Air Systems

During preflight procedure the trim air switch is left in the OFF position and only one pack is
selected ON for air conditioning. What is the consequence?

Since the trim air is off both packs will average the temperature that satisfies the zone
which requires the most cooling

During single pack operation the zone temperature is controlled the same as during two
pack operation.

With the TRIM AIR selected OFF, the pack attempts to produce an air temperature to
satisfy the average temperature demands of all three zones.

If a passenger cabin zone trim air, or all trim air is lost, the forward and aft zone
temperature demands will be averaged for control of the left pack.
When pressing Master Caution Recall the CONT CAB amber ZONE TEMP light illuminates.
What is correct?

This indicates a failure of both the primary and standby temperature control systems.

Due to failure of the primary flight deck temperature control, automatic switching to the
backup system has occurred.

This indicates one PACK has overheated and has to be reset by pushing the trip reset
button.

This indicates that both temperature controllers will regulate the temperature to a preset
value.
When will the descent mode be activated in the pressurization system?

When retard is announced in the FMA.

Due to a malfunction you are required to return to the airport of departure. To avoid the OFF
SCHED DESCENT warning you reset the FLT ALT. What can you expect?

The system will be recalculating the pressurization for the departure airport

The pressurization will increase its ventilation and possibly pressurization will be lost

The automatic abort capability for the departure airport is lost

Nothing will happen and you will still get the OFF SCHED DESCENT warning.
