Flight Instruments Flashcards
What do the IRS units provide?
Pitch
Bank
Slip skid
How many IRS units are installed
3
If one IRS fails what happens?
Automatic revisionary mode
What does FPA show
Flight Path Angel shows pitch relative to the horizion
What does a magenta speed bug indicate?
FMS is setting the speeds
What does green dot on the airspeed indicator show?
At least 1.3 g’s over shaker speed
Ideal flap extension speed
Drift down speed
Can you display ILS information on IESS?
Yes
During taxi should the FO leave the ADS probe heat ON after engine start if the OAT is 0 and visible moisture
No, this inhibits the logic on the ground with 1 engine running
How many Air Data Systems do we have?
5 CA FO Backup IESS FCM
Which light does the COMP/CLK adjust?
The clock light
Which control adjust light on the FO’s clipboard?
The chart knob
How can you adjust the overhead light?
By twisting the light
If there is a screen fault, what does the reversionary mode in auto want to give us?
PFD and EICAS
What happens when an ADS system fails fail
If ADS 1 (CA) or ADS 2 (FO) fails ADS 3 is the backup
If ADS 3 fails then cross side back up
ADS 4 is for IESS
How many IRS are there?
2 CA and FO IRS
If one IRS system fails what can we not do?
CATII approaches
What is the difference between FPA and horizon of the
PFD?
AOA
Do we follow FD in stall?
No
What do we use green dot for?
Flaps lowering, Flap retraction (GD+10), drift down,
max endurance
What speed will the pitch bars command during an engine failure?
< V2, V2
Between V2 and V2+10, Maintains airspeed
> V2+10, V2+10
What is landing flap setting for singe engine approach?
Flaps 5
Can you tune radios from PFD?
Yes, by using the CCD
What should FMA show during takeoff?
ROLL, TO, LNAV, VNAV (as needed)
What does PM look at when PF calls check thrust?
Green ATTCS, N1 at carrot, normal engine instruments
What happens on the FMA at 60 kts?
HOLD (ADS probes begin providing data)
What happens on the FMA at 100 kts?
TRACK (IRS position to maintain RWY heading)
What happens on the FMA at 200 ft?
LNAV becomes active
What happens on the FMA at 400?
Autopilot on / LNAV can command turns
What happens on the FMA at 1000?
VNAV active and changes to FLCH
How do we activate windshear escape during a windshear caution?
Move thrust levers to TOGA
When can we not takeoff with FLEX?
Contamination on the runway or windshear is present
When do AT turn off automatically?
When the thrust levers are split 1/2 knob width
When does ATTCS command RSV?
Engine failure, difference of 15%, or windshear
How do we know if VNAV is on?
Magenta FLCH, ASEL, ALT, or PTH
Can we fly a CATII with full flaps?
No
If you had to choose between climb direct and green FLCH, which is a better technique?
Green FLCH
What is a good brake temp for takeoff?
Green
What is a good engine oil quantity?
Green
When does the system switch flight control actuators?
Even and odd days
Do we need green box on flight control check?
No just white dashes
How long a PBITs valid?
50 hours
How often do we check fuel trend monitoring?
TOC then hourly
What is the preferred technique for CFIT avoidance RA or EGPWS?
EGPSW
Can you do back course approaches using the IESS?
No back course approaches are not approved
How long should engine start take?
1 minute, no longer than 90 seconds
When should we use the ET time from the clock?
For flight log time
When does the EICAS declutter?
After APU is OFF, Flaps are up, and Gear Up
What happens when you press the EICAS FULL button?
The EICAS displays flaps/slats, APU, and gear
