180. Normally, how many fire loops are necessary to trigger an engine fire warning?
2
181
181. If a fire loop has a fault, can the engine it is installed on still have a fire warning?
Yes. When the fault occurs the ENG FLT LOOP ALERT message will appear. By pressing the lighted button, the fire warning for that engine is configured to produce if only one (1) loop registers the fire.

Press the button below the handle.
183
183. If the oxygen mask flow selector is set to normal, what will be delivered to the mask?
Diluted oxygen in a decreasing ratio to about 35,000 feet. Above roughly 35,000 feet you will receive 100% oxygen.
184
184. If the passenger oxygen control is set to automatic, the passenger oxygen masks should deploy if the cabin altitude gets high enough. What should be done if this does not take place?
Place the passenger oxygen control to manual.
185
185. How do we shut off the oxygen flow to the crew oxygen masks after it is no longer needed?
Push the reset/test bar forward.
186
186. When using the crew oxygen mask, what two ways are there to receive oxygen under positive pressure?
By rotating the selector knob to Emergency, or automatically between 36,000’ and 45,000’.
187
187. There are two oxygen pressure gauges on the oxygen control panel. If both of those gauges indicate an adequate supply of oxygen, can we expect to receive oxygen if needed?
Not necessarily; the gauges will indicate bottle pressure even if the supply switches are off.
188
188. If the crew oxygen masks are needed how would we verify that we are receiving oxygen?
By observing the flow indicator in the forward right corner of the stowage box. (Yellow and black ‘+’ sign)
189

No. 1 VHF Comm. radio
190
190. What communications equipment will be available if the Standby Electrical system (ABEX) is used?
No. 1 VHF Comm. radio
191
191. On the audio panel, what does the MASK button do?

192
192. On the audio panel, what does the HMIKE button do?
If both crewmembers select HMIKE, they may communicate without using the interphone key.
193
193. On the audio panel, what does the PAGE button do?
It enables a cockpit crewmember to speak to all passengers in the cabin through the cabin speakers.
194
194. On the audio panel, what does the CALL button do?
It enables a cockpit crewmember to speak directly to a cabin crewmember at a specific location, usually in the galley.
195
195. What is the priority for messages of different color?
Red, amber, blue
196
196. If a red message is flashing, how can it be stopped?
By pressing either Master Warning light (‘W’)
197
197. If a blue message is flashing how can it be stopped?
It stops on its own after 5 seconds.
198
198. What does a red ‘X’ over the CAS display signify?
Failure of the fault warning computer
199
199. What is the difference between a Display Unit going blank and a Display Unit going blank with a red ‘X’ displayed?
If the Display unit is blank it has either failed, been selected OFF or been dimmed completely; if a red ‘X’ appears on a blank screen, the symbol generator supplying it has failed.
200
200. If all of the right engine instruments show amber dashes what would you suspect is the problem, and how would you correct it?
DAU No. 2, Channel B has failed; go to the sensor page and select DAU No. 2, Channel A
201
201. The DBDI’s have three (3) lights in the upper right-hand corner; one is green (AHDG), one is amber (STBY) and one is red (STBY). What do they mean?
If the green light comes on it indicates that the DBDI is using the alternate IRS for heading information. If the amber light comes on it indicates that the IRS input has failed, and that the DBDI is using information from the flux valve. If the rd light comes on the flux valve input has failed.
202
202. Why is it recommended that we not use the Runway Position feature?
An IRS position error is calculated by the FMS based on starting position and the time that the IRS entered the NAV mode. When IRS position is updated, the position error calculation would now be inaccurate.
203
203. How do you create a place/bearing/distance waypoint?
By line selecting a waypoint into the scratchpad, typing in the desired bearing and then typing in the distance. When this is done, line select this information into the flight plan wherever you want it.
204
204. What is the priority for navigation sensor use by the FMS?
GPS, DME/DME, VOR/DME, LRN blending
205
205. If an NDB approach is made we must identify the navaid prior to starting the approach; however, it is not necessary to continuously monitor the audio during the approach. Why?
If the signal from the NDB is lost, the bearing pointer will disappear.
206
206. In which axes does the autopilot have authority?
Roll and pitch
207
207. What does the ‘BC’ button do on the flight guidance panel?
It enables the flight director to track a back course.
208
208. If the yaw damper fails, will the autopilot work?
NO
209
209. What takes place when TO/GA is selected in flight?
Autopilot disconnects
If autothrottles are engaged, they will move to Go Around power
Flight director issues a pitch up command of 12 degrees (or speed command in SPZ-8400)
Flight director issues a roll command of wings level
Missed approach procedure is displayed (if FMS is properly sequenced)
210
210. What practical conditions must be met to engage the autothrottles on the ground?
Takeoff mode must be on the flight director (TO/GA)
EPR must be at least 1.17
Isolation valve must be closed
211
211. How many autopilots are in the airplane?
2
212
212. Where are the shoulder harness locks?
On the inboard side of each pilot’s seat toward the bottom and aft
213
213. How do you open the overwing emergency exits?
Pull the handle up and pull the window inboard.
214
214. There is a ring on the upper surface of the wing approximately 10-12 feet from the fuselage at about mid-chord. What is it for?
It is for attaching a rope from the emergency exit to the ring. The rope may then be used as a hand rail.
215
215. Where are the crew life jackets stowed?
In a pouch at the back of the seat toward the bottom.
216
216. When doing the cabin preflight, what should we check for on the fire extinguishers?
Pressure gauge in the green arc and a current inspection.
217
217. Which exterior lights are powered from the Emergency batteries?
The lights below each emergency exit, one at the leading edge of the wing and one underwing light.
218
218. What is the power source for the cabin emergency lights?
A self-contained battery pack using batteries that are approximately the same as D-cell flashlight batteries.
219
219. How would you turn all the cockpit lights to full bright?
Turning on the floodlight override switch
220
220. If the passenger oxygen shutoff valve is opened what cabin sign will come on automatically?
NO SMOKING
221
221. The taxi lights are located on the nose strut. If the nosewheel steering is turned, will the taxi lights also turn?
YES
222
222. If the taxi lights are on when the landing gear is retracted, will the lights go out?
S/N 1000-1155 without ASC 131 – NO
| S/N 1156 and subsequent, aircraft with ASC 131 – YES
223
223. What are the pulselights?
Turning on the pulselights causes the landing lights to illuminate alternately, making the airplane easier to see.
224
224. The utility lights are contained in the tail compartment. Can these lights be turned on in flight?
Yes. There is a switch labeled tail compartment lights on the right-hand side of the baggage compartment that controls these lights.
