Autoflight, Electrical, Fire Protection and Fuel limits

Question 1

Autopilot must be engaged above _______ unless otherwise permitted by the MEL.

Answer 1

FL200

Question 2

IAS MODE

Answer 2

Prohibited during approach

Question 3

DES MODE (F/D or A/P coupled)

Answer 3

Prohibited during approach

Question 4

APPR MODE

Answer 4

Prohibited for VOR

approaches

Question 5

ADC SOURCE

Answer 5

ADC source coupled to the
active autopilot must be the
same as that coupled to
the ATC transponder during
flight in RVSM airspace.

Question 6

Earliest you can engage AP after Takeoff

Answer 6

Minimum Use Elevation 600 ft AGL

Question 7

Lowest altitude use of AP for Non-precision - Visual Approach

Answer 7

400 ft AGL

*The autopilot may not be used at an altitude above the terrain that is less than 50 ft below the MDA for the approach procedure or 400 ft AGL, whichever is higher.

Question 8

Lowest altitude use of AP for Precision Approach

Answer 8

80 ft AGL and glidepath with AP engaged must be ≤3.5°
(>3.5° Prohibited 200/900)

CRJ 700 only, 120 ft AGL >3.5° and ≤4.0° approved < 4000’ AGL
(>4.0° prohibited )

CRJ 900 only, Single engine 110ft <4000 AGL

**The autopilot may not be used at an altitude above the terrain that is less than 50 ft above the
terrain, or the altitude specified above, whichever is higher.

Question 9

Ground Ops DC ONLY

Answer 9

5 min 5 min 5 min

Question 10

Answer 11

to FL370 – 30kVA
to FL410 – 40kVA
to FL410 – 40kVA

Answer 13

14,518 lb 19,594 lb 19,594 lb

Question 14

Total - Gravity Refueling

Answer 14

13,906 lb 14,580 lb 14,810 lb

Question 15

Max Imbalance for T/O

Answer 15

800 lb 300 lb 300 lb

Question 16

*Min for GA per wing

Answer 16

450 lb 600 lb 600 lb

*Assumes a maximum airplane climb attitude of 10° nose up.

Question 17

Takeoff with a fuel load in excess of 500 lb in the center tank is not permitted unless:

Answer 17

Each main tank is above 4,400 lb; or
• Each wing tank is above 2,000 lb; and
• The allowable zero fuel weight is reduced by the weight of the fuel in the center tank
in excess of 500 lb; and
• The allowable center of gravity (CG) in this configuration is verified to be within allowable
CG envelope.

Question 18

Powered crossflow and gravity crossflow must be:

Answer 18

Off for takeoff.

Question 19

When fuel other than Jet-A is to be used

Answer 19

consult QRH Volume 1 for limitations.
