When does the altitude box turn amber and begin flashing?
When the altitude is deviated by 300ft or more
What are PLI’s, what do they do and in what config?
Pitch limit indicators PLI (Eyebrows) – These indicate stick shaker activation for the existing conditions when you pitch up to 15˚ with flaps out

What is the aural alert with a TO CONFIG warning?

Company procedure, MEL up to TO, QRH once in flt
How long does the PASS OXY last?
Circa 12 mins`
Should you activate PASS OXY for smoke in the cabin?
No, it mixes with the cabin air so won’t help. The flt deck supply to the masks is direct so is needed with smoke/fumes.
If the wx radar isn’t selected on before TO do you lose windshear protection?
No, but yes. Automatically selected on as TLs set to TO thrust, but circa 12 sec delay until returns can generate a warning.
Scan width of WX radar?
Normally +/- 90 deg, when predictive windshear active +/- 60 deg
When do the overwing exits lock?
3/4 cabin doors closed & either engine running & (A-G logic in the air, or both TLs advanced)
When do the overwing exits unlock?
2/4 cabin doors open & engines off & (A-G logic on gnd or either TL at closed) or DC power lost

What flt deck indications are there for door slide arming and deployment?
None
When do the overwing exits lock?
3/4 cabin doors closed & either engine running & (A-G logic in the air, or both TLs advanced)
