Answer 1

Memory Item

1. A/P DISC BUTTON ———————— PRESS AND HOLD
2. PITCH TRIM SYS 1 & 2 CUTOUT BUTTONS ———PUSH IN

(QRC - SOPM 02-01.3)

Question 2

Give three examples of information supplied to the PFD by the Air Data System.

Answer 2

Airspeed, Altitude, VSI. (AOM V2 14-09-10.1)

Question 3

Provide at least two higher-level functions associated with the flight controls.

Answer 3

1) AOA Limiting with elevator offset
2) Rudder flight authority
3) Rudder airspeed gain scheduling (Stroke Limiting).
4) Yaw damper and turn coordination via AFCS
5) Speed Brakes - Roll spoiler scheduling with airspeed
6) Speed Brakes Actuation - Configuration change with horizontal stabilizer
7) Elevator control laws scheduling with airspeed
8) Auto-Thrust compensation with Elevator offset

(AOM V2 14-08-10.3)

Question 4

Why is FLCH the preferred mode to use during climb out?

Answer 4

FLCH will provide a maximum performance climb for a given airspeed while mitigating the possibility of encountering a low speed event during the climb out.

Question 5

What temperature information inside the flight deck would be used to determine icing conditions in flight?

Answer 5

Total Air Temperature (TAT). (SOPM 2-4.5)

Question 6

Give three practical uses of Green Dot information on the airspeed tape.

Answer 6

1) Flap retraction in the absence of “F-BUG”,
2) Drift-down speed,
3) Landing speeds during an immediate return to field scenario with no time to calculate landing speeds.

Question 7

What is the memory item for a Battery Over-Temperature?

Answer 7

Memory Item
ASSOCIATED BATTERY ————-OFF
