5kts
What is the significance of a flashing fault light on the IR?
Nav is lost, ATT and HDG may be recovered in ATT mode

d. all of the above
First flight of the day
new crew
2N and 2S
no GPS and lack of waypoints along the route
no GPS and flight is >3hrs
Can the WING anti-ice be used on the approach and landing?
yes, but should only be considered in severe icing because second-segment climb performance could be affected.
Where are the engine fire loops located?
D. all of the above
Pylon nacelle
Core
Fan
In which of the following scenarios should engine anti ice be used?
Descending through FL240 in visible moisture, TAT -22, SAT -45
Are there any times where the captain may determine that deicing is not required to remove frost or snow from the aircraft?
Both B&C
B: Alayer of HOAR frost which is thin enough to distinguish surface features underneath, such as paint lines, markings or lettering is acceptable on the upper surface of the fuselage provided all critical surfaces are free of adhering contaminants.
C: a light coating of frost up to 3mm thick on wing lower surfaces between the front and aft spars is permissible. The frost must be free of all ice build-up.
if ground deicing/anti-icing is performed, the flaps, slats, and flight controls may be moved?
approximately 3 mins before takeoff
who is responsible for reviewing the aircraft logbook prior to flight, including deferred maintenance items, to determine the aircraft’s airworthiness?
The Captain and First officer
