The DUMP function is activated pushing in the DUMP button on the pressurization panel. SYSTEM OPERATION The CPCS system automatically:
- A.
Sets the ECS packs and recirculation fans to OFF;
- B.
Controls the OUT FLOW VALVE to maintain the cabin altitude rate of climb at 2000 ft/min up to 12400 ft.
- C.
When the cabin altitude reaches 12400 ft it commands the OUT FLOW VALVE full closed. From this point the cabin altitude rises by natural leak.
- D.
Automatically closes OUT FLOW VALVE
Correct Answer(s)
A. Sets the ECS packs and recirculation fans to OFF;
B. Controls the OUT FLOW VALVE to maintain the cabin altitude rate of climb at 2000 ft/min up to 12400 ft.
C. When the cabin altitude reaches 12400 ft it commands the OUT FLOW VALVE full closed. From this point the cabin altitude rises by natural leak.Explanation
The correct answer explains the system operation of the CPCS (Cabin Pressure Control System). It states that when the DUMP function is activated, the ECS (Environmental Control System) packs and recirculation fans are turned off. Additionally, the OUT FLOW VALVE is controlled to maintain a cabin altitude rate of climb at 2000 ft/min up to 12400 ft. Once the cabin altitude reaches 12400 ft, the OUT FLOW VALVE is commanded to be fully closed, and the cabin altitude then rises naturally due to leaks.Rate this question:

If the cabin altitude is above 12400 ft when the dump is activated, the cabin altitude may be rising due to a normal leak. To achieve a higher rate of climb ...
- A.
The manual mode can be used.
- B.
The manual mode must not be used.
Correct Answer
A. The manual mode can be used.Explanation
If the cabin altitude is above 12400 ft when the dump is activated, it suggests that there may be a normal leak causing the cabin altitude to rise. In this situation, using the manual mode can help achieve a higher rate of climb, possibly to mitigate the effects of the leak and maintain a safe cabin altitude.Rate this question:

Pushing out the DUMP button commands the system back to normal operation opening the _____ packs and turning on the recirculation fan.
- A.
ECS
- B.
AMS
Correct Answer
A. ECSExplanation
Pushing out the DUMP button commands the system back to normal operation, which means it activates the Environmental Control System (ECS) by opening the air packs and turning on the recirculation fan. The ECS is responsible for regulating and maintaining the cabin environment, including temperature, humidity, and air circulation. Therefore, the correct answer is ECS.Rate this question:

The manual mode is activated rotating the pressurization mode selector knob to the MAN position. When manual mode is selected, both channels of the CPCS controller revert to standby state, but only one channel performs the manual operation. The channel selection is ____________ .
- A.
Manual
- B.
Automatic
Correct Answer
B. AutomaticExplanation
When the manual mode is activated by rotating the pressurization mode selector knob to the MAN position, both channels of the CPCS controller go into standby state. However, only one channel performs the manual operation. Therefore, the channel selection in this case is automatic, as the system automatically selects one channel to perform the manual operation.Rate this question:
