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
Q

What should the pilot do with regards to altitude when in turbulent air?

A

Do not chase. Ride out deviations.

26
Q

What should the pilot do with regards to thrust setting when in turbulent air?

A

Set for TGT airspeed. Change only if variation is unacceptable.

27
Q

What should the pilot do with regards to airspeed when in turbulent air?

A

Do not chase. Fly max Vb or Mb

28
Q

What should the pilot do with regards to attitude when in turbulent air?

A

Do not apply sudden, large control inputs. Maintain wings level and pitch attitude.

29
Q

What should the pilot do with regards to pitch trim when in turbulent air?

A

After set for Vb/Mb, do not change

30
Q

What technique are used to fly manually flying in severe turbulence?

A
  • Use attitude indicator as primary instrument.
  • Control Airplane smoothly and first.
  • Fly Vb or less.
31
Q

What is the Driftdown procedure?

A
  • 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
Q

Where is VENR located?

A

Speed Cards

33
Q

How is VENR determined?

A

Altitude

34
Q

What are the DOUBLE ENGINE FAILURE memory items?

A

1) CONTINUOUS IGNITION ON

2) AIRSPEED NO LESS THAN 240KIAS
