35
Q

What does the DUMP button do?

38
Q

39
Q

If there is no arrow at the OFV indicator, what is the condition?

A

40
Q

On the ECS page what does a AMBER flow line represent?

A

an Overheat condition

41
Q

Explain what transpires between low pressure and high pressure engine bleed sources

A

The AMS controller automatically selects between low and high pressure air. That is the reason we must be careful when advancing the throttle during engine start. As a result the AMS controller might select low pressure air thus losing the pressure required for engine start.

42
Q

If there is a bleed leak, overpressure or fail condition, what does the controller do?

A

It shuts down the bleed air system by closing the engine bleed valve.

43
Q

If anti ice is selected while the APU is providing bleed air, what does the AMS controller do?

A

It shuts the APU bleed valve

44
Q

Where are the Overheat Detection Zones?

A

APU Bleed
Slat anti-ice supply ducts
Bleed system ducts and air conditioning ducts

45
Q

Can the APU be used for anti-ice?

A

NO

46
Q

Explain the Cabin Warm Up Mode

A

… ??? ….

47
Q

A

Recirculation Fans to OFF

48
Q

The Recirculation Fans are commanded OFF

A 
Both Pack Off
Cabin warm up mode with the APU on
Cargo bay fire signal
Dump button pressed
Smoke is detected in the Recirculation Bay
49
Q

The Forward Electronic bay has how many fans?

A

3 fans

50
Q

How many fans does the Center Electronic Bay have?

A

3 fans

51
Q

How may fans does the Aft Electronic Bay have?

A

No fans due to air flowing from the cabin

52
Q

If a fire is detected in the forward cargo bay…

A

The SOV is closed and the fan is turned off, thus preventing HALON from entering the cabin.

53
Q

Emergency Ram Air Ventilation is commanded open when?

A

If BOTH packs are failed or commanded OFF and the aircraft altitude is less than FL250

54
Q

During smoke removal, when is the Ram Air Ventilation Valve commanded OPEN??

A

When the the DUMP valve is pressed as both ECS packs are commanded OFF

55
Q

What are the RAIDs?

A

Ram Air Inlet Door

56
Q

What do the RAIDs do??
