Normal Operations Flashcards
Who calls for all checklists while on the ground
Captian
Who may do the power down check
Either crewmember once passengers have deplaned
When must a Receiving Check be accomplished?
When: The Power Up Check was accomplished The first flight of the day Crews first flight on the aircraft After maintenance After possible unsupervised access to the flightdeck
May checklist items specific to the XR only (such as back up battery) be skipped if in an LR
NO
Address them as “Not Required”
What items must be checked as part of the Power Up Check?
Power up Check
If a Circuit Breaker be rest prior to power up?
If a CB is tripped on the ground do not reset until contacting Maintenance Control to discover the cause.
What emergency equipment is located in the cockpit?
3

What is the procedure to use if the status LED light for the CVR does not illuminate?
Plug in a headset to the CVR panel, press the test button and listen for a tone.
Why might you start the APU at the end of the Power Up Flow, rather than waiting until 5-10 min prior to push?
The battery voltage is between 19v and 24v
What EICAS messages are shown during a fire detection test?
ENG 1(2) FIRE (W) APU FIRE (W) BAGG SMOKE (W) E1 (2) FIREDET FAIL (C) APU FIREDET FAIL (C)
What is the procedure to use if, after a fire test, the BAGG EXT button remains illuminated
Wait 6 seconds and repeat the test. hold button for 2 but not more than 10 seconds
What procedure is used if the “APU GEN OLVD” EICAS message is presented during the APU Power Up procedure
Verify the amperage output of the generator on the MFD electrical page. If the APU load exceeds 500 amps turn the BATT1 knob to OFF. Once 3 min has passed and the load decreases below 400 amps which over occurs later turn the BATT1 back to AUTO and place the Shed Bus selector to OVRD
When does the CVR begin recording?
As soon as power is established to the aircraft
What should be set in the FLIGHT ID field of the ATC/TCAS CONTROL page on the RMU
ASQ#### should be entered to ensure the ADS-B system broadcasts the correct flight ID to ATC and ADS-B In
Is takeoff in heavy snow authorized
Yes
If:
The aircraft (including the fuselage) must be anti-iced with undiluted Type 4 fluid
The aircraft critical surfaces must be free of contaminates or the aircraft must be properly de-iced before teh application of the anti-icing fluid
A pre-takeoff contamination check must be accomplished within 5 min of takeoff
if a definitive fluid failure determination cannot be made using the pre take-off contamination check, T/O is not authorized.
During operations in Ice Pellets, how is an allowance time derived?
An allowance time must be derived using the “Allowance Times Tables” using the appropriate: Precipitation types and intensities, OAT
What is the Pre-Takeoff check
This check is conducted when the aircraft is hot, just prior to takeoff and is made by observing representative surfaces from inside the flight-deck to determine that the aircraft is free of contaminants
What is the Pre-Takeoff Contamination Check
An external tactile check conducted after the HOT has been exceed to ensure wings, control surfaces, and other critical surfaces are free of all frozen contaminants. This check must be completed within 5 min prior to takeoff
What are representative aircraft surfaces
Representative surfaces are those areas of teh aircrft that are visible from the flight deck (or cabin) that, when carefully observed, allow the crew to make a reasonable determination. These areas include: The windshield wiper mechanism, any unheated portion of the fuselage nose that is visible from the flight deck
What are considered Critical Surfaces
critical surfaces are defined by the aircraft manufacturer and are considered those areas on the aircraft that are most aerodynamically sensitive to the effects of adhering winter elements. Upper/lower wing surfaces Winglets Horizontal Stabilizer Vertical Stabilizer Engine inlet Fuselage
Is a takeoff during moderate or heavy freezing rain permitted
No.
