(192 cards)
1
Q
Following an engine bleed overheat, will the engine bleed valve need to be closed manually or will this be an automatic
protection?
A
The engine bleed valve will automatically close
6-2-10 (20)
2
Q
How many temperature zones on the passenger and freighter types are there?
A
PAX = 4 zones. Flight deck plus 3 cabin zones F = 3 zones. Flight deck plus 2 cabin zones
3
Q
Will there be an increase or decrease in fuel flow when the recirculation fans are operative?
A
The recirculation fans circulate discharged air back into the mix manifold. This allows a reduction in cabin air ventilation, permitting
the packs to operate at a reduced flow. This will result in a decrease in fuel flow
6-2-20 (2)
4
Q
How do the pack controllers control temperature?
A
They regulate the pack output air temperature to satisfy the temperature requirement of the compartment requiring the coolest air.
Hot trim air is then added through the trim air valves to control temperature in each of the other compartments
6-2-20 (3)
5
Q
What temperature will the packs attempt to achieve with the trim air system off?
A
The packs attempt to maintain all compartments at an average temperature of 24c
6-2-20 (3)
6
Q

Air conditioning - Pressurization - Engine start - Wing and engine anti-ice - Center hydraulic system ADP - Hydraulic reservoir pressurization - Thrust reverser actuation 6-2-40 (1)
7
Q
Can wing anti-ice be operated on the ground?

valves automatically close at touchdown
6-3-20 (2)
8
Q

The 3 outboard leading edge slats on each wing
6-3-20 (1)
10
Q

11
Q
Where is fuel temperature measured?
A
In the left main tank
6-12-10 (3)
12
Q
When will the EICAS LOW FUEL caution activate?
A
When fuel quantity is below 2200lbs in either left or right main tank
6-12-30 (1)
13
Q
How many fuel pumps are fitted per tank, and what is their power source?
A
Each fuel tank contains 2 AC driven fuel pumps. The left main tank also contains a DC driven fuel pump for APU feed
6-12-20 (2) 6-12-20 (7)
14
Q
What are the two types of fuel scavenge systems?
A
Older aircraft vs. newer aircraft modifications
1) A scavenge system will operate automatically to transfer any unused centre fuel into the main tanks. This begins when the
main tanks are approx. half empty
2) Centre fuel pump power is automatically removed several seconds after CTR FUEL PUMP messages are displayed. It is
installed to ensure continued centre fuel pump operation is terminated
6-12-20 (2)
15
Q
Is engine operation still possible without the fuel pumps turned on?
A
Yes. When main tank fuel pressure is low, each engine can draw fuel from it’s corresponding tank through a suction feed line that
bypasses the pumps. However, at high altitude thrust deterioration or engine flameout may occur as a result of the fuel flow reduction
6-12-20 (3)
16
Q
When will the FUEL CONFIG light illuminate?
A
When the fuel quantity in left and right main tanks differs by 2000lbs (plus or minus 500lbs) or, when centre fuel pump switched
are off with more than 1200lbs in the centre tank. The FUEL CONFIG light also illuminates when the LOW FUEL caution message
appears because either main tank quantity is below 2200lbs
6-12-20 (4)
17
Q
What is the purpose of the Nitrogen Generation System (NGS)?
A
The NGS converts bleed air to nitrogen-enriched air during all phases of flight. The nitrogen-enriched air is delivered to the centre
fuel tank to reduce flammability in the tank
6-12-20 (4)
18
Q
When installed, at what part of the aircraft is fuel jettisoned from?
A
Via discharge nozzles inboard of each outboard aileron

6-7-10 (21)
24
Q
What is the purpose of selecting FLT on the engine start selectors following a loss of dual engine failure?
A
FADEC equipped aircraft have auto-relight which will operate BOTH ignitors when N2 drops below idle speed. Non-FADEC
equipped aircraft do not have this feature, so the engine start selectors must be switched to FLT to ensure BOTH ignitors are active.

6-9-20 (12)
106
What happens to the rudder if the EICAS advisory message RUDDER RATIO is displayed?
The left hydraulic system (which provides the rudder ratio) rudder actuator will depressurize which limits rudder displacement at
high airspeeds
6-9-20 (8)
107
Can the electric trim switches disengage the autopilot at all stages of flight?
If a single autopilot is engaged, electric trimming causes the autopilot to disengage. If multiple autopilots are engaged, the electric
trim switches are inhibited. Alternate trimming does not cause autopilot disengagement
6-9-20 (5)
108
How does the Pitch Enhancement System work?
The PES consists of a hydraulic motor in the right hydraulic system driving a pump, which uses trapped left trim system fluid to
operate the stabiliser. It will automatically activate if both the left and centre hydraulic systems are lost in flight. Only electric trim is
available at approximately ¼ the normal rate
6-9-20 (6)
109
What are the operational considerations if the EICAS advisory message RUDDER RATIO is displayed?
The rudder ratio system has failed. Despite the left system hydraulic rudder actuator being depressurised, abrupt pedal movement
should be avoided at high airspeeds. The crosswind limit for landing becomes 15kts, and no autoland is permitted
6-9-20 (8) QRH 2-2-9 (9)
110

When is the EGT indication inhibited from changing to amber?
The EGT has a maximum continuous limit at 925c. If the EGT reaches the maximum continuous limit, the digital indication, box, pointer and dial all change colour to amber.
