary mode
main display during normal operation
58
EICAS secondary mode
on auxiliary EICAS display N2 speed, fuel flow, oil pressure, oil temp, oil quantity, engine vibration
59
EICAS compact mode
when display is inactive or used to show maintenance pages only display digital data format
60
Level A message
warning red aural, visual alert immediate action / attention
61
Level B message
caution amber visual, different aural crew awareness and future action
62
Level C message
advisory amber or light blue crew awareness and possible action
63
Level D message
memos white
64
PFD
replaced EADI most critical display
65
navigational display, ND
weather navigational info can change format
66
MFD
FO access checklist, info, nav maps
67
advantage of 3rd gen EIS
increased integration larger display weigh less less power needed
68
can the CVR (black box) be used for any other reason other than for accident/incident investigation
no
69
what is the cvr
cockpit voice recorder (part of the) black box audio monitor only
70
how long must the CVR record for
at least 120 minutes
71
where is the CVR located
empennage of plane maximizes likelihood of survival heat-resistant orange paint, high visibility
72
new CVR advantages
solid state memory and digital more resistant to shock, vibration, moisture have internal battery and can continue without electric power
73
how does an underwater locater beacon work
self contained unit actives frequency when submerged in water
74
when is CVR required
Any multi-engine turbine powered aircraft with 6 or more passenger seats must have a CVR if 2 pilots are required for operation
75
how long can the FDR record for
25 hours 1000 parameters
76
what can the FDR withstand
3400Gs impact 1100 C for 30 minutes fire 20,000ft submergence
77
when must an FDR be installed
multi-engine turbine powered aircraft with 10 or more passenger seats must have a flight data recorder
78
do the archer's have an FDR?
any Garmin 1000 airplane has an FDR capability
