Hydraulic System 2
Pilot identifies the oxygen discharge indicator and what it should indicate prior to flight.
Flow indicator-A bright yellow star when visible indicates that oxygen is flowing.
How would you know you have sufficient oxygen for an observer? Two crew members?
Cockpit Pressure Indication will be
- Green (minimum for three crew members)
- Cyan (minimum for two crew members)
Are we permitted to load dry ice and animals in both cargo compartments?
No, only the forward cargo compartment.
Which engine would you start first with an inop APU and why?
Engine #2
- Because HP connection is on the left side of the aircraft
What must you verify with respect to the N1 fan prior to engine start?
Freedom of N1 fan rotation and all ice deposits are removed from the air inlet
If you see a puddle of oil in the exhaust nozzle is this permitted?
Yes as long as the puddle size does not exceed 4 inches
You notice frost on the fuselage and underside of the wing. What would you do?
I would let the captain know, but as long as we can distinguish surface features such as paint and markings on the fuse log and it is not more than an 1/8th inch think on the underwing we are good to go.
When must maintenance be called regarding the brake pins?
When the pins are flush with the Brake Bracket Outer Face assembly
What MCDU selection should be made regarding anti-ice if the OAT is 3°C and 010 overcast?
TO DATASET MENU on the MCDU must be set to ALL when the OAT is less than 5 and there is any possibility of encountering visible moisture up to 1700’ AFE
If the MCDU is programmed REF A/I ALL, when will the engine anti-ice valves automatically open? Wing anti-ice valves?
Engine anti-ice valves will open after completion of the engine start. Wing valves are commanded open after wheel speed is greater than 40 kts
If the flight crew selected REF A/I OFF and the aircraft encountered icing conditions immediately after takeoff, when would the anti-ice turn on automatically?
1700’ AGL or 2 minutes after liftoff, whichever occurs first.
What conditions would justify dry motoring an engine?
Hot Start, Hung Start, or no lite off. Dry motoring will allow the residual fuel vapors and heat to escape
Provide at least two considerations with respect to cold weather engine starts.
- Ensure N1 freedom of movement
- If the oil pressure remains below minimum levels for more than two minutes the engine must be shut down and the oil heated.
- Expect IDG to be slow in producing power, it make take up to 5 minutes for them to stabilize
What conditions would preclude a single engine taxi?
Contaminated surfaces, Short Taxi, Tight turns from a gate
What is the max taxi speed in a turn on a contaminated surface?
5 kts
Assuming a single engine taxi with the APU off, will you have windshield heat?
No, the system only operates on the ground if there are at least two AC electrical sources.
Describe a situation where a hold-over calculation is required.
Any time after an Anti-Ice application has been applied
What is the difference between a pre-takeoff check and pre-takeoff contamination check? When are they required?
- Pretakeoff Check is a check of the surfaces from any vantage point within the established HOT time.
- Pretakeoff Contamination check is conducted after the HOT time has been exceeded to ensure critical surfaces are free of contamination. This must be within 5 minutes prior to takeoff
What threats are associated with delaying flap extension until just prior to takeoff?
It is not a normal procedure so it is a high vulnerability threat. You could attempt to take off with the wrong flap settings and have to abort a takeoff
Are we permitted to takeoff in heavy snow?
Yes, as longs as the crew member conducting the pretakeoff contamination check is positive the fluid has not failed.
What is the min altitude a turn can be made in IMC? (weather less than 1000/3)
1000’ AGL
Is it mandatory that pilots fly a simple-special procedure in IMC? VMC?
Mandatory in IMC, also mandatory in VMC until reaching 1000’ AFE
Is it mandatory that pilots fly a complex-special procedure in IMC? VMC?
Complex-Special procedures are mandatory under IMC and VMC
When is a runway considered to be contaminated?
When more than 25% of the runway has 1/8 inch or more of standing water or the equivalent in slush, wet snow, dry snow, or ice
When would you consider a runway to be wet for performance reasons?
When more than 25% of the runway is damp or has water 1/8 inch or less
When are reduced thrust takeoffs prohibited?
Takeoffs on contaminated runways, reported wind-shear, operational constraints
Is a runway with patchy thin ice or snow considered contaminated?
No, patchy is considered less than 25%
If the flex N1 value on the EICAS is less than the calculated release value, what would you do?
- Lower the flex temperature
- N1 Value must be at calculated release value up to 0.5% above
During a single-engine missed approach, would you fly the published missed approach procedure or wait until 1000 AFE to commence a turn?
Fly the published missed approach procedure or fly the specific Engine Failure - Missed Approach procedure
Where would you find LAHSO landing distance info?
10-9A chart
When are you required to use low visibility landing data?
Anytime the RVR is less than 1200, review the SMGCS taxi route chart when published.
How long is a release valid?
2 hours
Give at least two reasons why a pilot must amend or obtain a new release?
- Change in Aircraft
- The flight is unable to depart in accordance with the release previously issued.
- Crewmember Change
- A flight returns to the airport it departed
When must a takeoff alternate be listed on the release?
- When minimums at the airport of takeoff are below the landing minimums for that airport
- The alternate is one hour from the departure airport at normal cruise speed in still air with one engine inoperative
When is a destination alternate airport require? (have pilot explain why a destination alternate is listed for this specific flight)
- On all flights unless 1 hour before and 1 hour after the estimated time of arrival the weather reports indicate the ceiling will be at least 2000 AFE and visibility 3 sm
- All RwyCC values of 1
- Freezing precipitation is being reported or forecasted
When does a release require an additional alternate airport?
- When the weather conditions forecast for the destination and the first alternate are marginal
- Marginal is anytime the weather at the estimated time of arrival is equal to the lowest authorized minima
- Anytime exemption 17347 is used
What is the filed true airspeed for this release and why is it important to reference both before and during the flight?
- It is important to note because if our true airspeed is higher we will have a larger fuel quantity if it is lower we will have a lower fuel quantity. With hight TAS crews will most likely be able to beat the fuel plan and have extra gas. With lower TAS crews will have to follow the plan precisely and depending on the needs of ATC may fall short on fuel
- If TAS is higher or lower by 10kts or 5% whichever is greater we must report the change to atc
Are all MEL, CDL, and NEF items required to be listed on the release?
- All Open MEL and CDL must be listed on the release.
- NEF items are not required to be on the release
If an aircraft item is deferred after block out and prior to takeoff, is the deferred item required to be reflected on the release?
Yes the deferral must be on the amended dispatch release
Does inputting an EFC time affect the progress fuel indication on the MFD?
Yes, When a valid Hold EFC time is inserted, all time and fuel predictions for waypoints beyond the hold are based on remaining in the hold until the EFC time has elapsed
What information does the PPOS Direct function provide on the FMS regarding fuel?
Gives you the remaining fuel at the waypoint if you were to fly directly to the fix
When holding, how can landing fuel be calculated?
- Check the MFD for landing fuel
- Changing the EFC time to check how long you can hold for before you need to leave and head for an alternate
If two destination alternate airports are listed on the release, are you planned to have enough fuel to proceed to the destination, execute a missed approach, fly to the first alternate, execute a missed approach, then fly to the second alternate?
You are planned to have enough fuel to fly to the dispatched airport and then fly to and land at the most distant alternate airport and then fly 45 minutes at normal cruise
