Q

How can the pilot determine if the EFB is in good working order prior to flight?

A

Good working order is understood to mean the EFB does not have any damage, screen/glass cracks (rapid decompression), defects and/or known conditions that precludes it from operating as per the FOM or SKW IT EFB hardware specs. FOM page 146. 05-31

Q

Have each student verify their respective Jepp FliteDeck Pro and Company Manuals are installed and updated with the most current data.

A

Jepp: reference “Updates” screen, Graphical screen shows 3 databases and their update dates. If the “Today” marker lines falls within the green of the bar and there are no updates within the FDP window the data is current. Company manuals data must have been synched within the preceding four calendar days to be considered current. Last sync date is shown on the lower left of the company manuals app. FOM page 146-147. 05-31,32.

78
Q

What should the pilot check prior to conducting a fire panel test? Why?

A

Check EICAS that there are no Fire Prot Fail messages. AOM1 p. 3-05, p2.

79
Q

Describe the items associated with a successful fire test on the
overhead panel?

A

6 Overhead: 2 Handles, Fwd Cargo, Aft Cargo, APU Fire Ext, and APU Emer Stop (upper half. 5 Messages: Eng Fire 1, Eng Fire 2, Cargo Smoke, Cargo Aft Smoke, APU Fire. 2ITT lights, 2 Master Caution Lights, 2 Aural warnings. Groundschool, p.27

80
Q

How do you determine if the AC power supplied by the GPU is within proper limits?

A

If the Voltage, Amperage, and Frequency are within accepted limits, then the “Avail” light illuminates on the GPU panel.

81
Q

Upon establishing AC power on the aircraft, what test should automatically start?

A

EPBIT. Groundschool, p. 67. AOM1 p. 3-05, p.2.

82
Q

Is the electrical PBIT required to complete every flight?

A

No, not if the aircraft is transferred powered up to a new crew and there is no Flt Ctrl Bit Expired msg. (No Ref)

83
Q

When do the amber IDG lights illuminate?

A

Associated with the IDG Oil 1(2) EICAS msg. It indicates which IDG must then be disconnected. AOM2, p. 14-05-05, p.2
When IDG oil pressure drops below 140 +or- 25 psi, or IDG oil temp reaches 335deg +or- 10F (168 +or- 5C), the EICAS msg, IDG OIL 1(2) is displayed. AOM2 p.14-05-05, p.2.

84
Q

With the GPU switch pushed in and reading “AVAIL,” what buses are being powered?

A

Hot Batt Busses 1 and 2. DC Essl Busses 1, 2, and 3. AC Stby Bus. (and possibly AC and DC ground service busses. AOM 2 14-05-40, p.5.

85
Q

The IDG’s are capable of supplying how much power to the electrical system?

A

40KVA, 115vac, 400HZ 3-phase. AOM2 p. 14-05-10, p.1

86
Q

Why is the switch position for Battery 2 labeled “AUTO” instead of
“ON?”

A

Allows automatic operation of the electrical system. AOM2, p. 14-05-15, p.5.

87
Q

If Battery 2 is inoperative, is there any way to start the APU?

A

Yes. When the DC GPU is connected during the APU start cycle, the DC Ext Pwr Source and not the #2 Battery is provides 28VDC power to the APU start bus. AOM2, p. 14-05-15, p.3.

88
Q

What kind of batteries are installed on the ERJ?

Q

What is the total fuel capacity on the ERJ?

A

20,935 lbs/3094 Gallons
-SOPM 2-4.3 &
11 Gal Unusable

90
Q

Is the usable fuel quantity any different if the aircraft is gravity refueled?

A

Probably. Gravity fueling can be filled to the top where pressure refueling will stop automatically at a certain level.

91
Q

Can the aircraft be refueled without AC power?

A

Yes. Pressurized refueling is performed with the
airplane energized either by AC or battery power.
-AOM v2 14-10-10 p.11

92
Q

What is the purpose of the DC fuel pump?

A

It provides pressurized fuel for normal APU operation
and engine start, when AC power or the AC fuel pump is not available.
-AOM v2 14-10-10 p.5

93
Q

What is the maximum fuel imbalance? When does the EICAS message appear for an imbalance?

A

800 lbs. -AOM v2 14- 10-10 p.8
-AOM v2 14-10-15 p.1
794 lbs.
-SOPM 2-4.3

94
Q

What happens when you move the crossfeed switch to the LOW 1(2) position?

A

Setting the crossfeed selector knob to LOW 1 position
opens the crossfeed valve and activates the AC PUMP 2, feeding both engines from wing tank 2.
-AOM v2 14-10-10 p.6

95
Q

During single engine operations, how would the pilot correct a fuel imbalance situation?

A

Select Low 1(2) as appropriate. Example Engine 1 failed, select Low 2 as required to maintain balance.

96
Q

A

Min Fuel- 2,250 lbs
Emergency Fuel- 1,500lbs
-SOPM 5-1.2

97

98
Q

If the engines burn fuel evenly, what is the most likely way of getting into a fuel imbalance condition?

A

Flying out of trim, uncoordinated, fuel
leak

99
Q

Why do we use the term crossfeed and not crossflow?

A

The crossfeed valve permits fuel supply to (feeds) both engines from one tank. A crossflow valve would imply transferring fuel from one tank to another.

100
Q

Is it possible to get the FUEL 1(2) LO LEVEL warning message and not be in a low fuel condition?

A

Yes.
Under normal conditions, the low level warning activation point is set at 660 lbs of fuel in the associated wing tank
If any scavenge pump stops transferring fuel to the Collector Box, which might be caused by an engine failure, loss of motive flow or scavenge
pumps failure/blockage, the fuel contained in the Collector box flows out so that the fuel level inside the Collector Box and the rest of the tank reaches the same
level.
That resulting level is below the low level activation point (660 lbs) and will cause a FUEL 1(2) LO LEVEL warning message.
AOM Vol2 14-10-10 pg. 10
