The symbol on the FLI indicates the compressor bleed valve is ______.

• A. Closed
• B. Partially Open
• C. Locked
• D. Open

Answer: (D)

Reading the symbol on the FLI focuses on the bleed path of the compressor. The compressor bleed valve divertes a portion of the high‑pressure air to control stability and provide bleed air where needed. When the indicator shows an opening, that tells you the valve is in the open position, allowing bleed air to flow. This state is used during conditions where relieving pressure is required to prevent surge or to supply the bleed system. A closed symbol would mean no bleed flow, a partially open symbol would indicate some bleed, and a locked indicator would show the valve is locked out. So, the symbol represents that the bleed valve is open.
