Answer 5

• It’s a primary hydraulic pumps & operates continuously during normal ops.

Question 6

Does the APU need one or two batteries to start?

Answer 6

• Needs both batteries to start APU. Rear APU BATTERY operates the starter. AVIONICS BATTERY is the brain with the FADEC.

Question 7

At what point in the checklist do we retract the flaps and slats? In the air and on the ground?

Answer 7

• In the air: At FRA.Vfto-30 = Flaps 0. Vfto-10 = Slats In.
• On the ground: After exiting runway and performing After Landing flows.

Question 8

Are SID and ODP departure procedures Single-Engine or Two-Engine?

Answer 8

• Two-Engine procedures.

Question 9

Is Vac Two-Engine or Single-Engine performance?

Answer 9

• Vac is a Single-Engine performance based climb speed.

Question 10

Will the RAT deploy on the ground?

Answer 10

• Yes.

Question 11

What is climb gradient on departure based on?

Answer 11

• Two Engines operating.

Question 12

How many Fuel Pumps does the Globals have?

Answer 12

• 10 total Fuel Pumps.
  
  • Wing Tanks: 3 per tank (2 AC Primary Pumps and 1 DC Aux Pump)
  • Center Tanks: 2 (AC Pumps).
  • Aft Tanks: 2 (AC Pumps).

Question 13

When do Fuel DC PUMPS operate?

Answer 13

• Operates when an AC pump fails, and…
  
  • Slats/Flaps > 0°.
  • In the air with gear down and locked.
  • < 600 lb in each respective wing.
  • Auto transfer stops.

Question 14

Are Slats / Flaps electric or hydraulic?

Answer 14

• Electric.

Question 15

What causes a secondary hydraulic pump (1B, 2B and 3B) to start if it is in AUTO?

Answer 15

If the secondary hydraulic pump is in AUTO and one of the following conditions occurs:
* Slats or Flaps are not IN / 0 degrees and at least 1 Engine Generator is operating.
* In flight when low pressure is detected, the associated B pump is automatically activated and will remain energized for a minimum of 5 minutes.

Question 16

How do you know the climb gradient percentage by looking at a SID Chart?

Answer 16

• Under Ground Speed, reference the number at 100 kt. Next move the decimal over 2 spaces from the far right. (i.e., 417 = 4.17%).

Question 17

Does ANTI-ICE come on in AUTO on takeoff?

Answer 17

• Not until 400 ft (ANTI-ICE can’t be in AUTO for takeoff…either on or off).

Question 18

What are the APU Start Limitations?

Answer 18

• 3 start attempts in one hour.
• May start at or below 37,000 ft (bleeds can only be used up to 30,000 ft).

Question 19

What are the Engine Start Limitations?

Answer 19

• 3 minutes ON, 15 seconds OFF.
• 3 minutes ON, 15 seconds OFF.
• 3 minutes ON, 15 minutes OFF.

Question 20

What are the Fuel Panel Locations? Which Fuel Panel is “master” & which is the “slave”?

Answer 20

• Right Wing root and behind the LP’s seat.
• The 1st one turned on is the “master”.

Question 21

• Wing Nav Lights: If secondary light is ON (smaller of two lights), does that mean a bulb is inoperative?
• Tail Nav Lights: If secondary tail-cone light is ON, does that mean that the primary light (T-Tail) inoperative?

Answer 21

• No, most likely overheated, could be failed.
• Yes. In this case you will be MEL’ing.

Question 22

What turns ON Emergency Lights?

Answer 22

• Loss of DC Essential Bus.

Question 23

How are the emergency lights powered?

Answer 23

By their own batteries (4).

Question 24

How are the batteries charged?

Answer 24

• Each battery (Avionics & APU) has a dedicated AC powered battery charger.

Question 25

How is the Engine operation managed?

Answer 25

• FADEC (L & R Engine and APU FADEC’s).

Question 26

What hydraulic system does the RAT power?

Answer 26

• System 3.

Question 27

What operates the nose wheel steering?

Answer 27

Question 28

Can you steer with nose wheel steering off?

Answer 28

• Yes.

Question 29

What is the crosswind limit when using the EVS HUD?

Answer 29

• 15 kt.
  (EVS = Enhanced Vision System. Forward looking infrared used w/HUD).

Question 30

What hydraulic system does the parking brake use?
