    The second lane takes over.
  65. Air Conditioning Panel

    How dose the Air Conditioning System Controller configure it's associated pack ram air inlet flap for takeoff and landing to avoid the ingestion of foreign matter?
    Takeoff: Ram air inlet flap closes when takeoff power is set and the main landing gear struts are compressed. Ram air inlet flap reopens after main landing grear strut extension.

    Landing: Ram air inlet flap closes as soon as the main landing gear struts are compressed and speed is > 70 kts. Ram air inlet flap opens 20 secs after speed <70 kts.
  67. Air Conditioning Panel

    What occurs when an (ACM) air cycle machine fails?
    The affected pack will operate as a heat exchanger.
