Ground Ops before T/O Flashcards
Who can have admission to the flight deck? (15)
Secret service agents (secret service credentials), FAA inspectors that “must ride” (form 110A), NTSB that “must ride” (form 1660.2), DOD inspectors/evaluators (S&A form 110b and government ID), LOSA flight deck personnel (form 84360-6, LOSA auditor badge, ID), special SkyWest people (SKW badge and must be on release), SKW check airmen/flight ops (SKW badge), SKW non rev pilots (FAA license and SKW badge), SKW mechanics non-rev positive space (SKW badge and MX FAA license), SKW Pilot (SKW badge, FAA license), SKW dispatcher (SKW badge, FAA certificate), pilots (company ID, FAA certificate, medical certificate), technical rep of aircraft/components manufacturer for flight monitoring (VP flight ops authorized this, photo ID, on release), FAA ATC (Form 3120-38 and FAA ID)
Who can carry weapons? (4)
Law Enforcement Officer (LEO), Federal Air Marshal (FAM), Federal Flight Deck Officer (FFDO), other federal agencies
Admission to the flight deck internationally: (3)
FAA safety inspector, DOD air carrier evaluator, SKW check airman
What’s the altimeter tolerance?
The difference between airport elevation and elevation display can not exceed 75’, and 75 ft within each other (100 ft of each other if not in RVSM airspace).
What do you do when you have a tripped CB?
Report to MX via eAML.
What will PIC carry a copy of to the destination? (4)
Load manifest, dispatch or flight release, flight plan, copy of CLR (if available).
What do you check when initially turning on the batteries?
Airplane is not moved until IESS is stabilized (occurs within 90 seconds after power-up), only display 2 and 3 are available, and check the battery voltage
What are acceptable battery voltages?
Minimum: 22.5. Between 21.0 and 22.5: recharge. Below 21.0: eAML.
What should come on when testing the fire extinguisher panel?
Aural warning and warning lights flashing, the entire fire panel (including upper half of the APU emergency stop button) illuminate, 5 EICAS messages, “FIRE” warning displayed inside ITT indicators
What interrupts the E-PBIT? (3)
Any hydraulic pump is running, the FCM panel switches are cycled, the AC power supply is interrupted.
What interrupts the H-PBIT?
When any flight control surface is moved while the test is running.
When does the E-PBIT automatically run? How long does it run?
When an initial AC source is introduced. 3 minutes.
When does the H-PBIT automatically run? How long does it take? How do we run it manually?
When all three hydraulic systems are pressurized for at least one minute and the reservoir temperature is greater than +10*C. 1 minute. Manually: confirm STEER OFF EICAS message, turn ON pump 3A,1,2, turn the pumps OFF after a minute.
When must we do a hydraulic systems warm-up? Where do we find this procedure?
When reservoir temperatures are below -18*C. SOPM.
How do we clear a “RAM air fault” EICAS advisory message?
PACK 1 and PACK 2: push out. Wait 5 seconds. PACK 1 and PACK 2: push in. This message is considered a nuisance and no further action is required when the fault clears.
When must you perform an originating checklist? (5)
FFOD, change in crew, aircraft swap, aircraft has been left unattended, maintenance has been performed on the aircraft.
How long do you have to wait to do the Fire Extinguisher Panel Check after power up and what are you looking for?
30 sec (This is when first EICAS messages appear!). (verify no fire protection msg’s on EICAS prior to test).
- Battery Voltage should be above ___ volts. If it is less than this reference the SOPM for recharge time
- Below ___, it must be written up as a mx irregularity. Do not depart.
- 5
- 0
(Note: taxi time counts towards recharge time)
(Note2: the purpose of this is to have 10 minutes of emergency power on battery power only)
What EICAS msg should you look for prior to HOBO on the originating check?
Verify FLT CONTROL TEST IN PROGRESS msg is NOT displayed.
(Note: since you have not turned on any hydraulics at this point, this would be the E-PBIT test running….which can be interrupted by turning on a hydraulic pump)
What are you checking on the MFD during the Originating check?
HOBO and MFD options
HOBO = H - Hydraulic Temp, Qty, Press O - Oil Qty B - Brake Accumulators O - Oxygen Qty (green 3, cyan 2, amber service)
MFD Options = (Reverse C)
- Select Weather (bottom middle), then STBY
- Select Map (top left), then Weather or Terrain
- Select Plan, ensure Waypoint Centered is selected
When is the hydraulic system warm-up procedure required?
Before starting the engines, when reservoir temp is below -18 C.
After both engines are running what needs to be verified with regards to N1?
N1 value must between -.1 to + .5% of target setting.
Note: If it’s not within these parameters adjust flex temp or resend T/O data with the current temperature
