Aircraft General Flashcards
The 200B aircraft
205 ft 10 inches from nose to tail,
60 ft 6 in to the top of the vertical stabilizer
and 199 ft 11 in from wingtip to wingtip.
The minimum runway width for a 180 ° turn
156 ft.
The turbulent air penetration speed (in severe turbulence) is
270 KIAS below 25,000 ft
280 KIAS / 0.82 Mach (whichever is lower) at and above 25,000 ft.
Maintain a minimum speed of 15 kt above the minimum maneuvering speed (amber band) when below 0.82 Mach.
The ground wind limits for all doors
are 40 kt while opening or closing and 65 kt while open.
The STORM switch turns all
panel flood lights to full bright, it also turns all illuminated indicator lights to full brightness.
The Master Brightness system allows control of all
panel lights and displays with the use of one control.
The system is activated by pushing the inner button.
In order for the master brightness to have full range of control, the individual panel and display controls with a white dot must be set to the center detent.
However it will not illuminate the dome, flood and CB panel lights.
Passenger cabin lighting near the flight deck entry door is automatically dimmed or extinguished when
the flight deck door is opened while an engine is operating.
An emergency light switch is located on the overhead panel.
When armed, all emergency exit lights will illuminate if DC power fails or is turned off.
The 200 B has how many doors?
eight passenger entry doors,
four on each side,
and three cargo doors on the right side of the aircraft.
It also has two manually operated center electric & E & E access doors located
one forward and one aft of the nose gear doors.
The entry doors are translating, plug-type doors. During opening,
the door first moves inward and upward, then translates outward and forward.
Each door has a vent panel connected to the door handles.
Initial movement of any handle opens the vent to equalize cabin and ambient pressure.
The mode selector lever,
arms and disarms the pneumatic power assist system and the evacuation slide / raft of each door.
The flight deck door is constructed out of
kevlar and consists of a deadbolt, shear pins, security grills and a lower breakaway panel.
The security grill prevents intrusion into the flight deck if
the decompression panels open due to cabin depressurization.
The flight deck access system consists of,
a FLT DECK DOOR lock panel, a flight deck emergency access panel and a FLIGHT DECK ACCESS SYSTEM switch.
The emergency access panel has three status lights,
the RED one will illuminate when the door is locked or system is off,
AMBER when correct code is entered
and GREEN when unlocked.
With the FLIGHT DECK ACCESS SYSTEM switch in the OFF position,
electrical power is disconnected from the door lock and
in the NORM position it’s configured for flight.
The LOCK FAIL light will illuminate amber with
the FLT DECK DOOR lock selector in AUTO and the door-latch solenoid has
failed or
is not in the locked position.
It will also illuminate with the FLIGHT DECK ACCESS SYSTEM switch in OFF.
The AUTO UNLK light will flash amber for 30 seconds
when the correct code is entered.
When the PASS OXYGEN switch is pushed the cabin oxygen masks will drop.
If the ON light is illuminated the passenger oxygen system is operating and the masks have dropped.
A door 3 upper crew rest compartment is located
in the aft part of the airplane in the overhead between doors 3 and 4.
The upper Crew rest compartment
Entry into the area is through an enclosure located in the passenger cabin.
The area has its own smoke detection system but no fire extinguishing system.
A keyless door lock is installed on the entrance to the crew rest area.
It consist of a 5 number keypad, reset switch and a door handle.
A lower crew rest compartment (LCRC) is located in the forward section of the aft cargo compartment.
An entrance enclosure is located near the center aisle at door 3.
A smoke detector and manually activated fire extinguishing system is installed in the lower crew rest compartment.
Eight emergency locator transmitters (ELTs) are installed, one in each slide / raft at each passenger door.
The ELT automatically transmits when the slide / raft is deployed into the water. The ELT can be manually activated by applying a dampened finger tip into the water sensor on the antenna base.
Two portable ELTs are stowed in the passenger cabin
They will automatically transmit when immersed in water or can be manually activated with a switch.
The ELT automatically transmits distress signals on 121.5 MHz, 243 MHz, and 406 MHz if
a high deceleration is sensed, or if the ELT switch is positioned to ON.
halon extinguishers
the liquefied gas agent vaporizes and extinguishes the fire by removing the oxygen.
The extinguisher is used primarily on electrical, fuel, and grease fires
Water fire extinguishers
contain a solution of water mixed with antifreeze.
They are to be used on fabric or paper fires only. They are NOT to be used on electrical or grease fires.
Alternate Action Switch
When pushed out and extended, an alternate action switch is OFF.
The switch indicates the system is OFF by not displaying a word or not displaying the flow bar.
The boom microphone can be reselected by closing the left oxygen panel door and pushing and releasing the RESET / TEST Switch.
The oxygen flow can be restored by opening the left oxygen panel door; this will re-activate the oxygen mask microphone.
This also shuts off oxygen to the mask. Push the PRESS TO TEST / RESET button.
Pax O2 masks automatically drop if cabin altitude exceeds
approximately 13,500’
The passenger oxygen masks can also be deployed manually from the flight deck.
Pulling on one mask will activate the oxygen flow for all masks in that unit.
An inline green flow indicator confirms that oxygen is flowing to each mask.
