FCOM Vol 2 Flashcards
What alerts after TO could be linked to a Ground Shift Anomaly?
- DISARM SPOILERS - (If not disarmed by 1000ft AGL)
- Failure of ACARS to log/transmit a TO time
- AGS Fail
- Gear Retraction may appear normal, or gear handle may be latched down.
REFER: Ground Sensor Failure Checklist
What alerts after selecting gear down could be linked to a Ground Shift Anomaly?
- Autopilot will disconnect, and unable to reconnect
- FMA reverts to TO roll mode & T/O Clamp (FD will target 20 NU)
- If throttles are moved into a high thrust setting Takeoff Aural Warning may sound
- Cabin will begin to depressurise, “CABIN PRESSURIZED” alert may appear
- *CAUTION** If AGS is armed, Spoilers will deploy at 7ft RA
REFER: Ground Sensor Failure Checklist
If the MCDU Locks Up on ground, what action can resolve this?
Cycle the AP Disconnect switch on the control columns will reset the master FCC
If an MCDU Locks Up in flight, what action can resolve this?
Refer to the Interim Procedure in QRH Non-Alerts ‘Both MCDU’s FAIL TO RESPOND TO INPUTS’
-Record Actions/Responses to assist Boeing/Honeywell
How can a Backdrive condition be identified and differentiated from a Stab Trim Runaway?
A Stab Trim Runaway will continue, A backdrive condition will only last a brief period of time after the release of the trim switches,
How and when can an erroneous stick shaker be activated?
During level off & acceleration to a Mach number, this frozen vane may indicate an AOA high enough to trigger a stick shaker.
RED ZIPPER-Will rapidly accelerate to above current IAS
What could be done if erroneous stick shaker occurs during flight?
- May Descend until Mach values decrease
- Crew find shaker distracting, P-33 & R-33 circuit breakers may be pulled, when zipper shows normal CBs can be reset.
If an Ipad (For example) on the flight deck shows signs of smoke or electrical burning smell, what can be done?
- (If on fire) Extinguish fire - Fire Extinguisher or Water
- Move device out of flight deck
- Cool the device and stop thermal runway, use waste bin covered in water and placed in toilet for monitoring by automatic halon system in waste bin.
When a PSEU Failure occurs, what will display afterTO?
- Vmin Amber Foot & Stick Shaker Zipper speed past V2+10.
- PSEU FAIL (Level 1) at 1000ft AGL
- STICK PUSHER FAIL
- WSHEAR DETECT FAIL
- NO SLATS, Flap (Set) or SLATs with down arrow until retracted
- No Slats on Config Page
What are the crew actions after TO if Stick Shaker activates, regardless of suspected cause?
- Verify SLATs are extended
- Reduce aircrafts pitch angle (Not less than 12.5/15 NU)
- Capt & FO Speed Agree
- Airspeed not decaying & V2+10 or greater
- Thrust to TO or greater
- V/S is positve & Not decreasing
Under what conditions are defined as ‘Through Flights’ and the transit checklist may be conducted?
- No Crew Change
- At least 1 crew member remains with the aircraft
- All electrical buses remain powered
- All FFD items are accomplished
- No Maintenance actions
- IRUs are realigned (Quick Realignment is sufficient)
What is considered the First Flight of Day?
-Crew new to an aircraft, regardless if its been flown. Still considered FFD (for that crew)
If wind gusts have exceeded 65knots what is required?
Must be inspected per the AMM prior to flight
What restriction applies to using the centre tank fuel pumps when the APU is operating?
Do not operate the centre tank fuel with less than 360kg.
If an ‘AUTOBRAKE FAIL’ Level 2 is shown after electrical power up, is maintenance required?
No, the AntiSkid Switch light to OFF then ON will reset the ABS. If alert disappears no further action is required.
What caution is there regarding tailwind with engine starts?
- Greater than 10kts Tailwind requires positive N1 before moving fuel switch to ON
- If tailwind greater than 25kts or if indications of increasing N1 cannot be obtained, Reversers Deployment is required.
When conducting the brake temperature check as part of the config check, above what temperature do charts need to be referenced?
Above 170 degrees refer to the table in the QRH
On touchdown and for some reason spoilers do not deploy, who responsibility is it to deploy them?
Pilot Flying should extend the spoilers.
If L&R Pack Switches are ON when aircraft is left, what issue could result?
If the APU shuts down, the screens will not have cooling airflow and may overheat and shutdown
If a TCAS RA alert is generated, what will happen once the autopilot is disconnected?
The FD Bars will be removed, and only come back once the “Clear of conflict” message is issued.
If TakeOff with Packs OFF is required, when and how does this occur?
Through FMS Entry on TO Page, Packs will shut off at throttle advance and will come on at 3,000ft AGL.
If during start in cold conditions, what must be insured before increasing engine power for taxi?
Ensure all engine parameters are in the normal range (i.e No Caution Boxes on Oil Temp)
If icing conditions exist or are expected after TO, what ice protection should be selected?
Engine Anti-Ice should be selected ON, Airfoil ‘Should’ also be used if conditions warrant. Only a SHOULD not a must.
If engines are at a low power setting, what is the minimum PSI for the ice protection systems?
22psi
At what speed for Main & Nose wheels are at most risk of Hydroplaning
Main = 180psi = 115kts Nose = 155psi = 107kts
What are the flight deck representative surfaces from the cockpit?
Windshield Frames or wiper post
