Each pneumatic system is designed to:

Please select 2 correct answers

Select the air source compressor stage and regulate bleed air pressure via the BMCs (Bleed Monitoring Computers).

Select the air source compressor stage, regulate bleed air pressure and bleed air temperature

Select the air source compressor stage and regulate bleed air pressure.

Correct! Wrong!

With APU supplying the pneumatic system and X-Bleed Valve set on Close position:

Engines Bleed Valves on left side are closed and Bleed Valves on the right side are opened.

All Engine Bleed Valves will closed.

All Engine Bleed Valves will open.

Correct! Wrong!

High pressure air is supplied from:

Engine bleed systems, APU load compressor, Two HP ground connections.

Engine, APU and Air Starter Unit Bleed systems.

Engine and APU bleed systems.

Correct! Wrong!

Each pneumatic system is controlled and monitored by two Bleed Monitoring Computer (BMC) channels.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

Each system is controlled and monitored by one Bleed Monitoring Computer (BMC) channel.

The LH and RH bleed valves are pneumatically-controlled by BMC1 and BMC2 respectively, and are electrically-operated.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

The LH and RH bleed valves are electrically-controlled by BMC1 and BMC2 respectively, and are pneumatically-operated.

If an engine bleed pylon leak is detected, both bleed valves on same side will close, the X-Bleed Valve will receive a closure signal, and:

A FAULT lights will appear on both ENG BLEED p/b associated with the closed Engine Bleed Valves.

A FAULT light will appear only on the ENG BLEED p/b associated with the pylon leak and wing anti-ice must not be used.

Wing anti-ice may be used.

Correct! Wrong!

Air is normally bled from the intermediate pressure stage (IP) of engine HP compressor, to minimize fuel penalty.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

The pneumatic system supplies high pressure air:

Only for the hydraulic and water reservoir pressurization.

Only for air conditioning, engine start, and wing anti-icing.

For air conditioning, engine start, wing anti-icing, as well as for hydraulic and water reservoir pressurization.

Correct! Wrong!

Air is supplied to the aircraft’s pneumatic system via two HP ground connectors. The crossbleed valve has to be opened manually to provide air for both sides.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

With an APU leak signal:

The APU Bleed Valve will close automatically.

The APU Bleed Valve must be closed manually as soon as possible.

The X-Bleed Valve must be closed manually as soon as possible.

Correct! Wrong!

A leak detection system is provided to detect and locate any overheat in the vicinity of the hot air ducts.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!
