Good to know operational stuff

Question 1

Good to know If either wing tank fuel is…

Answer 1

…above 6,225 lbs
1) Single engine taxi is permissible with left engine only.
2) Unattended APU operations are not permitted.

Reference Fuel distribution (FCTM 2.1.8.2) for further restrictions

Question 2

Good to know APU Startup Considerations

Answer 2

Avoid electrical system changes (including engine shut downs) during APU start.
(FCTM 2.1.9)

Question 3

Good to know During initial electrical power up and IRU alignment (indicated by “ATT/HDG ALIGNING DO NOT TAXI” on the ADIs)…

Answer 3

Do not touch any flight controls, switches, or components during this initialization process, and that includes the FA CMS panel in the forward galley

Question 4

Good to know prior to ALL hydraulic systems being powered…

Answer 4

DO NOT MOVE ANY OF THE FLIGHT CONTROLS

Question 5

 Good to know Oil temperatures and start limits for operations and takeoff

Answer 5

Oil temperature limits:
<-40ºc = No Start
<-18ºc OAT with fog = all engine operations prohibited
≤5ºc = Idle Max
≤20ºc = 30% N1 max
≤50ºc = 50% N1 max
>50ºc = Takeoff power

Question 6

Good to know Engine cool down time

Answer 6

Below 40% N1 for 3 minutes before shutdown
5 minutes prefered

Question 7

Good to know Autothrottle if greater than 40kts headwind

Answer 7

If greater than 40 kts headwind, the auto throttle system may not achieve a takeoff N1 value. Manual thrust may be required.

Question 8

Good to know Airborne wing anti-ice system test limitations

Answer 8

1) Required on the first flight of the day.
2) Temperature must be below 15°C.
3) As long as it is initiated below FL310, and can be allowed to run to completion as long as it is complete prior to FL350.
4) Can be completed on the decent as long as you are below FL310 and 15°C.

Question 9

Good to know If during preflight GA is showing on top of EICAS

Answer 9

Select DU2 off for 1 minute, then back on.

Question 10

Good to know Bank and pitch limitations takeoff and touchdown (rotation/flair)

Answer 10

Bank angle 15° or less (nacelle strike), and pitch of 11° (tail strike)

Question 11

Good to know Fuel mins

Answer 11

3000 Min fuel
2500 Emer fuel

Question 12

Good to know Weights for climb settings

Answer 12

▼120K = Clmb 2
120K-130K = Clmb 1
▲130K = Clmb

A220-300 = +15K to each

Question 13

Good to know LOC & GS Capture…

Answer 13

If LOC is not captured, GS will not capture.

Question 14

Good to know Takeoff below 1600 RVR…

Answer 14

-TO Alternate is required.
-Takeoff is to be performed by the captain
-Must be a static takeoff (come to a complete stop before increasing throttle levers).

Question 15

Good to know Upset recovery…

Answer 15

Push, Roll, Power, Stabilize

1)Push- Reduce AOA (if ineffective, less than 60° bank will help)
2)Roll- Wings level (only after unloading, and maintain approximately 0.5 G)
3)Power- Access energy state, and add or reduce power as necessary (If ground contact is eminent, increase the rest lovers to MAX)
4)Stabilize- Adjust pitch and power to stabilize, then adjust spoilers and Reconfigure as appropriate.

Question 16

In-flight emergency flight attendant/Purser brief

Answer 16

** as the situation allows**
TTSR
T- Type of emergency
T- Time to prepare cabin
S- Special instructions (Which side to evacuate on, signals, etc…)
R- Repeat information back to the Captain

Question 17

Good to know Clean power setting for safe air speed When unreliable airspeed info…

Answer 17

-About 2° Nose up
-50% plus altitude/1000
(no less than 60%)

Question 18

Good to knowEngine failure/drift down steps…

Answer 18

1)Auto throttle- OFF
2)Thrust levers- MCT (Firewall)
3)Set MCT in “THRUST” box in FMS
4)Get drift down speed and altitude from FMS PERF>CRZ page (top right)
5)Run drift down ECL

Question 19

Good to know Stabilized approach criteria…

Answer 19

“RACES”
1000’
Rate <1000 FPM
Aligned with the runway
Configured/Checklist
500’
