on the speed cards VMD speed line? (SOPM 04-08.8)

Answer 5

Bank angles in excess of 15° and holding at these altitudes and weights are prohibited.

Question 6

CA: Scenario: you are landing on runway 15 (runway magnetic heading 150) in a CRJ 200 and
tower reports the winds as 190 at 15 KIAS and braking actions as POOR, is a landing authorized
based on the crosswind component? (FOM 07-6)

Answer 6

Yes, The crosswind component is 10kts, and according to our limitations we cannot land
in crosswinds greater than 10kts with the BA reports of POOR.

considerations must be made prior to departure? (AFM A-Engines 02-05-4)

Answer 9

APR off performance must be used if the ambient temperature is -18°C and below, and
pressure altitude is less than 1000ft.

Question 11

CA: Scenario: During taxi the OAT is 4 C and the reported visibility is 1/2SM due to fog. The
aircraft has been deiced with Type 1 fluid for frost accumulation. What anti-ice systems must be
selected on for the CRJ-700? (SOPM 04-04.18)

Answer 11

Cowls.

Question 12

CA: When is a reduced thrust takeoff prohibited? (SOPM 04-06.12)

Answer 12

Cowl and/or wing anti-ice are/is selected ON, The runway is contaminated, Tailwind
components are in excess of 5kts, Wind shear warning are forecasted or reported, Anti-skid is inop, Takeoff
behind a heavy or larger aircraft, CRJ 200: Flaps 8 Takeoff.

Question 13

CA: What defines emergency fuel? What are the Emergency Fuel values for the CRJ 2/7/9?
(SOPM 05-01.16)

Answer 13

When the estimated fuel remaining on touchdown at the airport of intended landing is
less than 30 min. fuel endurance. 200 = 1050lb, 700 = 1500lb, 900 = 1550lb.
