61-70 Flashcards
On the white board place the crew in a hold (unanticipated threat) prior to the TOD how many lbs per hour and per half hour and per 15 mins
Multiple technics… Start with BARH, Talk about reserve fuel, fuel burn, and go arounds. Most common E175 crews will use the Perf VREF Data page then subtract reserve. Use roughly 4000 lbs an hour or 1000lbs = 15 minutes.
According to the ERJ SOPM standardized Minimum/Emergency Fuel Tables, what fuel prediction at the destination or alternate (as appropriate), would require declaring minimum fuel and emergency fuel. How much time does emergency fuel provide
Minimum fuel provides 2,250 LB = 45 minutes of fuel endurance based upon 1,500 ft AFE / Green Dot / Clean.
Emergency fuel provides 1,500 LB = 30 minutes of fuel endurance based upon 1,500 ft AFE / Green Dot / Clean.
Note ERJ will turn amber at 2460 lbs.
You are holding at a fix due to un-forecasted WX below minimums at your destination. What tools do you have available to determine a suitable alternate, and how would you determine how much fuel you need to safely proceed to your alternate.
WX / Notams: Dispatcher, ACARS & ATC
Fuel : Dispatcher, Present Position Direct, Secondary Flight Plan & Jeppesen
Use previous white board example. The destination airport is closed (no approach or missed approach) due to extreme weather and the filed alternate is traffic saturated and no longer accepting arrivals. Determine the fuel requirements for an unplanned diversion.
Plan, Range, Services
Crew will need to develop a plan to determine a viable diversionary airport. This plan should include dispatch, and FMS calculations.
The alternate has to be conservatively within the range of the remaining fuel on board.
In addition the alternate has to be appropriate for the ERJ, runway length and width and emergency and passenger services
What can cause the FMS landing fuel calculations to be inaccurate?
D R A A E
Arrivals with long “downwind” legs
Wrong runway loaded in the FMS.
Flying below the final altitude or above the planned TAS as programmed in the progress pages.
Winds aloft don’t match forecast/FMS inputs.
EFC in hold page, different than actual hold exit time.
What if the pitch axis were jammed –QRC Memory Item
JAMMED CONTROL COLUMN-PITCH ELEVATOR DISCONNECT HANDLE… PULL
Having resolved the above issue ( jammed column) the EICAS shows a “CABIN ALTITIUDE HIGH”
message, what do you do –
Oxygen Masks …Don 100% & Crew Communication…. Establish
What if instead of the above message you had strong FUMES in the flight deck, maybe an “electrical” smell –QRC Memory Item
SMOKE/FIRE/FUMES
OXIGEN MASKS…. DON 100%
CREW COMMUNICATION ….. ESTABLISH
If smoke filled the flight deck, what would you do –QRC Memory Item
SMOKE EVACUATION Oxigen Masks …Don EMER , Crew Communication…. Establish & PRESSURIZATION DUMP ..
PUSH IN
When is the Fuel Check conducted, and how often thereafter –
At TOC and at least each hour after
What must the pilot(s) ensure is not causing the imbalance Before balancing fuel, according to the SOPM
For Fuel efficiency must be balance , To compare Ensure there’s no fuel leak
With an IDG OFF BUS EICAS message the QRH says APU as required, if you choose to start the APU at cruise, what altitude do you have to be below –
FL300 or
lower
If the first APU start attempt was unsuccessful how long would you need to wait before a second start attempt –SOPM Chap 2 Section 4
60 seconds
ATC Requests slowest practical speed at FL290 for spacing, could flaps be added momentarily to help comply with the request –SOPM Chap 2 Section 3
Max Alt. Flaps/Slats extended - FL200
In the above question, which RCC value is used when performing a landing assessment –
( The arrival airport is reporting RCCs of 5,4,3 on the expected RWY, what numeric value represents the worst braking action on the RWY)
3 RCC
