Question 1

What parameters are check with the takeoff configuration button?

Answer 1

Pitch trim between 4” and 8”, Flaps between 9* and 22*, Parking brake not set and Spoilers stowed.

Question 2

During any windshear warning, should the aircraft be immediately re-configure to gear up and flaps 9*?

Answer 2

No; Disengage the autopilot and initiate a go-around by pressing the TOGA buttons on the TL and pitch to the FD while applying maximum thrust.

Question 3

Is the ASEL function of the FD armed when the WSHR vertical mode is active?

Answer 3

No; The WSHR vertical mode activation will disarm the ASEL function of the FD.

Question 4

What will be heard if the aural warning unit test is successful?

Answer 4

The “AURAL UNIT OK” voice message will be generated.

Question 5

When would the EICAS message “AURAL WARN FAIL” be displayed?

Answer 5

When both channels A and B of the aural warning unit have failed simultaneously.

Question 6

How many transponders are on the EMB145?

Answer 6

2 transponders.

Question 7

How do the CRT’s would look like following the lost of DC Bus 2?

Answer 7

Red “X” on MFD 2, MFD 1 and PFD 2 are blank.

Question 8

How can we ID an ADC failure?

Answer 8

The rolling digital displays and the scale markings of the airspeed and altitude indicators are removed and replaced with a red “X” through there scales. The VS pointer is removed and a boxed “VS” is displayed inside the scale.

Question 9

How can an ADC failure be corrected?

Answer 9

Follow the QRH.

Question 10

What does an amber HDG comparator flag on the PFD/MFD indicate?

Answer 10

A difference of 6 degrees between the heading information compared by the two symbol generators.

Question 11

When would an amber IAS comparator flag be presented?

Answer 11

When calibrated data airspeed differs by 5 knots or more for longer than 2 seconds.

Question 12

When would an ALT comparator flag be presented?

Answer 12

When altitude data differ for more than 200 feet.

Question 13

What does the “CAS MSG” indicates?

Answer 13

Indicates that there is a discrepancy between the IC-600’s

Question 14

When does the DFDR begin recording?

Answer 14

When the beacon is turned on or weight off wheels.

Question 15

What indications would be displayed on the MFD and PFD immediately following an AHRS failure?

Answer 15

ATT FAIL, HDG FAIL and HDG FAIL on MFD if on map mode.

Question 16

When will the stick shaker activate?

Answer 16

When the aircraft symbol touches the PLI. (Vs = 1.13 to Vs; amber range)

Question 17

When your airspeed is in the amber band (1.13Vso - Vso) of the low speed awareness tape, what color is the PLI?

Answer 17

Red

Question 18

When is the stick pusher inhibited?

Answer 18

On the ground (except during test), Below .5 G, if the quick disconnect button is kept pressed, below 200’ AGL (Reverts to 10 seconds after takeoff if the radio altimeter has failed), if either SPS cutout button has been pressed, above 200 KIAS or if at least one SPS channel is inoperative.

Question 19

What does “SPS ADVANCED” EICAS message indicate?

Answer 19

It indicates that the Stick Shaker is set to a lower AOA or higher speeds due to system component failure.

Question 20

When does the “SPS/ICE SPEEDS” EICAS message clear after flying into icing conditions?

Answer 20

Only on ground and after performing the ice test.

Question 21

When does the SPS test be performed?

Answer 21

Receiving flow prior to every flight.

Question 22

What is the main job of the DAU?

Answer 22

The DAU main purpose is to be the main collection point for the EICAS.

Question 23

What happen if pitot tube 1 is blocked during flight?

Answer 23

The CA airspeed indicator will behave like an altimeter.
