Q

When may the speed brakes be used?

A

When flight conditions or ATC requires

17
Q

What are the deceleration distances for the ERJ 175?

speed brakes down

level flight

1000 FPM descent

Speed brakes up

level flight

100FPM

A

speed brakes down

level flight - 1 NM for each 10kts of deceleration

1000 FPM descent - 2 NM for each 10kts of deceleration

Speed brakes up

level flight - .5 NM for each 10kts of deceleration

100FPM - 1 NM for each 10kts of deceleration

18
Q

When must a landing performance analysis using ACARS or the TLR be made?

A

Conditions are different than the planned data or flight crew needs to know absolute performance capabilities in abnormal or emergency situatuions. Practically speaking, it is done for every landing.

19
Q

When would it be appropriate to land on a runway that does not mee the ACARS/TLR mimimum criteria?

A

Energency with no other options

20
Q

when will auto brakes be used?

A

According to the runway conditions and type of operation

21
Q

On the FMS page, what must be assigned to descent waypoints?

A

DES

22
Q

What benefits result from a flap 5 landing?

A

Lower fuel consumption and lower noise levels

23
Q

What benefits result from a full flap landing?

A
  • Shorter landing length
  • greater control on contaminated runways
24
Q

How may landing speeds be obtained?

A
  • ACARS
  • TLR
  • QRH
25
Q

If the STALL PROT ICE SPEED EICAS message is displayed what must be done in regards to VREF

A

10kt addition must be made to the modified VREF

26
Q

If VAC is less than VREF set VAC to ____________

A

equal to VREF

27
Q

Are LAHSO operations approved?

A

YES

28
Q

Who has the final authority to accept/decline LAHSO instructions?

A

PIC

29
Q

What are the weather limitations on LAHSO operations?

A

with PAPI/VASI

  • 3 miles vis
  • 1000 ft ceiling

without PAPI/VASI

  • 3 miles vis
  • 1500 ft ceiling

no windshear reported in previous 20 min

tailwind to LAHSO runway less than 3 kts

30
Q

When must the approach be stablized when performing LAHSO operations?

A
  • 1000ft for straight in approaches
  • 500ft/MDA, whichever is lower, for circling after an IAP
31
Q

Are LAHSO operations approved on wet runways?

A

NO

32
Q

When must touchdown occur when performing a LAHSO landing?

A

First 1/3 of available landing distance or first 3000ft, whichever is less

33
Q

Can LAHSO be accepted if a thrust reverser is deferred/INOP?

A

NO

No MEL can exist that affects the stopping capability of the aircraft

34
Q

Can LAHSO be performed at night?

A

Only at airports with approved nighttime LAHSO lighting systems

35
Q

At what altitude can a LAHSO clearance no longer be issued/accepted?

A

Below 1000ft AGL on final approach

36
Q

When must a rejected landing be performed while performing LAHSO?

A

Unable to land in the first 1/3 or 3000ft

anytime the PIC determines it is appropriate

37
Q

On performing a rejected LAHSO landing, fly the ___________or __________

A

published missed approarch

instructions given by ATC

38
Q

Which SKW airports have approved nightime LAHSO systems?

A
  • ORD
  • DFW
  • YYC
  • STL
