2020 CQ Study Guide Flashcards
Why does the Emergency/Parking brake need to be on prior to starting the external inspection?
So the brake wear pins show correctly
Just because the parking brake is on, does this guarantee that there is sufficient hydraulic pressure to check the brake wear indicators?
No, the EMERG/PRKG BRAKE light has to illuminate which indicates sufficient pressure in brake lines
If the hydraulic pressure is depleted for the brakes, how can it be restored prior to the external walkaround?
Turn on HYD pumps 1 & 2 and verify brake pressures are in the green
On the walkaround you see ADSP covered in frost, what would you do?
Turn on ADSP heater switches on FO side
Provide at least one other condition that would require the heat being applied to the ADSP’s during preflight

Where is the battery temperature read? Give another example of why it is always important to view the appropriate synoptic page(s) when troubleshooting a problem.
MFD Electrical systems synoptic page down on the bottom
Synoptic pages help gain the BIG picture and going to the proper synoptic page will help you see that. (i.e. just looking at the flight control page might show some malfunctioning control surfaces however you’d notice that it is stemming from a hydraulic pump failure by looking at the hyd synoptic page)
What CAUTION message will populate when the Associated Battery is selected off?
BATT 1 OFF or BATT 2 OFF (NOT batt 1(2) off)
List four of the seven conditions that require the pilot to manually abort the start.
No positive oil pressure indication within 10 seconds after N2 starts to increase
No N1 increase before starter cutout (50% N2)
No ITT within 30 seconds
ITT exceeds 815°C - HOT start
Oil pressure stabilizes low
N1 and/or N2 stabilizing too low - HUNG start
Intermittent malfunction (electrical, pneumatic, or starter)
NOTE - FADEC will abort for HOT, HUNG, or NO
Will the CABIN ALTITUDE HI likely result in a descent? What Altitude will you descend to? How would you find the MEA - demonstrate?
Absolutely it would. Here are the steps: (EAP 2-1)
