TUTORIAL #2
27FEB15 RTM DO NOT DUPLICATE For Simulator Use Only
Move down to the generator control part of the electrical panel:
Verify that the BUS TRANS switch has its guard closed, putting it
in AUTO, and that the TRANSFER BUS OFF, SOURCE OFF
and GEN OFF BUS lights are illuminated.
We’ll now test the engine and APU fire detection and warning system in
preparation for starting the APU – this is a two part process that is done
down on the pedestal just behind the thrust levers.
These tests only need to be run on the first flight of the day.
Note - in real life it is extremely important to notify the ground personnel
around the airplane before you run these tests. A loud APU fire alarm
rings on the exterior of the aircraft during the test and the ground crew are
trained to pull an external fire extinguisher lever located in the main
landing gear bay when they hear this alarm unless they’ve been told in
advance that a test is in progress. If this lever is pulled, the APU will be
destroyed by the extinguisher process and your time as a pilot at your
airline will probably come to an end.
Verify that both white OVHT DET switches are in the NORMAL
position.
