    Study Notes

    Fire Test Push Button

    • When an ENG Fire pb is released, the squib lights are illuminated.
    • The Fire test pb verifies the detection system loop circuit integrity and the squib circuits of the extinguishing system.

    Fire Protection System

    • The engine fire detectors are located on the fan, turbine, pylon, and core.
    • The agent pushbutton is active when the corresponding "DISCH" light is on.
    • The Engine and APU fire protection system includes 2 fire agent bottles for each engine and 1 fire agent bottle for the APU.

    Engine Fire

    • When the Engine Fire pb is released, the fuel crossfeed valve, LP fuel, and hydraulic fire valves are closed.
    • The extinguishing system is controlled by the FDU.
    • The systems isolated when Engine Fire pb is released are fuel, electricity, air, and hydraulic.

    APU Fire

    • When APU Fire pb is released, the APU generator is de-energized.
    • The APU fire detection system comprises two fire detection loops.
    • The systems isolated when APU Fire pb is released are fuel, air, and electricity.
    • APU fire on ground is normally extinguished from the APU fire panel.

    Flight Control

    • Pitch direct law is a direct side stick to elevator relationship with AUTOTRIM operation.
    • The THS is not available after loss of FAC 1 and 2.
    • The PFD displays in amber the message "USE MAN PITCH TRIM" in Direct Law.

    Lift Dumping

    • Lift dumping is done using spoilers 1 to 4.

    Rudder Pedal Movement

    • Rudder pedal movement is caused by yaw damping signals.

    Failure Scenarios

    • If ELAC 1 and 2 have failed, pitch control is provided by the FAC's.
    • If FAC 1 and 2 have failed, the rudder can always be controlled from the pedals.
    • If SEC 1 or 2 have failed, the elevator and pitch trim are controlled by the other SEC.
