    With both engine bleed switches ON, pack switches selected to AUTO, and the isolation valve switch in AUTO, what position will the isolation valve be in?

    • Closed

    • On

    Correct Answer
    A. Closed
    Explanation
    When both engine bleed switches are ON, the isolation valve is controlled by the pack switches and the isolation valve switch. In this scenario, with the pack switches selected to AUTO and the isolation valve switch in AUTO, the isolation valve will be in the Closed position. This means that the isolation valve is closed and isolating the bleed air from the engines from the rest of the system.

    What will be the position of the trip air modulating valve after the associated ZONE TEMP light is illuminated?

    • Closed

    • Open

    Correct Answer
    A. Closed
    Explanation
    After the associated ZONE TEMP light is illuminated, the trip air modulating valve will be in the closed position. This is because the ZONE TEMP light indicates that the temperature in the zone is at the desired level, and therefore, there is no need for the valve to be open and allow more air flow. Closing the valve helps maintain the temperature and prevents unnecessary air flow.

  • 9. 

    Which valve controls the associated pneumatic system pressure?

    • The engine bleed valve

    • APU bleed valve

    • Mix Manifold

    • X-bleed valve

    Correct Answer
    A. The engine bleed valve
    Explanation
    The engine bleed valve controls the associated pneumatic system pressure. When the valve is open, bleed air from the engine is released, reducing the pressure in the pneumatic system. When the valve is closed, the pressure is maintained. This valve is crucial in regulating the pressure in the pneumatic system to ensure proper functioning of various components and systems that rely on compressed air, such as air conditioning, pressurization, and hydraulic systems.

    Conditioned air from the Left Pack is supplied to?

    • The Mix Manifold

    • The mix Manifold and the Cabin

    • The Mix Manifold and the Flight Deck

    • The Cabin

    Correct Answer
    A. The Mix Manifold and the Flight Deck
    Explanation
    The conditioned air from the Left Pack is supplied to both the Mix Manifold and the Flight Deck. The Mix Manifold is responsible for distributing the conditioned air to various systems and components within the aircraft, while the Flight Deck refers to the cockpit area where the pilots operate the aircraft. Therefore, the conditioned air from the Left Pack is directed to both the Mix Manifold and the Flight Deck to ensure proper ventilation and temperature control in these areas.

    A leak of hot air from the APU bleed duct will cause the illumination of which light?

    • Left WING BODY OVERHEAT

    • Right WING BODY OVERHEAT

    • OVERHEAT light

    • FAULT light

    Correct Answer
    A. Left WING BODY OVERHEAT
    Explanation
    A leak of hot air from the APU bleed duct can cause the left wing body to overheat. This is because the hot air escaping from the duct can come into contact with the left wing body, leading to an increase in temperature. As a result, the left WING BODY OVERHEAT light will illuminate to indicate the overheating condition.

    With the pressurization mode selector in AUTO, what indicates a failure of the selected controller?

    • FAULT light illuminates.

    • MASTER CAUTION and FAULT lights illuminate.

    • MASTER CAUTION and ALTN lights illuminate.

    • The AUTO FAIL and ALTN lights illuminate.

    Correct Answer
    A. The AUTO FAIL and ALTN lights illuminate.
    Explanation
    When the pressurization mode selector is set to AUTO, the AUTO FAIL and ALTN lights illuminating indicates a failure of the selected controller. This means that there is a malfunction in the automatic pressurization system, and the alternate (ALTN) mode has been activated as a result. The combination of these two lights serves as an indication to the pilot that there is a problem with the pressurization system and that the alternate mode is being used.
