Definition of icing conditions
Icing conditions exist when SAT on the ground or TAT inflight is:
- 10C or below; and
- Visible moisture is present in any form such as clouds, fog with visibility < 1SM, rain, show, sleet, ice crystals; or
- When operating on ramps, taxiways or runways where surface snow, ice, standing water or slush may be ingested by the engines or freeze on engines, nacelles or engine probes.
When must engine and wing anti-ice systems be used on the ground?
During taxi and takeoff, the MCDU TO DATASET MENU must be set to ALL when SAT is 10C or below and icing conditions exist or are anticipated
Min fuel tank temperature

EICAS Engine indications: what does red indicate
Max and min limitations
EICAS engine indications: what does amber indicate?
Caution range
EICAS engine indications: what does green indicate?

Single engine taxi is not authorized when…
- Ice accretion in the form of freezing rain, freezing drizzle, freezing fog, or heavy snow is anticipated
- braking action is less than good
- RVR is less than 1200
- Power out is required (no pushback)
- a two minute warmup cannot be accomplished
After landing if starting the APU, do not shut down an engine until…
…the APU has stabilized at 95% or greater for at least 3 seconds
Min engine cooldown period
2 minutes
When performing a single engine taxi with engine 2…
…the electric HYD PUMP 1 must be ON to ensure hydraulic system 1 is pressurized
FMS speeds may only be used when?
During normal flight operations
Whenever a QRH procedure requires an airspeed correction…
The use of FMS speeds is prohibited
Stabilized approach criteria
From 1,000 ft above TDZE: - final landing config selected - on correct vertical path, descent rate <= 1,000 FPM - correct lateral track From 500 ft above TDZE - at approach speed (-5 to +10) - engines spooled*
- stabilized at the thrust setting required to maintain airspeed and rate of descent
