An extremely rare
opportunity to purchase a component off a former Qantas Classic B747 VH-EBR
Zone Compartment/Duct Temperature
Indicator
As removed off Air
Pacific DQ-FJE
The standard B747-200 cabin configuration was divided into five zones
Upper deck/cockpit and four main deck zones
Five zone temperature indicators were located on the Flight Engineer’s P4 panel
The FE was tasked with operating and monitoring aircraft environmental control via modules for three pack air cycle machines, zone temperature control and cabin pressurisation
This indicator came from Zone 4 - the aft most zone between main entry doors 4 and 5
Indications of duct and eventual zone temperature reflected the efficiency of the ACM's and their ability to achieve and maintain selected conditions
The indicator
measures 120mm in length, has diameter of 50mm and weighs 412g
Most importantly, the
indicator comes complete with an Evergreen removal label (see A/C history)
This is an incredible and decisive document of provenance matches the component S/N with the A/C
Removal date was 15th July 2003
