Q

How is Reactive WS detected?

A

Uses TAWS Mode 7 (10 ft - 1,500 ft)

Mode 7 provides reactive windshear detection during initial takeoff and final approach phases of flight using flight data inputs.

Reactive windshear warning alerts are given for a decreasing performance windshear, (decreasing head wind (or increasing tail wind) and severe vertical down drafts)

Q

What are the three gotchas for WS?

A

TOGA <400 ft might not give you MAX (thrust remains in HOLD until the aircraft climbs above 400’ AGL). Crews must manually advance thrust levers to MAX position.

TO/WSHR (during take-off) or GA/WSHR (during approach) will remain as
the active mode until another selection is made and will NOT respect the Altitude selected

Might have to press TOGA twice

Q

We are on approach and below 20 ft AGL RETARD mode does not activate. What are the crew’s actions?

A

“NO RETARD” at 20 ft (FO) - “Rodger” disconnect AT (Capt)

(If no RETARD, Captain disconnects the Autothrottle and reduces thrust to IDLE below 20 ft AGL)

Q

If windshear is reported on departure by ATC, what are some considerations?

A

Talk to Dispatch
Delay departure
Performance numbers for inversion/WS = TO power
Longest runway into wind with best surface
Eng start
Request 15 sec on runway (WS + Turb)
Brief WS recovery manoeuvre
Discuss SOP for predictive WS and Rejected T/O

High wind T/O procedure

Pilot reports of loss or gain >15 kts T/O or Ldg should be avoided

Higher awareness of A/S on initial climb

(AOM 1 1.04.18 pg2)

17
Q

When did we have to do the high wind produce?

What is it?

A

X-Wind >30-32Kts
Tail wind >10kts-15kts

Power to 55 N1 until 20 Kts

PM “20”

Then Full power added

18
Q

What are some additional considerations if windshear was reported on the approach?

A

Delay if able (hold)
Request pirep from atc
Brief WS recovery Manoeuvre
Minimize flap
Turn on Auto updates ATIS
Early stable approach (1,000 AAE)
Vapp speed corrected for gusts
If there is a significant reduction or increase in rate of descent, consider a go-around.

(AOM 1 1.04.18 p2)

19
Q

What clues may indicate the presence of windshear along the intended flight path?

A

• Thunderstorm activity
• Virga (rain that evaporates before reaching the ground)
• Pilot reports
• Low Level Windshear Alerting (LLWAS) warnings

20
Q

When are we clear of warning?

A

Altitude and airspeed increasing rapidly
Flight path under control

21
Q

How do we re-automate after clear of Warning from WS?

A

FLC
FLAP 1,0
AT
Current DG
Speed 240
Alt
AP

22
Q

Time of usefulness at FL400

FL350

A

7-10 sec

15-30 sec

23
Q

What indications may the crew see that indicate an explosive decompression? (3)

A

Loud noise
a heavy fog - may fill the aircraft cabin as the air cools,
Condensation - cooling raises the relative humidity

24
Q

What indications may the crew see to indicate an impending pressurization problem?

A

Cabin rate
Cabin altitude caution > 8500
Cabin altitude Warning > 9865

25
Q

What conditions must be
met for EDM to activate automatically

A

• Aircraft above 25,000 ft and, -
• CAB ALT has exceeded 14,500 ft.

26
Q

What is enunciated when Auto EDM?

A

EDM | HDG | AP | EDM

27
Q

When EDM is automatically activated what happens?

A

• Mode selection light illuminates above EDM pushbutton.
• “EMERGENCY DESCENT” aural alert sounds.
• AP & AT engage (if not already engaged).
• Altitude preselect is set to 15,000 ft.
• Heading mode (HDG) is engaged and present heading is maintained.
• Descent speed set to VMO - 10 kt, or MMO -0.02 M.
• Transponder code set to 7700.
• Seat belt sign turned on.
• EDM displays in the left and right sections of the FMA.
• EMERGENCY DESCENT red warning message is displayed.

28
Q

When can you Manually activate EDM?

A

EDM can be manually activated if the aircraft altitude is above 25,000 ft by pressing the guarded EDM pushbutton on the FCP.

29
Q

What are the differences between Auto and Manual EDM?

A

Manual doesn’t have 7700, seatbelts, oxygen, yellow EDM on EICAS

30
Q

Where can you find the emergency descent check list if cabin alt is <25,000 ft

A

PROC Tile -> Unannunciated Procedures

31
Q

What will happen if EDM button is pressed when the aircraft is already in EDM?

A

Turns EDM off

So does the AP

32
Q

You are level at 24,000 ft and a CABIN ALT warning message appears on the EICAS and the cabin is climbing at 800pm, what are your actions?

A

Descend

33
Q

Where is the DU failure checklist?

A

PROC tile - Unannunciated Procedures.

34
Q

What action should you take if you lose 2 DU?

A

DISPLAY switch is set to the REV position, any full PFD is replaced with a half PFD and either the EICAS page or the MFW

35
Q

What is the trick for the rapid depressurization?

A

Make sure you select
