Avionics Flashcards
Is there any time I cannot use VNAV?
VNAV operations using QFE are prohibited
How do I select WX Radar ON while on the ground?
SMC, WX Radar page 2.2, push ORIDE twice
Can VGP mode be armed if Preview Mode is active?
No
How does pilot know HUD combiner is in the correct position?
“ALIGN HUD” would display if out of position.
How many Air Data Systems (ADS) does the 650 have?
4
If the STBY ADS were to fail. What would be the indications?
ADS STBY FAIL - Blue CAS
Both SFD would have RED “X”s on the Altimeter and Airspeed.
About 10 minutes after APU Start. White ADS 3 displays on DU#4 and a blue CAS “ADS 2 FAIL”. Can you dispatch?
Yes, IAW MMEL.
Look in Abnormal Section of AFM 03-16-30
In this instance: RVSM limitation to M0.88 or less.
Are there any limitations when flying in RVSM airspace with ADS 1and 2, or 1 or 2?
Maximum RVSM Operating Airspeed/Mach when using ADS 1 and ADS 2 is 0.90
Maximum RVSM Operating Airspeed/Mach when using ADS 3 in combination with either ADS1 or ADS 2 is 0.88M
When using EVS, when can “EVS Lights” alone allow me to descend below mins?
Must use FD/AP, must have vertical guidance (either ILS or FMS vertical)
What is the Primary Heading source for the SFD?
AHRS + Magnetometer - indicated by a white “STBY” on the SFD.
SFD heading source is AHRS + Magnetometer. Can you select another heading source? How?
Yes. SMC, Press the “M” for menu and use the LSK to select the #1, 2, or 3 IRS.
What indication would you see if you select the same heading source for both onside SMC and PFD?
HDG + the IRS number would be amber on the SFD
Can you dispatch if Pilot’s CCD is inop? Both CCD’s inop?
Yes. Yes
Do you lose any functionality in the cockpit with pilot side CCD inop?
No
Can you dispatch with Standby ADS Inop?
Blue CAS - “ADS Stby Fail”
What other indications will you have with this CAS message?
No.
Red “X”s on the air data of both SFDs
When will the V speed awareness band appear on the HUD?
After pressing TOGA and the a/c is configured for T/O.
Using the HUD, how do you check proper seat level adjustment?
You can see a “T” at the top of the HUD and an inverted “T” on the bottom.
What’s the source of the HUD symbols?
The HUD computer
What’s the source of the EVS Image?
The EVS camera…uses infrared, optimized to detect runway lighting.
How can you tell by looking in the HUD if EVS is “ON”?
“EVS A”, “H”, or “L” -Desplayed in Upper left corner of HUD
How much time before needing to use it should you power up the EVS?
15 - 30 minutes
What is required for all IMC EVS Approaches?
Flight Director or autopilot with vertical guidance (either ILS or FMS vertical path)
When does the Unusual Attitude cues appear on HUD?
Greater than ±30° Pitch and/or Greater than 65° bank
On the SMC, the CAS/MACH display toggles the airspeed tape between Calibrated Airspeed and Mach Number only when the aircraft is above _______________.
25,000 feet.
A total of ____ messages can be displayed in the CAS window at a time, with the exception of _______________. In the unlikely event of more than 12 red messages, _____________________.
12, Red Messages.
the trim panel will be repositioned to the PFD’s so the other red messages (up to 17) can be displayed.
The pilot would generally select the GPWS ORIDE switch when _______________.
Flying a day VFR approach in areas of high terrain.
When pilot selects INHIBIT on the Master Warning Panel, this silences all Amber and Blue CAS message aural tones except:
9 exceptions to this: Lateral Cpl Data In-valid Vertical Cpl Data Invalid LPV Unavailable Autobrake Disarmed 5 messages associated with CAT 2 ILS operations.
When will the INHIBIT on the Master Caution/Warning Panel automatically deselect?
Takeoff or go-around at 400 feet AGL if the landing gear is retracted.
What’s the default heading and attitude reference for each SFD?
AHRS unit and magnetometer.
True/False: If the aircraft is in-air and onside selected heading source becomes invalid, the SMC automatically switches to next valid source.
True
How can you select another heading source for SFD?
Pressing the Menu (M) on BRT know and select either HDG 1, 2, or 3 (IRS 1, 2, or 3) Default is STBY, but that can’t be selected.
Which Audio Control Panels (ACPs) are powered by E-Batts?
All three
What do the letters “A”, “R”, “M” or “V” represent next to a Nav freq on MCDU?
“A” - Auto tuned
“R” - manual tuned
“M” - Can Only be tuned on Radio page
““V” - auto tune suspended because Nav Aid is selected for use.
What color is turbulence on WX radar?
Magenta
True/False: If WX is selected and there’s a terrain threat, EGPWS displays threats on map and PFD regardless of previous display selection.
True
How is predicted windshear displayed on WX radar?
Series of red and black bands followed by amber ‘searchlights’ extending from far edge of windshear event on each side and to the edge of WX data buffer.
What is the relative elevation of terrain depicted in red or yellow?
at or above aircraft’s altitude.
The Caution look ahead distance is computed from aircraft ground speed and turn rate. Depending on the situation, this distance roughly corresponds to how many seconds of advance warning?
40 to 60 seconds.
When in Synchronous mode, Master FMS (PFD CMD) is repeated on the __________.
MCDU 3
What’s the source of information to the DUs?
3 MAUs, 3 MCDUs and other sensors
