ATI 767 Oral part 3

  1. How much does the APU burn?
    400 lbs per hour
  2. APU - RUN light
    • a. Flashes twice during start; means electronic control unit is satisfied with self test.
    • b. On steady means APU is at operating speed.
  3. APU - FAULT Light - (EICAS msgs: APU FAULT, APU FUEL VAL, APU FIRE)
    • a. The APU has automatically shut down for an internal fault.
    • b. APU fuel valve disagrees with the commanded position.
    • c. Fire has been detected.
    • d. Position switch to OFF to reset fault detection circuitry
  4. APU - Select Switch
    • a. OFF-closes the APU bleed air valve if open, initiates cooling cycle and shuts down APU when cooling complete. Resets auto shutdown logic.
    • b. ON-opens the APU fuel valve and inlet door. Activates AC or DC fuel pump. Powers the APU controller and permits APU bleed valve to open the bleed switch when reaching operating speed.
    • c. START - initiates automatic start sequence. Starter duty cycle - 3 starts in 60min
    • d. Accidentally selecting OFF can be cancelled by selecting START again, as long as the RUN light is illuminated.
  5. APU - Batteries required to stat?
    • Requires 2 batteries to start
    • a. Aircraft Bat - fire detection, fire protection, APU fuel valve, DC fuel pump.
    • b. APU Bat-starter motor, air inlet door motor, APU fuel circuitry.
    • c. DC fuel pump-BB. If you turn BAT switch OFF-causes APU shutdown after normal cooling cycle. Not recommended way to shut down APU as the result is loss of APU fire detection.
  6. What is automaticaly activated when APU is producing electricity.
    L fwd AC fuel pump-Ground Service Bus. Automatically activated when APU is producing electricity, even if pump switch is off.
  7. APU - Cool down? How to cancel a shutdown signal?
    • 0-120 secs.
    • Nominally set for 60 secs.
    • Do not turn BAT switch off until APU is Shutdown. 
    • If RUN light still illuminated, selecting START cancels shut down signal.
  8. APU - Starter duty cycle
    Starter duty cycle is 3 start attempts (maximum) followed by 60 minutes to let the temperature of the starter decrease.

    • Stores up to 2 hours of conversation/transmissions.
    • To erase, must be on the ground with the parking brake set.
  11. COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER (CVR) - How do you test it?
    • Older control head: Hold the test button and check to see the needle deflects 4 times as each of the 4 channels are tested.
    • Latest control head: Hold the test button for 5 seconds. The illumination of the green LED indicates a good test.
    • Both control heads incorporate a X" jack for a headset so one can test the area microphone.
