Question 2

After turning Batteries 1 and 2 to “ON’ and “AUTO,” what three things are we looking for?

Answer 2

1. Ensure airplane is not moved until IESS is initialized (90 seconds after power up)
2. Verify that only displays 2 and 3 are available. When more than displays 2 and 3 are available, the airplane must not be dispatched
3. Check the battery voltages on the MFD Status Page >22.5 volts

Question 3

Under what voltage must a “battery recharge procedure” be accomplished? Under what voltage must maintenance be called?

Answer 3

If battery voltage is between 21.0 and 22.5 volts, recharge the batteries prior to takeoff through any AC source

If battery voltage is below 21.0 volts, report irregularity and do not depart

Question 4

Why is it important to wait approximately 30 seconds after energizing the batteries before running the fire extinguisher panel test?

Answer 4

To verify there are no fire protection fail messages displayed on the EICAS after power up

Question 5

List all items that are part of the fire extinguisher panel test.

Answer 5

6, 5, 2, 2, 2
· 6 overhead lights
· 5 EICASS Messages
· 2 Aural tones
· 2 Master warning lights
· 2 FIRE messages on the ITT gauges

-Aural warning
-Fire handles illuminated
-CARGO SMOKE FWD / AFT buttons illuminated
-APU button illuminated

Question 6

How do you know your DFDR test is a “good test”?

Answer 6

Digital Voice Data Recorder. Press the TEST button and verify no fail messages display on EICAS

Question 7

What test begins when AC power is applied to the aircraft?

Answer 7

Electrical PBIT (E-PBIT) Electrical Power Up Built In Test

Allow the E-PBIT to finish before turning on any hydraulic pumps. Interruption of the E-PBIT may result in a FLIGHT CONTROL NO DISPATCH Caution EICAS message

The test is interrupted when:
-Any hydraulic pump is running
-The Flight Control Mode Panel switches are cycled
-The AC power supply is interrupted

A FLT CTRL TEST IN PROG Status message is displayed to indicate the PBIT is in progress

Question 8

What test begins when all three hydraulic systems are pressurized in the order 3A, 1, 2?

Answer 8

Hydraulic PBIT (H-PBIT) Hydraulic Power Up Built In Test is performed

The HPBIT is performed when all three hydraulic systems are pressurized for at least one minute and the reservoir temp is greater than 10C.

The HPBIT is interrupted when any flight control surface is moved while the test is running
