2022 CQ Study Guide Flashcards
Why does the Parking Brake need to be on prior to starting the external inspection?
To check the brake wear indicators
Just because the parking brake is on, does this guarantee that there is sufficient hydraulic pressure to check the brake wear indicators?
No - External inspection item number 1 in the SOPM:
Emergency/ Parking Brake - ON
Determine there is sufficient hydraulic pressure to activate the Emergency Brake to check the brake wear indicators
If the hydraulic pressure is depleted for the brakes, how can it be restored prior to the external walk around?
Activation of Hydraulic Systems 1 & 2
On the external inspection, you notice the ADSPs are covered in frost. What would be an appropriate action by the pilot?
Force them on using the ADSP heater switch on the FO side. Make sure they are turned off after engine start.
Provide at least one other condition that would require heating applied to the to the ADSPs during the pre-flight
- OAT is at or below freezing and water, ice, or snow is present or suspected.
- On the first flight of the day with temperatures below -18ºC
- Smart probes are frozen or contaminated
- Erroneous airspeed indications present on the PFD with any or all of the following messages displayed on the EICAS: AFCS FAULT< AT FAIL< AP FAIL< FD FAIL< YD FAIL< APPR 2 NA

Pilots correctly perform a cold weather preflight inspection when necessary. Give at least two atmospheric conditions that require a cold weather preflight inspection.
OAT is 5°C or less, wing fuel temperature is 0°C or less,
conditions conducive to icing exist, RON and may have
frozen contaminants, through flight with residual ice from inbound flight, cold soaked ice suspected in the fuel tank.

The Before Start Checklist.
See the ERJ FLIGHT DECK DEICE/ANTI-ICE CHECKLIST
What is used in lieu of normal procedures Checklist from the start of the deice/anti-ice process through the Before Takeoff Checklist?
ERJ 175 DEICE/ANTI-ICE CHECKLIST.
What is the guidance the checklist provides regarding running the APU during de-icing procedures?
Should remain off. ERJ FLIGHT DECK DEICE/ANTI-ICE CHECKLIST

CHECKLIST
Are the Deice/Anti-ice Communication Elements required?
Where are they found?
Yes, COMMUNICATION ELEMENTS TABLE at the end of the de-ice/anti-ice checklists
List two required communications elements from the
COMMUNICATION ELEMENTS TABLE. GDPM
Type of fluid to be used
Percentage of fluid
Time of beginning of final deice step
Deicing complete
When does the Holdover Time (HOT) begin?
Final application of fluid commences. GDPM DEFINITIONS
What does the HOT represent?
A range of time in which the fluid provides acceptable protection for the varying precipitation intensities. GDPM HOT guidelines
In a HOT table what do the longer and shorter times represent?
Heavier vs Lighter precipitation.
GDPM HOT guidelines
What should a crew use to determine precipitation intensities in order to accurately establish a HOT?
Official weather observations, tables from the GDPM should only be used in the absence of intensities listed in the official observations. GDPM Precipitation intensities and types.
Can the HOT be used as the sole determinant that aircraft critical surfaces are free of frozen contaminants?
No, several pre-takeoff checks may be required to determine the condition of the aircraft prior to takeoff. GDPM HOT Guidelines
What are two factors that influence the effectiveness of de-icing/anti-icing fluid?
- Change in precipitation type, intensity, and moisture content.
- Change in ambient and aircraft skin temperature.
- Position of aircraft relative to the exhaust or prop wash of other aircraft.
- Change in wind direction or velocity
Can parking in the proximity of another aircraft’s jet wash
blow the deice/anti-ice fluid off the wings rendering the HOT
invalid or the fluid ineffective?
Yes. GDPM HOT Guidelines
List two precipitation types that HOTs do not exist for
Heavy snow
Ice pellets
Moderate and heavy freezing rain
Hail
When is a Pre-takeoff check conducted?
Within the holdover time and just prior to takeoff. GDPM DEFINITIONS
What is checked as part of the pre-takeoff check?
The representative surface from a vantage point in the aircraft that the PIC determines will give an accurate indication of the condition of the aircraft.
GDPM DEFINITIONS
What should the crew do if they are unable to determine that the representative surface is free from frozen contaminants?
The aircraft must be deiced again.
GDPM Pre-takeoff Procedure
When is a pre-takeoff contamination check conducted?
After the HOT has been exceeded or the HOT is no longer valid due to changing weather conditions, or in heavy snow to ensure the wings, control surface and other critical surfaces are free of all frozen contaminants. GDPM DEFINITIONS and HOT Exceeded.
Can the pre-takeoff contamination check be performed if
the deice process was initiated at a location other that the
wings, say the tail perhaps?
No. GDPM HOT Exceeded
Is there ever a case where the aircraft can depart with frozen contaminants on any of the critical surfaces?
No.

In the FOM’s landing performance hierarchy, when reported, what should be used to determine landing performance?
RCC values
When CC’s are unavailable, what should be used to determine landing performance?
Contaminant type and braking action reports FOM CH7
If RwyCC values for the same runway are different, i.e. 5/4/3, which RCC value is used when performing a landing assessment?
3, the most restrictive FOM CH7
Are RCCs bidirectional?
Yes, runways are evaluated to include displaced thresholds and are measured equally in either direction FOM CH7
Use the flight release METAR and planned landing weights.
- What is the heaviest achievable landing weight?
- What is the MIN LDG DIST - FLAPS 5 - NO THR REV CREDIT?
What does TALPA stand for?
Take off and Landing Performance Assessment FOM CH 7
What is RCAM?
Runway Condition Assessment Matrix: the tool used to assess and report surface conditions when contaminants are present via file condition (FICON). The RCAM maps contamination type and depth to a RCC value.
What percentage of the runway surface needs to be covered for it to be contaminated?
Greater that 25%
A runway is considered contaminated when more than 25% within the length and width being used is covered by more than 1/8” of standing water or its equivalent in slush, wet snow, dry snow or any depth of ice or compact snow.
What does the RwyCC Represent?
The braking action (BA) expected for a particular contaminant level FOM CH 7
What are RwyCCs used for?
•To determine landing distance.
•Used for departures to identify the runway 3rd with the most limiting contaminant
•Used to determine operating limitations such as crosswind limits with low runway friction
FOM CH7
When CCs are unavailable, what should be used to determine landing performance?
Contaminant type and Braking Action reports. FOM CH 7
A RwyCC value of O represents what type of BA?
NIL, and results in immediate runway closure. FOM CH 7
How long can a FICON NOTAM be in effect?
24 hours and may not reflect actual condition and braking action.
FOM CH 7
What should a pilot do when they believe a NOTAM does not accurately reflect current conditions?
Consult the dispatcher, airport, or ATC to ascertain current runway
information. FOM CH 7
