The 777 is a twin-engine widebody airplane designed for medium and long range flights. The 777 size is between a 767-300 and a 747-400. The airplane design offers features, innovations, and approaches that set the standard for delivering value to the operators.
Seat combinations include:
Doors, service connections, and access panels give easy access. It is possible to do servicing of these locations at the same time. This decreases turnaround times.
Boeing has these six 777 airplanes, listed along with their design range: • • • • • •
777-200 (5235 miles) 777-200ER (7700 miles) 777-200LR (9450 miles) 777 Freighter (4885 miles) 777-300 (6015 miles) 777-300ER (7930 miles).
Measures listed are maximum allowable. Optional equipment and load restrictions may be required to operate at these values.
1-2
• • •
Six-abreast first class Seven or eight-abreast business class Nine or ten-abreast economy class.
The 777 gives better passenger comfort and appeal with new entertainment systems and flexible cabin configurations. New overhead flight and cabin crew rest areas increase passenger cabin revenue capability. The 777 Freighter has a revenue payload capability of 226,000 lbs with up to 27 pallets and 18,300 cubic feet on the main deck.
The central maintenance computing function (CMCF) of the airplane information management system (AIMS) collects fault data and supplies a central location for access to maintenance data and system test. This decreases maintenance and turnaround times. A power-operated cargo handling system decreases load and unload times. The 777 Freighter integrates smoothly with existing cargo operations and interlining with 747 freighter fleets. Easy transfer of cargo is possible via the large main deck cargo door.

Flight Deck Features
FLAT PANEL LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY UNITS
OVERVIEW The 777 has a two-pilot flight deck and room for two observers. The flight deck supplies airline and flight crew needs into the 21st century. The 777 flight deck has flat panel liquid crystal display (LCD) technology and the digital flight deck technology shown successful on the 747-400, 767, and 757. The LCDs replace cathode ray tube (CRT) displays used in other Boeing airplanes. The manual operations on the 777 flight deck are made easier. Many of the manual flight crew operations done before are automatic in the 777. Easier manual operations and more automatic operations decrease the flight crew work load.
Less power is necessary for the flat panel liquid crystal display units (DUs), and they have a larger display area than the usual CRT displays. The standby indicator is also a flat panel LCD. CONTROL DISPLAY UNITS Three LCD control display units (CDUs) in the flight deck have multicolored displays. MAINTENANCE ACCESS TERMINAL The maintenance access terminal (MAT) in the flight deck makes it easy for the maintenance crew to isolate system faults and load airplane systems software.

Flight Deck Panels Flight Deck Panels
The 777 flight deck decreases and makes flight crew operations better. System control location gives easy access. The main instrument panels of the flight deck include six 8" X 8" flat panel liquid crystal display (LCD) display units (DUs) that are the same and interchangeable. The DUs supply a larger display area than the usual cathode ray tube (CRT) displays. The left and right outboard DUs show the primary flight display (PFD) format. The left and right inboard DUs usually show the navigation display (ND) format. They can also show the multi-function display (MFD) formats.
4-2
The upper center DU shows the EICAS display. The lower center DU normally shows the MFD formats. It can also show the EICAS display or the ND. The arrangement of the captain and first officer main instrument panels decreases pilot head and eye motion and gives full visibility. The maintenance access terminal (MAT) is a new panel that the maintenance technicians use to do many maintenance related functions.

The airplane information management system (AIMS) is a new system introduced on the Boeing 777 airplane. Advancements in technology, microelectronics, fault tolerance, and software permit the development of highly integrated, digital avionics. The AIMS integrates the avionics functions that require large quantities of data collection, processing, and calculations. On other model airplanes, many LRUs are necessary to handle these avionics functions.
• • • • •

The two cursor control devices (CCDs) in the flight deck are new features. The flight crew uses the CCDs to: • •
Control menus Select items on the multi-function display Manage communications.
AIMS CABINETS
•
The AIMS has two cabinets. Each cabinet has eight line replaceable modules (LRMs), four of these are input/output modules (IOMs) and four are core processor modules (CPMs). The AIMS cabinets operate as the main computer for several avionics systems.
MAINTENANCE INTERFACE
The AIMS cabinet integrates the computing functions for the avionics systems. Software partitioning keeps a necessary separation between computing functions. The software partitioning allows the integration of multiple computing functions in a single core processor module. SYSTEM INTERFACES The AIMS cabinets interface with approximately 130 LRUs, sensors, switches, and indicators. The large quantity of interfaces permits the AIMS to integrate the information from a majority of airplane systems in one place. It is efficient to integrate this information for central maintenance computing, flight data recording, airplane condition monitoring flight management, thrust management and displays.
The onboard maintenance system uses the AIMS cabinets for the computing function. The maintenance crew uses a maintenance access terminal (MAT) to control the central maintenance computing system and the airplane condition monitoring system. The MAT is a station with a display module, disk drive module, keyboard, and cursor control module. The MAT is at the second observer position. ENGINEERING INTERFACE Engineers use the ground based software tool (GBST) to create airline modifiable information (AMI). The AMIs allow the airline to customize information. The AMI software is loaded into these functions: • • • • • •

The AIMS has interfaces with many airplane systems with different types of data formats. These are the data formats that AIMS uses: • • • • • • • •
ARINC 629 ARINC 429 ARINC 618 ARINC 453 ARINC 717 RS 422 Analog Radio frequency (RF).
There are different isolated ARINC 629 buses in relation to the type of data and the redundancy requirements. The flight controls buses have flight critical data necessary for the primary flight control system and the autopilot flight director system. The systems buses give data to and receive data from many other systems for system operation and for display. The AIMS
intercabinet buses have data that the AIMS cabinets give to each other and the CDUs.
The interface between the AIMS cabinets and the MAT, and the laptop MATs is with an Ethernet connection.
The data used for downlink on the VHF communication system is ARINC 618. Many systems transmit and receive ARINC 429 data. The weather radar system and enhanced ground proximity warning system use ARINC 453. The flight data recorder and quick access recorder use ARINC 717 and RS 422 data. The AIMS cabinets receive discrete switch data and some engine sensor data with analog interfaces. The display units receive an RF signal from the AIMS cabinets.

Flight Management Computing System Flight Management Computin g System
The flight management computing system (FMCS) decreases flight crew work load. To do this, it gives vertical and lateral guidance for all phases of flight but takeoff and landing. The FMCS also gives navigation data to the flight crew on the forward displays and does an autotune of the navigation radios. The two AIMS cabinets have the same flight management computing function (FMCF). The active FMCF sends lateral guidance commands and vertical guidance commands to the AFDCS with mode requests from the MCP. The other FMCF operates as a standby. The primary crew interface for the flight management computing system are the three CDUs. The flight crew puts data in on the left or right CDU. The center CDU operates
as a back-up if the left or right CDU has a failure. If the FMCF has a failure, the CDUs can calculate lateral guidance commands and let the crew manually tune on-side radios. The two AIMS cabinets use the data entries. The CDUs have interfaces with other systems for control and display. The FMCF has these functions: • • • •
Navigation Flight planning Performance management Navigation radio tuning.
The navigation function calculates airplane position and velocity. The FMCF memory contains a navigation database. This database has data for: • • •
NAVAID locations Waypoints Departure/arrival procedures
•
Company flight plans.
The flight planning function uses flight crew entries to make the lateral flight plan. The FMCF performance management function uses the airplane aerodynamic model and flight crew entries to calculate the most economical vertical flight path. The flight crew entries are: • • •
Cost index Cruise altitude Airplane gross weight.
The FMCF navigation radio tune function does an autotune of the NAV radios for position and display update. The GBST gives AMI for: • • •
FMCF software option code Performance factors AMI P/N. 5-19

The TMCF supplies autothrottle modes and calculates thrust limits. These outputs go to the display system. The flight crew selects autothrottle modes from the mode control panel (MCP) and the TO/GA levers. The flight crew selects the thrust limit mode from the thrust limit page on the CDU. Thrust limit mode selection also occurs automatically when the flight management system engages in the vertical navigation mode.

The central maintenance computing system (CMCS) collects, keeps, and shows maintenance data for most of the airplane systems. You use the CMCS for fault isolation and test. These are the components of the CMCS: •
• • • • •
Central maintenance computing function (CMCF) in the AIMS cabinets Ground test switch Side display (2) (optional) MAT and its keyboard LMAT receptacles (2) LMAT.
The crew uses a maintenance access terminal (MAT) in the flight compartment or a laptop MAT (LMAT) in the main equipment center to operate the central maintenance computing system. There is a
second LMAT receptacle in the flight compartment on the P18 panel adjacent to the MAT. The MAT and LMAT connect with the CMCF in the AIMS cabinet through Ethernet connections. There is a CMCF in each AIMS cabinet. Only one CMCF operates at a time. The other CMCF is a backup. The CMCF gets fault reports from systems and stores this data in fault history. When the primary display system shows a flight deck effect, the CMCF does a correlation of the fault with a maintenance message. This maintenance message shows what LRU had a failure.

The electronic flight bag (EFB) is a computer based information system for the captain and first officer. The EFB reduces the amount of paper in the flight deck and improves the quality of information given to the crew. Depending on the airplane components and software installed, the EFB typically includes these and other functions: • • • • •
Aeronautical maps and charts Airport maps and charts with real time position reporting Manuals, fault reporting, and operations procedurees Flight deck entry video surveillance Minimum equipment lists and logbooks.
The EFB system has two display units in the flight compartment. The captain’s and first officer’s EFBs operate seperately. 5-28
The primary components of the EFB are two display units (DU) and two electronics units (EU). The DU functions as both a computer monitor and input device. The DU receives inputs from the touch-sensitive screen, line select keys and a computer keyboard. Each EU contains two processors. One is Linux based and the other is Windows based. The pilots can also use the cursor control device (CCD) to operate certain functions. The EUs send data to the DUs on a fiber optic data bus. The EUs send control and data load information to each other on ethernet connections. The EUs get airplane data from the AIMS and multi-mode receivers. Flight deck entry video surveilance signals come from a camera interface unit (CIU).Other airplane interfaces are to the flight deck printer and data loader receptacle (P18).
The EFB has additional capabilities for data storage and update. Information can be updated through a terminal wireless LAN unit (TWLU). The TWLU is a low powered receiver transmitter that is part of a local area network (LAN). The TWLU provides a wireless connection between the airplane and a ground based network provider. The network file server (NFS) provides network communications between the NFS, EFB and various onboard remote access terminals. The NFS is the entry point for airline e-enabling by providing routing capability for different software applications. Based on customer selection, these are some of the applications : • • • • •

Four ARINC 629 system buses supply the main communication path between these systems: • • • • •
Avionics Electrical Electro-mechanical Environmental control Propulsion.
The ARINC 629 system buses connect with approximately 53 LRUs. These buses operate independently from the flight control buses. ARINC 629 components include terminal controllers and serial interface modules. These components are internal to the LRUs. As well as the LRU ARINC 629 components and the seven ARINC 629 data bus cable assemblies, the ARINC 629 communication system includes stub cables and current mode couplers.
The LRUs use a coupler and terminal (terminal controller and serial interface module) to connect with the bus. Each terminal monitors the bus and does not transmit until there is a quiet period. Only one terminal on a bus transmits at a time. After a terminal transmits, three different timers make sure that it does not transmit again until all of the other terminals on the bus have an opportunity to transmit. The overhead panel ARINC 629 system (OPAS) does a multiplex of the flight deck panel switch positions for transmission on the ARINC 629 system buses.

VHF/HF Communication Systems VHF/HF Communication Systems
The very high frequency (VHF) communication system supplies lineof-sight voice and data communication from air to ground or air to air. The short to medium range of VHF keeps interference with distant stations at the same frequency to a minimum. Each VHF communication system includes a transceiver and a dedicated antenna. The high frequency (HF) communication system permits voice communication over distances much farther than line-of-sight radio systems. Communication from aircraft to ground stations or other aircraft is provided during long over water flights. Each HF communication system includes a transceiver, an antenna coupler, and a common antenna.
The antenna is on the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer. The antenna couplers are in the vertical stabilizer behind the antenna. The antenna coupler matches the impedance of the transmission line to that of the transceiver. Frequency selection for each transceiver is from any of the three radio tuning panels (RTPs). Any RTP can provide tuning data to any of the VHF or HF transceivers. A radio tuning switch selects one of the five transceivers. The frequency selectors select the desired frequency. This shows on the liquid crystal display standby frequency window. The frequency transfer switch toggles between active and standby frequencies.
RTPs. This frequency shows on the RTPs standby frequency window. The flight crew selects that frequency to tune the VHF radios. The audio control panels supply microphone selection, headphone monitoring, and PTT functions. The central maintenance computing function (CMCF) of the AIMS tests and monitors the VHF and HF communication systems. The digital flight data acquisition function (DFDAF) of the AIMS receives microphone keying information. The flight data recorder records the microphone keying information.
The VHF radios interface with the AIMS data communication management function (DCMF). The DCMF supplies tuning data to the 6-9

The selective calling (SELCAL) system monitors all communication radios in the airplane. The system alerts the flight crew when it receives a ground call with the correct airplane code. This removes the need for continuous monitoring of the communication radios by the flight crew. The SELCAL decoder receives audio signals from the VHF and HF communication systems. The SELCAL decoder processes the SELCAL messages and sends them to the audio management unit. The audio management unit sends a signal to the ACP and to AIMS.

systems and the ground earth stations.
The SATCOM system transmits and receives data and voice messages. The system uses satellites as relay stations for long distances. SATCOM is more reliable than the HF communication system because atmospheric interference does not have an effect on it.
AIRCRAFT EARTH STATION DESCRIPTION
The system has the satellite network, the ground earth stations (GES), and the aircraft earth stations (AES). The satellite network does a relay of radio signals between the AES and the GES. Each GES is a fixed radio station that has interfaces with communication networks through ground links and the aircraft earth stations through the satellite. The AES is the SATCOM system on the airplane that has interfaces with different airplane communication
The basic SATCOM configuration for the freighter has a high-gain system that uses top-mounted antenna with an integrated beam steering unit. The satellite data unit (SDU) is the interface between all other related airplane systems and the SATCOM system. The SDU gets logon subscription data from the satellite data unit configuration module (SCM). The SDU also sends an Lband signal to the high power amplifier (HPA). The HPA supplies sufficient radio frequency power to the antenna. The low noise amplifier (LNA) and diplexer are one unit. The diplexer connects transmit signals from the HPA to the antenna. It also connects receive signals from the antenna to the LNA. The LNA does
an amplification of the low level L-band signal from the antenna. The SDU sends directional control signals to the integrated beam steering unit (IBSU) in the high-gain antenna. The IBSU electronically controls the antenna elements to point the beam at the necessary satellite. The AES has interfaces with the data communication management system (DCMS) for transmission and reception of data messages. The AES also has interfaces with the audio management unit (AMU) for voice call audio and the control display units (CDUs) for control signals.

The ELT sends a signal to AIMS to show a message during ELT operation. The ELT control panel has a switch to arm the ELT. The switch can also turn on and off the ELT for testing. The ELT sends the radio frequency outputs to the blade antenna on the top of the airplane.
Satellites send the received signal to a ground station. The ground station uses the phase shift between the ELT and the satellite to find the approximate location of the ELT. The ground station sends this data to the mission control center. The mission control center sends alert data to a rescue coordination center. The ELT system consists of the ELT, antenna and control panel. The program switch module and aircraft identification module provide airplane data to the ELT. 6-13
Communications Cabin Servic es System
The cabin services system (CSS) integrates many cabin and passenger systems. CSS controls these systems: • • • •
Passenger address Cabin interphone Passenger service Cabin lighting.
There is a zone management unit (ZMU) in each zone.
Each passenger seat can have any of these IFE components:
Each ZMU connects to the overhead electronics units (OEUs) and to the IFE through an ARINC 628 zone interface bus. Each ZMU also connects to one cabin area control panel (CACP) and up to five cabin attendant handsets (CAHs). These are the functions of the ZMU:
• • • • •
The CSS also monitors and controls many cabin functions.
•
The integration of these systems permits control, monitor, and test of the system from a central location.
•
The CSS has a standard interface (ARINC 628) that allows the addition of an in-flight entertainment (IFE) system. The interface to the IFE is through a head-end interface and through a zone interface. The IFE controls functions of the passenger entertainment system and of airline applications.
The ZMUs monitor the configuration database for the correct state of each light. They also have interfaces with the OEUs to control the lights.
Software controls the CSS. The CSS uses a configuration database to define the cabin interior configuration. Interior configuration changes are easy to do by changing the configuration database. The configuration database generator (CDG) is a menu-driven database editor that operates on a personal computer (PC). The CDG changes the database. After the change, the operator loads the database into the cabin services system through the cabin system control panel (CSCP). The CSCP stores many databases and operational software in memory.
•
Flight attendants use the CSCP for CSS functions and maintenance technicians use the CSCP for test and program functions.
•
The passenger address/cabin interphone (PA/CI) controller controls the passenger address (PA) and cabin interphone (CI) functions.

Communications Cabin Interphone System
Passenger Addr ess System
The cabin interphone (CI) function permits communication between cabin attendants and between cabin attendants and the flight crew.
The passenger address (PA) function sends announcements to the passenger cabin.
The cabin interphone function uses these components:
The passenger address function uses these components: •
• • • •
Passenger address/cabin interphone (PA/CI) controller Cabin attendant handsets (CAH) Zone management units (ZMU) Flight deck handset (FDH).
• • • •
The cabin attendants use the CAH for communications on the cabin interphone. Each CAH station has a two-number dial code. A station can make a call to other stations. A cabin station that receives a call gets a chime and a call light. The flight compartment gets a chime, a call light on each audio control panel (ACP), and a message on the center control display unit (CDU). The ZMU is the interface between the CAH and the PA/CI controller. The flight crew uses the flight interphone or the FDH as an interface with the CI. The audio management unit (AMU) uses the flight interphone audio and sends it to the PA/CI. The PA/CI controller does these functions:
Passenger address/cabin interphone (PA/CI) controller Speaker drive modules (SDM) Zone management units (ZMU) Cabin control panels (CSCP/CACP) Cabin system management unit (CSMU).
The PA/CI controller has two circuits for the PA function that are the same and two circuits for the CI function that are the same. Each has a primary and alternate circuit. The attendant selects an alternate circuit from the attendant switch panel if a primary circuit has a failure. Passenger Service System
The passenger service system (PSS) controls reading lights, call lights, and passenger information signs. The PSS uses these components:
Announcements come from the flight crew, the cabin attendants, or the IFE system. The IFE system sends. • • •
Prerecorded announcements Boarding music Video entertainment audio.
• • • • •
The airline can make the passenger cabin configuration in as many as six PA areas for announcements. The PA/CI controller receives all audio inputs and selects the input with the highest priority. It makes the audio digital and sends it to the SDMs. The SDMs change the digital audio back to analog. Each SDM can operate one or two speakers. Chimes are put together with the audio so passengers and crew hear them at the same time.
Zone management unit (ZMU) Cabin area control panel (CACP) Cabin system control panel (CSCP) Cabin system management unit (CSMU) Overhead electronics unit (OEU).
The in-flight entertainment (IFE) system lets passengers control their reading lights and passenger-toattendant call functions. The IFE system sends status and configuration database data to the PSS. The ZMU supplies an interface from the IFE system to the OEU. The OEU controls the light and the attendant call function. The lavatories have an interface with the OEU for these functions:

Clock Sy st em
The 777 uses some new avionics systems such as the highly fault tolerant, air data inertial reference system (ADIRS). The ADIRS combines the air data system and the inertial reference system into two line replaceable units (LRUs), the air data inertial reference unit (ADIRU) and the secondary attitude air data reference unit (SAARU). HIGH RELIABILITY Because there are only two main LRUs in this system instead of three ADCs and three IRUs, there is less weight. Also, the high reliability of the air data inertial reference system decreases the need for maintenance and spares. SATELLITE NAVIGATION The 777 uses the newest in satellite navigational systems, the global positioning system (GPS). GPS gives improved navigation accuracy. This saves fuel and improves the airline on-time performance.

The ADIRS consists of:
If failures occur, all IRU functions are available with:
• • • • • •
One ADIRU One SAARU Six air data modules (ADMs) Two standby air data modules (SADMs) A standby attitude indicator The air data sensors.
The ADIRS operates the same as a system of three IRUs, two ADCs and pressure, temperature, and angle of attack sensors. The ADIRS sends primary, secondary, and standby air data and inertial reference information to the flight deck displays, flight controls, autopilot system, and other airplane systems. Ai r Data In ert ial Refer enc e Uni t (ADIRU)
The ADIRU has these components: • • • • •
Six ring laser gyro sensors Six linear accelerometer sensors Four processors Three power supplies Three dual-channel ARINC 629 interfaces.
The ring laser gyros and linear accelerometers are along six nonparallel, symmetrically skewed axes. This orientation gives a fault-tolerant system.
• • • • •
Vertical speed.
Four gyros Four accelerometers Two power supplies One processor A single ARINC 629 interface.
The ADIRU has one ON/OFF switch on the overhead panel. When the switch is ON, the ADIRU gets power and then goes through many operational modes before it begins navigation. When the On/Off switch is OFF, the ADIRU goes off when the airplane is on the ground and less than a certain ground speed.

Secondary A ttit ude Air Data Reference Unit (SAARU)
The SAARU supplies pitch and roll attitude to the standby attitude indicators. It is also the secondary source of inertial navigation and air data for the PFDs, primary flight controls system (PFCS), autopilot flight director system (AFDS) and other airplane systems. During a catastrophic failure of the ADIRU, the SAARU gives the AFDS reduced navigation data.
Four fiber optic rate gyros Four analog linear accelerometers Two processors Three ARINC 629 interfaces.
Three of the gyro and accelerometers sensors are on the pitch, roll, and yaw axes and the fourth sensor pair is on a skewed axis.

The switches control the source of display data for the on-side PFD. The primary source of display data is the ADIRU, and the secondary source of display data is the SAARU. The ADIRU sends data on the left and right ARINC 629 flight control buses and gets data from all three ARINC 629 flight controls buses. The SAARU sends data on the center flight controls bus and gets data from the left, center, and right flight controls buses. The ADIRU and the SAARU send inertial reference data and air data to these units: • • • •
AIMS AFDS PFCS CDUs.
AIMS sends the inertial reference data and air data to many other airplane systems and systems components. These include: • • • • •
GPS WES TCAS EEC APU.
The center pitot probe and the center static ports also have a standby air data module (SADM). The standby altimeter and airspeed indicator get the 429 air data from the SADMs. STANDBY INSTRUMENT An LCD integrated standby flight display shows this data:

Ai r Data Senso rs
Each pitot probe and static port connects to an air data module (ADM). The ADMs change the air pressure into ARINC 629 digital data. The ADIRU and SAARU get the 629 air data from the ADMs.
The AOA sensors send analog signals to the on-side AIMS cabinet. The TAT probe is a dual element probe with two analog outputs. One output goes to the right AIMS cabinet, and the other goes to the left AIMS cabinet. 7-3
Navigation Navigation Radios
The navigation radios supply reference data for instrument navigation. The flight management computing function (FMCF) of AIMS supplies most of the control for the navigation radios. VHF Omnidir ectional Ranging System
The VHF omnidirectional ranging (VOR) system supplies bearing and deviation signals relative to ground stations to the FMCF and the NDs.
Au to mat ic Dir ect io n Fi nd er System
The automatic direction finder (ADF) receives radio signals from a ground station. It supplies bearing information to the NDs and audio to the flight deck. Some ADF stations in major terminal areas provide weather information. Each ADF system has an integral sense and loop antenna and a receiver. The ADF data shows on the NDs. Instrument Landing System
The FMCF uses VOR data to calculate airplane position. A dual element VOR antenna is on the top of the vertical stabilizer. Marker Beacon System
The marker beacon system gives displays and aural tones in the flight deck when the airplane passes over a particular geographical location. The marker beacon receiver is a module in each VOR receiver. The marker beacon function operates in the left system only.
The instrument landing system (ILS) supplies precision approach guidance during instrument approaches to the NDs, PFDs, and AFDCs. The FMCF uses ILS data to calculate airplane position. The PFDs show localizer and glideslope deviation. When the EFIS control panels are in the APP mode, the NDs show: • • • •
ILS course pointer ILS source annunciator DME distance Localizer and glideslope deviation Selected ILS course ILS frequency/identifier.
Distance Measuring Equipment System
• •
The distance measuring equipment (DME) system supplies slant range distance between the airplane and a ground station to the FMCF and the NDs. The distance shows on the NDs. The FMCF uses DME distance to calculate airplane position.
When the airplane is on approach, the AFDCs send a discrete to each multi-mode receiver (MMR). This discrete prevents ILS test and tuning. The AFDCs also control the position of the localizer and glideslope antenna switches.
The DME system supplies suppression pulses to the ATC transponders and TCAS. This is because DME frequencies are in the ATC and TCAS frequency range.
The ILS system uses the localizer radome antennas during approach. The system uses the VOR antenna to help the pilot maintain a straight track during takeoff. The system uses the glideslope track antennas on the leading edge of the nose landing gear doors when the landing gear is down and locked.

Navigation Radio Tuning
The flight management computing function (FMCF) of AIMS tunes the VOR, ILS, DME, and ADF systems. The onside control display units (CDUs) supply manual tuning if AIMS fails. Au di o Int erf ace
Audio from the VOR, ILS, DME, ADF, and marker beacon systems goes to headsets and speakers in the flight deck through the audio management unit. Fault Reportin g And Testing

The global positioning system (GPS) uses navigation satellites to supply accurate airplane position to the FMCF, ADIRU, and the flight crew. The GPS calculates this data: • • • •
Airplane latitude Airplane longitude Airplane altitude Time.
The GPS receiver is a card in the multi-mode receivers (MMR). The ADIRU supplies inertial reference position and air data parameters, through the data conversion gateway function of AIMS, to the GPS. The GPS uses these parameters to find the best satellites during system initialization.
7-6
The ADIRS uses GPS position data to aid in the automatic calibration of the inertial sensors in the ADIRU. This reduces ADIRU position drift as the airplane flies. The FMCF uses GPS position as the prime source for the calculation of airplane position. It is also the source for accurate time. The GPS reports faults and test results to the central maintenance computing function (CMCF) of AIMS.

The radio altimeter (RA) system supplies the pilots and airplane systems with altitude above the terrain. The system operates at low altitude (0 to 2,500 feet).
The RA system also supplies radio altitude data to these units: • • •
The system has three transceivers each with its own transmit and receive antennas. The transceivers calculate the radio altitude, which shows on the primary flight display (PFD).
Autopilot flight director computers (AFDCs) Ground proximity warning computer (GPWC) Traffic alert and collision avoidance (TCAS) computer.
The central maintenance computer function (CMCF) of AIMS does a test of the RA system.
Each pilot can select a radio minimums altitude on the onside EFIS control panel. The radio minimums show on the onside PFD above the radio altitude display. When the radio altitude is equal to or less than the radio minimums, the radio minimums display and the radio altitude change color and momentarily flash.

Traffic Alert and Collisi on Avo id anc e Sys tem
The TCAS computer sends data to the NDs and the PFDs through AIMS. The traffic button on the EFIS control panel causes the location and track of other airplanes to show on the NDs. The PFDs show the flight crew how to change or hold vertical speed. Aural alerts come on in the flight deck through the WES.
TCAS gives alerts to the flight crew of possible collisions with other transponder airplanes. TCAS uses the ATC/Mode S transponder system to send TCAS data to other TCASequipped airplanes. TCAS gives two types of advisories to the flight crew. One type of advisory is the traffic advisory (TA) that gives indication of other airplanes in the area. The other type of advisory is the resolution advisory (RA). The RA gives an indication to the flight crew to change the direction of the airplane or hold the present course to prevent a possible collision. If an airplane is a collision threat, the TCAS computer selects the best

Ground Proximity Warning System Ground Proximity Warning System
The ground proximity warning system (GPWS) gives alerts or warnings to the flight crew of not safe terrain clearance. Alerts and warnings have aural and visual indications. These indications continue until the pilots correct the condition that started the warning or alert. The GPWS uses these inputs to start alerts and warnings:
• •
The GPWS supplies these prioritized modes when the airplane is between 30 and 2450 feet of radio altitude: • • • •
•
• •
AIMS - includes air data, inertial data, flight management data, central maintenance data, flap position, landing gear position, and stall warning data Instrument landing system Radio altimeter.
GPWS outputs go to these functions: •
data and failure data GND PROX annunciator light Warning electronic system for audio amplification and control of the warning lights.
• • • • •
Mode 1 - too much descent rate Mode 2 - too much terrain closure rate Mode 3 - too much descent after takeoff or go-around Mode 4 - not safe terrain clearance when not in the landing configuration Mode 5 - below glideslope deviation Mode 6 - radio altimeter aural callouts with gear down Mode 7 - windshear condition Terrain awareness mode Terrain clearance floor mode.
The system supplies voice warnings to help the pilots identify the cause of the warning or alert. The guarded FLAP OVRD and GEAR OVRD switches prevent some modes. The FLAP OVRD switch gives a signal that is the same as flaps extended. The GEAR OVRD switch gives a signal that is the same as landing gear down. The GPWS sends discretes to TCAS and to the WXR. These discretes put a priority on the warnings that can come from the three systems. The terrain awareness mode uses a world-wide terrain data base to give warning of terrain proximity. The terrain clearance floor mode uses data for the landing airport to make a safe approach.

Weather Radar Control Panel
Weather Radar System Weather Radar System
The weather radar system shows the flight crew weather conditions along the flight path. This lets them change the flight path to go around bad weather conditions. The flight crew also uses the weather radar system as a navigational aid. The weather radar receiver/transmitter (RT) sends weather display data to the AIMS on a ARINC 453 data bus. AIMS then shows a four-color weather display on the NDs. The on-side EFIS control panel selects weather returns to show on the ND and also controls the range for the weather display. The weather radar button on the EFIS control panel selects weather returns to show on the on-side ND.
The flight crew selects the operation mode, receiver gain, and antenna tilt angle on the weather radar panel. When the flight crew selects the weather mode on the weather radar panel: • • • •
•
Heavy rainfall shows in red Moderate rainfall shows in yellow Light rainfall shows in green In the turbulence mode, turbulence from heavy rainfall shows in magenta Windshear conditions show with a special symbol to give a warning to the flight crew.
The map mode can show coastlines or large bodies of water. Weather returns show on the ND in all EFIS modes but PLAN, full rose APPROACH, and full rose VOR. The weather radar has a predictive windshear mode that can find
7-10
conditions that cause a windshear. If it finds these conditions, it makes an aural warning and shows a special display on the ND. Because a windshear is most dangerous when the airplane is at low altitude, the weather radar comes on automatically on the ground during takeoff and when the airplane goes below 2200 feet during approach. Antenna attitude stabilization is done by the ADIRS for horizontal scan. You put the mode selector switch of the weather radar control panel in the TEST position to do a system test. The CMCF of AIMS stores weather radar system faults.

AFDS Block Diagram System Description
The autopilot automatically controls airplane heading, track, speed, altitude, navigation paths, and goaround. The flight director provides guidance commands for these functions plus for takeoff. The autopilot can do fail-operational and fail-passive approach and landings. These are the AFDS components: • • • • •
One mode control panel (MCP) Three autopilot flight director computers (AFDCs) Six backdrive actuators Two control wheel disengage switches Two takeoff/go-around switches (TO/GA).
The AFDS does not have servos to move the primary flight control surfaces. The primary flight computers (PFCs), the actuator control electronics (ACEs), and 8-2
power control units (PCUs) control the movement of the surfaces. There are two autopilot engage switches on the MCP. All available autopilot channels engage when the flight crew pushes either switch. The AFDS autopilot commands go to the PFCs through the flight controls ARINC 629 buses. The PFCs select which signal to use by mid-value selection. The PFCs process and change the autopilot commands to surface commands that go to the ACEs and backdrive commands that go to the AFDCs. The backdrive commands operate the backdrive actuators. The actuators move the control columns, control wheels, and rudder pedals to a position that represents the autopilot command.
Autopilot commands go to the rudder system only during automatic approach and landings. The AFDS does not control the horizontal stabilizer. Pitch trim control is from the primary flight control system. Controls
Mode selection and engage switches for the autopilot, flight director, and autothrottle are on the MCP. The TOGA switches are on the thrust levers. Indication
The PFDs show the AFDS selected values, mode annunciations, and AFDS status annunciations. Warning, caution, and advisory messages show on the EICAS.

NO BREAK POWER TRANSFER Two power sources momentarily supply power to the same bus (parallel sources) when a bus changes from one source to a source on the ground. This no-break power transfer decreases faults in electronic equipment. THE ELECTRICAL LOAD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (ELMS) The ELMS controls the distribution of electrical power to the airplane. It also supplies control logic and indications for some airplane systems. ELMS replaces complex relay logic, discrete wiring, and circuit cards on other airplanes. TWO EXTERNAL POWER CONNECTORS There are two external power connectors on the 777. Each can receive 90 kVA of electrical power for ground operations. BACKUP GENERATORS Each engine has a 20 kVA generator as a backup power source for the transfer buses that supply essential loads. RAT GENERATOR A ram air turbine (RAT) 7 kVA generator is a standby power source for the flight instrument buses. SYNOPTIC DISPLAY The electrical power synoptic display shows a real-time picture of the electrical power system configuration.

Electrical Power System Schematic Electrical Power System
The electrical power system normally operates as two independent left and right power channels. Each channel has a main ac bus. The left main ac bus receives power from the left IDG and the right bus receives power from the right IDG. The APU generator and external power connections are also sources of ac power for either main bus. The right main ac bus supplies power to the ground service bus. When the right bus does not have power, the APU generator or primary external connector can supply power to the ground service bus. On the ground, the APU generator or primary external power source supply power to the ground handling bus. Five TRUs make 28 volt dc power from the ac power.
The hot battery bus and APU battery bus receive power from the ground service bus through the main and APU battery chargers. The standby bus normally receives power from the left main transfer bus. If no ac power is available, the standby inverter supplies power to the standby bus. Backup generators operate when the engines are running. They supply power to the backup converter. If a main ac bus loses power, the converter supplies power to the related transfer bus.
Small batteries prevent power interruptions during power transfers. These are the acronyms for the above electrical power system components: • • • • • • • • • •
If the backup generators are not available, the RAT generator supplies power to the flight instrument buses. Three FCDC PSAs receive power from the dc buses, hot battery bus, and PMGs in the backup generator.

Fuel Features
AUTOMATIC FUEL JETTISON SYSTEM
FUEL CAPACITY One center tank and two main tanks hold 306,000 pounds (139,000 kg) in the 777-200ER and the 777-300. The 777-200 has a smaller center tank, so the airplane holds 209,000 pounds (94,700 kg). The 777300ER, 777-200LR and 777 Freighter hold 323,700 pounds (147,00 kg) with larger main and center tanks. The 777-200LR holds 361,250 pounds (164,200 kg) with 3 optional auxiliary tanks. FUEL TANK COMPONENT REPLACEMENT WITHOUT DEFUEL
The fuel jettison system moves fuel overboard to decrease airplane gross weight. This prevents an overweight landing. The pilots start the jettison system operation. Operation stops at the maximum landing weight. The pilots can also manually select the quantity of fuel for jettison.

Fuel Tanks and Vent System Fuel Tanks
Fuel Vent Sys tem
The fuel system has three fuel tanks, two main tanks and one center tank. The tanks are part of the wing structure and the center wing section.
The fuel vent system keeps the fuel tanks near ambient pressure during all flight phases, airplane attitudes, and refuel/defuel operations. Each fuel tank has a vent to its surge tank through channels in the wing.
Most fuel system components are in the tanks. These are the components on the rear spar: • • •
Fuel pumps Scavenge jet pumps Valve actuators.
You can remove most of these components on the rear spar without the removal of fuel. Up to three optional auxiliary fuel tanks are in the aft cargo compartment of the 777-200LR. Each auxiliary tank is 1,850 gallons (7000 liters).
10-2
The vent channels also let a fuel overflow go into the surge tank if necessary.

Fuel Quantity Indicating System Fuel Quantity Indic ating System (FQIS)
COMPONENTS The fuel quantity indicating system (FQIS) does these functions: • • • • •
Measures the fuel quantity Calculates the fuel weight Measures the fuel temperature Controls fueling operations Shows when there is water in the tanks.
These are the FQIS components: • • • • •
Tank units Densitometers Wiring harnesses Water detectors Fuel Quantity processor unit (FQPU).
The 777-200 has 52 tank units in the three tanks. The 777-200ER and 300 have 60 tank units. The 777-
300ER/200LR/Freighter have 76 tank units. Each tank unit is an ultrasonic transmitter/receiver that measures fuel height. The densitometers measure the fuel density in each tank. The wiring harnesses go from the tank units and densitometers to electrical connectors on the front and rear spars. Wiring from the connectors go to the FQPU. OPERATION The FQPU sends a signal to each tank unit to find the fuel height. The tank unit’s transmitter sends a sound pulse from the bottom of the tank to the fuel surface. The FQPU calculates the fuel height by measuring the time it takes for the pulse to give a reflection back to the bottom. The FQPU uses fuel height to calculate the fuel volume. Then the processor multiplies fuel volume and
density to calculate the fuel weight. The processor uses targets on some of the tank units to measure the fuel density. Each tank also has a densitometer which is used to calculate fuel type during refueling. The processor sends fuel quantity data to the AIMS and the integrated refuel panel. There is an ultrasonic water sensor at the bottom of each tank. They send a signal to the processor if there is water in the tank. BITE The FQPU has a different channel for each tank so that one fault does not cause loss of indication in more than one tank. Built-in test equipment (BITE) finds the FQIS faults and sends the data to the AIMS.

Controls and Indications
FUEL JETTISON CONTROL
FUEL MANTENANCE PAGE
CONTROLS
Controls on the fuel jettison panel include:
There is one fuel maintenance page for the left and right tanks, and one page for the center tank. The maintenance pages show this information:
Controls on the fuel management panel include: • • •
Forward and aft boost pump switches for each main tank Forward and aft crossfeed valve switches Left and right override/jettison pump switches for the center tank.
Fuel pump and crossfeed valve switch positions go through the ARINC 629 system buses to the ELMS. When the fuel pump switches are on, the ELMS supplies power to the pumps. When a valve switch is on, the ELMS supplies power to open the valve.
• • •
Left and right nozzle valve switches Fuel to remain selector ARM switch.
The ELMS monitors fuel jettison switch positions through the ARINC 629 system buses. When the jettison system is armed and at least one jettison nozzle valve is commanded open, the ELMS supplies power to the main tank jettison pumps and the jettison isolation valves. The ELMS also calculates the maximum landing weight and time to complete jettison and sends them to the AIMS.
The ELMS monitors the pump pressure switches and valve positions. If there is a disagreement or fault, the ELMS turns on a light on the fuel management panel and sends fault data to the AIMS.
FUEL QUANTITY INDICATION
REFUEL SYSTEM CONTROL
FUEL SYNOPTIC DISPLAY
Both the fuel quantity processor unit (FQPU) and the ELMS control refueling and defueling. The integrated refuel panel sends load select quantity, load select control, and valve switch positions to the FQPU. The FQPU stores the load select fuel quantity in memory. The FQPU sends valve switch positions to the ELMS through the ARINC 629 system buses. The ELMS supplies power to open and close the refuel or defuel valves.
The fuel synoptic display shows a schematic of the fuel system. This schematic shows the configuration of the fuel feed system. It includes this information:
ELMS monitors valve positions and sends them on ARINC 629 to the FQPU. The FQPU sends the valve position signal to the refuel panel for indication. Surge tank overfill sensors send a signal through the IRP to the ELMS. If too much fuel is in the surge tank the ELMS removes power from the refuel valves to close the valves. 10-4

There are six refuel valves, two for each main tank and two for the center tank. The fuel/jettison manifold supplies fuel from the refuel station to the valves. You can fill the tanks individually or all at the same time. The control switches on the integrated refuel panel open and close the refuel valves. The valves also close automatically when one of these occur: • • • •
Tank weight gets to a level set on the refuel panel Tank gets to the volumetric shut off (VSO) Fuel flows into the surge tank You push the overfill test switch.
When you push the system test switch, the valves close and then open again automatically.
Power for the refuel system comes from the ground handling bus or the main battery. Refuel Valves can also be manually operated at the valve. Fuel measuring sticks permit manual fuel quantity measurement.

There are two boost pumps for each main tank and two override/jettison pumps in the center tank to supply fuel to the engines. The fuel flows through the crossfeed manifold to the engines. Redundant crossfeed valves isolate the left and right sides of the manifold.
When the override/jettison pump output pressure decreases because of low fuel quantity in the center tank, the boost pumps automatically supply fuel to the two engines from the main tanks. The pilot puts off the override/jettison pumps. A scavenge jet pump moves the remaining center tank fuel to the main tanks.
APU Fu el Feed Sy st em
The APU can receive fuel from each tank. A dc pump supplies fuel from the left main tank if no ac power is available. When ground service ac power is available, the left forward boost pump automatically operates during an APU start.
At the start of a flight, when all the tanks are full, the normal procedure is to put on all the fuel pumps. The override/jettison pumps supply center tank fuel to the two engines. This occurs because the override/jettison pumps have a higher output pressure than the main tank boost pumps.

10-8
The jettison pumps put main tank fuel into the refuel/jettison manifold. The override/jettison pumps put center tank fuel into the fuel feed manifolds, through the isolation valve, and into the refuel/jettison manifold. The fuel goes overboard through the jettison nozzles. Fuel quantity and jettison time show on EICAS and the fuel synoptic. The jettison system automatically automatically goes off at the maximum landing weight (MLW). You can set the MLW up or down with the FUEL TO REMAIN switch.
Defuel System
The override/jettison and boost pumps put fuel into the engine feed manifold. You open the defuel valve from the refuel panel. Fuel goes through the defuel valve, the refuel/jettison manifold, and the refuel panel adapters into a ground container. FUEL TRANSFER You use the boost pumps and the defuel, crossfeed, and refuel valves for a tank-to-tank transfer on the ground.

The engine indication system supplies engine performance data to the AIMS. The system has these sub-systems:
The engine tachometer system supplies N1 and N2 speed signals to the EEC, AIMS, EDIU, and AVM signal conditioning unit (SCU). The N1 speed transducer supplies the N1 signal. The permanent magnet alternator (PMA) frequency gives the N2 signal. The EICAS display shows N1, and the secondary engine display shows N2.
The AVM system monitors engine vibration. Three accelerometers on each engine supply vibration signals to the remote charge converter (RCC) in the strut. The RCC does an amplification of the signals and sends them to the AVM SCU. The SCU uses the signals and N1 and N2 speed signals to calculate vibration levels. The secondary engine display shows the vibration.
• • • •
Engine pressure ratio (EPR) Tachometer (N1 & N2) Exhaust gas temperature (EGT) Airborne vibration monitoring (AVM).
The EEC uses ARINC 429. An engine data interface unit (EDIU) changes ARINC 429 to ARINC 629 for the airplane ARINC 629 system. EPR EPR is the main thrust indication. It is the ratio of turbine exhaust pressure (P4.95) and fan inlet pressure (P2). The EEC calculates EPR. The EICAS display shows EPR.
EGT MAINTENANCE The EGT sub-system senses low pressure turbine exhaust temperature (T4.95). Four temperature probes supply a signal to the EEC. The EEC uses the signal and sends it to the AIMS. The EICAS display shows EGT.
The maintenance page formats show many engine parameters sent to the AIMS from the EEC. You use a control display unit (CDU) to see maintenance pages. The CMCS stores fault data sent from the EEC. You use the MAT to see the fault data.

Engine Control System Engine Control System
The full authority digital electronic control (FADEC) system controls these engine functions: • • • •
Thrust management Engine systems control Engine fault detection, storage, and recall Engine communication with other airplane systems.
The heart of the system is the electronic engine control (EEC). The EEC is a two-channel digital electronic control. Each channel receives the necessary control inputs. Each channel is also divided functionally so that if it is not able to do a specified control function, it uses that part of the other channel to do it. This is active-active control.
11A-6
Most engine control inputs come from airplane sources. Engine sensors supply engine status data to the EEC. The EEC controls these engine systems: • • • • • • • • •
Fuel Thrust reverser Starting Ignition Probe heat Fuel and oil cooling Compressor airflow Nacelle ventilation Turbine cooling.
The EEC has two modes of operation, normal and alternate. If the normal mode does not operate, the EEC changes to the alternate mode. You can also select the alternate mode with the EEC mode switches.
The engine-driven permanent magnet alternator (PMA) supplies power to the EEC. The flight deck maintenance switch lets airplane power go to the EEC for maintenance.

Engine Fuel System Engine Fuel System
The engine fuel system supplies fuel to the engine for combustion. It cools the engine and IDG oil. It also supplies servo fuel to the fuel metering unit (FMU) and the engine air system actuators and valves. The main gearbox drives a two-stage fuel pump. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel to the FMU. The fuel filter is part of the fuel pump housing. The fuel/oil cooler and servo fuel heater heat the fuel to prevent icing. Both have temperature bypass valves to prevent overheating the fuel.
The EEC controls the FMU and supplies fuel on/off commands. The fuel control switch and fire switch can supply a direct fuel off command to the FMU through the ELMS. The fuel flow transmitter sends a signal to the EEC for primary display system indication. The fuel filter differential pressure switch (attached to the fuel pump housing) also supplies an input to the EEC for indication. Fuel flows from the fuel flow transmitter to the distribution valve. The valve distributes the fuel into eight fuel manifolds that connect to 24 identical fuel nozzles.
The FMU supplies metered fuel to the engine for combustion based upon thrust lever position and the engine’s operating condition. Unused fuel (bypass fuel) goes back to the fuel pump. 11A-7

The nacelle zone ventilation valve supplies fan air to remove heat from the engine core compartment. It operates pneumatically. The turbine case cooling (TCC) air valves supply fan air to remove heat from the HPT and LPT cases. The hydraulically operated TCC air valve actuator moves each valve independently.
Three turbine vane and blade cooling (TVBC) air shutoff valves and one other pipe supply 12th stage compressor air to remove heat from the HPT blades and vanes. The TVBC valves are full open or full closed. They operate pneumatically with control by solenoid relays. The bearing 3 compartment gets continuous cooling with 12th stage air. The 12th stage air first gets cooling from fourth stage air in the buffer air cooler.

START The engine start system supplies the initial engine movement (N2) to permit fuel combustion. These are the components in the system: • • • •
Starter air valve Starter air valve solenoid Starter Flight deck controls.
Pneumatic sources for engine starts include: • • •
APU Ground air Engine crossbleed.
The isolation valves operate automatically to permit different pneumatic configurations. The flight deck controls permit automatic or manual starts. During
an autostart, the autostart switch is ON, and the fuel control switch is in the RUN position at the start of the start. The EEC controls fuel and ignition. The EEC also monitors the start sequence and makes corrections for fault conditions. During a manual start, the autostart switch is OFF, and the fuel control switch is put to the RUN position at maximum motor. The EEC controls fuel and ignition, but the pilot must monitor the start and make corrections for fault conditions. The EEC controls the starter operation with the start air valve solenoid and the starter speed signal. The starter air valve does a modulation to control the starter speed by pulse-width modulation of the starter air valve solenoid. EEC control of the starter speed prevents crash engagements of the starter.
IGNITION Each engine has two ignition systems that operate independently. They supply the spark to start or keep combustion in operation. These are the main components in the ignition system: • • •
Ignition exciters Igniter plugs Flight deck controls.
The flight deck controls permit continuous or automatic selection of ignition. The EEC controls ignition. Relays in the engine relay unit (ERU) connect power to one or the two exciters.

Engine Oil System Engine Oil System
The engine oil system supplies oil to lubricate, remove heat, and clean engine bearings and gearboxes. The system also adds heat to engine fuel to prevent ice in the fuel. The oil system has no regulation, so oil pressure changes with engine speed. The oil system has these subsystems: • • • •
Pressure Scavenge Breather Indication.
PRESSURE The pressure sub-system supplies oil to the engine bearings and gearboxes. Oil flows from the oil tank to the pressure stage of the lube and scavenge pump. Pressurized oil then goes through a filter. The filter does a bypass of the oil if it has a blockage.
11A-10
Oil then flows through the servo fuel heater, engine air/oil heat exchanger, and fuel/oil cooler. The oil adds heat to the fuel as it decreases temperature. The fuel/oil cooler is the primary source of oil cooling. The air/oil cooler operates when necessary. The EEC controls the fuel and oil temperatures in the air/oil heat exchanger and fuel/oil cooler.
BREATHER
SCAVENGE
The indication sub-system supplies oil system data through the EEC to the AIMS. The secondary engine display shows oil pressure, temperature, and quantity. The EICAS display and status display show fault messages. Oil data also shows on the maintenance pages.
The scavenge sub-system removes oil and contaminants from the bearing compartments and gearboxes. The lube and scavenge pump assembly has five scavenge pumps. Each pump removes oil from its related bearing compartment or gearbox and sends it to the oil tank. Magnetic chip detectors remove magnetic particles from the scavenge oil.
The breather sub-system gives a vent for bearing seal pressurization air from the bearing compartments. The deoiler removes air from the oil. The air goes overboard from the main gearbox while oil stays in the system. INDICATION

The T/R system is electrically controlled and hydraulically operated. You can operate it manually for maintenance.
System components in the flight deck include reverse thrust levers and interlock actuators below the control stand.
COMPONENTS
OPERATION
There are two T/R halves on each engine. Each half includes these components:
When you lift the reverse thrust lever, this happens:
• • • •
T/R sleeve Blocker doors Drag links Cascade segments
• • •
The SLV releases the sync lock The DCV moves to the deploy position The EEC commands reverse thrust.
The EEC controls the operation of the T/R. The IV supplies hydraulic pressure to the T/R system. The hydraulic actuators deploy the T/R. When the reverser is deployed, the EEC energizes the interlock actuator. This permits continued movement of the reverse thrust lever to increase reverse power. When you put the reverse thrust lever to the down position, the T/R stows. The locking actuators and the sync lock both lock to keep the reverser stowed. A maintenance switch on the fan case permits a bypass of the EEC engine run logic to permit T/R deployment during maintenance. RVDTs and proximity sensors monitor the T/R system for fault conditions. The RVDTs also supply signals for T/R control and flight deck indications. 11A-11

Engine Indication Engine Indication System
The engine indication system supplies engine performance data to the AIMS and has these subsystems: • • •
Tachometer (N1 & N2) Exhaust gas temperature (EGT) Airborne vibration monitoring (AVM).
The EEC uses ARINC 429. An engine data interface unit (EDIU) changes ARINC 429 to ARINC 629. TACHOMETER The engine tachometer system supplies N1 and N2 signals to: • • • •
EEC AIMS EDIU AVM signal conditioning unit (SCU).
11B-6
The N1 speed sensor on the fan hub frame measures fan shaft speed and is the main thrust indication. The N2 speed sensor is on the gearbox. The EICAS display shows N1 and the secondary engine display shows N2. EGT The EGT subsystem measures temperatures at the low pressure turbine (T49). The -90 series engines use two measurement techniques. At low temperatures, two thermocouple probes supply temperature signals to the EEC. During normal operation above 600C, a pyrometer (infrared sensor) measures the LPT first stage turbine blade temperature and supplies the signal to the EEC. The EEC uses the signals and sends them to the AIMS. EGT shows on the EICAS display. On the -100 series engines 8 thermocouple probes measure T49. The EEC does an average of the inputs for display.
AVM The AVM system monitors engine vibration. Two accelerometers on each engine send vibration signals to the remote charge converter (RCC) in the strut. The RCC does an amplification of the signals and sends them to the AVM signal conditioning unit (SCU). The SCU uses the accelerometer signals and N1 and N2 speed signals to calculate vibration levels. The secondary engine display shows the vibration data. Engine vibration and phase angle data is also stored for use by the onboard engine balancing function of the SCU. MAINTENANCE The maintenance pages show engine data that goes to the AIMS. The AIMS central maintenance function stores fault data that comes from the EEC. You use the MAT to see the fault data.

Engine Control System Engine Control System
The full authority digital electronic control (FADEC) system controls these engine functions: • • • •
Thrust management Engine systems control Engine fault detection, storage, and recall Engine communication with other airplane systems.
The heart of the system is the electronic engine control (EEC). The EEC is a two-channel digital electronic control. Each channel receives the necessary control inputs. Each channel also divides functionally so that if it is not able to do a specified control function. It uses that part of the other channel to do it.
Most engine control inputs come from airplane sources. Engine sensors supply engine status data to the EEC.
The engine-driven control alternator supplies power to the EEC. The flight deck maintenance switch connects airplane power to the EEC for maintenance.
The EEC controls these engine systems: • • • • • • • •
Fuel Thrust reverser Starting Ignition Fuel and oil cooling Compressor airflow Nacelle ventilation Turbine cooling.
The EEC has two modes of operation, normal and alternate. If the normal mode does not operate, the EEC automatically changes to the alternate mode. You can also select the alternate mode with the EEC mode switches.

The main gearbox turns a two-stage fuel pump. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel to the HMU. The fuel filter is part of the fuel pump housing.
11B-8
The main and servo fuel/oil heat exchangers are in a single unit. They add heat to the fuel to prevent icing. The HMU supplies metered fuel to the engine for combustion in relation to thrust lever position and the engine operation condition. Fuel not used (bypass fuel) goes back to the fuel pump. The EEC controls the HMU fuel metering valve. The fuel control switch and fire switch supply a direct command to the fuel shutoff valve in the HMU through the ELMS.
The fuel flow transmitter sends a signal to the EEC for indication on the engine primary format. The fuel filter differential pressure switch on the fuel pump housing also supplies an input to the EEC for indication. Fuel flows from the fuel flow transmitter to two fuel manifolds. The fuel manifolds connect to 30 dual spray fuel nozzles.

Engine Oil System Engine Oil System
The engine oil system supplies oil to lubricate, remove heat, and clean engine bearings and gearboxes. The system also adds heat to engine fuel to prevent ice formation in the fuel. The oil system has no regulation, so oil pressure changes with engine speed. The oil system has these subsystems: • • •
Pressure Scavenge Indication.
PRESSURE The pressure sub-system supplies oil to engine bearings and gearboxes. Oil flows from the oil tank to the pressure stage of the lube and scavenge pump. Pressurized oil then goes through a filter. The filter does a bypass of the oil if it has a blockage.
Oil then flows through the main fuel/oil heat exchanger. The oil adds heat to the fuel as it decreases temperature. Oil flows through the backup generator oil/oil heat exchanger before it goes to the bearings and gearboxes. SCAVENGE The scavenge sub-system removes oil and contaminants from the bearing compartments and gearboxes. The lube and scavenge pump assembly has five scavenge pumps. Each pump removes oil from its bearing compartment or gearbox and sends it to the oil tank. A debris monitoring sensor (DMS) is on the oil tank. It collects ferrous metal particles in the return oil. The DMS signal conditioning module (SCM) makes sure the particle is larger than a certain size and then sends the data to the EEC. The EEC counts the particles that land on the probe. The EEC sends messages to the AIMS
when the number of particles counted exceeds a threshold. INDICATION The indication sub-system supplies oil system data through the EEC and directly to the AIMS. The secondary engine display shows oil pressure, temperature, and quantity. The EICAS display and status display show fault messages. Oil data also shows on the maintenance pages.

•
The engine exhaust system controls the direction of exhaust gases to supply forward and reverse thrust.

These other T/R components are in the strut: • • •
Isolation valve (IV) Directional control valve (DCV) Sync lock valve (SLV).
System components include reverse thrust levers in the flight deck and interlock actuators below the control stand. OPERATION
COMPONENTS There are two T/R halves on each engine. Each half includes: • • • • •
T/R sleeve Blocker doors Drag links Cascade segments Hydraulic actuators
11B-12
When you lift the reverse thrust lever, these three things occur to extend the translating cowl: • • •
SLV releases the sync lock DCV moves to the deploy position EEC energizes the IV.
The EEC controls the operation of the T/R. The IV supplies hydraulic pressure to the T/R system. The hydraulic actuators extend the T/R. When the reverser extends, the EEC energizes the interlock actuators. This permits more movement of the reverse thrust levers to increase reverse power. When you put the reverse thrust lever to the down position, the T/R retracts. The locking actuators and sync shaft lock to keep the reverser in the stowed position. RVDTs and proximity sensors monitor the T/R system for fault conditions. The RVDTs also supply signals for T/R control and flight deck indications. A maintenance switch on the fan case permits a bypass of the EEC engine run logic to let the T/R deploy during maintenance.

The engine shaft speed system supplies N1, N2, and N3 speed signals to the EEC, AIMS, the EDIU, and the AVM signal conditioning unit (SCU). Speed probes supply the N1 and N2 signals through the overspeed protection unit (OPU). The dedicated alternator gives the N3 signal through the electrical power controller unit (PCU). The EICAS display shows N1 and the secondary engine display shows N2 and N3.
The AVM system monitors engine vibration. Three accelerometers on each engine supply vibration signals to the remote charge converter (RCC) in the strut. The RCC amplifies the signals and sends them to the AVM SCU. The SCU uses the signals and rotor speed signals to calculate vibration levels.The secondary engine display shows the vibration. A once-per-rev (OPR) speed probe supplies a signal for fan balancing.

Engine Oil System Engine Oil System
The engine oil system supplies oil to lubricate, cool, and clean engine bearings and gearboxes. The system also heats engine fuel to prevent ice formation in the fuel. The oil system is unregulated so that oil pressure changes with engine speed. The oil system has these subsystems: • • • •
Pressure Scavenge Breather Indication.
PRESSURE The pressure subsystem supplies oil to the engine bearings and gearboxes. Oil flows from the oil tank to the pressure stage of the oil pump. Pressurized oil then goes through a filter. Next, oil flows through the engine air/oil heat exchanger and the fuel cooled oil cooler.
11C-10
The fuel cooled oil cooler is the primary source of cooling for engine oil. When additional cooling is necessary, the EEC sends a signal to open the air/oil heat exchanger valve. This lets fan air cool the oil. The valve is a modulating valve. SCAVENGE The scavenge subsystem removes oil and contaminants from the bearing compartments and gearboxes. The oil pump has a row of scavenge pumps. Each pump removes oil from its related bearing compartment or gearbox and sends it to the oil tank through the scavenge filter. Magnetic chip detectors remove ferrous particles from the scavenge oil.
BREATHER The breather subsystem vents bearing seal pressurization air from the bearing compartments and oil tank. The engine breather in the external gearbox separates air from the oil. The air vents overboard while oil remains in the system. INDICATION The indication subsystem supplies oil pressure and temperature data through the EEC to the AIMS. The oil quantity transmitter has a direct analog connection to the AIMS. The secondary engine display shows oil pressure, temperature, and quantity. The EICAS display and the status display show fault messages. Oil data also shows on the maintenance pages.

•
The engine exhaust system controls the direction of exhaust gases to supply forward and reverse thrust.
•
The thrust reverser (T/R) system supplies reverse thrust to decrease the speed of the airplane on the ground. Fan exhaust turns forward during reverse thrust. The T/R system is electrically controlled and hydraulically operated. You can operate it manually for maintenance.
Synchronizing (sync) shaft and lock Proximity sensors.
These T/R system components are in the strut: • • •
Isolation valve (IV) Directional control valve (DCV) Sync lock valve (SLV).
System components in the flight deck include reverse thrust levers and interlock actuators below the control stand. OPERATION
COMPONENTS There are two T/R halves on each engine. Each half includes: • • • • •
T/R sleeve Blocker doors Drag links Cascade segments Hydraulic actuators
When you lift the reverse thrust lever, these three things occur: • • •
SLV releases the synch shaft lock DCV moves to the deploy position EEC commands reverse thrust.
The EEC controls the operation of the T/R. The IV supplies hydraulic pressure to the T/R system. The hydraulic actuators extend the T/R. When the reverser extends, the EEC energizes the interlock actuator. This permits more movement of the reverse thrust lever to increase reverse power. When you put the reverse thrust lever in the down position, the T/R retracts. The locking actuators and synch shaft lock to keep the reverser in the stowed position. A maintenance switch on the fan case permits a bypass of the EEC engine run logic to let the T/R deploy during maintenance. RVDTs and proximity sensors monitor the T/R system for fault conditions. The RVDTs also supply signals for T/R control and flight deck indications. 11C-11

APU Fuel System Fuel System
The APU fuel system gets fuel from the left main tank and supplies it to the APU for combustion. These are the main components of the fuel system: • •
Fuel cluster Fuel manifolds.
To make maintenance easier, many of the fuel system components are in a cluster. The fuel cluster has these components: • • • • • • • •
Boost and pressure pumps Fuel filter Pressure regulator Pressure relief valve Fuel metering section Flow divider Fuel shutoff valve Fuel temperature sensor.
12-6
The APUC sends fuel control signals to the fuel cluster for normal operation. The APUC also controls fuel flow during start and shutdown (both normal and protective), and adjusts APU generator speed for nobreak electrical power transfers. The APU fuel cluster pressurizes, filters, and meters the fuel flow. The fuel flow divider separates the metered fuel into the primary and secondary fuel manifolds for supply to the combustion chamber. The secondary fuel manifold operates after the APU speed increases to more than 50 percent RPM to supply more fuel flow.
Regulated (servo) fuel pressure operates the inlet guide vane actuator and the surge control valve actuator. Overspeed causes fuel system protective shutdowns. No light-off and no acceleration cause protective shutdowns in the unattended mode only.

The APU supplies pressurized air for these pneumatic system functions: • • • •
Environmental control system (ECS) Air driven hydraulic pumps (ADPs) Main engine start (MES) Wing anti-ice.
The electrical load management system (ELMS) controls the operation of the air inlet door. Air comes into the APU inlet air plenum from the air inlet door. The load compressor gets air from the plenum through variable inlet guide vanes (IGVs). The IGVs control the volume of air available to the load compressor. The load compressor sends pressurized air into the pneumatic ducts.
The APUC controls the IGVs as a function of how the airplane systems use pressurized air. High pressure fuel supplies the force that operates the IGVs.
To make maintenance easier, some pneumatic components are in a cluster. The cluster includes three pneumatic pressure sensors and the surge control valve that mounts on a section of the bleed air duct.
A surge control valve sends any unneeded pressurized air into the APU exhaust. The APUC controls the surge control valve. High pressure fuel supplies the force that operates the surge control valve. A bleed air check valve prevents reverse pressurized air flow from the airplane system.

Hydraulics Features
TRIPLE REDUNDANCY There are three independent hydraulic systems. Each system has two or more pumps that operate from different pneumatic, mechanical, or electrical power sources. Each hydraulic system can independently operate the flight controls for safe flight and landing. PUMP OPERATION ON DEMAND Normally, one or two pumps in each hydraulic system operate continuously. The other pumps operate only when there is a hydraulic demand. This increases pump life, system efficiency, and reliability. AUTOMATIC SYSTEM CONTROLS The flight crew sets the pump switches for flight before engine start. Normally no further action is necessary. The demand pumps operate automatically. Each hydraulic system uses hydraulic interface module electronic cards for automatic control, fault detection, and indications.
Left and right system tubes are on opposite sides of the body. In the wheel wells, there is maximum separation of tubes. In the wings, one system is forward of the rear spar and two systems are aft of the rear spar. CENTER HYDRAULIC ISOLATION SYSTEM

A center hydraulic isolation system (CHIS) supplies a reserve brake and steering function if there is a loss of center hydraulic system fluid. HYDRAULIC FUSES Hydraulic fuses in some of the hydraulic lines to these systems protect against fluid loss: • • • •
Main Gear Steering Brakes Main Gear Actuation Flight Controls.
COMPONENTS GROUPING Hydraulic reservoirs are near the pumps they supply. Pump filter modules are close to each pump. Return filter modules are close to each reservoir. COMMONALITY OF COMPONENTS
RAM AIR TURBINE If all usual pressure sources become unavailable during flight, the ram air turbine is an emergency source of hydraulic power for the primary flight controls. TUBE SEPARATION The location of the hydraulic system tubes decreases the risk of multiple system losses from a single failure source. Only one hydraulic system has tubes in an engine strut and nacelle. Only two systems go to the end of the wings.
All electric pumps are interchangeable. The air-driven pumps and engine-driven pumps are also interchangeable. The pressure and case drain filter modules are the same for the engine-driven pumps and the air-driven pumps. The pressure and case drain filter modules are the same for all electric pumps. SINGLE-POINT RESERVOIR SERVICING A hydraulic reservoir servicing station in the right aft body fairing makes it possible to fill all three reservoirs from one location.

Hydraulic Systems Component Locations Hydraulic Systems
The three hydraulic systems operate independently at 3,000 psi nominal pressure. The three systems are named left (L), center (C) and right (R) for the location of their main components. Each system has its own reservoir, pumps, and filters. LEFT SYSTEM The left system has an engine-driven pump (EDP) and an alternatingcurrent motor pump (ACMP). The right AC bus supplies power to the ACMP. The left system supplies power to the flight controls and the left thrust reverser. RIGHT SYSTEM The right system also has an EDP and an ACMP. The left AC bus supplies power to the ACMP. The right system supplies power to the
flight controls, the normal main gear brakes, and the right thrust reverser.
The RAT deploys automatically during flight when any of these conditions occur:
CENTER SYSTEM The center system has two ACMPs, two air-driven pumps (ADPs) and a ram air turbine (RAT) pump. The left and right AC buses supply power to the ACMPs. Pneumatic power from the two engines or the auxiliary power unit (APU) operates the ADPs. The center system supplies power for these functions: • • • • •
• •
Flight controls Leading edge slats Trailing edge flaps Alternate and reserve main gear brakes Normal and reserve nose gear steering and nose gear extension-retraction Main gear extension-retraction Main gear steering.
• • •
Both engines are shut down Both AC buses are not powered All three hydraulic system pressures are low.
Ram air then turns the turbine. Only the flight controls use hydraulic power from the RAT. The RAT can be retracted only on the ground. PRIMARY AND DEMAND PUMPS The primary pumps are the EDPs in the left and right systems and the ACMPs in the center system. These pumps operate continuously. The demand pumps are the ACMPs for the left and right systems and the ADPs for the center system. These pumps normally operate only during heavy system demands.

Tire Pressure Indication System
The tricycle landing gear has two main landing gear under the wings and one nose landing gear. HYDRAULIC ACTUATION The landing gear operates with center hydraulic system pressure. During normal operation, valves control the sequence of operation. An alternate gear extension system extends the landing gear without center hydraulic system pressure. When the landing gear is fully retracted in flight, valves automatically remove hydraulic pressure from the landing gear. ELECTRICAL CONTROL OF LANDING GEAR The landing gear control lever has two positions and electrically controls the landing gear selector valves for landing gear operation. PROXIMITY SENSOR SYSTEM
TAXI BRAKE RELEASE During low taxi speed, the BSCU releases two brakes on each truck. This decreases brake and tire wear. BRAKE INDICATIONS Lights on the nose gear show if the brakes and the parking brake are applied. TAIL STRIKE INDICATION
The proximity sensor system monitors the position of the proximity sensors and supplies signals to show the position of the landing gear and other aircraft systems.
A tail strike assembly (TSA) on the bottom of the aft part of the fuselage sends signals to the PSEUs if a tail strike occurs.

NORMAL OPERATION
ALTERNATE EXTENSION
The main landing gear strut includes an air-oil shock absorber. A drag brace and a side brace transmit loads from the strut to the airplane structure. Over-center mechanisms lock the two braces when the landing gear fully extends.
The main landing gear uses hydraulic pressure from the center system to retract and extend. Sequence valves control the door and gear movement.
The alternate extension system permits landing gear extension if the center hydraulic system has no pressure. An alternate extend power pack supplies hydraulic pressure to release the landing gear doors and the landing gear. The doors open, and the gear extends by their own weight. The gear doors stay open after an alternate extension.
A landing gear door on each main gear wheel well opens and closes during gear retraction and extension.
Drag brace and side brace downlock actuators lock the gear in the extended position. Uplock hooks lock the landing gear in the retracted position.
GROUND DOOR OPERATION Each truck has three axles. A brake and a wheel-tire assembly are at the end of each axle for a total of six wheels on each main landing gear. The aft axle turns for main gear steering. The 777-300ER has a semi-lever gear for an increased takeoff lift and tail clearance. The truck position actuator locks during takeoff, and airplane rotation is around the rear axle. 14-2
The main landing gear trucks do a tilt of approximately 13 degrees forward wheels up with the gear extended in flight. The gear trucks do a tilt of approximately 5 degrees forward wheels down when the gear is up and locked, or the gear is in transit. The 777-300 and -300ER have a tail skid that extends when the landing gear are selected down. The tail skid provides additional tail strike protection.
The alternate extension system lets you open the doors when the airplane is on the ground. The doors open by their own weight. Center system hydraulic pressure closes the doors.

The nose landing gear strut includes an air-oil shock absorber. A drag brace transmits loads from the strut to the airplane structure. The drag brace folds. At full extension or retraction of the nose gear, the overcenter mechanism of the lock link locks the drag brace.
The nose landing gear uses center system hydraulic pressure to retract and extend. Sequence valves control forward door and landing gear movement.
The alternate extension system permits you to open the forward doors when the airplane is on the ground. The forward doors open by their own weight. The doors close with hydraulic pressure from the center system.
The forward doors of the nose gear wheel well operate hydraulically during gear retraction and extension. The aft doors operate by mechanical linkages that connect to the nose gear. The aft doors close only when the gear retracts.
ALTERNATE EXTENSION Nose gear alternate extension uses hydraulic pressure from the alternate extend power pack. The forward doors open and the landing gear extends by its own weight. The forward doors stay open after an alternate extension.

The proximity sensor system (PSS) monitors the position of some airplane components. The proximity sensor system has two proximity sensor electronic units (PSEUs) which get input from proximity sensors on these systems: • • • •
Landing gear Landing gear doors Passenger entry, cargo and access doors Thrust reversers.
The PSEUs also get signals from the tail strike assembly (TSA) and other airplane systems.
14-6
The tail strike assembly is on the bottom of the airplane in the tail strike area. The TSA has two electrical wires that go to the PSEUs. If a tail strike occurs, the wires will open or short. This tells the PSEUs that there has been a tail strike. The PSEUs supply data to the AIMS through the ARINC 629 system buses. The PSEUs also supply signals for other airplane systems through hard wires.
Ai r/Gro un d Sy st em (AGS)
Two load sensors on each main landing gear support beam send airplane weight on wheels data to two weight on wheels (WOW) cards. The WOW cards supply signals to airplane systems and control air/ground relays in the ELMS. These air/ground relays control electrical circuits for many of the systems. The WOW cards supply data to the AIMS for indication on EICAS and to the ARINC 629 flight control buses.

MAIN GEAR STEERING
NOSE GEAR STEERING
Main gear steering operates when nose wheel steering commands are more than 13 degrees. The main gear steering control unit (MGSCU) receives tiller position and controls the aft axles to steer up to 8 degrees left or right. The heavy duty main gear steers up to 6.5 degrees. Main gear steering also uses center hydraulic system pressure.
Two tillers control the nose wheel movement to a maximum of 70 degrees in each direction. The rudder pedals control the nose wheel movement to a maximum of 7 degrees in each direction. An upper cable loop gets inputs from the tillers or from the rudder pedals through the rudder pedal interconnect mechanism. The upper cable loop drives a lower cable loop. The lower cable loop supplies inputs to the steering metering valve module to supply center hydraulic pressure to the two actuators. The steering metering valve module has a dynamic load damper for shimmy protection. It also has a towing lever to depressurize the nose wheel steering during towing. A pin holds the towing lever in the tow position.
When not steered, the steering/locking actuators align the aft wheels with the forward wheels of the main landing gear and lock the aft axles. The MGSCU monitors the aft axle steering system for faults. Faults stop the operation of the main gear steering system and an EICAS message shows.

Brake System Diagram Brakes
A multiple disc carbon brake is on each main landing gear wheel. There are no brakes on the nose wheels. BRAKE SYSTEM Two sets of brake pedals control the brakes. The pedals connect by cables to the left and right brake metering valves. The metering valves supply hydraulic pressure to the brakes in proportion to the pedal movement. Normal braking uses right system hydraulic pressure and alternate braking uses center system hydraulic pressure. The accumulator isolation valve (AIV) and alternate source selection valve (ASSV) make an automatic selection of normal or alternate braking based on the hydraulic pressure source available. When there is no available hydraulic pressure for normal or alternate 14-8
braking, a BRAKE SOURCE light and an EICAS message alert the flight crew. The brake accumulator then supplies brake pressure for about six full brake applications. Separate brake metering valves, antiskid valves, and hydraulic fuses control the normal and alternate hydraulic pressure to the brakes. The normal and alternate brake lines connect at the shuttle valve modules. PARKING BRAKE The brake accumulator in the right hydraulic system supplies brake pressure to the brakes when there is no hydraulic power on the airplane.
GEAR RETRACT BRAKING During landing gear retraction, center system hydraulic pressure operates actuators on the alternate brake metering valves. The metered pressure stops wheel spin before the wheels enter the wheel wells. The nose gear tires rub against spin brakes in the nose gear wheel well to stop wheel spin as they enter the nose wheel well.

Antiskid and Autobrake Diagram An ti sk id and Au to br ake
The brake system control unit (BSCU) in the aft cargo compartment controls the antiskid and the autobrake systems.
These are the BSCU secondary functions: •
• ANTISKID The primary function of the antiskid system is to control brake pressure to prevent tire skid. The normal antiskid valve modules contain six antiskid valves. In normal braking, each valve controls hydraulic pressure to one brake. The alternate antiskid valve modules contain four valves. In alternate braking, each valve controls pressure to one or two brakes.
•
Control brake pressure for locked wheel and hydroplane/touchdown protection Release, in sequence, one third of the brakes during low speed and low effort braking to reduce brake wear Make sure the antiskid system does not operate during gear retract braking.
AUTOBRAKE Before landing, the pilot arms the autobrake and selects one of five deceleration rates with the autobrake selector. At touchdown with the thrust levers at idle, the BSCU controls the autobrake valve module to meter brake pressure for the selected deceleration rate. On the ground, the autobrake disarms with these pilot inputs. • • •
Thrust lever movement forward Speedbrake lever movement forward Brake pedal application.
The RTO function applies full hydraulic system pressure to the brakes if a takeoff is rejected.
Each wheel has a wheel speed transducer which supplies signals to the BSCU. When a tire skids, the BSCU decreases the brake pressure to keep wheel skid to a minimum. 14-9

A thermocouple in each wheel brake measures the brake temperature. It sends signals to the tire and brake monitoring unit (TBMU). The TBMU shows the temperature for each brake on the landing gear synoptic display and the brake and steering maintenance page. A two digit number that goes from 0.0 (cold) to 9.9 (hot) shows temperature. A brake symbol next to the tire outline on the landing gear synoptic display changes color to show brake temperature conditions. When a brake temperature is more than the value of 5.0, EICAS shows a BRAKE TEMP advisory message. The color of the number and the brake symbol on the synoptic display changes from white to amber to show this condition.

PFCS Operational Overview PFCS Operational Overview
MANUAL OPERATION Position transducers change the flight crew commands of the control wheels, the control columns, the rudder pedals, and the speedbrake lever to analog electrical signals. These signals go to the actuator control electronics (ACEs). The ACEs change the signals to digital format and send them to the primary flight computers (PFCs). The PFCs communicate with the airplane systems through the three flight controls ARINC 629 buses. The PFCs use mid-value selection and averaging on the input command signals. In addition to command signals from the ACEs, the PFCs also receive data from the AIMS, ADIRU, and SAARU. These signals are airspeed, attitude, and inertial reference data. The PFCs calculate the flight control commands based
on control laws, augmentation, and envelope protections. The digital command signals from the PFCs go to the ACEs. The ACEs change these command signals to analog format and send them to the power control units (PCUs). One, two or three PCUs operate each control surface. The PCUs contain a hydraulic actuator, an electro-hydraulic servo-valve, and position feedback transducers. The servo-valve causes the hydraulic actuator to move the control surface. The actuator position transducer sends a position feedback signal to the ACEs. After conversion to digital format, the ACEs send the signal to the PFCs. The ACEs stop the PCU command when the position feedback signal equals the commanded position.
Some of the PCUs have differential pressure transducers to measure the force from the PCU. The PFC uses this pressure data to equalize the force of all PCUs of a control surface. AUTOPILOT OPERATION The PFCs receive autopilot commands from the three autopilot flight director computers (AFDCs). The PFCs calculate the flight control commands in the same manner as for manual operation. In addition, the PFCs supply the backdrive signals to the backdrive actuators through the AFDCs. The backdrive actuators move the control wheels, control columns and rudder pedals in synchronization with the autopilot commands. The movement of the flight deck controls supplies visual feedback of autopilot control to the flight crews.

NORMAL MODE
The secondary mode operates the same as the normal mode except that the protection functions and the autopilot are not available.
All control laws and protection functions are active in the normal mode.The control laws calculate commands for roll, yaw, and pitch control. The protection functions include stall warning, overspeed, overyaw, and bank angle.
DIRECT MODE
The autopilot operates only in the normal mode. It cannot be engaged in the secondary or direct mode.
In the direct mode, position transducer signals (pilot commands) go directly to the ACEs and to the PCUs. The PFCs do not operate in this mode.
15-4
The PFCS changes to the direct mode if sensor data degrades further or if there are failures that make the normal and secondary modes unreliable.
The PFCS protection functions and the autopilot are not available in the direct mode. FLIGHT DECK CONTROLS The PFC disconnect switch, on the P5 overhead panel, has two positions: AUTO and DISC. In the AUTO position, the PFCS mode selection is automatic. When the switch is in the DISC position, the PFCS changes to the direct mode. The PFC disconnect switch permits the pilots to select the direct mode of operation. If the switch is cycled or moved again to AUTO, the PFCS goes from the direct mode to the highest mode available. An amber light adjacent to the switch shows when the PFCS is in the direct mode.

PFCS Roll Control Roll Control
The ailerons, the flaperons, and the spoilers control the roll attitude of the airplane. The spoilers also function as speedbrakes. FLIGHT DECK CONTROLS A cable system connects the two control wheels through a breakout mechanism. A mechanical feel and centering mechanism supplies feel forces to the control wheels. Each control wheel moves three independent position transducers. The position transducer signals go to the ACEs and then to the PFCs. There is a force transducer to detect a pilot override of the bank angle protection. Two trim switches supply power to the aileron trim actuator to move the control wheels. A decal, on the top of
the control wheel, shows the position of the aileron trim. CONTROL SURFACES The ailerons move a maximum of 33 degrees up and 19 degrees down. Counterweights balance the ailerons. The flaperons move a maximum of 11 degrees up and 34 degrees down. Two PCUs operate each aileron and flaperon. The inboard and outboard spoilers move a maximum of 60 degrees up except for spoilers 4 and 11, which move a maximum of 45 degrees. One PCU operates each spoiler. AILERON AND FLAPERON DROOP When the flaps extend, the ailerons and flaperons move down (droop) to increase lift. When drooped, the ailerons and flaperons continue to supply roll control.
AILERON LOCKOUT During high speed flight, the PFCs fair the ailerons to the wing and lock out their operation. At low speed, the PFCs unlock the ailerons and command their operation. SPEEDBRAKE The speedbrake lever, on the control stand, moves a multiple channel speedbrake transducer. The speedbrake transducer signals go to the ACEs and then to the PFCs. In flight, the PFCs command the speedbrakes to extend as a function of the speedbrake lever movement. At high speed, the PFCs prevent the operation of some spoilers. When the airplane lands, the auto speedbrake actuator automatically moves the speedbrake lever to cause the spoilers to deploy. Some spoilers are delayed until the pitch attitude is less than 2 degrees. 15-5

The pedals move two independent position transducers that send their signals to the ACEs and the PFCs. A crank, in front of each pilot, permits the adjustment of the pedals. A rudder trim selector, on the aisle stand, supplies trim signals to the ACEs. The rudder trim actuator moves the rudder pedals when commanded by the ACEs. Two rudder trim rates are available. A rudder trim indicator, also on the aisle stand, shows the rudder trim position. 15-6
A manual trim cancel switch, on the aisle stand, sends a signal to the ACEs to command the trim to zero.
gradually reduces the maximum movement of the rudder as the airspeed increases.
A switch on the P5 overhead panel permits the pilots to disable the thrust asymmetry compensation function.
YAW DAMPING
CONTROL SURFACE The rudder moves a maximum of 27 degrees in either direction. Three PCUs, which get power from different hydraulic power sources, operate the rudder. The rudder PCUs have a pressure valve to increase the PCU pressure when another PCU is not operating. A rudder tab hinges on the rudder. The tab moves mechanically with the rudder to increase its effect. RUDDER RATIO The PFCs calculate the rudder ratio based on airspeed. The rudder ratio
In flight, the PFCs send commands to move the rudder for Dutch roll damping and turn coordination. GUST AND MODAL SUPPRESSION The gust and modal suppression functions increase passenger comfort. The PFCs adjust the rudder position to dampen the effects of side gusts and other causes of lateral motion of the vertical fin. THRUST ASYMMETRY COMPENSATION (TAC) The TAC function helps the pilots during asymmetrical engine thrust. The PFCs send commands to the ACEs to move the rudder.

PFCS Pitch Control - Elevator Pitch Control - Elevator
The elevators supply short-term correction of the pitch attitude of the airplane. FLIGHT DECK CONTROLS The torque tubes of the two control columns connect with a breakout mechanism. Each control column moves three position transducers. The position transducer signals go to the ACEs and then to the PFCs. The force transducers measure the force that the pilot applies to the columns. When the force transducer signal is zero, the PFC uses a zero input position command. Two elevator feel units, one forward of each torque tube, supply limited feel and set the column centers. Two electric actuators, operated by the PFCs through the ACEs, increase the feel forces supplied by
each feel unit. The PFCs control the feel forces as a function of airspeed. CONTROL SURFACES The elevators have hinges on the rear spar of the horizontal stabilizer. The elevators move a maximum of 33 degrees up and 27 degrees down. Two PCUs, which get power from different hydraulic power sources, operate each elevator.
OVERSPEED PROTECTION During an overspeed condition, the PFC causes the elevator to move for an airplane pitch up. SPEED STABILITY AND FLARE COMPENSATION The PFC controls the elevator in pitch up or pitch down in relation to airspeed changes for speed stability.
The elevator PCUs have a pressure reducing valve operated by a solenoid and controlled by an ACE. When a PCU is not in operation, the ACEs increase the pressure on the other PCU for elevator movement.
During flare, the PFC cause a pitch down for the natural attitude of the airplane in ground effect.
STALL PROTECTION
During takeoff, the PFC puts a limit on the pitch and pitch rate to prevent tail strikes and increase payload.
When the airplane gets near a stall condition, the PFC causes the elevator to move for an airplane pitch down.

CONTROL SURFACE
The horizontal stabilizer supplies long-term correction of the pitch attitude of the airplane.
The horizontal stabilizer is a one piece airfoil. It pivots at its rear spar. A ballscrew actuator, attached to the front spar, moves the stabilizer leading edge to a maximum of 4 degrees up and 11 degrees down.
FLIGHT DECK CONTROLS The pilots use two pitch trim switches for manual pitch trim control. The switches, on the outboard of each control wheel, send electrical pitch trim signals to the ACEs. The pilots also use two alternate pitch trim levers on the left of the control stand. Two guarded cut-out switches, on the control stand, control hydraulic shutoff valves to stop hydraulic pressure to the stabilizer. Two stabilizer position indicators, on the control stand, show the position of the stabilizer. A green band on the indicator shows the range of correct stabilizer position for takeoff.
15-8
Two hydraulic motors, which get power from different hydraulic power sources, cause the ballscrew actuator to rotate. Two hydraulic brakes prevent the ballscrew actuator from moving. Two stabilizer trim control modules (STCMs) receive commands from the ACEs to control the hydraulic pressure to the motors and brakes. A shutoff valve, on each STCM, stops hydraulic power when the applicable cutout switch is in the CUTOUT position. Cables transmit the stabilizer movement to three stabilizer position modules (SPMs) in the stabilizer
compartment. The SPMs supply stabilizer position data to the ACEs. ELEVATOR OFFLOAD In the normal mode of operation, the PFCs command pitch trim when the elevator is not faired to the stabilizer for more than a set time. COLUMN CUTOUT When the pilot moves the control column in the opposite direction of the pitch trim direction, the PFCs cut out the pitch command to the STCMs. This stops the stabilizer ballscrew. STABILIZER AUTO SHUTDOWN If there is an uncommanded pitch trim, the PFCs command the STCM hydraulic shutoff valves to close.

HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
A cable-driven system controls two spoilers and the stabilizer.
The pilots use two alternate pitch trim levers and a set of cables to send mechanical control signals to the horizontal stabilizer. Two alternate pitch trim levers on the control stand connect to valves on each stabilizer trim control module (STCM).If the pilots move both levers in the same direction, this moves the valves in the STCMs. This sends hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic motors and brakes to move the horizontal stabilizer.
SPOILERS The pilots use the control wheels and cables to mechanically control signals to spoilers 4 and 11. The captain’s or first officer’s control wheel controls the position of a hydraulic control valve on the spoiler PCUs. This causes the hydraulic PCUs to move the spoilers. In normal mode only, the PFCs calculate commands to electrically control spoilers 4 and 11 as speed brakes. Spoilers 4 and 11 deploy to a maximum of 45 degrees.

High Lift Surfaces High Lift Surfaces
TRAILING EDGE FLAPS The trailing edge flaps have an inboard double slotted flap and an outboard single slotted flap on each wing. The flaps have six positions: up, 5, 15, 20, 25, and 30. The takeoff setting is at 5, 15, or 20. The landing setting is at 25 or 30. The flaps retract at settings 1 and up. Hydraulic or electric motors on the flap PDU turn the flap torque tubes. The torque tubes operate the flap transmission assemblies. The transmission assemblies use a ballscrew and gimbal to extend and retract the flaps. LEADING EDGE SLATS The leading edge slat system has seven slats and one Krueger flap on 15-12
each wing. The Krueger flap seals the gap between the engine strut and the inboard slat. The slats have these three positions: • • •
Cruise (retracted) Takeoff (sealed) Landing (gapped).
The Krueger flap has only two positions: retracted and deployed. Hydraulic or electric motors on the slat power drive unit (PDU) turn the slat torque tubes. The torque tubes drive the slat rotary actuators. The rotary actuators extend and retract the slats with a rack and pinion drive. FLAP/SLAT ELECTRONIC UNITS Two identical and interchangeable flap/slat electronic units (FSEUs), in the main equipment center, process the high lift commands.
FLAP POSITION SENSING There are two position sensors on each side of the flap PDU. These sensors supply the flap position to the FSEUs for control and monitoring. The FSEUs also receive inputs from 16 flap skew sensors. These sensors are on the flap linkages and monitor for flap misalignment. SLAT POSITION SENSING There are two position sensors at each end of the slat torque tubes. These sensors supply the slat position to the FSEUs for closed loop control and for monitoring. The FSEUs also receive inputs from 12 slat skew/loss proximity sensors. These sensors monitor for slat misalignment and for a lost slat.

HLCS Operational Overview HLCS Operational Overview
The high lift control system (HLCS) extends and retracts the trailing edge and leading edge devices. The HLCS operates in three modes: • • •
Primary Secondary Alternate.
PRIMARY MODE The primary mode has a fly-by-wire closed loop control and operates hydraulically. The pilot controls the HLCS with the flap lever on the control stand. The lever has seven detents with gates at detents 1 and 20. Four sensors transmit the flap lever position to the two FSEUs. The FSEUs receive and transmit data on the systems ARINC 629 buses. Other airplane systems supply airspeed and hydraulic data
through these buses for the high lift protection functions. The FSEUs control solenoids in the primary control valves. These valves control the hydraulic power to the hydraulic motors on the flap and slat PDUs. These motors operate the flap and slat mechanisms. The FSEUs also operate the autoslat priority valve for autoslat extension when the airplane is near a stall condition. SECONDARY MODE If the FSEUs find a fault in primary mode, they switch to the secondary mode. The secondary mode operates electrically, but the pilot control is the same as in the primary mode. The FSEUs control the secondary/alternate control relays. These relays engage clutches and
supply electrical power to electric motors on the flap and slat PDUs. The electric motors move the flap and slat mechanisms. ALTERNATE MODE The alternate mode is independent of the FSEUs and uses electrical power to move the flaps and slats. The pilot selects the alternate mode with the alternate flaps arm switch. The pilot then selects extend or retract using the alternate flaps selector. These switches are on the control stand, outboard of the flap lever. These switches control the secondary/alternate control relays for the flaps and slats in the same way as the secondary mode. The alternate mode uses flap and slat limit switches to limit the flaps to 20 degrees and the slats to the sealed position.

When the system changes to the secondary mode, the flap/slat indication expands to show position tapes for both the slats and flaps on each wing. A magenta command bar and detent number shows the flap setting. The command bar and detent number change to green when the surface position agrees with the flap lever command. The tape, command bar, and detent number change to amber to show faults in the secondary mode.
The alternate mode display shows when the alternate system is armed. This display is similar to the secondary mode display, except the command bars do not show and tick marks show flap lever detent positions. The alternate mode uses X’s on the tapes to show faults.
PRIMARY MODE DISPLAY The primary mode display is a single white tape that moves down as the flaps and slats extend. A magenta command bar and detent number shows the flap setting. The command bar and detent number change to green when the surface position agrees with the flap lever command. The primary mode display goes out of view 10 seconds after the flaps and slats fully retract and the flap lever is in the UP position.

HLCS Functions HLCS Functi ons
The FSEUs control the sequence of the flaps and slats extension and retraction. The FSEUs also supply protection functions such as autoslat extension, load relief and skew or asymmetry. FLAP AND SLAT SEQUENCE The flaps and slats extend and retract in sequence. This sequence is different in the three modes of operation. In the primary mode, the slats extend to the sealed position before the flaps extend. When the flap lever is at 25 or 30, the slats extend to the gapped position before the flaps extend from the 20 position. In the secondary mode, the slats extend to the gapped position before the flaps extend.
In the alternate mode, the slats and flaps extend at the same time. In all three modes, the flaps retract before the slats retract. AUTOSLAT The autoslat function improves the airplane stall performance near stall conditions. The autoslat function is available only in the primary (hydraulic) mode. When the airplane is near a stall condition, the FSEUs send a command to extend the slats from the takeoff (sealed) position to the landing (gapped) position. The slats return to the takeoff position when the airplane is no longer near a stall condition. LOAD RELIEF The flap and slat load relief functions protect the flaps and slats from
airload damage. The flap load relief function is available only in the primary (hydraulic) mode. The slat load relief function is available only in the secondary (electric) mode. When the airspeed is more than set levels, the flaps retract to a new position. This new position depends on airspeed. The slats retract from the gapped to the sealed position. When the airspeed is less than the reset value, the flaps extend to the commanded position. The slats extend to the gapped position. When load relief is active, the EICAS display shows a LOAD RELIEF message adjacent to the flap/slat indication. SKEW OR ASYMMETRY When the FSEUs detect a skew or asymmetry, they shut down the flap or slat drive.

The system automatically removes pneumatic loads if the airplane stalls.
EQUIPMENT COOLING
The controller BITE monitors and tests components to the LRU level. AIR CONDITIONING The airplane has seven temperature control zones. The system can have as many as sixteen zones to permit options, without adding more controllers. Two controllers control the air conditioning system. They both do zone and pack control. Each controller has two control channels.
The aft system uses the lavatory and galley ventilation system. It pulls air through aft electrical equipment. FREIGHTER EQUIPMENT COOLING
The controller BITE monitors and tests components to the LRU level.
The forward system uses conditioned air from the left pack with trim air thru a 3-way valve to cool the equipment in the flight deck.
Air bearings in the air cycle machine, and a mechanical water collector reduce service needs.
The forward system also uses the supply and vent system to cool the main equipment center.
An optional gasper system gives additional air circulation at each passenger seat.
CARGO COMPARTMENT HEATING AND VENTILATION
Electric heaters give additional heat in the flight deck, galleys, and door areas for crew and passenger comfort.
Waste heat from the exhaust part of the forward equipment cooling system heats the forward cargo compartment. Hot air from the pneumatic system heats the aft and bulk cargo compartments. Ventilation permits the transport of animals in the bulk cargo compartment.

There are two air supply cabin pressure controllers (ASCPCs) in the main equipment center. They use data about the air sources and air users to select the valve positions. The data for automatic operation comes from these: • • • • • • • • • • • •
Airfoil and cowl ice protection system (ACIPS) Autopilot flight director system (AFDS) Airplane information management system (AIMS) Air supply cabin pressure controllers (ASCPC) Auxiliary power unit controller (APUC) Cabin temperature controller (CTC) Duct leak and overheat detection (DLODS) ECS miscellaneous card (ECSMC) Electronic engine control (EEC) Electrical load management system (ELMS) Flap slat electronics unit (FSEU) Hydraulic interface module (HYDIM) cards
16-2
• • •
Engine bleed air supply Isolation valves APU shutoff valves.
Sensors (not shown) in the system give the controllers pressure, temperature, valve position, and flow data. Engine bleed air comes from either an intermediate stage or the high stage of the engine high pressure compressor. The controllers use engine pressure and airplane altitude to make the stage selection. The high pressure shutoff valve (HPSOV) controls system pressure when the high stage supplies the bleed air. A check valve prevents reverse flow through the intermediate pressure port. The pressure regulating and shutoff valve (PRSOV) controls system pressure when the intermediate stage supplies the bleed air.
Air from the engine fan section cools engine bleed air in the precooler. If the bleed air does not cool sufficiently, the PRSOV reduces the air flow to keep the temperature to a limit. Over-pressure and over-temperature bleed air and duct leak conditions causes a system protective shutdown.

Pack Airflow Pack Air Flow
Two flow control and shutoff valves control air flow from the pneumatic system to each pack. One valve is open at a time.The upper valve is open at altitudes up to 26,000 feet (7930m). Above 26,000 feet the lower valve opens to let air go through the ozone converter. When the airplane goes below 24,000 feet (7315m), the upper valve opens and the lower valve closes. Heat exchangers use ambient ram air to remove heat from the pneumatic system and the air cycle machine (ACM) compressor. The air cools more in the condenser. The water collector removes water that has condensed and sends it to the ram air for evaporative cooling. Air from the collector warms in the reheater to remove any ice particles. Air expands in the turbines of the ACM to give cooling. 16-4
The cabin temperature controller (CTC) controls the turbine bypass valve, low limit valve, and ram air doors to adjust the air temperature from the packs. The controllers use data from sensors for control and indication.
valve. It does not go through the ACM. The CTC modulates only the ram air doors to control cooling air flow through the heat exchangers.
When less cooling is necessary, the pack goes to the economy cooling mode. The economy cooling valve opens to decrease the air flow through the compressor and turbine. This decreases the pneumatic pressure needed for pack air flow.The CTCs modulate the turbine bypass valve and ram air doors to control pack outlet temperature.
Connections for ground conditioned air are in the ECS bays in the ducts that come from the packs. Normally air from the left side goes to the flight deck and the mix manifold and air from the right side goes only to the mix manifold.
If there is a failure of the ACM, or the condenser inlet temperature sensors, or if the economy cooling valve fails open, the pack can operate in the standby cooling mode. Air goes through the economy cooling check valve, the economy cooling valve, and the turbine bypass
Distribution Air Flow (passenger)
Air from the left pack also goes to the optional overhead flight crew and attendant rest areas. The mix manifold is in the aft end of the forward cargo compartment. Ducts and risers for each zone connect the mix manifold to conditioned air distribution ducts above both passenger compartment aisles. The ducts have outlets that let air go into the passenger compartment.

Gasper (Optional)
There are two cabin temperature controllers (CTCs) that give normal air conditioning control. Each CTC has two channels for redundancy. There are two air supply cabin pressure controllers (ASCPCs) that give backup control.
Air from the passenger cabin goes through return air grilles to the area between the fuselage skin and sealed cargo compartments. Some of this air goes out of the airplane through the pressurization outflow valves.
The gasper system increases air flow in the passenger cabin through outlets in the passenger service units (PSUs). The system has these components:
The left controllers control these left components:
The lower recirculation fans get air from the area between the fuselage skin and sealed cargo compartments. The upper recirculation fans get air from above the passenger compartment ceiling near passenger doors two and three. They move the air through filters into the distribution system.

The right controllers control the right side. There are two control panels. The flight crew uses the air conditioning panel on the P5 to do these functions: • • • •
Operate the air conditioning packs Operate the recirculation fans Set the flight deck temperature Set the cabin temperature.
The cabin crew can use the cabin temperature screen on cabin services system (CSS) control panels to adjust the temperature of each cabin zone 10F (6C) above or below the set temperature. Sensors in the flight deck and passenger zones give temperature information to the controllers. The controllers control the pack to get air temperature for the zone that is set the lowest. The controllers use information from the temperature sensors in the mix manifold to adjust the pack temperature because of the temperature of recirculation air. The controllers control the trim air system to warm the air that goes to zones that are set higher than the lowest set temperature. There are temperature sensors in the ducts that carry air to the zones. The controllers use their information to control the packs and trim air systems.

The pack flow controls the quantity of fresh air that flows into the airplane. Ozone converters remove ozone from the fresh air above 26,ooo feet. Zone temperature control increases the temperature of the conditioned air that flows into the different zones of the airplane. Trim air pressure regulating and shutoff valves along with zone trim air modulating valves control the different zone temperatures. The flight deck and supernumerary area are controlled together. The main deck cargo compartment has two zones. The 16-8

forward cargo compartment and electronic equipment cooling also have conditioned airflow. Aft cargo compartment air conditioning is optional. Flight deck control panels let the flight crew set the desired temperature for the different zones of the airplane. The recirculation fans move air from the supernumerary area and forward main deck cargo compartment into the mix manifold. This reduces the amount of trim air needed for air conditioning. Air distribution ducts go from the mix manifold through risers to air distribution manifolds in the different zones.

The forward equipment cooling system has two supply fans. The lower fan operates. The upper gives automatic backup. They send air from around the cargo compartment to the override valve. When one disc of this valve is open, the other is closed. Normally the upper disc is open. When the lower disc is open, the valve is in the override position.In the normal position supply fan air goes to this equipment: • • • •
Main equipment center E5 and E16 racks near the forward cargo compartment door Forward equipment center Flight deck.
The vent fan pulls the air from these areas except the E5 and E16 racks. It sends the air to the vent valve and the forward cargo heat valve. When 16-10
one of these valves is open, the other is closed. The cargo heat valve is part of the cargo heat system. It is open when the outside temperature is less than 45F (7C). At a temperature more than 45F (7C), the vent valve is open. The outlet from the vent valve is near the forward pressurization outflow valve. When the vent valve is open, air goes overboard through the outflow valve. There is a smoke detector. The supply fans and vent fan push air through the smoke detector. The detector uses LED photoelectric cells to find if there is smoke in the air. There are also flow detectors. Smoke or low flow will cause the system to go to the override mode. Also, the flight crew can use the equipment cooling switch for the override mode. In this mode, the: • •
Supply fans stop Vent fan stops
•
Override valve goes to the override position.
The converter supplemental cooling fan operates when the supply fans are off, to supply cooling air to the backup electrical power system. There are two lavatory and galley ventilation fans. The right fan operates. The left fan gives automatic backup.The fans pull air: • • • •
Through temperature sensors Through equipment on racks From lavatories From galleys.
The air goes overboard through the aft pressurization outflow valve. The two ECSMCs control the forward system, and the lavatory and galley vent fans. They use controllers to control the forward system supply fans and the override valve.

The freighter forward equipment cooling system operation is similar to the passenger airplane. Differences in operation of the system are described here. The freighter has a three way valve in the flight deck cooling air supply duct. This valve opens in the air and provides conditioned air for flight deck equipment cooling. Operation of the vavle prevents odors from the main deck cargo compartment going to the flight deck.The valve also operates during the fire protection system decompression mode. The freighter has forward lower cargo air conditioning. The equipment inboard valve opens to let warm equipment exhaust air into the mix bay area in flight to add heat. On the ground this valve is closed and air goes to the vent valve and
overboard through the forward outflow valve. Forward equipment exhaust air can also be used for forward cargo heat if the forward cargo air conditioning system is off. Forward lower cargo compartment ventilation comes from an exhaust fan on the ground. The freighter ventilation system has two lavatory and galley vent fans. One fan operates and the other provides a backup. The ventilation system moves air through these areas and components:
The freighter has an alternate ventilation system for unpressurized flight at or below 10,000 feet. The ALTN VENT switch on the air conditioning Panel activates this function. The switch is guarded to prevent inadvertent operation. When activated: •

Passenger Aft and Bulk Cargo Compartment Heating System
Cargo Compartment Heating and Bulk Cargo Compartment Ventilation Cargo Compartment Heating and Bulk Cargo Compartment Ventilation
The forward, aft, and bulk cargo compartments each have heating systems. The freighter has combined aft and bulk cargo heating with a single shutoff and temperature control valve. On the passenger airplane the bulk cargo compartment also has a ventilation system. The forward cargo compartment heating system uses vent air from the forward equipment cooling system. The two ECSMCs give control. There is no control switch. The AIMS tells the ECSMC when the total air temperature (TAT) is less than 50F (10C). The card tells ELMS to close the vent valve and open the forward cargo heat valve. The warm air flows into the forward cargo compartment. 16-12
The passenger aft and bulk cargo compartment heating systems are independent of each other. The ECSMCs control the systems. Air from the pneumatic system is the heat source. Each compartment has these components: • • • •
Shutoff valve Temperature control valve Temperature sensor Control switch on P61.
The valve operation for both compartments is the same.The crew sets HIGH or LOW on the control switch. The ECSMC tells the ELMS to open the shutoff valve.
The ELMS also opens and closes the temperature control valve. When the switch is set to LOW, the control valve opens at a compartment temperature of 40F (4C) and closes at 50F (10C). When the switch is set to HIGH, the valve opens at a compartment temperature of 65F (18C) and closes at 75F (24C). The crew uses HIGH for the bulk cargo compartment when animals are in the cargo.This turns on the bulk cargo ventilation fan. The fan takes cabin air from around the compartment and blows it into the compartment. Smoke in the compartments causes the heating and ventilation systems to stop operation.

The pressurization system controls the air pressure inside the airplane for the comfort and safety of the passengers and crew. The pressurization system has these components: • •
•
• •
•
Control panel on the P5 overhead panel Two air supply cabin pressure controllers (ASCPC), in the main equipment center Two outflow valve assemblies, one each below the left forward and left aft passenger doors Remote cabin pressure sensor in the main equipment center Two positive pressure relief valves in the forward cargo compartment, opposite the cargo door Four negative pressure relief vents in the forward cargo compartment, two on each side.
The left ASCPC controls cabin pressure automatically. The right ASCPC gives automatic backup control. Control data comes from the: • • • • •
AIMS Landing altitude select switch on the control panel Cabin pressure sensors on the controllers Remote cabin pressure sensor Weight on wheels card.
The air conditioning packs put air into the airplane. The outflow valves control the rate at which the air goes out of the airplane. There are two motors on each outflow valve assembly. Each ASCPC uses one motor on each valve assembly to control the valve position. A controller on each valve controls motor operation. For manual control of the outflow valves, the crew uses the switches
on the panel. They use the pushbutton switch to turn off the auto control for a valve. They use the toggle switch to open or close the valve. These indications show on the primary display system: • • • • • •
Cabin altitude Cabin altitude rate of change Differential pressure Selected landing altitude Outflow valve positions System problems.
Differential pressure is the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the airplane. The maximum pressure is 8.6 psi. The positive pressure relief valves open if the pressure inside the airplane is too high. If the pressure outside the airplane is higher than the pressure inside, the negative pressure vents open. 16-13

Nitrogen Generation System Nitrogen Generation System
The Nitrogen Generation System (NGS) makes nitrogen enriched air that goes into the center fuel tank. This is done to decrease the center tank flammability. The NGS components are external to the fuselage, forward of the left and right air conditioning pack bays. The NGS has these four main subsystems: • • • •
Thermal Control Unit Air Separation Unit Nitrogen Enriched Air Distribution System Control Systems
The NGS uses bleed air from the pneumatic system. When the shutoff valve is open, air enters the thermal control unit (TCU) and is directed in three possible paths. One path is through the ozone converter, primary heat exchanger inlet and heat exchanger bypass. The second path is through the ozone converter, hot
side of the regen heat exchanger and compressor section of the turbocompressor. It then merges with the heat exchanger inlet and bypass bleed air. The third path is through the turbo-compressor shutoff valve (TCSOV), the turbine section of the turbo-compressor, the cold side of the regen heat exchanger inlet and then overboard. The TCU uses a ram cooling system independent of the air conditioning pack system. Ram air goes through an inlet and passed through the cold side of the primary heat exchanger to cool the bleed air supply. The ram air is then discharged overboard. An electric fan provides cooling during ground operations. The air separation unit (ASU) includes three air separation modules (ASMs). The ASMs consist of numerous hollow fibers, each with a selective permeable membrane designed to allow oxygen to easily
pass through while other gasses, such as nitrogen, cannot. The oxygen enriched air goes overboard while the nitrogen enriched air goes to the center fuel tank vent system to provide center tank inerting. Air enters the ASU through the overtemperature shutoff valve (OTSOV). This is normally open when the system is operating and will close if the air supply temperature gets too hot. Bleed air flows equally through the three ASMs whenever the system is operating. The NGS controller provides system operation and condition monitoring functions. These include overpressure and over temperature control, under temperature detection and nitrogen enriched air purity monitoring.

The airplane is in the air The selector is in auto Ice is detected.
The flight crew can also use the selector to turn on the system on the ground or in the air.
Hot bleed air flows from the EAI valve, through a duct, and into the inside of the engine inlet cowl. The bleed air leaves the cowl through an overboard vent on the bottom of the cowl. Two pressure sensors are in the EAI duct for each engine. The sensors give pressure information to the EAI ACIPS card to control the valve position. There is an overheat detector adjacent to the EAI duct. When the detector senses a leak, the duct leak and overheat detection system (DLODS) sends a signal to the applicable ACIPS card. It closes the EAI valve.

The window heat system prevents ice and fog on the flight deck windows. Electrically resistive material in the window lamination heats the windows. The heat layer for the number two and three windows is near the inside surface. It is for antifog. The number one window has two heat layers. The one near the inside surface is for anti-fog. The one near the outside surface is for anti-ice. Two window heat control units (WHCUs) in the main equipment center control the system. One controls the power for the left number one window and the right number two and three windows. The other controls the power for the right number one window and the left number two and three windows. A backup heat circuit in the controllers
gives power to the number one window anti-fog circuit. The window heat switches are on the P5 overhead panel. The switches for the backup window heat system are on the P61 overhead maintenance panel. When the window heat switches are on, the controllers send power to the number one window anti-ice layer and the number two and three window anti-fog layer.
The WHCUs reduce their power output to the number one windows during the first four minutes of operation. This reduces the thermal stress on the number one windows. The WHCUs contain an automatic shutoff circuit to protect the windows from overheat conditions.
A controller sends power to the number one window anti-fog layer if the anti-ice heat fails or if the window heat switch is off. The backup window heat switch on the P61 lets maintenance personnel remove backup heat power.

The engine turbine overheat detection system monitors the temperature of the cooling air at the front and rear of the intermediate pressure (IP) turbine. Engine fire warnings occur in the flight deck if the front or rear temperature is more than limits. Two thermocouples give IP cooling air temperature information to the electronic engine controller (EEC). The EEC makes an analysis of the temperature information. If the EEC finds an overheat condition, it sends a signal to the engine fire detection card. The fire detection card turns on the engine fire warning indications in the flight deck.
BITE does a check of the condition of the system. Status and maintenance messages give information about system failures. The fire detection card monitors its interface with the EEC for failures and sends information about the failure to the AIMS. The EEC monitors the thermocouple circuits for failures. The EEC sends information about the failure through the engine data interface unit (EDIU) to the AIMS. The FIRE/OVHT TEST switch in the flight deck does not do a test of this system.

A high pressure oxygen cylinder supplies oxygen to the fight crew. A second cylinder is optional. The freighter has three cylinders. The cylinder location is on the left side of the main equipment center. A pressure regulator on the oxygen cylinder decreases the pressure to the flight deck to 60 to 85 psig. A second pressure regulator on the crew mask also makes sure the pressure is not more than 60 to 85 psig. CONTROL AND INDICATIONS There is a pressure gage on the cylinder. There is a pressure transducer on the supply line that goes to the flight deck. The pressure transducer sends a signal to the optional fill panel and to the AIMS for the primary display system.
The bleed valve opens for 25 seconds (45 seconds for the freighter) when the first engine starts. If the cylinder shutoff valve is not open, oxygen does not pressurize the supply line. The flight crew will see the low pressure on the status display.
The user holds the control and puts on the mask with the harness inflated. The user releases the lever and the harness deflates. Elastic in the harness holds the mask to the users face.
CREW OXYGEN MASK STOWAGE
Oxygen flows into the mask when the user breathes. Controls on the mask lets the user set the oxygen to normal (diluted oxygen on demand), 100 percent (100 percent oxygen on demand), or emergency flow (continuous oxygen). The flow indicator on the stowage box shows the flow to the mask.
The oxygen mask and regulator are in a stowage box at each crew position. A valve in the box controls the oxygen flow to the mask. The box door opens the valve when the door is opened. You use a reset control on the box to close the valve after you close the door.
REGULATOR CONTROLS
PNEUMATIC HARNESS A pneumatic harness holds the mask to the user’s face. A lever on the mask controls the inflation of the mask harness.

Passenger Potable and Gray Water Systems Potable Water System
There are water tanks aft of the bulk cargo compartment. The usable quantity of each tank is 109 gallons (413 liters). 777-200 airplanes have two water tanks. The 777 freighter has a single 40 gallon water tank. Electric motor driven water pumps push the potable water through the distribution system to the lavatories and galleys. The pump controller turns on pump 1 when the pressure switch in the distribution line pressure is low. If the pressure is still low, after a delay, the controller turns on pump 2. The pump controller stops the pump operation when the water tanks are serviced.
19-10
The tank quantity sensors and transmitters give information to: • • •
The cabin services system Service panel gages Optional quantity preselect systems (not shown).
The standard system configuration has an aft potable water service panel and a forward potable water system drain panel. The aft service panel is below the aft end of the aft cargo compartment. The drain panel is forward of and below the right wing. You use the aft panel to fill. You can use the gage to monitor the quantity, or fill the tanks until water comes out of the tank overflow and drain.You use both the forward and aft panels to drain the system.
There is a quantity preselect option (not shown). The controls and fill connections can be on a dedicated forward potable water service panel below the number one left passenger door, or on the aft potable water service panel. You use a switch to select the quantity. The fill valves open. They close when the selected quantity is in the tanks. Gray Water System
The gray water system drains water from the galley and lavatory sinks through two drain masts on the bottom of the fuselage. There are restrictor valves in the system to reduce air noise. Water pressure in the lines opens the valves. They are fail safe to the open position and are open on the ground.

Passenger Lavatory Waste System Lavatory Waste System
Each lavatory has a vacuum toilet. Three waste tanks outboard of the left wall of the bulk cargo compartment hold the waste. The total waste capacity is 189 gallons for the 777-200 and -200ER. The total waste capacity is 229 gallons for the 777-300. The waste tank service panel is on the bottom aft fuselage. Waste lines connect the lavatories to the waste tanks. Each tank gets waste from a specified group of lavatories. A vacuum in the tank pulls the waste from the toilet into the tank. Below 16,000 feet, a vacuum blower causes the vacuum. Above 16,000 feet, the ambient atmosphere causes the vacuum.
Each toilet has a flush switch that connects to a flush control unit (FCU). When a person pushes the flush switch, the FCU starts the flush cycle. During the flush cycle: • •
The waste moves from the toilet into the waste tank Potable water flushes the toilet.
There are two tank full sensors and a logic control module (LCM) for each tank. If a tank is full, the LCM: •
•
Prevents operation of the lavatories that connect to that tank Shows a tank full message on the CSS.
There is a continuous level sensor and two point level sensors on each tank. Sensor information goes to an LCM on each tank. Continuous level sensor information shows on the CSS. The point level sensor information is used to stop toilet operation when a tank is full. The waste tank service panel has one drain connection. It has a drain handle and a rinse connection for each of the three tanks. This lets the ground crew do servicing of each tank independently from the other tanks.
There are two vacuum blowers. One is for the forward tank, and the other is for the mid and aft tanks. 19-11

Entry Doors Entry Doors
There are four passenger entry doors on each side of the airplane (-200). There are five passenger entry doors on each side of the airplane (-300). The overwing doors are for emergency use only. The freighter has two doors to the supernumerary area. The door openings have sufficient width to let two people go through the door at the same time. The doors are plug type that open outward. There are stops on the door and on the door frame. The door stops put the pressurization load on the frame stops.
All of the doors operate manually from inside and outside of the airplane. A single hinge arm attaches the middle of the door to the door frame. The mechanism that connects the door to the hinge permits this door movement: • •
Move up and down Turn in relation to the hinge arm.
As the door opens, it first moves up so the door stops can move over the frame stops. The door then moves outward and forward. The programming mechanism chain keeps the inboard side of the door toward the airplane. The door does not turn in relation to the airplane. The inboard side of the door always faces inboard.
A hold-open mechanism holds the door in the open position. The mode select lever lets the cabin attendants arm the emergency power assist system (EPAS) and the escape slides. The EPAS uses compressed gas from a reservoir to help open the doors in an emergency. The gas goes from the reservoir to an actuator (not shown). The actuator connects to the programming chain. It uses the chain to open the door. Each door has a flight lock assembly that locks the door when airspeed is more than 80 knots.

This system has these components: • • • • •
Chime module Door strike assembly Pressure sensor Control panel Keypad.
The chime module is a computer that controls the system. It controls the strike assembly and system indications. It also lets you set the access code and system time delays.
The strike assembly has a solenoid that extends or retracts a pin to lock or release the strike. The pressure sensor finds a loss of pressurization in the flight compartment. If there is a loss of pressurization, the sensor opens the circuit to the solenoid in the strike assembly. This releases the strike and lets the door open to make the pressure equal. The pilots can control the strike assembly with a switch on the control panel. Lights on the control panel show system status. A keypad lets authorized people go into the flight compartment after they put in the correct access code. Power to lock the strike comes from 28v dc left bus. If power is lost, the door strike releases. This safety feature releases the door strike in an emergency.

Electrical power for the system comes from the ground handling bus.
A powered cargo handling system is in the main deck cargo compartment. There are 102 spring lift power drive units (PDUs) in the floor of the main deck. The PDUs move cargo forward and aft. There are 12 freighter common turntables (FCTs). FCTs move cargo in and out of the airplane, rotate cargo, move cargo from side to side and forward and aft.
• • • • •
Operation of the cargo power drive system is inhibited when the main deck cargo door (MDCD) is not fully open. This reduces the possibility of cargo contacting the door.

The tip alarm system monitors the tipping condition by detecting a minimum load on the nose landing gear. A proximity sensor activates the tip alarm at a predetermined extension of the shock strut. In addition to alerting personnel, the tip alarm system outputs to the Main deck cargo handling system. This ceases movement of cargo in a direction to prevent tipping. AIMS receives fault information from the cargo handling system. The lower lobe cargo handling system operation is similar to the main deck system. 21-5

Freighter Cargo Handling System Controls and Indications Freighter Cargo Handling System Controls and Indications
The master control panel (MCP) is the main panel for loading and unloading cargo. It is also the main controller of the cargo handling system. It is located just inside and aft of the main deck cargo door. It drives the ULDs laterally into and out of the cargo door. The MCP can also drive cargo longitudinally the entire length of the cargo compartment. The MCP in coordination with a local control panel controls rotation of a 20 foot ULD, 16 foot ULD, or engine pallet. A joystick (not shown) below the MCP operates the PDUs for lateral and longitudinal movement of cargo. There is also an optional pendant that can be used to command movement instead of the MCP joystick.
21-6
The outside control panel (OCB) is located outside the aircraft just aft of the main deck cargo door. The OCB is used to load and unload cargo when the MCP is inaccessible. It drives cargo laterally into and out of the cargo door. The OCP can also drive cargo longitudinally in to caster panel area and the aft cargo area. The PDU retract panel controls retraction of individual freighter common turntables (FCTs). The local control panels (LCPs) are used to make small adjustments of the ULD position for latching and unlatching. An LCP can only control PDUs in a small area near the panel. If the control system is operating in a degraded mode, the LCPs can be used sequentially to drive cargo the length of the main deck forward of the door. LCPs with rotation are used with the MCP for loading 20/16 foot containers and engine pallets.
The cargo maintenance display unit (CMDU) contains a touch screen to display the cargo system status during normal operation. The CMDU shows a visual representation of the cargo compartment and control system operation. The CMDU is also the maintenance interface for selecting maintenance operations to be run by the MCP. Menus and screens have selections for BITE detected faults or to initiate interactive tests.
