What test begins when AC power is applied to the aircraft? How do you know it is running? How long? What does it check? What interrupts the test? Electrical PBIT "FLT CTRL TEST IN PROG" EICAS message 3 minutes Out-of-tolerance conditions and failures associated with the FCMs, P-ACEs, and SF-ACEs 1) Any hydraulic pump is running 2) FCM panel switches are cycled 3) AC power supply is interrupted What test begins when all three hydraulic systems are pressurized in the order 3A, 1, 2? How do you it is running? How long does it take to complete? What does it check? What interrupts this test? Hydraulic PBIT "FLT CTRL TEST IN PROG" EICAS message 1 minute Functional test of the flight control actuators (PDUs for SF, PCUs for all other surfaces) Flight control surface is moved What are the minimum voltage for Batt 1 and Batt 2 during the safety and power-up checklist? Batt 1: 22.5 Batt 2: 22.5 If battery voltage is between 22.5-21, batteries can be recharged before takeoff. If battery voltage is below 21, DO NOT DEPART What is the AC Power Priority? 1) Onside generator 2) Inside (APU) 3) Outside (GPU, on ground without APU) 4) Cross-side generator What are the two main components on the DC HOT BAT BUS 1 and 2, that we, as pilots, care about? PANEL REFUEL, ENGINE 1A FIRE EXTINGUISH, ENGINE FIRE 1B FIRE EXTENGUISH What type of circuit breakers does the E175 have? How do I access them? Electronic and thermal circuit breakers. Some of the thermal circuit breakers are located physically on the flight deck, and the other half can only be checked via the MCDU All of the electronic circuit breakers must be checked via the MCDU (remote) Briefly explain the purpose of the RAT The RAT, Ram Air Turbine, can provide backup AC power in the event of total AC loss by turning the kinetic energy of airflow into AC power Which bus/buses does the RAT power? AC ESS BUS, DC ESS BUSES powered through the ESS TRU. How long does it take before the RAT provides full power to the AC ESS bus? 8 seconds When will the RAT automatically deploy? Whenever the AC power sources are not powering the AC buses in flight What EICAS message would indicate the RAT has not deployed during an electrical emergency? BATT DISCHARGING What is the minimum speed to get the RAT spinning initially? 150 KIAS What is the minimum speed to keep the RAT powered? 130 KIAS Is there an altitude restriction for operation of the RAT? No What items are on the AC STBY BUS? AC ESS BUS? STBY AC BUS: ENGINE 1 EXCITER 1A ENGINE 2 EXCITER 2A AC ESS BUS: AC FUEL PUMP 2A ACMP 3A (supplies the elevator, rudder, and ailerons with hydraulic power) Slat Channel 2 Flap Channel 1 What purpose does an inverter serve? Converts DC to AC power. The AC STBY BUS is powered when the RAT is deployed through the static inverter. Our DC batteries can power this since the DC ESS BUSES are being energizing through the ESS TRU, powered by the RAT, which stops them from discharging. What purposes do a TRU serve? Convert AC to DC power. Three TRUs convert 115V AC into 28V DC. How long can batteries supply essential loads? 10 minutes What kind and how many batteries does the E175 have? 2 Sealed Lead-Acid batteries, 24V, 28 Amp hour to power up the airplane and as a backup for the DC essential electrical system How are the batteries charged? ANY AC source through the TRUs, including the AC GPU and the RAT What is the difference between OFF and DISC on either IDG selector? OFF: Opens the IDG contactor isolating the IDG from the respective AC bus DISC: Mechanically disconnects the IDG (must be held in position for one second) What, operationally, is powered even while the batteries are off? PANEL REFUEL, ENGINE 1A FIRE EXTINGUISH, ENGINE FIRE 1B FIRE EXTINGUISH What happens when I pull the ENG fire handle? What happens when I rotate? Pull: Commands the fuel shutoff, hydraulic shutoff, bleed air shutoff, and bleed air x-bleed valve to close. Rotate: Extinguishes fire (rotating counter clockwise will discharge bottle A, rotating clockwise will discharge bottle B) How many halon bottles serve engine fire suppression? How are each of these bottles activated? 2 (A and B). Rotating the fire extinguish knob COUNTER-clockwise, will activate bottle A into the associated engine. A CLOCKWISE rotation, will activate bottle B into the associated engine. What does the APU emergency stop button do? Closes the APU SOV, shuts down the APU, and lights up the APU fire extinguisher push button. What does the APU fire extinguisher button do? Discharges the fire extinguisher bottle into the APU How many halon bottles serve APU fire suppression? 1 How many smoke detectors are installed in each cargo compartments? FWD: 3 AFT: 2 How many halon bottle(s) serve Cargo fire suppression? 2 for each cargo compartment (high-rate, low-rate) How many times do I need to press the cargo fire extinguisher button to discharge the low rate bottle (WITH MESSAGE) 1) In flight 2) Ground 1) Once (activates automatically after 1 minute in flight) 2) Twice How many times do I need to press the cargo fire extinguisher button to discharge the low rate bottle (WITHOUT MESSAGE) 1) In flight 2) Ground 1) 2 (first press arms the system without message, activates automatically after 1 minute in flight) 2) 3 (first press arms the system without message) What happens automatically when smoke is detected in the FWD cargo bin? The AFT? FWD: Air circulation fan is turned off, high-rate fire extinguishing bottle is armed, forward compartment ventilation outflow valve is commanded closed. AFT: Nothing happens automatically How long does the low-rate fire extinguisher discharge for? How long of a diversion does that allow for? 75 minutes, 60 minutes.
