Q

What happens when the DUMP button is pressed?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Sets ECS packs and recirculation fans to OFF.
  • Outflow valve opens to climb cabin to 12,400 at a rate of 2,000 feet per minute.
  • When cabin reaches 12,400, outflow valve is commanded closed.
23
Q

With respect to the DUMP button, which functions are available in manual mode?

Study These Flashcards
A

-Packs and recirc fans will turn off.

24
Q

How can the outflow valve be modulated?

Study These Flashcards
A

Manually or automatically.

25
Why does the DUMP button have a red-raised border around it?
So you can find it in low visibility conditions within the cockpit.
26
The MAN mode position allows manual control of:
Outflow valve
27
How can you determine the position of the outflow valve?
There is a pointer on the outflow valve position indicator on the environmental control system synoptic page on the MFD.
28
In Manual mode, will the cabin depressurize on landing?
No.
29
What are the DOWN/UP positions used for on the CABIN ALT selector knob?
Manually closes/opens the outflow valve to decrease/increase cabin altitude.
30
What is the LFE CTRL selector position on the pressurization MODE selector knob used for?
If not available from the FMS database, allows manual input of landing field elevation.
31
Is the pressurization system still in the AUTO mode when LFE is entered manually?
Yes
32
Where does the CPC get LFE?
FMS or manually selected.
33
How would you manually control the LFE?
Momentarily move the LFE selection knob UP or DOWN to change LFE in 100 foot increments
34
How is a manual input for LFE displayed on EICAS?
A cyan "M" in front of the altitude readout.
35
What does the ATTND position do on the PAX cabin knob?
Switches the cabin temperature control to the flight attendant control panels.
36
What is the memory item for Cabin Altitude HI?
OXYGEN MASKS......VERIFY…….. ON 100% | CREW COMM---------------------ESTABLISH
37
Where do the packs distribute air?
Pack 1: Flight deck/cabin | Pack 2: Cabin
38
Where is air used to cool the forward electronics bay taken from?
The flight deck
39
How many fans are in the aft electronics bay?
0
40
The gasper system provides air to:
Each pilot and passenger position
41
How does the flight attendant know if the temperature setting knob allows them to adjust the temperature?
An ENABLED LED on the flight attendant control panel turns on when the pilot selects the ATTND position in the cockpit
42
What keeps the three avionic E-Bays cool?
FWD and center: 3 fans each pull air from cabin to bay | AFT: Natural air flow from the cabin
43
Engine and APU bleed air are the only sources for the pneumatic system on the ground (T/F).
False
44
The engine bleeds, air conditioning ducts, APU bleed air distribution, and anti-ice supply have two overheat and leak detection loops. With both loops operational, both loops must detect a leak before an EICAS message is displayed (T/F).
True
45
Where is bleed air tapped from the engine?
6th and 10th stage compressors
46
Air from the pneumatic system provides:
ECS Wing and engine anti-ice Engine start Water pressurization
47
Cruise altitude automatically updates in the MCDU on PERF INIT page 3 if cruise altitude is changed in flight (T/F).
False
48
Where does the Cabin Pressure Control System (CPCS) get Landing Field Elevation?
FMS or manual control on the pressurization panel
49
Will the DUMP button work when the pressurization switch is in manual mode?
No. However, the recirculation fans and packs will turn off
50
The MAN mode on the PRESSURIZATION MODE SELECTOR allows manual control of what?
Outflow valve
51
What color is LFE on the EICAS?
FMS- green | Manual- Cyan with a 'M' in front of the LFE
52
Where does the CPCS get cruise flight level and landing elevation?
FMS before takeoff OR CPCS calculates it using ambient pressure OR LFE may be manually input
53
At what cabin altitude does the CABIN ALTITUDE HI EICAS show?
9700
