175 2021 CQ KV Flashcards
What is meant by the term non-annunciated?
Procedures which are not related to an EICAS message but rather to a condition present in the airplane.
[QRH – Introduction]
Give an example of a threat that has a dedicated memory item but does not trigger an EICAS message?
- Fumes
- ENG Abnormal Start
- Flight control jam/malfunction
- Trim runaway
What is always the priority in any emergency? When should checklists be called for?
Flying the airplane is always the priority in any emergency. Checklists should only be called by the PF after the flight path is under control, critical phases of flight (takeoff and landing) have ended and all memory items have been accomplished. [ERJ QRH INTRO – CHECKLIST OPERATION]
Describe the MEAN acronym as defined in the ERJ SOPM.
The priority for handling an emergency/abnormal situation M.E.A.N [ERJ SOPM CH 5 – EMERGENCY AND ABNORMAL PROTOCOL]
Are all emergency procedures that an ERJ crew must commit to memory found on the QRC?
NO
o Rejected takeoff
o Windshear
o EGPWS Escape
o TCAS
o Etc.
Describe the actions and callouts of a Rejected Takeoff.
[SOPM CH 4 – REJECTED TAKEOFF – ACTIONS and CALLOUTS]
Capt = “REJECT” or “REJECT MY CONTROLS” / “THIS IS THE CAPTAIN REMAIN
SEATED WITH YOUR SEAT BELT FASTENED.”
FO = “80 KNOTS” / Advise ATC.
Why are some EICAS messages inhibited during takeoff including nearly all CAUTION MESSAGES?
To prevent from being a nuisance. [AOM VOL 2 Warning System – EICAS MESSAGES INHIBITION]
Does the SOPM direct crews to reject a takeoff for caution messages?
NO – “If we have an ENGINE FAILURE OR EMERGENCY prior to V1 we will execute a rejected takeoff procedure…” [ERJ SOPM CH 3]
With the EICAS presentation, why are Aural Warnings necessary?
Aural Warnings are used when pilots need immediate knowledge without having to look at a visual display or indicator. [AOM VOL 2 Warning System – AURAL WARNING]
What is significant about a Voice Message, i.e. SINKRATE, TRAFFIC, etc?
Voice messages are generated whenever a potentially dangerous condition exists. [AOM VOL 2 Warning Systems – VOICE MESSAGES]
Speaking of Voice Messages - what item(s) trigger a Takeoff Configuration Warning when thrust is applied?
- Flaps not in takeoff position
- Flaps position is not in agreement with the flaps position selected in the FMS takeoff page 2/2.
- Parking brakes are applied
- Pitch trim is out of green range
- Any spoiler panel deployed
[AOM VOL 2 Warning Systems – VOICE MESSAGES]
What are some contributing factors as to why pilots attempt takeoffs with only one engine running?
Contributing Factors:
- ATC late runway / clearance changes.
- Operational pressure. Pilots indicated they needed to slow down to catch the single engine configuration error.
- Ineffective application of before takeoff configuration check(list).
- Rapidly changing weather.
- Complex SID related distractions.
- Root Cause(s) – SkyWest Safety Department:*
- Ineffective checklist discipline and the failure to recognize threats related to technology / distractions and effectively apply TEM.*
After the completion of a rejected takeoff when can the airplane exit the runway?
The airplane remains on the runway until it is absolutely clear that an emergency evacuation is not necessary and the entire scenario analyzed. [ERJ SOPM CH 4 – RTO]
Describe a Windshear Warning’s actions and callouts.
“WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR.”
[ERJ SOPM CH 4 – WINDSHEAR]
When a windshear warning is encountered:
• Advance thrust levers to MAX and press the TOGA button;
• Follow flight director guidance;
• Do not change flaps or landing gear configuration until out of the windshear condition and
terrain clearance assured;
• Reduce thrust to climb power, retract landing gear and slats/flaps when the airplane is out of
the windshear condition.
NOTE: PM states “CLIMBING” or “DESCENDING” based upon VSI indication until the
aircraft has returned to a safe airspeed and altitude.
When the Caution/Warning WSHEAR indicator on the PFD disappears, the PM states
“WINDSHEAR WARNING GONE” or “WINDSHEAR CAUTION GONE.”
When the radar altimeter indicates less than 1,000 ft AGL and the airplane is descending, the
PM calls “DESCENDING (___)” based upon the RA value observed.
For example:
“DESCENDING 700,” “DESCENDING 600.”
Windshear escape maneuver without EGPWS announcement
Disengage autopilot, advance thrust levers to maximum thrust, and maintain a pitch angle 20° or
PLI, whichever is lower. When advancing the thrust levers, press either GA switch. Maintain
the actual aircraft configuration (landing gear and flaps) until 1,500 ft AGL and terrain clearance
is assured.
How will selecting LLVL WIND SHR in ACARS affect performance?
T/O 1, Optimized Flap setting. [ERJ SOPM CH 4 – WINDSHEAR]
Where would a crew find Windshear performance information if the ACARS where inoperative?
Contact the Dispatcher. [ERJ SOPM CH 4 – WINDSHEAR]
Describe the EGPWS Escape procedure actions and callouts.
[ERJ SOPM CH 4 APPROACH – EGPWS]
Disengage the autopilot
• Simultaneously advance thrust
levers to MAX position and set
pitch 20° to maintain pitch on PLI,
respecting stick shaker and buffet
• Retract spoilers (when required)
• Maintain present airplane
configuration (gear/flaps) until
terrain separation is achieved
• Climb to the MSA or MORA
• Clear of terrain, resume level flight
• Retract gear and flaps (when
required)
• Engage autopilot
• Resume normal speed
PM =
• Verify all required actions have
been performed
• Communicate with ATC
• Turn FSTN BELTS ON
• Scan for visual reference
• Call out radar altimeter
indications
• Read MFD terrain indications to
check obstacle height, guides
for the best course of action,
and indicates when obstacle
has been cleared
Describe the pitch target/presentation on the PFD during the EGPWS Escape.
Pitch, not FPA… NOTE: Ensure the crew distinguishes between Airplane Symbol and Flight Path Angle.
[ERJ SOPM CH 4 APPROACH – EGPWS]
On the Terrain Awareness Display what does a Solid Red color indicate?
Approximately 30 seconds from impact. [AOM VOL 2 Warning System]
What do High Density Yellow Dots indicate?
Terrain is 1,000’ to 2,000’ above the airplane. [AOM VOL 2 Warning System]
What are the PFs actions during a Resolution Advisory (RA)?
- AUTOPILOT DISCONNECT
- AUTOTHROTTLE DISCONNECT
- PITCH FLY-TO ZONE
- THRUST AS REQUIRED
[ERJ SOPM CH 4 – RA]
What is an “Upset”?
Unintentionally exceeding the parameters normally experienced in line operations or training.
- Pitch greater than 25 degrees nose up;
- Pitch greater than 10 degrees nose down;
- Bank greater than 45 degrees or
- Airspeed inappropriate for the conditions.
[ERJ SOPM CH 5 – UPSET]
What is the Upset recovery procedure?
- Recognize and confirm
- Disconnect
- Push, Roll, Thrust, Stabilize
[ERJ SOPM CH 5 – UPSET RECOVERY]
During engine start, you suspect a hung start. What is the memory item?
AFFECTED ENGINE: START / STOP SELECTOR …..STOP

• 100% CREW COMMUNICATION….. ESTABLISH
(SOPM Attachment 2) (QRH 2-1)
While descending, the flight attendants’ call with the EMER button, they state that a first class passenger’s laptop is emitting smoke. You see no active smoke in the cockpit. What is the best course of action?
• OXYGEN MASKS………………………………………… DON, 100%
• CREW COMMUNICATION…………………………….. ESTABLISH
QRC(SOPM Attachment 2), Perform ( QRH S1-3)
Shortly thereafter you see active smoke coming from under the cockpit door. What, if anything changes in regards to your required procedures?
- OXYGEN MASKS. ………. DON, EMER
- CREW COMMUNICATION…….. ESTABLISH
- PRESSURIZATION DUMP……… PUSH IN
(SOPM Attachment 2) (QRH S1-2)
As you declare the emergency with ATC to get vectors back to the airport, you receive an EICAS message (BATT 1 OVERTEMP). What is the memory item?
ASSOCIATED BATTERY………. OFF
Verify using QRC(SOPM Attachment 2) , followed by (QRH EAP 5-1)
While turning final, the control column (pitch) appears to be jammed, what should you do?
ELEVATOR DISCONNECT HANDLE…….. PULL
(SOPM Attachment 2), Perform (QRH NAP1-12).
You now have pitch authority, but is appears you have no ROLL authority as a result. What now?
AILERON DISCONNECT HANDLE……… PULL
SOPM Attachment 2), Perform (QRH NAP1-13)
You’ve finally made it to short final, the landing is assured, and crash fire and rescue is waiting for you mid field. Once on the runway you can no longer maintain the centerline with the rudders, what action may be required to maintain on the runway?
