Aircraft General Flashcards
Recall the minimum recommended taxiway width for a 180 degree turn
81’
Recall the minimum flight crew oxygen quantity for dispatch
1000 psi
Recall aircraft minimum quantities for engine oil
Maintenance stations: 9 quarts
Non-maintenance stations: 7 quarts
Recall aircraft minimum hydraulic quantities
7 quarts
Recall the function of the Dome, Thunderstorm & General Cockpit Lighting switches
- OVHD and INST & PED – Inner/Outer rheostats control respective overhead, instrument and pedestal lights and floodlights
NOTE: The inner rheostats control the flight deck’s emergency lighting during a LOSS OF ALL GENERATORS event – ensure they are out of the OFF position during preflight
Recall the function of the EMER LT Switch
- OFF – Extinguishes emergency lights (emergency battery packs are being charged)
- ARM - Normal position (emergency battery packs are armed)
- ON - Activates emergency battery packs to illuminate emergency lights
Recall the function of aircraft External Light switches
Lim: Wing landing light motors should be allowed to cool 1 ½ minutes after the initial extension or retraction and 3 ½ minutes after each subsequent extension or retraction. Lamps should not be operated in still air for more than 10 minutes
Recall the maximum aircraft takeoff weight (MTOW)
121,000 LBs
Recall the maximum aircraft landing weight (MLW)
110,000 LBs
Recall the maximum aircraft taxi weight (MTW)
122,000 LBs
Recall the maximum aircraft zero fuel weight (MZFW)
100,500 LBs
Recall the maximum lateral fuel imbalance
1,500 LBs
Recall PREFLIGHT considerations for center tank fuel pumps
Prior to engine start on any flight where center tank fuel is present and will be needed for that route segment, the center tank pumps must be individually checked to verify pump operation
Recall the limitation on using speedbrakes with flaps extended
Speedbrakes may not be used with flaps extended beyond 20º
Recall the function of the PASS OXY MASK Switch
Moving the switch to EJECT opens all oxygen compartment doors. The oxygen masks will free fall from the overhead panel
NOTE: Holding switch in EJECT more than 5 seconds can damage the oxygen compartment latches
