Question 6

Maximum operating limit

Speeds

Answer 6

Observe VMO/MMO and Gear/Flap Placards

Question 7

Severe turbulence penetration target speed

Answer 7

280 KIAS/ .76M

Question 8

AIR CONDITIONING

Answer 8

With either one or both engine BLEED air switches ON, do not operate air conditioning PACKS in HIGH for takeoff, approach or landing.

Question 9

ENGINE ANTI-ICE

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 -40°C SAT.

Engine anti-ice must be ON prior to and during descent in all icing conditions, including temperatures below -40°C SAT.

Question 10

AUTOPILOT

Answer 10

Do not engage the autopilot below 1000 feet AGL on takeoff.

For single channel operation during approach, the autopilot shall not remain engaged below 50 feet AGL.

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

Use of aileron trim with auto pilot engaged is prohibited.

Question 11

Engine warm up

Answer 11

Engines must be operated for a minimum of 3 minutes prior to takeoff.

Question 12

Engine cool down

Answer 12

Engines must be operated at or near idle (taxi thrust acceptable) for a minimum of 3 minutes prior to shut down.

Question 13

Maximum time limit for take of thrust

Answer 13

5 minutes

Question 14

Maximum start EGT

Answer 14

725°

Question 15

ENGINE IGNITION

Answer 15

Engine start switches must be in the CONT position for:

• Takeoff
• Landing
• Anti ice operation
• Operation in hail, sleet or moderate to heavy rain

Engine start switches must be in the FLT position for:

• Operation in severe turbulence

Question 16

Starter duty cycle

Answer 16

• First attempt: 2 minutes on
MAX: 3 minutes on

• Second and subsequent attempts:
10 seconds off , 2 minutes (NG) 3 minutes (MAX) on

Question 17

REVERSE THRUST

Answer 17

Intentional selection of reverse thrust in flight is prohibited.

Question 18

APU LOAD

Answer 18

Bleed and electric load….10,000 ft

Bleed Only……..17,000 ft

Electric Only……41,000 ft

Maximum Operating Altitude….41,000 ft

Question 19

APU GENERAL

Answer 19

Ensure APU BLEED air switch is closed for 2 minutes after start and for 1 minute prior to shut down.

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 20

FLAPS

Answer 20

Maximum flap extension altitude is 20,000 feet.

Holding in icing conditions with flaps extended is prohibited.

Question 21

SPEED BRAKES

Answer 21

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

Do not deploy speed brakes in flight below 1000 feet AGL.

In-flight, do not extend the speed brake lever beyond the flight detent.

Question 22

Load alleviation system (700W/900ER)

Answer 22

Manually overriding the load alleviation system is not authorized.

Question 23

FUEL

Answer 23

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

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

Transient fuel in balance must not exceed 1000 lbs for taxi, take off, flight or landing.

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

Question 24

CENTER TANK FUEL PUMPS

Answer 24

For ground operation, center tank FUEL PUMP switches must not be positioned to ON unless the center tank fuel quantity exceeds 1000 pounds, except when defueling 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 positioned OFF when the LOW PRESSURE light illuminates. If the center tank is empty, position both center tank FUEL PUMP switches OFF.

Question 25

HYDRAULICS

Answer 25

Ground operation of electric hydraulic pump requires a minimum of 1675 lbs in the
respective fuel tank.

Question 26

Minimum engine oil temperature before setting take off trust (MAX)

Answer 26

31° C
