Question 6

Maximum Operating Limit (AFM) Speed

Answer 6

Observe Vmo/Mmo and Gear/Flaps Placards

Question 7

Severe Turbulence Penetration Target Speed

Answer 7

280 KIAS/.76M*

• Whichever is lower

Question 8

Air Conditioning

Limitation?

Answer 8

With either one or both engine BLEED air switched on, do not operate air conditioning packs in HIGH for Takeoff, approach or landing.

Question 9

ENGINE ANTI-ICE (AFM)

Answer 9

The engine anti-ice system must be ON during all ground and flight operations when icing conditions exist or are anticipated, except during climb and cruise below -40C SAT, Engine anti-ice must be ON prior to and during descent in all icing conditions, including temperatures below -40C SAT.

Question 10

Auto Pilot

Answer 10

Do not engage the autopilot below 1,000ft AGL on Takeoff. (AFM/ASA)

For single channel operation during approach, the autopilot shall not remain engaged below 50ft. (AFM)

For manually flown HGS AIII approach, the autopilot shall not remain engaged below 500 ft AGL.

Use of Aileron trim with autopilot engaged is prohibited. (AFM)

Question 11

ENGINES, APU

(Warm up/Cool Down)

Answer 11

Warm-up: Engines must be operated for a minimum of 3 minutes prior to takeoff. (ASA)

Cool-down: Engines must be operated at or near Idle (taxi thrust acceptable) for a minimum of 3 minutes prior to shutdown. (ASA)

Question 12

ENGINE EGT (AFM)

Maximum Time Limit for Takeoff Thrust

Answer 12

5 minutes

Question 13

Engine Ignition

Answer 13

ENGINE START switches must be in CONT position for:
Takeoff
Landing
Anti-ice operation
Operation in hail, sleet, or moderate to heavy rain
ENGINE START switches must be in FLT position for:
Operation in severe turbulence

Question 14

ENGINE OIL SYSTEM

Minimum Oil Temperature before setting takeoff thrust

Answer 14

31C - MAX

Question 15

Reverse Thrust

Answer 15

Intentional selection of reverse thrust in flight is prohibited.

Question 16

APU LOAD (AFM)

Answer 16

Bleed and electrical load —— 10,000ft
Bleed Only. —— 17,000ft
Electric Only —— 41,000ft
Maximum Operating Altitude —— 41,000ft

Question 17

APU General

Answer 17

Ensure APU Bleed air switch is closed for 2 minutes after start and for 1 minute prior to shutdown.

Note: When the APU switch is moved to OFF, this time delay is met automatically.

APU bleed valve may be open during engine start, but avoid engine power above idle.

Except for engine start, the APU bleed valve must be closed when another source is pressurizing the left bleed air duct.

Question 18

FLAPS

Maximum flap extension altitude is

Answer 18

20,000ft (AFM)

Question 19

FLAPS

Holding

Answer 19

Holding in icing conditions with flaps extended is prohibited. (AFM)

Question 20

SPEED BRAKES

Answer 20

Do not deploy speed brakes in flight below 1000ft

In flight, do not extend the speed brake lever beyond the FLIGHT DETENT. (AFM)

Do not deploy the speed brakes with more than Flaps 10 extended.*

• Although not prohibited, the use of speed brakes with Flaps 1-10 extended should be avoided as much as possible. The use of speed brakes with flaps extended increases loads on the trailing edge flaps, resulting in increase wear and tear.

Question 21

Load Alleviation (700/900ER)

Answer 21

Manually overriding the load alleviation system is not authorized.

Question 22

FUEL

Minimum fuel temp

Answer 22

Minimum fuel temperature -37C unless actual freeze point is known.

Question 23

FUEL

Imbalance

Answer 23

Allowable lateral fuel imbalance between main tanks 1 and 2 must be scheduled to be zero.

Transient fuel imbalance must not exceed 1000lbs for taxi, takeoff, flight or landing.

Main wing tanks must be scheduled to be full if the center tank contains more than 1000lbs.

Question 24

Center Tank Fuel Pumps

Answer 24

For ground operations, Center Tank FUEL PUMP switches must not be positioned to ON unless the center tank fuel capacity exceeds 1000lbs, except when refueling or transferring fuel.

Center tank fuel pumps must not be on unless personnel are available in the flight deck to monitor LOW PRESSURE lights.

For ground and flight operations, the corresponding Center Tank Fuel Pump switch must be position OFF when the LOW PRESSURE light illuminates. If the Center Tank is empty, position both Center Tank FUEL PUMP switches to OFF.

Question 25

Hydraulics

Answer 25

Ground Operation of electric hydraulic pump requires minimum of 1675lbs respective fuel tank.
