1 engine is shutdown.

RAT is deployed.

Both AC transfer busses lose power.

Correct! Wrong!

If the APU is in the attended mode, what fault causes an immediate automatic shutdown?

High oil temperature.

APU controller failure.

High EGT.

Low oil pressure.

Correct! Wrong!

The APU has attended and unattended operating modes. The attended mode operates when either engine is running or starting, or when the airplane is in flight. The unattended mode operates at all other times on the ground.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

How long is the cool-down period for the APU attended and unattended modes automatic shutdown?

For the following faults, the APU continues to operate and the EICAS message APU LIMIT displays:

High EGT and low oil pressure.

High EGT, overspeed, high oil temperature and low oil pressure.

High EGT, overspeed, underspeed, high oil temperature and low oil pressure.

High EGT, high oil temperature and low oil pressure.

Correct! Wrong!

Cooldown period when the APU is shut down after the APU LIMIT message is displayed.

60 seconds.

90 seconds

120 seconds.

There is no cool down period.

Correct! Wrong!

If AC power is not available or no AC pump pressurizes the left fuel manifold, the DC pump in the right main tank provides APU fuel.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

The DC pump in the left main tank provides APU fuel.

In the attended mode, any of the following faults cause the APU to shut down immediately:

APU fire/inlet overtemperature, APU overspeed, and APU controller failure.

APU fire/inlet overtemperature and overspeed/loss of overspeed protection

APU fire/inlet overtemperature, overspeed/loss of overspeed protection, and APU controller failure

APU fire/inlet overtemperature, overspeed/loss of overspeed protection, APU controller failure and speed droop.

Correct! Wrong!

Rotating the APU selector to OFF begins the shutdown cycle by closing the APU bleed air valve. The APU continues running for a cooldown period. The EICAS memo message APU COOLDOWN is displayed during the cooldown period. When the cooldown period finishes, the APU shuts down.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!
