1
Q

Actuation of the engine crank switch above _________% rpm may shear the Air Turbine Starter shaft.

A

30

NATOPS p2-3
CAUTION: Ensure engine speed is below 30% N2 before actuating the engine crank

Q

In a single engine condition, exceeding what AOA with the good engine in MAX afterburn may lead to loss of lateral and directional control with 1/2 flaps? With full flaps?

Q

Takeoff should be avoided with an excess of how much standing water on the runway?

A

0.25 inch
NATOPS p7-23
CAUTION: Takeoff with significant standing water on runway has caused water ingestion which in extreme cases can cause engine stalls, flameouts, A/B blowouts, and/or engine FOD. Avoid standing water in excess of 0.25 inch.

Q

Leading edge deflections of which (inboard or outboard leading edge flap) beyond the 4 degrees over-travel stop may result in an uncontrollable configuration below what speed?

A

250 KCAS
NATOPS p15-57
Failures that result in extreme inboard LEF leading edge up deflections are highly susceptible to departure at airspeeds below 250 KCAS.
With only the outboard section failed beyond limits the A/C has been shown to be fully controllable.

until a positive rate of climb is established.

Q

Does an “L BLD OFF” or “R BLD OFF” caution indicate the associated bleed valve is closed?

A

No. BLD OFF cautions indicate that the corresponding primary bleed air shutoff valve has been commanded closed and are not an indication of actual valve position. Valve(s) could still be open allowing bleed air to leak.

21
Q

T/F: After an Engine Stall condition, engine restart is recommended after it has been shutdown and the stall cleared.

A

False

22
Q
