for a minimum of 3 minutes prior to takeoff. (ASA)

Question 15

Cool-down: Engines must be operated at or near idle (taxi thrust acceptable):

Answer 15

for a minimum of 3 minutes prior to shutdown. (ASA)

Question 16

Maximum Time Limit for Takeoff Thrust *

Answer 16

5 Minutes

• 10 minutes allowed in the event of the loss of thrust on one engine during takeoff.

Question 17

ENGINE START switches must be in the CONT position for:

Answer 17

• Takeoff
• Landing
• Anti-ice operation
• Operation in hail, sleet or moderate to heavy rain

Question 18

ENGINE START switches must be in the FLT position for:

Answer 18

• Operation in severe turbulence

APU Bleed Only

Answer 22

17,000 ft

Question 23

APU Electric Only

Answer 23

41,000 ft

Question 24

APU Maximum Operating Altitude

2 minutes after start

1 minute prior to shutdown.

NOTE: When the APU switch is moved to OFF, this time delay is met automatically. APU bleed valve may be open during engine start, but avoid engine power above idle. Except for engine start, the APU bleed valve must be closed when another source is pressurizing the left bleed air duct.

Question 26

Answer 27

Is prohibited.

Question 28

Do not deploy speed brakes in flight:

Answer 28

Below 1,000 ft AGL

Question 29

In flight, do not extend the SPEED BRAKE lever beyond:

Answer 29

the FLIGHT DETENT. (AFM)

Question 30

Do not deploy speed brakes with:

Answer 30

more than Flaps 10 extended.*

• Although not prohibited, the use of speedbrakes with Flaps 1-10 extended should be avoided as much as possible. The use of speedbrakes with flaps extended increases loads on the trailing edge flaps, resulting in increased wear and tear
