Q

How are EICAS messages prioritised?

A

Warnings are red, cautions are yellow and advisories are blue (cyan).
Warnings are always on top, followed underneath by cautions then advisories.
If multiple warnings, cautions or advisories are displayed, the most recent is at the top of each colour group.

Q

What is the minimum oxygen bottle pressurisation?

A

1100 but temperature?

20
Q

Where is the fuel temperature probe located?

A

In the left main tank.

21
Q

What is a DAU and what is it’s function?

***

A

Data Acquisition Unit.
Provides data.
There are two DAUs, each with two channels; A is the primary and B provides a standby should A fail.
If channel A fails, an EICAS message is displayed and the engine digital information on the MFD changes to amber dashes.
The pilot then selects the DAU channel B on the EICAS reversion panel.

22
Q

What is the function of the IC-600?

A

It provides the symbols for the PFD, MFD and EICAS, sometimes referred to as the Symbol Generator.

23
Q

What happens if IC-600 2 fails?

What actions do you take?

A

PFD 2 and MFD 2 will display a large red ‘X’ (RMU 1 and 2 will not change).
Refer to QRH.
Select SG on the First Officers reversionary panel.

24
Q

What does IC-600 supply information to?

A

PFD 1, MFD 1 and EICAS.

25
Q

What does IC-600 2 supply information to?

A

PFD 2, MFD 2 and a blocked EICAS output.

26
Q

What happens if IC-600 1 fails?

What actions do you take?

A

PFD 1, MFD 1 and EICAS screens display a large red ‘X’ and RMU 1 displays the first engine page.
Refer to QRH.
Select the SG button on the Captains reversionary panel.

27
Q

How are the EFIS displays supplied power?

A

DC 1 supplies PFD 1, MFD 2.
DC 2 supplies MFD 1, PFD 2 and emergency radio ***.
ESS 1 supplies EICAS and RMU 1.
ESS 2 supplies RMU 2.

28
Q

What is take-off and landing inhibition.

A

A logic that hides unimportant warnings during take-off and landing to protect against pilot distraction.

29
Q

Describe the take-off inhibition logic.

A

Begins at V1 minus 15 kt.
Ends at 400 ft or 1 minute (radio altimeter inoperative)
OR
If take-off is aborted, decelerating through 60 kt.

30
Q

Describe the landing inhibition logic.

A

Begins at 200 ft AGL.
Ends at ‘weight on wheels’ plus 3 seconds or 1 minute (in case of go around).
Does not function if radio altimeter is inoperative.

31
Q

What does the CAS MSG warning on the PFD indicate?

A

The two IC-600s disagree on something.

Refer to QRH.

32
Q

What does the ‘take-off configuration’ button check?

A

Flap position.
Speed brake position.
Trim position.
Park brake position.

33
Q

What are the primary components of the stall protection system (SPS)?

A

One computer with two channels.
Two angle of attack sensors.
Two stick shakers (one on each control column).
One stick pusher (captains side).

The SPS will disengage the auto-pilot if the stick shaker is activated.

34
Q

What is the Aural Warning Unit (AWU)?

A

A single unit with two channels; A and B.
Supplied by DC 1 and ESS 1.
Channel A is primary.
Channel B is backup.

35
Q

When will the stall protection system NOT activate the stick pusher?

A

On the ground (except for test)
If the quick disconnect button is pressed
Less than 0.5 G
Below 200 ft (or 10 seconds after take-off if radio altimeter is inoperative)
Above 200 kt
If one channel is inoperative (or the two channels don’t agree)
If a cutout button is pressed

36
Q

How does the stall protection system factor ice accretion?

A

If the ice detectors have detected ice with flap deployed a speed compensation will be factored.
This is inhibited during the first 5 minutes after take-off.
If activated, the compensation will be applied until a ground test resets it.
An EICAS message will be displayed.

37
Q

What is the priority logic during a windshear escape manoeuvre?

A

1 - Prevent stall
2 - Prevent loss of altitude
3 - Prevent overspeed

38
Q

What is the Pitch Limit Indicator (PLI) and when is it displayed?

A

A symbol presented on the AH that indicates the maximum pitch limit before a stall will occur.
It is green within 10° to 5°, amber when 5° to 2°, and red below 2°.
It is displayed during windshear escape manoeuvres and approaching a stall condition.

39
Q

What disconnects when the ‘quick disconnect’ button is pressed?

A

Auto-pilot
Trim
Yaw damper
Stick pusher

40
Q

How can windshear escape guidance on the flight director be displayed?

A

Manually, by pressing the go around button with any windshear.
Automatically, when in go-around or take-off mode with any windshear.
Automatically, when the TLA is above 78° and a performance decreasing windshear is detected.
