What are the functions of the minimums knob on the EIS control Knob (EIS) (3)

RA- Sets RA bug on PFD altitude tape by rotating inner collar

BARO- Sets BARO bug on the PFD altitude tape by rotating the inner collar

PUSH - Resets PFD DH alert and silences the aural warning

What are the functions of the BAROSET knob on the EIS control panel
QFE/QNH
PULL

QFE/QNH - Selects QFE or QNH for PDF displays by rotating the inner knob (QFE is disabled and unavailable)

PULL - Selects standard baroset (29.92 or 1013) for PFD display.

Is the ISIS BARO set knob independent of the captains BAROSET on ECP?

YES, any changes will require the use of the ISIS BARO set knob

What do the 2 VIA’S do and which screens do each provide info to….

VIA’S prvide data display, flight management computing, central aural warnings, master warning/caution light activation and flight data acquistion

VIA 1 provides info to DU 1 and 3, VIA 2 supplies to DU 4 and 6.

EITHER VIA CAN PROVIDE INFO TO BOTH IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE

Can DU’S be turned off and can all…..

Yes, by turning the rheostat past full dim. If you turn all off they revert to full bright.

ND Switch

With 1 or more DUs inop, causes the existing SD to become an ND

What is a ND and what is a SD….

ND-Navigation Display | SD- Synoptic Display

What color does the pitch limit indicator turn with stick shacker activation

Red

What color does the glideslope pointer turn with excessive deviation

AMBER

What color does the localizer pointer change to with excessive deviation…..

AMBER

What does the AIR DATA Switch do (3)….

1. Selects the off-side ADIRU source for DU’s illuminates AMBER 2. Pushing again restore normal, on-side ADIRU sources

What does the IRS Switch do (2)…..

1. Selects off-side IRS. Switch illuminates AMBER | 2. Pushing again restores normal, on-side IRS

What does the FLT MGT Switch do (2)…….

1. Selcts off-side FMS source for DU’s, Switch illuminates AMEBR 2. Pushing again restore normal, on-side FMS

What does the VOR/APPR Switch do (2)…..

1. Selects the off-side radio system, switch illuminates AMBER 2. Pushing again restores normal, on-side radio

What does the EIS Source Selector (2)

1. Noral postion for captain, VIA 1 | 2. Captain uses VIA 2, Captain on VIA 2 AMBER light illuminates (If FO selection is 1, FO EIS 1 AMBER light illuminates)

What is IRS….

Inertial Reference System

If NAVs are off what indications do you get……..

Nav off light illuminates

What are three things that will cause a NAV OFF light with switches in NAV…..

1. ADiru is off 2. ADIRU is in align mode 3. ADIRU Failure

What does a flashing NAV OFF Light mean…….

ADIRU is alligning and does not get present position for 5 -10 mins Present position entry fails the comparison test with either the stored or calculated present position

Which buses is each ADIRU ON….. ADIRU 1 ADIRU 2

ADIRU 1 - Powered by EMER AC bus and backed up by aircraft battery if normal AC power is lost ADIRU 2 - Powered by Right AC Bus and backed up by independent battery for a minimum of 30 mins if normal AC power is lost (Retains info_

How long doe ADIRU allignment take

About 10 mins, a fast 3 min realignment is possible

How do you perform a fast 3 min ADIRU Realignment

1. NAV TO OFF TO NAV WITHIN 5 SECONDS

Where is the standby magnetic compass located…..

Above and behind the FO and provides heading reference in relation to magnetic north

How do the captain and FO view the magnetic compass…

Through viewing windows mounted on the glairshield

Where is the magnetic compass light switch……

Lower right hand corner of the overhead panel

How long does the flight data recorder record

25 hours

When is the flight data recorder recording

Brake released and either fuel switch is on

What is the purpose of the event switch…..

To mark a aircraft event

How do you know if the transponder passes its test….

PASS will be displayed after a successful test

If ADSB is in AMBER on the transponder panel, what does that mean

ADSB has failed or inoperative
