E145 Limits Flashcards
Maximum altitude for operation after an inflight depressurization
10,000 feet MSL unless MEA or other constraints require a higher altitude.
Maximum operating airspeed
VMO/MMO 320/.78
Note: Do not deliberately exceed VMO/MMO in any regime of flight (climb, cruise or descent)
Maximum Operating (KIAS) 8000 to 10,000 Pressure Altitude
Red Line
Maximum Operating (KIAS) up to 8,000 Pressure Altitude
250 KIAS
Maximum Turbulence Penetration (VB/MB)
250/.63 which ever is lower. 200 at or below 10,000 ft.
Maximum Maneuvering (VA)
200 KIAS
Full application of rudder and ailerons, and maneuvers involving angle of attack near stall, must be confined to speeds below VA.
Landing Gear Extension (VLOE)
Landing Gear Extended (VLE)
Landing Gear Retraction (VLOR)
250 KIAS
250 KIAS
200 KIAS
Flap speeds
9 - 250
18 - 200
22 - 200
45 - 145*
*Momentary excursions of 155 are allowed
*Steady operation over 145 are not allowed and must be entered in AML.
Maximum wiper operating speed
160 KIAS
What is the CAUTION with regards to the rudder.
A full or nearly full rudder deflection in one direction followed by a full or nearly full deflection in the other direction, even at speeds below the design maneuvering speed, can dramatically increase the risk of structural failure of the vertical stabilizer or the rudder.
Maximum Operating Altitude
37,000 ft.
Minimum and Maximum Takeoff & Landing Pressure Altitude
-1000 ft.
8000 ft.
Minimum Takeoff & Landing Temperature Limits
-40 C. SAT
NOTE: In the event of a landing below-40 C SAT, the aircraft may not takeoff without further maintenance inspection.
Minimum TAT in cruise flight
TAT in cruise flight above 25,000 ft is limited to -45 C.
Icing Definition - On the Ground and for Takeoff (with Visible Moisture)
Icing conditions exist when the OAT is 10 C or below AND visible moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of one mile or less, rain, snow, sleet and ice crystals).
Icing Definition - On the Ground and for Takeoff (without Visible Moisture)
Icing conditions also exist when the OAT is 10 C or below when operating on ramps, taxiways or runways where surface snow, ice, standing water or slush may be ingested by the engines, or freeze on engines, nacelles or engine sensor probes.
What is the CAUTION that comes with the Icing Definition on the Ground or for Takeoff?
On the ground, do NOT rely on visual icing evidence or ice detector actuation to turn on the Anti-Icing System. Use the temperature and visual moisture criteria as specified above. Delaying the use of the Anti-Icing System until ice build-up is visible from the flight deck may result in ice ingestion and possible engine flameout.
Icing Definition - In Flight
Icing conditions may exist whenever the Total Air Temperature (TAT), is 10 C or below AND visible moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of one mile or less, rain, snow, sleet and ice crystals).
What is the CAUTION that comes with the Icing Definition In Flight?
Notwithstanding ice detector monitoring, the crew remains responsible for monitoring potential icing conditions and for manual activation of the Ice Protection System if icing conditions are present (known icing) and the Ice Detection System is not activating the Ice Protection System.
What are the Minimum & Maximum Temperatures for Manual Anti-Icing Operation AND what are the 2 NOTES that come with them?
-40 C & +10 C
NOTE: Use OAT on the ground or for takeoff
Use TAT for operations in flight
There is no temperature limitation for automatic Anti-Icing System operation.
What is TAT?
Total Air Temperature is the SAT (actual OAT) plus the temperature rise associated with high-speed flight due to heating of the air from compression. From a practical standpoint, TAT is the temperature the airplane’s skin feels, while SAT is the free air’s temperature (aka OAT). Temperature rise is proportional to the speed of the aircraft. At 0.8 Mach plus, an increase of 30 C can be expected which may be enough to prevent ice from forming.
When is a runway considered contaminated?
When more and 25% of the required field LENGTH, within the width being used, is covered by:
More than 1/8th inch of: standing water, slush or wet snow
More than 3/4th inch of dry snow.
Compacted Snow
Ice
Minimum Autopilot Engagement Height
500 ft.
Minimum Autopilot Disengagement Height
Instrument approach (APR or NAV mode): MDA/DA/DH Visual approach (HDG or NAV as noted): Traffic pattern altitude (1500 ft. AFL)
What is the limitation for single engine go around with the auto pilot
Single engine go-around with the autopilot engaged is prohibited. NOTE: Go-around ends at 1500 ft.
Can you do a single engine go around with the auto pilot on?
No.
