No less than 25% less than full takeoff thrust

52
Q

When can a flex takeoff be performed?

A

Only on an uncontaminted runway

53
Q

When must ATTCS (automatic takeoff thrust control system) be on?

A

For all takeoffs and landings

54
Q

Engine starter duty llimits

A
  • 1st and 2nd attempts: 90* seconds on / 10 seconds off
  • 3rd through 5th attempts: 90* seconds on / 5 minutes off
  • = 120 seconds while in flight
55
Q

Dry Motoring Cycle Duty Limits

A
  • 1st attempt: 90 seconds on / 5 minutes off
  • 2nd-5th attempt: 30 seconds on / 5 minutes off
  • After 5th attempt, 15 minutes are required before the cycle can be repeated
56
Q

APU starter Duty Cycle

A
  • 1st and 2nd attempts: 1 minutes on / 1 minute off

- 3rd attempt: 1 minute on / 5 minutes off

57
Q

APU minimum start temperature and altitude

A

-54ºC and 30,000’

58
Q

APU altitude and other limitations

A
  • Max operating altitude: 33,000’
  • Max bleed altitude: 15,000’
  • Max engine start assist altitude: 21,000’
  • No APU time limit between 662-717ºC (amber range)
  • In flight there is no automatic APU shut down if EGT exceeds limits
59
Q

What is the difference between SAT and TAT?

A

SAT is Static Air Temperature, or the temperature of undisturbed air arounds the aircraft (i.e. OAT). TAT is Total Air Temperature which is the Static Air Temperature plus the temperature rise associated with high-speed flight. TAT can be measured by probe on the outside of the aircraft as the high speed causes adiabatic compression and heating of the air around the temperature probe. Knowing TAT, SAT can be computed which is required to calculate True Airspeed.

60
Q

When is TAS, TAT, and SAT accurate?

A

Above 60kias

61
Q

When is the standby compass not valid/trustworthy?

A

When transmitting on VHF #1

62
Q

Which kind of approaches cannot be done using IESS (Integrated Electronic Standby System, i.e. backup instruments)?

A

LOC back course approaches
