CALLS PANEL
What happens when a pilot presses and holds the MECH pb on the CALLS panel?
It illuminates a blue light on the EXT PWR PANEL (in the nose L/G bay) and sounds an external horn
(AOM Vol 1 23.20.21)
CALLS PANEL
How should a pilot call the forward flight attendant?
Press the FWD button on the Calls Panel
CALLS PANEL
When would a pilot push the EMER pushbutton on the CALLS panel?
When there is an emergency and the Pilot would like to speak with the Flight Attendant A
OXYGEN Panel
What happens when a pilot pushes the CREW SUPPLY PUSHBUTTON?
Valve opens to supply low pressure oxygen to the masks
OXYGEN Panel
How does the passenger fixed oxygen system work and how long does it last?
Chemical oxygen generators last for approximately 15 minutes
OXYGEN Panel
What does the illumination of the SYS ON light mean? Does this mean that all the masks have deployed?
The signal has been sent to release the oxygen mask doors, but some masks may have to be deployed manually.
OXYGEN Panel
What causes automatic deployment of the masks?
Cabin altitude reaching approximately 14,000 feet
OXYGEN Panel
How is the crew oxygen mask microphone deactivated when the mask is stowed?
The RESET control slide with accomplish this - it does not happen automatically
OXYGEN Panel
What indication would a pilot have of a crew oxygen cylinder thermal discharge?
The green disk on the lower left side of the forward fuselage would be missing
OXYGEN Panel
Could the passenger oxygen mask provide oxygen for anything other than depressurization?
No
OXYGEN Panel
On the ground, if there is an amber half frame around the CKPT OXY PSI box, where would you look to see if you have enough oxygen for the flight?
COM Book 1 Performance - Limitations - Oxygen
INDICATING/RECORDING Systems
Why is the GND CTL pushbutton selected to ON during the preflight?
To record preflight activities in the cockpit
INDICATING/RECORDING Systems
If the GND CTL pushbutton was not selected ON, how would the system work in automatic mode?
On the ground:
- during the first 5 minutes after the aircraft electrical network is energized
- after the first engine start
- it is stopped automatically 5 minutes after the last engine shutdown provided the CVR jack is not used
In flight (whether the engines are running or not)
INDICATING/RECORDING Systems
What allows the cabin PAs to be recorded?
ACP 3 PA volume knob out and set at or above the medium range
GPWS Panel
What does pressing the SYS pushbutton do?
All basic GPWS alerts (mode 1 to 5) are inhibited
GPWS Panel
What does an amber FAULT light in the SYS pushbutton indicate on the GPWS panel?
Any failure of the GPWS mode 1 through 5
(AOM Vol 1 34.70.12)
GPWS Panel
What effect, if any, does an amber FAULT light in the SYS pushbutton have on the TERR mode
No effect at all
GPWS Panel
Describe a situation when a pilot might press LDG FLAP 3
What would LDG MEMO display?
To avoid nuisance warning in case of landing in CONF 3
- In this case, LDG MEMO displays FLAPS…CONF 3 instead of CONF FULL
GPWS Panel
Describe a situation when a pilot might press the FLAP MODE pushbutton
- To avoid a nuisance warning in case of landing with flaps setting reduced
- FLAP SYS 1 (2) FAULT would require the selector of FLAP MODE off
GPWS Panel
What effect, if any, does the failure of TERR mode have on basic GPWS?
No effect whatsoever
EMER ELEC PWR Panel
What is the significance of the red FAULT illuminating on the RAT & EMER GEN light?
AC BUS1 and AC BUS2 are lost and the emergency generator is not supplying electrical power
EMER ELEC PWR Panel
When would the red FAULT light on the RAT & EMER GEN light normally illuminate?
The fault light will illuminate once the RAT is deployed and electrical power is not being supplied (approx. 8 seconds)
EMER ELEC PWR Panel
How can the RAT be deployed?
- Manually by pushing MAN ON (EMER ELEC PWR panel) or RAT MAN ON (HYDRAULIC Panel)
- Automatically by the loss of both AC BUS 1 and AC BUS 2
EMER ELEC PWR Panel
What is the difference between the automatic RAT deployment and manual RAT deployment by pressing the RAT MAN ON on the HYD panel?
RAT MAN ON supplies Blue Hydraulic pressure only, no electrical generation
