Question 22

Do not deploy speedbrakes inflight below radio altitude

Answer 22

Of 1000 ft

Question 23

Alternate flap duty cycle

Answer 23

After moving the flaps in alternate allow 15 seconds to avoid damage to alternate flap motor clutch

After a complete cycle extend/retract allow 5 min cooling before attempting another try

Question 24

ADIRU alignment

Answer 24

Should not be attempted at latitudes greater than 78 degrees

Question 25

Look Ahead Terrain Alerting (GPWS)

Answer 25

Do not use terrain display for navigation

Do not use terrain alerting and terrain display for takeoff, approach and landing within 15 NM of airports not contained in database

Question 26

Weather radar

Answer 26

Avoid weather radar operation in a hangar, or within 50 feet (15.25 meters) of fueling operations or a fuel spill.

Avoid weather radar operation when personnel are within the area normally enclosed by the aircraft nose radome.

Note: The hangar recommendation does not apply to the weather radar test mode.
