José gouge Flashcards
What is the definition of icing
10 to -40 visible moisture and visibility less than a mile
What is the rule regarding contaminants on the airplane?
Clean aircraft concepts all contaminant should be removed prior to takeoff
“pre contamination check”
What are some things to consider if there is snow to be expected prior to takeoff?
Deicing procedures hold overtimes area for deicing airport considerations regarding Taxi routes and frequencies for this procedure
Give one Risk regarding the situation of snow covered taxiways and runway?
Ramp congestion slippery surfaces incursions
If the FBO can accomplish deicing what type of fluid should we request not necessarily brands but what type?
Type 1 is used for clearing and
type 4 is for prevention
What must the engines be warm to before attempting to start them
-23°C
What temperature must the cabin be before Dispatch?
-15°C
Just like the batteries to the opposition what is the minimum voltage you need?
14 V less than that the batteries are no longer viable
What will the battery switch for the emergency battery indicate?
EMER
Are there any other presentations for the emergency battery?
 (CWP) Crew warning panel indicate
white EMER BATT
Regarding the CWP there are two emergency items that do not indicate on this panel what are they?
Engine fire
APU fire
What provides power from the landing and recog lights
Main battery bus
Would you consider Landing Recog lights a high or low draw item?
High Draw
What type of emergency would this come in to play?
Dual Gen fail, you will need to consider that likes to draw down the batteries
What is the max amperage for the GPU?
1500 Amps
Where is the GPU receptacle located?
Aft lower left part of aircraft near the baggage compartment
How do you know the GPU is a usable source of electricity?
The GPS which indicator aluminate
- green indicating the power and polarity are safe for the aircraft
What are the available power sources for the aircraft on the ground?
GPU, APU, three batteries, or engine driven generators
What is the amp limit on the generators?
300 amps
How many batteries do we have and how long are they stated as lasting?
Three batteries and 50 minutes for the main 60 minutes for the EMER battery
Can the batteries power the entire aircraft?
No only the main’s an emergency bus
Can the GPU power the entire electrical system?
Yes through the power distribution panels and the bus tie contactor
What is the purpose of the bus tie contactor?
To reroute powered electrical malfunction or when on a single power source
During flight if we lose a generator what can we expect from electrical system?
A single generator is capable of powering the electrical system
- the non essential buses will shut automatically and power will be routed through the bus tie contactor
