Avionics Flashcards
Pitot static system malfunction general checklist flow
- Pitot heat switch - check on
- Cockpit instruments - compare (both cockpits including standbys)
- Radar altimeter - use below 5,000 ft AGL
- Proceed to and maintain VMC if possible
EED Internal Failure general checklist flow
If EED modes do not switch
- M pushbutton - press
If EED still failed
- EED O/N/D Power Knob - Cycle off, then Day or Night
If EED still failed (you can view EED data on the MFD)
- Land as soon as practical
Which instruments display zero with no sensor data?
RPM and EGT
General checklist flow for EED sensor failure
If EED is in Slave
- M pushbutton - PRESS
If OFF condition persists
- Cycle power on FCP and RCP EEDs
If OFF condition continues
- Land as soon as practical
When the EED detects an internal failure that does not affect an ability to display engine data, ____ is displayed in the center of the EED
BIT FAIL
General checklist flow for EED Internal BIT Failure
If failed EED is Master
- M pushbutton - PRESS
General checklist flow for EED hot
- If required, monitor engine instruments via the EED in the other cockpit or via the EED display page on the MFD
- Land as soon as practical
If EED HOT is displayed in the EED message window, what happens if you are in the day mode?
Brightness is reduced by 50%
If EED HOT condition persists for 1 minute, what will happen?
The EED lamp shuts off
How can you confirm EGI Failure - GPS?
Check for .8nm/hour accuracy (drift rate) on the EGI page
If a GPS failure occurs, should you cycle EGI power to regain GPS functionality
NO. INS is still availble provided EGI power is not cycled. Cycling the EGI power switch while in flight will force an air alignment which cannot be accomplished without GPS, forcing the EGI into ATT mode. The EGI supplies only attitude and relative heading data in ATT mode and g is not available
General checklist flow for EGI Failure - GPS
Confirm EGI solution at UR-3 on UFCP EGI Page - EGI
Some indications of EGI Failure - INS include…
Attitude removed from HUD and MFD displays
Empty circle replaces EADI on MFD
Heading info on the HUD represents GPS derived ground track
General checklist flow for EGI Failure - INS
- Refer to standby instruments for altitude and heading
- Maintain SLUF
- AAP EGI power switch - OFF (10 seconds minimum) THEN ON (Inflight alignment begins)^ consider all factors before doing this
- LEVEL is displayed in the HUD during EGI ATT mode and into Air-Align mode
- Confirm MFD EGI page transitions into ATT mode and Air-align mode; if not, the inflight alignment has failed
If inflight alignment fails
- Land as soon as practical
Some indications of EGI Failure - TOTAL include…
Attitude information removed from HUD and MFD
Empty circle replaces the EADI
360 will be displayed on the heading scale on the MFD and be blank on the HUD
