Q

Do normal exterior inspection, with additional steps?

A

Surfaces
*light coatings of frost up to 3mm lower wing due cold fuel is OK, as long as LED, control surface, tab surface, upper wind surface, winglet surface, control balance panel cavities must be free of snow, ice, frost. Thin HOAR frost upper surface OK, if all vents and ports clear.This hoarfrost is a uniform white deposit of fine crystalline texture, on exposed surfaces on cold and cloudless night. Thin enough to distinguish surface features underneath.

Control surface balance panel cavities
check drainage after snow removal, puddles water may freeze inflight.

pitot probes and ports
all free of snow, ice.Water rundown after snow removal may free immediately forward of static ports and cause ice buildup which disturbs airflow over static ports.

Air conditioning inlet and exits
air inlets, exists, outflow valve, free snow and ice.APU operating, verify outflow valve fully open.

Engine inlets
inlet cowling free snow, ice
fab free to rotate
Snow, ice on fan spinner or fan blade during extended shutdown periods, must be removed by maintenance or other means before engine start.
Snow/Ice on fan spinner/fan blades during approach or taxi in is OK, if fan free to rotate and snow/ice removed using ice shedding proc during taxi out and before setting TO thrust.

Fuel tank vents

landing gear doors

APU air inlets.
free of snow, ice before APU start.

A

Q

Taxi Method out?

A

Reduced speed, smaller nose wheel and rudder inputs.Differential thrust to keep turn momentum. SLippery tways high speed or with high crosswinds = SKID!

22
Q

Operate engines over standing de/anti-ice fluid -

A

use minimum thrust. Build up of fluid on engine compressor = compressor stalls and engine surges.

23
Q

EAI required and OAT 3 of below?

A

Engine run up to minimize build up.
Min 70% N1 30s at intervals maximum 30min.

24
Q

Fan blade ice build is cumulative?

A

Fan spinner and blades not deiced prior taxi out, time engines were operating during taxi IN should be included in the 30min interval.

25
Q

Airport surface condition dont allow 70% N1?

A

Set thrust level high as practical

26
Q

Freezing rain, freezing drizzle, freezing fog or heavy snow?

A

Run Ups 70% N1 for 1sec duration, max interval 10min.

27
Q

De/anti-ice rotation rate?

A

Normal. Residual fluid causes tempo decrease in lift and increase in drag.

28
Q

APU during DA-Icing?

A

ONly if needed.

29
Q

DA ice complete, engine bleed?

A

Wait 1 min

30
Q

TO static engine run up?

A

OAT 3 deg or below, 70% N1 minimum, 30s highly “recommended”. Confirm stable engine operation before start of TO roll.

31
Q

EAI in flight?

A

ON when icing conditions exist or anticipated except:
*climb and cruise Below -40deg C SAT
EAI must be ON before, during descent all icing conditions, including below -40deg C. DONT USE EAI when TAT above 10deg.

32
Q

Prolonged ops in moderate to severe icing conditions?

A

Lead to fan blade/spinner icing and engine vibration.

33
Q

Avoid Severed Icing?

A

Change in ALT and/or SPEED

34
Q

When to do FAN Ice removal?

A

FLight MOD to SEV icing cannot be avoided.

35
Q

FAN ICE REMOVAL?

A

*ENG START SWITCHES FLT
*A/T disengage
*THRUST INCREASE
Min 80% N1 for 1sec
*Thrust reduce
WAIT 15sec - eng vibration level to stabilize.
Vib less than 4.0 units after thrust reduced, repeat every 15min or sooner.
A/T engage.
ENG VIB 4.0 or greater after thrust reduced, do ENG HIGH VIB NNC.

36
Q

When to use WAI?

A

ice on FD window frames, windshield center post, windshield wiper.

37
Q

Primary method to use WAI?

A

De-icer, but can be used as De or Anti icer. DEicer method cleanest airfoil., least possible runback ice formation and least thrust and fuel penalty.

38
Q

Secondary WAI method?

A

anti ice, before accumulation. Do this only during extended operations in MOD or Severe icing conditions, like holding.

39
Q

WAI ABOVE FL350?

A

BLEED TRIP AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF CABIN PRESS.

40
Q

Prolonged ops in icing conditions?

A

LEF and TEF extended not recommended. Holding with flaps extended PROHIBITED.

41
Q

Why COLD temp Alt corrections?

A

Low temps = altimeter errors = t= reduced terrain clearance.

42
Q

Temp colder than ISA?

A

True Altitude lower than indicated alt

43
Q

Altimeter errors very large when?

A

*-30deg C or colder
*Increasing height above altimeter reference source

44
Q

Apply corrections for?

A

*Minimum Departure
*en route
*app alt
*Missed App alt
Advice atc of above
*MDA/DA

45
Q

Explain The altitude correction method. Just check the FZ procedure as well 10%/20%

A

Alt flow minus elevation = height above altimeter reference setting. Enter the table with AIRPORT TEMP and HEIGHT ABOVE ALTIMETER REFERENCE SOURCE. Read the intersect. Add correction to the published minimum alt. 100 increments. MCP round to highest 100.

46
Q

Alt Correction NOT NEEDED?

A

ATC Vectors
ATC assigned flight level
Reported airport Temp above 0C or if airport temp at above min published temp for the procedure flown.

47
Q

After landing icing conditions:

A

Prolonged ops icing = flaps extended = or when airframe ice observed = or if RW/TWAY contaminated with ice, snow, slush, standing water= Retract flaps 15 until area have been checked to be free of contaminants.

48
Q

EAI after landing Icing conditions?

A

KEEP ON

49
Q

Shutdown icing conditions, trim? Why?

A

Set 5 units. Prevents melting snow, ice from running into tail cone. Excessive water in tail cone can freeze and lock controls.

50
Q

Secure Proc?

A

Attended and need warm air circulation.
Unattended, or staying overnight

51
Q

Cold WX maintenance proc for securing AC

A

covers/plugs
water storage drained
toilets drained
doors windows closed
battery removed - 18C deg.
