Climb Flashcards
How much more fuel flow can the climb phase register over the cruise phase?
Up to a 40% increase over cruise fuel flows.
After the selection of a AFCS mode what must be verified regarding thrust settings?
Verify climb thrust is selected (CLB)
What is the Skywest climb speed schedule (in lieu of ECON speeds) Below 10000 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Above 10000 - Normal\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \:Long Range\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ High speed\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
Below 10,000 250KIAS Above 10000 Normal 290KIAS to 0.74M Long Range LRC to 0.74M High speed 310 KIAS to 0.74M
What other speeds may be used in lieu of ECON speeds?
FMS speeds or speeds from SKYW speed scheduale
How can high speed climbs affect fuel burn?
significantly affect fuel burn
What is the best angle of climb speed (Vx) with flaps retracted at all gross weights?
VFS
What is the best rate of climb speed (Vy) with flaps retracted at all gross weights?
VFS +50kts
Which speed is recommended to clear low altitude turbulence?
Vy (VFS+50kts)
What are the two climb thrust modes for the CF34 engines?
CLB-1 (max available thrust)
CLB-2 (reduced thrust , equivalent of 90% max, CLB-1 seal level
How is climb thrust set?
Climb thrust is selected when FLCH or VNAV is selected on the GP
How is CLB-1 mode inhibited on the ground?
If the takeoff thrust selected is lower than CLB-1 (CLB-1 is the default setting on aircraft power-up , on the ground until a lower thrust is selected, then CLB-2 becomes the default until the next power down/up)
At what altitudes does IAS change to MACH?
FL290
If the automatic ice protection system does not activate, what crew action is required?
turn it on manually
For a OEI climb what speed and thrust should be set/verified after final flap retraction?
VFS and CON
What speed mode is prohibited during OEI operations?
FMS speed mode
