Usage

AIR FLOW selector

  • NORM
    • The airflow in the cabin/cockpit is automatically controlled.
  • HI
    • The airflow in the cabin/cockpit is in manual mode.
    • The pack airflow is 120% of the MAN default value.
  • LO
    • The airflow in the cabin/cockpit is in manual mode.
    • The pack airflow is 80% of the MAN default value.
  • MAN
    • The airflow in the cabin/cockpit is in manual mode.
    • The pack airflow is a default value.

PACK 1+2 pb

  • AUTO
    • The pack is on and automatically controlled.
  • OFF
    • The pack is off.
  • FAULT:
    • When any pack valve position disagrees with the requested position.
      • Associated with the following ECAM alert:
        • AIR PACK 1(2) VLV 1(2) FAULT
    • Or when the pack overheats.
      • Associated with the following ECAM alert:
        • AIR PACK 1(2) OVHT
      • The FAULT light goes off when the overheat disappears.
    • Or when the pack has failed.
      • Associated with one of the following ECAM alerts:
        • AIR PACK 1(2) FAULT
        • AIR PACK 1+2 FAULT
    • Or when there is a bleed leak on one pack.
