Explanation

When AC Bus 1 or DC Shed Essential Bus fails, the switch in the arm position ensures that emergency lighting is provided. This means that if either AC Bus 1 or DC Shed Essential Bus fails, the switch will activate the emergency lighting system to ensure that there is still lighting in case of a power failure.

6. Where are the EMER EVAC command push button switches installed?

In the cockpit and next to each cabin door

On the overhead panel and the Fwd/Aft Attendant Panels

In the cockpit overhead panel only

In the cockpit next to lavatory.

The EMER EVAC command push button switches are installed on both the overhead panel and the Fwd/Aft Attendant Panels. This means that they can be accessed and activated from both the cockpit and next to each cabin door.

Explanation

7. At the gate, a red light flashes under the door window when:

Slide is armed and engines are running.

Engines are stopped, slide is disarmed and cabin is pressurized.

Engines are running and slide is disarmed.

None of the above.

The red light flashes under the door window when the engines are stopped, the slide is disarmed, and the cabin is pressurized. This indicates that it is safe for passengers to exit the aircraft through that door.

8. The fasten seat belt, no smoking and exit signs illuminate:

The appropriate switches are ON and/ or excessive cabin altitude is detected.

The appropriate switches are OFF and/ or excessive cabin altitude is detected.

All of the above.

None of the above.

The fasten seat belt, no smoking, and exit signs illuminate when the appropriate switches are ON and/or when excessive cabin altitude is detected. This means that either the switches for these signs are turned on or there is a high altitude in the cabin, which prompts the signs to illuminate as a safety precaution.

11. The cockpit door

Normally open into the cabin.

Normally opens in the front of the lavatory.

The correct answer is that the cockpit door normally opens into the cockpit, but a mechanical override enables the flight crew to open the door from the cockpit side. This is because the cockpit is a secure area that needs to be protected, so the door is designed to open inward towards the cockpit to prevent unauthorized access. However, in case of an emergency or if the flight crew needs to access the cabin quickly, they can use a mechanical override to open the door from the cockpit side. This allows for flexibility and ensures the safety and security of the aircraft.
