What are the correct indications when testing the EGPWS?
TERRAIN TEST display on the INAV, followed by a change of the range ring to 5 miles, followed by a rebuild of the terrain display
Where does the performance computer obtain inputs to calculate the correct Vref speed?
SAT and pressure altitude (ADM), aircraft weight (MCDU), and flap handle position
The heading source for each EBDI?
HDG1-
HDG2-
STBY-
HDG 1- 1 IRS

STBY- magnetometer in the tail
If all four displays fail on approach, what is the primary backup?
The VGS (HUD)
Which audio control panel is active during E-BATT only operations?
Pilots and copilots audio control panels, using the emergency selection for Comm 1. Copilots panel will not illuminate but is operative.

1 MCDU
In the event of a dual generator failure, which MCDU will automatically display backup radio tuning and can be powered down to E BATTS?
3 MCDU
Under the test menu key, how is RAD ALT checked? (3 steps)
100ft will be displayed on the ADI portion of both PFDs
An amber line 100 ft below the lubber line on both altimeters and ground awareness symbology appears
EGPWS aural warnings if button is held depressed
While established in an FMS holding pattern, if the exit prompt is pressed, what will the FMS direct the aircraft to do?
Proceed directly to the holding fix, fly over the holding fix, then proceed on course
On an FMS-coupled approach, when does the APPROACH light illuminate?
2nm prior to the FAF/FAWP
If VNAV is engaged, when does a VNAV track change alert occur?
Approximately 1 min prior to the top of descent point
The altitude display tape on the PFDs will display dashes on the last two digits, when?
The rate of climb or descent exceeds 1000ft per min
VOR and ILS course data displayed on the PFD in what color?
Green
FMS course is displayed on the PFD in what color
Blue
While being vectored for an ILS approach, if the glide slope is intercepted before the localizer, and approach is selected, what will be the effect?
The glide slope will not be intercepted
How should a backcourse approach be set?
The course is set to the inbound course of the ILS, MDA set in the display controller and guidance panel; when cleared for the approach, select BC on the guidance panel
How should the RNAV approach be set up to fly the approach to DA?
Just like an ILS. Set DA in DC, arm APP when prompted,set missed app alt in ALT preselector
To fly the final segment of an RNAV approach flown in blue data, is an approach annunciator required? Are there exceptions?
Yes except for NDB or VOR based approaches low. In blue data if NAVAID is being displayed as well
Why won’t the FMS accept a HOLD directly over a waypoint?
The HOLD must be selected 1 min prior to holding to perform the math required for proper entry and speed. If a HOLD is selected less than 1 min prior, the FMS cannot perform the math.
The minimum altitude to engage the autopilot after take off is?
200ft AGL
The minimum auto pilot disengage altitude on approach is:
60 ft AGL precision
50 ft AGL MDA/DA
What is the limitation concerning the use of the autopilot on go-around?
The auto pilot may not be used during a single engine missed approach
Will the autopilot disconnect when selecting the go-around mode?
No
How can the flashing of a red message and its associated 3 chime tone be canceled?
By pressing either red W
How can the flashing of an Amber message and its associated 3 chime tone be canceled
By pressing either red W or amber C
What message tones are inhibited when the WARN INHIBIT switch is selected?
Most amber and blue messages
With the Warn INHIBIT selected, are the messages inhibited?
No, only the message tones
If selected, when is WARNING INHIBIT active?
On take off through 400ft and on landing until manually deselected
A current FMS database is required for
GPS approaches
TCAS operation with one engine inop
Select TA only
What is the effect on TAKEOFF DATA if the surface wind is not entered in TAKEOFF INIT, page 2?
Takeoff data will not be calculated.
What would occur if a manual T° is entered by the crew in TAKEOFF INIT, page 2?
It will be displayed in inverse video, and takeoff V-SPEEDS cannot be boxed.
How can obstacles entries be entered into the FMS?
In TAKEOFF INIT, by defining a specific obstacle position in MSL height and feet from the end of the runway, or in FT per NM to an MSL altitude.
