23
Q

If all four displays fail on approach, what is the primary backup?

A

The VGS (HUD)

24
Q

Which audio control panel is active during E-BATT only operations?

A

Pilots and copilots audio control panels, using the emergency selection for Comm 1. Copilots panel will not illuminate but is operative.

25
Q

What will happen if the pilots primary flight display goes blank?

A

The information will automatically switch to DU 2

26
Q

In the event of a dual engine failure, which MCDU will automatically display standby engine instruments and can be powered down to emergency batteries?

A

1 MCDU

27
Q

In the event of a dual generator failure, which MCDU will automatically display backup radio tuning and can be powered down to E BATTS?

A

3 MCDU

28
Q

Under the test menu key, how is RAD ALT checked? (3 steps)

A

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

29
Q

While established in an FMS holding pattern, if the exit prompt is pressed, what will the FMS direct the aircraft to do?

A

Proceed directly to the holding fix, fly over the holding fix, then proceed on course

30
Q

On an FMS-coupled approach, when does the APPROACH light illuminate?

A

2nm prior to the FAF/FAWP

31
Q

If VNAV is engaged, when does a VNAV track change alert occur?

A

Approximately 1 min prior to the top of descent point

32
Q

The altitude display tape on the PFDs will display dashes on the last two digits, when?

A

The rate of climb or descent exceeds 1000ft per min

33
Q

VOR and ILS course data displayed on the PFD in what color?

A

Green

34
Q

FMS course is displayed on the PFD in what color

A

Blue

35
Q

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?

A

The glide slope will not be intercepted

36
Q

How should a backcourse approach be set?

A

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

37
Q

How should the RNAV approach be set up to fly the approach to DA?

A

Just like an ILS. Set DA in DC, arm APP when prompted,set missed app alt in ALT preselector

38
Q

To fly the final segment of an RNAV approach flown in blue data, is an approach annunciator required? Are there exceptions?

A

Yes except for NDB or VOR based approaches low. In blue data if NAVAID is being displayed as well

39
Q

Why won’t the FMS accept a HOLD directly over a waypoint?

A

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.

40
Q

The minimum altitude to engage the autopilot after take off is?

A

200ft AGL

41
Q

The minimum auto pilot disengage altitude on approach is:

A

60 ft AGL precision

50 ft AGL MDA/DA

42
Q

What is the limitation concerning the use of the autopilot on go-around?

A

The auto pilot may not be used during a single engine missed approach

43
Q

Will the autopilot disconnect when selecting the go-around mode?

A

No

44
Q

How can the flashing of a red message and its associated 3 chime tone be canceled?

A

By pressing either red W

45
Q

How can the flashing of an Amber message and its associated 3 chime tone be canceled

A

By pressing either red W or amber C

46
Q

What message tones are inhibited when the WARN INHIBIT switch is selected?

A

Most amber and blue messages

47
Q

With the Warn INHIBIT selected, are the messages inhibited?

A

No, only the message tones

48
Q

If selected, when is WARNING INHIBIT active?

A

On take off through 400ft and on landing until manually deselected

49
Q

A current FMS database is required for

A

GPS approaches

50
Q

TCAS operation with one engine inop

A

Select TA only

51
Q

What is the effect on TAKEOFF DATA if the surface wind is not entered in TAKEOFF INIT, page 2?

A

Takeoff data will not be calculated.

52
Q

What would occur if a manual T° is entered by the crew in TAKEOFF INIT, page 2?

A

It will be displayed in inverse video, and takeoff V-SPEEDS cannot be boxed.

53
Q

How can obstacles entries be entered into the FMS?

A

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.
