Q

What is always the priority in any emergency? When should checklists be called for?

A

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.

Q

Why are some EICAS messages inhibited during takeoff including nearly all caution messages?

A

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

Q

Does the SOPM direct crews to reject a takeoff for a caution message?

A

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.

Q

With the EICAS presentation, why are aural warnings necessary?

A

They are used when pilots need immediate knowledge without having to look at a visual indication of a problem or condition.

Q

What is significant about a voice message? I.E. “sinkrate, traffic, etc.”

A

Q

What are some reasons why pilots have attempted to takeoff with one engine running?

A

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

Q

After the completion of a rejected takeoff, when can the airplane exit the runway?

A

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.

16
Q

Describe a windshear warning’s action and callouts PF

A

-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”

17
Q

Describe a windshear warning’s action and callouts PM

A
  • 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
18
Q

How will selecting LLWS in ACARS affect takeoff performance?

A
  • T/O 1
  • Optimized flap setting
  • No flex
19
Q

ACARS is inoperative. You need takeoff data for LLWS conditions. How do you get it?

A

Contact the dispatcher

20
Q

Describe the EGPWS escape procedure actions and callouts PF

A
  • 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
21
Q

Describe the EGPWS escape procedure actions and callouts PM

A
  • 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
22
Q

Is the pitch target of 20° for an EGPWS escape procedure regarding the actual pitch or the flight path angle?

A

It is the actual pitch of the plane, or the black pitch attitude. Not the green flight path angle indication.

23
Q

On the terrain awareness display, what does a solid red color indicate?

A

About 30 seconds from impact

24
Q

On the terrain awareness display, what do high density yellow dots indicate?

A

Terrain is 1,000’-2,000’ above the airplane

25
Q

Describe the actions and callouts of an RA (PF)

A
  • AP disconnect
  • AT disconnect
  • Pitch to green rectangle
  • Thrust as required

Once you hear “CLEAR OF CONFLICT”, return to original clearance unless otherwise directed

26
Q

Describe the actions and callouts of an RA (PM)

A
  • Monitor airspeed and altitude and let PF know if speed becomes an issue
  • Scan for traffic
  • Advise ATC you are climbing/descending and responding to an RA
27
Q

What is an “upset” ?

A

Unintentionally exceeding the parameters normally experienced in line operations which are:

  • Pitch greater than 25° nose up
  • Pitch greater than 10° nose down
  • Bank greater than 45°
  • or Airspeed inappropriate for conditions
28
Q

What is the upset recovery procedure? (Overview of philosophy, not specific callouts)

A
  1. ) Recognize and confirm (basically call “UPSET” when either pilot recognizes you are in an upset condition)
  2. ) DISCONNECT all automation, don’t follow flight director
  3. ) PUSH to unload the aircraft.
  4. ) ROLL to wings level in shortest direction
  5. ) THRUST to manage airspeed
  6. ) STABILIZE. Return to normal flight once passing green dot
29
Q

Describe the upset recovery procedure actions and callouts for PF

A
  • Either pilot says “UPSET”
  • Disconnect AP/AT
  • PUSH
  • ROLL
  • THRUST
  • STABILIZE
30
Q

Describe the upset recovery procedure actions and callouts

PM

A
  • Either pilot calls “UPSET”
  • Monitor all aspects of recovery and callout any excessive deviations
  • Callout either “CLIMBING or DESCENDING” based on VSI until returned to stable flight
  • Say “GREEN DOT” when passing green dot
  • Notify ATC of altitude change and declare emergency as necessary
31
Q

When must a cold weather inspection be performed?

A
  • If the OAT is 5°C or less
  • If the wing fuel temp is 0° or less
  • Atmospheric icing conditions present
  • Aircraft has remained overnight and may have frozen contaminants
  • Inbound flight may have residual ice
  • Cold soak suspected in fuel tank area
32
Q

What is a cold weather preflight inspection?

A

An external walk around to detect the presence of frost, ice, or snow on critical surfaces to determine if deicing is needed. MUST include a visual AND tactile check.

33
Q

When does SMGCS become active?

A

1200 RVR. Use those charts

34
Q

A reduced visibility takeoff will happen in the MV. Where can you find the RVR requirements for lower than standard takeoff minimums?

A

OpsSpec C078. (FAR/FOM Cross Reference).

No procedural difference from regular takeoff.

35
Q

List 4 of the 7 conditions that require an engine abort start

A
  1. ) No positive oil pressure within 10 seconds after N2 increase.
  2. ) No N1 before starter cutout at 50% N2.
  3. ) No ITT within 30 seconds of fuel flow
  4. ) ITT exceeds start limit of 815° (hot)
  5. ) Oil pressure stabilizes below engine limit of 25 PSI
  6. ) N1 and N2 failing to accelerate to a stable idle speed (hung)
  7. ) An intermittent electrical pneumatic or start malfunction occurs before starter cutout
