    Study Notes

    Potable Water System

    • The potable water system is pressurized by the pneumatic system.

    Cabin Altitude Alerts

    • FASTEN SEAT BELT and RETURN TO YOUR SEAT signs illuminate when cabin altitude exceeds 11,300 feet.
    • NO SMOKING and EXIT signs illuminate under the same cabin altitude condition of 11,300 feet.

    NO SMOKING Switch Functionality

    • In AUTO position, the NO SMOKING switch illuminates NO SMOKING and EXIT signs when landing gear is extended and turns them off when landing gear is retracted.

    Power Loss Indicators

    • If normal electrical power is lost, Captain's instrument panel (powered CRTs and flood lighting) remains available.

    Oxygen Mask Operation

    • The red tab N/100% PUSH Switch on the oxygen mask should normally be at the 100% position.

    Cockpit Door Access

    • Entering the Emergency Access code on the Flight Deck Access Panel will result in the cockpit door automatically unlocking after 30 seconds if no further action is taken.

    Galley Power Supply

    • Galleys are powered by both Main AC Busses.

    Cargo Door Operation

    • Cargo door operation is normally powered by a yellow electric hydraulic pump.

    Passenger WIFI System

    • The aircraft passenger WIFI system can be powered OFF using the GALLEY or GALLEY & CAB switch.

    Pneumatic System Air Supply

    • Air for the pneumatic system is typically bled from the intermediate pressure stage of the compressor.

    Pneumatic Pressure Management

    • If pneumatic bleed air pressure is insufficient despite HP stage valve being open, engines will spool up automatically.

    APU Air Supply Effects

    • When the APU supplies air to the pneumatic system, the crossbleed valve opens while engine bleed valves close.

    Pneumatic System Control

    • The operation of the pneumatic system is controlled and monitored by two Bleed Monitoring Computers (BMCs).

    Leak Detection Failures

    • If BMC 1 fails, leak detection for Engine 1 and APU is lost.
    • If BMC 2 fails, leak detection for Engine 2 is lost.

    Takeoff Memo Indicators

    • A blue item on the takeoff memo signifies a checklist item that requires accomplishment.
