17
Q

STBY ATT (ILS source)?

A

C ILS

18
Q

STBY ATT (PWR source)?

A

STBY DC BUS

19
Q

STBY IAS (PWR source)?

A

None.

Directly connected to CA’s pitot/static.

20
Q

STBY ALTIMETER (PWR source)?

A

None.

Directly connected to alternate static ports.

21
Q

When does FDR operate?

A

GND - After either engine start FLT - All the time

22
Q

RDMI (IRU Sources)?

A
  • CA RDMI = R IRU
  • FO RDMI = L IRU

C IRU provides alternate heading signals.

23
Q

Will (E)HSI and (E)ADI displays work without respective SG power?

A

NO. Displays are blank.

24
Q

Primary purpose of FCC?

A

Provides data relating primarily to automatic flight for EFIS/FD

25
Q

Source selector switches control what functionality?

A

DISPLAY SOURCES ONLY (ie, CA):

  • FLT DIR: Flight Control Computer
  • FMC: R FMC (CDU for DUAL FMC FAIL)
  • EFI: C SG (C ILS + C RA)
  • IRS: C IRS
  • ADC: R ADC
26
Q

When will R FMC be selected as MASTER without manually selecting via NAV switch?

A
  • R A/P in command
  • All A/P and the L FD are OFF and only R FD is ON
27
Q

EFI Switch controls?

A
  • SG data to respective EFIS
    • backup for either CA or FO is C SG
    • Both CA + FO are using C SG (EICAS MSG)
28
Q

ISS: IRS Switch controls?

A

Selects respective CA or FO to C IRU in event of failure.

29
Q

CDU (ALTN NAV Mode) Available FMC Information?

A
  • PROG PG1
  • LEGS
  • all waypoints must be entered as LAT/LONG*
  • active WPT is magnetic, subsequent are true as IRU only knows PPOS*
30
Q

DUAL FMC FAIL available NAV equip?

A
  • Autothrottles still active
  • NO LNAV
  • NO VNAV
  • HDG bug must be used

SRC Selector to CDU

31
Q

LT OVRD Switch turns on?

A

Overrides normal control and illumes the following at max brightness:

  • FWD Flood Lights
  • Illumed Indicator Lights
  • Glareshield Flood Lights
  • Aisle Stand Flood Lights
  • Dome Lights
32
Q

VIDEO ON light?

A

Safety Demo playing. Do not interrupt.

<em>not all A/C are equipped however</em>
