under what condition would you get a BRL LH (RH) FAULT (FAIL) EICAS message on push back
When being pushed above 5kts and hydraulic system 1 or 2 is de-pressurazied.
After start up if you get no oil pressure indication at normal RPM what do you do?
Shut down the engine.
What are the Start Time cranking Limits on the Ground
90s on 10 off - Starts 1 - 2
90s on 5 Minutes off 3 - 5
What are the Start Time cranking Limits in the Air

Dry Motor Cranking Limits

30s on 5 minutes off 2-5 starts
When should you manually abort an engine start?
- No ITT raise with in 30 seconds
- No N1 indiction after starter cutout 50% N2
- No Oil pressure by the time normal RPM is achieve.
When you “Set” the MCDU in the Before Start to the Line what are you checking in the MCDU
- Checking the routing and each way point.
2. Any speed and altitude restrictions.
When checking the MFD in the before start flow, what are you checking
- Green Oil Level
2. Emergency Brakes Accumulator Level
What do you communicate to ground crew during push back
- Steering Off
- Parking Brake off.
- Ready for push back
While using hand signals during push back, what does the brakes realease signal indicate to the push crew?

wait 30 seconds
When can the captain perform an engine start?
With parking brake on aircraft not moving.
How long must the engines be warmed up prior to takeoff thrust applied
2 minutes
During low oil temperatures the engine must be shutdown when the oil pressure stays below minimum levels for how long
2 minutes
Abnormal Start indications that will cause you to abort a start are:
- Temp higher than 815c
- No rise in N1 by the time the started cut out 50% N2
- No Raise in Oil Pressure indication
- No raise in ITT 30 seconds after engine start.
- Hung Start - No Raise in N1 or N2
