AQP oral Flashcards
What does the AVAIL light mean?
AVAIL light means correct voltage, frequency, and phase.
What are the sources of AC power?
- 2 engine driven generators
- APU generator
- 1 Air Driven Generator (ADG)
- 1 AC external power plug in
What does the Generator Control Unit do?
Controls and monitors the generators, and provides protection and voltage regulation for each generator
What is the main battery rated to?
17 Amps 24 Volts
How long can the battery master be left on without another power source?
5 minutes
Why the 5 min limitation?
Because the ED1 and ED2 utilize AC cooling fans, and they will overheat
What is the IDG and what does it do?
The integrated drive generator converts variable N2 speed to a constant 12,000 RPM generator speed
What are the engine driven generators rated to?
40 KVA, 115 VAC, 400 Hz
What is the APU Generator rated to?
40 KVA, 115 VAC, 400 Hz
When would the ADG automatically deploy?
When the AC Bus 1 and AC Bus 2 lose power
What is the ADG rated to?
15 KVA, 115 VAC, and 400 Hz
What does the ADG power?
- Ac ESS Bus
- Hyd Pump 3B
- Stab Trim ch 2
- Flaps/Slats 1/2 speed
What would cause the FAULT light on the IDG to illuminate?
High oil temperature and/or Low oil pressure
What will cause the AC ESS XFER switch light to illuminate?
The AC ESS XFER switch will illuminate anytime the AC ESS Bus is not being powered by AC Bus 1
What is the priority for the AUTO XFER?
- On side
- APU
- Off side
- External Power
What would cause the FAIL light to illuminate on the AUTO XFER switch light?
The GCU has detected a bus fault or generator over current
What will happen when the LH/RH eng fire push switch lights are selected?
- Fuel SOV closes
- Hydraulic SOV closes
- Bleed air SOV closes
- IDGs are taken offline
- Engine bottle squibs are armed
What happens if a crew member selects the L Hyd SOV?
The left Hyd SOV closes and the flow of hydraulic fluid is shutoff to the engine driven pump
The QRH asks the crew to verify that the SOV is closed, where is the L Hyd SOV located?
Picture
How many hydraulic systems does the CRJ900 have?
Hydraulic power is provided by 3 independent systems
What is the hydraulic system normal pressure?
3000 PSI
What is the normal hydraulic fluid quantity?
45-85%
During normal cruise, how many pumps would be operating?
3 hydraulic pumps
What would cause the back up (b) pumps to turn on?
Flaps greater than zero (0)
What lighting should be on when instructed to “line up and wait”?
All lights except landing and taxi
What would cause the boost pumps to automatically turn on?
Low fuel pressure at the main ejector
In AUTO mode, when would the system begin to transfer fuel?
When an imbalance of more than 200 lbs exists
When will the system stop transferring fuel?
When the fuel tanks are balanced plus 50 lbs
What would cause the GRAVITY XFLOW FAIL light to illuminate?
The gravity cross flow valve is in the uncommanded position
Can you identify the gravity cross flow valve?

How many fuel pumps does the CRJ have?
5 in total
- 2 engine driven pumps
- 2 boost pumps
- 1 APU pump
What is the max fuel imbalance for takeoff?
300 lbs
What is the max fuel imbalance for all phases of flight?
800 lbs
What would cause the fuel SOV to close?
The engine fire push switch
After selecting the APU PWR FUEL switch, what must the crew observe prior to selecting the START/STOP switch?
- APU SOV OPEN Status message
- APU IN BITE Status message
- APU RPM and EGT gages
- APU DOOR OPEN message displayed
When will the APU AVAIL light illuminate?
At 99% RPM plus 2 seconds
What is the maximum altitude for operating APU?
FL410
What is the maximum altitude to start APU?
FL370
What is the maximum altitude on APU for bleed air extraction?
FL250
If the APU door position is unknown or OPEN with APU not operating, what airspeed is the crew restricted to?
220 kts
