Q

Minimum Operating Speed

Except as described in normal/abnormal/emergency procedures the airplane may never be operated below what speed?

A

GREEN DOT

When STALL PROT ICE SPEED is displayed, the min speed is GREEN DOT + 10 KIAS.

The GREEN DOT indicated the drift down speed when the SLAT/FLAP is retracted and an engine is failed.

With engines running, GREEN DOT provides a 1.3g maneuver margin, which is also used as reference speed to extend the SLAT/FLAP.

The flap maneuvering speeds are computed. Asked on airplane weight and SLAT/FLAP setting, thus GREEN DOT speed will not change with bank angle nor under turbulence.

Cabin Pressurization Limits

Above 37, 000’?

A

8.3 psi

If either the SFMS cruise flight level is set higher than 37, 000’ or the airplane is actually flying above 37, 000’ the nominal differential pressure switches to 8.3 PSI.

Selecting a crusade altitude in the FMS higher than the actual airplane may unnecessarily stress the airplane structure with a higher different pressure.

The MCDU TO DATASET MENU must be set to ENG when?

Caution:
On the ground, do not rely on visual icing evidence of ice detector actuation to turn on the anti-icing system. Use the temperature and visual moisture criteria as specified above. Delaying the use of the anti-icing system until I’ve build-up is visible from the cockpit may result in ICE ingestion and possible engine damage of flame-out.

A

when SAT is 5°C to 10°C and..

  1. If there is any possibility of encountering visible moisture up to 1700’ AFE

OR

  1. Operating on ramps, taxiways, or runways where surface snow, ice, standing water, or slush may be ingested by the engines, or freeze on engines nacelles, or engine sensors probes.
    - If engine anti ice is needed for ground operations but not for takeoff, the ICE PROTECTION MODE switch on the overhead panel will be used to select ice protection instead of the dataset menu.
56
Q

Icing Conditions - On the Ground

The MCDU TO DATASET MENU must be set to ALL when?

Caution:
On the ground, do not rely on visual icing evidence of ice detector actuation to turn on the anti-icing system. Use the temperature and visual moisture criteria as specified above. Delaying the use of the anti-icing system until I’ve build-up is visible from the cockpit may result in ICE ingestion and possible engine damage of flame-out.

A

When SAT is less than 5°C and..

  1. If there is any possibility of encountering visible moisture up to 1,700’ AFE

OR

  1. Operating on ramps, taxiways, or runways where surface snow, ice, standing water, or slush may be ingested by the engines, or freeze on engines nacelles, or engine sensors probes.
    - If engine anti ice is needed for ground operations but not for takeoff, the ICE PROTECTION MODE switch on the overhead panel will be used to select ice protection instead of the dataset menu.
57
Q

Icing Conditions - Inflighti

When does icing conditions exist in flight?

The engine and wing anti-ice systems operate automatically, in case of ice encounter when the ice protection mode selector is in AUTO position.
