KV Flashcards
Where do we find tropopause information on a dispatch release? Why is it important?
MWL in the route section of the dispatch. Signifies potential performance impacts such as winds, fuel burn, and turbulent air.
What is the TO Pitch Angle Logic for both engines operating and single engine operating?
All engines operating:
- V2 + 10
Single engine operating:
- Engine failure below V2 + 10: Guides V2 + 10
- Engine failure between V2 and V2+10: Guides present speed
- Engine failure above V2 + 10: guides V2 + 10
What action does the SOPM require when passing through 14,500’ on an emergency descent?
Turn the Passenger Oxygen from AUTO to OVRD
How must the MFD be configured for an emergency descent?
Terrain selected
List four of the seven conditions that require the pilot to manually abort the start.
No positive oil pressure indication within 10 seconds after N2 speed starts to increase
• During engine start with a tailwind, when a positive increase of N1 is not indicated before starter cutout (50%N2). In this case, the airplane is repositioned
prior to engine start to minimize tailwind effects.
• No ITT indication within 30 seconds of engine start
• ITT exceeds start limit (815°C - Hot)
• When oil pressure stabilizes below the engine limits
• N1 and/or N2 failing to accelerate to stable idle speed (hung start)
• An intermittent electrical pneumatic or starter malfunction occurs before the starter disengagement
What does BATT 1-2 Off mean vs BATT 1(2) off?
with a dash, means “and”. Both batteries are off. With parenthesis, means “or” meaning only one of them is off
How would you alleviate excessive pitch up tendencies with a PITCH TRIM RUNAWAY?
Continuous turns helps to alleviate excessive pitch up tendencies. Prepare to overcome unwanted pitch change:
Pitch Trim System 1 Cutout Button.. PUSH OUT
Pitch Trim Switch……………………….. ACTUATE
When must maintenance be called regarding the brake pins?
If the brake wear indicator pin is flush with the housing.
When wouldn’t you want to taxi single engine?
Ramp/Taxiway surface contamination
• Maneuvering room in the ramp/gate area is marginal
• Taxi time to/from a runway is expected to be < 5 minutes
• Airport-specific regulations prohibit single-engine taxi
• Risk of injury to personnel or damage to equipment Additionally, when making the decision to conduct a single engine taxi, consider airplane weight, uphill
slopes, time to warm up the engine, and time to the active runway.
When are reduced thrust takeoffs prohibited?
- Takeoff on contaminated runways
- Reported or forecast windshear
- When a special departure procedure specifies full thrust for takeoff
If the flex N1 value on the EICAS is less than the calculated release value, what would you do?
Lower the flex temperature
Give at least two reasons why a pilot must amend or obtain a new release?
- A flight cannot depart in accordance with the release.
- The PIC or dispatcher requests a change (changes are required for 121.687 items).
- Aircraft change.
- A flight returns to the airport from which it departed.
- Crewmember change (SkyWest only).
- A deferral affecting performance.
If we lose electrical power, how long will the controls have power for? And how?
The fly-by-wire has backup batteries. The batteries provide 15 mins of power.
A minor reduction of release fuel will avoid an overweight condition and allow all passengers and cargo to be loaded. What does FOM ch. 5 allow regarding “fuel
decrease”?
Fuel can be decreased by 200 lb or 50% of contingency (whichever is less) without notifying dispatch
When would you consider a runway wet for performance reasons?
More than 25% of a runway is covered by more than 1/8in of contamination.
Performance data is valid for what range of temperatures/QNH on the release?
- POAT +0 to -10C. OAT can’t be higher.
- The actual QNH can be now lower than 0.10” below PQNH.
Approach speed Vap
Approach speed in the landing configuration.
Approach climb speed Vac
The speed to be used in case of a single engine go around with go around flaps and gear retracted
Vfs
Final segment speed - the speed to be achieved during the final takeoff segment with gear up and flaps retracted
