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

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.

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)

FliteView ACARS Verbal communication with the dispatcher over phone or radio If a paper release is used, the PIC can put a slash through the old FA’s name and pen in the new name.

What is the latest time you can push back from the gate without amending this release?

1 hour, 59 minutes?

If you were uncertain about whether a situation required an amendment to the release, how could you verify using your EFB?

FOM Chapter 5, Part L | Or FAR/FOM cross reference chapter 9

When is a takeoff alternate required?

When the weather minimums (visibility only) at the airport of departure are below the landing minimums for that airport. The alternate must be within 1 hour of flight at normal cruise on one engine (ERJ-300nm)

Explain why a destination alternate would be needed?

1, 2, 3 rule (hour before/after ETA, ceilings below 2000, visibility less than 3 Airport is in AK and doesn’t have more than one one separate suitable runway for the type of A/C used Destination has no instrument approach Freezing precip is in the forecast RCC values of less than 3

If you cannot recall all of the conditions that require a destination alternate, where can you find these requirements using your EFB?

FOM chap 5 or 7 | FAR/FOM Cross reference

If you have both a destination and second alternate listed on the release, which one is used by the Dispatcher to determine your FAR reserve fuel?

The most distant one

The weather is below 1,000’ ceiling and 3sm visibility, what two conditions permit a turn at less than 1,000’ above field elevation? (SkyWest Airlines Performance Handbook 2.1 General/Takeoff path)

Special departure procedure prescribes otherwise Assigned Instrument departure specifically requires a turn before reaching 1,000’ AFE

Flap retraction altitude (FRA) is at 1000’ AFE unless what?

A special Procedure prescribes otherwise

With regard to Standard Engine Failure Takeoff Path, if an engine failure occurs below 1,000’ AFE on takeoff, what altitude would you climb to before turning to a Heading or Navaid as listed on the release?

Climb straight ahead to 1,000 AFE

With regard to Standard Engine Failure Takeoff Path, | if a turn is required, what bank angle would be used? (SOPM 04-08.13 of 21)

15° at V2 20° at V2+5 25° at V2+10

With regard to Standard Engine Failure Takeoff Path, if a NAVAID is listed, upon reaching the NAVAID, what is the crew expected to do?

Hold standard (right turns 1 minute) on the inbound radial with a direct entry

With regard to Standard Engine Failure Takeoff Path, if a heading is listed, how long/far do you remain on that heading?

In IMC - until the MSA in that area. Vectors can be accepted above 1000ft. VMC - climb straight to 1000’ then land visually

With a simple-special procedure, are engine failure climb speeds and initial headings or courses always listed in the procedure?

Not unless they are different than the standard Single engine failure profile

Where would a crew find a systematic flow that represents current TALPA/RCAM and FOM policies?

In the Runway condition decision matrix | (ERJ175 folder) weather section

Where is the RCAM/Braking Action Table located?

Weather section

Give at least two atmospheric conditions that require a cold weather inspection?

OAT 5°C or less Wing fuel temp is 0°C or less Atmospheric conditions conducive to icing Aircraft has remained overnight and may have frozen contaminants Residual ice from a previous flight Cold soak ice is suspected in the fuel tank area

When would the pilot select the anti-ice to ALL

OAT is less than 5°C and There is a possibility of encountering visible moisture up to 1,700’ AFE When operating on ramps, taxiways, or runways where surface snow, ice, standing water, or slush may be ingested by the engines

What must be verified on the exterior of the aircraft with respect to the engine start during cold weather operations?

“Freedom of the N1 fan rotation is verified and all ice deposits are removed from the air inlet”

After establishing AC power, the captain notices the E-PBIT was never initiated. What would prohibit it from running?

Any hyd pump running FCM switches are cycled Or AC power is interrupted

What would be an appropriate action by the crew should the E-PBIT fail to run?

``` Power down aircraft Wait 1 minute Perform the power up procedure Wait three minutes Perform a H-PBIT when required ```

When is a hydraulic warm-up test required?

``` Before starting the engines when the reservoir temperatures are below -18°C Accomplished by: Hyd 1, 3A on PTU on Wait 30 seconds PTU Auto Hyd 2 on Verify temps warmer than -18°C Hyd 1, 2 Auto Hyd 3A Off ```

Assuming a single engine taxi with the APU off, will heat be applied to the windshield?

No, the windshield heater needs two sources of AC power

What is the max speed while taxiing straight ahead on a contaminated taxiway? Where is your ground speed shown?

10kts straight 5 kts turning On the PFD

If both ice detector probes fail do we have ice protection? If so, how?

Yes, you can manually turn on the system

When is a runway considered to be contaminated?

More than 25% of the runway surface area is covered more than 1/8 inch of standing water or its equivalent in slush, wet snow, dry snow, or any depth of compacted snow

With a RCC value of 4/4/3 listed on the current ATIS, should we utilize the max performance landing technique? If so, what does that consist of?

Yes we should. SOPM says to “consider using” Autobrake MED Firm touchdown Max reverse thrust Firm and symmetrical braking (don’t pump the brakes) If the airplane loses friction, don’t apply the Emergency/parking brake Maintain centerline with rudder while maintaining symmetrical braking (Don’t land with a tailwind)

What is the difference between a pretakeoff check and a pretakeoff contamination check?

Whether the HOT has expired or not. Pretakeoff check is WITHIN HOT and can be accomplished from the Flight deck or whatever vantage point the PIC deems a good representative view Contamination check utilizes the out of FD protocol and the surfaces are viewed from within the cabin
