  • free of obstructions

What is the purpose of an accumulator in a hydraulic system?

The accumulator of the hydraulic system is used...

for damping pressure surges (peaks) in the system.


as a storage of engergy, i.e. it provides the ability to drive a unit one time or several times even if the pumps do not work or it helps if a lot of working units have to be driven at the same time.

The cabin pressure is...

higher than ambient pressure

What is a cabin rate of descent?

The increase in cabin pressure is expressed as cabin rate of descent.

How do cabin pressure and atmospheric pressure change under normal condition during climb after take-off with an aeroplane equiped with a pressurised cabin?

Please consider also the rate of change.

Both decrease, but cabin pressure decreases more slowly than atmospheric pressure.

Define "cabin differential pressure"

cabin pressure minus ambient pressure.

  • aileron
  • rudder
  • elevator
  • roll spoiler
     

What is the task of the fan-air-pre-cooler in a bleed air powered pneumatic system of a turbine engine driven aeroplane?

It is to decrease compressor bleed air temperature before it is distributed and used in the pneumatic system

For a flap system, outline the "load limiting protection"

It protects the flaps from excessive airload by retracting the flaps automatically at a certain flight speed.

Name all warnings of the cabin pressurization system of a jet transport aeroplane!

1) Cabin altitude warning
2) Cabin differential pressure warning

 

Consider a large transport aeroplane with a pressurized cabin.

Is there a warning if the pressure inside the cabin gets too low?

If there is a warning, please describe it.

aural Cabin altitude warning

warning is triggered if cabin altitude exceeds 10000 ft

What is the pilots action if the cabin altitude rises (slowly) above 10000ft?

  • analyse the situation, 
  • options are:
    • check automatic cabin pressure controller 
    • Close outflow valve manually 
    • reduce flight altitude

Which are the tasks of the airconditioning system of a large transport aeroplane?

  • Provide a normal temperature range in the cabin
  • Deliver a sufficient amount of clean air into the cabin
  • (Usually in a conventional aeroplane configuration: Keeping the humidity low.
  • But for some aeroplanes or cabin sections: Keeping the humidity in a comfortable range)
