Limitations Flashcards
How many NAV lights
Red/Green NAV lights: two lights on each wingtip-only one on each wingtip operates at a time (MX switch only).
White tail NAV light is actually on trailing edge of the wing. No lights on tail other than logo light.
List lights
3 taxi, 3 landing
One set on each Nose, left-wing root, right wing root
Landing lights are the bigger ones
If those lights are left on, they turn off when gear is retracted
Can the five point harness be MEL’d?
No part a five point harness maybe MEL’d for pilot seats or jump seats.
How is the seat adjusted?
Pilot seat is adjusted up-and-down ELECTRICALLY. If MEL’d, a crank stowed under seat maybe used
How are the rudder pedals adjusted?
Rudder petals are adjusted ELECTRICALLY. If on MEL, only a mechanic can adjust them.
What is the normal and minimum pressures in the walk around oxygen bottles?
Normal pressure 1800 psi, minimum pressure 1550 psi
What doors have slides?
All 4 cabin doors are emergency exits and have slides.
How do the doors move? What are the wind limitations?
All doors move out and swing forward. All four doors are emergency exits and have slides.
Doors can withstand: 40 KTS gusts while door is in motion
65 KTS gusts while latch to open
What gauges are on the door?
One is slide pressure
Second is hydraulic door assist pressure
Are the cargo doors assisted?
Cargo doors are mechanically opened and mechanically held open with the latch. A pole is used for closing.
