Minor MD-11 tech questions
Hi everyone,
I have collected some non-important ( but nice to know) questions which are not covered in the MD-11 AOM:
1. In the cockpit ceiling above the pilots’ side windows and further back in the aft cockpit roof there are small levers/knobs with the plackard: „CONDITIONED AIR”.What is the function of these controls?
2. On the outside of the aircraft in the lower cargo door operating panel there is a switch and rotary knob with the plackard: „BRAKE GUIDE”, „BRAKE SELECT”, ROLLER SELECT”. Again, what is the function of these controls? ( I assume something to do with the cargo handling system).
3. Is the forward entry door electric actuator motor fed by the direct batt bus? To be able to open it on a cold/dark unpowered a/c?
I appreciate your help.
