- Flashlight
- Medical
- ATP cert
- Radio Operator Certificate
- Glasses with backup pair
- Company ID
- Passport
What is meant by the term “Non Annunciated”
Procedures not related to an EICAS message but rather a condition present in the airplane
What is a threat that has a memory item but does not trigger an EICAS message?
- Fumes
- ENG abnormal start
- Trim runaway
- Flight control jam
What is always the priority in any emergency? When should checklists be called for?
Fly the airplane.
Checklists should only be called for when flight path is under control, critical phases of flight (takeoff or landing) have ended, and memory items completed.
Describe the MEAN acronym as defined by the SOPM
Memory items
Emergency items (QRC)
Abnormal items (QRH)
Normal checklists
Are all emergency procedures found on the QRC?
No
- rejected takeoff
- windshear
- EGPWS
- TCAS RA
- etc
Describe the actions and callouts of a rejected takeoff (FO)
- First person to notice condition or malfunction announces it.
- Monitor airplane deceleration status
- Verify reverse thrust
- Cancel warnings
- Callout “80 KNOTS”
- Advise ATC you are stopping on runway
- Perform appropriate checklist when called for
FO emergency evacuation duties
- Assist PIC and FA’s when necessary
- Assume command if PIC incapacitated
- Remove applicable emergency equipment
- Exit immediately and assist evacuation from outside the aircraft.
- Direct passengers away from aircraft, at least 500 feet upwind
Why are some EICAS messages inhibited during takeoff including nearly all caution messages?
The system uses a level of prioritization of messages called K codes to only give the most critical messages during a takeoff. This is to prevent them from being a nuisance and potentially causing a rejected takeoff when it needed.
Example: bleed 1 overpressure caution message inhibited during takeoff roll. RTO would not be warranted for such an event
Does the SOPM direct crews to reject a takeoff for a caution message?
No.
Briefing is “If we have an ENGINE FAILURE, FIRE, OR EMERGENCY prior to V1, we reject.”
No need to reject for a caution message.
With the EICAS presentation, why are aural warnings necessary?
They are used when pilots need immediate knowledge without having to look at a visual indication of a problem or condition.
What is significant about a voice message? I.E. “sinkrate, traffic, etc.”
Voice messages are generated whenever a potentially dangerous condition exists
What items trigger a takeoff configuration warning when thrust is applied?
- Flaps not in a takeoff setting
- Flap position does not match FMS takeoff page 2
- Parking brake ON
- Pitch trim is not in green range
- Any spoiler panel is deployed
What are some reasons why pilots have attempted to takeoff with one engine running?
Root cause: Ineffective checklist discipline and failure to recognize threats related to technology, distractions, and effectively applying the TEM.
Other causes:
- late runway change
- rushing
- Not adhering time SOPM
- Changing weather
- Complex SIDs
After the completion of a rejected takeoff, when can the airplane exit the runway?
The airplane must remain on the runway until it is absolutely clear that an emergency evacuation is not necessary and the entire scenario is analyzed.
Describe a windshear warning’s action and callouts PF
-MAX thrust
-Follow FD guidance
-No configuration changes until clear of windshear and terrain
-After PM calls “windshear warning gone”,
reduce to climb thrust, callout “FLCH, HDG, AP, AT”
-Once stabilized in climb, “climb sequence after takeoff checklist”
Describe a windshear warning’s action and callouts PM
- If below 1,000’, callout “CLIMBING ____FEET” or “DESCENDING ____FEET” using the RA for altitude callouts
- If above 1,000’, callout “CLIMBING” or “DESCENDING”.
- When clear of windshear and terrain, “WINDSHEAR WARNING GONE”
- engage modes as called for
How will selecting LLWS in ACARS affect takeoff performance?
- T/O 1
- Optimized flap setting
- No flex
ACARS is inoperative. You need takeoff data for LLWS conditions. How do you get it?
Contact the dispatcher
Describe the EGPWS escape procedure actions and callouts PF
- AP OFF
- MAX THRUST and pitch 20° or PLI
- Maintain configuration
- Climb to MSA/MORA
- When clear of terrain, engage HDG, FLCH, AP, AT.
- Retract gear and flaps and resume normal flight
Describe the EGPWS escape procedure actions and callouts PM
- Verify all actions are being performed
- Communicate with ATC
- Turn on FSTN BELTS sign
- Scan for any visual reference
- Call out radar altimeter indications
- Read terrain information on MFD and guide PF on relation to terrain/when clear of terrain
Is the pitch target of 20° for an EGPWS escape procedure regarding the actual pitch or the flight path angle?
It is the actual pitch of the plane, or the black pitch attitude. Not the green flight path angle indication.
On the terrain awareness display, what does a solid red color indicate?
About 30 seconds from impact
On the terrain awareness display, what do high density yellow dots indicate?
Terrain is 1,000’-2,000’ above the airplane
