Two nose gear pressure transducers provide actual airplane gross weight and CG information. The nose
gear pressure data is used to determine two separate sets of validation limits (one for each transducer).
The FMC calculated stabilizer green band is then compared to the validation limits from the transducers.
The EICAS advisory message STAB GREENBAND is displayed if:
• computed green band disagrees with pressure transducer data, or
• the two transducer values are not within the set tolerance, or
• either transducer has failed

The RAT, when deployed, provides 5000 psi hydraulic power to the primary flight controls
connected to the center hydraulic system.
the RAT deploys automatically if any of the following occur:
• both engines have failed.
• all three hydraulic system pressures are low.
• loss of all electrical power to captain’s and first officer’s flight instruments.
• loss of all four electric pumps (EMPs) and faults in the flight control occur on approach.
• loss of all four electric pumps (EMPs) and an engine fails on takeoff or landing.
The center hydraulic system has isolation functionality in the event of a leak to ensure the
flight crew can lower the landing gear and that nose wheel steering is operational for landing,

The two center tank fuel pumps are override/jettison pumps which have a higher output
pressure than the left and right main tank fuel pumps.
APU fuel is supplied from the left fuel manifold (any AC fuel pump supplying fuel to
the left fuel manifold).
On the ground, with the APU switch ON and no AC power available, the DC
pump runs automatically. With AC power available, the left aft AC fuel pump
operates automatically, regardless of fuel pump switch position, and the DC fuel
pump turns off.
With the main tank pumps ON and the center tank pumps off, a scavenge system operates
automatically to transfer any remaining center tank fuel to the main tanks. Fuel transfer
begins when either main tank quantity is less than approximately 16,000 kilograms
(depending on fuel density) .
Fuel balance operation is inhibited for the any of the following reasons:
• refueling, defueling and ground transfer of fuel (using the refueling
control panel)
• On ground and the APU is off.
• on the ground and one or both engines are running.
• the fuel balance system is failed.
• a center tank pump is on.
• in flight and the fuel jettison system is active, or the FUEL DISAGREE
or FUEL QTY LOW message shows.
The Nitrogen Generation System (NGS) provides automatic full time flammability
protection for the fuel system. It generates nitrogen enriched air to displace fuel vapors
in all fuel tanks.
-Fwd cargo Ventilation and conditioned air are provided by forward E/E cooling exhaust, a
dedicated refrigeration unit, in-line electric heaters and a forward cargo exhaust fan.
-Bulk cargo compartment ventilation and heat are provided from cabin air passing through a supply
fan and in-line electric heaters and some residual heat from the aft E/E cooling exhaust
-Aft cargo compartment ventilation and heat are provided from aft E/E cooling exhaust entering
from below the compartment floor.there is also some residual heat from the bulk cargo compartment.
In flight, the FWD switch in OVRD aids smoke evacuation from the flight deck.

Power Electronics Cooling System (PECS) consists of two independent liquid cooling loops.
It provides liquid cooling for the large motor power distribution system located in the aft E/E
equipment compartment. It also provides liquid cooling to Integrated Cooling System (ICS) .
Integrated Cooling System (ICS) is a centralized refrigeration system that provides cooling to
galley carts and assists with cooling recirculated cabin air and integrated with the air
conditioning system and the liquid cooling system to manage airplane heat loads.

There are multiple dual-channel detector assemblies in each engine nacelle. Each detector channel
provides both fire and overheat detection. Normally, at least one element on each channel must detect
