MY MD Questions 2014(UPS) Flashcards
What 3 things must be done on a close in side step maneuver to another runway?
- Disconnect the Autopilot
- Insert new ILS frequency and course.(NAV RAD Page.
- Push APPR/LAND switch on FCP.
(Dont re-engage the A/P with in the FAF.
ECON/POLICY uses what as its priority?
Path is Priority
EDIT SPEED uses what as its priority?
Speed is Priority.
If you are using EDIT SPEED and the box says ADD DRAG, do you need to honor this?
Yes.
When do we set the missed approach altitude on a non precision approach?
Leveling at the MDA.
Or, if the pilot says “runway insight set missed approach alt”after the 1000 ft. Call/
CFIT requires you to do 5 things. What are they?
- Disengage Autopilot and Auto-throttles
- Aggressively Apply GO-AROUND THRUST
- Roll wings Level
- Pitch to 20 Deg
- Retract Speed brakes if they are out.
Note: new language for heading change if needed for terrain
What Approach needs to be loaded in the box for a ILS/ W/ GLIDE SLOPE INOP?
Normal ILS is Loaded.(no min prof alt)
Note> You still need to us LOC ONLY from the NAV RAD page…
New Non ILS briefing guide, recommends NAV over LOC ONLY..
What are our choices for vertical navigation on a ILS/W/GLIDE SLOPE INOP?
- Vertical Speed
2. FPA
When Evacuating the aircraft if fumes are present on the flight deck, what is the last thing you want to do before get out of your chair?
Take your O2 mask off. Not before
When you are at your MDA on a non-precision approach, what must we remember to set?
Missed approach Alt.
What is required for a Engine Run-up on the ground for GE with engine anti-ice on?
60% N1 for 30 seconds , every 30 mins to shed ice.
MTX should service system 1 and 2 HYD system if below what level?
4.75 Gallons.
Min for System 3 is 6.0 Gallons for dispatch
Which engine has a greater likelihood of engine flameout in low or Idle power settings?
GE.
This is why we use ENG IGN OVRD prior to reducing thrust in icing conditions.
What is the max SLAT extended speed?
280 KIAS
What is the Max GEAR Extension speed?
260 KIAS
Max gear Extended is 300 KIAS
(Gear Retraction is 230KIAS)
What engine has the 50C Deg Oil Temp limitation prior to TO?
PW
Did you know that the speeds have dropped off the tape more than once on takeoff roll on the MD? UPS never told you? Which speed is the most important to have in your head?
VR. If you are at max everything and you rotate to early the drag could ruin you day.
What can we do to ensure we don’t overshoot a Localizer due to high speeds or greater intercept angles than we would like?
Use NAV until joining the localizer, then hit APPR/LAND.
NAV is much more precise….its smarter than APPR/LAND.
And // less than 200 kts
Airspeed lost/Suspect or Erratic. Where is this checklist found?
Second item in the Non Alert Section of the AOM, and QRH….
With Airspeed Lost/Suspect or Erratic, what is always considered reliable?
- PFD attitude
- Nav Display
- Groundspeed
- Engine N1
8-17-18 AOM ATTITUDE N1 Ground speed Radio alt. Radio alt replaces NAV display... I think its both
Passing 500 ft HAT, where should the FO be focusing on a CAT 3 Approach.
Outside the Cockpit. (callout outside references if seen)
(Note) At 100 ft above DH/AH transition back in to FMA indications
When do we us IGN OVRD on the GE engine?
Whenever the conditions call for the use of engine or engine and airframe anti-ice.
Do Aircraft with PW engines require the use of ENG IGN OVRD in icing conditions?
No….
Min Oil temp for takeoff with Pratts?
50C. No limitation for GE…
What can you expect if you have a ground sensor failure.
1Auto pilot and FCP functions cannot be engaged.
- Takeoff warning when flaps are retracted.
- Auto cabin pressurization and Air data heater inop.
- Stall warning, stick shakers, auto slats, and airfoil anti-ice not in normal modes.
- Possible ground spoilers.
What do we need to do prior to thrust reduction if icing conditions are anticipated in the descent using GE engines?
ENG IGN OVRD switch must be turned on and ENG, WING and TAIL ANTI-ICE must be turned on.
No requirement for Pratts
What are the wind additives for the MD-11?
1/2 the steady state wind above 20K.
or full gust factor to 20K. Which ever is higher.
List the controls that must be verified prior to actuation by the PM?
Throttles Fuel switches Fire handles Fire bottle discharge IDG disconnect switches IRS mode selector
Where are Level 1 Alerts found?
Only in the AOM. ( and QRH
If the cyan lightning bolt does not appear on the EGT display after the ENG IGN OVRD is turned on, what is the problem?
ENG IGN OVRD switch is inop.
If trying a restart airborne, you can select IGN A and B individually and also turn on engine anti- ice for the appropriate engine.(turns on ignition system of 60 seconds)
Pressing the fuel dump switch the first time does what?
Dumps to FMS dump value.
Note> INIT Page 3 for fuel dump/ Confirm ?
Pressing the fuel dump switch for the second time does what?
Shuts off dumping/ cancels FMS dump.
Pressing the fuel dump switch for the 3rd time does what?
Dumps to min dump level.(11,500 lbs per main tank.)
When the spoilers are deployed on a rejected takeoff below 100 knots, what type of braking do we get?
Min Braking
Above 100 Knots…. Max
Does it matter if the spoilers are automatically or manually deployed to have the autobrakes function properly?
No
Above 80 kts, 2 throttles to idle gets you what on a rejected takeoff?
Spoilers and Autobrakes
Note> below 100 kts = Min braking
> above 100 kts= Max braking
Which engine requires a 30 second N1 run-up prior to takeoff or every 30 min on the ground when operating in icing conditions?
GE
Do you always have to have ENG IGN OVRD selected on while using Anti-ice is on with GE engines?
Yes
Note> PW engines don’t require it.
What is required for a PW engine when anti-ice is used during ground operations in icing conditions?
Momentary run-up of (min) 50% N1 prior to takeoff.
Note> This run-up should be performed in intervals of no greater than 15 Min during ground operations with anti-ice on.
At 80 Knots, the PM verify_____________ and call
“80 Knots
“T/O Clamp “is displayed in the PFD….
Note> IF the throttles fail to clamp the PM calls “80 Knots, no clamp” PF calls “checks”, disconnects the auto throttles and continues with manual throttles.
During takeoff, WAGS is available from..??
80 kts to 1500 AGL.
Note> landing from 1500 AGL to 50 ft.
What are the main things you should remember before going to the “BOOKS” pertaining to a Engine out driftdown scenario?
- Confirm engine out
- Ensure that FMS speed and PROF are engaged.
- Set new MAX ALT in FCP.
The ENG OUT DES page will display the new MAX ALT and drift down speed.
Prof and FMS speed not available with 2 eng out
When using a EDIT SPEED, is path or speed the priority and how can it be selected besides using 4L.
Speed is the priority and you may also put the speed in the FCP and press FMS SPD within 10 seconds.
Note:
If given speed restriction on descent, you could
Use a edit speed , then us the speedbrake to stay on path if needed . Technique only
When shooting a non precision approach, what color should HOLD be in when PROF is selected.
Magenta.
What are the three things that we need to remember when landing flaps are less than 31 deg?
This is applicable to many scenarios….
- No Auto-brakes
- No Spoilers until nosewheel touchdown.
- Disconnect auto throttles at 50 ft or prior.
Check this answer for accuracy..(Chad)
When would we expect to see the ENG FAIL warning?
During Takeoff between 80kts and V1 when any engine N1 differs by more than 11% with any other N1 RPM..
When the non flying pilot is instructed to retract the slats, what is the visual clue to confirm that this has been done correctly?
The UP arrow is next to the slats and flaps has no arrow.
AVNCS FAN FLOW The flow light illuminated tells you what?
- Low avionics airflow or
- Cabin airflow insufficient for pressurization or
- Cabin Alt > 10,0000 ft.
Note> Flow light in auto mode indicates that the venturi has been automatically closed and the exhaust fan has been turned on. In manual we have to push the FLOW/OVRD switch to accomplish this.
What is the most critical switch on the AIR/ PNEUMATIC panel?
The Cabin Air Switch.
This is the lithium battery light. It indicates smoke is detected in the Upper Cargo. most likely because we cary shit loads of lithium batteries that passenger carries would not dream of carrying.
What happens when the SMOKE light illuminates under the CABIN AIR switch.
Nothing.
Note> Nothing happens automatically, the switch must be pushed in both auto
And manual
When the CABIN AIR switch is pushed while operating in auto, what happens?
The system is configured to single pack operation and the Cond Air Shutoff valve is closed.
Note> In Manual the crew MUST select 2 of the packs to off, per the level 3 cabin smoke checklist.(the checklist still has you push the buttton, this closes the conditioned air shutoff valve.
Why? ?Most likely lithium batteries that we haul from China..
What is the SAFE or conservative way to configure for a non precision approach?
- 6 Miles from FAF . Gear Down
- 4 Miles from FAF. Flaps 35 landing check list
- 2 Miles from FAF. Walk the panel
642
If NAV is engaged prior to takeoff, will parallel rudder be available to engage if we lose engine 1 or 3 in the T/O mode?
No.
