KV ERJ After Landing (9) Flashcards
With engine one running at the gate and external AC connected to the aircraft, what is powering the electrical system?
Power priority: Onside, inside, outside, cross-side. According to source priority order, the running engine is powering it’s respective side and the external AC power is powering the other side of the AC architecture. (AOM V2 14-05-40.2)
If the system is not drained properly, what cables routed through the center fuselage might be frozen and rendered inoperative?
Aileron control cables. (FOIB112116-1 pg. 1)
When are ground crews required to drain and purge the potable water system on the ERJ?
Last Flight of the day.
FOIB112116-1 pg. 2
With external ground power connected to the aircraft and after shutting down one engine, the GPU switch-light indicates “AVAIL.” Why and what should be done?
GPU button on overhead panel illuminates “AVAIL” when AC power quality requirements are satisfied. (AOM V2 14-05-10.3) This indicates AC power is readily available. The GPU button should be pressed in. Once AC power begins powering the other side of the AC system, “IN USE” is displayed and the running engine can be shut down.
Who do we contact to verify whether or not the temperature dropped below 0 C during the overnight?
Dispatch. (FOIB112116-1)
How would you configure the aircraft for engine anti-ice on after touchdown?
After landing, the Ice Protection System should be activated if icing conditions exist. (AOM V2 14-12-10.9)
Does this change if thrust reversers were used?
No. Engines must be ran at IDLE thrust for two minutes to allow for thermal stabilization before shutting down an engine. (SOPM 4-13.3) If reversers are used, two minutes of elapsed time has to occur after the thrust levers are returned to IDLE before an engine can be shut down.
How long are you required to wait before shutting an engine down after landing?
Two minutes. (4-13.3)
Is there any paperwork associated with draining the potable water on the ERJ?
Yes. There is an “ERJ 170/175 Potable Water Draining/Purging Verification Form”. (FOIB112116-1 pg. 2)
Does a fault light in the galley associated with the potable water warrant a mx write up.
Yes. If a Fault light is illuminated on the flight attendant panel, an entry in the AML and a call to Maintenance control is required. (FOIB112116-1 pg. 4)
