  • 1. 

    APU bleed air when selected :

    • A.

      Has priority over engine bleed air .

    • B.

      Will supply bleed air only if the ENGINE BLEED pb´s are selected OFF.

    • C.

      Will supply bleed air only if the X BLEED selector is selected OPEN

    Correct Answer
    A. Has priority over engine bleed air .
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that APU bleed air has priority over engine bleed air. This means that when both sources are available, the aircraft will use bleed air from the APU instead of the engines. However, if the ENGINE BLEED pb's are selected OFF, the APU bleed air will be the only source of bleed air supply. Similarly, if the X BLEED selector is selected OPEN, the APU bleed air will also be the only source of bleed air supply.

    With yhe APU running , the APU  BLEED pb selected ON and the X BLEED selector AUTO , the APU will :

    • A.

      Only supply bleed air to the left .

    • B.

      Supply pneumatic air to both sides of the aircraft because the pneumatic crossbleed valva automatically opens .

    • C.

      Will supply bleed air only to  the left side unless the X BLEED selector is selected OPEN.

    Correct Answer
    B. Supply pneumatic air to both sides of the aircraft because the pneumatic crossbleed valva automatically opens .
    Explanation
    When the APU is running and the APU BLEED pb is selected ON, and the X BLEED selector is set to AUTO, the APU will supply pneumatic air to both sides of the aircraft because the pneumatic crossbleed valve automatically opens. This means that bleed air will be available for use on both sides of the aircraft, ensuring that all systems are supplied with the necessary air pressure.

    The crew may directly control the following bleed valves :

    • A.

      Engine intermediate pressure , APU

    • B.

      Crossbleed

    • C.

      Engine ,APU crossbleed .

    Correct Answer
    C. Engine ,APU crossbleed .
    Explanation
    The crew has direct control over the bleed valves for the engine and APU crossbleed. This means they can open or close these valves as needed. The other mentioned bleed valves (engine intermediate pressure and crossbleed) may not be directly controlled by the crew, or they may not exist. Therefore, the correct answer is engine and APU crossbleed.

    • A.

      Detection loops associated with BMC Nr 1

    • B.

      Detection  loops associated with BMC Nr 2

    • C.

      The APU BMC

    Correct Answer
    A. Detection loops associated with BMC Nr 1
  • 5. 

    If a BMC detected a bleed leak :

    • A.

      All valves that could supply pneumatic air to the area of the bleed leak will automatically close .

    • B.

      The crew must isolate the affected leak.

    • C.

      All pneumatic valves close automatically.

    Correct Answer
    A. All valves that could supply pneumatic air to the area of the bleed leak will automatically close .
    Explanation
    When a bleed leak is detected by a BMC (Bleed Monitoring Computer), all valves that have the capability to provide pneumatic air to the location of the leak will close automatically. This is done to prevent any further loss of air and to isolate the affected area. Additionally, the crew is required to isolate the specific leak to ensure proper containment and maintenance.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    If a BMC fails :

    • A.

      The remaining BMC  will automatically assume most of the falled BMC ´s functions.

    • B.

      All systems associated with the falled BMC also fail.

    • C.

      The associated bleed valves close 

    Correct Answer
    A. The remaining BMC  will automatically assume most of the falled BMC ´s functions.
    Explanation
    If a BMC fails, the remaining BMC will automatically assume most of the fallen BMC's functions. This means that the functioning BMC will take over the tasks and responsibilities of the failed BMC in order to ensure the continued operation of the system. Additionally, it is stated that all systems associated with the failed BMC also fail, which further emphasizes the importance of the remaining BMC taking over its functions. The closure of the associated bleed valves is mentioned as a consequence of the BMC failure, indicating that the failure has an impact on the overall system.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    With the loss of pneumatic system pressure , the engine bleed valve will :

    • A.

      Remain in it´s current position.

    • B.

      Assume the closed position.

    • C.

      Assume the open position.

    Correct Answer
    B. Assume the closed position.
    Explanation
    When the pneumatic system pressure is lost, the engine bleed valve will assume the closed position. This is because the engine bleed valve is designed to open and allow bleed air from the engine to be used for various purposes, such as pressurizing the cabin or powering air conditioning systems. However, when the pneumatic system pressure is lost, there is no longer a source of bleed air, so the valve automatically closes to prevent any air leakage or loss.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    When additional pneumatic air is required for anti ice , engine starting , or air conditioning :

    • A.

      The crew must observe minimun N1 limits

    • B.

      Additional pneumatic air will be requested air will be requested by the BMC to the FADECs or the APU 

    • C.

      A  and B are corret

    Correct Answer
    B. Additional pneumatic air will be requested air will be requested by the BMC to the FADECs or the APU 
    Explanation
    When additional pneumatic air is required for anti-ice, engine starting, or air conditioning, the crew must observe minimum N1 limits. This means that they need to ensure that the engine's rotational speed, known as N1, does not fall below a certain threshold. Additionally, the BMC (Bleed Monitoring Computer) will request additional pneumatic air from the FADECs (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) or the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit). This ensures that the necessary amount of air is provided for the required functions. Therefore, both options A and B are correct.
