PIT comparison monitor will be shown on the PFD when there is a discrepancy of more than how many degrees of pitch

A

5°

19
Q

How many hours of aircraft data is recorded by the DFDR

A

25hrs

20
Q

How is decision height set on the radio altimeter

A

By using the RA knob located on the display control panel

21
Q

What does an amber MIN label shown inside a box at the lower right of the attitude indicator indicate

A

The aircraft is at a radio, altitude, equal to, or lower than, the decision height, setting

22
Q

When does the “Brown ground” appear on the altitude tape?

A

When the radio altitude is less than 550 feet

23
Q

What is the radio altimeter Range?

A

From -20 feet to 2500 feet

24
Q

Which instruments are combined into the ISIS

A

Attitude, altitude, and airspeed

25
Q

Which components are responsible for the interaction among the many airplane systems, besides managing information shown on the displays

A

IC-600

26
Q

How many channels does each DAU have

A

Two

27
Q

What is the purpose of DAU channel B?

A

It is kept as a standby source, which must be manually selected through the EICAS revisionary button

28
Q

IC–600 number 1 normally provides images to which screens

A

PFD, one, MFD one, and EICAS

29
Q

If IC-600 number 1 fails, how can you get information back to the pilot screens?

A

IC-600 number two will control all five displays by pressing the symbol generator (SG) button on the left revisionary panel

30
Q

How can the MFD be used to show PFD or EICAS information, if those screens fail

A

By making the appropriate selection on the revisionary panel

31
Q

What are the main indications shown on the EICAS screen

A

Engine indications, flaps, landing gear, spoilers, and trim positions, total fuel quantity, APU, and pressurization information

32
Q

Where are the master warning and caution lights?

A

On each pilots glareshield panel

33
Q

Regarding EICAS messages, what does the inhibition logic do?

A

It prevents some messages from being shown during takeoff and approach/landing phases to avoid nuance effects upon the flight crew

34
Q

What color are normal indications shown in?

A

Green

35
Q

What color are caution, messages, and lights?

A

Amber

36
Q

Voice messages are normally associated with which type of messages on EICAS or other crew awareness systems

A

Warning

Q

How is the back up aural warning unit channel activated, if channel a fails

A

Automatically

38
Q

Where can you set V speed bugs for the airspeed tapes

A

MFD SPDS sub menu

39
Q

How is the barometric pressure set for either? “NHG” or “HPA “

A

A button on the lower left of the PFD 

40
Q

The TCAS provides vertical direction and minimum vertical speed information during evasive maneuvers for resolution advisories where is this information shown

A

On the PFD VSI

41
Q

In an electrical emergency for how many minutes will the ISIS operate solely on the airplane batteries

A

40 minutes

42
Q

Where are the decision height and the associated RA label shown

A

 Adjacent to the lower right side of the attitude sphere

43
Q

Where is the button for setting/starting/stopping the chronometer

A

On the inner half of each control wheel

44
Q

On the PDF FMA, what are the correct color codes for normal operation in FMS, active mode and armed mode

A

FMS active mode: magenta
Armed mode: white
