19
Q

How do you stow a O2 mask?

A

SOPM 04-09.10

20
Q

What do pilots do to ensure the altitude maintained is the altitude reported to ATC by the transponder?

A

Transponder is set to the same side (1 or 2) as the autopilot

21
Q

To avoid TCAS RA, the vertical speeds must be reduced to ____ at least ____ prior to reaching cleared flight level.

A
  • 1500fpm

- 1000ft

22
Q

What criteria wont allow you to continue RVSM ops?

A
  • Altitude deviation 200ft or > (Declare emergency)
  • Failure of transponders
  • Failure of EITHER primary altimeter system
  • Failure of ALT alerting andor capture capability
  • Failure of AFCS (autopilot)
23
Q

What deviation between altimeters may indicate a system failure?

A

Discrepancy of 200ft

24
Q

How are stall margins increased when inadvertent flight into severe turbulence occurs?

A

Come back to

25
What should the pilot do with regards to altitude when in turbulent air?
Do not chase. Ride out deviations.
26
What should the pilot do with regards to thrust setting when in turbulent air?
Set for TGT airspeed. Change only if variation is unacceptable.
27
What should the pilot do with regards to airspeed when in turbulent air?
Do not chase. Fly max Vb or Mb
28
What should the pilot do with regards to attitude when in turbulent air?
Do not apply sudden, large control inputs. Maintain wings level and pitch attitude.
29
What should the pilot do with regards to pitch trim when in turbulent air?
After set for Vb/Mb, do not change
30
What technique are used to fly manually flying in severe turbulence?
- Use attitude indicator as primary instrument. - Control Airplane smoothly and first. - Fly Vb or less.
31
What is the Driftdown procedure?
- Max continuous thrust - Perf cards for driftdown speed (or VENR) - Ice protection ONLY when necessary - Proceed to nearest suitable/driftdown alternate - Aerodata Perf handbook
32
Where is VENR located?
Speed Cards
33
How is VENR determined?
Altitude
34
What are the DOUBLE ENGINE FAILURE memory items?
1) CONTINUOUS IGNITION ON | 2) AIRSPEED NO LESS THAN 240KIAS
