Back 1

Normally operated automatically.

Front 2

Is there a backup mode available if automatic temperature controls fail?

Back 2

Yes.

Front 3

How many temperature control zones are in the aircraft?

Back 3

Seven. Flight deck, upper deck, and five main cabin zones.

Front 4

TRUE or FALSE. With the Trim Air switch ON, the zone requiring the coolest temperature determines the temperature provided by the packs.

Back 4

True. High temperature trim air is added downstream of the packs to heat the remaining zones.

Front 5

What is the purpose of the recirculation fans?

Back 5

To augment cabin air ventilation, allowing packs to be operated at a reduced flow during the period of low conditioned air demand while at Cruise altitude.

Front 6

What is the advantage of the recirculation fans?

Back 6

By allowing the packs to operate at reduced flow, engine bleed air requirements are reduced, which decreases fuel consumption and saves money.

Front 7

When a ground conditioned air source is available (dual connections, two large hoses), can it be used to directly supply the conditioned air ducts in the cabin?

Back 7

Yes, it can be used to supply conditioned air directly to the air conditioning distribution system, eliminating the need for pack operation.

Front 8

When a ground conditioned air source is used, should the packs be ON or OFF?

Back 8

OFF, pack operation is NOT required during ground conditioned air operation.

Front 9

Pack operation is controlled by how many pack controllers?

Back 9

Two. Controller A or B. Each has three control channels, one channel for each pack.

Front 10

What occurs if one of the three pack control channels in a pack controller fails?

Back 10

Control of the respective pack is switched automatically to the secondary controller. The other packs remain under the original controller.

Front 11

What is the function of the NORM position on the Pack Control selector?

Back 11

The pack valve is electrically armed in the NORM position, and the system automatically selects pack controller A or B on alternate flights. The selected controller is the primary controller. The system automatically selects the secondary controller in the event of a primary controller failure.

Front 12

What does selecting the pack controller A position provide?

Back 12

Selects pack controller A as the primary controller. (The system will automatically select B for pack control if A fails, even with controller A selected).

Front 13

What does selecting the pack controller B position provide?

Back 13

Selects pack controller B as the primary controller. (The system will automatically select A for pack control if B fails, even with controller B selected).

Front 14

When do the air conditioning packs operate?

Back 14

When the Pack Control selector is placed to NORM, A, or B, the respective pack valve will open when sufficient bleed air pressure is available.

Front 15

How is the air conditioning pack valve controlled and operated?

Back 15

When the Pack Control selector is placed to NORM, A, or B, the pack valve is controlled electrically by the pack controller, but operated pneumatically, requiring bleed air pressure to open.

Front 16

What will generate a PACK 1, 2, 3 EICAS Advisory message and System Fault light?

Back 16

- pack overheat.-- pack operation fault.

Front 17

What will generate a PACK 1, 2, 3 EICAS Advisory message only?

Back 17

- A fault in the pack controller.-- Shutoff of all engine bleed air.-- Either/both cabin pressure relief valve(s) are activated and pack 2 shuts down (PACK2 message only).-- Pushing FWD/AFT Cargo Fire Extinguishing Armed switch turns off pack 3(PACK 3 message only).

Front 18

If a pack shut-down occurs because of a pack overheat or controller fault and the overheat or controller fault no longer exists, will the pack automatically come back on line?

Back 18

No, the pack must be reset by pushing the Pack Reset switch on the overhead panel.

Front 19

What are the general locations of the recirculation fans?

Back 19

There are two upper fans located above the main passenger compartment ceiling and two lower fans located below the main passenger cabin floor, all four at mid cabin.

Front 20

How is air circulated by the recirculation fans?

Back 20

The fans draw cabin air through filters and reintroduce the air into the conditioned air distribution system.

Front 21

What occurs if a fan overheat is detected?

Back 21

Electrical power is automatically removed from that fan.

Front 22

For what conditions will system logic automatically reconfigure pack flow and recirculation fan operation to maintain proper ventilation?

Back 22

- a fan is NOT operating because of overheat.- a fan has failed.- a Recirculation Fan switch is OFF.

Front 23

How many flow settings are provided by each air conditioning pack valve?

Back 23

Two settings, normal and high.

Front 24

What does the normal flow setting of the air conditioning pack valve do for the system?

Back 24

The normal setting minimizes bleed air demands on the engines while in cruise, increasing aircraft fuel efficiency.

Front 25

What does the air conditioning pack high flow setting provide?

Back 25

An increase in the rate of cabin air exchange by supplying more pack generated air to meet maximum conditioned air requirements.

Front 26

During normal operation when are the air conditioning packs in high flow and what is the associated recirculation fan configuration?

Back 26

All three packs are normally in high flow, with both of the upper recirculation fans operating, during all phases of flight (ground, climb, descent) except cruise.

Front 27

During normal operation, when are the air conditioning packs in normal flow and what is the associated recirculation fan configuration?

Back 27

During cruise, the packs automatically operate at normal flow to reduce bleed air demands, and all four recirculation fans operate to maintain proper ventilation.

Front 28

During abnormal conditions, when will the air conditioning packs shift to high flow?

Back 28

Pack outputs are increased automatically to high flow and/or recirculation fans activated automatically as required to compensate for other packs or fans which are deactivated or inoperative.

Front 29

Is the High Flow switch positioned ON or OFF for normal operation?

Back 29

OFF, allowing system logic control of the packs.

Front 37

How are the target and actual zone temperatures displayed on the ECS synoptic?

Back 37

There are two numbers inside each zone. The target is magenta and the actual is white.

Front 38

How is the target temperature for each passenger zone calculated?

Back 38

Target temperature for each passenger zone is a summation of the master temperature set by the flight crew, plus zone temperature inputs from the flight attendants, plus comfort corrections made automatically by the Zone Temperature Controller during flight.

Front 39

How much can the flight deck-set master passenger temperature be varied at the cabin temperature control panel available to the flight attendants at door 2R?

Front 43

In the case of a zone duct overheat, the master trim air valve closes automatically and the temperature controller will switch automatically into the backup mode. Will the system automatically reset itself?

Back 43

No, zone temperature control may be reset to the normal automatic mode by pushing the ZONE RST switch, provided the zone duct overheat condition no longer exists and the Trim Air switch is ON.

Front 44

Do the Captain and First Officer & apos;s foot and shoulder heaters operate on the ground?

Back 44

No.

Front 45

How is cabin altitude controlled?

Back 45

By regulating the discharge of conditioned air through two outflow valves at the rear of the cabin.

Front 46

Where is pressurization information displayed?

Back 46

The ECS data block includes: cabin altitude, rate of change, landing altitude, control mode, and differential pressure. The ECS data block is displayed at the bottom of primary EICAS when the ECS synoptic or ENG display is selected on secondary EICAS or when an ECS non-normal condition occurs. Outflow valve position/control mode is displayed on the ECS synoptic and on the Overhead panel.

Front 47

TRUE or FALSE. During takeoff, the outflow valves should automatically close when the thrust levers are advanced to takeoff thrust and cabin altitude should descend slightly below field elevation.

Back 47

True. When the thrust levers reach takeoff range and the aircraft accelerates past 65 knots, the outflow valves enter the takeoff mode, and cabin altitude is set to slightly below the takeoff field elevation.

Front 48

How is the pressurization system normally operated?

Back 48

Automatically, by cabin altitude controller A or B.

Front 49

In the AUTO mode what is the cabin rate of climb or descent based on?

Back 56

True. The system automatically switches to the alternate auto controller.

Front 57

TRUE or FALSE. The CAB ALT AUTO EICAS Caution message displays if either one of the automatic pressurization systems fail.

Back 57

False. Only when both auto controllers fail, or when MAN mode is selected on both outflow valves.

Front 58

How is landing field elevation entered into the cabin altitude controller?

Back 58

Automatically by the FMCs, or manually using the LDG ALT selector on the overhead pressurization panel.

Front 59

Does manual input of landing field elevation override FMC inputs?

Back 59

Yes.

Front 60

What is the relationship between cabin altitude set for landing by the cabin altitude controller and actual field elevation?

Back 60

Cabin altitude for landing is set slightly below actual field elevation so the cabin is pressurized slightly for landing.

Front 61

What is the range of altitude selection for landing cabin altitude?

Back 61

1,000 feet below sea level to 14,000 feet above sea level.

Front 62

When does the aircraft normally depressurize?

Back 62

Landing cabin altitude is set slightly below destination field elevation so that the cabin is pressurized slightly on landing. At touchdown the outflow valves automatically open, depressurizing the cabin.

Front 63

If one Outflow Valve Manual switch is ON while the remaining valve is controlled automatically, will both outflow valves operate?

Back 63

Yes. The manually selected outflow valve must be controlled manually. The other outflow valve will continue to operate automatically.

Front 64

What does an OUTFLOW VLV L or R EICAS Advisory message mean?

Back 64

Automatic control of the outflow valve is inoperative or the Outflow Valve Manual switch is ON.

Front 65

How is outflow valve position monitored?

Back 65

Outflow Valve Position indicators are located on the Overhead panel and are also displayed on the ECS synoptic.

Front 66

If both Outflow Valve Manual switches are pushed ON, can the cabin altitude controllers monitor outflow valve position?

Back 66

No. If both Outflow Valve Manual switches are pushed ON, the cabin altitude controllers are bypassed completely.

Front 67

When is the EICAS Warning message CABIN ALTITUDE displayed and the warning siren sounded?

Back 67

If cabin altitude exceeds 10,000 feet.

Front 68

How can the cabin altitude warning siren be silenced?

Back 68

By pushing the Master Warning/Caution Reset switch or by cabin altitude descending below 9,500 feet.

Front 69

When will the system automatically close the outflow valves regardless of what the cabin altitude controllers are commanding?

Back 69

When the cabin altitude reaches 11,000 feet with the system in the automatic mode, the cabin altitude controllers are bypassed and the outflow valves are closed automatically.

Front 70

When does the CABIN ALTITUDE EICAS Warning message and siren rearm?

Back 70

When the cabin altitude descends below 9,500 feet.

Front 71

How is excessive positive cabin pressure avoided?

Back 71

Two mechanical positive pressure relief valves are installed on the side of the aircraft forward of the left wing to prevent overpressurization of the airplane.

Front 72

What automatic protective feature acts to help relieve excessive pressure?

Back 72

If an overpressurization is sensed, the pressure relief valves open and pack 2 shuts down automatically to assist in relieving excess cabin pressure. A PACK 2 EICAS Advisory message annunciates without a SYS FAULT light.

Front 73

In the event of excessive cabin pressure, do both cabin pressure relief valves have to open to shutdown pack 2?

Back 73

No, opening either pressure relief valve will shutdown pack 2 in an overpressure situation.

Front 74

In the event of a shutdown of pack 2 due to overpressurization, how is the pack reset?

Back 74

If normal cabin pressure is restored both cabin pressure relief valves are closed and pack 2 is automatically reset.

Front 75

How is a negative pressure condition prevented on the aircraft?

Back 75

Negative pressure relief valves installed in the forward and aft cargo doors, and both upper deck doors, open when outside pressure is greater than inside pressure.

Front 76

On aircraft 6301- 6310 what is the function of the "pull-on" Landing Altitude selector on the Overhead panel?

Back 76

The pull-on knob overrides any landing altitude inputs to the cabin altitude controllers from the FMC. When pulled ON, landing altitude must be set manually and is displayed on EICAS followed by an amber MAN. Aircraft 6311 and beyond have a separate pushbutton switch for selecting MAN mode.

Front 77

Upon landing after an overpressurization event the __________ must be closed and reset by _____________.

Back 77

overpressurization valve covers (blow out fairing doors); maintenance.

Front 78

What does pushing the Landing Altitude selector to OFF provide?

Back 78

Landing altitude is automatically input to the cabin altitude controllers from the FMC. Landing altitude information is displayed in the ECS block on Primary EICAS followed by a white AUTO.

Front 79

Where is the warmed equipment cooling air exhausted after passing through the equipment racks?

Back 79

Warm exhaust air is ducted automatically either overboard (on ground, temperature above 45 degrees F, or fewer than one engine running on each wing), or, into the forward cargo compartment (on ground, temperature below 45 degrees F, or at least one engine on each wing running, or inflight) .

Front 80

How is the warm exhaust air routed with the Equipment Cooling selector positioned in STBY?

Back 80

Commands the system to flight mode. The inboard exhaust valve is opened and the ground exhaust valve is closed, providing forward cargo heat regardless of ambient temperature.

Front 81

How does the OVRD mode provide equipment cooling in flight?

Back 81

With the Equipment Cooling selector in OVRD, the internal fans are deactivated and the smoke/override valve opens, with all other valves closed. The smoke/override valve opens to an overboard vent, allowing cabin differential pressure to create a reverse flow of air across the equipment, through the supply duct, then overboard.

Front 82

How is the forward cargo compartment heated?

Back 82

The forward cargo compartment is heated by warm equipment cooling system exhaust air. It is further augmented by two electric heaters which automatically operate only when warming air flows into the compartment.

Front 83

Is there forward cargo heat if the equipment cooling inboard exhaust valve is closed?

Back 83

No.

Front 84

How are aft cargo heat and forward cargo heat connected?

Back 84

They are not. Aft cargo heat is independent of the forward cargo heat system.

Front 85

How is the aft cargo compartment heated?

Back 85

With the Aft Cargo Heat switch ON, center bleed duct air flows into the aft cargo compartment through a temperature control valve and an overheat shutoff valve, which automatically regulate airflow to maintain compartment temperature within a preset range.

Front 86

Where are live animals carried?

Back 86

Only in the aft cargo bay, warming air may NOT be available to the forward cargo bay.

Front 87

Where are the cargo bay temperatures displayed?

Back 87

On the ECS synoptic below the main cabin temperatures.

Front 88

How do the temperature control valve and overheat shutoff valve maintain proper temperature in the aft cargo compartment?

Back 88

With the Aft Cargo Heat switch ON, the temperature control valve and the overheat shut-off valve are opened. Compartment temperature is regulated by a thermal switch, which opens and closes the temperature control valve. When the compartment is cool, the thermal switch sends a signal to open the temperature control valve, allowing warm center bleed duct air to flow into the compartment. When the compartment warms to the upper limit, the thermal switch signals the temp control valve closed to stop the flow of bleed air. As a backup, if the temperature control valve fails open and the aft cargo compartment temperature reaches the overheat range, the overheat shutoff valve closes automatically.

Front 89

What condition will illuminate the TEMP light in the Aft Cargo Heat switch and display the EICAS Advisory message TEMP CARGO HEAT?

Back 89

If the temperature control valve fails open, the temperature will rise to a preset overheat temperature threshold. As temperature continues to rise, the TEMP light will illuminate. When the temperature reaches a higher second threshold, the Overheat Shutoff valve will be automatically commanded to close. The TEMP light and EICAS Advisory message TEMP CARGO HEAT will be displayed and will cycle on and off as the temperature cycles between the second overheat temperature threshold and the original temperature control valve threshold.

Front 90

What does selecting the Aft Cargo Heat switch to the OFF position accomplish?

Back 90

Selecting the Aft Cargo Heat switch to OFF commands both the temperature control valve and the overheat shutoff valve to close.

Front 91

Just after pushback with two engines running, the flight attendants indicate that the cabin is too warm. What can the flight crew do to help out?

Back 91

Verify that the PASS TEMP selector switch is in the 12 o' clock position so the Flight Attendants have their full temperature control range (65 to 85 degrees F).

Front 92

With the cabin pressurization system in the AUTO mode, the outflow valves automatically close when the cabin altitude exceeds _____________.

Back 92

11,000 feet.

Front 93

How does the air conditioning system satisfy the varying temperature requirements of the individual zones, when the system is operating normally?

Back 93

Master Temperature and flight deck temperature are set on the flight deck. Individual zone temperatures are set at door 2R by flight attendants after two engines are running. The pack controller regulates the pack output temperature to satisfy the zone requiring the coolest temperature. All three packs output the same temperature. The zone temperature controller then modulates individual zone trim air valves to mix hot bleed air with conditioned air to achieve the respective target temperatures.

Front 94

With the center pneumatic duct providing adequate air, automatic temperature control by the Zone Temperature Controller is available if the Trim Air switch is __________.

Back 94

ON.

Front 95

How should the RECIRC fan switches be set during preflight?

Back 95

ON, allows automatic operation to maintain proper cabin ventilation.

Front 96

What control is used to adjust the temperature of the flight deck?

Back 96

The FLT DECK Temperature selector.

Front 97

While parked at the gate with no engines running, the flight attendants indicate that the cabin is too warm. What can the flight crew do to help out?

Back 97

Turn the PASS TEMP selector switch to full cold (C). Note: the flight attendant temperature control panel located at door 2R does NOT operate with less than two engines running.

Front 98

How is an outflow valve manually opened or closed?

Back 98

Select Left or Right Outflow Valve Manual switch ON, hold the Outflow Valve Control toggle switch OPEN or CLOSED.

Front 99

How can pilots set the temperature in the Aft Cargo compartment?
