E145 Flight Conduct Flashcards
On the Climb Checklist, what do you need to verify with regards to the engines?
Touch the Ignition buttons and verify that they are either AUTO or ON, and that it is the correct position for flight conditions (rain, icing, etc.)
When does AOM1 recommend having the ignition switches on in-flight?
“During moderate or greater turbulence or heavy precipitation, turn the ignition switch to ON to reduce the possibility of engine flameout due to interrupted airflow.
When does AOM1 say you need an alternate?
Not required if +/- 1 hour prior to ETA at destination, the WX is AT LEAST 2000 ft. ceiling AND visibility of AT LEAST 3 miles.
Does the in-flight Ice Protection Test requirement of 10 C use SAT or TAT to make this determination?
10 C TAT (Total Air Temperature).
What are the requirements for the in-flight Ice Protection Test?
Must be done with a TAT of 10 C or below Must be done before: Entering icing conditions and before reaching 23,000 feet (whichever occurs first)
What altitude must the in-flight Ice Protection Test be accomplished by?
23,000 feet
How do you accomplish the in-flight Ice Protection Test?
Turn the Ice Detection Override knob to ALL for 60 seconds and observe 4 open indications and a NO ICE-A/ICE ON caution on the EICAS
Is it normal to get a NO ICE-A/ICE ON caution during the in-flight Ice Protection Test?
Yes
According to AOM1, what visual callouts are not included in the individual profiles but can be included to enhance situational awareness?
“Intermittent ground contact”
“Ground contact”
“Approach lights in sight”
During a CAT I ILS as Pilot Monitoring, you pop out of the clouds & see the runway. What do you say? What is the PF’s correct response?
“Runway in sight”
“Landing”
What are ALL of the Pilot Monitoring callouts for a Visual Approach?
“1000 feet”
“500 feet, VREF +/- #, Sink #”
“100 feet, Yaw damper off”
“80 kts”
What types of takeoffs are prohibited on contaminated runways?
ALT T/O-1 is prohibited on a contaminated runway.
When must you do a static takeoff?
“If the actual takeoff weight is within 300 lbs. of the takeoff Runway Weight Limit for the thrust mode to be used, a static takeoff must be accomplished.”
How do you perform a static takeoff?
“You release brakes AFTER the engines have reached the target N1.”
If the OAT is <= 10 C & visible moisture is expected prior to 1500’ ALF, what do you have to do?
REF A-ICE must be ON … AND, AND … Ice Detection Override set to ENG
Do the brake temperatures have to be in the green for takeoff? Where does it say that?
Yes, “if brake temperature is in the amber range, delay takeoff until in the green range.” This sentence can be found in the Expanded Before Takeoff Checklist.
What do you have to do different on your first flight of the days items if any ice exist on the aircraft?
Make sure the hydraulic power is not turned on during first flight of the days items in order to check the flight controls if any ice exist on the aircraft which might restrict their movement. Instead, wait until you are deiced to check the flight controls.
How should you warm the cockpit & cabin during cold winter months?
- APU on
- Wait 3 minutes & turn packs ON
- Set the temp to MANUAL 9 o’clock position
- Wait 3 minutes then back to AUTO
- RECIRC fans should be ON
When should the engine ignition switches should be in the ON position for engine start?
If the OAT is 5 degrees Celsius or below.
What should you know about static takeoffs in icy conditions?
Do not perform a static takeoff in icy conditions.
What Manuals & Documents do you have to have onboard the E145?
9 Items:
- Airworthiness Certificate
- Aircraft Registration
- FCC Radio Station License
- Air Operator Certificate
- QRH (Quick Reference Handbook)
- AML (Aircraft Maintenance Log)
- Aircraft Noise Certification Information
- EPC (Emergency Procedures Checklist)
- Spare Aircraft Maintenance Logs
What documents should you expect to find on the cockpit door?
4 Items:
- FCC Radio Station License
- Aircraft Registration
- Airworthiness Certificate
- Certificate of Sanitary Construction
On engine start you start the timer. What are you timing?
You are looking for 2 things:
- ITT rise within 10 seconds of fuel flow.
- The engine start cycle ending at 57% N2 and taking no longer than 40-60 seconds.
What should the engine stabilize at after engine start?
- 64% N2 (70% N2 for FADEC 9.4.1 on) -AND-
* 24% N1
During a normal engine start when does the ignition switch off?
Ignition OFF - approximately 57% N2
During a normal engine start when does the ignition come on?
If in AUTO (which is normal) - 14% N2
If ignition ON - 10% N2
During a normal engine start what is the very first thing you should observe?
N2 increasing
During a normal engine start what is the minimum oil pressure you should observe once the engine stabilizes at IDLE?
34 psi after the engine reaches stabilized IDLE.
When you hit the “Go-Around” buttons on the throttle, what does the Flight Director do?
In GA mode, the FD bars command 10 degrees nose up for 20 seconds, THEN command the airspeed selected with the airspeed bug which should be Vapp/climb.
If on the takeoff roll as PM you saw a #2 amber oil pressure indication, what would you say & what could you expect from the PF?
PM (calmly): “#2 Oil Pressure Amber”
PF: “Continue”
Envoy usually has 1-2 emergencies per week. What is it usually in the E145?
A pack failure that gives off smoke in the cabin or cockpit.
Pack 1 fail - Smoke in cabin & cockpit
Pack 2 fail - Smoke in cabin only
What happens to 2.8 crews per month at a towered field?
Landing without a clearance.
Will the toe breaks work if the engines are off?
No. This means that if you are rolling backward, you need to use the parking break.
What if something went wrong with the push back and you started rolling, what could you do?
Slowly apply the parking brake (which is also an emergency break) to stop the aircraft. Do it slowly to prevent tipping over the jet onto its tail. Use the parking break because toe breaks won’t work without the engines running to provide hydraulic power.
