Correct answer is – the engine compressor or cabin compressor
Q24. Safety valves are biased:
Correct answer is – inwards
Q25. Cabin compressors:
Correct answer is – increase their flow in proportion to increases of altitude differential pressure and reduction in engine rpm in order to maintain the mass flow
