Cabin Air; Adjust as required
The BLEED OVERTEMP warning light will illuminate when
bleed air temperature exceeds 72°C. The cabin pressurization

therefore a leak in the bleed air lines can cause smoke from
engine department to enter into the cabin. Normally, a leak in
the bleed air lines is indicated by illuminating of the amber
