miscellaneous Flashcards
Contaminated Runway
…more than 1/8 inch of standing water, snow, or slush,
or when ice is covering more than 25% of the runway width to be used
Why do we set the NO SMOKING SIGN to AUTO instead of ON?
AUTO allows the EMER EXIT LT batteries to charge
Why do we use CAPT on the CAPT & CAPT/PURS sw?
- So the alert may only be activated from the cockpit.
- If one of the cabin CMD push buttons is pressed, only the cockpit horn sounds for 3 seconds.
While conducting the Emergency Evacuation Checklist and an evacuation is required, how should the pilots command the evacuation?
Make a PA announcement and press the EVAC COMMAND pb
If the RCDR GND CTL pb is not selected on, how would the CVR work in automatic mode?
- On the ground for the first 5 minutes after electrical power is established
- On the ground after the first engine start
- In flight (whether the engines are running or not)
- On the ground it stops automatically 5 minutes after the last engine shutdown provided the CVR jack is not used.
How do we ensure the cabin PAs are recorded on the CVR?
- ACP 3 PA volume knob out & at or above medium allows cabin PAs to be recorded.
How many fire extinguishing bottles are there in the cargo extinguishing system?
There is only 1 which has ducting to both FWD and AFT compartments, but the discharge can only be directed to one compartment.
What occurs when the EMER EXIT LT sw is turned off?
All lights turn off and the amber EMER EXIT LT OFF light illuminates.
