Where do you find the slowest safe speed you can be at for a given flap configuration?
Speed Card!
+10 knots to speed listed for each config.
What is the cabin notification completed?
Crossing 10,000’ AGL! ( not MSL )
When is Guard monitored?
Above 18,000’
When is company frequency monitored?
Below 18,000’
find on CO 10-7 pages
Considerations/procedures for QRH/Discrepancy after Block Out
Run the QRH.
DISCREPENCY FLOW CHART!! (FOM 10-31).
Call dispatch phone number listed on the top of the Release!
1 engine running to save fuel.
Defer write up until arrival at destination airport.
What does “Flight and Nav Instruments…..Verified” mean on the checklist?
FMS has proper FIX/RWY/PROCEDURE selected.
Needles are set appropriately.

Standby
When must you contact dispatch with a change to your filed route?
100 NM change is course.
+/- 6,000 below FL310
+/- 4,000 at or above FL310

Total flight plan DISTANCE
Who should usually read and do the Pre/Post De-Ice checklists?
Usually designated to the FO
What are some things to consider when crossing 28,000’
- Change speed preselect from IAS to MACH (usually where 290 meets .74)
- RVSM checks
When descending on a STAR that states “Descend via MACH number until intercepting ___KTS” what is a good technique?
Descend in VS mode, BUG 280 knots and remember to switch over when you reach 280?
Describe the ways something is a THREAT
- Increases operational complexities
- Outside your control
On a STAR when must you slow to 250?
10,000’ or as required by STAR
Where does the 200 knot airspeed restriction exist?
- below B/in VFR corridor in B
- at or below 2,500’ above the surface, within 4nm of C or D
If initiating a climb in SPEED mode, what must you remember?
GET TO THE CLB DETENT but MANAGE THRUST ADDITION TO MAINTAIN AIRSPEED RESTRICTIONS
When can you begin thinking about ATIS/NATS for the destination airport?
After climbing through 10,000’ if not task saturated.
How will you accomplish engine shutdowns for FFOD?
- LEAVE FUEL PUMPS ARMED (see PUMP ADVISORYS)
- SHUT OFF L THRUST LEVER (see LO PRESS)
- Press out fuel pumps (see PUMP CAUTIONS)
What is known icing?
TAT of 10°C OR BELOW & visible moisture.
but not if SAT is -40°C or below
Does the descent rate on the DIR INT page change?
YES, you must keep monitoring and changing your VS with it to stay on the snowflake.
What is a good rule of thumb for airspeeds to bug when begin to slow down for configuration?
Flaps 0 - bug and ok to be at 200
Flaps 8 - 180
Flaps 20 - 170
Flaps 30 - 160
Flaps 45 - Vref+5
If there is a DISCONTINUITY between your arrival and your approach, is that OK?
Yes. Leave it until you’re direct to IAF or getting vectors to sequence.
Vmo/Mmo?
VMO = 335 KIAS MMO = .85
(CFM chart 2-8)
Max cruise Mach in RVSM?
CRJ 900 = .82
CRJ 700 = .83
(CFM 2-8)
