Chapter 4 - Operating Procedures Flashcards
Who is responsible for preflight?
The PIC
When should a ‘Safety and Power Up’ checklists be performed?
First flight of the day
Or a power down is required
During safety and power up checklist, what documents should be onboard the aircraft?
AFM* QRH QRC* QRH* Aircraft Checklist * MEL / NEF Registration Certificate * Airworthiness Certificate * FMS User’s Handbook Fleet Radio License *
During safety and power up checklist, what documents should be in the maintenance can?
M-74 Security Log DMI Placards Aircraft Flight Log * Aircraft Maintenance Log * Deferred Maintenance Item (DMI) Log*
When should a cold weather preflight be conducted?
- The OAT is 5°C or less, or
- The wing fuel temperature is 0°C or less, or
- Atmospheric conditions conducive to icing exist, or
- The aircraft has remained overnight and may have frozen contaminants due to exposure to frost or precipitation, which could involve the entire airframe, or
- On any through ight where residual ice from the inbound ight may have accumulated on airframe surfaces or components, or
- Cold soak ice is suspected in the fuel tank area.
How much frost can be on the top of the wing?
It must be free of frost
How much frost can be on the bottom of the wing?
3mm (1/8 inch”)
How should nose wheel steering be set for push back?
Nose wheel steering should be OFF
How long should the engines be allowed to warm up?
2 minutes.
Taxi time can be included
How long should you wait after N2 stabilization to shut down APU?
30 seconds
Who can start the aircraft if it is moving?
The first officer
What must be set if the captain is going to start the engine?
The parking brake
Can you do a bleed air start on an active taxi way?
Yes. Be cautious of jet blast
What is the procedure if no oil pressure is indicated by idle RPM?
An immediate shut down
Can you start the engines at the jet way?
Only number 2 engine
When must an engine start be manually aborted?
- No positive oil pressure indication within 10 seconds after N2 speed starts to increase
- During engine start with a tailwind, when a positive increase of N1 is not indicated before starter cutout (50% N2). In this case, the airplane is repositioned prior to engine start to minimize tailwind effects.
- No ITT indication within 30 seconds of engine start
- ITT exceeds start limit (815°C - Hot)
- When oil pressure stabilizes below the engine limits
- N1 and/or N2 failing to accelerate to stable idle speed (hung start)
- An intermittent electrical pneumatic or starter malfunction occurs before the starter disengagement
How should you do a flight control check with one engine?
Check one control at a time to avoid no dispatch message
What needs to be done prior to taxi?
Clear left and right
Both flight deck crewmembers have the Airport Diagram chart available for reference
Complex taxi instructions are written down
Challenge and response are used by the ight deck crew when con rming taxi instructions
The entire Before Takeoff Checklist is completed prior to initiating a back-taxi on the runway to be used for takeoff
What’s maximum taxi speed on a straight away
30kts
What is the maximum taxi speed for a straight wet taxiway?
10 kts
What’s the max taxi speed for a wet turn?
5kts
What’s the max taxi speed for a dry turn?
10 kts
What precent N1 should you try to stay below during taxi?
40%
Single engine taxi is conducted for all operations except:
Ramp/Taxiway surface contamination
Maneuvering room in the ramp/gate area is marginal
Taxi time to/from a runway is expected to be < 5 minutes
Airport-special regulations prohibit single-engine taxi
Risk of injury to personnel or damage to equipment
What should be done if the flaps / slats are left up during taxi?
Complete ‘After Start Checklist’
Who verbally confirms the runway?
The captain
What is the purpose of ‘80kts call out?’
Incapacitation check and airspeed cross - check.
When are flex thrust takeoffs prohibited?
Takeoff on contaminated runways
Reported or forecast windshear
When a special departure procedure specifics full thrust for takeoff
When should the landing gear selector be selected up?
After liftoff when positive rate of climb is established
What are the takeoff actions and call outs for PF on the runway?
Advance thrust levers to 40% N1 to allow engines to stabilize
Advance thrust levers toward TO/GA
Ensure AT has engage
Advance TLs to TO/GA before 60kt
“Check Thrust”
What are the actions and call outs for the PM with the airplane on the runway?
Verify N1 has reached the target
ATTCS is green and engine parameters are normal
“Thrust Checked”
What are the PM callouts when the airplane passes 80 KIAS?
“Eighty Knots”
What are the PF callouts when the airplane passes 80 KIAS?
“Checked”
What are the callouts for the PM as the airplane passes V1 and VR?
“V1”
“Rotate”
What are the actions and callouts for PM/PF at positive rate of climb?
Verify positive rate of climb
“Positive Rate”
———— PF —————-
Confirms positive rate of climb
“Gear up”
————————————
“Gear up”

What are the callouts and actions for PF and PM at 400ft AGL?
——————PF——————-
“Heading” or “NAV”

What are the actions and callouts at acceleration altitude for PF and PM?
—————-PF—————-
“Climb sequence, after takeoff checklist”
—————PM—————
Select VNAV and FMS speeds
Retract flaps on schedule
When flaps are at zero, accomplish the AFTER TAKEOFF CHECKLIST
“After takeoff checklist complete”
Select CLB 1
Are there any special procedures for crosswind takeoff?
No.
Can you takeoff with frost adhering to any surface?
No, takeoff is prohibited
What is the procedure for a takeoff in icing conditions?
Takeoff must be set to 54% N1 and held at that thrust level for 30 seconds or until fan vibration level returns to normal

Who’s decision is it to initiate the RTO?
The captain
