Q

Airspeed tape: what is the meaning of the green dot ?

A

Indicated the driftdown speed when slap/flap is UP and is the ideal slap/flap extension speed for current weight.It does not account for ice, therefore when flying in icing conditions, it is recommend to add 10 kts.

A

No, ACP 1 to VHF 1, ACP 2 to VHF 2.

27
Q

How many ADS exist in the E-jet ?They consist of ?

A

5 independent ADS.They consist of:- ADSP (MFP + ADC)- TAT- ADA

28
Q

What is the probe configuration for every ADS ?

A

ADS 1: TAT 1 + ADSP 1/2 + ADA 1ADS 2:TAT 2 + ADSP 3/4 + ADA 2ADS 3:TAT 1 + ADSP 3/4 + ADA 3ADS 4:ADSP 3/4 + IESSADS 5: combination for flight control system

29
Q

A

Yes.

30
Q

The IESS is connected to which ADS ?

A

ADS 4.

31
Q

What happens in case of failure of the ADS ?

A

It automatically reverts. After manual or automatic reversion, the selected source is displayed with a flag and a stripe bar illuminates on the reversionary button.

32
Q

What is the reversion logic for the ADS ?

A

CPT : ADS 1 - ADS 3 - ADS 2F/O: ADS 3 - ADS 3 - ADS 1

33
Q

What are the indications for 1 failed RA ?

A

The remaining RA provides indications for both PFD’s, RA is indicated in amber. An EICAS message is shown indicating the failed system.

34
Q

When is the IESS powered ?How long does alignment take ?

A

As soon as both BATT switches are set to ON/AUTO.Alignment takes about 90 sec.

35
Q

Which msg is displayed when the IESS has a loss of data ?

A

OUT OF ORDER.

36
Q

Does the elapsed time timer reset between flights ?

A

No.

37
Q

Where are VDR 1 and 2 located ?

A

In MRC 1 and 2.

38
Q

What is the configuration of the MRC’s in relation with the ACP and ASCB ?

A

ASCB - MRC 1/2 - Audio/mic BUS - ACP 1/2/3

39
Q

Is data communication possible through VDR 1 or VDR 2 ?

A

No, only through VDR 3.

40
Q

How does VDR 3 communicate with the rest of the systems ?

A

Through MRC 2 and directly to MAU 1 for data transmission.

41
Q

Is there a tuning backup in case of loss of both MAU’s ?

A

Yes, MCDU 2 contains a backup that bypasses MAU 2.

42
Q

What happens if you press the ATTND CALL button on the overhead panel ?

A

Only a single high/lo tone chimes, no other indications.

43
Q

How many DVDR are installed in the E-jet ?They consist of ?

A

2 DVDR units are installed. They combine a FDR and a CVR.

44
Q

Is voice data still recorded if there is an airplane power loss ?

A

Yes, DVDR 1 is equipped with an internal battery.

45
Q

The DVDR records in minutes :

A

120 min of audio(power up - 10min after power down)
25 hr of flight data
(engine start - engine shutdown)

46
Q

What is CMF ?

A

Communication management function. It can include ACARS, ATS data communications,,,

A

FMS 1 - GPS 1FMS 2 - GPS 2.

52
Q

Is it possible to tune the transponder in case of loss of both MAU’s ?

A

1 RTA (receiver transmitter antenna unit)2 virtual wx radar controllers.

54
Q

Wx radar: Is it possible for one pilot to be using the GMAP function while the other pilot is using WX ?

A

Yes.

55
Q

When is wx radar: FSBY displayed ?How can it be overridden ?

On the ground.If both pilots select FSBY OVRD.

56
Q

Wx radar: What is the TGT function ?

A

It monitors weather beyond the selected range and 7,5 deg on each side of the airplane heading, until a range of 200nm. If wx is detected, the TGT annunciation is shown.It is inactive when hazards are within the selected range.

57
Q

Wx radar: What is the SECT function ?

A

It reduces the sweep from 60deg to 30deg, and increases the sweep rate x 2. (24 sweeps iso. 12 sweeps)

58
Q

Wx radar: What is the REACT function ?

A

Rain echo attentuation compensation technique. It increases the gain of the receiver (when passing through a storm).

59
Q

Where is FMS 1 and 2 located ?

A

FMS 1: MAU 2.FMS 2: MAU 3.

60
Q

When is an VTA issued on the PFD ?

A

A vertical track alert is issued 60sec before the FMS commands a climb / descent OR 1,000 ft before a level-off.

61
Q

When is the DES now function available in the FMS ?

A

From 50 nm or less from the calculated TOD. It starts a descent of 1000 fpm.

62
Q

When is a late descent enabled ?

A

Started a descent after the calculated TOD. It command a descent angle 1,5deg steeper than the planned descent angle.

63
Q

When is a VNAV descent performed in VFLCH instead of VPATH.

A

VFLCH: no altitude constraint down to 10nm / 1,500 ft prior to destination airport. It also complies with speed/altitude limits.
