Q

If PFD displays CAS MSG, what does that mean?

A

CAS (Crew Alerting System) compares EICAS messages on both the CA and FO MFD via reversion. If the message comes up, IC-600 1 & 2 disagree on the number of messages on the EICAS. Look in QRH in non-EICAS message troubleshooting section.

A

Main wheels on the ground and the wheel speed >25 kts

Nose gear on the ground and thrust lever on idle.

60
Q

What separates the APU from the main aircraft?

A

A

Right wing fuel tank

63
Q

How do you place the APU in “ground safe” mode?

A
Batteries - OFF
Emergency lights - OFF
APU bleed - OFF
APU generator - ON
Parking brake - Set
64
Q

If all 3 fuel pumps fail, how does the engine get its fuel supply?

A

Suction line sucks fuel from tank via the FPMU. Limited up to 25,000 feet only.

65
Q

If all 3 fuel pumps are working, what other pump supplies the engine?

A

Ejector pump

66
Q

What keeps the collector box immersed in fuel?

Ejector suction pump routes fuel from the collector box and back to collector box with a venturi

67
Q
