(NG) BEFORE START FLOW Flashcards
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
CHECK
If on the first crew flight of the day and the Captain performed the Preliminary Flight
Deck Preparation, verify circuit breakers are in or collared in compliance with
dispatch requirements. A CB tripped by an unknown cause may not be reset on the
ground until Maintenance has determined the cause of the trip and that the CB may
be safely reset.
WARNING! Do not reset a tripped fuel pump or fuel quantity indication
system circuit breaker under any circumstance.
Opening, resetting or cycling of CBs is prohibited, except when following an
approved QRH, Flight Handbook, or MEL procedure
ATIS
OBTAIN
It is recommended that the First Officer obtain the current ATIS before beginning
this procedure. If ACARS is available, obtain the current ATIS by selecting MENU >
ACARS (2L) > AOC MENU (1R) > PREFLIGHT (1L) > ATIS (2L)
EMERGENCY ESCAPE STRAP
CHECK
Ensure strap is connected to structure.
SUN VISOR
STOWED
SMOKE GOGGLES, OXYGEN,AND INTERPHONE
CHECK AND STOW
On through flights with no crew change, ensure the oxygen mask is properly stowed.
On first crew flight of the day:
Smoke Goggles – Check and Stow
On aircraft equipped with separate smoke goggles, check the smoke goggles to
ensure the goggle lenses are not cracked and the cellophane wrap has been
removed. Don goggles and adjust fit. Restow smoke goggles.
OXYGEN and (NG) Interphone – Check
Oxygen Pressure – Check
Verify pressure meets dispatch requirements. Refer to 6.020, Crew Oxygen
Requirements if less than 1000 psi. Monitor oxygen pressure during the system
test. A slight oxygen pressure drop of less than 100 psi is normal. A pressure
drop exceeding 100 psi indicates the oxygen cylinder shutoff valve may be
partially closed and requires maintenance action before dispatch.
NOTE: The crew oxygen system has a single shutoff valve located on the
cylinder in the E&E compartment.
CAUTION! If the oxygen cylinder shutoff valve is inadvertently left in the
closed position, the oxygen pressure gauge may still indicate
normal static system pressure; however, the pressure will
immediately drop to approximately 0 psi during the system test.
All oxygen flow will cease in approximately 5 seconds.
Maintenance action is required.
(NG) Audio Selector Panel – Set
Push FLT INT and SPEAKER receiver switches and adjust volume. Position
microphone selector switch to MASK.
RESET/TEST Switch – Push down and hold
Observe momentary yellow cross in oxygen flow indicator.
(NG) Push-To-Talk Switch – I/C or INT
While accomplishing the below step, simultaneously key intercom on the audio
selector panel or interphone on the yoke and listen for oxygen flow sound
through the overhead speaker.
For the MC10 Oxygen Mask, accomplish the following:
EMERGENCY/TEST Selector – Push and hold
While holding RESET/TEST button down, push the EMERGENCY/TEST selector
for 5 seconds and observe constant yellow cross in oxygen flow indicator and
monitor oxygen pressure.
Verify the N/100% switch to 100% and the EMERGENCY/TEST selector to Normal.
For the Full Face Oxygen Mask, accomplish the following:
Regulator Control Knob – EMER
RESET/TEST – Push and hold
Hold the selector for 5 seconds and observe constant yellow cross in oxygen
flow indicator and monitor oxygen pressure.
Release/reset all switches. Verify that the yellow cross does not show in the flow
indicator.
Verify Regulator Control Knob is set to 100%
AIR CONDITIONG SYSTEM
SET
AIR TEMPERATURE Source Selector – As Desired
(800/900/MAX) TRIM AIR Switch – ON
Temperature Selectors – As Desired
Recommended initial settings are:
• (700) 11 o’clock
• (800) AT&T: CONT CAB at “A” in “AUTO,” FWD and AFT CAB at “T” in “AUTO”
• (900/MAX) AAA: All switches at “A” in “AUTO”
(NG) RAM DOOR FULL OPEN Lights – Illuminated
If Air Conditioning provided by:
1. External Preconditioned Air (PCA)
• Air Conditioning PACK Switches – OFF
• APU BLEED Air Switch – OFF
• RECIRC FAN Switch(es) – AUTO
2. APU
NOTE: Operate the APU for two minutes prior to using as a bleed air source.
NOTE: If exterior inspection suggests significant deicing fluid may have entered
the APU air inlet, allow the APU to run with Bleed off and with an electrical
load for at least five minutes prior to placing APU BLEED air switch to ON.
• Air Conditioning PACK Switches – Both AUTO
• APU BLEED Air Switch – ON
• ISOLATION VALVE Switch – OPEN
• RECIRC FAN Switch(es) – AUTO
Engine BLEED Air Switches – ON
PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM

LAND ALT Indicator – Destination Field Elevation (nearest value)
Pressurization Mode Selector – AUTO
AUTO FAIL Light – Extinguished
ALTN Light – Extinguished
MANUAL Light – Extinguished
CLOCK
SET
LIGHT/ DISPLAY CONTROL
AS DESIRED SET
Lighting – As Desired
Displays Select Panel – Set
(NG) MAIN PANEL DISPLAY UNITS Selector – NORM

GROUND PROXIMITY WARNING SYSTEM TEST SWITCH
PUSH MOMENTARILY
NOTE: IRS alignment must be complete in order to verify displays.
Verify switch guards down.
Verify the visual BELOW G/S, PULL UP, WINDSHEAR and INOP warnings illuminate
and the aural “GLIDE SLOPE,” “PULL UP,” “TERRAIN, TERRAIN, PULL UP” and
“WINDSHEAR” warnings sound. Terrain display test pattern shows on navigation
displays. TERR FAIL and TERR TEST show on navigation displays.
RAAS – Preflight test of the system is accomplished during the GPWS test. During
the self test, a test pattern and the RAAS Control Database (RCB) will be visible on
the display. After the above GPWS warnings have sounded, the RAAS status will be
aurally annunciated by one of the following RAAS status callouts: “RUNWAY
AWARENESS OK – FEET,” “RUNWAY AWARENESS NOT AVAILABLE,” “RUNWAY
AWARENESS INOP,” “RUNWAY AWARENESS RTO.” On some aircraft, the RAAS status
callout will be followed by an EGPWS “AIRSPEED LOW” alert
NAV/HF RADIOS
TEST
For first crew flight, test VOR, ILS, DME (see 6.110, ILS Test and VOR Test). When
able, check standby RMI pointers for proper bearings with selected station.
If the route of flight requires HF communications, test all operable HF radios
(transmitter and receiver) prior to flight (see 6.060, HF Radio Test).
If the route of flight does not require HF communications, ensure all operable HF
radios are set to Voice Mode.
WARNING! Do not key the HF radio when the aircraft is being refueled.
Injury to personnel or fire can occur.
WARNING! Do not key the HF radio while the aft service or entry doors are
opened. Personnel may be within 10 ft of the vertical stabilizer
and be injured by RF energy from the antenna
SEAT
ADJUST
Use the handhold above the forward window for assistance when pulling the seat
forward. Do not use the glareshield as damage can occur.
Verify positive horizontal (fore and aft) seat lock
RUDDER PEDALS
ADJUST
Adjust rudder pedals to permit full rudder deflection and brake application. Ensure
the Captain holds the nose wheel steering wheel while moving rudder pedals.
CAUTION! When adjusting the rudder pedals, turn the crank no faster than
approximately one turn per second to avoid damage.
Do not apply force to the pedals during adjustment or to the
crank once the stop has been reached.
