- Cold soak ice is suspected in the fuel tank area.
The TO DATASET MENU on the MCDU must be set to ENG in the following cases when OAT is from 5°C to 10°C and:
– When there is any possibility of encountering visible moisture up to 1,700 ft AFE.
– When operating on ramps , taxiways, or runways where surface snow, ice, standing water, or slush may be ingested by the engines, or freeze on engines, nacelles, or engine sensor probes.

List the seven conditions that require the pilot to manually abort the start.
Although FADEC provides automatic over-temperature protection and automatically aborts the start in the event of a hot start, hung start, or no light off, the engine start must be manually aborted when:
• No positive oil pressure indication within 10 seconds after N2 speed starts to increase
• During engine start with a tailwind, when a positive increase of N1 is not indicated before starter cutout (50% N2). In this case, the airplane is repositioned prior to engine start to minimize tailwind effects.
• No ITT indication within 30 seconds after initiation of fuel flow
• ITT exceeds start limit (815°C - Hot)
• Oil pressure stabilizes below the engine limits
• N1 and/or N2 failing to accelerate to stable idle speed (hung start)
• An intermittent electrical pneumatic or starter malfunction occurs before the starter disengagement

With a simple-special procedure, are engine failure climb speeds and initial headings or courses always listed in the procedure?
Engine failure initial heading or course - only listed if different than runway alignment.
Engine failure climb speed - only listed if different than the standard engine failure profile.
Describe Simple Special Departure Procedures
Simple-Special: The Simple-Special Procedure differs from Standard Procedures in that a turn to a NAVAID or heading is required before reaching 1,000’. FRA remains at 1,000’ AFE unless otherwise specified in the FLAP RETRACT box. Simple-Special Procedures are mandatory in IMC. They are also mandatory in VMC until reaching 1,000’ AFE. The turn to the NAVAID or heading is to be made at the highest bank angle appropriate for aircraft speed. In IMC, if radar vectors are not available, comply with the special procedure until 3,000’ AFE at which time you may proceed on course (as applicable).
Standard Takeoff Path, no turns …
NO turns shall be commenced below 1,000’ above field elevation (AFE) when takeoff weather is less than 1,000’ ceiling and 3 sm / 5 km visibility unless a Special Departure Procedure prescribes otherwise or the assigned instrument departure procedure specifically requires a turn before reaching 1,000’ AFE.
Standard Engine Failure below 1000 ft in IMC
Climb straight ahead to 1,000’ AFE, then commence turn to NAVAID or heading as listed on runway analysis page using maximum bank angle appropriate for aircraft speed. If NAVAID is listed, hold on the inbound radial using a direct entry and standard holding procedures. If heading is listed, fly heading until a minimum safe altitude is attained. Radar vectors may be accepted when available after reaching 1,000’.
Standard Engine Failure above 1000 in IMC
Commence turn to NAVAID or heading as listed on runway analysis page using maximum bank angle appropriate for aircraft speed. If NAVAID is listed, hold on the inbound radial using a direct entry and standard holding procedures. If heading is listed, fly heading until a minimum safe altitude is attained. Radar vectors may be accepted when available.
Standard Engine Failure below 1000 VMC
Climb straight ahead to 1,000’ AFE. Return to land visually or complete IMC procedure.
Standard Engine Failure above 1000 VMC
Return to land visually or complete IMC procedure.

When is a hydraulic warm-up test required?
The Hydraulic Systems Warm-Up must be accomplished before starting the engines when reservoir temperatures are below -18°C.
When is a hydraulic warm-up test required?
The Hydraulic Systems Warm-Up must be accomplished before starting the engines when reservoir temperatures are below -18°C.
What is the Maximum Performance Landing Technique
- Use FULL Flaps
- Cross the threshold at screen height of 50 ft and VREF
- Avoid extended flare
- Apply maximum thrust reverse. When necessary, the thrust reversers may be used until the airplane comes to a complete stop.
- Immediately after the main landing gear wheels have touched down, apply firm and steady maximum manual brakes and hold pedal pressure until the airplane decelerates to a safe taxi speed within the runway
- Lower nosewheel immediately
Can flaps 5 be used for Maximum Performance Landing Technique
Yes: The same technique could be used for Flaps 5 configuration, but the landing
distance will increase accordingly.
Landing on contaminated, wet or slippery runways?
LANDING ON WET, SLIPPERY, OR CONTAMINATED RUNWAYS
To minimize stopping distance on a contaminated runway:
• Consider using Maximum Performance Landing techniques
• Use autobrake setting MED
• Make a firm touchdown. Such technique avoids hydroplaning on wet runways and reduces the strength of any ice bond that, during flight, might be formed on brake and wheel assemblies.
• Apply maximum reverse thrust. Do not use asymmetric reverse thrust on slippery or icy runways.
• Apply firm and symmetrical brake pedal pressure; do not pump the brakes
• If the airplane loses friction, do not apply the Emergency/Parking Brake, as it inhibits anti-skid protection
Crosswind Threats
CAUTION: Wing tip or engine nacelle strike occurs when bank exceeds 18° at touchdown (16° with gear struts compressed).
When is a runway considered to be contaminated?
A runway is considered contaminated when more than 25% of the runway surface area (whether in isolated areas or not), within the reported length and width being used, is covered by more than 1/8 in (3 mm) of standing water or its equivalent in slush, wet snow, dry snow, or any depth of ice or compacted snow.
