Aircraft General Flashcards
Aircraft: Width - Length - Height - Maximum passengers -
54’7”
55’8”
21’2”
9
Minimum Strut inflation:
Nose - 2”
Main - 1.6”
Where are the Batteries located:
Aircraft with the optional APU - wheel well
No APU - Tail cone area
What is the difference between the Batteries besides their location:
Batteries in wheel well are 24 amp/hour Vs 36
In order to preflight this airplane properly, what is a necessary piece of equipment:
A ladder (flashlight would also be handy)
How must you configure the airplane prior to towing:
Steering Link (Torque Knee) must be disconnected and upper link stowed
Why is it important to pin the upper torque link:
The link may fall and activate the ground shift (WOW) on the nose wheel and with power on the aircraft the PITOT HEAT would be turned ON and damage the system
What is best L/D on AOA:
.6
Which annunciators will flash:
Which annunciators will not trigger the MC:
APU FIRE and FUEL MAN MODE
SURF DE-ICE and NAC ANTI-ICE
To prevent damage to the Cabin Door Seal, how can it be depressurized prior to opening:
- By slowly lifting the door handle and listening for door seal deflation
Note: The door seal is inflated by HP pneumatics from the engines. It’s not effected by APU bleed air
Note: If the seal does not deflate, an ALTN means of deflating the seal is behind a panel on aft side of one of the Door Steps
What would turn ON the EMER light system:
If the EMER lights were ON and there was no power on the airplane, could they be turned OFF:
Loss of both DISTR buses
Loss of both generators (GLC’s open) or
Manually ON if power were on the airplane
NO - power would have to be established on the airplane first (BATT switch ON)
To what temperature does the Baggage Heating Blanket attempt to maintain:
45 deg F
