Maximum Zero Fuel Weight - 62 300 lb.
Maximum airport pressure altitude for take-off and landing.
8 000 ft.
Maximum operating altitude.
41 000 ft.
Maximum ambient temperature for take-off and landing.
ISA+35°C
Minimum ambient temperature for take-off.
-40°C (-40°F).
*When must the Cowl Anti-Ice System be on on the ground?
When the outside air temperature is 10°C (50°F) or below and;
1 - Visible moisture in any form is present (fog with visibility less than 1 mile/1500 m, rain, snow, sleet and ice crystals).
2 - Operating on runways, ramps or taxiways where surface snow, ice, standing water or slush is present.
*When must the Cowl Anti-Ice system be on in flight?
When encountering icing conditions or ICE is annunciated by the ice detection system.
*What defines icing conditions in flight?
SAT is above -40°C (-40°F) and TAT is 10°C (50°F) or below and visible moisture is present in any form (cloud, rain, snow, ice crystals).
*When must the Wing Anti-Ice System be on on the ground?
Must be on for take-off when the outside air temperature is 5°C (41°F) or below and visible moisture is present or the runway is contaminated with surface snow, slush or standing water.
When type 2 and 4 anti-icing fluids have been applied, the system must only be selected on just prior to thrust increase for take-off.
*When must the Wing Anti-Ice System be on in flight?
When icing conditions exist and the airspeed is below 230 KIAS or ICE is annunciated on the ice detection system.
*What limitations apply to holding in icing conditions?
Flaps and slats must not be extended.
*What limitations apply to flight in areas of large supercooled water droplets?
Indicated by ice accretion on the flight deck side windows.
Continued operation is prohibited.
If encountering these conditions the Wing and Cowl Anti-Ice Systems must be on and the pilot should escape these conditions.
*How is a pilot able to determine if large supercooled water droplets are present?
Ice accretion on the flight deck side windows.
*What are the CRJ-550 surface critical areas?
Wings, upper fuselage, horizontal stabiliser, vertical stabiliser, control surfaces and engine inlets.
*When is take-off prohibited?
When frost, ice, snow or slush adheres to any critical surface areas.
Can take-off be made if any frost adheres to the aircraft surface?
Yes, under the following conditions.
1 - It may be present on the upper fuselage if surface features are able to be distinguished.
2 - 1/8 of an inch may adhere to the underside of the wing caused by cold soaked fuel.
What is the maximum runway slope allowed for take-off and landing?
A maximum of 2% uphill or downhill.
*What is the maximum tailwind component for take-off and landing?
10 kt.
Can the flight deck door be opened in flight? What are the procedures?
Generally no. However the door may be opened to allow a pilot to enter and leave the flight deck if flight crew physiological needs dictate.
A flight attendant must occupy the control seat if a pilot leaves the flight deck and the remaining pilot must wear the oxygen mask if above FL250.
A challenge and response closing and locking verification must be used to ensure the flight deck door is locked.
What is the maximum weight allowable in the cargo compartments of the CRJ-550?
FWD - 1000 lb.
AFT - 3740 lb and 2710 lb.
What engines power the CRJ-550/700?
Two General Electric high bypass turbofan engines.
CF34-8C5B1.
Describe the engine warm-up limitations.
The engine must remain at idle until oil pressure reaches the normal operating range.
Do not exceed 75% N1 for two minutes after starts or until all engine indications are in the normal range, whichever is longer.
*When can the crew use the engines HIGH PWR SCHEDULE switchlight?
Never.
*What is the maximum ITT before attempting a ground start?
120°C.
*What is the maximum oil pressure limitation after a ground start?
182 psi, but it cannot be greater than 95 psi for a maximum of ten minutes.
*What limitations apply to normal take-off power and maximum power (2 engines)?
5 minutes.
*What limitations apply to APR on one engine?
10 minutes.
*Under what circumstances must continuous engine ignition be used?
Take-off and landing on contaminated runways.
Flight through moderate or heavy intensity rain.
Flight through moderate or heavy intensity turbulence.
Flight in the vicinity of thunderstorms.
*When is the use of Reduced/FLEX thrust for take-off not authorised?
Wing and/or cowl anti-ice bleeds are in use.
Runway is contaminated with standing water, slush, snow or ice (unless its a wet runway and the pilot selects ‘WET’ runway performance data on the FMS)
Warnings or forecasts of windshear or down drafts exist.
The anti-skid system is inoperative.
The engine cannot achieve full rated thrust (as noted by maintenance).
*What are the engine starter cranking limits for a ground start?
Starts 1 and 2 - 90 second on followed by a 10 second cool down.
Starts 3 through 5 - 90 seconds on followed by a 5 minute cool down.
*What are the engine starter cranking limits for an air start?
Start 1 - 120 seconds on followed by a 10 second cool down.
Starts 2 through 5 - 60 seconds on followed by a 5 minute cool down.
