1. INTRODUCTION
The indicating and recording systems consist of components that provide visual and aural
indications of system operation, aircraft configurations and to record aircraft information.
Data from the aircraft systems and from each engine is received and processed by two data
concentrator units (DCU’s) located in the avionics compartment. The DCU’s provide
information to the engine indication and crew alerting system (EICAS). Master warning and
caution lights on the glareshield enhance the indication system. Audio signals are
generated within the DCUs and are heard through the flight deck speakers.

The engine indicating and crew alerting system (EICAS) provides the crew with two
electronic displays to monitor the engines, control surfaces and all major aircraft systems.
The EICAS system also provides the crew with alerting system messages that are posted on
the EICAS displays in the form of warning, caution, advisory and status messages. All
warning and caution messages will also illuminate the MASTER WARNING or MASTER
CAUTION lights on the glareshield. Some crew alerts are also accompanied by aural tones
and voice advisories. The EICAS system can also illuminate switchlights on specific system
control panels to provide component/system status or to prompt corrective crew action.

Crew alerting system messages appear in the message area on both EICAS displays
(ED1 and ED2). The messages are arranged by their urgency and order of occurrence.
All crew alerting system messages are divided into one of four categories: warnings,
cautions, advisories, or status.
S Warnings messages, are the most urgent type of crew alerts and indicate
operational or aircraft system conditions that require immediate corrective action. All
warning messages are preceded by a triple chime and appear in red at the top of
the message area on ED1. For all warnings, the red MASTER WARNING lights will
flash. Some warnings also have an aural alert consisting of a unique tone and a
voice advisory. Warning messages cannot be removed from view, unless the
applicable failure has been rectified.
S Cautions messages, are less urgent than warnings and indicate operational or
aircraft system conditions that require prompt corrective action. All caution
messages are preceded by a single chime and appear in amber immediately below
the warnings in the message area on ED1. For all cautions, the amber MASTER
CAUTION lights will flash. Caution messages can be removed from view by using
the CAS button on the EICAS control panel.
S Advisories messages, are used to show that a safe condition exists. They appear in
green at the top of the message area on ED2. Advisory messages cannot be
removed from view, unless the applicable system or switch has been deactivated or
deselected.
The most recent message appears at the top of its respective group of messages. A
message is automatically removed from EICAS when the associated condition no
longer exists. In this case, messages which appeared below the deleted message,
each move up one line. When a new fault occurs, the new message will move older
messages down one line.
If the number of warnings exceeds the message area (number of lines), then only the
most recent warning messages are displayed and a red PAGE 1/2 appears at the
bottom of the message area.
When more caution messages exist than can fit in the message area, a second page of
cautions will be created. The second page of cautions will be indicated as Page 1 of 2
in the top RH corner of ED1. The CAS button on the EICAS control panel is used to
page through the caution messages.
S Caution messages can be removed from view by pressing the CAS button,
providing that both main generators are operating and on-line. A MSGS icon will
appear, advising the crew that the caution messages are out of view.
NOTE
When more status messages exist than can fit in the message area, a second page of
status messages will be created. The second page of status messages will be
indicated as Page 1 of 2 in the top LH corner of ED2. The STAT button on the EICAS
control panel is used to page through the status messages.
S Status messages can be removed from view, anytime the EICAS system is
powered, by pressing the STAT button on the EICAS control panel. A MSGS icon
will appear, advising the crew that status messages are out of view.

1. RECORDING
A flight data recorder (FDR) records aircraft systems data (including altitude, airspeed,
position, heading, acceleration and radio communications events). The FDR provides a
digital record of aircraft data for the last 25 hours of aircraft operation. The FDR normally
receives data from data concentrator unit No.1 (DCU 1), records the information and sends it
back to the DCU1 for comparison. If DCU 1 fails, DCU 2 will supply the data to the FDR.
The FDR will operate when the STROBE lights switch or BEACON lights switch is selected
on, or if the aircraft is in a weight off wheels condition. The FDR has an internal clock which
is used as the time reference from which events are recorded. An event can be marked by
the pilot by operation of a FDR EVENT button on the Miscellaneous Test panel.
A cockpit voice recorder (CVR) starts recording as soon as power is applied to the aircraft. It
has a solid state non-volatile memory that records cockpit and mixed PA audio. The unit has
a recording capacity of 30 minutes (120 minutes, depending on option). The deceleration of
impact removes the power to prevent the data from being erased.
The FDR and CVR each includes an underwater locater device (ULD). The ULD is a battery
operated, underwater, pulsed acoustic beacon which has an internal switch that is activated
by water. When activated, the unit sends out a 36.5 to 38.5 kilohertz signal.

Status Page
The maintenance diagnostic system is used by maintenance personnel to view current and
historical information relating to specific aircraft systems health and operation.
The system uses a maintenance diagnostic computer (MDC) to process and record avionics
and aircraft systems data for future retrieval. A maintenance switch, located behind the
pilot’s seat, is used to enter the maintenance diagnostics mode. The multifunctional displays
(MFD’s) are used to display the maintenance data and the EICAS control panel is used to
control and select information on the MFD display. Status and function information for all
aircraft Line Replaceable Units (LRU’s) is displayed in coded words using different
numbering systems (binary, octal and hexadecimal). Maintenance personnel use a data
dictionary to decode the displayed information.
A data loader unit is used to upload or download data to or from a floppy disk.
When the maintenance switch is set to MFD1 or MFD2, the applicable MFD is configured to
display maintenance related display pages and the respective Display Control Panel (DCP)
is configured as a maintenance page control panel. The first page displayed will be the

1. INTRODUCTION
The automatic flight control system (AFCS) provides integration of the autopilot and flight
director systems. The AFCS system consists of two interlinked flight control computers
(FCC 1 and FCC 2), a two axis autopilot, two yaw dampers, automatic elevator trim control
and assorted servos and actuators. The flight director commands the flight crew to follow
cues on the primary flight displays (PFD’s).
The flight control computer receives mode selections from the flight control panel and sensor
information from the air data system, navigation systems, attitude and heading reference
system, radio altimeter and surface position sensors.
The flight control computer receives mode selections from the flight control panel and sensor
information from the air data system, navigation systems, inertial reference system, radio
altimeter and surface position sensors.<0025>
The FCC’s provide flight guidance commands to the autopilot which provides the control
signals to drive the aileron and elevator servos as well as the horizontal stabilizer trim. The
flight director provides computed steering commands using a command bar on the attitude
director indicator portion of the PFD’s. The steering commands provide visual guidance for
the pilot to manually steer the aircraft as defined by the selected modes of operation.

Integration among the various avionics systems is provided by the integrated avionics
processing system (IAPS) which is a computer card cage located in the avionics
compartment. Two flight control computers (FCC’s), mounted inside the IAPS, are the main
computers for the automatic flight control system (AFCS). Control logic for the dual flight
directors, the two axes autopilot with automatic pitch trim and the dual yaw dampers is
contained within the two FCCs.

A. Flight Director
The flight director provides visual guidance, by means of command bars on the attitude
director indicator (ADI), to fly the aircraft manually or to visually monitor autopilot
response to the guidance commands. The visual guidance commands (pitch and roll
control) are integrated with the AFCS modes, selected on the flight control panel, for
autopilot operation. AFCS operating modes can be selected to the flight directors with
the autopilot disengaged. Pitch (including speed control) and roll guidance cues from
the AFCS are displayed on the ADI portion of the PFD’s.
NOTE
Transfer mode controls the routing of flight guidance commands to the autopilot and
flight directors. When transfer mode is selected, the copilot’s flight guidance command
drives both flight directors. When not transferred, the pilot’s flight guidance command
drives both flight directors.

Roll mode generates commands to hold the heading that exists when the mode is
initiated, unless the roll angle upon initiation is over 5 degrees (commands are
then generated to hold the roll angle). The roll mode reference is reset to the
current heading, or current roll angle, upon autopilot engagement, FD SYNC or
AP SYNC.
Roll mode is automatically selected, when no other lateral mode is active, and the
flight director is on. Roll mode is cleared by the selection of another lateral mode.
Roll mode is annunciated with a green ROLL message in the lateral capture field
on the primary flight display.
Lateral take-off mode generates a wings level command while on the ground.
After take-off, it generates a heading hold command, with a 5-degree bank limit,
using the heading which existed at take-off. Selecting a lateral take-off mode
turns on both flight directors, disengages the autopilot and clears all other lateral
modes.
Heading select mode generates commands to capture and maintain the selected
digital heading readout and heading bug on the PFD. The selected heading can
be changed by rotating the HDG knob (up to 360 degrees) on the flight control
panel (FCP). Pushing the HDG knob will set the selected heading to the current
heading.
Heading select mode is selected by pushing the HDG switch on the FCP.
Heading select mode is cleared by pushing HDG switch or by selecting another
lateral mode.
Heading select mode is annunciated with a green HDG message in the lateral
capture field.
The capture point is a function of closure rate, with the capture point moving
away from the radial/beam for high closure rates. Capture will always occur if
VOR deviation is less than 5% of full scale (0.1 dot), or localizer deviation is less
than 30% (0.6 dot). Navigation capture clears the heading selected. A localizer
capture clears half bank and turbulence modes.
Dead reckoning is provided during VOR station passage. When DME data is
available, dead reckoning region is approximately where the horizontal distance
to the station is less than the altitude to the station. Without DME data, dead
reckoning is based on a high rate of VOR deviation.
The CRS 1 knob is used to set the course pointer on the pilot’s PFD. The CRS 2
knob is used to set the course pointer on the copilot’s PFD. Pushing the button
in the course knob will select the course required to fly directly to a station.
Navigation mode is selected by pushing the NAV switch on the FCP. Navigation
mode is cleared by pushing the NAV switch again, by selecting another lateral
mode or by changing the source of the on-side navigation signal.
Navigation mode arming is annunciated with two messages on the primary flight
display, a green HDG message in the lateral capture field, and a white navigation
source identifier (VOR1/2, LOC1/2 or FMS1/2) in the lateral arm field.
The capture point is a function of closure rate, with the capture point moving
away from the radial/beam for high closure rates. Capture will always occur if
VOR deviation is less than 5% of full scale (0.1 dot), or localizer deviation is less
than 30% (0.6 dot). If the other side does not concurrently capture, it will
continue to operate in heading select until it independently captures.
Dead reckoning is provided during VOR station passage. When DME data is
available, dead reckoning region is where DME distance to the station is less than
0.6 nautical mile (DME). Without DME data, dead reckoning is based on a high
rate of VOR deviation.
The CRS 1 knob is used to set the course pointer on the pilot’s PFD. The CRS 2
knob is used to set the course pointer on the copilot’s PFD. Pushing the button
in the course knob will select the course required to fly directly to a station.
Approach mode is selected by pushing the APPR switch on the FCP. Approach
mode is cleared by pushing the APPR switch again, by selecting another lateral
mode, or by changing the source of the on-side navigation signal.
Approach mode arming is annunciated with two messages on the primary flight
display, a green HDG message in the lateral capture field, and a white navigation
source identifier (VOR1/2, LOC1/2 or FMS1/2) in the lateral arm field. Approach
mode capture/tracking is annunciated with a green message in the lateral capture
field on the primary flight display which identifies the navigation source (VOR1/2,
LOC1/2 or FMS1/2). Dead reckoning operation is annunciated with a white DR
message on the primary flight display.
Back course mode generates commands to capture and track the selected back
course displayed on the primary flight display. Back course is armed when
selected, but cannot capture if the flight control computer is not receiving valid
localizer data.
The capture point is a function of closure rate, with the capture point moving
away from the radial/beam for high closure rates. Back course capture clears
turbulence, half bank and heading modes. The CRS 1 knob is used to select the
pilot’s course, the CRS 2 knob is used to for the copilot’s course, both displayed
on the PFD’s.
Back course mode is selected by pushing the B/C switch on the flight control
panel. Back course mode is cleared by pushing the B/C switch again, by
selecting another lateral mode, or by changing the source of the navigation signal
to something other than a localizer.
NOTE
Back course mode arming is annunciated with two messages on the primary
flight display, a green HDG message in the lateral capture field, and a white
navigation source identifier (B/C 1/2) in the lateral arm field. Back course mode
capture/tracking is annunciated with a green message in the lateral capture field
on the primary flight display which identifies the navigation source (B/C 1/2).
Back course captures are cleared, and/or prevented, in an FCC when the flight
director on its side of the aircraft is driven by flight guidance commands from the
other FCC.
Back course steering information is invalidated when the navigation source is not
a localizer.
Half bank mode reduces the maximum commanded bank angle to 15 degrees.
The automatic mode transition will occur at 31,600 feet. Half bank mode has no
effect on roll mode operation.
Half bank mode is selected by pushing the 1/2 BANK switch on the FCP. Half
bank mode is automatically selected when climbing through 31,600 feet (pressure
altitude) or if the aircraft is above the half bank transition altitude when the flight
director is turned on. Selection is inhibited when in the take-off mode, go-around
mode, on-side approach mode capture, or any on-side localizer capture.
Half bank mode is manually cleared by pushing the 1/2 BANK switch again, and
is automatically cleared when descending through the half bank transition
altitude.
Half bank is annunciated with a white 1/2 BNK message on the primary flight
display.
When pitch mode is selected, the pitch reference (pitch command on the primary
flight display) is set to the current pitch angle. Pitch mode generates commands
to maintain the pitch reference value.
The pitch reference value can be changed using the VS pitch wheel. Rotation of
the VS pitch wheel will change the pitch reference by 1/2 degree per click. The
pitch reference is reset to the current pitch attitude upon either autopilot
engagement, transferring to pitch mode, or synchronization.
When the preselected altitude is captured, rotating the VS pitch wheel also
rearms the altitude preselect mode.
Pitch mode is automatically selected when no other vertical mode is active, and
the flight director is on. Rotating the VS pitch wheel on the flight control panel will
manually select pitch mode when the flight director is on, unless in glideslope
capture or VS mode. Pitch mode is cleared by the selection of a vertical hold
mode, or by a vertical mode capture.
Pitch mode is annunciated with a green PTCH message in the vertical capture
field on the primary flight display.
Selecting vertical mode turns on both flight directors, disengages the autopilot,
clears all other vertical modes and switches the flight guidance commands to a
dual independent configuration. Lateral and vertical take-off mode selections are
coincident.
Altitude preselect mode is armed upon selection. The capture point is a function
of closure rate, with the capture point moving away from the preselected altitude
for high closure rates.
Capture will not occur if the preselected altitude is slewed through current
altitude. At capture, the previously active vertical mode is cleared.
If a new preselect altitude is not set, then selection of IAS, MACH, PTCH or VS
mode, will result in the current altitude being captured.
Pushing in the ALT knob will cancel aural and visual alerts associated with the
preselected altitude.
Altitude preselect is annunciated on the PFD with a white ALTS message in the
vertical arm field for arm; a green ALTS CAP message in the vertical capture field
for capture, and a green ALTS message in the vertical capture field for track.
Altitude captures, which are cleared without a subsequent selection of altitude
track or arm, are annunciated with a yellow ALTS message on the PFD, which will
remain for 10 seconds, or until altitude preselect is rearmed, whichever is shorter.
Altitude hold mode generates commands to capture and maintain the altitude
reference. When altitude hold mode is selected, the altitude reference is set to
the current pressure altitude.
When altitude hold mode is selected by the flight management system, the
altitude reference is a barometric value from the VNAV, which is converted to
pressure altitude upon completion of capture.
Altitude hold mode is selected by pushing the ALT switch on the flight control
panel, or by changing the altitude preselect setting while in altitude preselected
track. In VNAV mode, altitude hold can be selected by the flight management
system. Selection is inhibited when in glideslope capture or overspeed.
Altitude hold mode is cleared by pushing the ALT switch again, by selection of a
vertical hold mode, or by vertical mode capture.
Altitude hold mode is annunciated with a green ALT message in the vertical
capture field on the primary flight display.
The airspeed reference can be manually set, using the speed knob. The airspeed
reference is reset to current airspeed by the selection of FD SYNC or AP
engagement.
Speed mode is displayed in either IAS or MACH. Selection of the speed readout
is accomplished by pushing the SPEED knob on the flight control panel.
Vertical speed mode is manually selected by pushing the VS switch on the flight
control panel. Selection is inhibited when in glideslope capture or overspeed.
Vertical speed mode is cleared by pushing the VS switch again, by selecting a
vertical hold mode, or by a vertical mode capture.
The FCC operates in the active mode. Capture will not occur if the localizer is not
captured, or if the FCC is not receiving valid glideslope data. Upon glideslope
capture, other vertical modes are automatically cleared on the captured side. If
the other side does not concurrently capture the glideslope, it will continue to
operate in the current active vertical mode, or ensuing vertical mode, until it
independently captures glideslope.
Climb or descent rate is achieved by moving the rotary wheel on the flight control
panel.
Glideslope mode will generate commands to capture and track the glideslope.
Captures can be performed from above or below the localizer beam.
The capture point is a function of closure rate, with the capture point moving
away from the beam for high closure rates. Capture will always occur if deviation
is less than 10% of the full scale (under 0.2 dot).
When a go-around causes the autopilot to disengage, the autopilot warning can
be cancelled by another push to the TOGA switch, or by pushing the AP
disconnect switch.
The primary flight displays (PFD’s) alert the pilots that the aircraft is approaching the
preselected altitude, or that the aircraft is deviating from a previously selected and
acquired altitude. Altitude advisories are indicated on the altimeter portion of the PFD’s
at the preselect altitude digital readouts (above the barometric tape). It is also
displayed at the preselect bugs, including the double bars (across the fine and coarse
tapes).
The altitude alert system processes data from the air data computers and is
independent of autopilot or flight director mode. The ALT knob on the flight control
panel is used to set the desired altitude.
The preselect digital readout and bugs change state and color as follows:
S At the altitude alert threshold, the readout and bugs flash magenta for approximately
four seconds, and a one-second aural tone sounds. The threshold is approximately
1,000 feet from the selected altitude.
S When within 200 feet from the selected altitude, the readout and bugs come on
steady to indicate altitude capture.
S If the aircraft subsequently deviates more than 200 feet from the selected altitude,
the readout and altitude bugs (double bars) will flash amber and a one second tone
will be heard. The readout and altitude bugs will continue to flash amber as long as
the aircraft is deviated more than 200 feet or cancelled.
S When the airplane is --200 feet below selected altitude the flashing magenta bugs
and readout will cancel.
S If the airplane subsequently continues to deviate (±1000 feet) from the selected
altitude, a one second tone will be heard.
S When the airplane is again within 200 feet of the selected altitude, the readout and
bugs will turn magenta and stop flashing.
Altitude alerts can be cancelled by pushing the ALT switch or selecting a different
altitude. Altitude alerts are inhibited if the glideslope is captured.

1. AUTOPILOT
The automatic flight control system (AFCS) provides a two axes, digital, fail-passive autopilot
(AP). The AP system automatically controls the aircraft in the pitch, roll and yaw axis, in
response to flight director commands, by actuating the appropriate control surfaces. The
fail-passive AP system is protected against internal single hardware faults and limits any
malfunctioning commands to a response that is easily controlled by the pilot. Command
inputs to the ailerons and elevators are provided by servos controlled by the flight control
computers (FCC’s). The FCC’s input the yaw damper system to control the rudder
NOTE
The AP is annunciated with lights at the side of the AP ENG switch on the FCP and a green
AP message on the EICAS status page. During AP synchronization, the AP annunciation
changes to amber.
Turbulence mode reduces autopilot gain so that flight control computer response to turbulent
flight conditions is slowed and aircraft motion is smoother. Turbulence mode is selected by
pushing the TURB switch on the FCP Turbulence mode cannot be selected, if the on-side
localizer is captured, or if the AP is disengaged. Turbulence mode can be cleared by
pushing the TURB switch again, by an on--side localizer capture or by AP disengagement.

1. INTRODUCTION
The auxiliary power unit (APU) is installed within a fireproof titanium enclosure in the aft
equipment compartment. The APU is a fully automated gas turbine power plant which
drives an electrical generator. The generator is rated at 30 kVA and produces 115 VAC
electrical power for backup to the main engine generators (refer to Chapter 7). The APU
also supplies compressed air to the pneumatic system for main engine starting and
environmental control (refer to Chapter 19).
The maximum operating altitude of the APU is 37,000 feet. The maximum altitude for APU
starting is 30,000 feet. The maximum altitude for main engine starting using APU bleed air
is 13,000 feet. ECS operation using APU bleed air is 15,000 feet.
An Electronic Control Unit (ECU), located in the aft equipment compartment, controls the
APU through all phases of operation. The ECU monitors all sensors and switches, sets up
the appropriate fuel acceleration schedules and relays specific operating data to the engine
indication and crew alerting system (EICAS). The ECU is powered through selection of a
PWR/FUEL switchlight on the APU control panel in the flight compartment.
The APU intake door position is continuously shown on the EICAS status page. APU RPM
and exhaust gas temperature (EGT) indications are shown on the EICAS status page, only
when the APU PWR/FUEL switchlight on the APU control panel is selected.

Status Page
The APU power plant consists of a gas turbine engine and a gearbox.
A. Engine
B. Gearbox
The gearbox reduces the turbine shaft rpm to a speed suitable to operate the gearbox
mounted accessories. Accessories include the lubrication module, fuel control unit,
electric starter and generator. The gearbox has an integral oil sump. The oil level can
be checked using a sight glass on the oil filler assembly.
1. SYSTEMS
The APU consists of a lubrication system, fuel system, ignition and starting systems, and an
air intake and exhaust.
A. Lubrication
The lubricating system consists of a mechanically driven lubrication module, oil filter, oil
cooler, low oil pressure switch, and an oil temperature sensor. The lube module
provides pressurized oil to the power plant, gearbox and generator for lubrication and
heat removal.
B. Fuel
Fuel is supplied to the APU fuel control unit from the left and right wing tanks by the
XFLOW/APU pump (refer to Chapter 13). The fuel shutoff valve is opened by the ECU
at 10% speed. The fuel control unit starts, stops and modulates the flow of fuel to the
APU in response to commands from the ECU.
The ignition and starter systems are controlled by the ECU. The ECU commands the
DC starter motor to rotate the power plant. The starter accelerates the power plant to a
specific speed where the ECU introduces fuel to the combustor. The ignition system is
provided to ignite the fuel/air mixture in the combustor which further accelerates the
power plant. As the APU accelerates towards the onspeed condition, the starter is
disengaged. When the APU reaches normal operating speed the ignition is turned off.
At this point the engine becomes self sufficient.
D. Air Intake
The air inlet door is located in the upper rear fuselage. An actuator, controlled by the
ECU positions the door. When open, the door provides ram air for APU operation and
the oil cooling. On the ground, the air inlet door has only two positions, open and
closed (0 and 42_). In flight, during APU start above 13,000 feet, the ECU limits the
door position in response to APU engine rpm and aircraft speed. This prevents
excessive amounts of ram air which could cause the APU to flameout. For APU start
below 13,000 feet, the door is fully open.
When the APU is not operating, the door remains closed to prevent windmilling of the
compressor. The inlet door also serves as a barrier in the event of fire.

1. CONTROL
The APU electronic control unit (ECU) provides full automatic control of APU starting,
stopping, and protects the APU during all modes of operation. The control system ensures
that priority is given to electrical loads by reducing bleed airflow.
A. Starting
S The air inlet door opens (position is displayed on the EICAS status page)
S The APU RPM and EGT gauges are displayed on the EICAS status page
The starter motor is deactivated at 50% rpm and the START legend goes out. When
the APU reaches 99% rpm, ignition is turned off and two seconds later the AVAIL
legend, in the START/STOP switchlight, illuminates to notify the crew that the APU is
ready to supply electrical power and bleed air.
NOTE
Effectivity:
NOTE
B. Stopping
To shutdown the APU, the crew deselects the START/STOP switchlight on the APU
panel. The APU will automatically shed its loading and shutdown. The PWR/FUEL
switch is deselected to close the fuel shutoff valve and to remove primary electrical
power to the ECU.
In the event of an emergency, the flight crew can press the APU FIRE PUSH switchlight
on the glareshield. On the ground, the APU can be shut down by pushing an APU
emergency stop button located in the aft equipment compartment or by selecting the
APU shut--off (cover--guarded) switch on the external services panel on the RH forward
fuselage. Either selection sends a signal to the ECU to carry out an immediate
shutdown.

is provided in the event of a failure of one of the radio tuning units. The audio integrating
system receives inputs from the radios and the intercom/interphone systems. The system
then provides audio output to the flight crew speakers, headsets, passenger address
system, communication radios and recorders. All incoming, outgoing and internal
communications are recorded on the cockpit voice recorder.
The flight crew intercom system permits communications between stations within the aircraft,
selection and monitoring of audio on the communications and navigation receivers, and
selection for transmission on the communications transceivers. The flight crew can select
and monitor the audio output of one or more communications transceivers and navigation
receivers.
Individual speakers, installed above the pilot and copilot, are used to monitor audio selected
at the audio control panels. Hand microphone jacks are installed at the rear of each control
column. Headset jacks are installed below the pilot’s and copilot’s side consoles and the
right side of the observer’s station.
The passenger address system enables the pilots and flight attendants to address
passengers through speakers located throughout the cabin and in the lavatory.
The announcement and boarding music system provides voice messages and music
through the passenger address system. <0009><0035><0036><0085>

The audio integrating system provides display, switching and control of all incoming and
outgoing audio signals from the aircraft navigation and communication systems. The audio
integrating system receives inputs from various radio sources and from internally generated
audio systems. The system provides audio output to the flight crew speakers, headsets,
passenger address system, communication radios and to the cockpit voice recorder.
Three audio control panels, located in the centre pedestal, provide the primary interface
between flight crew and audio system. Each audio control panel provides a rotary
transmit switch for selection of communication transceivers, interphone/service and
passenger address systems.
Audio from the selected system is enabled by pressing the corresponding pushbutton
and adjusting the desired volume. A switch and a potentiometer are combined in each
pushbutton. Audio sources selected on the audio control panel can be routed to the
flight compartment speakers by pressing in the speaker switch. Speaker volume is
controlled by rotating the speaker control.
A radio transmit (R/T) and intercom (I/C) switch is used to transmit on the radios or
passenger address system. The R/T position, when pressed, allows the pilot to
transmit. When released, it returns to the OFF position, to receive. Continuous (“hot
mike”) conversation is provided in the I/C position for the intercom systems. A radio
transmit (R/T) and intercom (I/C) switch is also provided on each pilot control wheel.
NOTE

Selecting VOICE on the VOICE/BOTH switch eliminates the station Morse code
identifier from VOR, ILS and ADF received signals. The MASK/BOOM switch gives the
flight crew a choice between headset with boom mike (or hand mike) with BOOM
selected, or the oxygen mask microphone, when MASK is selected.
During normal operation, the latching EMER/NORM switch is in the NORM position.
The EMER position is used only when the audio integrating system fails. The
EMER/NORM switch is disabled at the observer’s station.
When the pilot’s audio control panel EMER/NORM switch is set to EMER, the pilot’s
headset is connected directly to NAV 1 navigation radio and VHF 1 communication
radio. Most of the system is bypassed making most audio control panel functions
inoperative. Cockpit speakers are disabled and all warnings and tones are heard
through the headsets. The observers station, passenger address and interphones are
disabled in emergency mode.

Transceiver tuning range is 118.000 to 136.975 MHz. Frequency tuning and mode selection
is done by two primary radio tuning units (RTU). Frequency tuning can also be done by a
backup standby tuning unit or the FMS control display unit.
The radio tuning units and radio systems have an on-side relationship. RTU 1 monitors
and controls COM 1 and RTU 2 monitors and controls COM 2. In the event of total AC
power loss or failure of both radio tuning units, the backup tuning unit provides
reversionary control of COM 1.
Radio information is presented on two levels of the radio tuning units. The top level
page displays the overall status of all radios and allows the operator to make frequency
changes. A COM main page provides the means to change frequencies, codes and
operating modes.
The active VHF COM frequency is shown on the top left hand side of the radio tuning
unit top level page, while the preset frequency is displayed on the top right hand side.
Pressing the line select key adjacent to any frequency brings the tuning window to that
frequency. It is then possible to modify that frequency with the frequency select knobs.
Pressing the line select key adjacent to the preset frequency twice, swaps the active
frequency with the preset frequency. Pressing the line select key adjacent to the active
frequency twice, brings up the COM main page.
On the main page, pressing the line select key adjacent to the SQUELCH field toggles
the squelch ON or OFF. The selected state is displayed in large cyan letters. The
inactive state is displayed in smaller white letters.
If no entry is made on the main page within 20 seconds, the radio tuning unit display
will return to the default top level page. The operator can press the line select key next
to the RETURN line to return to the top level page at any time.
If the squelch is selected OFF, a SQ OFF message is displayed on the top level page.
Since Squelch ON is considered the normal operating mode it is not displayed on the
top level page. When a COM transceiver is transmitting, a TX annunciation is displayed
in cyan letters below and to the right of the active frequency field on the top level page.
The radio tuning units continuously monitor the status of the VHF COM transceivers
and if any discrepancy is detected between the commanded frequency and the actual
tuned frequency, the frequency indication is replaced by white dashes to warn the pilot
of the inconsistency.

Under normal conditions the backup tuning unit is in standby mode and acts as a
system monitor displaying the echoed frequencies from the radios. The backup tuning
unit provides radio control in the event of the loss of both radio tuning units and the
flight management system. The active frequencies are stored in non-volatile memory
and can be recalled after a power interruption.
When the backup tuning unit is switched on, it takes over control of the left side VHF
COM 1 and NAV 1, and overrides all other controls.
Radio tuning unit inhibit switches, on the backup tuning unit, are used to disable a failed
primary radio tuning unit. Cross-side tuning can then be accessed by using the 1/2
cross-side key on the serviceable radio tuning unit. Not all available radios can be
displayed on the radio tuning unit at once. Switching back and forth with the 1/2 key is
required to display all of the radios. When both radio tuning units fail, the displays go
blank and cross-side tuning becomes inoperative.

line key on the lower right side and the rotary frequency tuning knobs are used to select
the frequency and control the mode of operation. <0011>
The frequency and modes of operation for each HF system is controlled and monitored
from the Top Level page of the respective RTU, which displays the frequency, and
mode of operation. The HF line key on the lower right side and the rotary frequency
tuning knobs are used to select the frequency and control the mode of operation. <0060>
Before transmitting, the antenna must be tuned to the selected frequency through the
antenna coupler. The coupler tunes to the new frequency when the HF push-to-talk
(PTT) switch is pushed momentarily. When the coupler is tuning, a steady 1000-Hz tone
is heard in the headphone. The tone stops when the coupler is tuned. If a fault occurs,
a beeping tone is heard.
There are two main HF pages HF COM and HF PRESET for system operations. These
pages are accessed in sequence from the top-level page when the HF line key is
pushed. The main pages display the HF active frequencies, modes of operation, and
the preset frequency channels.

The ACARS operates with the flight management system to transmit downlink messages
and receive uplink messages using VHF 3. VHF 3 is used for data only, and not for
communications. Control of the ACARS functions is provided via the MENU pages on the
FMS CDU.
The CMU functions as the central processing and routing computer. The CMU gathers
aircraft data from the various systems such as: aircraft tail number, flight number,
departure station, etc. for use in the downlink messages and for event detection. The
system allows the aircraft to locate and acquire a ground station for communications.
The CMU interfaces with other avionics systems to provide ACARS function and
operation. These systems/components include:
S The FMS CDU, which provides the crew with a means for data entry into the
ACARS, ability to receive and display uplink messages and a visual indication that
the data communication link is operating properly.
S VHF 3 configured for data link. The CMU tunes VHF 3 to the ACARS data
frequency (Canada: 131.475 Mhz) (United States: 131.55 Mhz) (Europe: 131.725
Mhz). When the aircraft moves from one network coverage to another, the ACARS
will automatically search for the appropriate frequency. While searching for a usable
frequency, a NO COMM advisory is displayed on the CDU. The advisory will be
removed when the ACARS is communicating with a VHF ground station.
S The CMU, which uses ARINC buses for incoming data from the Data concentrator
units (DCU’s).
S The CMU also uses the Integrated Avionics Processor System ARINC buses for
incoming data.
S The transponder, which provides the aircrafts unique ICAO address (Mode S).
S Operational messages
The aircraft personality module (APM) is a memory unit which stores information unique
to the aircraft, such as tail number, ICAO address, aircraft type and configuration.
C. ACARS Printer
The printer is installed in the copilot’s side console. It is used for preflight and inflight
activities to print pilot selection of messages and weather data sent to it from the CMU.
The printer is also used by maintenance to download information.
D. ACARS Messages
Downlink messages originate onboard the aircraft and are transmitted to the
ground station automatically (appropriated system event detected) or by the crew.
The CMU encodes the downlink message and stores it in a downlink queue until
successfully transmitted.
Uplink messages originate on the ground and are transmitted to the CMU. When
the message is received, the CMU validates the data content and compares the
aircraft ICAO address within the messages to the ICAO address programmed in
the APM. If the addresses match, the ACARS then transmits an ACK or negative
acknowledgement (NACK) of receipt to the ground station. The ground station
will re---transmit the message if an ACK is not received within a specific time
frame. When an uplink message has been processed, a MESSAGE prompt is
displayed on the CDU (if the ACARS application is running). The message can
be viewed by selecting the message prompt. An EICAS advisory message
SELCAL VHF 3 and a SELCAL SELCAL aural is triggered whenever there is
reception of an uplink message.

The SELCAL system permits ground stations equipped with SELCAL tone transmitting
equipment to call individual aircraft selectively by means of a coded RF signal on the VHF
communication systems. When the SELCAL system receives the code, it sends a visual
and oral message to alert the flight crew. This eliminates the necessity of continuous
monitoring of routine radio signals.

provides the means of programming the decoder with the aircraft SELCAL code.
For SELCAL operation, the crew will normally tune one of the VHF radios to a pre-assigned
SELCAL frequency. When ATC contacts the flight crew, the ground communication
equipment sends a SELCAL code on this frequency. When the SELCAL signal is received
by the VHFcommunications system, it is redirected to the decoder. The decoder then sends
a signal to the EICAS and Audio Integrating System. A green SELCAL VHF advisory
message will be displayed on the EICAS status page and a “SELCAL” oral message will be
heard through the speakers and headsets. Pressing the PTT button for the VHF radio that
received the call will reset the channel decoder and EICAS advisory.
For SELCAL operation, the crew will normally tune one of the VHF or HF radios to a

The decoder then sends a signal to the EICAS and Audio Integrating System. A green
SELCAL VHF/HF advisory message will be displayed on the EICAS status page and a
“SELCAL” oral message will be heard through the speakers and headsets. Pressing the

S Cargo door
The passenger door and the galley service door can be operated from inside or outside of
the aircraft and can also be used for emergency evacuation. The flight compartment escape
hatch and the overwing emergency exits can also be operated from inside or outside of the
aircraft. The cargo door, aft equipment compartment door and the avionics compartment
door can only be operated from outside the aircraft. All doors, except the aft equipment
compartment door and the cockpit overhead escape hatch are monitored by the proximity
sensing electronic unit (PSEU).
The PSEU provides door status information for display on the EICAS.
The doors aural and visual indication system is triggered by signals received from position
sensors and switches. Inputs from the position sensors and switches are processed by the
proximity sensing electronic unit (PSEU) and transmitted to the EICAS. Door warning and
caution messages are displayed on the EICAS primary page and door status is displayed on
the DOORS synoptic page.

1. INTRODUCTION
The aircraft uses both 115 Volts AC and 28 volts DC power. AC electrical power is provided
by two engine-driven generation systems. Each system includes an integrated drive
generator (IDG) and a generator control unit (GCU). An auxiliary power unit (APU)
generator is also available as a back AC power source to replace either or both IDGs.
In the event of total AC power loss, emergency AC power is available from an in-flight
air-driven generator (ADG). The ADG assembly is stowed in a compartment on the right
side of the nose section.
DC power is supplied by five transformer rectifier units (TRU) which rectifies AC input power
into DC output power. Another source of DC power is from a main battery and APU battery.
The main and APU batteries are connected into the aircraft DC electrical power system and
are charged by their respective battery chargers. Power for starting the APU is provided by
the APU battery.
Electrical contactors, switches and relays located throughout 13 junction boxes in the
aircraft, are used for connecting AC and DC power to the appropriate buses and
components. Power connection is dependent on system configuration and health. The
following is a list of all the aircraft electrical system buses:

On the ground, the aircraft can receive external AC power through a receptacle located on
the forward right side of the fuselage. The aircraft can also receive external DC through a
receptacle located on the aft right side of the fuselage.
The electrical power services panel (EPSP) in the flight compartment, and the external
service panel on the right forward fuselage, contain the AC and DC system control switches.
The switches are used for manual and automatic control of the electrical power generating
system and external power operation.
Electrical system warnings and cautions are displayed on the EICAS primary page. Status
and advisory messages are displayed on the EICAS status page. General views of the
electrical systems are displayed on the EICAS, AC and DC synoptic pages. The AC and DC
synoptic pages are accessed through the EICAS control panel (ECP). One push of the
ELEC key on the ECP will display the AC synoptic page. Pushing the ELEC key a second
time will display the DC synoptic page.

1. AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AC power for the aircraft electrical systems is provided by two engine-driven, integrated
drive generators (IDGs) which supply power to all AC buses during normal operations. An
APU generator provides a backup AC power source in flight if an IDG is inoperative or when
the aircraft is on the ground with the engines off. If all AC power is lost in flight, emergency
AC power is provided automatically by a deployable air-driven generator (ADG). The AC
distribution system is controlled by the respective IDG and APU generator control units
(GCUs). Each generator is monitored by the GCU’s for voltage, frequency and kilovolt amps
(KVA) to provide system fault protective shutdowns. An AC power distribution schematic
and system parameters are displayed on the EICAS AC synoptic page.
Each IDG consists of a constant speed drive (CSD) and a generator. The CSD uses an
internal oil system to hydro--mechanically change the variable input speed from the
engine accessory gearbox to a constant output speed to the generator to produce
115--volts AC and to maintain a constant frequency of 400 Hz. Each generator is rated
at 30 kilovoltamperes (KVA) up to an altitude of 35,000 ft., then 25 KVA to 41,000 ft.
An oil cooler cools the oil used by the IDG. Each IDG is monitored for low oil pressure
or high oil temperature. In the event of low oil pressure or high oil temperature, an
(amber) FAULT light (cover--guarded) on the EPSP will illuminate. Lifting the
cover--guard and pushing the switchlight will manually disconnect the IDG from the
engine gearbox.
Each generator control unit (GCU) controls and monitors the related AC generator
system and provides voltage and frequency regulation and fault protection for its
respective generator. The GCU also protects the electrical system from overcurrent
and differential current faults. In the event of a malfunction, the GCU will automatically
disconnect the faulty generator from the respective AC buses. The generator may be
reset when the malfunction is corrected or no longer exists, by selecting the generator
switch to the OFF/RESET position then back to ON.
B. APU Generator
The APU generator is driven, directly by the APU gearbox, at a constant speed to
maintain a constant frequency output. The generator provides 115--volts, 400 Hz AC
power and is rated at 30 KVA from sea level to 37,000 ft. A GCU, identical to the IDG
GCU, provides the same regulation and protection functions as the IDG GCUs.
C. AC Distribution
In Full configuration, all the AC buses are powered using either IDG 1, IDG 2, the APU
generator or external AC. For normal AC distribution, AC power from IDG 1 and IDG 2
is distributed to all the AC buses via GCU controlled contactors in junction box 1 (JB1).
There is a priority control of AC power distribution. During normal operation, IDG 1
powers AC bus 1 and IDG 2 powers AC bus 2. The failure of a generator, for any
reason other than a fault on its associated bus, will automatically transfer the load from
the failed IDG to the remaining operative IDG. When the APU generator is available, it
can then be used to replace the failed IDG to power the respective AC bus. On the
ground, if the aircraft is being powered with external AC power and either the APU or
an IDG is brought on line, the external power will be automatically disconnected and the
respective APU or IDG generator will power all the AC buses. When external power is
not available, the APU generator provides electrical power to all the AC buses. If an
IDG is powering its respective AC bus and the APU generator is powering the other AC
bus, when the remaining IDG is brought on line the APU generator will be automatically
taken off line.

The AC service bus supplies power to those circuits necessary for ground--servicing
operations, without having to power the entire electrical system.
The AC utility buses are normally powered (in full configuration) by their respective AC
bus. In flight, the AC utility buses are automatically SHED if only one generator is
operational. In service configuration, the AC utility buses are powered from either the
APU generator or from external AC power.
D. AC Loads Distribution
In the event of a complete AC power failure in flight, the ADG will automatically deploy
and supply 115--volts, 400 Hz AC emergency power to the ADG bus. The ADG
generator is rated at 15 KVA. The ADG bus will then supply emergency power to the
AC essential bus and the 3B hydraulic pump. The AC essential bus will then power
essential TRU 1, which will power the DC essential bus.
If the automatic deploy function fails, the ADG can be deployed manually by pulling the
ADG manual release handle on the ADG CONTROL control panel at the rear of the
center console.
If either main generator is restored, the crew can override the ADG by pressing the
PWR TXFR OVERRIDE button on the ADG control panel. This will reconnect the
restored IDG to power AC bus 1, AC bus 2 and the AC essential bus. The ADG will
continue to power the critical flight controls and the ADG bus. The flaps will move at
half speed when powered from the ADG bus.
The ADG generator, voltage, frequency and ADG bus indications on the EICAS, AC
ELECTRICAL synoptic page are only displayed when the ADG bus is powered.
The ADG will continue to operate and supply power to the ADG bus until the airspeed
decreases below approximately100 kts. At that point, if the APU generator or IDG has
not been restored, the only power available will be from the batteries.
NOTE
Automatic deployment of the ADG is inhibited, on the ground, when the parking brake
is set.
The ADG system circuits can be checked through a LAMP/UNIT test switch on the ADG
control panel. When the switch is set to LAMP, a ground is supplied to check that the
green TEST light illuminates. The UNIT test has two modes, Pre--takeoff and Inflight:
S Pre--takeoff,
When the test switch is set to UNIT the ADG system circuits are checked and the
TEST light will illuminate within 1 second and remain ON for 2 seconds.
S Inflight,
When the test switch is set to UNIT the ADG system circuits are checked and the
TEST light will illuminate after 5 seconds and remain ON for 2 seconds.
1. DC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Five transformer rectifier units (TRU’s) and two batteries (Main and APU) provide the aircraft
with DC electrical power. DC power is also available through an external DC receptacle on
the right aft fuselage.
There are five TRU’s located in the nose avionics compartment. Each TRU converts
115 VAC input power to 28 VDC output power for powering the aircraft DC buses. The
TRU’s are rated at 100 amps. Normal distribution of the TRU outputs is shown in the
following table:

AC Bus 1 TRU 1
DC Utility Bus 1
DC Bus 2 and

DC Essential Bus and
Essential TRU 2
Battery Bus
The main and APU nickel-cadmium batteries and their battery chargers are located in
the aft equipment compartment. The batteries provide DC power to their respective DC
battery direct buses.
The 17 AMP./HR, 24, volt main battery provides backup power to the attitude heading
reference system (AHRS), proximity sensing electronic unit (PSEU), data concentrator
units (DCU’s), aircraft clocks, and the APU electronic control unit (ECU). The main
battery also provides power to the flight compartment lighting system.
The 17 AMP./HR, 24 volt, main battery provides backup power to the inertial reference
system (IRS), proximity sensing electronic unit (PSEU), data concentrator units
(DCU’s), aircraft clocks, and the APU electronic control unit (ECU). The main battery
also provides power to the flight compartment lighting system. <0025>
The 43 AMP./HR, 24 volt, APU battery provides the cranking power for starting the
APU.
Battery chargers maintain the batteries at full charge. The main battery charger is
powered from AC Utility bus 1 and the APU battery charger is powered from the AC
Utility bus 2. Battery charging is controlled automatically. Each charger monitors the
battery voltage and temperature to control the battery charge rate. If a battery reaches
the overtemperature set point (as sensed by the charger), the charging will stop to
prevent overheating (thermal runaway).

C. External DC Power
The aircraft can be connected to 28 volts DC from an external receptacle located on the
right aft fuselage below No. 2 engine. External DC is used for ground operations to
save battery power and can be used to start the APU. When external DC is connected
to the aircraft, an external DC contactor is energized to provide power to the APU start
contactor. At the same time, the AVAIL lamp in the DC switchlight illuminates. Pressing
the switchlight closes two contactors to connect the external DC to the Main and APU
battery direct buses and the IN USE lamp in the switchlight illuminates.
D. DC Distribution
DC power is distributed to the DC system by five TRU’s. DC bus 1 and DC Utility bus 1
are powered from TRU 1. DC bus 2 and DC Utility bus 2 are powered from TRU 2.
The DC essential bus and battery buses are normally powered from the essential
TRUs. The emergency bus is powered from the battery bus and the APU battery direct
bus. The service TRU powers the DC service bus. In the event that an essential TRU
fails, the DC essential bus and battery bus will remain powered from the operating
essential TRU. If both essential TRU’s fail, the essential DC bus and battery bus may
still be powered from the service TRU by selecting the ESS TIE switchlight on the
electrical panel. In the event that a main TRU fails, the respective DC tie will close to
maintain power to the respective DC bus 1/2 from the service TRU. At the same time
the corresponding utility bus will be SHED.
The Main battery direct bus, APU battery direct bus, and the emergency bus are all hot
buses (they are continuously powered at all times from the batteries). When the
BATTERY MASTER switch is selected ON, an input signal is supplied to the two power
controllers (PC). The power controllers monitor for AC power, and if AC power is not
available then the controllers will connect their respective batteries to the battery bus.
When AC power is available, for the TRU’s to power the DC system, the power
controllers will disconnect the batteries from the battery bus. Each battery direct bus
can power the DC battery bus. Both the battery bus and the APU battery direct bus
power the DC emergency bus. The DC service bus is normally powered from the
service TRU. If the DC SERVICE switch on the electrical panel is selected ON, the DC
service bus will be powered from the APU battery direct bus.
NOTE
In flight, if the power controllers sense a complete loss of AC power, they will reconnect
the batteries to the battery bus and at the same time the DC emergency ties will close
to connect the battery bus to the DC essential bus. Once the ADG bus is online to
power essential TRU 1 and the DC essential bus, the batteries will act as a backup
power source to the DC essential bus.

There are six circuit breaker panels (CBP’s) located in the aircraft. Four CBP’s (numbered 1
to 4) are located in the flight compartment. One CBP is located in the aft equipment
compartment (number 5) and one CBP is located on the galley control panel.
The circuit breakers are clearly identified. For circuit breaker referencing, each circuit
breaker panel is laid out in an alphanumeric grid with letters running down the side of the
panel and numbers running across each row. For example, the location of a circuit breaker
on circuit breaker panel 1, in the 3rd row, column 2, would be identified as CBP1--C2. In this
instance, C2 is the circuit breaker for the AC ESS FEED.

1. INTRODUCTION
The environmental control system (ECS) provides temperature and pressure regulated air
for heating, ventilating and pressurizing the flight and passenger compartments. Exhaust
air, from the compartments, is used to ventilate the avionics and cargo compartments,
before being dumped overboard through two outflow valves.
For ground operations, pneumatic air to operate the ECS can be obtained from:
During flight, the engines normally supply bleed air for operating the air-conditioning,
pressurization, and avionics cooling systems.
ECS warnings and cautions are displayed on the engine indication and crew alerting system
(EICAS) primary page. ECS advisory and status messages are displayed on the EICAS
status page. Views of the aircraft ECS temperature, pressure, valve positions and system
status indications are displayed on the EICAS ECS synoptic page.

1. AIR--CONDITIONING SYSTEM
There are two air-conditioning systems, which can be operated separately or in parallel, to
supply conditioned air to the flight and passenger compartments. Each system consists of
an air-conditioning unit or package (PACK), a temperature controller and ducting. Ram air is
provided for pack cooling and ventilation. The temperature controllers also control the
engine 10th stage bleed air supply to the system (see Chapter 19).
A. Packs
The packs are located in the aft equipment compartment. They provide cooling of the
engine or APU bleed air supplies for distribution to the flight and passenger
compartments. 10th stage bleed air to each pack is regulated to a constant 30 psi by
respective pressure regulator and shutoff valves (PRSOV). For single pack operation,
the PRSOV will regulate the pressure to 41 psi. Each pack consists of an air cycle
machine and heat exchanger which are used to decrease the temperature and water
content of the bleed air used in the conditioning process. Normally, the right pack
supplies the passenger compartment and the left pack supplies the flight compartment.
If a pack fails, the remaining pack can supply conditioned air to both compartments.

B. Temperature Control
The flight compartment and the passenger compartments have identical but
independently-operated temperature control systems. Each controller subsystem is
dedicated to an air-conditioning pack. Temperature control, in automatic mode, is
provided by CKPT and CABIN selector knobs on the air conditioning panel. Control in
manual mode is provided by left and right pack MAN switchlights and HOT/COLD
switches on the same panel. The individual packs can be manually turned OFF by
selecting the respective L or R PACK switchlight on the air conditioning panel.
NOTE
The cooling air for the left and right heat exchangers is supplied from a ram air intake,
located on the upper aft fuselage. During normal operation, the ram air is exhausted
through an exhaust duct in the lower aft fuselage, after passing over the heat
exchangers. The ram air intake duct also provides cooling air to the hydraulic systems
heat exchanger to cool the hydraulic fluid. (Refer to Chapter 14).
Ram air ventilation is used only when the air conditioning packs fail (unpressurized).
Operating the (guarded) RAM AIR, switchlight on the air--conditioning panel, opens the
normally closed ram air valve. Ram air then enters the left (flight compartment) supply
system. Ram air also flows through the distribution manifold to the passenger
compartment.
Conditioned air, from the left and right air-conditioning packs, is routed through
separate ducting systems through a distribution manifold to the flight compartment and
the passenger compartments.
Conditioned air, to the passenger compartment, is distributed from ducts along each
side of the aircraft. Passenger compartment exhaust air is routed underfloor to the
outflow valves on the aft pressure bulkhead.
Conditioned air, to the flight compartment, is distributed to the side console panels,
gaspers and vents, and avionics units within the instrument panel. Dedicated fans and
ducts direct conditioned air over the flight compartment display units. Flight
compartment exhaust air is routed underfloor through the avionics compartment to the
outflow valve at the aft pressure bulkhead.
An external ground air connector, located on the right aft fuselage, is provided for
ground air-conditioning. Low pressure compressed air from a ground air conditioning
cart can be supplied directly into flight and passenger compartment distribution
systems.
The electronic flight instruments in the flight compartment instrument panel, control panels
and display units in the center pedestal, and electronic units in the left and right portions of
the underfloor avionics bay are cooled during on-ground and flight operations.
The cockpit displays are cooled with air from two display fans located under the flight
compartment floor. Fan control is provided by a DSPLY FAN selector knob on the avionics
cooling panel. Normally, only one fan operates at a time (controlled by WOW). In flight, only
fan 1 is powered and on the ground, only fan 2 is powered. When powered, the respective
fan draws in recirculated air from the flight compartment and mixes it with conditioned air
then supplies the air to the backs of each display. In the event of a fan failure, the alternate
fan can be powered by selecting the FLT ALTN or GND ALTN position. If both fans fail,
selecting STDBY permits conditioned air to ventilate the displays. A low flow sensor
monitors the air flow to ensure adequate cooling. Check valves prevent loss of cooling air or
reverse flow.
Two ARINC cooling fans are installed under the flight compartment floor. The fans are used
to provide recirculated cabin air to the left and right avionics equipment racks. Fan control is
provided by an ARINC FAN selector knob on the avionics cooling panel. In the NORM
position, only one fan operates at a time (controlled by WOW). In flight, only fan 1 is
powered and on the ground, only fan 2 is powered. In the event of a fan failure, the
alternate fan can be powered by selecting the FLT ALTN or GND ALTN position.
The avionics exhaust system consists of an exhaust fan, an inboard exhaust valve and an
outboard exhaust valve. The exhaust fan is installed in the avionics compartment and
operates whenever AC BUS 1 is powered. The fan is used to remove warm air from the
CRT displays, pedestal panels and the left and right avionics equipment racks, then direct it
to the exhaust valves. When either the passenger door or service door is open, the inboard
valve is closed and the outboard valve is open to exhaust the air to the wing root area.
When the passenger and service doors are closed, the outboard valve is closed and the
inboard valve is open to exhaust the air to the rear lower fuselage where it is dumped
overboard through the outflow valves.

The galley is heated with two 500 watt heaters to provide supplementary heat to the galley and
service door area. One heater uses the air from the right exhaust riser duct and the second
heater warms conditioned air from the right gasper supply duct. The heaters are controlled by
switchlights on the Flight Attendants panel. There is no EICAS display for the galley heating
system.
Each heater incorporates an internal overtemperature switch that removes power to the heater
when the heater outlet temperature becomes excessive. The heater also incorporates an
internal, overheat protection switch which disables the heater when the internal temperature
exceeds a preset limit. Heater #1 has a fan which can be used in conjunction with or separate
from the heaters.

1. PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM
The aircraft is pressurized by bleed air supplied by the air-conditioning system. Cabin
pressure is normally controlled by regulating cabin air overboard through two outflow valves
located on the rear pressure bulkhead. The outflow valves are automatically controlled by
either of two independent cabin pressure controllers. The pressurization is almost totally
automatic, the crew only has to set the landing field elevation, on the CABIN PRESS control
panel, to program the system for flight. If the normal automatic mode fails, the outflow
valves can be controlled manually by controls on the CABIN PRESS control panel. Both
valves also operate as safety valves to provide overpressure and negative pressure relief. If
cabin altitude exceeds 14,000 feet, a signal is sent to the passenger oxygen system to
deploy the oxygen masks. A cabin pressure acquisition module (CPAM) is used in the
system to supply signals to the EICAS.

2. OUTFLOW VALVES
The dual, redundant, electro--pneumatic outflow valves are installed on the rear pressure
bulkhead, below floor level, and are designated as the primary and secondary valves. Both
valves are slaved together through a pneumatic line and are electrically controlled. The
valves will respond to either electrical signals in automatic mode, or to pneumatic input
signals from the manual regulators on the CABIN PRESS control panel.
The aircraft is equipped with dual, redundant pressure controllers, which operate only in
automatic mode. All controller outputs are sent to the outflow valves. While one controller is
in use, the other updates automatically. The active cabin pressure controller commands the
outflow valve to a nominal differential pressure of 8.33 psid. Inputs to the pressure
controllers are received from air data computer (ADC 1) normally. ADC 2 is the backup to
ADC 1. If a controller fails, the system will automatically switch over to the other controller.
If automatic switch--over fails, select the PRESS CONTROL switch twice. This will enable
the redundant controller. If both pressure controllers fail, both outflow valves will go to an
isobaric hold mode.When the airplane is on the ground for 3 minutes, automatic pressure
controller switch--over will occur.
The pressurization system automatically maintains cabin pressure through all phases of
flight. Typical values used in the cabin/flight altitude schedule during manual mode are as
follows:
S Ground mode,
Both outflow valves are driven full open.
S Pre-Pressure mode,
When thrust levers are advanced to take-off, the cabin is pressurized to --150 feet at
approximately 300 ft/min.
S Climb mode,
Cabin climb is in accordance with a fixed schedule, cabin altitude vs aircraft altitude
at a rate of approximately 500 ft/min. The controller compares selected landing
elevation to the climb schedule, then selects the highest pressure schedule.
S The cabin descent schedule occurs when the aircraft altitude is maintained at
0±200 feet for 10 minutes. The system pre--sets a decent rate of approximately
300 ft/min.
S The cabin full descent schedule occurs when the aircraft is in descent. Cabin
altitude decreases at approximately 300 ft/min, to either landing elevation, or
maximum differential, whichever is highest. When the landing elevation exceeds
8,000 feet, cabin altitude will be maintained at maximum differential, until the aircraft
descends, then the cabin altitude will rate up to the pre-selected landing elevation.
S Landing mode,
The cabin altitude is driven below field elevation or the aircraft is unpressurized.
When the cabin is below field elevation, then the cabin is rated up at approximately
500 ft/min for 60 seconds, then the outflow valve is driven full open.
S UP selection,
Cabin ascends at selected rate of 50 fpm to 3,000 ±1000 fpm. When the desired
cabin altitude is reached, select MAN ALT to mid position.
S DN selection,
Cabin descends at selected rate of 50 fpm to 3,000 ±1000 fpm. When the desired
cabin altitude is reached, select MAN ALT to mid position.
S Mid selection,
Disables all previous MAN ALT selections.
Manual mode rate controls are provided to manually regulate the rate of change to
cabin altitude:
Each outflow valve has positive and negative pressure relief. The pressure controllers
normally control the cabin--to--outside pressure to 8.33 psid. The valves are preset to
open at a maximum positive differential pressure of 8.6 ±0.1 psid and at a negative
differential pressure of −0.5 psid.
Altitude limit controllers within each outflow valve, operate to prevent the cabin altitude
from increasing above 14,250 ±750 feet.
E. Emergency Depressurization
Electrical signals from the EMER DEPRESS switch commands both outflow valves to
open. If the aircraft is at a cruise altitude (above 15,000 feet), the altitude limiters
operate to prevent cabin altitude from exceeding 14,250 ±750 feet.
The system uses measurements from the two cabin pressure controllers and the cabin
pressure acquisition module (CPAM) to control and monitor the system. The CPAM
supplies signals to the EICAS to display the following information:
S CPAM failure -- If a CPAM fails, the redundant controller will assume the function of
the failed CPAM (indications only)
S If the PASS SIGNS switches are selected to AUTO, the CPAM will cause the NO
SMKG and SEAT BLTS signs to come on when the cabin altitude reaches 10,000
feet
S The CPAM will automatically trigger the passenger oxygen auto deploy system
when the cabin altitude reaches 14,000 feet.
A “CABIN PRESSURE” voice alert is also provided during the following EICAS
warnings:

The crew oxygen bottle is a high pressure Kevlar cylinder and is located in the forward
fuselage underfloor area. The bottle assembly consists of a manual shut-off valve,
pressure gauge, and a pressure relief valve. The bottle contains 50.0 cubic feet (1.415
cubic meters) of oxygen pressured to 1850 psi at 70_F (12.76 MPa at 21_C). If the
internal bottle pressure exceeds 2800 psi (193 bars), the pressure relief valve opens
and the bottle pressure is vented overboard through a high pressure discharge line.
When the contents of the oxygen bottle is vented overboard, a green snap frangible
disc ( located on the right forward fuselage) blows out, presenting a visual indication
that the oxygen bottle contents have been vented.
The pressure sensor/regulator unit controls the flow of oxygen from the bottle to the
masks. The unit is connected to the oxygen cylinder, crew masks and the ground
servicing panel and consists of a pressure sensor, pressure regulator and pressure
relief valve.
The pressure regulator receives oxygen pressure from the bottle at 1850 psi (12.76
MPa) and decreases the outlet pressure flow to the crew masks to 78 psi (538 kPa).
The pressure sensor monitors the supply pressure from the cylinder and supplies
pressure indications to the servicing panel and EICAS. If the supply pressure from the
bottle decreases below1410 psig (9.721 MPa), the sensor will send a signal to the
EICAS to display an OXY LO PRESS caution message on the primary page.
If the regulator outlet pressure exceeds 109 psi (752 kPa), the relief valve opens to vent
the excess pressure. The valve will reset when the pressure decreases.
The crew oxygen masks are located in stowage boxes. One for the pilot, one for the
copilot and one for the 3rd flight crew position. The crew mask includes an oxygen
regulator, a pneumatically controlled inflatable harness, a flow-control knob, a
mixture-control lever and a microphone. To release the mask from the stowage box,
the operator squeezes the red release levers and holds them. This action opens the
quick-release doors, frees the mask and inflates the harness. The operator then dons
the mask. The red levers are then released, which deflates the harness, causing the
mask to install correctly on the operator’s head. The smoke goggles are separate from
the mask and are stowed in a pouch in the bottom of each stowage box. The smoke
goggles can be donned over the mask and eye glasses and are used by crew members
when smoke or toxic fumes are present in the cockpit. With the mask in the positive
pressure mode, the user activates the purge valve, located on the top of the mask face
piece to pressurize the goggles. This prevents smoke or fumes from entering the
goggles and irritating the eyes.
The crew oxygen masks are located in stowage boxes. One for the pilot, one for the
copilot and one for the 3rd flight crew position. The crew mask is a full face mask and
includes an oxygen regulator, a pneumatically controlled inflatable harness, a
flow-control knob, a mixture-control lever and a microphone. To release the mask from
the stowage box, the operator squeezes the red release levers and holds them. This
action opens the quick-release doors, frees the mask and inflates the harness. The
operator then dons the mask. The red levers are then released, which deflates the
harness, causing the mask to install correctly on the operator’s head. <0033>
Oxygen is supplied to the mask regulator at 78 psig (538 kPa). The regulator control
(N/100% positions) allows the user to select a mixture of oxygen and ambient air or
pure oxygen.
When the regulator control is set to the N position, a mixture of ambient air and
pressurized oxygen is supplied to the mask on demand.
With the control set to the 100% position, pure oxygen is supplied to the mask on
demand.
The flow control knob is used to adjust the oxygen flow. If the knob is turned clockwise
to the EMERGENCY position, the mask is supplied a constant flow of 100% oxygen at
a positive pressure. To test the oxygen flow, press the flow control knob, which
momentarily supplies oxygen to the mask.
When cabin altitude is more than 30,000 feet (9,144 meters), the mask supplies pure
oxygen regardless of the N/100% switch position.
To remove the mask, the red release levers on the mask are squeezed, which inflates
the harness to allow the mask to be removed from the operators head.

NOTE
The passenger oxygen system provides chemically generated oxygen for all cabin
occupants in the event of cabin depressurization.
The oxygen generators and oxygen masks are installed as part of the passenger
service unit panel and are available at all passenger seats, in the lavatory and at the
flight attendant station.
All oxygen compartment doors will open to present the oxygen masks automatically if
the cabin altitude reaches approximately 14,000 feet.
If the automatic system fails to open the doors, or if it is necessary to override the
automatic system, the flight crew can operate the (guarded) PASS OXY switchlight on
the overhead panel to open the oxygen doors in the passenger service units. As a
back-up to electrically opening the doors, each individual oxygen compartment door
can be opened manually through a release hole in the door.
When the oxygen compartment doors are open, the passengers will pull the oxygen
mask to their face, which pulls a lanyard connected to the firing pin of the chemical
oxygen generator. This initiates the flow of oxygen to the passenger’s oxygen mask. A
flow indicator in the supply tube will show green when oxygen is flowing. The reservoir
bags on the passenger oxygen masks begins to fill with oxygen. The chemical oxygen
generator supplies approximately 13 minutes of oxygen to each mask.

A. Engine
Each engine detection system is divided into two zones (A and B):
S Zone A covers the core section of the engine and is provided with fire detection and
extinguishing
S Zone B covers the exhaust pipe and pylon area which contains the 10th and 14th
stage bleed air ducting. No fire extinguishing protection is provided for this zone.
Engine fire detection is provided by dual heat sensitive detection loops (designated
loop A and B) arranged in parallel around the engine, exhaust pipe and pylon areas.
Each loop is connected to the control unit and is monitored continuously for fire or
overheat conditions. In normal operation, both detection loops must detect a fire or
overheat condition before a fire warning is generated.
Control unit loop detection is controlled through LH/RH, ENG and JET switches on the
FIRE DETECTION panel. The switch is used to select A, BOTH or B loop detection.
If one loop detects a fire, when both loops are selected, this is considered a False Fire
and a L/R FIRE FAIL caution message will be displayed on the EICAS primary page.
During normal operations with both loops selected, the tables in this section lists the
indications that are displayed if a fire, failure, or power loss is detected:

When the control unit detects a failure in one loop, due to a short or power loss, there is
no indication of the failure until the WARN test is performed. The control unit will
automatically switch to single loop detection. Single loop operation can also be
selected by placing the defective loop switch on the FIRE DETECTION panel from
BOTH to the good loop (A or B). During normal operations with one loop selected, the
following table lists the indications that are displayed if a fire, failure, or power loss is
detected:
C. Testing
The control unit provides a means of testing the detection system by selectively
simulating fire/overheat and fail conditions on the selected loops (A or B). The following
table lists the possible loop conditions when the WARN test is performed:
The following table lists the possible loop conditions when the fail test is performed:
The engine fire extinguishing system provides a means to extinguish fires in the left and
right engines. The system consists of two FIREX bottles, located in the aft equipment
compartment, a low pressure switch, a bottle pressure gauge and discharge lines. The
bottles contain Halon and are pressurized to 600 psi. Each bottle has two firing
cartridges (squibs) to permit discharge of the fire extinguishing agent into either engine
nacelle. The pressure switches are connected to the FIDEEX, and if the bottle
pressure decrease to a preset point, an ENG BTL 1 (2) LO caution message will be
displayed on the EICAS primary page.
D. APU
The APU fire detection system is used to detect a fire or overheat condition in the APU
enclosure. The detection system consists of dual heat sensitive detection loops
arranged in parallel around the inside of the APU enclosure. Each loop is connected to
the control unit and is monitored continuously for fire or overheat conditions. In normal
operation, both detection loops must detect a fire or overheat condition before a fire
warning alarm is issued. If a short or open circuit fault is detected in one loop, the
control unit will automatically switch to single loop detection and the EICAS will display
an APU FIRE FAIL caution message on the primary page.
S Ground Mode -- When a fire is detected, the control unit closes the fuel and bleed
air shutoff valves and the APU shuts down. Five seconds later the fire bottle
automatically discharges and the external horn sounds.
S Flight Mode -- When a fire is detected, the control unit closes the fuel and bleed air
shutoff valves and the APU shuts down, but the fire bottle must be discharged

E. Cargo Compartment
The cargo smoke detection system consists of two optical type smoke detectors
(NORMAL and STANDBY) located in the ceiling of the cargo compartment. Both
smoke detectors are protected from damage by a steel cage. Each detector is capable
of producing an alarm signal within an established time frame and smoke concentration
level. The detectors are positioned to avoid false alarms with overlapping coverage to
guard against the failure of one detector. When smoke is detected by one or both

NOTE
Fire extinguishing for the cargo compartment is provided by two FIREX bottles, a high
rate discharge bottle and a low rate discharge bottle. Both bottles are located in the aft
equipment compartment, and are pressurized with extinguishing agent (Halon). Each
bottle has a firing cartridge with two squibs, used to discharge the Halon into the cargo
compartment. Each bottle has a low pressure switch and a pressure gauge. When
either BOTTLE ARMED PUSH TO DISCHARGE DISCH switchlight is pushed, both
bottles will discharge simultaneously. The high rate discharge bottle is designed to
quickly deliver extinguishing agent into the cargo compartment for initial fire
suppression. The low rate discharge bottle discharges slowly, maintaining a flow of
extinguishing agent into the cargo compartment (over a 30 minute period) to prevent
re-ignition and allow for aircraft diversion. If either bottle pressure decrease to a preset
point, the pressure switch opens, and a CARGO BTL LO caution message will be
displayed on the EICAS primary page.

The system consists of a disposable Halon fire extinguisher bottle with dual discharge
nozzles. The bottle is mounted near the waste container with the nozzles extending
into the waste container. The end of each discharge nozzle is sealed with a heat
sensitive capsule which, when subjected to heat, melts to release the extinguishing
agent into the waste container. A temperature indicating strip sensor is located on the
inside of the waste compartment door. The sensor is used to provide an indication that
high temperature has been sensed in the compartment and that the bottle may have
discharged.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER
The main landing gear overheat detection system provides indication of an overheat
condition in the main landing gear wheel well bins. An overheat contion can be caused by
overheated brakes or brake fires. The system consists of two overheat detection sensor
loops and an overheat detection unit.
The sensor loops are installed around the top inner surface of each main wheel well bin and
are connected to the detection unit which is installed in the forward avionics compartment.
The overheat detection unit continuously monitors the loops for overtemperature conditions
and system faults (short circuits). If an overheat condition is detected by the unit, in either
wheel well bin, a signal is sent to the EICAS to display a MLG BAY OVHT warning message
on the primary page. If a system fault is detected by the unit, a signal is sent to the EICAS
to display a MLG OVHT FAIL caution message on the primary page.
The warning of an overheat condition, alerts the pilot to immediately lower the landing gear
to reduce the landing gear temperature. The warning message will persist until the
temperature in the wheel well bin returns to normal limits.
The main landing gear overheat detection system may be tested, from the landing gear
control panel, by simulating an overheat condition or a system fault condition. The EICAS
will display the applicable warning or caution message during the test.

1. INTRODUCTION
Flight controls are operated conventionally with control wheels, control columns and rudder
pedals for the pilot and copilot. The control surfaces are actuated either hydraulically or
electrically. The flight control systems include major control surfaces, components and
subsystems that control the attitude of the aircraft during flight. The flight controls are
divided into primary and secondary flight controls.
S Multifunctional spoilers.

The primary flight controls are controlled by a network of cables, pulleys, push/pull rods and
levers that transmit control and pedal inputs to hydraulic power control units. Each aileron
and spoileron is powered by two hydraulic systems. The rudder and elevators are power
from all three hydraulic systems.
The aileron and elevator controls are equipped with control disconnects which permit the
pilot or the copilot to maintain sufficient lateral and longitudinal control in the event of a
control jam. The rudder control is equipped with two anti-jam mechanisms that permit both
pilots to maintain sufficient directional control, however, additional force is required to obtain
surface travel.
In the event of a total electrical power failure, the primary flight controls will remain powered
from AC motor pump (ACMP) 3B which will be powered by the ADG in an emergency.
The flight spoilers provides the aircraft with lift dumping and speed control as commanded
from the spoiler control lever in the flight compartment.
The ground spoilers only deploy on the ground as part of the ground lift dumping function to
slow the aircraft during landing. The spoilerons and flight spoilers also deploy on the ground
to assist in the ground lift dumping function.
Flight control status and surface positions are displayed on the EICAS primary page, status
page and FLT CONTROL synoptic page.
A stall protection system is provided to warn the flight crew of an impending stall when the
aircraft attitude approaches a high angle--of--attack (AOA) and to prevent a stall penetration
when the aircraft nears the computed stall angle.

1. AILERONS
Lateral control of the aircraft is provided by the ailerons with assist from the spoilerons.
The aileron control systems consist of two control circuits and both systems are similar in
operation. The pilot operates the left aileron system and the copilot operates the right
aileron system. Normally, the two systems are interconnected and there is simultaneous
movement of both aileron surfaces. In the event of a jam in either circuit, the system can be
separated through a roll disconnect mechanism. The autopilot is connected to the copilots
control system only.
Each aileron is hydraulically powered by two power control units (PCUs) and mechanically
controlled by rotation of either control wheel. The left aileron PCUs are powered by
hydraulic systems 1 and 3 and the right aileron PCUs are powered by hydraulic systems 2
and 3. Control wheel movement also signals the spoiler electronic control unit (SECU) to
input the spoileron actuators (on the down--going wing) for roll assist.
Control wheel centering and artificial feel is provided by mechanical feel units. A flutter
damper is attached to each aileron to prevent surface flutter in the event of hydraulic fluid
loss at the PCUs during flight. On the ground, the flutter dampers provide gust lock function.
In the event of an aileron control jam, the left and right systems can be mechanically
separated by pulling a roll disconnect handle. The roll disconnect allows limited lateral
control using the unaffected aileron control system and the opposite side spoileron. Twenty
seconds after pulling the roll disconnect handle, the ROLL SEL (amber) switchlights on the
left and right glareshield illuminate and a SPOILERON ROLL caution message is displayed
on the EICAS primary page. The flight crew then selects the roll priority by pressing the
ROLL SEL switchlight on the operable side which allows use of both spoilerons. The ROLL
SEL light and PLT/CPLT ROLL light will then turn green and the caution message will be
replaced by a PLT/CPLT ROLL CMD advisory message on the EICAS status page.

A. Aileron Trim
Aileron trim is electrically operated and manually controlled using the trim selector on
the center pedestal. Operation of the aileron trim will input the aileron trim actuator to
reposition the aileron control cables which will cause deflection (rotation) of the control
wheels. Aileron trim is displayed on the EICAS Status page and FLT CONTROL
synoptic page.

1. RUDDER
Directional control about the yaw axis is provided by the rudder control system and assisted
by yaw dampers.
The rudder is hydraulically powered by three power control units (PCU’s) located in the
vertical stabilizer. The PCUs receive mechanical inputs from the rudder pedals via cable
runs and quadrants. Each hydraulic system powers one of the three PCU’s. Both sets of
pedals move simultaneously when operated from either the pilot or the copilot station. Two
yaw dampers (controlled by the flight control computers) are connected to the rudder control
system and are used to improve the aircraft lateral stability.
Rudder pedal centering and artificial feel is provided by a primary feel unit, located on the
copilots rudder pedal pivot assembly. A secondary feel unit, located in the aft fuselage,
ensures that the rudder remains centered in the event of a control disconnect.
In the event of a control jam, the pilots and copilot’s pedals will remain operable through
anti-jam mechanisms, however additional pedal force will be required to obtain rudder
deflection.
Two rudder load limiter assemblies, installed in the vertical stabilizer, give overload (stress)
protection to the rudder control system mechanical components. A rudder load limiter,
installed in the PCU input assembly, allows continued control input movement to the
remaining PCU’s if one PCU becomes jammed.

the rudder control cables to move the rudder. Hydraulic pressure from at least one of the
hydraulic system is required to move the rudder. Actuation of the rudder trim will not cause
rudder pedal deflection.

Two independent yaw damper systems operate continuously in flight to improve the aircraft
directional stability and turn coordination by damping out oscillations in yaw. The yaw
dampers are engaged by pushing the YD1 and YD2 switchlights on the YAW DAMPER
panel. Each yaw damper actuator automatically respond to inputs received from one flight
control computer (FCC). If a yaw damper failure occurs, it will be disconnected from the
FCC’s control. One yaw damper system must be engaged to engage the autopilot.

1. ELEVATORS
Two separate elevator control systems are provided. The left elevator system is controlled
by the pilot and the right system is controlled by the copilot. Under normal conditions, the
two systems are interconnected through a pitch disconnect mechanism. Forward and aft
movement of either control column inputs simultaneous movement of both elevator surfaces.
Both systems are similar, with the exceptions that the autopilot servo is connected to the left
elevator system and the stall protection stick pusher system is connected to the right
elevator system. A pitch feel simulator unit provides artificial feel to the control columns.
Each elevator system is hydraulically powered by three power control units (PCU’s) located
in the left and right horizontal stabilizers. The PCU’s receive mechanical inputs from the
control columns via cable runs and quadrants. Each hydraulic system powers one of the
three PCU’s of each elevator.
Two flutter dampers are installed outboard of the PCU’s on each elevator. The flutter
dampers are double acting shock absorbers which prevent elevator control surface flutter in
flight if all hydraulic pressure is lost to the PCU’s. On the ground, the flutter dampers provide
a gust lock function.
In the event of an elevator control jam, the left and right elevator systems can be
mechanically separated by pulling a PITCH DISC handle and turning it 90_ to lock the
handle in place. The operable side can then be used to maintain pitch control.
Elevator position indications are displayed on the EICAS FLT CONTROL synoptic page.

The horizontal stabilizer trim system supplements the elevators in providing pitch control.
The horizontal stabilizer trim system provides pitch trim by varying the angle of incidence of
the horizontal stabilizer. The horizontal stabilizer is positioned by a screw jack driven by two
electric motors controlled by the horizontal stabilizer trim control unit (HSTCU) through a
motor control unit (MCU). Each motor has a magnetic brake to prevent trim runaway. Trim
range is from +2_ (leading edge up) to --13_ (leading edge down).
The HSTCU has two channels that are engaged by selection of the STAB TRIM, CH1 and
CH2 engage switches on the center pedestal. The horizontal stabilizer is positioned, by
manual operation of the control wheel trim switches or automatically by the autopilot trim or
Mach trim systems. During AFCS operation, the trim rate is influenced by flap movement.
Trim disconnect switches are provided on each control wheel to disengage the stabilizer
trim.
The Mach trim system is selected by engaging the Mach TRIM switchlight on the center
pedestal. The Mach trim function of the HSTCU repositions the horizontal stabilizer to make
allowances for the rearward shift of the aerodynamic center of pressure as the airspeed
increases above Mach 0.4. At least one STAB channel must be engaged for the Mach trim
to function.
The HSTCU operates in one of four modes in the following order of priority:
S Manual trim -- Nose--up or nose--down trim commands (from the control wheel switches)
are sent to the HSTCU which moves the screw jack at a rate that is dependent on Mach
airspeed.
S Autopilot -- When the AP is engaged, the horizontal stabilizer is trimmed at two rates.
High rate (0.5_ per second) occurs when the flaps are extending and retracting and low
rate (0.1_ per second) occurs when the flap are stationary.
S AUTO trim -- Auto trim occurs when the flaps are moving between 0 -- 20_ in either
direction. In this condition the horizontal stabilizer is automatically trimmed to
compensate for aircraft pitching caused by flap configuration changes.
S Mach trim -- When the Mach trim is engaged, the horizontal stabilizer trim is adjusted (at a
rate of 0.03_ to 0.06_per second) to compensate for the aircraft tendency to pitch down
at increasing Mach numbers. The Mach TRIM function is disabled when the autopilot is
engaged.

1. FLAPS
The flap system provides lift augmentation during take-off and landing. The flap system
consists of externally hinged inboard and outboard flap panels mounted on the trailing edge
of each wing. Flap settings (to a maximum of 45 degrees) are selected from a single flap
control lever, located on the center pedestal. The flap system is controlled and monitored by
a flap electronic control unit (FECU). During extension, the flaps move slightly aft and down
around hinge pivots.
The flap system is driven by a dual motor power drive unit. The power drive unit drives the
flaps through a series of drive shafts, gearboxes and actuators. Brake and position sensor
units, mounted at the outboard ends of each drive system, provide braking for asymmetric
protection and provide surface position feedback to the FECU.
The flap selector has the following selectable flap detent positions:
The lever quadrant feature a gate at the 20 degree setting. The gate prevents inadvertent
flap selection to 0 degrees during a missed approach and precludes VFE (flaps 30) from
being exceeded. To move the lever through the gate, it must be pushed down (against a
spring) an then moved forward or aft.
The lever quadrant features two gates, one at the 8 degree setting and one at the 20 degree
setting. The gate at the 8 degree setting prevents inadvertent flap selection to 0 degrees
during a missed approach (go--around) and the gate at 20 degrees, precludes VFE (flaps 30)
from being exceeded. To move the lever through a gate, it must be pushed down (against a
spring) an then moved forward or aft. <0006>
When a flap selection is made, the FECU releases the system brakes and commands the
power drive unit to deploy or retract the flaps to the selected position.
NOTE
1. An overspeed clacker will sound if the airspeed is too high for
the selected flap setting.
2. To ensure that the correct flap position is selected for
go--around, make sure that the back face of the flap lever is
pushed without any downward pressure.
If one of the two power drive unit motors fails, the system will remain functional, but will
operate at half speed and a FLAPS HALF SPEED status message will be displayed on the
EICAS status page and on the FLT CONTROLS synoptic page.
The EICAS primary page will display flap position in relation to landing gear position when
either the landing gear or flaps are extended. At all other times, the gear and flap
information is removed from the primary page, but flap position is always displayed on the
FLT CONTROLS synoptic page.

1. SPOILERS
There are four spoiler panels located on the upper surface of each wing consisting of:
Each spoiler is actuated by a single electro--hydraulic power control unit and provides roll
assist and proportional lift dumping functions. Spoiler operation is controlled by two, dual
module, spoiler electronic control units (SECUs).
Proportional lift dumping is provided in flight by symmetric deployment of the flight spoilers.
Deployment is relative to the position of the flight spoiler control lever. Proportional lift
dumping is used for speed control and to stabilize the aircraft on the glide path or during
rapid descents.
The ground spoilers provide ground lift dumping function only. Ground lift dumping is used
to assist in aircraft braking on the ground by full deployment of the spoilerons, flight spoilers
and the ground spoilers Ground lift dumping is normally automatic but can be manually
controlled by the GND/LIFT DUMPING switch on the center pedestal. Automatic
deployment is triggered on the basis of:

the aircraft attitude approaches a high angle--of--attack (AOA) and to prevent stall
penetration when the aircraft nears the computed stall angle. The system alerts the flight
crew by means of visual, aural, and feel (stick shaker) indications. If no corrective action is
taken, the system activates the stick pusher mechanism to prevent the aircraft from entering
a stall.
The stick pusher mechanism is armed by selecting the pilot’s and copilot’s STALL PTCT
pusher switches.
NOTE
Angle of attack vanes located on each side of the forward fuselage measure the aircraft
attitude in relation to the ambient airstream. The stall protection computer (SPC) uses the
AOA information and airspeed to compute the stall angle trip points.
When the aircraft approaches a high AOA, the stall protection computer will activate the
engines auto-ignition system. If the AOA continues to increase, the stick shaker is activated
and the autopilot is disengaged.
If the angle of attack still continues to approach the critical stall point, the stick pusher is
activated, the STALL switchlights flash red, and the warbler sounds. The stick pusher then
pushes the control column forward to give the aircraft a pitch down attitude. In the event of
an AOA rate increase greater than 1 degree per second, the SPC lowers the AOA trip point
to prevent the aircraft pitching momentum from carrying it through the stall warning/stick
pusher sequence into the stall.
The stick pusher can be stopped by pressing and holding the AP/SP DISC switch on the
pilot’s and copilot’s control wheel.
Testing of the stall protection system is initiated by momentarily pressing one of the STALL
switchlights, and verifying that:
S Auto--ignition is activated (CONT ON and CONT IGNITION status messages come on)
S Pilots control column bounces back to neutral position when the AP/SP DISC button is
momentarily pressed
S Pilot’s control column will take several seconds to go back to the neutral position. Copilot
should pull (override) the control column and note diminished feel force loads while
momentarily pressing AP/SP DISC button
NOTE
NOTE
When pressed for 4 seconds or longer,
STALL FAIL caution message will come on.
Caution message will go out approximately
1 second after switch is released.

All basic flight information is presented to the flight crew on Electronic Flight Instrument
System (EFIS) displays. Each pilot instrument panel contains a primary flight display (PFD)
and a multifunctional display (MFD). All four displays are electronically identical to permit
transfer of display data.
Each PFD is a digital CRT and has the primary function of pictorially showing aircraft
attitude, altitude, airspeed, flight director commands and flight mode annunciations. Inputs
to the PFD’s are from the selected AHRS and ADC’s. Commands are set on the flight
control panel, air data reference panel and display control panels.

attitude, altitude, airspeed, flight director commands and flight mode annunciations. Inputs
to the PFD’s are from the selected IRS and ADC’s. Commands are set on the flight control
panel, air data reference panel and display control panels.<0025>
Each of the MFDs acts as a navigation system display and has a primary function of
showing current heading (compass) and course information. The MFDs can also display
moving map navigation pictorials, navigation sensor data, weather radar targets, and TCAS
traffic (see Chapter 18). Cross side compass information and backup navigation information
can be superimposed on either display. EICAS information can also be displayed on either
MFD.
A. Display Reversion
Two display reversionary panels are installed in the flight compartment. One panel is
installed on the pilot’s side panel and the other panel is installed on the copilot’s side
panel. In the event of a PFD failure, all data normally displayed on it can be transferred
to the adjacent MFD by turning the display selector knob on the respective
reversionary panel to the PFD position. The MFD information cannot be transferred to
the PFD. Selecting the EICAS position will initially display the EICAS status page on
the respective MFD. All the other EICAS pages are available for display on the MFD,
through selections on the EICAS control panel.

Two display control panels are installed in the flight compartment. One panel is installed
on the pilot’s side panel and the other panel is installed on the copilot’s side panel.
Each panel provides the pilot and copilot control of their respective PFD and MFD.
The rotary FORMAT knob can be used to select one of the following navigation formats:
S HSI compass
S TCAS
S Weather radar.
If one display control panel fails, the other panel can be used to control all four
electronic flight displays. This is done by selecting the DSPL CONT knob, on the
Source Selector Panel, to the 1 or 2 position as required.

C. Comparator Function
A comparison of displayed data is performed by each PFD to ensure that the same
data is shown on both PFDs. Comparison of roll, pitch, heading, altitude and airspeed
information is performed continuously. Comparison for radio altitude, flight director
pitch, ILS localizer and ILS glide slope are performed during precision landing. When a
miscompare condition is detected, the miscompare indicator on both PFDs will flash
amber for 5 seconds then come on steady, as long as the miscompare exists. An EFIS
COMP MON caution message is also displayed on the EICAS primary page.
Two air data computers (ADC 1 and ADC 2) provide the primary flight displays (PFD) with air
data consisting of airspeed, altitude and vertical speed. The ADCs also provide computed
air data (speed, altitude and temperature data) to various aircraft avionics systems. The
ADCs convert pitot and static air pressure to electrical signals. The ADCs use static
pressure to produce the altitude data and combine static and pitot pressure to produce the
airspeed data. Resistance changes from a total air temperature (TAT) probe provide the
ADCs with temperature data. The system is controlled by the air data reference panels and
has warning and alert capabilities integrated with the EICAS. Selected speeds and altitude
are set using the flight control panel (refer to Chapter 3).
The pitot static system supplies pitot and static air pressures to the ADCs, the standby
altitude/attitude/airspeed indicator and the cabin pressure control panel (CPCP). The
system consists of two pitot/static probes, an alternate pitot probe, alternate static ports
and a total air temperature probe (TAT).
The pitot static system supplies pitot and static air pressures to the ADCs, the
integrated standby instrument (ISI) and the cabin pressure control panel (CPCP). The
system consists of two pitot/static probes, an alternate pitot probe, alternate static ports
and a total air temperature probe (TAT).<0083>
The pilots and copilots pitot static probes each consist of a pitot mast (P1 and P2) and
two static ports (S1 and S2). Pitot pressure from each probe is supplied to the same
side ADC. Static pressure from each probe is supplied to each ADC.
The alternate pitot probe (P3) supplies pressure inputs to the standby
altitude/attitude/airspeed indicator.
The alternate pitot probe (P3) supplies pressure inputs to the integrated standby
instrument (ISI).<0083>
Electric heating elements protect the pitot-static and TAT probes from icing (refer to
Chapter 15, Ice and Rain Protection).
NOTE
Two Mach transducers supply primary Mach compensation data to the stall protection
computer. The transducers are connected to the left and right pitot static system and
provide a means of isolating a leaky transducer from the rest of the pitot static system.
via the static source selectors. The selectors are controlled by mechanical selectors on
the pilot’s and copilot’s side consoles.
B. Air Data
The air data system provides computed air data (speed, altitude and temperature)
information to the following systems:
S Electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) and engine indication and crew alerting
system (EICAS) displays.
The air data system provides the following air data parameters:
S Vertical speed, indicated airspeed, Mach number and true airspeed (TAS)
S IAS reference (automatically through the AP control or manually through the air data
reference panel)
In addition to the above parameters, the air data system computes and controls the
following reference values and parameters:
S Preselect altitude
The air data reference panels (ARP) are located on the pilot’s and copilot’s side panels.
Each ARP is used to enable selection of airspeed reference pointers and barometric
correction for altitude.
Each ARP functions with the same-side ADC, display control panel, primary flight
display and multifunctional display. The ARP is divided into three sections:
S The speed references section is used to select and input changes to the various
target and speed settings (V1, VR, V2 and VT). Both PFDs will display the same
values.
S The altitude references section is used to set minimum descent altitude (MDA) and
decision height (DH) values and to initiate radio altimeter self test.
S The barometric references section is used to select and input changes to the ADC
barometric pressure, to select indicating units (hPa or inHg) and to set standard
barometric pressure. Each PFD can have a different barometric pressure setting.
The last value selected is retained in the ADC memory for the next power up.

D. Altitude Alerts
The altitude alert system alerts the flight crew that a preselected altitude has been
reached or a deviation from a preselected altitude has occurred. When the aircraft is
cleared to change altitude, the preselected altitude is set on the PFD through the flight
control panel (FCP). There are three types of alerts that can occur:
S Acquisition mode
S Deviation mode.

E. Acquisition Mode
Altitude alerts are inhibited in approach mode, when glideslope is captured and there
are valid autopilot steering commands. The ADC will set a one second acquisition alert
warning (altitude C-cord warning aural) and flash the preselected altitude readout when
the present altitude is within ±1,000 feet of capturing the preselected altitude. The
readout will stop flashing when the altitude is within ±200 feet of the preselected
altitude. The alert can be cancelled by pressing the altitude knob on the flight control
panel.
Each ADC compares the preselect altitude value from both computers for equality. If
the values are not equal, the preselect altitude digits on the display change from
magenta to cyan.
G. Deviation Mode
After the preselected altitude is captured, if the altitude deviates from the preselected
altitude by more than ±200 feet, a deviation alert warning (aural “C” chord) will be set
and the preselected altitude readout and bug will change from magenta to amber and
begin to flash. The readout and bug will return to normal once the altitude is back
within deviation limits. A deviation alert will also be made if the airplane has gone within
the acquisition limits on an altitude capture but then deviates by more than 100 feet
from the preselected altitude.
Normally, each ADC provides data to the same side PFD. If one ADC should fail, the
other computer may be used to supply data to both PFDs. This is done by selecting the
AIR DATA knob, to the 1 or 2 position, on the Source Selector Panel.

There are two radio altimeter (RADALT) systems installed on the aircraft. Each system
provides an accurate measurement of absolute altitude (height above terrain) from 0 to 2500
feet AGL. Radio altitude information is supplied from both radio altimeters to the following:
<0045>
S PFD’s
The radio altimeter provides the pilot’s and copilot’s PFDs with the following:
When a failure is detected during flight, a red warning flag is displayed on the PFD’s.
The radio altitude display is displayed as both a digital and a moving tape readout. The
digital readout appears as the aircraft descends through 2,500 feet. The tape is an analog
scale that is displayed when the airplane is below an altitude of 1,225 feet.
Decision height is set (from 0 to 999 feet) using either pilot’s air data reference panel. A test
button is provided on the air data reference panel to verify the operation of the radio
altimeter system.

The attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) is a gyro reference system that
generates angular rate and linear acceleration information about the aircraft axis.
The AHRS is a dual system with two independent attitude and heading computers. Each
computer receives corrected heading information from an individual flux detector which
sense the earth’s magnetic field. Each computer also receives information from the same
side air data system. This information, together with accelerometer sensor data, is
processed and sent to the integrated avionics processor system which interfaces with the
flight control computers and flight management computers.
These signals are also routed to the TCAS, GPWS, weather radar, fuel system, stall
protection system, flight data recorder and data concentrator units.
These signals are also routed to the TCAS, EGPWS, weather radar, fuel system, stall
protection system, flight data recorder and data concentrator units. <0040>
AHRS provides attitude and heading information to the electronic flight instruments. The
PFD’s display AHRS alignment flags during initialization (30 to 70 seconds). If aircraft
primary power is lost, the AHRS will continue to operate on battery bus power for 11
minutes. Attitude is displayed on the attitude direction indicator (ADI) of the primary flight
displays and heading is displayed on the horizontal situation indicator (HSI) portions of the
displays.
AHRS mode selections are made using the pilot or copilot compass control panel. The
AHRS normally operates in magnetic (MAG) mode. Directional gyro (DG) mode is intended
to operate as a heading reference, only for a short period of time, near areas where
magnetic disruptions exist and does not use data from the flux detector.
A slew switch is provided to change heading direction. The switch is operational in both
MAG and DG modes. In DG mode it is used periodically to correct for drift. In MAG mode, it
also causes the heading to slew in the selected direction. When the switch is released in
MAG mode, the heading will slowly slave back to the heading defined by the flux detector.
The inertial reference system (IRS) provides inertial outputs of attitude, heading, angular
rates, linear acceleration and present position to be displayed on the flight displays and to
be used by other avionics systems.
The IRS is a dual system with two inertial reference units (IRU) and a dual mode select unit
(MSU). Each IRU receives information from the same side air data system. The IRU
measures inertial motion sensed by the inertial instruments and computes attitude and
heading data. This information is processed and sent to the integrated avionics processor
system which interfaces with the flight control computers and flight management computers.
These signals are also routed to the TCAS, EGPWS, weather radar, fuel system, stall
protection system, flight data recorder and data concentrator units. The MSU provides pilot
selection of the IRS modes.
The IRS provides attitude and heading information to the electronic flight instruments.
Attitude is displayed on the attitude direction indicator (ADI) of the primary flight displays and
heading is displayed on the horizontal situation indicator (HSI) portions of the displays.
Heading is selected to magnetic or true using the flight management system (refer to
Chapter 18).
The IRS normally operates in navigation mode. In navigation mode, it is not possible to
update the IRS position, however, it is possible to perform a rapid realignment while on the
ground.
Attitude mode is a reversionary mode, used when the IRU has detected an inertial failure or
inaccuracies of the navigation operation in flight. Attitude mode does not provide position
data. In attitude mode, the heading may drift and must be corrected using the flight
management system (FMS). If the FMS is not available, the EICAS control panel can be
used to make heading corrections. Attitude mode is annunciated on the EICAS status page.

IRS initialization takes about 7 minutes at normal temperature. The IRS requires that
the initial position be entered using the flight management system (FMS). The primary
flight displays (PFD’s) present a flashing initialization alignment message during
initialization. Upon successful alignment, the IRS will automatically sequence into
navigation mode. Attitude alignment takes 1 minute or 34 seconds when switching
from navigation to attitude mode, provided the aircraft is stationary on the ground or in
straight and level flight. <0025>

The standby attitude indicator displays aircraft pitch and bank angles. It is a 28 VDC
driven gyro that provides pitch and roll information for at least nine minutes after a
power failure. It also serves as a standby ILS indicator to provide localizer and
glideslope indications.
The integrated standby instrument (ISI) provides standby attitude, altitude and airspeed
information to the flight crew. To retain full operational capability under emergency
conditions the ISI is powered by the battery bus. The ISI uses inputs from the alternate

A compass correction card, mounted above the instrument, is used to record the values
that must be added to, or subtracted from the compass indications to correct for the
influence of magnetic materials contained in the aircraft and magnetic fields from the
avionics systems near the compass.
STEER
E. Clocks
Effectivity:
A digital electronic clock is installed on the pilot and copilot side panels. Each clock
contains its own time base and each has GMT, CHR, local and ET functions. The clocks
are the time base source for the aircraft avionics equipment. The clocks receive
air/ground information from the PSEU to control the elapsed time function (flight time).
The Pilots clock is powered from the DC battery bus and the copilots clock is powered
from DC bus 2. In the event of a power failure, both clocks will be powered by the main
battery direct bus. Current time is also displayed on the multifunctional displays.
Effectivity:
A digital electronic clock is installed on the pilot and copilot side panels. Each clock is
capable of displaying date (GPS or internal UTC), current time (GPS, internal UTC, or
local), chronometer (CHR), as well as elapsed time (ET) functions. The clocks are
synchronized to the GPS input as soon as valid GPS information is received. In the case
of invalid GPS data or signal loss, the clocks will operate in internal (INT) mode using the
integrated time base of each clock. If there is a valid GPS signal, the clocks do not need
to be set, as this will be done automatically at power up. The flight crew can disable the
the GPS signal by entering the time setting mode. The clocks will then ignore the GPS
signal until the next primary power reset. The MODE, ET SEL and ET RST buttons are
used to set the time and date. To set the clock, push the MODE button for two seconds,
then push the MODE button again to toggle between UTC hours and minutes (when the
INT is lit), year, month, and day, (when the DT is lit), and local time hours and minutes
(when the LT is lit). In any of these modes, the ET SEL button is used to decrease the
data and the ET RST button is used to increase the data. Data changes are in
increments of one digit for each press of the ET SEL or ET RST button. At any time
during the time setting process, pressing the MODE button for a minimum of two seconds
will exit the time setting mode and restart the clock operation.

The head--up guidance system (HGS) projects instrument and airplane systems data
holographically between the pilot and the pilot’s windshield. Attitude, airspeed, flight path
guidance and other information are displayed in symbolic format. HGS allows the pilot to fly
the airplane during Category IIIa instrument approaches in a head--up position. A combiner
optically diffracts (reflects) flight symbology to infinity and allows the pilot to look through the
display without eye movement or shift in eye focus.
S Combiner,
The combiner is mounted on the pilot’s windshield frame and can be used during ground
and flight operations. The combiner is deployed and stowed by actuating a lever on the
RH side. An infrared transmitter and alignment detector automatically check if the optical
element/combiner is out of position. The combiner also incorporates a manual/automatic
brightness control.
S Control Panel,
The control panel is used to set system references, flight and system test modes.
S Overhead Unit,
The overhead unit contains a CRT to generate symbology and a lens to project the
symbology on the combiner.
S Computer Unit,
The computer unit creates the flight symbology from airplane sensor data. HGS combines
airplane situational information (speed, heading, pitch, roll, attitude), inertially sensed
flight path and flight path acceleration information and guidance directed control inputs.
Integration of airplane systems information and inputs, combined with flight data, allows
the pilot to maneuver the airplane along the flight path with precise straight--in and glide
path tracking.
If guidance data is being provided by AFCS, the combiner will echo AFCS data. During a
HGS--guided approach, once the localizer and glideslope have been captured and the
airplane has descended below 2,000 feet, the HGS can be selected to provide the desired
type of approach guidance.
S Mode AIII,
This mode is used for approach and landings to category IIIa minima.
NOTE
A. Combiner Symbology
Dependent upon HGS mode (see “DISPLAY CRITERIA” table) the combiner will display
the following:
S Lateral Deviation,
Localizer deviation and excessive deviation are displayed. LOC flags are used
to indicate a localizer failure or miscompare
S Vertical Deviation,
Glideslope deviation and excessive deviation indications are provided. GS
angle readouts are provided. GS flags are used to indicate a glideslope
failure or miscompare.
Effectivity:
NOTE
S If AOA and flight path symbol are aligned, then airplane is at stick shaker
S AOA symbol comes on below 1,500 feet if a windshear has been detected
S AOA symbol comes on when the airplane is within 2 degrees of stick shaker.

B. Output to PFD’s
HGS provides information via IAPS to enable the copilot to monitor the airplane’s
approach to the runway, check the performance of the HGS, and monitor the pilot’s
response to HGS commands. The PFDs will display the following:
S Loss of HGS Mode (AIII, AII, or AI) displayed as a red line through the green
message
S HGS approach warning (APCH WARN) and HGS failure (HGS FAIL) displayed
as red flags. EICAS will echo HGS FAIL as a status message (white)
C. Audio Callouts

closure awareness. Callouts are as follows:
D. Output to FDR
The HGS transmits the following data to the flight data recorder:
S HGS in use
S Approach warning.
E. Output to MDC
The HGS transmits the following data to the maintenance diagnostic computer:
S HGS unit failures; combiner, control panel, overhead unit, drive electronics unit or
computer unit (when they occur)
S Input failures; RA 1 and RA 2, DME 1, VHF 1 and VHF 2, ADC 1 and ADC 2, IRS 1
and IRS 2, IAPS and TCAS (when they occur).
The HGS monitors approach parameters during Category II operations (500 feet to 100
feet AGL) as follows:
The HGS monitors approach parameters during Category III operations (from 500 feet
AGL). The following are checked:
S The airplane’s approach relative to airspeed, localizer and glideslope deviation and
crosstrack rate, vertical speed, lateral and longitudinal position
S For possible unsafe landings by evaluating the sink rate, lateral displacement from
runway centerline, airspeed relative to selected airspeed, crosstrack rate, roll angle,
and distance traveled along the runway.
The HGS continuously checks its operational status and if a fault is detected the system
will blank the CRT and the combiner. EICAS and the PFDs will display applicable HGS
failure / approach warning messages. The HGS control panel FAULT lamp will come
on, the HGS control panel LED unit will display an applicable fault code.
The HGS control panel is used to enter runway and glideslope data, to accomplish
testing troubleshooting, to select HGS modes and to display the mode in use. Modes
are indicated on the control panel as follows:
S The CRT line adjacent to the ACT key indicates the current active mode
S The CRT line adjacent to the STBY key indicates the next available / next selectable
mode
S The CRT line to the far right side of the STBY key indicates HGS capability (AIII,

1. INTRODUCTION
The fuel system consists of three integral tanks within the wing box structure. Ejector pumps
and electrical boost pumps supply fuel to each engine. The fuel system also provides
facilities for pressure refueling/defueling and gravity refueling/defueling. Power and gravity
crossflow systems allow fuel transfer between wing tanks and also provides fuel to the
auxiliary power unit (APU).
A fuel system computer (FSC) automatically controls refueling, powered fuel crossflow and
fuel transfer. The FSC also measures the fuel quantity and temperature for display on the
engine indication and crew alerting system (EICAS).
The EICAS FUEL synoptic page shows a diagram of the fuel distribution system. Operation
of the ejectors, pumps and shutoff valves are graphically displayed. Any fault detected by
the FSC is annunciated in the form of visual and/or aural messages. Faults are also
displayed on the refuel/defuel panel in the form of fault codes.

1. FUEL STORAGE
Fuel is stored in two main wing tanks and one center wing tank. In flight, as the wing tank
fuel quantity decreases, the FSC will automatically transfer fuel from the center tank to the
wing tanks to maintain lateral balance.
A. Collector Tanks
Two collector tanks are located in the forward section of the center wing tank. Fuel
from each wing tank is fed under pressure to its respective collector tank by scavenge
ejectors. The collector tank capacity is 10 gallons (38 liters) and when the tank is full,
excess fuel is vented back to the respective wing tank. Fuel can also be fed from the
wing tanks to the associated collector tank by gravity. There is no migration of fuel from
the center tank into the collector tanks. A main fuel ejector in each collector tank is
immersed in fuel and is used to ensure a positive supply of fuel to the engines. The
boost pumps normally supply fuel to the engines for start.
B. Venting
The tanks are vented through interconnecting vent lines to NACA scoops located on
the lower surface of each wing.
In flight, the NACA scoops supply ram air to slightly pressurize the wing tanks.
On the ground, the tanks are vented to atmosphere through the NACA scoops to
prevent pressure buildup within the tanks caused by the refueling process or from
thermal expansion of the fuel.
NOTE
During climb, fuel could enter the center tank from the
vent system. This fuel can cause erroneous center
tank quantity indications as high as 300 lbs (135kg).

1. FUEL MANAGEMENT
Fuel management is accomplished by fuel transfer from the center tank to the wing tanks
and by fuel crossflow from one wing tank to the other wing tank.
A. Fuel Transfer
Fuel transfer from the centre tank to the wing tanks is provided by transfer ejector
pumps to maintain the wing tanks at full capacity as long as possible. This is an
automatic function with no manual control. The ejectors are powered by fuel pressure
tapped from the engine supply lines via the fuel transfer shutoff valves which are
automatically controlled by the fuel system computer (FSC). The FSC commands the
respective transfer shutoff valve to open when the associated wing tank fuel quantity
falls below 94% of full, and commands it to close when the tank quantity reaches 97%.
The FSC will cycle the transfer system on and off until the center tank is empty.
If the fuel imbalance between the wing tanks exceeds 400 lbs (181 kg), a FUEL
IMBALANCE caution message is displayed on the EICAS primary page. If the total fuel
quantity is less than 900 lbs (408 kg) the fuel quantity indication on the primary page
turns amber.
Effectivity:
S Airplanes 7002, 7042 and subsequent. Aircraft 7003 to 7081 incorporating SB 601R--28--015
If the fuel imbalance between the wing tanks exceeds 800 lbs (360 kg), a FUEL
IMBALANCE caution message is displayed on the EICAS primary page. If the total fuel
quantity is less than 900 lbs (408 kg) the fuel quantity indication on the primary page turns
amber.
If the fuel imbalance between the wing tanks exceeds 800 lbs (360 kg), a FUEL
IMBALANCE caution message is displayed on the EICAS primary page and both wing
tank quantity indicators turn amber. If one wings fuel quantity is less than 450 lbs (204
kg), then that wings fuel quantity indicator will turn amber.<0039>
In the event of wing tank gauging failure, the FSC will use the high level sensors,
located at the top of each tank, to control the fuel transfer operations.
B. Fuel Crossflow
To correct fuel imbalance and to maintain aircraft lateral stability, the FSC automatically
initiates fuel crossflow upon detecting a fuel imbalance between wing tanks. The
crossflow/APU pump located within the center tank provides powered crossflow in
either automatic or manual mode.
In automatic mode, the FSC controls the crossflow operation. If the computer detects a
fuel imbalance between the wing tanks of 200 lbs (90 kg), the crossflow/APU pump is
activated automatically and the required crossflow shutoff valve is opened to correct the
fuel imbalance. Crossflow operations continue until 50 lb (23kg) imbalance is reached.
The flight crew can override the automatic function by selecting the XFLOW, AUTO
OVERRIDE switchlight and the required (L or R) XFLOW valve switchlight on the Fuel
Control Panel.
If the powered crossflow system fails, the flight crew can select the GRAVITY XFLOW
switchlight on the Fuel Control Panel. This will open the gravity shutoff valve to allow
fuel transfer by gravity between wing tanks. Gravity crossflow can also be enhanced by
using a sideslip maneuver.

1. FUEL DISTRIBUTION
Fuel is distributed to each engine from a respective side collector tank which is an integral
part of the center wing tank. Two scavenge ejectors, located at the lowest part of each wing
tank, supplies fuel to each collector tank to keep it in a full condition. The collector tank is
designed to maintain engine fuel feed under all normal and transient flight maneuvering. A
main ejector, within each collector tank, supplies fuel to the respective side engine. The
main and scavenge ejectors are powered by pressurized fuel tapped from the motive flow
line of the respective engine fuel pump.
For engine start, a boost pump connected to each collector tank, is selected ON from the
fuel control panel. The boost pumps supply fuel to their respective engines. The control
panel is used to control and monitor boost pump operation.
The fuel output pressure from the main ejector is monitored by a pressure switch and when
the output pressure is sufficient to supply the engines, the boost pumps are automatically
turned off. The boost pumps will remain in standby mode with the engines running, as a
back up to the main ejectors in the event of a failure. Each boost pump is capable of
feeding both engines.
The XFLOW/APU pump supplies fuel to the APU when the PWR FUEL switch on the APU
control panel is selected. In the event of a XFLOW/APU pump failure, the APU can be
supplied fuel from the right engine fuel feed manifold.
In the event of a fire, fuel flow to the engine or APU is terminated by the closure of a fuel
shut-off valve when the associated fire push switchlight is selected.

The refuel/defuel system is controlled by the Fuel System Computer (FSC) through selection
on a refuel/defuel control panel. Pressure refueling and suction defueling of the aircraft are
accomplished using a refuel/defuel adapter located in the right wing, leading edge, root
fairing.
Gravity refueling is carried out through filler caps installed on the upper wing surface. The
fuel quantity can be monitored using magnetic level indicators installed in the tanks. Water
drain valves, installed at various low points, permit testing of fuel for contamination and
provide the means of draining any accumulated water.

The refueling operation can be initiated in automatic or manual mode. Automatic mode
allows the required total aircraft fuel quantity to be preselected. In automatic mode, the
fuel system computer (FSC) controls the distribution of the fuel by filling the wing tanks
before allowing any fuel to be loaded into the center tank. High level detectors located
at the top of each tank prevent fuel tank overfilling during refueling operations by
closing the refuel shut-off valves.
The defuel mode is similar to the manual mode except that defueling is selected.
The test mode checks that the FSC, high level detectors and refuel/defuel shutoff
valves are operating properly.

Fuel quantity is measured using fuel probes, which provide signals directly proportional to
fuel level to the FSC. There are 6 probes in each wing tank and 3 in the centre tank. A
compensator probe in each wing tank supplies data to the FSC to compute fuel density
corrections.
Fuel quantity gauging is calibrated for both ground and flight operations by the the computer
which receives weight-on-wheel signals from the proximity sensing electronic unit (PSEU).
In flight, the computer takes into account the effects of wing deflection and aircraft attitude
on the fuel quantity measurement.
Corrected individual tank quantities, total fuel quantity, fuel used quantity and fuel

1. INTRODUCTION
Hydraulic power is provided by three independent systems designated No.1, No.2 and No.3.
All systems operate at a nominal pressure of 3000 psi (20,685 kPa) and use synthetic
hydraulic fluid “Skydrol”.
WARNING
Systems 1 and 2 are serviced by ground service panels located in the aft equipment
compartment. System 3 is serviced by a ground service panel located on the right side of
the fuselage, aft of the wing root.
Each system has two hydraulic pumps; a main pump (A) for normal power and a backup
pump (B) for supplementary power. System No.1 and 2 main pumps are engine driven
pumps (EDP’s). System 1 EDP (1A) is driven by the left engine and system 2 EDP (2A) is
driven by the right engine. System 1 and 2 backup pumps (1B and 2B) are electrical AC
motor pumps (ACMP’s). Both hydraulic pumps for system No.3 are ACMP’s. In system
No.3, the main pump (3A) normally runs continuously, while the backup pump (3B) is
available during periods of high flow requirements.
The hydraulic systems supply power to operate the rudder, elevators, ailerons, spoilerons,
flight spoilers, ground spoilers, wheel brakes, nosewheel steering and landing gear
extension and retraction. The rudder, elevators and ailerons are powered by more than one
hydraulic system to prevent loss of critical flight controls.
During a total AC power failure in flight, pump 3B will be automatically powered by the air
driven generator (ADG) when it is deployed. This will provide hydraulic pressure to the
landing gear, brakes and nosewheel steering and also provides backup hydraulic pressure
to the primary flight controls.

EDP’s 1A and 2A draw fluid from their respective reservoirs through firewall shutoff
valves. Fluid is pumped at 3000 psi to the applicable pressure manifold, filtered and
distributed to the aircraft hydraulically actuated components.
Each ACMP provides a nominal outlet pressure of 3000 psi. AC motor pump 1B is
powered from AC bus 2 and AC motor pump 2B is powered from AC bus 1. Each AC
motor pump is controlled by a separate switch on the HYDRAULIC pump control panel
located on the overhead panel in the flight compartment. When a pump switch is set to
AUTO, the pump will automatically start under the following conditions:
NOTE
Electrically operated, normally open, hydraulic shutoff valves are installed in the suction
lines of the engine driven pumps (1A and 2A). During an engine fire condition, the
corresponding shutoff valve is motored closed when the ENG FIRE PUSH switchlight is
pressed. (See Chapter 10, Fire Protection).
D. Reservoir
System 1 and 2 reservoirs are storage tanks that hold a reserve supply of hydraulic
fluid for their respective systems. The reservoirs are also partially pressurized with

The aircraft is equipped with an ice detection system to alert the flight crew of impending
icing conditions. The ice detection system consists of two independent ice detector probes
located on each side of the forward fuselage and extending into the airstream. The ice
detection system operates continuously when AC power is available. During icing
conditions, each detector is electrically deiced (for 5 seconds every 60 seconds) to clear the
probe of ice build--up to allow continuous detection of ice formation.
The ice detectors interface with the data concentrator units (DCU) to provide visual
indications of icing conditions.

The wing anti-ice system prevents ice formation on the wing leading edges by heating the
surfaces with hot 14th stage engine bleed air. The hot bleed air is supplied through
insulated ducting and released through piccolo tubes to the inner surface of the wing leading
edges. When normal anti--icing is selected, the wing leading edges are maintained at a
constant temperature to shed ice and to prevent further ice accumulation.
The wing anti-ice system is divided into identical left and right systems. In normal operation,
each engine supplies hot bleed air to its respective wing anti-ice system. The systems are
connected by a, normally closed, 14 stage isolation valve. In the event one system fails, the
isolation valve is opened to permit cross bleeding between systems. This ensures that wing
anti--icing is maintained to both systems.

The engine cowl anti-ice system prevents ice formation on the engine intake leading edges
and the engine T2 sensors by heating the surfaces with hot 14th stage engine bleed air.
The hot bleed air is supplied to the intake leading edges through respective L/R cowl
anti--ice valves. (Refer to figure 1, section 30 of this chapter)
The left and right cowl anti-ice pressure regulating and shutoff valves are manually
controlled by the respective LH and RH COWL switches on the ANTI--ICE control panel.
The valves are electrically controlled and pneumatically operated and are failed--safe to the
open position. When power is applied to the aircraft, the valves go to close. Crew activation
of each system, opens the respective cowl anti-ice valve.
Each cowl anti-ice system also contains an overpressure relief valve mounted downstream
of the cowl anti-ice valves. When an overpressure condition occurs, the relief valve opens to
dump the excess pressure overboard and an indicator extends out the nose cowl to indicate
that the relief valve is open. After an overpressure, the relief valve remains open and the
indicator is visable during a walkaround. Maintenance should be advised before resetting
the relief valve.

Air data probes and sensors are located on the left and right sides of the forward fuselage
and extend into the airstream. The air data probes and sensors are monitored and
controlled by three independent and identical air data sensor heater controllers (ADSHC’s).
Controller 1 monitors the heater elements for the left pitot, left and right base heaters, left
angle of attack (AOA) vane and left static port. Controller 2 monitors the right pitot, right
AOA vane, total air temperature (TAT) probe and right static port. Controller 3 monitors the
standby pitot probe. The ADSHC’s electronically control the heating elements to prevent ice
formation that may cause erroneous air data information. The air data sensor heating
system is activated automatically on the ground and in flight.
The ground mode has two operational heating modes, automatic and manual When either
engine generator is on and the LH and RH PROBES switches, on the ANTI--ICE control
panel, are OFF, the LH and RH pitot probes and the standby pitot probe are heated at half
power (The APU does not control this function). The static ports, base heaters, TAT probe,
and the AOA vanes are not powered automatically in the ground mode. However, they can
be heated by selecting the LH and RH PROBES switches to ON.
NOTE
In the flight mode, the automatic control function is completely independent of the control
switches. The controllers automatically supply full power to all the air data probes and
sensors, regardless of PROBES switch position.

Anti-icing and defogging of the windshields and side windows is achieved by electrically
heating the windshields and side windows. Each windshield and side window incorporates
an electrical heating element and three temperature sensors. One sensor is used for normal
temperature control and another is used for overheat detection. The third sensor is a spare,
and is used if one of the other sensors fail.
The amount of heat supplied to the windshields and side windows is controlled by four
identical temperature controllers, one for each window. The controllers automatically
regulate power to the heating elements as selected by the LOW/HI WSHLD switches on the
ANTI--ICE control panel. When the switches are set to HI, the windshields are heated at a
high temperature, but the side window temperatures are maintained at the LOW setting.
When an overheat condition is detected, the associated controller removes the power to the
heater element and posts a caution message on the EICAS primary page.

The windshield wiper system is designed to remove rain and/or snow from the pilot and
co-pilot’s windshields.
The windshield wiper system consists of independent pilot and copilot systems. Each
system consists of a windshield wiper and motor. Each pilot has a selector, located on the
WIPER control panel that actuates both wipers. Under normal operations, both wipers will
operate in the same mode when selected from either panel. If each selector is set to a
different mode, the last selection made overrides the previous selection. If one wiper system
fails, the remaining system will still be functional.
With either switch selected to the SLOW position, the wipers operate at approximately 80
cycles per minute. At FAST position the wipers operate at approximately 125 cycles per
minute.

1. INTRODUCTION
The landing gear is a retractable tricycle type consisting of two, wing root mounted, main
landing gear assemblies and a forward, fuselage mounted, steerable, nose landing gear
assembly. The main landing gear assemblies retract inboard and the nose landing gear
assembly retracts forward. Each landing gear has a nitrogen filled shock strut to absorb and
dissipate the shock loads encountered when the aircraft lands.
S Brake system
S Antiskid
Landing gear extension and retraction is electrically activated by the landing gear selector
lever and controlled by the proximity sensing electronic unit (PSEU). Sensors for the PSEU
are mounted on the landing gear and landing gear doors. The PSEU also provides landing
gear position indication for display on the EICAS. In normal operation, the landing gear is
hydraulically actuated by number 3 hydraulic system. An alternate independent means of
extending the landing gear is available should the normal extension system fail.
Each gear assembly has two wheels and each of the four main wheels is fitted with a,
hydraulically operated, steel multi-disc brake assembly.

Normal extension or retraction of the landing gear is initiated by landing gear control lever
selection. The retraction or extension signal is sent to the proximity sensing electronic unit
(PSEU) which monitors various landing gear proximity sensing inputs and weight-on-wheels
inputs. If the correct parameters are met, the PSEU energizes a selector valve to retract or
extend the landing gear using No. 3 hydraulic system.
The landing gear control lever is equipped with a solenoid lock which prevents an up
selection of the landing gear control lever with the aircraft on the ground. In the event of a
solenoid lock malfunction, a downlock release (DN LCK REL) on the landing gear control
panel, permits up selection of the landing gear control lever by overriding the solenoid lock.
The nose landing gear (NLG) is hydraulically extended in the aft direction and mechanically
locked in the down position. The NLG is hydraulically retracted in the forward direction and
mechanically locked in the up position.
The main landing gear doors and the nose landing gear aft door are mechanically linked to
the respective landing gears, and therefore, retract and extend with the landing gears. The
nose landing gear forward doors are actuated hydraulically from No. 3 hydraulic system.
The nose landing gear forward doors open before extension and retraction and then close
after extension and retraction.

B. Alternate Landing Gear Extension
Should a failure occur in the landing gear control system or in hydraulic system 3,
landing gear extension is still possible by pulling the landing gear manual release
handle.
When the handle is pulled, the nose landing gear forward door camlock and the three
landing gear uplocks are released by mechanical means. At the same time the
associated dump valves are opened to route No.3 hydraulic system pressure to return
which permits the landing gear to extend under its own weight.
The main landing gear is assisted to the down-and-locked position by the main gear
down lock assist actuators which are powered by No.2 hydraulic system. The nose
landing gear is assisted to the down-and-locked position by two tension springs and by
airflow.
Each wheel has a pressure relief plug (overpressure valve) and an inflation valve.
Refer to the Aircraft Maintenance Manual for tire pressure adjustment.
Four heat sensitive fusible plugs are installed in each main wheel to release excessive
air pressure caused by heat build--up. The fusible plugs protect the main wheel tires
from bursting, that could occur under heavy braking activity.
Wheel mounted tire pressure gauges, installed on all six wheels, directly measure the
pressure of the tire. <0044>
The proximity sensor system (PSS) includes the proximity sensor electronics unit (PSEU)
and associated proximity sensors, proximity switches and microswitches installed throughout
the aircraft. The PSS provides five basic functions:
S Weight-on-wheels indication,
The PSS monitors landing gear strut compression and provides indication of air or ground
status to the aircraft systems that require the information.
The PSEU, after processing sensor inputs, generates outputs that are used to control the
landing gear position. The PSEU also reports system status and provides control data to
other aircraft systems.
Continuous and periodic tests are performed by the PSEU to monitor specific aircraft
systems health and status. Landing gear position and status are displayed on the engine
indication and crew alerting system (EICAS) primary page. The landing gear position
indication is removed 30 seconds after the landing gear is in the up and locked position with
the flaps at 0 degrees.

1. BRAKE SYSTEM
Each wheel of the main landing gear is equipped with self-adjusting multi-disc brakes. The
brakes of the inboard wheels are powered by No. 3 hydraulic system and the brakes of the
outboard wheels are powered by No. 2 hydraulic system.
Brake application is initiated by pressing the rudder pedals which are mechanically linked to
the associated brake control valves. The brake control valves meter hydraulic pressure,
proportional to the pedal pressure, to the four main wheel brake units, through four
independent anti-skid control valves and four hydraulic fuses.
If a leak occurs in a brake line, the associated hydraulic fuse will close off the hydraulic line,
preventing loss of the entire system fluid.
With the loss of one hydraulic system, the aircraft has 50% symmetric braking capability with
full anti-skid control to the working brakes. In the event of a failure of both No. 2 and No. 3
hydraulic systems, accumulators in each hydraulic system will provide reserve pressure for
six braking applications (providing the anti--skid is selected OFF).
Available inboard and outboard brake pressure is continuously monitored and displayed on
EICAS on the hydraulic synoptic page, and any abnormal brake pressure detected is
displayed on the EICAS in the form of a visual and/or aural message.
NOTE
During landing gear retraction, hydraulic pressure is applied to the main wheel brake control
valves to stop main wheel spin.
Two brake wear indicator pins, installed on each brake assembly, provide a visual indication
of brake wear. If the indicator pin is flush with the top of the indicator housing, maintenance
should be informed.

NOTE
A. Parking Brake
Inboard brake control valves and the parking shutoff valve are used to provide braking
when the aircraft is parked. Pulling the parking brake handle while fully depressing
both rudder pedals and turning the handle 90 degrees in either direction, locks both
brake control valves in the applied position.
When the hydraulic systems are shut down, hydraulic pressure slowly leaks away via
the anti-skid return lines. The parking brake shutoff valve closes when the parking
brake is applied, ensuring that hydraulic system 3 accumulator pressure is maintained
on the inboard brakes for a prolonged period of time.
NOTE
Parking brake configuration and operational condition are continuously monitored and
any detected fault is displayed on EICAS in the form of a visual and/or aural message.
Effectivity:
S Airplanes 7003 to 7128 and 7002, 7129 and subsequent incorporating SB601R--24--055
NOTE
On the ground, with the parking brake applied, the ADG automatic
deployment is inhibited.
The brake temperature monitoring system (BTMS) provides an indication to the crew of
the main wheel brake temperatures. Individual brake temperatures are displayed as a
color coded numerical readout on the EICAS Status page. The brake temperature
readout will be displayed when the value of one of the four readouts is six or greater, or
when the landing gear and flap positions are displayed on the EICAS.
A BTMS overheat warning reset switch, on the landing gear control panel, is used to
reset the system when the brake overheat condition no longer exists.
C. Anti--Skid System
The anti-skid system controls hydraulic pressure to the four main wheel brakes to
provide anti-skid protection. The anti-skid system consists of a dual channel (inboard
and outboard) anti-skid control unit (ASCU), four (axle mounted) wheel speed
transducers and two dual anti-skid control valves.
S Touchdown protection: -- Prevents landing with locked wheels in the event that the
pilot(s) are depressing the brake pedals during touchdown
Selecting the anti--skid switch, on the landing gear control panel, to the ARMED
position enables the ASCU (provided the parking brake is not set and both main
landing gear are down and locked).
By monitoring each wheel speed individually, the ASCU can detect tire skidding. The
ASCU independently reduces the braking pressure at the skidding wheel by modulating
the pressure outputs of the appropriate anti-skid control valve. This modulation is
controlled by the individual wheel speed and deceleration monitored through the wheel
speed transducers.
In the air, with no weight-on-wheels signal, the anti-skid control valves dump pressure
to prevent wheel lock-up on touchdown. On the ground, the system becomes
operational once a 35 knots wheel spin-up signal is present or a weight-on-wheels
signal is present after a 5 second delay. The anti--skid function is operational to a
minimum wheel speed of 10 knots.
NOTE
The ASCU continuously monitors the anti-skid system and any detected faults are
displayed on the EICAS primary page.
NOTE
Both the A/SKID INBD and A/SKID
OUTBD caution messages will come on
if one of the main landing gear fails to
downlock.

Primary Page
The nose wheel steering system is a steer--by--wire system which is electrically controlled
and hydraulically actuated through dual steering actuators on the nose landing gear. The
system is controlled by a steering electronic control unit (ECU) and powered by No. 3
hydraulic system.
The steering ECU is armed through a N/W STRG ARMED switch, located on the pilots left
side panel, and activated by a weigh--on--wheels and nose gear down--and--locked signal
from the proximity sensing electronic unit (PSEU).
The steering ECU controls the nose wheel position based on inputs from either the steering
tiller on the pilot’s side console or the rudder pedals. Steering commands are processed by
the the ECU which electrically controls an electrohydraulic servo valve to modulate hydraulic
pressure to the steering actuators. The steering tiller turns the nose wheel up to 70 degrees
either side of center, and is intended for low speed taxiing. Steering with the rudder pedals
is limited to 7 degrees either side of center and is intended for high speed taxi and take-off
and landing rolls. Nose wheel position feedback is sent to the ECU from two position
transducers mounted on the steering actuators.
After take-off, the ECU generates a signal to center the nose wheel prior to landing gear
retraction. Also, centering cams in the shock strut mechanically center the nose wheel as
the strut extends under its own weight.
If a failure is detected by the steering control unit, the system reverts to free castoring mode.
The pilot then maintains ground directional control through rudder control and differential
braking.
In the event of failure of No. 3 hydraulic system, the nose wheel is centered by the centering
cams. Rudder, differential braking and differential thrust will be used for directional control.
Reverse thrust and the ground spoilers will decelerate the aircraft, if the brakes are
degraded or fail completely.
The steering control unit continuously monitors the nose wheel steering system, and any
detected fault is display on the EICAS primary page. Detection of a fault, will result in
steering system shutdown. The system will then revert to free castoring mode.

One landing light is installed in the leading edge of each wing and two landing lights are
installed on the nose radome. The taxi lights are installed outboard of the wing landing
lights, in the same wing compartments. The taxi lights also serve as recognition lights.
The nose landing lights are designed to illuminate the ground during landing and
take-off. Activation requires a gear downlock signal to prevent the lights from being on
when the landing gear is retracted.
The wing landing lights and taxi lights are high intensity discharge lamps. The landing
lights are controlled by the LEFT, RIGHT and NOSE landing light switches on the
LANDING LTS panel. The taxi lights are controlled, separately from the landing lights,
by the RECOG/TAXI LTS switch on the same panel.
The landing/taxi lights pulsing system is used to enhance the aircraft flight path
recognition quality. By pulsing alternately the intensity of the landing/taxi lights, and
illusion of exaggerated motion is created, which can be readily recognized, increasing
collision avoidance. <0031>

B. Navigation Lighting
A dual navigation light system is installed in the aircraft for additional dispatch reliability.
The navigation lights consists of two red lights in the left wing tip, two green lights in the
right wing tip, one white light on the aft end of the vertical stabilizer and one white light
on the aft end of the tail cone. The lights provide visual tracking and orientation of the
aircraft in relation to an observer. The navigation lights are controlled by a NAV switch
on the EXTERNAL LTS panel.
Two red beacon lights are installed on the aircraft to permit the aircraft to be seen from
a distance. One light is installed on the top of the fuselage and one light is installed on
the bottom of the fuselage. The lights are controlled by a BEACON switch on the
EXTERNAL LTS panel. The lights are also used during ground operations to provide
indication that the aircraft is powered and may have engines running.
There are three white anti-collision strobe lights on the aircraft. One light is installed in
each wing tip and one is installed on the aft end of the tail cone next to the navigation
light. They are synchronous lights that flash continuously. The light are controlled by a
STROBE switch on the EXTERNAL LTS panel.
A white logo light is installed on the upper surface of each engine pylon to illuminate the
airline logo on each side of the vertical stabilizer. The lights are controlled by a LOGO
switch on the EXTERNAL LTS panel.
A white wing inspection light is installed on each side of the fuselage just forward of the
wing. The lights are controlled by a WING switch on the EXTERNAL LTS panel. The
light allows the pilots to monitor the wing leading edges for ice accumulation.

1. EMERGENCY LIGHTING
Emergency lighting consists of internal and external lighting that is provided for the
passengers and crew in the event of an emergency evacuation from the aircraft.
External emergency lights provides illumination of the overwing evacuation exit paths and
exterior areas around the passenger door and the service door.
Internal emergency lighting provides emergency lighting to the passenger cabin, emergency
exits and interior exit paths. The internal emergency lights include lighted exit signs near the
emergency exits at floor level, at eye level and on the ceiling. There are ceiling flood lights
installed along the length of the passenger compartment and floor-level flood lights at the
passenger and service doors. Electroluminescent green lights, installed along the floor next
to the right side passenger seats, provide illuminated escape path routing to the emergency
exits. The electroluminescent lights have orange overlays at the emergency exits.
Electrical power for all emergency lighting is supplied by four self-contained battery packs.
Each battery pack contains 6 nickel-cadmium batteries (providing 7.2 volts DC) that are
designed to illuminate all emergency light systems for approximately 15 minutes. The
battery packs are supplied with a trickle charge from the DC essential bus.
Emergency lighting is controlled by a cockpit switch on the EMERG LTS panel (located on
the overhead panel) or by a guarded EMERG LIGHTS switch on the forward flight
attendant’s panel. The emergency lights can be manually turned on using either switch.
With the cockpit switch in the ARM position, the emergency lights will come on automatically
whenever DC essential power is lost.

1. INTRODUCTION
S VHF Navigation
Two separate VHF systems are provided for radio navigation and are designed and installed
so that the failure of one system does not prevent the operation of the other. Both systems
are connected to the onside and cross-side flight compartment displays and controls.
The navigation receivers are tuned by two radio tuning units and navigation data is
displayed on the primary flight displays (PFD’s) and multifunctional displays (MFD’s).
Frequency selection is accomplished through the two radio tuning units. In the event of a
failure of one or both radio tuning units, radio communication and navigation can be
controlled by the backup tuning unit.
Display control panels permit control over the multifunctional display formats, navigation
source and bearing source display.
The flight management system (FMS) is an integrated navigation system that provides
worldwide point--to--point and great circle navigation. The FMS can be used for:
S Non-precision approaches
The FMS consists of a flight management computer, located in the avionics compartment,
and a control display unit located in the center console. The flight management computer
collects information from the navigation sensors and performs all computations, control and
command functions. The control display unit provides the pilot interface for data input and
control functions, and provides display of functions, modes and flight data. Pictorial data is
displayed on the multifunctional displays. <0050>

The system uses all available sensors and provides the pilot with control of which sensors
are used in the position computation. If no sensor data is available, the system continues to
estimate a dead reckoning position using heading and true airspeed.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system that computes the
position of the aircraft relative to orbiting satellites. The GPS provides highly accurate
three-dimensional position, velocity and time information to the integrated avionics processor
system (IAPS). The FMS control display units provides the pilots with access to GPS data
and control settings. GPS information is displayed on the multifunctional displays.
The GPS consists of a receiver and antenna. The antenna supplies signals to the receiver
which processes the signals and supplies continuous navigation updates to the attitude
heading reference system (AHRS) and to the flight management system (FMS) The FMS
uses the GPS and other available navigation and position sensors to provide navigation,
position information and guidance.<0047>
The GPS consists of a receiver and antenna. The antenna supplies signals to the receiver
which processes the signals and supplies continuous navigation updates to the inertial
reference system (IRS) and to the flight management system (FMS) The FMS uses the
GPS and other available navigation and position sensors to provide navigation, position
information and guidance.<0025><0047>
The GPS consists of two receivers and two antennas. The antennas supply signals to their
respective receivers which process the signals and supply continuous navigation updates to

The GPS employs 24 satellites, with each satellite transmitting time and orbital position
signals. The receiver decodes the signals and computes time, range, and position of the
aircraft and other navigation parameters. The GPS satellites are controlled by a master
control station in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. The receiver is a fifteen--channel unit
that is capable of tracking up to twelve satellites but must track at least four satellites to
measure the corresponding ranges.
The FMS control display unit provides the pilots with access to GPS data and control
settings. GPS information is displayed on the multifunctional displays.

1. VHF NAVIGATION
There are two VHF navigation systems installed on the aircraft. The systems are identified
as VHF/NAV 1 and VHF/NAV 2. The systems provide the following functions:
S Localizer/glideslope (LOC/GS)
Frequency tuning and mode selection can be done by two radio tuning units, a single
backup tuning unit or by the FMS control display unit. The radio tuning units (RTU’s) are the
primary radio communication system radio tuning source. (Refer to Chapter 5,
Communications, for information on the radios and backup tuning unit).
S VOR frequencies -- All even frequencies from 108.00 to 111.90 MHz and all frequencies
from 112.00 to 117.95
The NAV receivers monitor the selected VOR stations and provide enroute and terminal
area navigation. The VOR data is displayed on the pilots and copilots PFD and MFD.
In LOC and GS modes, the NAV receivers supply final approach guidance data. Localizer
signals are monitored for horizontal deviation and glideslope signals are monitored for
vertical deviation. When the navigation receiver is tuned to a localizer frequency, the paired
glideslope frequency is automatically tuned. The LOC/GS data is displayed on the pilots
and copilots PFD and MFD.
The Marker Beacon (MB) system provides information on distance to the runway. The MB
antennas receive signals from the outer, middle and inner MB ground transmitters. The
signals are then supplied to the receivers. MB information is displayed on the pilots and
copilots PFD. MB sensitivity can be adjusted at the radio tuning units.
The VHF/NAV system also supplies VOR/LOC and MB station identification to the audio
integrating system.

There are two identical distance measuring equipment (DME) systems installed in the
aircraft. The DME system computes and displays the straight line distance between the
aircraft and a selected DME ground station. The DME system also provides ground speed,
time to station and station identification.
There are two DME transceivers installed in the avionics compartment that operate in the
frequency range of 962 to 1213 MHz with a range of 300 nautical miles at 30,000 feet. Each
transceiver has three channels and can track up to three stations simultaneously. Channel 1
of each DME is paired with the onside VOR and can be manually tuned by either the radio
tuning units, or backup tuning unit.
The DME transceiver is also tuned automatically by the FMS through the RTU. If Autotune
is selected on the control display unit, the FMS will automatically tune VOR/DME channel 1.
<0024><0050>
The DME transceivers interrogate the ground station at regular intervals. The ground station
sends replies with a signal that is above or below the airborne DME frequency by 63 MHz.
When a reply is received by the DME, it measures the elapsed time between the transmitted
signal and the reply, then computes the slant distance, ground speed and time--to--go to the
ground station.
The DME hold function splits the paired tuning between DME and VHF navigation systems
to enable independent operation. The DME hold function holds the DME transceiver to the
current VHF navigation frequency and permits the VHF navigation receiver to be
independently tuned. The DME frequency can also be tuned independently while the VHF
navigation receiver is kept at the current frequency.
Frequency tuning and DME hold selections are through the radio tuning units. The DME
frequency channels are paired with the VHF navigation channels. The frequency selection
is done with the pilot’s or copilot’s RTUs in the frequency range of 108.00 to 117.95 MHz.
Station audio is monitored through the audio control panels. Visual indications of tuned
stations, distance readouts and DME hold indications are provided on the primary flight
displays and multifunctional displays.

The traffic alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS) is an airborne system that
interrogates the air traffic control transponders of nearby aircraft to identify and display
potential and predicted collision threats. TCAS surveillance range is up to 40 nautical miles
and can detect and track up to 30 aircraft simultaneously. The system computes range,
bearing and closure rates of other transponder equipped aircraft.
A mode “S” Transponder provides air-to-air communications for coordinating the resolution
maneuvers between TCAS equipped aircraft. The TCAS system provides no indication of
traffic conflicts if the intruder aircraft is without an operative transponder.
TCAS provides symbology that depicts surrounding aircraft in terms of relative altitude,
range, clock position, and vertical rate. The flight compartment displays also provide data
on closure rates. The system displays four types of traffic.
The display control panels are used to activate TCAS and to set range display. Weather
radar data can be overlaid on the multifunctional display, in TCAS mode.
TCAS mode and altitude format are displayed on the top level page of the radio tuning units.
Testing and setting changes are made on the TCAS main page.

A. Traffic Advisory
The traffic advisory (TA) is issued to indicate the relative positions of intruding aircraft
that are about 40 seconds from the closest point of approach.
Traffic advisories are displayed on the MFD (in TCAS mode) and shows the relative
position of nearby ATC transponder equipped aircraft.
The traffic advisory allows the flight crew an opportunity to visually locate the intruding
aircraft. The advisory is always displayed on the PFDs or can be displayed on the
TCAS page of the MFD if selected from the display control panel.
TA ONLY (Traffic advisory only) will be displayed automatically when the aircraft is 1000
feet or below, and will revert to pre-selected mode automatically when the aircraft is
above 1000 feet.
B. Resolution Advisory
Resolution advisories (RA) will direct the flight crew to resolve a threat by executing an
aircraft maneuver that will increase separation. This occurs when the TCAS computer
predicts that the intruding aircraft is within about 25 seconds from the closest point of
approach.
Resolution advisories are displayed on the vertical speed indicator (VSI) portion of the
PFD. The VSI shows the appropriate vertical maneuver to avoid the threat. The VSI
provides vertical guidance to maintain safe vertical separation as follows:
S Corrective RAs -- Fly from the red zone to the green zone

The enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS) is used to help prevent accidents
caused by unsafe flight maneuvers in proximity of terrain or severe windshear. EGPWS
provides the flight crew with aural alerts, messages and visual annunciations in the event
that the boundaries of the following alerting envelopes are exceeded: <0040>
S Mode 6 Callouts (descent below minimums, altitude callouts and bank angle alert)
Radar information is displayed on the multifunctional displays by pressing the RDR button
on the display control panel.
Radar or terrain information is displayed on the multifunctional displays by pressing the RDR
/ TERR button on the display control panel. <0040>
Mode 1 alerts are generated when the aircraft has an excessive descent rate close to
the terrain. Mode 1 has two boundaries. Penetration of outer boundary activates the
flashing GPWS lights and generates a SINKRATE, SINKRATE aural alert. Penetrating
the inner boundary activates the flashing GPWS lights and the repeated WHOOP,
WHOOP, PULL UP aural, until the inner warning boundary has been exited.
Mode 1 is used for the approach phase of flight and is independent of the aircraft
configuration. Mode 1 alerts are generated when the aircraft has an excessive descent
rate close to the terrain. Mode 1 has two boundaries. Penetration of the outer
boundary activates the flashing GND PROX lights and generates a SINKRATE,
SINKRATE aural alert. Penetrating the inner boundary activates the flashing PULL UP
lights and the repeated WHOOP, WHOOP, PULL UP aural, until the inner warning
boundary has been exited. <0040>
Mode 2 alerts are generated when the aircraft is closing with terrain at an excessive
rate. Mode 2 has two sub-modes referred to as Mode 2A and Mode 2B. Mode 2A is
active during climbout, cruise, and initial approach (flaps not in landing configuration
and the aircraft is not on glideslope centerline). Penetrating the outer boundary
activates the GPWS lights and generates the TERRAIN, TERRAIN aural. Continued
penetration of the envelope will activate the GPWS lights and generate a repeated
WHOOP, WHOOP PULL UP aural.
Mode 2 alerts are generated when the aircraft is closing with terrain at an excessive
rate. Mode 2 has two sub-modes referred to as Mode 2A and Mode 2B. Mode 2A is
active during climbout, cruise, and initial approach (flaps not in landing configuration
and the aircraft is not on glideslope centerline). Penetrating the outer boundary
activates the GND PROX lights and generates the TERRAIN, TERRAIN aural.
Continued penetration of the envelope will activate the PULL UP lights and generate a
repeated WHOOP, WHOOP PULL UP aural.<0040>
Upon leaving the PULL UP warning area, if terrain clearance continues to decrease, the
TERRAIN aural will be generated until terrain clearance stops decreasing. The GPWS
lights will remain on until 300 feet of barometric altitude has been achieved, or 45
seconds has elapsed, or the GPWS FLAP OVRD has been selected, or the flaps are in
a landing configuration.
Upon leaving the PULL UP warning area, if terrain clearance continues to decrease, the
TERRAIN aural will be generated until terrain clearance stops decreasing. The GND
PROX lights will remain on until 300 feet of barometric altitude has been achieved, or
45 seconds has elapsed, or the GND PROX FLAP OVRD has been selected, or the
flaps are in a landing configuration. <0040>
Mode 2B is activated when flaps are in landing configuration, when making an ILS
approach with glideslope and localizer deviation less than 2 dots, and for the first 60
seconds after take-off. Penetration of the Mode 2B boundary with either gear or flaps
not in a landing configuration, activates the GPWS lights and generates a TERRAIN,
TERRAIN aural. If the aircraft continues to penetrate the boundary the GPWS lights
are activated and a WHOOP, WHOOP PULL UP aural is repeated until the warning
envelope is exited.
Mode 2B is activated when flaps are in landing configuration, when making an ILS
approach with glideslope and localizer deviation less than 2 dots, and for the first 60
seconds after take-off. Penetration of the Mode 2B boundary with either gear or flaps
not in a landing configuration, activates the GND PROX lights and generates a
TERRAIN, TERRAIN aural. If the aircraft continues to penetrate the boundary the
PULL UP lights are activated and a WHOOP, WHOOP PULL UP aural is repeated until
the warning envelope is exited. <0040>
If the aircraft penetrates the Mode 2B boundary with both gear and flaps in a landing
configuration, the GPWS lights are activated and a TERRAIN aural is repeated until the
envelope is exited.
If the aircraft penetrates the Mode 2B boundary with both gear and flaps in a landing
configuration, the GND PROX lights are activated and a TERRAIN aural is repeated
until the envelope is exited.<0040>
Mode 3 provides alerts when the aircraft loses a significant amount of altitude after
take-off, or low altitude go-around with gear or flaps not in a landing configuration. The
amount of altitude loss permitted before an alert is generated depends on the height of
the aircraft above the terrain.
The alert activates the GPWS lights and generates a DON’T SINK, DON’T SINK aural.
The DON’T SINK, DON’T SINK aural is only repeated if the altitude loss continues. The
GPWS lights will go out once a positive rate of climb is achieved.
The alert activates the GND PROX lights and generates a DON’T SINK, DON’T SINK
aural. The DON’T SINK, DON’T SINK aural is only repeated if the altitude loss
continues. The GND PROX lights will go out once a positive rate of climb is achieved.
<0040>
Mode 4 provides alerts for insufficient terrain clearance with respect to phase of flight,
configuration and speed. Mode 4 has three sub-modes referred to as Mode 4A, Mode
4B and Mode 4C.
Mode 4A is active during cruise and approach with the gear and flaps not in the landing
configuration. The boundary for Mode 4A is 500 feet radio altitude and increases
linearly with airspeed, to a maximum of 1000 feet radio altitude. If the envelope is
penetrated at less than 190 knots, the GPWS lights flash and the TOO LOW GEAR
aural alert is generated. If the envelope is penetrated at more than 190 knots, the
GPWS lights flash and a TOO LOW TERRAIN aural alert is generated.
Mode 4A is active during cruise and approach with the gear and flaps not in the landing
configuration. The boundary for Mode 4A is 500 feet radio altitude and increases
linearly with airspeed, to a maximum of 1000 feet radio altitude. If the envelope is
penetrated at less than 190 knots, the GND PROX lights flash and the TOO LOW
GEAR aural alert is generated. If the envelope is penetrated at more than 190 knots,
the GND PROX lights flash and a TOO LOW TERRAIN aural alert is generated. <0040>
Mode 4B is active during cruise and approach, with gear down and flaps not in the
landing configuration. The boundary for Mode 4B is 245 feet radio altitude and
increases linearly with airspeed, to a maximum of 1000 feet radio altitude. If the
envelope is penetrated at less than 159 knots, the GPWS lights flash and the TOO
LOW FLAPS aural is generated. The flight crew may override the TOO LOW FLAPS
alert by selecting the GPWS FLAP OVRD. If the envelope is penetrated at more than
159 knots, the GND PROX lights flash and the TOO LOW TERRAIN aural alert is
generated.
Mode 4B is active during cruise and approach, with gear down and flaps not in the
landing configuration. The boundary for Mode 4B is 245 feet radio altitude and
increases linearly with airspeed, to a maximum of 1000 feet radio altitude. If the
envelope is penetrated at less than 159 knots, the GND PROX lights flash and the TOO
LOW FLAPS aural is generated. The flight crew may override the TOO LOW FLAPS
alert by selecting the GND PROX FLAP OVRD. If the envelope is penetrated at more
than 159 knots, the GND PROX lights flash and the TOO LOW TERRAIN aural alert is
generated. <0040>
Mode 4C is active during the take-off phase with either gear or flaps not in the landing
configuration. Mode 4C alerts the pilot when the terrain is rising more steeply than the
aircraft is climbing. Mode 4C is based upon a minimum terrain clearance floor, that
increases with radio altitude. If the aircraft radio altitude decreases to the value of the
minimum terrain clearance floor, the GPWS lights flash and the TOO LOW TERRAIN
aural is generated.
Mode 4C is active during the take-off phase with either gear or flaps not in the landing
configuration. Mode 4C alerts the pilot when the terrain is rising more steeply than the
aircraft is climbing. Mode 4C is based upon a minimum terrain clearance floor, that
increases with radio altitude. If the aircraft radio altitude decreases to the value of the
minimum terrain clearance floor, the GND PROX lights flash and the TOO LOW
TERRAIN aural is generated. <0040>
The GPWS lights will continue to flash until the alert envelope is exited. Subsequent
alerts will only occur if the envelope penetration increases by 20%.
The GND PROX lights will continue to flash until the alert envelope is exited.
Subsequent alerts will only occur if the envelope penetration increases by 20%. <0040>
Mode 5 provides two levels of alerting during airplane descents below the glideslope on
front course ILS approaches.
The first alert level occurs when the aircraft is more than 1.3 dots below the glideslope
and is called a “soft” alert. The GPWS lights flash and the GLIDESLOPE aural is
generated at approximately one half the volume of other aurals.
The first alert level occurs when the aircraft is more than 1.3 dots below the glideslope
and is called a “soft” alert. The GND PROX lights flash and the GLIDESLOPE aural is
generated at approximately one half the volume of other aurals. <0040>
The second alert level occurs when the aircraft is below 300 feet radio altitude and is
more than 2 dots below the glideslope and is called a “hard” alert. The GPWS lights
flash and the GLIDESLOPE aural is generated at the normal aural volume.
The second alert level occurs when the aircraft is below 300 feet radio altitude and is
more than 2 dots below the glideslope and is called a “hard” alert. The GND PROX
lights flash and the GLIDESLOPE aural is generated at the normal aural volume. <0040>
The GPWS lights will go out once the glideslope deviation is less than 1.3 dots.
The GND PROX lights will go out once the glideslope deviation is less than 1.3 dots.
<0040>
Mode 5 can be inhibited by pushing either GPWS / G/S light while the aircraft is below
1000 feet radio altitude. Modes 1 through 4 aurals have priority over Mode 5 aurals.
Mode 5 can be inhibited by pushing either PULL UP / GND PROX light while the aircraft
is below 2000 feet radio altitude. Modes 1 through 4 aurals have priority over Mode 5
aurals. <0040>
F. Mode 6 -- Callouts
Radio altitude transition through the highest DH selected for display on either
PFD prompts a minimums---type aural. The function is enabled between 1000
and 10 feet AGL. The landing gear must be down to activate the callouts.
Radio altitude transition through the highest DH selected for display on either
PFD prompts a minimums---type aural. The function is enabled between 1000
and 10 feet AGL. Barometric altitude transition through the highest MDA selected
for display on either PFD also prompts a minimums---type aural. MDA callout
generation is enabled once the corrected altitude exceeds the MDA value by 200
feet. If both DH and MDA have been selected, the callout will be generated
based on DH. The landing gear must be down to activate the callouts. <0040>
The altitude callout function generates aurals for descent below predetermined
altitudes. Altitude callouts are generated only once and are reset by ascending to
1000 feet, or in the event that a transition from approach mode to take-off mode
occurs.
Excessive bank angle alerting is a function of roll angle with respect to altitude
above ground level. Upon penetration of the alert envelope boundaries, the
BANK ANGLE, BANK ANGLE aural is generated. The aural is issued once, and
only repeated if the roll angle increases by 20%. <0040>
Mode 7 monitors for windshear conditions during take-off and final approach between
radio altitudes of 10 to 1500 feet.
Windshear cautions and warnings are triggered for tail wind and down draft conditions.
Windshear warnings generate a siren, a WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR
aural and a red WINDSHEAR warning on the primary flight displays (PFDs).
Windshear alerts are triggered for headwind and updraft conditions. Windshear alerts
generate an amber WINDSHEAR alert on the PFDs.
Flight director command bars provide escape guidance automatically when a windshear
warning occurs or when the TOGA (take-off/go-around) switch(s) on the thrust levers
are pressed. Pitch limit indicators (alpha-margin indicators) will appear on both primary
flight displays for a windshear warning or alert.
The autopilot is automatically disengaged two seconds after windshear warning (if the
autopilot is not already disengaged). During those two seconds, the autopilot will follow
the windshear escape guidance.
Windshear warnings take priority over all other aural alerts and warnings, except a stall
warning.

The terrain awareness alerting function uses airplane geographical position, aircraft
altitude, and a terrain database to predict potential conflicts between the aircraft flight
path and the terrain.
Terrain data is displayed on the multifunctional displays by pressing RDR / TERR on the
display control panel. The terrain display can be overlaid on the multifunctional display
in navaid sector and present position map formats. The terrain display is depicted as
variable density dot patterns in green, yellow or red. The density and colour are a
function of how close the terrain is relative to airplane altitude. When the conditions for
either a terrain awareness caution or warning are detected, the terrain display
automatically “pops-up” on both multifunctional displays and the range defaults to
10nm. Terrain more than 2000 feet below the airplane, or within 400 feet (vertical) of
the nearest runway elevation is not displayed.
When the airplane penetrates the caution envelope boundary, the GND PROX lights
flash and the CAUTION TERRAIN, CAUTION TERRAIN aural is generated. Terrain
caution areas are shown in solid yellow on the terrain display.
When the aircraft penetrates the warning envelope boundary, the PULL UP lights flash
and the TERRAIN, TERRAIN, PULL UP aural is generated. Terrain warning areas are
shown in solid red on the terrain display.
Peaks mode allows terrain below the aircraft to be viewed on the terrain display during
cruise flight. At altitudes safely above all terrain for the display range chosen, the
terrain is displayed, independent of aircraft altitude, emphasizing the highest and lowest
elevations to provide increased situational awareness in the event of unplanned decent
or enroute deviation and for previewing terrain prior to decent.
Two elevation numbers indicating the highest and lowest terrain currently being
displayed are overlaid on the display. The elevation numbers indicate terrain in
hundreds of feet above sea level (MSL).
Terrain clearance floor is an increasing terrain clearance envelope around the nearest
runway directly related to the distance from that runway. Terrain clearance floor alerts
are based upon current airplane position, nearest runway centre point position, radio
altitude, and a database of hard-surfaced runways whose length is greater than 3500
feet. Terrain clearance floor compliments Mode 4 alerts by covering insufficient terrain
clearance even when in a landing configuration.
Penetration of the alert envelope activates the GND PROX lights and generates a TOO
LOW TERRAIN aural. The aural will occur once upon initial envelope penetration and
one time thereafter for each 20% degradation in altitude. The GND PROX lights remain
on until the aircraft exits the alert envelope.

The weather radar system provides the flight crew with X--band color display of radar
detectable precipitation and ground mapping along the aircraft’s flight path. System range is
up to 320 nautical miles and up to 60 degrees on either side of the aircraft’s flight path. The
weather radar control panel provides control of the following:
S Antenna elevation control (±15_) in either automatic tilt or manual tilt (0.25_
increments)
The display control panel is used to select the weather radar format on the multifunctional
displays (MFDs). The weather radar data can also be overlaid in navaid sector, present
position map and TCAS modes.
Split scan operation enables both pilots to control the radar display on their respective
MFDs. Each side will operate independently, except that either pilot can control the sector
scan of both displays. In split scan operation, the clockwise sweep of the antenna updates
the pilot’s display and the counterclockwise sweep updates the copilot”s display. If one side
is turned off, the system reverts to single scan operation. <0028>

1. INTRODUCTION
The low pressure system is supplied bleed air from the 10th stage of both engine
compressors. The 10th stage air is used to supply air for the left and right environmental
control systems, for pressurization and for engine starting. The APU bleed air system or
high pressure air from a ground air source can also be used to meet these requirements.
Normally, each engine supplies the user system on the respective side but, if the 10th stage
bleed air supply is lost from one side, a bleed isolation valve is provided for cross--bleeding
from the operable side.
The environmental control system can also receive conditioned air from a ground air cart.
<0007>
The high pressure system is supplied hot bleed air from the 14th stage of both engine
compressors. The 14th stage bleed air is used to supply the requirements of the wing and
cowl anti--ice systems and for thrust reverser operations. Normally, each engine supplies
the user system on the respective side but, if the 14th stage bleed air supply is lost from one
side, a wing isolation valve is provided for cross--bleeding from the operable side.
The bleed air leak detection system monitors the pneumatic ducting for high temperature
bleed air leaks. When the system detects a leak, visual warnings are displayed and aural
warnings sound to alert the crew to turn off the affected system.

The engine supplies both low (10th stage) and high (14th stage) pressure bleed air
from the compressors to the low and high pressure manifolds.
The low pressure bleed air manifold receives pressurized air from:
The high pressure bleed air manifold receives pressurized air from the engine
compressors 14th stage.
High pressure operated aircraft systems include the wing anti---ice, cowl anti---ice
and thrust reverser systems. Bleed air to the high pressure manifold is through
the respective L/R 14th stage bleed air shutoff valves. The shutoff valves are
normally open but can be closed by selecting the 14TH STAGE bleed air
switchlights on the BLEED AIR control panel. The left and right wing anti---ice
systems normally operate independently but can be connected by a wing
isolation shutoff valve which is controlled by the 14TH STAGE ISOL switchlight on
the BLEED AIR control panel.
The APU can be used on the ground to supply the low pressure manifold with bleed air
for air-conditioning or engine starting. The APU can also be used in flight, to supply
bleed air for engine starting (double engine failure) to a maximum altitude of 13,000 ft.
and to supply the air--conditioning system to a maximum of 15,000 ft. When the APU is
selected as the bleed air source, the bleed air is supplied through the APU load control
valve (LCV) to the left bleed air manifold. The APU LCV is controlled by a switchlight
on the BLEED AIR control panel. The 10TH STAGE bleed isolation valve must be
opened to pressurize the right manifold. The APU ECU modulates the LCV to limit APU
exhaust gas temperature and to prevent compressor surges.

The high pressure ground connection is located on the aft left side of the fuselage
below No.1 engine. External high pressure air from a ground power cart can be used to
pressurize the 10th stage bleed air manifold with compressed air for engine starting.
The external air pressure is indicated on the EICAS, ECS synoptic page.
NOTE
The bleed air leak detection system monitors the 10th and 14th stage pneumatic and
anti-ice ducting for high temperatures associated with bleed air leakage. EICAS messages
and system control is provided by two bleed leak detection control units, one for the left
bleed system and one for the right bleed system. A test switch on the BLEED AIR control
panel is used to check for continuity in the leak detection system.
Overheat sensing elements are installed along the entire length of the 10th and 14th stage
ducting in the fuselage and pylon areas. The 10th stage bleed air system is monitored by
dual--loop overheat detectors and the 14th stage is monitored by a single--loop overheat
detection system. The wing anti--ice system uses single--loop detectors in the fuselage and
thermal switches in the wing leading edges. The dual sensing loops are used to ensure
dispatch reliability and to minimize system false warnings. To prevent false indications, both
loops must detect a leak before an EICAS message is posted. The supply ducting is
encased in a protective cover. If a leak occurs, holes in the protective cover will direct the
hot bleed air towards the sensing loops.
For normal wing anti--icing, hot bleed air from the 14th stage supply ducting is released
through piccolo tubes to heat the wing leading edges. Thermal switches in the leading edge
of each wing are used to detect leaks in the wing leading edge anti-ice ducting.

1. INTRODUCTION
The aircraft is equipped with two General Electric CF34--3A1 high bypass ratio turbofan
engines which have a normal take-off thrust rating of 8,729 pounds flat rated at 21_C (70_F).
In the event of an engine failure during takeoff, an automatic power reserve (APR) system,
will increase the thrust on the remaining engine to 9,220 pounds.
The aircraft is equipped with two General Electric CF34--3B1 high bypass ratio turbofan
engines which have a normal take-off thrust rating of 8,729 pounds flat rated at 30_C (86_F).
In the event of an engine failure during takeoff, an automatic power reserve (APR) system,
will increase the thrust on the remaining engine to 9,220 pounds.<0005>
The engine is a dual rotor assembly consisting of a fan rotor (N1) and a compressor rotor
(N2). The N1 rotor consists of a single-stage fan connected through a shaft to a 4-stage low
pressure turbine. The N2 rotor is a 14-stage axial flow compressor connected through a
shaft to a 2-stage high pressure turbine.
For normal engine function, intake airflow is accelerated through the single-stage N1 fan and
is divided into two airflow paths:
S Bypass air -- Air that is ducted around the engine to produce approximately 85% of the
engine thrust. On landing, thrust reversers are used to direct the bypass air forward to
assist in braking.
S Core air -- Air that enters the engine core section is compressed, mixed with fuel and
ignited. The expanding hot gases pass through the high pressure turbine which drives
the compressor. Air from the high pressure turbine passes through the low pressure
turbine which drives the N1 fan. The exhaust gases are then accelerated through the
exhaust nozzle to produce a portion of engine thrust.
A variable geometry (VG) system regulates airflow through the compressor by changing the
position of the compressor inlet guide vane and the variable geometry stator vanes on the
first five stages of the compressor. This is done to prevent compressor stall and surge by
optimizing the angle of attack of the vanes. The VG system is controlled by the fuel control
unit (FCU) which uses high pressure fuel to hydraulically move two actuators which are
mechanically linked to the VG system.
The engine fuel control system consists of a hydromechanical core engine speed (N2)
governing system and an electrical fan speed (N1) governing system. The engine is on N2
governing at low power settings and on N1 governing at high power settings.
An accessory gearbox, mounted on the engine, is driven by the N2 rotor. The following
components are mounted on and driven by accessory gearbox:
S Alternator (provides N2 speed indication and powers the fuel electronic control unit)
S Hydraulic pump

Introduction
1. THRUST CONTROL
The thrust control system supplies the control signals for engine operation. The flight
compartment quadrant assembly consists of two thrust levers, two thrust reverser levers,
friction knob and internal locks and stops to control the engines in the forward and reverse
thrust ranges. (see section 20--70 of this chapter for the thrust reverser system).
The thrust levers control the application of power in the forward thrust range and have lever
settings of SHUTOFF, IDLE AND MAX POWER. Release latches (painted red) are located
behind each thrust lever. The release latches are used to remove the mechanical locks that
guard against inadvertent movement of the thrust levers to SHUTOFF.
A mechanical interlock built into the thrust levers, prevents reverse selection by the thrust
reverser levers until the throttles are at the idle position.
The thrust levers are connected by cable systems to the associated engine fuel control unit.
The thrust levers mechanically control power from idle to takeoff and reverse.
For electronic fuel contol, the thrust lever positions are monitored by transformers that are
housed in the quadrant. The thrust lever position information is provided to an N1 amplifier.
The amplifier uses the information to supply inputs to the fuel control unit to adjust the fuel
schedule relative to throttle position and ambient conditions. Electronic fuel control is only
effective at engine speeds greater than 79% N1, such as on takeoff, climb or in cruise.
An auto--retarding thrust mechanism ensures that the throttle lever is at IDLE whenever the
thrust reverser is in transit. In flight, if a thrust reverser is inadvertently deployed, the
affected throttle lever is automatically retarded to IDLE to minimize asymmetric thrust.
A switching unit, located below the quadrant, contains four switches for each thrust lever:
S Takeoff configuration switch -- provides a warning when the thrust levers are
advanced for takeoff and the spoilers are not in the takeoff configuration.
S Pressurization control switch -- On the ground, when the thrust levers are
advanced to approximately 80% N1, the pressurization system begins cabin
pre--pressurization.
S Landing configuration switch -- In flight, when the thrust levers are retarded
towards IDLE, a warning is initiated if the landing gear is not extended.
S Thrust reverser deploy switch -- Allows the thrust reversers to deploy through
signals from the thrust levers at idle and wheel spin--up.
A take--off go--around (TOGA) button, located on each forward thrust lever, can be used by
the flight crew to reset the flight director for go--around.

A. Starting System
Pressurized air and DC electrical power are required for starter operation. The engines
can be started using air from the auxiliary power unit (APU) or from a ground air source.
A minimum supply pressure of 40 psi is required for engine start. The engines can also
be started using 10th stage cross bleed air from a running engine. For cross bleed
starting, the running engine N2 must be above 85%. Pneumatic pressure indications
are displayed on the EICAS ECS synoptic page.
When the engine START switchlight is pressed, the start control valve opens and allows
pressure from the 10th stage manifold to rotate the air turbine starter. The starter
drives the engine accessory gearbox, which in turn drives the engine N2 core section.
When the engine has accelerated to 20% N2 rpm, the thrust levers are advanced to the
IDLE position to turn on the fuel, resulting in engine light--off. As the engine
accelerates to the on speed condition, the starter will cut-out at 55% N2 rpm.
B. Ignition System
The engine ignition system provides high--energy electrical sparking to ignite the fuel/air
mixture in the combustion chamber during engine start. The system also provides
continuous ignition during icing conditions, in-flight restarts and/or when the aircraft
approaches a high angle of attack (stall).
Each engine has two independently controlled AC ignition systems. Each system (A
and B) consists of two ignition exciters and two igniter plugs. Ignition system A is
powered form the AC essential bus and ignition system B is powered from the battery
bus through a static inverter. Each system supplies electrical power to fire a dedicated
igniter in both engines. The engines are normally started using only one of the systems
as selected by the flight crew (A on even days and B on odd days). The ignitors may
be selected on one at a time (either IGN--A or IGN--B) or as a pair.
Continuous ignition can be activated manually by selecting the CONT switchlight on the
Start/Ignition panel which will activate both ignition systems on both engines.
Continuous ignition is used for the following flight conditions:

1. OIL SYSTEM
Each engine has an independent lubrication supply system consisting of an oil pump and an
oil reservoir which is integral to the accessory gearbox. The pressure pump draws oil from
the reservoir and supplies it to the various engine components for cooling and lubrication.
The usable oil quantity is 7 U.S. quarts (6.6 liters).
The lubrication system is pressurized by the main lube pump. Oil flows from the main pump,
passes through an oil filter and the oil/fuel heat exchanger. The oil then continues through
the engine, for cooling and lubricating, then to the engine sumps. Scavenge pumps return
the oil to the reservoir after passing through a chip detector and de-aerator.
Sensors for oil pressure and temperature indications are located on the forward side of the
oil tank. A chip detector is also mounted on the accessory gearbox in the scavenge oil
return line.
The engine oil system is monitored for oil temperature and oil pressure. The oil system
indications include analog pressure gauges, temperature and pressure digital readouts and
low oil pressure warning messages that are displayed on the EICAS primary page. Oil filter
impending bypass and chip detector indications are provided on the engine fault panel in the
aft equipment compartment.
During engine start, the oil pressure indications on the EICAS primary page are displayed
with an analog gauge and a digital readout. When both engines are started and oil pressure
is normal, the oil pressure gauges revert to N1 vibration gauges. The digital oil pressure
indication remains.
NOTE
Filling of the engine oil tanks is provided by a remote oil replenishment tank located in the aft
equipment compartment.

The engine oil level indication system provides a means of checking (from the flight
compartment) if the engine oil tanks are full at engine shutdown after flight. The level
indication system is operated on the ground as a post--shutdown checklist item. The
engine oil level panel is located on the pilots side console and consists of:
NOTE
1. The engine oil tank level is verified within three minutes and 2
hours after shutdown.
2. For aircraft operations in excess of 16 operating hours (without
engine oil tank servicing), the engine oil level must be checked
from the flight compartment ENGINE OIL LEVEL panel.
The engine oil replenishment system is located in the aft equipment bay. The system
enables the engine oil tanks to be filled remotely. The system includes a storage tank
with sight glass level indicator, an electric pump, a control panel and an engine
(manual) selector valve. The engine oil tank can also be refilled through a oil filler cap
on the oil tank.
NOTE
1. The maximum refill allowable is 1890 cubic centiliters (2 U.S.
quarts) without dry motoring the engine.
2. If the oil system has been replenished to maximum capacity
and the replenishment period has been exceeded, the
engine(s) must be dry motored.
3. The instruction placard for filling the engine oil tanks is located
below the replenishment oil tank.

1. FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel from the collector tanks is supplied to the respective engine fuel pump unit by a main
ejector or an electrical booster pump, through the engine fuel feed shutoff valve.
Engine fuel distribution is controlled by a gearbox-driven fuel pump unit and a mechanical
fuel control unit (FCU). Pressurized fuel from the centrifugal pump goes through the heat
exchanger and a filter then back to the fuel pump unit. The fuel/oil heat exchanger uses hot
engine oil to heat the combustion fuel and cold fuel to cool the engine oil.
The supply fuel pressure is then increased by the primary pump and then sent to the FCU
metering circuit and variable geometry (VG) actuator circuit. Fuel metered by the FCU is
then supplied to the combustion chamber via the fuel flow transmitter.
The FCU is a hydromechanical metering unit that supplies fuel in response to mechanical
commands from the thrust levers. During engine start and at low power settings the FCU
hydromechanically schedules the fuel to control N2 speed. At high power settings, the N1
amplifier trims the MFC fuel schedule. The FCU has two metering schedules, N2 speed
control and N1 speed control:
S N2 speed control -- At low power settings, the FCU hydromechanically controls N2 speed
relative to thrust lever position
S N1 speed control -- At takeoff, climb and cruise power, (with the speed switches selected
ON) the MFC electronically controls N1 above 79%.
NOTE
CAUTION
Eighteen dual-orifice (primary and secondary) fuel injectors are installed on each engine.
The primary orifice is used to spray fuel into the combustor at low power settings. At power
settings above idle, the secondary orifice is opened and both the primary and secondary
orifices spray fuel into the combustor.
Combustion fuel can be shut off by moving the thrust lever to the shutoff position or by
selecting the related engine fire push switchlight. Moving the thrust lever to the shutoff
position closes the FCU shutoff valve. The engine fire push switchlight closes the engine
fuel feed shutoff valve.
Fuel pressure is used to control and actuate the operability bleed valve and variable
geometry linkages for engine compressor surge and stall protection.
The operability bleed valve vents excess air overboard and the VG system varies the
position of the compressor inlet guide vanes and the first five stages of the stator vanes to
regulate air through the engine. Fuel metered by the FCU drives the VG actuators which
position the vanes open as engine speed increases and toward close as engine speed
decreases.
Fuel is also used to actuate and lubricate components within the fuel system.
Fuel that is not used for combustion is returned to the fuel system to provide motive flow
(venturi pressure) for the main and scavenge ejectors in the fuel tanks.

A. Engine Overspeed
An N2 overspeed governor in the MFC trims the fuel flow if the N2 speed exceeds
103%.
N1 speed is normally limited by the N1 amplifier. A red overspeed tick mark is on the
analog scale at 98.6%. If the N1 exceeds 98.6%, the digital readout and pointer turn
red and flash for 4 seconds.
The automatic performance reserve (APR) system (which is part of the DCU logic) provides
automatic engine failure detection and subsequent thrust increase on the good engine
during takeoff and climb. The APR feature is armed when:
S The APR ARM switch, on the ENGINE CONTROL panel, is set to ARM
S Both ENG SPEED switches (on the ENGINE CONTROL panel) are set to ON
When all the above conditions are met, a green APR ARM advisory message is posted on
the EICAS status page.
During takeoff or climb, if the N1 on either engine decreases below 67.6% for any reason,
the DCU’s will supply a signal to the N1 amplifier which will then signal the FCU to increase
the N1 speed 2.3% on the good engine for 5 minutes. The engine with the N1 drop will
revert to N2 mechanical control and will not follow N1 commands An APR icon will also
appear in the center of the N1 gauge of the good engine and the advisory message APR
ARM will be removed. The EICAS will also reset the ITT scale red line on the good engine
from 900 _C to 928_C.
NOTE
The FMS is capable of calculating the N1 thrust limits and displaying them on the EICAS
primary page. The calculations are based on pressure altitude, static air temperature and
indicated airspeed. Calculated N1 thrust limits are provided for:
S Takeoff (TO)
S Go--around (GA)
S Climb (CLB)
S Cruise (CRZ)
The FMS calculated N1 value is selected on the THRUST LIMIT page of the FMS CDU. and
displayed on the primary page as:
S Digital reference
S Caret or doughnut.
The thrust mode annunciation defines the thrust limit that has been selected while the digital
reference provides the value of the setting. Calculated TO, GA and MCT limits are displayed
as a cyan caret. When CRZ is set, the N1 caret is replaced with a white doughnut to
indicate that the setting does not represent the maximum N1 value.
On the ground, the FMS does not calculate the thrust settings until the OAT is entered on
the THRUST LIMITS page. The OAT entered must be followed by a degrees C or F.
Flex power for TO is selected by entering an assumed temperature on the THRUST LIMITS
page. Reduction in takeoff thrust is limited to ensure adequate aircraft performance in the
event of an engine failure. If entering an assumed temperature results in the calculated N1
FLX value being less than the maximum N1 reduction allowed, a LOW TAKEOFF N1 is
displayed on the THRUST LIMITS page and the FLX line remains blank. All FLX power
indications are displayed in magenta to differentiate them from other thrust settings.
The N1 values are influenced by the amount of 10th and 14th bleed air that is used by their
respective systems. The FMS monitors four different bleed air parameters to calculate the
thrust limit:
The ENG BLEED line key can be used to observe changes in N1 values for different bleed
configurations. When the ENG BLEED line key selection does not agree with the BLEED
AIR panel switch positions, the active bleed status value is displayed in amber and the N1
limit is not displayed on the primary page.
The EICAS transmits the displayed N1 value to the FMS. If the calculated FMS N1
reference value and the received N1 differs, the N1 reference is removed from the primary
page and a FMS--EFD N1 DISAGREE message is displayed on the CDU.
The temperature from both ADC’s is also compared by the FMS. If the temperature
difference is more than 3 degrees, the N1 reference is removed from the primary page and a
ADC TEMP DISAGREE message is displayed on the CDU.
Through cross--talk capability, the two FMS compare calculated N1 values, If the N1
reference values differ, the N1 reference is removed from the primary page and a FMS--FMS
N1 DISAGREE message is displayed on the CDU. The EICAS also monitors the values
from the two FMS, and if there is a difference, the N1 reference is removed from the primary
page and a FMS--EFD N1 DISAGREE message is displayed on the CDU. <0024>

1. VIBRATION MONITORING
The N1 fan and the N2 core section are continuously monitored for vibration. A signal
conditioner unit, mounted in the avionics compartment, monitors the vibration levels in each
engine that it receives from N1 fan and N2 core speed sensors. The unit processes the
signals and provides output signals to the DCU’s for display on the EICAS primary page.
The system can be tested using the VIB test switch on the ENGINE CONTROL panel.
The N2 vibration level is only indicated as a VIB icon on the respective N2 gauge when the
vibration level exceeds 1.7 mils.
The N1 fan vibration gauges are only displayed after engine start when both engines are at
idle and the engine oil pressure is normal. When the N1 vibration level exceeds 2.7 mils, the
gauge and pointer color change to amber. When either engine is shutdown or oil pressure is
low, the N1 vibration gauges revert to oil pressure gauges.

The thrust reverser (TR) system is used to assist in stopping the aircraft during landing
rollout or during a rejected/aborted take-off.
The TR system is installed at the discharge end of the fan duct and provides reverse thrust
by redirecting fan bypass air in the forward direction through a series of blocker doors and
cascade vanes. The TR actuating system uses pneumatic pressure from the 14th--stage
bleed air system to deploy and stow the thrust reverser.
The TR system is armed using the thrust reverser LH and RH ARMED switches on the
THRUST REVERSER panel on the center console. The TR system is controlled using the
thrust reverser levers on the thrust lever quadrant.
Each thrust reverser lever is held down in the stow position by a lever lock which is released
by pressing on the release trigger under the reverser handle. Raising the thrust reverser
levers is only possible when the thrust levers are at IDLE. This action simultaneously locks
the forward thrust levers in the IDLE position.
The thrust reverser levers can initially be raised approximately 20_, where they contact a
solenoid stop. The solenoid stop prevents TR lever movement beyond deploy or reverse
idle positions until the reverser assemblies are fully deployed.
NOTE
Once the TR is fully deployed, the TR levers control reverse thrust from idle to maximum
reverse power. Reverse operation shuts off the 14th--stage bleed air. Returning the TR
levers to idle (full down) opens the 14th--stage bleed air and stows the reversers. Once the
reversers are stowed, the thrust levers can be moved forward to increase engine thrust.
NOTE
Emergency stow switches are provided on the TR panel to drive the thrust reverser to the
stow position should the automatic stow system fail.

Two potable water systems store and supply potable water to the galley and lavatory. The
forward water system supplies potable water to the water dispenser and coffee maker in the
galley. The aft water system supplies wash water to the lavatory sink. Both water systems
are controlled from a single control panel located in the galley. Each water system has a
servicing panel located on the right forward and aft external fuselage. Each servicing panel
has controls for filling or draining of the related potable water system.
The lavatory waste system consists of a waste holding tank containing flushing fluid and a
servicing panel. The servicing panel is located on the right aft external fuselage. System
controls are provided to drain, rinse, prime and flush the toilet.

The potable water system stores, supplies and controls the flow of water to the galley and
lavatory. Potable water for the coffee maker, water dispenser and galley wash basin is
stored in the forward water tank. Potable water for the lavatory wash basin is stored in the
aft water tank. Each tank has a water level/temperature probe and a heater. System power
on/off switches, water tank level lights and system circuit breakers are located on the galley
control panel in the galley. The forward and aft water systems are independent, but are
controlled by a single potable water system electronic control unit (ECU) located in the
avionics compartment. The ECU controls the tank heaters, pumps and provides water level
indications to the control panel.
Potable water is supplied to the galley from a single 5 USG (19 LTR) water tank located
under the galley floor. Potable water is supplied to the galley by an ECU controlled pump,
which maintains the water supply line pressure to the galley. The ECU controls the galley
tank heater to maintain the water temperature between 10 to 20_C (50 -- 68_F). Each tank
heater contains a thermal fuse for overheat protection, which removes power to the heater
when it exceeds a preset point and turns on the OVHT light on the galley control panel.
Potable water is supplied to the galley from a single 8 USG (30 LTR) water tank located
under the galley floor. Potable water is supplied to the galley by an ECU controlled pump,
which maintains the water supply line pressure to the galley. The ECU controls the galley
tank heater to maintain the water temperature between 10 to 20_C (50 -- 68_F). Each tank
heater contains a thermal fuse for overheat protection which removes power to the heater
when it exceeds a preset point and turns on the OVHT light on the galley control panel.

Potable water is supplied to the lavatory sink from a single 5 USG (19 LTR) water tank
located in the baggage compartment. Potable water is supplied to the lavatory by a pump
which is controlled by the sink faucet selection. Wash basin water is heated to 25 ±5_C
(77 9_F).
A water level/temperature probe is installed in each tank and supplies level and temperature
information to the ECU. The ECU then uses the information to control the tank heaters and
to illuminate the respective empty, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or full level indicator on the galley control
panel.
Electrical power for the ECU, tank heaters and line heaters is controlled by the respective
galley and lavatory ON/OFF switches on the galley control panel.
Effectivity:
Each system provides drainage of used water overboard through drain masts on the bottom of
the fuselage. All components that could possibly freeze are heated and/or insulated to
maintain the component temperature above the freezing point.
CAUTION
Effectivity:
Each system provides drainage of used water overboard through drain masts on the bottom of
the fuselage. All components that are likely to freeze are heated and/or insulated to maintain
the component temperature abovethe freezing point. The drain mast heaters are continuously
powered from AC utility bus 2. This is done to prevent ice build--up on the drain masts, in
flight, if the galley or lavatory ON/OFF switch is inadvertently selected OFF. Power can be
removed from the drain masts by opening the LINE HTR circuit breakers on the potable water
system control panel or by removing power from AC utility bus 2.
2. SERVICING
Each potable water system has a service panel located on the right side of the external
fuselage. The galley service panel is forward and the lavatory service panel aft. Each
service panel has a water fill port and a control handle.
When the control handle is positioned to the FILL position, water can be pumped into the
system using the fill adapter. When the tank is full, water flows out through the overboard
drain mast. When the control handle is placed in the DRAIN position and pulled, the potable
water is drained from the tank through the drain mast.
Effectivity:
When the control handle is positioned to the FILL position, water can be pumped into the
system using the fill adapter. When the tank is full, water flows out through the overboard drain
mast. When the control handle is placed in the DRAIN position and pulled, the potable water is
drained from the tank through the drain mast. The control handle must be returned to the
vertical (closed) position or the serving door will not close.

The lavatory waste system stores waste material from the lavatory toilet and provides a
means of flushing the toilet bowl. The toilet assembly is self-contained and consists of a
integral seat and bowl assembly, holding tank, electric pump, timer, filter, flush handle and
service panel.
The holding tank holds the deodorant flushing solution and waste material until removed by
ground servicing personnel.
When the toilet flush handle is pushed, a timer energizes the electric pump for 10 seconds.
The pump draws the flushing fluid from the tank, through a filter, and sends it out through the
bowl assembly flush ring.
The system is serviced by means of a lavatory service panel, located on the right side of the
aft fuselage. When the service vehicle drain line is connected to the drain port, the T-handle
is pulled then rotated to the left. This opens the holding tank drain valve, on the bottom of
the tank, allowing the tank to empty through the drain line.
Once the holding tank is emptied, rinsing agent and flushing fluid are sent through the
charging port, flushing and cleaning the tank and lines. The T-handle is then turned to the
right and pushed in to close the drain valve. The tank is then filled with precharge flushing
fluid until the fluid level light on the service panel illuminates.
The toilet requires a precharge of 2.3 US gallons (8.7 liters) of flushing fluid.
